Hello everyone!
I have a little problem
I bought a galaxy tab 8 but it didn't work, it's the SM-t350 model
I bought it very cheap so I decided to invest in a new logic board, bought a second hand one and installed it
This is where my problems started, my tablet is the Sm-T350 model, now in system information it says it is SM-P350
The logic board is the same for both versions but it has some changes
Is there a way to remove the rom from P350 and put the rom from T350?
I already tried with Odin but it gives me errors, I could force flashing with other tools but I am afraid of bricking it and since it does not detect the home button I could not put it in dowload mode again
Has anyone had this problem before? What do you recommend me to do
Do you think it does not detect the home button because it does not have the correct firmware?

You can buy a USBjig for Samsung devices pretty cheap, I bought one for $3 USD including shipping on eBay. It is a device that automatically boots Samsung devices into download mode.
Then, you can extract the two different firmware files(T350 and P350) into separate folders, then take the system.img from the T350 firmware and put it into the P350 firmware to replace the system.img that is in the P350 firmware, then compress the contents back into a .tar or .tar.md5 file and then flash that via Odin. If that doesn't work, you will have to start a process of trial and error experimenting with trying different mixtures of the files with the two different firmware files. You may be able to extract just the system.img by itself from the T350 then convert it into an Odin flashable .tar or .tar.md5 and flash that .img by itself. Or, you might only need to extract the stock kernel from the T350, convert it into an Odin flashable .tar or .tar.md5 file and flash that via Odin.
Either way, there should be a piece, part or combination of the two firmware files that should fix your issue. You may need to take some more time to research what I'm explaining and some experimentation to find the correct mixture of what you need.

I could not find my answers to these questions so I will ask here.
Although I have managed to muddle through flashing to a couple of roms, the soft bricked my captivate <currently waiting on jig cable from ebay>, I now, while searching for methods to flash a fresh, stock froyo rom, have many different questions.
I don't know the different files to choose in odin under file selection, their extensions, or what the files do. I have looked for an in-depth odin toturial, but can't find it.
Can you tell me, or point me to the threads, the following...
1. What are: PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC files? I should not have been trying to flash anything without knowing this. What does each file do? I have never tried to flash anything but a tar file using the PDA input. Now I realize I dont' understand what i'm doing.
2. Given the above question, how DO I flash a soft-bricked captivate back to life once I get into download mode? At this point, I have no idea what files I need or where to get them, or the order to flash them.
3. Noobiest question of all: how do I understand the nomenclature for all of the downloads like: ...XXJ**...? Have no clue what I need.
Thanks,
Viper
PIT (partition information table) is its own little file to repartition your phone. 95% of everything goes in PDA (whole roms, kernels, bootloaders etc) CSC and phone aren't used as much and I honestly don't know what they are so you got me there.
Soft brick is easy, just get back in Download mode and flash a stock rom (JF6, KB1, KB2, or any other leak firmware around (KF1, KH3, KI#, KJ#) The names samsung uses is based on year and month it was released with a number wich is just order it was made (I believe thats how they name it)
Edit: Found here UCJF6 is UC= United States Cingular, J=2010, F= June, 6 means it was the 6th in the month of june.
Here is a rough short tutorial video I did a while back that may be helpful...

Hello all,
During my travels in China, I picked up a GT-I9228G galaxy note.
Back in the UK now, and hoping I could change the rom to the english varient of GT-N7000? I am assuming GT-I9228G and GT-N7000 is the same device, just different regional roms(?).
The boot screen is chinese. It has chinese apps on it which I cant remove and no app store amongst other things. Ideally, would like to make the phone all english. Is this possible?
Just a bit of background on me:
I used to own a HTC PDA which I swap roms from developers here and very familair with jail breaking on apple products. Andriod however is new to me. I am a quick learner, so any pointers would be great please guys/gals.

I guess you could... Lots of other people bought their galaxy note from Hong Kong and also from china and they all changed their ROM for a same reason of yours.
Does not the 9220 using a snapdragons and not exynos? I not sure but I thing I have read it somewhere so carefully before flashing.

So, potentially I could just change to the one below?
N7000XXKKA ## 2.3.6 2011 November N7000CPWKK3 United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse) Download
The box says 1.4 + <insert chinese characters here>
From wiki -A dual-core 1.4Ghz Exynos processor or a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor (AT&T, SK Telecom, KT, LG U+)
So my guess is Exynos. Anyway to double check?
ok, so I have downloaded the above rom and Odin3 v1.83 from sammobile.
I have opened Odin3 and specified the PIT file (Q1_20110914_16GB)
I have also ticket re-partition, auto reboot and F.reset timer.
I have loaded the rom under PDA (N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar), everything else is unticked.
I have the phone in download mode ready.
I just need to know if the above is ok or am I missing anything before I click START and brick my phone?
Thanks,
Chris.
well I tried anyway.
That didnt work.
Now the phone says "software update fail"
I can still get into download mode, buts thats about it.
tried with and without the PIT file.
Anyone know what I should do now please?
I'd say you'll have to find a rom for that model
maybe http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9220&r=2#regiona
You might have bricked your phone by checking repartition in odin. You should not have. Now you probably need to find a pit file for your model.

If you could enter download mode then try these steps
1. Open Odin and flash Pit file only and Re-partition ticked. (do not attach any ROM)
2. After this again flash ROM without pit file and re-partition un-ticked
This should work.

