[Q] bricked galaxy s? which firmware

Hi,
I've got here a bricked galaxy s from a friend of my. he tried to root the galaxy s without knowing how.
But the problem is.. I don't know which firmware he had. So i don't know which .tar file i need for odin3 to restore.
Can i track somehow the firmware? its an europe version with 2.2 he said. Or is there an other way to restore this phone?
When i startup the phone it hangs at the galaxy s logo. I can enter download mode

Use Sammobile.com
You'll need to make a login first and then just follow the click to the files..
There are also stock packages in the general section such as cf-root, to gain root access. And there are other stock firmware threads there.
Try only flashing the code.tar file, I think that's where the kernal is but best to confirm that somewhere. Otherwise just flash the whole stock package.

i bricked my galaxy and i recomand a stock package and from that you can root and you can change to a custom rom if he wants that...

can you be more specific how to get the right firmware? Do i need to go to SAMFIT? or SAMSUNG LETTER CODE? i have no idea how to find it

Ok, sorry i thought Sammobile.com had complete instructions on how to find the firmware for you like it used to, but I haven't used it in a while..
I don't remember what all those codes mean and tbh it doesn't matter too much. The main thing is to find your CSC code. This will be the factor that would usually cause problems (actually annoyances) if incorrect, e.g. SMS messages not being received with the correct time and date.
Here, Ramad a very respected member of the community has made a collection of firmware generally with multi-CSC's. You can use these downloads or really any of the other downloads from sammobile (link to the Europe section). It doesn't matter much if he doesn't get the correct firmware because they are all available in Europe.
Find your CSC from Samfit samsung letter code. They are the 3-letter codes nearing the bottom. Press " Ctrl + F " and then type in your country. This will highlight your country on the page. Look to see if your carrier has a specific code, if it does then remember is and look at Ramad's list.
Go down to the 2.2 or 2.2.1 section and again " Ctrl + F " and type in the CSC. Look for the firmware that has it listed. Download that firmware and flash using the instructions at the top of Ramad's thread or using the pdf that you can download from sammobile. Generally the latest build date is best to download. But if you don't it doesn't matter because you will be using stock you can plug it into Kies and it will update it for you.
To check your CSC the long way (I cannot remember the short way ) type in *#272*(your imei)#
This will display your current imei and allow you to change it. Changing it to the one you want will factory reset your phone so be ready.
If i have left anything out or you have any more questions then let me know...
Hope all goes well

Oke. I really bricked the phone now i guess.
If i turn on power.. it doesnt do a thing. can't enter download mode either
i downloaded the right .tar file im almost sure. But when it was flashing.. The phone was constantly rebooting. so the usb connectiong diddnt stay on.

Not to worry. You probably haven't bricked it. The worst you will probably have to do is make a purchase of a USB jig which forces download mode...
Before that however there are multi tricks to try get it into DM. (Obviously make sure your battery is sufficiently charged.)
1. Hold down the combo and then put the battery in, whilst holding the combo. (You will probably need help)
2. Start Odin (make sure all kies apps are closed on the comp first) plug in phone. Hold down combo.
3. Same as number 2 without battery. If it doesn't work. Set up as 2 hold combo then battery in.
4. Same as 2 with charger instead of computer.
I think those are all the combinations but you can search for it. There used to be a thread on general listing all the ways you could be bricked and ways of getting out.
Anddddd if all that fails, then you can make or buy a USB jig. Search general if you want to buy it but also you can find links to buyers members have used.
And in the worst case none of that works.. you can set the unbrickkable mod which means you will loose warranty for ever and never get it back as it is a hardware modification. I'll give the link to that if and when you need it.
Good luck

pfjew. it worked. can enter download mode!
But when i want to flash my proper firmware it asks for a pit file this time. But i don;t have a pit file at my firmware that i downloaded from sammobile. only a .tar file and a .dll
Which .pit should i use? I really want the right one this time. Deffenitily dont want to brick the damn thing i grabbed this firmware from sammobile
I9000XWJW1 ## 2.3.6 2012 January I9000XENJV5 Netherlands

I did a quick search because Sammobile is now super crap. Remember reading this..
[GUIDE] [INFO] The reality of PIT files
Having a quick scan of what it says, I believe it does not matter...But best to read to be sure.
Let us know if it works

it worked. flashed the firmware. rom doesnt work.. Boot loop.
Can enter Android system recovery now. But because that doent support my external sd, and i can't boot properly i can't flash a new rom?
I would like to flash CWM with external_sd support. searching for that one now
(i know how at my optimus 2x.. but everything is lots easier at optimus 2x compared to sgs)

Have you tried flashing it again?
Also have you tried flashing an older rom with a multi csc that includes your csc?
And finally [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000, usually helps people stuck in your situation. Id try the first two though because it keeps stock.

last one worked. thanks A LOT!

