Hi, Small help required:crying:
I installed CWM 4 thru Odin without taking a backup or whatsover on my Stock ICS 4.0.4 on the Galaxy R. Everything was fine and i was able to access CWM, but my phone would be stuck at the Galaxy R logo screen. Tried everything from wipe dalvik to cache partition. But the phone wouldnt just recover
Then i flashed into Rootbox Vanilla JB ROM which was unstable and then to Avatar ROM which was fine but the WIFI was not working. Battery drain was huge.
Disappointed and flashed back to Stock ROM thru Odin which has the stock Android recovery. But now Wifi is not working
Baseband :I9103DDLP3 , Kernel : [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 28 14:28 KST 2012 , bUILD # IMM76D
I would love to have a solution from all the guys, infact i would love to have 2
1. How to fix my wifi issue in my present ROM (reflashed 4 times to no use, restarted phone, enabled flight mode and off, factory reset several times)
2. I couldnt find a stable custom ICS ROM if i wanna flash again
Kindly help as my beloved 9103 is lying around with no use. Have to be contented with just a nokia 1100:crying::crying:
Why do you experiment and flash roms blindly if you don't know what you are doing? A small reading before flashing would have given you the procedure to be followed. BTW you still didn't give enough information about the state of your device right now. Which rom did you flash with Odin? Also, NEVER wipe data/cache/factory reset/format/anything similar on ICS. You are still on the ICS kernel. You are very lucky if you haven't bricked your eMMC yet.
@Nikhil or Disturbed™ will give you the procedure to follow.

Hi Adam,
I understand that i was a bit hasty in doing that. I flashed I9103XWLP8 ROM thru Odin finally when nothing worked out. Everything is fine now except the wifi. I am worried to use the eMMC brick bug app to check whether i bricked my eMMC. Would love to use a custom ICS/JB ROB under proper guidance, or advising where to look up

Hope you have taken EFS backup if not then its really very difficult to recover the IMEI Number... Better Go to Service Center and just tell them that you are not able to receive the calls and don't tell all this stories...

Just flash your country's firmware using ODIN & do check your binary counter in Download mode & yellow triangle also.
If all are fine then they willn't even know what happened.

Hello guys!
I got a Samsung GT-I5800 for few months but seems I have a big problem from some days actually.
I was using it when I suddenly lost the network coverage. Reboot, factory recovery, tried other carrier usims however it did not start to work again.
It doesn't work nor with automatic and manual network choice nor with enabled and disabled packed data whereas, if I try to send a message or make a call, an error popup appears saying "Data network not available".
I have never performed a root flash or something else so it is always been original factory.
here some info:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband versions I5800XXJP4
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XWJPI
I'm very glad if someone can help me to solve this awful problem given that the device is unusable
Try to add APN(search in the Internet for it) to your phone(Wireless and Network>Mobile networks>APN)
I already know what it is and it is configured (for my Internet plan)...
the real problem is that it cannot take the network signal anymore...there is a blue symbol like a circle with a line instead of normal signal bars

Check your IMEI by *#06#. If it is all zeros then it is corrupted. If it's old one then it is fine
You can try disabling then enabling flight mode. Wiping data or dalvik cache. Good Luck!
PS: Backup your efs folder to PC using Root exlorer. It contains IMEI and must NOT be deleted. Just for safety advice!

thank you so much for the support
anyway the imei was one of the first checks, it's the correct and old one.
what do you mean with wipe data and dalvik cache? isn't it the same of a factory restore? (factory restored lots of time but nothing happens)
Did you tried zerofill? You can easily find by searching this forum.
Also have you tried putting the SIM in other mobiles? Do they work?
BTW, I know that feel bro. I know the feel to live without calling/sms for few days

of course every SIMs work in other mobiles. It isn't a problem about how I feel and so on. It stopped to work and bye bye no more mobile phone just a paperweight...
I had a search about zerofill. is it useful to delete everything, right? I didn't get how flash it and re-flash the original firmware...by kies?
You'll need ODIN for that to flash the ROM. [Make sure you read instructions]
It will wipe all phone data so take backup from Titanium backup first.

It doesn't matter the phone is empty due to several factory restores in order to try to solve the situation
Ok, thank you guy, I'll try to search some instructions. I'll give a feedback here...hoping it s gonna be positive
p.s. I found a zerofill G3.tar on this forum. Is it good for my galaxy GT-I5800?
Yes, It wipes everything in phone memory. All the previous traces. It might solve your problem.
PS: Or Flash any other firmware. It always works.

last 2 questions
so, zerofill to erase EVERYthing and the I have to download my original ROM to flash it?
the zerofill tar contains 3 files .rfs: cache, datafs and factoryfs. Do i have to flash these by odin? sorry guy but i don't find any tutorial about odin and zerofill
It looks you have never flashed a ROM in ODIN. In that case I would say forget zerofill and just flash a firmware you want. Because you'll need to flash a ROM after flashing zerofill too. I recommend Custom ROM as it is fast and more features, it will void your warranty though. But you can always flash stock ROM to get your warranty back.
If you want to go Stock, then you can find stock ROM at samfirmware.com. Download anyone from there. Post here when you finish downloading. I'll post the instructions.

What does your phone number say in ? Something like 000-000-0017?
This happened to me once I had to revert to a stock ICS rom and put in the reprovision code. There is info around you just have to google it.
I will check that.

