[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bob_kira:
thanks mizledz.. i never root my phone, i also dont know how to do that actually, but JPKPE is a clean firmware right? and it is official?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] longfeng:
call your service provider and check which version are they having. drop by the shop and ask if you must.

after confirming the version, flash stock rom (unroot) via download mode. wipe caches and factory reset. the same problem will come back but it does not matter. bring it to the service centre and ask them to repair it.

if you need to check for unroot, see my signature for the guide link. remember, if you flash a root version, warranty is void. so you must unroot before sending to service centre.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bob_kira:
thanks! im sure i did not root my phone.. i dont use any other application aside from odin.. i already go to a market but i was dissapointed to see that the version of samsung galaxy sl is still in froyo.. 2.2.1 JXKA4 if im correct.. JPKPE is an official version.. so after i flash it.. ill go to service center.. hopefully they'll fix this ASAP.. thank you very much!

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

ooopppss... i forgot to ask... i already download the JPKPE zip file in kkrazzy's thread.. i only see one file after the zip.. should i go back first to xxkpe? or i can flash it directly from xxkpm... the file name is..

I9003JPKPE_I9003OJPKPC_I9003JXKP3_HOME.tar.md5

i guess i have to flash this as PDA.. right??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] earldroid:
Yes kabayan. You can flash xxkpe first before going jpkpe as pda via odin just to be sure. Ive tried that already. Ive also tried xxkph to jpkpe no problems as well. But xxkpm to jpkpe, im not so sure.

By the way. Flashing to xxkpe unroots your phone automatically. Flashing to jpkpe wont root your phone.

(Galaxy Sl in service center for a week now) :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bob_kira:
is that so? so flashing it to xxkpe automatically root my phone, so i have to flash it to jpkpe.. now im on jpkpe..is it already ok ? or should i do anything else? before going to the service center?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sirilpta:
Download "root checker basic" from market and install. Open the app and check for whether rooted or not...

send from gt-i9003 using android keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] earldroid:
No kabayan. You misunderstood me. Flashing to xxkpe wont root your phone. Flashing using pit and the 4 other files revokes any rooting done to your phone. Now you are on jpkpe. You can take it to the service center.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You don't need to root your phone, The firmware flashing should be a first step, Follow the guide to get the

Firmware

done, After which the easiest way to get rooted is by using CWM [Clockwork Mod] it's a flashable PDA file that has root included and several more options.

@misledz

For the static ip tip, can you guide me how to use it as there's no advanced tab in the app.

I'm sick of my wifi drop issues.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Sure man, Just get Static IP from Static Wifi Market

Enable - Auto switch

-Add Configuration

-Press Menu, Press Generate

-Done

Enjoy :)

If you did it right, When you connect to your Wifi it shows your Wifi IP and Router name in a small popup window.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
Thanks,

I can generate only when I'm connected to my wifi.

I did the same and got the same ip everytime but still the drop issues remain.

driving me crazy
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] earldroid:

What u mean by "cannot boot"? Please specify :)

Press Thanks if I helped :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Normally it won't if you did a dirty flash (flashing it from one rom to another) just flash CFROOT or something and it will boot ;D. Sorry for the late reply. Been busy monitoring 8 phones at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] benryu:
My phone was on DDKP3 and flashed a custom rom. Now if i want to change to a different rom i need to flash stock and then go. So which one of these was mine originally ie DDKP3
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] drsoran2:
Hi, I had stock firmware i9003XXKPN on my Galaxy SL i9003 phone. Yesterday I flashed it to CM9 Alpha 11. It is okay but I want to go back to stock which I had before.

The problem is, that in of the guides to go back it says I first need to flash the predecessor to XXKPN which is XXKPH. I've downloaded both zip files. Now, in the guide it says you should put several files into odin and then flash. But I only have one file in the zip after extracting?! It's a *.tar file.

What to do now? In some other guide I believe it said you need to put only one file into PDA in Odin and then flash.

I'm seriously confused now and don't know what to do. (Flashing to CM9 was way easier than going back!).

I made a backup of stock firmware before upgrading to CM9 (with stock recovery I believe). Could I use this to restore to stock?

Or can I flash a stock firmware zip file from within CWM Recovery by utilising "install zip from sdcard"?!

