I will explain in as much detail as I can what my problem is.
I am looking to install the Darky Gingerbread Rom, I have already downloaded 7.6 along with the CWM(Update zip)
I am currently using the following firmware
Firmware Version 2.2
Baseband Version I9000XXJPM
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 / root9(at)sep-42 #1
Build Number FROYO . XXJPM
I have a copy of JM8 which I downloaded today and the RAR contains a Modem & PDA file, which if my memory serves me correct, these are 2 of the files i need along with the CSC & Pit File, which I also have.
From what I can gather I need to run JPY to install Darkys Rom (Correct me if I am wrong) so I downloaded a copy of JPY only to discover that the RAR only contained 1 x file called JPY_JPY_JPY. Tar. At this point I am now stuck because I am looking for a PDA & Modem file for Odin3 v1.0 to install.
Please help me as I am getting frustrated as I have tried all day in my quest to get this on my phone.
Many Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to all
Best Regards GTi9K

My apologies for posting in the wrong section, shall I delete the thread, Im kind of lost with so many sections.
May I ask where I get a rom with 2e recovery or a kernel which supports it?
Not to sure what I am looking for,
Regards GTi9K
yes u could use a 2.1 rom or for example hardcores kernel both flashable with odin there are other kernels just read the corresponding threads to be sure what they do(lagfix...) disable every lagfix backup efs and apps(u will perhaps need to flash again) and be sure u have 3btn combo working...

I think you are new to the community so I will be as basic as possible,
1) Flash XXJPY, you only have 1 tar file that means you flash it with putting as a PDA in odin, and put 512 pit in the PIT section. Then once flashed successfully, let the phone boot then turn off go back to download mode and flash hardcores k12 kernel , just search it on xda in the top right bar. Then flash that in odin and again you will only have one file so place that in pda BUT DONT use a pit this time. Now place darkkys rom in your sd card and power off your phone. Hold volume up, home and power button same time until the screen lights up saying i9000 to go into recovery, select install zip from sd card with the home and volume buttons, then choose zip and select darkkys rom then once install complete, go back and reboot. You are now om darkkys rom. Happy new year

Hello,
Do you know where I can get a PHONE file for Vibrant T959 to use with ODIN?? Please help...
A while back, in the process of installing a 2.3.3 ROM on my Vibrant T959, I used a Galaxy 9000 PHONE file (and PIT and PDA) via ODIN. Since then, at boot, splash says i9000 then 2nd splansh says Vibrant.
Phone works ok, but there are times when it thinks phone is an i9000 not an Vibrant - like using ROM Manager and downloading recovery.
I have looked everywhere but not found a stock PHONE file for Vibrant (only found 512 PIT and PDA files).
Please email or point me to one, if you have or know where.
Much appreciated

You'll find the Tar and Pit under Step 2.

Hi eggnoodle,
I do not see PHONE file in the package..., only the PIT and PDA files.
Will this fix the GT i9000 splash screen and other issue? Let me know..
thx
Perhaps you misunderstood, but I was not looking for the TAR and PIT files. I am looking for the PHONE file.
Thx
If you're looking for stock rom then you can find it here

hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in...as I'm a newbie myself.

Hi seedofchaos,
I have flashed back to stock many a time, to install ROMS, etc. but this has not restored the Vibrant initial splashscreen. This first splash only changed after I used a GT i9000 PHONE file with ODIN.
If you can direct me to a PHONE file to use with ODIN, I would appreciate it.
I have read about the aoi toolbox but it is more than I was looking for at moment. I just need the PHONE file for the Vibrant T959, please.
Flashing the Samsung Vibrant to stock firmware does not require a PHONE file to be selected in Odin.
You might have heard that for some other phone, but for this phone all that is required is a .tar file and a .pit file which has already been linked to.
Edit: Seems like you might just have to flash a vibrant kernel. Look into flashing that.

No sir, I am not trying to flash back to stock. I am not trying to flash to stock. I know how to do that with TAR and PIT, but that is not what I am trying to do.
I need the PHONE file to restore the initial boot splash and to get the phone to stop identifying as a GT i9000 in some apps, which it does. This behavior started when I used a GT i9000 PHONE file in ODIN.
Sorry for the confusion this is causing, but if anyone has it, I need a PHONE file for Vibrant T959.
thanks

We understand what you are trying to do. You want to get the old boot splash back the only way to do that is to flash a stock rom. Jfd will do the trick. Otherwise you'll need to have a custom kernel like overstock flashed through clockworkmod.

Well, I have flashed JFD twice using ODIN, but no cigar.
I did so in the process of installing a new ROM.
Is there something I am missing? Current ROM is Simply Galaxy 3 rc2 based on 2.3.3
Thanks for all help
I think you need vibrant sbl.bin/boot.bin. Look here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756832&page=2
You can ask Jellette for bootloader.
It sounds to me like you flashed the i900 sbl and boot.bin in other words your phone has the i900 boot loader. You'll need to find the files to flash the t959 boot loader however be VERY VERY careful doing so as you have about a 50/50 chance of hard bricking your phone when doing so. The files aren't available on xda for that reason. You're only shot is finding a dev who has said files and is willing to help you out. Good luck!

