Hi Everyone
I tried out cyanogen mod yesterday and ive decided that as good as it is, it isnt for me. Ive downloaded the latest stock rom for vodafone uk from sammobile but when i try to install it using CWM it keeps failing saying "Can't open /sdcard/19300xxell5_I9300VFGELLI_vod_2.zip (bad). The zip extracts without errors in windows so im sure its not corrupt. Does anyone have any ideas i could try to get it installed.

Stock Samsung firmware needs to be flashed with Odin 3.04 in downloadmode, not in CWM. But reset the flash counter first with Triangle Away.

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.
can flash cm7 GT-i9100G ????
Go to intratech's thread about firmwares and download from there. And don't use PIT. You don't need it.

Hi!
After flashing my stock Gingerbread rom to CM9 (through CWmod) I decided I wanted to switch to a more stable ICS rom (was running an old version of CM9). This time I tried to use odin and got a fail (NAND), giving me the "Connect to kies" screen. Unable to get into recovery, but can get into download.
So after this I tried flashing a few kernels (after failing to use the softbrick recovery method on this forum), all of which passed and left me at the Samsung splash screen (still unable to get to recovery). I then tried flashing Siyah and lo and behold it allowed me to get into recovery, prompting me to flash FoxHound via zip (one of the only .zip roms I could find). After this I tried to use ODIN again, only to have it fail on me again. This time siyah would not even work, and after trying many other kernels (all of them saying they had passed) a earlier version of siyah worked, and I am now running the FoxHound rom that was on there.
I would quite like to go back to the official Gingerbread rom and then update through KIES, can anybody shed some light on whats happening? Do I have a NAND corruption even though I am able to use the phone at the moment with foxhound? If I wanted to put Gingerbread back on will ODIN play nice?
Thanks!
P.S. Did all the usual of using different cables and making sure kies is not running whatsoever!

Just download an official Gingerbread Firmware from Samfirmware and flash it through Odin. It should work. You will then loose CWM and Root of course but after that you should get updates via Kies.
And do not check Re-Partition in Odin when it`s not a 3 part Firmware.
Maybe try mobile odin pro-that eliminates ALL pc problems.

hi all,
im new to the forum but read up on here lots of times. i reluctantly have to now beg for help as im at my wits end here. i rooted my s3 phone a month ago after it kept crashing with the stock samsung fw on it. So i rooted and used odin 3 to install cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip. this was great for two month then all of a sudden, no reason the phone kept restarting and not getting past the samsung logo screen again, yes the phone has issues so i then wanted to install the stock firmwre and use triangle app to zero the counter. stupidity on my part i foolishly loaded the wrong file and loaded cm-10.1-20130504-nightly-i9100.zip . great firmware but not what i wanted.
so i installed the custom one which kept aborting loading from external sd saying something about unable to verify signature. i have also tried to load the origional custom firmware cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip but nothing will load now. and no firmware will load and again it wont get past the logo screen. My only saving grace is that i can still get into downloading mode and the boot mode with the up key.
Please please help if you can
Sincerely
Fei
Try flashing a stock Samsung rom via odin from your pc, if that doesn't work then probably a new motherboard is required.
yeah i did try that . im getting E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
im using android system recovery <3e>
i was using something ele prior to this, not sure what

That's the stock recovery. I don't believe that will flash firmware, which is why you get the error, before you probably had CWM.
As said before, go to download mode and flash a stock rom from sammobile through odin, if it doesn't work. I think it may be bricked (someone more experienced may disagree though)

thanks mate. ill try now
Ok, so I think I have really screwed up. I was updated to the latest update. I then tried to root using the terminal emulator process and wasn't sure if I succeeded. So I tried to unroot by trying to use Odin to put an earlier stock rom on my Verizon GS4. I got a fail error in Odin and a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it and an error on the phone that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I tried connecting through Kies, but the phone would not connect. I have tried (with what I think are earlier stock ROMs) to fix it through Odin. I keep getting the same error on my phone and can't get past it. The only other thing I can do on my phone is get into download mode. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have the same problem. Basically whats wrong is the new update that both you and I did on the S4 locked the bootloader. What his means basically is it cannot be downgraded to earlier stock firmwares. So what we need to use in Odin is the stock file for the Build VRUAME7 Android 4.2.2 not the older one thats Build VRUAMDK. Now I have not been able to find this Stock file anywhere. If you'd like to join the search it would be awesome. Haha
The me7 odin image is in the dev section.

Hey guys,
I'll start by saying that I wouldn't normally post like this so please don't overlook or shoot me down too harshly. I have done extensive searching on XDA and google and found nothing yet so if this has been answered, please simply point me in the right direction.I have experience in rooting and custom roms and what not yet I cannot seem to root my I9300 (JB 4.3 build; i9300xxugnd3).
I have tried the Odin-CFroot way. With three different version of CFroot, several versions of Odin (as admin) and all the USB ports I have.
I also checked that kies wasn't running at all yet still this method just freezes at recovery.img until I stop it (Even waited an hour plus!!)
Also tried the K1mu safe root which simply froze at "sending files to device" and nothing happens either.
I simply want to root the phone, Is that too much!
Cheers

Can you flash normally with Odin? Try a factory reset then flash the latest stock firmware, if that works then try CFautoroot again.
If the firmware fails to flash then you have emmc issues.

I think it's already running the latest stock. I'll try again after work today but I don't seem to be getting anywhere fast at this point.

I have no custom recovery and stock recovery cannot flash that package. I also cannot flash any custom recovery.

I have tried flashing a couple of CWM Touch imgs and CFroots but they fail. Odin 3.07+3.09 still freezes at "recovery.img" but Odin 3.04+3.06 and 1.85 finishes at "<ID:0/009> Complete(Write) operation failed." - I am currently trying to download a stock image from Samobile but they have a server issue so its going to be really slow. Any ideas in the meantime?
