Hi, thanks for the guide. I am on SGSA 16 GB and want to go back to GB from JB. Could you please tell me if I follow your steps from 1-10 and and flash GB without using pit file and without ticking re-partition, will I get back to GB without my storage shrinking ?

I did not have the patience to wait for an answer and followed all the steps as described per instructions. Unfortunately it did not work for me.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] mickeyindahouse:
I have the idea that i had a much larger internal memory then the 3,81 that it shows now, but i can't remember that i had 11 gb in space either. I have a question: When i use the wrong pit file, the 16 GB in stead of the 8 one, will i break my phone or can i just flash it back afterwards with the 8 GB one if it appears to be wrong ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] dagger:
It wont brick your phone, just decrease your internal memory.

and yes you can always flash the correct pit file if you think that the one you flashed was wrong..

Memory yet 3.9GB even after steps 16-21

[/COLOR]

I did all the steps as guided. But even after going through steps 16-21, my phone memory is only 3.9 GB :crying: Solution plz
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] sasank360:
That is not the right way. This is what I did :

Use ODIN 1.85 for all steps.

For PDA choose the firmware file of your country.

When you choose 16gb pit file DO NOT UNCHECK RE-PARTITION option.

Flash the firmware and once it boots format the USB storage( Internal SD card).

Then you will get 11.3GB storage(16GB).

Better do not use odin 3.07 I tried it and it did not work. Do what I mentioned above. GOOD LUCK :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] MohdGhufran:
Thanks for the help

Thanks bro for the help :o I was too impatient to wait for a reply so googled the problem and I knew that shrinkage is because of 8 GB pit file :( Thanks to xda forum, I found the pit file for 16 GB http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1639022&d=1358013309 (clicking would stard downloading pit file) here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096093 (link of post).

I flashed my phone yesterday according to these instructions and everything went fine (8gb model). However it is now in english, and I would like to change the language to finnish.

What about the PDA,CSC fields?

I successfully downgraded to GB and now i have 3.9GB storage available

I've also downloaded the above mentioned 16GB PIT file.

For reverting to 11 GB, what files should be given in the PDA and CSC fields? The same ones that were used for downgrading? Or something else?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] sasank360:
You need latest gingerbread firmware of your country. The latest ones are all single file firmwares. That is when you extract the zip you get only one "XXXX.tar.md5" file. Select that "XXXX.tar.md5" file under PDA. Use 16GB pit under PIT and check re-partition option. After flashing and booting up go to storage in settings and format USB storage and you will have 11.3GB. GOOD LUCK.

IMEI number is proper: 35...............

But it says "No Service" and not displaying/detecting 3G/LTE network. Not possible to make call/messages.

checked network lock status by using: *#7465625#

Network Lock: OFF

Network subset lock: OFF

SP lock: OFF

Whether patch(ARIZAPatch.apk - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918601&page=31 ) works for SHV-E210S as well?

Do I have to flash new ROM for this?

Flashing new ROM will wipe IMEI?

Okay i feel ultra stupid for asking but..

I have my S3 softbricked and I have downloaded the latest Heimdall and Downloaded a firmware from the samsungupdates website

now I have NO idea what to do. Heimdall frontend only gives options to flash pit and then when i try the package thing, it says Firmware.xml is missing. I only have access to a very crappy iMac right now (512 mb of ram lol) and I need my phone up and running ASAP

"Failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer" message

Hi everyone,

I wanted to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 to Android 4 (as some apps I'd like to use require this) so I did some research as I know that flashing devices can be a dangerous operation.

I'm a MAC (Snow Leopard) and Linux (Ubuntu) user so Odin was not an option for me. I read a great deal of nice things about Heimdall so I decided to try it to flash the ROM and install Jelly Bean.

I first made a backup of my phone.

I then downloaded the program (v.1.31), the xxjvu_heimdall.tar.gz package and opened it in Heimdall (after ungzing it of course).

Everything seemed to be okay (all fields filled as I read they had to) so I switched my phone off, started it on upload mode, connected it to my computer and pressed the "Start" button.

A few seconds later I had this message : "ERROR: Failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer".

As nothing happened in the next few minutes, I disconnected the phone, removed the battery and tried to start the phone.

Nothing.

I then tried to start it in upload mode and it worked (so I believe my phone is "soft bricked").

I've been trying different things along the past 5 or 6 hours : installing v.1.32 of Heimdall, trying to upload only the PIT and BOOT files. But nothing seems to work, I always get the same message.

I read that it could be a problem with Heimdall and my OS X distribution (Snow Leopard). But nowhere did I find a thread where people had been able to deal with this specific situation successfully.

I would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint. I only have access to my Mac for now and won't be able to try it on Ubuntu for a few days...

Thanks in advance,

Gael

Hi,

I tried to flash radio update to ver 6.24, ROM ver 3.14. It failed after 85% and asked to reset device. Now when I boot device all I see 3.14 numbers and after 1 minute G U without any number on top. After 3 more minutes it makes a "ding" noise, hourgalss comes up for a split second and then just blank screen which flashes every 30 s or so. I leave device for 15 min or so at this point and it soft reboots itself at some point without my intervention.

What do I do? I'm having access to another T-Mobile device and soon will be having access to SD card and reader. Can I do something in the mean time?

I have read that I can disable GSM through bootloader but I can't figure out where is Enter button when I come to screen when I can select GSM ON or GSM OFF.

Any ideas appreciated.

Great guide Rizal. Decent English too. Lol. Proud to be Sundanese..

In my opinion, there are other more simplified tools that utilized apktool better (I use apkmultitools and vts (virtuous ten studios)) but people needs to know the basic right..

And I think, you need to put the java\bin directory in Path in windows system variables (or Java_home in win8). And it's better (I think) to put sdk directory (adb, fastboot), apktool and the smali jars files in the Path too, so that users can access from any folders/directory.