Hi,
my SGS seems to be bricked. I have tried everything described in the posts before, but nothing worked.
Here is what I did:
I downloaded several roms (those mentioned in the previous posts and from other forums) and installed them via Odin3 (1.85). The Odin log says everything went fine:

The SGS reboots and stucks at the very first Samsung logo (the one without animation). When I hit the softkeys, the light goes on, but doesn't turn off again.
After each installation I didn't touch the phone for 20 minutes hoping that something happens - but nothing
Only 2 options are left:
- returning to the download mode
- removing the battery
Another strange issue: When I try to load the SGS, the displays turns on and shows the battery symbol, but it is not animated.
Has anyone an idea what else I can do?
Thank you for your help in advance!

@keinfilter:
from samfirmware.com the flash program for i9000 is 1.82 or 1.3 or 1.0
have you used the 512 pit file?

Well you say you have done all of the above...
1. You cant even boot with [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000??
2. Wipe by going into recovery and doing all these wipes...
wipe date/factory reset + wipe cache + mount and storage>>>format system+cache+datadata+data (I dont wipe boot and you need sdcard)
After doing all the above wipes try Darky or stock with repartition checked...
3. I'm assuming that you used single tar files for flashing via odin, have you tried Odin flashes with 3 files?? If not either find a rom with 3 files or split one of the roms using the following guide by Ramad
Let us know if any of that works...
Good luck

I tested all three version (1.82, 1.3, 1.0), each with 3 files roms and the 512 pit file. Nothing changed, still the samsung logo.

After trying the DarkyROM with his ODIN again, the DarkyROM logo (Galaxy S GT-I9000 powered by DarkCore & Darky's rom) is displayed instead of the samsung logo. But the boot process doesn't continue
DarkyROMs zip archive contains only the PDA.tar, what about the CHC and PHONE? Do I have to use these from other roms? I haven't tested it yet, because I don't want to make it worse.

I can't access the recovery mode. Tried it via holding Vol up + Home button + Power button until the Samsung logo was shown the 2nd time and then releasing all buttons, but nothing else than the samsung logo.

All the roms I tried consisted of 3 files but the DarkyROM.
Edit: Btw: I have no micro-sd or sim card inserted because I read in any forum it is better to remove them. I don't know if this makes any difference.

Has anyone further ideas? Any help would be appreciated!

Try to reflash in JVU STOCK with PiT512, MODEM, CSC, etc... with battery fully charged.

[Q] Currently unable to install any rom

Hi guys,
Current situation
I haven't been able to use my phone for a good day now and I been busy reading guides, trying out stuff for a bunch of hours now. I thought it was time to ask you guys. Currently this is the only thing I'm able to do:
When I boot normally its stuck on the black screen with Samsung Galaxy Note on it.
When I boot with volume down, a screen popups up if I'm sure than press volume up. After that I'm in ODIN mode (says so with red letters in the left top). Below that it says: PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000 , CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO , CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
In the middle of the screen below the Android guy it says: Downloading... Do not turn of target !! (I'm not really sure if its suposed to say downloading there, while its not downloading anything?)
What I did so far
I came from a gingerbread Rocket ROM and decided to try out the ICS Stunner rom. I downloaded the ROM and read the install discription. I pretty much went into CWM right away to install the zip (rom) from SD card. It did work and ofcourse everything was still there cause I didnt wipe anything. But I noticed that a bunch of things didn't work and a lot of programs where crashing. I assumed I must have missed a step so I decided to go with the 'Squeaky Clean' install, which was posted on the team-passion website.
This was the last time I was able to get into CWM and connect my phone true USB with my laptop. Because I did the following steps:
Reboot in to ClockworkMod Recovery.
Format the following:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
**Enter 'Mounts and Storage'**
- Format everything it will allow you to
**Go Back, enter 'Advanced'**
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
**Go Back to main menu, reboot system**
The next step on that list is: Remove your battery and boot up into 'Download Mode'. But the only mode I am getting into is the ODIN MODE where it already says 'Downloading...'. When I try to flash using ODIN, it isn't able to setup the connection. It does identify that the phone is connected because the ID:COM is yellow on 0:[COM3]. It didn't before, but after reading somewere that it might help to install Kies for the drivers it did.
Also tried "InitialCFRootFlasher" and "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" but both arent able to establish the connection. Just like ODIN.
What I'd like to do
I'd prefer going with the ICS Stunner ROM, seeing thats how this all started. But currently I'd settle for anything working, because being phoneless for a day is pretty anoying hehe.
What do you guys suggest?

