I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. Can someone explain the basics of what PDA/PHONE/CSC are? Right now by dialing *#*#1234#*#* I get:
PDA: i897UCJF6
PHONE: i897UCJH3
CSC: i897ATTJF6
I flashed the JH3 ROM from JF6 using the PDA option, was that correct? Also, can someone explain the proper way to flash with Odin? Thanks in advance.
I realize development isnt the best area for this, but i would be interested in an ‘idiots guide’ to odin, etc. As well.
Ive moded android phones before but it hasn’t been with odin
+1 the stickied Odin thread is not very detailed on what you're actually doing when you use the program.
+1 This would be nice
+10000
I have flashed WM thousands of times...android is a whole different monster and ODIN seems like such a shoddy program...no one ever puts a tutorial in their rom threads and I end up spending hours reading just to make sure I have everything set...
And am I the only one that has to run odin liek 30 times before it actually takes? Even the 1 click restore odin takes me several times pulling the battery for it to even start loading...
I hate to bump this, but could someone at least explain what PDA/PHONE/CSC are?

If you clicked PDA in odin and pointed to the right ucjh3, you should be on jhs pda AND modem, i think, though i don't believe there's much difference. As for explanation, see below....

Ok, I'll try to explain:
Odin - PDA=Kernel - The brain or core
- Phone:= modem - self explanatory
- CSC = Carrier specific options - usually ignore this
Most of the time, the package you download is all-in-one, which would go in the PDA box. It basically "wipes" the existing system (not data,like your music and stuff) and installs whatever you tell it to. In other words, stock is UCJF6. The "leaked" newer firmwares are jh2, jh3 and jh7. They are complete files. To upgrade to the jh3 for instance, you would download it, unzip the zip so that it was now showing as a .tar, and point odin PDA to it. Then connect phone in d/l mode and click start in odin when it says added. It will reprogram the firmware and reboot, at which time you close odin and disconnect cable. You have just flashed!
I Just Bricked My Samsung Galaxy Ace - I Switch it On and It Shows Samsung Logo Forever and Im Stuck There. I Can Still Access Recovery and Download Mode Though
If Im Not Wrong, I Bricked It By Deleting Certain System Files, Is There A way to Restore The System Files via Download Mode or Recovery Mode ?
* I Deleted Samsungbootloop.qmg, And The Next time I Booted, This Happened. Could it Be A Cause ? I've Read other Forums About this File, and It Seems Like it Doesnt Brick the Phone If Deleted
Btw, My Phone Model Is GT-S5830i
U only shot is to flash through odin dont worry nothings wrong yet ...your phone is not even close to being bricked try rom manager and report rom manager is the best brick tool out there
Flash Through Odin ? You Mean Flash My Stock Firmware?
Try Rom Manager ? But I Cant Even Use The App on My Mobile?

Download your stock rom at samfirmware.com ...odin youll find anywhere ...
Doesnt Matter, I Only Used My Phone For Abt 3 Wks Now... No Important Infomation Inside
Haha Cool! Got Odin v1.85 Working on My Computer, Just Wondering About The Firmwares... Does CSC and PDA Matter ?
So I've Connected My Phone To The Computer, While My Phone Is In Download Mode. My Computer Cant Seem to Install the Driver, Can I Still Use Odin ?
*Sorry I know I Ask Alot Of Qns, But I Just Wanna Be Extra Careful
No problem its good to be careful than be sorry
No u cant proceed until odin shows that "yellow box " .
About your pc not recognizng your phone you should have the samsung usb drivers ull find them at samfirmware.com
And also when u use odin u must "run as admin " or "run as vista executable( i hope u have seen some odin tutorial ) first keep odin open then connect your phone
I m sorry for the late replies...i know how excited/ sad u are ..please bear with me
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB
I dont know about csc and pda . Whenever i flashed it was always a " one package " file ...google it ...dont worry u cant brick your phone via odin unless you flash a rom not meant for your phone xD

Lol Wow I Did Google Before I asked, Just That They Gave me A Bunch Of Stuff That my Brain Couldnt Comprehend
So Now, I Have Downloaded The Stock Firmware and It Seems Like There is Only One File, Unlike In Tutorials Which Have the CSC PDA MODEM File. So I Dont know How to Use The File in Odin.
I Have Seen Tutorials Where The Stock Firmware Consist Of One File Like Mine Also, Where They Input That One Big File Into The PDA Slot. However Mine Doesnt Seem To Work.
There Could Be Afew Outcomes While Flashing that One File into PDA with Odin ( The message in Odin, Telling me what it is doing currently)
1. Setup Connection... ( And Then Stucks There )
2. Flash Failure
Mind Helping Me Abit, Seems Disastrous Lol.. Much Thanks
I think yours is a "one package " file ...there is an option in odin ..tick it and navigate to the file

