Hey guys I need to send my phone back for warranty replacement and I am afraid to use Odin one click, because I know it bricked a friends phone recently beyond even JIG repair. His was an 11.02 or something and mine is a 10.07.
All I have flashed is DG's Cognition if that helps.
What should I do to go back to factory stock, will oneclick kill mine like his?
I cant afford to brick this one so I just need some confirmation, thanks guys.
Odin back to stock is the preferred method. While there is risk of brick, it generally doesn't happen that often. I have used it countless times.
But Odin will bring you back to stock and wipe any evidence from having a custom ROM.

*Also, you could always say you were trying to update via kies and it stopped working (if anything went wrong) They won't ever know and it'll just get flashed stock firmware once they get ahold of it anyway.
I believe you can flash back to stock using OdinOneClick. But just to be sure you can flash this package instead
--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
That package flashes everything but the two bootloaders and param.lfs. Meaning if anything goes wrong you still can use the combos or a jig to get back into download mode .
Just to double check you use:
Vol up, Vol down & power key to get into recovery mode?
&
Vol up, Vol down & usb cable to get into download mode?
It doesn't matter at all if you brick it. You're sending it in for a warranty replacement already. If odin one click bricks it tell them some bs about kies doing it.

Is it really necessary to post a useless post, with no information?
You really think I didn't search these insanely complicated and deep forums?
A friend of mine just ended up with a hard brick after using odinoneclick.
Something about a later build phone. But nobody seems to know much about this issue.
So needless to say I would like to be a bit cautious now.

About as necessary as you starting a new thread for a common issue instead of posting to an existing related thread. And the problem with later build phones (1008 and up) is also well documented in here. Be cautious all you want, but respect the forum by not starting redundant threads.

Im trying to get back to stock from GB. Mine is 10.06, OdinOneClick (with 2 bootloaders) wont work, odin3 works but I cant find a stock rom with those 2 bootloaders.
I could tell you to use odin3, but I cant link you a stock rom with 2 bootloader.

is there a way to go back to stock compleately?
I used odin and it brings it back to stock software, but what about the data on the phones internal memory all that stuff is still there. Like pictures, music, titanium backup files, etc.
Can the internal memory be formated?

Hi all.
My wife hqs a I9003. She was running rooted stock 2.2.1 KB1FW on it. Everything was fine untill about 4 days ago. Thay's when without reason the whole Android system started to fail. Clock, Maps, Messaging, TW Launcher, etc all gave error and forced closed. She only had about 10 or 15 apps installed and all on phone memory. So I did a Factory Restore thinkg it would help but it was all still the same.
So I flashed KPE (all 4 files) and a new error started: after 1 or 2 after the factory restore on new FW, phone crashes and goes in to a boot loop (Samsung logo and intro screen). Once I manage to get back to Android, it's reset to factory settings (install wizzard). I've flashed KPH, KB1, KB3 etc and it's the same problem all the time. Was flashing the APBOOT file from KPE a mistake?? How can I fix this?? I don't have a backup and even if I did, I can enter download mode but not restore mode (Vol Up + Home + Power).
Please, I need help urgently
Thanks

Before this all started did she install some unknown kinda software/app from the market?
Also while flashing did you use Latona.pit file?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk
Nope. Thay's the weird thing. On mine, I'm constantly installing/deleting from the market, blackmarket and other sources and have no problems. All the apps she had, I installed myself and were all "safe".
As far as the pit file, I used it first joint with the other 4 files (like I did for my I9000) and after I used it on it's own. I've tried first the pit file, then the FW files, just the FW files and the pit + FW files with and without re-partition checked... I'm running out of ideas and getting desperate...

Sounds to me like the phone has developed a hardware fault.
Things do just up and die sometimes..
Could it be the battery??? She hasn't dropped or banged it at all. Mine had a slight swim.and is still perfect. If I flash it back to a European KB1, would the warranty still cover me??
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Try to do the following:
Select only latona (.pit) and repartition in odin. Put the phone in download mode and flash.
Next reset all. Select pda, modem, csc file from XXKB3 firmware. Dont choose repartition and flash.
hope it works
Sent from my GT-I9003 using Tapatalk
Tell me teh method what you followed to flash? Like first, the pit file with re-partion,auto-reboot and F.reset time checked. And, then, the other 4 file of the SAME Fw with the auto-reset unchecked. Also, Did you click on the reset button after flashing the pit file?

