[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malakwal:
sim insert to access network (phone unknown)

daer i have download firmware I9003XWKB1 and update as you guide after completion of flashing every thing is fine except phone is unknown id sim is not detecting at all , no imei no shown in my phone, i tried many time flashing even another firmware also but same problem that it is not detecting the sim card saying insert sim card to access network and i believe there is no hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
You have lost your imei...dial *#06# if you get all '0' then flash your original firmware (that is the firmware which came when you bought your phone) and then take it to service!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
He should atleast test it with another sim or reflash it again. Probably mixed up the modem file during flash
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malakwal:
YES DEAR IT HAS NO IMEI NO. BUT HOW I CAN KNOW MY OLD original firmware WHICH I UPDATE IT ALREADY AND FORGET IT.

IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO GET BACK IMEI IN MY PHONE WITHOUT GOING TO SERVICE CENTER.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Have you tried flashing twice? Might help. Your bootloader doesn't seem to be reading your SIM
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] malakwal:
dear many times and many firmwares have been tried but no luck
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Just making sure. CSC in CSC, Modem in Phone and PDA in PDA. That and what SIM do you use anyways?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sameeha:
Dear All,

I've a I9003 movistar and I used Odin 1.8 for flashing. The .pit and .tak (firmware) were successfully executed. But upon restart, the phone stays on samsung gloving letter and not proceeding further. I really need all your help in solving this.

Thanks and regards,
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Did you use the latona file?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sameeha:
Yes I did use latona-20110114.pit the remove the cable and then battery. Again put it in "download mode", the flash with single .tar file!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] otc0101:
even i insert the setting manually yet it still can't work
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sameeha:
Dear All,

I've Galaxy S GT-I9003 (Movistar). I flashed it first with .pit file and then with .tar (PDA) file and have "PASS". But once when it is rebooting I've "SAMSUNG" gloving and the phone is not proceeding further. What I've done wrong? Kindly enlighten me to correct the mistakes I did.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
If you have taken backup of efs then you can but if you haven't them you have to go to service center. They will rewrite the imei number.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
boot into recovery, clear cache them clear data and reboot. Se if this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sameeha:
I solved the problem. I downloaded the I9003ZCKC1 firmware (China - consist 5 files of which 2 are .pit and others are .tar). I selected latona_open_china_20110117_r01.pit and 3 .tar (PDA, CSC, PHONE) and it worked. Mine is fine at last. Its seems that the other .tar (firmwares) are not compatible with my mobile.

Thanks you very much for all of you.

hi, iwant tu upgrade my SGSL, but i get stuck on this step

4. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.

when i press Volume down + OK + Power my phone not entering download mode, it still blank, when i release the button, the phone starting with normal boot :confused:

is the download mode and recovery mode have the same method? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] seizmos:
@neutronz

Maybe HW is locked on your phone, only jig cable is solution for you...

i Have downloaded the file I9003DDKB2.rar and extracted it and got I9003DXKB2-I9003DXKB2-I9003DDKB2_HOME inside of the folder.. How can i flash my i9003 when there is only one file and none of it even states that it is a PDA,PHONE or CSC fileso ..... how to flash ..any one could help me...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Did you use lagfix in your previous firmware prior flashing it to xxkb3?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Use it as PDA file and don't check repartition..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neutronz:
download mode working now after hard reset my phone :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
This has been mentioned many times before, If you hold the power button at the same time with the vol and home, It will not boot, If you want a successful boot without any jig, Hold Vol Down+Home for 2 secs and then hold Power button with it, When you feel the phone vibrates. It will auto boot to Download Mode. Note, Download mode wont work unless the phone backlight is completely off.

@seizmos No.

How to revert back to its original Stock Rom when you purchased it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Part, unless you remember'd what it was, You can't really flash it back :\ Might aswell flash an unrooted firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
When I first bought my galaxy sl its initial firmware is dxkb2.. I think yours will be the same because we're from the same country..:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Your from Abu Dhabi aswell? O.o High 5 on all 3 of us if you are. Guess I'll keep that in mind if i plan to send my phone for repair's back in the UAE'z :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Ohhh..isn't he from the Philippines?

