[Q] Can i Combine '(FROYO)' with a '(Gingerbread)' ? (Xchange PDA) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rom that is just 1 file:
FROYO:
NEE.tar (PDA)
and another rom is 4 files:
Gingerbread:
CSC-XXJV1.tar
PDA-XWJVB.tar
PHONE-XXJVK.tar
pit512.pit
I want to mix this 2 ROM and the result is something like this:
CSC-XXJV1.tar
NEE.tar <-- It's from FROYO
PHONE-XXJVK.tar
pit512.pit
IS THAT WORK ?!

I risked and try that.
result => It's worked HoHaa

It worked because CSC files, Modems (Phone) and .pit settings are totally firmware agnostic. All three work with both Froyo and Gingerbread interchangeably.
The pit file simply tells Odin how to set up the partitions. The CSC is the localization info and the Modem is the radio. Both the CSC and the Modem can be flashed via Recovery after install, so there was no real need to flash them at the same time, but it didn't appear to hurt. Likely what happened is they just flashed over the modem and CSC installed by the PDA file.
However, you may want to check in About to confirm the JVK modem is what you ended up with.

Thanks for info @rschenck
I went to downgrade boot loader to FroYo (from Gingerbread). and after that I understood that boot.bin and slb.bin is in PDA file.
I have this files:
boot.bin, slb.bin from JPU ROM
PDA_XWJS8_NEE
CSC_EZbase-XXJV1
PHONE_EZbase-XXJVK
I flashed by ODIN 1.7 and heimdall but it's failed (softbreak)
after that i backed to XWJS8 and i couldn't downgrade boot loader
What's wrong here ?! Do boot.bin and sld.bin is different in different ROMS ? what i need to repartition?
I'm confused sorry

You are over complicating your life to an amazing degree...if all you need are the froyo bootloaders there are much easier ways.
Just search in Google for ezbase and android soul...on that website are excellent instructions for flashing ezbase via odin. From there you can flash anything you want.
Don't try to invent the wheel messing with bin files.

COME ON!!!!
There is a lot of FROYO ROMs and I know that! but I want to try everythings!
and if you not in mood to help, please Don't disapointed me :\
1. anyway, I just want to know is different between boot.bin and slb.bin in all FroYo ROMs?
2.for repartition What's need in put in ODIN ? (just pda, or pda,csc,phone) ?
3.is boot.bin and sld.bin dangerous ?
Thanks again for respond.

[Q] Need help on fixing boot.bin and Sbl.bin for my Korean Galaxy S (M110S)

Hi,
I've wrongly flush a Hongkong ROM (JP3) to my M110s.
The JP3 ROM includes: boot.bin cache.rfs dbdata.rfs factoryfs.rfs param.lfs Sbl.bin zImage modem.bin
Now I've flush back the correct cache.rfs dbdata.rfs factoryfs.rfs param.lfs zImage modem.bin as well as the PIT file and I can get the phone booted with DH23 (The Froyo M110S ROM). However, I can't get the phone work with earlier ROMs.
So what I'm thinking is, my boot.bin and Sbl.bin are still in the wrong status (override by the JP3 ROM) and cannot boot ROM earlier than DH23.
My question is, is there any way I can flush the correct M110S boot.bin and Spl.bin or any other way to get my phone back to normal (can work with ROMs earlier than DH23)?
Many thanks
I don't keep track of the Korea ROMs, but maybe alovell83 can tell you which one you can use to Flash the phone again to correct all the files.
You can always try the Kies registry hack to let Kies do all the work to flash the phoen back to the stock ROM you were using before
Thanks, AllGamer.
Let me try Kies. BTW, what Kies registry hack is for? I did some search, and find it's about changing ProductCode ..

yes you change it to the version of the product you want, then set the firmware to an older version, and then you'll be able to flash it

BTW, does anyone know if the url in the title is the right bml1 and bml5 for m110s?

Where did you get the correct files from to flash them back to the shw-m110s? I have flashed an improper rom on my device and cannot figure out how to fix it back to the original rom.

