Flashing my phone to the way it was.

Hello everyone,
I want my phone back to the way it was on android 2.1 so I can update to 2.2.
I got 2.2 on my phone before it was officially released, and had to do it with other CSC etc.
So I want my phone back to the way it was when I bought it, how will I be doing this?
I remember I had JM2 when I got it.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Found this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Those are the ones you get when buying the phone right? So, can I just pick the JM2 and flash it?

Please help.

yes the ones in that link are official stock ROMs just flash which ever you desire and your phone is 100% original again.

Alright then, thanks.
I'm trying to find a tutorial on how to flash it, since it's been awhile. But I can only find tutorials for custom roms.

the tutorial is in the link, its relatively easy. have you downloaded the stock rom you want ?? does it come in 1 file or 3

It's still downloading it, but it's 1 file in .exe format.
The CSC's in that thread, does not include a JM2 one. Am I missing something? And what PIT file do I have to use?

im confused ??? its in .exe format ? wait till it download and then open it and make sure... if it needs a pit it should all be in there, a lot of stock roms come in just 1 .tar file.

I think it's a 7zip.
Alright, I'll just reply in this thread when there's something I need. Thanks for the help so far.

The PIT file isn't included, do I really need to use it or is it optional?
I think I have to use the 512.

just make sure re-partition is checked before you flash.

Alright.
But I think I have a little problem.
When I connect my phone, "0:[COM3]" shows up yellow in Odin. Shouldn't it be green?
Screenshot: http://i52.tinypic.com/34j4ufk.png
(I hope it's clear)
And it's just stuck there.

its supposed to be yellow.

Ok, but does it take long for it to go on?
I've tried it without the PIT file but then this happens.

<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

have you extracted the files ?? or did it come in 1 file ?

Procedure:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (For kernel flashes, only PDA is required. For FW flashes, .PIT and at least a PDA is required. Some PDAs have Modem and CSC integrated. Make sure you have the correct .PIT file. Usually 512.pit)
3.Check the "Re-Partition" checkbox.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.When the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.

That's what I forgot, the download mode.
But the Re-partition has to be un-checked? Should it be checked or not?

check it, if you have all 3 files. and pit. then everything will be normal

Ok, it's going good so far.
You have been a great help, I really appreciate it
It did say something about having no access to multi-something. But other went fine.

good, just be sure to let it boot properly. sometimes it can take 15mins to boot up so dont panic. as long as ODIN says PASS, all is well.

I got another question.
Since it's android 2.1 and 2.2 being released. Kies should tell you that there is an update?
But Kies says: This version of the device cannot be updated.
By current firmware version it says: PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1
Something wrong?

[Q] odin help - not flashing back to stock

OK, I flashed to a new ROM and would now like to flash back to the stock ROM due to some issues with the new ROM, but whenever I do it, I wind right back where I started, with the flashed ROM, not the stock ROM (2.1). I may have deleted a file that is needed to get back to stock. Is there such a file? I follow all the instructionals and everything works well, it just doesn't flash back to stock?

We would need allot more details in order to pinpoint where you are going wrong.
My best guess is that you are not being recognized by odin, you are clicking start and nothing is happening. How long is the odin flash taking?

Im using Odin 3 v1.00. With the Captivate, I go into download mode and Odin recognizes it. I get the following
<ID:0/009> Added!!
Then I click start and the list expands to
<ID:0/009> Added!!
<ID:0/009> Odin v.3 engine (ID:9)..
<ID:0/009> File analysis..
<ID:0/009> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/009> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/009> Removed!!
It says Reset up top, but when the phone reboots, it just reboots back to the Cognition 4.1.1 that I was running

I had this exact problem last night, I was trying to flash back to stock from a I9000 ROM I had installed and it wasn't running good for me. So I did what I had done in the past, I was using the Captivate ToolBox to flash back to stock, my phone would go into Download mode, but Odin never saw it. I thought that was odd, so I tried the regular Odin flash to stock as well, using the pulling the battery and holding down vol up and down and plugging in the USB. Still Odin didn't see my phone.... I then rebooted my computer, put my phone in download mode and plugged in into my computer and for some odd reason Windows said it was installing new drivers for my device. After it completed, Odin saw my phone and I was able to flash back to stock, so you could try that, it may help you.
EDIT...Oops, sorry not the same deal I had, sorry..

