I can confirm that the PIT Files are the same.

MD5 Checksum = 58f454413c08224856fb8c65dc2bb744

Bootloader files are different (yours vs OP's).

Thanks for this info!

But the bootloader from DDLF2 and XWLF2 are probably identic, true?

Those firmwares differ only in their baseband versions probably. (India/Europe)

Hi, [MENTION=4588282]sgatechwork[/MENTION]

What do you think, mate?

Are the bootloaders of DDLF2 and XWLF2 identic?

Could I flash DDLF2 bootloader with the XWLF2 firmware?

Or does 1-file firmware include the bootloader also?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] madanlmg:
THANKS AGAIN!!!

One more question. For flashing this stock ROM DDLF2, do i need to check 1. Re-Partition and 2. Phone Bootloader Update ? I see that this OP asks for it:

Whereas GaneshBIyer's post "CF-Root for most I9003 firmwares (updated 28/06/2013)"

does NOT mention checking these boxes.

In [Q] Odin OPTION -> Phone bootloader Update, it says DO NOT TICK the boxes, i.e. Re-Partition and Phone Bootloader Update.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
1: yes and 2: yes

Rule of thumb is:

PIT file flashed = re-partition checked (it will be done in Odin by default as soon as you choose PIT file there)

No PIT file = re-partition UNCHECKED (it will be unchecked in Odin by default if you don't choose any PIT file)

You have the 5-files DDLF2 that includes also PIT and bootloader.

Otherwise, if you just flash something else, one file (like root, or CWM) in Odin as PDA, don't check any other option in Odin (in such case it would be: 1:no and 2:no)

:)

Yes, tick "Phone Bootloader Update" and use Odin version 1.83 (or other fully compatible version for Galaxy SL)

I think that as soon as you set bootloader file on that Tab, it willl flash the bootloader no matter what you check, but do check it.

Hi, [MENTION=4588282]sgatechwork[/MENTION]

Thank you for saving my SL's life twice.

It will be very helpful if you could provide a one click odin so that we need not to worry about placing files in right sections.

With Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deDante:
agree with sam_777, some member get bricked device because file misplaced on ODIN, and its great if you can make one click ODIN for anticipate misplaced problem...

regards...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
Such a bull*** guys.... one click Odin?

Using the brain is just always the better option.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sam_777:
We people have less grey matter than you have.

Since you gotta a lot of it; please provide a "one click".

Would you mind helping me or bull*** you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
Nobody will help brainless people here, don't even expect it. This is not insalt, but just a fact.

You don't have to be rude to me, mate.

I wasn't rude myself even if it sounded so, just to make the things even more clear:

Odin has several options like re-partition (with PIT file), updating bootloader, reboot etc.

Correct procedure for one type of flashing will completely brick device if different kind of files are flashed.

Odin is not some MS-idiot-safe software. By choosing the wrong options or simply choosing right files to wrong places it will ceirtanly go wrong.

Already just not running it as administrator or run your phone too early into DL mode may be a reason for unsuccessful flashing.

On the surgery of human body (very similar like what Odin does to your device) there would also be no excuse if the surgeon would tranplatate a heart on the place for the kidney. True?

Learn how to use it or leave it.

This is just a well-meant advice from a fellow who helped many times to unknown forum mates here to unbrick :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sam_777:
What mighty odin can do probably we all come to know in some point of time. Mate you simply missed the idea behind the one-click odin. One-click deploys a package to the users device with a single click in the SAFEST manner possible.

You missed the "safest" part but pick the "brain" part.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
I don't know mate....

Flashing a bootloader is just never safe. Just move your USB cable in that moment and hard brick you get.

I really think it is best anyone can do is to learn which function is good for what purpose.

No one-touch Odin please :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sam_777:
You don't need one-click odin, that's fine.

I feel it will provide a safe feeling and confidence to any user. No need to worry about the version of odin, which option to check, which file goes where etc.

By the way there is no software so far I know prevents you from disconnecting physically. Every wrong action has a bad reaction.

