Hi guys,
I have a rooted galaxy s advance, and everything just worked fine for half a year or so but suddenly it wouldn't start on anymore..
I was trying to reboot it but it stops when showing the samsung galaxy s advance logo..
I've tried everything for as far as i know, reboot, wipe cache, factory reset..
I have the stock rom jb 4.1.2 xxlqe (dutch) installed, no mods..
I don't know if and how it's possible to put a custom rom(or stock rom again) on it because i can only access it via download mode..
I've exhaustively searched for a clear how-to but it's really unclear to me how to do it..
I've searched for people with similar problems but never found a solution..
The how-to's i find are so elaborate, and in great numbers so a good one is hard to find, i don't know what to do..
Does it matter which country you are from, what version of stock rom you have, does a custom rom include side effects?
I really need a simple step-by-step guide, if anyone could refer me to one i would die for it..
I am desperate! :crying: Really really thanks in advance!
Sorry for using bad english, it isn't my native language..
You should flash a firmware compatible with your device using Odin, just search it here. You'll find.
I won't give you a step by step because it already exists.
Follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198341
And search your firmware on samsung-updayes.com

i have gt i9000 and its running froyo
i need to update it to GB without rooting it. when i connect to KIES it dznt shows the update.
can someone PLEASE help me out here?
thanks a lot
hi.
you don't need to root in order to upgrade, there is a way to upgrade through kies that involve registry editing, but is too messy and personally I haven't been able to make it work not even once! if you want you could try to do that, search in the forum kies registry editing or something like that..
the other way, and plain simple, is flash whatever gb rom you like through odin, go to samfirmware, sammobile (is the same, and you have to create an account) and download the one you like. there is a thread in the forum that also post the download links of the stock roms ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913&highlight=stock+rom) then flash it and that's it... after you finish flashing, the phone wont be rooted or anything..
there are plenty of tutorials on how to flash a rom through odin, and it really isn't complicated at all...
remember to backup all your info, even tough the info on the internal sdcard wont be erased.
and as always and as everybody in this forum, i'm not responsible for anything!
(if i'm wrong in anything feel free to correct me)
Thanks a lot m8!
hello there,
i had to do a factory reset, and whatever i try now i simply get a black screen after bootup and a message like "twlauncher stopped" ("twlauncher angehalten", german version) which i can just confirm, that's all.
tried this w/o any success: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1733184
does anyone have an idea what to do?
thanks in advance
S.
The thread you applied for is for SII., I beleieve you possess S-Note. First of all, the details of your device, such as GB or ICS, Stock or Custom Rom, and which kernel. The members could give you their expert advice only when they know full details of the problem. It is OK. Can you go to downloading mode? ie Volume down + Power buttons for 10 secs. if so flash a stock GB thru PC-Odin. Read relevant threads how to flash GB vis PC-Odin.
thanks for the quick answer, i feared that re-flashing might be the only way.
never did that before, but the howtos i saw did look pretty good
as of now i have stock rom, rooted on it.

flashing a GB rom thru PC-Odin is a detailed procedure. 1. download PC-odin and install it on your PC. 2. Select a Stock GB of your choice (may be your country). 3. check what setting to be there in PC-Odin etc. But all these details are available in the forum. dr.ketan guide in this forum is very usefull. before flashing, read everything, only when you are confident, do it.
Thanks for the hint, did as described in the "dr.ketan guide" using the german open stock rom and everything is back to normal again.
Hi all,
I've tried searching the forums but unfortunately my search did not turn up anything that specifically addressed how to tackle my problem. I'm generally quite bad with computers/phones/etc., and unfortunately my first attempt at rooting my phone didn't work out. My husband isn't good with phones either. It got stuck in a boot loop and I had to flash a factory firmware to recover the use of my phone, which took me a few hours to understand and perform. (All the data however was wiped, but thankfully I had backed my data up beforehand).
I am still interested in rooting my device, but am now afraid that I will screw it up again. I was hoping someone could please help me out as I do not want to permanently damage or lose all my phone's data again. Here are the details of my phone, please let me know what I need in order to root it. I will provide any other information necessary.
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000ZSJPG
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #5
Build number: FROYO.ZSJPG
Thank you for any help provided. I would really appreciate a step by step guide if possible, because I'm so inept at dealing with these matters, and unfortunately my husband isn't much help either. Thanks all.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I tried flashing to 2.3.6 using odin3v_1.7 but I got the same problem with a boot loop again! I have flashed back to the factory firmware again, and am back at square one. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for your reply though.

