Thank you for quick reply. I started compiling the files need to flashing. So far, I could do following. Please advice me whether I am on the right path or not.
1. Rooted my tab with Z4root. Now I got root permission.
2. Downloaded Odin3 v1.7.exe and s1_odin_20100803.pit for flashing
3. Downloaded Roto-JMI-Full-v2.zip and Roto-JMI-Upgrade-v2.zip
Now, using Odin PDA button, I want to flash Roto-JMI-Full-v2.zip ?
Few questions:
a) Is this correct way of flashing or I am missing something?
b) Does above flash install Recovery also ?
c) which files need for PHONE and CSC files ?
d) Which firmware best suitable for Indian Tab ?
Thank you in advance for clarifying above.

I really appreciated reply for my questions as it would allow me to move forward. I will ensure a good documentation at the end of the process for benefit of other users.

Install Adfree or something which requires root acess for installation. Once rooted download something like root explorer from market which allows you to backup the modem.bin file. Or me or somebody else can just upload the file here.
Read the post/link in the thread where you downloaded Roto's JMI rom.
Use the .pit file from Roto's link not the thing which you posted...same place where you got the same ROM file. If you are flashing first time/from another rom then use the Full v2 zip file. Else use Update v2 when flashing from one of Roto's rom.
Connect the tab to your pc, reboot and go into download mode...press power+vol down button while rebooting...a yellow triangle icon with an android digging will come up...to get out of download mode,just keep the power button pressed till it rebooted normally.
Once in download mode, open up Odin and check that the yellow com box option is on. Check repartition option to ensure everything is wiped and you have a fresh install from scratch.
For PIT select the pit file downloaded from roto's link
For PDA select the Full.tar file
For PHONE select the modem.bin file
For CSC leave it blank...
Once done, recheck and hit start.
PLEASE CHECK ROTO'S JMI V2 THREAD IN THE DEVELOPEMENT SECTION...it has a link to howto which is old but gives some idea of how to proceed...for pit, pda, phone follow as I suggested and things will go fine...

I followed the steps after flashing 'full' tar, it rebooted tab, started the normally. After that, I verified that, all applications , phone (GSM) and wifi working fine.
Now my question is do I really need to flash *second* tar file ? what is it for ?

^^No. It is only for people upgrading from previous versions! You are good to go!

Now, I want to install CWM recovery. Please some one can confirm below steps:
1. Make sure to have Samsung Kies installed, and your tab at least connected once, to be sure the drivers are correct.
2. Your Tab must be Rooted.
3. If you wish to do a backup, now is the time.
4. You will need an SD Card with enough free space for the filesystem conversion, and to put the Overcome ROM on before we start. (An empty 4gb should be plenty, as long as it is empty, or close too)
5. Download and Extract the following file to your computer: http://www.apksmash.com/corodius/galaxytab.zip (Contains "Odin3 v.1.7.exe" "Overcome_Kernel_v1.0")
Now, we will Install the Kernel and perform the EXT4 filesystem conversion.
1. Turn off your Galaxy Tab.
2. Turn your Galaxy Tab on into DOWNLOAD mode (Press Volume DOWN and Power On at the same time).
3. Open Odin3 v1.7.exe on your PC.
4. Connect your Galaxy Tab to your PC via the USB cable.
5. Make Sure the ID:COM box is highlighted yellow (meaning it sees your tab).
6. Click on the PDA button and select the Overcome_Kernel_v1.0.tar file you downloaded earlier (make sure PDA is ticked after selecting the file).
7. The only boxes ticked should be:
A. Auto Reboot
B. F. Reset Time
C. The PDA tickbox
8. Click start and wait for PASS! to show highlighted green on Odin.
9. Your Galaxy Tab will Reboot, and get stuck on the Samsung Boot Screen. This is fine.
10. Turn your Galaxy Tab off by holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
11. Turn your Galaxy Tab on into RECOVERY mode (Press Volume UP and Power On at the same time).
12. The Galaxy Tab will now perform the EXT4 conversion.
13. Sit tight, depending on how much data you have, this can take quite a long time.
14. Once finished, click reboot system now (by pressing the power button).
At this point, You have installed the Overcome Kernel with CWM included and converted the Filesystem to EXT4. It has been reported that many stock ROMs will boot and run fine now, however some may not, but it just depends on your ROM etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11713685.
Would be there any problem ? or is there any easy way to install CWM Recovery.