Yes you need brain not doing "move your USB cable in that moment and hard brick you get".
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
Well, even a cat walking around the PC in that moment can make a disaster..... :rolleyes:

Need Help :'( :'(

I got my friends Galaxy SL which is on bootloop.

I just flashed with all files of DDLF2 thrice.

At first time it boot up till showing samsung animation and looped there. So i tried flashing again but its not moving in ODIN when showing USERDATA in odin interface and finally FAIL message. so tried twice and same result. I can go download mode now. when switching power button it showing an image of phone, computer and triangle symbol between them.

Please help..

Thanks in advance....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=5785779]bronyDrake[/MENTION] your flashing process wasn't fullfilled, therefore a triangle.

Simply flash it again. Make sure Kies isn't running in the background.

tetakpatalked from the legendary i9000
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bronyDrake:
[MENTION=5051515]tetakpatak[/MENTION]

Kies is not installed in my pc and antivirus is inactive. But when i try to flash its not moving after ODIN shows USERDATA in its interface. I wait for one hour and after that ODIN shows a Message FAIL instead of PASS!

Is it because of NAND corruption?? How can i recover?

Thanks for your reply

try to install firmware from another compiuter

and try first an older version like KPE or KP5
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
I would try:

1) Remove SD Card

2) Reboot your device in CWM Recovery Mode.

(If CWM is not there; flash CF-Root)

Select: "Advanced" and Erase Dalvik Cache.

Go back and Select: "Mounts and Storage"

And Format:

- Data

- System

- Boot

- Cache

After that Power Off your device and boot into download mode.

Open Odin; plug the USB Cable; select the files in Odin (note that last 2 files are switched - Modem and CSC)

Note: You can read the filenames on the 1st page and place them accordingly in Odin.

Press start; and wait untill Odin says "Pass".

Note that 1st boot takes longer.

Also do not remove the cable utill Odin says "Pass"

Let me know how it went.

Please press thanks if i helped you.

This will motivate me into researching more; provide more help; make some applets; tutorials and some more.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bronyDrake:
Thank you so much... I will try when i reach home and let you know tonight...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bronyDrake:

[MENTION=5851899]rgxHost[/MENTION]

See my phone's interface after flashing....

Is it still recoverable?? I'm afraid :( :(

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
Hmmm, I forgot which firmware is now installed. I would try to flash a compatible custom kernel with Odin as it contains a custom recovery. Then boot into recovery mode, format data and install a custom ROM like CM10.2 or CM11 right after that.

IDK if your phone is recoverable, I hope so, mate. Actually if it isn't a hardware problem, your phone should be fine. Samsung phones are not easy to brick, just don't flash a firmware for the wrong phone model, LOL :D

I have had on this device where now write from the problem of broken data partition and bootloop right after unlocking its bootloader, device was just 10 minutes in use then. Formatting /data with custom recovery has revived it instantly.

Thanks for you response.

I flashed with DDLF2. then i got that errors which i attached in my previous post. So then i flashed CF-root DDLF2, now recovery mode is working fine. Then the below given attachments are the result when tried to install CM 10.2.

Edit :- Finally somehow i installed cm 10.2 and gapps keeping those errors. But it is just playing cyanogenmod bootanimation and doesn't bootup completely

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
Good news are: if you can boot your device in any mode and you have cwm then it can be recovered. So Dont worry. With some work you'll get there.

The "cant mount *****" message seems to be normal when flashing custom roms... No idea why yet.

I had the same messages before.

If it happens again try "restart into recovery". (restart cwm)

Well; if you want to revive your phone DDLF2 is the right "tool".

I personally dont recommend Cyanogen roms or most custom roms (for this device).

They are pretty buggy and usually drain your battery fast.

Unless ofcourse, you wish to have the latest UI and compatibility with some apps at the cost of some bugs.

I use the DDLF2 with bam kernel.

With Smart Laucher 2.

And SetCPU apk to manage my CPU Clock Speed and Kernel Governors.

To get your device working:

Do the steps i told you on the previous post for a clean install.

