[I5801] Restoring original bootlogo

Some I5801 users have problem with boot logo, here is the way to restore if needed:
WARNING! Flashing the bootloader can be dangerous - I'm not responsible if you brick your phone!
1, Start odin, and put phone to download mode.
2, Download bootfile from attachment *extract from 7z* and select as boot file.
Your ODIN must look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3, After flash you will have the i5801 boot logo, I tested with XXJPB, but I think will work with any other firmwares.
Suggestion: before flashing an i5800 firmware make an UNIX compatible tar without sbl,boot.bin - this will keep your bootscreen.

you are the man it worked thanks again i hope there will be many more helping guys like you.
thanks once again

Wow man, really appreciated.
Thanks it works.............Woopieee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I hate this phone. No cusom ROM

Registered now just to say thanks!
Back the original I5801DDJG6 firmware till a stable version of Froyo comes out for my region.

Confirming that it worked on my JPB..BTW flashing the I5801DDJG6 would otherwise indicate my device as an I5801, right? coz this just fixes the boot screen device name is still I5800, so i am guessing that depends on the pda..??

Hi Szaby59 i have made a german translation of this on the Android-Hilfe.de forum, you find the thread here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/samsung...801-bootlogo-wiederherstellen.html#post834118
i hope this is ok for you ;-)
btw, since flashing a bootloader is potentially dangerous you should add a disclaimer...
edit: oh, should have read to the end... lol

Most of firmwares are flashing the bootloader, I think it's not that dangerous.

Odin is not that reliable you know, if something goes wrong during bootloader flash you have a brick...

You need to do just once then remove the boot/sbl.bin from actual firmware and odin will not flash the bootloader.

i dont eaven have i5801, so i dont have to worry about bootloader flashing at all, i remove them before flashing anyway...

Szaby59 can u repost the screenshot of ODIN..its not visible..

Uploaded as attachment.

Thanx a lot dude...

Need Help before Boot Flashing..
i am using I5801.. Now I5800, JPB, Rooted..
Is ther any need to do factory reset before and after flashing...
and only that single boot.tar file we have to flash, no need of firmware aggregates..?

Not sure y u would need to, the i5801 IS a 5800 and only called 5801 because it was loaded with the crap for Orange

There is absolutely no need for a factory reset at all. Just flash like in the howto, no extra stepparent needed.

work for me in Froyo JPB...thanks a lot

Works perfectly on my Galaxy Froyo JPA..... Thanks...

[Q] Problems with LGP999 Wind

A friend and I were trying to update his Wind LGP999 phone from 2.2 to 2.3. So we followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929 and things were going good until we got to the connection part. The program continues to freeze and close and the phone is stuck on the s/w update please wait while updating screen. Now we've tried hard reset and even tried to reinstall V10G_00 but the program still freezes. I've been doing some research and unless I haven't searched enough I haven't seen any thread or post with someone with the same problem. So any help in this would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Done some more research and found How To Load a Custom ROM by David Cogen from The Unlockr and follower his steps and things seemed to work out pretty well but I still get this screen

You need to use nvflash to install clockwork recovery then you will be able to install whichever rom you want. There are a few threads out there showing how to install the recovery permanently.
Don't worry you aren't bricked

Thanks for the post but I've already used nvflash to install CWR and have tried multiple roms and all have ended in the same way. I know I've been doing it right because I even followed the video from the unlockr to the T but at the end where he reboots I instead get the same screen in my earlier post. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong or maybe using the wrong roms?

Its most likely you are just missing a step somewhere. Try heading to the Hellfire rom help thread and read through there see if your missing something.... Usually this is a cut and dry process I don't see how its not working for you ...

Thanks for thee help I really do appreciate it. And I do believe I found the missing step, some where along the line I thought flashing and rooting where the same so when I flashed CWR I didn't root the phone before I started. And since I'm stuck on that screen does that mean I pretty much screwed?

Not at all. Just use nvflash rom for recovery. It will put completely stock tmo 2.3.3 . On phone, sorry no links. Search for that and it should give you a bootable phone. Then just nvflash cwm recovery and flash rom of choice. Don't forget to wipe data. No root required.

I dunno if mentioned before but when I used the method from these links http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781 once I had gotten to installer update part it had a connection error which brought me to my present situation also now whenever i tried to repeat the process the program freezes and crashes. If it were my phone I'd just forget the whole thing but since it's my friends I'd rather fix this problem if possible.

No white LG logo? Or nothing at all? Which link were you following? If it was the first one, then you may want to try it again, I was in the same situation. Not even backlight worked, but I used the NVflash script again and it booted to T-Mobile official 2.3.3 unrooted. Did you hold the volume buttons the entire time?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy XCover 3 (SM-G388F)

This is the first phone I've purchased without it's own seperate section on XDA. As I'm no developer, I've always simply jumped on XDA, found the appropriate root/custom boot recovery/ROM development threads, but it doesn't seem like there's any info our there for this phone. Google searches only returned spam/malware/fake root methods.
I understand not being a developer, I have no right to expect others to create roms/develop anything for this phone.... but is there a general way to at least attain root access for Android phones?
Thanks for any help you guys can offer

I'm also looking for a way to root my g388f. Also find only a lot of junk when I google for this.
Yesterday I came across this info, annyone who can verrify if this works or not?
http://axeetech.com/2015/05/23/how-...388f-running-android-4-4-kitkat/#.VWL7ltzCQtR
With kind regards!