I really don't know how u understood the process. But just don't screw this. Go download any of the pre rooted odex rom -link in my signature - and flash it via odin.
Or any rootable rom from dr ketan's thread - link in my signature - and follow the steps mentioned there to the Dot slowly and calmly. Just get to GB and rooted. Then report here. Will tell u how to go to ics stunner after that.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently downloading one of the prerooted roms from your signature. However it would suprise me if ODIN allows me to install these seeing it can't really connect to the phone. Am I suposed to be in the 'Downloading... Do not turn of target !!' screen on my phone, while connected to laptop true USB?
Will update once I'v got it.

Yup u need to be in that mode. The odin on your PC should show the Com port as yellow. If it doesnt then there is some drivers problem.

It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading any rom in PDA, Phone or Bootloader and only checking auto reboot and f. reset time this is what happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And thats where its hanging, nothing on the phone screen is changing.
I don't remember the screen saying 'Downloading..' last time I flashed something. It's already saying that when I enter the screen, when its not downloading anything.

Apparently I'm not able to make edits yet here so heres another post after figuring out how to load these files:
It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading the three files in ODIN under PDA, PHONE and CSC just like on the screenshot in your signature. And only checking 'Auto reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' the following happens:

Done! I'm still not sure what went wrong, I think placing the files in the wrong place in ODIN. Got a tip from someone how to place them and they worked in one go. Pretty weird cause I was using the same setup as the XDA guide post.
Main problem is solved now, I'll have to look into the ICS thing now. Thanks for your help.

Sorry was away so couldnt reply. The setup shown i xda should work perfectly. Anyways its good to know that you got all things settled. You can install the ICS Stunner (no touchwiz and no samsung apps) if you so want. Remember to backup your data as you will have to wipe data for going to ICS. From rooted GB install mobile odin then download the lp1 repack from my signature and after all that is done reboot to recovery clear caches and data and flash stunner (download the latest build by clicking Stunner in my signature) clear caches and data and reboot.
* Triangle away is required only when you flash lp1 through PC Odin.*

Ended up using the mobile odin application, works like a charm.
Thanks for your help!

P7310 Soft Brick??

So I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 off craigslist. The guy had 4.1 loaded on it and it's rooted w/ Rom manager installed + clockwork recovery. I downloaded some the stock roms, and put it into the root folder. I then went into Rom manager and clicked boot into clock recovery. My tablet reboot, then after the Galaxy Tab 8.9 logo appear, it shuts off the screen. I can get into the boot mode w/ the 2 options, install factory or download mode. However, if I choose either one, it'll go into a gray screen, then shuts off. Is my tablet now just paperweight? :crying:
[edit]
I just realized I can get into ODIN3 Download Mode, but I don't know what to do from there.

It happen to me yesterday i solved the problem with flashing again the clockworkmod 5.4.4 with odin through pc, hope this is helpful
Edit
I cannot post video but search on YouTube 'install cwm galaxy tab p7310 8.9' it will guide you step by step, you cant miss it xD

If you can get into download mode then use pc odin to flash the stock rom. Install samsung kies(this is only for installing samsung drivers)Open the pc odin and choose the button written pda if your downloaded stock Rom is single md5 file or else if you have multiple file then choose for each one eg "kernel, phone,csc etc...".after doing this put your tab into download mode and connect it to the usb data cable, now your odin com area should turn yellow. Dont check any extra boxes rather then the one already checked in odin. Now press flash, wait for a while and let the computer do the flashing. After you finish flashing factory reset it once before using.
Next time give a little time in research before flashing your rom. Best of luck

