This means that my phone will return to stock Ice Cream Sandwich, correct?

Hello guys,

My phone was stuck on screen with samsung after odin. I took the battery out and restarted in recovery mode, then i chose the wipe data/factory reset option. I was wondering how long does it take for this option? My phone has been stuck on the screen with Android logo with spinning shapes for a while. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Try the factory reset again. If it still doesn't start, re download the tar file and flash in Odin again.

Thanks, I took the battery out and did system reboot from the recovery mode.

There is a program called Hiemdall for Mac that replaces Odin on a mac computer. I really don't know how it is used or if the same files are used. I made a how to root guide on the xda at&t forum. One of the users there was able to use my guide using hiemdall. I will link his post below. Perhaps it will help. You could also pm him for more information.

Hey is it possible to reset the flash counter without having a rooted phone? I upgraded to Jelly Bean through AT&T but forgot to reset the flash counter before I did it. Or is my only option to root my phone then reset my flash counter then return to stock?

No. Triangle away requires you to be rooted.

Link for software not working. Odin works, but not the other. My phone is stuck on the downloading screen, what do I do?

Is auto reset checked? The link is working fine for me. Try again.

If the progress block in the upper left corner shows reset, you can unplug the phone from the computer, remove and replace the battery and restart the phone. if it gets hung on the Samsung screen. turn off the phone (remove and reinstall the battery) boot into recovery and perform a factory reset.

I tried the link again, keeps telling me that the webpage cannot be found.

You are talking about this link?

Ok now I'm getting the same error. I will try and get it fixed from here at work. I may be able to provide a link to samsung updates. But it think they are 7 zip files. So you will need to download 7 zip to extract it. Give me a bit and I will update this post....

Try the link below... It is a temporary fix until I can get home and figure out what is happening to my file host service. It is probably an issue with media fire.

Only way to fix a lost imei if you don't have a backup is through a jtag. Pm is on the way. I believe you will stay in factory mode until you restore the imei.

Any one downloaded the file lately? I am trying for almost an hour but couldn't download.

[EDIT] Got it now. It took a while to start.

I don't know what is wrong with it but yes. I'm having the same issue and probably won't be able to get to it until tomorrow. In the time being you can use the following link. However, this link is a zipped file and you will have to extract it before flashing it in Odin.

**edack** · 01-15-2013, 01:03 PM

Thanks, I had a bad ROM download and just wanted to start "clean". good job. One side effect for me was that I went from ICS to JB.

redownload the file for the md5 error. Or try the link in post #45. If you use the link in post 45 it will have to be extractec.
