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:

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:
Name: Rogers
Address: internet.com
user: wapuser1
password: wap
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.
Cheers.
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!
Once after restarting my galaxy s i9000 i could not get phone signal. I reinstalled eclair with odin and it worked properly. then using clockwork recovery and returning back to doc 5.1 the phone signal is still not there. tried dark's 7.0 too. with the same result no phone signal. any help is appreciated
Since you recovered all settings went back.i had this once.maybe try to flash a modem file with odin,no repartition and no pit clicked.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I did not revert back to my old settings. I checked re partition and installed eclair. Then i flashed doc 5.1 without restoring my settings. Plus i tried to manually push modem.bin file using odin. No result
Can you check if you Flight mode is working or gets stuck?If it gets stuck then there is something wrong with modem version.When it happened to me i had to flash a 2.2 modem to get it to work.
Yes my flight mode did get stuck. But i tried installing new XXJPY firmware's modem through clockwork recovery and still same result. Which one did you flash? Plus my baseband version is unknown in the settings app.
I was on stock JPU at that time,i had flashed it through Odin and by mistake i had not clicked Modem and flashed without it while i was at work.Then i got home and didnt have JPU there but had JPA so i though,wtf,it was on factory reset anyway(after i had a major brick) and flashed the JPA modem on its own,no pit,not repartition,did a factory reset again,clear cache and it worked.Hope it fixes yours too.
Tried that too. Still the same. No difference. I am getting the range in eclair but not in custom firmwares. Plus the baseband is unknown
I wanna know if you can help me, ...
I was on sprint gtab stock rom DJ30 which updated to EA24 and EB28. Data service worked very well. Then I flashed voodoo CWM in order to install Honeycomb rom. Then install the rom via CWM. The installation was indeed finished, but it stucked in samsung logo boot. I turned off device and boot in cwm mode. Sure, it was HC rom's CWM. But it couldnt mount system, Seems the convertion to ext4 didnt work. Worse thing it couldnt mount sdcard either. So I couldnt reinstall the rom. I also couldnt reboot, so i had to long press the power button.
Stop trying installing HC rom on my device, i decided to revert back to stock rom (DJ30>EA24). But it was weird, i cant revert to stock rom with modem.bin inside the package. It always stuck in modem.bin when flashed with odin. But, when i use the package with no modem, it can flashed succesfully. I had flashed that stock rom (with modem.bin) million times without fail, but now always fail.
Yeah, my gtab is running but without modem.bin so no signal and i cant use data services. Like wifi only tab.
Many ways i've tried:
- I've tried flashed DJ30 with no modem first. Okay, it is successful. But when flash with EA24 (with modem) it stuck on modem.bin.
- I've tried flashed DJ30 with modem.bin. And it also stucked on modem.bin. Trying flashed EA24 without modem.bin, it is succesful.
- Try using heimdall. Progress 100% but it wont reboot. But when i retry n uncheck modem. Flashing work flawlesly.
- Try using odin modem only flash. Progress bar is full but it wont reboot.
- Try flashing via CWM, but still no luck.
Weird, huh. Seems my gtab cannot use modem.bin anymore.
Any clue? Thanks before ...
I'd appreciate if you can help me flashing modem.bin to my device. Or it end up with wifi only tab.
EDIT: even OTA update, stuck on "verifying modem ... updating modem ..."
I would like to bump this as I am having the same issues also. I am flashing my Sprint Galaxy Tab to EA24, and it is held up at modem.bin.
I posted a question on this, and am hoping that someone helps us.
Thanks in advance,
Claud
try re-partition and flash pit by using odin,i suffered the same issue with my vzw tab
depending on which file you're using to restore. You need to use the .tar.md5 file from the EA24 flasher and rename it to just .tar, then flash with Odin. I've flashed this several times and it gets past modem.bin just fine. If you are using the 2 files 1 with modem (Epic 4g modem) and 1 without modem you're not using the right files. I ran into the same issue with the with/without modem files. Here's a link to the EA24 flasher and the .tar.md5 file you need to go back to stock.

Bumping this to avoid making a new thread.
I've done many reverts back to stock from different ROMs, but this past time coming from BTL or HC (Sprint Tab btw) I'm also getting hung up on modem.bin. Never had a problem here before, so not sure what's going on.
I didn't use a pit and only had reboot checked and it worked fine.
I've never included pit. I've just always put SPH-P100.EA24.SECURE.REV07-FULL_CL871413.tar in the PDA slot and let it go through. And tried checking re-partition, but it does not go through that way.

Pretty sure if you try to re-partition, you have to have the correct pit file for it to know the right places to recreate the partition table. If you're just flashing back to stock, there's no need for the pit file.

That's what I thought and never had a need for it. Guess I do now. Think it would even work?

I've never had to repartition a device, but i've read about it working for people to bring them back from boot looping etc. If somehow the partition table gets corrupted etc. If you're already soft bricked, there's no harm in trying.
Having the same issue, trying to go from Rooted GB to BTL then back to GB or EA24
Hi,
I am having the same issues, does anyone have the .PIT file available by any chance, all of the packcages that I have downloaded for the sprint tab seem to not have any pit included...

