Guys i am selling my phone as i have my new s2. and the person needs stock rom so i was flashing 2.3.6 via odin but it is stuck on galaxy s animation.
I have repartition untick as the file is a single file and not 3. And i tried repartition tick but then it was unable to flash . After that i put a pit file downloaded from xda name **512.pit (i dont rmbr what ws b4 512)
I have tried formating via recovery and clear cache but no luck.
I have also tried format and then again flash but still no luck.
Currently i flashed another kernel via heimdall and dark knight which is ics based rom.
Now please tell me what to do.
I even tried flashing a f1 racing stock based rom via cwm but no luck.
PLease help me.
Thanx

[Q] Galaxy Ace stuck in reboot loop

My Galaxy Ace is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to flash 2.3.6 onto it, when it had 2.3.5 on it previously.
I've used ODIN and no matter what firmware I try to flash onto it, it just goes into a reboot loop.
Any idea how to fix it?
Did you try to do a wipe?

press down home button and then power on phone ...--> you will enter into recovery mode .
select wipe with help of volume keys and there you go out of bootloop
My Galaxy Ace is also in some sorta reboot loop.
Everything was working fine with it (phone is rooted and CWM installed) until I did a phone reset because I was giving the phone to my gf. After doing this the phone reboots, the blue samsung logo plays (without sound) and then repeats ad-infinitum. I can get into recovery mode and download mode ok and I've tried wipe and even restored a CWM backup (it says it was successful) but the phone just keeps rebooting. I can see the phone in odin but I've never tried to flash anything onto it and quite frankly I'm unsure whether it would just make things worse (if it needs to go back to Samsung for repair). Any help would be appreciated...
If you have cwm ..why dont you download some custom rom like cm7and flash it ..that would bring your phone back to life ...then you can downgrade to stock rom if you want ...and btw in cwm try cache partition , clear data /factory reset and clear dalvik cache ..see if it boots after you do this ..

when i always flash by odin or by cwm i always do wipe , wipe cache and wipe dalvik, this helps me everytime
I managed to flash a firmware from samfirmware and it fixed the reboot.
Now my issue is when I connect to Kies, it says there's an updated firmware for the phone but it fails every attempt to install it. I went back to samfirmware and found this firmware: S5830ZSKPD ## but when I download and extract it there's only 1 x MD5 file and 1 x DLL file?! The other firmware had the 4 or 5 files needed to include in Odin... any ideas guys?
I think its a "one package file " ..I forgot the correct name but there is some option like that in odin ..dont worry it contains all the required files ..and if you are scared to do it then go to you tube ..there are many tutorials showing it then...

Yep, that's exactly what it was, thanks again.
Unfortunately with this firmware, Kies doesn't recognise it and provides no info.
I flashed back to the older firmware... I'll just have to keep experimenting I guess.

many people says, don't upgrade the firmware with KIES.

Well I could flash it with Odin if I had the firmware but I don't.
It appears it's not available on SamFirmware.com
Do you know where I can download the following firmware?
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
Thanks
Lol I cant understand those firmwares ..can you tell me which version of android you want like 2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6 ...then ill be able to help you wanr

Thanks anyway but I managed to find the firmware online and flashed it using Odin.
Now Kies says I'm using the latest which is a good start : )
Now I just need to find a way to root my SGS2 GT-I9100T
U can try a custom ROM from the Developer's forums here.
I also once stucked in the Reboot Loop..............
But then I installed a custom or if you want features from a official Rom, you can install Stock Based custom ROm from the Developer forums of Galaxy Ace. Really good Rom have been made by the developers
In the chance that someone else is looking for this latest OEM firmware update:
PDA:KPD / PHONE:KPD / CSC:KPC (THL)
It can be downloaded from: http://translate.googleusercontent....flgljh&usg=ALkJrhiMpHV83dugh4RGwhKpyjIrYIgn2Q
It is in "one part file" format and can be flashed using Odin.
whatever may be the problem ......just rem to keep a backup of ur previously used rom and just flash it with cwm...
Progress?

For flashing Stock ROM use PC Odin. Not CWM..
try flashing with odin only the PIT file with repartition ticked
then reset file on odin
now factory setting shuld flashing o.k
post resaults
thanks for the reply, ive tried to flash the PIT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4" with & without checking the re-partition, after that the same thing when I try to flash the stock ROM (PC Odin) : fails to write factoryfs.img.
Just to make things clear when I flash a stock rom i load it in BOOTLOADER anwhen i flash the kernel only i load it in PDA
Please before flashing any ROM read all instruction mentioned in thread.
And if you flashing via PC Odin, Select .md5 file in PDA Tab. not in boot loader.
You shouldnt be putting anything in bootloader ideally....
Try and get a one file tar that you put into pda.

