[REQ] original Roms for XT720

Buddies,
can anyone upload the original roms for Milestone XT720? (SG, Kr, and other)
So we can do more testing worry free. If anything goes wrong, we can just flash it back to original. It would be nicer if someone can also show how to flash the rom.

Flashing Guide by Hahutzy
Hahutzy said:
Alright, I just crashed my phone into an infinite FC loop by messing with system/app, so a reflash was in order.
Here's how I successfully flashed it back to stock using Windows 7 32bit (dense text ahead):
1) Search somewhere along the lines of "RSDLite - download here" on google
2) Go inside first link, download the file that's named somewhere along the lines of "RSDLite_4.5.3.zip"
3) Install it.
4) Go to http://and-developers.com/sbf:xt720
5) Download the 2nd Full Flash rom, the one where the provider is "Southeast Asia"
6) Unzip that file, you now have a .sbf folder (not file)
7) Put that .sbf folder in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
8) Shut down phone, take out battery
9) Hold Power + Volume Down + Camera buttons all at once
10) Put in the battery while holding those buttons
11) Phone is now in bootloader mode (screen looks like a command prompt)
12) Release the buttons, and plug USB to computer and phone
13) Open RSD Lite, your phone should be detected as connected (Device name was like "S OMAP 3440" or some BS like that)
14) Click "..." to browse for the .sbf file in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
15) In RSD Lite, click to highlight your connected XT720, and then click "Start". The first column beside the connected phone should now have a green icon thing, and the ROM is being flashed.
16) DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE, THE CABLE, OR THE COMPUTER! (I went and took a dump)
17) When the "Status" column in RSD Lite says "Please manually power up this phone", so shut it down and power it again. Note: The status stays in "Checksum Group 37" for a verrrrryyyy long time before saying "Rebooting". I thought it got stuck there, but it ended up ok.
18) Your XT720 is now reflashed to stock.
19) You can now close RSD Lite. It will complain saying you will damage the attached device, but I pulled it out wayyyy before this (I unhooked it when it told me to reboot manually) and my XT720 is not dead. You may choose to close RSD Lite before unhooking your XT720.
20) Post your results in this thread and confirm or reject my procedure.
spiderx_mm, you may quote this on your first post for others' easy access to this procedure if you so wish to.

Sorry, can i know how to put the phone into bootloader mode? I cant not find in google and this forum for xt720.

press volume and power together

can not go to boot loader. Already press power and volume button

first you need to switch off the phone, then press camera button and power and keep those pressed until recovery icon appears. THEN press volume up and power, if I remember this correctly.

Hi, I'm a newbie. I want to upgrade the OS of my GT540 phone from Android 1.6 to 2.1 but I'm not sure what to do. I read some posts but some of the technical terms like fastboot and rooting are new to me. I already downloaded the drivers and kdz files. Help please?

how to use clockworks recovery
when phone is off, press and hold power and home button to switch on in clockworks recovery mode.
to scroll up or down use volume buttons.
to select press call button.
to cancel or go back press end call button.

DONT DO THIS
If you follow this, and flash with fastboot rom, you cannot flash anymore with original rom.
For now I suggest that you flash with original rom only.

Doubt About Flashing to 2.2

Hi, im about to flash my i5800 to 2.2, but came what i think is a simple question : the firmware rar, come with 4 md5 files,
I5800OXXJPF-CSC-MULTI-OXX.tar.md5
I5800XXJP4_PHONE.tar.md5
I5800XXJPF-REV02-Bootloader-low-CL794643.tar.md5
I5800XXJPF-REV02-PDA-CL794643.tar.md5
Well, on the tutorial, says to use the "one Package" option, should i load the PDA file on it?
thanks

No. Do not use one package option. JPF firmware released diffrently. You need to rename all 4 files to remove .md5. Then select individual files ODIN.

Do not use one package option
load individual files by pressing the BOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC buttons.
Renaming is not required

Did you also select the bootloader? If yes, then there is a possibility of bricking?
Try the following:
1. Remove battery
2. press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds
3. Put in the battery
4. Press volume down + home + power key
This should take you to download mode. If it does, select all files one by one except bootloader. Also do not remove extension .md5. Odin will automatically check it.
Uncheck protect ops and upgrade.
If this fails, I dont have an idea. if someone else can help you it will be great else you will need to visit samsung service center. Act like you dont know anything

well wait, are you saying i should NOT use the bootloader? thanks for all the help guys, i just want to know that nothing goes wrong
so, on odin, i will put :
Boot: NONE
Phone: I5800XXJP4_PHONE.tar.md5
PDA: I5800XXJPF-REV02-PDA-CL794643.tar.md5
CSC: I5800OXXJPF-CSC-MULTI-OXX.tar.md5
EPS: None
is that right or should i put I5800XXJPF-REV02-Bootloader-low-CL794643.tar.md5 on boot option?
thanks again

There's no need to reflash the bootloader. It, however, minimizes the risk of bricking your device if you don't.

ok, really thanks, hope thats all i need to know, since there is no specifc tutorial for jpf

guys really thanks for everything, everything is running perfect, on my first attempt
thanks and screw samsung wth the official update lol!

panic!! help unbrick

i have been doing alot of rom upgrade via clockwork and this is the first time my phone brick.
i tried the vol up, vol down and power button at the same time and it just brings me to "vibrant samsung" screen.
i also tried removing battery, hold vol up, vol down and insert battery, it goes to a screen where it says downloading. but didnt move for hours.....
and if i switch on normally, it just keep restarting on vibrant screen.
how do i solve this problem?

