HI,everyone,
i have an problem about my 'I9000' ,it is korean version and type code is
'SHW-M110S' in krean,
i flash the rom 'jh1' by the tools 'odin',
and select "re-partition",but now the function of mobile is failed,
i can not call and sent sms.
the IMIE code can not be query,display :unknown:,
now i want to flah the korean M110S ROM "DH9",use odin.exe
but always display failed
counld anyone tell me how to do?
if use odin can do,how to set the pararmeter?
if i need to the pit file?which one?if need to re-partition?and so on.
tks a lot
Start Odin, tick re-partition, select 512.pit (do not select PDA, Phone, CSC or anything else).
Put phone to download mode and connect to pc.
Once Odin finds your phone (the first ID window turns yellow and shows COM ID), click start.
It takes up to ten minutes until Odin finishes (Pass! text appears), and phone will turn off automatically.
In Odin, press reset button and untick re-partition.
Remove the battery and insert it again.
Put phone to download mode and connect to pc.
Select the M110S-NPS-IMAGE-REV03-DH09-2002-USER.tar archive as PDA and press start. After Odin completes your phone will be booted and restarted in Online mode automatically.
I know most people flash .pit file at the same time with the ROM itself, but this way is described in Samsung service manual so I personally do it this way.
If your IMEI is unknown sounds that you have wiped your efs folder.
This happens when you select clear efs in Odin.
tks very much
i followed the method to do
but
after 'Select the M110S-NPS-IMAGE-REV03-DH09-2002-USER.tar archive as PDA and press start.' the odin display failed when process :modem.bin;
can you help me again for this problem?
tks and hoghly appreciation

Hi
I was trying to flash another ROM on my SGS, while having some bugs on CM7.
I formatted system, cahce and data, and did wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache.
I kept getting an error on flashing the new ROM, and accidently hit the "reboot system" while navigating around in CWM3.0.0.5. Now I can't get back to CWM with 3-button combo and got no ROM on my phone?
what to do? Wierd enough I can get into download mode
thanks in advance
PS: I normally use 3 button combo to get into CWM, and did this prior this episode
just flash via odin, with 3 files and re-partition.
that should work.

I'm not so farmiliar with Odin yet... tried it a couple of times, sticking strictly to a guide, that I cant find right now :S
Could you give me a quick tutorial in what to combinate .e.g.?
PIT? PDA? PHONE or CSC? And what is what?
I know I used to flash a radio with the PDA function...
thanks
you should flash a low level package means a 3 files PDA, MODEM and CSC.
i.e XXJPU which contains XXJPU_modem, OXAJPU_CSC, and XXJPU_Rev3_PDA. Now you should put the files according to the names (like PDA in PDA, Modem in Modem and so on). I usually use 512pit for re-partition.
You should not put modem in pda when flashing using odin, like i said before "put the files according to the names"
ps. Do not tick any other option except repartition, (F. Reset Time, and Auto-reboot) when going back to samsung ROM from CM7
Good Luck

Thanks a lot. You just managed to answer my next question at the same time as I was about to put it out (regarding check marks F. Reset Time, and Auto-reboot)... looks like it is going through now... The blue line is increasing anyway under the litthe android builder
thank you so very much
EDIT: God dang it Phone bootet up once again in original rooted firmware anf 3e recovery is back
Hmm... seems I was a bit to fast on the keyboard anyway
Followed "How to: flash firmware and kernels" from post #2 in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
I found a 512 pit from the link, where I also downloaded Odin. I chose the I9000XWJS3.7z from original firmware package (from the link), which included a .tar file, that I chose as PDA.
The phone boots up now, but when as it is about to show android UI, it starts to vibrate and the screen turns black, and menu button + back button light up continously.
I can get into 3e recovery know though, but is there a way to flash clockworkmod or another custom recovery via odin og 3e recovery? or could I try another combination of pit and PDA file ind Odin?
thanks again

You're in a bootloop. Try wipe cache partition and do a factory reset from recovery and then reboot.
If that doesn't work try a different firmware. A LOW LEVEL PACKAGE one, JPU for example.
Afaik, JS3 only had one file (and the new JS3 is using 803pit file, tho it comes with 3 files; for me 512 always gave the best result).
Edit : You need to use a correct pit file when flashing a firmware.

