Firmware downloads - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have downloaded various firmwares from this site but all say file corrupted,somewhere along the line, when I try to extract them. I would like to try these roms but this has happened every time! Is anyone else having this problem?
The firmwares I downloaded are
jetpack v2.1 wipe
Blockbuster rom
Surface
Please someone help me!

u shouldnt extract them u should flash in cwm(clockwork mod).. if u dont have cwm, flash cf root kernel via odin(load file in phone and make sure repartition is unchecked).. then u will have cwm menu after that install the above rom by it..

Exactly....they are not to be extracted, just flashed.
However before you flash ANYTHING it sounds like you need to do some more research and learn what you are doing. Read the excellent guides and FAQs here and educate yourself before you start messing with things. It may be the difference between having a successful flash and ending up with a touchscreen brick.

They shouldn't show as corrupted even though they aren't meant to be extracted, I'd be careful flashing these ROMs, most devs should provide an md5 hash which you can check your download against to make sure it's not corrupted.

[Q] accidently bricked SGS using Odin

Hey Guys,
I hope this is not a complete repost
I have a samsung Galaxy s i9000 and i installed a custom gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM yesterday, all worked fine, but was unable to receive phone calls so i tried reflashing my phone to see maybe it was installed incorrectly.
Im not able to get into recovery mode but i am able to get into download mode.
So i installed Odin, and a .pit file that someone recommended. earlier i downloaded a .tar file that was compatible with my phone.
Everything went fine and it said it was successful, but im now stuck on a black screen with nothing but download mode.
My question to you is:
What files do i need to download inorder to get it to boot, and then allow me to flash to a gingerbread version on android.
I have a 512.pit file, i just need all the other odds and ends like a PDA, phone, CSC files.
Please please help me.
Thanks you for your time.
The same thing happened to me I just flashed a stock rom using odin and haven't tried flashing anything else yet

[Q] no Data/3G/Mobile on my P1000 (Sapir 4.1.2)

Hi guys first and foremost, thank you for reading. I must say this is as a very informative forum with lots of good people in it. This is my first post, and i am an absolute noob so please bear with me. I am posting because i have tried my best to search for answers pertaining to my problem but to no avail, so i hope someone can really help me out here!
so i have a P1000 and bricked it before but anyway am now running
Sapir-10-20121118-nightly-p1-erezak
problem is, the baseband is unknown. which means my sim card does not work. WiFi works fine but i put in my sim card and it doesnt detect a network at all. I have also noticed that Whatsapp is not supported and with the rom, my phone gets warm at the back and power depletes rather fast.
i have doubled checked with a friend who has an unrooted P1000 with the original rom and he told me his baseband was "P1000-DXJPE"
i have gone here
http//wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Support_Downloads
and downloaded the DXJPE modem.bin file and tried to put it in the /radio folder but nothing has changed.
So can anyone help me on this? as in, tell me, in detail how i can make my phone work properly again with data/3g/mobile. Or i will just have to use it as a Wifi tablet.
I read this in the Sapir development thread, and i quote
"Originally Posted by _Derk_
No, just the other way round.
I recommend to have the correct modem.bin (for me JPZ) stored in SD card.
So in one of the cases where you have baseband unknown like now you copy it to /radio folder, even if there is already a modem.bin (which you delete prior). Then just assign the correct authorisations (RWXRWXRWX / 777) and it should work.
Bye,
Derk"
So if this is my answer, can anyone tell me how i can go about doing this? I have no idea what it means!
Another question; is this rom power conservative? My stock GB (or is that Froyo, i cant remember) rom seems to last quite awhile as compared to the Sapir rom. Even if i don't use it, it drains power really really quick in like, a day? Is this normal?
Big drain is normal when you have bad baseband.
The thing you quote, is exactly the same as your own method.
The difference is Derk suggest jpz modem.
So download jpz modem and unzip and place it in /radio
For permission, use root explorer or ES file explorer.
Click long on the file and access its properties, and tick all.

Hi Priyana thanks for the quick response i have already gotten the JPZ modem.bin and put it in /radio. I am actually using Solid Explorer instead of ES Explorer. Root Explorer does not work for some reason. I have also changed the permissions in properties as to what Dirk has mentioned,
RWXRWXRWX / 777
sadly, nothing has changed. What do u suggest i do next?
There was a build in the past that put it in /system/vendor/
Try that?

Done that. Doesn't work
Has this got anything to do with the Owner & Group for modem.bin? Both are now set as "0:root". Both can be changed to "1000:system", "1001: radio" and "1002:bluetooth".
So by right if i go to "settings/about tablet" i should see the baseband version if everything is ok right?
Yes, should be showing under baseband. Don't know what is wrong, maybe you want to flash different nightly.
I know it is a silly question, but you did reboot, right?

