[I9003] [HOWTO] flash Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL Firmware

Since there is no guide for flashing the Samsung galaxy S gt i9003 I have thought to make a thread on it so here it goes
1. Download and run odin.
2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit
4. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.
5. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.
6. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.
7. After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
8. Click PDA button and select this file: I9003xxxxx-xxx...-PDA-low-CL890053.tar.md5
9. Click PHONE button and select this file: MODEM_I9003xxxxx_REV_00_CL889972.tar.md5
10. Click CSC button and select this file: GT-I9003-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5
11. Remove the battery, then enter Device into Download Mode again.
12. Click Start button to flash these files to phone.
13. Do not touch anything till you see PASS on the program window.
14. Just do a factory reset after flashing using recovery

IF there is only a file of the f.w i.e. pda file then do NOT use a pit file for flashing just select the pda and flash it
I have also attached the Odin and .pit file for download
Enjoy flashing and do at your own risk

@kkrraazzyy, is it Indian release version of the Firmware for I9003? Then its worth downloading.

download this one buddy

What is the source of this FW , where did you get this from its not available on samsung website. Kies is not reporting this update either.

@trip
No. This is generic European version. Indian version will be like I9003DDxxxx.
I will not advice any Indian friends here to flash this as there is no Indian firmware available and you could not give your phone for service in case if something goes wrong.

See the attached screenshot of www.samfirmware.com, its not even available there hence I was wondering where did he get it from.
My main concern is that samsung is not giving any info as to what is new or what bugs are fixed/updated etc.
Android is an open source platform & samsung should have the courtesy to post a change log on its updates.

Yes a changelog for every firmware update is necessary.

sir my baseband version is I9003DXKB2 do you hace a link where can i find the files to be downloaded in order to flash my phone... thanksi n advance

sir can anyone help me with my problem? posted above this message...

@yerfdes
Right now there are no Asian firmwares available. You will have to wait for some time

Worked
Thanks, I tried the XXKB3 and it worked . Wouldn't have tried if Kies was working properly. After many failed attempts and wasted bandwidth tried this method. Initially my phone didn't go to download mode and instead restarted. But Kies messed up my upgrading to firmware and got stuck in download mode. Then followed your method and it worked. Have no problem using European firmware. I too would like to know from where you got the ROM cause it's not listed in samfirmware.com

The link for the ROM is posted above, download that. Extract that, the password is linked to the post.
-Download ODIN Multidownloader 4.43. Link: http://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j...n4WHBA&usg=AFQjCNEnkhKjmSRxlKLFcVNdXh8nnFxU1A
-After it has downloaded, extract it anywhere u want (i suggest desktop, easier)
-RUN ODIN.
-Power off your phone.
-Put your phone into downloading mode. Hold together: Power+Volume Down+Home (phone boots to Downloading mode)
-Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
-Wait for the drivers to install. After that, in ODIN, one of the top line "bars" should turn yellow and some text should appear there.
-Download the AriesVE.ops file and check it as OPS. Then check one package from the top left. Link to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=770410&d=1320332631
-The ROM you've downloaded, check it as one package. Then click flash.
-Flashing will take about 9 minutes.
-Enjoy!

Thank`s dude .. I just hitted your thank`s button

Wich part must load, because when I extracted the firmware I founded 2 files:
SMD_CSC_GT-I9001-MULTI-CSC-OXAKF1_EMMC.smd 539MB
and
SMD_I9001XXKF8_I9001XXKF8_CL310526_REV00_user_low_ ship_EMMC.smd 50MB
Or I don`t extract and loar the archive ?
Thanks
Edit: It was the larger file. Thanks all.

So ... please tell me .. why in Kies I am receiving the message: This version of software can`t be upgraded .. or something like this ...

All the ROMs in this forum are stock roms from different carriers.
Edit: except Cranium RC3
Just read the guide. There's damn step by step instructions.

But I want it original from Kies ... understand ?

then connect ur device with kies and wait for an update

The ROMs here are similar to those updated via Kies. Maybe some applications can be different. I mean it can take quite long to get a regional update. If you're worried about your warranty, just take a backup of your current system.

Stock Firmware
Here's a download of the latest Stock XWJW1 Firmware, with Odin included to flash the three files to your mobile with the xx512.pit file. Mind you, you may need to check [x] Repartition in Odin and make sure you put the right file in the right field for flashing.
Put your phone in Download-mode by Pressing and Holding Power+VOL.Down+Home, let go of the Power-key as the phone boots, but keep pressing Vol.Down+Home. Attach your phone, and flash away.

How to make volume button not activate screen

So I have a question......My husband loves his phone except for one thing, when the volumn rocker is pressed it activates the screen. So after doing some research it seems the only way to change this is to root it. True or not???? Here is the information from his about phone screen:
samsung sgh-i727
android version 4.0.3
baseband version 1727ucld2
kernal version 3.0.8
bild iml74k.ucld2
If there is a way to deactivate this without rooting that is preferable but I have been unable to find any answers to that.
Where do I start and what do I need if so? Thank you.

