Hello all,
this problem frustrates the hell outta me, now i have been informed by Kies that a new firmware is there for Gtab...but...i start updating, then the mesage "DLL LOAD FAIL" appears, whilst the Gtab is displaying a yellow "android robot" doing some cleaning and stuff...
My code is an XSG one, and i cannot seem to update at all...please help, as i have searched alot here in the forums, but could'nt find any (unless i missed, of course).
ow, i read about the odin way of updating, but i still could'nt get a solid guide on how to do it...would appreciate anyone to shed some light on it too...if possible..
thanks
anyone please ???????
you should be able to find all kinds of info on Odin. last thing I read on Odin that should help is the little how to guide that is posted with the Gingerbread OverCome ROM. go take a look at it inthe Development section.
thanks, but, does languages gets affected by the odin method ?
my gtab is localized to have arabic on it, if i do any odin will it be gone ? It seems odin is the only option i have since samsung kies itself seems faulty, and refuses to work with this DLL LOAD FAIL kinda thing.
shall i proceed ?
EDIT: now i figured out another new error: unzip error...so i installed winrar, and, the update completed ! However, i only received a minor update for the current froyo firmware, there were no gingerbread for me (code XSG)...whats that supposed to mean ??
I have no idea about locality. i would imagine the important thing is the actual ROM you are flashing. Odin just loads what you give it. Proceed at your own risk. if you are nervous, wait a few days until there is more feedback available from the community.

I've spent DAYS just to figure out how I can get the new firmware.. I've had Kies once, but had to un-install it because, whenever it asked me to install the new firmware and I checked, it would always say: ''An error occured'' without giving any bit of information on why the error occured. Now I'm re-installing Kies.. I've my battery life on 100% etc. So I hope it works this time.
Can anyone please give me a link to a guide, or please tell me the basic things to be aware of when trying to download 2.2?
Please I think I am the only one in europe who is stuck with the 2.1 and I REALLY want a faster Galaxy S with Flash etc. So please help. My threads always get burried and ignored :/

By ''flash'', I meant flash on websites, like being able to watch videos on websites etc. I don't wanna root or flash my phone, don't want to risk my phone. I just want to regularly update my phone to 2.2.
So please help

If you want the standard official upgrade without flashing your phone then their are two ways one via Kies or two via a Samsung service centre .
An error occured'' without giving any bit of information on why the error occured
If we knew what the error was ???
ALTERNATIVE method .

