any ideas? I cant seem to get clockworkmod flashed to get a custom rom on the phone. im stuck!
you need to odin back to stock
well I found some stock odin files. Got It running again with CS 2.2.1 stock. Problem is that I still do not have data connection. When I dial *228 it tries to connect me to Verizon's setup number. I flashed both the stock rom in the PDA section of odin and the modem in the PHONE section of odin. Why am I stuck on Verizon when I used a CS modem in Odin?
Thanks for you help!
You flashed using the phone section on Odin?

sorry for the confusion...
I used theses files in Odin...
PIT: atlas_v2.2.2.pit
PDA: EE25_fullOdin.tar.md5
PHONE: EE25_modem.tar.md5
CSC:
The files are made for the cellular south galaxy. After flashing I am back to the "default" 2.2.1 for cellular south. But like I said, I have no data connection and connect to a verizon number when I dial *228 and *22800
I just got it working FINALLY. flashed the modem file by itself and all is well. Is there any way to get clockworkmod working without using a computer?
Glad you got it workin... Never use the phone function in odin, PDA ONLY!!
Odin and rom manager is the only 2 ways I know to get CWR. I only use odin since RM only works with certain recoveries on the fascinate...however your phone may be different.
On another side note...
Can anyone tell me if Cyanogenmod is worth it for the Cellular South version of the galaxy s? I had it on the good old HERO and it gave it new life.
Or maybe MIMU?
Any way to speed up the phone without Voodoo? I read that it will not work on the 2.2.1 stock rom...right?
I finally got it running again after 3 days of no data. I dont want to be in a bind again as my phone is an essential tool at work. I apologize if these questions have already been answered. I have been reading on xda for about 2 hours now.
cm7 and miui are getting alot better. I think most bugs are worked out. Stil a few sensor issues, but the low audio is fixed. Id say give it a go, you can always odin back to stock. Only way to speed up froyo 2.2.1 is to flash imnuts pbj kernal in clockwork recovery.There is both novoodoo and voodoo options with that kernal.
So a few days ago i downloaded a rom for my Telus SGH-i337m which gave me apps and the features from the S5. I installed it and all that, but then it failed. So i tried to use my back up but it was corrupted as well. So I thought i can go online and find a stock image, i found many, but then I think i installed the image for a GT505 by accident. This gave me my software back but then i could't use my wifi or my data. So i found a proper SGH-i337m rom and installed it, my wifi came back but my data didnt. I thought it was because of the wrong modem, so i installed a few different modems and nothing worked. But today when i downloaded a different modem and installed it using odin mobile pro. It was installing and it rebooted, but then it got stuck there with the ODIN logo. I removed the battery and turned the phone on but not it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..... please connect to kies". I tried connecting to kies but couldn't.
if someone could provide me with fully stock firmware and modem with easy instructions i would appreciate it, I'm so cheesed of my phone not working now
Did you have a custom recovery installed? Have you tried to go into recovery? Vol up home power. Make sure Samsung drivers are installed on your computer. Save a rom on your computer that you know works and place it on the sd card of your phone. Install rom. Try a stock rom version. Maple leaf by ib4stid would be a good one.
I just reread. Sorry I don't think my suggestion will help. Good luck.

what do you mean? you need to create an account to be able to download. hope u got it sorted or by now
If you can give smoe more information about if you have a custom recovery installed (which one), can you connect to PC and move files to the external sd card, which modem you have installed and does the phone boot at all?
The procedure should be, root... download rom, ensuring it is for the i337m and not the i337 (2 different models) install custom recovery (I like TWRP (shouold be version 2.6 or lower.. some suggest 2.5 see mapleleaf rom OP..... others use Philz recovery... I don't have any experience with that).... install rom... let it boot up and run for a few minutes... then if you dont have the proper modem install the NC1 modem found on this forum...(I never flash the nonhalos file) I like to use Odin PC rather than moblie Odin... make sure you take off auto reboot as the flash takes longer than Odin allows before rebooting... You may need to enter your APN settings in settings... wrong APN's will result in no data...
As for roms, I would start with Maple leaf and see what you think... If you need to go back to stock, sam mobile roms are all Bell so you will see some Bell software (not to worry) and you will need to enter your APN's... then you can install a custom rom... again can't stress enough to choose one that is for i337m
The other thing you want to watch is bootloader versions.... once you go up in versions.. you can't go back...
Thanks for the help! I don't know how that I forgot the fact that I have a TelusS4 with a Wind sim in it, and cuz I formatted the phone and crashed the software, the bandwidths went to the stock Telus ones. But then I used a software and now I can use my wind sim on my phone!
Btw what are the best roms out there that look completely stock but provide tons of new features?

