Hey guys,
I was searching the xda pages for a stock odin firmware for my beloved i9000, I didnt find any so I thought that it would be good that i would post the firmware found at sammobile's website and include vodoo odin kernel to get it rooted
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE THAT YOU DO TO YOURE PHONE IF YOU DONT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCKTIONS TO THE TEE!!!!!
And this is for the whole europe!!!!!! Don't know about other parts of the world......
Instructions:
1. Get odin 1.82 or any odin version. Link for odin and the rom are in the next post
2. Unzip the file provided and extract it to somewere where you can find it later.
2. Open up odin with administrator.
3. Switch your phone off and put it into download mode. (the combo is volume down+home+power)
4. Connect your phone to your computer. Odin should reconize your phone and a yellow box will appear.
This is the most important part:
5. In odin, these are the choises you will have to put in:
Pit: s1_odin_20100512.pit
Pda: CODE_I9000XXJVT_CL617736_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone: MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5
Csc: GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5
things tickked: repartition, auto reboot, f-reset time. It should tick these automaticly, if it doesent, tick them!!
6. Now click start. It will take a while, so grab something to eat and watch it do its work. When your phone will start the bootanimation and odin says passed, you can disconnect your phone and close odin.
7. Now when your phone has booted up, switch it off and put it back to download mode. (volume down+home+power)
8. Now we will install voodoo kernel. Start up odin with administrator. Connect your phone and in odin there will pop up a yellow box.
9. Put voodoo-kernel-XXJVT-v1.2.tar.md5 in to pda slot in odin.
10. Click start.
11. When your phone is booting up, you can hear a lady talking. This is voodoo. You can disconnect your phone now.
And when your phone has booted up, you have a rooted stock samsung rom.

Hi mate.
Can you please remove the second part of this sentence in your OP?
Odin v1.83 was the last compatible version with the i9000, v1.82 works as good, but majority of the newer versions will freeze or not work at all with the i9000.
Wtf re-partition

RE-PARTITION IS A GREAT WAY TO KILL A PHONE FOR ANY NOOBS/NEWBS i KNOW I DID A YEAR AGO.
Why on earth would you call this a noob friendly tutorial. Every other tutorial I've read since bricking my first try with ODIN where I DID follow the instruction and DID put all the right parts in the right boxes and ODIN failed and I still have that bricked board to this day.
Re-partitioning with ODIN is a bad idea for anyone that does not own a RIFF box to fix the brick or is willing to send their device away to have someone do it for them. It's a mean thing to do if you know what your doing. Noobs maybe noobs and not newbs but getting giggles out of messing their devices up just to show them how smart you are and how dumb they are isn't cool. You yourself wasn't born with all the knowledge and had people thrown stuff like this at you where bricking your device is a very good possibility.
I've been learning this trade (albeit not too much lately making a living has been more important among other things) for about two years now and I have tried re-partitioning 3 times I think on devices I didn't care about due to them not being worth the investment to repair the broken this or that and all 3 have ended up bricks.
Anyway, c'mon don't discourage people from trying to learn this stuff by throwing tricky tutorials that fail most of the time unless the noob or newb manages to get lucky and it works. And just tell people to get lost instead of kicking them in the nuts if you don't want them around.

Flashing the PIT file together with stock firmware (so re-partition checked then) is the best way to unbrick the i9000, very important for unbricking from all custom ROMs higher than 4.3
He has mentioned in the OP the PIT file, so people who read too fast or just briefly carry their own fault by not following the guide.
To check the re-partition without having chosen the PIT file will brick the device, of course.
You can send your phone to the service, they will unbrick it....
@machv5 I've gone back to GB from JB or KK countless times, which requires repartitioning, it's not possible to do without repartitioning, and I've never ended up bricking my phone once.
So if you've managed to brick 3 devices when doing this then you obviously haven't been learning this trade very well now, have you lol

