It may very well be posted in another thread (stock kernel as Odin3, that is) but it seems like quite a few people that use Odin3 can no longer receive OTA updates. Many of us are getting failures at 50% after using Odin3.

With the number of people getting bricked phones with the OTA why would anyone be crazy enough to do it? We've already had JH7 for weeks over here. When you Odin one click have you removed ClockworkMod or Voodoo folders from your root before attempting OTA? Odin won't touch anything that is on your internal sd. You should move those files to a safe place on either your external sd or your computer. I don't think anyone with fails has tried removing the items from their root before OTA. I did see a post somewhere that someone did and the OTA worked.
That's not true at all. Quite a few people flash Odin and IMMEDIATELY try the update, no modifacations from stock, only to have it fail. Myself included.

Well the OTA update JH7 is much different than the one leaked on samsungfirmwares. Prolly half the files have different md5 checksums, so there's a lot different.

Thats what I did. I did odin3 one click, then immediately downloaded the OTA update and it crashed at 50%.
Hopefully somebody will be able to get the OTA update and then make it into an update.zip that we can just flash via recovery. The OTA JH7 is much different from the leaked JH7 on samsungfirmwares.

Yeah for sure. GV has most of the gingerbread source kanged from CM7 anyway, with some visual tweaks as far as I have been able to see. With CWM3, you will be good to flash any G2 ROM that is available to us.

Yes,seems to be no problems there.
Come from CM7 Nightly,then I did a wipe data/factory reset.
Installed now CM 6.1.1 Froyo 2.2 ROM,works.
Did a nandroid backup,works.
Then tried to restore,works too
CWM 3.0.0.5 seems to work now with 2.2 ROMs too
i was on the 2.xxx recovery in rom manager and it prompted me to flash new recovery of 3.0.0.5. so I dont think its for people who already have 3.0.0.5
I had 3.0.0.5 already and yes it did promt me to update to 3.0.0.5 because proir to this everyones recovery in rom manager said 2.5.1.3 even if they were on 3.0.0.5, so this is for everyone.

Updated fine, just want to know do I have to partition my sd card

Morning all,
Is anyone running the Gbread 595 leak yet? I am thinking about trying it out this morning, as everything I read indicates it will be the launching point for what could be the official 596 release on the 13th.
Let me know if you have any observations on this.
Thanks,
Steve
I downloaded it yesterday, and am running liberty v.5 on top of it and I love it. It is really fast, and other than a few bugs with my contacts syncing up with facebook, I am having no problems.

Weird issue I am running into....
I upgraded to 588 with no problems from 340 Froyo. I used DroidX recovery to accomplish this. When I rebooted 588 I tried to go to 595. I tried using DroidX recovery but this did not allow me to boot into recovery...it only gave me a blank screen. When I got back to 588 I uninstalled DroidX recovery and then installed Droid2 recovery. I was then able to reboot into recovery and try to install 595. The install aborted saying it was looking for 3 arguments and got 4.
Any ideas? Which recovery should I be using thoughtout this?
Thanks,
Steve
Both recoveries (AFAIK) are the same clockwork recovery, it's just a different method of "bootstrapping" so that you can get into the recovery. Droid2 bootstrap works on gbread unless USB debugging is disabled, then droidx bootstrap works.
Sounds like you got a bad file.
Just redownload the file and it should work
Yes the one I downloaded yesterday was bad, and a new one was uploaded. I just downloaded the new one and am going to try again to move back up to 595. Once that happens I am hanging on til the 13th.
I would assume once this official update comes out then VZW will no longer support the DX with official updates. We really need to get Moto to unlock the bootloader for us, so we can continue to develop for the DX.
Steve
I have made it successfully to 595. I am having a problem with Gingerbreak 1.2, so I am betting there is something in 595 that doesnt allow it to root.

P3Droid released three different versions of .595: full stock, rooted and odexed, and rooted and deodexed.
You can try flashing one of the rooted .595 releases.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yes it looks like the rooted ones will accept Gingerbreak. I may go back to .591 and hold there until the official OTA version comes out.
You shouldn't need Gingerbreak on the rooted ones, as they are already rooted.

