[ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-D710 FI27 (FI27 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Root/Stock)

Credits
Thanks go to the following:
- sfhub for many hints on how to do this - I'm just trying to help fill in while he's away.
- sextape for FI27 leak
- rwilco12 for advice and hosting
- rainmotorsports, dev-host for hosting
- Forum Members for their support and hopefully feedback on these builds!
Make sure you give them any thanks for this build - they did far more than I on this! :highfive:

You may have heard... the zerglings fought a noble battle against the samdroids and held their own for many battles, but were finally defeated on the EL13 battleground. Starting with EL13 the zergrush exploit is plugged. Do not fear, as the zerglings have enlisted their old ally Odin to fight the next battle for them.

This is a match of sextape's FI27 leak with only root added.
This means it should behave completely as if it is stock or released by either OTA/Kies.

Since most people are familiar with sfhub's format I'm going to include it here.
Again thank him for the LARGE amounts of time that he put into these posts.

ICS Leak Notice
As mentioned before: It takes a lot of effort to not only get the leak but get these out to the masses.
Because of this not every RDF drop means a leak will follow.
This one was provided due to the OTA announcement.

ICS is very stable now and most changes are simple bug fixes.
We likely won't see any more leaks until JB builds start coming out.
A big thanks for all of the leaks we have seen and the info that we get even when one doesn't leak.

This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the ODIN flash count.

This does NOT have the issue with the USB jig being disabled.

There are two versions provided, a FULL Restore that resets your whole phone, similar to a factory restore, and a No Data Restore, which is the same, except it preserves your User Data. The NoData version is only suggested if you are upgrading or remaining at the same version.



Instructions - (No Video Yet)

0) Backup anything important and Disable any PINs
This process will restore you to factory software. All your Android data will be reset.
To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or dropbox.

Note #1: Please DISABLE any PIN code you may have created to protect your phone. As a security measure, after the flash, Android will ask you for your PIN, if you have one enabled. It is simpler to have no PIN active. If you forgot your PIN then, after the factory restore, just enter the wrong PIN a few times and it will warn you. Enter the wrong PIN again and it will reset the filesystem.

1) Install Samsung USB/Android drivers (if necessary) [USB/Android]

2) Download the FI27 One-Click self-extractor of choice
SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore.exe [Mirror1 (RESET user data) (md5: c4065bdea4ddb39e6b8d5084623210d8)

SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Nodata.exe [Mirror1 (PRESERVE user data - do NOT use if downgrading versions) (md5: 84ca9ce88751e268c4954c6a08a52fed)

SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Stock_Nodata.exe [Mirror1| (PRESERVE user data - do NOT use if downgrading versions) (md5: b886671b02dcd9743687070dcc619d19)

Mac/Linux - Install 7-zip, then use it to unpack the individual ODIN components in Reference Section B (below). If Heimdall fails flashing all 3 files together, try doing them individually. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows specific (steps 3, 4, 6).

Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6).

3) Extract the package
double-click on the self-extractor file, specify the directory to extract to (instructions assume C:\)

4) Start ODIN One-Click
Full: Double-click on SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore.exe in Odin-OC folder created.
NoData: Double-click on SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Nodata.exe in Odin-OC folder created.
Stock NoData: Double-click on SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Stock_Nodata.exe in Odin-OC folder created.

Note #1: On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.

5) Place phone in ODIN download mode

Method #1
Power down phone
Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode

Method #2
adb reboot download

Connect USB cable to PC if not already connected
ODIN should show yellow COM port in 2nd column

Note #2: If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the ODIN One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting ODIN One-Click.

6) Start ODIN flash process
Press [Start]

7) Complete - PASS!
When complete you should see a screen similar to what is shown at top of post
Phone will automatically reboot
Status should change to green PASS!

Boot process will be slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the 4G logo screen.

If you want CWM use Option D in the Auto Root Package to install FF18+CWM-agat-src (you are already rooted so Option A is not necessary). You will lose the FI25 kernel in the process.

If you need to clear NVRAM/Sprint data login info, perform a ##72786# reset from the Dialer and enter MSL.
Type getprop ril.MSL in adb shell or terminal to retrieve your MSL.

For NoData install:
- If you are getting random force closes, wipe cache/dalvik-cache
- If you have troubles with Android Market, clear data from
menu->applications->all->market->clear data
- If you have troubles booting into Android, perform factory reset in ICS using the ODIN OneClick Factory Reset tool. Do NOT perform factory resets using stock recovery or privacy->reset, at least until you read about the EMMC superbrick/lockup bug and understand what the trigger points are and what you are exposing yourself to.

You just need 7-Zip... which you can also get at www.7-zip.com if needed.

Isn't the 7-zip file a .exe file? I can't open that. (Sorry for all the questions).

[huck]

Is that what heimdall does? It opens .exe files on macs? Like I said I'm new to all this. TIA

Heimdall=Odin alternative for Windows and Linux and Mac. You just need any archiver.

I went from FF18 to this using NoData, and it worked perfectly except for: whenever I install anything from the Play store, the phone freezes once I click on the "Open" button that Google Play displays after an install. A minute later, the phone reboots, and then I can run the app normally.

I've tried wiping both caches with "FI27 repack 2 with AGAT tREC_v0.2.2," but it didn't help. I've also cleared data from not only Google Play Store but anything beginning with "Google Play."

Short of using Agat to reset to factory, do you have any ideas? I realize that would probably work, but it's more interesting to me to find the specific solution in case it happens again.

Can you dump a logcat and send by pm? Bet it's old data from one apo not playing nice...
