Device: SGH-T959V Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Carrier: T-Mobile (USA)
Version: Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread
How to update Samsung Galaxy S 4G using the T959VUVKI1 via Odin.
This is for advance users only, everyone can still upgrade for the official OTA update release.
1) Download the stock ROM .tar file.
2) Extract the .tar file you just downloaded, the password is samfirmware.com. It will become .tar.md5 file extension then.
3) Start Odin downloader
4) Click "PDA" and load the .tar.md5 file you just extracted into it.
DO NOT SET ANY OPTIONS IN ODIN
5) Turn off the Galaxy S 4G then set the device into download mode - Hold Vol+Up & Vol+Down button, then plug it in to the PC and Odin will recognize it.
6) Once detected in Odin, hit Start and wait for your phone to flash, reboot, and load to a lockscreen
7) Turn your phone off and disconnect it from USB.
Perform factory reset to get rid of bootloops or auto-reboots.

ReplyDeleteUm, so I'm an amateur at this and would like some help. Could someone dumb this down for me? I'm used to doing it for my Droid 2, and now I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G for T-Mobile. As far as putting a custom ROM on my phone, where could I find an easy way to do this? Please help.