It seems to me that this will not work ..
Why?

its just a spammy link to a packed SU archive, not the promised files needed for cf autoroot
most probably chainfire method will work, i already asked for it
need some patience here

for me the same, i Need the root for changing the non working sap Profile ....
sap Profile out of the box was the Point why i purchased the phone ...
I already spoke to the Samsung Support, they tell ist the fault of vw ...
but it testet the sap with another android phone (S2) works fine out of the box

Even I am looking for root method for XCover 3. towelroot, Kingo IRoot are not working

Even with a large amount of requests in the cfroot thread, it seems that no one is interested in making any form of auto root for this phone.
Anyone know of a universal, manual method that can root our phones?

I am also looking for root access, or lolipop, I need to write to my SDcard..

Any news? I am trying to root my phone but after extensive googling I can't find it. I tried "everything" but it does not work.

Working root
Hi
I used this guide and it worked for me. Used the Odin method.
The guide for Odin is not that accurate, amoungst other things it tells you to use the "AP" to load the image you downloaded. In my Odin i used the "PDA". Also the setup guide for disabling "Re-partition" and "PIT table" is not correct.
But if you are used to using Odin, you will figure it out. Anyway, it worked for me.
Follow the link at the bottom and download the Super SU, before rooting. This saves you a reboot.

Found a good guide for TWRP install here, gonna give it a go later..
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/samsung-galaxy-xcover-3-root-twrp-recovery-84011/?PageSpeed=noscript
Then it's just a matter of flashing BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip to gain root!

Seems someone got in ahead of me here with the same info
Anyway, when your rooted go get a PRO version of 3C Toolbox.
And take full control of your phone, it's the one must have app in my book!

Yes, it worked for me too. Thank you!

Hi guys... Is someone know where to get network or sim unlock script?.

Root Galaxy X Cover 3
Recently I got my X Cover rooted !!
It costed me sometime, but it works !
I've got a package of 11 MB with all the tools !
Now the phone says it's rooted
How can I post the package here, ive got it on Filedropper, but I cant post urls here......
its fildropper dot com slash samsungxcover3rootpackage

Not working with Lollipop?
Hi guys,
I successfully used the method above to root the phone when it was on Android 4.4.
Now I updated to 5.1.1 and the method doesn't seem to be working anymore.
After I flash TWRP with Odin and (immediatly) try to boot into recovery I get the message: "recovery is not seandroid enforcing", and nothing else happens.
Any ideas? I didn't find anything with google or here on xda and there doesn't seem to be any newer version of TWRP than 2.8.7.0-xcover3ltexx.img.
I'd be grateful for any help!

So if I'll update to lp I'll loose rooting & twrp.. Bad indeed... I'm very tempted to buy this phone after my xcover 2 breaks down but with zero roms I think I'll wait some other time... Thanks for any info!

Hi, I have huge problem with my xcover3, I tried to flash a rom from sammobile, but it was wrong region I suppose, and the odin procedure failed and ended up messing with the bootloader, the device doesn't start at all, no logo no recovery, no download mode, nothing, it only just vibrates when I press any key combination, which means it's not completely dead.
What should I do? I think the only way to fix this is to boot somehow from microSD card, is there any way to do that, or anything else I can do, I even tried the usb jig and same result.

LG G3 D850 is stuck on boot loop Error 570/8130

vI accidently flashed the TWRP recovery image to my kernel and ever since then my g3 been stuck in this awful boot loop that won't even pass the LG logo.
I've been looking to find different ways to successfully unbrick my g3 and I keep running into the LG Flash Tool. I downloaded it but I cant seem use it because I don't have the .KDZ file appropriate for my phone.
if anyone knows of a different method of unbricking my phone please help, or if you know where I can find the .kdz file appropriate for the D850

I'd suggest you follow the actual guide.. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 ... If you follow it you'll see there is two different methods and that the D850 AT&T version is TOT method only and in which you download the zip, extract it and flash it.

You're right. I didnt see that first time but have tried that method prior to moving on to the .kdz one. The reason why i did so was because the LG FLASH TOOL would stop working. Im not sure if its because im on windows 10 or what.

Windows 10 can cause issues. But if you have the D850. Tot is the only way.

i was able to flash via LG flash tool TOT method fine no more then an hour ago running windows 10. Keep in mind like that OP says "it could take up to 45 mins".. although i flashed successfully it did take near that amount of time.. GL

First things first, can you go into download mode or not? If the answer is yes, then you have to tell where exactly does the Flashtool stop? Because the only method with d850 is tot method. Did you connect it on port 41 or not? If yes, have you provided it with proper tot file and dll? If yes, then Does the flashtool stop at ~ 6% where it says it cannot recognize your phone model, or @ ~ 13%, where it says it cannot go into download mode? You have to be more specific in describing your problem. If the answer is no to the first question, then how does windows recognize your phone? Is it connected as Android Device, or QDLoader 9008, or QHSUSB_BULK?
In my view, if you have just messed with the kernel (boot) partition, you should still be able to go to download mode and flash the correct firmware by following the tot procedure detailed by hyelton.

stops at 6%(cant change to download mode)

This is the result of the "anti-rollback" protection feature in the device that prevents earlier (official) versions from being used. You need to find a newer version of the firmware or use the Samsung Kies while it's in the emergency (bootloader) recovery mode.
