In this topic we GT-I9001 users want to help you with your flash problem. The only thing, you'll need to have atleast 10 usefull post on XDA to be allowed to post in de development section. The reason for this was to prevent spamming. However, it still happens alot, people download a ROM get stuck and ask for help in the topic or make a complete new topic.
I MADE THIS TOPIC TO PREVENT IT!

I think this is a very good topic, the i9000 Q&A sucks really hard for i9001 questions, you post your Q, then wait.. wait. wait and then it's already one the 2nd page and you have to bump your own post until someone replies... very lame way if you ask me. I hope the moderators like this topic as much as we do. *fingers crossed* ^^

Lets hope more people thinks like that
And you should give as much information as possible:
- Rom you wanted to flash
- Recovery
- Steps you did
- Windows Version (If you have a Odin problem)
- Commands you did if you tried to flash with ADB
- If you used Original Samsung USB Cable
- If you are able to enter download mode
- if your device is bootlooping but you can access Recovery and Download Mode
Maybe more if someone has suggestions?
hoooow long i need to wait. ? and also i can't turn on phone.. it stucked on some picture (mobile - pc) after apear 'samsung'
One thing i've realised concerning this issue... on my pc it really depends which USB-port i'm using. Like front ports sucks big time but ports on back of pc are better. It's related to slower/faster usb-ports on bit older pc's (usb 1.1 & 2.0) so it can cause soft-bricks via odin since it's never going to finish flashing. Found out this via hard way.

Back pc's ports are better because they are attached to mobo, front aren't.

ok bu i can't turn on my phone..
i just get phone yesterday. and i was trying to root.
Hopefully this works for you:
Repeat flashing aka close odin, phone to download mode, usb-cable to other port (back if possible), open odin, connect phone to usb cable and reflash... it's same thing as original flashing just change cable to other port.
Only flash roms for our phone model 9001. DO NOT even think about roms for 9000.

For flashing roms i reccomend CWM recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?6qtveztq9997b6n
Put on internal SD, reboot recovery , apply update, apply cwm-5.xxx.xzip
If you have problems with entering recovery use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=713695&d=1315490753 connect phone to pc and start RebootRecovery.bat

Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any damage to your device. You are following this tutorial at your own risk (not to discourage anyone, though as safe as this process maybe I will not take blame for anyone's bad luck). Apart from the tutorial explanation and some pictures I do not own any of the methods/tools/ROMs/FW in this tutorial/guide, I respect the works done here by the developers and I have no involvement in there works neither am I claiming so
Optional: download the android SDK
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Some Common Knowledge
Stock Firmware: Is needed when you get your phone stuck in a boot-loop(not getting past the splash/start-up screen) OR if you're having trouble updating through OTA updates or Kies (I had my share of both)
Odin: Is used to Flash a stock/Official FW and in Galaxy R's case CWM as well
CWM: This is needed to back up your device's current FW and to install custom ROMs
Super User: This thing gives you root access
Custom ROMs: For when the stock FW seems too dull or when you need to tweak your device to your liking. For the sake of keeping this guide simple and "streamlined" this would not be discussed in this post
This Tutorial assumes that you have little or no knowledge on flashing/modifying your phone's OS/Firmware
Things you'll need:
1. Odin
2. CWM
3. Super User
4. Flashable ROM/Firmware available here Courtesy of The-Droidster
5. A FULLY CHARGED Galaxy R aka Royale aka Galaxy Z (aka Galaxy S2's adopted brother aka Loki Get it cuz it's low key )
6. A USB data cable
7. A PC (I'm using a windows PC)
8. Patience and time
For Personal ease keep all downloads in a separate folder dedicated for Android "Hacking"
STEP 1A: Downloading/installing Tools
Extract Odin
CWM DO NOT EXTRACT
From the link above download Super User shown here: DO NOT EXTRACT
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
STEP 1B: Downloading Firmware
Open the Official ROM link provided and choose the Firmware you like (Depending upon region/languages and OS version)
After Downloading the zip file extract it
You Should get either:
1. Three additional .tar/.tar.md5 files DO NOT EXTRACT THESE
OR
2. A single .tar/.tar.md5 file DO NOT EXTRACT THIS
The extracted files should look like this:
STEP 2: Set up
Turn off your FULLY CHARGED phone (It's better to have a fully charged phone but above 50% is good too)
Open Odin from the folder:
.
.
Allow it run:
.
.
Set it up like this making sure everything else is unchecked
.
.
Now put the phone in Download Mode. On your phone press and hold the volume down, home and power buttons as shown (power button last)
.
.
The following screen would appear:
Press the Volume up button (Because you're a bad ass!)
Now connect the USB data cable with the phone and computer
After a few minutes (of downloading the drivers) you should see this:
Now everything is setup and you can start flashing/Installing a Firmware
STEP 3: Flashing the phone.
As mentioned before you would have either 3 or just 1 .tar/.tar.md5 files from extracting the FW
Here is how you put the extracted files in Odin.
For three files
The file containing the word CODE goes in PDA
The file containing the word MODEM goes in PHONE
The file containing the word CSC goes in CSC
AS Shown here:
For a single .tar/ .tar.md5 file, place the file in the PDA
Click Start and wait for the Yellow rectangle to go green and you're done.
The phone will start automatically and take a few minutes on first boot (so be patient)
And you've Flashed your phone! Hoorah!
Now on to CWM and Root!
Place the Super User .zip file and the Custom ROM .zip in the internal SD of the phone (not the SD card)
STEP 4: Clockwork Recovery Mod aka CWM
Launch Odin, keeping the previous settings
Click the PDA button and open the CWM file: it should look like this
Turn off your phone
Put it in to Download Mode using the volume down, Home and Power Buttons.
Connect the device and PC
Be a Bad ass again!
Hit Start on Odin
Wait for Reboot! ....aaaaand then turn off!
Turn the device ON
After seeing the GalaxyR logo immediately hit the VOLUME UP and HOME buttons
If you see this:
Congratulations! You just installed CWM
STEP 5: Super User/Root access
Note: Recovery navigates using power up and down and to enter the power button
From the CWM select "Install zip from sdcard"
Look for the Super User .zip file and select it
Select yes to install
Reboot!
Now you would have a super user icon in your apps!
Congratulations! You just rooted your phone!

