[Q] SuperOneClick freezes while rooting - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

SuperOneClick 2.3.3 freezes on my computer when I try to root my phone. I ran it twice with the same result. It freezes on Step 7.
Phone:
Samsung i897 Captivate
OS: Android 2.3.5 (GINGERBREAD.UCKK4) upgraded with Kies mini from 2.2 (Froyo)
Computer:
OS: Windows 7 Pro Service Pack 1
Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone suggest another way to root my phone?

Corn Kernel version 7.0A ---- look in the Development Forum.
Flash it through Odin or Heimdall. Then reboot into the CWM Recovery. There is an option to obtain Root there.
Done.

Thanks for the info. If I follow this procedure, will all the factory installed software (Google Play, Messaging, Contacts, Music Play, Gallery, etc.) disappear?

Nope.
But once u r Rooted u can get rid of bloat that u don't want...through Titanium Backup Pro, etc.
Here is the link to the Corn Kernel thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18233847&postcount=1
Here is Odin if u need it... View attachment 1038976
Download and then open Odin, select the PDA slot, navigate to the .tar 7.0A Corn Kernel that u downloaded to ur pc and select it, connect usb end of ur cable to the pc, put ur phone in download mode, connect micro usb end to ur phone, after Odin recognizes it hit the Start.
Takes less than 10 seconds to flash the kernel.
Disconnect after the Pass, which indicates a successful flash. Remove the cable from ur phone. Reboot into the CWM Recovery. Go to "Reformatting, tweaks and more". Goto "Install Root / Extras". Then select "Install Superuser and Busybox (root)". Reboot.
Rooted and good to go.

Thanks again for the info. I finally got around to rooting my phone, and everything went perfectly. I used Corn Kernel 7.06.
There are instructions here (androidforums.com/captivate-all-things-root/493850-guide-rooting-adding-cwm-recovery-2-3-5-corn-kernel.html) which detail the same method as you recommended. They are very detailed, and include screen shots.

For future readers, you can use the utility in my signature to help you do the same thing.

thanks!
Thank you for putting this script together. I'm new to all this, and it helped me feel more confident trying this out. It all worked fine until the end, when the batch script was saying I should be selecting items from the recovery mode menu. My phone had rebooted into normal mode. I tried to run the script again, and the phone was not recognized, and then became locked into downloading mode. I though I had killed it. After trying many other things, I pushed the buttons to manually enter recovery mode and it turned off, after which I could turn the phone on again, at least. There's no superuser app, so I guess the root wasn't successful, but on startup the screen does say something about the corn kernel, so something was loaded. I'm not sure what to do at this point, except maybe just leave it alone since it seems to be working. If there's a final step that would complete the process, I'd be glad to know it.

To complete your root, go in recovery -> advance and root.
If you're uncertain if you're rooted, try to run a app like Titanium Backup, which requires root.

sort of the same problem..
SuperOneClick froze the first time I used it at step 7 for two hours I tried it again and it my Computer and my phone shut off
My phone rebooted(It did not root) But everytime I try to boot my laptop my startup repair program comes up and after about twenty minutes

I assume your priority is to get your laptop working again. If you can get it to boot at all or boot into safe mode, I would probably do a "System Restore" on it. That may sound a little scary, but I have system restored various computers quite a few times without problems. A system restore should not be done lightly, but it sounds like your laptop is kind of trashed. A system restore does not take very long, and is fairly easy:
* Close all programs
* Click Start, then Control Panel, then System (see below)
* Click "Advanced System Settings"
* Click "System Protection"
* Click "System Restore"
* You may see a "Recommended Restore". You may see a list of restore points.
* Select the most recent restore point (that should be prior to your SuperOneClick install)
* You can click "Scan for affected Programs" if you want. SuperOneClick should be among those that will be deleted
* Click "Next" to restore the computer
* If you installed any other programs after the restore point, you will have to re-install them
* Your documents and data should not be affected
After starting the system restore, you may have to wait 5 or 10 minutes. Do not shut the computer off, or do anything else on the computer. Let it run. The computer will run, and re-boot. When it re-boots, Windows should have restored it to the same condition as before it got messed up.
Depending on how your computer is set up, the System launch Icon may not be directly on your control panel display. You might have to drill down to get it.
You can set up system restore points manually, and it is a good idea to do that before you install any program that you may have any doubts about. Some programs automatically set up a system restore point when you install them, but many do not.
Good luck, and let me know how you make out.

