Try to reflash firmware using odin.
Maybe i do reflashing wrong.
I do
1) Going in to download mode
2) opening odin v 182
3) selecting pda xxkpq.tar.md5
4) unchecking repartition
5) start
then everything works and it says passed
but when it restarts it stucks in the startup samsung doing and doing the same startup screen with intervals

In the android development section of i9003..
Bro first download XXKPE from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
Then follow the guide to flash XXKPE here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
Then follow the guide to flash XXKPQ again from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
just enter into download mode.then flash xxkpe (all options wid repartition checked)just allow it to be booted till the homescreen and then again go into diwnload mode and flash xxkpq(repartition unchecked)
I installed utterchaos v9 1009 and it worked. But it started with factory default settings. But the problem is everytime the phone turns on it starts with factory default settings. every time asks me to choose locale, languages and e.t.c.
I will try flashing to xxkpe
Are you sure that the Factory Settings issue wasn't caused by you flashing XXKPE first then XXKPQ?
Try reflashing again.

@rsehad127
You will only get the select locale etc just once....
Do not factory reset everytime.
I know the problem here. You flashed from UC kernel , and you must have a partition that was converted to EXT4. you then flashed stock kernel but of course your phone will not boot after that, because stock kernel does not support EXT4 format. after you flashed stock kernel you should go into recovery menu and wipe/factory reset, so the partition will go back to default format, and you can still retain stock kernel.
Delete this message I dont know how I didnt read above that you already got your solution

Correct me if im wrong , but as far as i know every time you flash stock firmware through odin your partition is automatically converted to rfs format

While flashing with odin (stock rom) , it was stuck in the middle ..Waited for longtime no progress so took off and retried flashing nothing happened..
If i go to cwd mode(volume+up) it says me "encountered problem while updating firmwire, use kies to do recovery"
Now what can be done?...Please help...Is it totally bricked ?,any other options can i try./?
just boot in download mode (VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER) and flash FW again it will be resolved just with that.

Flash stock ROM again using ODIN by going to Download mode as said by xlm13x ...
Download the china stock ROM, it has all the three files the pda, modem and the csc. It also has the pit file. Flash on ODIN.
Once you do this your phone will definately boot up. Once this is done you can flash any country stock rom through ODIN.
It also happened to me once and the thing i just mentioned worked for me. So 100% sure on this.

The kernel version you quoted contains 'XWKI5' which is the code for Indian stock firmware.
For using Neo ROM you'll have to flash the XWLA (European stock firmware) on your Galaxy R & then flash the Neo ROM 3.0. And yes you can flash the stock firmware of any region it'll be compatible & won't create issues as long as you're flashing stock ROMs by Samsung for Galaxy R.
Do update here on how it goes.
Hope this helps

Yes you can reflash our Indian stock 2.3 5 ROM anytime you want, reset your custom firmware counter & claim warranty for your handset, be careful while doing the same cause if you screw up / miss some steps then you could loose your warranty.

Kernel v 1.8.3 is compatible with XWLA4 / XWKI5 (There could be some bugs with XWKI5 but there's no harm in trying as long as you follow the steps) can also be used with Neo ROM.
Try the newer version of his kernel here, it has been improved a lot since then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787454
Before you start flashing any ROMs & kernels I would suggest you to read all the threads stickied in the Dev section, FAQ's & How To's in my signature below, if you haven't already done it & don't forget to take a nandroid backup.
It is to understand the various steps you need tu know to go about flashing kernels, ROMs, etc & also how to clear the counter to claim warranty.

Yes for Neo ROM, u have to flash Stock rom of XWLA4 via odin.It will not affect anything but u need to wipe data after flashing. So take a backup of all ur data and then flash it. Apart, it wont affect anything buddy. Yes u can revert back to Indian stock rom at any point of time.
And with kernel, Neo ROM by default has ardatdat kernel 1.8.1 and so u will get that kernel when u flash Neo ROM. After that u can flash ardatdat's kernel 1.8.3 as it has RAM hack and its better than its prev versions. Yes u can upgrade, better to say u can change the kernel at any point of time. Have a Happy Flashing.

