Is it showing as only 16GB capacity or 16GB free memory left? Sometimes rarely flashing custom rom can mess up partitions. Flashing stock will fix this.
Stock is the way to go then i guess, thanks. Yes partition seems messed up.

I would just flash stock. Did you do a clean install of the rom?

Hi sorry for reviving this thread. i am having the same issue as OP and wanted to ask. i have an s6 edge plus and i rooted it to make it easier for me and wanted to go back to stock rom. so my cousin brother flashed it for me and it ended up having 16gb storage like the OP.
I was wondering is that the same thing as flashing stock or thats another thing?
I used odin3 3.12 today to flash saudi arabia version and it still shows 16gb. If its not the same thing as flashing stock rom, how do i go about doing it?
Thank you very much

What you need to do is flash the correct pit file with the rom to repartition the device.
Whats the model of the device?
The firmware and region you want?
The android version?
Tell me these and ill link you to the correct files and info how to do it.

Model Number = SM-G928C
Firmware = I am not sure what is firmware number, is it Baseband version (G928FXXU3BPI9) or Build Number (MMB29K.G928CXXS3BPL3).
Region = I am not entirely sure if i can install any region. this mobile was bought from saudi arabia, medina. So any suitable version should be fine?
Android version = 6.0.1
Hope i answered correctly.

Check my other post above. You need to download and flash the 2nd one along with the pit file.
Try that one first. If it does not work try the first link, the saudi one

I also wanted to ask when i click on odin3 3.12 Pit tab, it says its only for Engineers. That kind of caught my eye.
Is it a risky thing using a pit file? as in a chance of bricking the phone or its just a warning odin3 gives?

Its just a warning. Dont worry about it. As long as you only flash it with the PAK firmware it will be fine. Its a message that will always pop up when you click on pit.

Sorry for the late response, it took 7 hours to download PAK version from Sammobile.
I just tried re flashing with PAK version and including the pit provided. but it shows the same result. storage as 16gb.
im downloading ARABIC (STC) one now to try.
Will put it to download and go to work and give you a headsup after trying within 4 hours (If the download has completed).
Thank you very much.

I just tried to flash my phone with the IRAN one where we had 4 files totally (this was the one we used when we went from rooted s6 edge plus to stock rom) but used only AP. This time i tried with all 4 and it says (Success 0/ Failure1).
So i just reflashed Saudi one i used before and now downloading Saudi (STC) from Sammobile. will let you know after i try it
Oh and i also wanted to ask. reflashing phone a number of time a day will pose any risk to it? or you can just do it any amount of time?

The one you tried to flash with 4 files you need to flash all files not just one. Thats why it failed.
I have seen this happen before and it should flash the partition back to 32GB after flashing stock with pit.
Before you flash the next one reply here so i can guide you.
And dont worry about the amount of times you flash it. It will do no harm no matter how many times you flssh it.

Hi, im currently at work and will be home within an hour.
This morning i used IRAN (4 file one) and used all 4 files on odin. Here is what i did in detail.
1. Opened Odin 3 v3.12
2. Uploaded BL (1st), AP (2nd), CP (3rd) and CSC (Last)
3. Under options - > only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time was ticked.
4. I hold volume down, menu button and power button at same time and pressed volume up button.
5. I connected the phone to Computer.
6. Odin3 recognized phone and i clicked start.
Within 2-3 seconds it said it has failed, and i used the SAUDI file to reflash back to normal (As i was late for work).
.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
For the PAK file with the PIT you provided, i did everything almost the same other than it had only AP file and i had Re-partition ticked as well. It flashed fine but showed the same 16gb storage limit.
I will be home soon and post here beforehand if its easier for you and allowed in forum to use skypecall or such, that is indeed fine for me as well.
Thank you very much.

Hello everyone.
I need your help because my samsung galaxy s II has the "red screen of death" so I would need to get it back to stock rom before sending it to after sales service.
Can you help me finding the right rom and how to install it please ? At the moment I have CM7.1
Thanks in advance !

Download stock there. Its impossible to guess which specific one it came with unless you provide the information.

