[Q] How to flash modem with Odin or Heimdall?

I would like to know how to flash UGJL2 modem on top of I9000XXJPY, using Odin or Heimdall.
Thanks in advance

flash it with CWM, mutch reliable.

i always use the odin,it is easy to use,first you should connect your sgs to pc,and download the rom,after that open odin,and you should choose pit,pda（the rom) file

PDA thats a Rom not a modem and does not need pit either .
jje

-download an official rom from http://www.samfirmware.com/, extract
-start Odin.
-Select "phone" and fetch the modem.bin file.
-Only thing checked should be "Auto Reboot"
-Put phone in download mode
-Plug in USB
-hit Start
Let it reboot and thou shalt have signal

I followed these steps, but Odin seems to get stuck, progress bar reach the end but then nothing happens, I left the phone plugged in by 5 minutes, I don't think it should take that long, don't know what I am missing, thanks.

Does flashing a MODEM only with Odin wipe anything from the phone or will it leave everything intact?
Thanks

Changed the modem in custom rom from XXJPY to DXJPB (I live in Singapore) and everything is intact so didn't lose apps, data, or settings

Am also looking to flash my modem but a general question to the group which might be off-topic but do you guys see noticeable difference with different modems (battery life, performance, call quality)? Am in a similar position to szqnl and live in Singapore so thinking about doing the same thing and wondering how much of difference it will be.

What's the difference between Odin and Heimdall?

I just downloaded a modem in .zip format should I extract the .bin from zip in order to flash it in odin ?

Heimdall has a big horn that can be heard everywhere and likes to lay around and party while looking out for Armageddon. Odin is more of a warrior and has a spear called Gungnir that was made by a team of master dwarf smiths and could strike any target in his field of view.

You have posted in wrong thread, for i9000.....
Download mode: good!
Flash with Odin or Heimdall only modem for your phone. Extract it from your last used stock rom, compress to .tar file (in Linux native, in Windows use 7-zip) and choose under PDA in Odin.
Alternatively, you can flash a whole stock image, but it will wipe all your data. Use Odin 3.04 or 3.07 and run it as administrator.

[Q] Flashing Back to stock firmware on my tab

Sorry guys for being a noob.
Story is my tab is rooted and flashed with the OVERCOME RC 2.0 GOLD rom from following alterbridge's thread procedures. Beautiful rom, no complaints.
However the screen has been acting up lately with the finger held down and screen shaking issue.
Ive searched and searched and have concluded its a hardware problem.
I need to flash back to stock for warranty.
For being the noob I am, I've downloaded the stock files....but I don't know how to flash it back.
Attached is a picture of a .zip file of the files inside the zip. Do I use ODIN to flash back? What are the procedures? What file is associated with which box in ODIN? Sorry I just don't have a clue. Or do just throw this into my tab's SD memory and update from CWM recovery mode?...
Do I use superoneclick to unrooted after back to stock rom?
I just don't want to brick my tab...Thanks for any help...
The stock ROM should be a 2.2 FROYO, and the ROM I'm on right now is on Gingerbread...if this makes any difference...

Use this guide first flash with odin it tells you how to flash with odin at the bottom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
and after flash whatever froyo rom you want make sure you got the one that shipped with your device if its going back for warrenty again flash with odin and your done.
Edit dont forget the thanks button if this hellped you .

Thanks for the link.
So i have the .pit file for the PIT section.
No need for phone and csc section i assume.
But for PDA section i dont have any files available? From my attached picture. i only have a data.tar.gz file. Im not sure what that file is? do i just rename it to .tar??? please help

Sorry not sure on them files i think you can use heidmal with those files do a search on here for that

Anyone???
What do I use? ODIN? HEIMDALL? I need help please.

From overcome gold you will have to re-stock to froyo. Which means a repartiton with pit file + phone + modem files. You will need odin for this.
I would suggest flash back to a safe froyo rom first - as per jutleys link above. Then flash back to your original firmware version.
From the pic above looks like you have unzipped the full.zip. For Odin You need the full zip in the pda section, modem zip in the modem and the pit file in the pit section. Download full zips from roto's link above.
Then check out roto backup thread (shows how to restore using heimdall / odin). As i havent flashed back to my original firmware yet, someone else could advise better. I am assuming for stock purposes you need to put the original stock firmware zip into pda section of odin and leave everything blank and then flash away.
Cheers

Thank you for your response. I'll work on getting back safely to a froyo rom.
As for the picture, it is a pic of the content inside the full zip already. Should i unzip and enter modem and pit according? But what goes into the pda section?

That pic is from a firmware from samfirmware? It has the bootloaders in it so be very careful as flashing bootloaders can cause bricks or be protected ones. As i said before, i think you flash the full zip in the pda section and leave the rest blank i.e no need to unzip.
But do so only after flashing using roto safe froyo rom.
As for the files above, It might be wise to take out the bootloaders then rezip & flash but i would wait on someone with a bit more knowledge just to confirm this.
As long as they are the original files for your firmware, you should be ok.

