Do not update JHC with Odin.
If you do, you will never again get straight updates from Kies..
Also current rom will not start properly if updated with Odin (unless "modified").
Working on it.

oh i see, thanks

@Richthofen .. It is safe to do it with Kies ? Do you know the status of JPC ..Is it a near finished Froyo release , or also just antoher early testrelease ?

Seems to me to be a more stable (however still a beta) firmware. JIT isn't enabled (when it is we'll see real speed boosts).

It seems the samfirmware website is still not working, anybody else get this to work?

did anyone test flashing that with odin yet?

Well I've just looked at and I can't see how this can work with odin... the only file in the archive is an add_jpc.tar, and then when that is opened in winrar, it contains 5 files:-
cache.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
modem.bin
param.lfs
zImage
ETA: OK I can open the cache.rfs and factoryfs.rfs files in 7zip but still they dont contain the files needed AFAICT.

If its anything like older versions you put add_jpc.tar as the PDA file.
EDIT: Like that

I have just flashed my i9k via Odin. Just put out SIM, go to dwnld mode, connect to Odin, stock in 512.pit and file add_jpc, which is possible to download few sites later and flash. Everything seem to work fine till now for me
PS: I have 2.2, when i looked in settings and its pretty fast

That's a pretty standard layout, all the files are just rolled into one huge tar file. Someone says flashing that tar with 512 pit worked for them

don't understand? If it doesn't work, all you need is to flash back older /workable firmware.

That's good to know, although I'm going to wait for Richthofen to come back. Btw, the file is already available > http://www.multiupload.com/GEA547U9PT I have the JPD version as well from the FUD server and it's the same.

Okay, tried to update via odin - fail. It seems that firmware flashes, but during boot cant mount DBDATA

Bell/Virgin GT-S5660M "No Service" When Using Custom Roms/Firmware.

hello everyone,
Must say without alot of your great posts and walkthroughs i wouldn't of even considered the wicked things my little Gio can do. But i have seem to always have 1 problems when flashing my cell.
I get a "No Service" after 6 hours and can never get it to pick up my Virgin Sim card. I have tried GioPro 1.2 to 1.6, CyanogenMod 7 and 9 and even some Europe firmwares that are supposedly work with it.
So i am assuming that alot of these firmswares/roms don't work with Canada services or phones/areas or is this a common glitch in custom roms. Any help or direction on fixing a issue like this would be more then amazing right about now.
thank you all for your time
Vaughn

after flashing gioprio, it also flashed your baseband. flash a stock rom based for the m model, or flash a baseband only, wich is for the M mode, and you're fine

i have never thought of that, thank you so much. I will report back with my results!

ok this is where you guys start to hate me, tried figure out where to locate a stock baseband and i got a one package for giopro 1.0 (GioPro_v1.6.tar) and my stock firmware for bell/virgin phone (GT-S5660M_BMC_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3.tar) and finally my GIO_v1.0.ops.
but where about do i locate a stock baseband for the 5660m or am i replacing one files from the stock firmware (GT-S5660M_BMC_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3.tar) to the GioPro custom (GioPro_v1.6.tar),
i hate to be that guy but i been battling this for a few weeks.

Can you flash a ROM to get European 3G frequencies with a Canadian phone?

I could compile a .tar.md5 of the S5660MUGKG3 Baseband only if you want?
(Flash it through Odin)
Because I have a GT-S5660M model also, so I always keep a backup of Stock Rom in my PC.

SUCESS! for now that is.
I was able to create a AMSS only .tar for flashing using Cygwin Terminal and this command
cd /cygdrive/c/baseband
tar -xvf S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3_home.tar amss
tar -H ustar -c amss > S5660M AMSS.tar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then was able to flash just the one package, seems to have left the other parts of the GioPro Rom installed.

Can this method be used to enable European 3G frequencies on the Gio?