Please anyone answer,
I downloaded I9100XWKJ2_I9100XEFKJ1_XEF.zip from sammobile, can you tell me how can I use it with Odin ?
Do I use this file for PDA, PHONE or CSC ?
Also what's the pit file ? When downloading Odin from sammobile, I have a s1_odin_20100512.pit, is it the right one ?
Thanks in advance !
this is en example use ur own file. (Proceed at your own risk. We are not liable if anything happens to your device by using this method. )
Step by Step Instructions:
Download the Android Firmware
Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:
CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5
Download Odin software
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.
Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”
under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,
than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.
Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.
Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)
Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)
Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —
and you can unplug the cable then.
Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.

If you didn't use the pit file your phone may only be soft bricked. Read some more and you can fix it if you can get into download mode.

I'm guessing you went ahead and just tried flashing using that .pit file?
You should never use a firmware or kernel for a different device, but it is sometimes recoverable.
For future reference, NEVER EVER EVER use a .pit file for a different device...

Since you flashed using an S1 .pit file, your only hope now is JTag repair. Nothing else has any chance of bringing your device back to life.

Hey guys,
I've spent the better half of 8 hours looking on multiple forums/downloading roms/attempting to flash my cousin's GT-I9300.
I attempted KIES update and emergency maintenance and they both start freezing.
I attemped odin with a multitude of roms with the model & serial given by kies (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3)
I've even downloading android commander to no avail.
I've successfully rooted and flashed my i747 multiple times so i'm somewhat familiar with the odin flash process, but this is a bit unsual.. and frustrating lol.
The phone is in reboot cycle (loops after the samsung logo animation), won't let me access recovery but will let me get into odin recovery.
Odin seems to have failed at every stock rom flash...
ANY help?

I assume with odin recovery you mean download mode? If so try to flash a stock ROM (maybe first a version that is from your region, you can find them on sammobile.com) via Odin and make sure that KIES is turned off (also from task manager, even better uninstall it). Do you have any error message showing up when you try to flash with Odin?
Try the flash again, and if it loops, try booting recovery and doing a reset......yes,I know you said you can't get into recovery, but just try after the flash
Also remember it can take a few minutes to boot after a flash, so be patient and give it a chance

Also what does the Odin log say/what stage is it failing at?

I've attempted to flash maybe 7-8 different roms. My cousin won the gt i9300 at a raffle overseas so thats why im unsure of what exact country it is. Is there a definitive way of finding which country exactly? I do know it was an unbranded rom and fully unlocked because he's been using it here (w/ straighttalk) for the past 6 months or so just fine i even flashed jellybean 4.1.1 when it was first released (via kies).
When I try to and get the version from kies it tells me (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3) but no country.. so idk if there's a definite way of finding this out. I'm downloading ICS rom and gonna try and roll back the rom as i've read some people did that and it worked.
Once i bring up download mode it says on the top (ODIN MODE) and binary download count YES (1 count) and rom as custom. I attempt to flash Odin it always fails right after system.img. never gets past i've tried to do multiple attempts(5-6) per rom but no luck yet. never gets past "downloading... do not turn off) phase.
thanks alot for the assistance guys!
CSC more or less tells you the country .
Overseas first question then is it actually I9300 look under the battery .

Model Number under battery says GT-I9300 same thing that's prompted during kies for emergency recovery.. which downloads but ends up not recognizing it. Odin flash on the other hand recongizes it when i plug it but keeps failing.
LL3 is from Pakistan http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=PAK#firmware
Try downloading any unbranded firmware cause it's pretty much it's the same thing. You can always change the csc after you flash your phone.
or Download the right firmware on the country on which you are right now.
Then follow the youtube guide here on how to properly flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610. You can just skip the unrooting part i guess.
EDIT:
Annandale is in UK right? On the 2nd link that i gave you the first firmware there is from UK so i think you can flash that one.

FCC ID: A3LGTI9300A

Okay goodluck on flashing your S3 I'm gonna sleep now lol. 12:11am here.

the pit files that was posted there was for the 64gb one if you are using the 16gb one so I've uploaded the pit files for all SIII storage models.
just take note of this:
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
And make sure to follow the the instructions there. Likewise credits goes to the posters there and not me lol.

GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
And make sure to follow the the instructions there. Likewise credits goes to the posters there and not me lol.

Thanks for the follow up and thorough info! i'll make a note of that when i do this later.
I installed the pit file and it installs properly, says Reset then i put the phone back into download mode and try to upload the roms (PAK) 4.1.2 and 4.1.1 as well as the latest 4.0.4 and all fails. this time it fails after NAND Write.. so idk... >< i'm gonna try and download an older version of ICS (probably end up downloading all 5 ICS roms on samsung site. I'm looking for a stock kernel as well to follow what the additional instructions of the guy on the link posted but i can't seem to get my hand on a kernel, anyone know a link to a stock gt-i9300 kernel?
in the meantime i'll start downloading the ics roms.

Get perkas file stash from Play store, I'm sure it has stock kernel
Edit....just checked, plenty of stock kernels to choose from
Andi has some handful of kernels here http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/index.php/2012-10-31-06-13-16/viewcategory/18 I just don't know if he has the kernel you are looking for.
thanks for links guys! i'll look up one i need and download it and check back in later.

I had a similar problem, my phone just froze in the middle of a phone call, had to pull out battery, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldn't pass the second "SAMSUNG" logo, just stayed there forever, with the blue light (Official JB 4.1.2 - not rooted)... Anyway, after 3 days of trying, downloaded bunch of firmwares, but all of them gave me the infamous "Complete(Write) operation failed". This is how I MANAGED to revive my i9300 16Gb Int:
1.Open ODIN, load ONLY the pit file corresponding to your phone (In my case i9300 16Gb Int'l - GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit), check "Repartition" and "F.Reset Time" and hit "Start".
- If this step goes OK (All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0))
2. Click on the "Reset" button in Odin (or close and re-open it), in PDA select "recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar", make sure only "F.Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" are checked, and flash it. If everything goes OK, you should now have CWM instead of Stock recovery.
3. Take any microSD card, any size, and put THIS file on the root of the microSD using a card reader or whatever you prefer - but be careful, copy the zip as it is - do not unzip it.
4. Insert the memory card in the phone, enter recovery*, and select "Install zip from External Storage" and choose the file you put on the root of the card (by the way, it's a 4.0.4 downgrade bootloader), it should flash in a second, the phone will restart, and that's it!
5. Download and flash 4.0.4 Stock FW using Odin (i used "I9300XXBLH1_OXEBLF1.zip"), everything should go OK, and the phone will be bootable again.
*(my phone didn't wanted to enter recovery the old fashioned way using 3-button combo, but i managed to enter recovery from charging mode, by connecting the charger on a switched off phone, and as soon it starts charging press Vol Up + Home + Power, and when the FIRST Logo (Galaxy S III GT-I9300) appears, let go of the power button, keep pressing the Vol Up + Home, and it enters recovery).
So my dad got this new s7 edge for me. i used it for 1 day or so and realised that the android version is till on 6.0.1 . i tried to update the device manually but it says that its up-to-date, but im sure enough that its not. i also tried the smart switch method from Pc , but there is now update option in the smartswitch software as if the device is upto date.
I downloaded a root checker app to see if the device has been rooted or not , but the app shows that there are no signs for rooting. Can someone please help me with this, im tired of trying.

Good. One Question first: is the Firmware a single .tar File? If yes, then start Odin, select AP and select the Extracted Firmware File.
After that (Backup all your Important Data first before proceeding!) you have to put your Phone into the Download Mode, Power it off, wait a few Seconds, and then press and hold Volume Down Button and Home Button and after that press and hold the Power Button. If you get a Blue Screen displaying a Warning, everything is good and you can enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Up Button another Time. Then Connect it to your PC and wait for Odin to say "Added!" after that simply hit Start to Flash.

Oh understood , But there are 5 files. And i have a question or 2 to ask , if the usb connection gets interrupted will it do any bad to my phone ? And how much time.will it take to complete ?

