Hi. Did you use Mobile Odin's OTA/Update Zip option?
Thanks!
Unzip then use the open file option.
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a go!

Works fine. All my data was kept after flash. Easy to flash using odin.
Plus my data speed on t-mobile went from a maximum of 3mb to 13mb after flash.

Hi. Sorry, I'm a a bit of a noob to the Samsung tools (having just come from the HTC world of hacking!). Can you tell Odin/Mobile Odin not to flash the modem part? I don't want to flash a SA modem onto my UK EE handset.
Thanks.

If it is a one Part Firmware like this one, no you can't. AFAIK you would need a 3 Part Firmware which consists of a Code, modem and csc part. There isn't a 3 part Firmware available right now.
What you could do is flash you current modem (your Providers Modem) seperately after flashing the Firmware.

Hi. Thanks for your help.
I've extracted the tar from the zip and then unpacked the tar. I assume I can just flash the system and boot images via Mobile Odin and leave the others? Sorry to be asking so many questions. I just don't want to brick my handset by rushing head long into something new to me.
Thanks

Yes, you can use Mobile Odin Pro to install and root without increasing the counter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35057300#post35057300
Download the file from the OP and unzip it to your internal or extenal SD.
Launch Mobile Odin Pro, tap "Open file" and select the unzipped .tar.md5 file.
Now tick "Enable EverRoot", "Inject Superuser (SuperSU)", and "Inject Mobile Odin".
If you want a completely clean installation, also tick "Wipe data and cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" (Warning: this erases all installed apps and settings).
Then tap on "Flash firmware" to start the installation process.
Thanks, but before the mobile odin can be used the phone must be rooted, the question is: which is the best method for root the phone by the first time, without increase the counter and apear the yellow triangle? . I think that one option is flashing CF-root (with PC odin) and after use triangle away.
Thanks one more time.
This is what I did. Flashed the phone /w PC Odin and used triangle away afterwards. Worked flawlessly.

If using Mobile Odin, it is a good idea to deselect the modem and hidden partitions as they are for a South African telco.

If you go to System settings > About device > Status, does "Device status" say "Normal" or "Modified"?
I also rooted it with PC odin using this tutorial (stock recovery method) initially:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2
Unfortunately, Triangle Away was not able to reset the counter successfully (it was still showing "1"), and "Device status: Modified".
Anyway, as I was already rooted I then went the Mobile Odin Pro way selecting all the wipes. This brought back the counter to zero and "Device status: Normal" and gave me root access at the same time.

Hi I'm in the same boat and want to keep my ee modem and root. I've unzipped the file so do I just place the boot image and system image on my sd card and then flash them with mobile odin ? I'm not sure what affect having a SA modem on a British network would have on the phone if any

I initially installed this full image incl the modem on my EE N7105 (am using with Three UK) and the speeds were all over the place.
So I then reflashed the original image and then this image minus the modem and I can say that the speeds have improved drastically...
Strangely I am also getting a signal albiet 1bar in in some places where I had zero signal before.
Don't know what this build contains to improve on the signal strength...
Also battery life has not depleted and seems to be better than the previous build.
I'm somehow getting horrible Battery Life when i flash the included (SA) Modem. It's about 4-6% per Hour while before i had 2-3% guess i have to flash again the Provider Firmware and then the new one excluding the Modem. I'm on Vodafone Germany

Hey guys.
I have tried new ics. As it nice is also terrible with battery....
Is there any way to downgrade it and then flash o2 firmware I have? I did try to flash it but setup wizard was crashing after reboot and I was stuck on that.
Any help will be appricated
Make a full wipe and install any stock gingerbread rom with ODIN.
After downgrading did you factory reset? That may fix the setup error.

Sure you do. Reboot to recovery (power off, then hold Vol-Up + Home + Power), and wipe data.
thanks guys, it helped but.... kies is saying its not supported any more now. I know for fact firmware I uploaded should be ok, but maybe is cause of root I did with ics?