Yes i did reboot. I am actually trying to follow your guide to re-stocking. Unfortunately, Odin does not recognise my P1000 in download mode.
This is quite the disaster isn't it? I am ****ed aren't i. :crying:
Noob suggestion,
Wipe everything, factory reset, partition cache, dalvik cache, battery stat. Fix permission.
And reflash the ROM again, after that, reflash the gapps, and reflash the modem. Maybe it'll work.

Flashing modem is really totally unnecessary and leading to confusion if people grab the wrong flash able format.
In stock ROM when we have bml partition, the only way to change modem is via Odin or cwm.
In mtd based ROM, they sit right there in /radio/modem.bin
Odin cant detect the tab is indeed quite weird, but could be driver issue.
For now, try flash cm10 instead?

i just did. same thing. No baseband. what could i have done before to possibly let this happen? perhaps when i rooted it?
No, what you rooted as long been overwritten when you flash the rom using cwm.
I suspect you just need a different ROM.
Try aokp jb instead

Hey yo know what, i used your restock guide. now my phone works ok. I managed to get Odin to recognize my phone... i went to Safe mode with networking, installed the drivers that came with the GB Safe package. Rebooted to normal and opened Odin... voila! I couldn't be happier :laugh:

I have the problem, before miui 4.0.4 works, after Sapir 4.1.2 the 3g is lost,
Thanks,
Obviously he restock.
You need to check if you have IMEI as 004xxxxxxx (bad IMEI) or the normal 35xxxxxxx.
if bad imei, it is corrupted efs
And in sapir thread we talked about it, use search.

You sure? On Sapir?
It is an MTD rom, odin flashing modem is never heard of!
But then again, it works....

A custom ROM! A custom ROM! My phone for a custom ROM!.!

Okay, I have no idea why, but my phone doesn't seem to like any ROM except for the stock. Every ROM, every update I've tried, has just gone and bricked my phone. I'm a newbie as far as development goes, but I do know my way around flashing, applying updates from SD and stuff. And I'm careful not to mess with files designed for the other ace. I also follow instructions to the letter. I'm as scared of bricks as anyone else.
So I was wondering whether any of you could help me out here. Do tell me if it's better to stick with the stock ROM though. Awaiting a reply.
Cheers
EDIT:
Okay, I downloaded this iDroid ROM from here
My phone's kernel version says 2.6.35.7([email protected] #201209221033), but there's absolutely no change. Any ideas on what to do now? Still waiting for a reply. :-\
Still struggling to find a proper non-stock ROM that works on my phone X-(

Well firstly ask why yourself why you want to flash a particular custom ROM? Does it have features you need etc? If not then stock is fine and there are many ways alter the appearance of your phone without flashing a new custom ROM via apps in the play store.
As always prior to flashing a custom ROM make sure you have all the tools and knowledge to flash back to stock if anything goes wrong. OK so by the sounds of it you have installed RB,s kernel but have not installed IDroid ROM, tell us how you tried to flash and that will give us more of an idea where you are going wrong.

Why the custom ROM: I was told by a friend (who uses a Galaxy Y) to use one, so as to make the phone less laggy. And I like to have my devices looking a little different from what everyone uses. Pardon me
EDIT: And yes, I do have the firmware required to flash back, as well as Odin. I've flashed before, so you could say I'm not a total waste there And I seem to have trouble understanding the difference between ROM and kernel.... could you please explain it to me? At least I'll know where I'm going wrong.

The standard procedure I follow:
1. Download the flashable zip to my phone SD card.
2. Reboot into stock recovery, enter clockworkmod through its zip file
3. Backup just in case, install the zip through cwm or stock recovery, whichever the dev advises
4. Reboot
Update: managed to get RazoDroid working. Firmware XXLD2, Rafael Baugis kernel (obviously, duh ) and no problems so far!
Just because you're probably not following the instructions correctly doesn't mean it's the developer's fault, and that you should be 'disappointed'.
True. I do my best to follow instructions, but I may have overlooked something somewhere. And no, I'm not blaming any devs, not intentionally anyway, because I don't have any rights to.... At the end of the day, I did manage to make something work, and now I'm happy with it, so all I can say is peace out
Running RazoDroid ROM on Rafael Baugis kernel, somehow managed through without bricking phone for the nth time

which custom PIt?

May i know which custom pit can able and stable to flash JB TW 4.1.2 for brick note?

for that first you will need to run some scanner to find the start and end of bricked block.. head over to hg42s thread for instructions

It will never fully recovery but if you flash a gb rom then the phone might startup.
After using the repartition method, the phone might not be able to handle JB.

[Q] Please help me!!!

Hello, i want to go back to stock rom on my galaxy s5. I am not bricked or anything like that. Every tutorial i look at, it involves using odin, and i cannot do that. I am on the Extreme Debloat ATT V1 running 4.4.2 kitkat. I don't have a md5 file to flash yet because i do not want to download a wrong file and screw up my phone. I don't have a computer at the time, so is there any way i can just download the file straight from my phone and copy it to root and go to recovery and wipe the device and then flash? thank you!
Please someone
