Hello guys!
I need you help, I've Giorgio Armani Galaxy S I-9010 and I was trying to update the firmware. There was 2.2 on it and I wanted to update to 2.3.5 which is the latest official for Galaxy's.
Anyway; it's my first Android phone, that's why I didn't know how to do that. So I started to play with Odin, Samfirmware etc. As you could easily guess; now my phone is BRICKEd and I can not use that.
Now I need your help and directions. Otherwise I'll have to throw my lovely phone away. I want to restore all the factory firmware and settings back so I installed from samfirmware.com -all the necessary files. I got I9010XXKB2 file which has GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar and I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar. And I also have GA3_add_hidden.pit file.
As I read forums, I need to put I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar and GA3_add_hidden.pit to Odin and it should have worked but always gives errors. I tried different combinations, I installed older version of Odin as well but can not do!
Also Odin has other parts such as PDA-PHONE-CSC etc. In that case, I use PIT and PDA options, not CSC and PHONE. Because I downloadad latest firmware from samsfirmware and there were only 2 files in zip.
Other than that; in that zip file, in that case again, I use I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar and other file; GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar -where do I have to put that?
AS you see, I don't know too much and I need to be directed. Could you please help me about that guys? I 'really' need that! Thanks in advance

Hi, i just want to know how can i install gingerbread on Galaxy S I9000T from Mexico, i already try several times and no sucess, Odin fails when SBL is flashing and give me a semi-brick phone, some on told me that's a problem with bootloaders.
I already try to flash it with pit file, repartition, no repartion, no pit file, with odin 1.3 and 1.7, i downloaded several files from diferent sites, with and without bootloaders.
So i realy dont know what to do now, anybody have an advice?
Thks in advance!!
I apologize in advance, since I know people have asked questions similar to this already. But I am desperate for help, as I have been trying to fix my phone for 3 days now, and have not gotten anywhere!!! so here is my story/problem.
I was trying to do an update on my samsung showcase (cspire) using kies, and during the download it was interrupted somehow. The phone was bricked. (i think) so then I found something called one-click unbrick. after that i'm able to put the phone in download or recovery mode.
So i have been trying to get factory rom back on my phone. I downloaded odin3 v1.70 and v1.82 (i have tried both of these) and i have downloaded atlas 2.2 for pit and I have tried both EH09_modem_CS.TAR.MD5 and EI20.tar.md5\EI20.tar.md5. Everytime I do this odin freezes on factoryyfs.rfs.... I have tried all the tricks I can find, different usb port, diff cable, running as admin, i even download sandboxie ( someone suggested that)... I dont know if i am doing something wrong, or if it is odin... Also, i'm not rly sure about the software i'm using... I have very little experience with this kind of stuff, but i am really determined to fix this! please forgive my ignorance! TIA!!

I need to unroot my Verizon SCH-I535 and reinstall stock OS. I've read several articles regarding how to do this with desktop Odin, and I'm familiar enough with Odin that I used it to successfully root the device in the fist place.
I've downloaded the OTA Jellybean tar.md5 files from both samsung-updates and sammobile. When I try to load file named HOME_I535VRALF2_I535VZWALF2_618049_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 into the PDA slot choice, Odin shows the filename as having a bunch of Korean characters appended to the filename following md5. This file will not load into the PDA programmer. Picture attached.
This happens with both files downloaded from two different sources. However, I can call up a Clockwork Jellybean file like CWM6023TouchVZW.tar.md5 and it shows a normal file name and it will load into the PDA programmer. I did not proceed with the clockwork update because it would not give me the unrooted stock OTA OS that I need.
Does anybody know why the OTA files cannot be loaded into PDA?
I do not know anything about Verizon or the file you dl'd. I do know there is a newer version of Odin out there. It could be possible the dl is corrupted. Try downloading again. It's not passing the internal check. If possible, try to find file from a more reliable source than asian, if that is where you're getting the file from. You're taking a huge gamble with bricking your phone by getting the file from a foreign site.
To add, I'd suggest downloading the VRBLK3 tar from Open1your1eyes0 thread titled " [GUIDE] Jelly Bean Factory Images ***UPDATED 02/06/13***" which is in the dev section. I notice most people that post issues on xda were following tutorials/downloads from other sites.
4.1.2 OTA is MB1 and hasn't been released that I know of. That is an old ICS build. Follow Snoops recomendation.
Solved