Answer 1: If it gets interrupted while flash, it normally shouldn't do any damage. It would be then called a Soft-Brick and you would have to flash it again.
Answer 2: Depends on what File Size the Firmware has. But normally it shouldn't take more than 5-10 Minutes.
If I understood right, you have 5 Files.
Do they (kinda) look like this or have such letters in it?
- BL ...
- AP ...
- CP ...
- CSC ...
- USERDATA ...
If yes, then you just have to put the files to the correct Tab. Like BL ... to the BL tab and CSC to the CSC Tab.

I've downloaded an android 9 firmware before it came to my phone model (SM-G965F/DS) and flashed it. When I check under Software Update in settings it says "Your current software version isn't supported visit a service center".
Is there a way to go back to the factory firmware it came with through smart switch or.... how do i find the correct firmware to flash with odin? Because i dont have any version details from before...
Please help!

I believe as long as you do a full clean flash, the software update will function normally. By full clean flash I mean flashing the CSC and not HOME_CSC, and flashing userdata if that was included in your firmware, although I'm not sure if that part affects this or not. But the CSC, which will wipe your data by the way, should set everything straight I believe. It has worked for me.

Oh, you said you flashed the firmware package, so did it have four or five different files inside the package, like AP, BL, CSC etc? You put each file in the respective slot in Odin, and instead of using HOME_CSC, use CSC, which will wipe your data but it will line up the customer code with the firmware so that updates should work as normal.

Hello there!
I installed TWRP recovery mode on my phone in order to root it, I watched a very goog tutorial (
) on how to do it. After installing Magisk, my Galaxy J6 is stuck at logo bootloop, I uninstalled Magisk but it did not help. I tried to wipe data, format and everything from TWRP, but it did not work.
How do I fix my phone??

Then I recommend to restart from scratch by using Odin to flash latest Stock ROM (get it via samfirm_reborn).

Don't understand your question.
You wrote you've wiped already and it didn't help.
In download mode USB-debugging doesn't work anyway.
As system is wiped it can't work imo.

Thank you for the link, but there is no file with the name Stock ROM or firmware or something like that. How am I supposed to download the Stock ROM to my laptop??
Please bear with me, I know I am aksing to much
@mahaci7363 use samfirm to download stock ROM from Samsungs servers.
Check "binary nature"
Unzip the file you'll get into 4 o 5 different files (AP, BL, CSC aso)
Start Odin and insert the files appropriately.

@bmwdroid Thank you so much! Then all I have to do is start Odin and wait for the installation (I believe I should be in download mode). Can I use Sammobile? (Found a firmware for Nordic countries - this is where I live) In Samfirms I did not find a version for Nordic countries.

Download mode is necessary for using Odin.
Sammobile can be used as well, but sometimes it only gives you a one part file which might not help as much as the multiple part files you'd get using samfirm.
Which region code did you try there? NEE?

CSC stands for Country Specific Code. It is needed to download firmware for Samsung Galaxy smartphones and we can find out what ours is in

Device type SM-J600F ?
Never happened for my eight devices that samfirm didn't find the stock ROM.
One part file has to be put in AP on Odin.
@mahaci7363 you seem to be right.
Just tried myself and with J600F I couldn't find any.
That's peculiar.
So you have to rely on sammobile.

My device type is SM-J600FN, but it is okay, I can download the SM-J600F version.
Isn't CSC the same as the build number?? In that case, I copied it before damaging my phone: J600FXXUACVC2.
I found a firmware version for J600FXXUACVC2 but its region is Iraq, which is really strange, since I live in Sweden and bought the phone from Sweden. Unfortunately I did not manage to find the CSC code, in downloading mode I don't see information about my device, I only see this: (check the image).
Can't I just choose the version Nordic countries or is it going to damage my phone more?? In that case, I can download the Iraq version which has the same build number as my J6

@bmwdroid the downloading instructions on sammobile:
Add the firmware files to their designated slots (AP in AP, BL in BL,
CP in CP, HOME_CSC in CSC). Do not tick any extra boxes. The only
options to be ticked are F. Reset Time and Auto-Reboot.
What is meant with the option F? I don't find any options in Odin.
