You must never wipe modem,efs as these are crucial files for the phone to work properly...
Try to go back to GB (gingerbread) and use .pit file and check repartition box.

which version do you have regular I9070 or I9070P?
are you using odin v1.85 to go back to GB?
did you go into download mode before start flashing the firmware?
did you ever check flash lock box when you flashed( which must NEVER be ticked under any circumstances)

[Q] Samsung Galaksy S i9000 BIG PROBLEM

Hello,
I have galaksy S and i had firmware 2.3.3 updated throuh KIES. Everything worked fine until couple days ago. When i turned on phone it said that i have to clear cache and EVERY PROGRAM HAD AN ERROR ...process has stopped working etc. etc. I cant do anything with it. I Flashed it with 2.3.5 SAME THING i flashed it with almost all firmwares SAME THING. I did master reset and hard reset couple of times in 3 different ways and after rebooting phone ALL APPS STYS AND ALL DATA STAYS FROM BEFORE ofcourse non of the apps work. I have to go to service and use waranty for it but is there any help?! I googled the problem found a lot of topics which had totaly the same problem and the guys didnt know what to do. I did everything but nothing worked. I appreciate any help. Thanks for the answers you are my last chance!

This may sound stupid but you didnt say athing about it.... Did you actually clear cache?
Start the phone with 3 button combo (vol up + home + power) you will enter recovery menu, select wipe cahe there
Yes i did all of the above. I tried clearing the cache wiping data/factoriy reset over recovery mode. I tried factori reset through OPTIONS/PRIVACY and i tried factory reset through keycode *# etc....
Did you flash through Odin? What settings did you use?

Yes. I flashed through the Odin a couple of times with couple of settings. Settings were mostly RE-PARTITION checked, AUTO REBOOT CHECKED AND F. RESET TIME checked. That is it.PDA, PHONE and CSC files includeed in firmware afcourse. With pit file. One question. What is the difference between pit 512 and 803? Which pit did i have when i bought the phone?
I personally would remove sd card and sim card ( MAKE SURE YOU DO AS IT WILL WIPE THEM), boot to recovery using the 3 button method, mounts and storage, format/sdcard then wipe cache, factory wipe then pull the battery off, boot to download connect to odin and do a new flash using a pit 512, PDA,PHONE and CSC. This should stick your phone back to almost factory depending on what version of android you flash. If you want a good customizable rom with fantastic battery life, then I recommend the galaxydroid 3.3, (not the 4.0 as you lose half of the toys)

One more question. If i do what you told me to do and i revert to Firmware 2.1 will i be able to use waranty nad told them that i didn't touch the phone firmware or am i in deep s**t?!
resolve
Did you resolve your problem?
If not, did you try to flash it via ODIN or heimdall?
NOT SURE
Hi, I want to ask you all if i do all of the above firmware flashing etc.. will i be able to use waranty after that if flashing doesn't works for me?
Well if you flash a stock firmware for your region they won't be able to tell any difference.
You made mi day man! Greets bud!

Fussy GT-S5830

Hello all. I'm having trouble with a galaxy ace, in that it seems very fussy about which ROMs it will run. Bought it about 6mo ago from Optus Australia on prepaid and unlocked it to use on another network. I tried at the time to upload a custom ROM, but failed and ended up having to re-load it with Odin 4.38 and the only images I could then find, which are these:
APBOOT_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
CODE_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
CSC_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03_user_low_true.tar.md5
MODEM_S5830XXKPH_CL260130_REV03.tar.md5
Just recently the device has been unstable so I looked around and found the stable CM 7.2 ROM recently released (cm-7.2.0-cooper.zip) so I grabbed that, installed CWM 5.0.2.6, ran a backup and tried to install it. Device only got as far as the black boot screen with the word Android in uppercase doublespaced and hung.
Booted back into CWM and tried to restore, got the MD5 checksum error. Fixed the nandroid.md5 and tried again, and the device then hung at the initial boot screen for the stock rom (says Samsing Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 or similar).
Back to Odin. Found a recent version (4.42) and a one package ROM, S5830XWKT7_S5830OPPKS6_S5830XWKT3_HOME.tar.md5 and loaded this to the handset. This one gives me an Optus spashscreen followed by the sort of pulsing SAMSUNG text in an infinite loop.
Eventually tried the flasher and ROM I used six months ago (at the top of the thread) and was able to get the phone to boot successfully. Reinstalled the rooting package, reinstalled CWM5 and managed to restore just data out of the advanced backup/restore menu.
So I'm back to where I started, only six hours worse off Has anyone got any idea why this isn't working for me, or any good suggestions of how to proceed?
Cheers,
Alex
Are you sure you are using the GT-S5830 and not the Gt-S5830i ?
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace.
damn, that would be a stupid mistake
No, I'm not absolutely positive. The sticker under the battery says GT-S5830, but from a look at google images the two handsets appear identical? How can I establish for sure?

