[Official][HOW TO] Samsung/Tmo JI6 Firmware [CONFIRMED]

Samsung has release JI6 in the USA for Tmo in their new Kies Mini, Posted their guide on my site, also this was confirmed by official samsung twitter that this is the exact same update tmo is pushing out over the air.

Did you pull this one from your phone after getting the ota?

The Kies update would let me see the missing apps when I first launched the market. If I installed an app from the market then I could not see the protected apps anymore. Do you still see the missing apps after installing something from the market?

Just created a MD5 file, it's the same as the "[ROM] T959UVJI6 OTA Stock ODIN Flashable".

My market is still missing desktop visualizer

Market Fix
For those of you having problems with the market, download SGS tools from the market, apply market fix, and you should be able to see your apps again.
On a side note... has anyone noticed that haptic feedback does not work with the android keyboard. It only works with Sype and samsung keyboards.

There's got to be something causing the market discrepancies, but if the MD5 is the same it doesn't look like the code. Would flashing with ODIN with the pit file vs. without the pit make any difference? I believe it was common practice not to use the pit to flash the JI6 OTA.

I flashed with the pit file and the tar and I still don't see all of my apps..

I've flashed it every way I can think of with the same issues. The only one that made a difference was updating with Kies, but like I said on first market access I could see the apps but if I installed one I could no longer see them.

Hey is the 5.1 sound option in headset mode for movies working for you out works only in music for me it lights up in movies but no sound change but big one in music

Mod Edit: Mind the language, and the flaming

Yeah, Im not sure whats going on here.
From day one since I bought my phone I have had GPS problems, and I have tried every fix out there to no avail. I usually find 10 or 12 satellite but gps doesn't lock onto any of them, and usually takes forever to get a accurate reading.
I finally reverted back to complete stock jfd and am gonna wait for the JI6 OTA.
But I think I just might have to exchange this phone out for a mytouch hd, and give up the beautiful amoled
BTW Ben don't even bother arguing with the dum dums, its just a waste of good brain cells .

You're a complete moron and a total d!ck head! The fact that you say "prob" does not make it true you idiot!... Have some facts to back up your moronic statements.

Agreed!

Aside from the obvious err in the language department, (which I have no beef at all with! ), you are totally correct, man. Let's keep this a user friendly forum, peeps! Big ups for standing up for yourself though, Ben... And thanks for all of your work from the good ol' days of the G1. You rock!

i was having problems with gmail not working, market apps etc...
flashed JFD with 512 pit and repartition checked.
then flashed JI6 with 512 pit and repartition unchecked.
that fixed it.
i think you have to repartition or some of the old system files get left behind.
problem is if you repartition with 512 pit and ji6 the phone doesn't boot, so you have to start with JFD and repartition it and then update to ji6

when you reflashed JFD, did you use ODIN 1.3?

You are constantly asking people to donate to you, what the hell is with that? Every thread you've started you want people to donate to you.
That aside, this is Samsung's stock firmware, not yours. Thanks for posting the original, but I wouldn't donate for work you didn't do.

Odin finished sucessfully, phone won't turn on

I run windows XP in a virtual machine on my Ubuntu 10.10 box. I was using I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe to reset my Captivate to stock 2.2 form in order to get an idea of how to run the update process from 2.2.
Here is the log

<ID:0/005> Removed!!
<ID:0/005> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
The phone will not turn on now. If it is turning on, then it is simply a black, unlit screen. Would a jig be worth a try or would I be wasting my time?

The definitive answer to "can I unbrick a Captivate with a jig?" is no. Jigs are worthless unless you have a phone without 3 button fix.
I have 2 captivates here. My wife's phone responds to my jig and my phone does not. This is ridiculous. So, now all you guys can punk those guys who respond with "try a jig".
JIGS ARE WORTHLESS EXCEPT WITH MODEL 1008 AND LOWER PHONES. Almost every phone comes with 3 button fix.

Right. So I'm guessing your phone is 1010 or higher?
It should be made more aware, but I'm pretty sure it's been said somewhere that the two ODIN one-click programs that are running around don't work with any models that are 1010 or higher...

first jig lies, now this.
I have a 1012. What do you use on a 1012? I've used ODIN several times. I got to thinking that this time I did something different.
I think it was one of the following
1. I had AIO Captivate Toolbox idling on my virtual machine. http://files.teamkomin.com/aio-captivate-tool/Install AIO Captivate Toolbox 3.0.msi
2. I executed a lsusb command in Linux outside the virtual machine during the flash.
Both of those actions seem pretty dossile. I would not expect either to do anything to the flash. However, AIO Captivate toolbox may be polling for status or something in a hositle way which caused a miscommunication.

venomio, where did you get that information?

I have a 1011 buld and my jig has worked without issue and yes my 3 button does work as well. First things I tested when I got it. It came loaded with 2.2 and I used odin one click that I have had for a while that put me back to 2.1 jf6 , was worried but went off without a hitch.

