I'm trying to reflash 4.4.2 on my S4 Active with Odin, but have no idea which files go where, I can't find the original thread that had instructions on it, and everything I did find told me to click on a PA button, which I don't have. I just need to know which files to pick for PDA, Phone, CSC, and bootloader.
*Edit* Took a bit of digging, about an hour's worth, but I got the answer I needed off youtube.

Gotta go back to to stock cause my samsung is having the search button issues and it has to go back for warranty. Odin 1 click isback to stock for AT&T phone, and the one for Rogers, is confusing me to all hell. [STOCK ROMS] i896 Rogers 2.1 and 2.2 Warranty ROM Remove ATT boot, no dbdata error!! - xda-developers
Can anyone clarify this for me, im a little lost, they said to go back to stock AT&T bootloaders, then to re-flash the Rogers stock rom?
Edit: i got most of it sorted out, but im looking for the 512 PIT file and cant find it. They said it came with ODIN, but i dont see it there in the file, (all it was a .exe file)
This is so well documented in here. Did you do a search or look through the Q&A subforum?
I did a quick search, but i admit, i didnt have alot of time when this happened this morning. Ive been searching more and more at work. Mainly i just use google though. I managed to find a 512 FILE that was in another captivate thread and emailed myself the link. Going back to stock seems to be quite a task when you havent done it before. Ive read the instructions on the site a few times. Gonna have to look over it again when i get home.
any advice when doing this?
Okay, so im attempting to do it in the next 10 -15 mins, i just want to clariify something.
This is the steps im about to take :
Unzip files to one location
Download "APN backup and restore" from market on Phone & Backup APN settings
Boot phone into download mode. (Powered OFF, hold VOL UP & DN, plug in USB)
Open Odin3 1.xx flashing utility (NOT ODIN3 ONE CLICK RESTORE TO STOCK)
Use the .tar file from the stock ROM .zip in PDA box of ODIN
Use the 512 .pit file that came with odin3 and check re-partition and check auto-reboot. PIT FILE IS A MUST IF YOU HAVE FLASHED ANY CM7 / MIUI Ginger ROM!!!!! If NO GINGER+, pit should be OPTIONAL.
Click start.
Download APN b & R and Restore APN settings
Now, im using S7, which is a 2.3 ROM, do i need to flash the bootloaders too? Thats the most confusing part for me. The rest is cake.
I could not find my answers to these questions so I will ask here.
Although I have managed to muddle through flashing to a couple of roms, the soft bricked my captivate <currently waiting on jig cable from ebay>, I now, while searching for methods to flash a fresh, stock froyo rom, have many different questions.
I don't know the different files to choose in odin under file selection, their extensions, or what the files do. I have looked for an in-depth odin toturial, but can't find it.
Can you tell me, or point me to the threads, the following...
1. What are: PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC files? I should not have been trying to flash anything without knowing this. What does each file do? I have never tried to flash anything but a tar file using the PDA input. Now I realize I dont' understand what i'm doing.
2. Given the above question, how DO I flash a soft-bricked captivate back to life once I get into download mode? At this point, I have no idea what files I need or where to get them, or the order to flash them.
3. Noobiest question of all: how do I understand the nomenclature for all of the downloads like: ...XXJ**...? Have no clue what I need.
Thanks,
Viper
PIT (partition information table) is its own little file to repartition your phone. 95% of everything goes in PDA (whole roms, kernels, bootloaders etc) CSC and phone aren't used as much and I honestly don't know what they are so you got me there.
Soft brick is easy, just get back in Download mode and flash a stock rom (JF6, KB1, KB2, or any other leak firmware around (KF1, KH3, KI#, KJ#) The names samsung uses is based on year and month it was released with a number wich is just order it was made (I believe thats how they name it)
Edit: Found here UCJF6 is UC= United States Cingular, J=2010, F= June, 6 means it was the 6th in the month of june.
Here is a rough short tutorial video I did a while back that may be helpful...