I'm assuming the latest official ROM for your phone and network is Gingerbread.
Download and install Fus Downloader
Using Fus Downloader, get the gingerbread firmware for your exact phone (make sure product code, PDA, CSC and Phone match your phone)
Flash it with ODIN.
Once you phone has started, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset.
Once that's done and your phone has booted again, flash the same ROM again.
Kies should now recognise your phone.
I had the same problem and this worked for me. What phone do you have? (country and network)

Concerning the battery - i have stumbled upon this problem also.

Just a bootloop, give this a go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
You will lose all data although, nothing on external sd card will be lost.
Also, how did you flash the ROM? If you followed the guide step-by-step, you shouldn't have ended up in a bootloop.
I wiped all partitions and then flashed the zip file.
Is it with a bootloop that you even can't get in to recovery? I'm stuck on samsung logo, not on RR logo

Ah I'm stupid! You need to get into recovery for that thread! You're definitely holding the correct buttons when the phone is fully off (home + power + volume up)?
I think I will give it a go. But the threat says that you should do it from your recovery, or if you are not comfortable with the recovery way you should do it via odin. I can't get in recovery, so maybe I have an other problem..
I'm honestly a little scared of odin.

This is taken straight from my rooting guide. It will help you correctly set up Odin:
First off, you need Odin, which is a flashing tool specifically designed for the SGS2: Just type in "Odin 1.85" without quotations into Google and the first result should display "Odin - xdadevelopers - XDA Developers." Click on the link and Odin will download.
Now before going ahead with Odin, download Kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ ,which is like iTunes for Samsung Devices, the drivers are needed for Odin, but when the drivers have been installed, close Kies, right click on your toolbar at the bottom of your desktop, I'll assume your running Windows 7, and go into Task Manager. Now find anything with Kies running in the Task Manager, right click on them and kill them.
Once you have done this, go to "sammobile.com", sign up and download a stock ROM for the GT-I9100. I'll assume you have the international SGS2, just remove your battery and make sure it isn't the GT-I9100G. Then flash via Odin by connecting your phone, making sure Odin is configured like above, and then putting your phone in download mode, connecting it to your PC and put the file you downloaded in the PDA section and flash.

Yes, if you can't get into Recovery Mode, a new flash is your only saviour. When you have flashed the ROM and hopefully everything went well, you can root your ROM by using Chainfire's CF-Root. Then you could restore a backup.
I have also a zip-file of my previous rom on my sd-card. That was codename lungo. Can I flash that zip so i don't neet to re-root lik you said?

Do you know what it is/does? Also, the guide I took that segment on setting up Odin was actually written for rooting your ROM with CF-Root.
Oh, its a ROM. My bad! Well, I'm not too sure. I think if you have a backup of it, that would be safer. Rooting is real easy anyway.
Is Codename Lungo not a HTC Sensation ROM?
Oke thank you.
I will download the stock firmware from sammobile, and try to flash it with Odin. I just want it to work again (root or no root) and not have to buy a new phone

Don't thank me till it's working! Once new ROM flashed and booted, let me know.
By the way, don't use the .PIT file if one is included in the download, if you get PDA, PHONE and CSC, put in appropriate sections of Odin and flash, if just one file, put in PDA section and flash.

Hi all, despite searching here on XDA, clicking links and googling, I'm unable to find a download link for a firmware that I think I'm going to need. The firmware in question is.....
I9100NELP4
It's a UK firmware that I believe is 3 mobile branded. I'm having some performance issues with the phone and I want my retailer to check it over, but I can't really take it back whilst it's running CM10.1.
The firmware in question is android 4.0.4, so you can imagine I ain't exactly thrilled about the prospect of reinstalling that....lol.
If the firmware really is unavailable, is there some other method I can use to get it back to out of the box stock? For example...can I download and install a gingerbread stock ROM and then wait for a branded OTA upgrade?.......
Thanks in advance.....Keith

Can someone tell me if I did something wrong.....
1) downloaded and installed mobile Odin lite.
2) downloaded the correct flash kernel (v3) unzipped it and installed it
3) downloaded and extracted the correct stock ROM from Sammobile.
4) started mobile Odin and used it to locate and prepare the extracted firmware
5) started the flash process and let it complete......and.....
.....ended up stuck on the galaxy s2 splashscreen.........
Wiping cache, dalvic and fixing permissions didn't help either.....
Should I have formatted one or more of the storage partitions?
Luckily I could still enter recovery and/or download mode and had flashable zips of cwm, SU-Busybox and a custom ROM stored on my phone, so I was able to "restore" my previous setup.......
Here are some images of the setup before beginning the flash (if it helps)...