I had bricked my tab while modding battery icon and it was not booting now. Now i want to flash with the custom rom available here. I am noob to flashing so just want to confirm the steps mentioned above applicable to the bricked tab. Can somebody guide me for bircked tab.
Please mentioned the good custom rom with Ext4 conversion at the time of install. I am using indian tab.
@OP:- Sorry for hijacking this thread but find some info here for my queries

Can you get into download mode? If yes then you should be able to flash...but I would suggest checking"I bricked my tab" threads in general or developement section...

[Q] Updated ROM Philz JB 4.1.2 XXLT6 via Odin but won't go past samsung gt-n7000

Hope you guys can help me.
Was updating my ICS (Criskelorom) to JB 4.1.2 XXLT6 ROM of Philz (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5) via Odin 3.07. Initially had some issues but, managed to get to where Odin resulted in a PASS. On REBOOT I only get up to the Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000 screen with a yellow ! triangle at the bottom. I was able to get to both Recovery and Download modes but would never get passed to homescreen and just stay on black screen.
Did it several times and got worried I'd brick my phone so I ran the ICS zip I had stored on my SD via Recovery mode and was able to get my phone running. Still want to pursue my JB upgrade though but, not sure if I was doing it right. Any help would be much appreciated guys.
Here is what I did...
MADE SURE OF THE FF.:
1) Install USB driver for Samsung Galaxy Note to transfer files between the phone and the computer using download of KIES from Samsung site
2) Enable USB Debugging Mode on the phone to connect the Android device with the computer
3) created a back-up of my contacts only
4) charged to above 80% battery charge
5) The phone should be factory unlocked and not locked to any particular carrier - I had unlocked it during my ICS upgrade from the GB original OS
THEN FOLLOWED THE STEPS:
Step-1: Download PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5 for Samsung Galaxy Note to the computer
Step-2: Download Odin 3.07 which will help to install the root package on the phone. Extract the Odin zip to get Odin3 v3.07.exe file with some other files
Step-3: Place the Galaxy Note into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together until a construction Android robot appears on the phone's screen. Now press the Volume Up button to continue to enter into Download Mode
Step-4: Run Odin3 v3.07.exe as an Administrator
Step-5: Connect the Note to the computer using USB cable while it is in the Download Mode. Wait for some time until Odin detects the phone. When the device is connected successfully, the ID: COM box in Odin will turn yellow with the COM port number. Also, the successful connection will be indicated by a message saying Added in Odin.
Note: If the Added message does not come then try another US port, try the one located at the back side of the computer. If Odin still fails to detect the device then re-install USB driver
Step-6: In Odin, click the PDA button and select the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1.tar.md5 file
Step-7: Now configure the Odin settings. Ensure that the Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes are selected in Odin. As for the Re-Partition, uncheck the option
Step-8: Once everything is set, click the Start button in Odin. The installation should begin now and would take about few minutes to complete
Step-9: When the installation process is completed the phone will restart automatically. And soon a PASS message with green background will appear in the Odin indicating successful installation. After the home screen appears on the phone, unplug the USB cable from the device to disconnect it from the computer
Was able to reach Step-9 but my phone would not get to home screen.
Please help me with any advise anyone can give me?
thanks.

By the way, saw another option for Steps 5-6:
Step-5: Connect your Note N7000 with your PC using a data cable. Once the device is successfully connected, you will see a notification in Odin in the bottom left saying Added!! - if for some reason, you do not see the said notification, try another USB port. Also, check for ID:COM port being depicted by a number in yellow to make sure that you have successfully added your device.
Select the following files in Odin at their respective tabs from extracted XXLT6 firmware folder:
Step-6:
Click the PDA button to select the .tar file extracted earlier.
Click the Phone button, and select file with *modem* in its name (ignore, if this file does not file exist).
Next, click the CSC button, and select file with *csc* in its name (ignore, if this file does not file exist).
Click the PIT button to select the .pit file. (ignore, if this file does not file exist).
Ensure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options selected in Odin window. Also ensure to select Re-Partition checkbox only if you are using a .pit file.
Except since I only had the TAR file I ignored the rest so I assumed I was doing it right up to that point. Also, the YELLOW highlight in Odin 3.07, wasn't yellow but kind of light blue.
That was it. All I did. Still, not succesful.
Please help.
Thanks.

Phew! That's a lot to read.. The file you are trying to flash is just a kernel not a whole rom. That's why your phone after the flash has a JB kernel and ICS rom. That's why the phone does not boot. To upgrade to JB, download a stock rom from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin the same way just in PDA of Odin.