Try different usb port
Make sure odin is open first
Be aware of what build tourer phone is, located under battery something like 1008. If 1010 our higher don't use one click
If box in odin turns yellow and days "com#" then you are recognized if not you are not
Phone must be in dl mode
Correct drivers must be installed

Beowulf, you commented
YYou need to supply the firmware file to flash (click on the "PDA" button, and browse to where you downloaded it--you *did* download it, right?), and optionally the ".pit" file if you need to re-partition when you flash.
I think you are right, but what would I point to in order to flash back to stock? Where would I get it? I can find what to point to if I wanted to flash to Cognition 4.1.1 or one of the other custom ROM's, but I cant seem to find what file I can download/point to in order to restore to stock ROM.

I believe I installed the correct drivers (that allow me to connect to Odin) as I do get the yellow box and it says 0:[com9]. Phone is in download mode. Also, it says 1008 under the battery.

I wound up following teh lead that Beowulf gave me as I was using the full blown Odin and not the 1 click. When I watched videos on how to flash back to stock, I did wonder why teh version I was using looked different. I had assumed that it was just a slightly newer version.
To make a long story short. Once I used the 1 click Odin, I flashed back to stock easily. Thanks to all for your help. Much appreciated.

[Q] bricked galaxy s? which firmware

Hi,
I've got here a bricked galaxy s from a friend of my. he tried to root the galaxy s without knowing how.
But the problem is.. I don't know which firmware he had. So i don't know which .tar file i need for odin3 to restore.
Can i track somehow the firmware? its an europe version with 2.2 he said. Or is there an other way to restore this phone?
When i startup the phone it hangs at the galaxy s logo. I can enter download mode

Use Sammobile.com
You'll need to make a login first and then just follow the click to the files..
There are also stock packages in the general section such as cf-root, to gain root access. And there are other stock firmware threads there.
Try only flashing the code.tar file, I think that's where the kernal is but best to confirm that somewhere. Otherwise just flash the whole stock package.

i bricked my galaxy and i recomand a stock package and from that you can root and you can change to a custom rom if he wants that...

can you be more specific how to get the right firmware? Do i need to go to SAMFIT? or SAMSUNG LETTER CODE? i have no idea how to find it

Ok, sorry i thought Sammobile.com had complete instructions on how to find the firmware for you like it used to, but I haven't used it in a while..
I don't remember what all those codes mean and tbh it doesn't matter too much. The main thing is to find your CSC code. This will be the factor that would usually cause problems (actually annoyances) if incorrect, e.g. SMS messages not being received with the correct time and date.
Here, Ramad a very respected member of the community has made a collection of firmware generally with multi-CSC's. You can use these downloads or really any of the other downloads from sammobile (link to the Europe section). It doesn't matter much if he doesn't get the correct firmware because they are all available in Europe.
Find your CSC from Samfit samsung letter code. They are the 3-letter codes nearing the bottom. Press " Ctrl + F " and then type in your country. This will highlight your country on the page. Look to see if your carrier has a specific code, if it does then remember is and look at Ramad's list.
Go down to the 2.2 or 2.2.1 section and again " Ctrl + F " and type in the CSC. Look for the firmware that has it listed. Download that firmware and flash using the instructions at the top of Ramad's thread or using the pdf that you can download from sammobile. Generally the latest build date is best to download. But if you don't it doesn't matter because you will be using stock you can plug it into Kies and it will update it for you.
To check your CSC the long way (I cannot remember the short way ) type in *#272*(your imei)#
This will display your current imei and allow you to change it. Changing it to the one you want will factory reset your phone so be ready.
If i have left anything out or you have any more questions then let me know...
Hope all goes well

Oke. I really bricked the phone now i guess.
If i turn on power.. it doesnt do a thing. can't enter download mode either
i downloaded the right .tar file im almost sure. But when it was flashing.. The phone was constantly rebooting. so the usb connectiong diddnt stay on.

