hello everyone
recently downloaded the middle east version of the SGS FW i9000JPJG8 since i couldn't find the original FW i9000JXJF1 , so i looked around and prepared myself.
everything downloaded and ready for the flash
used a youtube video looking at a detailed guide to flash my sgs
i downloaded the .512 pit file but the other 3 files r missing
i notice the big FW file has 3 files starting with CODE , CSC and another CSC files
my big FW file JPJG8 has got a folder ( OJP_JG9 ) and the files in it are
zImage
param.lfs
modem.bin
factoryfs.rfs
dbdata.rfs
cache.rfs
totally diff from the files i saw in the video , where do i go from here ?
any help is much appreciatted
You need help to search not to flash. Don't try things if your not able to. You will never finish it in a working way. Video is for dummies and if you use a vid just follow these steps and USE the files they using.
Well I know for sure I won't go ahead with it until I find the right procedure.
Thanx for your reply but I did search around and well I didn't find a different way than the way posted in here which is exactly the same as the video I found. Anyways I'm still looking around, if anyone could shed some light on this Q id be very grateful.
Thanx in advanced for any help

Basically you've come across a directory of extracted filesystems.
I recommend you avoid trying to use them and rather find another Firmware to flash that comes with the pre-packaged tarball files.

Thanx for your reply sturmeh
iv looked around for any other versions of the FW even same versions from diff sites and nothing seems to be different , same files , iv tried to even look for my current FW and had no luck finding it
Pda : I9000jpjf4
Phone : I9000jxjf1
CSC : I9000jpjf4
pretty much im going thru all this hassle for some arabic support , if i can find an FW which will show me msgs in arabic and allow me to type in arabic , id be very happy. i dont need Arabic in the phones menus what so ever. just need to be able to reply when needed.
Sounds like you extracted the actual tar file. Don't. Just flash it as the pda file. You don't have to flash all 3 files.

I'm having to return my Galaxy S for a replacement, however before i realised there was a hardware issue, i flashed it.
Since i'm in Australia, on Optus, there isn't a leaked DTJF3 image. So i can't just flash back to the original.
Is there a way using busybox, or an update.zip (I create and sign update.zips, Have done a little) to update the model numbers to at least look like i haven't been messing with it. Best to be safe rather than have them not honor the warranty because of a flashed update.
I ask in here as this is where the people with an intimate knowledge of the underlying code hang out.

Australian Stock Rom (Dump) : ............
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER, PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS FILE.
http://rapidshare.com/files/406741229/dump.tar !!!!
not my work but taken from this forum, so mayb try a search before posting
So I guess the first silly question would be.....
how to separate out the CSC, Phone & PDA tar files from the Dump?
Or is there a way to use Odin to flash the dump.tar?
(just thought I'd ask the question before the OP does )
****************
Ok, so i was just looking at Odin, and there is a place where you can upload the dump.tar file. Is it really that simple - select the dump.tar downloaded from this thread, keep all other PDA/CSC/Modem spots empty, maybe select re-partition then flash??

Hey mate, caught in a similar situation here. The dump is not available now, do you mind uploading to another location? I know many other users waiting for this as well.
All the best with your flashing.
In the end until there is a leaked copy of the rom,we won't be able to flash it.we can customize with update.zip however we can't turn the dump into a rom.
The dump will contain the optus parts of the rom.but not the rom itself. I just figured someone may be able to help me fool the about screen into showing the wrong rom version.
At some point nandroid might get running, then we can do some interesting stuff until then, we just wait.
That's how I understand it

During inspection of your handset, the firmware check is done by the supplied tools to Optus, this will have no effect even if you change the About section on the Android OS, voiding your warranty further. I would rather advise you to wait for a month or so until 2.2 update comes up on Optus, then you can update the firmware via recovery.

the dump has a different format, it doesnt have a radio and csc file ( though you dont need it ) but you still need samsung.pit file i.e the bootloader file .. but be careful while doing that.
I'm trying to install the DocRambone series on my Samsung Galaxy S, but when I get to HOWTO#1 it says:
"2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (.PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)"
Now, the .PIT file I've already found(I chose the 512 since I understand that the 513 is for older versions and 803 is for Froyo). But I don't know where to find the other things, meaning PDA, CSC and Modem? Which ones should if pick(if there is more than one) and why?
If they are on my phone already, how do I mount them in Odin?
My firmware version is
PDA: I9000XWJM2
Phone: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000NEEJM1
Thanks alot

