Hi guys,
Today I updated my galaxy alpha. I wanted to know: where I find the news?
I installed G850FXXU2BNK3
Thanks to all
I would like do the same but I can't use odin software because i have a mac. If i try to update with adb method when i use the line
Code:
./adb sideload File-name.zip
the stock recovery answer with E: Footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed. however i download the firmware by sammobile.com and i belive that is the safe site.
Anyone know why?
(Sorry for my bad english)

Did you try Heimdall and official tar file from sammobile.com?

it would be a good time to test our device too
For flashing a firmware I must have a .pit file... but when I use the function for download it the log of heimdall answer me in this way:

Hi,
I'm in China and have a genuine S5830. However, typical of foreign firmware, it's all designed and geared to Chinese.
What I want:
English apps and the phone recognized as English, not Chinese, as the default install language. (I have the English language option, but most apps assume I'm Chinese. Also, there's no Android Market in China.)
I'm guessing that my IP address is sometimes to blame, but I'd like an English firmware to reduce the problem. I'm hoping a full-blown English-market firmware will install more in English.
What I've tried:
Downloaded this file: S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5
from http://www.samfirmware.com/ as a UK 2.3.5 single-file install
Opened ODIN Odin3 v1.85 and followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But it sticks on 'setupconnection'.
I've searched elsewhere and tried changing USB ports and re-checked the sequence; as well as being quick with the process.
The phone is always on "Downloading" but no progress bar.
Odin reports various COM numbers - highlighted yellow - depending on the USB ports I try.
But nothing happens. I can close ODIN, or just pull the USB and the phone is unharmed - nothing has happened.
Any ideas? Is there a better flash program now?
Will an English firmware solve the all-Chinese apps on the Samsung Apps and Android Market (when I get it)?
I plan to try a windows 7 32-bit machine tomorrow. Currently on Win7 64.
Thanks in advance for any help.
David.
A letter to newbies.
You have a s5830, so please stick to the guides here on XDA specially made for it, than everything should be fine.
=> [TUTORIAL] How to upgrade, root, flash ... by hubix
As you can see: The ODIN version 4.38 is the recommended one to flash Samsung stock roms.
There you can even watch the video how to accomplish the task.
Next you should read and try to understand this:
=> A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace by EmoBoiix3
Those are pinned threads in their subforums. It's always a good starting point to read up this threads first. That's the reason, why they're stickies in the first place.
If you can't understand everything after the first time going through the guides, than things will be clearer on the second or third round. Try to google the informations you need more clarifications on. Maybe you can help other new members and add some missing or more clear instructions.
If you're at the end of your research and can't find any solution on your own, than other XDA members surely will help to solve the problem you've encountered by posting a new relevant thread.

Sorry, I thought development was for developers, as in developing apps etc. for the android. I've flashed various bit of hardware over time (Still not an expert) and usually found the information in a rooting/modding forum.

I had already seen this, but it has massive bold lettering which seemed to suggest it didn't work. I did read through the thread, but found no new information and it was messier than the link in my first post that I had already found by searching this forum.

Yes. I'm fully aware. However, my search didn't find this page, it found the page in my first post. Google searches kept bringing me back to your forum, which is a wonderfully complex treasure trove of information.

Already did. Over 2 hours spent searching and your forum link in the first post was the best I found, and ODIN was mentioned in many forums. A search for ODIN on google gave me a forum that linked to the latest Odin as this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/fb/flash/Odin3 v1.85.zip/download?use_mirror=tenet and as it was sourceforge, I assumed it was the latest.

I understand you get many new people on here who never search. Your forum is massive. I made the mistake of not looking specifically in "development" as you look like an app developer site. Developers get heavily involved in stuff I know nothing about and, as I said, I usually find firmware updates in a modding/rooting forum.
I'll look at the details here, which seems to have links to files and be exactly what I'm looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
However, the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=570045&d=1302939745 to the Odin multidownloader is only 257 bytes and doesn't work.
Please bear in mind I'm in China and although my proxy can get Facebook, Youtube and most other sites to work, we cannot use multiupload/megaupload on any browser with any proxy.
Thank you for your help.
David.
Edit: So far all links searching for Odin 4.38 are on multiupload.com and I cannot access them. Frustrating!
did you get the cooper.ops file?
Just asking cuz you never mentioned it...

