Okay it's been a good half a year since I've done this, but if ya have a Odin 3.10.7 that has BL, AP, CP and CSC when installing Stock firmware do I choose AP since PDA is no longer listed in Odin and is that the same for flashing TWRP too? Thanks
Okay yup after more google searching it is AP for both...

Hello everyone,
I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to validate my proposed procedure for installing the XXJPU I9000 ROM (with BELL UGJK3 Modem) on my Captivate.
I've spent many many hours pouring over the Captivate and I9000 forums, but I still wanted to have someone check over my procedure before I take the plunge.
My proposed procedure is:
Use the ODIN one-click to revert back to JF6 stock for Captivate.
Download the XXJPU package and 512 PIT from samfirmware.com
Download the Bell UGJK3 modem from this thread on XDA
Dowload xcaliburinhand's 2.2.1 I9000 reoriented kernel on XDA from here. I will download the non-Voodoo version.
Extract the XXJPU package, and copy out the TAR for the XXJPU PDA.
Download ODIN 1.3.
Start ODIN.
Reference the tar file for the XXJPU PDA in the PDA section of ODIN.
Reference the 512 pit file in the PIT section of ODIN.
Reference the Bell UGJK3 Modem tar file in the PHONE section of ODIN.
Make sure Repartion checkbox is checked (because I have more than just the PDA file).
Connect Phone using USB cable.
Restart Phone in download mode (I use ADB to do this).
Click Start to flash the PDA, PIT, and PHONE (modem) to the phone.
Restart the phone. When phone is at Welcome screen disconnect phone from USB.
Close ODIN. Start ODIN.
Reference the I9000 2.2.1 reoriented kernel in the PDA section of ODIN.
Do not check repartition.
Connect the phone to the computer via USB.
Put the phone into download mode again (using ADB).
Click Start to flash the I9000 2.2.1 reoriented kernel.
When Phone reboots, everything should be working.
In addition to validating this procedure, I was curious about CSC files and if I also need to flash one of these.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

this is all overly complicated.
take the modem that you want, and the kernel that you want and drop them into the clockwork flashable rom (there are a couple of them already made up on the i9000 boards). they go in the updates directory in the zip file.
i wouldnt use the odin version of jpu...i would go with a doc's custom or darky's
Hi, I got the JPY ROM from the thread in the general discussion, and any time i have tried to flash it onto my phone, the phone refuses to start properly. It just vibrates a couple of times and black screens.
I am using Odin 1.3 and PIT 512 for this as it says on SamFirmware.com.
Is this the ROM not working properly, or me doing something wrong?
Mate did you click repartition in odin?If you did then you SHOULDNT!!!!
Try to get in to recovery mod with the 3 button combo and make a factory reset if yo had NOT clicked repartition.
In case had HAD clicked repartition in Odin then i guess you ll have to download a foul stock firmware and flash it.Meaning a firmeare that has Modem and CSC files aswell and not only PDA file...
I'm just about to flash XXJPY and I was just wondering, do I have to unroot 'before' flashing the single file (pda) XXJPY or can I leave it as is..?? Does it make any difference..??
Thanks

nah you dont need to have it rooted to flash JPY.
I believe the JPY file in the general forum is just an upgrade / high level package which is why you dont tick repartition. Usually look for posts by Richthofen- hes the dude who converts it to mid level packages so you can couple it with a CSC and modem.
hi there same thing happened to me i updated this thru samsung kies im stock at black screen would factory reset make my phone work again? i need help please please please

