custom rom via odin? - Vibrant General

Is there a possibility to flash a custom rom such as the bionix or axura or nero through odin?
I used odin several times to restore to complete stock and I feel comfortable using it, so this would be really good.
If there is such an option can you please point me to the right thred or the download locations.
Thank you!

You may be able to get one of the DEV to make you a .tar for one of them..I don't believe there is though..

[Q] Problem!!

Hey noob question here. I flashed the viper rom and I don't like it . How do I unflash it, as in make things back to normal.
The obvious answer would be use your backup if you made one. If not you can flash a different rom. If you decide to flash a 2.1 rom you'll need to flash a 2.1 kernel as well. If you want to go back to stock I would just odin back to stock. Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
except use the file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138
I would consider something like the acs dk17 because it's completely stable and it is essentially the same as a 2.1 stock rom but it has the capabilities of 2.2. Going back to 2.1 would (to me) be the same as using a stock dk17 rom like acs, which I'm using right now and loving. Two cents.
odin
Is there only one type of odin because the link you gave me for restoring had a broken odin download link. I see another odin download that's for the acs dk17 and was wondering if it'll be the same.
Yeah you can use the new odin. If for some reason that fails pm me and I'll give you the old version of odin.

changing back to stock kernel

How do I get back to the stock kernel? I've used odin before to go back to sstock rom but I have to take my phone in to sprint repair and wondering how I get too stock kernel. Does flashing the di18 tar file also flash the new stock kernel or do I need to flash jjust the kernal in odin? Thanks
It should have the stock kernel in the tar file. At least the file I have has it. I can't remember where in this forum I found it. If you want I can email it to you.
Here I just figured out how to do this lol.

No problem hope it works for ya.

[Q] Help md5 zip dl09 modem rom themes

OK so i was reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908451
and this might be a newb question: but how do i run this .zip with odin. He included some md5 code, but what do i do?
Also jsut checking, but this is the dl09 modem right and after flashing this, will i be able to install rom such as DL09 super clean 0.4 on it and after i install that rom, how do i know which themes work on that rom?
Thanks so much, trying to come out of newbhood, into haxorhood
PS Couldnt replly to thread so posting it here
If you don't know how to use it, you need to read more stuff about flashing roms etc, as there are instructions in several threads on how to flash files with Odin. If you can't figure out how to update, it is more likely that you'll end up bricking your phone than flashing it properly. In the end, if you can figure out how to flash it yourself, you'll learn invaluable information that could save you from future headaches or get you out of a jam.
Only odin .tar files there should only be one for dl09. the kernal and radio get flashed thru cwm hope this helps.

By the way there really isnt any themes for dl09. You can use dj05 themes if you flash theme fix for dl09 directly after flashing the dj05 theme.

THnks for all your help, but like i said im a noob i just had to run zip file from CWM recovery my bro showed, he is a beast at all this, hopefully no more question, i guess you can close this thread

Remove CM7.1

Searched the entire XDA forum and couldn't find a thread like this one (at least one that explains what i want to accomplish). Let's cut to the chase...
CyanogenMod7.1 - i've got it and i used it and i don't like it (don't ask me why, maybe i used touchwiz for too long so i got accustomed to it ), so i want my original kernel and ROM back... And I know exactly which ones to use , got them downloaded right here. The thing is - I'm not sure how to do it. Should i use clockworkmod recovery and flash it? Should i use RomManager? Should i use Odin? Any help from someone who has done would be appreciated.
And also , one more question... Somewhere i found a comment by a guy that says that if i was to flash back original ROM and kernel i would still be stuck with a custom recovery. Can anyone explain that too ?
If by ANY chance a thread like this exists I'm sorry i opened a new one ( I really did search for a long time ). Cheers everyone

Hey, im pretty sure your answer has been answered many times before in guides how to flash ROMs.
You haven't stated what ROM you were on previous so i will assume that it was stock.
if you are flashing a full stock ROM use Odin, look at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
It has a full guide to which files go where to get back to your stock rom and kernal.
ps. the comment you mentioned, that person might have been referring to a custom ROM, if you chose to flash a custom rom based on stock then you would stay with a custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply, I know about intratech's thread , that's where i downloaded my stock from. The thing is I wasn't sure which way to do it. I read more about recovery last night and i found out that on sgsII it is linked to the rom, so basically when i flash a stock rom and a stock kernel using odin i would get the normal - default recovery partition? Should I wipe data/cache before flashing back the stock ?

If you downloaded from Intratechs post you will get a stock rom with a stock kernel, this will give you a default recovery. All of the downloads there are 100% samsung so there wont be anything modded or changed.
You wont have to wipe data/cache before you do it as when flashing via odin you will be putting your phone in to download mode and odin will do the rest.
Just make sure to read the guide in Intratechs thread to the letter.
My advise to you for the future is to read up completly before flashing something just so you arent stuck with something you dont like on your phone.

Flashed it and all is fine now... Altough i did get an infinite boot loop so i had to wipe data/cache anyway for the phone to boot properly... So I guess it wouldn't hurt to do it before flashing stock... Btw i knew what i was flashing , i wanted to try it out... Ty for the reply

Branded Galaxy Y?

Hi to everyone. I'm sorry, probably this question has been asked lots of times, but I'm not expert in flashing devices, roms, etc.
I've a Branded Galaxy Y which code is GT-S5369 (instead of 5360), and I would like to know: Are the firmwares in this forum compatible also with my phone? And do I have to do any specific procedure in order to install a Custom ROM, or does it work in the same way of non-branded ones? That's the ROM I want to install: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757125&page=264 .
Thank you :fingers-crossed:
you can only try it - unless someone has that device you probably wont get an answer
take note of your stock rom baseband in case you need to flash stock rom via odin
I had a look and your stock rom is probably S5369BULL1 or something like that - check about phone in phone settings
you can download that stock rom firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares but you will need to split it with the splitter tool to be able to flash it via odin
the link to the splitter tool is on dokys thread at the top of the dev section for odin firmwares

Thank you for the reply. My stock rom is the one you said, I've downloaded it from sammobile I've read in other websites that it is necessary to de-brand the phone installing the GT-S5360 stock rom XXKL3; is it actually the best way to do it? Sorry for the questions but I want to be sure of what I'm doing.

Debrand basically means to remove all bloat apps that providers bundle with the phone that are really of no use
I use xxlk3 as it's one of the latest UK firmware
Make sure you make a nandroid backup in cwm before you flash anything - you can then restore your phone back to it's previous state if necessary by restoring the backup in cwm

Well, as I understood, debrand is not an important thing for installing Custom ROMs.
Anyway, I succeeded to install the Evo-X 4.2.0 rom, just unlocking the root, putting the file into the SD and applying it via CWM. Nothing simpler than that. Thank you for the kindness, there was not any problem with it

Custom Roms should be pre-rooted no need to root again unless you have problems
Enjoy
I think they are compatible