I know for a fact that there are more than just one tutorial out there, I just tried to make a simplified and yet a more detailed Guide as best as I could
I even added pretty pictures
Very well written!
Good job buddy! This could just be the new one stop thread for flashing, rooting and installing cwm for Galaxy R!
However there are a few subtle changes that I would like to mention!
1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
download the android SDK It is important for installing drivers and tools etc
Not so mandatory for the purpose of flashing and rooting! Drivers get installed automatically, when the device is connected to the PC(Be sure you have Internet connectivity just in case windows has to look up for updated drivers!)
2. Things you'll need:
1. Odin
2. CWM
Use this link for the CWM recovery! It has been optimised by Adam and does not need to be extracted!
As such make corrections here as well:
Extract Odin and CWM (DO NOT EXTRACT the zip folder inside the CWM)
From the link above download Super User shown here: DO NOT EXTRACT
3. STEP 1B: Downloading Firmware
Open the Official ROM link provided and choose the Firmware you like (Depending upon region/languages and OS version)
After Downloading the zip file extract it
You Should get three additional .zip/.tar/.rar files DO NOT EXTRACT THESE
The extracted files should look like this:
You are being very specific here! The 3 files format is not applicable to all ROM's for Galaxy R. Rather almost all the Stock ROM's come as a single *.tar or *.tar.md5 package that is directly loaded into the PDA section of ODIN! No other files are required!
So please make corrections at relevant places like here:As mentioned before you would have 3 .zip/.tar files from extracting the FW
Here is how you put the extracted files in Odin.
The file containing the word CODE goes in PDA
The file containing the word MODEM goes in PHONE
The file containing the word CSC goes in CSC
4. [*]Reboot! ....aaaaand then turn off!
Odin always Auto Reboots the device after flashing. So no need to manually do that.
5. Now the most important thing:
I recommend that you completely remove the section for flashing custom ROM's.
Reason: Each Custom ROM developer will have his/her own method of installing the ROM. Though most of it is generic, still there are quite a few steps that are different for each ROM. So the discussion regarding installing a custom ROm better be kept confined to the thread of that particular ROM. As such it would be wise to remove all references to Customs ROM's from the guide. Keep it focused on the three imp. things...which you already have done very well!:good:
Thnx!
Good Job

How perfect of you to make this thorough guide right now!
I am having KIES issues and was just in need of this "three-step" procedure for flashing stock and restoring CWM. (I'm not sure if I can flash stock through CWM, therefore I just overwrite CWM and redo the whole thing).
BR, Martin
By the way, there's a mistake in the OP.
You are writing "After seeing the GalaxyR logo immediately hit the VOLUME UP and POWER buttons"
which should say VOLUME UP and HOME buttons.
And tbh why bother to do this, if someone is already repacking every stock firmware with CWM? So that everything is done on automatic basic?

