Help, Can't flash Sbl.bin - Galaxy S I9000 General

Well, just like the thread title says, i can't flash Sbl.bin neither from Odin nor Heimdall. With Odin it just hangs in Sbl.bin and Heimdall fails after a couple of minutes waiting. Trying to flash it with Heimdall in verbose mode gives an "Error -7". Can someone help me? I'm trying to flash the new bootloaders included with JVK to solve the problem with the screen.
My phone is a Galaxy S I9000T
Thanks in advance.

Same problem here, except that I'm able in theory to flash with Heimdall. However, the result is like I hadn't flashed bootloaders (screen corruption, loss of recovery mode), this only happens with rom XXJVK.
My I9000T (from Telhell) actually runs XWJS8 but with modem TDOJP1 for unknown reason as I don't mix components intentionally.

Try flashing JPU JV1 or any other firmware with the bootloaders and see if you are facing the same issue.

Have you tried flashing the 3 files from Samfirmware?
I tried with the 3 files posted here on XDA and they would never flash.
It just hung... I had to pull the phone because no progress happening. Got the Phone to PC error screen. Luckily was able to force it into download mode again with the three button sequence. Took over a minute of holding the combo to get it there.
So yeah... Just try the 3 sbl files from Samfirmware and they should flash without a hitch.

Flashing bootloaders on their own is a bad idea. Just reflash the whole package.

Hello again,
I can't reflash the whole package because it hangs every time it tries to write the Sbl.bin file. I'm trying to flash the bootloaders because, somehow, i managed to flash the JVK ROM and i have issues with my screen and i can't enter in recovery mode.
I already tried with all of the heimdall bootloaders in Perka's File Stash, but i get the same result. Verbose mode in Heimdall when i try (and fail) to flash Sbl.bin says this:

Try flashing the complete package, Use Odion 1.7 or 1.8 this will fix the issue

I already tried with the 5 Heimdall Bootloaders in your File Stash, but nothing changes.

Are you by any chance trying to flash bootloaders from I9000 International on I9000T?

Try the 2.1 single file package meant for your region. You can download it from samfirmware I think.

Yes, that is exactly what i am trying to do, the first bootloader passes, but the secondary not. Should i wait for a Gingerbread ROM for my model of Galaxy S?

Lol ... No words ...

Yeah I know exactly what your're talking about. I recommend flasing always with Heimdall, try again flashing bootloaders but before make sure U first put the phone in USB Debugging mode before enter in Download mode. Hope this helps.

Please don't do it, there is a reason that your device refuses to be flashed with the Sbl.bin from the International I9000, don't you agree?

Well, since pretty much everything available for the i9000 also works for the i9000T i thought it would work, i mean, the only the only thing that everyone says is different (In the forums, obviuosly) is that the i9000T uses the 850 band, but i must be wrong. Also, i don't see other i9000T users complaining about bootloaders... maybe they haven't tried... Thanks anyway, i'll stick with FroYo ROMs for the moment.

Froysm, I'm with Telcel as well and I'm experiencing the same!
I flashed it successfully with JPY ROM...
When I tried to update to JS5 ROM, Odin hung at sbl.bin...
And then began my nightmare... It is soft bricked. I can get to Recovery and Download, but the phone is not working beyond that.
I tried to flash back to JPY, and it is booting, but it fails to present the "login screen"... and it keeps vibrating from time to time (every 20 seconds or so)
Someone told me that JPU is the way to go in this cases, but it hangs at sbl.bin as well.
I've read that JM8 (eclair 2.1) should fix this problem, but I've also read that it may hardbrick the phone... so, I'm in a researching stage right now...
Did you soft bick your phone with the sbl.bin issue?
How did you get it back?
I'm kinda savvy in technical stuff, but I'm a newcomer to android, so I'm kinda lost. I don't know if you can help me...
I'm thinking of getting my phone back to telcel and ask for a replacement, but that wouldn't help in my learning. I want to seize this issue to get to know android, but I need someone to lead me or someone that can show me the way... lots of information, and I don't know where to start.
Cheers!