For some reason I'm not finding this anywhere else; so...I used odin and followed the steps exactly. I got everything done, had my phone in download mode and everything, but for some reason...Odin doesn't pass my flash???
I'm a massive noob, so I'm sure I sound stupid right now but trail and error is how one learns, however I've done this trial and error quite a few times now and nothings working for me.
I've tried SuperOneClick and it froze.
I have an LG Escape 4.0.4
Can you maybe tell me what I can do to root my device because I'm so lost it's just ridiculous.

I don't have any idea what I'm supposed to be doing here so I guess if you want to get technical, I suppose that was the case, yes.
I searched how to root my android device and this is what I was reading all over google so I just did what it said.
Apparently that was wrong, which is why I'm here.
Care to remedy my situation? You know more than I do and I'd appreciate the help.

Don't think there is a forum for the LG Escape but a quick search turned up this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33752762&postcount=1. It is a start for ya. Now the rest u will have to do on ur own. I suggest a lot of reading and understanding before u do stuff and possibly make ur phone into a paperweight. :thumbup:
There is a lot of helpful info here on xda. Just take time to read and comprehend.

This trial and error method will lead sooner or later to permanent damage to your LG phone. Odin software and Corn kernel are for Samsung phones only.

ill help you, what seems to be the problem? I need what errors u are receiving and what issues your having..
Let me 1st thank you for your time & effort your willing to endure to help me get this right. I ran into this forum 2 days ago & then i see that I needed to dl clockworkmod v8 which "keep note" I'm doing all of this from my Epic 4G my laptop is not currently in my position it won't be avaiable until next week. Anyway I download the sph-D700US18 on my Epic as well. I tried to run the setup.apk & mobilea.apk & it won't install that's when I found out I needed clockworkmod so I download clockworkmod v8 & turn the phone off & press & hold the vol-, power, & camera button when the factory settings appear for reboot, update.zip etc I don't see it & of course I get a erro message frm that I'm assuming because I don't see nothing with clockworkmod after I download & extract the contents from it on my phone. All I want is just the MobileAP so I can play my ps3 online since its immun to ad hoc mode & btw my kernal version is 2.6.29

ok so a couple a questions i need answered b4 i can help you...
1. Is your phone rooted?
2.If so What current rom are your running? If not you may need to find a computer in order to root and get clockwork.. however i think z4root works from the market and you can flash clockwork with rom manager both free on the market. I havent used those methods to root, but i have used the one click root with clockwork and everything which is really easy if you have a computer and the samsung drivers.
3. If your already rooted then download rom manager and flash clockwork on your phone and it should come up to a green revovery with an android dude out of the box.
then let me know when you got all this done and ill continue to help you.
Thank I download clockwork manager from the market & my phone been rooted I believe with that one click root v2.5.5 with the 1st andriodtether that was on the market that only does ad hoc. Which is what I currently have so I don't believe I need rooting in this case. & the rom manager I installed I have click on flash clockworkmod recovery & it was successful I then cick on reboot to recovery. I have but it still fails what I get is this "FIND PACKAGE, OPN PACKAGE, VERIFYING PACKAGE, E:/ FAILED TO FIND WHOLE SIGNATURE, E:/ FAILED TO VERIFYING SIGNATURE, INSTALLATION ABORTED
Ok so try this: While the phone is off hold the power,camera.volume up and volume down and tell me if the green clockwork comes up?
Its still the samething I keep getting the samething I don't see nothing at all that's green I taken a picture of it but its blurry because the picture been taken with the Sprint/Boost Incognito. I'm looking for a image hosting site for mobile phones so I can show you it but its basically plan & its still failing not understanding why I wonder if that root is different but you said you use the one click root (which is the same route you had to use for the 1st wifi tether app which I have. Still not seeing what's wrong ugh
Also I don't know if this would help but aso it says "Andriod recovery <2e> samsung recovery update etc" for BML "the original screen of course"
Do anybody else have any suggestions on helpin me with this issue
Updated: Known Issues: MMS Breaks when doing this...