But before that could you plz implement these few changes?

1. Odin
2. CWM
3. Super User
4. Flashable ROM/Firmware available here Courtesy of The-Droidster

Actually I have stated here already :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861954
The mmc_cap_erase bug can actually takes place at the very first time just after the device rebooted with ICS firmware. And if you just switch off the device after flashing the kernel in order to flash the CWM. There is a chance that your device is already bricked during this process. The only safe method to do this is to replace the recovery image inside the stock firmware with a secured CWM (which using a flawless kernel), such that you have a chance to immediately flash a kernel in CWM after the device rebooted.
When the device is rebooted automatically after using odin, it will get into recovery mode first before going any further, therefore no damage can be done as the device never booted with a flawed kernel.
Therefore the method OP mentioned is actually unsafe as well.
oh btw, it is funny to see how many people that are using Galaxy tab 10.1 have bricked their device after updating to ICS 4.0.4, it seems like none of their users / devs have found that MMC_CAP_ERASE is enabled on their device as well lol But I guess I will just make a thread in a minute or so to get them noticed.

Oh well! I think now I understand what u r trying to convey. I found it a bit difficult to understand by reading the original thread that you created.
So what you are trying to say is:
After flashing the repacked ROM that you have provided via ODIN, the device won't boot into the OS! Rather it would boot directly into CWM that you have packed into the ROM. This way you can flash a secure kernel before the first boot itself! So there's no risk of bricking bcoz the Stock kernel won't ever be loaded! Ingenious my boy! Great!:good: How long have you been playing around with this?
Having said that, the guide the OP has posted is not only about flashing ICS ROM's but also for GB ROM's. What the OP can do is add an exception for ICS ROM's and a link to your repacked ROM would fit in well I guess!

How about porting MIUI to start with?
I am already running MIUI Home Launcher and it is a breeze. Do you have any experience with porting ?
I looked at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827256 and it looks straight forward. What I am not sure is how much these applications depend on the underneath framework.. I mean, If I take all these apk and libraries, will it work on this stock Gionee Dream D1 ROM ?

Did you install the MediaTek drivers from the link above? Make sure you dont have the phone connected in the PDANet+ (Right click on the System Tray icon and click on disconnect. Also make sure you have USB debug enabled, under Settings->Developer Options.
If all the above fail try restarting the system and try to connect the phone to a different USB port on your computer.
let me know the results.

Lets keep this thread on topic i will pm with the details
For method 2 (ODIN method), you have NOT mentioned "need to be on root".
But you have mentioned it for method 1.
Does this mean, if I follow method 2 (ODIN method) and flash the recovery from ODIN, my I9500 will be automatically rooted?
My whole purpose is to get root + recovery without loosing anything in the ROM. I bought it a month ago, and have installed a lot of things. I don't want to re-install again.

How can you read the flash counter?
flashed it through Odin, went to recovery mode and found a poor android laying on the floor with open guts and exclamation mark
did not work.
I just installed the drivers for my S4 and odin recognizes it while the phone is on homescreen! As soon as I put it in download mode, it doesn't recognize the phone anymore!

Please read the guides below before asking questions

This CWM and Root Method is tested from many users and at least by me on this devices GT-I9506 and SHV-E330S!!

USE THIS GUIDE WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO AND YOU DONT CARE ABOUT KNOX WARRANTY 0x1b !!!
IF YOU DONT WANT TO VOID YOUR KNOX WARRANTY STOP READING THE TEXT BELOW AND GO OUT OF THIS THREAD..... Thanks !!!
========================================================================================================================
----- SHORT DECLARATION - ODIN3 -----
PDA refers to the build version of the firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
• The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
• .tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
• .tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update

Yeah I choosed the same.
I only suggest you to add at step #6 of the flashing tut the link to the Samsung USB drivers as it's a common thing people might forget to install and therefore the device wouldn't be detected when connecting by USB.
Now thanks to you I can finally back everything up with Titanium and flash another ROM (the NEE one)!
Remember to setup a Beer button so that we can offer you one.

Same problem here. No ext sd card access here with Phils.
Do you remove the sd before going into CWM? Format is exFAT.
Thanks!

I just used Chenglus CWM. No problem with getting access to the SD Card with it.
Well finally the root is here cheers the beers are on their way..........
Anywho have not done the root yet. Before I do is there a way of backing up what I have no so if something happens(touch wood) I can revert back to what I have now?
Also in a dummies guide sentence what is the knox warranty googled it and still not sure

I actually had my contacts saved on the Google account and you can do the same.
Save the SMS with SMS Backup & Restore.
Everything else can be moved to your computer and back.
I then rooted the phone, installed Titanium Backup and went on with a complete apps, data and settings backup.
Even after flashing the NEE firmware everything (but root and CWM) was there without the need of a restore.

