Downloadlink not working for odexed version

Hi, can you plz update the download link. I am unable to download it from the given link for odexed version. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] psalmpsinga:
I need help badly

I have an EVO View, which I loved dearly UNTIL there were no more updates for it. I don't really wanna trash it because as hardware goes, it was a powerhouse. Besides it has great options that i can't find on the machines out there right now. Just having the SD Card slot on a 7 inch seems like something none of the corps wanna give us any longer. I want to learn how to root this device and then, if possible, put iCS on it. I don't know all of the Dev jargon, so go easy because I am babystepping here. If my questions seem stupid, please forgive my ignorance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kennyminot:
Your question isn't dumb.

The HTC View 4G was unfortunately not a very popular device. I'm not sure exactly why - even at this point, not many products have the same combination of features, aside from maybe the 8" Galaxy Note. Just like you, I'm pretty reluctant to shell out another $250+ when the View suits my needs.

But unfortunately the development community has just went dead. There is an unfinished version of Jelly Bean floating around without all the features (I'm not sure if it even has pen support). Basically, you're stuck on Honeycomb.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] joytofender:
The only ICS version that works decently is the CG ROM. The OP says Jelly Bean, but the latest version(2.4) is actually ICS 4.0.4. You can try it, but BT doesn't work with all devices and i currently don't use a pen/stylus. It's my DD.

Links to Official Rom (Thanks to Droidster) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1861359

1) U will need Odin v1.8.5 to flash CWM.

http://www.filedropper.com/odin3-v185_2

http://www.bigupload.com/en/file/29401/odin3-v1.85.zip.html

2) Shut down ur phone completely n make sure it is unplugged from ur PC.

3) Enter download mode by holding down the Volume down and center button and turning on the phone.

4) Press Volume up to continue

5) Run Odin on ur PC and follow these settings

6) Connect your phone to ur PC and Odin will detect ur phone and the COM ID turns yellow.

7) Click on PDA and select the CWM file that u downloaded earlier. (NOTE : File name in picture is different.)

8) Click on Start and let Odin flash your phone. Wait for the Green Light and let ur phone restart.

You have successfully flashed Official Rom to ur SGR !

To enable root, u need to flash a root kernal or install SuperUser.

For root kernal check out ardatdat's custom kernal.

For SuperUser check out http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

Why Check On F. Reset Time ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] s4sixty:
That's on default when i start my Odin.

So i just left it as it is.

U can choose to have it unchecked but more importantly, the rest of the boxes should be left unchecked.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] legion1911:
That setting makes sure the clock is reset.

But you can choose to live in India with Germany or Hong Kong Time on your phone.

It is your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] alister214:
I'm confused. Should "F.Reset Time" be checked or not?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Ie0nard0:
will this way to flash the phone reset all of my data and apps?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] s4sixty:
Think of it as installing a new OS like Windows.

U have to format ur harddrive and install the OS right ?

Same for the phone too.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] cenigma13:
how to install superuser? i have already downloaded zip file from legion's link mentioned in 1st post?

My guess is using CWM. Just want to sure I don't do it wrong :

I want to ask if it would be ok to flash Taiwan rom dircetly even if my original rom is not Taiwan (Mine being Arabic rom)? Will there be any conflicts in Kernel and Baseband things?

I just downloaded the XWLA4 Tar.md5 file, and changed the cache.img with Indian(Mine) tar.md5's Cache.img. Now,when I try to flash it using ODIN, I get an MD5 error..

what about pit file in archive? do we need it? how to use it and what is it`s purpose?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
If u r doing a normal flashing like changing firmware, flashing cwm, flashing csc THAN NEVER PUT PIT FILE IN PIT TAB AND NEVER CHECK RE PARTITION BOX.

Pit file is used to re partition the system drive and if u dnt knw what u r doing better stay away from it. U can brick ur phone.

New Stock ROM?

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=5927

This here is something new on the sammobile site related to Galaxy R.

Never knew spain had a XWKI5 firmware:eek: XWKI5 is the Indian Stock ROM...isn't it?:p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
There is no surprise in Spain getting XWKI5. It is released for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom. Surprise is Indian firmware being released as XWKI5. Anyhow its not a big deal. Its in CSC where the locale information is present. For Indian XWKI5, its I9103ODDKH4 where as for Spain its I9103YOGKH2.

