I've never been flashing ROM before. I'm using eclair with voodoo lagfix.
I want to install my initial ROM (DXJG4). I plan to do the following :
1. Disable lagfix (voodoo). Reboot
2. Enter download mode
3. Using Odin, install PDA tar.md5 using .512 pit
4. Do I need to check "Re-partition" box? what is the difference between check or uncheck re-partition?
5. Do I need to check "phone EFS clear" box ?
6. Do I need to re-install Phone and CSC tar.md5 ?
Is it the right thing?
thank you very much for helping me out..

Please can you tell me how to install a new kernal through odin?
most kernels here have a CWM version which you can flash without odin, I recommend that!
There is also an app called "sgs kernel flasher" which allows you to flash a kernel right within the running phone!
If you want to use odin, chose pda and no repartion and no pit...

Have you used Odin before ?
1. Put phone in to download mode
2. do not connect phone to usb
3. start odin, select your kernel.tar in the pda selection
4. uncheck re-partition - check auto reboot
5. connect phone to usb - odin will diplay "added" in the txt scroll
6. press start
7. Odin will do it thing & if successful will display a "success 1/failed 0" line in the txt scroll
8. phone will reboot & your good to go.
Remember you do this at your own risk
Thankyou very much
Hi, i have galaxy tab:
PDA: XWJMG
PHONE: XXJMA
Now i started ODIN 1.7 and selected p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar in PDA. I didnt select Re-Partition and did not tick anything and did not select PIT file. Now when i connect it says 'added' and when i click on start it goes through the process and says "failed' in the end. Now my tab shows yellow triangle on it. Help
Do you by any chance have locked bootloaders? Anyway as long as the computer recognizes your tab you can fix it. Just use search.

I dont know about bootloader, its an untouched piece. Please tell me how to fix this tab... :-(
Look at the stickyes in the gsm tab development. Just download a rom that doesn't contain bootloaders and flash it via odin. Again you can find such roms in the development section. Read read and read again and you will be able to fix your tab. One question, why did you flash your tab in the first place?

Download this firmware http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
Then goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082 & read the bit where it says if your tab does not boot...
Hope this helps

You need to dload the P1 hidden pit & full J4 version fw
Is it maybe because the rom you selected says cwm? Isn't that supposed to be flashed in clockwork mod?
Thanks guys for all your help, i flashed pit to my phone via ODIN and piece is alive and working now and gave the tab back to my friend. Now just need to know for the future i have ODIN v1.31 and P1_EUR.pit. I selected pit and P1000JPJJ2 on PDA. Now just need to know before flashing do i need to select repartition?
As i read through the tutorial you only select repartition when you are flashing with the pit file!
If you are installing firmware, Flash the custom kernel that is linked on the same page as the overcome rom 2.13 without partition, Then hold vol up and power will put you in recovery mode, You can flash the rom through there useing the install zip from sdcard option but you must copy the custom rom onto the sd card first....

I had the same problem earlier and then i learned that bootloader for stock JM is signed so it show error ... completion (write) failed ... when you try to upgrade or install custom rom using Odin. I reverted back to resurrect my tab by Odin with pit (follow pit version) and check repartition, auto reboot. It works for me but not sure if it will work for others. Good luck.
I just tried to flash to DarkCore_2.9.3_JVQ.tar using the Darky Rom and now these blue eyes keep coming up blinking? What do??
I tried factory reset and now the Samsung Galaxy S original startup keeps coming up again and again.... i can still go into recovery mode any help pleaseeeeee
Ok your only chance is to flash stock through odin! Go to this website and download your firmware http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares.. Your then going to extract it to your desktop( I find it easier using desktop). Next download odin http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MADK0XTB, then follow this guide http://www.androidgalaxy.net/how-to-flash-a-galaxy-s-phone-back-to-stock/
Once you have that all downloaded open odin, add your PIT file tick re-partition, add your PDA,PHONE and CSC and THEN put your phone in DL mode and connect it... Don't be afraid of the thanks button

I want to go back to gingerbread am rinning Dark Knight rom any help plz
Why God .. why ...
Flash stock through ODIN or Heimdall and thats it
If you had to ask this, it's probably a good thing you're going back to stock.
Sent from my Telus Fascinate running OneCosmics ICS!
why would you say that
Get stock ROM here.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=-1#modelsa
You need stock ROM (3 file stock ROM), Odin & Pit512.
1. Start ODIN.
2. Select the files into the relevant places in ODIN.
3. Click repartition.
4. Put phone into download mode.
5. Connect phone to pc.
6. wait for Odin to connect to phone.
7. click start.
8. wait for ODIN to finish & for phone to reboot.
You must have pit512 and click repartition as ICS uses a different file system to Gingerbread.
You may have a boot loop after doing this. I have had this occasionally. To solve this reflash with ODIN. This time make sure repartition is unchecked and don't flash pit file.
Sorry Screen shot says scs. I meant CSC.
HI dudes,
I'm actually in humeros 4.0.3 ICS on my Galaxy Tab P1000 but I'd like to go back to gingerbread 2.3.3, is this possible through Odin, do I need to re-partition ?
Thanks

Yes it is possible.
You do need to insert PIT file i.e. need to re-partition. Not only that, you need to flash dbdata.rfs as well. I did this twice before.
Follow these steps carefully you should be fine:
1a. Get your 2.3.3 flashable file ready (.rar or .md5) -- you can find it in samfirmware.com if you don't have one yet.
1b. Download this pitfile from following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=631856&d=1308653969
1c. Download this dbdata from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=935230&d=1331091172
2. Start Odin - put the .md5 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.
go back CM9,CM10,ICS from gingerbread