Yes. I used the stock image from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204. Then I put in the reprovision code somebody posted in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870972. Make sure you don't take any OTA's before putting in the code. I'm not sure if there is a newer method available to fix this problem but this worked for me. Also be aware reprovisioning will wipe your internal memory completely.

Hi there
My phone needs to be sent to samsung service to be repaired and it is still covered by the warranty
Obviously before send it I have to revert to a stock rom (one samsung original firmware), but this is not so simple.
Scenario:
1) I am on 10.1 A8
2) I am unable to connect my phone to any computer via USB (hardware issue or rom related???)
3) mobile odin not works with CM and MIUI based rom (due their particular file sistem)
4) because of the different file system I cannot simply use the recovery to flash over cm 10.1A8 a not miui or CM rom (i.e. Frankenstain mod) and then use mobile odin to flash a stock firmware
so I am here trying to find a solution and any suggestion will be really appreciated .
thx
cheers!
What are you saying odin not works? Its not true. Follow my guide in this section entitled "General guide for noobies" there's a guide on how to return to stock.

thank you for your kind answer but that's it.
Odin do not detect the USB com port where my phone is connect and even the computer do not recognize my phone. It is not a driver releted issue (I tried on athor computer and always installed latest sansung mobile usb driver and even latest adb driver)... I guess it is hardware related.
So the question is:
Starting from cm10.1 A8
1) can I inject via cwm a stock rom? (I suspect the answer is "NO")
or
2) there is any injectable rom that is compatible with MOBILE odin? (not CM or MIUI based)?
thx
Hmn thats a problem. You just flash stock rom with Mobile Odin. You tried installing KIES? before doing odin?

yes, I guess it is hardware related... yesterday I bought a new S3mini (which I have already rooted and injected CM10.1 by maclaw and it is fully working except for some minor issues) eheh
I am trying to repair my slc (hoping that it is a problem related to minor device and not the whole matherboard)
but also
eheh cheers!
just to share updates of my phone's problem:
During a call (and only during a call and not all the time) my speakers starts rustling and it stops only when I push or knock on the backpanel near the sim and sd card.
After that I can continue my call... but in a short time my phone freezes.
I guess that is the cause of reboots or SODs. In the last past hours I also notice that After a SOD it didn't boot at all with strange stripes on bootlogo. Even this time pushing an knocking on the back help to make my device boot.
So, tired of this situation and unable to restore original fw to send it to sammy service (I am still under warranty), yesterday I decided bought a new phone (S3mini) and trying to rapair by myself my slc.
That's all.
For me this thread (if is not usefull for other users) could be closed.
Thank you all!

Well if you did some more research you would see that it's your kernel causing problems. I won't tell you what kernel to flash because that would be too easy.

Try skyhigh kernel 2.1 and you're laughing. [emoji5] [emoji5]
I'm having that same issue. I rooted using the guide on here, using Oden, TWRP, and the Noble root Kernal. The phone is only rebooting while making phone calls. It usually happens right around 1 minute into the phone call. I have searched on here and tried coming up with something onew google. From what I have read is it something wrong with the kernal? Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction on how to correct this problem, and is all that needs to be done is flash a different kernal? If so what kernel should I use. Sorry for hijacking your thread, just didn't want to make another one asking the same question. Any help is greatly appreciated
It's a kernel issue, guys. Flash a different one and you should be good.
That's kinda what I gathered, just wanted to verrify that was the issue before I went screwing around and messed something up, thanks for the reply though.
What kernel should we try ? I'm on a tmobile note 5
Well I'm running forever Loco rom no mods except for what comes with rom as stated b4 I have went back to stock backup and still the same problem if anyone who posted in the thread would be so kind to tell me which kernel I should try would be gladly appreciated

If you don't know what you're doing then you should do plenty of research... You shouldn't ever "screw around" if you don't know what you're doing. Keep reading and learn how to properly flash everything before you do this stuff or else you'll end up with a fancy paperweight.

You need to flash that file through custom recovery. You have to download it to your phone then boot into your custom recovery to install it. Just follow the directions on aryer97's thread where you downloaded the kernal.
So I modded the hell out of my stock rom and eventually broke it. After failing to flash the stock firmware about 50 times I gave up and put Lineage OS on my phone. Eventually I decided I wanted to try putting the stock back on and somehow screwed up my IMEI crap and don't have a backup. Basically all my phone can do is run stock rom but without any mobile network support or the same thing with Lineage OS. I've spent hours trying to fix it but nothing's worked. I checked just about every guide I've been able to find and none of them work. the issue is either not fixed or there's some kind of an error/change during the process that makes it so I can't continue. I downloaded some combination file that is supposed to help fix the issue but it won't flash via ODIN like the guide says so i can't do that.
I really need this phone up and working again. Anyone got any ideas? As of right now I have a paper weight that I can browse the internet on.
Update: I fixed it by flashing Android 8.0.0 firmware onto my phone instead of 7.0.0. I'm not sure why that fixed it because even lineage OS couldn't get my IMEI number but it's working now.

Quickest way to solve the issue as you've found out is to flash latest stock for device. Bootloader was the source of your problems, once upgraded it cannot be downgraded no matter what. All these bull sh1t guides saying you can just end up with a bricked phone.
Now BACK UP your EFS partition so this doesn't happen again.

How to flash the Rom without making a stupid thing that will brick my phone? i mean how to start all the process from zero?
And another thing i wonder about, what is the IMEI thing that you guys talked about?