Had done that before but just did it again. So far it has crashed once but didn't revert back to factory default this time and I now have the recovery mode again.

I've done it various ways as I explained in the first post. With and without re-partition, with and without the pit file, etc.
But I had a minor brainwave this morning after the first crash on XXKB3. The microSD she had in her phone was an 8GB she got with her old Xperia. It was used under Symbian and when I put it in her Galaxy, I think I had formatted it with the PC but not with the phone. Can't remember (she has it since May). In any case, she didn't have apps stored on the SD but she did have all wallpapers, photos, music, ringtones, etc. I've now removed the SD and see how it goes. Just thinking that maybe the SD is f****d and could be creating a shortcut or inestability with the phone... Worth a try as I'm all out of ideas.
Thatnks to everyone for the help you're providing me with this issue. I suppose it's weird that after flashing many different ROMs the problem persists and is still the same. If all else fails and I re-flash the XXKB1, do yo guys think Samsung will take responasability for the problem?? I have it unlocked with the app thats on the market, but AFAIK I have the EFS folder backup stored somewhere.
Well phone still switching off with the XXKB3 FW. It's only switching off now tho... No boot loop. And at least now I know it's not the SD at fault. I'll try re-flashing XXKB3 tomorrow as I only flashed it once today. Then I'll do a factory format and reset battery stats once I flash the CWM. If after that it's still the same, I gues I'll have to restore the EFS folder, flash the XXKB1 FW and send it off to Samsung and hope for the best... Unless anyone has any other idea I can try???

No. Anything that is done using Odin voids your warranty so when visiting service centre just flash to the firmware that your phone came out of the box then tell the service centre staff the phone just went crazy or anything like that just dont talk about Odin to them. And try this out.
1. Download an app called Rom manager from the market.
2. Make sure you are rooted.
3. Go into rom manager and hit fix permissions.
4. Reboot.
That should do it. Or else its the service centre.

But if you dont come from russia which the csc says ser which is russia then they will know its definite you used Odin as there is no other ways you could get to a firmware of another region where you don't even come from using Kies unless you hacked Kies which also voids the warranty.

Then the warranty will be voided didnt you see they said warranty will be voided if not bought within the country or something like that.??

That is complex! In, India, You just go into the service center and tell him your problem! He will check the FW version and tell that you void warranty. Just SHOUT at him and tell him you are a developer ..VOILA! He will service it! He will take a hell lot of time for a small problem though!
And if I'm willing to pay for the repair?? Or maybe load a europe CSC file on it... Had a bit of a bright idea today: switch batteries. She's using my I9000's battery at the moment. Let's see if it doesn't turn off. My I9000 fell yesterday, had a rubber cover on it so the bang wasn't bad BUT my loud speaker has blown out seems easy enough to replace and I do laptop repairs so shouldn't be too much hastle to sort it myself. But so much for the Galaxy S being the iPhone 4 killer... Sem to be quite delicate phones...
Bit of off topic: anyone know anything about the Galaxy S 3??? If and when it's coming out and some type of details.. Galaxy S 2 was a big failure with more problems than the one I have according to what I've read on the internet...

1) Galaxy S3 will be launched once Nexus Prime is out (also being made out by Samsung)
2) Nexus Prime will be released some time in October so S3 will probably be released late October or sometime in November (more or less - to compete with iPhone5)
3) Galaxy S2 is one of the hottest selling item in the WORLD right now - i guess you have read some biased reports about its performance issues.
Just thought I'd give you all a quick update on what's happened with my wife's I9003.
After trying everything possible to fix it via flashing, the whole internal memory collapsed. It wasn't even able to finish installing the last firmware I flashed on it.
I took it to the shop, told them what happened and the sent it off to the technical repair service. That was on the 5th of this month.
Got it back today fully working!!!
They changed the main board as a faulty part, so even though it was unlocked with no EFS backup and was flashed numerous times, the guarantee took care of the repair
Tomorrow I'll root it and install ROM Manager and do a backup of the firmware before I flash it to Gingerbread, as they've returned it with Froyo and carrier boot screen. And this time I'll keep a backup of the EFS folder too LOL
I wonder is there anyway to force a main board to break via software, would be interesting for those that have voided their warranty by unlocking or flashing, if the board is broke, any changes become untraceable.
While I'm here, just a quick question: When I do the backup via ROM Manager, will it backup only the PHONE part of the firmware or will the MODEM & CSC be included too?? If it's only the PHONE file, how can I backup the others???
Thanks to all of you that responded to my original post and tried to help me with the phone.