Stock roms, I use Mapleleaf, I have also tried Google Play edition by Danvh but went back to maple leaf. I take it you are now back to stock and rooted, before you flash a rom, make sure you do a backup of your current stock rom so you have a easy way to go back. Make sure you back up your imei files also... might come in handy some day... I did both a full backup plus a seperate back up og just the iemi file... like i said before.... if you entend on going backwards from 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 to anything else do not change your bootloader... before you flash a rom make sure it will not change your bootloader... if it is going to i suggest you unzip the rom, remove the bootloader file and rezip then flash... it is up to you though... there is no going backwards on bootloaders......
First, I have installed a ROM on my phone before and I followed very specific instructions. I am a developer in the land of microsoft so I recognize I am very much a newbie here.
Now, on to what I have now and what I want to do.
1. I have a Note 3. The SM-N9005. The baseband version is: N900W8.... suffice to say it is a canadian phone. If the rest of the baseband numbers are important I will post them, just ask.
2. I want to install the Alliance ROM, it seems to have what I am looking for.
3. When I rooted and ROMed my phone years ago I used the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2614772
4. Currently my phone is running a Jedi ROM from the vintage of that thread. However I must have made a mistake back then because the Hotspot feature does not work. Making the hotspot feature work again is my primary reason for undertaking this operation. The 4G works, I can use the Internet on the phone just fine. The wireless works I can connect to a wireless signal and use the internet that way (I confirmed this was working with mobile data off). The hotspot will allow a connection from a device (such as my laptop), but no data passes between the 4G connection and the connected computer.(yes, I turned on Mobile Data On) I have tried this using different computers connected to the hotspot to confirm it is the fault of the Note3.
Back when I did this flashing thing before I had to be careful to get the right CSC file and modem file and a few other steps. I had to specify the correct CSC file in addition to the rom I wanted to flash.
With that background, my questions are below (if you need any more info to point me in the right direction, just ask):
One last note... I will be performing any and all instructions from a macbook pro Mid 2012 with no other devices on the usb host controller running a near virgin copy of windows 7.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Do I need to worry about CSC files, modem files and so on to Flash to Alliance ROM and still have everything work? I ran across a thread that said that some ROMs have all the CSC files in them, but I cannot find any direct information (or I missed it) about the Alliance ROM with regards to CSC files and the like.
I thought I had TWRP installed, but when I boot to recovery the top two lines read
line1: Android system recovery <3e>
line2: KOT49H.N9005XXUENB4
Is this TWRP? Should I download the latest TWRP for my device and flash it using the AP button from Odin 3.10? If there is a different technique I should use, I will try it.
The instructions say that if I am not installing from stock 4.4.2 or stock 5.0 that I should install stock first, then install the alliance rom. I visited the sammobile website and there are no ROMs for the USA or Canada there... am I missing something or should I just use the UK ROM from that website? I guess I am not sure how to identify the correct ROM for Canada.
I did load the Alliance ROM 8.2 onto my SD card and attempted to use the option apply update from external storage and it failed. Nothing happened at all and the phone eventually rebooted and the ROM never installed.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me on this endeavour. I am largely looking for resources that I have not been able to find up until now. I am okay with help such as Read This Post! and so on.
If the phone is an n9005, not sure how the baseband can be n900w8 as the n9005 was never sold by Canadian carriers as far as I know.
Here's a link to the stock n900w8 firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900W8/

First of all, you should detect what device you own. You can install this APP and add some screenshots for avoid problems and give us more info about your device (IMEI not necessary).
We will try to detect if you own a clone, a SM-N9005 or SM-N900W8.
Additional Info as requested
Here are the screenshots that were requested. Thanks for your help. Yes, I will and continue to use the thanks button as well.

I think you should flash the stock rom first via ODIN. Coz your baseband don't fit with your bootloader and your PDA either.
PS: You can use MEGA mirror as well :highfive:
I have the stock ROM from SamMobile. I am set to flash the phone. I have everything set but I searched the forum as a final check to make sure I am doing the right things and I found a post that says I need a PIT file. I can find a PIT file for HLTE verizon phones but I do not know if that PIT file works with the image I downloaded from sammobile. Of course I am connecting the dots from the info program I ran where is says on the general tab that the phone is of type hlte.
When I click on PIT in Odin it says this function is for engineers only. As a programmer myself I would put a message like that for a function I don't want people using needlessly but it does give me pause to ask about it. As they say Flash in Haste...Cry at Leisure..
Many thanks to you all. I have installed the stock ROM and it works. I can make phone calls, wifi works, 4g works, and hotspot works.. YAYA... Now, I would do the alliance rom but I can honestly say I am not sure I want to mess with it. I want the phone call recording feature but that is all I want...It would be the only reason to do the alliance rom. And it appears as though that rom is not done the same way as the stock rom as there is no md5 file.
anyhow.. thanks again to all who helped. I have thanked each post as well. If you have some tips based on my above info, I would be very grateful.
There are quite a lot of call recording apps which work well as far as I know, ACR being one of the example.
Only tar or tar.md5 files are flashed in Odin. Any non-stock ROMs are flashed using a custom recovery.
You can flash a custom recovery to your phone using Odin in the PDA/AP box from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/ Just use the latest tar file.
Once you have a custom recovery on the phone, you can create a backup of your existing ROM, then flash a custom ROM.
Hi all,
I'm getting ready to downgrade from PG1 to PD3 and I'm hoping somebody can give me a little help. I've downloaded all the files, but I don't know which ones do I need to flash?
There's AP, BL, CP, and 2 CSC files.
I've read that the HOME_CSC file won't erase my data, but the other one will.
Do I need to flash all of them to downgrade?
Is there any danger in doing this?
And do I need to do a factory wipe/reset when I do this?
The samsung tech at my local bestbuy reflashed the latest (PG1) update on my phone but it hasn't fixed my bluetooth issues. I'm trying this as a last ditch effort before replacing the phone itself.
Thanks for any help,
-Jeff

U need to flash them all, u need to put all of them in the correct slot in Odin and if u don't want your data erased then flash the home csc if u do then put the other one in the slot, make sure auto reboot is checked and make sure re-partition is not checked and hit start
