Hello everyone!
I had some stability issues on my Samsung GT-I9003, so I flashed it . And, as the title says it, I'm stuck in a bootloop. I've tried 3 or 4 flashings with different packages. Some where "One packages", with one unique PDA, or I tried the XXKPE with everything. And I'm lost. I never get past the first boot screen.
[EDIT]
I found a way to boot it, but the touchscreen isn't working, so I'm now stuck on the language selection page...
Is it my ROM who doesn't fit?
[/EDIT]
Thanks!
Before going to download mode try wiping everything, then flash xxkpe TWICE then wipe again. Make sure you flash it correctly. And odin shows PASS. Try flashing the latona.pit included in xxkpe.
Press thanks if it helped..

Thanks for the answer!
Problem is it didn't work!
I got a little deeper in the problem. In order to boot to android, I need to flash the bagaria root file. It contains the normalboot image. So I assume that the boot is corrupted. I'd add that after the rooting, the android recovery boots and wipes everything, but he says that the CSC wasn't installed, because "[...]/stl11" is not there. Is it the .pit?
I'm lost, again...
Thanks a lot for your help!

so weird. Where did you download your xxkpe. Try here

then follow the guide here

I think you just fail a step on flashing a rom.
---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------
Flashing bagaria root is done after flashing a stock rom for it to be rooted. You failed to put CSC file in odin maybe. Follow the guide above perfectly then everything will be fine.
You start the procedure on Step 3 if your done downloading XXKPE here

/stl11 is the /cache partition.
look like you fail to flash pit file, or u flash "one package .tar file" with partition ticked in odin.
see below for the samsung recommend setup
flash pit file with all the firmware one short.
if you flash from Froyo to GB, i recommend to flash the bootloader update.
however, flash on you own risk.

Hi, I am facing the same issue with a GT-I9003 as jonasdu91. I tried all the solutions mentioned above, tried all sort of firmwares. The only time the phone responded was when I flashed the bagaria file. That too ended up with a non-responsive touchscreen at the language selection screen.
Could anyone suggest what more could I do to get the phone to upgrade?

How do I flash other stock rom after that? I've tried to flash XXLE4 rom, and received boot error and unmounted FS
Hello everyone, an acquaintance of mine, had initially given his Galaxy SL device to a friend of his, asking him, to 'update' the software on the device. The device had come with Android 2.2.1, pre-installed on it (PDA: I9003DDKB2; PHONE: I9003DDKA5; CSC: I9003ODDKA6).
Apparently, my acquaintance's friend flashed the I9003DDMF1 stock Gingerbread firmware via PC ODIN, and after my acquaintance gave me the device, I noticed, it did not boot to a home screen. It would boot loop at the Samsung boot animation.
The device boots into Download Mode, but does not get into the stock Recovery Mode. So, I attempted numerous remedial procedures. I used PC ODIN3 v1.85 for all flashing instances.
Keeping Misledz's guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787, as a reference, I flashed the I9003XXKPE firmware package, followed by the I9003XXKPQ_I9003SERKPQ_SER firmware.
After PC ODIN gave a PASS for the I9003XXKPE firmware package flashing instance, the device rebooted, and I observed a process, looking like the stock Recovery Mode, continuing on the device. There were a couple of strings, displayed in red colour. The device rebooted again to the Samsung logo, and I had to pull the battery out, to continue with the I9003XXKPQ_I9003SERKPQ_SER firmware flashing instance. After PC ODIN displayed the PASS sign and the device rebooted, I unplugged the USB cable, but the boot loop at Samsung boot animation persisted.
Since the above mentioned procedure did not solve the boot loop issue, I decided to take the device back to a stock Froyo firmware, and if successful, reattempt to 'update' the device to stock Gingerbread (2.3.6), by following Misledz's guide. I flashed the I9003_XXKB1 stock Froyo firmware, but this time, the device would not go beyond the Samsung logo.
As a momentary last attempt, before seeking help here, I flashed the I9003ZCKC1 firmware package, but yet, the device does not go beyond the Samsung logo.
All the flashing instances completed successfully on PC ODIN.
Is it possible to revive the device, such that it boots to a home screen and is functional again? I desperately need help.

