No download mode, only recovery - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I installed the Omega kernel for JB.
I was trying to edit the build.prop.
But i got a black screen.
Now only the recovery will boot but the download mode dont and the os not either.
Is my phone now bricked?
Hard or Soft?
PLEASE HELP ME.

Hard brick would be if your phone doesn't turn on neither on download mode as recovery, soft brick could be a bootloop, well, soft, try changing kernel, or r

I know, but now i got no download mode anymore.
As you can see, odin detects something... But nothing happens.
Is it possible to flash the kernel trought a ZIP file?
But i dont understand why my download mode is gone..
Please somebody help me.

This can be done in Terminal emulator app, but be carefull what you type there! This is only custom JB kernel for now. And you can backup your old one, you have explanation there.
Or via adb shell: How to setup it.

"I was trying to edit the build.prop." What exacly did you do? When you lose your internal and external memory.

I just added the 2 lines of my own post and then the phone wont boot anymore.
(i dont add a last empty line.. and dont created a build.prop.bak file)
Then i removed the build.prop file and nothing changed.. No OS, no Downloadmode...

You have a little hope. Do this!
1. Some user posted a temporary workaround to get my temporary cwm working. Do that.
2. Request someone to upload the /system folder in a flashable zip package. Use the update binary and update script from jetmod.
3. Flash this zip via cwm. Then flash the omegax kernel.

He have system dump here. Just to make flashable zip.
So he can use JetMOD.zip - just to remove kernel, busybox and to replace system folder content with this content?

After I installed custom shaaan kernel via terminal emulator , I did not have download mode. I did factory reset in stock recovery, reboot and again factory reset, reboot. The second time, I regained download mode. Maybe work ...

then its the safest method

Device semi-bricked no way to rom zips to sdcard

Hi,
I was attempting to update my P7310 to ICS and have flashed CWM 5.0.2.6 I then attempted to flash the alpha2 ICS release but it started flashing and then the device rebooted. I was able to boot back into recovery but it seems that the whole device fileystem is empty / screwed.
I have tried adb push of a file to /sdcard/ but it fails:
$ ./adb.exe push p5wifi_galaxian-soup-a2.zip /sdcard/wifi.zip
failed to copy 'p5wifi_galaxian-soup-a2.zip' to '/sdcard/wifi.zip': Not a directory
Is there any way of getting a new rom zip onto the device so that I can then update again through CWM "apply update from sdcard". Can I apply update from any other way?
I can push the file to the device root:
$ ./adb.exe push p5wifi_galaxian-soup-a2.zip /wifi.zip
1307 KB/s (96366459 bytes in 71.999s)
I can't run adb shell to do stuff either:
$ ./adb.exe shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Can I flash something that works through ODIN which still talks to the device..?
Im stuck and have ran out of ideas..any help appreciated

You're telling adb to push the file into a zip? Anyways, ADB sadly does not work in our CWM (nor USB mounting as you might have noticed), so the only way you can restore functionality and start again (no erasure of your SDcard contents so don't worry) is to use ODIN back to stock. From there, start again. It could be your download was corrupted (download again), because I could flash it fine, but eventually went back to KJ5 for functionality.
Edit: Check my guide below for ODIN FAQ and how-to if necessary.

Edit: Sent you a PM.
was there a resolution to this issue? i have the same exact problem as the OP.
However, I cannot restore back to stock with ODIN. when writing my system.img.md5 my restore fails.
I know my devices can be fixed! i just have not found my answer yet.
you need to copy the CWM flashable rom into the sdcard:
1st: Install CWM using Odin
2nd: enter CWM and go to "Mount" and mount /system (this will enable the shell)
3rd: now you can use "adb shell" and "adb push" to push your rom into the sdcard.
I remember this thing happened to me once, that the /sdcard directory was not found, but I don't remember how I solved it.
How about this.?
adb push files\your_files /data/media/.
Before that, please mount your /data partition..
Why? Because /data/media/... have the same content with /sdcard/...
Just check it, and tell me if it works...

