[Q] Where is Odin3 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know I found a thread on the forums somewhere that gave links to downloading Odin3. I'd like to flash my phone to JH3 but can't find any instructions now. Only find the one click installer to JF6 which I already have. Does anybody know where to locate these instructions?

It looks like the samsung firmware site is down..might be for awhile. Here is Odin3.
Here is the thread regarding flashing:

[Q] how do i upgrade my firmware

i've searched for answers on here on how to upgrade/flash new firmware whatever and i cant seem to find anything. if someone could tell me what to do and run me through the steps that would be awesome. i have samsung drivers installed, net.4 installed phone is rooted.
also how come on the website for the firmware it says "if your from the americas dont flash" does that mean anything.
i heard someone say their getting way better battery life with jh3 firmware, anybody else seeing this
Follow the instructions on these two links to flash to JH3. The fist link is for JH2, but the directions still work. Just download the JH3 firmware.

This page has all the files you need:
samsung-firmwares.com/i897.htm
You need the firmware file, the PIT file, and Odin. The links for all of that is on the above page. The PIT file and Odin are under the section called "Flash Tools."
Once you've restored & upgraded, you can root or whatever you like. I'm a fan of SuperRooterExtreme, which does a whole bunch of things for you in one package.

Please check the first few posts of the threads from where you downloaded the ROM's, they usually give a very detailed instructions. On a thread like THIS, there are a lot of chances that people will only give THAT part THAT they think is important.
yo
there is only 1 file you set in odin as "PDA" file, use the "803 pit" file and flash as normal..
good luck

This is a DEVELOPER FORUM.
Please read stickies and instructions for the specific ROM you are flashing. The info is everywhere, it won't be spoon-fed to you.

[Q][I9000M][Help!][Canadian] Back to Stock

okay i have a Galaxy S on Virgin Mobile Canada
I have posted a few similar threads in the past and i apologize for repeating bits,
basically i want to get my galaxy s to stock UGKG3 and have tried multiple ways that have all failed, and i am sick of it,
i tried downloading and flashing files from samfirmware.com but it never worked for me, my galaxy s just didn't start up after i flashed so i re-flashed back to JVQ which is what i am on atm,
can some of you guys post alternate links to help me with this problem
(and yes i have searched around the rest of the forums for a few hours now)
i am looking for either:
directly to UGKG3
to KC1 then i can use kies
or even to JH1 then i can use kies
(the three file version of the downloads would be much appreciated seeing as they are the only ones ever to work for me---i only ever successfully flashed using files i downloaded using guides at androidsoul.com)
thanks everyone i hope this is the last thread with this problem i will have to post.
Go to the general section, there is a thread there on canadian i9000m. It's a compilation of resources. In it you will find a link to a stock KC1 that you can update from. I am currently on my phone, I will post a link when I can.

Got it. Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022445
It has a 3 file version for you.
update:
before i try that i found a 3 file version of KG3 and flashed it, it said it was successful but when i boot up it get stuck on the flashing S screen, so i went back to JVQ again, does this have anything to fo with a .pit file or something, and i will try the KC1 link soon, thanks
I routinely go back and forth between roms, testing things and trying stuff out.
Here's what I'd do if I were you. Flash JVQ or JVR, the 3 part rom, with 512.pit (and obviously repartition) with odin. This will fix your partitions just in case something went fubar.
Once you have that working, grab the official bell KG3 by using CheckFusDownloader (download link is in first post, its easy to miss). The GUI version doesn't work for me so I suggest you get the CLI version. The command to get the latest Bell rom is this:
Code:
CheckFusDownloader_v0.5 -dl I9000UGKG3/I9000BMCKG3/I9000UGKG3/I9000UGKG3 GT-I9000HKABMC GT-I9000M
You will have to copy the FusCipherUtil.dll library out of our kies installation to the same folder that you have the CheckFusDownloader exe. This is generally in C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies\External\FirmwareUpdate\ but if its not there google around and I'm sure you can find it.
Once you have the tar file flash that as "phone" and hopefully you should have a working phone afterwards.