This is the same exact problem im experiencing with the installation aborted while your on the screen with the andriod & the exclamation point
i found out what the exact problem was. I can boot into clockmod recovery now the problem is I needed to get to a computer go into the one click root folder & run the command that is called "run" in that folder & follow the instructions now I can go into this clockwork recovery what is the next step to just installing only the Mobile
never mind i did it on my own my Mobile AP is working on my phone THHHAAANKKKK YYOOUUUU guys so much. I'll donate to the developer for making this possible.
Updated!!!
Found out that there are no bugs/issues with doing this.
It was my mistake i deleted sprint app updater which wouldnt let me update my prl and profile and then after i put this back on i was able to update prl and profile and mms got fixed permantly no more mms not sending or downloading YAY!!!
Hey david I wanna ask will mobile AP work if you try to install it on Epic 4G andriod 2.2 I want to update it to 2.2 so bad but dont want to lose this app thats why im still on 2.1

Cant wait...
Doesn't anybody know how to convert this image file into an update.zip that we could flash via ClockWorkMod? Doesn't any dev want to be the unforgattable hero posting the first instructions for TouchWiz on our beloved Galaxy Tab 10.1?
you can restore the img file from backup/restore > advanced option of clockwork recovery! but first copy the img into clockworkmod >backup folder in sd card.
No, it says "MD5 mismatch"...
OK, had a spare I/O tab lying around that I use for development and writing apps, so thought I'd try it....This is with Odin3 v1.3...obviously I have a tab that is not full of personal stuff so I just blasted it....If you want to do it on your one and only then for Pete's sake make sure you back up all data and apps before if you feel it's neccessary
Unzipped the file from the download link.
Select the downloaded .tar in PDA in Odin, connect tab and click start...don't hold your breath, you'll probably be dead before it's finished
When the Odin upload has finished the tab boots straight into recovery mode...I had a few warnings regarding efs and sd extension etc. but as this is a wifi only tab and does not have a removable sd card think that is probably normal.
In recovery the installation program automatically formatted the cache...
As I was strting from scratch I did a factory reset just for good measure.
After many years of mac, pc, prologue and now trying app development work I am a firm believer in "If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing properly"....loading upgrade upon upgrade on existing systems eventualy brings said system to it's knees, so better to start afresh.
Hit reboot from recovery and the usual fresh install scenario started with the pulsating Samsung logo as the dalvik was I suppose re-written
Then went to normal initial setup screen which for some reason started in Italian - I know I eat a lot of pasta and pizza and drink chianti from time to time but that's just ridiculous!!
Initial reaction to visual interface was "Wow!" Now I am a bit of a purist and Vanilla lover but I am not blinkered (never joined any of the blind rhetoric "mac is best", "pc is best" blah blah clubs being a scientist by origin) and I have to say in my opinion the visual interface is far better than vanilla honeycomb
Will run some standard tests and put up screenshots in an hour or so...gotta eat some pasta and drink a couple of bottles of chianti first...
stinky73,
Same result on a Retail Tab 10.1 with a LOCKED bootloader, seeing that it works for me, it should be safe for everyone who wants to try without worrying about a brick.
NOTE: You have to do a factory reset, I got a bootloop but the problem was fixed by the reset

Awesome, can you try and flash the pershoot / bonsai overclock-able kernels and see if they work? Thanks for the info!
Touchwiz UX
I have an unrooted device and followed stinky73's instructions and was able to install touchwiz UX on my device
The only issue i have seen so far is that the samsung app store says it needs a sim card to be able to run.
I'm gonna try rooting it now.
Update:
Can't get into Recovery Mode

So you went straight from a stock tab, flashed this with Odin and now have tochwiz working properly?
I have a Droid Charge, so I'm familiar with Odin, but how do you enter download mode on the tab?
Thanks

Hold down power + Vol Up until you see the 2 options for 'Recover' and 'Download'.
Use 'Vol Up' to select an option
Use 'Vol Down' to enable it
This no longer is available after I flashed the Touchwiz Tar file via ODIN though so if anyone has found a button combo for recovery for it, please let me know.
Thanks.

