Hi Guys;
I need help with a flash of SG Ace S5830, the stock rom was Spanish Vodafone Gingerbread, I don`t remember exactly what it was.
I followed the instrucctions to flash with Odin V4.38 the last rom of samfirmware: XENKP7 but when the cell was restarted it showed me : Can't acess /system/csc/LUX,
When the phone started, I connected it by usb but when I tried to disconnect the debug mode this went back to on. The drivers were installed correctly but when I tried to access to the unit this hadn't format.
I checked the storage and my cell only recognized the internal memory, not the SD.
I was looking for information in the forum and the network and I didn't found any. I don't know what the problem with the csc is.
Please could you help me?
Thanks
You need the LUX CSC. Try following instructions on the thread on multi-csc in the development subforum. That may help you.
Hello Consegregate,
I was read the post of multi-csc but I don't know exactly what CSC I have to download,
I try to flash with the same as version of firmware, please could you say me what and wher CSC I have to download to EU?
Thanks
Hello everyone
I have a SII E120L with
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-120L.EL22.1023
Baseband: E120L.EL.0843LT
with the following problems:
- I can' t connect to a network
- I can't enter download mode.
I tried:
- upgrade via Kies: get your device does not support uipgrade via Kies
firmware version: E120LKRFB05/E120LKRFB05/E120LKREL21/E120LKREL21 (LGT)
- usb dongel to enter download mode: doesn't work
- when I connect the usb cable; and do the 3 button procedure when the green battery appears, then I can enter download mode, but the screen turns blank aftyer 2 seconds. I can see in Odin that the USB port is detetected but flashing results in an error (see pic1)
- I tried adb shell reboot download. This results in the download mode, but disapears after 2 seconds.
- I tried to root the device via DooMLoRD tootlkit but this results in an error:
failed to copy 'files\Superuser.apk' to '/system/app/./Superuser.apk': Read-only file system
I'd would like to be able to
- flash new firmware
and/or
- root the phone and so I can restore an efs.img file on the sdcard.
Can someone help me please?

Dude... he has an SII HD LTE. (E120L) Which has different CPU/SoC/GPU than the I9100.
I am about 95% certain I9100 firmwares will NOT WORK on his phone, and may, in fact, make his situation worse.

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

Thanks for your help ctomgee, I realy appreciate it.
I manage to root the phone by flashing the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.recovery.tar and installing the zip file in recovery mode.
I still can't connect to a network and I can't flash new firmware. All the flashing ends with an error that the NAND or amss.bin can't be writen to the phone.
Someoine has an idea what I can try now?

The problem that I couln't enter download mode or root my phone is solved with your help.
I still have a probem with the radio/basebad, but I'll post that in another thread.
I bought my girlfriend an unlocked at&t note for use with T-Mobile. She is having a bad echo when making and taking calls. And even when she is not on the phone sometimes it goes straight to voicemail when someone calls her. It is on the stock 2.3.6, nonrooted firmware. So I figured if I updated to ics or jb that might help and I want her to be on up to date android. My problem is when I try to update to ICS 4.0.4 with Kies it will go through all the motions but when the phone goes into download mode it is no longer recognized by the computer and the update stalls an the phone just sits in Odin mode. I've tried to refresh the stock Odin tar using Odin but the same problemarises the computer won't recognize the phone while it's in download mode. I know the drivers are installed because when I plug in the phone it will pop up autoplay but it just doesn't work while the phone is in download mode. PLEASE any help is welcomed because I want my girl to STFU with all her complaiBing. Many thanks in advance
If you still have the stock ATT modem on the device, you need to flash the blaze modem for T-Mobile ...(my advice )
You will need to push a CWM recovery image to the device.( effectively giving you root access ).
Then download the blaze modem .zip from the super thread in the general section, and flash the modem with your new clockwork mod recovery.
Odin can be picky with devices. Make sure you have the latest Odin version, and it's clean.
Next, you need the correct cable ...(stock Samsung cable )...if possible.
Next ....only use a rear pc mainboard port, not a front low priority port.
This often causes time out errors, as priority tasks will close non-priority ports.
Odin is also susceptible to anti-virus programs, and you should temporarily turn off these programs when using Odin, then turn them on when finished.
The super thread has many links to other threads describing the "how to " aspects of T-Mobile connection, and they will help as well.
And lastly ....tell the little lady that STFU means ...I've almost got it done ....LOL ...
Happy flashing ....g
I have a bricked 5830i. It will enter download mode but I cannot get it into recovery mode ( power & Home? ) After multiple attempts I have got the PC to load the drivers successfully & recognise the phone is connected to the PC.
It is UK unlocked, not rooted and I have the single firmware file.
My problem it is not recognised by Odin 3.84 at all. Earlier versions do recognise it, v1.85, v3.07, v3.10 but they do not have the single package option.
Can anyone tell me how to use the earlier versions of Odin or point me to a reliable firmware link for the multiple files?
Thanks
Dave

