Problem Rooting Samsung Galaxy S I9003 using Odin

After following kkrraazzyy 's instructions for rooting my Galaxy S I9003 which, according to the comments, seemed to work for a lot of people, I came across a problem.
After selecting the pit file, putting my phone into download mode, connecting the usb, and noting that the COM was recognized by Odin, I clicked start.
The process was running smoothly until it reached the Reset phase. At this point the phone screen's "Downloading" image went blank and has remained blank for a while now.
Help, Please!!

Odin is not use to root..Odin is for flashing firmware..
To flash firmware,follow the guide by Misledz here(Gingerbread only)..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
For root, use CF-root by skin1980(For xxkph & JPKP5 only)..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201062
For other froyo version,you can search from this forum..All guide is there~..

I followed the instructions but I'm still getting this blank screen once it reaches the reset! I don't think the phone is booting properly (or at all perhaps)...

Okay so basically here is the problem:
I wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy S I9003 (Build JPKC2). Unfortunately for me, I ended up flashing it instead of rooting it. I used Odin and everything was going smoothly (little did I know I was flashing not rooting) then when it came to the reset phase, my phone screen went from the downloading mode screen to a blank one.
Can someone please help me and tell me what to do?
Also if you need anymore information, please feel free to ask; just bear in mind that I can't access anything on the phone because it doesn't turn on.

it is simple man..
step:
1- Flash XXKPE file, put all the file in the required box in Odin v1.83 then
1a- 3 check box are CHECK!
2- Flash XXKPH, only 1 required box needed which is PDA.
2a- 2 check box are CHECK!
root
1- Flash CF-Root kernel in Odin v1.83 under PDA.

There are 2 method:-
1- CF-ROOT-XXKPH-05.09.2011.tar to flash using odin v1.83 under PDA
2- CF-ROOT-XXKPH-CWM_manager-05.09.2011.zip to flash using ClockWork Recovery
u can find this on 2nd post

thank you! but where is the second post?

lol same thread just u give me before..under 1st post is 2nd post

oh! sorry about that.. thanks
so if I'm using odin i just put CF-ROOT-XXKPH-05.09.2011.tar into the pda and run it?
and that should fix my whole problem, including the boot issue?

yes i recommend u to use odin n flash that cf kernel.
about ur probs, im not very sure but u can try..if u r still facing the probs, u need to re-flash again from xxkpe

okay just one last question...which check boxes should be checked when I'm using odin and CF-ROOT-XXKPH-05.09.2011.tar into the pda?

maybe u should re-flash again from xxkpe then xxkph..make sure u do the right step..
this is my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l6hTuWWjLE

the video looks very helpful but do i put the xxkpe file in pit, pda, bootloader, phone, AND csc? All of them with the same xxkpe file?

yes..put all the xxkpe file in the required box.. put it all together..3 check box there should CHECK. hit start button and wait until boot into the system. then turn off your phone and go to downloading mode again
then
flash xxkph file, which is only 1 file and put it in the PDA..Re-partition should UNCHECK!
hit start button and wait until reboot into phone menu.
after that, turn off ur phone again and go to downloading mode and flash CF-Root
download the XXKPE and XXKPH here:-

Please help !! Wifi giving "error" problem

I had a rooted stock i9003 at 2.2.1 kc1 , I used spooffw to change change csc and updated to kpm using kies!
Then i rooted using cf-root and used cwm manager for its tweaks... now after all this my Wifi is just not turning on - It simply says Error .. nothing else... it just doesnt turn on!
Note: After update it worked perfectly... now after cf-root it seems to be faulty...
HELP!!

On using Wlan test it shows Driver Loading Unsuccessful...
Can i reinstall my wlan driver somehow?

Bro i dont think so that u are new user here. Why dont u use Q and A thread to post your querry...!
Anyway I suggest u to flash xxkpm. Its the latest GB rom. Froyo is so old bro. I dont think so anyone is using froyo here. Xxkpm is super stable as compared to froyo.

Actually this was a different thread.. but i solved that.... so converted it to this query..
Also ive mentioned in my post that i HAD froyo and i updated it to XXKPM...
So instead of reflashing/reformatting is there any solution?
Ive tried all Wifi-fix apps ..

i will suggest u to reflash using odin. first flash kpe then kpm. Kies sometime dont update properly.