After spending hours, literally almost not sleeping. Then I woke up and fixed it on the spot.
1. Install Odin 1.85 on the computer
2. Download ClockWorkMod (CWM - get latest version or something)
3. Run Odin (select PDA and select the ClockWorkMod.tar file)
4. Get into recovery mode (volume down + power)
5. Once it gives 2 choices, choose Download.. Press Volume Up, then Volume Up again until the screen goes to telling to plug in the USB. Make sure the Samsung Kies tray agent is disable (control alt delete and end the tray agent process)
6. Plug in the USB, and click start. It should be a 6 seconds process to complete.
7. Once the device is rebooted. Get back into recovery mode.
8. This time, select the first option (factory reset), and it'll go into CWM
9. Once in CWM, clear all the settings (even the advance settings).
10. Make sure the e-sign toggle is off
11. Now you can either run your backup recovery that your device made (if you had CWM running before) or install stock rom from SD card.
I happened to have a stock rom in my device, so I selected that. It gave me an error because it was detecting the esignature so I had to toggle it off, and selected stock rom again. This time, it was a miracle, it worked!!

I still cant get mine to unbrick

I think you should flash a stock rom with odin first and after put the recovery, that work on mine !

which exact model do you have?

There are many ways to do it, but I used CWM on mine because Odin wasn't working for some odd reason. I left Odin to flash my stock rom overnight and it hung when I woke up in the morning, hence why I used CWM. You can use Odin to flash CWM into your tablet. The only down part is that in order to use CWM, you have to have a ROM backed up in your tablet (Luckily I had a stock rom backed up).

[Q] Can´t restore recovery / adb / SD not recognize

Hi!!
First, I was trying to find some solution, here and google, but every one that could work, don´t.
I was trying to install CyanogenMod 10.1
I followed the installation guide... but when I have to choose CM zip file, I choosed another one from other sell (I was using the same card)
The CM that I use was this: cm-7.2.0-jordan.zip (from a defy phone)
instead cm-10.1-20130621-NIGHTLY-janice.zip
Everything goes bad since that.
I tried to wipe data/factory reset:
E: format_volume: fs_type "ext3" unsupported
E: Can´t mount /cache/reovery/log
E: Unknow fs_type "ext3" for /cache
I tried to update from external storage
But only shows me this: " ../ "
I tried to apply update from ADB
I followed the guide, copy the roms on self directory, put the 4 files on c:\windows , etc.
This are the common errors that shows me:
C:\Windows\Herramientas Sideload>adb sideload gapps-jb-2013
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
I tried kill the adb.exe like this, but doesn´t works
error: closed adb
I tried this but doesn´t works
I found nothing that could help more, so that´s way I making this post.
Here is some data:
GT-i9070
Windows 7 64bits
Kies updated (but could connect to the device now)
I think that drivers of the cell are updated, because windows shows me that... buy i don´t know if is the correct one.
I will be very grateful if you can help. I hope this can be fixed ..
Best regards!!
PS: sorry my english.

Can you enter in download mode with vol down+home+power when phone is switched off?

I didn´t know that.
Yes, now is in downloading mode:
Do not turn off target.
My pc can´t recognize it

Reflash stock jelly bean with Odin, then flash CoCore kernel for CWM recovery, and retry to flash CM10.1. To do that:
1-Because your pc doesn't recognize the device uninstall Kies and install only usb drivers (you can download install package here)
2-Download Odin and i9070 Stock Jelly Bean firmware from samfirmware (I recommend i9070XXLQG PDA)
3-Extract downloaded zip, you will find three files (one .dll, one .pit and one .tar.md5)
4-Launch Odin, select "Re-Partition" and leave others as they are. Press "PIT" button and select .pit file in extracted firmware's zip file, then press "PDA" and select .tar.md5 file in same directory.
5-Enter in download mode like I said you early and connect device to pc, press "Start" button on Odin and wait for the "SUCCESS" message, now your phone should power on normally.
6-Now download this zip file (for obtain root access) and put in sd card (micro sd, not internal memory!)
7-Turn off your phone, press vol up+home+power to enter recovery, select "apply update from external storage" then select root.zip, reboot device.
8-Now you have stock jelly bean rooted, update SuperSU from Google Play and install Universal Kernel Flash from frapeti (you can find it on Play Store).
9-Download CoCore Kernel here, take kernel.bin.md5 file from zip package and put it in internal storage.
10-Launch Universal Kernel Flash, select kernel.bin.md5 and flash it.
11-Power off phone and enter again in recovery with vol up+home+power, now you should have CWM-based recovery, select "backup and restore" and take a full system backup.
12-Wipe data, cache and dalvik and retry to install CM10.1-janice, in case something goes wrong or you want to remove CM without flash again with Odin you can restore your system backup from CWM.
If you have a doubt I'm here to help you

