Can anyone point me to the firmware .BUMP
T959P Alternative Firmware with TMobile
I fixed mine by flashing it to TMobile Galaxy S 4G:
Created Tar containing the following files fromT959VUVKH2_TMB stock firmware: (T959P to TMobile Galaxy S 4G.tar)
cache.rfs
data.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
modem.bin
zImage
Used the following with Odin
PIT=Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
PDA=T959P to TMobile Galaxy S 4G.tar (created as per above)
Entered Download mode and clicked start and voila my bricked t959p was a TMobile Galaxy S 4g.
After this you can root it with the stock+Voodoo-T959VKH2.tar file. Can't find stock telus files and Kies won't detect the phone after so until someone can provide stock files no going back. Better than a brick though and everything works.
Easy Unlock after rooting too just by searching the NVram dump with a hex editor.
I did the same thing and if anyone knows where I can get a copy of a stock Kernel for the Samsung Fascinate T959P (Telus)
Many Thanks in avance

Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-GB1) 16gb Korea version (much like Galaxy S without phone function only, other things equal). Few weeks ago, I tried to install a Galaxy S ROM ( both .tar and .PIT files). It was a terrible mistake since the PIT file for Galaxy S doesn't fit my player. Hence, my player became dead from then (no response to buttons, no response to Odin).
I tried to get Odin recognize my player successfully by pressing the volume down button. But, couldn't restore the player with .tar file.
So, I posted in a Korean forum and got the PIT file.
But now, even I tried with that new PIT file in Odin. Odin stuck at the SET PARTITION and never moved on.
My question is: how to flash back my phone now? I got .pit and .tar file already.
And, my PIT file is 256kb. is it weird? I mean, most of the PIT files are about 2kb only

256Kb PIt files are a direct dump from the device, The first 2-4Kb are real content and the rest is just zeros, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Maybe you can try to get another PIT file to see if the problem is an incorrect file. There is a thread about that in the development subforum.
Hi, I am fairly new to modding android devices I have have just purchased a live demo unit SM-T320x , I have managed to root the device and all is working ok and i have flashed official stock firmware, I have a problem that only a small amount of the internal sd card is usable. Please can someone advise me on how to flash the pit file, I have found a file online: SM-T320.pit.txt but odin doesn't detect the file. Can anyone provide me with a proper .pit file please? Just one more thing I can't seem to get rid of the Samsung live demo unit logo when the device starts does anyone have any ideas? I'm on bootloader T320XXXU1ANA_LLK although I am rooted /system shows as R/O. I have a custom recovery TWRP . I am on the latest firmware BTU Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Ok so I bought this Samsung S6 Edge here in Italy for my wife (the phone model is SM-G925F, carrier free). Yesterday I downloaded and flashed with Odin the last firmware available for my country (5.1.1) but unfortunately this firmware doesn't have the Traditional Chinese language in it (my wife is from Taiwan). So I tried to downloaded a firmware of another country hoping that I could get more languages (I downloaded the Malaysian firmware 5.1.1, *maybe* that could have more asian languages in it). Anyways, I tried to flash this firmware with Odin but near the end it failed on the "hidden.img" file (luckily, flashing again the italian firmware recovered the phone, no brick). Searching on this Forum I read some people suggesting to delete the "cache.img" and "hidden.img" files from the firmware archive and this should solve the "hidden.img" error on Odin. But before doing this I need some clarification:
- Why do we need to delete those files from the (official) firmware archive? What are they for and why they are there if we can delete them safely? Should I delete both files or just the "hidden.img" file (I ask this because some people said to delete both files, other people said to delete only the "hidden.img" file, I want to be sure of what I'm doing before having another near brick experience...).
- In case I need to delete those files, is it better to use Total Commander (like someone said) or the Unified Android Toolkit? Will this "custom" .tar firmware trip KNOX on my phone (I read some people had this problem)?
Thanks!

Also I'm wondering, deleting those .img files from the .tar will delete also some additional rom languages? As I said I want to try an Asian rom (like Malaysia) in the hope that I can find Chinese language on it... that's the only thing I need otherwise the italian firmware would be fine.

Hi, i´m not an expert in dev or codes, but recently I soft bricked my phone, and I did a lot of research here, and tried almost everything to solve my problem.
In my case, my S6 was stuck on android 5.0.2 with bootloader in 5.1.1 and the stock firmware 5.1.1 for my specific device wasn´t released yet. So I couldn't turn on or get the emergency recovery from Smart Switch.
When I flash the firmware from other variants, the process always fails. So I´ve tried everything to flash a 5.1.1 firmware.
First I removed the hidden, then I try to remove the cache... with more research, One guy said to remove the sboot.bin e cm.bin. I try this and fails too...
Than I remove all the files, (hidden, cache, sboot e cm.bin) and works!
Even if fails in Odin, this doesn´t mean that the file is the problem... Maybe the cable is in bad conditions, or the PC itself... Try more than 2 times to flash the same .tar before discard that solution.
- Why do we need those files? Good question, don´t know either.
You can try to delete 1 and flash, try both and flash. A lot of variables are in this situation.
- I advise you to use Total Commander, very easy and fast.
And man, why don´t you simply try to download the language package? For sure you have this option somewhere, or someone knows how to.

Well, on Google Play there's an app called "MoreLocale2" which adds more system languages. Problem is that this app needs root access and I want to avoid that...
