What version did you tried sir?? The Alpha 4 base Rom?? I suggest you do clean Install from XXKPE but DO NOT INCLUDE BOOTLOADER in PDA.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
If you are from Alpha 4 and wants to go back to stock flash full XXKPE (with latona.pit) first in ODIN but WITHOUT BOOTLOADER.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
Just flash it again sir, there will be no problem. To install that rom, i recommend you to start from XXKPE FULL (repartion w/ latona.pit) WITHOUT BOOTLOADER then Flash DDLF2 then CFROOT of DDLF2 in Odin PDA. Then install CM10 Alpha 4 by Dhiru (see Development Thread) then flash GamerX Rom. Goodluck!

Re: General Guide for i9003 Noobies UPDATED (Go Back to Stock From Alpha 4!)

Thank you sir, but by flashing will it undo all my apps and settings? I dont want to lose all my files and savefiles..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
Re: General Guide for i9003 Noobies UPDATED (Go Back to Stock From Alpha 4!)

The Latona.pit will make sure you lost everything inside your system storage and internal SD Card. If you have external SD card, it's not going to get format. Suggestion, backup every data inside your phone.

Sir, im referring about the bck.. If i flash it, will it still revert back to the old settings? Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
If youre referring to to that bck the answer is no, this will just install new kernel and root your device.

Hi, marshygeek

I flashed this stock rom I9003ZHKPI_I9003XXLE4_I9003ZZHKPD_HOME.tar.md5 and this kernel PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_beta14fix.tar in Odin and everything seems all right. The CWM in this PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_beta14fix.tar is CWM Recovery by amit.bagaria v 5.0.2.8. When I tried to backup in CWM Recovery, it only backup system, data, datadata, cache and nandroid but not the boot or recovery (partitions?) though in advance backup option, it said "backup boot : Yes". How could I back up the whole thing including the boot and recovery in CWM 5.0.2.8? I could back up boot and recovery with CWM6.0.1.4 in Cyanogenmod 10. Could I install CWM 6 in GB 2.3.6?

May I have your advice, please.

sgsl 9003 with no cellular signal, no imei...

i've a galaxy sl 9003 with a stock rom, suddenly before 2 days the phone took a restart and then i was left with no cellular signal, no imei, no baseband version, i tried switching sim's but in vain, asked the guy at the service centre and got a shocker that the motherboard needs to be replaced....need help on this

the phone is working its booting up i can use the wifi but the cellular part isn't working...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
No you cant because CM10 have different partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
You went to Service Center and he told you that? Before going to him AGAIN, try flashing XXKPQ then DDLF2 first.. Then check if everything went fine. If no, then its a hardware issue and needs a service center replacement. HEY! Ive read that when you replaced your motherboard it will be changed to 16gb of internal sd card :D just not sure if its same in your country though.

Dont worry about it, its normal (recovery bootloop), just pull the battery, enter recovery mode again and flash cm10. Just a tip, i think if you try to flash cm10 by IoSconosciuto that dont happens any more.

SCL ERROR red stripes boot

[written yesterday]

Hello, I have a scl for 1 year and a half. I've been using the rom CyanogenMod 9 for Samsung Galaxy SL from the alpha 6 and updating it regularly until the 14th. Yesterday, install the rom Xgamerz 3.1 and everything was fine until I scl stayed with the black screen and I had to shut it down from the battery, since this has happened I can not access the normal nor the recovery boot, but I can enter download mode . I attached a video here youtube.com/watch?v=Ff8mv_qH8I8 I would like to keep the data in internal sd.

[written today]

today I tried installing KPE and did not work, and neither does KPU then worked and finally I tested with a modified recovery and could not enter. but I have removed red stripes. I've also tried KC1

thanks greetings.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
Maybe because CM9 and CM10 have different system partition. Are you sure you did the right steps when u flashed XXKPE? Try it again dont forget latona.pit and dont include the bootloader. Follow my guide in the post. Goodluck.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kralin:
The usb problem that you describes is a known bug in the rom that u are using (cm10.1), and you should know it if you are who installed that rom, if you are not, thats your answer, a known bug solved in the last alpha 3 build developed by dhiru.

Anyway, I think you are in alpha4 rom so just proceed as marshkygeek indicated. Kies is never used to upgrade or downgrade custom firmware, use odin and follow all the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vincentsiau:
you have to download all the stuffs that are required first.

1.XXKPE

2.DDLF2

3.Odin

4.CF-ROOT for DDLF2

Turn off your phone and hold volume down key+home button+power button for about 2 seconds and it will be in downloading mode.

After that just follow the instruction given.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:

Idiot question

I've tried searching but it may be that I am not exactly knowledgeable on what I am searching for. I'm trying to install the REMICS ROM and there is this part on the instructions I don't understand since it doesn't seem to appear on other ROM installation instructions that I have seen:

- Full LF2 reset odin then remove cable and battery in bootanimation of ROM > DDLF2 Full (PIT,BOOTLOADER,PDA,PHONE,CSC) .zip - 200.06 MB

- CF LF2 (PDA only with Odin) reset odin then remove cable and battery in bootanimation of ROM

from the videos I've seen they just install from SD card the zip file, so not really sure if I missed something
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
Can u tell me what rom ur using now? Just full ddlf2, then CD LF2, then put the REMics in sd card then go to recovery mode flash the zip there, then wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chanchan05:
I'm currently using XXKPE 2.3.4 (since I soft bricked it applying a CF-root I had to install this). I realized that they were links and I saw that DDLF was a ROM, and the other appeared to be a CF root. So does this mean, I have to use the DDLF2 ROM to install RemICS and I can't use another?

Hey dude. For me CM10.1 is good enough. Bluetooth ok HPS ok battery drain depends on you though JB roms are really energy hungry than GB rom. Wifi ok. No lag depends on the rom. Choose light roms. Hmmn.. Better to test it yourself though. :D

Sorry for late reply, CM10.1 can be used daily driver but it has a few bugs for me.

2. Also the wifi drops unpredictably, but it connects again after a few seconds.

These are the good things that I experienced from CM10.1:

1. It has ok battery backup. (though I am now using stock Samsung DDMF1)

2. It is the smoothest rom that I have used for SL.

Few questions:

Which rom/firmware?

Which kernel? (Did you tried the kernel specified in the rom thread?)

Did you received any error while flashing the rom?

Also, follow these steps for flashing the rom.

Install stock rom (DDLF2 is a full rom, and is recommended). Then download the CWM file from the thread for the specific rom and flash it. Finally, copy the rom you want to sd card and flash using CWM recovery mode (volume up + home + power key). Do a factory reset, wipe battery stats and cache. flash fix for wifi issue (if it happens). enjoy.​