If you are still on 2.2 .1 just connect it to KIES http://www.4shared.com/file/rcHB94q3/Kies_23212064_10_1.html and let it update it for you..IF it works without any problems.
or else you may have failed to Format your SD card and factory reset before flashing using odin and also do a wipe after flashing in recovery mode.
or you may have ticked repartition in Odin? that cause the boot loop

Thank you very much everyone! I really appreciate all the suggestions, will try them all out later tonight and let you guys know how it worked out.
You guys are awesome. =)
If you want to root GB, any version, use superoneclick. Works great, but you wont have a custom recovery that can flash update.zips. Or you could just flash a rooted kernel via odin so you get cwm and other features such as bln, cpu scaling etc. Also if you want to go to ics, flash an ics kernel, boot into recovery flash any ics rom and your good to go.
Good Luck!
Hi,
Personally I flash a Darkyrom GB ROM (you can find it on his website). Best part about it is you dont need to be rooted to flash his ROM. Try searching for 10.2 RE JVU on his website. All you need is a .tar file and flash it via odin. I think TotallydubbeHD has a video tutorial on youtube as well.
Trust me, its safe. I have flashed it countless of times
Thank you so much everyone! It finally worked! Everyone has been such a great help, thank you so much everyone. <3
Hey guys I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI/3G (Model GT-P7300 I think).
I somehow managed to install Overcome ROM on it when I first got it. Now I want to give it to my Dad and I would like to revert everything back to factory default stock and all. I'm not sure what a Kernal is and not sure if I need to revert that too but probably.
How do I best go about this? I am having much difficulty understanding from googling and reading forum posts and I am not familiar with the acronyms and lingo the community uses. Would you be so kind to please explain to me step-by-step detailed as if I was a child lol
Please link me to everything I need to download!
Oh and another thing: I bought this tab in Asia so it has English and other Asian languages installed. Can I install a different language ROM for my Dad? (I think he prefers Swedish). Will it be locked to any providers or anything?
Thank you very much in advance. I really need help with this
Here's the stock unbranded firmware for Nordic countries
Here's the branded firmware for Telia (couldn't find any other carrier branded for Sweden
Then just flash using Odin, that will wipe everything though, but you'll be back to stock
I don't understand how to flash with Odin .. I don't even know what Odin is! Please give me super simple instructions
I downloaded the firmware file and I put it on my tablet's SD card. I rebooted into Recovery mode and I try to apply the update from the ZIP file. But it says it cannot Open it?! What am I doing wrong?
All is explained in this post here, that is stickied at the top of this section
overome is quite a standard rom with features that are not really seen... the look is stock... I don't see a reason to revert back...
Thanks guys, I successfully flashed with Odin and I think it was a success. You have been very helpful.
But I am still not sure if 100% everything is set to default stock in case of a future warranty claim. Is there anything else I should do? Do I need to install stock Recovery as well?
Thanks again.

If you used Odin and one of the stock firmwares then it should have flashed a stock recovery as well IIRC, I'm pretty sure Odin on these tabs does the whole kit and kaboodle when it flashed
Hello there, I'm just new to the forum and i'm here because I need your help!
Okey, let's start from the beginning.
I want to root my SIII mini ( GT I8190 ) because I saw a site that enumerates the benefits or good things that you can
access if you root your phone. So I searched and searched and found a guide. I followed all the instructions and ended bricking my phone or having a problem with the
firmware thingy thing that I cant explain because I am not smart as you guys are. So I almost messed up the whole thing but
luckily, I fixed it by, I dunno.. So let's continue, I tried and tried searching for how to root my phone and I found the one! But when
I went to recovery mode, I can see the logo, the whole logo but I think its stuck and I think it is because of the files that I flashed
from Odin ( which is 6 by the way, 6 files ), So I want them to be removed!!!
PPPPPPPLEASE HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!
THANK YOU!

download stock firmware and flash it with odin and to root your device download VRoot for me it is the easy way to root my device I'm new with s3 mini so I see that it is the easy way to root it
When you flash with odin you fully overwrite one or more partition on your phone, that means that you lost what was there, so "delete some files" wont change a thing...
It would be useful to know what you've flashed, but probably you just need to flash a stock firmware.
You can find a stock firmware at sammobile.com, just search for your model (exact model, fw is different for N/L/T variants) and region (if you live in europe any fw starting with I8190XX is ok. You may follow this guide for instructions and troubleshoting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660
Anyways there's a very easy way to root an s3 mini, just follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852

THANK YOU everybody for your help! THANKS!!
