If you absolutely positively have the right firmware - the CODE is the, um.... actusally I don't know... anyone else?

I know that's definitely wrong!
Phone = Modem - I know that!
And where's your PDA?
There's plenty of guides on this forum for flashing with Odin - just have a look in the main Dev threads - there's an Uber thread in there that explains literally everything...

LOL, dont wasnt any help

Hi,
the CODE file should be put to PDA,
MODEM is Phone, pit file is obvious..
Also you should flash a CSC File (which you put to CSC ) depending on your country or any Multi-CSC! Just use the search.

i downloaded I9000UGJH2 FROM
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
AND THEN ALSO
Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (512) FROM THE SAME SITE

Please help me with Android system recovery <e3> problem, thx.

fail to verify whole-file signature
The sentence above is what i saw in the recovery mode.
Below is my device info:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000DXJV9
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000DXJV9-CL216763 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXJV9
I do some research on the internet but seems like most of the device that having same problem are different model, they have the solution too, but i'm not risking before asking you guys as the professional.
Any idea how i can fix this? Because i love cyanogen rom, need to flash this ROM.
If there was already a solution, dont get ad at me, i had done the search on the forum
thanks for helping

Keep in mind, said ROM is not rootable directly. So if you want to root it. First root your currant ROM, get mobile odin n flash with it.
otherwise
- Open Odin
- Dont select re partition
- select *Code file in PDA
- Modem in Modem
- Multi CSC in CSC
flash..

[Q] Few questions about Firmwares and such

Hi guys! Happy New Year!
Here it is the short intro: the phone is bought in Bulgaria. On the box is written on En and Polish. Seems that this phone was dedicated for the Poland market, but ... The firmware reported - PDA: I9070XXLK2 Phone: I9070XXLK2 CSC:I9070OXXLI1.
After reading so much treads here seems that for XXLK2 there isn't rooted FW
I have downloaded FW for REGION: OXA (Open Europe) | PDA: I9070XXLD1 | CSC: I9070OXALD1 - the original one and ROOTED one.
Also I have found that there is a version dedicated for Bulgaria - GT-I9070 - Bulgaria PDA: I9070XXLD1 CSC: I9070OXXLD1 Version: 2.3.6 Date: 2012-04-17. It is with some differences because the volume of the file is different than the Poland and Open EU ones.
Here are my questions:
1.What could be the difference between the actual Poland FW, the Open Europe FW and the Bulgarian?
2.What I will lose/gain if I flash from Pol to Open EU? After some reading here seems that it is possible to be done with Odin.
3.Do I am going to gain something if I flash from Pol to Bulg? The BG FW is with approx 10 MB more as compressed FW file.
4.Why is bad to increase this binary counter?
5.Can I reset this counter?
6.If I flash with Odin from Pol to Open EU (the orifginal not rooted FW) is it going to increase this binary counter? Probably it is the same answer, but is it going to increase the counter if I downgrade the FW from Poland XXLK2 to Open EU PDA: I9070XXLD1 CSC: I9070OXALD1?
7.If I flash from Pol to JetMOD™3.2HDSwipetoRemove*15TogglesTurbo*JBLayout*Lots is it going to increase the counter?
Generally I am looking to:
1.Root my phone.
2.To change/test some optimized FWs in case to get the max from this phone,
Please, help me to get the answers even if you don't give me direct ones but give me links to find them.

About other questions, I will answer on the one I know.
1. /
2. /
3. /
4. It is bad because you lose your warranty, if you do not want it - there is no other "minus" for gaining binary counter increase.
5. Not yet.
6. No.
7. To install JetMOD you need Custom recovery (TWRP), that you gain with rooted kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873119
And you do not increase binary counter by intalling anything via TWRP.
This method does not increase your binary counter, but your phone needs to be rooted so you can perform this!
IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH DD I RECOMMEND YOU TO AVOID THIS METHOD
1. Extract the attached file twice. You will end up with a kernel.bin.md5 file
2. Put the kernel.bin.md5 file to /sdcard
3. Start adb shell
4. Do the following commands:
Code:
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
# reboot
5. Wait for the device to reboot.

This could be done in phones terminal emulator (you have that on Play store).