[Q] Updating UK Tab to 2.3.3..<gulp>

I'm just about to update my UK Froyo Tab (P1000XWJM1) to 2.3.3. I have all the files that I need:
Odin 3, v1.7, of course,
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar
gt-p1000_mr.pit
dbdata.tar
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS to root it.
Just in case I f**k it up, I also have my original firmware files:
P1000XWJMI-REV03-ALL-CL869777.tar.md5 - I think I use this one
MODEM_P1000XXJMA.tar.md5
GT-P1000-CSC-SERJM4.tar.md5
P1_add_hidden.pit
BUT, I don't seem to have a dbdata file for the original ROM.
Can anyone please tell me where to get it or do I simply not need it?
Many thanks. Apologies if this is not the right section for this question!
ok. This totally worked for me without any problems at all. I'm now on 2.3.3.
I found this Youtube vid really useful and just followed it step by step:

[Q] An advice please...ROM for GT-P1000

Hello everybody
I have Galaxy Tab 7" GT-P1000 WiFi/3G
Model number:
GT-P1000
Firmware version:
2.2
Baseband version:
P1000JXJM2
Kernal version:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build number:
FROYO.JVJM5

As you see it's the old good froyo, but I think it's time for changing
And that's my question, To WHAT ?
First, you have P1000, that means you have phone functionality. Not only wifi/3G.
Second, there are many posts asking theis questions over and over again...
and usually Priyana answers them with the exact answers. So I'm going to borrow his/her answer:
Go to team overcome and follow their installation instruction "From froyo"
http://www.teamovercome.net/
There you will have a choice "GB-Stock-safe" (Gingerbread stock pre-rooted)) and Overcome Rom (Based on GB2.3.6 pre-rooted).
if you want to try the new ics later on, I suggest install gb-stock-safe and continue install the overcome KERNEL only. Don't install Overcome ROM.
The instruction maybe overwhelming and you may get bootloops if you do a wrongthing. So follow it carefully.
G
Thank You
I know that post of teamovercome forum and still have headache from reading it
It's very complicated so I think it's good idea to stay with the Froyo.
I guess sticking to Froyo will work.... but I think there are more apps available if you are on ICS...

I'm a beginner as you was a long time ago.
By the way, does the Kies can update the firmware to some thing else than Froyo ?
I don't think so

Hey man, you need to decide if you want to do more with your g-tab or not.
BUT words of warning: DON'T jump into the swimming pool if you're afraid getting drowned.
I was exactly like you just last year and of course as everyone else here, I started by simply learn how to root my Tab. With froyo, it is as easy as ONE MOUSE CLICK after you downloaded the correct .exe program on your computer.
Most countries already get GB upgrades via Kies ranging from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. Some unlucky countries stuck in froyo and that's when they come to xda forum to learn new things.
THANKS
My Tab is already rooted.
What you means by " ranging from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6", the kernal version or the firmware version ?
I upgraded once time only using the Kies but it's still Froyo as you see in my post.
You are right abut the swimming therefore I need to prepare myself good enough to start that process.
the best roms!
try these two masterpieces of dizgustipated:
boca msi
or
blindmooke
just go to the respective rom's thread in this section for instructions.
but first, as the posters before me said, you have to follow the instructions in www.overcome.net. when you get to the part of flashing the rom, use the above-mentioned roms instead of overcome.
happy flashing!
Here, a very easy to follow going to Gingerbread stock, follow carefully:
You can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/
1a. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 from the above site. Using the Fus Check downloader, download a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
(For your case choose GT-P1000)
Extract .zip file to get .md5 or .tar
1b. Download Odin3-v1.85
1c. Download this pitfile from following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=631856&d=1308653969
1d. Download this dbdata from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=935230&d=1331091172
2. Start Odin - put the .md5/.tar to PDA
Put the pitfile from step 1b to the PIT
Check re-partition. Leave everything else as is.
3. Go to download mode on the G-tab, connect to ur computer
and click start on Odin. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.Once done flashing it will reboot but mostlikely you still have problems with your tab.
4. Reboot to download mode again. Reset Odin (make sure re-partition unchecked), put dbdata from step 1c to PDA, leave everything else as is. Reconnect your G-Tab to computer, click start on Odin.
5. When Dbdata is successfully put into your G-tab, reboot to recovery mode, do a factory reset wipe, and data cache wipe.
Reboot system, wait for about 5 minutes for the tab to boot up, you should be all set.
Note: as always, you are responsible for your own device. I'm not responsible if anybody break his/her device following the above instruction.
yappoe, Thank You very much
1- Please check the links for the pitfile and the dbdata file -Error 404 Page Not Found
2- Can I choose another country than the one where the Tab was purchased ?
3- In the zip file there is another file called SS_Dl.dll. What about it ?
Gb has better video player and music player 5.1 . Can play sky go too. Theres lots of ways to get it looking like ics. Whilst still on gb.

Try again.
Yes you can download roms for other countries. People like firmwsre for germany or netherland because they are the latest (2.3.6).
disregard the .dll file.
TNX a lot
