So when I tried flashing a combination file it sent back a failed status, & said reasoning was because of something pertaining to the Re Partition.. (not sure on exact phrase at this moment ) but with the help of google I found that its basically saying my pit file is not being recognized. So im trying to find out if anyone knows where I can Download a Pit file for Samsung Galaxy A102USQS4ASK4 or if someone can direct me with step by step instructions on how to create my own Pit file ?
Also I am not rooted so the extraction method wobt work. And I want to flash a combination file so I can find phantom OEM so I can then unlock bootloader and root.
Ps. The whole goal behind all of this is to recover some of my deleted text messages and photos. Any other options on how PLEASE let me know @amirizad_7436 I'm tagging you because you were such a big help last time
Thanks ahead of time, Rayne

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?
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.

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.
Hello everybody,
At first I would like to thank you for the anwers you'll post
I'm new in that forum and i hope to find a solution for my trouble
So I installed some apk on my viewpad in order to have the market and to create a google count
But my tablet switch off suddenly and reboot continuely
I found a firware on this site F70_VSAM__ etc and I installed it in recovery mode
but there were a missing file which coundln't be installed : tmp/userdata
I want to tell when I was on recovery mode I made a reset factory but nothing change
Did I eraise all the data on my tablet
The problem is I can't send it to repair because it was rooted with gingerbreak
Have you got some solutions for me ?
I would be very glad to read your post
Thanks so much
I would try to redownload update for and try to update again. Verify file size and or checksum after downloading.
I have not done a factory reset on mine so i can not verify the outcome of a factory reset other than I would bet that all personal data has been removed. Not sure if it effects root.
Also, after you are able to update, you will have to root again using same method.
thanks so much for your answer
but I tried many times and two kind of files and it's the same every time
how could i put a file root and where could i find it ?
Which recovery mode are you in when you try to update? I know that vol up + power on is a different mode than vol down + power on. Have yet to figure what the difference is between the two are.
I have decompressed the update file that i have and there is a userdata.img file in it. Not sure how to tell it to install/update that file.
Mabye you might try different sd card if available.
Also just wondering if it is able to boot, and how far it might get during a normal boot.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA
so I used power + up to access the recovery mode and i don't know the difference between the two modes
i decompressed the package and i haven't got the userdata.img file in it and I think that's the trouble
the boot lasts about more than a minute, there are the picture of the birds then after it's written Viewsonic, it's loading for maybe 30s then it reboots
could you give me a copy of your userdata.img i could try to put it on the package
and the link where you find it
thanks so much
I can post up the file but I would not be until tomorrow. I am at work and have all that on my computer at home.
ok I don't mind
I will wait until tomorrow or after
take your time
thanks so much
Try this. I noticed that userdata.img was not in the root of the file but was in fact_recovery.img. Since I can not post that large of a file, and you have extracted the complete update, copy fact_recovery.img to root of sd card. Rename it update.zip and try to get the tablet to install that. With any luck all should go well. The only items in that file are userdata and userstorage, it should not effect any other parts. If you don't have that file let me know and I can post it up somewhere on the web.
i want to thank you so much for your help
yesterday i send a email to the viewsonic's website and today a guy from ups came to take the tablet
so it goes on repair
i hope they could repair it because it was rooted before the trouble
we keep in touch
Sorry for the late !

Hello, please help me.
I rooted my phone few months back and it was working fine.
I had the brilliant idea of trying to back everything up so i can install the stock rom to get the new 4.1.2 update on my note 2 from verizon.
I downloaded this recommended back up app that only works on rooted phones.
After i downloaded and installed, it went blank and it said i had an invalid system something and i needed to take to the verizon store.
I did that, they told me they cant help obviously because its a rooted phone
i tried following steps in installing the stock rom such as:
Getting odin:
Installing the driver:
But when i download the file from various sources and extract, it does not become a valid file name to load into odin.
I tried many roms and none of them work.
I tried extracting with 7zip win zip winrar, and nothing works.
I keep getting the file .xz
someone please help me get my phone back to work.
I cant do anything...now i get a new message saying the firware is invalid or something.
Im so desperate im not sure what else to do.
Thank you for reading this.
the .xz is fine. click on pda, then click on file extension and types, select all, the file should show up. select it, hit start and odin will verify the md5.
I really don't know what I'm doing anymore. I'm new to the rooting, and I tried to do my research before hand, but I can't find the solution I need.
Anyways,
This is my problem: my phone is currently in a bootloop, and when I try to load the factory restore on, this is what I get as an error:
The threads completed are 0/0
View attachment 2405944
These are the files I am using currently
View attachment 2405943
I've done a lot of the basic stuff, like restarted computer, re installed Samsung drivers, all that good stuff, but if I could get someone knowledgeable to help, it would mean a lot.
For the phone, I'm using the GT-I9300 international edition, in the united states under the mobile carrier AT&T.
Any and all help appreciated,

Hey
Try doing it this way:
1. go to "http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/" and download the correct and latest firmware for your region.
2. extract the downloaded file ONCE ONLY.
3. open odin3 and select pda and select the extracted file.
4. connect your phone in download mode and hit start.
DONT USE THE PIT FILE AND MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS UNCHECKED.
Let me know if it works..
As you have spammed the board with three identical posts suggest you read the rules followed by the faqs and guides .
First you need to decide what phone you actually have .I9300 ATT or what .
Your first link is not factory restore .
Why are you flashing a boot loader ???
Basics read first.

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.
