Hi there!
I have a Samsung galaxy sIII I was on stock firmware and i followed "I followed Chainfires guide to install ROOT and CWM all went well until I tried to connect to Samsung kies to do a firmware update where it kept saying that the current mode is not supported go to settings> and turn off debugging, so I did that and it still came up with not supported.. so I then decided it was because of the root. So I have downloaded I9300XXALF2 bought the triangle away app and then upgraded via odin, that was successful fresh phone unrooted all back to official. but still it would not connect to kies so I tried to flash it back to the stock firmware I9300XXALE8 and odin says "The parameter is incorrect" and will not let me
I have just found another problem too! When i dial *#1234* it says my CSC is unknown, so I dial *#272*IMEINumber# and it comes up with "BTU" but will not let me select it, It says " must be THREE chars?..
I need some serious help guys please!! I am currently downloading I9300XXALF6 to see if that will solve anything. Im begging that someone can help me with this?? I have looked at other questions over this forum and Google but none seem to answer this. please redirect me if anyone knows where the answer is. Thanks for any help
I'm having this same Issue.
I download a stock firmware from SamMobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4791) and when i try to flash, Odim says "Incorrect Paraeter".
What to do?
anyone?? I am having the same problem.
you need to remove the ".md5" at the end of the name of the ROM file.
Your ROM file supposed to end with ".tar", not ".md5", that's why ODIN have error.

Why are you even messing with ICS if you reallly have no idea what you are doing? Didn't you read?
Simple solution to boot loop is a factory reset. I have done this numerous times after flashing a new ROM. Works all the time.

Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes the ComBOx turned yellow when i connected my phone with odin and yes my pc recognize my samsung , i was able to do it full process but only at end it showed FAIL.
Hi there, please go easy on me. I did search XDA, googled other places and tried other things but getting the same. I am coming from iOS, got SGS2 and played a bit with it. Decided to flash new ROM as samsung stock was slow.
1. Rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
2. Installed ClockWorkMod.
3. Downloaded CM7, put it onto my SGS2 and installed with ClockWorkMod (volume up+power+home)
4. Went further and got mysellf Simplistic ROM ICS XXLPB installed it with ClockWorkMod
5. Wanted to go back to CM7 so tired installing it with ClockWirkMod but something went wring and I ended up with sem-bricked SGS2
Whenever I fire up the phoone, the battery logo appears but is doesnt show itis charging. When I connect to KIES is isnt connecting the only (good) thing is I can put it in a download mode and Odin sees it so I caan try flashing it but whotever rom I am flashing in, I am getting the same "Invalid MD5 value."
I wanna go back to stock rom ERA PL (I9100XXKE4 ERA 05.2011 2.3.3) when I unrar it i got the following files, seems like PIT file is missing. Have a look at the attached. How do I restore my phone with ondin?

Im not an expert so you might want to wait for a more experienced persons comment....
but go to sammobile.com and download the firmware you want to flash....if PIT file is required you can search for it i believe, i remmeber ive seen a place earlier where you can download it.
Hope it helps

Thanks, but the thing is I got the stock firmware I wanna use, but I keep getting the same error "MD5 value invalid" is PIT a generic file for all roms or is it ROM related?

Pit comes with each firmware but onSGS2 so far i believe its the same one . Details are on the site you got firmware from follow their instructions .
PIT file is not required and its dangerous for noobs to use .
Invalid MD5 value.
Two reasons why One bad download file corrupted or Two the more usual user is not following the instructions and making their own up .

Thank you for your invaluable help.

Hi.
I already have the stock rom, I9100XXKI1, downloaded from CheckFus.
That's the latest version for my country, it's a TPH 2.3.4.
When I downloaded the Stock the CheckFus only gave me one single file!
Can you tell me, where can I find the pit file for this version, if it's that possible?
I post an Image Attachment of the CheckFus, if your wanna see my Android Version.
Thanks for the help!
Anybody that tells you to flash a PIT file is an idiot . Please steer clear of PIT files .

Guys I need a desperate help.
I managed to get my phone to ICS using Kies successfully, but since got some troubles, I tried to manually re-flash it.
But sadly, I've done something wrong and now I cant boot my phone, and cant reflash it since it (Odin) said cant open serial (com).
Here what I did the first time:
1. Download the firmware from SamFirmware.
2. Use Odin. Load the firmware to PDA, Phone, CSC. Then Start.
3. Midway during flashing, something happened and it says Fail.
4. Had to reboot.
5. By this time the 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again appear'.
6. I tried reflashing, but cant seem to pass the SetupConnection stage.
Help?

Let's start with some obvious ones.
- What model phone do you have? I don't mean "Galaxy SII". There are over a dozen different models of Galaxy SII phones, all with different model numbers. It'll be on the label under your battery.
- What model phone's firmware did you download from samfirmware? If the model here doesn't line up with my first question, then you have your answer. Go back and download the correct model's firmware.

Thanks for the reply. But as soon as I posted that and try reflashing again for the 50th time, it works. I dunno why or how, but it does.
So I guess can be considered case closed?
Oh btw: Model I9100 (Malaysia), firmware I9100DXLP9

Hi everyone
I tried to upgrade using odin but forgot to enable usb debugging and upgrade failed.
Now I have only download mode and odin is asking me for PIT file.
I have searched but canno`t find pit file anywhere - probably because it doesen`t exist
I need some help please, what can I do?
BTW, since hot file is down I don`t know where to get original firmware and if I get it, will it help since I I`m running in circles with this pit file request from odin..

SOLVED!!!
I didn't have recovery no matter what combination of buttons I pressed. Only thing I had was message from download mode that upgrade failed and that I need to connect to Kies for emergency recovery!
That's what I did,
Downloaded Kies and connected my phone, tried to upgrade firmware and after inputting my model and serial number it downloaded original firmware that came with the phone and Kies resolved the whole problem!
I was worried that it might not work because I was rooted and had custom recovery installed before the problem but the process took about 40min to complete and all my apps and settings were saved!
+1 for Samsung Kies
I hope that someone will benefit from this.