It still works, but the problem is that you have like half a second to release the buttons before the tab reboots again. I am able to get successfully into recovery if i act quick.
In other news! The root from recovery was successful, This version is rootable by simply flashing the root zip file from the stock recovery.
I have retail version with unlocked bootloader from BB and installed customized recovery (clockworkmod) then connected to my pc with odin3 running. You have to have the custom recovery and i had it when i rooted and unrooted my device.
PS
This version is i think for the 3g model because it has extra settings that is unusable like tethering. The overall experience is very nice and has some very nice functionalities. The UI is very intuitive and has some very poweful apps preinstalled. I am looking forward to the official touchwiz ui and one of the added functionalities i love is the ablity to change the display modes or screen color calibration rendering more natural colors for my photography portfolio. The picture editor is very robust and hopefully the stylus in the works will work like the htc flyer stylus for use their own memo pad.

You just have to install the customized recovery by following the instructions of how to root the device. Just follow until you are able to install the custom recovery then use odin to get touchwiz ux

I just tried pershoots kernal, and please note that it does not work, and flashing the tool pack does not fix it. The only way i could find to fix it was to install the tar file from odin again.

Tutorial: how to unbrick your phone

Bricked my phone after trying out CM7 and then flashing Stock ROM via KDZ_FW_UPD without wiping all data.
Found a way how to fix my problem. This should work for almost all bricked phones.
Remember, this will wipe ALL DATA from your phone. I'm not responsible if something happens with your P970. Do at your own risk.
You will need:
Drivers for P970;
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
UpTestEX_mod2_marwin
WindowsEnablerv1.1
Download
Start from here if it's first time (no drivers installed, etc):
1) Install all drivers (from Drivers folder);
2) Disable LGE Virtual Modem (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager);

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Start from here if drivers already installed:
3) Run msxml.msi (in KDZ_FW_UPD folder);
4) Delete mfc42.dll (from KDZ_FW_UPD folder);
5) Run WindowsEnabler.exe and set it to ON;
6) Run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe;
7) Set your phone to S/W Upgrade mode (take out battery, while pressing Volume Up, plug USB cable).
1) Select KDZ file (download from here);
2) Click "CSE web upgrade test", then "Upgrade Start".
Chose your language and wait till phone reboots. It will take some time and could look like nothing is going on. If you see something similar to this (on your phone) for a moment, everything went OK.
maaaaaaaaaaaaan em trying it right now.....let u know as soon as i see some results
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------
"YES" it really works!!!
Thanks a billion times man! You saved my life
(for everyone else who is trying to follow this TUT...when i was updating it was stuck at 4% and showed a lot of errors in the log below...but i guess that didnt matter and now it works...that screen at the end is really must...and i had to force close the update tool after my phone was working)
I think this is solution for ALL BRICKED P970s that can enter into S/W Upgrade mode!!!
Very important is that this method do HARD RESET after flashing firmware so it could UNBRICK ALL of our phones.
Can anyone with bricked phone (not CM7 brick) can test it?
I a little bit edited tutorial and, yeah, it could help for all bricked phones. We just need someone who could test it out.
I linked it at RC's G+ and RootzWiki, in response to those bricking their OB's in regards with CM7. Hope they could give us feedbacks.

cool, finally a method that can do "hard reset" without a running system or a recovery installed !!
LG would have implement the hard reset in his Recovery in the B2CAppSetup ! it would avoid lots of send back to LG customer service !!
Thanks

No, LG would have implement the recovery key combination... It would be remedy for almost all P970 bricks...
Does anybody knows another phone with Android without hardware key combination for recovery?
Is it even possible that hardware key combination (changing bootloader) will be possible to add-on by official LG firmware update? Maybe they should do this with official 2.3 upgrade, but it is probably only dream...
PS. I forgot to thanx, ziiljuks, you're the man!
yes, recovery combination key would be better ^^
ps: I think x8 doesn't have it either
quote from rootzwiki: "adb.exe reboot recovery saved my life!!!!"
i guess we can boot into recovery with this command. i didn't know that adb environment can run with bootloop or volume up screen... can anybody confirm this?