Just to make sure I got the last part right. 803pit is for JS3? but I can use 512pit instead?
where do I get 803pit? do you have a link?
Im downloading JPY and will test it, if 803pit og wipe doesn't work.
thanks for the response

God, you need to learn to listen/read. Use JPU, JPY is a single file.
Ps. Good luck though
~drz
Okay, I thought the name JPU/JPY determined which area it is fore?
Im downloading from here
https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galaxy S/Firewares , Updates and Odin/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU
but I cant seem to find JPU...
thanks for your help. Im a bit noobish regarding samsung... Its buy far not the same as HTC hehe
EDIT: Can't I just flash an original firmware with Odin, and it such case? Where do I find it. tried JPY, JS3 from above link, and get bootloops no matter what. Those files are downloaded from the sticky guide in general section, and I followed the guide. If I need to use JPU, where do I download it? all 3 files?
Right now, the phone just vibrates in intervals, but contiounsly, with back button and menu button light on
Yes, every firmware is for different region. But you need to get your phone to work first, right?
After that you can flash any firmware you want
You can download JPU from http://samfirmware.com or find a thread by BogdanSNB in general section.
Btw, Gingerbread is out

SOLVED
Finally got it to work with XJWM9 as PDA, XEEJM1 as CSC, XXJM4 as PHONE and 512pit file.
Hey guys i have followed the guides , i was putting on a stock rom for my phone to be sent back as a replacement. it failed half way through the flash when i upgraded the phone to 2.2

I can get back into recovery mode. I tried flashing it with the PIT PDA and CSC file. It fails constantly, i clicked re partition in one flash too it didnt work either. SO i am stuck. Any other suggestions?
Using odin 1.3 - It worked the multiple other times i flash it to different roms.
Maybe you're using Windows x64? try using another version of Odin, possibly 1.7 & make sure when you open it to go to the correct pit file & not the last one opened, also if the phone is going back do a wipe/factory rest too in recovery mode & then try reflashing with Odin, hope that helps.
Hi i used a windows XP machine with the same results. I did try 1.3 and 1.7.
is there another PIT file i can try? I downloaded a couple and neither worked.
I have no recovery anymore only download mode, the phone does not boot at all no phone -> computer icon.
Is the 512 PIT file the right one for the galaxy thought it was.
Have you tried redownloading the firmware? Or another source for the same firmware? Maybe its corrupt somehow. I know it is supposed to check the md5 but worth a shot. Or try an earlier version of your firmware, if it is for return they shouldn't care.
G
I have tried 3 - 4 different roms with all the same result, the phone was going back under a different issue (network related). It always fails at the same point from each rom.
Steps i have done.
1. pit file only (repartition)
2. pit pda and csc (512 pit , vodaAU stock rom, voda au csc)
3. standard stock rom (which worked) but doesnt now.
4. Darkys resurrection rom (failed same spot)
5. odin 1.3 and odin 1.7
6. windows 7 and windows XP
I am annoyed about this, the other times worked fine! Just went i went to send it back for replacement . boom failed.
I tried a more recent ginger rom, failed again act factory.rfs. It's almost like the internal SDcard is broken. This time it flashed modem.bin
Did you remember to turn off the lagfix before the first flash? If the file system is ext4 and you flash RFS then I think that you can have issues.
There is a way to fix it as I was on another thread today where that was the issue but I don't know if the error showed up in Odin for them.
Just another thought...
G
BTW I think in most cases odin will still flash OK even if SD card is cooked. We i9000m owners know way too much about that...
After google search you also might try 1) another odin or heimdall - personally I'd try heimdall at this point if I were you or EZ odin maybe? 2) You likely know not to have kies agent in the tray but hey worth mentioning 3)redownload drivers (which I'll guess that you've done too)
Hi mate ,
Yes i did disable lag fix before flash i kept the orig rfs file system did not convert to EXT4. I might try Heimdall.
After google search you also might try 1) another odin or heimdall - personally I'd try heimdall at this point if I were you or EZ odin maybe?
2) You likely know not to have kies agent in the tray but hey worth mentioning
All taskmanager escaped all the kies stuff, reinstalled kies as well.
3)redownload drivers (which I'll guess that you've done too)
Did this on two machines.
EZ odin fixed it. It booted i just put my providers CSC on it, im pretty sure they wont check the base band and rev number when they get it back.
Glad it worked!

Hello,
I have a friend with a Non-Rooted, totally stock Galaxy Ace s5830M that's stuck on a boot loop. He was playing a game and the screen started flashing and it rebooted. It is now stuck in a boot loop.
I've been able to get in to Stock Recovery and in to Download mode without issues.
We tried to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery. It apparently succeeds , but when we reboot it does not "stick". Flash CWM,reboot and it just shows the Stock recovery menu. I found this thread, regarding this issue.. But this phone is completely stock, bought on Amazon and shipped to Venezuela. I think it was running Gingerbread.
We then tried to flash to a Stock Firmware from my country from Sammobile.com with Odin.
Once a single file recovery ( a large file with a md5.tar extension) and it fails:

When we reboot the phone, we now get a boot screen that says the device is a S5830C instead of a S5830M. But it's still stuck on the Samsung logo at boot.
We really don't know what else to try. Any ideas? Is this phone bricked?
Thanks,
Rafael
Factory reset ur phone from recovery & wipe cache. Also, U need to place the individual firmware files at correct fields in odin (hope U did that) otherwise ur phone'll not be able to boot properly.
As far as I know there are four files (BOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC) in full package & only one file (of extension:- tar.md5) in One Package firmware...

