Hi all,
Sorry for my bad english.
I was using i9100 with the CM10 and wanted to flash the stock rom back.
Here is the problem now,
When I press the start button,
it goes smoothly but stuck on boot.bin for almost 45mins.
What should I do next?
I think I did everything right?
I tried change the USB port,
Kill all kies program in task manager,
Tried other stock rom....
Thanks all
If you did NOT check repartition and did NOT select a .pit file then you are safe. Then you can just try again. Or try again with a different rom and/or a different USB cable.
Sounds like the tar file you downloaded might be corrupt. Try downloading it again, and once you've done so/unpacked the tar, use 7Zip to test the integrity of the archive. If it comes up all files OK/no errors then that isn't your problem.

Good afternoon XDA'ers!
I recently broke my phone and had a new one just sent to me now on insurance.
First thing i wanted to do was root it so u i could use titanium to do a restore from my old device.
Unfortunetly i was a little bit stupid in that i rushed things and think i may have used the wrong kernal/bootloader in Odin.
My phone rebooted and sits at the Samsung Galaxy S II loading screen with the yellow triangle.
I am able to get back into download mode, but not sure what to do from here?
Is there anyway to fix this? If so how?
Just flash right kernel/firmware

What have you flashed via Odin?
You could try to reflash from Odin the right kernel to see if it works.
This might help. Haven't read it all, though.

Flashed PDA using an Insecure XWKDD file i had from my previous SG2 root.
Also i don't know what Kernel to use now :-s
first, download this: http://hotfile.com/dl/136310155/64f8cc4/I9100XWKK5_I9100OXXKJ3.rar.html (pw: samfirmware.com)
start odin. get in the download mode and plug your phone.
Click on PDA and choose the "CODE_I9100XXKJ3....tar.md5" file.
Click on Phone and choose the "MODEM_I9100XXKJ3....tar.md5" file
Click on CSC and choose the "GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-KJ3.tar.md5" file.
Click on PIT and choose the "...pit" file.
after its done, the yellow triangle should be gone.
unplug the usb cable, shutdown your device, get in the download mode again.
http://download.chainfire.eu/52/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5.zip download this. unzip file and start ODIN click pda and select the tar file. then flash! now you are rooted w/o annoying yellow triangle! you can flash kernel whatever you want with darkyota

Used your method and it worked fine. Thanks for your help. And thanks everybody else for all your advice
Hello Forum,
I have downloaded ODIN for flashing and recovery, and as of the moment I have the Samsung Galaxy 5 (USA) Model. Now, I have previously flashed and recovered stock with it but I don't know which files do what.
I have a PIT file, a BOOTLOADER, and a PDA file. Could someone give me a depth description of what each one does? I doubt I'm suppose to use all three all the time in case I've bricked my device or flashing.
Thanks in advance.
PIT stands for Partition Information Table. It basically tells odin how big each partition is, how their arranged, etc. It doesn't contain the actual contents of those partitions, just how they're laid out on the drive.
The PDA file is your actual system image, and is usually compressed as a .tar (or tar.md5) file. It will contain a kernel and one or more partition images which contain the actual contents of the partitions that're described in the .PIT file.
To flash with Odin (or Heimdall, for that matter) you need a .pit and one or more partition images. I'm not too sure how you'd use the separate bootloader file in Odin. I'm still something of a n00b at this.

You actually don't need a .pit file to flash with odin. All you need is the .PDA file. I believe the .pit file is only for if you want to re-partition the drive as well. Forgot to mention make sure only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked when flashing in odin with a .pda file or you will brick your device.
Thank you guys for that, I figured more or less what you are saying. I just needed confirmation! :good:
Using Odin to flash the TerraSilent Kernel
I would like to flash TerraSilent Kernel 1.3.5 for Galaxy 4.0 (YP-G1) USA. I have downloaded Odin3 v1.7, and would just like to confirm the steps, as this is the first and only Android device I have and wouldn't like to brick it. (This is the also my initial step to flashing the EtherealRom V2.4 ROM.)
I have the Samsung Drivers installed. That is all I need to use Odin right?
Steps:
Download the TerraSilent_usa-1.3.5.tar file
Put Galaxy Player in download mode (Power Button + down)
Connect the Galaxy Player to the computer
Start Odin
Ensure only Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are checked.
Select PDA and choose the "TerraSilent_usa-1.3.5.tar" file that I previously downloaded
Then click start.
I have some other questions, I have been reading up the forums and would like to clarify something with the .pit file. Is it only required when you would need to to re-partition the drive? and therefore installing a kernel does NOT require a re-partition of the drive, am I correct?
Which of the following scenarios would REQUIRE a re-partition of the drive (and thus a .pit file when using Odin)?
- Flashing a Full STOCK ROM (with Recovery) for e.g here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850
- Flashing a Stock-based ROM such as EtherealRom V2.4 ROM
- Flashing a Recover such as CWM
I'm new to this Android ROM scene so I just trying to get a better understanding of this all.
Thanks in advance.

True all you need is the .tar file to flash. The pit file is usually unneeded when flashing a custom rom. However, make sure you turn on USB debugging first (Settings->Applications->Development-> Check USB debugging) before flashing anything. Sometimes just not having that checked gets you into bootloops and cause problems.
PIT files are used when you get your partition tables messed up. I believe this means you're not able to boot into the device or access download mode anymore (basically for Bricked devices). So you 90% (made up statistic =P but you get the point) of the time when you are flashing back to stock, you just need again the .tar file (unless as I said previous your device is bricked). You almost never need a PIT file to flash a custom rom from stock, and Flashing from CWM only requize a .zip file that's still in the zip form (meaning don't unzip it with winRAR, 7zip, and similiar programs

Hi XDA,
I got a S5830i from my friend to do a system backup because the custom ROM doesn't boot. I read that I have to do it with Odin v3. But there is the problem. I installed every driver, even KIES (It doesn't run) and the Odin doesn't recognise it. Only the Odin v4 can see it. So I tried with it and made 4 file from a tar.md5 file, it ended successfully but it doeasn't boot. I always get a bootloop with 2 different stock ROM. Unfortunately I can't try it with another computer because I only have a laptop which is run W8 and if I know it right, Odin need W7.
So my question is that why don't the Odin v3 recognise this phone?

