[Q] just want to downgrade my SGT to official

Hi there,
i wan't to downgrade my Galaxy Tab to a version being able by Kies to be upgraded again officially to 2.3.6. I tried to downgrade with
Odin3 v1.7
P1000XXJID.rar
P1_EUR_20100816.pit
I did id just as in several tutorials described, also tried the variant with
P1_add_hidden.pit
What happens is that ODIN flashes succesfully, devide starts up as a new one... and after some seconds ( half a minute or minute or so ) it just shuts down and shows the battery loading logo.
Tried some different approaches ( with or without re-partitioning and so on), nothing brought me back a stable system to be connected to KIES and upgraded to 2.3.6.
Any help is appreciated
regards
Freddy

Download the latest official Gb rom from samfirmware.com.
Fire up odin and load the file in pda. No pits and other stuffs required. Its already there in the rom.
Uncheck re-partition and time reset.
Bring your Tab in download mode and connect the cable. Make sure odin shows a yellow box with com port number.
Hit run and wait until it says pass and turns green.

well i already did so with 2.3.6, it came up after flashing, but Kies did not recognize my SGT ( my Notebooks USB Sound only did once this "dudum"-Sound, instead of twice with a device that is recognized afterwards ) and remaining Battery Time was shown as a few minutes, although battery is full.
well, i will give it another try and come back here
thanks for your help !

Yieeeehaaa..... Kies now discovered it and seems to accept the firmware.. at least it says that its the actual one ;-)
remains the problem with the incorrect remaining time being shown for the battery

OK... seems to adjust it by itself ;-)
Everything is fine now !

[Q] Last original update for Samsung Galaxy S is crap :/

Hi guys.I recently got my first Android phone.It's Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000.I like look,speed is good,it is not lag.I play Subway surfers and Temple Run 2 without lag.Internet is fast,everything works well,but first week of using it,I noticed battery drain.First time it was over the night and I was so confused because everything was closed in Task Menager.That was Gingerbread 2.3.3.I searched forums and I did everything it's possible.Turn off all for sure:wii-fi,network data,sync,set screen on lowest,turned of GPS,bluetoot,live wallpapers,automatic updates,vibrate,animations,everything possible and drain was still there.I was sad.I searched forums 2 weeks and again nothing.Then I found one solution:Reeboting phone after charging and after long playing games.That realy works but it's stupid to do that every day.Then I found that I should update firmware.I wanted to be originall and official so I downloaded Kies and installed new and latest update for my phone.It's Gingerbread 2.3.4.First day it was fine beside internet and games still drained battery a lot but after charging it was all good.There wasnt big Os drain.Just 3-4%.I was happy until other day after charging I went to sleep.Battery droped to 51%.I was so frustrated.Next time after charging it was good again but next time not.I'm sure I closed every app.My phone isn't rooted and I don't wanted to be till yesterday when I saw that you can choose which apps will be open.I am still not sure about if.SNS is always open and I never use it.I hate this bug on gb.I cant believe its last official update for this phone.Android and Samsung really don't care for their users.I am affraid of install custom rom or rooting.I think that my phone will become slow and games will lag.Is there any original firmwares for this phone which are stable,fast and not draining battery?How to.install it?Is new KitKat 4.4 good for this phone?Is subwaysurfers laging on it?What should I do?Please help me guys,please.Sorry for bad english

