I have downloaded various firmwares from this site but all say file corrupted,somewhere along the line, when I try to extract them. I would like to try these roms but this has happened every time! Is anyone else having this problem?
The firmwares I downloaded are
jetpack v2.1 wipe
Blockbuster rom
Surface
Please someone help me!

u shouldnt extract them u should flash in cwm(clockwork mod).. if u dont have cwm, flash cf root kernel via odin(load file in phone and make sure repartition is unchecked).. then u will have cwm menu after that install the above rom by it..
Exactly....they are not to be extracted, just flashed.
However before you flash ANYTHING it sounds like you need to do some more research and learn what you are doing. Read the excellent guides and FAQs here and educate yourself before you start messing with things. It may be the difference between having a successful flash and ending up with a touchscreen brick.

They shouldn't show as corrupted even though they aren't meant to be extracted, I'd be careful flashing these ROMs, most devs should provide an md5 hash which you can check your download against to make sure it's not corrupted.
Hi guys first and foremost, thank you for reading. I must say this is as a very informative forum with lots of good people in it. This is my first post, and i am an absolute noob so please bear with me. I am posting because i have tried my best to search for answers pertaining to my problem but to no avail, so i hope someone can really help me out here!
so i have a P1000 and bricked it before but anyway am now running
Sapir-10-20121118-nightly-p1-erezak
problem is, the baseband is unknown. which means my sim card does not work. WiFi works fine but i put in my sim card and it doesnt detect a network at all. I have also noticed that Whatsapp is not supported and with the rom, my phone gets warm at the back and power depletes rather fast.
i have doubled checked with a friend who has an unrooted P1000 with the original rom and he told me his baseband was "P1000-DXJPE"
i have gone here
http//wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Support_Downloads
and downloaded the DXJPE modem.bin file and tried to put it in the /radio folder but nothing has changed.
So can anyone help me on this? as in, tell me, in detail how i can make my phone work properly again with data/3g/mobile. Or i will just have to use it as a Wifi tablet.
I read this in the Sapir development thread, and i quote
"Originally Posted by _Derk_
No, just the other way round.
I recommend to have the correct modem.bin (for me JPZ) stored in SD card.
So in one of the cases where you have baseband unknown like now you copy it to /radio folder, even if there is already a modem.bin (which you delete prior). Then just assign the correct authorisations (RWXRWXRWX / 777) and it should work.
Bye,
Derk"
So if this is my answer, can anyone tell me how i can go about doing this? I have no idea what it means!
Another question; is this rom power conservative? My stock GB (or is that Froyo, i cant remember) rom seems to last quite awhile as compared to the Sapir rom. Even if i don't use it, it drains power really really quick in like, a day? Is this normal?
Big drain is normal when you have bad baseband.
The thing you quote, is exactly the same as your own method.
The difference is Derk suggest jpz modem.
So download jpz modem and unzip and place it in /radio
For permission, use root explorer or ES file explorer.
Click long on the file and access its properties, and tick all.

Hi Priyana thanks for the quick response i have already gotten the JPZ modem.bin and put it in /radio. I am actually using Solid Explorer instead of ES Explorer. Root Explorer does not work for some reason. I have also changed the permissions in properties as to what Dirk has mentioned,
RWXRWXRWX / 777
sadly, nothing has changed. What do u suggest i do next?
There was a build in the past that put it in /system/vendor/
Try that?

Done that. Doesn't work
Has this got anything to do with the Owner & Group for modem.bin? Both are now set as "0:root". Both can be changed to "1000:system", "1001: radio" and "1002:bluetooth".
So by right if i go to "settings/about tablet" i should see the baseband version if everything is ok right?
Yes, should be showing under baseband. Don't know what is wrong, maybe you want to flash different nightly.
I know it is a silly question, but you did reboot, right?

Yes i did reboot. I am actually trying to follow your guide to re-stocking. Unfortunately, Odin does not recognise my P1000 in download mode.
This is quite the disaster isn't it? I am ****ed aren't i. :crying:
Noob suggestion,
Wipe everything, factory reset, partition cache, dalvik cache, battery stat. Fix permission.
And reflash the ROM again, after that, reflash the gapps, and reflash the modem. Maybe it'll work.

