Hi XDA people,
I need some help over this. Not sure if I am correct.
I wish to use XXJPY PDA, DXJPA Modem and OLBJPA CSC. Is it possible?
And do i need to tick re-partition when using the setting below?
PIT: 512
PDA: CODE_I9000XXJPY
PHONE: MODEM_I9000DXJPA
CSC: CSC_I9000OLBJPA
Previously, I'm using 513 pit. pda, phone and csc is xxjpa.

not working. stuck at galaxy s logo.
i have boot into recovery to wipe data/reset and clear cache.

You cannot use original csc from 2.2 on 2.2.1. But you can use deodexed swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so from 2.2 to get swype for your language. Just remember to delete the Swype.odex from 2.2.1

XXJPY is just a update u can only flash it without ticking repartetion option in odin on a working rom

HELP! I think bricked my phone!
I tried this simple method for lag fixing my Galaxy S (stock 2.2.1 xxjpy) using Odin 1.3.
I flashed with only the PDA file, odin responded that there was no PIT file.
So this noob used 512 PIT file and now my phone will only acces download mode. With normal startup i get small a phone-pc logo and thats it.
"Now, other options like Re-partition and keep the PIT should be unchecked and should be kept blank as it is."
I cant find the 'keep the pit' option in Odin.
Does anyone know if and how i can save my phone?

Odin flash a stock rom .

Bootloop while flashing JW4

Hey, I tried flashing JW4 stock rom via ODIN which I downloaded from sammobile.
The name of the file is I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip and on extracting there were 2 files called JW4_JW4_JW4.tar & SS_DL.dll. I selected the tar file in PDA and flashed. The process passed but am stuck with bootloop. Plz help

I also flashed a jw4. But that was without the dll.
Anyway, after i flashed and it booted up i got a doozen errors telling me it couldnt mount different partitions.
So i gave it up as a bad one and found a thread here at xda with different stock roms and ended up with jw5.
No complications whatsoever. Yet
just google for "stock roms i9000 xda" and you should stumble over the thread i believe.
Good luck

I faced exactly the same problem: bootloop after flashing XXJW4 and many mount errors in the screen. I concluded that this firmware is not standalone in the sense that you cannot flash and repartition the device using it. Following this logic I performed these steps, leading me to a successfully recovered and fully functional XXJW4 phone:
Flash it with a full stock firmware, e.g. XXJVU (mark "repartition" as well).
Flash XXJW4 as you have done it, but make sure "Repartition" is not selected. That is, just select the tar file in the PDA field and leave the rest with the default options.

Another huge problem Got Black Screen Of Death. Am able to get my phone on to download mode but odin is not detecting my phone. HELP ME What to do?

Use another USB port. You can flash deodex version of JW4 which doesn't have any problems

bootloops
Factory Reset / Cache Wipe /
use by the Pitfile from JW 1 and flash the JW 4 ,that`s it !!
LG.G.

Your PDA file might be missing the dbdata.rfs file, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24182099&highlight=dbdata#post24182099, which can cause boot loops.

[Q] Bricked! Help!

Hi guys
So I did a restore on my note using the volume up/power restore method, and it worked fine, but then I decided to go back to my later version which I backed up before restoring to the earlier one, and now it sits on the 'samsung galaxy note gt-n7000' screen.
I downloaded the correct firmware from samfirmware, and a .pit, and used heimdall to do a recovery (I have a macbook) and it hasn't made any difference.
any suggestions?

Did the firmware flash fine?
And can you still access download mode / recovery?

Which rom where you restoring and from what rom?

