[Q] Please help me - ICS TO GB - DO NOT WANT TO BRICKS :(

I know that this is probably another post in a series of desperate to get back to ICS for GB, but please understand me, I did not want to get my phone is a brick
I used the CheckROM NoteHD ™ V6. I tried to go to Criskelo LPY V3's ICS ICS. I restarted my phone into recovery and I flash: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip
Then I reboot and recovery (the recovery RedTouch) I did factory reset, wipe and wipe cahce Dalvik cache and then and flash Criskelo LPY V3's ICS ICS. When the flash ended (I did not have any information about errors) successfully I restarted my phone. My phone Restarted a few times and finally started to Criskelo's ICS ICS LPY V3.
But I wanted to return to the previous rom. Perhaps I did wrong, but I restarted my phone into recovery and I tried to flash again: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip (I thought that this way I can upload my copy of the rom GB) .... but after the approval of the progress bar stops, and after about two minutes, the phone reboots again it's ICS ICS Criskelo LPY V3
Just notice another problem, not sure if it is when I tried binary updating SU.

Screen was made by another user, but for me it is exactly the same.
Everything indicates that I have root - titanium works and I can copy and delete any file in the system
Now the question:
How should I go back to GB (whether it is better not to do it?). Please help me what should I do step by step?

Don't panic mate!
Go into Recovery
Flash abyss 4.2 or Franco 10
FULL WIPE (factory reset,cache,davnik cache)
Restore backup or even better Flash a clean GB ROM
Edit: of course you can use PC Odin in download mode and flash a pre-rooted GB From.

but if I restarted my phone into recovery and I tried to flash again: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip after the approval of the progress bar stops, and after about two minutes, the phone reboots again it's ICS ICS Criskelo LPY V3.... maybe it is wrong way

Its not the "wrong way".Flash a clean Rom now,not your backup. Maybe your backup file is corrupted. If you want try Pc-Odin as I said before. Your choice...
Anyway, hope you'll figure it out.

not because the flash: AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo.zip is not succesfully -> my phone freezes during this operation, and then restarts

I sincerely fear you may have the dreaded Superbrick mate. All the symptoms are there.

He can still ODIN, right? I haven't read where he said he can't access download mode. He was just trying to do stuff in recovery. Can we confirm you can not access download mode either?

Okay cool, that's fairly good news because if you CAN enter download mode you are not bricked and you can ODIN a pre-rooted GB rom or a stock GB rom. If your phone will charge, let it charge up and then ODIN away.

Try repartitioning the device. To do so use simply set the right pit file in odin.

How to flash P1000 with a 1 file firmware?

I just downloaded an asian firmware P1000DXJPJ_P1000OLBJPI_XSP.zip. In this zip theres only 2 files:
P1000DXJPJ_P1000OLBJPI_P1000DXJPE_HOME.tar.md5
SS_DL.dll
Theres plenty of guides out there but all of them are using separate files. I found some separate files but doesnt have the language that I wanted. Only this firmware I downloaded got what I need but then its in a single file. So can anyone guide me how do I flash this firmware into my P1000?
Thanks in advance.

You can ignore that dll, I see that too after extracting the zip file. Flash only the md5. There are actually lot of instructions here on how to flash, via odin. Just check it out but just make sure you have the right firmware else you'll be having trouble.

Well yea... theres plenty of guides how to flash with odin. But problem is I never seen any guide that show you how to flash a single file with odin to a p1000. Probably I didnt search enough but I really did searched alot and I came up with nothing.

You'll need the PIT file for the PIT section, the .md5 under PDA, and a carrier-specific modem .bin for modem (if you know you need it anyway).

Yes... Most guide showing that you need afew md5 files, PDA, modem etc etc... but the file that I have is just only 1 file. I have downloaded afew diff firmware but all only 1 HOME file. How do I flash it with Odin onto the phone?

The pit file is kinda all the same (correct me if I'm wrong) so you can download it anywhere. Then the md5 file. That two was all I need to return to stock/and upgrade to Gingerbread. I left the PHONE field blank.