One more info for the Firmware name. For e.g., in XWKI5, XW denotes the country code where it is for the above mentioned countries. K is the code for 2011. All the firmwares released in 2011 will be K as 3rd letter. For 2012, its L. The Fourth byte I denotes the month. I is the 9th letter which means September. And the final byte '5' indicates the version. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Wowo...thats very informative! Thnx for sharing!:good: But if XW is country code then how come different countries share the same code?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
XW is the country code that was meant for all the countries i mentioned (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom) i.e., European countries. Its really strange they released Indian firmware in the same name. :eek: Anyhow, not an issue as its a PDA (baseband). CSC is what really matters for country related specific info. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
This is such a shame. That means Samsung India are the dumbest of all. I have been thinking XWKI5 has been built by Samsung India. Now I realize why Samsung India hasn't released an update. How can they copy from the same country twice?:p:laugh::eek:

LOL I just can't believe it:eek: Samsung executives copy pasting the same replies on all twitter/FB posts is understandable:p. But copying an entire ROM from other countries is just beyond imagination:mad:. Now I can confirm that India will be the last to receive the ICS update:p:D.

Way to go Samsung India:good::p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Its not mandatory that fw for india is made by indian devs. It could be developed by any team of samsungs developers.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Having said that:good:, given an option to develop or copy I'm sure Samsung India will always choose the latter as is evident from its release history :p

I mean how contradictory is it! India has the most no. of R users and we don't have an original Indian ROM. That says it all about Samsung India's update policy towards the R :p

It is actually funny how lazy, blind and indifferent these guyz have been! If you observe the country codes as pointed out by selva.simple, XW is for European countries. Like wise ZS is for mostly Asian countries, Right? LOL they could have at least released the ROM with a proper country code so as to at least make it look like an original work :p This is juzz ridiculous. I don't understand whether we should be laughing at them for their stupidity or be mad at them for their indifference and laziness.:D:mad:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Epsylon3:
just to inform you, ive successfully restored (with a big fear) the bootloader after a (bad) flash test of the Glide 927 ics leak ;) using ODIN3 v1.82 and GT-I9103_Dead_Repair_By_Xiaoyuz\bootloader.bin

but the procedure to enter the download mode is a bit.... a lottery (a usb jig dongle helps for that)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
TBF, i really dont know what is that, but i know that you are testing ICS onn SGR,

thanks a ton man !!

thanks thanks thanks :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
He meant that he flashed glide rom on sgr :D and bricked it.

Buta he managed to unbrick it using method about I have created tutorial (tegra2 devices are very easy to unbrick, it doesn't needs any special hardware like jtag box)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] chandrus1983:
ohh okay and Yes, i know, i have read that tutorial !!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
That means that Samsung India uses its own modem.bin/baseband package(DDKH4) but has used an European ROM(XWKI5). Right?

If Samsung India had developed its own ROM, the build number would be some thing like this: GINGERBREAD.DD___ Is that right?

I just want to get the basic concepts clear, that why I'm asking!

Also what would happen if I flash some other modem.bin? Like for eg the one from honkong/china...Definitely this would change my baseband no. to something like I9103ZS___, but would that affect my cellular connection since modem.bin is radio related? I mean is it country specific?

I may seem very confused:confused: But I really want to get this stuff clear:p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Before answering ur questions, wil tel u some basic things abt these. A Build has three parts - PDA, Phone and CSC

PDA - ROM Version or name

Phone - Baseband or Modem version

CSC - Consumer Software Customization. Mainly for region related packs.

The Modem.bin file is not necessary at all instances. It will have the country related baseband or radio processor (known as BP - Baseband processor). Some ROMs will have telecommunication related information that will be present in modem.bin. Like Hutchinson 3 in XWLA4 Austrian ROM. Only for such ROMs to use in that country, modem.bin is needed. Not for country like India. One Important news for u. Both Neo ROM and MaZel ROM don't have modem.bin file ;) We removed it.

Any ROM would be named or referred with its PDA name. So for ur first question, Yes, If samsung india developed their own firmware for India, it would have been named as DD***. Flashing other country's modem.bin will change ur baseband (modem or Phone) and will not affect ur cellular connection. I will tel u a scenario when it will affect. Consider u r in Austria with XWLA4 firmware, its baseband - NELA1 and using Hutchinson Network. In such state, if u flash some other country's modem, then ur network will be affected as u cant use Hutchsinson any longer.

Hope i cleared ur doubts. Sorry that post got lil big. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Awesome stuff! Thank you!:good:

Well if you removed modem.bin from your rom that means the phone continues using whatever BP it was using prior to flashing the ROM? Right?

Now let me tell you why I asked these noob:o questions.

The other day when I was looking at Epsylon's CM build I noticed that though he has used the latest Google GB 2.3.7 sources for the PDA(ROM)

he has used modem.bin/Baseband from zsle6. Originally I thought that the entire CM was based on zsle6. But that would have definitely beat the purpose of zsle6 since CM ROM's are always compiled from source. So when I asked it there, one of the forum members said that it was only the modem.bin part that was zsle6 while the ROM was still being compiled from source.

OK One Last Stupid Question: Is it possible to develop or modify modem.bin? I mean does Google release sources for that as well or OEM's develop their own modem.bin?

