Hi everyone!
I've been flashing the non-rooted official XXKP4 firmware with ODIN.
This is a firmware with 4 files (+ one more file, the ops one)
The strange thing is that while flashing, ODIN downloads only 11/15 files onto the device and then restarts the phone.
Is this normal? Because on my Galaxy Mini it goes up to 10/10 or 9/9.
Is this 11/15 normal?
Did your phone reboot successfully? If yes, everything is OK. You can also look in your Settings, if you have kp4 there...
Tapatalked from my Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Yes the phone did boot successfully and the *#1234* show the correct versions of PDA, PHONE and CSC.
Well i guess it doesn't matter but i was just curious about the rest of the files not donwloaded.

Hi,
was very interested in rooting my phone (Samsung Galaxy S) and putting a custom rom on it. I managed to put on Darky's latest rom last night. However it was giving me problems with the Android market (it crashed when it came to the installation part). Therefore, I want to get rid of all the modifications I made to my phone and go back to the settings how the phone was shipped to me.
How can I do that?
I already downloaded the original firmware (2.2.1) using this forum. It is a .tar file and I tried to flash it with Odin. Seemed to work at the beginning but there were still some elements, like apps, of the old Rom left. So I did the process again.
Now my phone starts up but after the boot screen I only have a black screen with the typical crash vibration patterns all the time. After flashing it again I get into the recovery mode showing errors.
Can somebody please tell me how to go back to my original firmware, without a custom rom, root access etc.?
I'm afraid that I will brick my phone now.
thank you
(I searched this forum but couldnt find anything related to my question)
get yourself a firmware that comes in 3 files.... or a firmware than you can re-partition with 1 file.....
go into odin, check repartition and select pit (downloaded with firmware)
flash your phone and that should do the job
Tried everything I could with Odin and phone still stuck in a start loop.
I was downgrading from checkROM to official firmware ZSLA2 with CWM (I wanted to keep ROOT, so I selected "Keep CF-Root kernel") due to stability issues, after restarting the phone got into the start loop.
I flashed with Odin official ZSLA2 with the same result (looped start). I flashed XXKKA (again looped start). During the flashing process, Odin says the flashing was successful. By the way, both ROMS are tar.md5 files.
I tried to remove the battery for over 30 minutes and charge it for 2 hours, tried re-partition in Odin (it's my understanding that with a stock rom, it creates a clean installation), but Odin fails to start the process.
What else can I do?
I am sorry if this has previously asked, but I've been searching for over 2 hours and nothing similar came. Somebody mentioned to use a PIT file in addition, but the other person who got his phone soft bricked didn't solve the problem either. As downloading a ROM is time consuming and I've got many problems with upload sites in china (cannot access to most of them), I would thank any help in regards this issue.
Sounds like your kernel isn't talking properly to your ROM.
A fresh start is your best bet. Flash a stock rom and kernel from Odin and reroot it with CF-Root.
What files are you putting into Odin? There should be a total of 4.
I'd also avoid the use of a .pit file. I haven't even seen the mention of one in all my time on the Note forum. I really don't think Samsung uses them the way they used to. (I used to have to flash one all the time when testing roms on the original galaxy tab.)
I am using official ROM N7000ZSLA2_N7000ZSLA2_N7000XLA4_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA and also tried ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XEUKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5, which I used successfully in the past to make root into my phone.
Does it really make a difference to flash 4 separate files instead of a full pack? Where can I find an official ROM with pda radio and kernel separated? Just untar the ROM?

Oh, they do come into the Note; I flashed the Beta ICS, and one of the things they mention is to use the PIT file for the 16GB version, instead of the 32GB that comes with the leaked ROM. Unfortunately I deleted that ROM, and donwloading it is painfully slow and also wouldn't necessarily solve my problem as I couldn't even make a phone call.
True - the .pit file can change the size of the partition data... But that's not your problem. If the .pit file was the problem - you'd boot, but have 0 storage space (or something else wonky pertaining to your disk size.)
Open the tar up and make sure it has all the files in it. Should be 5.
I've attached a screenshot of the 5 file names. Make sure they are all in the .tar you are flashing.
Even i had similar problem after flashing Stock ROM using Odin (PC). Only thing i did is just rebooted in recovery and Wipe/factory Reset and Wipe cache. everything went fine.

I can only enter into Download mode, not recovery mode.
Odin is full wipe, right? What the hell am I doing wrong?

