Yep it doesn't. :) two days ago I flashed back and was wondering why my device status was still modified despite resetting the flash counter. Turned out I had to restore to factory defaults.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Hi!

There are new section on sammobile where I saw 7 new OTA files for GT-i9103, all of them from 2012 August. :D

I downloaded Spain (Yoigo) and Germany files, both of them are .bin files and 253Mb size.

Now I think we need some help to see if they are valid for us or our devs. I tried to rename them to .zip, but zip can't recognize them. Kies for windows doesn't download updates on .bin files too, so I don't know if we could do something with those bin files.

Partial screenshot of the page (it's under firmware last files)

This link must be valid for checking latest firmwares for GT-I9103. And this is the link to the latest Germany OTA file update.

W A R N I N G

- These are NOT flashable files in any way (nor odin, nor kies, nor cwm)

- These are NOT tested files, you could brick your phone

- As you could read here, SamMobile explained (but talking about other model) these bin files must be repackaged and signed to be flashable, but in any case, they will increase your binary counter, because they are PRE-RELEASE

Until having some more information, please, don't try anything with them.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Yesterday, SamMobile published a new note on their news telling:

This post were deleted from their server :(, but google and google reader still remember it :cowboy:

The only reference I found about OTA update files on XDA was this post talking about how to extract/capture .bin ota update file on a Galaxy Tab Plus, basically doing software update from the settings menu, not rebooting after question, searching on the phone database and finding an url address where the phone will could download the .bin file from a cloud server, but nothing about what could we do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
I think its the real deal! Time to start downloading guys! :good::fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
But, what the hell could we do with those .bin files? knitting? :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Are u sure its a bin file? bin files are mostly modem or baseband files flashable through ODIN. Maybe a dev can take a look!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Not, it's not a "bin file", it's a ".bin file" (take a look at the dot on the start, it's a "GT-I9103_DBT_265620723.bin" file (the thermany one, for example).

It's not a .tar or .md5 file.

The content seems to be binary code too, I find no references on it.

This stuff belong to general not dev section.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] azhar.munshi:
can you give link so i can check it
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure this is relevant information for developers, probably less valid for me. I wish this could be an open post for them to discuss about if those .bin files could be valid for their work.

Probably, we could have different points of view, so you could move the post to General section or delete it, or maybe ask to a mod for doing it. It's not my problem at all, I'm just happy trying to contribute. :good:

Buddy xlm13x didn't told any thing wrong about your post, he just told that this belongs to General Section and requested Justin to move it to General section ..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
No buddy, as xlm13x & MJ said. it Must be in general section. want to know why..??:p

1) You haven't created or developed anything in this Thread so that it mustn't be in Dev Section.:victory:

2) In General section, downloading can be done by Devs & after using of your thread they can do what they are capable of. so this thread must be there.;)

3) Dev section is for MODs and R&D (research & development) Like thing. So, in Brief ask Justin to move this thread in General.:angel:

Be cool & flow with the air.:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Ok, I understand now. For me there is no problem. I'm sure you could understand my primary desire was to make this information quickly reachable for devs, because I think they are who could help us with those files, and sure they don't visit General section with the same frequency :D:D:D

Ok, so if Justin is over there, I agree to move the post to General.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Not flashable!

You cannot flash it buddy! OTA updates are special bin files. Here is what sammobile did with a similar OTA update for S3 users to convert it into a ODIN flashable package:

Quoted from here
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Great Find Buddy. Ya these are .bin files captured from OTA updates. These can't be flashed via any means. It has to be converted to tar or md5 format for flashing via Odin. Even after conversion, it has to be signed. Only then it can be used for flashing. Could be please tel me the name of the two .bin files that has been released?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Here you go!

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9103&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware

Are you saying you know how to repackage these files into ODIN flashable format?:fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Really there are SEVEN files on the Samdroid i9103 search. You could download any of them.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Hey buddy, if m not wrong then that .bin file is being flashed in LG mobiles also. Coz i do have Lg optimus black and when i rooted my mobile then i had to flashed two files among of them one was .bin file.. Will check it while reaching office 2morrow..coz there is an uploader like odin for LG. Let see..what would happend next..;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
But how can you tell they are related to ICS only...
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Not sure, but just by the date (August 2012). And not, I never said they are ICS, just some new files we could test, check and play so they could be probably ICS related, don't you think?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Buddy that .bin file is different from this! That is just the modem/baseband file you are talking about. This thread is about an entire OTA update. So we need a method to repackage the OTA file(.bin) into a .tar or .md5 format(PDA) that can be flashed via ODIN!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Really dont know buddy..coz sammy can do anything like they did..coz that bin file was also OTA one..bt let see our devs can cnvert that one into .tar or md5.. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Ya. But based on what kind of files present in the downloaded packages. Need to check it. Will c when i get back to home.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

It seems you have downloaded the files right. What i have asked is could you plz tel me the name of those downloaded .bin files. With what name was it present.

