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.

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+?

Installed Cognition, failed, restored with Odin to AT&T 2.1, Need help getting Rogers
Hi, I'm trying to get my phone to go back to Rogers default firmware, and I flashed with Odin (thinking that would work) but it gave me AT&T firmware, and now I'm stuck with a Captivate that doesn't connect to data and isn't running the proper firmware. I've been trying for hours to fix this to no avail, and I'm just about ready to throw this phone in the garbage. Any step-by-step guides (with the tools on how to use them) on how to restore Rogers original stock rom and firmware?
I'm assuming you used the one-click Odin downloader? That will indeed restore you to a stock 2.1 AT&T firmware.
Find and download Odin (not the one-click version), then use it to flash the following firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9096976&highlight=firmware#post9096976
That should get you back to a working phone. Mind you, you will still have the AT&T splash screen upon boot.
Hey, thanks for the response. Is there any way to get rid of the AT&T splash screen and put it back to the rogers one?
I have gotten back all of the Rogers default settings (including most of the splash screen) but I still don't have a Data connection. Do you know anything to fix that?

nope, until there is a Rogers ODIN dump that can flash a rogers param.lfs (where this image is stored) you are stuck with that AT&T splash screen. The one-click tools are designed for use with the i897 and flash a new param.lfs which can't be modified on the phone (LGSilva did some tampering with it, but I wouldn't personally recommend it). You would need an ODIN image (or possibly a bmlwrite/redbend restore) to get this back.
Either way, you would need a dump of the original param.lfs from an untouched Rogers Captivate to get this back. as the only image I know of right now doesn't contain that, you are SOL until someone finds one that does contain it.

go to AP Settings and enter the following:

user: wapuser1

done.
Hey, thanks for the speedy reply. With those settings I can connect to the Edge network, but I still can't get 3G. Any insights?
I fixed my own problem. Thanks so much for the help! I couldn't have fixed it without you guys!

I need a bit of help with this. I have a Rogers phone, I currently have the AT&T ROM. So I want to get back to rogers.
Which of the files linked above should I use? Firmware or ROM?
Then what do I do in Odin? Get into download mode, unzip the Firmware file, and select the TAR file under "Phone" in odin and hit start? Is this correct? I dont' select any other files in Odin?
Thanks.

You download both.
-First you unzip the firmware and flash the .TAR file with Odin and with the PIT file. (Use the PIT file from this Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439&highlight=Odin3)
-Open Odin, plug your phone in download mode, select the pit file as PIT and tar file as PDA, Click start
-Let it reboot and then copy the ROM onto your internal sd.
-Download and install ClockWorkMOD, open it and choose Install ROM from SD.
-Select your ROM on the root SD and flash.
If you want to get rid of the AT&T boot screen use this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849789

Thank you so much. That's exactly what I needed. I'm familiar with Clockwork, it's just Odin that's been screwing me up.

Your welcome.. next time try to leave your questions in the Q&A
This goes also for you @Morgan
MOD transfer please.
Moved to Q&A.
EDIT: Ignore me, I'm an idiot!
Sorry guys for being a noob.
Story is my tab is rooted and flashed with the OVERCOME RC 2.0 GOLD rom from following alterbridge's thread procedures. Beautiful rom, no complaints.
However the screen has been acting up lately with the finger held down and screen shaking issue.
Ive searched and searched and have concluded its a hardware problem.
I need to flash back to stock for warranty.
For being the noob I am, I've downloaded the stock files....but I don't know how to flash it back.
Attached is a picture of a .zip file of the files inside the zip. Do I use ODIN to flash back? What are the procedures? What file is associated with which box in ODIN? Sorry I just don't have a clue. Or do just throw this into my tab's SD memory and update from CWM recovery mode?...
Do I use superoneclick to unrooted after back to stock rom?
I just don't want to brick my tab...Thanks for any help...
The stock ROM should be a 2.2 FROYO, and the ROM I'm on right now is on Gingerbread...if this makes any difference...
Use this guide first flash with odin it tells you how to flash with odin at the bottom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
and after flash whatever froyo rom you want make sure you got the one that shipped with your device if its going back for warrenty again flash with odin and your done.
Edit dont forget the thanks button if this hellped you .
Thanks for the link.
So i have the .pit file for the PIT section.
No need for phone and csc section i assume.
But for PDA section i dont have any files available? From my attached picture. i only have a data.tar.gz file. Im not sure what that file is? do i just rename it to .tar??? please help
Sorry not sure on them files i think you can use heidmal with those files do a search on here for that
Anyone???
What do I use? ODIN? HEIMDALL? I need help please.
From overcome gold you will have to re-stock to froyo. Which means a repartiton with pit file + phone + modem files. You will need odin for this.
I would suggest flash back to a safe froyo rom first - as per jutleys link above. Then flash back to your original firmware version.
From the pic above looks like you have unzipped the full.zip. For Odin You need the full zip in the pda section, modem zip in the modem and the pit file in the pit section. Download full zips from roto's link above.
Then check out roto backup thread (shows how to restore using heimdall / odin). As i havent flashed back to my original firmware yet, someone else could advise better. I am assuming for stock purposes you need to put the original stock firmware zip into pda section of odin and leave everything blank and then flash away.
Cheers

Thank you for your response. I'll work on getting back safely to a froyo rom.
As for the picture, it is a pic of the content inside the full zip already. Should i unzip and enter modem and pit according? But what goes into the pda section?