Use Odin 4.38, download any one package firmware from sammobile with your backup's android version (ie 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or whatever).
Flash it, wipe everything after Flash (from stock recovery), then root, install cwm and restore your backup.
Boot loops are mostly caused when you don't wipe after flashing. Connection issues can be fixed by flashing your region's modem.
Also, restore backups using the appropiate cwm version (backups of cwm5 restore with cwm5)
Cheers. Dunno if I'm being a bit simple here, but I'm only finding 10 most recent FWs here, all of which are 2.3.6 ?
I didn't do as much wiping as you suggest last time though, so i'll give it another whirl and see if I do any better.
I was being simple. Hadn't selected a region.
trying now.
Flash DXKPB 2.3.4 Asian firmware first. If you flash that, it will format all of your partition back to rfs
And after that you can just flash newer firmware like XWKT7 2.3.6 and wipe data. Voila!

To restore a stock rom your file systen to rfs !!!
And all custum rom are ext4!!
Meaning ... Use stock recovery to wipe data causing the system to become rfs again then install cwm and ONLY !!! Restore ! Otherwise if u format it will convert to ext4 again !
U can also use chainfire ext4 app to change file system in jellaxy and then restore.
Take care

actually was on the stock ics and tried to install kingdroid by CWM.zip
and wiped data and cache from touch/temporary cwm..
then after install it got stuck on the first screen...
since then have tried to flash stock ics / gb firmwares but not getting past the first screen
first of all, make sure you don't make some foolish steps in wiping your phone., secondly, try to uninstall cmpletely PC kies and reinstall it again after. Once you've reinstalled that, don't open it, just open PC ODIN and try to boot back your phone in download mode. Make sure you have a yellow box on COM:1 in ODIN and use an extracted stock GB tar file and start flashing again.
EDIT: Since you've just mentioned you already wipe data in stock ICS.. are you using a safe kernel when you did the wiped?
if not, you may have toasted your Note.. imho...
it can take 5 to 10 mins after install to start however if it still goes no further and you can get into recovery can you flash any custom kernal,if you can do so then wipe and try to reflash if not i would ask dr ketan as he is awesome and may be able to help
^ No need to wait for that, as OP has already done a stupid thing of wiping on a touch CWM.. something that shouldn't be done at all....
only thing he can do is go to the section for the pit method partition to revive his phone... that's it!

but sadly the stock recovery is not accessing my memory card files and only internal sd and it has no option to mount storage ..
how to access the files i put in my memory card.. or should i flash some other ics stock rom as they have more options in stock recovery ??
no need to aggravate the problem by flashing another ICS... your Note's been bitten already.. don't let it bite twice...
Your last rom flashed is KL3 then have you wipe cache and data from recovery?
If not then do it, it should boot then.
Make sure last rom was flashed correctly and u are currently on KL3
If you have to press home button in recovery to enter your choice then it should be gb (kl3)rom (on ics you need to press power to select)
If wiping cache and data also not work, then flash wipe version of gb rom. If it stuck at data.img then yu have got damaged and should send to service Centre, without doing anything

[Q] unable to install stock rom

After Rooting n using safe kernel, I was on RocketRom V3 and last week i updated to Ultimate Rom 5.1 JB and phone was working awasome, and then i tried to install awasome Beats throught CWM but i was not able to install it. then i again tried to install photo sphere through CWM but again same problem, when i select zip from SDCARd, after selecting nothing happens, so i thought CWM is corrupted and then i tried to restore the backup (rocketrom v3) but same thing happened, unable to even restore the backup so i was sure there's problem with CWM.
So i decided to to flash stock rom via PC ODIN and i installed stock rom N7000XXLPT, build number IML74K.XXLPY , android ver. 4.0.3.
after flashing, phone got stuck on samsung screen so i rebooted into recovery and wiped data factory n cache (i knw i was not supposed to do this but thr was no other option) and after wiping phone booted normally but i got many errors... unfortunately settings has stopped, unfortunately file manager has stopped, unfortunately software update has stopped has stopped etc etc.....
then i tried to install another stock rom (latest november) but now i m not even able to flash rom through PC ODin, FAIL... FAIL error with tht red color ...
So what could be done to get back to normal stock rom ?? Plzzz Help
is it stuck on factoryfs ?
if so, theres a big chance that doing the wipe caused the brickbug and only re-partition will fix it and bring it back to life.
before doing that, try to flash stock GB and see if it boots, if so, boot into recovery and do the wipes there, stock GB kernels are safe from the brickbug.