Till now i was using XWKI5 stock rom...I had made backup of the stock rom only , and tried to restore (because it got corupt ) , after restore it was stuck at the samsung logo...Anyways everythin is gone , iam just plannin to flash neo rom
To start, I am a lower-than-a-beginner when it comes to this.
I was given a Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 that doesn't seem to function well and force closes all the time. I did a little reading and took a little action.
Here's what I have done so far:
- I tried to reset the phone to factory settings through the phone but to no avail. All apps, files and everything remained.
- I tried to reset the phone through recovery mode and wiped cache and data but got the same result.
- So I thought of rooting it and flashing a custom ROM.
- I flashed a stock ROM (not sure) I found which is a DDKP3 through Odin which went through OK but the phone is still malfunctioning.
- I rooted the phone through a rooting package I found for the DDKP3 through Odin which, again, went through OK.
- The apps are still force closing.
- I found a custom ROM which is a Paranoid Android JB ported for the Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 (not sure if it will work).
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918789
- Saved the ROM and the gapps zip file to the sdcard.
- Went to recovery mode.
- I am getting a message saying "E:/can't mount sdcard" when I tried to install from zip file.
- I was able to verify that the sdcard is working since I am able to read/write on it through the phone or PC.
Questions:
1. Am I doing the right thing?
2. What am I doing wrong?
3. How should I proceed?
4. Is it possible for me to flash the ROM through Odin since it is a zip file?
5. Do I even have the right ROM?
I am afraid that I might brick the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am in the process of downloading the DDLF2 ROM.
But as of this moment I already have the phone rooted through SuperOneClick. Is it okay if I flash the ported ParanoidAndroid ROM along with the gapps zip file since the phone is still not working normally after flashing a stock ROM?
And thank you very much for the advise.
i'm stuck in an endless bootloop after trying to upgrade the CM10 Beta 4 version on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
This is what i did
I'd upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 some months ago. Then flashed CM10 Beta 4 by ivendor.
For this i first downloaded the CWM -> recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5 and flashed it using Odin.
Then the ROM file -> cm-10-20130324-ivendor-beta4-ariesve.zip
Was checking the updates on this and found much advances in the 2.5 release of 2 May 2013.
So downloaded the CWM -> CWMRecovery-6.0.2.8-ariesve-kernel26.tar.md5. When i tried to flash using Odin it gave me the MD5 error.
Saw somewhere on the forum to flash using zip file, so downloaded CWMRecovery-6.0.2.8-ariesve-kernel26.zip and tried to flash. This was when my phone got soft-bricked.
Removed the cable, battery etc. After some time, was able to go into Download mode but not Recovery.
Then i tried to flash to stock ROM (2.3.6) - I9001XXKQI_I9001XXKPM_I9001OXFKQ3_HOME.tar.md5. This completed and Odin said PASS. But the phone now goes into a bootloop. Tried the Recovery mode but after the Android-out-of-the-box symbol it again said SAMSUNG and started the boot. This is repeating continuously. What should i do now? Please help.
This is the sequence of things...
1) 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 - Success !!
2) Flash with CM10-Beta 4.a) recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5 - OK
b) cm-10-20130324-ivendor-beta4-ariesve.zip - Success!!!
c) gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip - Success!!3) Flash with CM10-Release 2.5a) CWMRecovery-6.0.2.8-ariesve-kernel26.tar.md5 - MD5 checksum error !!

AFAIK, CM10 would have already consisted of the latest CWM, so there is no need of u to flash a CWM again over it!
Ur biggest mistake, u MUST have had a nandroid backup before doing anything to ur phone! This might have been even recommended by the thread of the CM10.
So my last suggestion from the things that u have done, flash the CWM through odin if possible right now and if successful get into recovery mode and wipe data & cache and check whether the bootloop is gone.
Else try reflashing the stock firmware.
If that doesn't even help, get help from the devs related to ur device through PM.
If hopeless still, then hit a samsung service center near u
Hit thanks rather than typing it
Will try this

A million thanks!! It somehow started now into the 2.3.6.
Flashing the recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.tar.md5 did not solve the bootloop. Then i flashed the Boot_loader.tar. That too did not solve the bootloop. Tried Recovery mode again but the SAMSUNG logo kept coming and going until i released my fingers after a full two minutes. Then before the android-out-of-the-box icon came it went straightaway into Recovery .
Wiped Data and Cache and rebooted. After a very very long time it started and asked if im okay with the Google data collection policy asked in Polish language.
Wow, going to update to 4.1.2 Release 2.5 in some time.
Thanks again man. :good:
Got CM10 Beta 4 again !