Hello
I hope i have posted in the right section and someone can explain too me if this is right or wrong.
I just downloaded the 2.0 version of samsung kies software,when i plugged my phone in it said i could do a firmware upgrade for my phone.
So of course i did so,i first done the backup which was an option in the process.Then pressed ok and it started doing its thing.
Well i left it and came back too see a green android guy on the phone and a message on laptop saying the update had failed and i need too recover the fail by going into emergency firmware recovery mode.
I did this(pressed yes) and it started doing its thing again and rebooted the phone,after it had done it said too disconnect and reconnect my usb cable which i did and the phone was back running again.
The question i have is what basically just happened?
I presume it was a fail on the firmware update since thats what it told me but on checking my stats it had done what it said it was going too and thats upgrade from CSC: JP5 to CSC: JP6.
So it said it failed but on the samsung kies software it now says the csc JP6 and i cant update any firther.
Im sorry i should maybe of checked the code better too be honest i didnt check the full version upgrade, i just thought ok firmware upgrade yup ill do that and flicked through the yes options til the upgrade started.
Thanks for any replies.I have a untouched samsung galaxy S by the way,i not done anything too it except installed apps and games.So no roms,no lag fix,no hacks at all.
Its been a coupleof days now since my post so hope its ok too comment in it again so maybe i can get some help.
Im not sure if my first post explained itself enough so if anyone has any questions i will be happy too answer them.I dont know if my phone will be affected long term but the fail or not.
Csc..what is this why had the software felt it needed too be changed from 5 to 6 ?
the fact it said it failed yet on checking i cannot update again and it has in fact changed from 5 to 6 as it said it would.All my added shortcuts on home screens went but the files stayed.
csc....has anyone also got the changed firmware like i have and gone through the failure too get it.
Im trying too add my own questions in the hope someone has some answers since i see many questions get answered in this section within no time,but mine seems too of stumped some.
thanks for replies guys it will settle my mind and i will of course try too find my own answers and if all else fails i will contact samsung and ask them what went wrong.
Hi,
I installed Kies today and connected my girlfriends cellphone, a Samsung Champ Duos (don't know if it's a phone only for the Philippino market)... Same here, started up first time and Kies prompted me to update the phone's firmware. I followed the steps, something went wrong and I was told to perform an emergency recovery.
I tried, but after 63% an error message appear telling me that something went wrong and "if the problem persists please contact support centre".
I've tried the recovery process maybe 20 times now and same every time. I have already sent an email to the support, but hoping someone here knows how to fix this in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure Kies can be unreliable...
Have you tried another computer?
Try the recovery again but hold the usb cable in place, it may have a loose connection
Either way support should answer you shortly and they will sort it out, as it should be under warranty and kies messed it up. They will probably tell you to find your nearest service centre...
@Caz2k11 if you ever read this again and still haven't got your answer, it shouldn't have affected you that there was a problem installing in the first place.
CSC - there is a sticky on the the general section that describes most of this stuff but in brief i think its either country specific code or country service code, something like that. Really its only important if you have problems downloading things from the market, or reception/data related issues. Usually carrier related... Its worth checking you have the correct one when you update as it saves you from changing it later which results in a factory reset.
Ahh damn it...
Got a reply from their support this morning. They apologized and told me I have to send the phone to my nearest service centre. Great for me living in the province and I'll bet the closest service centre is located in Manila....
Does anyone know if the *original rom* is available somewhere on the internet?
Most of us do not use kies to update
You can fiind the latest original ROMs at samfirmware.com

Hehe no ****
I'm running Andriod on my HTC Leo as well, but this is my girlsfriends phone, still warranty so I'll be a bit careful at the moment.
Have registered on the site mentioned above, not sure which file I'm going to use or anything, since I cannot start the phone to see the current firmware etc. The model no. is GT-E2652W and "SSN" is "E2652WGSMH", does that mean it's a E-series phone?
It means a few things ...
First of all, you are totaly at the wrong place since this forum section is for Samsung Galaxy S, and you Champ Duo , well, isn't a Galaxy S !
Second thing is that this forum, as well as samfirmware, deal mostly with Android phones, which your isn't, I believe. It does somehow look like, but isn't.
Sorry I can't help more

Yes, I'm awared of that. Found this thread when I Google-searched "samsung emergency recovery".
Sure, no arm done, it's just that non android phone have a different way to recover. I did a couple of googling too, but must admit I did not find a great deal of information either,
Sorry and best of luck for bringing your device back to happiness.

I purchased a Galaxy S I9000 November last year. I upgraded the firmware to Froyo 2.2 using Samsung Kies in December 2010 with no issues. I also have a lagfix loaded which solved all of my sluggish email issues.
So i connected to Kies today to look for a cpu monitor (high battery use issue) and Kies was kind enough to let me know that there was a firmware upgrade to 2.2.1. All went well through the download until the phone went to reboot. It will now only boot up to the white "S" screen and then stop. It will go no further. I have turned the phone off, removed the battery for a good 5 minutes and when i try to go into recovery (volume down/power/menu button simultaneously) the screen changes to the little green android man in the triangle, shoveling something (i think it is a pile of dead sgs phones) with the word "downloading" directly beneath the triangle and the words "Do not turn off target" below that. It will not change from this screen until i turn the phone off. I did not disable the lagfix app before doing the upgrade download and this may have been the cause of my problem. The phone cannot now connect to Kies.
I am hoping that there is an andriod wizard out there that can help me recover this phone. I would appreciate any help given.
Thanks.
Yes, the lagfix is most probably the reason for the flash failure. Most lagfixes change the filesystem from the standard samsung rfs. When you updated, the new standard samsung firmware is not able to work on the modified filesystem.
The yellow triangle with android with a shovel is a good sign, meaning your phone is not bricked - this is the download mode, which means the phone is waiting for a firmware.
The solution is flashing a new firmware with the program odin using a package which contains pda, modem & csc packages and selecting the repartition checkbox. You also need the 512.pit file. For how to perform such a flash please check the flashing guides in the sticky posts in the general section.
The bad news is that as far as i know this will reset your phone and you will lose all your settings and data. Any stuff on an external sd card should be fine though.
Good luck.

