So what exactly is wrong with your phone right now? is it up and running and you just want to get 2e installed?? or is your phone dead? anyways, easiest way to do it is grab a copy of Odin, then grab a copy of hardcore's speedmod kernel, open odin, put your phone into download mode, plug your phone in, make sure odin finds it, click the pda button, locate the speedmod kernel.tar file and click ok, then click start, it will be very fast and it will flash a new kerel on your phone.
ive been needing to flash 2e recovery too. is it ok to just flash the pda?

Download either hardcores kernel or chainfires cf root kernel flash using odin by putting kernel in pda.
sounds nice and simple. ill do the odin way. op, you can also try the sgs kernal flasher app found in this forum and never touch a computer
1. install sgs kernal flasher
2. flash a kernal which includes 2e
3. ????
4. profit!

To some this might sound stupid but I kind of 'Intentionally' deleted absolutely EVERHTING from my phone with CWM. I am really a noob at this stuff, i've been looking for threads explaining a fix (if there is one) but I haven't found anything. In case you're wondering, I deleted everything because I tried to flash a new rom and it just stayed with the one I was using previously, please help me out here.
When I turn on my Captivate it just stays on the AT&T boot screen.
ALSO: I can't go into CWM recovery, what can I do? Please help!
Simply flash an appropriate kernel through Heimdall/Odin. It's no big deal.

Ok, how do I know what the appropriate kernel is and how do I flash it?
As I said, I'm a noob at this stuff
EDIT: Ok so i've found a kernel and flashed it. The phone boots up but stays at a "Galaxy S SGH-i897" screen and it says samsung on the bottom, but that's it. I've tried flashing one of those one click odin from this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 but it stays at "setup connection" please help me out here, haha.

See the "Connection Issues..." stickied thread in the captivate general forum.

I mean an appropriate kernel depending on your current ROM, i.e. if you're on Gingerbread, flash corn, if ICS, flash semaphore.
And yeah the phone isn't going to boot past there because you wiped /system probably. Either flash a ROM through CWM or Odin.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
Well thanks guys! I finally got it working. I ended up flashing a stock GB rom that i got from that thread. Since Odin didnt work ( ) i used Heimdall to flash gb 2.3.4
Thanks for the help!
Hi people!
My phone is bricked and I found a backup of my efs (efs.rfs), but I can't flash because I only get crash in ODIN.
What can I do? What's wrong with ODIN?
Best Regards,
Cristian Silaghi
Have you done a nandroid backup? And also can you access to CWM? If yes try to erase everything.
And for odin do you used download mode? Try to unzip the stock rom and put it correctly in program then use download mode, connect your phone and let's start till it finish.
If everything don't work, go to S.A.V and say you don't know what happen'd to your if your warranty is safe.

No, I didn't done a nandroid backup.
It's just flickering when I boot up and when I access CWM.
Yes, I used download mode.
Do I need a special archiving mode for ODIN?
Go to cwm, wipe everything and then flash a new rom like dreamw or another rom. And then when flash is finish wipe everything again.

I can't access Recovery Mode/CWM. It's flickering the screen. What can I do it's just access Download Mode. There's a chance to make phone work if I flash my original stock firmware (but I can't find on the internet firmware stock from Orange Romania, Froyo version, that version which came with the phone).
Then flash a stock firmware this is the most simple for save your phone

I repeat: I can't find my original stock firmware from Orange Romania. Nobody leaked it...
I tried some "miraculous" firmwares which worked from some users, but I think that firmwares was the original ones which came with those phones.
Contact this user.
U are not clear, if ur phone is bricked nothing can be done.
Of course they are not 100% original firmwares but they work and that is all that is needed.
As u can access download mode just flash a GB stock firmware.

I installed "Galaxy Ace Unlock".
The screen is flickering when I start the phone and when I access CWM/Recovery Mode.
Only thing what works is Download Mode (without flickering).
ODIN just crashes (Galaxy Ace Unlock made a backup, but that backup cannot be flashed in ODIN, at least in my case) when I try to flash EFS.
Maybe ODIN doesn't support of flashing EFS backup in GT-S5570... Can anybody confirm that I'm wrong?
Galaxy ace unlock? Did i miss something? I tought you cant flash ace things on mini. However, i got the stock rom here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zx83r9p30zqxd6r
Its stock 2.3.4 for galaxy mini.

This is a tutorial i helped someone else with:
I think you already got the files, in case not download them again.
--WARNING-- Your phone must be charged to 90% or more, to prevent flash failure.
okay, put your phone in download mode. (power button, home button, and volume down button at same time) connect it to usb, and start odin.
Select ops file,
than select the boot file, named: APBOOT_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
Select Phone file: MODEM_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02.tar.md5
The PDA file: CODE_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
and as last the CSC file: CSC_S5570SERKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
--MAKE SURE THIS IS RIGHT, AND ELSE YOUR PHONE CAN BE FATAL BRICKED!!!--
okay, all good?
right. click start.
wait till your phone reboots,
THEN, remove your usb cable.
and then the last part: Have fun!

