[Q] PLEASE HELP ME! Galaxy Y Reboot Problem - Need help installing 2.3.6 firmware!

Hello all,
I've had my mobile device for seven months and it has worked great.
Recently (4 days ago) it started experiencing problems.
After every phone call that is terminated (end call button depressed) the mobile device automatically restarts itself.
I have done countless hours of research online and see that is a fairly frequent problem with the mobile device.
One article I read from a website depicted the source of the problem to be an internal memory inefficiency by the mobile device.
With that being said, I thought I would give Samsung a call to see if they could help me install a new software version on the device.
I spent two days calling Samsung in all their offices around the world. In the United States, in India, in China, in Jordan.
All the places that I called gave me the run around because I am using an international phone, and basically did not offer any assistance.
My last resort is XDA developers, - therefore, I do apologize if this thread is covered in another post. I did try to search, yet I could not find what I was looking for.
Basically what I am trying to do is download odin3 v. 1.84 or 1.85 and the appropriate download package to use to install 2.3.6 onto the phone.
I believe DDLC2 Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread is the firmware version that I need.
I read online that this update or change from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 will solve my rebooting problem. Is this correct?
With that being said, 99% of the download links that I have found on google while searching for odin as well as the firmware package are invalid, the links are broken/removed/ or do not work.
The other 1% of the download links that are available online are full of malware and spyware, instead of the appropriate files.
I am kindly asking that someone provide me with the correct Odin link to download, as well as the appropriate firmware files needed to upload to Odin to be able to install 2.3.6 on my mobile device.
Does the mobile device need to be rooted to install 2.3.6 onto it via Odin?
My Galaxy Y S5360L is currently not rooted.
Please take pity on me, I have been trying to fix my mobile device for a few days now non-stop. I have been up for over 19 hours a day searching for a solution.
I really like this mobile device, and I do not wish to throw it away because of this problem.
Here are some instructions I found that tell what to do after Odin and Firmware files are downloaded. Are these correct?
First thing you need to do is go down to Settings then Applications then Development and Make sure you have enabled USB Debugging.
Before starting the process make sure you have a good 70-80% charge remaining on your device.
After you make sure you have everything ready for the update download this file.
Extract the files in the zip file. Do not connect your device to the computer yet. Next you need to enter your phone in download mode.
For that first switch Off the phone and then Hold down the Volume Down OK and Power Button simultaneously.
Now run Odin from the extracted files and then connect your Galaxy Y to your computer.
Once you connect your device a section in the Odin Window should turn yellow.
After that click PDA in the Odin Window and select the .md5 file from the extracted files. Now just click Start.
Just wait for the process to finish and reboot. That's it

No root required and the tutorial i right and for odin search my post there is the nwest odin.worx 100%,the post is in general section.
MANY GREEEEETZ!!!

As CALIBAN666 said, no rooting is required. Go to the development section, and you'll see a thread by Doky73 (it's stickied). You'll find your firmware files there, a link to Odin, as well as instructions on how to flash it.

Thank you very much for the response.
I see the thread by Doky73.
There are far too many packages available, I don't know which one to choose.
Does every package download include a copy of Odin inside it, or do I have to download Odin separately?
I read that we are supposed to use 1.84 and not 1.85 is that correct?
Could you please recommend a package for me to use, so that my rebooting problem will go away.

The packages are arranged according to the countries. See the firmware package under your country and download it. Yes, you'll have to download Odin seperately. It dosen't matter whether it's 1.84 or 1.85.

I live in the United States, in the commonwealth of Virginia near Washington DC.
I purchased the phone online when it first came out back in November of 2011.
Which package do you recommend that I use?
I don't see one listed for North American users.
Should I choose the European version?

What is the title of the thread you created, I will try to find it.
I am currently using Ubuntu/Linux, but I can boot into my Windows partition to install Odin.
Im using ubuntu right now because I got some malware yesterday on my windows partition when I was searching for Odin versions to download.