No, it can't. You need to boot to OS and have enabled Debugging to get ADB working.
I was trying it many times when I bricked my phone. Look HERE.
It seems very good work! But i just bought my phone, i have not fllash my rom yet, since i am afraid that flashing will damage my warranty forever. Could shut body tell
Me whether there is ANY means to recover the warranty........

Nope. Tried that when I bricked my phone couple of weeks ago.
EDIT:
Tested it 5 mins. ago with CS_EMERGENCY in KDZU, and no. No hard resetting.
hmm I should test this tool again. I previously gave up that because it has never worked, until I know those kdz files must keep their name
i dont get the "CSE web upgrade test" button in the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin window.
any ideas?
tried normal upgrade but dosnt make the factory reset and keep geting boot loop.
yes another victim of CM/ > Stock
ok found it. in the type has to be in CDMA not 3GQCT
Hello,man.
There's some problems in using this method.
A guy does the upgrade,and the phone is stuck at 4% too. But unlike the situation u've met, there's not even a error in the log. Then , he has to switch off the USB(means disconnect the phone and the PC. sorry, my English is... - -#). I wanna know how much time does the upgrading process takes. Thanks.
Meanwhile ,there's another guy. He did the same thing .And the phone reboots finally. But what confuses me is that he didn't get the picture on the screen. Could you explain , thanks in my heart!
And thanks ziiljuks very much!
maybe a corrupted kdz file, try to re-download another.

Download THIS package. It has all the files in one folder. Unpack it to C:\ You should get C:\P970_unbrick\*files here*
Install msxml.msi, then run Windows Enabler.exe and click on its icon in the taskbar. Icon will change and will show "ON". Then run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe and do the rest of the job.

When i followed this tut my update process was stuck at 4% and actually it "didn't" flash the stock rom...(although it was already flash before my the KDZU tool) this tool simply after giving alot of errors in the log file did a hard reset (that last screen---which actually does the magic by formatting the data partition). After that screen my phone restarted and BINGO i was at the setup wizard! then i closed the tool bcz it was stuck but my phone was working

Question about unbricking

I was trying to instal CM rom on Galaxy S using clockworkrecovery. Unfortunately, after installation and reboot, the phone gets stuck on CyanogenMod boot screen, then reboots again.
I understand I will need to get USB jig (no key combination, or usb cable trick worked).
Does that mean I will lose all my data on the internal SD card, like photos and TitanumBackup files?

You probably didn't install the CM exactly as described in the guide (opening post) for your device. Usually, it requires full wipe: wipe data/factory reset, wiping cache and wiping dalvik cache (in CWM recovery under "advanced"). Right after that you can install the CM zip, and after tge CM you should also install gapps for that CM version as apps for another android version won't be compatible. As you didn't write which CM you flash, I can not tell you which gapps do you need. If you can reach your CWM recovery now, just do as described and you will obtain the CM system.
You shouldn't lose your photos that way. If you want to install CM10.2 build, wait for next nightly as the nightlies between 24 and 26 Aug could format the internal SD, that is now sold and will be OK in the nightly build 27th and onwards.
After booting in your new CM system don't ever try to restore apps made with Titanium backup in another ROMs. It isn't compatible anymore with the CM. Install the apps simply again downloading them from play store.
If I could get into recovery mode, or even download mode, I wouldn't need USB jig (and I am still not even sure that will help).
The rom I was installing was cm-9.1.0-galaxysmtd.zip
I formatted system, boot, and I think everything else except for the sdcard.
Now the phone is stuck on CyanogenMod logo, which appears just after Galaxy S logo. Then it waits 10 seconds, and reboots again.
Is the phone and/or data on the sdcard gone?

It is impossible to enter recovery or download mode. Maybe USB Jig will let me enter download mode.
The question is - when I recover the phone using Odin in download mode (I think I need to select 'repartitioning' option?), will it erase internal sdcard?

Try this:
remove the battery
keep power button pressed for about 30sec without battery
use 3-button combo for recovery mode and insert battery again while all three buttons are pressed (acrobatic thing)
Is recovery mode accessible again?
BTW you will not lose your data (photos) unless you format SD card. Let us see how to unbrick your device now as first. If you didn't backup your data, you must live with possible loss if it happens.