If, in fact you are on a leaked version of the firmware, you need to go into your apps drawer and see if the Kies app is installed. If it is, you can try to use it to update to the official release of the ICS firmware.
But before you do the above, just for giggles, look in your apps drawer and see if Superuser and Rom Manager are installed. If they are there then chances are the device is already rooted. If it is, let me know and we will work forward from there. If it is rooted you can install a kernel that does not have volume rocker wake feature to solve your problem.

Ok. So there is no rom manager or sies installed.......

OK, here are a couple of links. One is to a tutorial here on XDA that will walk you through using Odin to flash stock ICS firmware from AT&T.
But first, here is the link to download the firmware (ROM) that you will need -> http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162779401/27c699c/I727UCLF6_I727ATTLF6_ATT.zip.html. Just choose "Regular Download" from the page that shows up. I know this is a very large download and will take quite some time to download from Hotfile servers.
And here is the link to download Odin, the program that you will use to flash the stock firmware to the phone. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=925569&d=1330549534
Download both of these packages to your computer, not your phone. And be sure you have an archive extracting program such as 7zip installed on your computer. It is free software and you can download the 32bit or 64bit version, whichever you need, from the following link. -> http://www.7-zip.org/.
Next, here is the link to the tutorial for flashing this firmware with Odin -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
Scroll down until you find section #1 that is titled "1. HOW TO RESTORE STOCK FIRMWARES".
Follow the instructions to the letter, other than the file downloads, as those I have previously provided above in this post. I am assuming that you have already downloaded these prior to implementing the following tutorial. Once you have gone through this procedure and you have a fully functional Skyrocket, please hit the thanks button for Vincom as he is the one that took the time to work up this tutorial for anyone that may need it.
Happy flashing ..... HTR
The following is only copy/pasted from the tutorial link above. Please use the instructions from that thread only. I only posted an example below so you would know where to start in that thread.
DO NOT! CHECK "REPARTITION" IN ODIN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
1. Download Odin 1.85
2. Download the stock TAR for your device - see section below.
3. Extract(with 7-ZIP) the contents of odin-185.zip to a folder.
4. Extract(with 7-ZIP) the contents of the stock firmware file to a folder, do not change the name of the extracted MD5 file.
5. Run Odin 1.85.exe from the folder you extracted it to.
6. Prepare Odin: Check "auto-reboot" and UNCHECK ALL OTHER OPTIONS.
7. Only Click "PDA" and select the firmware file you extracted, it will have a md5 extension.
8. How To Put your device into Download Mode: (download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode)
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys then insert the USB cable into your device. (On Rogers phones It's just Vol Down.) DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL INSTRUCTED
e. When You see the screen warning you about installing a rom w/a yellow triangle RELEASE the volume key(s)
f. Now press and release the volume "up" key, you should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognising your phone. -See Pics Below-.
9. Click Start in Odin, it will flash the firmware, give it approx. 10mins. When its done flashing it will autoreboot the phone. Thats it, you're done.

THank you. I will try this tonight when I get home and let you know how it goes.....

Well finally got around to trying this.....phone is recognized by computer but Odin does not see it? Now what?

Leave odin for now, it seems you have at&t phone, so you should try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749021
should be easier.

Hello,
I do need some help now. I believe i've followed all directions, but am not having success.
Again, my device is a Samsung N8000 Note 10.1. Purchased from Eplus Germany
I have read the directions in how to use Odin, and have followed them precisely.
Drivers installed.
Original Firmware downloaded (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar). But, in the compresesed file that I downloaded there was also another file (SS_DL.dll). Anyone know what this means?
I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.
began Odin, then put the tablet into download mode, then connected it to my computer. There was a sound from my computer recognizing the tablet.
I then added the file firmware file (N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar) into Odin under the AP tab. I checked that the re-partiton box was not checked, then klicked onto Start. But Odin failed after about 3 seconds.
Can anyone please help me here?
thanks.

Use tar file only .
<I copied both files into the directory of Odin v3.12.13.>Never heard of that before .
At a guess Odin cannot find the file or its not connected ID Box in odin shows as connected

Hello, sorry but i need some more help here please.
I've downloaded what i believe is the stock firmware for my device from updato.com: GT-N8000_EPL_1_20150303173500_n47626s3xd
This is a zipped package with two file in it:
N8000XXUDNL1_N8000EPLDNL2_N8000XXUDNH1_Home.tar.md5
and
SS_DL.dll
I've put both of these files into the directory where ODIN is. I have downloaded and tried serveral ODIN versions: v1.85, v3.10.6, v3.12.7, v3.12.3, v3.07
None of them work. After loading the tar file, ODIN begins, then after about 3 seconds stops and show the message "fail".
Attached is a screen shot of ODIN once i've loaded the tar file, and one that shows after the fail.
I've also added a picture of my note 10.1 N8000 while in download mode.
Anyone can help me here?
thanks.

Download file .
Unzip file .
Put file on desktop .
Open Odin
Locate tar file only and add to PDA or AP
firmware that you are trying to install is a downgrade and the secure bootloader (sboot) is blocking it.

Hello, and thanks.
What you have described above is exactly what i am doing. Are you saying that the reason it does not work is because the bootloader is blocking it? If so, how do i get around this?
I would really like to "upgrade", rather than downgrade. But at the moment i cannot find any other firmwares for my device. A few years ago I saw several ones, but not anymore.
Do you have a suggestion of which firmware I should install, and where i can get this?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
