Re: [HOWTO][TAR] THE ODIN THREAD :: Return to stock/Fix soft-bric

The main screen of Odin shows “Option” followed by several items. Question? When do you check the option “ F. Reset Time” and what does it mean? I’d like to root my phone but there are two sets of instructions. In one of the them the option F Reset Time is checked and in the other is not. A short description of what these option mean will by appreciated.

Omg you don't know how grateful i am to have found this website, i had been trying to fix my phone for over 4 hours and was at the point where i thought i had no other choice but to say goodbye to my phone when i found this website. I'm literally shaking because something finally worked! Thank you so much.

Re: [HOWTO][TAR] THE ODIN THREAD :: Return to stock/Fix soft-bric

can I use this rom to return to stock my rooted device? to get rid of the root and is this the official stock rom? can I still use my warranty after flashing it?

Theoretically, yes to all of those questions.

Thanks! The 2.3.6 over the air update bricked my mom's phone and AT&T had no idea what was wrong with it. This fixed it

Is there a reason why this file doesn't have the original baseband/modem included?

By running this file you are really not returning to stock if it doesn't include the original modem file.

For example, I installed the 4.04 leak and thought it was too laggy and the modem was terrible. So I wanted to go back to stock and just get the 2.3.6 OTA, but I can't because this firmware didn't return me back to the original baseband. Now I am stuck with 2.3.5 and the terrible baseband from 4.0.4 and can't do the 2.3.6 OTA cause it bombs out being as I don't have the original baseband.

Dont get me wrong, I appreciate greatly this file, included in this thread, it just doesn't make sense not including the modem.bin file.

I'm kinda stuck now unless I reinstall cwm and manually reinstall the modem. I was hoping I wouldn't have to re root and do it all manually.

are you sure about this? i'm asking because as far as i remember I was able to do the 2.3.6 OTA on my previous skyrocket after this firmware before i sent it back to ATT. but for some reason on my current phone i can't do that anymore. it downloads just fine but keeps failing at 25% at the white screen with the progress bar. it doesn't give me any reason why though.. just says "update is failed" and then the phone reboots.. so what would be the correct baseband for 2.3.5 then?

This happened once to me, too. It's supposed to restore the baseband, but for whatever reason that's not always the case. I did a darkside superwipe, removed the battery, and odin'ed again. I don't remember, but I migh've also flashed the KJ2 radio before the superwipe.

Also, the 2.3.6 OTA might not work even if you were completely stock. There have been plenty of people who were completely stock that weren't able to update (myself included).

I think you might find more help in the Galaxy Note forum. Trying to flash anything for the Skyrocket will turn your phone into a brick.
But that said, if you can get into recovery why not just wipe everything and flash your rom again?
