HI people of xda.. I just got a samsung galaxy s i9000 as a present..
It has a 2.3.4 Gingerbread.xxjvp firmware.. I want to upgrade to jelly bean but when i try to root it in my laptop Odin can not detect .tar file..
I followed all the instructions. I did not extract the file..
What seems to be the problem? Please help me..
Many thanks..
How does the file name end ???
Yeah take any symbols or decimal points out of the filename except for the extension obviously. Has to be that if the tar file in the dir isn't displayed when you go to select it in odin.
If you plan on jumping from GB to JB, back up your efs folder because you will very likely lose your imei and have to replace it. If you don't want to lose and have to fix your imei (easy to fix anyway) then you must go via an ics rom (cm9).

Dears.
i need to know how to flash a new stock ROM that consist only from single file.
i used to flash my phone many times successfully using ODIN with the common 3 files avaliable (PDA, Modem & CSC + Latona)
i have downloaded a new firmware (I9003JPKE1_OJPKC2_JXKA4)
when you extract this file, you can not find the files mentioned earliar (PDA, Modem & CSC )
the result of the extracting is (I9003JPKE1_JXKA4_OJPKC2_HOME.tar)
so how to flash single file???
thanks
Just flash it as pda. No other file its required.

thanks for your replay
but the name of the file specify 3 names for 3 files.
so is it sure that PDA , Phone & CSC can be flashed as one file??
sorry for asking a confirmation.
Is the new arabic firm right? Flash it on pda like said..nor pit file nor re partition required

yes i had the same thing, but the first time i flashed it loading the pit file too
i dont know was that right or wrong :S
okay.. iw was a wrong thing to do and my phone was stuck at the samsung flashing srceen, i then flashed the gingerbread back and it worked well.. but i want to know how to flash froyo arabic since gingerbread doesnt support arabic yet .. any help appreciated
Single-file-flashing: just put into PDA. But don't use Re-Partition or PIT-file!!
You need a Froyo-ROM with bootloader cause you have Ginger running now.There should be three parts (CSC,PDA and Phone).You'll get it on samfirmware.com.
And wrong section, this thread should be in i9003-section...

I am running a 2.3.3 branded rom from my provider on a GT-I9000 device (based on JHJV9).
Using odin I flashed speedmod k15-t24 kernel to get root permissions.
I am done with all the backups and I no longer need root, so i want to flash back the original kernel of this rom. I have the original zImage file of this kernel, and I tried to flash it back using SGS kernel flasher, but the procedure fails.
I want to try flashing it back using odin, but the zImage file is not packed in tar.
My question is -
Using winrar, can I remove the zImage file from the speedmod tar, and then paste the original rom zImage file instead? Will I be able to flash it using odin then?
If the answer is no, how do I create a proper tar file for odin with the desired zImage file?
You just need to tar the zimage - you can name it anything- see Fugu mod root thread. The tar creation seems very sensitive. I tried 7zip and peazip and both did not work. The last one suggested in fugu mod did. The other programs created tars that all looked ok as files but would not flash in odin. No status bar on the phone and progress stopped on odin. The good news is that you aren't bricked if you pull the battery and start again.
You can also use fugu mod root and then keep your stock kernel.

another Alternative is to use Heimdall to flash yr prefer modem or kernel...
a little bit difficult to understand heimdall use, but not difficult to use. Only catch that u need to watch out is yr need to be in the same directory of the file that u want to flash..
u can know more about heimdall by search thru Google.. for heimdall for galaxy s. hope this help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks for the answers,
Perhaps the Heimdall method will be easier. I'll start doing my homework on this platform.
hello,
use cygwin + cygwin packages.
Works great for me for releasing my own custom rom with odin.
i tried 7-zip but did not work.
good luck.
To make your .tar, try Izarc.
Working for me.
need help with original kernel file...
hey dangol, i have JHJV9 too, (JHJVB after kies update) and i was trying to root my phone but last time i did i messed up the signal strength, internet, etc. and had to take it back to orange. so this time im taking a backup of everything including the original kernel, which i cant do because you need root access to backup a kernel which entitles flashing a different kernel anyway, so i looked on the internet for an original; samfirmware.com and israeli forums and know one has it, so i was wondering if you could send me the original kernel in a file i could use with odin, and the CSC files if you have it. I'd really appreciate any help you give, iv'e been stuck for weeks.
Hi,
I'm looking to update my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 to the latest official Gingerbread released here in Australia. I have gone here to find and download the firmware. In all the videos I've watched, you're required to use multiple files in Odin to flash a firmware(pda, phone, csc, pit). My problem is though when I opened the downloaded firmware there was only one file, a .tar file. How would I go about flashing this?
Thanks.

Don't flash that. You may run into a problem. I recommend you use GB flashing kit from here: http://d-h.st/4np and flash it. Its for galaxy s. Its got everything you need. If you want a step by step instruction go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966. That is how to use it. I hope I helped! It worked for me!

i rooted my samsung galaxy 8.9 lte GT-P7320 the i957 method 2 and now it can't read my internal memory all i get is 127mb instead of 16gb.... i flashed this kernel after that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569122 , the memory problem still not be fixed. I don't have a stock rom odin back to, pls help me, thanks
Get the stock Rom from sammobile.com. it's a zip file you'll have to use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin.
Btw the i957 is not a P7320 Make sure you get the right roms for your device. That's the problem you have right now

Should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
You'll have to identify the bad partition and then manualy rebuild the partition table with ADB.
You'll lose up to 3gb of space and stock roms will probably not work anymore without fc's. Cm based roms usually work best after emmc brick revival.

Remove the battery. Put back. Then plug the charger and let the phone charge for a couple of hours before you boot into download mode again?
Buy an external battery charger. They are very cheap

My phone was bricked.
And I use hg42 revival method.
Simply go into download mode.
Use odin pc to flash stock rom (gingerbread preferred).
And....
Choose the pit from hg42, tick repartition.
Flash.
Voila. It is up alrd with a lost of 3gb. But I didn't care since I have ext sd.
PS:
It will be good if u know how to identify the bad block first. So u can choose the correct pit file to do repartition of ur device.
And.... u better charge ur battery first, no matter how r u goin to do it. I m sure u don't want to get worst while flash with odin pc, and ur battery dead.

Check md5 sum of downloaded file...
I think it's the download of the file.
than try this-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
After that try to flash PhilZ kernel (look for .tar file in Philz thread and flash via ODIN-i don't preffer ODIN but since u got nothing else u have to flash via ODIN PhilZ kernel) and some custom TW JB ROM from CWM that comes with PhilZ kernel.
So everything should be working or?

You just need download mode to flash pit file. Then once complete flash Phillz kernel.

You have to do it manualy with your brain and your hands.
With ADB you can check each partitions to find the one faultly and then create new one.
you will loose space on mass storage (UMS partition) but your phone will work.
So are you still on stock recovery? After flashing PIT you need to format emmc, data, cache and system before flashing new ROM with Odin. You need custom kernel for that.
Also, did you do factory reset with CWM.zip before you bricked?

its because he has bricked the phone and no access to recovery currently. also Odin (PC/Mobile) is the only way to get back a stock official rom
