[GUIDE] Sprint sph p100 stock firmware RECEOVERY: last resort.

Ok i decided i post what i did to recovery my sprints tab from a bad kernel flash that i didn't install clock work recovery, I thought my tab was a lost cause which i even chatted with hsn were i bought mine at for a replacement which would've took up to 30days.. So awhile i wait for that i decided to try and get it working till i get the prepaid label lol
Matter what i did it kept getting stuck at the samsung screen and couldn't get into recovery but download mode work luckly. i tried all kernels listed and it still got stuck which at the time i thought my tab was bricked or semi brick.
What i did is keep searching for the stock firmware which was hard to find but i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9753941#post9753941
Heres a direct link http://www.multiupload.com/WDKOUJSM2G
Thanks to ZoinksS2k for the tab sprint no modem firmware
And downloaded the stock no modem firmware the modem one is listed too but it will kill your gps and 3g might not work so i just did the no modem one.
So i downloaded it and odin was package with it and i couldn't get it to detect my tab in download mode ony when the tab was off it detected it..
So i tried heimdall and at first i couldn't get it to flash the start button was grayed out because i was putting the tar file into pda/code so i open the tar file and found factory.rfs param.ifs and cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs so i loaded all thoes in the heimfall boxes and than loaded the stock zimage which is in the tar too.
And than i flashed and saw the samsung screen and it went right pass it and played the samsung splash screen so i knew i was getting somewhere so it got stuck on the next samsung screen again.. So i turn it off and hold home button and volume up button than i push the power button and hold all 3 buttons till i saw the samsung screen and i left go the power button and the stock recovery loaded right up
So i did the wipe data/factory reset and i also did the wipe cache data just in case but im sure just the factory reset would work, And i restarted the tab and it went pass all screens and it loaded android!!! And everything was working 3g wifi gps and everything else.
So hopefully this guide will help others as a last resort if you ony get the samsung screen and download mode ony,If you get the receovery than just do the factory wipe.
This is worth a try first than sending it back to samsung and having to wait too get your tab back It sure saved me from having to send it back too hsn or samsung.
If you want you can thank me if this help you for providing the info

Gordesky,
Any idea how to go back to stock firmware + stock modem and all that from using the voodoo kernel? I have CWM Recovery 3.0 working.

Because, after going into Voodoo CWM Recovery, using wipe data/factory reset still keeps the kernel that I installed on - which is what makes my camera screwy.

If you want to go back to fully stock then follow his instructions and flash the stock kernel from the Zephyr thread. I actually am in the same boat as the OP and followed his instructions and now I'm fully back to stock.

Yep just do what I said which the tar file also have the stock kernel too.
Right now im on the voodoo kernel which works perfect except that cdrom problem but camera works for me so im gonna still with.this kernel so far. It seems the new sprint update doesint work right with the voodoo kernel problaby why I dont have any problems because I didint install the sprint update.
So when you go back too stock and want too give the voodoo another try dont install the sprint update when it asks you too, And everything should work other than the sdcard cdrom problems, Which I can deal with till it gets fixed because I do love the speed of this voodoo kernel
And the sound

Thank you gordesky1 for posting your experience because I was going through the exact same thing and I was at a loss as to how to resolve it. Unfortunately I did install the update but I'm pretty sure if I flash the same files again that I will go back to the original rom if that's necessary. The big problem with that is that the exchange fix in the update was something i was waiting for =\ so I think i'm going to wait and see if some of these issues are fixed in the next update but I wonder if we have to get Boushh a Sprint tab though =\ every day I curse myself for not getting a t-mobile or at least a Verizon tab *sigh*

No problem
Ya tell me about it... Bad thing for me is the sprint was my ony option which i got it because hsn were i bought it from had a flex pay on this tab which they ony have the sprint tab, and at the time i couldint pay 400 or 600$ right out. And i also got a 3years warranty on top of it from them even if i break it or drop it anywere which i pretty much got for free because they made a mistake at first with some software
The other tabs have cheaper 3g too like 5gb for 15 too 30$ a month.. But so far sprint is treating me good and the 3g has been stable so far and pretty fast loading webpages and can usely watch a youtube video but dont want too use up my monthy usage lol i usely use up too 500 too 600mbs max out of 2g and i useit every day and even download apps with it when im not near a wifi spot and listen too pandora too so i was suprized i didint get close too the 2gb limit yet.
Hopefully this thread will help more and save them from having too send it back too samsung or were they got it from, i know how it feels not having this tab which i use everyday at work.

I knew not to flash the modem from the restore package posted but when I tried to restore I used the .pit and the .tar. Failed at modem. So, being dumb I flashed the modem file. ugh.
Now I know all you need to do is flash the .tar, nothing else, no pit.