DISCONTINUED - Left for research and archive purposes.
After much hardwork @codelover and I are pleased to release both stock rom as well as TWRP 2.8.6.0
for the 2 known variants v31 and v38. Please make sure you download and flash for your specific variant. Check faq if you do not know which variant you have.
REQUIRED FOR BOTH VARIANTS:
Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10TP 32bit or 64bit
SPFT (Windows Version) “linux version coming soon”
Correct Scatter File
Preloader Drivers (if you do not know how to install manually go here)
ADB
A Brain
Usage:
For flashing either pre-rooted Rom and/or TWRP you will need spft+scatter file. It is imperative that you make sure that if you got a v31 you only uses v31 files not v38. Same for the v38 users only use v38 files. You have been warned.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flashing Rom:
Make sure
Run the file flash_tool.exe
Click on scatter-loading and select your MT8127_Android_scatter_RCA_Vx.txt file
Make sure all listed files are checked and if any isn't double click on it and select the appropriate file
Leave settings as Download Only “if working tab Format All + Download "if wont boot' then hit the Download button
Make sure your tablet is completely switched off then connect it to your PC and the flashing process will commence immediately.
Once it's done, you'll see the tick sign below and that's all. Reboot your device and setup your device afresh.

NOTICE:
Please keep thread clean and DO NOT ask things others have asked already as you will be ignored. If you do have a honest question and have a working knowledge of android. I would be glad to assist you the best I can. If you are noob and messed something up DO NOT ask for help. Meaning basics of knowing adb,logcat, installing drivers, and so forth. Sorry if you are a noob but please try to understand that things we may ask of your will require this and becomes too much of a slow down if we have to guide you thur everything.

Faq:
Question: How do I know which variant I have?
Ansere:
Method #1
From a booted android, goto Settings > About > Build number
You should see something like this.
RCT6773W22-ANDROID4.4.2-3101-V38-V1.8.0
Method #2 (Better & more accurate)
For this your device must be rooted & already have USB Debugging Mode enabled.
Make sure adb.exe has been installed on your system (computer).
Execute the following adb command:
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /proc/cmdline
then search for ‘lcm’ text in the output:
If lcm=cpt_clap070wp03xg_lvds < you need to use v31 files
If lcm=1-lxjc070whm270_18a_rgb < you need to use v38 files
Question: What if I dont remember which variant I have and can’t access adb?
Ansere: If this is the case we will need to use SP Flash Tool to help identify your variant.
Open SF Flash Tool, load V38 scatter and switch to ‘Read Back’ tab. Clear all then click Add,
Click the new item & change the output file name from ROM_0 to ROM.txt,
edit the readback address as below:
Start Address: 0x9000000 / Length: 0x1000
Then press “Read back” button, now connect the tab while powered off.
When it’s done, open the file with wordpad and check if you have “ANDROID” at the beginning of the file, if your answer is yes then you have V38, otherwise use V31.

Note: Watch your tablet as you're doing this. You may have to grant su permissions on the tablet after executing the "su" command in adb.

I can't say as to why but you do need the self education one can learn about how to use spflash tool,, seeing as that's the way that I know that's the first info I could offer ,,, you should get your version information first, then download your ROM because the scatter file that had reports of best results are in the full firmware, and you then need to know that the reset button will bring up a driver install but it happens fast to catch this you need the device manager in windows open, plug the rct in then press reset with a tothpick or other small pin ect,, the device shows up with a sound chimes on windows, right click the new device in the USB group and install using the hosted driver,,, now to the spflash tool its self load the scatter in the full ROM related to the vershion you have and then only check recovery,,, and find the twrp.IMG in you downloads and use only the download option in the spflashtools,, and click download then Right after hit reset on the back of the tablet,,, it can be done ,,,, even for the new people wanting to learn,,, regarding the twrp,installer.exe I linked to, I have no knowledge it was only reported to be a full success by another user before you so I wanted to offer a fast way for others to find it ,, so I linked to the .exe,,, and lastly ON MY TABLET I HAVE TO BE ON A CHARGER TO LAUNCH RECOVERY AT BOOT USING VOLUME KEY,..and you can download a root reboot apk that will boot from inside android directly into recovery,, maybe I helped,,,, p.s. another great thing the full ROM offers is the original OEM recovery.. Pleas do try to learn. As always i do wish every one the best