The first part seemed to work ok, so then went onto flashing again without the PIT file. Failed
Back to square one (software update fail message).
Going to try the original ROM, but takes about 6 hours to download from china!.
Ideally, really dont want to use the original ROM though! I'm guessing the original ROM isnt going to work now anyway since ODIN3 has re-partitioned the device(?).

god, you can't flash n7000 roms on the china note, you will surely brick your phone and good luck.

You're wrong. Several have tried and it's working perfectly with n7000 roms on i9220 phones.

I am also doing this on a macbook via Boot camp (windows partion). Maybe it has a problem with that. Will try it on a normal PC too.
Any other suggestions before I head home from work and play later?
Oh, I forgot to mention. I read somewhere (forgot where) that I should root the device prior to changing the ROM. Is that true? If so, I dont think thats something I can do in current state

you can try flashing kernel with CWM in PC Odin, then flash any Custom ROM using CWM Recovery.

CWM is clockworkmod right? Dont I need a rooted phone in order to install it?
Or do I follow something like this? http://whatareandroidphones.net/root-samsung-galaxy-note.html
Yes... CWM recovery doesn't need root.
hello,
Didnt have the time to work out CWM, but was given a link to another rom which had three files for ODIN3 (http://hotfile.com/dl/149302861/1896440/N7000XXLA6_N7000XEULA1_XEU.rar.html).
So, loaded the above and the phone is back in action on a N7000 rom. Wohoo. Just glad it's working again more then anything else lol!
This rom is prerooted apparently too. know idea what I should be able to do now. What does one usually do when they have a rooted device?

Thread accidentaly revived :S
Hi,
I'm helping a friend who's got this phone (GT-S5830) debrick it. He's managed to get into Download Mode.
I'm used to flashing SGS2s with Odin - I've never done it on this, so just wanted to check a few things.
I've directed him to download this package - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156521491/6ab255f/S5830XWKPY_S5830XEUKP1_XEU.zip.html which I found on Sammobile, as the latest UK stock XEU for this phone, i.e. no bloatware.
1) On all the screenshots I've seen, it's said on the title bar of the Odin application, "Odin Multi-Downloader", whereas the version I use for my Galaxy S2 is just "Odin", or something like that, basically it's not the same. Can somebody link me to the correct version to use with this phone (GT-S5830).
2) Again, on my phone I'm used to just having one PDA to flash, or occasionally three files (PDA, Modem, CSC), whereas on this phone there seem to be many others, from what I've seen in screenshots, such as bootloader. Which ones are necessary? Should I just use everything that comes in the package from SamMobile?
3) Anything else I need to know?!
Thanks all!
EDIT: found out I should be using Odin Multi Downloader v4.42, and no higher for this phone, seen in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. I also found out I need a "Cooper_v1.0.ops" file, which is the equivalent of an SGS2 .pit file for partitioning. I found one on some guy's dropbox, but can someone link me to a direct/official one, just to make sure I haven't downloaded a bad/old one. Thanks again!

Thank you! I'll let you know if it works.
Hi, My phone has outdated Android 6.0.1 baseband.
I downloaded the new file "N920W8VLU4BPJ1_N920W8OYA4BPJ1_N920W8VLU4BPJ1_HOME .tar" and extracted out the modem.bin
But I am not sure if it is possible to simply drop this file on the phone and restore that file from TWRP (I think that is wrong)
or how to flash this file by itself inside of ODIN so I do not change everything else on my phone.
It was already running MM before I rooted & flashed TWRP & custom roms.
I'm getting terrible battery life and issues with WiFi shutting on and turning on when the screen comes back on (even though no software/settings are set for that)
I have some prior Samsung experience, but I'm not sure how to, or if its even possible to simply flash this updated modem.bin without doing the whole samsung firmware and then starting root/TWRP/custom rom again from scratch basically.
Thanks in advance!!
I'm reposting this from another thread in hopes to get quicker response.
I will edit both posts if a solution is provided to assist in others finding that info.

do so at your own risk. If you extracted the individual components of the firmware, you can use 7-zip to save as .tar file which is ODIN flashable. I do this to flash boot and sboot files in ODIN to enable ADB for FRP removals. Do so at your own risk however, I do not take responsibility for you messing up your phone if you don't know what you're doing.
Personally I think you'd be better off flashing stock firmware and going from there. Rooting and TWRP take literally seconds to accomplish. Plus this route is safer than what you're doing...
Since I found them particularly difficult to obtain and use successfully with my S5, I've put together a few PITs and the right firmware for the Galaxy S5 G901F LTE/4G Plus model.
I know it's a fairly old model now, but I just thought I'd help some people out considering most websites offering these files are very slow, or no longer support it.
Note: I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong with your device. Be careful and make sure that you follow trusted tutorials or guides on how to flash your phone.

These files can be particularly useful when you've got your phone into a state of not booting up at all, and only allowing you to boot into Download Mode.
You can flash both of these with ODIN, however the latest version never seemed to work for me, so I suggest first trying the new version here, then the older 3.09:

Hi, i'm new here and to flashing roms etc. so.... Sorry for my noob behaviour but are those links you provided here (firmware + pit file/s ) still available anywhere. I've searched endlessly (it seems) to find firmware for...
Samsung S5 plus (SM-G901F) ... (( EE UK-- i think)) ... Successfully flash several roms but the phone remains stuck in boot loop after Odin 'Pass' on almost every rom ive tried.. . T
The only thing that works is Odin mode so far . After every odin flash same thing... boot loop and cant get into recovery to factory reset.... Any advice or tips so very much appreciated . Thanks.

Any chance to share those files again please?
I have an old S5 Plus (SM-G901F) which doesn’t boot.
