Having problems with flashing GINGERBREAD??

Here is the 100% working method. No chance to fail. Unless you make a mistake somewhere.
Download Stock ROM from below link. (thanks to Chainfire)
With bootloaders: http://www.multiupload.com/IZLCKQ3VJC
Extract the zip file to a folder. There after extract the .tar file to a folder.
Open Heimdall (you should know the drill how it works) place the files from extracted folder in respective fields .
At the place of modem, do not use the one from extracted folder. Use the link below for JPZ modem
http://www.multiupload.com/F9Z64KG9XO
unzip the file and extract modem.bin, copy in phone.
Now hit START.
After completion, reboot & immediately go to ODIN 3.1.7 download mode Oops! that’s how I worked (Heimdall & then odin ). Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition) found in the below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
Reboot and relax a little. As you over worked
It will boot to Ginger 2.3.3
Still you cannot flash custom ROM’s for that you got to reboot in Odin one’s again.

download the last file from the list. i.e.
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip
Put in PDA and start. It will reboot and there you are ready with your flashable Gingerbread SGT.
For OVERCOME ROM 2.0 beta (Thanks to Sir Alterbridge) download the below file
http://www.multiupload.com/QW65A4Q794
copy the zip to internal SD
go to recovery, choose zip from internal SD …. Flash!
I’m waiting for BoyPPC ROM as he might probably come out with the MIUI Rom. As Mr. Alterbridge is not into eye candy stuff his work is too serious.

Is this for all verions of the SGT? IE sprint/verizon/gsm?

Odin works for me for all flash, i.e. Main rom and dbdata

I would like to know the same also, can this be flashed with cdma version galaxy tab?

Would be better to title the topic better. If you was browsing teh list it would look like you was asking for help in flashing. It would be much better to make title more descriptive and tag it with [GUIDE] and take away the "??" from the end.
Probably best tu number or bullet point, make paragraphs to separate steps etc, would give it more structure.
btw, you do know that the overcome rom that is linked to in this guide comes with a very complete and precise guide to follow itself anyway?

That depends on if you want to back uo your apps or not, but for most people/everyone else it was clear instructions.

there was much more then just backup like rooting and stuff. i believe people who jump to ginger all ready went through all that process. i think Appbackup is working like charm plus you can save the apk's and flash to any device. or may be titanium is better not much into it though.
Ganjdroid, i was going through your Miui post. it's not that simple to get them working you know? i wish if some one can incorporate those files in a ROM and make it as a ready made dish Ginger without MIUI is like nothing but Froyo.

Sorry but there just isnt any need for this guide really. The overcome one isnt complicated at all and you can just skip past backup up upps section if you need to.
Plus you have no need to use heimdall and then Odin, you can just use Odin.
You also say to use a specific modem file but dont explain what version of tab that file is for, somebody may be using this "guide" that doesnt want/need that file.
If you want to successfully and accurately flash to GB stock or Overcom custom you should follow the proper guide in the Overcome thread.

The reason behind this post was, i shared what iv'e experienced and there are many who could not successfully port through Odin even i faced a problem with one of the tab. i feel Heimdall for flashing Stock ROM's is more friendly then Odin.

Hi,
For those who have flashed the JQ1 successfully using Odin3 v1.70, can you please advise the full procedure/config for an Android noob?
Understand that it should be:
- Repartition Enabled
- Shall I click "phone bootloader Update"?
- Pit: gt-p1000_mr.pit provided by Chainfire in the JQ1 Thread.
- PDA: P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar
- Phone: Pls advise how to use the JPZ-Modem.zip on the first post.
Edit: found the how to for the modem
- CSC: ¿?
Thanks and pls bear with me.

well, i use heimdall only for stock ROM's for rest i mean for Custom Rom's they made Clockwork.
partition check and un check play's important role also. people just ignore it sometimes while flashing Kernel's with Odin.

this is simple and for all those who think their tab/phone do not connect to Odin.
plug in your usb to the pc. go to device manager. uninstall the samsung driver which is already there. refresh the drivers or unplug and replug the usb cable. will search for the driver and install it again. there u r connected to the ODIN.
have a nice day!

