Help !!

I downloaded DXLA2 Stock ROM from samsdroid. Ancora.ops and Odin 4.43 from location specified by THE-E.

But I am stuck at " amss.mbn download" for about 90min.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] avishekt:
Something is wrong !!!

Well, situation improved.... But not completely....

Now process completes and Odin shows PASS (pls see attachment).....

But the phone just does not start automatically, even after I waited for 15min after PASS.

What's the problem?

Dxla2 gt-i8150ewaxse

Hi, Can someone tell me where i could find indonesian firmware with this version?

Product Code : GT-I8150EWAXSE

PDA Version : I8150DXLA2

Phone Version : I8150DXKL1

CSC : I8150LBKL1

it's better if it's the multipart version.

and could someone teach me how to back up my original rom (or create a firmware file to be used with ODIN) ?

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Hi there, I'm having the same problem finding the stock rom for Malaysia region I8150DXLA2

I8150OLBKL1

I8150DXKL1

in separate file , the file I've download from sammobile is a all in one file.

Any help will be highly appreciate ..

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
It is a zip file, isn't it? Have you extracted it?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Yes bro.. is a zip file, after extract it only shown 1 file , I've try to flash this file via ODIN but it stuck at the bootanimation screem over and over again..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
When you extract it, it is a tar file, right? :) Use Odin Multidownloader, Ancora.ops is required btw. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Thanks Bro.. but already tried ... like i said earlier , it stuck on the boot up screen, now I've flash my divice with other asian stock rom given by The-E (with seperated files), but I still need the Malaysia region files for warranty purpose ..:p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Did you do the marking and unmarking of the boxes? Did you wait for Odin to complete the process till the time is 0.00?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
:)

Yes bro.... i follow all the instruction given.... But i only try once...

Or maybe i should try to flash it again and see how...

thanks again bro :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Perhaps, try again flashing the firmware. Sometimes it does works! I fear the file corrupted so another suggestion is to re-download it! :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
yup, already re-download another copy, will try to flash it again tonight , will report after that :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:

i forgot to tell that i live in Philippines as Fus checked Latest firmware is I8150DXLC1/I8150OLBLA1/I8150DXLC1/I8150DXLC1

currently downloading the FW.. so after i finish Dloading i can now flash it to ODIN right? just checkin before doing anything.. so many questions in my head:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Loodroid:
Nice guide! Everything worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
Yes, all the files are from this thread and yes, i'm running it as administrator..

on my phone i use stock rom xxla2 (xeu) only rooted, and on my pc win xp sp3..I do this:

phone in download mode, volume up, and connected to pc

it's recognized by pc

open odin 4.43

select ancora.ops

enable one package and disable reset time

then i select in one package the last firmware (xxlm6 (xsk), value pack from dev section), in message it say "check md5 filename..." and then odin crash and close...this happen also with firmware xxkk1 (xeu) from this thread, and with firmware xxla2 (xeu) from dev section. If i try to select the stock recovery from this thread or the last cwm5.5.0.4, in message i have "check md5 filename...", all other rows till "check md5...ok" and all works...

now i'm trying to redownload odin 4.43,ancora.ops and firmware...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
You are welcome Man!!!

I would advise follow THE-E guide to flashing with ODIN 4.43, also make sure you got Ancora.ops file!!!

Also, and I think this is important to say, when you run ODIN on your PC, just make sure that it recognises your phone.....I would disconnect and then re-connect my USB cable.....just to be sure ODIN recognises your phone:

Also, ensure that USB Debugging is checked.....

Settings/Applications/Development/USB Debugging

This is the opposite to what is required by Samsung Kies......

Also, please note the Notification in that post, it gives elaborate instructions which can be carried out to achieve perfect flash!!

As THE-E says:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
With redownloaded files (odin,ancora and firmwares, xxla2 deu and xxlm6 coa) I still have the problem...odin crash! :(

What can I do? Maybe use a newer or older version of odin?

Is there a version of odin for linux? I see Heimdall for galaxy s, it works for us too?

I have tried other firmwares, also older odin (4.42 and 4.38) but i ever have this problem...maybe the problem is my notebook...it's frustrating :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
Obviously changing the computer would probably narrow down the cause of the error, but this option needs to be also available.

What you can do besides changing the computer is, to reinstall Kies. All installations without the phone being connected.

If it doesn't work, uninstall Kies, than run CCleaner, than reinstall Kies, try again.

greets

THE-E
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
I've tried to reinstall kies, etc...but the problem is still there :(

I don't understand why the check md5 filename works for the recoverys, but not for the firmwares, just odin crash...it's like that operation with firmwares is too expensive for my pc (an old intel pentium M 740 with 1GB Ram) :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
I've tried probably all, remains only to use another pc...or to format mine :mad:

However i attach the screens of odin just you can see what happen...the first is choosing cwm and is fine, the second choosing firmware xxlm6, but is the same with other...

The phone isn't connected cause it's the same with it...

I'm really sad for this :(

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Hi....very strange!!!

