After searching around in the forum, I have a specific question I cannot find the answer to.
I am presently on the overcome 2.2.0 Rom (P7510, XWKL1). The result of this is that, of course, it cannot be updated through KIES.
My Kies downloaded a file for upgrading my 7510, which can be found on the harddisk, and is XWKL1 stock for my Dutch region (PHN). The Overcome Rom is XAB.
In preparation for ICS (stock, coming in the next two months I hope), I would like to go back to the stock XWKL1 for PHN.
I am stuck as to the procedure though:
1) restocking with the overcome restocking will not be PHN as well, so Kies will not upgrade for PHN
2) I have found the firmware upgrade file on my harddisk, but is has no extension and therefor I do not know how to install this over overcome 2.2.0. How do I turn this file into something I can flash?
Who can give me the precise instructions here?
Hi I'm also looking for a long time to a Dutch ROM PHN csc
You'll have to use Odin and a stock firmware from samfirmware.com
You also have the flashing guide on the same site
I installed the ROM via odin but in none of the stock ROMs is the Dutch csc present.
** Bumping this **
As I have note been able to sort out what I wanted, I'll try again with this bump.
Specifically tryin to find the answer to question 2 in my OP:
2) I have found the firmware upgrade file on my harddisk, but is has no extension and therefor I do not know how to install this over overcome 2.2.0. How do I turn this file into something I can flash?
Have searched again in the forums but did not find the answer.
All files have some sort of extension. At least in my experience. It may not show but it's still got a file type/extension. On a windows machine find the file and right click on it and choose properties. It should show xxxxx.yyy where yyy is the file type/extension. Post what it is and someone will let you know what to use it with.
This is my best suggestion.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using one stinky finger.
The file really has no extension. I have showing the extensions turned on in windows, so it would show if it had one. The filename is: XWKL1PHNKK1XWKL1XWKL1 and giving it a .zip or .rar extension does not make it readable.
I'm at a loss then. I've never seen a file that didn't end with (dot)something. I'll look more into it and hopefully someone will help before it's lost.
Sorry I couldn't help.
If you see this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
When kies downloads a firmware it saves it in a file that only Kies can read, I would however suggest you just get it downloaded from sammobile site, as they have it there, you may need to register, but I do hope their file sharing issues are rectified and the links still work... Bloody SOPA.
You could however factory reset?
I could, but Sammobile does not have this firmware/CSC combination available for download. Do you know of someway to kickstart Kies into installing the firmware it has downloaded, so I can go back to a restoch and then force the install of this firmware?

Well like I said, back then the original firmware files would consist of 3 different files, the Phone/PDA/CSC, you just need the PDA file, Apparently they've made it easier now by making sure all you need is the PDA file and just to flash that file via Odin in the *not so obvious * PDA slot, It now contains the CSC/Regional of the desired firmware and the modem.img

Just a quick question, what is a Kies file format? Is it xxxx.yyy or just xxxx with yyy being a format or extention?
Or am I just completely ignorant on this?

As far as I know the format is somewhat like xxxyyy it's just a dump file, I haven't gotten around to waste time and figure what app works best on opening/converting, and plus it's risky since if the normalboot.img doesn't get flashed you may end up with a brick but I'm pretty sure its in a md5 format or a tar atleast.
Hi, this rom is no longer on navifirm can someone upload it somewhere I've been searching it everywhere.
Rom's name
RM-820_Rogers_Canada_VAR240202_v2_Black
RM-820 Rogers Rom
Yes please , if someone has this rom could they give us a link to download it. As it no longer shows up on navifirm and I rather not flash the ATT version.
it doesnt work anyway...
What doesn't work?
You can't install it on your rogers
I bricked my Developer Lumia 920 , since developer firmware is not available. I was hoping to flash it with Rogers rom.
yeah mine too is a dev
Looks like the links on navifirm are still active, even though they don't show up in the program anymore.
I tried posting the direct links, but it wouldn't let me. I've instead attached a txt file with the links.
To be able to flash them/use them after downloading you might need to rename each file removing the checksum from the file name.
985F2CE8_RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02_100347_prd_signed.ffu
would be renamed to
RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02_100347_prd_signed.ffu
etc
If anyone can find links to the RM-820 dev firmware, or even evn just a dump(or produce a dump), it would be much appreciated.