Galaxy S3 i9300 Unbrick [restore to stock rom] [noobs][easy]

Hi guys! This is a noob-proof guide on how to flash stock samsung firmware on your i9300. Whether you have bricked it or just want the stock firmware back. Here's how to do it (detailed explaination)
WARNING! : This is only for the GT i9300 (international version) , Check your device before proceeding. Also you might lose all your data. So backup! i am not responsible if you brick your phone(although very unlikely) by not following the guide properly
Also you will lose your custom recovery, Custom ROM and will not longer have root
Ok lets begin!
1. Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed on your pc (http://bit.ly/SDaIIE)
2. Your device should have at least 80% battery left
3. Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Developer Options>Tick the Usb debugging tick box!
Files needed :
1. Android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMC3 for Galaxy S3 I9300 - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202240205/4dcf384/I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE.zip.html
2. Odin 3.07 - http://bit.ly/16aRzF4
Extract The firmware Zip file until you get a file with a .tar extension and some other files. Do not extract furthur
Extract odin zip file till you get Odin3 v3.07.exe
Now here comes the actual flashing part
1. Power off your smartphone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
2. Now, get into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power button simultaneously until Samsung Galaxy logo appears in phone screen. Wait few seconds and your phone will be in download mode.
3.Open odin as administrator and connect your s3 to your computer with usb cable
4. You will get a message "Added" in the message box in odin and You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
if you don't get this , try another usb port.. if it still doesn't come , reinstall drivers.
5. Select these files from I9300XXEMC3 folder in Odin at respective buttons:
Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar.md5 file here with *code* appearing in its name
Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting , otherwise ignore it.
6. make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file
7. Double check everything above and hit start!
8. once flashing is complete the phone will reboot automatically and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
After completing these steps, Make sure to wipe the cache and do a factory reset in clockworkmod recovery if you do happen to find yourself in a bootloop (phone rebooting continuously) Or just do it anyways to prevent a bootloop from occurring.
congrats! , you have just restored your i9300!
If this has helped you make sure to hit the thanks button!

Yes and no... You must reformat partitions and upload an ICS bootloader. Not for the regular user i'm afraid

This normally happens when the partitions on the embedded multi media card gets corrupted for whatever reason, also known as the emmc.
The phone can be revived by flashing a pit file to repartition the emmc in order so it can be written to.
Download and unzip this file and you will have a .pit file which you put in the tab marked PIT in Odin
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
(Just google the one that you need and download it)
Next make sure > r partition, f /reset, and auto reboot are ticked in options in Odin.
Next put the stock rom in the tab marked PDA, if flashing a custom rom then flash a rooted kernel first in PDA together with the pit file, hit start and start the flashing process, afterwards this will also give you the option of flashing the rom from recovery, next, flash the custom rom from Odin or from recovery
When finished the phone should reboot and start up.

Last question.. does flashing the stock ICS firmware voids my warranty??

Thx

If it is an official ROM package, it shouldn't trigger yellow triangle.
Even in that case, you can use Triangle Away app from Chainfire and see how it comes to zero

it doesn't matter if you can do it - it's as useless as changing the wallpaper before flashing

[Q] S4 keeps rebooting

Hello all,
I have a S4 in my hands.
Now the history of the Phone is as follows:
Customer tried to take out the sim card by force. And broke the metal plate.
Yesterday I replaced the microsim/sim slot. Testing the full Phone and ready to go.
Today I go back to the end customer for the same device.
It keeps rebooting after the samsung galaxy S4 white screen. And keeps going.
This is what I tried:
Updating to newest rom - no luck
Plugigng in into pc by cable - keeps rebooting with only showing the battery icon.
Try to go in recovery mode - not possible
Going into download mode - works
The little smash trick of YouTube (smash to table gently with side of power button down) - don't work
Any suggestions?

