Looks good but I'm stumped right at the beginning of the guide

Sorry if this a dumb question but where do I find Krazzy's stock firmware? I'll keep digging anyhow.

Thanks for your help so far nicsptl :)

Yes it was a dumb question to ask. I already had visited kkrraazzyy's link and even included the link in my first post in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004647&highlight=stock+firmware :silly:

I'll keep you posted on success...

YEE-HAA :cowboy: My phone is back up and with GingerBread. Thank you.

I still have a few more questions.

1) I have not fully completed the instructions yet. The final instruction says to do a factory reset. How do I do this and why is it necessary since the OS is back up and running already?

2) Is it possible to change the language from French to English.? It's true that I live in France but I much prefer to have my phone in my native tongue. I can't see to the option to do this in the settings.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crazbanditz:
There are several ways to do a factory reset, it is not mandatory but recommended. You can do this by booting into recovery(volume up+Home key then power).

2. Just change it under language and inputs. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Deakus:
Hey crazbanditz, I just cracked it before seeing your message and realised that for third time in less than 24 hours that I was being a dumb ass once more.

I've clicked the Thanks button for you for at least taking your time to answer my questions. Your reply about the importance of performing a factory reset is handy to know anyway - so not a total loss ;)

Download and flash I9003XXKPE using Odin. Guide is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133787 look for the XXKPE section.

When done, download and flash I9003DDLF2 using Odin.

When done, reboot in recovery mode (shutdown phone, then vol up+home+on) and do a factory reset.

This should get you an up to date stock phone.

Hello,

I have a big problem with my Galaxy SL i9003. I've followed manual to install 4.0.1 Jelly Bean. Alpha version didnt worked so i installed alpha 3 and there it started. Next step was to uninstall some data but there wasnt anything like that, so I continued to install gapps. I installed gapps and i rebooted device. But it wont load up. I found this manual how to load download mode but I don't lnow what to do next. Can someone help me please? :( :( :( :(

CM10 alpha4 is recommended.u can do as follows.

Download the CM10 alpha4 zip http://a3mania.com/cyanogenmod/ and copy it to sdcard

Wipe data/factory reset

Flash CM10 A4 twice

Flash gapps

Reboot
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arnoldsvk:
I know the Alpha 4 is newest, but Alpha 4 doesnt works for me. It shows that verification cant be done becouse file is not authorised or something similiar. Now i got broken also the original os 2.3.6 Gingerbread. I tryed to flash original os via Odin, becouse also recovery mode isnt working, i solved it bit aswell. Os is still broken, but recovery mode works good now. When i try to insert SD card with os, it wont show it, it shows just internal memory. I tryed several SD cards (27 :eek: ) and same problem with every. Now i want to flash an original os, but i don't know how, that's my question :confused:

so i downloaded the stock ROM (DDLF2). I dint read much instructions since i was used to odin (flashoholic :cowboy:) i used odin 1.82 and flashed the single tar file via pda. (I dint read about the pit file :crying:)

Now, the phone bootloops. I tried flashing the pit file and then DDLF2, yet i have the same issue.

Now, I get this error in recovery " E:failed to mount /data (no such file or directory) ". I assume my partition is screwed up, i searched and tried this fix http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37452509&postcount=1 but CWM recovery is not reading files on my sd card :/

http://www.careace.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/bricked-galaxy-s.png

But many thanks to this Thread and Adi_Pat of course, that i recovered my phone back otherwise i would have to go to a service centre and of course lose quite some money, which nobody wants to do. LOL.

So for guys who are facing problems with the phones which are bricked or facing problems to flash and don't have the four or five flashing files, i will give you the links to them.

To flash Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9003 :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004622

you will have now latona.pit file and odin and there is a way how to flash but you can't see the other 3 or 4 files..like MODEM, CSC and PDA files, you can go to the below thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12310841#post12310841

and download a stock rom of your choice but i like XXKPE ROM, which is Number 3 in the gingerbread heading.

Just follow these steps and everything will be fine. INSHALLAH

Or you can watch this video as it is to revert back to stock ROM but it is almost the same as flashing ROM :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2crS2rZgUQc

I hope i am not wrong by commenting on this thread this way because i don't know any other way and i was facing the same problems which i read on this thread. As i didnt had the latona.pit file and didnt knew where Modem, csc and pda files are.

Anyways !

Hi

Maybe you can help me.

I got a GT-I9003 on a boot loop, I can go into recovery and download mode, and already flashed a stock rom with odin. But it is still in a boot loop.

Can you help me?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mehyderabadi:
reply to JC

I too had a boot loop problem. And it was because i wasn't flashing my fone with the right files. And also wasn't selecting all the files.

If u have the latona.pit file then select it in Odin (put a check mark on Re-partition in Odin, but as soon as u select the latona.pit file, if it is the check mark is selected automatically then leave it as it is) and put your fone in downloading mode, connect it to the computer and make sure it is detected on Odin and flash it with Odin. When it is done (only takes 5-10 seconds), disconnnect it from computer, remove the battery, put the battery back, put the fone in downloading mode again and reset the odin and select these files, MODEM, CSC, PDA and BOOTLOADER. Connect the fone to computer and see if it detected on Odin and click start. It will flash these files and when it is done, with the Green Pass icon will appear on Odin. It will reboot automatically and there u have your fone back.