Anyone who can help me?
Which Version Froyo? It sounds like you like to flash Froyo..
ok
You must make a Clean Stock Froyo Install.. I think u choose XXJPK take the files at the Tut..! ;D And then you can flash the "Custom Rom" via update.zip
Think thats it is what u mean..
I'm not flashing Froyo, I'm flashing for DocRomboe which is 2.1 (I think?) .. but like I said, the guide sais what I said above.. I need to find PDA, CSC and modem files, because (accordimg to the guide) Odin needs those files.. I'm following the big faq guide, so if anyone could tell me what to do, I'd appreciate it

Oh come on, I really wanna do this soon !!
Read the Docrombone thread again and see what rom it is for. Its a mod. Now go find the rom it wants, something like say JM5 or JM8? do a search and you'll see people link it. Or goto http://www.samfirmware.com/ and make a account to view the firmwares there. I have no idea what rom that mod wants since you are the one wanting to install it
If you are looking for MODEM and CSC files specifically for 2.1, you can pull the ones from Richthofen's post here
-OR-
If you want to maintain your JM1 MODEM/CSC files, like the above poster suggested, visit Samfirmware
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone would happen to know how to restore a .tar file that I downloaded from sammobile.com/firmware/ . I got it in the hopes it would have a seperate PDA, CSC etc. files so I could restore using Odin put I have to admit I was stumped when I just got one .tar file. The file in question is Optus' 2.3.3 firmware and is called 'jvn_jv5_jv1.tar' if it's any help. The files inside the tar are:
-zImage
-param.lfs
-cache.rfs
-factoryfs.rfs
-boot.bin
-modem.bin
-Sbl.bin
Thanks.
Not 100% certain on this so perhaps wait for a confirmation but I think that if you only have one tar file you put it in the PDA and flash it.

Can totally confirm this!!
But if you want further confirmation there are instructions on sammobile.com
It's an easier way to flash as its only one file and less people can get the files mixed up. (It still has the kernal and modem inside it)
Edit: Just check and it seems to be missing dbdata.rfs Did you miss that out. If its not there then do another download and see if it is. If not then im sure it'll be fine..
Hi,
I'm helping a friend who's got this phone (GT-S5830) debrick it. He's managed to get into Download Mode.
I'm used to flashing SGS2s with Odin - I've never done it on this, so just wanted to check a few things.
I've directed him to download this package - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156521491/6ab255f/S5830XWKPY_S5830XEUKP1_XEU.zip.html which I found on Sammobile, as the latest UK stock XEU for this phone, i.e. no bloatware.
1) On all the screenshots I've seen, it's said on the title bar of the Odin application, "Odin Multi-Downloader", whereas the version I use for my Galaxy S2 is just "Odin", or something like that, basically it's not the same. Can somebody link me to the correct version to use with this phone (GT-S5830).
2) Again, on my phone I'm used to just having one PDA to flash, or occasionally three files (PDA, Modem, CSC), whereas on this phone there seem to be many others, from what I've seen in screenshots, such as bootloader. Which ones are necessary? Should I just use everything that comes in the package from SamMobile?
3) Anything else I need to know?!
Thanks all!
EDIT: found out I should be using Odin Multi Downloader v4.42, and no higher for this phone, seen in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. I also found out I need a "Cooper_v1.0.ops" file, which is the equivalent of an SGS2 .pit file for partitioning. I found one on some guy's dropbox, but can someone link me to a direct/official one, just to make sure I haven't downloaded a bad/old one. Thanks again!

Thank you! I'll let you know if it works.
Hi, I am completely lost on what to do, I have roamed the forums for quite some time, and actually managed to update my phone twice before.
I've just forgotten everything about it, and it's for some reason really hard to find anything that is actually dummy proof explained. If anyone could help me out I would be thankful.

Please help me, I am so lost, apparently I am supposed to use Odin and install or flash or whatever the **** a kernel, but I can't. Everwhere I look I find that I need a .tar file. Which doesn't exist in ANY of the things I have downloaded. I am going insane right now, I've had a useless phone for two days now. Please help me.

It would be easier to find the zImage of a kernel and installing it using heimdall(semaphore also contains the tar files). Search up semaphore kernel and download the respective version that is compatible with your android version choice. I know there are 's' versions but download the non 's' version for now. There are tar files there so you can flash with odin. but if you want to use heimdall, one of the zips(or tar files) contain the zImage file and extract it into the folder where you have extracted heimdall(well if you don't have heimdall, google it and download it.) If you don't know how to use heimdall, look at tutorials such as from cyanogenmod or on xda forums.
Hope this helps, gsstudios