Thanks for your help ezynow.
UPDATE: I've successfully downgraded from Overcome Gingerbread to Overcome Froyo now.
Now it's just a matter of getting my head wrapped around this stock ROM right. The order, and where the files should go.
Anyone else would like to share their insight? This is the file I downloaded, and this is how it is presented to me. I just need someone to help me sort out what is what.
Thanks.
UPDATE #2: Tried re-zipping and converting to tar file. ODIN failed. Re-zipped into tar again without the data.tar.gz file because I don't know what it is, and failed again.
I don't know what to do anymore. How do I get this to work?

bump
anyone?
UPDATE #3: Tried loading the whole .zip file from CWM. No luck.

Who's your service provider?

I sugest look for another stock rom here that is in the correct format i am sure i seen a post showing all stock roms somewhere use odin

Link deleted. It mentions to use pit file + full zip in pda section . Then says out of date.
Also did you check rotobbackup method thread - use heimdall and flash individual files from your extraced zip files. Assuming you can avoid flashing bootloaders you should only be a soft-brick if anything goes wrong and download mode still available.
Forget about using cwm for anything stock related.
Sum1 who has reverted back to stock surely can help out here!
p.s what was your original firmware version?

I have succesfuly downgraded from gb overcome gold to arabic froyo using the file from samfirmware. First try resulted in stuck at samsung logo but I was expecting that due to the ext4 partition. A cache wipe and factory reset in recovery solved that problem. Also I observed when going to recovery that there were errors in red that are coming out complaining of access problem to certain files. Since I am able to boot I then proceded to format the internal sd. After that I again flashed using the same arabic fw. No problems so far even kies sees my fw as the latest.
Here is the procedure I followed-change the files according to your fw version

Thanks a lot for the help guys.
I will try going to another stock firmware later this afternoon.
However, the firmware I really need is P1000MUGJJ7 (Bell's stock firmware).
The files I have in hand are apparently the files for this firmware, but how to restore it, I have zero clue. These we're sent to me by a member on this forum.
I think the member said that these were created from roto backup.
I have looked everywhere else for this firmware version but it's NOWHERE. Neither does samfirmware.com
So to sum it up, pretty much these are my only sources to play with, and just gotta make it work...
Please help and thanks again.

anyone?

Please refer to the attached picture.
It's a pic of the contents inside the .zip file I was given.
Now I just need a solution as to HOW to use them.

Only the pit.pit file can be used.extract it and in odin load it under pit. then under pda load the whole tar file. then check repartition ,reboot and time.....start...

OK. So you are suggesting I take out pit file then CONVERT in someway the whole .zip file into .tar file for the PDA section, am I correct?
Now, I need a proper way to convert this file because I tried this using a converter I downloaded online. And after the conversion, the .tar files was double the size (over 400mb, original ~200mb). And flashing through ODIN using this new file didn't work. So what's the proper way to convert?

[Q] 7320 kernell needed

i need a 7320 kernel so i can flash my tab used the wrong root and now stuck with 127mb and no original backup....cheers to whoever helps me
Sorry if wrong section

here is a stock P7320T Kernel (flashable with ODIN) taken from this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538128
Use ODIN 1.85, click on PDA, select the file and click on "Start".
I've compiled a cwm recovery with this kernel that also works on the 7320. So I think it should be ok - but cannot test it.
edit: and the attachment.... =)

that one fails modem test...tried already

what do you mean by "modem test"? md5 checksum check within odin?
I extracted the kernel from the zip and added a new checksum, so it can be flashed seperately...

thank you very much, finally have my space again

what do you get if you unzip the file?
If you get a .tar file, just put it in the PDA in odin and start.
Or maybe look for another .zip or .tar file of the JW4 kernel.

Dear
When you download a kernel it's in 2 type one type is for flash with cwm and once for Odin if be zip is for cwm if be in tar extension is for Odin for Odin you should download tar and don't extract it. Just put it in pda section and finish
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

If the kernel is a zip file I would use SGS Kernel flasher app (on Google Play).
It backs up your current kernel before flashing.

if it is tar flash with odin.

No stock firmware of my country-which one to choose?

Hello,
I want to flash stock firmware from SamMobile, but my country is not there on the list,
So which firmware should I choose? I don't want to mess up things like modem or IMEI..

If you use Odin you won't lose your IMEI number but yes you'll change your modem... flashing a full package might change it, but I'm not sure. In full package roms "PHONE" file contains modem's data... I've never tried to flash a rom without this file...or simply changing this file but it could be a posibility :S:S:S
Where are you from? Maybe we could find a flashable CWM modem file

so what exactly is this modem? I mean, isn't the S5830 an international phone? so why does it need to have so many different modem types..
can I somehow save my current modem and install it later after flashing stock firmware?

Modem file contains data related with wireless connectivity, radio, network communications...
Yes you can to backup your current modem data, creating a flashable zip via CWM
Here it is the script
BACK UP YOUR ROM'S MODEM
1. Flash this zip via CWM
2. When the script finish you'll get a flashable zip in /sdcard/Backup_Modem with your current modem files

Always you flash a stock rom via Odin, you'll need to boot into stock recovery and do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition to avoid the bootloop.
Then enjoy!

Hi again :laugh: I am facing a problem now with all of these stock firmwares, my original stock firmware had RTL fix , so that the phone can support right-to-left languages, but since SamMobile does not have the rom of my country, what can I do to fix the RTL problem? maybe there is another stock firmware on the SamMobile list that you can see , and might have RTL fix?
Thanks again !

You can try this, it should work in whatever GB rom
You'll need root and CWM to try it, do a backup first (CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed) in case things get ugly
