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
Hello all, I run Linux, and want flash my SGS with the standard 2.2 Bell is distributing through kies... without kies. I've got heimdall installed, and I expect it to work on my ubuntu installation, but I want to know I have the right firmware. I found a .tar archive named I9000UGJK4 somewhere, and I hope this is what I'm supposed to use. But I don't want to risk it. Can someone confirm that this is the official ROM being distributed? Is there a more official link/place to download it than rapidshare? Are there checksums for these files in the archive somewhere? I have: cache.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin Sbl.bin zImage
Also, when flashing, do I put my phone in download mode after plugging it into the computer or while it's unplugged? It shows a battery indicator once I plug it in when it's off. And sometimes my phone freezes for like 15 seconds, can I expect the internal sd card to die with this update?
Edit: I bit the bullet, and everything turned out OK. This is one success story, so far anyway.
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.
http://www.multiupload.com/LXQKGX5RHL
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.

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.
Hi I'm new to this so bare with me.
My Galaxy S has been playing up recently and when I try to switch it on it goes to the first Samsung Galaxy S gt-i9000 startup screen, the screen then goes dark then the same screen reappears. this happens until i remove the battery.
Odin and having to manually flash my phone is all new to me so I would like some advice as to what to flash my phone with to try and get it up and running again.
many thanks.
Odin

on that link, it tells me to 'Put PDA.tar it into PDA', is this a file that should of been included in the download pack along with the pit file. because i cannot locate it anywhere?
also in odin, do i need to tick the PDA box when i upload a file into it?
thanks.

that's really weird then .. try flashing stock samsung firmware ..
you can download from this link
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=1
would suggest downloading the one for your region and flashing in same way you flashed earlier.. this would give an unrooted stock rom on your SGS .. if this also isn't successful well then you should take it to service center.
I would be very grateful for some assistance with this, after trying many firmwares with Odin (most now blocked because of Knox bootloader), custom recovery etc. etc.
Basically I want to downgrade my I9305 from 4.4.4 to 4.1.1 so that I can use the 'trick' for SIM unlocking the device. This is after finding out that GalaxSim Unlock can't be used with this device, which I tried after rooting under 4.4.4.
I have a 4.1.1 firmware on the way which I can flash with Odin, but I'm conscious that each time I do this since upgrading to 4.3/4.4.4 the Knox bootloader comes up with 'Unsupported version'.
Is it possible for me to copy the boot.img file from the 4.4.4 firmware package and replace the boot.img file in the 4.1.1 package? Will that work? I don't really understand the ins and outs of this yet and it's getting very frustrating when I can't find any answers on Google to these specific questions.
If the above doesn't work, what option do I have to downgrade to stock 4.1.1?
Many thanks for your help.

Thank you so much for this; I got excited that it might finally be a solution but alas, when I try to install the ROM in CWM recovery (6.0.4.7) I get the following message:
format() expects 5 args, got 4
E:Error in /data/media/0/stock411.zip (I renamed it and copied it again to internal phone storage in case it was a bad transfer to ext SD card previously)
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
A quick search suggests a bad download perhaps? Will try again in 5m (when the re-download completes) but if that fails I'm back to square one.
Do you think it'd be possible to flash another stock firmware in this manner? If you flash from CWM does it never affect the bootloader/Knox? Or is this error message coming from a Knox-type block, do you think?
Thanks for your input.
Update
Late last night I somehow managed to flash a stock 4.1.1 ROM from a rather messed up 4.4.4 (following CWM recovery backup restore [apps were 'stopping' left right and centre making the phone unusable, even after wiping cache and delvik cache]). This enabled me to do the dialler trick and remove the SIM lock.
Today I've tried 3 different 4.1.2 ROMs and all fail with SW Rev. Invalid Magic String (or something similar) using Odin. After the first failed attempt I thought ok, I'll go back to 4.1.1; however when I tried this the phone got stuck on the first Samsung I9305 boot screen and, oddly, I couldn't get into recovery mode - the only option was download mode. I resolved this by flashing 4.3 (which fails with Device 3, Binary 2 or some such message. After that failure though, flashing 4.1.1 works and got my phone back to where it was before.
This is all rather confusing but I assume the 4.1.1 ROM doesn't come with recovery/boot images and requires these from a failed 4.3 flash, or something like that.
Anyway, I guess the upshot is: there's a specific 4.1.1 ROM out there for I9305 which works through Odin despite Knox bootloader being installed on your phone. It's on TSAR3000.com (I can't post links yet 'cause I'm new, but you can find it through Google if you look hard enough).
Any feedback on the above behaviour encountered during my first foray into the land of rooting, flashing and SIM unlocking that may help me/others understand what's actually going on behind the scenes would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Downgrade is very easy. Extract that tar and then select all files except sboot.bin because sboot is the bootloader which causes downgrade fail then compress them into tar agin using 7zip then flash. First do all this with 4.1.2 firmware then you will be able to downgrade to 4.1.1☺

Now select all files except sboot.bin and compress into tar file by using green + button or left click options and the flash with odin google it how to flash with odin there many detailed guides available.
And I don't know that sboot.bin is in 4.1.1 firmware you can check by extracting that tar of 4.1.1 as you done with 4.4 file if any sboot.bin is there remove it and compress all remaining fies into tar again and flash.

I downloaded I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_EVR.zip from Sam Mobile (thats 4.3 for the I9305)
I extracted the files removed sboot.bin and compressed the files to I9305XXUENH1_I9305EVRENH1_I9305XXUENG1_HOME.tar
I then flashed that file with odin but got the following:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> boot.img
<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have now flashed 4.4.4 and the phone is working again.
Anybody help?

I would be very grateful for some assistance with this, after trying many firmwares with Odin (most now blocked because of Knox bootloader), custom recovery etc. etc.
Basically I want to downgrade my I9305 from 4.4.4 to 4.1.1 so that I can use the 'trick' for SIM unlocking the device. This is after finding out that GalaxSim Unlock can't be used with this device, which I tried after rooting under 4.4.4.
I have a 4.1.1 firmware on the way which I can flash with Odin, but I'm conscious that each time I do this since upgrading to 4.3/4.4.4 the Knox bootloader comes up with 'Unsupported version'.
Is it possible for me to copy the boot.img file from the 4.4.4 firmware package and replace the boot.img file in the 4.1.1 package? Will that work? I don't really understand the ins and outs of this yet and it's getting very frustrating when I can't find any answers on Google to these specific questions.
If the above doesn't work, what option do I have to downgrade to stock 4.1.1?
Many thanks for your help.

found on this thread by lyriquidperfection following qasim's suggestion to remove sboot.bin on top of I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_DBT.zip which is a 4.4.4 stock rom. I have unzipped the tar file, removed sboot.bin, rezipped with 7zip as tar, then used ihsas's script to convert that to tar.md5 and flashed with odin, and stuck at the white logo screen. What is wrong here i am doing? I also need to unlock my carrier