Sorry for the long thread but please read and help me !
Sorry moderators i tried looking for my post didnt find where you placed it. so making a new and clear where i'll tell what i ve done to my tablet.
firstly my p1000 was froyo 2.2 and i didnt checked that and tried to upgrade it to jelly bean, that was the first stupidity of my.
while doing that i faced many problems and concluded that it was brick.
how ever i had rooted my phone with super one click root..
later when it was bricked i again rooted it with cwm recovery by help of cmd.
then it was more complex, i then tried to roll it back and installed the firmware but the firmware i installed was wrong region again it went more complex.
then from some thread, i again used odin and pit it and installed some other firmware. that didnt work so i did something with heimdall suite as it was instructed and mess something with zImage thing.. all failed.
now i ve finally came up with no solution and thinking what the mess i ve done.
please help me.
now odin dont recognize the phone.
the phone is booting till the samsung welcome screen i can also listen the sound.
it also goes to cwm recovery screen and also goes to downloading screen.
please tell me a way so that it can go to normal i am happy with 2.2 froyo only.
tell me a way, please give me download links so that i dont mess it again.
remember odin not accepting it, i ve charged the phone fully and also installed the samsung usb drivers but its not helping..

Download the guide and gb stock safe.

Go to download mode. Connect cable. Start Odin.
You may want to remove zadig/heimdall if possible.
Better if you can get a clean PC and install driver from gb stock safe.

You can extract modem.bin from the rom that you have downloaded.

i did that... but still not able to make any calls. my sim card is working on other phone though.
have tried flashing modem.bin and also tried copy and paste in vendor folder.
but its not working searching all over the forum but i dont know what to do
Settings>about tablet>Status> Service state : out of service / Mobile network state : disconnected / MDN : unknown
Where did you get the modem.bin from and which network you belong to.
I recommend starting by looking at gb stock safe, when you unpack there are a few modem.bin
Start with JPZ modem and stick it in /radio/ if latest cm10
Or to /system/vendor for slightly older one.

in gb stock safe, it was jpz modem file.. which i used to flash and it was flashed very well and there was no problem in anything.
later on when i upgraded for 4.1.1 it was also installed normally with no problem the only problem i encountered is i cant make any calls from it.
even the imei number is changed of my phone.
i also sticked the file in system/vendor .. i tried with the both file the jpz which i had from gb stock file and another from the firmware.
well now i trying to go for the latest cyanogen 4.1.1 hope everything get normal in it, and try to stick file in radio.
can you tell me particularly which file to copy and where ?
in gb stock jpz worked fine.. should i go for it ?
yes the same jpz modem.bin file into /radio/modem.bin
the one in the CM10 might be corrupted, who knows.

Help me out guys i really need save my phone.
i have been trying to update my 2.3.6 to 4.3 (Jellybean) through Odin since I always got some weird stopping at 69% on Kies, but i seemed to fail on odin, Odin was failing to do it so i tried other odin ver and got stuck on the ''NAND Write Start'' thing, i exited odin and then tried something else i'm very stupid so i used a pit for the wrong version of my android to..help in whatever it was i dont remember, together with the ROM.
i didn't check if my phone was aleadry bricked after i force closed odin in patching in the first time so i don't know the root of the problem.
and i don't know if this is Soft or full brick but i get stuck at Firmware Upgrade encountered a issue, Kies does not help in it when i type the cellphone info into that option, it gives me a error so no way through kies. i didn't do any way yet to try to save it i'm really unsure what to do i checked really a bunch of different posts so its really confusing, i really get in panic when stuff like this happens so forgive me, i hope anyone can help in somehow, also, if better i need to save it in a way without having to wipe my stuff because most of my apps data are in the phone, but i dont mind if theres no other way than using wiping in one of the steps.
i don't really know how to follow if you link me over a thread so its better if you post the explanation here.

You must do factory reset when you go from GB to JB. That is why you get a bootloop probably.
So to make it short situations is like this:
1. You had problem with Kies
2. Tried with Odin and got force close of odin in Windows?
3. Retry with Kies with same ending
So what Windows do you use? Do you use 8? I read some had problem with Odin and 8.x. Did you use Odin 3.0.x?

Yeah, forced closed odin 2 times, kies like stopped and disconnected everything on 69% leaving only the android on downloading screen but that didnt brick it, i use windows 7, odin 3.09 only gave me fails so i used 3.07 where it got stuck on nand thing.
also, any ways to backup things even though the thing is bricked? i can go to download mode fine and i think i can go into recovery too (never tried it on this phone)

Your internal data (on internal SD) will be there, but Factory reset will delete your apps and its data.
Or try to flash GB with ODIN and see what happens.

It is probably soft, you can go to Odin. Way to unbrick it is to flash stock firmware with Odin - like you did. Find GB firmware and flash it with odin like you did.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
If your phone is I9070 then use firmware for I9070, if it is I9070P use I9070P firmware. If you miss this you will hardbrick phone, and not be able to use Download mode.
And do not use Hong Kong firmware.
sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com are sites where you can find firmwares.
You were on custom ROM when you did update with Kies?

I am not 100% sure about that. Maybe try other ODIN versions. But I used 3.0.7 without problem. Search for nand write problem to see what is it about.
P.S. Redownlaod firmware maybe, is it the same size as shown on the page when you started download?