I would very much appreciate if somebody could point me to a working way in order to flash back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] varunthapliyal999:
First download xxkpe.It has the several files you are talking about.Flash xxkpe then flash Xxkpn
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
@misledz perhaps you could update the guide for the value packs and other firmwares? Such as kpu and ddlf2.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeah I should do that,except most of the flashing procedures are the same. If anyone can be kind enough to update me on the value packs and what files they contain I will finish this guide by tonight. As much as I wanna download all of them, I don't have the bandwidth to do so.

PS: The important Stock ROM's that are religiously used, this includes, MiddleEast/Russian/Indian.

The rest of the other countries follow the same procedure
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
I don't know the exact name, but all of them contain 1 file only to be flashed via odin in the pda slot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Updated the guide properly this time. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] benryu:
So now if i am on RemICS can i directly flash DDLF2 or DDKPE then LF2?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Xxkpe then ddlf2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Normally you don't need KPE you can flash it directly and it works the same way
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] benryu:
What do you mean by that? Can you elaborate a bit coz all the threads i see they say KPE->LLF2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
That's to be safe. Normally I don't do that, I just jump from gb rom to gb rom.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] benryu:
Oh then can i jump from GB rom to non GB rom also directly?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
Of course! :)

Press Thanks if I helped :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Not if you're downgrading(I believe)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] benryu:
Oh so since I'm on ics and if I wanna move to ginger bread I've to flash xxkpe->xxkpq->ddlf2?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Yes I think. I haven't flashed in such a long time sadly:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Don't think you need to do that order. Just flash the firmware directly then do a factory reset is good enough.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronak_143:
I am in XXLE4 and want to go back to my stock DDLF2 rom. What is the procedure for it? I get a bootlop while installing directly :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
XXKPE(with pit) --> DDLF2 :)

Press Thanks if I helped :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Just a suggestion. But the title of the thread should be modified so that newbies can know that this thread contains Full steps to go on a particular firmware.. Eg. [GUIDE] STEPS TO FLASH ANY GB FIRMWARE [NOOB FRIENDLY]

As i said it's just a suggestion. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sizzlingtycoon:
Dude...

Awesome tutorial... Really appreciate the hard-work...

But... lastly i have something to guide me on...

Currently am using the "Remics-UX Rom" on my Galaxy SLi9003...

Now want to revert to the stock-rom... Downloaded the firmware DDLF2 from the samfire link... Later extracted it to get 1 file

(I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5)

Now... I actually need to know where to select the above file in Odin3_v3.04 downloaded from the link you provided...

Also... When i open Odin the "Auto Reboot" & "F.Reset" are checked later when i tried to open the .tar file in the PIT menu they are checked and the other options stay the same like before i.e; unchecked...

Would really be greatful if you can guide me thru this with some screenshots if possible...

Would like to let you know that am no new to flashing the firmwares with Odin but the name "HOME" in the tar file i got and the "PIT" you named is confusing me to step forward...

Thanks in advance...!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You need not play with the options. Odin will automatically pick what's best for you in the latest versions. All you need to do is place the firmware(tar) file in the pda section and flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sizzlingtycoon:
Thanks dude...

+1'd... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sizzlingtycoon:
Plz help...

Lately i happened to flash the Stock Rom DDLF2 downoaded from the sammobile site provided... Now i noticed that the stock clock widget, music widget and the weather widgets are missing... Do i have to re-flash to get 'em or is it packed that way... Would be grateful if you can let me know...

thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Probably packed that way, if you did a titanium backup before flashing then you can always restore it via that method. Or have it installed separately by pushing it to system/app
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sizzlingtycoon:
Thanks for the quick reply... was wondering if you suggest me with a link to have those mentioned widgets-- stock samsung clock and music etc...

Thanks in advance again...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Here you go, just push these into system/app and don't forget about permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] twicenoni:
Pls the XXKPE file camera is not working pls help fix it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ditbardh:
got one question, i flashed xxkpe and than in the first boot didnt set up anything just turned it off and bringed it to download mode and flashed ddlf2 and than did a factory reset Settings/Privacy and Factory Data Reset, is this ok ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeah, as long as it boots up without the need of cfroot or anything, that's good enough. Make sure you check csc and everything is the same *#1234*

downgrading to gb

Hi I m currently running JellyBam alpha 4 (4.1.1. v2 kernel) and I m thinking about come back to gingerbread, i've read threats about and think that I got it but I just wanna make sure that I'm doing correctly.

So, if I am on JellyBam alpha 4 and want to downgrade to gingerbread:

1.- Download i9003xxxkpe, i9003xxxkpq, i9003ddlf2 (.tar rar file), cfroot ddlf2 and odin 1.85.