Sorry about the read. =)
Was thinking I'd rather be complete than have anyone helping need to ask more clarifications to help me. =D
Oh that's why. Thanks for the reply. I will do that.
So I need to get the WHOLE ROM from the site you mentioned. A ROM that is complete, Kernel and all. Actually I thought I did get a complete ROM. Did not realize it was just a Kernel. What would be the best way to determine if a ROM is complete? What is usually the size of the file itself? The one I downloaded was like 8MB so I thought that was pretty big. Kinda looked for awhile for that XXLT6 original JB ROM so didn't stop to think if it was just a Kernel. My bad.
By the way, are the ROMs on Sammobile rooted? Or do I need to root them?
thanks again!

They are just stock roms, to root again use the philz kernel but for jb this time. Also use the .zip this time instead of tar file, you can flash the zip file from stock recovery itself. You can raed more in philz kernel thread

Got it, thank you Sirs you've all been a very big help. I ran into some issues with TW right after completing the install of 4.1.2. Every darn thing was stopping even acore and TW. Was about to chicken out and go back to my safety ICS ROM when I got to read some stuff about needing to Clear/Reset on Recovery mode after any firmware flashing as well as Clearing the Cache so I did. And voila, it worked. I think I'll rest my worrying brain for now on the root. =P
I'll root it next week. I'll just have fun with it for now. Been up playing around with this for over 24hours now. Having too much fun but already drained.
Thank you again for you help!

same situation here...!!!
hello XDA ppl...
I had ICS 4.0.4 and attempted to use PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0.tar.md5.
That took me to the same situation I think... kernel for JB and ICS ROM...
I power on my phone and it gets to a GT-N7000 Note + Yellow Triangle screen and NO MORE!
I can get to PhilZ Recovery Mode or ODIN Download Mode.
That´s all...
I will attempt right now what you told the creator of this thread and update if it helped.
any help is welcome...

FIXED!!!
AWESOME!!!
My bot is back again!!!
Thanks a lot guys...
This thread worked as a charm. :victory:
1. Odin 3.0.X
2. Factory Firmware
3. Flash it as PDA.
4. No yellow triangle.
5. Removed battery and waited 5 seconds.
6. recovery mode.
7. clear data/factory reset.

Safest way to get to JB with wipe (that is formatting) is to get philz kernel for ICS and then reboot to recovery do factory reset and wipe /system /data /internal storage /cache and then reboot to download mode and flash JB from odin. Else if you dont want to loose data, just boot into download mode and flash JB using odin.

I extracted the file from the 4.2.2 stock system dump and replaced it.
it has a different sha1sum than what was on the device but still i get the same error when sideload the 4.4.3 zip
got error "status 7" when sideload : "/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents."
can anyone extract the stock debuggerd file so i can replace at (/system/bin) ?

Why are you making your life more difficult than you need? Just flash this odin package and be done with it.

Hi there. I have I S4 9505g. I'm not rooted and fully stock. Can I use Odin with this system image to get root. I have experience with rooting and flashing just new to this device. I'm assuming that I have to go through and root first then put twrp on. Thanks

Yes you may. You'll need to install SuperSU from the app store before or after flashing this, but, the su binary is up to date (1.99r3) and ready to go.
Also you could just flash twrp with ODIN before rooting. Either way, this will fix you up.

Thanks man. Yea, this one took a couple hours longer to post than I'd have liked because of changes they made to the scripts. I had to re-architect my build odin script to reconcile the changes. But the modems, recovery, and full images are all posted. Not too shabby considering it was literally one day after the Nexus devices got their factory images.

My phone is rooted, and I installed Xposed framework. How do I install 4.4.3 without losing everything?
With Odin you lose everything right?

You won't lose your data. But it will overwrite your system partition, yes. You don't have a lot of options if you wanna get to 4.4.3 with the current environment you have on your phone. ODIN is pretty much it.

It is better to do a wipe data, to do a clean install? I'm afraid that Xposed and its modules can cause problems.

Don't know. I don't use xposed at all. Personally if it were me I'd flash it, see if it boots...if not, factory reset it and start over. But I'd at least try to boot it up without wiping data first. I go out of my way in all my utils to make it so users don't have to wipe data so you never know....it could work.

I've updated all my ODIN TAR threads to make it COMPLETELY clear what EVERY step is as it seems it was too difficult to follow.

Thanks. With MJ gone, you are the last Samurai for all i9505g users. We all depend on you now.:good:
Anyway to disable the System Update notification nag? I was using 4.4.2 Automanager, unchecked SystemUpdate but still no luck...

Should be able to freeze the updater apk whatever the file is. I don't know it off the top of my head but look through them and you should find it.

Thanks. If I wasn't headed out to dinner I'd have it done sooner. Man ART really takes a long time after an update to rebuild the binaries. LOL! But ART is definitely the way to go. Especially in light of the revelation that it's default in Android 5.0.