For a clean install and root, flash XXJVU ROM and its CF_root, as it is easy and problem free. I never had any problem with JVU
The whole procedure is given below
FLASHING JVU ROM WITH ODIN v1.85:
1. Install USB drivers for i9000 on PC (ignore if already installed) and restart computer to take effect
2. Turn off your phone/remove battery and put it in download mode
by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER
Do you get the Yellow Triangle?..If so
continue..if not do it again...
3. Open odin and after that Plug in Phone with USB Cable To Computer.
4. In ID:COM box it should go yellow and you should see
ADDED in the message box
5. Check Re-Partition option and then Click PIT
button to select: s1_odin_20100xxx.pit file.
6. Click PDA button and select :
CODE_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
7. Click PHONE button and select:
MODEM_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
8. Click CSC button and select:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar
9. When you have all the files needed in ODIN,
Click Start and let it Run
10. Once complete you will see S logo on phone
(computer will make a few noises like connect/
disconnecting
11. If Odin is stuck showing no change above yellow turned box for more than 2 minutes, close Odin and repeat steps 3 to 10.
12.Unplug the Cable from Phone
13. Run your phone and choose the language and the other startup options. Run until you get the home screen.
You will see your phone working excellent. Now it's time for rooting
Procedure for rooting:
1. Power Off Phone
2. Download CF-Root kernel first.
Unzip the file to a folder. You
will get the .tar file – CF-Root-
XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar
— inside the extracted folder. DO NOT extract
the .tar file (even if you see it as a zip
file, which it is not). You need to flash
the .tar file using Odin to gain root
access and install the ClockworkMod
Recovery (CWM) alongside. If you’re
getting zimage file, it means you’ve
extracted the .tar file too! — and that’s
not a right thing to do.
3. Boot your phone in Download Mode —
Press and hold volume down+HOME
+POWER keys together.
4. Open Odin now. Connect your phone to PC now. You’ll notice “Added! !” message in the Odin’s message box in the bottom left and the yellow box.
5. On Odin, click the PDA tab and select the .tar file you got in step 2 — CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-
CWM3RFS.tar
6. Make sure “Re-Partition” checkbox is not selected. Leave the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” checkboxes selected.
7. Click the Start button on Odin to flash the CF-Root kernel. After the CF Root is installed, phone will restart automatically. When you see the PASS written in top left box, you can remove the cable.
8. Your phone is rooted now. That surperuser app is there! The CWM app is also there, and
clockworkmod based recovery has
been installed too. Now you enter the custom ROM world without worries. Enjoy!
9. To install any custom ROM, first of all, download the ROM zip file and its g-apps zip file and put them on your internal sd card
10. Now go to recovery. You can go to the recovery by 3 buttons combo:
Turn off your phone/remove battery and put it in recovery mode by holding
VOLUME UP+MENU+POWER
11. You are in recovery now. Click on the "install zip from sd card" option and choose the ROM zip file you want to flash on your phone by navigating by volume up and down buttons and choose by using power button. Click on yes when prompted.
12. When you see "install from SD card complete", install the g-apps zip file.
13. When g-apps installation has been completed, Restart your phone and now enjoy!!!

Its not bricked ( so be cool ) when Odin is stuck in setup connection, simply reboot PC and phone and before attempting to flash again, kill KIES in task manager ( All of these solutions are mentioned in MY Android Solutions, at the top (sticky) of this Forum)
When using Odin to Flash, Open task manager and close these : Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe
IF your downloaded File (.tar, .zip, .md5 .rar ) is corrupted, Odin could get stuck too, so download from another source, if it happens repeatedly

Just for your INFO.
KIES process will only activate when you connect your phone to PC , IF you did not tick USB debugging, Odin will not detect your phone and comport will not light up (it means you had USB debugging checked. ), so when Odin gets stuck on setup connection,
a) KIES and ODIN are connecting together, as such Odin will have problem trying to setup as KIES willl connect first before ODin3
b) When downloaded firmwares are corrupted, may aso have setup connection problems.
IF you had learned to use the search function in this forum, you would have found this problem and solutions experienced by many and solved easily. So next time use the search or ask for help and be patient as not all members are online in every minute of the day.

Great post!I will use it when i need it in future.
I think GamerzROM Legend Edition V4.0 is great,how much RAM is available with that rom?
Games are great and fun on android phones,so that ROM got my attention.
With GB 2.3.4 Official Stock firmware I was able to have 328 MB available,and when cash is deleted,it takes 150 MB of RAM.I played Subway Surfers and Ski Challange 2014 without lagging.
I'm curious is it even more faster with this ROM.I mean,this looks like Android 4.0 and I heard that Samsung Galaxy S doesn't have enough RAM for that ROM.Tell me more about GamerzROM Legend Edition V4.0 for Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
THANK YOU

sm-v700 is stuck in screen of death

hi ppl
i just bought me a used sm-v700 and its stuck in screen of death,
i have tried connecting it to both Kies and Kies 3, fully updated ofc, restarted my pc after installations,
none of the above programs can connect to my watch :/
tried calling samsung support to no use (send it in)
what do i do next?
my objective with the watch is to get it working ofc, and get it rooted to work with my sony xperia z2

Use Odin 3.09 to flash a stock image. I'm commuting right now so I doing have a link.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app

Hi mate, this has happened to me as well, i was sure i had ruined my watch. What fixed it in my case was to drain the battery. Because once i was in the screen of death the watch doesn't seem to ever turn off. When i turned the watch back on i used heimdall to restore the firmware. Odin failed miserably.