YEs, it stuck on factoryfs and the FAIL msg appears with REd background.
phone boots with many FCs and i mnot able to see any SDCARD, so its EMMC brick bug,
i guess i ll need to use PIT file method to revive from a MMC_CAP_ERASE brick

Confirmed. Apologies. Notes once you repartition, there's a chance you won't be able to run full Roms with a larger file size due to damaged sections, you'll likely face fc's and freezes. After repartition look to cm based Roms as they take up less space and should work ok.

[q] galaxy note froze during a jelly bean upgrade. Internal memory corrupt. Bricked?

hey guys
my sister was attempting to flash a jelly bean rom on her galaxy note which was running a stock ICS rom at the time and it froze during the process it froze.
it now shows a yellow triangle and refuses to boot.
i attempted booting into recovery and flashing a new rom.
i tried to do a full wipe first, but the phone freezes. i booted into recovery mode again and cleared the cache. however when i tried to wipe the davlik cache, i got an error message but it proceeded anyway.
when i try to go ahead and flash the new rom it fails.
i suspect the internal memory is corrupt. what should I do?

You might be able to repartition the device with Odin, you will have to wait for a more experienced member of XDA though, I don't know all the steps to repartition the device andI wouldn't like to get your Note in worse condition. But even after repartitioning you will only be able to run slim ROM's - such as slim bean.

Thanks for the help. I'll try repartitioning. I don't know how so I'll google it. But even stock roms wouldn't run? and what's a slim rom?
Basically a very lightweight ROM. Slim Bean is only about 95MB + 25MB for the google apps which you have to flash too.
Here is a link to the ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060391
You might also be able to run slim versions of TouchWiz (that is the what you get from Samsung). SlimWizz is about 187MB but that will probably be too much.
That may be a softbrick "only". Are you able to get into Download mode? (Volume Down + Home + Power button) If so, you'll be able to flash an official ROM with PC Odin.
Out of curiosity, what procedure did you follow to flash your Jelly Bean ROM? Directly from the stock ICS recovery?

sorry for the late reply. i do not know how my sister tried to flash the jelly bean rom. there have been some interesting developments. i obtained a kernel which has enabled me to boot into recovery mode. the problem now is that the note recognises my internal sd as an external sd and vice versa! any help?

I guess you have flashed the Speedmod kernel/recovery. Then internal (emmc) and external (micro SDcard) are swapped (that's "normal"). So formatting emmc will format the external SD card and formatting external sd-card will format the internal storage. You just need to be aware of this (if you fear you might lose your data in your SD card, simply remove it from the phone before wiping).
Do a full wipe and then follow the procedure detailed in the thread of the ROM you want to flash. Or if you don't know what to do, just get into Download mode as I explained above and flash an official TouchWiz ROM through Odin PC (you can check Dr Ketan's thread here: everything is nicely detailed. Don't forget to hit the Thanks button on his first post as he's really helpful with people).

That sucks. It seems you've been a victim of the emmc_CAP_ERASE bug. It's a shame you don't remember how you came to this. Anyway, one of the best solutions in this situation is to send your Note to the service center. The problem here is you have that yellow triangle which will void your warranty (if you still have one). Unless someone has a better idea, I think you have 3 possibilities:
1) Use the PIT file method. That will partition your internal storage card. Don't hesitate to ask questions in the thread if you need. You'll find people to help you.
2) Use a JIG USB key to remove the triangle before sending your device to the service center for repair. You'll find one for a few euros on eBay.
3) Try the JTAG.
To be honest, I haven't tried any of these methods as I've always been careful when flashing stuff. Good luck!

i have managed to work around with this thread.. i had a soft bricked too..
Note: after using the pit files and succeeded, do not try to re-partition again specially when you already had 4.1.2
trust me.. youll end up in a hard brick..

I tried this and it worked! I repartitioned the internal memory and flashed a custom rom. I'm now running Cyanogenmod 10.1.
HOWEVER, the phone freezes randomly and sometimes would even be unable to boot into recovery mode so i have to start the whole process again. Any thoughts