Not to worry. You probably haven't bricked it. The worst you will probably have to do is make a purchase of a USB jig which forces download mode...
Before that however there are multi tricks to try get it into DM. (Obviously make sure your battery is sufficiently charged.)
1. Hold down the combo and then put the battery in, whilst holding the combo. (You will probably need help)
2. Start Odin (make sure all kies apps are closed on the comp first) plug in phone. Hold down combo.
3. Same as number 2 without battery. If it doesn't work. Set up as 2 hold combo then battery in.
4. Same as 2 with charger instead of computer.
I think those are all the combinations but you can search for it. There used to be a thread on general listing all the ways you could be bricked and ways of getting out.
Anddddd if all that fails, then you can make or buy a USB jig. Search general if you want to buy it but also you can find links to buyers members have used.
And in the worst case none of that works.. you can set the unbrickkable mod which means you will loose warranty for ever and never get it back as it is a hardware modification. I'll give the link to that if and when you need it.
Good luck

pfjew. it worked. can enter download mode!
But when i want to flash my proper firmware it asks for a pit file this time. But i don;t have a pit file at my firmware that i downloaded from sammobile. only a .tar file and a .dll
Which .pit should i use? I really want the right one this time. Deffenitily dont want to brick the damn thing i grabbed this firmware from sammobile
I9000XWJW1 ## 2.3.6 2012 January I9000XENJV5 Netherlands

I did a quick search because Sammobile is now super crap. Remember reading this..
[GUIDE] [INFO] The reality of PIT files
Having a quick scan of what it says, I believe it does not matter...But best to read to be sure.
Let us know if it works

it worked. flashed the firmware. rom doesnt work.. Boot loop.
Can enter Android system recovery now. But because that doent support my external sd, and i can't boot properly i can't flash a new rom?
I would like to flash CWM with external_sd support. searching for that one now
(i know how at my optimus 2x.. but everything is lots easier at optimus 2x compared to sgs)

Have you tried flashing it again?
Also have you tried flashing an older rom with a multi csc that includes your csc?
And finally [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000, usually helps people stuck in your situation. Id try the first two though because it keeps stock.

last one worked. thanks A LOT!

Hi,
my SGS seems to be bricked. I have tried everything described in the posts before, but nothing worked.
Here is what I did:
I downloaded several roms (those mentioned in the previous posts and from other forums) and installed them via Odin3 (1.85). The Odin log says everything went fine:

The SGS reboots and stucks at the very first Samsung logo (the one without animation). When I hit the softkeys, the light goes on, but doesn't turn off again.
After each installation I didn't touch the phone for 20 minutes hoping that something happens - but nothing
Only 2 options are left:
- returning to the download mode
- removing the battery
Another strange issue: When I try to load the SGS, the displays turns on and shows the battery symbol, but it is not animated.
Has anyone an idea what else I can do?
Thank you for your help in advance!

@keinfilter:
from samfirmware.com the flash program for i9000 is 1.82 or 1.3 or 1.0
have you used the 512 pit file?

Well you say you have done all of the above...
1. You cant even boot with [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000??
2. Wipe by going into recovery and doing all these wipes...
wipe date/factory reset + wipe cache + mount and storage>>>format system+cache+datadata+data (I dont wipe boot and you need sdcard)
After doing all the above wipes try Darky or stock with repartition checked...
3. I'm assuming that you used single tar files for flashing via odin, have you tried Odin flashes with 3 files?? If not either find a rom with 3 files or split one of the roms using the following guide by Ramad
Let us know if any of that works...
Good luck

After trying the DarkyROM with his ODIN again, the DarkyROM logo (Galaxy S GT-I9000 powered by DarkCore & Darky's rom) is displayed instead of the samsung logo. But the boot process doesn't continue
DarkyROMs zip archive contains only the PDA.tar, what about the CHC and PHONE? Do I have to use these from other roms? I haven't tested it yet, because I don't want to make it worse.

I can't access the recovery mode. Tried it via holding Vol up + Home button + Power button until the Samsung logo was shown the 2nd time and then releasing all buttons, but nothing else than the samsung logo.