No big deal. Swapped mine out today. I will hold on to the phone til the GS2 comes out, and then im switching.
ADB isn't recognizing the phone either. I believe I left it in USB Debugging mode before this all happened, but maybe that got reset when I did the factory reset and therefore it isn't enabled anymore.

you are correct... any setting you may have altered in your phone is saved in the phone's data partition... the build.prop which im assuming you edited is saved in the system partition.. a factory reset only wipes the data partition, this means the setting you enabled for usb debug is set back to default and the build.prop you edited is left the way you edited it in the system partition completely unaffected... best chance is to wait for a manual CWM

Had some issues with my galaxy tab.
Long story short I went to nandroid restore and **** got worse. The tablet was repartitioned before creating nandroid and I thought it would restore okay.. NO.
I used factory reset package and tried to get it back to factory, no dice. NO matter what i try IT BOOTS, BUT old apps are there. I can manually uninstall them, restart the tablet and they are back and Force Closing like crazy. I tried a factory reset from the device and same. I don't know what to do I need some sort of superwipe.
I have tried about everything I can think of. Anyone else have any ideas here? A superwipe zip etc?

I would say if wipe doesn't work, flash back to stock using odin/heimdall then flash what you have right now... repartition doing so...
However Factory reset not working is kinda strange...
Waiting for more details or info
I'm reaching a bit, but one problem you *could* be having is that since you've added new roms you've updated your filesystems from RFS to EXT4. I'd have to look at the ROM package you are using to determine how it's moving data onto your filesystems, but if it's true stock then it may not know anything about EXT4 and be trying to mount the filesystems as RFS (which would fail if you've converted to EXT4).
I've found in playing around with flashing a lot of different kernels and builds to my phone that a flashing "everything" using Heimdall is the most thorough approach. What you want is a build that will replace the cache, data, system, root and kernel "/dev/block" devices, as well as the primary and secondary bootloaders. This link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031
Has the stock rom (it's a TAR file, like you would use with ODIN, but un-tar it and you can use with Heimdall) for a Sprint Tab. I don't know if that's what you have, but I'm sure you can find an appropriate stock for your tab. If all you get is a big TAR file, what you want to do is un-tar it and the contents should be something like:
zImage
recovery.bin
factoryfs.rfs
params.lfs
cache.lfs
dbdata.rfs
boot.bin
Sbl.bin
...and there will probably be a modem.bin. I would avoid flashing that if you can. I've just had some very bad experiences flashing the wrong modem.bin by mistake (had to take the tab apart, solder a JTAG to it, and use the JTAG ressurect to bring the tab back to life).
While all this "should" work that same with ODIN, my experiences have been more reliable after reflashing with Heimdall. By reflashing something like "factoryfs.rfs" you will not only be flashing the files, but also in effect be reformating the filesystem for the "factory" system files you need.
Keep in mind doing this kind of reflash will return your filesystems to a "pristine" RFS state... but it should get you back to a place where you can then restore your nandroid backup with Heimdall.
I have been having the same problem with my cdma tab, no matter what rom I install or the method (heimdall,Odin,or cwm) I have apps that will not delete and non stop force closes. These apps will come back after data wipes, and from rom to rom they are automatically reinstalled.
Miui is the only gingerbread rom that I had limited success with, but with miui I get non-stop keyboard fc's. And the unwanted apps still come back.
I have tried everything suggested in this thread, and the only thing that has semi worked was flashing an ice cream rom to the tab. But of the two ics roms I found, one has no wifi, and the other says encryption unsuccessful on boot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, my tablet is currently at Samsung repair awaiting repair parts. Meaning that as you mention here, if you have this problem it appears to be a hardware issue. Mine was around 1 month old so still in warranty. Sucks to have to live without it though.