OK, I solved it. Renamed the file to remove .md5 from the end, so it ends in .tar. Korean characters go away and Odin loads it. From there, flashed OK. Phone now unrooted, flashed to Verizon stock JellyBean and on it's way back to Verizon. Replacement GS3 i535 is working great - this was all done to get a warranty replacement phone where the GPS would work. By the way, I tried all the tricks to get the GPS to work . . . tightening screws, clearing caches, uninstalling maps, etc., etc., ad nauseum. New phone is the way to go, for all those who are still struggling with this.
For any phone as expensive to replace as the S3, you should be buying the insurance. I've used it several times to get new replacement phones about midway through the contract. Well worth the cost, to me.
Hi,
I'm new to this,
I recently bricked my phone by rooting and unistalling all of the bloat apps that were hogging memory, I guess I got carried away. Should have stopped once the phone worked normally. My question is where can I find and download the PDA, PIT CSC and PHONE files needed on odin to restore my phone. It seems like all the liknks I've tried are broken. Can I install a an earlier version or something that will work on this phone or do I need to use a specific setup? can I install Cyanmod using odin?
Thanks in advance,
any advice helps

You will get XDA link, there you will find all files needed, Odin and its process..
Choose, package with wipe scripts.
Best of luck.
Hello everyone.
First of all, the questions I have :
Where can I find Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 stock rom file for ODIN?
Which recovery should be used with it?
Boxes I should tick when installing it?
Problem I'm facing :
Tab kept booting over and over and it shows start screen, so I decided to install a custom ROM.
check SlimROM forums and downloaded the 6.0.5.1 recovery and the Slim-p3100-4.4.4.build.9.1-UNOFFICIAL-20150205-2140 ROM
Flashed Recovery via ODIN, then when I tried Wipe Data/Factory Reset, tab just kept restarting as if I never tried Wiping anything.
Read all of the posts on : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/soft-bricked-tab-gt-p3100-t3016879
Conclusion : Before I decide whether the device is bai-bai, I should flash a Stock ROM with Pit files and re-parti (I think)
Problem : Can't find the Stock ROM file and Pit file for days now..only ones I found are outdated and links dead.
(some info on which boxes to check in ODIN and ODIN version would be helpful too, noob over here)
Tab used to run ICS.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
Have you checked sammobile?
Only place to find it will be Samobile, tab has no active development and is ancient with "end of life " issues.
Go to Samobile find firmware, click download, go fishing and come home 12 hrs later and maybe it will be downloaded completely.
If you're lucky flash with Odin and if it works leave it alone.

So I found the PIT file and the stock ROM tar file (Thanks for the tip by the way) and it still didn't work.
It's as if I hadn't done a thing in the first place!!
Stock ROM same as it is, nothing changed AT ALL..all that happened after is that Custom Recovery was removed.
So I entered Normal Recovery and Factory Reset, on doing so, it reset the Stock ROM. I rooted the tab this time and still haven't done anything else.
Tab started rebooting on its own again and soon wont stop rebooting.
All I found on the forums was that the only solution is the Stock Tar + PIT file, but that didn't have any effect at all..
Anyone could tell me how to proceed to install a custom ROM just to get rid of this faulty damn Stock one?
Thanks in advance!
Your help is really appreciated!!
Maybe you need tar.md5 file of a custom rom
Your best bet is to read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3016879 you may find something to guide you.

I was able to rescue mine with heimdall and the heimdall frontend.