Hi guys
I was running ice cream sandwich after an ota update, then I rooted it and installed franco r5 kernal via CMW.
I backed up using CMW then today a week later I backed up using the backup/resotre option you get when doing vol up/power/home
I went back to my original backup which worked, but then decided I wanted to go back to my current set up, which is when it stopped working.
I downloaded the firmware for the irish/uk n7000 N7000XXLQ2_EULP4_XEU and the 16meg pit from the site as well.
I selected 'restore' in heimdall and chose 'repartition' and the .pit I had downloaded and the firmware I downloaded. Heimdall said it had done it all ok but it sits on the boot screen, then goes blank after 10-15 seconds, then the boot screen reappears and stays there.
ETA .pit file was: N7000_I9220_Q1_20110914_16GB.pit and I cannot access recovery, just the volume down reset to use Heimdall

OK, try to flash a stock gb with heimdall. If it gets stuck, let us know at which point ie factoryfs.img
Usually if a rom flash gets stuck at Samsung logo, wiping cache and dalvik cache will let it proceed.
Using a pit file should always be a last resort as its a risky process.

Sorry, I'm a noob at this - only had the phone 13 days!
I have already used Heimdall to flash recovery and .pit and it said it all worked fine. The screen showed a green bar transferring the files and then it restarts, only to sit there on the boot screen again...
So what do you mean about flashing a stock GB? Is that not what I have already downloaded?
-R

Okay, I have located the firmware for gingerbreas 2.3.6 on samfirmware and I'm downloading that.
I assume I just factory restore using the same .pit and the 2.3.6 as before? Think it will work?
Otherwise I will have to take it back to the shop tomorrow and tell them its not working

You don't need a pit file, that's just for repartitioning the chip in extreme circumstances, should only be used for emergencies.
Just flash the gb rom (which contains 3 files, rom, csc and modem). I haven't used heimdall myself so can't advise on setup. Once flashed let me know if it worked or not and if not where it got stuck.

Thanks ST
Heimdall makes you locate a .pit file before you can select the firmware. It then gives you the options:
BOOT
EFS
SBL1
SBL2
PARAM
RECOVERY
CACHE
MODEM
FACTORYFS
DATAFS
UMS
HIDDEN
GANG
KERNEL
So I chose 'Recovery'. most of the others wont let you choose the .tar.md5 file, then mainly ask for either a .bin file or a .img file. KERNEL lets me select it with the .tar.md5 firmware though.
So I will just try RECOVERY again, this time using the 2.3.6 firmwares, not the 4.0.3?
Sorry, I don't mean to act thick! it doesn't help using Heimdall because there is so little online about how to use it compared to ODIN
R

OK. Again, I'm not sure as never used it, so you may want to get some confirmation on this before accepting my response.
If you unzip the gb tar file with 7zip, you'll expose those files, cache.img, zimage (kernel), boot.bin, modem.bin, sbl.bin,factoryfs.img, hidden.img, param.lfs
Perhaps try to allocate each of these to the corresponding section and flash that if recovery option doesn't work.
Is there any reason you choose heimdall over Odin? Are you a Mac user?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

when I try to manually upload Kernel, Cache, FactoryFS, Hidden and Modem it does the kernel but falls over at the cache saying:
"ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence! CACHE upload failed!"
what does that mean then?

Okay, so it looks like pretty much all the parts are failing in Heimdall - factoryFS, cache etc. Kernel copied Ok, but all the others return some sort of error.
I have tried both GB and ICS, both fail at the same-ish point in factoryFS.

No you're not. Find a friend with a PC and load up Odin. Give that a whirl before declaring defeat. Odin and heimdall are similar but not identical.

+1 for this. Odin is really simple. Make sure samsung drivers are installed on pc (can just load kies). Run odin as administrator, put the phone in download mode (volume down, power and select button held down until it reboots into download) connect to PC, Odin will change to yellow colour if connection good, then all you do is point to the tar file in "pda" and it will sort out all the partitions for you. Really simple. Don't need any pit or repartitioning.

sounds sweet if only I had a PC.... thanks for all your help guys

I think I've finally sorted it! Just restoring ICS now.
The way I fixed it was this:
Download Heimdall 1.3.1 (NOT 1.3.2) and flashed HIDDEN, KERNEL, CACHE, MODEM - FACTORYFS wouldnt flash.
she is restoring now and I pray all will be well
fingers crossed!
BUT now I stupidly went and flashed a non-genuine kernel so I have a yellow triangle
Can I use Triangle Away do you think?

