how to flash ddjp6 official indian froyo via odin?

i am asking this question bcoz i have flashed the official froyo for asia dxjpa
and the flashing way via odin was different cozz pit file 513 is used for flashing it.
so i wanted to know the right flashing way for ddjp6 froyo .. via odin
i downloaded the firmware ddjp6.. and it contains only one .tar file
so i just wanted to know the perfect flashing method
please dont advise me to do it through kies...
thanx

You can flash DDJP6 via odin the same way you flashed DXJPA without using any .pit file and it will work. As I have also flashed the other asian versions without using any .pit file (no .pit file recommended for firmwares with only one file on sam firmwares).

So How does the pit file affect anything ? I flashed DDJP6 with the .803 pit file. I take it that shouldn't be an issue ? Also, is the boot Galaxy "S" animation from the pit file ? I don't like the one I got from the asian froyo with the disjoint s... Does the Indian froyo have that too, or the one from eclair ?

Not sure about what exactly .pit file does but had a problem installing DXJPA earlier with .803pit (failed to flash) then tried with .513 and worked well.
haven't noticed the boot animation.

Did u move from 2.1 or unofficial 2.2?

i have a question..
if there is one tar file, should i put the file in just pda or PDA,PHONE AND CSc and then flash?

PDA for single tar file

Check my signature if you want PDA MODEM & CSC seperately for DDJP6.
You can also try to use XXJPY PDA, JP6 MOEDEM & CSC.

I clarification after flashing with Odin will all the setting & data reset to factory.
Or will all the personal data, Games, applications will remain.
One more thing if the Re-Partation in Unchecked (Not selected). Will the Odin keep my data as it is on the phone or it will reset to factory settings.

thanks..
so if i Root in the current jp6 im running, and it was updated by KIES, can i flash without removing the root by using ODIN?
And also i need to know possible best options to flash official firmwares.

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] Note N9005 modem flashing

Hello everyone,
I know this question showed up a couple of times before, but I'm confused about the whole situation.
I own a Note3 International version bough from an official Samsung retailer in Poland.
Updated to 4.4 KitKat through official Samsung OTA update and a month later decided to go with a custom room. Installed TWRP and Omega 14 rom. Everything is fine, but I can't flash any modem.
Currently I'm running XXUENB1 modem and tried flashing the latest XXUEND6 from Omega repos and XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base, but with no sucess.
Tried flashing two times with Odin and than pulling the battery etc. The modem version stays the same. In download mode, it says write protection enabled, is it of any concern?
Is it possible to flash a modem on my Note 3?
Thanks for any help.

Under some conditions it seems that modems are hard to be written on phones with certain bootloaders and a custom recovery - but with stock recovery it seems to work better (and it also works with Mobile Odin Pro).

Right, so I tried the Odin Pro and it says after booting to recovery "Memory lock in place - TriangleAway may fix this. Skipping flash."
So I downloaded TriangleAway, did its magic, but with no result.
Still can't flash because of memory lock.
What can I do next?
Should I flash a stock rom with never modem like this one?

Now I have a custom recovery TWRP 2.7.
Now trying stock... no go. Back with stock rom and recovery and still stuck with the old modem.
edit2: went stoch, rooted and tried to flash using mobile odin pro - no success because of write protection.

Could it be you need to Sim Unlock first? I'm sure I heard that somewhere. Give it a Google to see.

But I got the phone unlocked so there is no sim lock, what about this write protection?
Is there any way around it?
EDIT: I've tried with RegionLock Away it did it's magic but still I cant flash modems

Use triangle away. Even if the counter is zero, thew is a hidden counter that trips a write protect on the modem. After triangle away, it should work. Just be sure to follow the directions.

Yeah, your're right, I've messed it up completely.
Flashed a stock kernel, triangle away and odin pro... everything is fine. Flashed like crazy
Anyway manged to flashed the modem from XXUENC2 from ALEXNDR development base which is around 60MB's and has modem and modem #2 partitions. Question is how can I flash the modems from omega repos which are only 8MB and have one partition only. When flashing with Odin Pro version doesn't change, although flash is a success.

Are they modem.bin or the non-hlos files? Id really recommend doing modem flashes through desktop odin, especially if they're piece meal modems and not a full stock modem flash file.
Other than that I can't offer much assistance for non stock modems, but good luck in your endeavor, and glad I could point you in the right direction to at least get a stuck fladh to work. ?

The files are tar packed with a non-hlos.bin file inside.
Can I use those?

Those should be fine then. Might have to triangle away again first to remove the write lock again, but otherwise should be ok.

If you have 2 files modem.bin and non-hlos.bin on the sdcard, download this Terminal Emulator and try these commands: (required ROOT)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/non-hlos.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot

The problem is that modems from omega repos have only one file - non-hlos.bin.
They lack the modem.bin, for some reason.

You don't have to unzip the files from omega as they are tar and can be used in odin on computer(press pda look for your modem tar file & flash)

You can download the firmware for your device and extract to obtain the modem files.