Curious, I'm running .573 now, if I flashed the latest rooted & deoxed, do I really have to sbf back to Froyo before hand like I've read in other places? OR can I just flash over it and roll on?
You only need to flash back if you don't have root, I believe.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Not having luck.
I tried to install, initially from my rooted deoxed stock .340 to rooted deoxed .595, first got a corrupted file report....would not upgrade.
Next got boot loop (repeating M), so SBF back to stock 340...Rooted and tried again with the same file and got a very unstable phone, reboots etc.
The only thing I can think of is that the phone was stock rooted but not deoxed, so when I tried loading the deoxed version it didn't like it? no idea.
I did a wipe before each load but can't seem to get it to work on my phone. My phone is very new.
SBF'd back to stock unrooted and I'll leave it like that to see if I can get the update from VZW.
I believe you have to start at .588 (or .573) then flash .591 over it, then flash .595 over it.

Not completely accurate.. I went from .588, to .595 without any adverse effects. Phone is a bit snappier than before too, app drawer scrolls more fluidly, etc.

I would like to thank icezar1 for his help with this project. I could not have done this without him.
I decided to start this thread because I saw several roms saying "flash back to stock Gingerbread", but they usually involved bootloaders, increasing your chance of bricking your phone. I searched and the closest thing I found to a safer way was a group of stock I9000 roms, but they were deodexed and zip aligned. Since we are using Captivates, I really wanted something designed for our phones, so I made this.
This is stock UCKF1, without bootloaders or a pit. I repackaged the rom (minus bootloaders/pit) into 1 file. The original firmware was downloaded from samfirmware.com. Also, I have tested this on my (only) phone, and it works.
The 3 file version was also downloaded from samfirmware.com. It is the exact same as stock, but it doesn't have bootloaders or a pit. I also tested this package on my (only) phone, and it works.
You will need 7zip to unpack the file. If you need 7zip, you can get it here.
If you haven't already upgraded to the new I897 Gingerbread bootloaders, you can get those >>HERE<<.
Stock UCKF1 No Bootloaders
Odin 3 File No Bootloaders
In the past, some phones have not responded well to 1 click flashes. If your phone is one of those, please don't use this. Use the 3 File version for Odin 1.8x.
Please make sure that your usb cable is plugged into a port in the back of the computer (#1 port on a laptop).
You will lose root by flashing this.
You will lose CWM by flashing this.
This is a wipe package, so don't forget to backup.
Instructions
0 Optional Reboot computer before beginning
0 Optional Convert to rfs (if on ext4)
0 Optional Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, clear Voltage Setting(if overclocked/undervolted), do a factory reset.

Open One click or Odin 1.81
**place files in corresponding slots for odin 3 file only**
Put phone into DL mode
Check to see Odin recognizes phone (you will see the yellow box)

I don't think there is a deodex/zipaligned KF1 out there yet. Some of the other folks in the stock thread (last i heard) were having problems with the deodexing. I really did this just as a flash to stock method before flashing a rom.

This is also a one click, but it doesn't have bootloaders (boot.bin and sbl.bin). Since bootloaders will cause a permanent brick, i thought it was kinda foolish to flash them just to return to stock before flashing a rom.

No, you wouldn't brick, unless something interrupts the bootloader flashing process.
The whole point of this 1-click with no bootloaders is to be able to flash to stock without running the risk of bricking your phone from a bad flash. There is no way to truly brick your phone with this 1-click since the bootloaders are never touched.
With that said, you should only use this 1-click if you have already flashed the KF1 bootloaders at least once before.
ok thanks i didnt think it would brick

Thanks. I've been thinking about doing a 3 file one for odin, too. Some people have phones that don't like one clicks.
And some of us prefer to use heimdall, so 3 file would be great.
So I sold my iPhone for some extra money and have come back to my Nexus S. It was still on 2.3.4 and I wanted to upgrade to ICS. Keep in mind that it was untouched at the time, stock rom, locked boot loader.
I heard that the official OTA ICS update for the I9020T worked for the I9020A except that I would have to flash a new radio.
Long story short, it didn't work and now when I try to flash the stock 2.3.4 rom, I get stuck at the Google logo when I reboot. My phone still has an unlocked boot loader and CWM.
Any ideas? Also I am on a Mac but do have access to a Windows computer.
Who ever told you that is a idiot.
Flashing roms for a different phone model is a very bad idea.
You just need to flash a stock rom for the i9020A as long as you can get into cwm.
Check around the forums, you will find them

Why wouldn't you flash 2.3.6? You need to flash the full rom. You do the same for ICS. Install CWM, wipe data, flash the full rom. The only difference is for ICS is you flash the radio afterwards.
Thanks guys. Got it working.
So now I'm running on I9020T's official ICS with the AT&T radio. Working great.