Can someone please help? I bricked my phone trying too flash the modem and I keep trying too recover using Odin. I put the tar file in the pda part and the pit file in the pit section. I got both these files from the how to recover brick thread. But when I click start, it gets stuck on the param.lfs part. And the words PARAM go into the white box above the progess bar. Can someone please help? Im scared its bricked for good.
EDIT: I was able too get passed param.lfs but it keeps freezing in different spots, it never completly finishes. Odin is soo unreliable :/ At one point it got too 50% but my phones screen turned pink and it froze. Is there any other program I can use? Or a more stable/reliable version of odin? I have version 1.0 and i've tried 1.3 and no luck too

I had a similar problem awhile ago with a 2.1 flash. It worked out fine. As long as you can get into download mode you should be ok. You don't have a brick.
Just follow the instructions on the flashing back to stock link that is in whodamans post.
I used the .pit in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032 with the DI18 update in this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138
I did have an issue once where I fixed it by just using the DI18 update and not the pit file(it seemed to find the pit in the update i guess...anyone feel free to correct me on this if i'm worng)
If that doesn't work
3a: Reboot your PC and pull the battery on your phone
3b: Wait for PC to reboot
3c: Open Odin
4c: Put batter back in phone, boot to download mode
5c: Once in download mode connect via USB to the PC
6c: Run it again

I've yet to see a truly bricked Epic. People that use that word should take that as a sign that they shouldn't be flashing.
I had the exact same problem with Odin freezing at "param.lfs". First of all, Odin is hit and miss. A lot depends on the USB cable as well. I ended up having success with Odin once I switched back to the original cable that came with the phone. Also try different USB ports on your PC. Some people have reported problems when using front panel ports. Try ones in the back that are directly on the mobo.

good point about the cable, although most of the time I see recommendations against using the stock one for anything but charging.
I use a BB cable that seems to be thicker than the stock epic one and haven't had any issues.

try again...
unplug the phone, pull the battery, restart the computer, walk away for 5 minutes and take a breather, then come back and try it again. As the above poster said, Odin can be screwy and it can take multiple times to go through sometimes.
Make sure to use a better usb cable if you have it available, or borrow one from a friend.
also, make sure to restart Odin in between attempts

Yea, ok so i kept trying and it none of the tries worked so I just wanted too see if maybe it worked but it wasnt showing that it did. So i click power and it starts too BOOT! it said samsung then went into a black screen, then it went into stock recovery. Can anyone tell me what to do from here? I think there is no rom in my phone and I need a stock samsung one too flash through samsungs recovery. Can anyone help? I apreaticate everyone whos tried too help.
I am using Odin 3 v1.3
I don't use the .PIT file at all.
I put the SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 in PDA and make sure it's checked
I uncheck F.Reset time
Put the phone in download mode and hit start.
I you still are having problems try a different micro usb cable. Samsungs cable sucks.

And I also came in to say this, almost. I don't have too much Epic experience, but yes, people always say ZOMG ITS BRICKED and what they MEAN is it isn't behaving how they expected after a flash and it may require a reflash/recovery. If something is bricked, it is a useless mass of plastic and metal that might have some value sold on Ebay as parts.
...though I'm not discouraging people flashing. Just wish people would stop using 'bricked' as a catch phrase, and instead just tell the story and ask for help.
Sasha if you cant use Odin to restore it, then it's bricked. My advice? Take it back to Sprint and get a new one.

What should I say too the sprint employees? I thought bricking the phone ruins the warranty. Also I am able too get too stock recovery and download mode, but odin doesnt flash any rom fully, it always stops. I tried too just flash pit and that worked. Is there any other program you can use or can you flash the tar from the stock recovery which I can get too?

I had a similar problem...the error screen said something like "firmware installation encountered a problem...". I believe even though that looks like a frozen out screen, you can still use Odin to either flash back to GB or flash the new ICS zip. I am by no means an expert, so do your research. My point is that i, too, thought I was bricked, and there is a way to work around it.

