Hi all,
I am trying to flash my G1 to one of the nice custom roms. I flashed the recovery and spl just fine.
Now I cannot flash anything. I've tried different roms (cyanogen and dude's) and even tried flashing the radio. No love. The error is that it cannot find my sdcard or update.zip.
Phone is pvt and is rooted.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Hank
What steps did you take to root? Is your card fat32?
Did you mount the sdcard on windows? If you did, rename the file to update not update.zip on WINDOWS! Also, can you even mount your sdcard? If not, then there's your problem.
I followed the rooting instructions from this site. i do have # in the local terminal.
i can mount the sd card and i did mount in windows to transfer fikes over. i should just name them update not update.zip?

That will probably help.. By default Windows hides the extension (the .zip part) so when you rename it to "update.zip" you actually make it update.zip.zip
Easy way to check is look at the original file.. if it says something like
Code:
update-cm-3.6.6-signed.zip
you need to rename to
Code:
update.zip
if it says
Code:
update-cm-3.6.6-signed
then just call it
Code:
update
Thanks. Getting a signature error now.
Will try a different version of the file once I am off Caltrain.
Yeah - if you have a modded recovery and get that error, it's most likely a bad download. Good luck.
That did it. It is always something so simple.
Thanks a ton. Hopefully this thread will help someone else as well.
last week

yes .i tick re-repartition , and it can't start after flashing 2.1 rom or 2.2 rom
somebody said "when some date is writing during the voodoo runing,at that time power off by accident could make SD Card block"
"E:\" can't wipe , how can i fomat E: partition ?
i'm keeping on wait
thank you
lets get this correct download mode works
Flashed to Eclair but still fails to boot as voodoo was enabled /is enabled .
Therefore phone cannot be seen by PC and cannot boot to format .
can you get into clockwork recovery mode and format from that and wipe all data .
You said

What software was this you downloaded .
You get no other answers it will have to be a Samsung service centre .

thank you very much ~
i'm not good at English , so "Eclair" means 2.1 rom ?
1. when it turn off i can't get in recovery mode ,so voodoo is enabled when i flashed 2.2 rom .
2. i used a software named "UC xunlei" to down a salmpe 720P RMVB video at that time . then it turned off.
3. clockwork recovery can't use . only samsung recovery mode can get in.
4. my i9000 was sending to Samsung service centre yesterday, but they said "maybe they can't repair it either"
"sigh................."
I'll try to walk you through step by step through a method that has never failed..If it still fails then your internal SD might have issues..
1. Download XXJPU firmware from samfirmware.com
http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5
The password to this zip file is: samfirmware.com
Once the file is extracted, you will have 4 files in it:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100512.pit
2. Open Odin
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5 The file that has MODEM in its file name.. SORRY!!!!!
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.
7. If you still encounter the same error then report back here... I might have another idea. Hopefully you don't get the error again though...
Edit:
If that fails you can read this guy's post..
This guy seemed to have been lucky and got is supposed dead I9000m SGS working again. Here's his procedure:

That solution looks fine but i'm in worst situation ever since i can't do this:
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
My phone is stuck in the fisrt screen.( with this text Samsung Galaxy s i-I9000)
i can't enter in download mode, i also noticed that even the battery icon doesn't show up i only get loading icon not the battery one. Please help.
damnit, i tried the method anoneemooz posted. But Odin just stops after a couple of minutes flashing, and gave me the error message: Couldn't write to...
I can go in download modus and in recovery mode, but i cannot flash a ROM. I tried a couple of 2.2.1 ROMS
it dispaly " DATA_LOOP=FALSE CACHE_LOOP=FALSE DBDATA_LOOP=FALSE BIND_DATE_TO_DBDATA=FALSE"
now, i still can't wipe or fomat my internal SD Card
notice"E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(invalid argument)"
also it shows "Error mounting /mnt/sdcard/ android_secure!
Skipping format..."
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Should that not be MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
Ignore it if i am wrong .

To all who run into Odin problem:
SORRY!!! For PHONE it should be the file that says MODEM in its filename. Copy pasted wrong name.
Download jg5 from samefirmware.com
Close everything relatet to keys and nps. Check in the tray and close if its running there. Use Odin3 v 3.1 and make sure u put the files in the right place:
PDA=Code
Phone=Modem
CSC=CSC
As pit download 512.pit
Check repartition.
AFTER tgis put ur phone in download mode and connect it.
Thrn click start and let it do its thing. If it doesnt work just try 3 or 4 times. Always been able to fix the error u get like this