Yeah that's what seems to be needed now... Although through KIES it worked perfectly... it was only after i flashed cf-root kernel through cwm manager did the problem start..

are u using cf root released today by skin??? previous cf root had some problems. Also tru reflashing using odin.

Hey! I replied to you in the CF-ROOT thread. You have flashed the wrong (i.e. XXKPH) version of CF-ROOT when you flashed the file using CWM manager.

Yes.. Im using today's Skin CF-root.... But could you please help me in finding the lastest .Zip kernel for the cf-root?
i.e. On this page :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201062
After flashing the CF-ROOT-XXKPM-With-Extra-20.10.2011.tar
which .zip do i use for kernel?

There's no .zip. There's is only the .tar for XXKPM as of now.
At any given time you can either flash the .zip or the .tar, you need not flash both.
They are the same thing (for example, "CF-ROOT-XXKPH-CWM_manager-05.09.2011.zip" and "CF-ROOT-XXKPH-05.09.2011.tar" will flash the same kernel).
The .zip is there so that you can upgrade from a previous version of CF-ROOT from the current version without the need for a PC using ODIN.
The latest XXKPM CF-ROOT doesn't come in a .zip format 'cause it doesn't make sense... you need to have flashed a CF-ROOT version to get CWM Manager.
I hope I'm clear!
Cheers!

Somebody help!! Find me the above required file please!

Done thanks! Just found out that i donot need that file!

Hi,
I am new to android and I have i9003 with “XXKPN” . I have done CF-ROOT “CFROOT-XXKPN-09-11-2011” by Odin3_v1.0.
Now whenever I start my wifi, it simply says error.
What should I do?
I also tried Hard reset and wipe all data too.. but did not worked.
Should i flash "GT-I9003_SER_I9003XXKPN_I9003XXKPN_I9003SERKPN" by Odin3 as same as CF-ROOT?
HELLLLPPPPPPP

[Q] Need help going back to stock

Hi all.. I helped out a friend to root and install MIUI on his i9003, i myself use a captivate.
These were the steps taken: odin to xxkpe, then odin to xxkp7 then cwm flash to MIUI.
He would like to go back to stock as MIUI is not bug-free and its affecting him. Anyways, i was searching the forum and found a few threads regarding this but I am still confused.
Going back to stock from MIUI/cm7/cm9 from my captivate is just to run odin-1-click and everything is done. Here im using odin v1.85 and wish to go back to I9003DXKP9, as this is the official firmware here.
So in order to go back to stock, i just flash the I9003DXKP9 using odin? Another concern is the I9003DXKP9 firmware has just 1 file :
Code:
I9003DXKP9_I9003OLBKP7_I9003DXKP7_HOME.tar.md5
and when i flashed XXKPE it had 5 files:
Code:
APBOOT_I9003XXKPE_CL409735_REV08_user_low_ship.tar
CODE_I9003XXKPE_CL409735_REV08_user_low_ship.tar
GT-I9003-CSC-MULTI-OXAKPE.tar
latona_20110114.pit
MODEM_I9003XXKPE_REV_00_CL1041909.tar
I also read that if the firmware has only 1 file, just flash the pda and nothing else. So is it safe to assume that the process of going back to stock is just flashing the single firmware for DXKP9 or should i go back to XXKPE and then to DXKP9?? Any help would be greatly appreciated..

its better you first flash xxkpe then one file firmware, if u r reverting back from cm7/ miui/ cm9..
since sometimes phone gets into bootloop when just one file firmware is used to revert back to stock rom...
one file firmware is mainly used to upgrade from another stock firmware...
Hope i helped you..

check whether u r installing the right version of cf root...
install exactly the same version as ur fw has...
or go for universal cf root... its way more convenient...
note: i hope u meant xxkpe instead of xxkp3 ....

If you made a NANDROID(CWM) backup of your GingerBread 2.3.6 firmware, you won´t be able restore it while still on CM10.(as mentioned by MR.Volkf).
I suppose you know that to get back to 2.3.6 you will need to use ODIN to flash the firmwares previously mentioned.
If you´re not familiar with the proper steps involved with ODIN, here´s a great guide on how to do that, thanks to "Misledz".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
Once you get back to GB(2.3.6), then I believe you should be able to restore any GB NANDROID backups that you may have previously made.(From the restore option in CWM recovery mode).
Good Luck!