If it is hard to understand...just follow this video on youtube by Sharyl, about how to Reverting back to stock rom. it is almost the same, with the boot loop problem.

This guy, in the video, always flashes his Gt-I9003 with XXKPE Stock Rom and i too do the same.

just type ""How to revert back to stock Gingerbread from any custom ROM on Android (I9003)"" on youtube and the first video you see, is the video I am talking about, by SharylProductions.

Thanks to Sharyl for the video

As i am a new User on XDA, i am not able to send the links which are outside XDA Site.

I hope u get back your fone without the boot loop prob, INSHALLAH.

I hope that answers your question

Phone USB is not recognized by Odin, GT I 9003, almost dead phone

Hey guys.

It's my first posting on this forum. Need your help. The device is GT I 9003. The phone was rooted and loaded with CM10.2. Had bit tough time with battery and phone was bit sluggish. Tried something which probably not do. In order to make a clean phone as far as memory is concerned formatted the phone. ( formatted everything whatever CWM permits) and allowing to reboot in recovery mode with the assumption that once. it reboots in recovery mode , will install the firmware afresh. That step probably was the biggest error from my side.

Now the phone is not booting. I get the initial samsung logo screen and stops there. It does not go the recovery screen. ( tried the original 3 key method and all possible tricks available in internet.) Though the phone goes to the download screen, PC does not recognize the phone. So with OdIn I can not transfer any file as the com port is not recognized .

The third option as suggested here hard reset. There do exist a small app rapture like to insert a pin. But actually there is no pin hole there. So guess no point of pinning . Opened the entire back cover to find anything which could be pressed for the so called hard reset. Simply there does not exist any electronic part which could be pressed.

with all this can I recover my phone or it's gone forever. If Odin recognizes my phone thro the USB connection then probably there is a hope. Would appreciate your valuable guidance / suggestion. Sorry for the long note but was trying to convey everything so that you don't require any-further in put before coming with your suggestion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drno79:
Gents,

I have come accross the weirdest issue I have found on a phone. I have recently acquired an AT&T SGS II and I am using it in Argentina (rooted and unlocked) with Movistar (this is just FYI).

I am having a problem that is driving me nuts...there are times when I lose the ability to navigate the internet. Meaning I have internet connectivity, and can use other internet enabled apps (Market, Speedtest, Maps) but can't get any browser to respond (stock, Dolphin, Opera). This happens only on 3G data, wi-fi works well always.

I have narrowed the problem to the GPS. Whenever I use the GPS with Maps or GPS status, or anything that turns on the GPS, I can't use browsers anymore. I have to either restart or disable and re-enable packet data, this solves the problem until I use the GPS again...

I am running stock UCKH7 with the UCKH7 modem...the only thing I have done is rooted, unlocked the phone and added CWM..

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Sounds similar to the CM7 market data issues on the Infuse.

Does Movistar use a different APN for SUPL?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drno79:
No, not really. I used to own a Captivate and hadn't seen the option to select a specific SUPL APN.

I have just tried using two different APNs (internet and SUPL) but that didn't work either...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rangercaptain:
Is there a better modem for your carrier/region?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drno79:
I have tried KJ1, KJ2, KJ4, KH7 and KK6.

All present the same problem...

What is strange is that this happens only to internet browsing, all other internet enabled apps work without issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
If your provider only uses a single APN, I don't know what is happening.

Dual APNs should be avoided unless you can't - mainly if your provider requires them. (like AT&T - one for most Internet stuff and one for SUPL and MMS)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drno79:
Movistar uses two APNs, one for internet and the other for MMS. I don't think there is one for SUPL. I will double check.

Perhaps this will be solved in my next ROM update....who knows!
[XPERIA X8 General] feb289:
Hey guys! Merry Christmas!

Its been a full year since me and my partner here met you guys! Xperia X8 is my first android phone, At first i was contented with everything, then i wanted more. I became greedy, I sought knowledge that was never meant to be. I was defying the will of Sony Ericsson. I rooted my X8, installed my first recovery then flashed a new rom. It felt like heaven, having a better android version and theming it all i want. But not all stories go on great. I experienced bricking my phone, i panicked. I didnt know what to do, my warranty was void, then i thought "Maybe XDA Devs can help me". And it was true, i posted in the forums and got a fast reply. I was astonished by how the members here are helping each other. I got my phone working again. I am at loss for the things happening in this forum. Almost every week there come a new rom or update. I was happy, for every addition to the X8 roms here. But lately i dont feel like its the same anymore. I feel like that X8 has reached its peak, maybe its time for me to move on.

So i was thinking which phone would you prefer buying after you Xperienced android with Xperia X8.

Ive got to options. Xperia Neo V or Xperia Mini Pro

which would you prefer.

Please feel free to give your opinion.

I am very thankful for the people here, devs or not. Thank you all farewell. I will never forget this lively forum!

But the review indicate that SII is better, however I will go for Galaxy Nexus as it is far more likely to get more android updates when compared to Galaxy SII.