Was having the same issues as OP - then realized I incorrectly flashed to 2.3.6 (for the 5660), now I'm trying to get back to stock 5660M 2.3.4 after downloading the S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3 hotfile from droidangel - problem being it isn't a one file md5/tar... the rar contains like 9 files, image files and rfs. I've attached the rar contents.
View attachment 1132111
How do I use these files?? If it's not possible, does anyone have a lead on a one file for the stock 5660M 2.3.4 from Canada?
fyi, unrooted, unlocked
Thanks in advance

sob.... thought I had figured it out, went to samfirmware, got excited - their file was a different size from the droidangel...unfortunately same garbage, same list of image & rfs files instead of a single md5/tar

what a jackass I am
I'm only posting this because I have a low level of shame and I noticed a few others while googling who were having the same problem as me..hopefully this helps them
the solution and why i'm a jackass = i was unraring the tar file..hence the contents (image, rfs etc) which were not useable by odin
i was selecting the wrong file... trying to use odin to select one of the files inside the tar... after uncompressing the tar....
brutal... anyway, hopefully this helps others

Help!
Okay guys, Heres my problem... And I need guidelines because im new to all this. I installed the fake ics on my phone and because it started to limit what I could do on my phone I decided to go back to android 2.2. I used odin to go back but I think i selected the wrong Rom for my network and where I live. I live in Canada and I use Virgin mobile as my network. Now that I got Android 2.2 back I never get any network! How do I flash a new Baseband Version? and Where do I get the Baseband version for Bell/Virgin? Also If you could give me the download for The Official Android 2.2 rom and not a custom one.. it would be nice =)

It's going to be 2.3 (Gingerbread) and not 2.2 (Froyo) that you'll want to install.
There have been multiple posts and you should just have used the search function, then asked whatever questions you might have had left.
Get the MUGK3 stock ROM from here or samfirmware, flash it with Odin.
Again, simple, beginner stuff for which there are multiple tutorials. The search function is your friend.

Yeah it's that --> MUGKG3
If you are on EXT4, don't use it with ODIN. It'll bootloop your phone.
It's fine if you're on a RFS filesystem

Lol Im new to android, Whats ext4 and RFS? And What else instead of odin can do it with? also I have the GT-S5660, NOT THE GT-S5660M so does it make huge difference?

Sobey, I got your message, but really this is the sort of discussion best kept in the thread. If you got your phone from VMC, it's a 5660M. In fact, a GT-S5660 would not work with Virgin at all.
Peteragent5: He could flash the whole stock MUGKG3 ROM with Odin and reformat /cache and /data with the stock recovery.

But in About Phone it says GT-S5660 but ill trust your word. So I should download the Mugkg3 rom and use odin to get it into my phone? and do empty cache and data? Okay ill try this now and let you know if it works. I need your help with one more thing, Last time i used odin I followed a tutorial for where to put each file in which odin slot such as BOOT, PHONE, PDA, etc etc. Can you tell me which file needs to go in which slot? Or is it one package and I just click open package? Sorry man for asking to many questions but itll really help. Also I cant find the ops file!

You could make the "About Phone" model string say anything by editing the proper file. As I've said before: if your Gio worked with Virgin Mobile Canada at all, it a 5660M. The Europe/Asia 5660 doesn't have the proper HSPA bands.
Look up the differences between the different Gio models. Now. Use the search function.
There's also one or two tutorial threads here with both Odin 4.42 and the GIO_v1.0.ops file linked.
The stock rooted ROM I uploaded a while ago, as well as the OEM one from samfirmware.com are usually the "one package" kind. If you're unsure, open the tar (or tar.md5) file with a proper archiving program (7-Zip works well and is free open-source) and have a look. There should be many files, including but not limited to: amss, arm11boot, mibib, oemsbl, qcsbl, boot.img, recovery.img and system.rfs.
Quick recap:
Flash the MUGK3 ROM with Odin.
If the phone bootloops, got in the stock recovery and do a factory reset, in other words, reformat the partitions.
Done!

[Q] Ace 2 Flashable?

Hey guys,
i am new to this forum, having changed to ace 2 from my old lg p500 optimus one. and i was wondering if i can flash pre rooted firmware with odin on my phone, which is bought in singapore. i read from the Flashing Guide by kyrillos13 here that
kyrillos13 said:
If you have OXX csc in your firmware (most of central-eastern Europe does; you can check by typing *#1234# and looking at the CSC - I8160OXXxxx), feel free to flash it on top with Odin, it will not wipe your data.

well, my phone has OLB csc, baseband is XMA1. so can my i flash my phone with odin and prerooted stock firmware without wiping data or anything? help will be appreciated.
if i left out any info please tell.

Um well, thanks for the reply, but i might have considered that particular method if i wasnt schooling right now. Besides, i dont fancy installing a linux distro on my laptop anytime soon. So.. Any other less time consuming or simpler ways to go about it?