Follow up, they changed the PCB. All was well initially, however, after a couple weeks the tablet began having the same issue all over again

Hey all,
I just went from ICS to Stock 2.3.6 and the first thing I noticed is that after the flashing process where de phones go to recovery and loads for some time it asked me for a password... I tried many things but without luck, i flashed TWRP and wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...
Now I set up a Pin lock on my phone and I know 100% sure i know the pin because im using it for a year or so now but it keeps telling me the pincode is incorrect, so i cant unlock it.
Wiped everything again and did the same thing but again it keeps telling me its wrong while I know its correct...
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Well, according to this: "I wiped data and everything then it went away and I could normally use my phone...", it seems (at least that's what I think) that you have set a software-based pin code (instead of the simcard code itself) from which you thought it was the simcard code all the time. so your simcard code remained unchanged. This is just my speculation, try the original code. (if you can still find it) Because wiping any partition would never delete information (pincode) on your simcard.

No its not the pincode of my simcard that it asks for thats still there and working fine it asks for a password which i assume is the pinlock on my phone, i also tried without a lock on my phone and it still asks for it.
On this thread the OP has posted a phone its exactly like that!

Reboot to recovery connect to pc copy all imp songs photos etc to pc and wipe your sd and external one and factory reset

Only possibly related thing I could found inside build.prop
ro.ril.oem.nosim.ecclist=911,112,999,000,08,118,120,122,110,119,995
but im actually 99.99999% sure that that doesn't make any changes at all
Hmm thanks brood, i flashed the same stock before and it worked fine only after ICS i only wiped data and then flashed srock woth odin afterward i did all the wipes maybe that explains it...

It may sound as im advertising, but what you can try is flashing broodROM RC5 with odin, a bunch of people actually reported that if your stuck in "your" situation, a flash of broodrom goodness can do miracles. I have never experienced such problems but you can always try and flash my rom, if it works again then install stock

I just installed Broodrom Business edition and the first thing I did was testing if the problem got solved, so I set up a pincode even wrote it down to make sure I dont go paranoid but it still says wrong password and I cant unlock the phone anymore, wiped cache+dalvik cache+data/factory reset and even did a system wipe but still nothing, im using TWRP by the way...
I really hope someone knows how to fix this I really hate the situation im in right now and I really want to know whats causing it...
Flashing ICS ang going back to GB seems a big mistake of me...
Hope you guys can help me!

The best thing you can do is to flash VIA ODIN BroodROM RC5. As brood said, it does miracles.

I just flashed Broodrom RC5 and everything went as expected, only Odin didn't say PASSED this time either but it went well luckly.
The phone booted and i set up an lock screen i locked it and it still says pincode wrong! Now i need to wipe date etc to have access again.
This is really pissing me off...
What can i do now?
Where is the lockscreen located? maybe i can access it and change some values or something?
Or can someone thats using Broodrom rc5 give me his framework file or some system files that the lockscreen may be using?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry man. Pin code security comes from you sim card. Changing your system files wont work. You can Buy a new sim card, Try to find puk code or go back to your provider and tell them you lost your puk code.
edit: Oh. I didn't read the OP when i posted this. My bad. Forget what i said

Haha. My bad. I read the OP after posting. Sorry. Anyway. I'm not as smart as mister broodplank, But your problem might be solved after installing 2.3.6 via kies... i don't know for sure if this is possible when you allready have 2.3.6. Anyway. Google it and maybe your problem is solved.
Am i right? Could this be a solution brood?

I am now on 2.3.6 and I already wanted to try that but when I connect it to kies is says 'Your device is not supported' or something because I got this firmware file from samfirmware I think.
Is there a way to force update to the firmware Kies was giving?
Btw i noticed when I set a pin screen lock and afterwards I press 'No Screenlock' it doesn't ask for the pin to confirm, and as long as I can remember it did when you wanted to remove the screenlock(back in the days when it was working lol).