Thanks All for trying to help

really thank u all for the help, as I was doubting in my last post about the internal memory, i think the problem was from the first PTT file "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" but just know i was googlin on ptt files i found this file "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit" so after using this PTT with the re-partition checked i flashed the stock rom Successfully !!
Just to let you know how fool i was : my note counted 16 flashes :
still stuck in factoryfs.img
Hello.
I have Galaxy Note.
I used to have TeamRocket v1.5 installed and it would work ok.
I wanted to try a new OS so I tried to erase and wipe the data on the sd card. it took a long time so i thought it got stuck and i restarted my phone, since then I cannot use odin to install full roms.
what I am able to do is to install CF-root CWM5 kernel and after that to copy the AbyssNote v4.2 kernel zip and to install from that CWM. that will provide CWM version 5.8.1.5
I tried using Odin3 versions 1.87 and 1.85.
I tried installing on two different windows 7 computers.
i was able to install from these same computers these same roms before.
I tried install several versions of stock roms and the Chinese rom
examples:
N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_AUT
N7000XXLA3_N7000OXALA3_OXA
N7000XXLP1_N7000OXALP1_OXA
i tried installing versions that contain only the PDA
and versions with PDA,PHONE,CSC and UMS.
I tried using the Q1 pit file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
I also tried to re-partition the SD card using CWM but everything provides the same results. whenever I try to install any rom it stuck at factoryfs.img
it seems like if i'll find a stock rom that can be installed with cwm it would work, but i didn't find anything like that so far.
so no matter what I do i get the same results.
please help!
thanks

Have u flashed Angelom's Kernel V1.1 or V1.2?? or TRR V1.6??
just to confirm :
-is it stuck on factoryfs ? or u mean when it reaches factoryfs just terminating and giving FAIL in Red ?
updates
Hello.
Odin3 v1.87 doesn't terminate on factory.fs it just doesn't show any progress
anymore when it reaches factoryfs.img
I tries installing Angelom's Kernel v1.1 (I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK) but with same results. here it tries to install factoryfs.img first (not starting with cache like the stock roms) but the results are the same. no progress from there.
regarding trr 1.6. I assume you meant team rocker group. The latest version of their Rom for galaxy note that i could find is 1.5. and the docs on the forum says that it should be installed on top 1.4 and it should be installed on top of a the ICS rom. i don't have anything installed so I don't think just unpacking this rom with CWM while having a clean hard drive would work. (i may be wrong)
gonna try it anyways.. so I installed teamrocket v1.4 zip from external sd card using cwm recovery (install zip), wiped the data and restart.
welp it just shows the boot logo with a yellow triangle and that's it. does not work.
I resolved the issue by sending my phone to the cellular company. They fix it and I didn't need to pay anything. I was able to properly root my phone. Thanks

i can't flash any Rom!
Bricked
Mine if bricked. Nothing has worked. Question for you all. Bought this from a over seas company as I am in the United States. Was told that we would have to ship to Samsung in the UK. We went to the samsung.com/uk site and got the phone registered and it tells us to contact the service center. They will not accept the phone. We were honest with them and told them we would pay but after 5 calls between Samsung and Intercity the repair people they simply will not take the phone.
This is frustrating as I spent $750 bucks for a phone and can't even pay to get it fixed. I knew the risk of flashing but it's hard to believe it happened we've been doing it for yours. I'm not sure if my loyalty to Samsung will continue.

[Q] Flash from a MDT ROM to a Non MDT rom bootloop

Is there anything i can do? I've tried flashing the stock firmware via odin and it flashes fine, but hangs at the samsung logo, wipe of cache and factory reset dosen't help a bit. Im' able to flash the aopk rom without the bootloop. How is that possible?
When you flash stock, did you choose the pit file and repartition?

Newest AOKP is MTD now, hence the no bootloop. Odin the stock with the repartition and the pit file and youll be good.
its mtd, not mdt
please use the latest version of odin and the correct pit file
you will return to ext in no time

[Q] HELPPPPP please soft brick

Hey peeps iv got a big problem it happened yesterday with my Galaxy note GTn7000. I was on stock ICS LPT and was flashing new kernels through CWM when suddenly my phone just kept freezing on the Samsung screen when I start it up and it has been happening since yesterday. I think it was the speedmod ICS kernel that I flashed that made this happen. I flashed Abys kernel through odin and could get in to CWM. I did factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik/cache and then flashed checkrom which was on my SD card. Installation was fine but then it got stuck on the Galaxy note startup screen. I was searching for answers on the XDA forums and someone suggested that you flash a stock full wipe GB rom. So I tried to flash LC1 open Europe rom and was waiting for an hour the the rom to flash through ODIN which had only a bit left on the bar to flash and it didn’t flash it just froze. I tried 3 times and the same thing happened . I have used the USB jig to erase previous downloads and reset binary count. I flashed ICS LPT rom through odin and it flashed normally but when it starts up it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Any suggestions? I can get into download mode and CWM so it means Im in a softbrick. Do you think I should download an ICS rom and put it on to my SD card and then try flashing it ? Help would be appreciated thanks.
Here is the video of what happens. Basically i have waited for 4 hours yesterday and it just stays on the samsung screen
Hey, Id recommend you flashing back to GB via ODIN before we continue.
ICS still has a few bugs and that could interfere with getting you back up and running.
Hey thanks i will download a new GB stock rom, i cant post the video link because im a new member dang...

So you've extracted the original tar file, you don't need to, just point the original tar file to the pda section of pc odin, it will sort out each partition for you.

do i need to flash with some pit file coz of nand write?
Original pit file from Dr Ketan thread in Android original Dev section. But I would say change kernel using recovery mode and try flashing any custom rom again
My advice its before messing up your device.. Start fresh.. Flash GB stock with Odin.. And start from there
Tapatalking on my n7000
Done....downloaded a pit file and flashed it with stock rom...done....
now the problem is that though i flashed with odin with a pit file and i got to get the stock rom
but during flash odin showed Can't open the serial(COM) port two times and passed the flashing
now the mobile is too slow and hanging a lot....any solutions for this?
you should install a kernel with CWM and scan the emmc with HG42's partition scanners.