OK, Thanks for your support.
Thanks for the link to the rooting guide. I have red it whole yesterday. I learned from it how to gain the root, but seems that no rooted rom for XXLK2. Also seems that no rooted firmware for Poland. Then I am thinking over to do the following:
1.Will downgrade from XXLK2 (Poland) to XXLD1 (Openn Eu).
2.Will follow the instruction from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985199 to install the rooted kernel for this FW. I am just wondering if I flash the already Open EU FW with the whole rooted FW for Open EU is it going to increase the counter? I mean not just flashing the rooted parts SYSTEM and CSC, but the whole rooted ROM.
3.To install then TWRP from this guide http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s-advance-i9070-twrp-recovery-122084/
Then I will try the taste of the rooted phone without increasing the counter.
Seems that if I use the method here to root the phone I would not change the counter http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985199&page=43
Then using the termninal I could install TWRP also without increasing the counter. Am I right?
And after this operations I could try some other ROMS without changing the "damned" counter.

Yes, this is the way that avoid binary counter increase. And that outside link is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873119 For adding TWRP.

So far ... all should be OK. I have installed Android SDK with all tools and so. I have tested the connection and some simple commands. It is working. Just one thing (obstacle) I have met - after some time (30 sec or 1 min) the phone goes OFF and the connection too. But I can't find where to sett that on usb/charge mode the phone to stay awake.
And now one last ... for now ... question: hot to see/monitor this counter? How to check the value of this binary counter?
P.S. Some hours later I have decided to start the FW adventure, but at the first step I have reach a problem. The FW I have downloaded from SamMobile for Open Europe is archive called "I9070XXLD1_I9070OXALD1.rar". I have unrar it. It is a folder named "I9070XXLD1". In it for my surprise there is one file "I9070XXLD1.tar" approx 754MB. It seems that the file format is not the normal one contained in the rest of the FW rar packages. I tried to open the archive with two apps - WinRAR and 7zip. Both said that "There is no correct record at the end of the archive". I am going to download it again and it is the same situation I will ask you to share Open EU original FW which is working
P.S. Seems that this tar file is also a native file format for Odin. I have flashed the phone to Open EU stock (acc to this guide) without problem. After that flashed with Open EU rooted (acc. to the guide here). Checked the root access. The result was "SU Granted". Now I have the rooted phone without changed binary counter. Wonderful.

LOST :eek: ... i9305 csc and ROMs etc

Hi there I have been battling with a i9305 for a few days now . I stupidly thought I have worked on a i9300 it will be easy to do the same stuff to the i9305 but no .
So basically I am at this point: just flashed 4.1.1 from here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/175851999/3bf33ec/I9305XXALI5_I9305EVRALI5_EVR.zip.html (the phone was on EE when I bought it in the UK)
Now i flashed back to 4.1.1 so I could unlock it with the service menu trick so I can put other sim cards in to use. I am wondering why do I need to flash an unbranded rom from europe. What problems will I get if I stick with this now? I also cannot get into my CSC - I think its a single not multi csc or something. So I am unsure how or if I need to try to check that as well?
So yer not sure what I need - I want to be able to stick any sim in and update the software from samsung when it comes out thats it! Whats my best option? Thanks
ps forgot to say also counter is on 1 now and kies is saying i can update firmware from LI5 to MF1 (on all three phone pda and csc) - maybe I can do this?

You should have used this then you would be rooted as well :

Not sure how that would help me...I can just root this rom anyway surely? I am just confused to why people want unbranded roms as I see absolutely no difference so far from the one I had on before (german unbranded rom) to this one (the ee one). I would of put a unbranded uk rom on but there are none. So I am thinking I root this now triangle away then re root it and it will use any sim and upgrade no?

Or if I just use kies to upgrade I am ok no?
Yer its letting me update OTA as well even with counter at 1 !

So do what I suggested and pick the 4.1.1 rom.
Why use this Root Method? Well the main reasons are:
- You have a complete Odin Flashable ROM Package.
- No Insecure Kernels are used or required.
- You can flash these packages on Non-Rooted devices
- The Binary Flash Counter will NOT increase when flashing these ROM Packages.
- The Red Exclamation Mark will NOT appear at boot up.
- And finally, you only have to flash one file in Odin and you have a complete firmware including Root Permissions.
What Root Package is used in these ROMs?
- Busybox 1.20.2 (Newer ROMs)
- SuperSU 1.51 (Newer ROMs)
Product Code: GT-I9305TADEVR (4.1.1) (EE UK)
PDA: XXALK3
PHONE: XXALK2
CSC: EVRALI5
Then do the trick to unlock the sim

Ah yer quite useful. Well its updaing OTA now seems to be working so I guess ill have to take that route for now. So u can flash the rom straight on - nice.
Just confused to why its allowing me to update and the sim worked from another phone in it - so if its not broke why fix it I guess?
ps sim is already unlocked its the csc I cant get into
Guess it might not be samsung repair worthy though.... :S

So I am on the updatged 4.1.2 now so I can basically use one of these roms flash it on with odin straight away and if I need to send back to samsung I just do factory reset?