OK, then buy a jig for i9000 on eBay (it costs less than $2) and connect it according to the manual (I think the device must be turned off and after connecting it, you must wait for about 10sec until the download mode appears)
One important detail, but important nevertheless: is there still some juice in your battery? You must be sure of that, because maybe only battery is empty. Try to charge it by some friend who has the same telephone.
Let know later whats's up. Just have some patience now, mate.

Your main concern seems to be with regards to data, now it all depends on which data, for instance flashing with or without partitioning, will only erase/change the Android folder on your SD card, so if your concern is with regards to app data, game data , sms, contacts, call log etc that will be gone by flashing.
Your camera images, music, video will not be touched and whatever other folders in your SD card will remain as is, if you had earlier CWM backup etc will be intact.
If you had debugging ON, and IF your phone can still power ON, you should try ADB push/pull to recover whatever you want first before flashing. meaning you can recover sms, phone contacts etc. so try powering ON your phone and connecting USB cable to PC while Odin3 is running on your PC. IF Odion3 detects, than you can try ADB method.

I think it is really the best you can do to try it with the jig now.
So you should get your device into the download mode. After that, we can say you're on safe side again. I would save now battery juice and wait until the jig is there.... (or make one yourself, it's easy and there are video tutorials how to do it)

[Q] N7000 bricked?

Hello, peeps!
So I was when starting an application, my phone doesn't respond. Tried the power button and it didn't work so I removed the battery and placed it back in.
Here's when my nightmare starts. My phone is stuck at the "GT-N7000" screen, and I cannot proceed further. I'm unable to start Recovery Mode (Vol Up + Power + Home), and only Download Mode works.
However, I tried flashing stock roms, Odin showed no progress even after almost 2 hours.
What seems to be the issue? Is it a hard brick?
Questions should be in the Q&A section.
Is odin able to detect the phone.. ( the port square in odin turns yellow/blue?).
check if there are any Kies processes running in the task manager.. kill them, restart odin and restart phone in download mode and try again.

stuck at the NAND Write part, and the progress bar shows no progress at all (the green bar thing). Could this mean hard brick?
do you have warranty? If yes, take it to Samsung and tell them to rectify it. If no warranty then, you will need to get into recovery may be by flashing a kernel using odin.

Nope, no longer in warranty..Can I have a link to the kernel file?
Thank you so much!
Before you go about this.. try a reboot PC, reboot download mode phone. try a original USB cable and main USB port of pc and flash again,
If above still stops at NAND
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
look for a tar.md5 file which is odin flashable. If you remember the build number of you phone, then pick that else get any JB kernel and flash using odin. check if odin gives a pass.

Sorry for double posting, here's the screenshot..
you dont need to select it everywhere... just the PDA ONLY.
1. download http://d-h.st/FVh.. this is a PIT file.. select it in the PIT partition. Check it and also repartition.
2. select the kernel file in the PDA..
3. press start... (you will need to reboot into download mode every time to start flashing. so remove the battery.. reboot into download mode.. (vol down+home+power)... after you get the screen volume up to continue.. once the screen shows DOWNLOADING, then connect to pc .. open odin
Thanks again!
How long does it normally take for the entire process to complete? The progress bar of "Set Partition" isn't moving at all
There seems to be some issue with the USB Port or Cable or PC.. you need to check ...a full flash of rom takes about 5-10 mins.
use only the back usb port, don't use the front or extension usb ports, they often throw up problems.. good luck
elprix and
I tried everything suggested, but the progress bar doesn't even move
What are the symptoms of hard brick btw?
EDIT : I tried with Odin3 V3.09, and it is stated Re-Partition failed.
EDIT2 : Tried multiple files, progress bar not moving at all.
It don't write to NAND. But it still is able to set partition. Have you tried a different pc? Uninstall Kies completely and then again install Samsung usb drivers.

Hi everyone!
I experience a similar problem as the original poster! Yesterday my phone was fine, but then it rebooted and got stuck. Now I can only get in to "Download mode". There it says:
Odin Mode
Product Name: GT-N7000
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung Official
I've had it running Paranoid Android successfully for months and then this happened! So where do I go from here,,,? I have Odin downloaded, drivers installed, so what should I try to flash and in what order?
I would be thankful for any help - feel a bit handicapped without a phone!