This is a known issue with the Rogers Portico ROM, and I assume the reason it was removed. I was the first person to bring this to light on this forum, and fixed it on my phone by installing the pre-Portico ROM and doing an on device upgrade. I do not have the original ROM files anymore, but just be aware you will need the old ROM to make this work.
Does anyone have the Apollo version of the rogers Nokia 920 then ?
Update: I think this guy uploaded it I am gonna try it I'll keep you all updated
update2: it works

I recommend you don't flash the rogers firmware unless you plan on using the phone on Rogers/Fido/Chatr
It has a lot of issues with other carriers (despite being unlocked).
I bought a lumia from rogers without knowledge of these issues and now im stuck with a brand new, opened lumia that I cant use on Telus, and cant sell because WP8 isnt popular.
It would be nice if someone could get a hold of the dev ROM for the Lumia 920.

hello guys im kinda screwed here. My phone is currently bricked. I can only get into the download mode. I have a n950F/DS and i need the latest august patch firmware asap. All the sites that i visited either have 20 KB speed or requires money. Can someone that already has the firmware upload it to somewhere and give me the link or can i borrow a samfirm acount perhaps?
I have an older firmware from the march update but everytime i go to flash it with odin it gives me an error of sboot.bin and it says "sw rev check fail bootloader device 4 binary 3" on my phone. I tried flashing without the BL of the firmware but then it says kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1 on my phone.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED PLEASE HELP ME OUT KINDA PANICING

You can use SamFirm or updato.com for faster download speeds. I would just download the latest firmware for your specific variant from there, and then flash it in download mode using the latest version of Odin.

You have to flash the firmware with august patch using ODIN 3.13....+ 3 files+HOME_CSC.
If you use OXM_CSC to wipe your data you will receive this error message.
Hello,
So a friend of mine gave me his j3 Achieve to get unlocked. It has the FRP lock activated so I'm wanting to clear it by reflashing the original stock firmware to the device. However, I'm only seeming to find firmwares that are the wrong version.
I'm looking for the PVPU4BSJ2 varient of the sm-j337P firmware, anyone have a link to that?
EDIT:
So i got to looking at the PIT file from the device, and it reports the firmware version as J337PVPU1ARG3, but yet the recovery still says J337PVPU4BSJ2. So i have a feeling i need to find the PVPU1ARG3 firmware, but its nowhere to be found on the net, unless i want to pay for a subscription to some bs firmware site.
So if anyone has this version of the J3's fimware please let me know and share. Otherwise I could use some help figuring out if im even right about the version. Ive included a link to the PIT file and pics of the recovery menu and the back of the device.
I'm using Heimdall v1.4.2 on Linux Mint 19. It will sucessfully flash all the firmware images except for the system image, it keeps erroring out saying it cant open the system.img file. I suspect the image is too big (idk why since its stock, maybe I just need to use ODIN)
PIT File and screens: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VSVoLtHK5d-Sm3ja8hy_X4WJakJfvEgu
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
So I may have found the correct firmware. I found samsung-firmware.org and it seems that they have the correct version I need. However they throttle the download speeds heavily. So a trick I found is to use the commandline downloader Axel on Linux.
Using Axel gets me almost 500kbps downloads speeds instead of the 120kbps that Firefox gets.
Link included below. Make sure to get the correct region!
https://samsung-firmware.org/firmware/pda/J337PVPU4BSJ2/
EDIT:
So I've tried the firmware above and the device is still stuck in a boot loop, and i can't see to flash the system.img image. Heimdall keeps giving me an error saying it can't open the system.img file.
I also discovered that in my PIT file, it says the firmware version is J337PVPU1ARG3.
So I've tried looking for that version and I can't find it ANYWHERE.
Ain't gonna lie I'm stuck on this one, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
I am trying to flash from u to u1 however I am running into this issue Secure Check Fail Pit. I have googled for hours and can't find a solution.
So far what I know about this error is that the firmware.zip is either corrupted or it is incompatible, I have downloaded multiple u1 firmware's, and it still isn't working
Any help will be appreciated thanks.