I just had the same problem. I actually just made a post, but I didn't get the successful from odin. It ws a 1012, and 3 button had always worked before. I'm open to ideas

so are your phones unable to get into download mode at all? I've seen that somewhere about not using Odin oneclick on 1010 or higher but it hasn't been a problem for me the many times I've used Odin. Only oneclick I've used is jf6 though.
Sent from my I897 using XDA Premium App

lots and lots of theroys
The 1010 and up are unable to use the JF6 one click, regardless of three button fix or not.
I am not sure about the JI6 coming from gingerbread. I used it on a 1010, and it worked fine coming from eclair w/ no bootloader swap. also, i used the one click. From the log you provided it looks like you used full ODIN3 (hopefully that strike worked)
I would say that it was the fact you had ran the command in linux, it may have confused the data cord and have something "tangled" data wise or the 1012 build, although I thought it was only JF6 one click. I need to research more before i brick my 1012.
I remember talking to Team PHX on their IRC and they were talking about these 1010 and up not working with JF6 and one of them said they were pointing people at the JI6 one-click so i believe its compatible.
Although I'm going to stick to my theroy of data getting tangled up.
I wouldnt say it was AIO because it was just running like a background task, nothing more, nothing less.
Oh wait! If you read more you will recieve twice the amount of me thinking!
I have another theroy! Phew, Lots of ideas, little time. well, lots of time Dang, forgot what i was going to say....I'll edit this once i remember OH! the log says cache.rfs twice. could that have been a problem? I wouldnt think so, but may cause a bad flash.
So, this would be a good time to call up connexion (or however you spell that)
Or mobiletechvideos, although im sure its the same guy.

Alright, now the evidence is piling up.
right now the score is
2 for 1010 and up problem
and 2 for a linux command problem.
Time to see if i can use my detective skillZ to figure this out. MORE RESEARCH!

I have used the same jf6 one click many times on this phone with no problem. I didn't notice the double during the flash. It really just stuck at reset. I'm clueless a to why after 10 plus flashes it did it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

i have 1011 version..
and i hav used oneclick to go back to jf6 many times..and no problem...so i think ppl r just assuming that it wont work on some 1008 or 1012 and higher...
and i m not taht experienced..but seein the log i m just wondering if sbl.bin did mess up with ur booloaders..

Yeah... don't get me wrong... I had a 10.10 that worked fine with Odin until one day it went kablooey on one-click.

i read some posts about odin one-click issue cause i had exactly the same issue after jf6 odin so i had to made usb jig then flashed ji6 to fix it.
This is what i figured out so far.
If your device's build number is 1010 or higher and froyo preinstalled (kb1, kb2) from factory, you can't use jf6 one click. It will cause boot loop and won't able to get into download mode with key combo. U need to use usb jig like me to fix it. Use FROYO one click instead.
Maybe build numbers don't matter but the froyo from factory cause the problem.. i guess..

i9000m fail

I have the downloading screen on my phone.When I turn the phone off I get the boot up screen and then you guessed it... I have not been able to use my phone since something went horribly wrong i think.
happened while trying this method [found bellow]
Heimdall Frontend-flash- boot, and sbl {both .bin files....
-.-
No luck with system restore either....I'm looking for a diagnostic as well as a solution to my problem.
Update; Odin up and running, and flashing STOCK Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 firmware as we speak...hope this turns out alright...
Update#2. phone has been flashed to stock settings and I can now log on again! woohoo! now to re-root then apply changes to unlock the SIM block.
Another progress update!
Kudos to all who've been following my progress thus far. I have rooted the device and am now just taking a look at a few acute errors such as Superuser binary update error(s) like;
Copying su to /system... fail!
and installing Superuser...in system reboot loading screen I get;
E: signature verifacation FAILED
so If I can twist the qwirks to finally get this fully loaded 3 day process finished-
I will be super happy.
Something tells me I might be back at figuring out the boot.bin and sbl.bin files soon to find out how they truly work.
w.e. happens I'll keep you posted
Jake
I did it! Phone is now unlocked and works too! Plus got details of how I can maintain phone warranty whilst I tinker around! Went through hell and came back in the last 3 days! I must say hats off to the developers here at XDA. Many many many of you have helped me alot!#Thank-You Soo Much!
Now I'm going to bump that OS to Jelly Bean!

thanks
I have also had this problem. but now the problem is fixed, manny thanks for the XDA people. :good:

i'm stumped. s5 will not boot past samsung logo

after a FULL wipe bad flash to cm12 on my part, i restored with odin 3.09 with g900auc1ance firmware. it shows success on odin, but upon reboot, i still get the samsung "custom" with open padlock. then it attempts to boot and the samsung logo does it's thing and only completes about 80% of the logo, then goes dead/blank with blue led lightly pulsing. i took it to bestbuy to the samsung kiosk hoping the tech could help. he scolded me and showed me his at&t s5 running cm12. i'm stumped. any help would be appreciated.
i've rooted and rommed every android i've had and have always been able to fix it., all thanks to XDA.

Could it have been a bad download of ANCE. I've seen that happen before. Either a bad download or a bad transfer from comp/phone to sd card. I'd try re downloading

will do
will try that now. hoping it works.

nope. tried and same results.