Flashing modem is really totally unnecessary and leading to confusion if people grab the wrong flash able format.
In stock ROM when we have bml partition, the only way to change modem is via Odin or cwm.
In mtd based ROM, they sit right there in /radio/modem.bin
Odin cant detect the tab is indeed quite weird, but could be driver issue.
For now, try flash cm10 instead?

i just did. same thing. No baseband. what could i have done before to possibly let this happen? perhaps when i rooted it?
No, what you rooted as long been overwritten when you flash the rom using cwm.
I suspect you just need a different ROM.
Try aokp jb instead

I have the problem, before miui 4.0.4 works, after Sapir 4.1.2 the 3g is lost,

Obviously he restock.
You need to check if you have IMEI as 004xxxxxxx (bad IMEI) or the normal 35xxxxxxx.
if bad imei, it is corrupted efs
And in sapir thread we talked about it, use search.

You sure? On Sapir?
It is an MTD rom, odin flashing modem is never heard of!
But then again, it works....
I used Odin to download, but now the Tab is stuck as it just keeps saying loading...
I tried disconnecting the battery, but that didn't work.
Any ideas?

What did you try to download and do you have a custom recovery installed, twrp or cwm? With whatever recovery you have try doing a factory reset and wipes.

I believe I was trying to download a new CWM with odin. I'm not sure how to use a factory reset and wipes as I can't use anything on the GT, as it is stuck. As this point I am hoping that the new IC firmware will be available through Kies.
I can still use Odin from the PC through Kies, though.
Thanks again!

Golf Educator: confused:
Does Odin recognize your device? If so you can flash the stock rom from sammobile.com. You need to extract the .tar.md5 file from the zip. Use 7-zip to do that

Again, thanks for responding...
At this point I'm afraid of "Bricking it" before I can have a chance to update the firmware to IC. Hopefully that will be soon.
I really don't know what I am doing, and I have already screwed it up. The GT Honey Comb is working fine, but I can't do anything to upgrade it, internally, as everything is stuck within the GT!
At one point I was trying to upgrade to Jelly Bean, but now I'm just hoping to just get IC. If I can get the IC downloaded through Kies, I'm thinking that the new firmware upgrade using Kies will take care of things. What do you think?
I guess I can live without Jelly Bean.
But I'm willing to give something else a try, however, I would need detailed, step-by-step "For Dummies" directions on what I should do; and as kind as you are, I wouldn't want to ask you to do that?
Kind regards,
Golf Educator
Hi. Don't be scared of losing your device. Will try to walked you thru the process.. just to be more clearer. Can you write down all your device info such as current firmware that u r using? And also do tell us the region ( im XME -Malaysia) because sometimes not all the stock rom can be use to upgrade..
You may need :-
1- kies(for drivers)
2- cables
3- charge your tab to 80%
4- windows/os of ur pc or Mac
After you post all of the info. I or we will try our best to walk you thru the process

Okay, here we go... let's shoot for Jelly Bean!
Model number: GT-p7300, that has wifi with G3, European Version, as I work with the US military at RAF Lakenheath, England, and bought it locally. I am in the London world-time zone. Five hours earlier than EST.
Android version: 3.2
Baseband version: P7300xxkj6
Kernel version: 2.6.36.3 (Original when I bought it, however i did root it) [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 23 13:54:01 KST 2011
Build number: HTJ85B P7300XWKL4
I'm using a PC HP Pavilion with Windows 7 with Odin 3v1.85 that does turn yellow when used.
The Kies on my GT works, but the Kies on my PC for some reason doesn't recognize the GT. I believe the Kies drivers are loaded, ok.
I am using the original Samsonite Cable.
Now you know more about me than my wife does...
Thanks,
Golf Educator :fingers-crossed:
Sorry for all the questions, but it's hard to diagnose all the problems from a distance. It sounds like when you tried to flash cwm something messed up the tab. But if it still turns on you can probably get it to work again. Kies is a crapy program so I always use Odin. When you plug the tab into Odin does the com in Odin turn yellow and show the port?

