hello, thanks, but wanna ask, are the cf root files not stock rom specific. anyways i flashed back to a stock GB ROM together with its pit file and things seem to be abit better, only now it gives an error saying the zip file is bad. does that means its corrupt or any ideas. hope downloading the customs with an accelerator doesnt currpt the files in anyway.
forgive my noobidity.

hey know what, i deleted the ROMs from the sd card and re-saved them voila its working, i think they got corrupt from continously trying to install them. thanks. :laugh::good:
good morgning guys ,
i bought a S3 some days after lunch from my O2 provider.
one bad thing is, O2 uses a branded firmware.
i searched xda for threats with original firmwares, but i can´t find my version.
I want to use a custom firmware or try some one.
but i feel bedder, if i have my original version as backup.
that means all three files, csc, phone and pda.
at the moment i think about some roms like:
- CM9
- CM10
- Lite'ning ROM v1.0 - Fast as Lightning
So, i think the best kernel will be SiyahKernel S3 v1.5.1.
one solution will be to backup with titanum backup. i bought the licence, but this requires a rooted kernel, i don´t flashed yet.
I thougth about, but i want ti do it first, i have all 3 files at home.
can anyone help me?
greetz,

use this program to download your stock firmware.
root your phone with cf-root, flash cm9/10. test it out.
when you wanna go back to stock, use triangle away, wipe everything in CWM and flash your stock firmware back with odin.
If you get messaging app errors on boot (usually happens when you go back to stock from cm) you will need to flash your CSC in the corresponding section in Odin and wipe in stock recovery.

Hmmm. Do you wipe data/cache/dalvik after flashing?
i do wipe everything BEFORE flashing, but i did tried to wipe cache/dalvik after flash, i did everything, i waited for 30mins for it to boot, i also flashed a rom that worked for me, but it still goes stuck on galaxy logo, all i can do is a nandroid backup and flash a stock rom via odin. help me out guys, don't know what to do with it.

You mean that it used to work and now it doesn't?
let me elaborate it, so everything was working, i can switch to different roms, i'm actually on Toldo's Jellybean version 6, so what i did was update to the latest version to version 7, and that is where this started, all i get from it is on galaxy tab logo, so what i did was go back to stock and tried to reflash it again, ( i did install cwm and root, of course ) and it still persist, so i did was flash a rom that i know is working for me, tried 2 roms that used to work for me but no luck, what happen to my tab? did version 7 of jellybean rom have to do with it? i did a normal wipe. and i know what i did with it, so what happen?
and now kies don't recognize my phone for update, what happen to my tab??????????
I really don't know... Did you ask in the rom's forum? Listen, try to use a pit file with odin and start over!
http://www.mediafire.com/?7obe8a5ne0tgc4p
can you please give an instruction? what do i do with it? re-flash my stock rom and this pit??

Tab in download mode, just like you flash a rom. But use only the pit file and put it in the pit section in odin! After the flashin is complete, then put the tab in download mode again and flash the rom!!
if i may ask? what do the .pit file do?
and should i wipe it before installing the stock rom?
btw, thanks for shedding some light, if this does not work, well gonna stick with ics stock rom

pit repartitions the tab. Flash it, then close odin, then fire it up again and then flash stock ics.
oh my................ dude, i had a heart attack on this one, i did was wipe the tab, then do pit file, and then tab restarts back to download mode, then flash stock rom, then it like hang on the samsung logo after the boot animation, so i did was reflash rom and it magically says pass. is that okay??
Well, if it finally boots up, yes!
well i thought that will solve the problem, but i can't still flash any custom roms, so anyone have an idea???????????????????????
Did you tell your story to toldo? Maybe he can help!
i can't actually post on the thread, because of i'm a new member, but i pm'd him, he told me to go back to stock and just reflash v7, i did that just now after the repartion of .pit file. but no luck, oh my, i'm running out of patience here, saw a thread about unflashable gs2, but don't know where to find the bootloaders, kernel, phone and csc for the tab, or that's in the tar file already on stock rom?
They are indeed in the stock.tar
is there anyway i can put my tab into a full stock?? i mean back on state where i like first bought it? maybe that's the only way to make it work? if now, well i need to face the stock roms.
Well maybe flash a honeycomb rom from www.sammobile.com??
i did that too, no luck, ohhh. am i the only who encountered this?
Hi all,
I've been having a few issues with my S2 (Randomly resetting, freezing, etc) - so I decided to do a factory reset - but it hasn't worked.
When I turn my phone on, it wont go past the galaxy logo. I've tried holding down VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME - but it doesn't boot it into recovery mode.
I've downloaded odin (the phone is rooted) and was told to download a new ROM and then use the PDA button on odin. But the only file type it expects is MD5, tar and SMD. Whenever I download a ROM, I just get a ZIP?
I'm probably being stupid. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, I just want the phone working.

