UNBRICK SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 4G
I'd like to post my steps that i took to unbrick my Samsung exhibit 4G when i being stupid and excited about rooting it flashed CWM using ROM manager for one of the nexus 4g version and rebooted device and got soft brick screen. Hope its helps some of you guys out like it did for me.

Requirements:
-ODIN
-TMO_T759_ADB_Tether_Drivers
-IZark
-Attached file "Samsung_Exhibit_Stock_Recovery_2.3.3"
-Soft bricked Samsung Exhibit 4G

Guide:
Step 1: Download stock kernel zip "Samsung_Exhibit_Stock_Recovery_2.3.3" from below these steps.

Step 2: Download program IZark (i used version 4.1.6) and install program to computer. (Search Google for program download)

Step 3. Open IZark program then open file "Samsung_Exhibit_Stock_Recovery_2.3.3"

Step 4. click "tools" then click "convert archive" then change the output file location and file name looks like this
(Documents\location on computer\zImage.tar)
*Ensure the name of the file will be "zImage.tar"

Step 5. Make sure the output type is TAR (.tar) and then press OK
i left "integrity" check "on"

Step 6. Put device in download mode by powering device off, then press and hold volume + and - press and then plug into computer
*ODIN should detect the device*

Step 7. Using odin flashed new zImage.tar file using PDA button

Step 8. Odin will complete and then reboot your device into stock recovery then choose reboot system now and device will HOPEFULLY reboot succesfully.

Lazy User's: Wanna skip the steps and try my zImage file, Go for it! Im attaching my "zImage.tar" file for those whom just wanna flash it through ODIN and hopefully it works. But if not try the follow steps above.

***i am not responsable for any of the files or most of the steps. Just followed a conversation with some other XDA members and gathered the steps together to make them in easy to read thread***
Much love and cred to these following XDA members: clay21, rhynokilla, and more just cant remember.

No, we do not.

We need a Exhibit/Exhibit II forum.

This is the wrong forum... But this is a good starting point, imho, for exhibit 4g owners to get a chance to start their own forum.

If you own an exhibit 4g, report DeathW1sh's OP, in the drop-down select move/maintenance and in the textbox request for an exhibit 4g forum.
EDIT: Actually, I noticed that you guys have a forum request thread as well: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190716
I would just do both.

Ya got to start somewhere... Right?

Keep up the good work, hopefully you guys get a forum of your own.

Yeah well since not having our own forum, had to post somewhere. I agree though i should have posted it somewhere else but thought i'd get it up for the people who are in need like i was with a soft bricked Exhibit. Hopefully we'll get a forum soon and i can get the thread moved to it.

Yeah Exhibit owners we need to do this so we can get a forum. my bad Galaxy S 4G owners for posting it in the wrong spot.

Good work bro...this was definitely needed because until we get a recovery and roms there is going to be a lot of Exhibit users experimenting and bricking there phones.

You just have to convert the achieve to a tar file. Doesn't matter where you save it really. Its could be your desktop, documents, etc.

hi ,i have samsung galaxy exibit 4g with t mobile ,it is my first try to root a phone with odin and i think i got to "soft brick"-all i have when i turn my phone on is vibration and black screen.could u please help me please

jza802k · Jun 28, 2013

Tried this method and now my phone is stuck at the "Firmware upgrade fail!" screen. Odin still detects the device is connected but when trying to reflash the stock recovery through PDA, Odin 3.07 is stuck at NAND Write Start!!. Previous versions shows that the operation failed. Is there any way to get past this? I tried using Odin version 1.83, 1.85, 3.04, 3.06 and 3.07.

Edit: Got it working with your version of the zImage.tar...now will try to root!! Thanks!!