Thanks liraindon appreciate the information. I will have a read thru those sticky`s.
Can you recommend a good site to get odin?

You need to read and understand before doing anything at all .
As your first post proves .

Just wanted to thank you guys for all of your help and advise. I have managed to reprogram with Froyo 2.2.1 and it all seems to be working as it was.
This forum is awesome.
Cheers from New Zealand.
Hey guys,
In a bit of a pickle at the moment. I grabbed an S1 off a friend to try and teach myself about rooting and flashing custom ROMs and such using Odin. With the final intent getting it to run ICS. Not a very hard challenge, but evidently it is for me.
I'll explain what I did, and if you can help without investing too much of your time I would be very grateful.
When I got it, it was running 2.3.3, all the tutorials I read told me to update it to 2.3.6 before doing anything more. I managed to root the phone easy enough, no issues there. But when I tried to put 2.3.6 on via Mobile Odin, (which I used to flash my S2 to ICS, long story) it had seemed to freeze on 'flashing flash kernel' for a good 15 or so minutes.
Being the daft monkey that I am, I exited the program...by removing the battery (don't judge me please). When I went to turn it on, it wouldn't load past the "Samsung Galaxy S" screen.
It goes into Download mode fine, and I've tried to flash an abundance of different Gingerbread ROMs onto the phone and Odin has just been getting stuck on the "setup connection" every time I've tried to flash.
I have tried using different USB ports which is readily suggested by most people and seems to work, using my laptop instead, different cords as well. No luck. Nothing happens when I press volume UP + home + lock like it used to, so I can't even factory reset or anything =\
I did find somewhere that suggested adding a PIT file to Odin and selecting repartition but every one yells at each other when 'repartition' gets mentioned, lol.
I hope this is in the right place, please bare with me if I used any wrong terminologies, I am relatively new to this.
Has anyone got some suggestions that may help me with my problem? =\
Thank you!
Taylor
sigh...here's my recovery kit, unzip, read .txt file, proceed

No problems, was teasing ya! You will end up with root and custom recovery, if you then go to slim website and read and follow installation instructions you will then have lush ics
My first post. To begin I'm not a phone techie so I might get the jargon mixed up but I hope someone will find this helpful.
My phone 'soft bricked' and got into a bootloop. This has happened before whereupon I took is to a phone shop to get it fixed. This time I did it myself after many hours of reading tutorials and trial and error of flashing the firmware and the help of xda forums..
Finding the right version of Odin and getting the right stock firmware that actually loaded onto the phone was the main battle.
Unfortunately as I'm a newbie I not permitted to post links. You have to go to Andriodjinn.com and search for unbricking gt-s5830i. On the page you will find a link to the firmware that works, Click on the one that says Australian link, you get a package with four separate files.
Next you got get the right version of Odin and quite honestly some the guides are a joke. The version of Odin that works with the above is and your phone gt-s5830i is Odin3 v1.85.
There are four separate files, bootloader, pda, modem and csc. Make sure all are entered into Odin.
I didn't find a PIT file necessary and besides there is no PIT file in the above package. All the steps are given in the above web page mentioned, so I wont go through those.
I hope this is of help to somebody and shortcut all their trial and error and Odin 'Fails' as I had.