Your Post Saved Me!!!!!

Your welcome and glad it helped I figure it was worth posting sense it brought my tab back too life which i thought i would've had too sent it back and waited a month or so, And wanted others too get there tab back too life with out playing the wait game which i really hate .. lol

this worked! I was able to get rid of CWM, my tab is 100% stock again! thanks a bunch!

I flash the above .tar and .pit with Odin and I still can't get rid of CWM. I had CWM 3.0 working. Then I flashed a Kernel (Khasmek) with kernel flasher and the damn thing froze on the splash screen. So I odin and it doesn't do a full factory reset. CWM folder is still there. Does anbody know how to completely revert back to stock firmware?
I basically want to start over from scratch and never use Kernel flasher.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Flash the zImage from the stock rom in the recovery slot using hiemdall and it will flash the stock recovery over cwm.

I performed that action and it works it does get rid of CWM but now I am still unable to install sprint updates they fail half way into it

I am having the exact same problem, really wish I had read your post before I attempted to get CWM on my sprint galaxy tab.
I believe the update failed for me due to mismatch baseband (EB28) and system build (DJ30), I am looking for a roto backup copy of system build EB28, if anyone have it, please help and upload!
Many thanks.

I flashed the zImage with heimdall and it still wont do a sprint system update and also I cannot do the cwm process again to format to ext4.

Check out the newly leaked EA24 flasher, it will update both system and baseband to EA24 and you will be able to update after that.

Im a pretty good listener if im given descent instructions lol please by all means HELP lol

Soft brick trying to get into CWM Recovery?

I was wondering how it was possible to brick your phone (which somehow happened to me..) just by trying to get into CWM Recovery by doing the 3 button press.. As it is possible because it happened to me earlier today I was just wondering if it was a step that I did wrong.. Also I had nothing installed except flashing the Froyo EB01 modem which flashed successfully and than reflashed cwm recovery all which worked though I forgot I had to reboot fast or else samsung would replace cwm. So when I flashed a second time and than tried rebooting into cwm that's when it got stuck and bricked..
I got it solved earlier thanks to Adranalyne.
If anybody needs his thread for the all in one odin:

Odin it back to stock. Either Dl01 or Eb01. Both files include everything for you to recover your phone ans be able to boot back up past the samsung logo.

Taking it back to EB01 every time can be a bit extreme. There are CWM tar files that you can use to just flash CWM with Odin. I've used them when my phone would not boot into recovery. Remember the best way to get to "Download" mode is to pull the battery and while holding the down vol button plug it into your PC. I know thats common knowledge but it's always good to put it out there. Other techniques can prevent Odin from establishing a connection.
I've even seen complete Super Clean tars up to 2.6. I don't remember where but when 2.7.1 bricked my phone I just used Odin to flash a 2.6 tar and my phone was back to normal. Now I use that ROM image instead of EB01 when an update fails.
I would stress that any ROM compiled by someone else is not going to be endorsed by the Dev that created the update. I just took a chance because I was already down and it worked great.

i think i just broke my 2nd SGS

hey fellas
i just went to go from 2.3 back to darky ROM and my phone is having a fit, its constantly rebooting at the first boot screen, i still got download mode though
no matter what i try nothing works.
have tryed darky RE, JM5, JL2, JH1, DV3 the JVK, download EZBase now to see what happens
this is my 2nd phone i have ****ed up doing this i think

Are any of those stock rom's you are trying, or are they all Darky's roms?
Flash a stock rom, hopefully that will get you up and running. After that, format your sd card.

couple of them are stock, none worked.
downloading a march 2011 stock firmware from samfirmware now, aswell as EZBase rom

If darkys is a 2.2.1 based rom then you need to flash to that base first.
Try a stock 2.2.1 firmware in odin with all 3 files and tick repartition. I use jpu and always works.

MY fix for broken phones is .
Use Odin flash Eclair with pit 512 and repartition checked .
Phone works flash base Froyo .
Phone works you can now customize as required .
Choose a rom this time that does not kill phone .
jje

thanks fellas, will try that.
i've flashed about 5 ROMS and tryed repartion and none have worked, will try a eclair, gotta go download one

ok, JPU did not work. 3 files, re-partion and 512 pit
oh dear

When you say jpu didn't work, did the process actually start in Odin and complete?
If not, just reboot download mode again, close and restart odin and try again.

yeah it said PASS, just got the stupid white reboot thing.
JE3 ( 2.1 ) halfed worked, it went into recovery, dont some **** then booted. then i got something like "kernel panic pload" with all this red writing ????????
i think that might be cause i got a 2.2 kernel flashed?

yes, happened that to me too. If it;s not starting anymore, than you must rewrite it's bootloader with JTAG...JIG won;t help. The point is, when you tried to go back on 2.2.1 you should first flash the bootloader with heimdal. With bootloader updated you shouldn't have any problem flashing back JM8 or something
sorry for you

Edit. Just read you can not power up. Go with Jobiza's post.
Flash just a kernel in PDA ie voodoo or speedmod k13. Nothing else and auto reboot checked. After that flash away.
This happened to me and I tried different combos for hours till this method and it worked.
Good luck mate.