Mine had the same problem after I tried to root it and it failed. It says "firmware installation encountered a problem" on the screen.
Solution that worked for me was:
1) Start the Kies program.
2) Under Tools at the top left go to Firmware Upgrade and Initilization and it will open up a pop up box asking you for the serial number and model number of your phone.
3) Take out the battery and look at serial number of your phone and model number (SGH-T989) and type it in the S/N and Model Name slots.
4) Put the battery back in and press both the up and down volume and insert the micro usb attached to your computer. Your phone will turn on and see that "firmware installation encountered a problem" on your phone again.
5) Now press enter on your computer and Kies will download ICS and reinstall it to your phone. You might see a couple pop ups asking you to install a Samsung program and just click yes to it (I'm using Win 7 64bit).
Good Luck.
if the previous posters solution does not work.. then try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705565
it will give you stock ICS on you T989
there are also great youtube vides by someone called zedomax that will show you step by step how to use odin.. it's very easy actually.
just make sure that in odin the only option that is checked is Auto reboot
the click on PDA find the file in the above link.. then press start
Here guy set for the bashers makes xda look bad but use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 all I need is Odin and stock .tar the ics one is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705565. But just so you know use the search button so I don't get all the BS.

Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 through the Space Time Continuum
Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Thank you both a lot. I am trying your solutions now. I will post back if it worked.

Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

What do you do if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone plugged in the USB? I tried to delete the Samsung Drivers and reinstall but it didn't work. I can get my phone to Odin mode but can not get it to flash.
PLEASE HELP.
Make sure you've installed Samsung usb drivers.
Edit: should have read your entire post *sorry* Make sure there are no other usb related proggies running; they might interfere with your sammie usb drivers..

Recently I tried to root my SIII T-Mobile.
I used the XDA tutorial to root it with Odin and that stuff.
So when it didn't get past the first thing, after 1 hours, I unplugged it because I thought it wasnt connected good.
So now it's saying this:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I haven't got any previous rooting experience, I just followed XDA's tutorial.
Does this mean my phone is bricked?
How can I fix this?
I don't care if my phone will be rooted or not after I fix it, I just want it to work
Please help me.
I know I'm a new member.. but I am very scared.. really scared that my phone is bricked.
Can this be fixed?
Will this work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900345
(second post)
Next time you attempt to root read a little bit more and don't rush. Try to get into download mode if you can odin back to stock

This guide will get your phone back up and running properly, doing anything else will just prolong your problem.
Easy and sure way fix your problem - Here is s step by step guide:
Download the newest pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom: T999_UVDMD5
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
• Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
• Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
• Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
• Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
• Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
• You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
• Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
• Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
• Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
• TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
• If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
• Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
• Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
• You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
• Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
• (It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Good Luck!

Is it normal that it's on NAND Write Start!! for like 15 mins now ?
I googled and the problem was that Kies was running in the BG.
I killed the process and can I safely restart Odin now? I'm scared I'll cause damage closing Odin.
closed kies and its still stuck on nand write start...

Try to be patient. It may take a while, but it should eventually timeout and Fail. Though, if you dont think its going to happen, then you can try to stop everything as you did before. Chances are nothing was actually done, but I cant promise you that. Last time you were able to still get download mode, you will probably still be able to if you have to resort to forcing it to stop.
BTW, uninstall Kies!!!!! There is really not much it is good for.
fixed the nand thing, now its on aboot.mbn

Now that you know the problem cause, if it were me i would reflash again just to be sure nothing was corrupted.

First unplug usb from the phone.
The kies drivers are still loaded unless you reboot the computer so the best thing would
be if you uninstall kies, it's not needed at all then reboot the computer.
After rebooting download the official samsung usb drivers which can be found here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T999RWBTMB#
After downloading the samsung usb drivers install the drivers and reboot the computer, start odin put the rom TAR file into the PDA slot
in Odin and then put the phone in download mode and lastly connect the usb cable from computer to the phone.
Then Re-Read the step by step instructions which was my first post here and follow it exactly to a TEE!
Good luck!

It was taking a lot of time so I tried v1.3 again.
How do I reflash it if it keeps getting stuck?
Can I contact you on Skype or something?