Is this a solution or what? If you wanna help please make it clear what to do. I got all the pit and ops files. My main question is how to you flash a single file? what version of odin used? pit or ops? Under which section should I put the 1 file for flashing?

Odin 1.7 is good for SGT7
If you are coming from common GB ROM that has no modified partition, you don't need a pit file. (Assuming you are not running MTD version of ICS now)
If you have a working modem, again, no need to flash a modem file.
So, do like what espionage724
but no need to put pit and modem file, don't tick "re-partiton".
Now, if you are from MTD ROM, then you need all like what espionage724 has there.

I have tried using gt-p1000_mr.pit and s1_odin_20100803.pit, non worked. All failed.
Please bare with me here. Im not sure what m I doing now LMAO!

GB is Gingerbread (Android 2.3)
ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
MTD and non MTD refers to the partition table. ICS ROMs (CM9 and AOKP just to name a few), after April 2012, uses open standard partition table called MTD. To return to stock Samsung (non MTD alias BML) partition table, a pit file is a must, repartition checked.
First, don't just stick any pit file not made for your device. It will brick your device.
(what is that s1_odin_20100803.pit, don't tell me it is Galaxy S pit file... because I don't know what is it going to do with your tab internal memory)
BTW, why do you want to specifically flash this ROM file you have?
Have you tried Overcome GB-Stock-Safe-v5 from Overcome guide?
Go to overcome site
http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.

I have tried the Overcome way but failed.

Changed PIT file and ODIN version. Solved
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

yeah, setup connection seems to be caused by wrong Odin version. PIT I don't know.
That is why I recommend GB-stock-safe-v5 overcome's way.
It has everything of the correct version.
Easy.
Next time, just a suggestion, when jumping to a thread, at least try what was said in that thread.

Use the latest version of odin

Simply put the home.tar.md5 file in pda box and flash and reply if it works for you, for me it worked

May i ask if your tab is on its download mode?
Just a noob question.
Can you use your tab normally b4 flashing?
I normally just follow overcome instruction and always a 100% success.
Can you extract the md5 file using rar extractor.(normally i can)
Try downloading the md5 file again,(if not)

Maybe you could try talking to @Sunderwear, he seems like he figured out a way to fix the IMEI on other firmwares.

Didn't work for me either. only way i got it to work was extract the ML2 modules from the stock firmware and flash them to my custom rom. I then Manually added the APN to match what was on my stock rom.

On custom ROM's you need modules as I posted in my custom ROM guide...

I can't flash modem.bin - it fails the security check for me.
Any ideas?

I said to flash only ML2 on ML2.
Anyway. I checked today and it worked. I needed it because as soon as I updated to 4.4 my signal dissappeared.
I flashed the ML2 one and it worked.

Why did you rename it?
Just keep it modem.bin
If that doesn't work update your BL by downloading ML2 Odin and only flash BL. I that isn't it it is because it disconnects from your computer. Try a different cable.

I guess the problem might be with the driver of the phone as i can see you have 2 phones connected or maybe phone's driver isn't well downloaded
1.unplugged all the other things that seems connected
2. Unistall phone's driver
3. Reinstall it from the samsung site
4. Make sure you put the phone in recovery mode
5. Try again

I flash stock ML2 (all four files) - all successfully without any errors.
Phone returned to customer with damaged empty IMEI and I can't post any proof.
Seems to be that modem IC physically damaged.

Are you sure from recovery? I flash it from download mode (vol down + home + poweron).