Ok, so i'll let you know what my whole problem is. I am not starting a thread yet, because i believe the problem is the same.
I wanted to install overcome's rom on a United States, Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi Only. I rooted my devices just fine. The instructions with pictures told me to use ODIN to flash the modified version of CWM. now, in the picture i saw a pit file being used. it was called "android_fastboot_emmc_full_p4_16G_32G.pit". I found the file and I left 'Re-Partition' checked per the picture.
After this, I had no CWM, only downloading mode. I used ODIN to reflash the P7310XXKJ4. I put that in PDA. unchecked re-partition. it failed at writing system.img.md5
stock normal recovery was back, but i had no access to the sdcard, data, or anything else.
I then used ODIN (no more pit files anymore and no more re-partition) to flash the overcome CWM. WORKED.
So now i have access to CWM, but it cannot mount sdcard, data, nothing.
I purchased the sdcard kit so i could see if i could load up a ROM on an external SDcard and flash from there. NO DICE.
I refuse to believe this is over! but I am begging for someone's help.
Tonight, I am going to uninstall the drivers i have on win7. reinstall a fresh copy of KJ4. and see if that works.
I am open to ANY suggestions. I see that others are experiencing this problem, but there is no readily available solution.

The thing is, none of the ODIN images (at least the 7310 ones I've seen) have this .pit file since it is not needed at all. The CWM available is just for wiping and flashing. I'm afraid adb does not work. I heard of a Recovery in the CM9 kang thread over at the Development section in which adb works if that's what you want. There are some ODIN links in my guide and all you need to do with the downloaded file is putting the biggest (and only) file in PDA, make sure "F. Reset Time" is clicked and forget about Repartitioning (it is NOT needed in this tab).

I have done this. when i re-flash the odin stock image, i get stuck at the restoration of system.img.md5.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the samsung usb drivers and installed the latest. i've tried different usb ports. i am truly at a loss.
i installed an odin flashable version of CWM 5.0.2.6 (? i think thats the version), but adb was not available on that.
Does adb work on the stock recovery? Do you know where i can find this CM9 Kang thread? do you know if their version of CWM in flashable via Odin? that's the only way i can push anything onto the tablet as of right now.
btw... if i restart the tab unconnected to any USB cables, I get a message saying to reconnect to Kies and perform a recovery. IMHO kies is useless.
I am still stuck. I am open to literally anything not physically harmful to my tab.
Is nvflash an option for fixing this? I've never used it before, but if it can help I would be down.

If i push files, they look as tho they are transferring, but i think they are not really making their way their on to the device.
After doing a little prying today at work, I found a .pit file. I read that this contains the partition information for drive.
I downloaded the stock 3.1 image, extracted it, and i found a P5.pit. Perhaps, I can use that PIT file, while keeping Re-Partition checked, and reflash the overcome CWM?
I know others have run into my exact problem and fixed it. there's gottttta be a way.
i will keep posting my progress and/or reading for others' suggestions.
When trying to flash KJ4 , i get the following:

I believe the PIT file you flashed earlier did something to the partition table. I really don't know where did you find that PIT file . I think I saw a PIT file from an Asian ROM for our tabs months ago, but it's not on XDA. Gonna look for it.
EDIT: Found it here. Attached is the PIT file so you don't have to download the whole package (just unzip the file and there it is). I know it is for the 7300 but I don't think partitions are so different between the two models. Try it with your preferred ODIN image and see if it solves the issue.

ehh, so i tried it without re-partition. didn't work. still cannot mount /sdcard.
tried it with repartition checked with clockwork 5.0.2.6 and I'm stuck at the "choose download mode or recovery mode" screen. if i select recovery, the screen blinks.
TO FIX THIS: I can use odin 1.85 to flash KJ4. however, this will fail at system.img.md5. However, stock recovery will be bootable. stock recovery will give me errors saying most of my partitions cannot mount.
I then can use odin to flash clockwork 5.0.2.6 and enter recovery.
the partitions are still botched if i go that route.
OK. so... i don't know what fixed it, but here's how things went down.
i stumbled across this website: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...14:samsung-flashes&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82
i downloaded the stock odin flashable version of 3.1. i was able to use the stock 3.1 (even tho it said 32G) to get a working copy of android back on.
3.2 just would not work. however, 3.1 seemed to fix the problem of the partitions. then i flashed 3.2 right on top of it right away.
after that, i used odin to flash overcome's recovery and NANDROID!
now, i'm about to run overcome 3.2.
nirogu325, do you develop at all? I think you're up for a donation. thank you for all your help.
Glad to hear you fixed your issue, thought I'd add a few side notes as I had the same problem as you pretty much but fixed it at 3am and went straight to bed and was gonna post this morning.
For my situation I was doing it all on a lenovo T500 so for any1 using one flash with the usb port closest to you, in win 7 there seems to be a difference in this port possibly being the only port with always on charge feature, the drivers handle this port differently.
Install or reinstall drivers with the tab unplugged and only plug it in once your already in download mode.
I used the same pit file posted on the previous page and used the stock 3.1 pda, no csc or modem or bootloader files, would still hang wen other files were included. Re-partition checked. Only use pit file once, later flashes shouldn't require it as you've just rectified you partition table.
Once you got 3.1 on there then continue the 3.2 flashes as you wish and hopefully no more problems.
All done trough odin and please people take your time with these steps, the rom should only take 2-3 mins and if it pauses for more than 1:30, its hung, just press and hold power button leaving everything plugged in and odin open and go straight back into download mode and try again.
I've done this several more times with 8 more roms and havent had an issue with any (all morning). I've broken it on purpose then gone through these steps so that the information is as functional as I can make it.
I know its querky but hopefully this saves someone the anguish we went through.