It should not keep getting stuck if you follow the directions I just gave you.
It normally can take Odin between 5-10 minutes to complete.

Just making sure, is your gs3 always a sgh t99 if you buy it from t-mobile?
I'm not sure I first thought I had a i9300 but I just clicked the t-mobile one because I bought it at them.
I'm stuck on Odin mode. I went to recovery mode and tried factory reset and the reboot the phone. It just goes back to Odin mode. I'm a noob at this stuff. PLEASE HELP!!! Any help would be much appreciated.
Pull the battery out, put battery back in and press the power button until the phone turns on?

Dude, not to be rude, but you opened this thread 15min ago.
You're statement implies that you are expecting folks to jump in and solve your problem immediately.
Im not trying to bash, but help you here. Not many people will read your post and think, "now theres a guy I cant wait to help out!"
Its a Snday afternoon, and many are busy with their own lives and families, snd church. Just be polite, ask nicely, and above all, be patient and someone will eventually try to help you out.
Remember, real life comes first.
Now, as for your problem, I dont know why this happened with a factory reset, but you may have inadvertently hit a different option w/o realizing. It happens often.
The only option I see now is to Odin flash the stock or root66 firmware. Downloads and instructions are in my thread. (Link in sig)
Out of curiosity, were you rooted? Custom recovery?

Yeah, it was rooted. I was using Hyperdrive ROM to change my lockscreen to Xperia Z. After that, I rebooted my phone and then I couldn't unlock it for some reason no matter . So I went to recovery and tried to hard reset. And now I'm here. Is there a video you can show me? There is so much information in your thread and I don't know the vocabulary. (I had a friend help me root it). Thanks for trying to help man. I really appreciate it
Instructions:
1) Click link in Doc's signature "[Firmware/OTAs] T999(V) Official, Leaked & Root66 FW & OTA Updates!"
2) Download prerooted stock firmware. In the first post.
3) Find section "How to Flash the Stock Firmware" (Crtl+F in most browsers).
4) Read it.
Not a problem. Im glad to help whenever I can.
I dont have a video on Odin, but I bet if you search YouTube, theres probably one already there. (Ill try to remember to post some screenshots in my thread though, sorry if it was more confusing thsn helpful.
Anyway, Odin is really quite easy to use. Ill post up a link to some better directions in a min or two.

Heres a link to a YouTube video by MobileTechVideos. Its for an older version of Odin, but there isnt going to be much difference (if any) in what you need to do to use it.

Hope that helps you out!
Good Luck!
Lol thanks for helping me but I think Ima just give it to a friend to try to fix it. This is too complicated and I don't wanna mess it up even more. iPhones are much easier haha
Ok, thats your call there. I know it can seem a little intimidating at first. (It was for me and lots of others too).
But it really is a pretty simple process.
Anyway, sorry I didn't have a better solution for you, but good luck with it!
If you want ill try to type up a few step tut when I get back on my computer in a few min.

Odin Instructions
Heres how to flash the firmware in Odin if you change your mind:
1. Download Odin 3.07 (Link in my sig)
2. Download latest firmware (root66).
3. Unzip Odin and the root66 firmware. (Use 7zip) (the firmware should have a .tar.md5 extension)
4. Run Odin (no need to install)
5. Boot the phone into Download mode.
6. Plug into the computer. In one of the top left boxes you should see it say COM: ##. If not, install the USB drivers from my sig and try again.
7. Once detected, click on PDA, then browse to the extracted firmware.
8. Verify ONLY F-Reset Time and Auto Reboot are checked.
9. Click Start
It may take up to 10 minutes, but the phone will automatically reboot and you will see Odin say PASS in the top left box. Unplug your phone and thats it!
Good Luck with whatever you decide to do!

No offense but if you don't know how to root your phone, you really shouldn't even of been flashing roms.
Read instructions carefully and you'll be fine. It seems like a lot but it's really a 3-5min task. Super easy.