Yeah um it was, as i said Odin 3.09 only failed while 3.07 got stuck in nando. isnt there someone that knows about that nando thing? i readed alot but i dont think i can really find a good answer.
alright so, downloaded a 2.3.6 firmware, i download which odin? i do need download that ''odin tools'' from that link you linked me ? because it has a very old ver of odin but skipping that it has a PIT file that i dont really know what it is for.

I am not sure if that method formats internal storage. And if you get adb shell you could do it with command or with total commander with adb plugin (for that go to my profile, to all threads I started and you will see one about it).

well since its normal again but without nothing, when i decide to try update it again which way you would recommend me off? i mean, a really good one that isnt by Kies?

Odin. Like you did now, just with JB firmware for your I9070 model (P or non P, if you miss that you will hard brick, for example if you flash P firmware on non P phone, and otherwise).
Just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
Simple as - put firmware in PDA, hit flash. And check if you have unchecked/checked as it is written there.
Probably Kies was the problem, because that nand write error. He messed up, and now this fixed it.

hey everyone...this is my first post on xda, i need a little help with my sisters in laws phone. basically shes got some crazy ex who has rooted her phone and im trying to fix it for her since hes making her life difficult. i can tell he has a custom bootloader installed. when i boot into recovery its odin not the normal bootloader. i can still boot into download mode but the phone wont boot up...when it does it just says that the firmware update encountered a problem and to use kies in recovery. im not super technically saavy but have flashed a tablet or too. nothing major. any help would be greatly appreciated. i just want this thing back to stock bootloader and firmware like when it came from att. does that sound like its possible. i tried to use some write ups i found online to rewrite the stock firmware and thats when it quit booting up. thanks in advance for any help people!

Scroll down to the notes section in the OP of this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3149146
Grab ye file from step for and follow instructions. If she is rooted then this will work. It'll take her back to 4.4.2 unrooted.

Thanks for taking the time to help with this issue. that file didnt work, i flashed the G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions firmware and its at least working again. thanks again to everyone who looked and especially dirtydodge for taking time.
Phone is working again guys but was wondering if anyone knows why it keeps giving me this security notice pop up...says that unauthorized actions have been detected and gives me the option to restart or cancel. Sounds like it has something to do with KNOX from my searching. Trying to solve this without rooting. When i check the KNOX counter in D/L mode it says 0x0. Ive updated firmware and security updates to latest versions and it hasnt helped. Anyone have any pointers? As always any help is greatly appreciated. Searched around the web and xda and didnt find what i was looking for.
@wigglesrewind. Chances are is that the phone is still rooted and that's why your getting the notification. Go to the pay store and download "root checker" and see what it says. Also what is your version & baseband. I'm not sure why the "downgrade to nce" file didn't work for you. It might have been a bad download but you should be able to use it if your still on 0C4.
Thanks again dirtydodge for contributing. I did a check with root checker and it says root is not installed. Also used terminal emulator and get a dollar sign in the terminal, not the hash tag. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with terminal emulator. The only time I've ever gotten the notification that you talking about is when i have root apps on the phone and certain things aren't froze. But you need to be rooted and have titanium backup to freeze them. What version is on the phone.
Sorry, forgot to add that in the last post...
Baseband version oc4
Kernel 3.4.0
Build number LRX21T.G900AUCU4BOF3
Let me know if you need any other info. Like i said im not very experienced in this
But thanks again for your help. Its greatly appreciated.

Ok well it sounds like your on the latest firmware version. The phone may still have a trace of root somewhere. After you flashed the oc4 Kernel did you do a factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure what to do. But that does explain why you can't use the "downgrade to nce" file. The oc4 build can not be downgraded. I'd do a factory reset from the stock recovery menu and then wipe the cache. If that don't fix it then I'm out of options. Lol. Hope this helps.
Ive tried everything you mentioned except wiping the cache so I'll give that a try. Cross your fingers for me!
you flashed oc4 firmware which is why your baseband is oc4 (baseband is modem.)
What you need to do is download and odin a full odin tar file.. this will wipe everything clean and make it brand new...

If i were to find a full tar file would i just use the ap box in odin or would i have to do it differently? Usually those full dowloads have multiple files in them (BL and whatever the other ones are... CS maybe? Cant remember and not near the computer right now. Is that what your talking about?

Yup.. youre build is of3 or w.e which to my knowledge not downgradeable.. if you dont plan on keeping it rooted then you can flash latest full tar in odin using the AP slot..
I would recommend trying the oc full tar first if you plan on rerooting it.. the full tar will have multiple files including system, csc, boot etc.

Thanks alot! I'll find a full tar on here and odin it and see if that fixes it
does anyone have that oc4 one click file or know where i can find it. see it in my searchs but its always the same google drive share and they all say the file doesn't exist.

G900AUCU3BOC4_OneClick..exe was the file name i kept coming across with links to a google drive account but the file is no longer on there. I'll keep looking. I appreciate you guys lending a hand. I know it can be frustrating trying to help someone with limited understanding of something remotely. You guys are great.
