[Q] Flashing 2.3.3 ROM with .Zip file - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed CM10.1, and now I want to re-install my mobile company ROM back (Orange / Partner - Israel).
I found download here:
http://hotfile.com/dl/178646361/163ea0f/Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9000_PTR_1_20111209152100.zip.html
But the file is a .Zip file.
How to flash it? from Odin (if yes, how)? from CWM?
Thanks.

Extract zip file. There might be a tar file to flash via odin

Have one .tar file and one .dll file.
how to flash it with Odin?

start odin - press reset
put tar file in PDA
put your phone in download mode (start phone with holding - vol down + home + power)
shut down kies and it's processess (if you have any)
connect to PC with USB cable (in odin you should see addedd!!) and hit start in odin.
and forget about dll file - you don't need it.
But if u're going back from cm10 you have to flash 3 file rom with pit and re-partition checked - there's a lot of tutorials on this forum

Thanks!

[Q] Update with Kies after Odin/Heimdall flash

Hey guys, I updated my Galaxy S [GT-i9000] today to 2.2.1 via Kies. I managed to grab the firmware files during the update. A .tar archive containing the .rfs files and also the packed binary which Kies 'decrypted' and uncompressed, generating the .tar. I'm thinking it's possible to add a simple setuid root shell/su/something like that inside this official firmware. I've read around here that it's possible to mount rfs files on Linux and this should allow me to put my root shell. My questions are:
1.Can I flash these modified .rfs files with Heimdall, Odin or anything like it ?
2.Can I perform Kies updates after I do this operation ? (Does it checksum the firmware or something ?)
Thanks.
bump ! bump !
Last year i saved firmware via Kies update .
Saved as JP5_JP3_U_JP3.tar
Installed via Odin
Open Odin
- make sure you UNTICK Re-Partition Checkbox (which is the default choice)
- Choose "s1_odin_20100803.pit" as PIT
- Choose " the tar file you saved as PDA
- PHONE Use MODEM.bin
- Leave CSC blank
- Start Phone in Download-Mode
- Connect Phone via USB
- "Start" Flash using odin
- Goto Recovery mode (see image at bottom) and do Factory Reset / Data Wipe
- Reboot, and wait for full start up. Unplug phone from USB.
- Close Odin.
problems with modem after flash remove modem from tar file then flash tar and modem .

[Q] HELP!!!

So, i rooted my original galaxy tab p1000 with odin3-v1.8, but when im in clockwork mod, and i want to install roms or WHATEVER thing i choose, i get an error similar to E: can't mount. Whether i try to clear cache or reset, it says this and i have no choice. It seems like a brick....ANYONE Help me, Much will be appreciated.
It seems like it was not rooted correctly. Did you run titanium backup after rooted?
Can u tell us what was the latest working firmware u had? FROYO,,GB? 2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.6?
Anyways, Follow these steps carefully to fix almost all kind of softbrick:
1a. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 on your computer from url]http://fus.nanzen.se/[/url] , start it up and and downloaded a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
1b. Download this pitfile from following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=631856&d=1308653969
1c. Download this dbdata from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=631856&d=1308653969
2. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and I got tar.md 5 file.
3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA
Put the pitfile from step 1b to the PIT
Check repartition. Leave everything else as is.
4. Go to download mode on the G-tab, connect to ur computer
and click start on Odin. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.Once done flashing it will reboot but mostlikely you still have problems with your tab.
5. on your Odin, put the dbdata file from step 1c to PDA, leave everything else as is.
Reboot your tab to download mode, connect to computer, and click start on Odin.
6. Once done, reboot to recovery mode, do a factory reset wipe, and data cache wipe.
Reboot again, wait for about 5 minutes for the tab to boot, you should be all set.
Thx

TY
Download any kernel zip you like, extract zimage, and tar it with 7-Zip.
extract zimage?
I need to zip the zimage as tar using 7zip yes?
I believe zimage file cannot be opeend using 7zip?
i toiok the zimage file from abysnote and zipped it in tar using 7zip.
After connecting phone in download mode to ODIN, and starting flash
ODIN gets stuck at <ID:004>zimage
Any help?
Question
- can i flash a whole ROM using ODIN? will this have a jernel accompanying it? or i have to flash both seperately? ( i want to flash criskelo's ICS rom - i am on liquidsmooth ICS now)

Guide to Extract Boot image file and flash via Odin Tool
First, download the preferred Samsung Stock ROM for your device model.
Extract the firmware zip file on your computer within a folder.
Now, the boot image file named as AP_xxx (similar kind of) file.
Recently, Samsung firmware files use a new compression type called .lz4 extension. You may see something like boot.img.lz4 file name.
Extract the boot.img.lz4 file via 7Zip to .tar extension and now you will see the boot.img.tar file. Download 7Zip - github (dot) com (slash) mcmilk (slash) 7-Zip-zstd (slash) releases
Now, open the Odin tool and connect your device to the PC via a USB cable.
Click on the ‘AP’ button and select the boot.img.tar file from your computer.
Click on the ‘Start’ button.
That’s it. Wait for flashing to complete and reboot your handset.
Hope this guide will be helpful to you. If you’re facing any issue, you can ask your queries in the comments below.

