problem with i9001 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys i have a problem with the cymod 4.99 rom.i ca paste it normally in odin(aries ve ops and the cymod.tar file)but odin doesnt recognize the rom .what can i do?

Hm, can you explain that a little bit further ?
What file do you have downloaded ?
There are two links, one for a rar and one for a zip.
The Rar file is the right one, the zip is only a update if you want to update a 4-9 to a 4.99.
For odin you must use the cymod-04-99.rar.
You first must unrar this one, then you find a .tar, the Odin - exe and a Aries.ops.
Use the odin in the rar, choose "One-Package", select the Aries.ops @ ops and the tar at "One Package".
This should work just fine...

[Q] .tar and .tar.md5 difference

can anyone tell what is the difference between a .tar file and .tar.md5 file? cos i downloaded a pda file that is .tar.md5 from here:
http://hotfile.com/dl/104777809/7737...A.tar.rar.html
and normally when flashing via odin theres always the .tar file only...
so i renamed the md5 file by deleting the ending(.md5) and seems like nothing changed to the file size etc(is it still safe to use in odin?). just need to know which file should i use to flash the single pda, the .tar or .tar.md5?(which is safer?)
thanks!!!

Ahahahaha for real? Nothing changed to the file size? . You know my HDD got suddenly light as I deleted some big files
Sorry, really sorry for that . I just couldn't resist .
the file is the same, has nothing to do with the "ending"
you can flash it .the md5 just suggest it has a checksum/hash maybe there
http://goo.gl/SGj1d
Just Google MD5 .
Its a verification of the file is all ..

Help Using Odin To Upgrade Stock Firmware

I would like to upgrade my stock firmware to KL4 using Odin and am unsure if I need a Pit file or will the tar file be all that I need. Also, do I need to select "Re-Partition" in Odin?
Thanks for any help
you dont need the pit file, you just need the tar file or the files containe within the tar file

If you have 3 files after extracting (CODE,MODEM,CSC) then attach these three files as PDA=CODE , PHONE=MODEM, CSC=CSC, if you have one file the attach it in PDA,
Then UnCheck Re-partition,
no need to select Pit file,
Put your phone in download mode,
Attach phone to PC
Once your PC detects your Phone Click Start
After Flashing Device restarts twice. Done..

Thanks very much for your very helpful reply.
Remember using PC Odin to update, you are closing way to Root your device, If you want to Root it, just Root before it. See installation guide on my signature for further detail

Thanks for your advice and the guides which are very helpful. I've downloaded the German stock ROM (LA4) from your list but I've been unable to extract the tar file using Winzip, so I'm stuck at the moment. Any further help from anyone how to extract the files would be appreciated.

Thanks once again for your help. I didn't know that Winzip did not work and that I needed 7z which I have downloaded and extracted the tar file.
I had a problem with Odin. Could not get it to flash la4 no matter what I tried.
So I bought mobile odin , put the relevant file on my phone and I was upgraded in under ten min Awesome app, sometimes its worth payin some money to get the job done

Put your phone in download mode (power button+volume down button+home button while its switched off) then connect via usb.
First select the .ops file in the ops column
Then in odin tick the "one package" option and select the MD5 file. Then just flash it. Done.
Yup its one package file just tick one package.. And select the md5 file.

[Q] Cannot open Kies/Samsung firmware file

Hello forum-comers,
I want to update my cell's firmware using Kies, but neither this nor FOTA are possible. I've trying using Kies to download a firmware file (to %username%\appdata\local\temp\Binary\GT-I9000 folder), and got a "download complete" notice. The file is supposed to be a *.tar archive containing other *.tar archives that are flashable with Odin, but it has no extension (just a name) and I can't open it. I've tried adding a *.tar or a *.zip extension but it didn't seem to help.
Does anyone know how to open or use that file?
Problem solved
Okay, it turns out that the file is encrypted somehow, and there's a program that can open it (as well as check and download firmware without the Kies suite) - it's called Check Fus, and you can read about it on this thread from a couple of years ago, or head to the dev's website. The decrypted file is a zip containing both a firmware *.tar file that can be flashed using Odin, as well as a *.dll the purpose of which I don't know.