I have downloaded Odin V. 1.84.
I tried downloaded a firmware package, put the phone in download mode, followed all the steps and Odin said PASS in the upper left corner with a Green Light.
I was very happy.
I let me phone reboot itself, I go into settings, and I see it is still running 2.3.5 ?
Besides that, I check the codes, and all of the firmware versions are the same as the originals that came with the mobile device.
Can someone please help me find a 2.3.6 package that I can install ?

You can install custom ROM

another quest:have you in your settings in application setting under development the usb debugging enebled thats a must?

Thread Moved to Q&A

I have found out an update to the problem I am having.
I successfully patched from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 by using one of firmware packages.
However, if I reboot the phone, or turn it off, - when I turn it back on it will start experiencing problems.
Right now it is working 100%.
As soon as I reboot the phone though, the end call problem will reappear.
I am still using the phone after the initial boot, after the install of the new firmware.
Any ideas why the problem comes back after I restart the phone?

you have the three files flashed with odin,right?try to flash the totoro pitfile too,it in my odin zip includet,did you have data/factory+chache in normal recovery wiped,after odinflash?try these things too,maybe its helps.good luck buddy!!!

lol this has been posted like 3 times now

Thats weird because I looked for official TMO SM-N910T files and couldnt find them. They were all modified or developer preview versions not release versions. Also mine includes the AP, BL, CP, and CSC flashes.

So it's the sm-910t not the t3 version.
and you're right. The other post is for the sprint version. I'm getting a fail! (Auth) when I try to flash it

is that what it is you were afraid of? I was stealing your thunder? Either way I was just trying to help out, there are multiple versions out all slightly different and theres nothing wrong with mirrors if in fact you have the same 4 flashes in your zip.

Thunder? Hardly, I could care less. This is not a popularity contest. Hence why my donate link doesn't even go to me.
I too was simply trying to also help out. There is no need for multiple posts of the exact same thing. (you were not the only one)
Some of the other posts were actually the wrong file and were bricking devices. I simply wanted to make sure people had the 100% for sure one.
Also AFH mirrors the file 6 times and is much faster then MEGA.
In addition typically/historically speaking stock firmware are usually posted in the Development section. (not a rule, I dont think)
4 flashes? What do you mean? There is one tar file in my zip.
---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
Actually to add; Your post is very useful I would just re-word the title. (and if possible request that it is moved to dev)
Your title "Tmobile 6.0.1 ODIN files" is not very detailed and a poor choice of words for what you posted.
Including the model of the phone and the build version of the firmware you posted would be more helpful. (there are two different models of the Note 4 for T-Mobile)
Because you got the files from Kies it contains the firmware split into separate files.
AP - Main ROM Platform
BL - Bootloader
CP - Modem
CSC - Region / Carrier Data
These things are very useful for some "power users".
However to many users this can be very confusing to flash with Odin and would need further explanation.
The Firmware I posted is what every one is accustomed to. (a tar you flash via Odin in PDA/AP)
---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------
Then again it looks like this guy posted all of those files well before any of us. Dunno what to say at this point.

Ok does that help out. I changed the title hope that helps, Im still new to posting files like this but Ill get the hang of it eventually. As for requesting the move I dont know how to do that.
As for sammobile, yes they almost always have it immediately but unless you have a paid subscription you'll be downloading for half the day, which is why I uploaded to a different place.

I rather run from a jaguar then go to that site.

The site makes you jump through so many hoops and like I said if you dont pay for a subscription the downloads are a few hours.

interesting. sammobile is slow but downloads usually take two hours top on good or regular days. yes, some days have had to start over a couple times so took all day because so slow and congested. was just putting it out there. sammobile isn't my first choice but it reliable and occasionally the firmware makes it there faster than here.