[Help] Samsung Galaxy S4 5.0.1 SGH-I337 won't reboot properly

This is my first post so I'm sorry if I did not post this in the right place or didn't do something else regular-place to these forums. Please guide me in the right direction if I didn't. So I rooted my phone with Kinguser and then switched it to SuperSu pro using the in-app instructions ins SuperSu. My goal is to install Xposed onto my phone but part of the problem is that I have to boot and manual recovery with TWRP or something similar for Xposed to work on my S4 (specifications above). But every manual recovery app I download works up to the point I actually try to reboot. All of them can find my root access and say they install successfully, but when I hit reboot and recovery, it always goes into Odin mode (and in the top left corner of Odin mode it says cannot reboot normally). I can get out of Odin mode easily so the problem isn't that I'm stuck there. I just want to know how to proceed with reboot and recovery when every time I try it goes into Odin mode.

Easiest way is to go into download mode(Odin mode) and flash TWRP via Odin. In Odin make sure to uncheck reboot and f. reset once TWRP is flash unplug and pull the battery and reboot directly to recovery (power & volume+) once you get into TWRP it'll stay after that. Then just reboot your phone normally. Also within TWRP you can flash SuperSU.

Thanks for the response!! I found the twrp file on their website (one which is a .md5 and one which is a .img which both don't work). They would both just freeze in Odin. So I found a tool online that turns .img files to .tar file. Link to tool below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
with another thread that helped to fix the runme.bat file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42511844#post42511844
and that helped make a .tar file which doesn't freeze up Odin, but when I run the .tar file made from that tool, the manual flash using Odin runs through and fails. the Odin prompt is shown below.

Pretty much everything. I would not trust converting files like that. High potential for bricking your device.
The link I gave you is a .tar file that Odin likes. The md5 is at the top, yes, but you need the tar file just a little further down.
I linked you the latest one that is .tar. Newer versions are in .img that can be flashed in recovery.

I downloaded the .tar file you linked above and tried it and it still failed. So to be descriptive as possible the first thing I do is plug my phone (without twrp installed) into my pc. Then I turn it off. Then I try to reboot. Phone can't reboot and forwards directly to Odin mode. I download the .tar file you linked me above. I do not unzip the file. I have Odin3 v3.07 installed. I open Odin and uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. I click on PDA and select the unzipped zip file for flash. Nothing is said in the message display after that and is still at.

Thanks so much for all the help!! After that linked I found a bunch of conversations that helped. If you every help out with someone with the same specifications on their phone then I had there's not much I can say that can help as far as Lollipop goes. I could not find a way to get Xposed on my device as is. But if anyone really does want it, I found that if you find the right .PIT file and the stock ROM for a previous version of Android (I tried a few which all work, but I would suggest KitKat because why not) then you'll be able to do anything you want without all the heartache. After I used Odin to flash KitKat onto my device, I found that I didn't even need TWRP, Xposed installed quite nicely, and even though the layout doesn't look quite as nice as Lollipop, you can find a bunch of display modules in Xposed that fit the bill quite well.
All in all, Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 5.0.1 and want Xposed?? You're screwed. Flash KitKat.

Probably different firmware regions. Cache.img will be a different size.
Unpack the tar file with 7zip, remove the cache.img and then repack the rest of the files to tar with 7zip.

Open Developer Mode
Enter Developer Options
Find OEM unlock and tick enable.
Try upgrade again.

Maybe it's not working because your device is A510FD, from what i see in your baseband, and you try to flash A510F. In download mode what device name is showing? Also download latest samsung drivers, try with another odin version, another usb, another pc and so on.. Report here.

When the flash fails reboot the phone again in download an reconnect it to pc. Open tar.md5 file with 7zip, pull cache.img, add the image previously pulled into a .tar archive and flash it in AP tab. Reboot into stock recovery, wipe data, reboot and profit. Cheers!
Edit: at each flash uncheck "Autoreboot" in odin and reboot it manually.

I think you mean wipe CACHE. Wipe DATA will factory reset the device and wipe all personal files.

To avoid issues or bootloops is better to wipe data, and since he's playing with odin and several fw files with God knows what android version, he knows the risks. So i meant what i said.

He doesn't need to wipe DATA.
Samsung official upgrades don't usually require wiping DATA.
If it doesn't boot or there are issues afterwards then wiping DATA may fix it, but there is no need otherwise.

i think is wrong rom