ODIN crashing just when larger file is added :confused: :confused:

Just 1 ODIN running???? [1 instance I mean]

Seems like a PC or OS problem.....but Xp was always my favourite!!!

Have you tried CCleaner on PC......as THE-E suggested??

You could also check with CCleaner what programs are running at start-up, and disable whatever you don't need, to ensure max RAM, etc for ODIN!!!

And MalwareBytes

And then, why not do Defrag after that!!!! always good!!!

Perhaps disable AV while ODIN is running!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
Yes in task manager i see only one odin, it doesn't occupy much ram and doesn't put cpu to 100%...I have tried ccleaner, then all other scanning with antivir and other, today i do scandisk also...but odin still crash...so i also have disableb antivir and comodo and all the softwares in background but it's all the same :eek:

now i need to try malwarebytes too,and check programs at start-up..then remain defrag...

I have tried to put odin,ancora and firmware in C: and not in subfolders...nothing to do...

And in my pc i haven't many programs, just the essential...i did format just 4-5 months ago..however tomorrow i'll check the start-up programs in ccleaner and remove what i don't need, so i free more ram :)

Now it's a battle against my pc! :mad:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
Hi guys...new day, new idea :D

I've tried to put the firmware in odin 1.85 and it do check md5! let's see:

Obviously i've not connected my phone, i don't risk till i dunno more about this odin version, cause there isn't option to choose ops, it's a bit different from the versions of odin multidownloader i've tried...so i dunno if i can use this to flash firmware...do someone know if it's possible to flash firmware like with odin multidownloader?

ODIN 4.43 is working now!!!

I've reinstalled kies, but it open many process in background, so i have removed it completely again this evening, and also i have removed nero incd in the same time...now i've tried again odin 4.43 and it done check md5 of the value pack!!! :D

I'm really happy guys! thanks all ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Not backing up anything yet coz just got it back from SSC, It happen when I change the sim card, the IMEI no. just gone..........
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
This is good, as the ODIN in your pic above would not work, no PIT, for re-partitioning our phone......we need "Ancora" Version

AFAIK, uninstalling KIES does not affect the installed USB Drivers for ODIN, so that is good info too!!!

Question: Can you connect phone to PC, without ODIN, is it recognized when you tap "Connect USB storage" on phone? Can you see both Removable Drives?[Of course with USB Debugging selected!!]

So, what was the problem on the PC......looks like it could have been that infernal Kies!!!!

It definitely sucks....big time!!!

Maybe THE-E can include this info in guide....

Kies and ODIN do not play well together....see this article:

http://samsunggalaxyandroid.net/2012/03/q-why-use-kies-when-using-odin-with-windows-os/
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
I don't get the issue right. Is the problem caused by Kies or does Kies solve the problem ???

One thing is pretty sure, you need Kies for the drivers isn't it ?

@irishpancake: about the quote you have included; I don't know if this point matters, but Samsung Galaxy II are using a different version of ODIN(something like 1.8).

I am not sure, but I remember somebody posting the driver files for SGW.

greets

THE-E
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bagux:
Yes, when i connect phone to pc as usb storage i can see both removable drives.

However i don't know if the problem was kies, cause i had already tried to remove it and try odin, but i had the some problem...then i reinstalled kies, but i have not much free ram on my pc and i never use kies, so yesterday i removed kies and also nero incd...then odin works well :D

I read on many forums that odin have these kind of problem, like it works on some pc with windows 7 but not with xp, or works on xp but not 7...so maybe it's only luck, and mine it's just a case

The only certain thing is kies sucks!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Hi THE-E both things can be said to be true......Kies solves the problem of installing suitable drivers for your device.

However, it also appears that Kies running or having any process running, which could be loaded on your PC at start-up.....this can cause ODIN flash to fail...so it can cause a problem...as outlined...

But, uninstalling Kies does not uninstall the drivers for your device..AFAIK

Also, all drivers are in Kies driver .exe file on PC:

Driver Install File in Kies........C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver

Before Uninstall Kies, if you do, save this file!!!

If you want, you could probably extract and run this from your Kies Download, for your Windows system, etc.....and never install Kies!!!!

Yeah, I know the point about SGII different ODIN, but the principle is the same IMHO :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MaXRaWk:
help...in critical need of help

Can anyone help me?? When i go ODIN mode and i connect my usb to the pc it doesnt read anything......... so i only have one question; should the usb debugging be turned on or off??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
USB Debugging checked/on for ODIN.....

Have you installed USB drivers? or Kies? [Kies will install your drivers]

Make sure Kies is not running on your PC, check all running program/processes with Windows Task Manager.

Run ODIN program first, then plug phone in, ODIN should see it then...

plug out/in if already connected before running ODIN.....

Have you got correct ODIN version....4.43??

EDIT....I nearly forgot....you must be in Download mode on your phone....it's for flashing ya know!!!!!

So is there special driver to install..?!

Or I'm missing something..?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
I'll add that to the description, you will have to install Kies. But make sure it is not running(check in the Task Manager of Windows) while you use ODIN.

As far as I know Kies just need to be installed once for the driver, than it can be uninstalled and the drivers should still remain in the system.