xumix, thank you very much for your response.
I believe, the 5 files contained within the I9003XXKPE_Odin3_1.8.5.zip package, would correspond to the options available in PC ODIN3 v1.85, as follows -
PIT > latona_20110114.pit

xumix, I flashed the I9003XXKPE_Odin3_1.8.5.zip firmware package using PC ODIN3 v1.85, but to no avail. The boot loop on the Samsung boot animation continues to persist.
EDIT
I have noticed there is a u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit, contained within the Odin3-v1.85 folder. What is this, PIT file for?
I re-flashed the I9003XXKPE_Odin3_1.8.5.zip firmware package using PC ODIN3 v1.85, and the process completed successfully. But, since the boot loop at the Samsung boot animation persisted, I pulled the battery out, and booted into Recovery Mode, not once, but on two separate instances. I was able to perform a wipe data/factory reset, on the second instance. I also performed a wipe cache partition and rebooted the device. But, the boot loop issue still continues.
I have attached images of both instances, I clicked using another device, to this post.
If dont mind. Try my step below.
In download mode
Flash pit file alone. Make sure repartition is ticked.
Phone will black screen, you pull out battery and put back.
Download mode again. Flash xxkpe without pit file.
BTW, you error show properly is emmc chip broken, hope it is not.

chongns, I followed your stepwise suggestions, to the word, but unfortunately, the boot loop issue still persists. One distinct error under the stock recovery is, E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3. Am I correct to believe this error strongly indicates, or rather confirms, the internal SD is damaged?
Also, what are the possible causes (physical, and or, logical) that would damage the internal SD? Is it worth sending the device to an authorised Samsung service centre, for an appropriate repair process?

If you're like me, you don't like having to pull your battery out to reboot your phone. When having problems with Odin I hate having to pull my battery out to simply reboot it when commands like "adb reboot" have spoiled me.
Here is a blank .tar file (just made in notepad) for Odin. Put it in the PDA slot and make sure Auto Reboot is checked. Click Start and Odin will reboot your Samsung device into Android. No wiping or writing.

great!! thanks a lot!! how can i create a file like this that reboots the device in recovery mode? can you do that?
To flash it in recovery you will first have to boot in recovery... So this means nothing lol... Use quickboot app...

Sorry for the really late response. I too am trying to figure out how to make Odin tell the phone to boot straight into recovery. One method I found does work. Find the CF-Autoroot package for your phone (if it exists), pull the cache.img out, put that cache.img into an odin package (find a tutorial on how to do that elsewhere), then flash and it will boot straight into recovery.
For example. I made a a custom odin package for my Galaxy Note 2 using a TWRP.img and the cache.img from the CF-Autoroot package. Flashed it in Odin and it installed TWRP and booted straight into recovery! This way the recovery-from-boot.p file can be deleted in recovery before it reinstalls the stock recovery.
can you help me, booting with odin on sgs1 to get into recovery mode. very importent

I don't think I can help you out. CF-Root files don't contain the trick to boot straight into recovery. At least this is what I think, I don't have a phone that can use CF-Root to test it on. Picking apart CF-AutoRoot is what helped me. The Galaxy S 1 does not have CF-AutoRoot since that phone is set up differently than newer Samsung devices.
Great idea mate, power button broken in my sgs i9000 and if it turns off i can only access download mode.. So via Odin and your file i managed to power it on fast and simple.. Thx again..
My phone is stuck in recovery mode because the home button is broken, but when I connect my phone to pc, Odin can detect my phone. Can I use Odin to reboot my phone when it's in recovery model instead of download mode? Thank you.
^^ same question?
Can Odin just reboot?

If I understand correctly this is a blank (0 byte) file which does nothing but after flashing is completed because autoreboot is checked the phone will reboot automatically. Genius indeed!