Well, I finally managed to get my phone back. I was getting a lot of corrupted ROMS. I couldn't download your ROM as well; I managed to install the Beta ICS 4.0.3 which comes with a PIT for repartition, as I think the problem was that my booting partition was screwed.
Problem now is: that rom screws the phone and the keyboard, but at least I have my phone back.
Thank you

I have just recently dowloaded and installed the rom without problem. What do you mean by corrupted rom?

I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.
I read somewhere about the PIT files.
I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.
Fix The problem
I had the same problem, the device got into start loop. JUST DO A FULL WIPE..! and the device should start normally. I worked for me.... :good:

Hi guys,
I am flashing my gf's phone and tried to root the phone first. Flashed a 'PDA' file in ODIN as the guide said.
Now my Galaxy S has the BSOD (Black Screen Of Death) logo. I can still go into the Download-mode, so i guess there is no need for panic.
I read a lot of guide's and faq's here at XDA, and I think I am supposed to flash new firmware via ODIN (with a PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC file).
My problem is that all the links to this firmware are down or dead, Argh!
Can you provide me a working link with the right and some advice?
BTW, I flashed my HD2, and HTC Sensation many times before, but I am new to flashing Samsungs.
When you flashed the PIT file I assume that you selected repartition?
The PIT file contains the "Drive" layout when you select repartition it will completely wipe the phone as you have found out.
If the phone is able to boot into download mode you will be able to flash another ROM.
I would suggest Darky's 10.2 as this is a odin flashable ROM and it is based on the Samsung stock ROM's.
If you use Darky's you do not have to root the phone before flashing as Darky's complete ROM includes root standard.
Most of the new custom ROM's do not require root before hand as root is included unless the thread states other wise
Hi
A friend has flashed the following CF-Root "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar" by mistake.
Then... stuck on Samsung's logo and "Galaxy SII" appears. He tried to flash via Odin the firmware I8190XXALK6 - Novembrer, 2012 but the problem still remains.
The Download mode is available but not the Recovery mode.
What can he do to solve this issue?
Thanks for your precious help! Don't hesitate to ask me for further information.
Galaxy SIII Mini
Android 4.1.1
GT-I8190
Flash the attached file in pda.
Thanks for your help.
I'm goign to transfer that file to my friend.
I'll keep u informed.
The phone boots without any issues except that the SGS II logo is still here.
A new flash through Odin could solve it?
Thanks again.
try to flash full firmware.
Have you Full Firmware (pda, csc,modem)?
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/181522827/74b9c77/I8190XXALK6_I8190XEFALK1_XEF.zip.html

where add this file?
I have a bad flash and i now it is my internal sd not as should be.
I wanted all files for my phone for Odin (Pit file, Modem, CSC)

I've just transfered your link to my friend.
Hello!!! I have Samsung Tab S2 SM-t813, I was running un-official LOS 17.1 but the battery life was bad and bluetooth headphones not working so I decided to go back to Stock.
Used Odin3 3.14 to flash latest FW from Sammobile, AU variant T813XXS2BTK3_T813XSA2BTK1_XSA
I loaded it up with AP option only (it's just one file, not BL, AP, CP and CSC).
Odin seems to flash it just fine and then I get a bluescreen, says it's installing an update, then says it's erasing, then it just sits on the Samsung Logo slowly fading in and out from dull to bright.
I know this is meant to take a long time the first boot but I've been waiting for an hour now.
Any suggestions?
@jonathonsunshine one chance I see is flashing multiple! file stock ROM.
You can get it using samfirm_reborn on a windows PC.
Insert your device type and region plus checking "binary nature" and "decrypt".
That will download a zip file you have to unpack and get the AP, BL aso.
Battery should be fully loaded before flashing.
Good luck.
That's what it looks like for my T820.
In the end, I never got the stock rom going, I flashed twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gts210vewifi.img.tar with Odin 3.14, then followed this guide and installed the Lite Version of Stock Rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-7-0-nougat-stock-lite-v8-t713-t813.3746583/

So even multiple part stock ROM didn't work?
That's weird.
Trying this for a Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T713) to no avail. I am able to grab the firmware but, unless I am doing something wrong, Odin doesn't do anything after loading the 3 extracted files and clicking start. Oh well.
EDIT:
I may be using an incorrect cable. Will try again later.
EDIT 2:
Back to stock!