I am already rooted so should I un-root before flashing or just leave it rooted..???
And also have SGS Battery Icon Mod installed, again does this have to be un-installed before flash or not..??
Can someone post a link to the right ROM that I can use to update using ODIN that will not result in existing data lost ? The one that I downloaded is a single tar file (Size - 298,890KB) that contains these files. If this is the right file, do i just specify the tar file in the PDA and uncheck repartition ?
modem.bin
param.lfs
zimage
cache.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
Hi,
Trying to unbrick my phone is driving my mind totally mad!
So far I have tried installing several CF roots with ODIN and tried to reflash the ROM with I9000XWJS3. All of them lead to no success, just a black screen and the phone vibrates every 10 seconds.
Trying to find information on this forum is easy.. but trying to put all those pieces of information together is somewhat impossible for me.
I am from the Netherlands and bought this SGS 2nd hand from someone who has rooted it. However I have no idea how that person has done that with which piece of software. I also have no idea what build number it currently has. However I do know there is no sim-lock, because the owner bought it from the KPN telecom provider and has no problems using a sim-card from T-mobile.
I am able to get into the download mode (3 button combo thingy) and Odin can successfully flash the ROM of my SGS.
Now what I need to know is which PIT, ROM, CSC, Modem files etc. I need to make this phone working again. Preferably I'd like to run it on Froyo 2.2.1 with Android market installed.
try downloading the firmwares from samfirmwares.com
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 download the firmware from here. preferably JM8 flash that thru odin with PIT and REPARTITION and that should do the trick. then you can flash over a new rom like JPY (2.2.1)
I've successfully unbricked my Galaxy with the 'Froyo ROM that does not brick' here - "h t t p://w w w.4shared.com/file/dJiyRz3v/EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA.html" (Can't post as actual link because I'm not allowed to yet, just copy and paste the bit between the speech marks into a new window and remove the spaces).
As per previous poster's instructions; flash through Odin as PDA with PIT and REPARTITION (Original instructions for this ROM said not to use repartition but that didn't work for me)
You should then be able to Odin flash any new rom you like, but when you do DON'T use REPARTITION or PIT, otherwise your phone will just get bricked again.
I feel that flashing the firmwares which needs partition is safer and better than those that isn't....for my case I prefer flashing JPU than JPY or JPX...it works every time I got my phone semi-bricked, hehe...
Hello,
Yesterday i had similar problem ater trying to flash Darky's resurrection edition.
After the boot i had a black screen just like you.
Here's how i finally unbricked:
Download
- PIT 803 file multiupload.com/6JX2LEUCTY
- I9000XWJS3 pakcage from samfirmware.com (european for my case), PIT803 version : hotfile.com/dl/100247999/301207f/I9000_XEN_I9000XWJS3.rar.html
(The pwd is samfirmware.com)
The package I9000 XEN I9000XWJS3 contains 3 file (which i think is the key, trying to repartition with only one PDA file seem to soft brick the phone)
In Odin, tick repartition, for PIT select the PIT 803 file
For PDA, choose I9000XWJS3-REV03-ALL-low-CL830616.tar.md5
For CSC, choose GT-I9000-CSC-XENJS3.tar.md5
For PHONE, choose MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5
After the flash, your phone will reboot in rescue, unplug it and do a wipe/factory reset, then reboot and you should be ok.
The goal was only to unbrick my phone, but i'm totally happy with this firmware for now, my phone is a lot faster than before, and i don't feel the need of a lagfix anymore!!
Please note that this is just my experience, and you should wait for more advanced users help.
This may be a dumb question, and I've looked around the forums, but can't find an answer.
I've downloaded KC1 for my Galaxy S, and the file I downloaded is I9000UGKC1_homebinary.tar
I looked inside the tar file and there is cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin, param.lfs, etc
How do I flash these with Odin?
Thanks
what is the file used for? is it a modem? kernel ?
Well, I downloaded the firmware file for KC1 for the i9000 from samfirmware.com
I was wondering how to upgrade my phone to that, but it only had the one TAR file (and not the PHONE, PDA and MODEM files that other firmwares have).
So i'm not sure how I'm suppose to flash it.
oh!
well you place the file in the PDA tab in odin, and flash away (while repartition is UNCHECKED)
As per the instructions on Samfirmware in regard to flashing with odin .

Thank You! I got stuck on that single file as well.
I have the att variant of the galazy s6 (SM-G920A) and after doing the ping pong root I tried installed TWRP from the app in the play store and it tripped knox and gave the unauthorized software screen. I downloaded the stock firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/odin-tar-files-sm-g920a-t3103835
to try and unbrick the phone. I've used Odin before but never with a download that has multiple tar.md5 files so I might be doing it wrong, but I tried putting just the ap file in the ap slot in odin v3.10.6 and that failed. I also tried putting all the tar.md5 files in their corresponding slots (bl, ap, etc) and it still failed. With the type of file in the link I posted, what should I be doing or what am I doing wrong. I really appreciate any help and want to get my phone working asap. Thanks.