Hello my honorable SGT colleagues, I managed to roll back from Overcome P7300 v2.3.0 to the Russian v3.1 stock ROM (PDA/CSC/PHONE) flashing it by Odin 1.85 together with p5_0614 PIT mapping table file kindly provided above by Nirogy325, however in my case in attempt to fix modem firmware. All operations including ROM re-partitioning went absolutely smoothly! However to my regret, this has not fix my problem – every ROM (either stock and custom) I used to try do not flash PHONE firmware properly, with basedband version always indicated as “unknown” in the system properties and GSM/CDMA modem not operable… this malfunction happened after Google map app inadvertently hanged up and I tried to shut down the tablet.. does anybody have a clue what happened with the damned tablet and what might be possible cure? Will be extremely grateful for any advice
Thank you!
Thanks wyatt23 & nirogu325. I had this exact problem and downloaded 7-8 pit files that weren't working until I found this. I was about to get a baseball bat and go Office Space on the tablet. It's working fine now and will get a custom mod as soon as it charges.

Check your root status - try to paste a file into /system folder.
If you cannot do it, you don't have full root. Go back to GB using
PC Odin.

How to install OTA files?

On sammobile these days a few OTA files are available, one like this. Can anybody help how to use this .zip file. The contents of the file are,
1. debug_info (1KB)
2. delta.hidden (856KB)
3. delta.modem (1KB)
4. delta.platform (78396KB)
5. delta.Sbl (1280KB
6. delta.ua (241KB)
7. delta.zImage (4855KB)
FYI these files are not Recovery or CWM flashables.
Above file is an update of firmware to N7000DDLR8 from the previous firmware DDLR6 for indian GalaxyNote. As one can see it includes the firmware files, so be assured that it can be installed. But How???

you can try to rename the file to update.zip and then choose update from recovery. Dont know if this will help but its worth a try.
It gives a signature verification error not sure just renaming it to update.zip would fix it!

But already tried, stock recovery gives signature verification error.

You should be on complete stock ROM
non rooted and on unsafe kernel then may it work, and thats is the point to be concern. This work with unsafe kernel as well update also contains unsafe kernel, so anything lead to messing your device, that will be risky to wipe anything. and in this situation you have to first flash safe kernel.
Mobile odin pro added support for flashing OTA files, but unfortunately didn't recognise OTA files which available for india. (this fuction in mobile odin is still on experiments)
struggling to get the same working , but in vain ...
Please tell me i download the bin file from the following site. how i install this

using this method:
All Credits to tracid
1. Copy all files from the archive to /cache/fota/ or /data/fota if you have bigger ota
/cache folder is only 192 MB
use root explorer
2. from adb shell:
su
chmod -R 0777 /cache (optional)
echo -n "--install_fota" > /cache/recovery/command
exit
adb reboot recovery
doc.. i tried that last time with the DDLR9 update and i was stuck in boot loop.
Really I didn't tried yet, it was said by tracid somewhere.

try putting the recovery.img in the root directly of your sdcard (the main directory of the sdcard) and see if it finds the file.
EDIT: found this tutorial

The file is already inside /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard (both are same)

I think tutorial will work if u have an existing CWM recovery

Based on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493

[RECOVERY][CWM]CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5 for Samsung Galaxy Trend Lite S7390

Hi! I've founded and successfully installed CWM on S7390. All credits goes to @trivalent for compiling CWM for S7392. Because of the same processor on both devices, we can run that same CWM also for our devices
INSTALLING:
Code:
1. Download the attachment.
2. Extract it. You will get a .tar.md5 package
3. Start your device into ODIN mode by pressing VolDown + HOME + POWER button on your Galaxy Trend S7392.
4. Run ODIN and connect your device to your PC using USB cable.
5. Browse for the .tar.md5 file from "PDA" section. Select the recently extracted .tar.md5 package.
6. Flash it.