Thanks SGA. I want to follow the instructions on the link Tossan gave (C. Flashing the newest firmware, but I can't download Odin. For some reason it is <300 bytes in size; although reporting as a .rar file, nothing can open it.
The Odin I downloaded from sourcefourge (v1.85) is 417KB and opens/runs properly.
I have the firmware; checksum verified.
Where can I find the other files, not on mega/multiupload?
David.
The Odin you want is 4.38. Searching "Odin Multi 4.38" on Google you should find it. It's 444kb in size, and often an rar file extension. You'll need cooper_v1.ops too.
I'd post a link but I'm on my phone, sorry...

If you've managed to download the rom from samfirmware.com, than you should also try to download Odin directly from there (-> Flashprograms / Flashguides).
You should report to hubix in his thread about the Odin file attachement problem, to give him a chance to correct it and other users to benefit from your discovery.

Sorry, I couldn't download from there, I looked at the file ID and searched online; finally found it on Hotfile.
I'll let hubix know regards the files. Thanks for the suggestion.
The good news is it worked! My wife is very happy to be able to read English on her phone now.
Regards,
David.
Edit: I learned I needed "Odin Multi Downloader v4.38" for the S5830, and as I had a one package install I had to:
1) On ODIN click the OPS button and load the Cooper_v1.0.ops file on it that I downloaded.
2) Click on the One Package button then select and load the Single S5830XWKS3_S5830XWKS2_S5830VIRKP1_HOME.tar.md5 file.
3) Click start and let it do it's magic.
Hello,
can someone please tell me where I can download stock rom for Samsung Galaxy S2 XWKF3?
Hidsver and product code is

Product code: GT-I9100LKASMO
I would like to flash it back to original as bought since services here in Serbia are ridiculously picky when it comes to warranty on products and due to my own stupidity I have deleted nandroid backup...

Here is a potential working PIT file for the P600 on MK1 (32gb):

I did a windiff on our 2 analysis files and the only difference was the file names and dates.. shouldn't they have had some variance due to 32 vs 16 gb?
The only issue is none of these are samsung signed so they fail the usual ODIN method.

Samsung has to release one. I have the Source but it doesn't seem to be anywhere obvious.
Or we find a way to flash the PIT without signature analysis.
Here is mine. I guess it is only useful for ppl who is from Turkey cos Samsung created a model which called sm-p602 only for here (Which is almost same with p601 but dont have phone call feature. Meanwhile i am trying to port p601 firmware to this device but i dont have a useful pit. I tried lsherif's pit file yet seems like there are a problem with the pit cos it is not re-partitioning my device and also when i check with pit magic i got error. So an 16 gb sm-p601 pit will be useful if someone upload

So anyway to signed them Cuz I'm suffering from some proplems and no pit file can work on my s6500 via Odin so I created pit file from this method anyway to flash it or sign it to be flashable via odin

Sorry to ask such a stupid question...but what the heck does a PIT file do that helps out? Not trying to be an ass, just don't get it. Or is it just another name for the firmware file?
don't recall it being called a PIT when i was working on my previous samsung devices anyways....i had one of these tablets but returned it because there was zero dev going on - now there's a small amount, but it's just not seeming to be worth the huge cost of the device to me. Which sucks, because it's a killer unit... if samsung was to release the LTE model in north america then that would be more alluring... HEAR ME SAMSUNG? RELEASE IT DAMNIT!
Hello i tried to execute the script but it doesn't work. I see cmd screen opening and closing very fast. Can somebody make a tuto to extract .pit file.
Thanks
The PIT Files are essentially useless unless we find a signed version or another method of flashing it to the device.
Hello. Can someone upload sm-p605 16GB pit file. I bricked my tablet so I can't do anything, and I think I damaged my hidden - /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 I guess I was formatted it wrong format. I can't flash any ROM's via Odin, I can flash recovery, root using Odin.

You need a proper root - Super SU; a proper installed Busybox then plug it into PC, open EFS professional or some program that allow to extract all partition you need. That's at least thing I knew from owning Note 2.