The last time I checked when I used a pc is that I saw his current country is Philippines.. I'm using my phone so I can't really check his country unless I switch to desktop view :)

Edit: ohhhh, current city is different from his home country :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] woozydevotee:
odin detects my phones com number however whenever i try to load the pit file it says FAIL, please advice, i screwed up my phone while trying to swap the memory cards
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Did you check repartition?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xeroczzz:
i got a question...when i download a file to flash my phone back...i found it little bit different..example..the file from XXB3 got 3 file that is CSC file, MODEM file and PDA file...but when i download XKB2 file, it got different file..that is boot file, cache file, modem file, normalboot file, sbl file and system file....what's the different
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Extract only once..don't extract twice..after extracting you'll get one file, put that single file in PDA and don't check repartition..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xeroczzz:
oooo...the file is save in WINRAR format...i just put that file in PDA and don't check repartition...okay...i got it....thank you very much Mr. Ephraim..

at 1st post it should have a guide to flash a phone with that method...i think
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
No problem dude.. i was facing the same problem when I was still learning how to flash and that my stock firmware which I flashd only contained one file :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
:( my i brought my phone in the clinic this morning..

and they said they cant fix it because the board has a problem.. :)

im really happy.. I hope that my phone will be released with galaxy S2 board.. hahahaha.. :) 7 days to 14 days.. i will miss it so much! :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] giangtoxom:

My last FW was ZCKA7, I've up XXKB3 to my phone, it quite good but the battery used does not good as ZCKA7, can you show me where to download ZCKA7 (I had download ZCKA6 but could not up to my phone :confused:?!?!?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Try samfirmware.com
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] egyptoss:
really appreciated alot

i was puzzled about how to it without fears after read those comments about black screens , but if you put photo guide like the link below it will be much helping

another point you need to tell about the ODIN BOOTLOADER CELL to keep empty , that what makes me find another guide finding what is missing . and i didn't know how to set my phone to the download mode through your guide . but i got the missing PIT file successfully from yours.

http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-sl-i9003-to-froyo-xwkb1-2-2-1/

any way i did it successfull by your both guide helping .

finaly deeply appreciated . and now to next point ( how to install arabic on KBXX3 ) , or at least get the keyboard if searching is useless

now i am using XXKB3

can anyone teach me how to flash back to DXKB2?

and who already success flash back to DXKB2?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
If its a single.tar file put it in pda and flash
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MILo0301:
i try a lot of time already

after i flash ..

later i switch on my phone..

just keep stuck on the samsung logo..

how?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Why dont you download dxkf1 from samfirmware and try that..

Note: flash to XXKB3 till you download DXKF1...

I assume you know how to flash XXKB3...after you flash XXKB3 and complete the download of dxkf1 come back and report here

@MILo: have you converted your file system to ext4?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
i have 2 small questions about flashing

1. how likely are you to lose your efs from flashing? not that it's happened to me before, but i've read stories. what about other things like 3g internet and such?

2. according to this guide, you have to flash the pit file separately, remove the battery and then flash the other files. in the guide posted above from androidadvices, it says flash all the files at once

i used the androidadvices guide once and (after two flashes, of course) things worked without a hitch. however, i used these steps twice and on both occasions, i had to remove and reinsert the battery several times before my phone finally got into download mode

as much as i love xda, i would much rather use androidadvices' method since it causes me a lot less panic. anything wrong with it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
nothing wrong with those guides...but it may vary from phone 2 phone...y not this guide

1)those are in latin america..not in middle east.so go ahead
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MILo0301:
sorry

i cannot get what your mean.

my english is very poor seriously><

erm..u try help me can?

now my phone is XXKB3..

so u ask me for flash to DXKF1 is it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MILo0301:
ext4

nope..

i dont know what is tat><
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] PondaRox:
well, that's a relief

anyway, well, i followed this guide and here's what happened (both times):

1. after pit file's done, the phone blacks out

2. i take out the phone's battery, put it in again

3. i tried to go into download mode - nothing

4. try the 3-button combo several times - still nothing

5. after removing and re-inserting several times (not once or twice, four or five times), 3-button combo finally works