Okay, now I can get both reset screens but still stuck on boot screen. What do I need to do now?

I suggest you use odin first.. if you still can't flash factoryfs, your emmc is toasted...

[Q] S5 SM_G900F lollipopXXU1BNL9 TWRP install fail

Please help!!!!
I have a SM-G900F S5.
Just updated to XXU1BNL9 Lollipop.
Not clean install, I upgraded it. All official releases from Sammobile, done with Odin 3.09.
Upgrade went all ok, fine, up & running.
Tried to install TWRP 2.8.4.0, also with Odin 3.09
10/10 times it fails with write error.
Any ideas???
Would like to root my phone, so this first step would be really necessary!
Thx!

I fixed Odin fail with a pit file...
Download pit fie for your device...
Open Odin... Flash firmware
When Odin fail... Unplug cable... Plug it back... Uncheck that box with pda (and leave it there) ... Load pit file... And hit start even if the error is still there... After U hit start button It should finish and auto reboot
I USED THIS METHOD JUST FOR FIRMWARE FAIL... I DON'T KNOW IT WILL WORK WITH CWM FAIL in Odin
Also... You should try to download again twrp... Or another source... Version... Etc im sure that the error it's because of the cwm file

Thx for the ideas, I will try them.
I tried to unplug-replug cable, download other TWRP, also from different sources.
Seems as if it was some writing authentication issue of some kind - but no idea, why.

I tried everything else expect the pit file.
I did not find a pit file for the XXU1BNL9 version.
Also, I did not find ClockworkMod for Lollipop, only for 4.4.x
So, I triedTWRP 2.8.1.0 and 2.8.4.0 - both ending the same way: The recover flashing starts with Odin, and then it is almost immadiately fails with some write problem. It seems as if the recovery tar.md5 is not compatibl with the ROM version, or as if some mysterious Samsung protection would reject the recovery flash.
Strange thing is, that all forums (e.g. droidviews, ibtimes, xda, etc.) give a description about rooting this ROM, and not even one mentiones any phenomenon like this.

Soft Brick - FAILED TO MOUNT SYSTEM - Help

Good night guys, so there's my problem:
I was on DN 0.6.1 custom ROM, TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted. Today, i wanted to go back to stock ROM, so, I downloaded the stock firmware throught sammobile, and tried to install it throught ODIN 3.11, but it's stopped at system.img, and remained stuck in it for a long time. so i decided to restart the phone..
Then it's showed the follow message:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 4. Please select recovery mode on kies and try again.
So, i tried to re-flash throught ODIN, but stucked at system.img again, after it, I downloaded KIES and tried restore it, but it's stopped at 2%.
I wasn't abble to go to recovery mode, only download mode, so, i extracted the ROM file, and flashed only the boot.img through ODIN. Now it's boot to recovery...
I wiped data/cache, but the following error showed up:
E: Failed to mount system (invalid argument).
and now i can't find a solution for it.. tried to do amost anything that i could find on the internet, but none solved my problem...
I'm wanting to flash PIT + CSC + PDA file, using the repartition option on ODIN, but i'm afraid that may brick my phone for ever...
I'm following this tutorial by now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...-t-w8-t3282641
And i need this CSC file, because my phone is the C version, could someone give me link to download it ? couldn't find in any place.
ANd there's someone who could help me ? i'm very concerned about it because i don't have money to buy another phone at the moment...
Thanks, and yes, already looked at XDA for a answer but couldn't fine any.
THANK YOU

First, thread belongs in Help section not Dev.....
Second, are you sure you downloaded the right firmware from SamMobile? If restore in TWRP works, partitions most likelyaren't jacked up.

Are you sure it's system.img not hidden.img? I ran across something after attempting ODIN flashes starting a few version back.
You need to re remove hidden.img from tar file and flash it separate. Sucks but it's been working for me.
