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.

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.

doublechecked boot.bin (where identical), not sbl.bin though

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] Flashed N7000XXLQ2 but no CSC?

Hi there!
I have flashed N7000XXLQ2 with mobile ODIN as downloaded from SamFirmware. All seemed well until i got the NULL keyboard error. After *#1234# it appears that CSC: Unknown
Is there a vlaid CSC file within the N7000XXLQ2_N7000XXLPT_N7000XEULP4_HOME.tar file? How do I manually extract the CSC or should i try getting it from another source?
I am literally selecting the tar file in mobile odin and letting it do the rest....
But I have moved CSC which I think is part of the problem. If so, where/how do I get a CSC XEU file that i can flash in recovery?
Thanks!

I had all sorts of issues getting the CSC back when I flashed that ROM, flashing a multi CSC file and wiping from within the device (on a safe kernel, though I think it was risky even with that in place) that was the only way I could get it to change/go back.

Just extract the tar file with 7zip till you have 3 files. The one labelled "cache" is the csc. Reflash that with a safe kernel as above poster said as it will do a full wipe.

I tried flashing the cache.img but that did not work in both mobile odin and recovery. I have not used CWM though.

Just flash CSC with same full ROM file
Ope PC odin, select CSC tab, point to Full ROM file , leave rest of field as it is and Flash.
Note: This (any method mobile odin/CWM/PC odin) will wipe your device, as well you shud know wiping data is not safe on ICS.

Fantastic - simply works like a charm...apart form losing root but I'll just have to go and get that back!
Thanks,
John

If i get a null error from keyboard all i do is i just reflash the rom and everthing is fine again.

Changing csc won't erase root, just erase data only.

Just update.
I also done same as you mentioned to correct CSC error.
Phone get fully flashed since you pointing whole rom file under CSC on PC ODIN.
I lost root and rerooted again with PhilZ-cwm6 under ICS.
But this is the easy way of overcome keyboard null problem due to CSC error.
Thanks for direction.:laugh:

Hello,
On my GT-3110, I am running ROM][P3110][Jelly Bean 4.1.1] kwbr Expresso, and I wanted to add an exit button to the stock browser by adding a line in others.xml in CSC folder. Then, I noticed that I don't have CSC folder. I searched and I came to your post.
I have the rom zip of ][P3110][Jelly Bean 4.1.1] kwbr Expresso. So, I wanted to do what you say. (flashing with CSC checked), but I cannot flash a zip file with Odin, it seems. What is the best solution to have a CSC folder? Maybe I am missing something basic...Can you give some advice?
PS: I looked in the rom zip, and there seems to be no CSC folder. So, I suppose I need to change the rom...
PS2: Well, I installed stock rom and backed up the csc folder and the 2 files, by copying them to SD card. Then, I installed stock rooted debloated and deodexed rom (which I found in the meantime, but which has no CSC folder), and I simply copied back the csc folder and the 2 files. Then, I edited feature.xml. As a result, I have an exit button in my stock browser now. I don't know what I did is correct, but at least I have an exit button.

[Q] How to flash a firmware downloaded from Samfirmware?

Hi,
I'm looking to update my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 to the latest official Gingerbread released here in Australia. I have gone here to find and download the firmware. In all the videos I've watched, you're required to use multiple files in Odin to flash a firmware(pda, phone, csc, pit). My problem is though when I opened the downloaded firmware there was only one file, a .tar file. How would I go about flashing this?
Thanks.

Don't flash that. You may run into a problem. I recommend you use GB flashing kit from here: http://d-h.st/4np and flash it. Its for galaxy s. Its got everything you need. If you want a step by step instruction go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966. That is how to use it. I hope I helped! It worked for me!

Samsung galaxy s i9000 upgrade & Odin can't detect tar file

HI people of xda.. I just got a samsung galaxy s i9000 as a present..
It has a 2.3.4 Gingerbread.xxjvp firmware.. I want to upgrade to jelly bean but when i try to root it in my laptop Odin can not detect .tar file..
I followed all the instructions. I did not extract the file..
What seems to be the problem? Please help me..
Many thanks..

How does the file name end ???

Yeah take any symbols or decimal points out of the filename except for the extension obviously. Has to be that if the tar file in the dir isn't displayed when you go to select it in odin.
If you plan on jumping from GB to JB, back up your efs folder because you will very likely lose your imei and have to replace it. If you don't want to lose and have to fix your imei (easy to fix anyway) then you must go via an ics rom (cm9).

Tar file should end with .tar or md5.tar .... im no dev but since i have flash more than 10types of phone and some of it have been super brick.. so pls be careful....

maybe u chose the wrong pit file... i would advise you to use 1 single md5 file instead of using parts file.

you first root and install root explorer then copy "tee" folder to your sdcard
now download firmware of other region and flash it any jellybean
then root again and replace the "tee" folder with the one you saved before
if you want to downgrade to gb download files and just flash pda file and after success boot and then flash hongkong region firmware