I use Odin 3v1.85 with the correct Samsonite cable. It does turn yellow. I don't know if it shows the port. I haven't toyed with it again as I didn't want to lose the use of the GT to be able to update the new IC firmware that is on the way for this GT-P7300 with wifi and G3, European model.

Ok, that's good, Odin is working and now we can get you up and running. Let's try on thing first, can you to recovery mode? Hold the power button and volume up button down, when the tab responds let go of the power button but still.Hold the volume up, then a second later let go of the volume. This should bring you to a menu where you can do some wipes and a factory reset. (I don't remember exactly what's there) IF you can d o wipes try that first. If that doesn't work then try the factory reset (do you have any data and pictures,etc you wantbacked up?)

Hi,
I'm in the United Kingdom and bought the GT in England... It is the GT-P7300 with wifi and 3G. The IC hasn't been released for the United Kingdom, yet, but it should be out in a few days.
I also think that my Odin is working... but the Recovery Mode is the internal problem that I mentioned with the GT. That is where it is stuck saying that it is loading (but it is not loading). At this point my problem is because of that I can't get to anything and can't do anything in the Recovery Mode with it stuck in that frozen loading effort... including wipes, factory resets, etc., it just keeps on saying that it is loading!
Thanks, again, I appreciate your interest and effort!
Are you trying to use cwm 5.5.0.4 that's in the 8.9 development forum stickies? I would 're-download the .tar version again and try to reflash it with odin. You'll load it in the PDA section and only have the auto-reboot and f.reset checked. Don't have anything else checked. Your first attempt could have been a bad download of cmw.
If you're currently rooted then will have to do something different in order to get the OTA ics when it comes out. I just got it for my tab a few days ago. You'll like it much better than hc.

OK! I think I've made some progress...
I was able to get clockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar from androidjinn.com. I was also able to get a connection from Odin as it turned yellow. I loaded the PDA with the .tar as you suggested, and started it. It passed! Now I have a CWM that works. Afterwards, using it I did a Factory Reset.
Now, I have a newly installed hc and a working CWM. But, would you believe that the Downloading Mode is still stuck on loading. Do you think when we flash a new ROM that it will reset the reloading correctly?
I feel pretty proud of myself! I think I am ready for Jelly Bean...
How do I do that?
Sounds great. I've been running jb for quite a while, but frankly I'd wait for the ics. Runs just as good and it's stock. Never thought I'd say that until I tried it.

I have an i957 tab which is different than yours so I don't have an answer to your second question. To root your device see the stickies in the tab 8.9 development section it should be as easy as flashing a zip file thru your recovery. Make sure you get the right zip for your specific device though. Otherwise you can brick it. The biggest mistake people make its using a file for a similar device rather than one for their specific device.

Good work so far! Now you just need to download the rom (.zip file) and gapps (also a .zip) for the rom you want to use. Put those on the sd card of your tablet. To do this you may have to "mount external storage" in the cwm menus. Once you get those on there, do a full wipe, and then install the rom and gapps. That should do it for you.
To be honest, p7300 can only make calls via root and using cm9 custom rom. Will try to help you mate!! Sorry for late reply..
But just to make it easier, the 1st step is to use stock 2.3.6 that can be installed CWM 5, after getting that. You must download the custom cm9 rom and install into your internal memory(as i can recall all cm based rom will update your cwm 5 to 6 in the process). Will give you the link and try to resolve your probs!!
This is what you will need :-
Download Gt p7300 XEU stock 2.3.x ROM(search via filecorp)
Odin
Pits file
(all this is just in case that you need to flash it back to stock)
Will update my post in a short period of time!

Note to gulf educator: if your going to install a custom Rom, cm9 etc., you don't need to root first.