Flash DDLF2 with Odin.

(No need to mark or unmark any comboboxes. Leave them as they are)

When Odin completes and

After booting in the system try to backup your "efs" folder wich is said to have your imei number. (just in case something goes wrong)

To backup your efs folder:

You need to have the cf-root (root permissions) flashed and install a file browser that lets you search the root files on your device.

i.e: "es file explorer" apk.

Note: The "efs" folder is located on the root.

Either ways you're good to go.

Just flash it with Odin. It will certainly boot.

Best regards;

Press Thanks if i helped you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
Hey, that is really good news! :)

We're almost done. If I remember well, you just shouldn't have installed CM10.2 and Gapps together, as after installing CM10.2 the phone must be rebooted first once into the system and then you go to the recovery and flash Gapps ;)

Best check this in the dhiru's CM10.2 development thread....sorry, I was flashing last 12 months at least 35 or 40 different phone models (LOL) so not 100% sure, but I think I remember that detail. If so, then bootloop is normal if you didn't reboot once between flashing a ROM and the Gapps.

Don't worry for all that error warnings in recovery, you will make it now. I woukd now make factory reset and manually format /system before next attempt. If the phone reacts nasty again and doesn't want to flash CM10.2 anymore, simply flash again DDLF2 twice with Odin and do it then from there on.

Just like with the main mkdel i9000, the CM10.2 is probably changing the stock partition sizes of the i9003. Upgrading from stock will work normally fine. But if the phone struggle to flash CM10.2 again (as it wasn't rebooted into the OS) try again with.

It is still playing only CM bootanimation not going forward. i flashed Rom then reboot then gapps as you said.... It wont bootup completely
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
You forgot to add "bootloader" file.

You must add all the files included.

Also; I know i've mentioned this before but for best results always format the system; boot; data; etc pertitions using cwm; and only then flash the ddlf2.

Please press thanks if i helped you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=5785779]bronyDrake[/MENTION] you have forgotten to add the bootloader and then also check the option "phone bootloader update"

BTW why do you use Odin v1.85? It is created for the newer devices, use rather v1.83 instead.

tetakpatalked from P5110
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
He can use the newer version without any problems.

Checking bootloader update may be a good idea.

But i dont recommend to mess with Odin checkBoxes if one doesnt know what those options are.

Hi [MENTION=5851899]rgxHost[/MENTION] [MENTION=5051515]tetakpatak[/MENTION] ,

Once again Thanks for your great support..

I just did everything as you said in several ways.... Then searched and tried some another ways... Nothing takes me to success....

Anyway i will start a help thread with brief description of what all i did...

Actually this is my friends phone. My SL is working great with Dhiru's Nameless ROM.. (Thanks and appreciating his work)

Suggest me if there is new ways to try...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
Sad to hear that.

You can try One last thing.

Try the original firmware from:

Sammobile.com/firmwares/

Enter: i9003 on the firmware searchbox.

Download the firmware of your country (India?) and flash it with odin.

Load the file Under "PIT" (in Odin)

If you get a dead link. Send an email to sammobile support. They revive the link (usually) within 24h.

If that doesnt work.. Then im completely out of ideas.

That solved my problem in the past when i flashed a custom rom.

My problem was due to the partition resize of the CM rom.

Let me know if this worked.

Hope this works.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bronyDrake:
Tried that too... i got an original ddlf2 firmware from sammobile. it was a single file firmware..

Comparing to previous one this is good because it doesn't stuck on half in ODIN.. Always flashing completely..

After that bootloop.. When switching to stock recovery it is showing these errors same as before.

View attachment 2785030

Tried several ways with this new firmware file but no success.

Edit :- I found something strange. I tried to flash custom rom from my sd card. When i click choose zip from sd card it shows no files. but when i click choose zip from internal sd card then it opens my external sd card..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
About the SDCard:

It is normal. After i switched to custom roms it started to show that way.

"SDCard" now stands for internal memory.

And "emmc" or "external SDCard" stands now for the microSDCard.