Why are you flashing 4.0.4 then? Flash 4.0.3 so that you can safely perform a factory reset. You will have to use PC Odin this time. Get your phone into download mode and flash the firmware when it is done using the 3 button combo boot into recovery and do a factory reset there!
EDIT: Updating from GB to 4.0.4 is yet another problem. You will face FCs and crashes if you don't perform a factory reset! I updated via Kies and was facing many issues!
As I said in my OP, the phone is having some performance issues and I want to take it back to the retailer for them to look at. I guess I don't have to flash 4.0.4 it's just that that's how it came out of the box. If I can find a .tar of 4.0.3 is there a reason I can't use mobile Odin to flash it and then perform the factory reset? Finally (if it's relevant) I DL'd and used the "got brick bug" app and it told me that my chip was "unknown" which doesn't really help me other than to say I *might* be safe to do a wipe........

That flash should have gone fine, what was that "unzipped the kernel" all about?
Let me see what carrier you're on and I'll provide the right ROM for you to flash.

Hi gastonw.......
I'm with 3 UK, and this was my setup before I rooted and cusROMmed my phone.....
With regards to unzipping the kernel, I followed the instructions and downloaded the assets in this thread.....

but when I started mobile Odin for the first time it didn't recognise that the flash kernel had been downloaded until I had unzipped it and installed it.....
And this is the firmware I downloaded.....

Yeah, the lite version makes it a little harder with that unzipping crap.
Try this, factory reset before you flash, all wipes and go at it again. Should be fine.
Correct me if I'm totally off base here......
Factory reset....deletes all user installed apps but leaves user data alone?
This being the case, won't mobile Odin and the flash kernel be deleted?
Can I push them into system and fix permissions beforehand? Or should I just reinstall them after the factory reset?

That's what factory reset does, it deletes all user data (logs, apps and sh*t), not the kernel.
Once you boot into your clean ROM get mobile Odin from Play store, set it up and flash away.
By getting the Pro version you'll be getting some cool features, the app almost flashes on itself....
OK thanks fella, did you look at the firmware I'm attempting to flash? Is it correct? Is there a 4.0.3 version out there?

I checked it out, it's OK. Check the signatures just in case with M.O.
So the steps as I understand them...
1) menu>>settings>>backup & reset>>factory data reset
2) reinstall mobile Odin (and flash kernel if using lite version)
3) boot into recovery and wipe dalvic and cache
4) reboot phone normally
5) start mobile Odin and search for downloaded firmware
6) run md5 checks
7) begin flash process and allow to complete
8) reboot phone normally and complete initial setup.....job done
Should I be doing any other wiping or formatting of any partitions (eg preload, emmc etc) between steps 7 & 8.....or anywhere else in the process?......