For ANYONE who has ANY kind of problems with the South Korean version of the Samsung Galaxy S, namely Anycall SHW-m110s you can revert to the ORIGINAL factory settings (internal card format, rom, boot etc.) using the files from the archive from megaupload, which was posted above by Alin_GSM.
I REPEAT the link to use is on megaupload followed by /?d=FSYE7C1N
All credits for this go to him. I fixed my m110s, the 16gb version, using those files after i have used a korean .pit file to re-partition my internal memory and the telephone couldn't mount the internal memory.
Cheers !!
I tried to root my m110s and now can't boot, only have a GT-1000 screen holding. OOPS!!!
So I am getting the repair file mentioned in this thread. God help me what do i do with it. I can boot into recovery mode, have odin, just click start and boot up? Sorry I know I'm an idiot.
hello
Can anyone post a link with m110s roms? thanks

[Q] Can I delete boot.bin and Sbl.bin from a CODE and flash?

Hi guys,
I flashed my SGS to JF3 and got the official Froyo JPO via the latest Kies. I noticed when flashed to JF3, there was step(s) to flash boot loader into the phone. So I guess if that step goes wrong, my SGS will lose 3-button combo. Is that right?
Here is the question: can I simply delete the boot.bin and Sbl.bin from the .tar file and flash without risking updating the boot loader?
Cheers,
I'm looking for the answer to this question as well.
What about ROMs that are meant to be flashed via clockwork? Can the sbl.bin and boot.bin be deleted to avoid flashing the boot loader? Will it flash properly?

If you use Odin3 1.7 to flash the new ROM and not check the "update bootloader" box, even if your PDA file contains boot.bin and/or Sbl.bin, the bootloaders won't be upgraded and you will not lose the 3 button combo
.. but just to be on the safe side, yes, you can safely delete those file inside the .tar file

If it's a CWM .zip, you can delete them. BUT, you also have to remove the lines in the install script that say to install them.
Yes u can flash specific parts of the official firmware by Heimdall instead of Odin.
Search for the thread about heimdall in the forum. After preparing Heimdall, untar the official firmware and assign the relevant parts to each box except sbl and boot.

One of the reasons why we should all switch over to 1.7. For those who are looking for it, click the link in my signature.

that option is available in 1.52 also and by default it's not selected. so does it work with 1.52, or only start from 1.7+?

[Q] How to Flash XXJPY

Hi, I got the JPY ROM from the thread in the general discussion, and any time i have tried to flash it onto my phone, the phone refuses to start properly. It just vibrates a couple of times and black screens.
I am using Odin 1.3 and PIT 512 for this as it says on SamFirmware.com.
Is this the ROM not working properly, or me doing something wrong?
Mate did you click repartition in odin?If you did then you SHOULDNT!!!!
Try to get in to recovery mod with the 3 button combo and make a factory reset if yo had NOT clicked repartition.
In case had HAD clicked repartition in Odin then i guess you ll have to download a foul stock firmware and flash it.Meaning a firmeare that has Modem and CSC files aswell and not only PDA file...
I'm just about to flash XXJPY and I was just wondering, do I have to unroot 'before' flashing the single file (pda) XXJPY or can I leave it as is..?? Does it make any difference..??
Thanks

nah you dont need to have it rooted to flash JPY.
I believe the JPY file in the general forum is just an upgrade / high level package which is why you dont tick repartition. Usually look for posts by Richthofen- hes the dude who converts it to mid level packages so you can couple it with a CSC and modem.
hi there same thing happened to me i updated this thru samsung kies im stock at black screen would factory reset make my phone work again? i need help please please please

I am already rooted so should I un-root before flashing or just leave it rooted..???
And also have SGS Battery Icon Mod installed, again does this have to be un-installed before flash or not..??
Can someone post a link to the right ROM that I can use to update using ODIN that will not result in existing data lost ? The one that I downloaded is a single tar file (Size - 298,890KB) that contains these files. If this is the right file, do i just specify the tar file in the PDA and uncheck repartition ?
modem.bin
param.lfs
zimage
cache.rfs
factoryfs.rfs

Another XWJS5 (new) in Samfirmware

Does anybody know the difference between the two XWJS5 firmwares?
Difference...
Yes. The previous one is for Heimdall and the new one is for Odin.
As I saw.
I have heard that the new one contains a bootloader update.
I don't know if its true tho.