Good Morning
Very ironic,but i came here to ask about rooting my phone a year back and now i'm back in sort of the same situation..
A year back I rooted my froyo 2.2.1 based Galaxy S to a gingerbread version,then i used quite a few of the ICS roms available on this forum,had been using Cyanogen for the past few months.Yesterday i had some free time,so i thought would check out the JB roms available.
So i did the usual,download the JB version of Fishears since i had a iNand.put it in my internal sdcard..but i could not access the memory card from CWM 5.0.2.7..,so i put it in my external memory card and tried to run the zip from there,but the process got aborted in the middle,tried it twice,dint work.
Then i remembered i had faced this internal memory problem before,had to go and switch on the debugging mode in the developer option.[P.S:- i had been facing the encryption successful problem for half a year,was too lazy/busy to fix it,i just took it in my stride and rebooted a lot to get into the homepage]
So,I'm in CWM and i run the usual process and run the zip file from the internal sdcard,it started out fine,them BOOM.my phone reboots all of a sudden.When it restarts,it does not have a OS to boot into,the green android image with a red exclamation mark and a few text appears which happens too fast to read and it keeps rebooting and this process goes on.
I can still access CWM and the download mode,i tried going into CWM but the internal sd doesnt open and the zip file fails to mount from the external sd.
So i thought **** it,i'll do the rooting part again and i run up ODIN,download the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel,and i see it is just 15 mb or so,i remembered i used more than 1 file and used the pit folder also,but i read it on the semaphore website,its only 1 file and have to use it as the PDA.went to download mode and odin recognised it and the process completed without a hitch,it even showed a green PASS..
but the problem came when it had to reboot after the process,it got stuck in the "Galaxy S GT I9000" page and never moved forward.it was there for 30 minutes or so before i pulled out the battery.
Basically
1.I cant get past that page
2.I can access the CWM and Download modes
3.I accepted my mistake and thought of not doing any more mistakes,so icame here
4.When i boot into CWM mode,these errors come

Ok dont know whether this is good or bad
I installed CM9 from the external sd as the internal sd was inaccesible in any way..the installation showed info like
"the internal sd card marker could not be found
Going ahead with installation"
the installation continues and restarts once and updates but it does not boot into the main page,it directly goes into the Encryption Unsuccessful page.When i try Reset Phone,it goes into the CWM recovery screen with some errors,
when i try to install CM10 from this recvery screen,it initially stops the installation saying the data partition layout is different and all my data will be wiped.run the .zip to go ahead with the progress.I run this it goes directly into the CWM 6.0._._ and it doesnt show any errors,i try to reboot it gets stuck on the galaxy s screen.
this situation is better than the previous condition as i know a OS can still run on my Phone..Just need to get this thing rectified now
Please if anyone could help me right now,i would be really grateful..not able to contact anyone without my phone
It might be a hardware problem... I had something similar

Is there a way to download contacts from gmail without gapps,the play store is not included in the original rom and i'm hesitant to go into CWM recovery mode as i will have to tackle the EU page again
Anyways thanks for your help,will have to fix this problem once and for all after i reach home

Next, i've recently ( october ) Root and Flash my phone, and installed the SGSIII Rom. My roommate have take my phone and have put the wrong code 55 times(genius) and now i can't turn on my phone ! It's locked on the " S III " screen .. So i need your help. I'm a noob, like says the video
And I don't nknow what to do. I think i should use a " recovery " but i'm not sure of the meaning of " recovery " so I'm stucked..
Really need your help guys
EDIT : I forget one thing, i just want to back up my phone to the normal version .. No root, no flash, i got blackmart alpha so whyr oot ? x)

Switch off ur phone. Now, press HOME+POWER buttons together. The screen you will see after that is known as "Recovery".
However, if you want your phone normal as before (no root) then, firstly, you need STOCK FIRMWARE of YOUR COUNTRY. Also, be careful... if your phone has 'i' or some alphabet after model name (such as: Galaxy Ace 5830i) then you need 5830i firmware.
REMEMBER:- 5830i is not same as 5830(without 'i').

Thank you for your answer.
I've found a stockfirmware of Europe ( i'm french so i hope it's ok ) for android 2.3.3 ( my version of android ) called S5830XWKPO.
What should I do ?
If you remember your (previous) stock firmware version & you are sure that now you have the correct firmware for your specific device model, then search on GOOGLE for firmware flashing methods for your model. You may also find plently of them here on XDA too. You can also find as many video tutorials on youtube.
Firmwares are generally of two types:- full package(contains 4 files) & one package(contains two files). You can extract the downloaded firmware file to ensure whether it is "full" or "one package". You need Odin.exe to flash firmware & an "ops" file.
... & PC (ofcourse...)
& By the way... what was that "wrong code" you are referring to??

