NE3 (kitkat) which is easily rootable, which you can then go to lollipop (and keep root) easily enough from there, should you wish. MF1 is ancient, no wonder it's giving you issues.
Even if you don't need or want root, go with NE3. It's the most stable of the recent builds, and from there you can either stay on kitkat or easily upgrade to lollipop, with or without root.

DON'T use kies. Trust me on that. The download link you asked for. Extract all four files and use all four concurrently with Odin should look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would strongly recommend using Odin v3.09 if you aren't already, I have it for you if you need. Yes I realize the picture shows 3.07 but trust me I've done this a million times

Alright I'm gonna do it right now hopefully no errors occur I'm gonna post to tell you what happens

Oh! I should mention, when you do this, your phone will automatically reboot on its own a couple times, and one of those times will be to the stock android recovery. This is completely normal, just leave your phone alone and let Odin do its thing. I say this because I've seen so many people freak out when their phone starts doing stuff on its own. Just let Odin go, it knows what it's doing. Good luck!

ClockworkMod Recovery for Galaxy S (BETA BEWARE)

WARNING: From koush' IRC channel it seems this version may be (permanently?) bricking devices.
At the time of this writing only a single working flash has been reported, and several (full?) bricks.
--Chainfire
I just finished my recovery for Galaxy S. This requires some testing before I do the final release.

Initramfs source: http://github.com/koush/i9000-leshak-initramfs/tree/koush
Installation instructions:
Install Odin3 v1.0 (MAKE SURE THIS IS THE VERSION YOU USE)
Start Odin3
Press PDA
Select the tar file (do NOT extract)
Start phone into download mode.
Press START to flash.
After 20 seconds or so, phone should automatically reboot.
Please join #koush on irc.freenode.net to report bugs. I can't check all 4 XDA threads
Awesome . I might just buy this phone now !!
Will this work on the vibrant too?
is it just me or does Odin3 not have a PDU button? better instructions please!?!?!
what exactly does this do?
I think he means press the "PDA" button for step 3. Becuase I have Odin3 version 1.0 and there is no "PDU" button.
Neither does 3.95

Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
I am not so new, send me the link and I will post it.
How about a quick rundown of what this and app and Odin do? I can guess, but a little more info would help us new comers.
Thanks!
Successfully flashed. nandroid backup just finished, got an error on the MD5 generation. Also the settings for the orientation sensor seems to have reset so the phone is always trying to switch to landscape.

Opiate, not sure if this helps or not. I did a google search for
Odin_Multi_Downloader_v3.98.exe (if this is not the same as odin3 let me know and i will delete this post to not confuse others)
and i found a megaupload of the file. dont know if it's the newest or not but figured you could start there.

DON'T USE THAT ODIN PACKAGE. It is for older Samsung devices. It must say Odin3 v1.0 and not 3.98 or 4.30.
Here is Odin3 v1.0 for everyone

What i8190 version have you got. Regular or N/L version?
Have you tried stock rom with odin yet?
If you did use odin, did you flash stock recovery first, or was it included in the firmware package?
i have regular version

Try go to servicemenu. Somewhere in there there's a choice to restore/rebuild NV_Data. Don't know if it works, but it might be worth a try

I don't have stock rom now so I can't guide you through the whole menu, but lets get you started..
First open up dialpad and enter *#0011#
A screen with RF status or something will appear.
Now use your menu-key to bring up some uptions and choose "back".
Now I don't remember if that will take you to default servicemenu or if you have to go back one more time using the menu-key once again.
Anyway..I think option to restore NV_Data is somewhere under the debug menu..
You'll have to browse the menus back and fourth, couse I can't remember where it is exactly. I just know it's in there somewhere
when i pushed nv rebuild :
MENU NOT EXIST
PRESS BAC KEY
Current command is 3335
omg i didnt thought that such small drivers update is such a pain in a**
by now i have no more ideas how to bring back my baseband from XXXX to normal
but as i think modem.bin is responsible for that
DAMN!
So whats missing?
Do you have root so you can look for /modemfs & /efs-folder?
thread closed
tys0n RESPECT :good:
worked nv rebuild at 2nd time
phone said - rebuilded, pls restart.
again MEGA thnx
GREAT!
Can you please add [solved] in the title?.

[Q] HELP! Galaxy Tab Boot Loop

Please help! My Galaxy Tab is in a pickle!
My Galaxy Tab is SHW-M180S from South Korea, and it is rooted via a Custom Rom ( http://jctool.tistory.com/m/post/view/id/133 ) by using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057050
It's been 2 weeks since I rooted it and then just yesterday, it suddenly Crashed (which happens at least once a day) so I rebooted it, but instead of normally going into my lock screen, it just loops. It's been 3 hours of this madness.
So, in desperation, I entered the Stock System Recovery (I do not have CWM installed), wiped the data and cache and rebooted. Now, it doesn't loop, but it's stuck on the SKT Logo (My carrier). Just there. This is where I am now.
From here, I can still enter the System Recovery and Download Mode. It still charges etc. Odin can read it.
Please help, I don't know what to do!
Anyone?!

Unfortunately, I don't. And I might sound like a noob, because I am, but I don't know how to download the stock ROM from the samsung site you gave me. All I can open is the PDF in Korean. But I got the Kernel.
After that, my next "big" problem will be what do I do with this ROM and Kernel? Sorry, I really am just a total noob and I don't know much of Odin, Flashing etc. So please help me. Thanks in advance.

What do I do? I flashed Kernel via Odin, but it's still stuck on bootloop. I still haven't used the ROM from Samsung yet because I don't know how to use it. Odin (via PDA) can't see it. It's a ZIP file, not a TAR or MD5 file. If I unzip it, all that comes out are a bunch of files. Please help.

I would say, start your download again and see what you get. I don't have too much confidence in what they posted because they have MG5 firmware attributed to AT&T when it should be Telcel. Let me know how everything turns out.

Verizon 5G S10 will not update firmware/security patches, is it because of current FW

The Firmware I am on is G977UVRU0ASDG
I tried to update OTA and update assistant for PC and both failed saying this firmware cannot be updated. So I am really confused. Can someone confirm any further info about this firmware version? I enjoy the phone and I decided one day to check why I haven't gotten Android 10, and thus this is where I am now.
Also is it as simple as flashing the latest firmware via odin? If so, which site offers a dependable VZW firmware I can try flashing? Can I keep my files or would I have to make a backup first, flash via odin, then restore (which I hate to do because setting up a new phone takes so much time).
But most importantly I am curious to know more about this firmware version and what it is! Seems like VZW doesn't think its theirs. Thank you in advance.
Smartswitch says SDG, what is SDG? Is there a simple refresh/fix so that I can get OTA updates? Please help!

yeah, there were actually some crazy gestures that i noticed they got rid of in the FW i got it to upgrade to. LOL.
I'm having similar issues with the same firmware. Did you ever find a way to update your phone? I bought mine on ebay, supposedly NIB, but it came in generic packaging and said "demo" on a sticker on the back of the phone.