Previous JS5 was an update flash (1 file), this one is a FULL Rom (3 file, 242mb). The same difference between JS3 and XEN JS3.
Anyway it shouldn't be 803 .pit. To recover from experimental partitioning I use JS3-full (which is tagged as 803) with 512.pit since 803 doesn't work for me.

Thanks for that ! I'm trying to install these JS5 since yesterday with .pit 803 without success : mount problem at reboot after odin success, formating in recovery doesn't work and updating couldn't been done by new rom (vibrate loop reboot).
Changing to 512 .pit seems to solve this problem : my phone just restarts on JS5 now !

OT- that's interesting as I flashed js3 with 803 unsuccessfully but it works with 512.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Content of I9000 XEN I9000XWJS5.rar:
Code:
GT-I9000-CSC-XENJS3.tar.md5
I9000XWJS5-REV03-ALL-low-CL869633.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5
Confirmed there are a bootloader and a Sbl file, even though those are likely the same of those included in the previous XEN JS3. I'll make a checksum to verify
UPDATE: there is no update in this new XEN JS5, md5sum for boot.bin is identical to the one bundled within XEN JS3

guys please let me understand.... so why you are speaking about .512 and .803 .pit?
Using odin with last rom js5 from samsungfirmware I have to select just one file in pda tab, whitout .pit file.
what's wrong in my flashing way?
Be careful on updating. Double check the bootloader and Sbl.bin. We don't want the sgs to be locked, like the galaxy tab.

.pit file is used to flash the full rom (phone + modem + csc) with re-partition flagged, basically the pit file tells odin where to write the filesystems.
Whenever you have just one file (phone), you don't need either pit or re-partition flag. This last XEN JS5 is a FULL rom.

Just for clarify it, Samsung's 'locked' bootloader on Galaxy Tab is not the problem about download mode... The signed bootloader also allow flashing the device later... The problem is just about the files what you can use... With Samsung's signed bootloader you can flash in the future just also signed kernels, you basically you willl not able to flash custom ROM-s in the future... You can flash firmwares with Odin, you can flash Samsung beta firmwares also, just simply could not flash custom ROM-s... This could be big problem or verly small also based on your usage habit. While I use 2.2.1 I simply not use custom ROM-s, but of course before I used... Nowadays 'signed' situations could not break my life with i9000, but with Galaxy Tab it could ... at least in the near future, as it's ROM not as good as the current i9000 versions...

Thanks for explaining this ! But I couldn't understand why you couldn't donwgrade to a non-locked bootloader with Odin ? Don't have access to it ? But without access to it it couldn't be modified with latest Samsung FW via Odin ?
Hi
Still not patched to fixed.
for me it is interesting too why it is so messy about downgrade, could someone just wipe bootloader and force flash older back?
when i flash this i cant get the swedish keyboard in my phone
any ideas on this ist this the european ver i reverted back to I9000XWJM5 i kies tells me there is no update
Sorry one is not hiedemell both are odin one is full 3 file package which requires 803 pit file and other is single pda file flashable without pit or repartition from any previous stock rom

[q] help! Sgs bricked?

hey guys need ur help ^^
think my sgs is bricked tried to flash several stock roms but every time it freeze at dbdata.rfs
dunno what to do .. :S
Can you give some more info please. What ROMs and PIT? And does the phone boot at all?
personally i'd try darkyys ressurection rom with the pit that comes with it and repartition checked.
not had a hole yet that it hasnt gotten me out of.
It's not bricked, i've using a "update" ROM (most of ROM dumped from Kies spoofing) with re-partition under Odin => It's doesn't work because these update ROM doesn't in 99% of time the dbdata.rfs which is need for repartition.
If you want to use pit file and repartition, you must use a "Full" ROM like JPU ou XEN JS5 available on SamFirmware.