1st - try the acuicultor method:

- Enter download mode

- Flash latona with odin 1.85 (repartition checked)

- Wait for Odin "pass" message then remove battery and usb.

- Reboot into Download mode again and flash (your rom) i.e: xxkpe (4 files).

Note: Phone will reboot by itself.

- Reboot into Download mode again and flash "ddlf2" (but only pda).

If all goes right you have fixed your problems.

Hit thanks if i helped and please hit one thanks also to acuicultor for this first part.

2nd - Just an alternative

Try: Make a factory reset under cwm and test it.

Try: Put a flashable rom in your microSDCard and flash it under cwm. ("install from zip file")

And test it.

3rd - Last Resorts

I've been searching for that problem but i couldnt find much so far.

But there's a similar issue for i9000.

"The stuff im posting below is risky and can damage your device. I wont be held responsible for any damages that it can cause. Consider yourself warned."

I9000 - Internal SDCard (internal memory) issue

Check this thread |

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221351

Im not sure if this will help. But i would try when everything else fail.

This is a last resource option that i would do knowing it can kill the device. So same resposability rule here.

I would download and install SD Formater for windows. Wich i use to repair my micro sd cards. It may also help to restore the internal storage. (But its risky)

Run it.

Remove Micro SDCard.

Restart the device under cwm.

Mount Internal SdCard so windows can recognize it and so you can format it on the SD Formater.

This app will probably do the same as said on that thread.

4th - If everything failed:

l have some questions...

Is the device a i9003?

Are you sure you are flashing a specific rom for the device?

Did you or your friend install "turbo boost" tweak?

Its not my area of expertise but it is possible that NAND whore off.

At least accordingly with some threads.

Did you or him flashed a rom that was not for that device?

Press thanks if it helped you.

It will keep me motivated to help; research and eventually make some apps.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bronyDrake:
Dude at last it successfully booted up. Its internal memory is damaged. Somehow it bootup with a fresh SD card. But stock firmware failed to boot. I tried with cyanogenmod10qwerty and done the job. Then SD card is selected as primary apps and media storage. Now SD card is partitioned as internal and USB storage 1.67 & 1.85 GB respectively. Everything is functioning perfectly. I think SD card is its heart now. Anyway My friend is really happy with that because at least he can use without changing motherboard. Cm10qwerty is really smooth and stable..

Anyway you helped me a lot. Thank you so much.. [MENTION=5851899]rgxHost[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
I thonk you meant external memory (micro sdcard).

Thats also why i said to remove sdcard before flashing.

Im glad to know you figured it out.

I couldnt think in nothing else that could be wrong.

I personally dont think cm10 is good. (Beware battery drain).

Either way its my preference only.

Gps problem in on this DDLF2. unable to lock any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
Greetings;

Im not the most experienced person but i know a few things that work with GPS files.

1st

What do you mean with lock?

2nd

I would perform a clean install; and after that install open cwm or twrp and perform a factory reset.

3rd

If you cant get your device to locate gps signal i would try:

- Root Tweaker apk (for example) or any app for gps fix.

And activate the GPS tweak ONLY.

Note that in some devices other options can softbrick the device. Consider youself warned. Although they all work great on my i9003.

(Best solution would be edit scripts by yourself).

4th

If your gps stopped working:

- Do you have a custom Kernel?

If yes, revert to stock or find something compatible.

5th

- Make solid backups of your EFS partition. (Get both: *.tar.gz and *.img backups just as precaution).

Note that it is very important to have solid backups of your EFS. Search the forum for more info about it, is higly recommended.

Then check if your EFS is consistent.

Note: There are some (unlocking) apps on Google Play that can do this test for you.

6th

Let us know if any of this helped.

thanx in advanced
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rgxHost:
1st, try to remove the battery. Usually solves Kernel Panic.

2nd, if it fails, you can try to perform a clean flash with Original Firmware. And then another clean Flash with DDLF2.

Note that after a flash you will need to flash your Recovery (CWM or TWRP) again.