All the roms I tried consisted of 3 files but the DarkyROM.
Edit: Btw: I have no micro-sd or sim card inserted because I read in any forum it is better to remove them. I don't know if this makes any difference.

Has anyone further ideas? Any help would be appreciated!

Try to reflash in JVU STOCK with PiT512, MODEM, CSC, etc... with battery fully charged.

To Bricked or not to be bricked

Hello all,
I have a sg-n7000. And i was trying to put another rom on it.
I downloaded odin mobile because the pc odin did not past further then ''zimage''.
I selected abys kernel. (i have a lpy kernel on android 4.03. this is ICS?)
after i executed the file, my note restarted. And didn't past the samsung boot screen.
it's still possible to enter download mode & clok workmod recovery v5.8.1.5. (entered by pressing volume up, home and power button)
I went to cwm and selected wipe data. it's still possible to enter cwm and download mode.
But i don't know what to do, to recover to a working phone. At this point it doesn't matter to me if it's going back to stock rom or to custom rom. As long as get's back to live.
Please who can help me.
many thanks

Ok, does it matter which stock rom. because i had the lky kernel.
1. I'm downloading now "N7000XXLPY_N7000XENLP1_XEN.zip" on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
is this a good one?

So long as its stock it shouldnt matter, You should try to get the original one your phone came with, Or as close as possible.
I believe the issue is the kernel, You could try to flash another one before going down the route of restoring to stock.
Give speedmod a try, if it fails to boot still, then flash stock GB

And it has the lpy kernel. I believe this one was a unstable version.

What now.

how long has it been stuck like that for ? if anything was to fail it would be datafs or factoryfs. Its weird that its sticking on the kernel.
Have you tried to flash stock kernel in ODIN, and then the firmware on top ?

the first time i used odin, downloaded abys kernel as it would be a safe kernel. It hung for 45 min.
the second time, i downloaded the N7000XXLPY_N7000XXLPT_N7000XENLP1_HOME.tar.md5. And it hung.
And if i'm right i cant put that file on de sd card and install from cwm.

close KIES and try again with pc odin.

i'm on a different computer without KIES. I installed samsung usb driver.

Ok,
i downloaded the stockrom.
Went to annother pc.
Started odin up.
Selected the downloaded tar file with the pda button.
did select only reboot & reset time.
hit start.
it went further now. But in the end. odin gave a red flashin fault.
Is it now bricked?

Could be a communication error with the device...
As mentioned Hard brick would usually hang on FactoryFS or Data..
Try rebooting your PC
Use an alternate USB port and retry..

Hi all,
Thanx all. I managed to get a gb xxkk5 running on the note.
I went to another computer.
And used odin.
selected:
- pit file (downloaded from here)
- stockrom (downloaded from sammobile)
removed sd card and sim card.
hit start.
Now he is in configure mode of a new samsung account.
Again, thanks.

you give not detail as needed. but nevermine, from the last part it seems you has bricked your phone.
i think you might need to refer "hg42" thread to revive your note.
Sad to be hear that.

My Galaxy Note GT-N7000 was on CM10 last night and I followed Zedomax's rootgalaxynote.com GT-N7000 unrooting method and when I was installing the Mobile Odin Lite on my phone, it said it needs to download more add-on to be able to flash it, then all the sudden my internet connection was down, so I couldn't download it, but followed his instruction and tried wipe and factory reset, but it got stuck at formatting (no progress), then I flashed cm9 again, but it was stuck at cm9 boot logo, nothing else. Then I followed Zedomax's rootgalaxynote.com's first method using my Computer Desktop but

the ever GOLDEN RULE: Don't ever ever attempt to WIPE data if your on a unsafe or on a stock ICS kernel. That's should be at the top of your list before you do anything on your phone. If you need to WIPE, make sure your already in a safe kernel or if you haven't still, then flash one.
Now going back on your perennial issue. The only thing you can and will do is FLASH a stock GB on download mode using PC ODIN. Yes Doc Ketan's thread/s have those old GB's ROM.. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, follow it to a tee.
One added thing when your going to start to flash GB again... Pray, that it would not stuck back again at 'factoryfs.img'
Good luck bud!