You need to look at one of the stock VZW threads and find the files you need there, as the sprint modem will make things worse for you. Not sure if the pit files are the same or not between the sprint and VZW tabs..

I have the correct files for the tab for Verizon. I have the original files Following: Sbl.bin boot.bin cache.rfs dbdata.rfs efs.rfs factoryfs.rfs ldb.db modem.bin param.lfs param.rfs pit.pit zImage
But my problem is how to record using that pit. What other files should I use a recording that will restore the partition table?
I fear that a problem occurs with even higher tab.
I am having this issue as well, and I'm also coming from HC and on Sprint. I have no trouble flashing any kernel/rom of my choosing EXCEPT for the modem.
At this point, I'm just trying to reflash it back to stock. I've got the Sprint EA24 files, including the pit (tried with and without) but it refuses to flash the modem. If I omit the modem, it flashes perfectly fine and I'm left with a bone stock tab with no modem.
Is there anyone here who went to HC and then managed to go back? As stated by others, I've gone back to stock before without issue. The HC build seems to be what caused this problem
I ran spacemoose's HC port for a day or 2 and then went back to stock until the official GB came out. I've had no issues flashing the whole EA24, or any other updates.. with and without the modem..
Hmmmm. Maybe different hardware revisions? You have any suggestions? I'm completely out of ideas and it's of little use to me without 3G.
I just did a flash back to complete stock (including modem) 2 days ago, and it didn't hesitate once while flashing everything with Heimdall. Only thing I can say is keep trying.
At this point, I've attempted to flash it no less than a dozen times and still can't get the modem to flash. I'm completely baffled as to why it won't accept it.
I rooted my phone and wanted to flash back to stock so I can update with the OTA and re-root, but I downloaded the zip for the AT&T tar files and everything seemed to pass MD5 checks and went okay, but as soon as I hit Start, the program just continues to say NAND Write Start for over 20 minutes, and won't flash, how do I go about re-trying this without bricking my device? It's still plugged in atm in download mode.
What version of Odin are you using? I had this problem because I had v3.10 and the s6 is not compatible with that version, you have to have v3.10.6.
Mine did that, I closed odin, reopened, put each .md5 file in right section (AP in AP, BL in BL, CSC in CSC, ect) and it worked
If Odin is having trouble flashing to your phone. Here is some simply tips and tricks to try.
1. Try flashing everything except for the bootloader .
2. Try running Odin as admin.
3. Try upgrading to the newest Odin available.
4. If all else fails, open Samsung Kies, and go to emergency recovery, put your model # and serial # in, and it will flash your phone to stock for you, then you can try again.
5. Also make sure all of the correct drivers are installed for your phone, sometimes Windows can be bad about that. Try getting drivers from samsung directly.
6. Try a new USB Cable, as crazy as that is, I have had some not work, and others work fine.
7. Try a different USB Port on the PC, or restart the PC.
I hope this helps.
I tried just flashing the ROM and CSC and it flashed just fine, I left out the CP file, what is that? Everything seems fine just flashing the ROM and CSC, but do I need to flash the CP file too, for anything?
CSC is the consumer software customization and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
I hope this helps
I didnt get it. Do you mean to put each .md5 file in all sections? ? Please help me

Please help me out. I am having same problem NAND WRITE stuck.
Solved
Thanks everyone for your post. But what I did is, just downloaded the Odin v3.10.6......that worked with S6. And I guess S6 is not compatible to other earlier versions of odin. So better try with Odin v3.10.6.
Nand write start fail solved
I have solved using Odin3 v3.10.7 with firmware VZW-G920VVRU4BOK7-20151211140939 and Windows 7 for Galaxy S6 SM-G920V

Yes, I gave up but a friend of mine found a thread that talks about using Kies to bring it back to factory default. You need to know the serial # and IMEI # If you can find this information, you can reset it using Kies.
Had the same problem. Used Odin 3.10.6
But before all this, I connected phone with debugging enabled in windows and authorized it, the problem never resurfaced
In the process of rooting my Galaxy S5 I ended up soft-bricking my phone so that it's now in a bootloop. At this point I just want to restore the phone to factory default but I'm having issues doing so.
The issue came when I tried to flash a ROM onto my device using Odin3 which was successful but then, on restart, I got this bootloop. I've now tried a few different ways to fix.
I've:
Cleared cache partition and user data
Tried to use Odin v3.10 to flash stock for different builds (G900VVRU1BOD5, G900VVZW1BOC4,G900VVZW1BOA8) (I believe the phone was on G900VVRU1BOD5 before the bootloop)
I was also stupid and didn't do a backup beforehand.
This thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53454972) seems to suggest that I need to flash the CP and CSC along with the AP but I haven't been able to locate these files.
Any help would be appreciated!
Errors
I guess I forgot to mention that when I attempt to flash the stock firmware I get a FAIL! (Auth) error from Odin almost immediately no matter which ROM I try.
I had this problem. After days of fighting it I went into the stock recovery and did a factory data reset and that fixed it.

are you trying to flash a ATT stock rom to your Verizon Phone??
Thanks for the replies. I have stock BL and I've tried the reset there and it hasn't helped.
I have a Verizon S5 and am using Verizon stock firmware. Looks like I accidentally posted this in the ATT S5 general section. Sorry...