Hello, when y try to perform the point 7 of the following process:
Get RSD Lite 6.14 (recommended version) for Windows only.
Get the stock firmware file, make sure you pick the latest ICS firmware file here (7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml.zip) for AT&T.
After successfully downloaded, extract the zip file. And edit the 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml file using notepad, and then remove 2 lines with getvar.step operation=”getvar” var=”max-download-size”
Open RSD Lite, open the XML file that you have edited before.
Turn off your phone, and then enter the Boot Mode Selection Menu by press and hold the following keys together (Volume Up+Volume Down+Power). Using vol down, scroll to AP Fastboot menu, and then vol up to select it.
Connect Atrix HD to PC via USB, your phone will be recognized by RSD Lite as MB886.
Now it’s time to hit the Start button, and please wait for about 10-25 minutes.
Once the flash process done, your device will reboot. Your Motorola Atrix HD (MB886) should restore to stock and unroot now.
I disconnected the cable, and now I receive the following message:
RSDLite: Failed flashing process. 1/23 flash partion \\gpt_main0.bin – Phone returned FAIL.
ATRIX HD: downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT.
Each time that I turn on the equipment, I need to go to Fastboot menu and select normal boot.
Can you help me?

You made the same error I did. I tried to flash back to ics which it will not allow. From here you can either deal with the having to turn your phone off and volume up, down and power at the same time to booty your phone, or you can run the latest file that has been uploaded by the firmware team to get rid of it. Unfortunately this will put your phone to unrooted jelly bean with no real possibility of root at the moment.
The file name is MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip .
Good luck.

I forgot you need to edit the xml file and remove a couple lines. I don't have the file on this computer or else I would tell you exactly what they are. When you try to flash though it will say it fails on something like getvar just remove the lines that have getvar in it, there should only be two or three lines that need to be removed.

So this will fix the Atrix HD that starts into bootloader everytime? I just got a replacement through Asurion 3 days ago and I messed up and updated to Jelly Bean before I rooted it. Then the nightmare began. Couldn't figure out the AHD Utility that was supposed to fix this also.
It was suggested I call Asurion insurance in a couple weeks and tell them I lost the phone before I could send it back and switch motherboards from the broken LCD phone with Rooted Jelly Bean. But I think they'd be able to track the IMEI and punish me for keeping it.
Please help!!! I'm freaking out and I'm sick of this black blob in the center of my screen. Thankyou in advance.
Can't seem to get this too work either? It requires a password to unzip.

And you have AT&T version of the phone? Locked bootloader? Just wanting to double check because I want stock right now as I'm not taking advantage of root and don't want to brick. Someone tried this and bricked their phone because it was intended for Bell unlocked bootloader phones.

How did you get past the password on the .zip file to get the XML file?
Phone is OK

You cannot replace the XML file unless you have a password to unlock the ZIP file to access the XML file.
Where did you download your stock rom file at?
ZIp file pass

I tried all of em for AT&T and not of them will work. The release for the fix is the one that keeps requesting a password when I try to unzip the file.
Is it possible to downgrade the AT&T Atrix HD back to ICS to root? I can't find any solid facts, some places say yes, some say no, some say look around to see anyone else's issues. I don't know where to look. I can't find solid facts and would like an answer.
ReverseZero seems to be saying no, Winiwini seems to be saying no, I don't know what to do. I have the RSD and ICS .xml, but I don't want to risk a brick or anything.
Hey All!
I did not see any threads with these downloads/instructions so I figured I would start one up now with root around the corner!
This thread will be the go to thread for anything related to the Galaxy S6 Edge (VZW.) It will include stock ODIN tar files, debloat tools, firmware files and links to other tools that work with our device such as Flashfire or Multisystem once they are out. I will also be creating and developing my own ROM which will also be linked here (will also have it's own thread in the Android Development thread.)
Included in this first post will be instructions for various processes as well as any tools that are required for most functions such as ODIN, device drivers etc.
PS: I am currently downloading the stock tar file for OC3 for the Verizon S6 Edge and I will then upload it to AFH for others to have access to. I will also be creating a ROM from the TAR file so hopefully as soon as root is available and multisystem/flashfire I will post the process and we will have a ROM ready to roll!
Tools/Necessities:
1) Samsung Smart Switch (replaces KIES, use this to backup+restore data etc.)
2) Samsung Mobile Drivers
3) ODIN
ODIN Flashing Instructions:
1) Ensure drivers are installed and ODIN is installed
2) Download the .tar files you wish to use to the PC (If they are in .zip format, just unzip them to get to the .tar or .tar.md5 file/s inside.)
3) Backup all data using the PC if you need to (if flashing a full ODIN tar, it typically wipes the entire system on the device. If just flashing firmware only it typically does not wipe system but a backup is always recommended.)
4) From powered off device, hold the Home + Volume Down + Power button until the "Download Mode" screen appears
5) Once the screen is on, press Volume Up to enter Download Mode
6) Open ODIN on the PC and Press the AP slot and navigate to and select the .tar file you are going to be flashing
7) Connect the device after ODIN checks the .tar file and once the device is recognized press Start in ODIN. (DO NOT UNPLUG DEVICE DURING THE ODIN FLASH.)
Download links will be in Post 2!