My exact problem is described in the following thread>

Oh, damn Telcel! I'm with Telcel too and I'll be happy to help you.

Anyone seen this before? I heard a factory reset will solve this but I don't want to do this until I have all my app data backed up. I don't want to lose it before i root. Any ideas?
Hi, thought I bump this up to see if anyone would be able to help.

So it would seem to me your problem is that you have neither a EVO 3D or a Sensation, simples!
Nope, it has been used before on other DHD.

My bad, the fre3vo threads are out of date it seems, digging around it suggests that a simple reboot and trying again seems to work, I am assuming it didn't in your case?
done that and it didn't work
I was told over at androidforums to reset the phone, but if I do that I lose my app data. Need to back it up before I root.

My backup app doesn't require root like titanium backup, you can use it prior to root. once rooted restore and switch to titanium.

Again, it doesn't back up the application data. Only the .apk. You need root to do this.

Hello,
I have an evolio neura tablet, which I understand is the romanian version of malata zpad t8, how do I know which serial I have, because as for as I understand there are two types of models MCB and MCC.
-also because I am new to the android family can someone explain step by step how to upgrade the rom?
Thanks

Hello
There three models mca. Which doesn't use interval memory and was the easy way to upgrade any ron
Mcb its little confuse what type of nand type are use in previous update of official firmware was problem to install mcc nand type sound errors and. Not compatible firmsware
Only if know what type of you use proceed to this
and mcc with interval memory the things are very dangerous .this nvflash regognize your interval memory as SD card and sdcatd turns as emcc folder
Ihave test it to emmc models.
Under the tap of sim card has the type of memory that you use
Open the tap. And has a specification note with numbers
Something like that ( emmc34567886)
i cant find the serial under the gsm tap, is there another posibility of finding it?

Is rooted ?
If open root directory with root explorer is any directory like emmc. emmb ....
China Malata 3g models are mmc
But Russian 3q models has been moderate with erricson 3g spare even are, or not 3g
Maybe and the Romanian models has been modified
With 3g
Try with root explorer to find mount points
And from market android system info has an option to find mount points
Check it out .
Its to early for ice cream

it's a tool to convert lgu files to directory and vice versa
to be used in command line this way:
lgu2dir <path to lgu file> <path to folder where where the contents will be unpacked>
ex: lgu2dir upgrade.lgu root

changing only one file within the LGU without extracting anything is possible?
Hello guys, first thanks for the help with the file compression and decompression of the LGU, but I have a problem when compressing the file again made ​​a change in one of the firmware files and recompile the file is not accepted as update my device I believe it has something to do dir2lgu different from the original build program which makes it invalid on the device, so I wonder if there is any header possibilidede the only LGU that change a file without extract, because I need to unlock a device and only need need to change an exe within the LGU, is this possible? who developed these programs that kind of compression they use? I'm 3 months in search of a solution and nothing would be grateful for an answer that will help many people.
need a new lgu2dir for a newer version of .lgu files
Hello guys,
seems like lg made a new version of the car radio with windows ce, and the new .lgu files can not be opened by the old tools.
Thanks.
Same here, new version of lgu, cannot be opened, file signature (or magic number if u prefer) is now ULC2.
And the archive in the lgu container is no more RAR but a Zip tipe, as usual seen inside the file with the hex editor, i tried to cut out the archive but archive won't work i suspect that's somenthing like a byte shift or other kind of "protection".
I have spotted that at address from block 18 to 1B is stored that crc in reverse way.
But i'm not found the way to recover the internal archive.
@lost_things Did you have a new version? (If u are still around here, seems that these posts are the only 2 that you are ever made )
Thank you in advice.
@viberfm
Are you working with new medianav evolution firmware too?
New lgu tools available
Warm thanks ! You made a really great job djeman !!
Works perfectly both for 'old' and 'new' files. Be careful to position appropriate 'content-name' and 'label' when recompressing, your car application may need it to work appropriately.
Hi,
@djeman the new dir2lgu.exe, don't get any options, if you try to pass -l o -u, don't care it create always an lgu0 type, and -n and -p don't work at all, i hope u can fix it.
Thank you for you work anyway

