[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?

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!!!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337M) Post-Flashing Issues

Hi, fist time using this so lets see how it goes
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337M) and I recently flashed CyanogenMod and have regretted it ever since. It got rid of all Google apps and initially made my WiFi stop working. So after that I started searching how to return to stock. (NOTE: Returning to provider isn't an option) I found a stock 4.2 file and flashed it onto my S4 following with a factory wipe. What i'm left with is a S4 that has no sound or WiFi. Overall i would like to return to factory everything and just stay there forever. Flashing roms are just too challenging for me. Hope you can help. :crying:

Hi, thanks for issued XDA Assist. You can find many answers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att. In short, you need to use Odin and flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com.

Thats where the problem is. I flashed my stock rom on to my phone using Odin and i am left with a phone that has no sound and cant connect to the WiFi. I have heard something about flashing a modem or updating the modem rom onto my phone but i have no idea how to do that.

I'm going to move this thread to the AT&T S4 Q&A forum. There are those there that can further assist you.

Sammobile has the official firmware. Go there. You need to register but it's free. The downloads are a little show though. Try that. You'll download a zip file, use 7-zip or winrar to exec the zip. In there you'll find the .tar.md5 file. That's what you want to use in Odin.

Perfect!!!! Eveerything seems to be working so far! I have one other issue that you may or may not be able to help me with, the phone constantly says that the sim card has been removed every now and again. There is a very strange fix to this but its only temporary. Restarting doesnt work, taking the card out then putting it in doesnt work but the odd fix is taking it out and licking the metal side. Has the sim card burned out?

Glad you got it working! Sounds to me like the sim card holder may be worn out. You could try a new sim. Also, it's not an uncommon problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43891560

Iso stock firmware for sm-g530a

I obtained root with king root app. Everything g was fine then I rebooted and came with a message stating "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off and go to the nearest AT&T store for help."
I'm looking for a link for the stock firmware so I can flash with odin. Any type of help and advice would be awesome.
And a warning for all other users with the same phone, no to install king root on this device.

Same boat, any info helps.
After speaking with AT&T support via chat, and getting someone who knew what I was talking about, I was referred here, after being referred to sammobile which doesnt yet have the sm-g530a firmware, although I hope that will change soon.
Does anyone know of any custom rom or firmware that is compatible with this phone at all, I just need to be able to use my phone nothing fancy necessary, any information would be greatly appreciated., thanks.

I have the stock firmware
I have the stock firmware the thing is I don't know how to extract it I'd anyone knows how I'll do it and share it with you

I'm not sure if this will work but download Philz RECOVERY CWM flash thru Odin then back up your current rom which is stock then reboot phone go into files(I used es file Explorer) look for back up then hold on it and click share or simply extract it and put a link for download that's what I did with my friend phone but through SD card hope this works :7

Just had this problem. I used Odin to flash the stock kernel and I was back up and running.

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.

stock firmware for Samsung Galaxy s7 G930V

I rooted my phone a while ago and have now screwed something up on it. It keeps saying ISM service unavailable...every 2 seconds no matter what I try. If you have a fix for that, that's great and I'd love to hear it. However, I am just looking for stock firmware for my Galaxy S7 G930V VRU4CRE5 to fix the problem. I can't find it anyway...I'm also aware that I'm no expert on this stuff so if any other stock firmware, or heck even a custom ROM at this point, works for my version that you can suggest, well then any help is welcome! thank you.
