Root Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G & Install ClockworkMod Recovery [How To]
The Blaze 4G from T-Mobile gets rooted! Released in January 2012, so let’s just say it was about time. Thanks to the efforts of XDA-Developers forum member k0nane you can now root your device in no time at all through ODIN (more on that later) as is customary with most Samsung Android devices, but that’s not all. Renowned developer shabbypenguin has also managed to make the famous ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 available for the Blaze 4G as well, paving the way for users to flash custom ROMs and and kernels that will soon be made available. So if you had been using the Blaze 4G for a while now and had lost all hope concerning root access, you have it now!
Both rooting, and installation of ClockworkMod recovery will be relying on flashing files via ODIN . So no more talk, let’s get our hands dirty and get on with some good old rooting.

my phone doesn’t pass from the Loading Screen… what happened, or what can I do? i did the process with odin 1.85
Your lame article bricked my phone. I am not a noob who is crying here by the way.
You put a wrong link to the Odin which actually brings to the another pit file. And so I had to search and download it myself. Only later I found that I had to download 1.85 version of Odin made by k0nane instead of 3-rd one.
And ALL other I did in the proper way (and by the way your instruction SUCKS. It says to make sure that only 1 box is checked and then pick a pit file while anytime you pick pit the box “repartition” is checking in which I found intime). Brand new phone…. 1 mistake…. does not want to recover.