Firstly flash Indroid 4.1 :
Link To Indroid 4.1 [Part 1]
Link To Indroid 4.1 [Part 2]
Once the download is complete, extract using WinRAR/7Zip. The 'package' is the .tar file you find inside. Flash it as 'One-Package' using Odin.
Here is the link to the OPS File :
OPS File
How to Wipe Cache :
After flashing 4.1, reboot into Recovery by pressing and holding Volume Up + Volume Down + Menu Button + Power Key. The phone will boot into CWM. Scroll down (using the volume keys) and select (using the menu key) the option that says : "Wipe Cache". Ignore error messages (if any). Click on Reboot System.
From what I see, Indroid 4.3 is an update.zip file. Which means, you need to have CWM already installed. After installing 4.1, download 4.3.
Download Link for Indroid 4.3
Now follow these instructions :
rudolf895 said:
Instructions to install the Update.zip:-
Put the Zip file into SD card(dont extract)
Do not re-name the .zip file.
Get into recovery.
Using Volume Keys navigate to "Install zip from sdcard"
Choose zip from sdcard.
Navigate to the file you copied to sd card.
Hit home key when selected
Select yes.
Wait for the update.zip to install and finish
Then hit reboot system 26 now
And your should be done.

REALLY appreciate it. *pushes thanks button*
oh ya, about the boot.bin and sbl.bin
do i delete them to retain my i5801 boot screen? or to make sure my phone doesn't get hard bricked? or both?
so if i delete them, there is NO WAY how i can ruin my phone?
sorry for being so cautious but it's my first time flashing, and i kind of lost my bill. so my phone is out of warranty. and if it does get hard bricked, that'll be bloody expensive.
thanks for the earlier post though.

Yes. If you delete boot.bin and sbl.bin, you will retain your I5801 bootscreen and you ll not get your phone hardbricked. You can manually delete them or stock firmwares without boot.bin and sbl.bin are available here in XDA. Check the development section.
k, thanks. last question : according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873645
in step 4, it says :
"4) Check protect ops checkbox (Don’t check this if you are flashing I5801 with I5800 firmware for the first time.)"
i'm using an i5801, and i want to flash InDroid. but is InDroid i5800 or i5801 firmware? so should i check the box or no?
answer this and i'll be able to FINALLY flash my phone.
like i said, sorry to be so cautious over even petty details but if something goes wrong, i'm screwed because i lost my bill so i'm pretty much out of warranty (also, because i rooted my phone, so the bill doesn't matter).

And yes, you can definitely flash it!
Okay, dude. sorry to bring up this post again but i had (yet another) internet-not-working-days. Anyway, i downloaded the two Indroid 4.1 parts and they're 001 and 002 files. WinRAR says it might be broken or damaged, or it doesn't recognise it. Also, I can't seem to download the 4.3 update. Is there any other site where it is hosted?
And I currently use DDJP2, but everywhere on the forum people use JPM or now DDJP4. I can flash Indroid, or any custom ROM no matter what stock firmware i'm using right? Or does that also matter?

No problemo.
Download HJSplit and use it to join the split archives (InDroid 4.1 CWM Clean.7z.001 and InDroid 4.1 CWM Clean.7z.002).
Or, try this Torrent Link. Might be slow, but its bound to work!
And yes, you can flash whichever ROM you wan't. Hell, I didn't even know which firmware I was on the first time I flashed a Custom ROM!
Incase you just can't download the InDroid package, move on to Kyrillos' ROM. Its equally good.
Good luck
Hi guys ive put the lightning 1.5 custom rom on my sgs2,its running great,BUT,i would like to have the stock 2.3.3 on my pc so that i can go back to stock if need be,so if anyone has a link for it please let me know,and also how to i get rid of yellow warning triangle on boot up?and how to i install custom boot animations?thanks in advance guys!!
Here is the thread which has stock firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
The yellow triangle will go off once you flash the stock kernel. But to clear the flash counter in download mode you need usb jig.
For boot animation place the custom boot animation zip file in system/media. You can use root explorer to do this.