Else try reflashing the stock firmware.
If that doesn't even help, get help from the devs related to ur device through PM.
If hopeless still, then hit a samsung service center near u

Also pasting here an easter egg that i saw after loading Gingerbread 2.3.6 before this CM10.
Putting this because i tried this for the first time in GB (the seven times click on android version)
EFS Backup Restore tool for N900
-When you select backup - It will backup and make efs.img file onMyEFS_mm_dd-yyyy-hr-mm_Device IMEI folder on Int SD card, also it will create text file just to stamp time,date and device model while you created backup. Now move both file to safer place.
-When you needs to restore, put efs.img file (your backup) on root directory of Int SD card, run application and select to Restore. Once restore done, Reboot device.
Note : This application is not for just playing around, DON'T restore just to check/test application, Restore option must be used only when you really needs it.

I needs to call again because we have seen now a days that some kernel causing change in EFS and you losing IMEI if you flash older ROM.
I have already explained this in details. Again explaining shortly
- Right now we have found a new base NE1 which used by VN ROM V14 and Stock ROM NF3 (and may be all ROM base now onwards)having kernel that causing some modification in your EFS folder. A modem which is built in with ROM is compatible to read this change and you won't have any issue till you are using ROM.
-In case you downgrade any other ROM then modem of that ROM won't able to read EFS modification and ultimately can't IMEi and you won't have readable IMEI and you won't able to connect to network.
-If samsung implement such changes then all upcoming ROM all will have scenario.
-Now suppose if you have Installed sucj new base and you want to flash other ROM, you have two options
1.Flash any other ROM and after this flash new modem (which is able to read EFS modification) - Remember you have to do with everytime you flash ROM
2.If you have EFS backup which you have made prior to flashing new base, then first flash any desired ROM and then restore EFS backup (which you have made prior to VN ROM V14) - This will remove EFS modification
After this again you are free to flash any ROM - you needs to do it once only
Above said tool have Backup as well restore option. Restore option needs efs.img format. So if you have made backup with any other tool and format is different from efs.img this tool can't restore it.
last one
one for me , for something big coming
Not a big/New but I think we needs this call. As I have seen many user still have not made EFS backup OR Made backup which is difficult to restore.
Hope this can be saviour.
Thanks dr.Ketan,this is really helpful but a little late for me
Btw, I did reinstalled K9 without removing any of the bloats and Kids mode is not FCying anymore neither the Recorder

2 Question D.R
1. using your aroma install in the K1 - 9 Roms i made an EFS backup where is it stored ?
2. if no such backup is found and alas i found my self on VN-V14 how hopeful can i be in regards of breaking our of this NE1 anchor i unknowingly put on my phone
Check Int SD for MyEFS folder. If created on my rom it should be there. MyEFS /efs.img and also build.prop file will be there, which show you when you made it.

Hi Doc
do we have to backup every time we install a new rom , or one solid backup from a good rom is enough ?
Not with every rom.
But if Samsung mess up something then pre and post mess.

VN14.1 XXUDNE3 modem
If you are using this ROM;
Get started backup ROM legend vn14.1
install a new ROM (modem should be different)
Reinstall the backup legend
Enter recovery
Perform the wipe
re-install the same ROM
Before you install the ROM again I unfortunately did not improve collectively. I'd never use anymore xxudne3 modem.
edit: i am sorry bad english. google translate
THANK'S Dr.Ketan . you are the big man
Unknown Baseband
Hi there. I did not backup my EFS file since I started rooting and loading a custom rom. I so much would like to load an official rom again but the moment I flash it via odin, i get no signal, unknown baseband and IMEI is blank or Null. I think I am locked to NE3 or NE1 baseband using V14. Please help.

If you don't have made EFS backup prior to flashing VN14, you have only way is to flash NE1 baseband (that comes with VN14) every time you flash other ROM.

Thanks for your reply. Can I flash official firmware and then flash NE1 modem separately via ODIN or CWM?

yeah sure you can use it on stock ROM. Even you don't needs to use odin/CWM if you use this tool (just needs root)

ok, so I can flash N900XXUDNC1_N900OJVDNA3_XFA via odin which I wont have IMEI or Baseband. Then flash NE1 or NE3. Where can I get any of these modems and which one is best to use with official firmware?
Right now you don't have choice, have to use just one that comes with vn 14
