Hi Guys
Quick noob question
When you flash a single file using odin (for example the official XWKE7 in the rom flash guide), and you put this file in the PDA section, does this update the MODEM and CSC as well on the phone?
why there is one ROM file not 3 files to be put in the PDA, MODEM, and CSC sections of Odin
Thanks

There are some ROMs (like those stock ones) that have everything contained within the one file.

what about re-partition and pit file, i have read in the guide that they should not be used
why is that ? what is the function of the pit file and when should we choose to re-partition?
Follow instructions for each individual firmware.

Hi guys,
My friend's got a problem. He installed resurrection remix v 1.9.1 by westcrip 4.0.4 on his s2.
The kernel is:
3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+
[email protected] #32

He didn't do a backup before installing it and now he wants the original rom back. Could anyone here tell me exactly what he has to do?
He doesn't know anything about flashing roms etc and he did it as in the tutorial to get resurrection remix, so we need an easy tutorial (I don't own a s2 so I can't help him much).
His S2 has no branding.
Thx and please help!
Michi

Only your friend can know what firmware was on his phone before flashing the custom ROM. I suggest to use CheckFus to get the latest official firmware for the phone and then flash it using ODIN.

Using CheckFus is self-explanatory and for using ODIN there are already many excellent and easy to read guides here.
So CheckFus will tell which firmware is right for his device? It will tell exactly which firmware?
And could you post a link to a thread, where is explained how to flash the firmware using odin. Cause I don't understand anything about basebandkernel, and we don't know which firmware was there as he bought the device and which kernel and which baseband and whatever. Is there any tutorial for noobs?
Could you excatly post which firmware we need from here to get phone back on stock ics? We want a german firmware if possible. (I know you could just say ask google, but at xda heres a great community and I don't understand anything of odin and want to know which files exactly I have to download for phone, pda and cdc. That would be so great!)
Please help us!
Thx in advance!
Michi
EDIT:: I found this here: http://androidfirmwares.net/PhoneFirmware/Download/120
Can I download there and then I have to put them like this:
PDA: XWLPF
PHONE (Modem): XXLPX
CSC: OXILP6
?
And then get s2 to download mode?
And what about the kernel? There is this kernel on s2 right now:
3.0.31-siyah-v.3.2.4+

You will have to do quite a lot of reading. Start by reading the Stickies and then read this thread which explains how to use ODIN.
Remember: only fools rush in - take your time and read before flashing
Thanks a lot, but what about kernel now? We'll have to read the thread, but I just want to know if the firmware from android firmware was right and if I could flash the rom if I just put these 3 Phon,Pda and Csc in the fields and without repartition. So what about the kernel?
Sorry if I nerve you, but I'm a noob with s2/flashing etc and it's not my phone
Thx!

The kernel is part of the stock firmware.
So we just need to place these 3 files in the right order in odin (PDA: XWLPF, PHONE (Modem): XXLPX, CSC: OXILP6) and go in download mode on galaxy s2. Then we can flash the firmware which is stock? And then we can update via kies if possible and use kies and etc? there's nothing else to do? And after the we have warranty as if we have just bought it?
EDIT:: I downloaded it but in the 7z file there were only boot modem cache etc and these were iso files? What have I got to do? Where can I download just pda, phone and csc? I dont get that!
Pls help!

You can try www.sammobile.com for stock firmware too. You'll have to sign up, but it's worth it. You just search for the stock firmware for your device and flash through Odin. Do not use the repartition button or the pit file and you should be fine.

I doubt that, the 7z file contains one tar.md5 file. Do not untar it, no one said you should do so. For ODIN read and follow the instructions according to the link I posted in post #4. That thread tells you what to do with the firmware file.

extract the file u downloaded from samfirmware or checkfus
u will have two files in it (in Latest gb or ics)
insert it in pda and flash
and ur done
the kernel is included in the firmware ..
Thx guys now I hope this is my last question on this topic:
I read the guide and downloaded a firmware. Now I don't understand the thing with checkfus. Do I really need checkfus or can I just download this firmware for a s2, unbranded, bought on amazon and it's a german s2?
Can I only put this extracted .tar.md5 file in PDA Section in Odin, boot s2 into download mode and connect to pc. Then click start and everything should went fine?
I own a xperia mini pro and there I must flash kernel and then firmware, so at odin and s2 the kernel will be changed when I flash pda and is included in pda?
Sorry, I asked same before, but I don't really understood
Thx for your great answeres, xda is a super community!

CheckFus is used to download the latest firmware. As you have downloaded the firmware from somewhere else, you do not need CheckFus anymore.

Yes, exactly, load the tar.md5 file.

Flash stock rom after resurrection remix
I just reflashed my samsung J-500H with the stock rom after gapps started crashing on resurrection remix. I had no problems going back to stock except the I had a boot loop for a few times my remedy was to do a data and factory reset on stock recovery. I will reflash RR after I find gapps that would work on my J5 Lollipop. Any suggestions?
hi can anyone help i tried flashing my girlfreinds ace over the weekend an gone very wrong somewhere installed update zip then cwm got the file i think i needed ie checfus cygwin stock from sammobile connected odin flash phone bricked .......retraced my tracks tried manually flashing rom with odin fatory reset all with no joy tried to extract the files pda S5830IXXLD3 pda S5830IBTULC1 phone S5830IXXLD2 with cygwin with no joy put the required dll file cygwin needed and now splitfus wont work all i think i need is the above file but have trawled the net and cant find them anywhere any help please..................
When flash stock firmware you must have 4 files PDA,CSC,MODEM,PIT. If firmware is one package then you can split it via splitfus. I recommend 4 files stock firmware. It is easy to flash.Search in Development and General Section, you will get your country's stock firmware.
Hit thanks if I help

Hi! I'm looking for the firmware file with PDA, modem, CSC and the pit file. Every file I've downloaded had just the firmware. If anyone can help me, that would be awesome! :victory:

Hi
On Sammobile, I've downloaded the latest firmware for n920c (link here) but there is only one md5 file there.
I do not want to delete the current user files, and hence I need the "full" firmware with all the AP BL CP CSC files.
How can I get it?
Thanks