Just read the thread that was linked to and many questions will be answered before they are asked.
i have rooted my phone awhile ago . unfortunatly im not that familiar with things though and need some simple directions on how to root the phone and what files to use. please help.
MODEL NUMBER: SPH-D700
FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.2.1
BASEBAND VERSION: S700.0.5S.DK28
BUILD NUMBER: FROYO.DK28
HARDWARE VERSION: D700.0.5
Wow...it has been awhile...1st are you sure you are no longer rooted? You had to be to put DK28 on or did you use that update.zip. Right at the top of this section in the stickies you will find a thread by qbking77 with tons of youtube videos telling you how to do everthing on this phone so far.

i had to use odin to get back to stock because somehow i ended up taking the modem off the phone so i was stuck.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymN1H2e9YMk
The link to the OP is below the video with the files you need
Wow, Its been a long time.
Heres what you need to do
1. update your phone to the newest froyo update ec05. As its been a while I would not update to the gingerbread leaks, the rooting process will be more confusing.
Put your phone into download mode, by holding power and the 1 key. Odin to eco5 by using the third link on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813 which looks like this SPH-D700-EC05-8Gb-REL.tar. Take this download and put it into you pda slot and make sure other than pda the only thing that is checked is auto rebooot. After flashing you should be on ec05 stock.
2. Root your phone:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967 follow the instructions on this page root. After to reach clockwork mod simply press volume rocker down power button and camera button at the same time to reach clockwork mod
3: Install a rom or theme. Go to the development section and install them follwing instructions. I would suggest either an era rom, such as revolt or simply aosp v4 or srf1.2. Follow the instructions on their pages and dont forget to wipe first.
hope that helps

You can't OTA upgrade from a leak, pit is only needed when selecting re-partition. But I have used the re-partition option without .pit and never had a problem. The .tar actually has the pit information and Odin will auto-detect it.
Odin is the saviour tool for all Samsung devices. The method for flashing by Odin differs from device to device.
This thread will give step by step instructions on how to flash a stock rom from Odin on the GT-I9070/p :
A. Download Odin tools from here : http://d-h.st/3zJ
Pass : shaaan
B. Download the stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
Setting up Odin :
1. Make sure you have installed the necessary drivers for this device. The drivers can be installed from within KIES or seperately. (I will upload the drivers shortly).
2. Run Odin as administrator.
3. Setting up the files is divided in two types depending on the firmware type :
a. If the firmware is a multi package file, put the files in the corresponding sections.
ie. CSC file in CSC section, PDA file in PDA section.
b. If the firmware is a single package, add the single file in the PDA section.
4. Now that Odin is setup, put the phone in download mode. To do that, power off the phone and press 'home+power+volume down' buttons together. Keep the buttons pressed till Download mide appears.
5. Now that Odin and the phone are setup, connect the phone to the device. Odin will detect the device and show something like 'com port (1)'
6. Flash the device.
7. The flash will take 5 minutes for a full flash on average.
8. When the flashing is complete, DO NOT remove the device until Odin shows ' PASS '.
9. The device will reboot. Remove the device, go to recovery mode and do a factory/data reset.
That's it. Happy flashing peeps..!!
Awesome guide mate - messing around with our device without Odin is risky !
This should be sticky. A lot of people is asking how to revert to original FW, or similiar questions that is connected to reverting. And it is almost at the end of forum, and thay cant see it.
I pmed the mods to do it. But they won't budge..
Please pm them..

From what I was able to find in other guides it is ONLY 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' to be checked.
All others to be unchecked.
There are some posts not to bother with that .pit file that is inside Odin .zip file.
Odin package from sammobile got 2 .pit files for 8GB - GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G and GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6 and one for 16GB
(at least paired with XEO region XXLD1) not only that one we got in link form 1st post.
I was also able to find some info that if you use .pit check also 'Re-Partition'.
Now I am curious about if It would be good idea for me to actually Re-Partition my phone - bought it used (not new) and my PC detects only 4GB of internal SD. Will it increase custom binary counter? (so far it is at 0 and I would rather keep it that way)
Is it going to fix that issue so I will be able to use all 8GB (minus system partition)?
If so how to use it and what .pit file to take?
.pit only, re-partition only and run it once, then single-package as PDA with reboot and F. Reset on another flash run?
Or maybe all at once?
BTW you guys ROCK.

It is normal to have 4GB on internall SD. The rest of it goes to system partition, application partition and RAM I think...

googled a bit more and found it out too :crying:
BTW - both of those 8GB .pit files are identical (according to 'comp' tool in windows) so there is no reason to use re-partition - other than sth went totally wrong and you are trying to recover from brick or sth serious as this .pit file is already on your device.
Just flashed unbranded stock for XEO region - original one was branded.
NOTE to anyone who is still thinking about safety of this method:
After initial reboot - when it was reconfiguring in recovery mode - or however you will call it (just before odin should say 'pass' - still in that little font screen) windows started to reinstall usb drivers - odin log in bottom corner said 'disconnected' and even then my newly flashed ROM is working as it should. I would rather keep it connected till Odin confirms all went as intended but in case of similar issue - do not get heart attack

How are you? I´m new on the i9070 threads!!! I´ve had others phones before, like SG2, xperia sola, live with walkman... so, i need the password to descompress odin... i search on thread but i don´t found it...
SORRY I found the password... shaaan
Of what I understand, can I test an unlimited number of stock firmware and the binary counter remain 0?
If I flash an unbranded firmware can I use SIM cards from other providers?
Now my phone is branded and I can not use SIM cards from other providers.