Hello everyone,
I've tried flash my i9000 to CM10 JB and sometimes it reset itself and went into clockwork mod, not sure why. I guess i'll go back to the stock rom then. My mistakes that i've done at first place is didn't do a backup (or maybe i did, can't rmb) couple months ago.
I've downloaded the files from samfirmware = I9000XWJW6_I9000OPSJV6_OPS (file inside = JW6_JV6_JW1) and also planning to flash it back to stock rom using odin3v1.87 with I9000_s1_odin_20100512.pit. The thing is there are other files missing from what i can download from samfirmware such as PDA, PHONE, CSC, BOOTLOADER ....etc. And i've tried but i couldn't find a tutorial on how to put the appropriate files into these sections.
I've tried look up into whats in JW6_JV6_JW1 but there isn't any thing that i could found to use as odin's input.
Is there any full instruction/tutorial step-by-step on how to flash i9000 from CM10 JB back to stock I9000XWJW6_I9000OPSJV6 (i'm from Australia and i guess i should put that back to normal as i will use kies as i usually did back to the old days). I really couldn't find any relevant topics flash back to I9000XWJW6_I9000OPSJV6 that i want. Others with different CSC, PDA, PHONE files i dare not to risk mixing up with the samfimware that i download, just in-case i brick my phone lol.
Thanks for your attention. Really appreciate

if it has only one big file then put in PDA section and flash, leave all the others to default values before pressing flash.

Hi,
I'm helping a friend who's got this phone (GT-S5830) debrick it. He's managed to get into Download Mode.
I'm used to flashing SGS2s with Odin - I've never done it on this, so just wanted to check a few things.
I've directed him to download this package - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156521491/6ab255f/S5830XWKPY_S5830XEUKP1_XEU.zip.html which I found on Sammobile, as the latest UK stock XEU for this phone, i.e. no bloatware.
1) On all the screenshots I've seen, it's said on the title bar of the Odin application, "Odin Multi-Downloader", whereas the version I use for my Galaxy S2 is just "Odin", or something like that, basically it's not the same. Can somebody link me to the correct version to use with this phone (GT-S5830).
2) Again, on my phone I'm used to just having one PDA to flash, or occasionally three files (PDA, Modem, CSC), whereas on this phone there seem to be many others, from what I've seen in screenshots, such as bootloader. Which ones are necessary? Should I just use everything that comes in the package from SamMobile?
3) Anything else I need to know?!
Thanks all!
EDIT: found out I should be using Odin Multi Downloader v4.42, and no higher for this phone, seen in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. I also found out I need a "Cooper_v1.0.ops" file, which is the equivalent of an SGS2 .pit file for partitioning. I found one on some guy's dropbox, but can someone link me to a direct/official one, just to make sure I haven't downloaded a bad/old one. Thanks again!

Thank you! I'll let you know if it works.
I've been searching and searching for either file and I've got nothing but dead links. The one file I did find is bad and failed to write in Odin. It's been a long time since I worked on this phone and it's currently on 4.4.2, NC2 and it's not able to receive calls after unlocking and switching carriers...so my one thought is to flash the modem file. The phone is rooted but Safestrap is not installed. Going from NC2 up to what's currently available seems very daunting and there are many conflicting instructions on how to go from one version to another.
So, does anyone have a good link to either of the mentioned files? I've been looking for Odin files but I'd install Safestrap (if I can find the right one) and flash in recovery if that is the way to do it.
Or is it possible to update 4.4.2 to 5.0? What are the best instructions? I've spent four hours researching and it's just not obvious what I can or should do. I just want the phone to receive calls.
Safestrap is installed but won't work. Installed reinstalled busybox, etc. No love.
Found this, finally. https://mega.co.nz/#F!wg5wRQrQ!vR7a6pze9dgSWjbaRSyhWA. I flashed the modem but there is still the same problem. Did unlocking break the phone? I'm going to go ahead and download the whole stock ROM and try that next.