What ROM do you want to flash?
If it's a stock ROM, then extract the zip file and flash the contained tar/md5 file with Odin.
If it is a custom ROM and only provided as CWM-flashable zip file, then use a stock ROM to flash first and flash the custom ROM afterwards, when everything works again.
Here you can get the latest stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, or pre-rooted stock ROMs from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071, or use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/ to check for the latest officiallly released firmware versions for your phone in your region and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't care which ROM I use - As long as I get the phone working again. I did download 7comp ROM but I couldn't find any .tar files?
I also converted the ZIP to a TAR but odin isn't picking it up ?!
OK - I've downloaded and installed the latest stock ROM you posted.
It seems to have installed, but doesn't go past the splash screen which says samsung galaxy Sii
Any ideas?
[EDIT] - Phone fixed. I was able to load it into recovery mode and cleared cache. woo
Well done ...now try to go on recovery mode ...if should be able to go....do full wipe...then clear delvik cache...then advance- fix permission ..
Then reboot system ....you are done...
Don't forget to say thanks..

Attempted to root the phone but it didn't work.
I followed a set of instructions, and was asked to wait for the phone to reboot. It now has the "!" rooted icon but won't go past the rooted screen.
System restore and clearing cache doesn't set it back to factory default. Any ideas?

Sorry for late reply. I followed a video on youtube showing you how to root the phone. It looked succesfull as the "!" did appear, but it wouldn't go past that.
So I rolled it back using the original ROM and have given up on rooting it. It's a shame as I really liked Jelly Bean

I am a newbie from Nepal. I dont have much knowledge of flashing. A week ago i tried to flash CMW recover while i was in resurrection remix JB rom. Till then i am not able to start my phone because it freezes at "Samsung Galaxy S2" logo... Now i dont know the CSC, PDA and kernel version of my mobile. So please help me solve my problem, how can i make it work?
Boot into recovery (Turn phone off. Then hold home/power/volume up) & do a wipe/factory reset. Or if you have a recent backup (or any backup) restore that from recovery. I've done this a couple of times over the past few mths when my phone has spontaneously bootlooped.
didnt help

I can boot into CWM recovery but the wipe/factory reset and cache deletion too would not help.. I dont have any backup and i am not able to access my external sd card too... so please can you help me now...
Boot into download mode (Phone off. Home, power, volume down) & flash a stock rom in Odin; go to Samfirmware or AndroidFirmwares.net & get a stock rom (or get the PC version of Checkfus). Flashing instructions here

Sorry i cant access my external sd card in CWM recovery and i dont know how to access internal memory of my phone since it can only boot into recovery and download mode...
In that case flash any stock rom you like. I gather you'll be going back to a custom rom pretty quickly in any case (?) so it doesn't matter. Whatever you do tho, do not flash a PIT.

All I can do is download a rom which is in zip format, but i know odin does not support .zip but it supports .tar, so how can i download rom in .tar, also does it matter if I flashed the rom which is not meant for my region?(I mean I dont know my phone's PDA and I am not able to decide which firmware to download since every firmware has its own specific PDA)... Yes, I'll be going back again to custom rom after I make it work...haha
AFAIK a rom for another country wont break your phone, but be careful with 4.0.4 roms because of the brickbug

go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and choose the stock or even another stock rom you wish, download it.
Boot into download mode and flash the single .tar file through odin, flashing instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
PD: if the downloaded file is .zip and not .tar, just extract the zip and u'll get the .tar

Amm, now i have a android 4.0.4 firmware in odin supported format.. and i am about to flash using odin.. but i got confused what did you mean by "but be careful with 4.0.4 roms because of the brickbug".. Please explain me... And thankx in advance..
He means don't do a wipe/factory reset from recovery while you're running that kernel. Once you switch to a custom kernel you can relax tho.

Parameter is incorrect error can be caused by either of two reasons
1 . something is wrong with the file you downloaded try re downloading
2.Kies is interfering with Odin, terminate Kies from the background by using the task manager.