Hey, I am not 100% sure but I think that it would change your CSC, meaning you would no longer have Samsung Kies support. I think that is about it, BUT I may be wrong. Perhaps if you post in kyrillos13's guide, he might be able to help, or at least give his opinion! Good luck!

First, if you are rooted now, grab your CSC files. If you have Cygwin this would have been easier..
Then you can flash prerooted firmware using Odin. (Just download the ones on the thread, its lost in the pages)
Then, after flashing, if you want to flash a deodexed ROM, place the CSc files inside the ROM's zip. And you won't lose your CSC.

But im not rooted yet.... ;(

T989UVMC6_T989TMB_T989UVMC6_HOME.tar firmware in PDA right? and add them both together with only f.reset timer and re-partition ticked right?? and flash it? right?

ok i tired it but it didn't helped it still says FAIL! i have odin v1.85 and i checked onlt f reset timer and re-partition and placed the pit file in the pit section and ROM in pda section! am i doing something wrong?!

Try using Heimdall. Use this pit file ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53455783) with the 4.0.4 stock ROM from samfirmware.com and flash it using Heimdall with repartition checked. This is what worked for me when nothing else did. I was using Linux, but there is Heimdall for windows. Make sure you install Heimdall and Heimdall frontend as the frontend makes it a lot easier. Run the frontend for the above steps.

There are good videos on YouTube, but basically decompress the tar file to get more files. All the file names match the names in Heimdall except modem which I believe is amss.bin.

I don't have a link for the drivers (I use Linux, so there is no need for drivers,) but a Google search should lead you in the correct direction. Also, make sure you run Heimdall as admin, or the device might not be recognized. To get the individual files, decompress the tar.md5 or .tar file.
You do not want to use "Load Package." Go to the flash tab. First try it without repartition checked. Use 4.0.4 from samfirmware.com with this pit file. I have an image below explaining everything hopefully.
I just saw the Windows 8.1 part. Windows 8 can sometimes cause problems with Odin, but it is worth trying Heimdall. If you have a Linux machine and Windows doesn't work, I would try that.

Pit file for SM-T525 needed. Fail (size) in Odin. Need to repartition.

SOLVED
Hi!
I'm new here. I managed to flash a twrp recovery that didn't play well with my tablet. I tried to flash the stock ROM with Odin, but the operation failed do to fail (size), which I have read is due to need to repartition. DO any of you know how to get hold of the PIT-file for SM-T525? It is not easy to find on the internet.
Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Found pit file! Now its just not booting properly.
Hi again. Found a working pit file after much ado. Managed to flash the stock rom with the partition table with a couple of % left on the battery. It is still not booting properly, but at least firmware and recovery is back in working order and the boot loop is gone.

If you download a multiple Firmware from Sammy, the PIT file is included in the CSC image.
So you can extracted from there.

Can you please explain this a bit more in detail? Want to flash Stock-FW via ODIN, but get fail because of size of hidden.img.ext4.
From what I read until now - guess I need to flash it with a PIT. But where to get the PID file ?
What do you mean with multiparty FW. I just know source sammobile, where I can download different versions ....

Where did you get it from? I need this too.

@starbright_
Here are the link for the Download tool. Fast download from Sammy Servers.
If you check binary nature, you will download a multiple FW with Modem, CSC , Phone and Bootloader file.
Now unzip the CSC .image and you have got the PIT file for this Rom and your Tab.
@starbright_
I forget to add the link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Had this tool already, but the hint "binary" was important.
Nevertheless - it still doesn't work. It tried this Odin methods (see below), both fail. No idea what is the problem !?!?
After booting into download I get this message at screen: Is this normal?
Current binary Custom
Current status: Custom
Knox: 0
Warranty: 1
Qualcom Secure Boot: enable
AP SWREV: S1 T1 R1 A1 P1

UDC Start

I'd try the second method (4 files) again, but:
- No pit is necessary (it's in the CSC and Odin will apply it automatically).
- Uncheck "repartition" and "f. reset time" before flashing.

I can't believe - it passes.
What the f... !! I can't see why this works and others not. Anyhow - thank you so much.

I think you was trying to apply a wrong pit.
That "50M_HIDDEN" in the filename stands for something, I guess

Mh, but this is the Pit I could grab out of the binary download. So it has been a part of the image.

Out of that very "binary download" you was trying to flash?
Strange...
It looks like you was trying to flash "EUR" image and the separate pit-file was from "DBT" (German) image.
Isn't that right?