The S5830i, S5830C, S5830M and S5839i are the same aka cooperve.
The only difference is the region, this version of Odin works with S5830M too!
Anyway, this rom you flashed is from Brazil, and works with your phone too. Try a wipe data/factory reset on recovery, this maybe works.
You should have a look at S5830i Development and S5830i General, there you will find more answers about your phone.

Hi Rafael. OK, I have made a detailed how to in Taringa that specifies the way to install a Stock ROM for SGA GT-S5830M. Just search in google "tutorial flashear samsung galaxy ace 5830m con odin - Taringa!" (without quotation marks) and enter the first result, it would redirect you to my post, check that the name of the creator is "jhonaff", if so, just download the files from there, and flash them via Odin 1.85 or 1.87. In the post there is a link to download the version 1.85, this version of Odin is the one that works perfectly with this device. Following that steps I gave life again to my SGA 5830M.
After you download, unzip the files in the S5830M.rar archive, you will get three .tar.md5 files; now put the files in the following order in Odin:
BOOTLOADER -> leave this section empty.
PDA -> select the PDA file.
PHONE -> select the MODEM file.
CSC -> select the CSC file.
Now click Start button and wait for the process to finish; at the end of the process the phone will reboot in recovery automatically and it will run a script, don't unplug it, and don't do anything yet. The phone will reboot once more and now it will pass the Samsung logo and will show you the Samsung bootanimation. Now you can unplug it and wait, the first boot may take 1 or 2 minutes and you will get your phone alive again.
PD: I can't give you a link to my post cause I'm new in this site and I don't have 2 posts here, so I can't post links in my replies.
PD2: My post in Taringa is in Spanish, I think it is understandable, but if not, use a traductor, after all you just want to download the correct files.
I hope this can help you. I speak spanish and has been years from the last time I spoke in English, so forgive me if something is wrote incorrectly.

Hello!
Ok, I'll admit I didn't read closely enough in my haste to root my new phone, and now it's softbricked. My phone was brand new and still on the 5.0.2 firmware, and I tried to follow the guide at link here on XDA before updating to 5.1.1. After flashing the sboot.bin, it rebooted, but stuck at the Samsung logo screen with some green text at the top of the screen:
ASV TBL VER = 15
ASV TBL VER2 = 1285
ASV big:10 LITTLE:10 630:11 MIF:10 INT:10 CAM_DISP:10 (I think that's right, it's very tiny!)
I've been stuck there ever since! I can get into download mode, but that's it.
I'm not sure what to do now. I've tried reflashing the sboot.bin file, and I've tried flashing the 5.1.1 stock (COF8) ROM (which fails!)
Am I correct in thinking that the sboot.bin file will only boot 5.1.1 roms? If so, how do I get the ROM flashed if ODIN won't do it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I've been thinking about this problem, and I've come up with two options. Either flash back to the original boot loader, kernel, etc. Or somehow get a stock 5.1 ROM to flash.
Any thoughts?

The problem:
The newer sboot.bin wouldn't allow an older Android version to boot, and I couldn't Odin the newer COF6 or COF8 firmware.
The solution:
I downloaded and unzipped (technically un-tarred) the *STOCK COF8* firmware from Samsung (sammobile.com)
-To do that rename the file by removing the ".md5" extension. Yes Windows, we really do want to change the extension.
-If you don't have a program that recognizes the ".tar" extension, download PeaZip and install it - it's open source & awesome!
-Re-tar all of the files there *EXCEPT* for the sboot.bin.
-Boot into recovery as before, and open Odin - you should be a pro at this by now!
-Click the AP button and select the re-tarred stock firmware, and flash.
-Odin fails after a few files, but this is ok.
-Reboot and you should get a "failed update" error instead of the Samsung logo.
-Now Odin the *STOCK COF6* firmware
-Watch and thank God as it succeeds,and reboots ...normally
-Be patient, it still needs to update Android.
-Decide just how badly you need ROOT.....

You are a lifesaver. More specifically a $579 saver.

Scratch that. I used PeaZip instead of WinRar or 7Zip. I didn't name it tar.md5, flashed and it's booting up now. We'll see if it works.
How did you get the new tarball file you made to pass the MD5 check? I can't get past that check when I make a new .tar file or tar.md5.

FYI, the text in my download screen says:

PRODUCT NAME: SM-G920T
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x0000)

Does anyone know if T-mobile or Samsung could/would fix this, assuming I can't get it going in the next day or two?
thx.
