[Q] Korean Galaxy S : Impossible to load a new rom ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
Complicate situation , the wife of my best friend who got an American brother and lives with a Korean woman .
And this woman offer her hudsband sister her galaxy S1 as a gift
Recovered this weekend my freind let it to me to see what is possibel to do with it , it is precisely a SHW- M110S , from what I have read a version of the Samsung Galaxy S1 dedicated to the Korean market .
I firstly have struggled to put it into English , once the data wipe fact, it is return back in Korean, but nevermind
Firmware version is "2.1-update1" my mission is to find a newer but more especially European application layer .
Some applications still installed stay Korean for example
The worries begin :
I own a GS2 , I have already made several SHIFT via Odin , my desktop PC , my laptop are both already geared with drivers samsung, and when I plug the S1 , it is visible with its data .
Then here in that forum I pass by Odin to update it ( I found a M110S - Gingerbread -HOME- IMAGE - REV03 - WC13 -1023- USER) then a 2.3 for this phone S1 . My current concern is that Odin bloqued on the "Setupconnection" step.
( I put the rom in the PDA option , I do not check re-partition)
Not work at all, and I do not know what to do, I tried :
Update Samsung USB drivers => Still Blocked
Change USB port => Still Blocked
With or without SD or SIM card inside the S1 => Still Blocked
Stop the process Kies , Kies fired completely ( and restart the machine ) => Still Blocked
Tried another ROM ( GFAN_M110S_VG26_FTE9K_ODEX_SP5 : I do not even know what is this rom ) => Still Blocked
By rage attempted a pure S1 ROM ( A clean and full reinstall of classic I9000 S1 ) => Still Blocked
I'm lost
Any suggestion ?

[Q] How to find suitable ROM for MT6575 based clones?

hi
i have a Samsung galaxy s3 clone . it was bought from shop in china . dont know who actually made it .
i made its backup with mtkdroid root tools 2.3 but its corrupted.
i tried few roms and flashed it with wrong preloader and dsp_bl .. which gave me total brick .. no charging . no display. no detection by pc.
after a lot of hit and trial i somehow unbricked it . now it has android 4.0.4 . but it has few problems.
1: Cameras are not working
2: Sim management is greyed out /disabled .. and no imei ..
3: No baseband ..
now since my own created backup is corrupt and this set is not branded so no real way of identifying it how can i find its factory rom ? from which information I can decide whether a ROM is compatible with my device?
all the details along with pics of my set are here ..
These were taken with stock ROM ..
Thanks
it is highly important to have the version info screen shot/picture/details from the factory mode .. so before embarking on any adventure do it asap.. [factory mode can be obtained differently on different devices.. on my device it comes with vol up +power key]
that screen has a whole bunch of info .. and that in conjunction with the about phone menu from android settings menu can tell u with quite certainity which rom is rigth and which is not for u..
match the baseband version and date .. from factory mode of ur device with the one which u intend to flash onto your device)
match the kernel version.. ..
also the kernel version of both roms (original and the one which u intend to flash )should be same in android system info menu which is obtained by going to settings and about phone ..
and the sw version written on the motherboard of your device is actually the kernel version (from my little experience) .
the sw version shown on your board should be same as that in the android about phone menu .. the version wont matter ... (again in my little experience )
i unbricked quite a few devices ...and tried almost half a dozen roms on each device .. actualy 4* ~5 =20 combinations.. so all of the above is from my personal experience..
AND DO NOT flash preloader and dsp_bl .. unless you are unbricking the device .. ( .. or flash if u want to brick it........in other words..)
do share ur experience
and also make a generous use of the china-iphone.ru forum and chinafonini 4pda.ru and some other forums and sites in the hunt for suitable rom
i have problem too, but different clone. mine s4 clone with MTK 6575_01 ( i'm not sure , but i tried to flash by SP flash tool with based ROM mtk 6589. always FAILED )

Device in a bootloop and accidently formatted internal sd card through TWRP..

HELLO,
I own a samsung galaxy Tab 4 SM-T231(4 GB) and i am running stock firmware (JB 4.4.2) , rooted and don't know that the bootloader is unlocked or not. It was stuck in a bootloop , I know that it need's to be factory data reset but i accidently formatted it . I was using TWRP . I know that it need's samsung kies . I don't know that the USB Debugging is on or not. Whether i should use ODIN or SAMSUNG KIES , and how to use them.
Hi,
Reboot into Download mode and flash your stock firmware with Odin. AFAIR we don't care about usb debugging while being into this mode. I think there's no bootloader to unlock with this tablet.
Thanks
Hello ,
sir can we use samsung kies to flash it....

I don't think so.
Samsung Kies is bs but Odin is the official unofficial tool to flash firmwares on Samsung devices.
Verification
HELLO,
SIR I REBOOTED MY DEVICE IN DOWNLOAD MODE , BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY DEVICES which shows ( in download mode)
ODIN MODE (IN RED)
PRODUCT NAME : *****
CURRENT BINARY : CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS : CUSTOM

BUT MINE SAY'S
ODIN MODE ( IN WHITE)

You can find stock firmwares here.
I don't know Samsung devices very well so you may try posting your question about Odin in your device specific forum.