There wasn´t a .pít file on the i9070XXLQG
I found one from Odin3-v1.85.zip
Could be that why is wrong? I´m downloading one more... this time without the Kies sign. I bet that is the probelm.

it´s getting worst
Now when I turn on the phone, the screen looks with diagonals strips.
And only the download mode is working... no more for upload mode.
:crying:

Well... i was looking for that error... and could be the cable and the usb port.
I changed each one, and still don´t works.
Remove the SD, remove the sim, and every time get me the same error.
Anything else?

Which .pit you have? The name of the correct one is: GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G.pit for 8GB memory. Your have 8GB or 16GB of memory?

This one, but it came with the odin... I think.
u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
I will look for the correct one :good:

Always use specific pit file of a device, each Samsung device have it, for example I can't use i9000's pit file on i9070. Which model is? 8 or 16? Because the two models have different pit file

Now I know...
8gb model.

Okay, the correct file is the one that I said you, you can find it here on xda or with Google, I have it on pc (I'm writing with phone) but here in Italy is too late and I'm going to sleep if you can't find it I can upload it for you

Excellent, next time be careful when you're flashing roms

Thanks for the advice harith.unnikrishnan and Tesla-MADAL93
I have root some, but never flash roms. Always there is a first time... in my case was catastrophic
Best regards!!

It was not catastrophic. It would be if you flashed wrong firmware with Odin. :silly:

[Q] rooted Gt7000 that I pressed update firmware,now not working . . please help

Hello All
I have a GT 7000 with stock 4.1.2 on it and it is only rooted.
It told me it had downloaded firmware update which i pressed install ( not knowing I shouldn't have because of my note being rooted) , and in doing so it is now just showing the little android dude with the blue thing in his tummy going round
Pressing volume up, home, power button won't do anything.
I can only get it into odin mode ( volume down, home, power button )
I am a complete noob and not sure what to do to get my note to work.
A friend said I need to flash a new rom via odin and I cant find a clear guide on how to do that.
For I can't afford to brick my note.
Please help
Kindest regards

You have to have the samsung drivers installed for odin to work.
To get a stock rom google for sammobile. There are all official formwares (You will have to register).
After that extract that file, run odin and select the pda file (extracted md5 file).
Flash it. After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data.
You should be fixed now.

Odin is the way to go and the only way. Use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 it will show how to flash Philz kernel on your phone and then you will have cwm. After that you will have to get a cwm flashable Rom out of the android dev section and put on your sd card, usb mass storage my work in philz kernel if so just put Rom on card and flash through cwm. Then phone will work or find a guide on pc Odin for flashing stock n7000 roms they are out there

This just happened to me!!
Thanks jakuburban for your advice.
Though i didn't need to "After reboot go to stock cwm and wipe data." or maybe i do.
I just let it finish booting etc and everything was working fine,everything intact and okey dokey.
Can anyone say why this happened and what to do about updates in the future please?
Thanks again guys.:laugh:

Yeah, you sometimes don't need to wipe data. I told You to do this to be 100% sure it will work.
For the future, You can't use official update if You have root (normally it should give You information that You can't update the os because "Your device has been modified"), as You don't have original cwm and it won't boot into cwm to update Your os.

Okey dokey.
Thanks again for the info.

Still having Trouble

and unpluged it - can still only get into odin mode
Not sure what to do?
Is this where I have to flash a hole new Rom?
Im not sure how to do this as I was looking at putting cyanogenMod rom on but I was reading some where not all rom's come in .tar forms
and I downloaded the latest stable rom from cyanogenMod but it is a . zip
so im not sure what to do there?
Thanks heaps

Hanging at that place means there is some problem with the connection between note and pc. Make sure you have all the drivers installed and use original USB cable and main USB ports.
zip file roms need to be installed using clockwork mod recovery.