Oh crap, I have confused the -n option with the <content name>, so to put the content name name i use -n :silly: Ok i made a big mistake, but i'm happy that i'm not the only one, seems that @sala_test had done the same mistake
Ok, so, to avoid other mistakes, what is the -n option "label"? And what is the difference to use -l and -u instead of -p m1 or m2?
Anyway i'm a dumbass , thank you for your work
'dir2lgu -p m1 <content name> <in folder> <out lgu file>' is equal to 'dir2lgu -l -n "*MEDIA-NAV*" <content name> <in folder> <out lgu file>'.
'dir2lgu -p m2 <content name> <in folder> <out lgu file>' is equal to 'dir2lgu -u -n "*MEDIA-NAV2*" <content name> <in folder> <out lgu file>'.
Do not use -p option with an another, it's just for rapid preset.
"content name" is the name of the content of your update, the name shows on the device in the update dialog.
"name label" ... it's a device label, this label is used by the update software, it's a protection to not flash a bad update. All devices do not use it.
Ok @djeman thanks for explaination, thank you

As far as I know, Sony patched the vulnerability used in towelroot a few kernel versions ago. The functions are (partly) still there, but not exploitable anymore. I guess someone needs to find another vulnerability for us to be able to root the device. (Bootloader unlock is not possible as of now as the device is not listed on the Sony Unlocker site)

i hope this will be added. from the moment i'm able to backup the DRM keys i will unlock the device.
I ordered the 16G version without LTE here in Germany - should arrive today - i REALLY hope that root will be possible anytime soon, so I can use the app "FolderMount" again to link app-storage to the external sd-card

I wonder why the z3ct is not in the official bootloader unlock list on the Sony website? Does it usually take a while? The z3 is on the list already.

Yes it is really frustrating. What's the point of having the kernel sources if we are not able to flash the kernel?
Who should I contact at Sony to express my opinion?
I wonder if Sony is going to do something about the problem with permanently losing the drm keys when unlocking the bootloader so we are unable to fully restore to stock.
For this reason, the resale value of an unlocked device will be much less and it scares away development.

Has anyone tried changing the strings in towelroot? Tap the towelroot icon three times and change it to 1337 0 1 0 4 0 or 1337 0 1 0 5 0 or 1337 0 1 0 6 0 and so on.
How long should i wait at each try?
the tab doesn't reboot. the app seems to freeze.