So you are the employee that fixes phones and don't know what to do with a bootloop, but do know how to replace a simslot? I am somewhat confused..
A bootloop always has some cause.. check init.d script or so.
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb shell chmod 000 /system/etc/init.d/*
at least get an adb connection and logcat,
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb logcat -C
else you cannot say anything about the problem since you don't know the cause. (if debugging is disabled unpack boot.img and make changes in ram disk for enabling debugging/adb, then repack and reflash)
If download mode works just flash a custom recovery first, make a nandroid backup (make sure you secure the files whenever possible, since there is the nasty symlink "/data/media/" which is actually just /sdard. so if you wipe data manually it the nandroid backup will be gone), then try to do factory reset, if it doesn't work still, just reflash stock rom with odin + factory reset.
oh and for the record, the simslot being broken is not the cause of the bootloop, just that you know.

Hi,
When you say "updating to newest ROM" do you mean that you flashed stock ROM again via Odin? If not, then that's my suggestion for you, but first I'd try factory resetting it via stock recovery.
~Lord

Thank you for Your kind reply.
Yes indeed, I fix a lot, but I have and know my limits. . I've tried a lot to pass the boot loop.
But if it's not possible to fix it for me. Than its better to ask.
I will try a custom rom. And keep you informed. Thank you.

Installing a rom with odin din't help. I got na Green PASS but bootloop keeps running.
Installing CWM did not help allso, it give me a PASS, but I can't enter recovery.
So, how do I get acces to init.d ?

If recovery mode doesn't work and the device keeps rebooting, try to flash stock ROM with Odin and put the .PIT file after checking 'Re-Partition'

Just ready. got a green pass in odin. But still the same, and not able to go in recovery.
Maybe a hardware malfunction? Can I test that somewhere?

Retry with the same procedure a couple of times... if this doesn't solve problems, then it's an hardware fault

[Q] I need help! Soft brick my note 4, need a .PIT file.

My phone is stuck on firmware on "upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried Kies 3 and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried different firmwares the invalid .4ext error and says the file too big 475000 < 512000 something among those lines. I read that I will need to re-partition the memory with .PIT file for the note 4, which is no where to be found on google. I hope someone will be kind enough to extract the .PIT file from their phone and post it here.
Cheers,
Mus

Me too

I had the same problem. All i did was use Odin to put TWRP on my phone and it booted back up.

N910F
I tried many way nothing happen i cant use odin fail in everything i try to flash with rom or recovery. and now phone keep restarting and i cant wipe data?? anything i add or delete after restart go back like before like nothing happen?????

Guys I tried flash latest Sweden and have same problem size too big and ext4 failed,then I flash Philz recovery and voila phone booted everything its ok!!!

If you download a stock Samsung ROM, remove the .md5 from the end of it, and then extract the archive, you should find the PIT file in there.
I've not had to do it myself, because I'm using an S4 at the moment and was able to get a PIT file download on its own. So I can't verify 100% that it will be there, but I read it in a thread somewhere that it is.
Give it a try..

Thanks a lot for your answer. But I would like to ask, will "Nand Erase All" delete all the data on the phone??
Appreciate your time for answering.

Nand Erase All it's mean clean all internal storage, so when you flash using ODIN or else make sure you have backup of data. for more future information please read this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757 :good:

Thanks for reply.
At this moment I have no backup from my data, do I have any option (in my situation) to backup my data before Nand erase all??
And also, did I also need a PIT file to add to odin when flashing as SpamMachine discribed in 2nd post?? (I read somewhere that it is important to add a pit file...)
Thanks in advance

I think you have no chance to backup data. but if you have previously synchronized it may be possible to recover but maybe some data can not be recovered. flashing device with or without PIT file can be, but have you ever tried to flashing by using 4 types of firmware (full firmware) ? not a single one.
it's for the PIT file if you do not already have it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66358795&postcount=10
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847294485 here is for repair firmware if you need it. I not provided this file, so credits goes to original hosted. :highfive:

Hi
Thanks for trying to help me
But unfortunately I tried to flash as described in 2nd post, and also added pit file (from the post you shared me), but problem persist, I can't flash nothing, phone keeps saying MDM MODE CAN'T DOWNLOAD
Do you have any suggestion how to get out that???
Thank you