Trying to reinstall firmware through Smart Switch.... messed up my system permissions by accident and now it is not booting past splash screen. I can handle it with ODIN, but in the meantime while downloading the .TAR I was messing around in Smart Switch and it gives an "Unsupported Device" message when i connect my Verizon S6 Edge.
Both Kies3 and the SmartSwitch.exe included in this post give same "Unsupported Device."
Anyone have any suggestions as to what PC client I am suppose to be using? Really just asking out of curiousity at this point.....ODIN files are almost done downloading.

its probably not recognizing it because partition/system is messed up..
i have the vzw s6 edge pit file if you need it but it is also in the full odin tar.. i recommend once you have everything up and running you use smartswitch to backup your phone.. it backed up everything imcluding my text messages for me so when i used it to retrieve the stock tar it restored everything right back!

Trying to Odin back to factory. I've got a 128GB edge. When I start the flash it hangs on "Partition". Do I need to check the "re-partition" button in Odin. If so, do the PIT files change between the different sizes of the phones?

its possible pit file is different.. what version odin you using? if 10 doesnt work try the 3.9 odin

I tried both odin 9 and 10 (same result). finally clicked the "re-partition" button in 10 and the reload took fine. i just checked the phone and it shows 128gb. currently going thru a restore, will post more info as i find it.
Have you tested the tar file in odin?

yes actually lol. few times trying to get my rom to flassh with flashfire.. apparently flashfire wont flash full rom.zips without a custom recovery (at least i cant figure it out.) other simple zips work however..
but i did use it at least 3 times lol. first time had a bit of trouble but if i select anything but auto reboot it would fail so only selecting auto reboot in odin it flashes for me each time

also to add, the tar file is the exact same tar that smart switch downloaded and is literally untouched.. it was already in the exact format and name and everything and i simply uploaded it without doing anything to it

The supplied tar file worked for me yesterday when I inadvertently removed a system file I shouldn't have after rooting.. Got me back to stock, re-rooted and I was good to go..
Used the Odin and tar files attached here without any problems.
Any way to quickly unRoot without ODIN flash stock TAR?
Anyone know how to just restore the system.img? As opposed to a full system wipe that is contained in this tar file? Folks have posted both "wipe" and "no wipe" versions from previous Galaxy SX versions.
thanks.

to my knowledge i do not think its possible to edit the tar file since we have a locked BL we xan only flash md5 verified tars...
the ones in past could have been an update.tar.. for example when we get a update can use smartswitch to download the update.tar which wont wipe because its an upgrade vs. a full odin recovery tar

You guys notice how many freakin Knox apks are in here? Both in system and priv-apps ... pretty crazy stuff. I've got a few small utilities in the works that I should have finished by the weekend (UI tweaks, etc) .. but I'll leave the ROM building to those more capable.
Still can't believe how quickly we got root... those poor souls with Note 4s have been waiting forever.

Quick question.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I see two versions floating around. In the ping pong thread, and on my device, I see G925VVRU1AOC3, and here I see G925VVZW1AOC3. Can you clarify this for me? Thanks.