Thanks for the link. This is my first time seeing this link and I have google searched a bunch of them. So I googled specific to this model and I came to this link. Usually when I see xda I automatically check here first because I have had a lot of success in doing so thanks to users like yourself and many others. Keep up the good work ladies and gents.

N910t "virgin"
please, does it work with all operators ?

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I wanted to try out RR N on my Note 4 SM-N910T. I really love RR however during some phone calls, the caller couldn't hear me. A few other glitches. I tried all day today to switch back to stock and all the fireware I tried from SDA links failed in Odin. What a waste of a day!
Your link, even though it was mentioned was double posted, was the only one that came up in Google, and saved my phone! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
Now I am just going to keep it rooted, Keep stock Rom, and use my paid version of Nova. I did like RR though. But I would rather a working phone best.

Look for a thread where you posted with BQA6 Odin files. It has a full guide.
Odin Program
http://samsungodin.com/
Odin Files
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71343011
Adb installer
https://androidmtk.com/download-15-seconds-adb-installer
Here are the files for an ATT phone. I'll link the guide too...
Can't find the link but you need to download adb installer, a Google search will bring up a quick installer, then you need to download odin, I believe the latest will work, then boot to download mode which is reboot, hold the home/volume down/and power button after the Samsung shutdown screen goes away. Put the files where they belong into odin and flash. Each file will be listed as AP, CSC, BL and I forget the 4th. Easy peasy.

I haven't had the experience of hiemdall since the first Galaxy. Why don't you download the files and find a windows computer? Put them on a flash drive. No one has mentioned​ that program in these threads that I've seen.

I tried everything with two different windows laptop as well but it doesn't work... I would like to install android 8.0. I followed step by step the guide but nothing... dev_type problem.

If you want to update your (i'm just assuming) S7 Edge from AT&T you could check this link (here should've been a url link but apperently i can't attach links because i don't have 10 posts ) just search for androidfilehost on google (and search for G935A if you have an AT&T phone or search for the model number in setting s> about phone > software information > Baseband version *the first 5 are the model number*) , with all of the updates working , i am using the latest one uploaded by ITSAJUJA , they're working all you need is odin , you gotta unzip the zip file , plug in your phone ,put the files in the correct order, have the phone in downloading mode with oem unlocked and usb debugging and you're all good to go. You can also search for other models on that site . I hope i was of any help . Have fun updating !

Having trouble with Heimdall

Greetings!
I am trying to revert my Samsung Galaxy S5 back to Lollipop from Marshmallow. I don't have a PC but a Macbook Pro so I can't use ODIN. Instead I have downloaded Heimdall. I have downloaded several different versions of the Lollipop stock ROM but the Heimdall GUI is not recognizing them.
I *really* need to revert this back to Lollipop so I can use towelroot to get rid of all the crap Verizon bloatware that is eating my memory and making my phone unusable.
Any help would be so so so appreciated, thank you!

Hi,
It is good that you are asking for help but first of all in order to get helped you should provide basic info as:
1. Your phone model (label inside the phone)
2. Current firmware (bootloader, PDA, CSC etc)
It seems you have Verizon version of s5. In this case there is dedicated Verizon S5 Forum for your specific phone where potentially you can get more reliable help as xda members there posses these phone:

It seems the issue is Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom package when I click the button that is supposed to load it from the relevant folder...

Ok, so...now what do I do? The GUI in Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom files in order to load them into the program...
It has been entirely frustrating...I have done research on my own finding all of the step by steps...but at every step there seems to be some issue or roadblock...why can't it just be straightforward, arg!

Hi again,
I never used Heimdall for my phone (always odin) nor have your phone model (my is g900f) so can't reproduce your problem. Maybe the others here can?
If not do as I recommended to you in my previous post -> ask this question on the s5 Verizon dedicated forum.
Edit: ok I see that you already posted there and forum moderator closed your thread. Do as he recommended to move this thread to Verizon s5 forum.

How do I move the whole thread to a new forum? I tried to start a new one as requested and it got locked.