Sorry I'm really troubling you:o:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
You are partially right. We have removed modem.bin from our Custom ROM. But we ask everyone to flash XWLA4 before flashing our cutsom ROM. So the BP of XWLA4 will be used in our Custom ROMs where the modem.bin file which has country related telecommunication information alone will be not used. Even in our custom ROMs, the baseband will be I9103NELA1 (check it from Setings > About Phone or dial *#1234#) which is the BP of XWLA4. But only thing is that modem.bin will not be used. So the Hutchinson network related info will not be present in our phone.

There is nothing called Noob questions buddy. Everyone learns in the process. Nothing wrong in asking so many questions :cowboy:

And for modifying or developing modem.bin, its not possible (to my knowledge) buddy. Because it comes with a locked bootloader and a tough nut to crack. But we can communicate with modem.bin with some AT commands. :cool:

HELP!!

I tried to upgrade my firmware using Samsung Kies but it got stuck.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to recover it using Kies.

So, I decided to download a Stock GB ROM here.

Specifically this one:

Then I downloaded Odin v1.8.5 here.

From the mediafire link:

I extracted the GB Firmware I downloaded above, then selected the *.TAR.MD5 file in Odin.

I pressed start, and here's the log:

But it has been 30 minutes and it is not moving!!!

Can someone help me please?

THANKS!!

EDIT:

Also, just curious in the steps, why is the ROM not flashed via CWM?

I have a Galaxy W and what I did was to flash the ROM via CWM.

But it was a Custom ROM though (CM9).

Are all stock ROMs flashed via Odin and not CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Is a blue kind of line is coming & moving in your phone..??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jon1011:
Yes there is a small blue line, but didn't move ever since. :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Removing Wires may b bricked your phone .I think MJ Vikram can suggest you. Coz if nothing happened then you need to boot it again.

Have you tried Odin V 3.07 also.??:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jon1011:
Nope, I only used Odin v1.8.5 as stated in the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
why cont you download the Stock ROM again, and try to flash it with Odin V3......
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Glad You are here MJ. Please guide I flashed several things but never faced this issue. Once faced but restarted the phone & flashed again. But that was my phone. User may brick his phone.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
If it's bricked he can not start it at all....

jon1011 can you please give some more details....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] parmarket:
his signature says he has Galaxy W also on his first post he has mentioned about Galaxy W, may be he is in wrong area.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
WTH..:eek: man its seriously p***ing me off.:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jon1011:
Okay...

I will try to reflash the stock rom again using Odin v3.

For the benefit of the doubt, I am not in a wrong section.

Can I not have a Galaxy W and a Galaxy R at the same time?

For the details on my Galaxy R, it got stuck on flashing the stock rom. Probably soft bricked, not yet hard bricked as I can still go in recovery mode.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Its ok buddy. Just imagined.:p just flash it then do reply..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jon1011:
@kataria & mj.vikram

I downloaded Odin v3 from the Galaxy S2 thread.

Used it in flashing the Stock GB ROM, and my phone is now alive!!!

Thanks for suggesting the Odin v3.

Now, what I want to do is to flash the Stock ICS.

Following the steps,

I'm good with step 1, flashing the Stock GingerBread ROM.

For step 2, I can't go into recovery mode, how could I wipe data or factory reset?

And isn't it necessary to wipe cache and dalvik cache before going to step 3 where I would flash the Stock ICS ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Hey buddy nice to hear that your problem is solved....

Flash CWM through ODIN and boot into recovery, Yes you need to wipe all 3 Data, Cache & Dalvik before flashing ICS once you install the ICS don't forget to flash Ardatdat's kernel because Stock Kernel have Brick Bug......

Ardatdat's v 4.0 is pure stock kernel with Brick Bug off...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jon1011:
Is that really necessary?

Because on the guide it says we could choose either one of these:

And I'm opting for the 1st one because I saw that ardatdat's kernel is OC'd.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Seems, you did it buddy. Just follow the process given by MJ. But Caution, dont wipe anything after flashing ICS. Flash Ardatdat's kernel first then take next step in ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jon1011:
It's also not indicated in the guide that we need to have CWM installed.

If it's necessary, I think the post should be updated as it would be very helpful especially to newbies like me.

Would I need to have my phone rooted?

I am avoiding to root it as much as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
If you just want to run the Stock ICS then CWM is not required, but if you want to flash any thing else you need it.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] jon1011:
Yes I just want to run the Stock ICS.

Going back, are below steps correct?

1. Flash Stock GingerBread. - complete

2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset (I did it through Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset) - done

3. Flash Stock ICS ROM. - pending

Please confirm if I could now proceed in Step 3.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
yes buddy correct use ODIN V3......