Worked like a charm... just to add ... in newer ODIN instead of PDA you'd see AP. Also in Options remember to uncheck "F. Reset Time" and keep "Auto Reboot" on as mentioned above.
P.S: I didn't check what happens if F. Reset Time is on. Just posted what worked for me.
Note:
This is a exactly a tool for those whose "power button not working" to get out of any of ODIN or recovery modes when required. Usually it is decrease volume button + power/side key button for more than 7 secs to reboot and come out of odin mode.
Thanks XDA.
I am completley stumped. I am trying to help out a friend who messed up his phone trying to install a rom, and I just want to install CWM or TWRP via odin.
When i open any version of odin, and browse to the .tar.md5 files (i have gotten a couple different ones) odin doesnt see any of them. In the bottom right of the "open" window it says it is looking for .tar and .md5 files, but it just doesnt see them...
I feel like i am missing something simple. The phone boots into download mode, (odin mode) and odin recgonizes it, if i could just get a recovery onto it, i could flash a rom for him, but im stumped. Is there a way to flash a rom onto the phone without a custom recovery if it wont boot?
Thank you so much in advance.

Hi there!
I wanted to install a new recovery form this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663834
The phone has a stock ROM and stock recovery. I can easily go to download mode, boot it even after Odin fails to flash.
The thing is when I flash the recovery, Odin gets stuck at "Getting PIT file for mapping" or something like that and aborts flashing. No bars at phone screen while flashing (it's in the downloading mode), just nothing.
I tried flashing on different computer, different usb port/cable, different recovery and the result is still the same. Sometimes I recieve "Cannot open the COM port." error.
What can I do?
Would you flash custom recovery and root your phone?
First of all upgrade Odin version.
Which extension have cwm recovery file?
Uncheck "Re-Partition" box before the flashing.
Yea, i would to flash some ROM and root my phone
Odin 3.12.3
Tried also with older verisons
File ext: .tar.md5
everything is unchecked during the process
Do you use original samsung cable?
Restart the pc and the device. Try again to flash. If fails just put stock pit file in PIT section, tick Re-Partitions and flash it with recovery in PDA section.
Most of this issue fixes are "I solved it by plugging the cord into another port and letting windows rediscover the phone".
I used original samsung cable, didnt work.
Also adb doesnt see the device when its in downloading mode but I think thats normal.
Where can I get the stock PIT file and is it more risky when i use it?
I'll try with another port and will let know
Ive found some thread here with .pit file:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428753
is it the pit file that i should use?

Yes, it is. Choose the right version: i9105P (NFC) - i9105 (no-NFC)
Just before flashing I have a question.
Does the flashing now with .pit file will re-create every partition on the phone causing ALL data to be erased? It would be a problem if after repartitioning odin would be still unable to flash the recovery, wouldn't it?

Pit erases all your partition and removes all datas. Recovery hasn't problem with stock pit file.
Went like a charm without using PIT file (unchecked Re-Partition). It went by using different USB Port and I don't know, maybe the fact that I put the pit file also with the recovery image in the same folder.
Damn, this Odin-issue can be very annoying, I tried like over ten times and nothing and now it just went all straight forward for the first time. Thanks for replying!

The zip you downloaded from sammobile can only be used with Odin. You can't flash that in recovery. Download Odin on your pc and be sure to enable usb debugging in settings. Move the zip from sammobile to your pc and extract the zip. You should have one file that extracts from the zip. Boot your phone into download mode and plug it into your computer, open Odin and you should see a connected device. In the AP slot of Odin open the file from the zip and let it confirm your md5. After it verifies the md5, open options and turn off auto reboot. Turn on bootloader update and F Reset time. Flash the file and once it completes hold the download mode buttons until the screen turns black. Now you MUST BOOT into recovery TWICE. After the two recovery boots it should boot back to stock.
DUH. I am on pain meds, and was not even thinking that all files from Sammobile are for Odin. Thanks very much Metabolic, and thanks for your hard work as well

After it verifies the md5, open options and turn off auto reboot. Turn on bootloader update and F Reset time. Flash the file and once it completes hold the download mode buttons until the screen turns black. Now you MUST BOOT into recovery TWICE. After the two recovery boots it should boot back to stock.