That pic is from a firmware from samfirmware? It has the bootloaders in it so be very careful as flashing bootloaders can cause bricks or be protected ones. As i said before, i think you flash the full zip in the pda section and leave the rest blank i.e no need to unzip.
But do so only after flashing using roto safe froyo rom.
As for the files above, It might be wise to take out the bootloaders then rezip & flash but i would wait on someone with a bit more knowledge just to confirm this.
As long as they are the original files for your firmware, you should be ok.
Thanks for your help ezynow.
UPDATE: I've successfully downgraded from Overcome Gingerbread to Overcome Froyo now.
Now it's just a matter of getting my head wrapped around this stock ROM right. The order, and where the files should go.
Anyone else would like to share their insight? This is the file I downloaded, and this is how it is presented to me. I just need someone to help me sort out what is what.
Thanks.
UPDATE #2: Tried re-zipping and converting to tar file. ODIN failed. Re-zipped into tar again without the data.tar.gz file because I don't know what it is, and failed again.
I don't know what to do anymore. How do I get this to work?
bump
anyone?
UPDATE #3: Tried loading the whole .zip file from CWM. No luck.
Who's your service provider?
I sugest look for another stock rom here that is in the correct format i am sure i seen a post showing all stock roms somewhere use odin
Link deleted. It mentions to use pit file + full zip in pda section . Then says out of date.
Also did you check rotobbackup method thread - use heimdall and flash individual files from your extraced zip files. Assuming you can avoid flashing bootloaders you should only be a soft-brick if anything goes wrong and download mode still available.
Forget about using cwm for anything stock related.
Sum1 who has reverted back to stock surely can help out here!
p.s what was your original firmware version?
I have succesfuly downgraded from gb overcome gold to arabic froyo using the file from samfirmware. First try resulted in stuck at samsung logo but I was expecting that due to the ext4 partition. A cache wipe and factory reset in recovery solved that problem. Also I observed when going to recovery that there were errors in red that are coming out complaining of access problem to certain files. Since I am able to boot I then proceded to format the internal sd. After that I again flashed using the same arabic fw. No problems so far even kies sees my fw as the latest.
Here is the procedure I followed-change the files according to your fw version

Thanks a lot for the help guys.
I will try going to another stock firmware later this afternoon.
However, the firmware I really need is P1000MUGJJ7 (Bell's stock firmware).
The files I have in hand are apparently the files for this firmware, but how to restore it, I have zero clue. These we're sent to me by a member on this forum.
I think the member said that these were created from roto backup.
I have looked everywhere else for this firmware version but it's NOWHERE. Neither does samfirmware.com
So to sum it up, pretty much these are my only sources to play with, and just gotta make it work...
Please help and thanks again.

OK. So you are suggesting I take out pit file then CONVERT in someway the whole .zip file into .tar file for the PDA section, am I correct?
Now, I need a proper way to convert this file because I tried this using a converter I downloaded online. And after the conversion, the .tar files was double the size (over 400mb, original ~200mb). And flashing through ODIN using this new file didn't work. So what's the proper way to convert?
I can't believe I overlooked such a vital detail when flashing with Odin...
I flashed UVKB5_Deodexed_Stock_Voodoo_odin.tar.md5.tar (which is for T959) with pit512 with re-partition checked on a vibrant i9000m which was originally on I9000UGKG3.
Once the flash completed, the phone was looping. Couldn't get to recovery mode, but was able to get into download mode.
So I flashed I9000UGKG3 stock with pit512 and re-partition checked, but now I'm getting boot loop up to the splash screen but it just repeats itself. It did enter recover right after the flash but I am not able to return to it anymore even with button combos.
What should I do at this point?
EDIT: Right after flash, in the recovery screen, it said the following "E:failed to mount /dbdata (File exists)" and plenty other red text...
Just flash the stock firmware for your phone via Odin.. Put the single file u get in pda... U can download it from Samfirmware.com for your respective country...
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS
am i suppose to re-partition and do I use a pit file? If so, which one?
thanks

Was in the process of IMEI repair. (Just for reference.)
My phone use to be rooted and on a custom rom. It was previously reverted back to stock DOK2 5.1.1. My phone cannot be flashed anymore for some reason. I cant even flash the DOK2 file that goes in AP. I tried flashing the trlte pit file and now my phone doesn't boot past the T-Mobile logo. I think im missing some files to do a full ODIN flash.
U need to flash trltetmo pit file. Trlte is for N910F I believe and I think it's 16gb internal sd. U need to flash 100% stock dok2 with the pit file and make sure repartition is checked. If it fails....try renaming the .tar.md5 to just .tar (remove md5) for some reason I can't flash stock any other way

I don't have a specific answer to your problem, but make sure you try and wipe the cache as well. I remember having a situation where I was trying to flash my device back to stock and it was bootlooping. The problem ended up being that I hadn't properly wiped everything from the custom ROM I had been on.