/efs backup can help you only when your IMEI gets corrupted and you don't have gsm network. That means you can boot Android, but you will have problems with baseband.
You have another type of problem, right now efs can't help you, you must boot into system first.
domini99, tried already to do that. Without success

domcale, the app "Galaxy Ace Unlock" made a backup of /dev/block/stl5 (called "stl5.rfs") which I found on memory card.
If I can't boot up in system/CWM/Recovery and I can enter in Download Mode, what this means?
Can't enter recovery? Dunno why you can't, but if you can enter download mode, then you can flash stock rom using Odin
Hello everyone,
I've got an Australian vodafone GT-i9000 which i bought that was having issues boot looping on power on. Sometimes it can boot loop for 20 seconds (looping at the Samsung screen, not the S screen) while others it can boot loop for 20 minutes before powering on.
I've tried flashing with ODIN using the 512 pit to numerous stock versions, most recently this : GT_I9000_XWJVP_XXJVQ_VAUJV6_Sbl (stock vodafone AU rom). The flash goes fine, however if I select format with the 512 PIT I can get the following message after the reboot:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblkop2
Even if this message doesn't come up on flash, The phone keeps boot looping. Once started, the phone seems to work fine detecting internal & SD memory. I want a more permanent fix however, because if I was planning on giving it to a friend and 'leaving the phone boot looping until it starts' is probably too hard for them to understand. Also I'm not sure if there's an issue with the internalSD which is causing the problem, and if it is, it could cause further issues on more harder use.
Anyone had this sort of issue? The phone was flashed with ICS when the guy sent it to me, he said the bootloops started after he upgraded to ICS. I've got a 32gb SD- tried removing before flash and having it in while flash with no success (have seen a guide for installing on external SD for the i9000m- however it looks like you can only do this if the media device has completely failed). It seems to boot every time using a bootloader kernal (cant remember the name, ICE something from memory) into the recovery software- so maybe a busted sector on the internal SD?
Ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Dylan
Maybe try going into cwm wipe internal same card memory, remove external as card, put into download mode and flash with Odin using pit and repetition checked, if you get the devblock error flash this is PDA without repetition checked and without pit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140

Bit of a problem with that matey, Kies says the phone does not support firmware updates through KEIS and the rom i've been flashing with KEIS is the full standard rom from Vodafone- includes CSC, PDA and phone files. from memory the PDA file contains the standard bootloader yeah?
Look at this
Take a Firmware with the red SBL ending, thats with bootloader, flash it in download mode via odin and the problem should and must be solved through this !!
btw: i recommend to flash a JW5 version.. please tell us if this worked !

I went to recovery mode than i selected CWM.zip and flashed it..
than in CWM I wiped Data
but i think data was not wiped ! phone automatically turned on... and was hanged on Samsung logo.. i thought it has been done
now i went to apply zip from sd card.. i applied the zip provided by eybee1970
Done.. it installed.. now it was showing Samsung's New Logo on startup..
i was happy coz i thought now m on JB !
than I waited 10 minutes but phone was hanged on samsung's logo
i thought maybe it is installation problem..
I again went to recovery mode.. now my recovery mode was changed ! i was directly into CWMR
and i seen kernel also changed ! it was Philz's Kernel...
I thought now its perfect for my Note.. Now i can install JB
i again flashed that Zip file..

First off all always read related thread carefully before trying new rom on your Note. There are lots of warning in this forum not to use recovery mode when you are on stock ICS rom.
Anyway try to install stock gingerbread rom on your note using pc odin. It is better to use Dr. Ketan`s step by step guide to root your note and installing new rom. I hope you are able to go to download mode. BEST OF LUCK

I guess u bricked ur note..if odin fails, then try claiming warranty from Samsung, if your phone is under warranty..
If not, try jig, JTAG, PIT file methods..*after reading & understanding completely & thoroughly*
I've been there buddy....
1. Download a safe kernel *.tar for flashing from pc odin
- after install u'll be able to get into recovery
2. Get an original firmware from www.sammobile.com
-u r gonna flash it from pc odin along with the PIT file.
-- boot into download mode
-- flash firmware
-- finish... now can continue flash new kernel and ROM

And if you are not sure about flashing a rom,its better to take it again to service center
was it proper Samsung service center?
what did they say? did they change the motherboard?
check if your usb storage is 11gb, if yes, then flash a safe kernel and do a factory reset and test again