You didn't say anything about your Carrier nor your CSC/PDA/MODEM parts mate , regardless i troubleshooted some fellow from Great BT : start reading from the line "1. Download one of the newest non wipe,,,,,,,," @ post#4 of this topic and keep doing what exactly i said there to resolve recovery issues plus pc recognition by Oidn and other stuff .
Assistance provided through pm as he requested and problem solved .
If anything is not clear enough or you got more questions you may ask me through pm directly or ask here mate .
Okay I have seen various requests so I decided to hook it up, I had to pay for these but here ya go. I have full firmware for lollipop or kitakat and you can get them from the following links to my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxcLJPerShJ_ZDJrNV9fRVBSdU0&usp=sharing
Within you will see two folders you can pick either kitkat or lollipop and to do a full flash download the files starting with ALL then flash with odin by placing in the pda section. The others shouldnt even be needed if your looking just to fully flash the device use the ones that start with the label ALL. Enjoy. Wish someone could get the bootloader unlocked for this variant. If their are any other variants that need firmware let me know ill see what i can do.
I am curious could i perhaps flash the csc for tmobile then maybe my dev settings let me unlock bootloader like tmobile variant? I am not certain but I feel like it could possibly
Any luck with that ? ? I bought this phone on Valentines Day with android 5.1.1. The first thing I did was download Your stock firmwares cuz I knew it was gonna be a start of another journey with another Samsung device with lil to no development for it. Been doing research daily since then, You've been the most helpful & informative for Our cricket variant of the Grand Prime.

If I doesn't turn on at all. Then it's bricked. To make sure. Switch the battery or charge it. If it still doesn't turn on there is nothing you can do. But if you can get into Odin and download mode. There is hope and I have the files you'll need to salvage it.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this damn SM-G530AZ (5.1.1) ?? I've tried numerous methods and suggestions but so far this thing just won't give in....

Layman instructions?
I just want to root my phone so that I can save whole apps on my sd card to free up so much space.
I'm just a layman though and have no idea what's being talked about or what the files are that you're sharing. I would really appreciate step by step layman instruction. Thank you so much if you can do that!

their is no bootloader unlock or custom recovery for the 530az that i am aware of, so i never could make a nandroid backup. If you know of a way to actually use a custom recovery etc on the 530az I would make you a backup.

That´s the history. I recieve the samsung (sm-g530az), but the smartphone don´t connect to wifi, when you choose the network only appear "Saved, Protected". No matter how much times you select the network, always appear the same thing and the device do nothing. Well, i thinked in that moment in change the firmware. I read in this forum a possible solution, that solution says "Download the Samsung Kies, then connect your device and select -upgrade your device-. Type your model and S/N, and Kies does the rest". I did it, everything seemed fine, until the process stopped. And an error message appears that says "Disconnect the phone and retire the battery, then turn on + ^ + home to start the emergency recovery". I did it all, but when i connect it, my pc, odin and kies don´t recognize it, my Samsung died. I put the phone in download mode and nothing happens. I reinstall the driver, kies and everything and odin at last recognize my device. Then I dowloaded "Philiz Touch Recovery" and I could flash it with odin. After all, I clean my device and prepare it for a custom rom. I installed it "cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial", but when restart the device, it doesn't enter to the system, only boot in recovery or bootloader. But my pc don´t recognize my device in download mode, and I can´t flash it with odin. So I need the backup to restore my device.
Try to install "Philiz Touch Recovery" with Odin. I did it, and works for me. When I recieved the samsung, i don´t unlocked the device and I could flash the CWM. Thanks for your response

ya i think you messed up royally, their is no working philz or cwm for the 530AZ at all because the bootloader is locked soooo i dont see how you ever flashed it with that in the first place, but if you indeed were able to then it looks like you have a soft brick of sorts since the bootloader is locked on that model, their is firmware but you for some reason are unable to flash with odin so sadly I am not sure what else you could do other than maybe see if it is recognized on other usb ports or computer also check your device manager in windows and check and see if the usb device is listed if it shows a yellow exclamation or unknown device then manually update the driver for the unknown device as an android device

Hello, I know is late. Is already 2017 happy new year. But i was looking the post and reading the thread. I'm looking this information to try on my friend phone that want to root. Anyway. I maybe have a solution to fix the bootloop. since you went to philz recovery. There is a bug with philz recovery. If im correct. But i got it fixed with some zip file and using command on that flash. If you still need this solution let me know. I can post the zip file and step by step of the command.

Sorry for the file "CROM_Service.apk" for what?

HEY I REALLY NEED THAT!
I don't have the actual CWM on my phone yet. I just got it today. I already have it rooted, deodexed, and debloated(somewhat).
I was able to root it using kingroot. I'm still working for a way to replace the newest kingroot(5.1.0) with SuperSU.
But my question is does it actually work? Have you flashed the tar with odin and fix the code in it with commands.
Just reading your post gives me chills honestly. I like doing things as soon as I can! I'm a phoneaholic.