You have to use odin to flash back to stock....
That's what the download screen is for.

From that downloading mode screen you can odin it back to stock.

removing battery, hold vol up, vol down and insert battery, Have Odin up and running then plug in your cable. Then let go of the button

thx to KopyKatKiller
INSTRUCTIONS!
1.Your Device must be in DOWNLOAD mode to use ODIN.
2.Get your phone into Download mode by holding vol down and power.
3.THEN connect your phone to the USB. (some folks have had luck doing it in reverse..connecting the USB then Power and vol down)
4.Open Odin and load each file with it's corresponding field..PIT,PDA,CSC etc. (In this case we just use the PDA and PIT)
5.Don't check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)
6.Hit "start"! be patient!
NOTE: COM3 worked fine for me. COM should not matter as long as you are using the correct drivers.
Finally we get some U.S love from samsung firmwares.
For those looking the Nandroid method it is in the post below but only recovers ,system, data, cache and datadata. Not your kernel/recovery or BASEBAND/RADIO (Modem.bin)

sorry, what i meant was the link to download odin.
all link by "justanothercrowd" is not working

Get in download mode like you have before then..
Use the Vibrant Toolkit and then click Flash to Stock and then press "Reboot into Download + Start ODIN" (ignore the "Check that USB debugging mode is enabled" because you're already in download mode), it'll open up ODIN and then follow the instructions for using ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
From bay_wolf's post, some information about setup of odin,
When you select the PIT and PDA files, it should default to the installed location and if not then browse to where you installed AIO Vibrant Toolbox as the files are in there.

Click to collapse
Note: there are instructions on how to use odin on the Flash To Stock screen. All the files you'll need will be downloaded with the download for the vibrant toolkit.
I've had this problem and freaked when i couldn't find a download to Odin, so I used the vibrant toolkit and it worked.
Here's the download link from his thread (credit to bay_wolf): http://www.multiupload.com/G3LUINMUE0

THANX ALOT GUYS!!!!!!!
now gonna start to update it to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021383

just another quick question, which rom are you guys using? i came from bionix rom to the simply galaxy v3.0, it doesnt seem to b fast and smooth. any other recommended rom?

Try some EDT roms...beast...Malice, Trigger, or Bi Winning.
Flash back to stock too.

I use simply Galaxy with Crysis Sensation theme (TWiz 4.0 + tweaks) & DamianGTO Gold v2.0 kernel (not available on XDA). Then use an app called Blade buddy to set up all Stagefright tweaks (under advanced settings) and debug.sw.hf then menu > apply > save. Quadrant scores 2200+.
Trigger is really good (2.2) and there's a cool new theme called Vibrant HD for it.
Haven't tried CM7 but it looks cool, lots of themes with it.

[Rooted] How do I backup my device from PC (Device won't boot)

**Before you comment, all I need are links to guides. You don't have to tell me step for step, I wouldn't do that do ya**
So earlier this week I was tweaking some settings through 3D Toolbox and I managed to essentially kill my phone. Now whenever my phone 'boots' it will show my startup screen with its usual vibration, after which the screen will go blank and it will not boot.
I killed it by enabling kernel exceptions in partition cleaning in the 3D Toolbox app; after I rebooted my device as told, it never booted again. I'm only trying to get my device image off it so I can dump the phone and start again, keep in mind I'm still learning about the operating system so I was bound to break something lol.
I'm worried what I've done has trashed my system image and I've essentially lost what was on my phone (lets hope that isn't the case :crying if anyone knows what I've done wrong and how to fix it please help a brotha out :fingers-crossed: Also when I try to go into recovery mode I'm greeted with "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" if that helps, as I have no idea what it means.

If you want to pull off the data, try installing TWRP, booting into TWRP, mount the data partition, and copy data to your PC.
If you don't need anything on the phone, you could use Odin to flash the latest stock ROM.

Thanks for the reply! But I'm very new to rooting and such and only touch what I know and what I need so I don't know how to go about this. If you could be so kind as to tell me the steps or to give me a guide I'd be on my way.
Thanks,

Alright I've found a TWRP for it, do I download this and load it through ODIN? I'd still need to get a backup of my device before I'd wanna load an image up, so I still need a program to do that. Any suggestions for a program like that?

Again, I have no idea what I'm doing with these, if you have a guide for stuff like this I'm all over that.

Step 2) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up.
Step 3) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy Note 3 to your computer.
Step 4) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue (or yellow) and will show the COM port number.
Step 5) Click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the " TWRP .tar" file.
Step 6) Tick "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
!!!!DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY!!!!
Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the flashing process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Reset " then a "Pass". your phone will restart

Joking... So follow all the steps written by JJEgan, except for Step 6 : DON'T tick "Auto reboot" then flash.
Step 7 : When Odin shows "Passed", unplug the phone and take off the battery for 10sec.
Step 8 : Put the battery back and directly boot to recovery (Vol+, Power, Home).

Try again but only check f reset time and flash.
When you see the word "RESET" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the buttons to boot into recovery.