6. continue procedure

the first time this happened, i was so traumatized (ok, that's exaggerating) that i swore off flashing (i was trying to go to xxkp7. because i panicked, when i finally got back into download mode, i went back to jpke1) and stayed sworn off flashing until i read the glowing praise of xxkpe and decided to, so to speak, 'come out of retirement'. followed this guide, and ironically enough, i had this very same experience (but didn't panic as much this time, since i had a faint hunch this would happen). with a new gingerbread rom on the horizon (this one with the possibility of being the official, stable release), i decided i'd go with android advices (provided there was nothing wrong with it).

not sure what you meant by 'varies from phone to phone'; i certainly have a galaxy sl i9003. and what about the efs thing?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
as i said...unless u belong to america or japan(i see u r from uae)...u neednt :)worry

To flash otherwise , Use Search.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] :
am new to flashing,do you know any good guide to help me flash to gingerbread?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
U wanna flash to GB o Froyo?

For Froyo follow Tis thread's guide.

For GB search around for Misledz's guide on how to flash and root For GB.

I would suggest u wait and read around for a couple of days and learn and till then use ur phone in its stock form.

Flashing is easy , bt cn b quite risky if u dnt knw wat u doin and since u absolutely new , jus read a lot @xda and soon u'll learn evrythng!

Reflash a firmware.

Ok yr firware is right. Connect to kies see what show at yr last word of the firmware. If show (KOR) than you have to change it back to yr region. For me from malaysia is XME

Aftre changed, kies only regonice yr phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MILo0301:
KB(KOR)

any problem?><
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
What was your CSC before you could flash anything...flash XXKB3 now and see what does your CSC tell in kies...if it says SER its good...now flash DXKF1...Too many flashing but it could fix your problem...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MILo0301:
okay

i will flash later

need back up alot of thgs><
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
@ronhoover

i face this problem before, but bigeyes teach me to change the region using this

dial *#272*(phone imei)# on the dialpad to change the CRC back to ori region, than my problem solved.

me from malaysia i choose XME

can't Milo just do that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MILo0301:

So is your KIES now saying 'Latest Firmware'? Mine still says this version of the device cannot be updated. KIES says (SIN) at the end does that mean Singapore?

yes lateset firmware

u come from sg?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
Yes, I am from Singapore. My Kies still says cant update?? Its already saying (SIN) which is probably my country. Wonder whats the problem.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MILo0301:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
Kies can't because this firmware CSC is SER and it's a single CSC firmware so you can't use the code mentioned before to change CSC to SER. Unfortunately you are stuck to upgrade with Odin until a Multi-CSC firmware with SIN CSC available. But again who uses Kies?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:

Flashing European GB firmware

Hi,

would like to know if i flash the I9003XXKPH_I9003XXKPH_I9003SERKPH firmware from Samfirmware (only 1 tar file), will i face problem with samsung service centre as i have an Arabian version stock rom now.

also, with the 1 tar file, how can i flash the rom? i did not get a pit file from samfirmware. Should i use the pit file from this thread?

Help required.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] galaxysl9003HKuser:
how about this vid?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COliXRtTREA
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
You can use the PIT file from this thread no problem. Warranty will be voided if you root and odin, so basically everything on this forum pretty much voids your warranty. But don't worry you can just flash to a firmware of your region again anytime and then Samsung will not see anything.;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lrcquest:
will the warranty be void if i dont root the device & just upgrade the fw thru odin???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
depends

basically... if you flash to a FW that is used in your region, you won't face any warranty issues

but if you flash to a FW that is not used in your region, you will usually face problems when it comes to warranty
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
That's right. But don't ever tell the service centre staff that you flashed using ODIN, as flashing voids your warranty. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
or that you flashed in general
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lrcquest:
gr8 guys. thanks for the help. will proceed with the flash today!!!

incidentally, i had flashed euro Rom for p-1000 tab with Odin. The process seems to be pretty same.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
yeah the process is pretty much same