Ya buddy. That's true. Sometime they used to give a .bin file which can be directly flash via Odin. But to make sure of that, we need to check the .bin files first.

The entire update can be given as .bin buddy because that's the way the captured content of OTA will be stored. It need to be compressed to a .tar file sometimes or even it can flashed via odin directly. It depends. Remember, Odin support .bin too in the Phone(PDA) column. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
There is something I can't understand.

I downloaded an OTA file from GT-I9100 (Galaxy S2)... it's not a .BIN file, it's a .ZIP file, and it containssix files:

debug_info 160bytes
delta.hidden 13.9MB
delta.modem 211kB
delta.platform 46.7MB
delta.Sbl 5.2kB
delta.zImage5.1MB

It seems to be more manageable for our devs, as they indentify themself.

But our OTA file is just a .BIN file, and reading first hex code, it doesn't seem to be any kind of compressed file, that's the reason that renaming it to *.zip, *.tar... doesn't work. It seems to be directly a disk dump.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
GT-I9103_DBT_265620723.bin

GT-I9103_YOG_252980909.bin
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
That is exactly what I said buddy! But I just ran ODIN to check the supported formats, PDA only supports .md5, .tar and .smd files:confused:. There is no .bin support in PDA. (.bin is only supported in Phone):cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Oopsy. Sorry buddy. I was under some thoughts that we .bin was also one of the supported format in PDA. Yes Phone section will have the .bin file for flashing our baseband - modem.bin. I will assure u of the process once i reach home buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
That's the first characters of the file. I can't find any reference to a system file format, nor to a compressed file or any... :p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Man...thats the boot.bin file (hopefully as we don't have secondary bootloader.So it can't be sbl.bin). Its the raw data of the firmware that will be present in the tar file of Odin. You might have seen a message of this being flashed when u flash ROM via Odin. We can use SplitFUS2 to convert it to a tar file. Will have a look into it. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I'm pretty sure you're not trying to insult me :D But it's difficult to understand you :victory:

Maybe you could understand your self :silly:

But, as I see, every "normal" MD5/TAR files we use with "PDA" button in Odin, is a compressed file with 6 files:

There are no sbl.bin???

Just because they are just partition dumps. But the only way I know is to make a partition by partition dump file (one on each file) and then compress them with some compressing utility (as tar -which I know it's not really compressed, I use it just as an example-, zip, arj, rar, 7z...).

MORE: I tried SplitFus2 with this bin file but had no luck :(
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Sorry buddy. I didn't wrote that in a mean to insult you. Sorry if it was reflected as such. That "Man" was result of an exclamation or excitement. ! And in the next lines i was just trying to explain those stuf...

yes buddy. The Tar file has those img (final products that are packed to form tar). But those img files are made of bin files. The raw data of bin files will be converted to group of img files which are then packed to form a single md5 or tar file.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Don't worry. it was just some humor :cyclops: (just see at the smilies)

As I understand, you said TAR files are a group of IMG files, formed from BIN files but... we have just ONE BIN file.

As I told you before, I tried to use splitfus2 with this bin file with no results. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Isn't there anyway we can confirm whether this is really an ICS OTA file? I don't care whether its .bin or something else! At least we can be sure that we are very close to an official update.:fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amitjoel:
Mate the link that you posted shows the latest version as 2.3.6 only ( the link for the sammobile site).??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Yes, I tried, but it's not a tar file.

Look down... down... do you read "OTA files"?, then continue down... You could see the real OTA files from August 2012... but still doesn't appear data for "Android version", "Needed PDA" and "Final PDA". But, anyway, you could download those BIN files (even we still can't do anything with them).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] amitjoel:
Sorry mate. in a hurry could not see the full page. . tnaks anyway for telling again
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] tweakradje:
I stumbled upon this thread. So what is this bin file? It clearly says Redbend. A google for redbend ota gives you this: http://www.redbend.com/en/products-services/fota

In recovery mode you have Redbend option? Dunno what that does.

I cannot find RedBend extractor (yet).

Sometimes the battery percentage is calculated wrong. That's why the first 10% always disappears quickly after a full charge.

Extract the framework-res.apk from the Flashable ROM you have, move to system, get right permission rw--r--r-- and move again to framework replacing the old one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MrMmmkay:
Afaik there is no flashable zip for the .587 for the pro right now, i just have the .ftf ;).

So i am doing a backup with cwm, reinstall the ftf, extract the framework, restore the backup an put it right back. THAT could take a while ^^

If you have the back-up, you can use "yaffey" to extract the framework-res from system.img.yaff2..