If you still have a problem flashing the Modem, I used this 5 min. ago and it worked perfectly fine(used flashing instruction from x-note)
Download Odin3 v3.09 to your pc, download Modems from Omega(I used NC2) both GSM & LTE.
Put Odin and the Modems from Omega on PC Desktop.
Turn off your Cell Phone (power off normally). Take out your battery(wait 5 sec.) put it back in and boot in download mode(volume down+home+power) and than connect your phone to pc.
Open Odin and press AP and choose the GSM tar file from Omega.
Press start and wait for the phone to reboot.
Turn the phone off again and boot in download mode (same steps as before). Now look for the LTE tar file in AP and press start again.
You should now have your Modem Installed. Good luck mate

Firmware - HOME_CSC - Odin 3.10.7

How to flash the firmware (5 files in archive) to your s7edge?
AP, CP & BL I understand, but the 2 CSC-files...?
CSC -> there's a PIT inside and will wipe your device
HOME_CSC -> the data should stay on your device
Today I tried to update with HOME_CSC, everything was OK, but at the end Odin 3.10.7 FROZE at "meta-data" (this folder is in the HOME_CSC file): nothing happened anymore and I had to pull the cable
Smart Switch didn't recognize my S7edge anymore for the "Emergency Firmware Repair"!
Luckely, Odin did recognize my device and could install the firmware with the "normal" CSC-file and afterwards my device was reset...
I hope someone has a solution on this, because I don't want to install everytime again and again...

same happened to me. I have the same question...

How did you get your device working again?

Well, the flash went just fine. No problems except the device reset at factory settings. As brand new one....
But of course I would like to know how to flash without resetting the device.

I had the same problem yesterday when used Home_CSC... flashed again with normal CSC and went back to normal with a formated user data
We really need a solution to that... What would happen if we skipped the CSC file when flashing thru ODIN?

Flashing with CSC and not home_CSC will also reset your CSC.
Eg: I was on VODAFONE Romania and flashed stock unbranded using CSC. The result was I lost my ROM (from Romania) CSC, and defaulted to XEO from the multi CSC.
In this situation you cannot go back to your original CSC even after flashing using Smart Switch.
Rooting is the only option then and that will trip Knox.

anybody figured this out?

Just had the same problem flashing with HOME_CSC it got stuck in ODIN and had to pull the cable.
Had to turn off phone and boot again in download mode to flash again with a straight CSC.

CSC contains an instruction that allow Odin to wipe the DATA
Code:
--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip
--carry_out=csc_factory
--wipe_data
HOME_CSC contains instruction only to allow wipe of cache BUT the original HOME_CSC can cause Odin to freeze at the end of the flashing process.
Code:
--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip
--carry_out=csc_home
--wipe_cache
That's why you need to modify the HOME_CSC using the CYGWIN tool.

Just dont flash the home csc. I never did it. Everything work greats.

HOME_CSC is supported on Odin version 3.11 or later. It's okay to flash it now.

Sorry to revive this thread but when a downgrade is done from Nougat back to Marshmallow a factory reset via recovery must be required if flashing HOME_CSC. Otherwise just use normal CSC on downgrade.

thank you

Hello,
Where do I find a HOME_CSC file for Samsung S6 Active SM-G890A device?

Paying to get this fixed

My s7 edge got stuck at boot screen so i reflashed stock rom and rerooted then restored the backup i had, it said fail because of low memory while restoring the system and now when i try to reflash the stock rom on odin it says model dismatch fail.
If someone could help me fix this I'm willing to pay something decent, but not a whole lot lol

Re-download the stock rom and flash it

i did that lol thats when it says "model dismatch fail"

Do you have custom recovery?

Do you have a custom recovery?
Do you have the right and the newest Odin Version?
Did you try it with another transfercable or USB-Port?
Do you have the newest samsung drivers?
Did you have any Odin problems like this before?
My suggestion:
Just do a full wipe on your phone. Downlad the newest Odin Version. Get your device into download mode (maybe try different transfercables or USB Ports and the newest samsung drivers) and see if it works now.
If yes, flash the right Bootloader and Modem for your device and then flash the rom you wanted to flash.
If this didnt work, (and you have a custom recovery) try to reinstall the rom without any backups via the recovery at first and check afterwards, if the device is now recognized by Odin.
Good luck

I guess you still have twrp installed.
1. Step: go to TWRP and wipe everything except your SD-Card
2. Step: enter download mode on your device and then plug your usb in (maybe try a different usb-port or even another computer, or another usb cable)
3. Step:Flash the newest bootloader & modem in one step.
4. Step: Enter TWRP again and flash the firmware.zip via the installation process

I dont have TWRP, but i got it fixed, somehow my roomate got it, thanks anyways guys

So all he got was my phone to turn on, im still having this model dismatch fail issue..

Maybe You're trying to flash wrong firmware? What model did You buy?(check box) and what firmware did You download?
If nothing works then download 7zip. And remove all files from that tar.md5 file and leave system.img only. And then try reflashing it.
This way no matter what device You connect it should force flash this image file. Although it might be dangerous (a tiny little bit) so first make sure that You have proper firmware for Your model.

Yes, I've used these files multiple times before i did what i did, ill give that a try, if it works, i owe you.

If system.img by itself will flash successfully and Your phone won't boot then add slowly more files to that tar file (boot.img, recovery.img etc)
You could also try looking for a pit file for Your phone and then flash it with it. Pit file usually fixes most problems even broken partitions.
And make sure that You put that tar file in AP/PDA.
If nothing above works then send me screenshots of ODIN and the file that You're trying to flash. Maybe I'll notice something. But I hope You'll fix it