Hi guys. I finally made the change to android a few months back after iphoning for several years. I'm so glad I did. Everything I wanted that Apple wouldn't let me have is here. I wasn't too bothered about rooting up until I saw a video on youtube detailing the advantages. I was quite surprised you can get free tethering (which is something that would be very handy). Also since the jelly bean update my phone became a bit laggy and i heard you can speed it up via 'setcpu'.
After days or reading, reading and yet more reading I took the plunge and rooted my s3 i9300 via Odin. The first file I used said successful but a 'check root' app said it wasn't. I found another file for my spec and tried that and it seems to have rooted now.
So here are my questions that although I've read alot about I haven't really found an answer I'm confident with to take the next step....
1) Can I just turn on tethering on my settings or do I have to install or download a certain app to run it through? I'm on T-mobile if that makes a difference and I'm from the UK.
2) The CWM that is installed is not the same one I keep reading about. I found an updated version on this site but can I just install it via ODIN or do I need to uninstall the one currently on the phone.
3) I would like to try a fresh install of a ROM so i have a clean foundation. I'm not fussed about backing up my apps etc and all my contacts are sync'd via google. At this time I'm quite happy to keep the phone standard-ish looking while I learn more about rooting and roms and have heard cyanogenmod are more popular for the close to stock roms. I have also read they have released a 4.4. Is there a stable version yet? After I have my CWM can I just flash the ROM straight on. Any links for a stable cyanogenmod??
4) Any info on removing the bloatware?
Thanks guys in advance. I'm sure you've heard these questions time and time again. I was an Apple Jailbreaker for along time so hopefully I wont be too hard to educate.
Ben
1. What are you tethering? Simplest way is wirelessly but that doesn’t require root anyway.
2. Yes just update via odin.
3. CM is aosp based rom so it's actually fairly close to stock android rather than stock Samsung, have a look in the Android development forum for a list of custom roms. I won't recommend a particular rom as they all have benefits. Aosp roms cm included have issues due to Samsung controlling some of the proprietary software meaning some things hdmi out, FM radio etc either don't work or have limited function.
4. If you flash a custom rom, you are reducing bloat to a greater or lesser extent. But you may also be sacrificing some Google or Samsung apps depending on your chosen rom, again have a look at the rom threads as there are seriously too many to list.
And welcome to the dark side and enjoy the freedom.

No by tethering I just meant for my laptop or the kids ipad's etc if we're out and about with no wifi. So I can just use the usual stock tethering as opposed to having to use an app?
Is CMW the better one to use?
I shall browse the roms and try and find something that's compatible.
Thanks for your time

Stock tethering should work fine, that's what I use. If i was you I'd stick with a Samsung based rom to start with as you'll find most of the apps are available and all features should work, but once you've got the bug the skies the limit.
CWM is probably the benchmark recovery, but if you want a slightly more featured one you could go with Philz.
Just remember nandroid is your friend, keep a backup and if a ROM doesn't suit you just restore.

Hi. Well I've tried to update the CWM through Odin and it says it has passed etc but when I go back into the phone it is still the old version.
Do I need to unlock my bootloader first? I was under the impression the i9300 bootloaders are unlocked from stock?
If so I'm running 4.3 so am I right in reading that it cannot be unlocked?
Another thing. When I plug my phone into Odin nothing happens. If I connect my phone first then open Odin it recognises it. All be it could be an issue with Odin I did it this way for the initial root and it worked fine?
Please helppppppp. I got the bug now. Just like the old apple jailbreak days

You do not need to use Odin to change recoveries if you already have a custom recovery installed..There are two versions of recovery .tar.md5 (you flash these with Odin) or .zip files (you flash these with your current custom recovery)
I would also recommend using PhilZ recovery it as alot more options.
Ok thanks. So do I add the zip version to my SD card? If so how do I run it from there? Via the CWM app on my phone?

Sorry my confusion I didn't realise you where using the cwm manager app! This is why you are having problems I never use apps to flash roms or recoveries they always seem to have problems.You need to manualy flash from recovery itself boot into recovery volume up + home+power and flash from there.
Flash PhilZ recovery from there....
Hi thanks. Maybe that's why. I've been doing volume down, home and power.