2.- turn of the phone, starts odin and conect the usb to the phone.

3.- turn on the phone on download mode (vol down + power)

4.- select the pit, pda, phone, bootloader and csc file from i9003xxkpe.rar file).

5.- Click start button, and wait untill pass message shows.

6.- Boot, leave it at homescreen five minutes and turn off again

7.- Starts odin, connect the usb to the phone and then turn on the phone into download mode again (vol down + power)

8.- check reset button on odin and select I9003XXKPQ_I9003XXKPQ_I9003SERKPQ_HOME.tar.md5 as PDA

9.- click start button and after pass message restart the phone.

10. that's it

I`m questioning about this procedure, is this or is in any other way?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Make sure you check repartition option in odin while you flash xxkpe. You dont need xxkpq if you are planing ddlf2. Just wondering why you want to come back is jellybam buggy.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kralin:
I dont know if I will come back to gingerbread or not. JellyBam 4.1.1 is great for a normal use of the phone, smooth, stable and a very acceptable battery use, but still got some bugs and maybe I install other rom (probably CM9) waiting for dhiru, adi and all that great guys developed kernel 3.0.8

Thanks for the info, so I dont need kpq? I wanna install it cause was the bandbase that I ve got when I root my sl i9003 and was great
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Baseband and all are included already in the flash able pda

Errors everywhere

My phone is going crazy !

In the beginning I was on JPKP5 with CF-Root and ext4 and everything is great for a long time. Suddenly many apps started forceclosing. I did a factory reset and everything force closes. Google Apps, Stock apps, Go launcher and the stock launcher, etc... I had a nandroid backup (I don't remeber when did I make it) but I used it and still everything force closes except the launchers are working. Had problems with the pc detecting the phone (even Odin) and read that it has to do with the usb port. Changed the port and the pc successfully detected it. However when it came back from the shop the back speaker wasn't working (will check that latter). I tried flashing XXKPE but it tells me Can't moun dbdata. Flashed the JPKP5, stuck at Samsung logo, CF-Root, still stuck, nandroid, phone starts up but everything is still force closing. Repeated flashing XXKPE and the XXKPQ but boot loops and when I flash its CF-Root just shows a dark blue screen (nothing at all). Repeat and flash CM10 Alpha 4, CM recovery says Can't load /cache/ log and lots of other stuff.Tried factory reset and cache wipe but gave lots of errors too (stuff to do with the cache). Also when I go to mounts I couldn't find "format dbdata". Now I try to flash XXKPE and it says E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3... and also "Data wipe failed"

What is going on with my phone :D?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] compacity:
becoz before its bootloops, i remember da version in setting was kp9, i m afraid if changing made my imei or anything related to it lost, but if u say so, then what firmware version should i flash sir?

n really thank you for answering, i was about to throw this device to pool after 20+ times flashing with odin, it says pass but i got kernel panic. so, in ur opinion, what firmware i should use?

btw, i m from MALAYSIA (Asia) if thats helping n thanks again sir
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bergerkos:
Hi,

I've tried to search this thread and don't seem to have found any references...

Now in this thread it says "you can choose any 2.3.6 firmware" for my Samsung I9003 device.

So I chose XXLE4 among the many offered at sammobile.com (because it says "Russia", and I just happen to be in Russia, otherwise makes no difference to me).

But now after having read here and there I'm in doubt: should it be flashed to my 2.2.1 phone directly following procedures herein mentioned, or do I need any preliminary ROMs to flash before it?

My goal is (1) upgrade to 2.3.6, then (2) to ROOT it, then (3) upgrade to KitKat or later versions of Android.

Because with version 2.2.1 I can't find the apps I'm using on my tablet (4.4 KitKat). I believe it is the Android version to blame for it.

Will be very thankful for any help on this matter. Or maybe my understanding of the matters is entirely incorrect -- in such case will be thankful for correction.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bergerkos:
Hi, I've downloaded DDMF1, so my question is still the same I asked above about some other version: is it OK just to flash it onto my I9003 with 2.2.1 on it without any preliminary upgrades? Well, just like it says elsewhere: "version XX** works only from version XX** etc..."
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] danzig_08:

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT flash a DEV ROM unless you know what you're doing.

In your case, I'd suggest a full-wipe (wipe every damn thing) in recovery and then reflash. And it almost hurts now saying this over and over again, please follow flash instructions to the word.