No luck...yet.

I spent two days straight working on it, but no luck. I think I am gonna contact Samsung and send it to them for the warranty and I don't know if they would know that I rooted it. But I am just gonna give a try. Please share your knowledge and thoughts. Thank you.

Can you get the Note into Download mode?
If so, try using desktop Odin (latest desktop version not mobile version) and flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel. the Tar file is easily found on XDA. This is a GB kernel and should allow you to get into full Recovery. From there you can flash a new ROM as you are now on a safe kernel.

Tried that, but not sure about the latest desktop version.

Hi, thank you for your message, I was on Abyskernel when I factory data reset, and tried to flash back to cm9 from cm10, but no luck. Then I used Odin3-v1.85 on desktop with Gingerbread Rom, it got stuck at factoryfs.img.. I have tried with different pc disabling firewall and anti virus. What is the latest desktop version of Odin that you know? What specific tar file do you know that is the best? Thank you again.

your CM10 to CM9 downgrade sounds like a bad flash, it can happen. I would try Odin3 V3.05 with Abyss (search for "AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar" or go here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yoe791qq3atbung/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar).
this should allow you to install a safe kernel to flash from. if you can now access Recovery, then you can flash a ROM from there. I would use a Stock based one (I always recommend Chrack ROM or Criskelo), If you prefer, you can download a Stock tar file and use Odin but I would try downloading the latest Chrack ROM or Criskelo ROM, transferring it to your micro SD and flashing after you have installed the Abyss tar.
I hope this helps. Please hit Thanks if it did.

You gave me the AbyssNotekernel, but the only thing my phone can now do when I turn on is either show a screen with "Firmware upgrade encounters an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" or on download mode. Or is there any way I can use the Desktop Odin and try to install the AbyssNotekernel that you gave me? I really don't know bro. Thank you for the message, please let me know.

Yes, the Abyss tar file is for use with Odin. install Odin on your PC, put the Note into Download and connect. Flash the tar file and wait for the Note to reboot (search for notes on how to flash with Odin if you're not 100% sure). you should now be able to use Recovery to flash a ROM from this safe kernel.

Just a quick question.

Sorry I didn't explain in details, I am on pc Odin version 3.07 and clicked on PDA but the Abyss tar file is not appearing there even after unzipping it a couple of times on the desktop. Please let me know bro. Thank you for your response.

.tar file is to be flashed with odin directly. It has an image inside and should not extract it. Should put the .tar file in one folder but not on desktop screen. Select pda box in odin and brow to the folder where you put .tar file. Should see it there.
BTW, if flash using CWM failed again, then should use hg42 scanner to check if there is partition damage.

Thanks for your patience on your instruction, I actually was able to flash the Abysskernel that you gave me with ODIN and it went straight to the recovery mode, but then I can't install anything, then I put it back to download mode and tried to flash a Gingerbread ROM, but as always it got stucked at factoryfs.img. What do you think I can do bro? Please let me know about it. Thank you.

It seem to show you have an emmc brick, although using the partition scanner will confirm. The options are to send to ss service for warranty or to revise using repartition. For warranty you will need to reset flash counter using a jig.

Hi bro,
I flashed the Abysskernel again and it went to Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 logo with big Triangle at the bottom and it then goes to Android system recovery <3e>, then it looks like there is no option for me to access the SD card, but its own 16GB storage it came with and that one has CM10 in it. Tried to flash that, but it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". If I attempt to claim for warranty will Samsung know that I rooted it after clearing the binary counts? Please let me know. Thank you for your instructions. If there is anything else you want me to try out, please let me know. Thank you.
Khai.

Once reset flash counter the triangle will go and you can flash a stock kernel find link from dr.ketan toolbox, then it is ok to send to warranty.

Hi bro, it somehow managed to get on CWM and but any flashing was aborted. And tried to flash Criskelo, but got stuck at installing, no progress. What should I do? Thank you.

Just two options above, warranty or repartition.