Hello, I am new to these forums, so please be kind .
I have my S5830i rooted, and running CWM. I have three quick questions:
My phone came branded and locked to the O2 UK network. It contains all of the branding and rubbish that comes associated with it (Boot animations, etc)
However, I have used galaxy toolbox to network unlock my phone, so now in theory I should be able to use any network. What I want to do is flash the BTU (open) uk firmware from sammobile.com, in order to remove all of this branding. However, I have heard stories about how you should never flash BTU firmware onto a network locked device. Therefore, my first question is: Has Galaxy Toolbox unlocked my phone as if I had got it done by the people at the O2 shop? And does this mean I can safely flash BTU rom's?
My second question is:
I see that after ODIN installs a rom, you are taken straight to the recovery menu. Once you get here, do you have to wipe data and cache, or can you just reboot straight away using the "reboot system now" option?
My final question is:
The BTU firmware I have downloaded is only one file. According to sammobile, I should put this into the PDA section of ODIN. Is this the same as Flashing a multi firmware file, (like with PHONE and CSC) or are those two put into the PDA for convenience? The file I am trying to download is here: www(dot)sammobile(dot)(com)/firmwares/3/?download=16050
Thanks for helping me out, and do not hesitate to ask if I need to clarify anything that I have said.:laugh:

Yes, you can use Galaxy Toolboox to unlock your phone and its safe for you to install BTU roms. Its always best to go to Stock Recovery Mode and do "Wipe data/ factory reset" once you flash stock rom through odin. As for flashing the stock rom, use this guide,
Know your Device:Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i ~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST
Do post the result. Hope I Helped
Thanks
Thanks for the reply! One final question - Some tutorials use a *.pit file, and some don't. As far as I can understand, the PIT file is used for re-partioning. Do I really have to use this, or will it work fine without? The instructions on the sammobile site don't mention this.
Finally, will flashing the stock rom restore your kernel back to the stock rom? I am asking this because If I flash a kernel like Rafael's, will flashing the stock rom remove it?
Thanks for the help!
Sorry for the double post, but...
The flashing guide details where to get the firmware files from. However, I have already downloaded my firmware from sammobile, (which came with one file, the PDA,) and I don't exactly want to have to download it all over again from a different site. Are the sammobile firmwares safe/okay to use? Thanks again for the help!

You can actually try both. Use the following guide. If the single file installation doesn't work, then you can use the multi-file installation using the pit file. Here is the link,
How to Unbrick/Flash Official Firmware on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i Using Odin
Whenever you flash the stock rom back, all the previous data will be lost. If you flash a Rafael kernel and then flash stock rom back, yes, it will remove the Rafael kernel. After you flash the stock rom, you will have the stock kernel.

Is there any difference between splitted firmware, or just the one file?
Because otherwise I see no point
That one file is like a zip, which has the required Modem, PDA and CSC files packed into 1. You will need to split the file in order to flash properly.
I had tried to use splitFUS2 to split the firmware into multiple files, but the website it was hosted on has now been taken down, so I can't download it. Do you know of anywhere that I can get the latest version from, as that is the one that supports our device?
Also, I was told to put the single file I downloaded into the "PDA" section - Surely this would do the same as flashing it in it's individual parts? Please correct me if I am wrong. It is a .md5 file I am putting under the "PDA" section .
Thanks for the help everyone!

I have teated both of the methods , 1.If you flash that whole zip , Odin will say Fail and it will not flash .
2.If you flashed that splited files then it will boot properly and Odin will say Pass , hope you now get cleared .
Okay, I think I understand now...
You cannot flash a single *.md5 that you are given from sammobile (although that thread you linked to had mentioned Odin had been uodated to support it)
So I went on thr splitFUS page, and went through the installation structions. I have cygwin installed, and the stock ROM on my computer. HOWEVER, the download for splitfus is down, as it was hosted on hotfile. (Which was taken down) Therefore, please could someone here re-upload version 2.11 (Or whatever the latest version is) so that I can split my firmwares?
Thanks!

In Wipe package it will erase your all data & in Non wipe it will not.

(My phone isn't plugged in yet, but I know the drivers work fine! )
Is this all set up properly? I am using version 3.07 (As you can see from the screenshot) - Is this the correct version?
Assuming that it is, are these steps to follow correct?
Boot into download mode.
Plug into PC,and press "start"
Phone will receive firmware, then restart into RECOVERY MODE.
Wipe data, and wipe cache.
Reboot system now
Are these instructions correct? Sorry that I am being paranoid - I really don't want to break my device, but I also want to know that I can go back to stock from with ease, if anything was to go wrong.
As always, thanks a ton!