Perhaps try Odin 3.10? Could it be that simple.
Also did you try a different source for the file you were trying to flash?

Number one you CANNOT run CM 12 or ANY AOSP or custom kernel on the G900A due to the locked bootloader whoever told you that flat lied to you
I'm assuming you've taken the 444 update correct??
Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3021120read OP scroll down to the troubleshooting section and download the downgrade to NCE rar. Extract the downgrade to NCE tar md5 place phone in download plug it in and using Odin 3.09 place the tar in the ap slot then flash let it complete wait til phone boots then you'll be back to bone stock NCE phone.

I did the 4.4.4 and I'll give this a shot this evening. Again, thank you for the help.
*edit*
I have not tried Odin 3.10. I downloaded the files from the restore threads link to a google drive storage.

Odin 3.10 works fine. Don't forget to wipe cache and Davi. Sometimes that's all you need. And I agree, do some research first before you try flashing anything. Our locked bootloader makes us different.

Will do. I'll update what I find this evening.

OK I figured you took the 4.4. 4 update go to the link I provided and if you read OP it states that if one has trouble with the first downgrade rar to go to the troubleshooting section.
Download the Downgrade to NCE rar in the troubleshooting section and extract the Downgrade to NCE md5 tar.
Using Odin 3.09 put phone into download mode plug it in you'll see added in the box.
Place the Downgrade to NCE tar md5 file into ap slot and press start it will work. I've done it several times myself and helped quite a few people in your place as well
Let phone completely boot up and you'll have a bone stock device ready to start over.

Dodged that bullet. Got rid of Custom status too. Very cool

I am having the same issue but with a "there is no PIT partiton" error
I have tried everything that I could to get my phone working again. I even downloaded a so called pit file that apparently didn't work because the error keeps coming up. Is there a legit PIT file that I can download and if so could someone please point me in that direction? Also if someone could please help me to get my phone working again I would also appreciate that. I just bought this phone off of ebay and I am trying to get it working as my regular phone. when I start the phone up there are two lines at the top of the screen 1 is a white line that says MMC read fail error or something to that effect, and there's another line in red that says movinand confirmation error. After about 3 to 4 minutes of waiting the phone will go into download mode by itself and give me a whole bunch of lines one of which will say: Knox 0x0.
is there a way I can either repair or repartition the phone? I spent 6 hours trying to figure this out. I am tired.
Thanks in advance for any helpful response.

Help! I did something stupid.

I was using safestrap to try and install a custom rom, I wiped my stock rom but my phone ended up dying (I didn't see that the charger wasn't plugged in) now I can't do anything at all. IT just gets stuck on the samsung galaxy s5 logo. I cannot flash any AP I just get an auth failed error. I tried using the G900AUCU3BOC4_OneClick but I get an error on that as well. Please help me. I figured that I don't have an OS to boot into now. And I cant downgrade from 5.0 am I screwed?

So you can't put your phone into download mode and ODIN your old firmware back on to the phone?
Please post everything ODIN shows when you attempt so we can try and help you further. Might want to try flashing with the BL and PIT file as well.
P.S. I don't know what G900AUCU3BOC4_OneClick is, but google took me to
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/att-galaxy-s5-lollipop-update-odin-firmware-80652/
And that doesn't look legit. Make sure you get all of your firmwares from here or sammobile.com. The "Odin" on that page doesn't even look like odin.

at&t s5 active sm-g870a
I was trying to root my phone following instructions on this site.
I installed the NE4 that was about 10+mb.
then I got stuck on the screen with red font that says "android system recovery <3E>"
I can still flash in download mode.
I attempted to install the full NE4 available from this site which is about 2.3 gig and it says FAIL! (Auth)
So then i attempted to load NG3 available from this site and it was sucessful but I'm still stuck on the "android system recovery boot.
Would anyone happen to know where I might get the "G870AUCU280F3 ROM"?
Also does anyone know what NAND erase all does when the box is checked in Odin 3.09?
Im thinking about checking that box and trying again.
for now I'm thrilled that I can still get to download mode and I don't want to mess that up.

thank you so much sir, but i do not understand your post.
I do very little with computers and internets and forums.
I've been scouring this site for the info i need and I'm either not smart enough to know what i'm looking for or this site is so vast that it may take more than a few days to learn how to navigate it.
I will say that I find it unsettling that the forum doesn't seem to recognize that our phones (sm-g870a) even exist, as evidenced by typing s5 active in the equipment box.
but meanwhile i will search for a general section.

Squirt,
if you have a question, please submit your own question in this thread instead of hijacking somebody else's question with an off-topic one. I suggest you take XRange's advice and check the "General" section of the "AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5" thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general
Had you checked the general section, you would see that the 4th post down is exactly what you are looking for.

At this point I recommend you try and use Samsung's Kies software to restore your phone to factory, then you can start over with rooting or flashing roms.

My bad

kies says it is not compatible with the phone so I had to install a new program which acted like it was going to do the trick. After 3 hours, It quit and told me that it was unable to complete the task.
