I alredy tried this method to split 5830 firmware but it didnt success. I dont know if it's just me.

Hello,
its possible to save a exe file to more links. This link for download its a exhausted.
Thank you and good work.

Will this fix a hard-bricked Ace? Like one bricked by Rom Manager?

I think this will only work with soft bricks and nothing more than ROM spliter which splits one package rom to 5 file format.
I have also faced this situation myself once i had also soft bricked my phone and was trying to flash one package rom(sammobile.com) and found got to it doesn't work. in the end flashed 5 file format rom via odin and resurrected my phone

limited banwitch
please miror

Thanks Guy

Have you tried? I already try splitting xme package for my friend's s5830 but it failed.

Hey guys i'm trying to unbrick my phone and odin is stuck on "setup connection". Anyone had the same issue?
I don't know if the drivers are installed and i don't know how to install them. This might be a lead.

Install Samsung Kies to guarantee the drivers are installed. Then never use Kies for anything.

please help,green line on the screen

hi,
last night i connect my ds7 to the computer and in the internal memory was a file named 'driver.rar' i deleted the file and disconnect the device.
since i disconnect,there is a green line in the screen.i reboot the device,formate,factory reset..nothing..still a green line
i dont think is a hardware problem
i need your help

Need more info. What ROM are you on? Have you done a factory reset?

yes i did
nd im on 3.2

Flash a custom ROM, if it doesn't help, then you have a bad display.

are you sure?everything started since i deleted the driver.rar from the internal sdcard

It's a concidence, android cant even read rar files without downloaded apps.
You can make a blank file named driver.rar and it cant tell the difference

I dont want to install custom rom
can i reinstall 3.2?
How can i be sure that is a bad display?

i think you dont understand me.
i removed "drivers.rar" from the root dir
i searched how can i root my device and i found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411193
and in step 6:he ask me to copy the drivers.rar but i remove it and since i removed i have a green line...

Step #6 asks to copy Drivers.zip not Drivers.rar, there is a difference. Like TheManii states, a DS7 can't read a "rar" file, only a special app made for that purpose can.
I don't have any "rar" files on my DS7 but do have such files on my PC.
Drivers.zip is a folder that comes with a new DS7 although there a few that claim that it didn't.

Its a coincidence. Trust us.
You can tell if its a bad display if by after a factory reset you still see it or if you install a custom ROM and still see it.
If you aren't going to listen to us, when three people have answered your question, why are you here?:highfive:

i cant install custom rom cuz i do not have the "driver" in step 6
factory reset didnt work
please help...
by the way
just now i understand that i did factory data reset and not factory reset

update
i install cm9 rom and still have a green line on the screen
even in the recovery..
what can i do?
why the line comes?

1) Replace the screen yourself, somehow.
2) Send back to Dell.
3) Sell it on eBay noted with a bad screen for parts.
4) Just give up.

EFS help

Hello,
if anybody is able to share his EFS, please share it. I've tried modifying many "nv_data.bin" sample files but I couldn't get the IMEI to show something in any case. CVXCVX tried to repair my phone with his tools but still, no success.
I desperately need to fix my N7000 so please try to help somehow. For more info, please read the thread from my signature.

It seems that app won't work if your EFS is lost without a backup. I haven't tried it though.

Bother this section is for Development section, Please post query, help and other questions in Q&A section.

this can only be repaired with a special JTAG,same that can fix soft bricks.this jtag can rewrite the imei.dont try other methods,this is the only one working.start looking for a service with this tool.here in romania costs about 10 euros....
Sent via N7000 from Asylum CM 10.1, madness at it's finest!

Thread owner should have mentioned that he bought a new eMMC chip and had it soldered on the MB (he hints at his project where this was discussed).
So all the normal possible solutions didn't work.
So maybe something went wrong when soldering.
Or if using a new eMMC chip on a Samsung board this needs some special "initialization" of the chip.
Or each chip has an hard coded IMEI inside, so that using backups or the polish repair with the old IMEI won't work.
(Added an answer here because I think the thread soon will moved to Q&A)

Have you tried the method described in this thread? Hidden Menu enabler tool + IMEI restore method

just find an early rom which has efs. img and flash through odin. It will give you what you need, except for original emei. That you can get Samsung or Polish way
edit, finding that rom will be difficult, but its out there
edit here it is
http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3136
It will change your csc, but you can change that by flashing the csc file of your rom of choice, then the *#272*youremei# dial. Note do this on safe kernel only

I have tried installing a 2.3.6 ROM but I still had no IMEI. Maybe the ROM didn't had efs file like the one you've mentioned. I'll try it so thanks anyways...

yeah flash efs file after flashing the rom separately. Set clear efs to yes.
all at own risk
let me know how it goes

After searching a lot about how to replace my splash Boot Screen. The extracting of param.bin from BL stock file and finally i found a flashable zip which works perfect for mY T817T Tmobile S2.
All you have to do is open the zip with winrar or 7zip. i used 7zip to replace logo.jpg file with a 1536x2048 jpg file of your choice and flash the zip via TWRP. Thats it
Now only thing i am in search of is a 1536x2048 Boot Animation for my Tab S2. I have shared the original Samsung Tab S2 Splash Boot Screen and also a modded one below see also screenshot below

Yes , its dangerous if u flash param.bin of other phone , its only logo.jpg
Did u realize and download and see that the zip file contains only one logo.jpg NOT param.bin??

Yes I know the zip is safe but one wrong move and you could be screwed. Param contains the graphics for DL mode as well, so you won't be able to get into DL mode without param working properly.
I wasn't telling you not to do anything here, just be uber-careful. You probably already knew this though

T813 may have different param.lfs location (maybe not /dev/block/mmcblk0p8) or different logo name.
Can anyone with the T813 model take a look under /dev/block/ to get the right folder name ?

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help ;)

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help
Hi guys,
Please help me fix my Note 5!!!
Quick background story:
Bought it on ebay "As Is". Guy said it got stuck while using Samsungs smart switch software. Phone still has intact Knox ("0") so warranty is intact.
But I dont want to take the warranty exchange route yet. It is on 6.0.1 PD2 or PH2 (i forget, I am at work at the momemnt) because thats what smart switch says
that it is going to restore.
Things I have done: (Used multiple cables, using Win10)
- Tried Emergency restore via Smart Switch. -- No success. It says something like cant restore.
- Used Odin 3.7 & 3.12.6 to flash stock PD2 or PH2 firmware. Odin flashes the rom now (it wasnt earlier) and when the phone reboots it stays at "Samsung Logo" and
doesnt move on.
- Cant get to recovery. It just does nothing when holding the buttons.
- I can only get to Download screen.
So, I dont know what to do now. I was able to get my previous note 5 working by using odin but this one is just stuck.
I would really appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

Forgot to mention that FRP is Locked

Hi,
So I tried going to the link and unfortunately it did not work . The software to repack the (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) does not work for some reason. Tried using 7zip, but I cant find a way to combine the 3 img files into .tar files. What am I missing here?
Spent another 3 hours after work today fiddling with this . The wife is def not happy.
Any other suggestions?
Plzzz help a guy out.

You can try to install TWRP recovery by odin. Boot into download mode then connect your phone to the computer. Once done you will need to download some files which will install the recovery by odin. Next hold the volume up, power, and home button until twrp recovery comes up then connect the storage to your pc and install a custom rom and hopefully this might fix it. This will void warranty so do this at your own risk.