Did you try going to recovery and wiping data and cache after flashing? I always have to do that after flashing with Odin, although I use Odin v1.85 or v3.07 for flashing. If you want me to attach them, ask me.
Press Thanks button if helped.

Somehow I solved it but I don't know how. I plugged the phone and ta-dam the Odin recognised it. I didn't do anything and now it's working. Finally I managed to get beck to the stock ROM so now everything is OK.
Thanks for the answer and maybe if you know why does it worked suddenly please write it down because I' m dying of curiosity. :silly:
A while ago my phone started to restart itself for no good reason. Then it got worse and it starts randomly resetting itself (factory reset). To solve this issue I tried to do a manual factory reset myself, and the problem persisted.
I can deal with these random restarts, but then one day as it restarts it got stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen. I tried to do another factory reset in CWM and clear the cache, but it says "E:\cache\...." isn't mounted. As I investigate further it seems the reason that it can't boot might be because the memory is not mounted I guess?
I can boot into Download mode and CWM perfectly fine, so I decided to try to flash the Stock Recovery and Stock ROM through Odin. Connection between Odin and the phone was set up fine, but then it stopped at this error message "Complete(Write) operation failed." Flashing either stock rom and recovery yields the same error . It simply can't write to the memory it seems.
Now I'm stuck at this start screen. I've heard flashing a PIT file might be able to fix it, but I have no idea what that is.
Is the phone bricked? How do I fix this? Should I use the Rescue Firmware in this post? It would be great if anyone can help me since I have been asking for help on other forums but got absolutely no response...

If you can boot to download mode you can try to use the rescue firmware. No, it isn't bricked because it still works
Thanks for the response! I'm going to try the rescue firmware, but I see that it says "KOR" on the file name. Is that referring to "Korea"? My phone isn't bought in Korea does that matter? Also what's the CSC thing it's talking about?
Your description matches emmc corruption/failure, so it is a software brick.
Follow the guide for the rescue firmware it doesn't matter about the country or CSC, but make sure you include the pit file.
If that fails to flash then it's time for a new phone.

I just downloaded the zip file, but it seems like it doesn't have a pit file inside. So where can I get that file? Thanks again.

There are two versions in the rescue firmware page 4.1.2 and 4.3 the pit file is in the 4.1.2 version and can be used on both.
Now I tried to flash them with Odin 3.07, it doesn't fail nor success. Instead it got stuck at "Get PIT for mapping.." I read that this might be a driver problem, but I've reinstalled my drivers, and I even tried all the usb ports on my computer. I've terminated Kies' process, but it's still not working!
What should I do to get Odin to write onto the device???

It won't write for a reason, the emmc chip is damaged.
Hello XDA,
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Alpha and I've recently wiped the whole phone due to the custom ROM draining my battery. Now I have a huge issue. I do not have an operating system on my device and I have no idea how to get one. I've tried to flash the original firmware via ODIN, but it won't boot up. I can't transfer a firmware to my phone via sd card and install with TWRP Recovery since my phone does not support SD card. What can I do? Can I transfer files to TWRP via a USB stick that plugs into the phone or transfer files via USB cable to my computer?
I will be happy to provide more information if needed.
Thanks,
Vegar
Wipe all data on phone, flash stock
OR
Boot into download mode, flash latest twrp with Odin, reboot to twrp and pull battery after.
Well I'm not an expert but here's my idea how to fix it. Install adb on your pc and than put your phone in recovery and plug the phone to pc. If abd detect it (use adb devices) than you use adb push command to transfer ROM to your phone and then just install it. But if adb won't work than I can't help you. Good luck.
Hello guys,
Thanks for replying. I've already tried wiping left and right and reinstalling up and down without any luck. I have tried to use TWRP to install both the original firmware and two different ROMs. I have tried to sideload via ADB and install and it still gets stuck in a bootloop where it crashes on "Upgrading Android: Optimizing application x out of x". I have no idea what to do..
Thanks again,
VegarAndroid
Well, if nothing works then you could download PIT file and flash it with firmware in odin(with re-partition enabled ), but only if you can't do anything else. PIT should be the last resort
Hello,
Thanks again for helping me! Could you further explain how to do this? I think I've downloaded a pit file from Sammobile, how do I flash it with Odin?
I've never done it before but as far as I know first you have to download the pit file that matches your firmware version. Then you have to open odin click AP select your firmware then select pit in pit window and check re-partition in options and flash.
Maybe a stupid question but have you tried flashing just firmware (without pit and repartition)? If not then try this, it should fix the device in most cases, if odin display fail and in the log the last thing installing was hidden.img then extract it from firmware that you were flashing and flash it alone then reboot. After rebooting apps may crash all the time, so go to recovery and do full wipe.
I indeed tried flashing the original firmware with Odin, but it just ends in a bootloop where the phone restarts in the middle of the optimization of the applications. I will try to move over a ROM with ADB and then install to see if that helps.
Hi Vegar. I had a similar issue. I used Kies from Samsung for PC and in the menu there is something like emergency restore of the phone or something like that. It will wipe all data. But helped for me.