the battery on my watch has drained by now, tho i have had it both connected to my pc and to my usb wall charger it looks like it wont charge, it only starts up to the screen of death when its connected and goes all black when i remove the usb cable :/

the watch only turns on for a few sec's and then dies, turns on automatically and then dies,, over and over :/

since that it just whent black, googled a bit and found a thread about this on this site which had this youtube link on it v=5WzGC0786U0
removed the battery from the motherboard and at least it charges normally, i think,,
it charges at least now, and i can access "download" and "recovery" mode but neither Heimdall or Odin can find it :/

anyone got any ideas? got the **** to find the download mode again, but pc cant find it

hi, sorry i have been away from the computer for a while.
exactly, how did you get to the SOD screen btw?
for me my pc found the watch when it was in the SOD screen after i got the d..n thing restarted.
but when i tried to use odin it froze for forever so i had to repeat the drain/restart cycle and then heimdall played nicely with it.
other than that i really got no idea other than what you have allready brought up. i guess you just have to try and try and try.
removing the battery is probably a better way to restart instead of draining it.
i might add that i used heimdall on ubuntu(for me heimdall has always seemed better in linux for some reason)
and if it is a driver issue the driver you need should come with the distro. so you could try to power up a livedisk and try.
or you could try to get it recoqnized in a different usb port if you haven't tried that.
Cant hurt, right.
Good luck!

Recover back GG from sceen of death
I used this method and its working to recover back my GG error issue
I hope this will help u ..
1 - Download and install odin 3.0.9
2 - Download GG stock rom with the last file name *******NE9 ( If the file is zip file , u must extract it first to get the file *******NE9.tar - something like that )
3 - Connect your phone ( must be samsung phone ) . Odin will detect and auto install driver for usb detection. After that disconnect it
4 - Connect your GG to usb ( It will auto detect your GG )
5 - uncheck AUTO REBOOT & REPARTITION
6 - Click PDA button and set to the location you put the NE9 file
7 - Wait for a while and after odin finish checking that file click START BUTTON
8 - Wait until upgrading proses finish
- ( YOUR GG WILL SHOW BLUE COLOR PROGRESS BAR )
9 - Odin will show PASS ! in green color at the status bar if the process success
10 - Disconnect your gear & manually reboot ( press power button about 5 sec )
* sometimes you must reboot 2-3 times to make GG fully reconfigure back it system
* need to unpair/pair again the bluetooth between GG and the phone
* Usually after bluetooth paring success., gear manager will auto update and then u can
use your GG as usual.
That all .. ENJOY YOUR NEW TIZEN ... PEACE !

kofxi, Your a star man. Just got my gear today and tried flashing updating to _V700OXAAMK7 and got screen of death nothing I tried worked.
Just grabbed the NE9 file and worked like a charm, I owe you several drinks.

Hmm, does it charge? It may have been bricked. If there is no chance of returning it or warranty then I'm not sure what to do. Since it seems it's been this way for a few days, you may have to be creative. I've had mine fail a few times via Odin and after a few times holding the power I would get back to the kies screen on the Gear which I would try to fix in the recovery part of kies and that would not work since I wasn't installing the update via Kies. But moral of the story was after trying to see the gear in kies and failing, I again tried with Odin 3.09 and it would see the device again. Where I loaded the Odin version which failed, then rebooted gear and tried 2nd time and closed my eyes.. and it loaded. I would make sure nothing is running in the background ( 1st fail I noticed windows detecting device halfway through Odin flash and that caused my issue).
Also if you have another device like a samsung phone, you may see that device in Odin (only suggest this as a way to test if Odin and windows drivers for samsung device are loaded). But hopefully with some reload of the drivers on you computer (on that....try another computer if possible) you will have some success.
If you try all that and it's a no go and still crazy colors and lines.....only thing I can think of is to let battery die and then connect charger and see if it charge's or goes to charge screen. Let me know if you can get to anything else...

Ditto - rushed into the update before reading up properly and ending flashing with latest Tizen when I should have used the older version with boothloader. Thought I'd recovered the situation when I managed to flash with Android 4.2.2, Odin showed as completed but the Galaxy Gear continued to be stuck on the downloading screen albeit with a download bar showing however it did not reset. Switched it off after a while and then that's when the corrupt screen started and failure to be recognised by the pc
Any help would be appreciated before it hits the bin.............

Did the same, reflashed STOCK 4.4.2 (has to original it came with) and restored android. Then updated to NE9 rom then to NF1... Unfortunately the NF1 rom needs some base files installed in NE9. Can't just jump to lastest...
Then rooted it...

update: no joy - pc or odin fail to detect the Galaxy Gear when connected via USB

Try this.. maybe it can help
1 - close odin
2 - connect your samsung phone first with the pc via usb cable
* ( pc will detect your phone and auto install usb driver for it )
3 - disconnect your phone
4 - open odin
5 - connect your GG with odin via usb cable that you use to connect your phone to pc
6 - Repeat back the instruction as given
This happen to me before.. but its works for me
*( sorry to forgot to mention that situation ) ... peace

I've got the same problem with my Gear. Screen with random colored dots and lines. Did anyone find a way to fix this? Any help is appreciated.

Did you get this fixed?