Samsung Galaxy s6 , Nougat 7.0 Charging Problem

Hello i've been searching around 3 days and trying to find an solution for my GALAXY S6 DEVICE
1 month ago i have rooted my Galaxy s6 and after 2 weeks I tried to remove the root access from my device
i forgot that i had to flash ROM again and i just installed an app in Play Store for full unroot after i processed with the steps my phone restarted and stucked on Samsung Boot Logo .
I went to my PC and opened Odin again Downloaded Rom 6.0.1 but when i got it it said file is corrupted or something so i had to download Nougat 7.0 and i flashed Nougat 7.0 on my Galaxy s6 ,after the upgrade the phone seemed to work perfect in just one hour my phone just got restarted and im not able to charge it anymore on Power Supply
Only charges with PC USB , works with every charger on USB PC , but does not work on Power supply
I have tried Samsung Original Usb Cable but the same problem persists , but the other one problem is that when i connect the USB to my PC or another Pc "have tried many others " my Device is not being Detected i have tried in download mode but odin won't detect it .
So since i upgraded to Nougat 7.0 i got these problems and i have no idea how to go back there and flash 6.0.1 now
it does not allow me to detect my device to odin , it does not charge with power supply it charges only with USB AND VERY SLOWLY !
I contacted Samsung Support they were not able to help me , i went to Service Center they told me that the problem stands at the connector , but i dont think so this phone is brand new and i don't want to give them 200$ just for a connector because the LCD of galaxy is hard to be opened and closed again .
So all i need is some help from XDA DEVELOPERS because i have saw many posts and XDA found Solutions for everyone , but i need a solution for my Device Samsung Galaxy s6 {SM-G920F }
Please i need a solution assap thank you !
(A while searching to my phone i saw something at Open Source Licenses , /fake_packages and /root
and ROOTAP services

charge your phone, flash back 6.0.1, go to recovery and wipe data and check if phone works on charger, in download mode you will see in your knox have been tripped, this could cause some issues on nougat firmware

Thank you for your Answer , but i have already charged my phone 100% , and wiped all cache and data , the phone works only on USB with PC , and i can't flash back to 6.0.1 because Odin does not detect my phone on Download Mode
Nougat caused this all , my phone only can be charged and not be recognized .
if you phone cannot be detected by odin it means you may have some hardware issues, even battery problem, my advice try to see if odin will detect it on other pc. If you would have some bootloader incompatibility your phone wouldn't power on.

Samsung Galaxy J2 ACE Pre-Rooted ROM needed

Eventhough I have done a lot of search in samsung galaxy J2 ACE (G532G),couldn't find a single forum ,post,tutorial in name of J2 ACE..There are rooting tutorials only available for J2 PRIME (G532G),which is a similar ROM variant.I have tried many of J2 Prime tutorials and end up in bootloop/boot lock screen.So requesting XDA developers to help me in creating prerooted firmware.I have added stock roms's google drive link.
Its a stock ROM of J2ACE .I downloaded it after i got into bootloop .Flashed in my J2ACE mobile ,verified working good.
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B5BpnlH8S_TWUW51RmNqWmFDNlU&export=download
Any developer kindly use above ROM and create a prerooted ROM.As without root ,the stock marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM filled with bloatwares of samsung ,which are memory eaters.I got left only 500mb,if I add any four or five apps,out of 8GB internal memory.SD card also write protected.I couldnt install and use whatsapp, bcz I end up in exhausting free memory to 50mb.
Please ,any help greatly appreciated by few thousand users of J2 ACE out there.
Below are J2prime G532G tutorials ,I have gone through.I request other J2ACE holders not to give them try.If you have tried them accidentally and ended up in bootloop or boot lock screen,Kindly use ROM from above drive link and flash it with ODIN.
1.Rooting Method of G532G/H/M.(Tried this method and end up in Boot Lock Screen)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-samsung-galaxy-j2-prime-g532m-t3523090
2.ROOT G532G WITHOUT BOOT LOCK PASSWORD ( But it does get into Boot Lock)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrWmnt3dZKc
http://npmobilehub.com/g532g-root-unlock-success/
Solution :
Video tutorial on flashing J2 ACE stock ROM flashing,If you get "Set Warrenty Bit void" KNOXX error by flashing and also for BOOT Lock Screen,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Q9JJwunZM&feature=youtu.be
There is people out there saying use Z3x Box to unlock Boot Lock screen .But it does cost 10,000 Indian currencies ,more price than that of J2 ACE mobile price.Also there is 'no box' version of Z3x samsung tool v24.3 available over internet ,which unfortunately doesnt support G532G Unlocking.There is no latest version of Z3x tool 27.00 without Box available so far.No local unlocking vendors/service centers, i could find in south indian cities around me.So Pre-Rooted ROM is the only hope of People buying Middle end budget phone Samsung Galaxy J2 ACE(G532G).
How can a noob like me tell the difference btw sm-g532g and sm-g532g? J2 Ace (my phone) claims to be model sm-g532g, how do I tell the difference?

TWRP file & supersu zip needed for J2ACE G532G
Sir,kindly post me the TWRP file ..thanks in advance..
2 methods for TWRP + root
I am using the stock ROM you so kindly have made available.
The first method I have tried with success is "EASY-G532-TWRP+ROOT-NEW". There are an exe file and an MP4 file in the folder. You only need to have Samsung USB drivers installed on your PC. Connect your phone to your PC - normal mode. Play the media file for instructions. Your phone will be rooted witin
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xjdt8rhw2mme9xy/AAD6S10PRyw3FYQ5yHRVmZfFa?dl=0
The second method is quite simple.
- flash TWRP via Odin
- in recovery mode, flash SuperSU and then no-verity-no-encrypt.
Done.

Hi , try to put your phone into Download mode , and use latest Odin version in order to re-flash the latest stock version of OS if you are note sure which one is , just send me 7 and 8 number from imei ...
Thank you for your answer, I managed to fix my phone by flashing the latest firmware. I was downloading it from a website and it turns out it wasn't the last one.
After I looked on different site, I went on sammobile and I downloaded the latest version, It took me one entire day, the download speed was slow AF and my internet connection crashed in the middle of it.
I had to ask a friend to download it at his place and then, bring it to me.
I'm really happy, I managed to fix it.