Lost root after updating to B29

I've recently picked up this phone (A2017U), and following the guide from DrakenFX (don't think I can post links yet), the phone was bootloader unlocked and rooted on B20. I then decided to update it to B29 using an additional guide.
Ok, I'm pretty sure I did something stupid here, as I opted to wipe system during the above steps, and there was an error (E: failed to mount..., I think it was). I then flashed SuperSU from TWRP as noted in the above post, but after rebooting, I lost root, and I'm back to the stock recovery. Now, my PC can see the phone fine in regular mode with ADB, but as soon as I do 'adb reboot edl' or 'adb reboot bootloader', I get USB error 43 (device descriptor request failed). I have two integrated USB 3.0 ports on this PC and have tried both, and I've also tried this on another PC (Surface Pro 4) multiple times and with two different cables, with the same result. Both are Windows 10 post anniversary update. I've also reinstalled and tried it pre-anniversary update. I've tried using the Google ADB drivers (version 9.00) to no avail. I can manually add 'Android Bootloader Interface' when error 43 happens, but it gives me error 10 and no amount of uninstalling/reinstalling does the trick. I've also tried FTM, which gives me ADB access and a COM port, but it's right back to error 43 with 'adb reboot edl/adb reboot bootloader'.
Am I missing something, or am I stuck? Is there no way to get it recognized in fastboot mode so I can flash TWRP again?
Check in drakenfx thread on the b29 update, I think i saw note about it in OP
Have you tried going back to b20 using the zte factory firmware image?
When you get to a point you can't recover from, go back to square one and start over.
Since you said you unlocked your bootloader, what happens when you reboot your device? Do you get a weirdly formatted black screen for a few seconds that says something along the lines of "Warning - your device is unlockrr", before booting into the OS? If so, press VolUp or VolDown during that screen, it'll give you booting options. Select Fastboot and it'll reboot into bootloader.
All: thanks for the tips so far. I did manage to go back to B20 stock using ZTE's factory update.zip. Unfortunately, that's as far as I can seem to get. The bootloader is still unlocked (as it indicates when I do 'adb reboot bootloader') but since going back to B20 I no longer get the startup message that tells you so (device can't be trusted). OEM unlocking is still set to 'on' in developer options. I've done the 'update driver software' trick on the USB 3 host controllers but that didn't work. I've also pulled the battery from my motherboard and left it off for a few minutes. That didn't help either, as I still get error 43 when entering fastboot mode. I have a backup of fbop.img prior to unlocking, and a full TWRP backup from B20, but since I don't have root or fastboot I can't flash anything.
Hi all,
Unfortunately, I still can't get any pc to recognize my phone in fastboot mode via any of the above suggestions. I tried this thread titled: "[RESOLVED] fastboot not recognizing phone in bootloader mode" (I can't post links yet), but it didn't work. Neither Kingroot or Kingoroot work either (although some requests have been made in Kingroot). Am I stuck? I don't know of any other way to get my pc or my Surface Pro 4 to recognize the phone in fastboot mode or even to get root.

You need to revert back to the old drivers in device manager,
When you boot to fastboot the device install the newest drivers and those drivers are a NO GO,
Boot to fastboot and look in Windows device manager , you'll see Android something forgot the name and go to update drivers and manually revert / install driver from 2014, I'm not at home at the moment so can't tell you exactly how.
As soon I get home I'll update this post.
EDIT : CHECK IMAGE about HOW TO Revert to Old drivers.
NOTE : YOU MUST BE IN BOOTLOADER / FASTBOOT MODE.

NOTE : YOU MUST BE IN BOOTLOADER / FASTBOOT MODE.[/QUOTE]
Hi DrakenFX,
Thank you for the response. I did try the above, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I tried this on my Surface Pro 4, and when I enter fastboot mode, I get error 43 (device descriptor request failed). I can manually install the drivers from 2014, but if I do, I get error 10. I can uninstall the drivers and reinstall them, but to no avail. I tried this on my PC also, and I don't get error 43. Instead, there is no indication at all when entering fastboot mode. On my PC, I updated the BIOS and the USB 3.0 firmware thinking that would help, but it didn't. This is an Asus 970 Pro Gaming/Aura motherboard. I've tried it in multiple USB ports, both 2.0 and 3.0. Previously I reinstalled Windows (Windows 10) several times on my PC and that didn't help, either. I had drivers from another phone installed (HTC One M9) and thought that might be conflicting, and removed them, but that didn't do anything either.
I know I've got to be missing something totally obvious but I can't for the life of me figure out what that is. The phone is recognized just fine normally, but as soon as I enter fastboot mode, it's no longer recognized. Is it a problem the fastboot partition itself? I've done cat/proc/partitions and it shows a size of 512 for sde6 (which, I believe, is the fastboot partition), so there does appear to be data in it.
Here is the output of cat/proc/mounts:

I also wanted to do ls -al /dev/block/platform/*/by-name but it returns 'permission denied', which means it needs root, which I don't have.
What do you recommend I should do next?
Edit: for what it's worth, I have a backup of fbop.img prior to unlocking the bootloader, even though I can't do anything with it at this time. The bootloader is still unlocked and 'OEM unlocking' has been left in the on position on each attempt I've made. I've also been able to flash back to B20 using the stock update and that didn't help either.
Find an old PC, with Windows 7, start from scratch. Do not waste your time in the new ones.
I'm trying to find one this week. Found one already, but unfortunately it had too many problems to be of any use. I may have to wait for the weekend for another shot.