How To Guide How to root SM-X200

Hello guys. I failed several times rooting this device and finally managed to root.
You need to extract AP tar and then replace the boot.img with a magisk patched one.
You then need to re tar the file using 7zip and flash as normal.
AP CSC HOME CSC and BL
If there's enough demand I'll write a proper guide. Also if soft bricked you need to press both volume buttons and plug in usb at right point on restart.

Thanks @jameswalker457
Which one did you use CSC_HOME or CSC?
When I run with CSC, I get a 'fail' in ODIN However, it does run with CSC_HOME, BL and the patched AP - but it doesn't actually root the device.
Greatful for your help.
Thanks
Used BL AP (with patched boot.img) CSC and HOME_CSC in the userdata

SM-X200 root failed...
It's now a bricked tablet after a boot loop, I think should wait to magisk get an update. It won't power on or charge I think. I have two days trying to power on in several times and many key conbinations. No Samsung logo or something. Can I do...

The best way to root samsung tab a8 2021 pls
Android 11 I got fast as f boot loop solution below btw An 4 gamers I got fps/ping boost solution below to
forum.xda-developers.com
I still do not have root. What I did:
1. unlocked bootloader
2. install magisk manager 24.3
3. Download X200XXU1AVC1 from Samfw
4. unzip the firmware
5. Untar the AP tar file
6. Extract boot.img, send to device, and patch with magisk 24.3. Patched boot is magisk_patched-24300-9Iez2.img
7. Replace boot.img with the newly patched one (renamed to boot.img)
8. Create a tar file from the AP folder using
" tar -C AP_folder -cvf AP_patched.tar ."
9. "adb reboot bootloader" to download mode
10. open Odin v3.14.1 and add BL, HOME_CSC, and the AP_patched.tar
9. Flash via Odin, exit download mode, enter stock recovery, factory reset
For some reason I can't get from download mode to recovery w/o first booting the fresh android.
No boot loop, but no root either.
These are the file names I got from Samfw:
AP_X200XXU1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49828201_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS11.tar.md5
BL_X200XXU1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49828201_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_XAR_X200XAR1AVC1_CL23784803_QB49838021_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
The md5sum of the files:
AP stock: fa97e5cee1deaf26175b27d26df94266
AP patched: 006b12f713fc3caa127bc5cba01ae4b9
BL: 2172ca468462a46917d78e94157aed54
HOME_CSC: 5ede57b9ffe8059f3166dd5de6ef8721
The tar file worried me. It had file names like ./boot.img instead of boot.img. So I created a new file, with the patched boot.img, this way:
cd AP_folder
tar -cvf ../AP_patched.tar *
Then flashed that. Took longer than the previous tar.
On reboot, it asks me to press PWR to accept boot loader unlocked. Then a splash screen saying: unapproved software, then a few boot loops.
I got to recovery, factory reset, the tablet does the LONG boot, does the initial setup thing.
Install Magisk Manager, and root! Google Play still works.
Whoopee! I can now wait for a working TWRP.

That is because a .tar.md5 is a tar file with an md5 concatenated to it.
> use the 7zip again to create the .tar the file does not
The proper tool to create .tar files is "tar".

Care to be more specific on how you did that?

What firmware version worked, and which failed?
X200XXU1AVC1 worked for me.
Yes, X205XXU1AVC1 works.
No luck with latest X205XXS1AVE1 (May Patch).

Not sure if this helps but i read an article that says you should patch the whole AP tar file rather than extract just the boot.img. Maybe because it patches the recovery and super etc img files too? I havet tried this yet as I cant even get my bootloader unlocked

OK, I've un-tarred the AP tar.md5 and patched the old boot-img file on the device, renamed it and replaced the original boot.img in the AP "folder".
Steps 8 & 9 are a little confusing for me, if you could expand on those. Can I use 7zip to re-tar? Those look like DOS commands in step 8.

I'm guessing those are Linux commands?
In any event, I made 7zip re-tar the AP folder with the patched boot.img, but it ends in .tar.tar
Is this an issue, or should/can it be renamed .tar.md5 like the original?

I do them on Linux, but they can also work on WinBlows. Since I do not use M$ products, I can only say I've seen those commands work on WinBlows, but can't say how to set that up.
I also can't help you with 7zip, it can run on Linux, but never use it myself.
People have problems when they don't use "real" tar, so don't. Save yourself the pain.
You do not need to convert the .tar to a .tar.md5. Odin will use either file type. A .tar.md5 file is a .tar file with its md5 hash appended. Odin can use the file to verify the .tar integrity, but that is optional.