I've find the correct version firmware for my phone, that is ok. But, i put it on my SD Card and my phone can't detect it .. When i turn it up with HOME + POWER buttons, i go on " install .zip from SD card " and i can't see the file .. I'm a bit stucked.
Ok, to make that my phone back to factory leaving ( excuse for bad english xD ) i must Re-flash it ? Like a normal flash, but with this firmware ? And after, must I unroot it ?
EDIT : Ok, i've put the .zip file on my SD card, and i select : " install zip from sdcard " , after " choose zip from sdcard " and at least i select th S5830XWKPO file and i push home. it launch the installation and says :
-- Installing: /sdcard/S5830XWKPO.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update
Installation aborted
And i dont now why it aborts.. Maybe because it's the wrong file ? I really need help i'm a bit lost in all of those firmwares, continents and all of that x')
Thanks for help dude
Read the tutorials, to flash a firmware you need a pc and odin.
Recovery is for installing custom roms.

No No Bro!!... You can't flash it from your phone. Transfer that S5830...zip file to computer & extract it. Then open Odin.exe & place appropriate files in the concerned fields.
For one package f/w installation, tick the option "one package" in odin screen, then place that single ".tar.md5" file under One Package field.
However, if you got full package, you need to place those files in appropriate fields.
(Just search about flashing processes on google.com to know how exactly it's done.)
[]*Remember:- To flash stock firmwares you need to have pc & phone drivers & only custom roms can be flashed through CWM recovery(via phone)*[]
Hope this helps...!!!

My original Asus SD card is not recogniezd by my laptop whereas a micro SD card on an adapter is recognized. I think I need to use the original one to flash the tablet. Any idea?
Thank you

Need more info. Format type of internal SD? Drivers? OS? Etc...
Thank you for your reply. Are the above links given to give me a hand (stupid question certainly)?
Well, I am going to try to repair my tablet with a new SD card. But I need help right from the start.
Living in France, I suppose the right firmware must start with WW. I have downloaded all these firwares from Asus:
UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.27-user.zip, UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.29-user.zip, UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip, WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip, WW_epaduser_10_14_1_47_UpdateLauncher.zip, WW_epaduser_V11_4_1_17_updatelauncher.zip.
Which one should I use? What am I going to do next?
When I start it in flashboot mode, I get the message "Android Macallan-user BL released by "WW_epad_11.4.1.30-20150121"
Press ...
Starting fastboot USB download protocol"

Well you should use the latest one which is UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip
I'm not sure what you are attempting to do? Are you saying that your internal data is not working or just not recognised by windows. If the later you probably just need to update your drivers on windows.
Have a search for the latest compatible windows ones for Asus.
my tablet is stuck in boot process. I did something wrong when deleting built-in apps, so I have to make a recovery.
I made some progress in the meantime. Connected the tablet to the PC, put the CWM boot.img in the fastboot folder, put Asus UL-K00C-WW-11.1.4.30 firmware on the SD card, started fatboot.exe and got the menu on the tablet (reboot system now - install zip - wipe data partition - ...), started install.zip.
Now I get the message "This package is for KOOC; this is a tf701t. Error in storage/USBdisk1h/ul-KOOC-11.4.1.30-user.zip.Installation aborted
external SD card recovery to stock

This procedure did not work. However I have installed CyanogenMod with the Cyanogen recovery on the tablet and finally coud boot. Now I would like to go back to the Asus settings. How can I do this? The Asus UL-K00C-WW-11.1.4.30 firmware, as I said before, is followed by the message "This package is for K00C; this is a tf701t.", but the tablet appears as K00c in My Computer. Different names, same device!

Did you rename the stock firmware zip file to T4_SDUPDATE.zip and put the zip firmware file on the root of the EXTERNAL SD card and power on or restart your device. it should detect a firmware update. if it does not detect any firmware update after about 1 or 2 minutes or it boots normally, go into bootloader and select RCK from the menu with zip file on the external sd card.
it sounds like you were trying to install the stock firmware zip file through the custom recovery install zip option which will not work. TF701T is KOOC... also, make sure 100% that your Tablet is the WW version and not the TW or US version!

The zip firmware file was on the root of the EXTERNAL SD card. I did go into bootloader and select RCK from the menu, then install zip file --choose zip from /storage /USB disk1h -- T4_SDUPDATE.zip.
I am going to try the other versions of the firmware.

okay, since you have a custom recovery the zip file is not detected. CM and CWM recovery are not the same. you should be able to find an installable stock file somewhere or try another rom. As long as you have a working recovery installed then you should be good to go for any updates.
This is your best bet for near stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/development/rom-t2999102

Since I can use the tablet with CyanogenMod now, I am satisfied. The links you gave me above helped me a lot.
Thank you. I could not have made it without your help. Warm handshake.