Don't know did you tried it, but if you are able to go to Download Mode, download JVK with bootloaders from XDA, start Odin check Re-Partition and Phone Bootloader Update select filef from new FW connect phone and it should do the magic I hope.

boot loop (black and white text)

hi,
info : bell GT-i900m
rom : darky's 9.2
so heres my problem. my phone crashed yesterday so i removed the battery and then when I launch it back i got stock in the Darky's boot screen. I was also unable to go to CWM to update to the last version of Darky's rom so i used odin to flash the original 2.1 and now whatever version of the firmware i try to flash on the phone install successfully in odin but i get a "Galaxy S GT-9000" that appear in loop every 5-10 second until i remove the battery. I still have access to download mode....
anybody have a solution ? should i install a stock rom and go to warranty ? or should I just trow it 2 second in the microwave so they dont see that i installed costum rom ?

Sounds like corrupt and faulty movinand. Send it back for warrantee. Don't even worry about what rom is on it, it's a hardware fault. I sent mine back with a half booting custom froyo with speedmod, they didn't care. If you want to be safe, just flash a stock rom quickly. Don't microwave it...

Can you boot the stock 2.1 you installed through Odin?

Flash jpc with repartition.
Flash jl2 on top. If that still doesnt work, then its most like the good ol' faulty chip.

Flashing the JL2 on top/after JPC is done WITHOUT repartition!!! just clarifying that, learnt from reading on here and helping a couple of people with them, lol.
(the i9000m's don't like repartitioning and flashing done at the same time, needs restart between them.. not a clue why, they're "special", lol.)

Flash Boot and spl.bin with heimdall. This is The solution.

It is definitely your bootloader.... flash jl2 firmware but there is a fixed one somewhere here on xda as the one from samfirmware is missing dbdata. Worked like a charm for me. (I also have it on my laptop somewhere pm me and ill find it) then you should flash superoptimized kernel or speedmod kernel via Odin with reboot unchecked. You should have recovery back. I've been through this issue and spent hours trying to get back to normal.
I have a few files to get you running if you get stuck....like I said just hit me up with a pm

How I almost made a brick

My 2 cents..
I was using ICSSGS from 1st RC. But it becomes very laggy after 3-4 weeks, so factory reset every month was necessary. I decided to change ROM.
I installed DOC's v12 ( I assume is is the same Doc that was cooking ROMs for my Omnia, and I was werry pleased with those ROMs). Did wipe, cleaned cache, cleaned Dalvik, formatted /system, flashed ROM, wipe again and it was working. But after two days it was still very laggy (talking about waiting for response for 3-5 seconds) so I wanted something faster. I had choose this Openkang milestone 6.
And then the fun begins.
Downloaded, copied to sd, booted to CWM, all wipes, flashed ROM, flashed gapps and went to bootloop. 3 button combo worked only for download mode, not for entering CWM. There was no way I could access CWM. I even could not enter Android boot (don't know exactly how it is called, but it saved my TF101 more than once.)
So after 1/2 hour of unsuccessful trying to get to CWM, phone just shows logo for icyglitch kernel and went to boot again, I have seen that only option to do anything was Odin. I downloaded Odin, downloaded some 2.3.6 ROM and downloaded CWM for that rom.
First I had to find driver for phone. I remembered phone on ICS wants nexus drivers so I installed those, booted phone to download mode and flashed 2.3.6 rom with Odin.
Phone booted, boot animation was on screen, but it did not boot to working Android. I didn't care too much, just booted to download mode again, flashed CWM and now I had at least access to my sd card. Did all wipes again, flashed DOC again and went to bootloop (Icyglitch kernel logo) again.
....
So I repeated Odin procedure, and when I had working CWM I flashed good old ICSSGS 4.02. This one worked.
I had spent 4 hours to solve this problem mostly because I was not full prepared to flash.
-I had no working USB driver on PC
-I did not had Odin
-I do not have ADB installed. Even if I had it, I don't know much how to use it.
-I did not have any working 2.3.6 ROM WITH bootloader
-Nandroid backup... hmmmm... what is that? Bah, don't need it...
Luckily I flashed my phone so many times I already roughly know what to do, but I still have experienced my share of "OMGOMGOMGOMG".
My advice to new and seasoned flashers:
Don't be cocky. After million of successful flashes once will go wrong. If nothing else Murphy will kick in. And when something goes wrong, be sure that all that you need to rescue phone is on your HDD and you know WHERE it is and how to use it. And read guides. And when you finish reading read them again, then go to sleep and flash next day.
Now I'm even more satisfied with myself because I do not flash other people's phones. If it happens that I create a 400€ brick, it will be at least mine.
If this helps anyone to restore phone, click Thanks button :good:

Flashing can be frightful. I'm sure every seasoned flasher here on XDA has had their fair share of OMG moments. I know I sure have.
Future advice: after you lost recovery, you didn't need to go back to GB. Stratosk (of Semaphore Kernel) has a .tar version of his ICS kernel that can be flashed with Odin, which will then restore your CWM. This would have been a faster, simpler fix for you. Keep that in mind for next time.

I would suggest you try SlimICS the next time you get sickend of (laggy) ROM. I for one, absolutely love SlimICS, and as all, it does have some drawbacks (no lag, though) when you're pimping it out too much.

Too bad I didn't know that. Somehow I was convinced that no ICS rom or kernel is flashable via Odin. But Later when everything worked and I finally had time to breathe I thought that I didn't need to go to GB. I think maybe only to flash any GB CWM with Odin would be enough. All I needed was working CWM, not entire rom.
Anyway, I'll try Slim now, let's hope I won't need to rescue phone again.

Happens to everyone! 2years in and I accidentally wiped my sd card yesterday! Was a long night! It's a fast learning curve but fun when you get the hang of it!

Always brick my phone in the past, nearly one time a day
Well some tips for flashing:
- On stock ROMs, try flashing all partition firmware (i.e. 3 files in Odin) with re-partition checked before finding for help.
- Always backup you data with apps like Titanium backup, I don't usually use nandroid because it is not so flexible.
- Get GB bootloader before going to CM based ROMs, and go back to froyo bootloader if you want to have froyo back (search EzBoot for this).
- CM based ROMs and stock ROMs use a different filesystem, so flash all partition firmware before going back from CM to stock.
- Same reason, you will mostly get bootloops when going to CM ROMs. In this case, just hold the 3-button combo to enter recovery and flash it again.
- Same reason again, don't use CWM2 recovery to flash CM.
In case that anyone don't know, CM means CyanogenMod.
Hope this helps!

I'm not sure if the fact that I managed to rescue my phone is good. Now I still don't have reason to buy SGS II.
And yes, Slim is woking, you can see my new signature. :highfive:

Managed to flash properly before I did

First time i flashed my phone was a heart in mouth moment when it boot looped for the first 2 or 3 times.
Swore I'd never flash my phone again. Over a year later and my phone has gone through countless changes and still going strong.
The only other issue I've had with customizing my phone is telling my flatmate about it. Problem being that he doesn't quite understand the concept of 'rooting' or 'flashing'. At least not in the geek sense of the words.

Yesterday,i was reverting to stock from ics you know...And rooted JW4 with cf.then i wanted to flash semaphore's 2.7.4.I am %100 sure that there was nothing wrong.Just semaphore over cf.Did that ten times!... so here it is;
when flashing process started odin gave fail WHILE flashing zImage.not after or before.Just at the middle of flashing zImage.
I dunno why maybe that one was a random error of odin who nows....
Anyway after it said fail,phone shutted down itself from download mode..First thing that i tried,entering to recovery.But phone was not responding.No boot logo or..just black screen.
I took a deep breath.Restarted my pc while it is restarting i put out the battery from phone wait for 30sec.
Then after pc started up ,i opened odin and put the files etc etc.
Then magical thing happened
I tried directly to the d.mode it worked and flashed JVQ then got JW4 from kies
This was my story...

I think we should start a membership here. Anyone who wants to join must expirience "OMG" factor for at least 20 min. I had it 4-5 times, if I count my hassling with Omnia too.
Isn't something interesting? I mean, look at us. We flash phones, sometimes we manage to make it useless, we spend hours for rescuing them, all that time we swear to god that we will never do that again, but 5 minutes after we manage to make our phones work we are ready for next flashing. Here in Slovenia we use to say that even donkey goes on ice only once, but looks like we newer learn...

My current favorite thread, it's refreshingly honest to see people laughing at themselves, and sharing their disasters, we all do it, in fact that's why we do it! Nice to see so much humility

About not bricking other people's phones....
Right now I'm in the process of bricking my boss's phone. He wants ICS on his Dell Streak 5, even if it is only pre-alpha ... Wish me luck.