As promised, full image is up. Enjoy!

Looks like I got the OTA update today. Will it not work since I am rooted from your last full restore for 4.4.3?

It'll work fine if you've not modified anything. I sideloaded it while rooted.

I must be blind because I'm not seeing it I am on 4.4.3 but modified.

Yes you are missing it. The little link that says full rooted. Don't know what to tell you.
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk

Would you mind posting link please?
Nvm. It is not under the full rooted header but instead the downloads header

Worked like a charm even with CWM and Xposed
Samuri, I am so, so grateful that you keep us updated on the I9505G! Thank you!
Just in case anyone else finds themselves in the same situation as me, I had used Samuri's previous Full Rooted Restore for 4.4.3 with ODIN (here), then installed CWM Recovery (via Heimdall) and installed the Xposed framework. Obviously I could not use the OTA update directly! But using ODIN to get this 4.4.4 image worked just fine.
My steps, in case anyone wants it spelled out:
Uninstalled Xposed framework from within the installer just to be safe. Settings are not removed. This step is likely unnecessary, but can't hurt
Used ODIN to flash the full 4.4.4 rooted image, verified working and rooted
Re-installed CWM via Heimdall. (When rebooting, CWM asks if you want to fix root. Yes)
Re-installed Xposed and rebooted -- previous Xposed settings reactivated with no problems
There were some nandroid backups made along the way as well of course, just to be safe.
The only place I had an issue, this time and the previous time, was finding the right Samsung USB drivers. The ones on the Samsung website are ridiculously out of date and a lot of the links I found were broken or suspicious. Maybe a good driver link is something that can be added to these posts, for people who are starting fresh?
Anyway, thanks again!

I had a link to ODIN and the samsung driver but the site I linked to was serving up malware so I pulled them. I'm hosting my own ODIN link now and I don't have the latest Samsung drivers. I wonder if sammobile has them. I bet it does.

If I uninstall root, will the phone still get the next OTA?
I'm pretty sure, but wanted to be 100% sure. Couldn't find a stock image that I could flash via Odin that wasn't pre-rooted.

Nor will you find a stock ODIN image that isn't rooted because Samsung doesn't release them for us. I have to manually create them. Root and the OTA have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I routinely flash OTA's on mine while rooted. Half the time I don't even lose root by doing so. Whether you choose to leave it or remove it won't have any impact on receiving the next OTA.

Yeah, I noticed the dedicated ODIN link. Thanks for that! Last time around I had a bugger of a time finding 3.09 without malware.

So I found out while I was on vacation. sigh. The site I was linking to had a malware infected version apparently. I've been using this version without issue for quite some time. It came from this site with all the versions included.

Custom kernel via odin?
Your image worked perfectly; thank you.
Have you ever run across a way to get a custom kernel as a flashable Odin image?
Looking for the alucard kernel..
Thank you sir for any information that you might have.

I imagine you could make a flashable odin image from it. There are some ODIN image tutorials/guides out there that you could follow. I have no experience with that personally.

Do you have a non-rooted version for the US I9505G. I need to return to stock as I have attempted to use "unroot", but Good for Enterprise is still saying my phone is rooted.

PB1 February security update posted.

Really appreciated you keep updating this,

^,^
Looks like there is a secret stash for i9505g I will install on my m919 using only system and cache will report back here soon) peace
And keep updating us brother peace!!

There are people out there who maintain roms for other devices by using these ODIN images. They work just fine, but, I do not support them in any way other than posting the images here. I'd prefer to keep this thread specific to the 9505g, however. Otherwise it could confuse people and I don't want anyone on a non-9505g device trying to flash these ODIN images thinking it might work cause it ill brick them. I get what you're going to do, but, others may overlook it.

The original PC1 image was bad. I just now replaced it with a new image, so if you downloaded it before this post was made, redownload it.

This does not include the bootloader?

No, I don't include the bootloader in the image. It's never really been needed for most people.

Great work as always Sam will fix updated version for s4

Hi Samuri! Since the may update has appear in my mobile, have you available the correspondent update image?
Cheers

Nope. I've yet to see the update. Once I can get ahold of it, I'll make the image.

PE1 is up now.

I have a problem on all gpe roms, my mobile data never turns off!
After i switch off lte connection it comes back in just a second

No idea.

PF1 is up now, great! Thanks for another release @SamuriHL, my I9505 can still keep going.

You're very welcome. Enjoy!

Yea these are taken directly from the S4 GPE and created. No bloat other than what Google adds to the images.

better than any custom rom ?
