Hi all,
Thanks to those who have helped along the way. None of this is my work, I am just putting it all in the one place for those who are in a similar situation as me - wanting to do get onto JG5, but not knowing how. Hopefully you can follow along!
This is the first time I've ever done anything to an Android phone, so consider me a noob! Here's all the files I used - multiupload.com/66CNCCTE4W (you will need to copy and paste the link into your address bar as I can't post links yet
Before you start, I did this on my Australian Samsung Galaxy S, so I'm not sure how different your model is!
Before starting, unzip the downloaded file above to your hard drive, and extract it to an easy to find folder - I'd suggest somewhere on your desktop.
1. Open the Odin3_v1.0 folder
2. Run Odin3_v1.0.exe program
3. Select the PIT, PDA, Phone and CSC files by clicking on the button, then locating the file in the I9000XWJG5 folder
a) PIT - s1_odin_20100512.pit
b) PDA - CODE_I9000XWJG5.tar
c) PHONE - MODEM_I9000XXJG1
d) CSC - CSC_I9000OXXJG4.tar
4. Remove the External MicroSD Card and the Sim Card
5. Turn the phone off
6. Get into download mode by pressing volume down + home key + power button
7. Connect the USB Cable from phone to computer
8. Wait for the drivers to be automatically installed.
9. Once drivers are fully installed, click START in Odin.
And that should be it!
P.s. I had to manually select my Network by going into Settings, Wireless and network, Mobile networks, and then selecting the Network (for me it was Optus). You will probably want to select Swype as the default input. To do this, press and hold a text input field, and press input and select Swype.
I hope this helps - please let me know how it goes for you!
*(Edited to include only flashing phone - I originally thought you had to root it first!)
You don't need to do step one and two.
lol,why bother about root ur device when u can straight away flash it like step 3??
Why do we need step one and two before ?
Since we are going to flash new rom and will need to do those again ????
Didnt work
So i tried to flash my SGS last night but it didnt turn out so well.
put all the bits and bobs in (.pit pda phone and modem) and then connected the phone in Download mode, seemed to connect to Odin, ID:COM 0:[COM20], clicked start, it seemed to be working so went to check on dinner and when i came back it didnt seem to be doing much, screen on the phone was blank and odin looked like it was tring to move across factoryfs.rfs, i look in the CODE file and saw that the factoryfs.rfs file was huge so thought id just leave it and wait. but nothing left it for 4-5 hrs then left the comp on all night when i cam back it was in the same spot but said removed and the phone was showing a phone then triangel with a ! inside the computer. so i unpluged it took out the bat and put it back tried turning it on, same thing, turned it off again and put into download mode seems to work but didnt get a chance to play with it at home, at work now and cant do it because it asks for admi privileges to install the drivers, so ill wait till im home again. anyone got ideas of what it might be? should i have connected to port 7?
Really? There ya go. Told you I was a noob! Sorry to confuse people. I have edited the original post so it only shows the flashing part.
#4 is not needed.
BTW: your tutorial is already stickied in the big faq (post 2).
I think alot of noobs will find this very useful. It's easier to follow for those who are flashing for the first time, i'm sure others wil appreciate your effort.

Hey Zac,
Don't worry if the steps are already in post # 2. I find yours better and more direct. More importantly, your phone is also from Australia, same as mine.
Thank you for taking the trouble to post this. I've been helped. I'm a bigger noob I guess
The only problem is that I don't seem to be able to download it. It stops after a few bytes. Know of any alternative links?
Edit: On the other hand, after going through some of the comments on threads related to JG5, all the problems are still there, so I don't see any real advantage over JG3. Will stick to this, since I'm about to get a replacement for my phone soon.
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!
I really want to thank you 4 this!! Damn you're the man!! This fixed my broked SGS immediately!! I can't thank you enough my best friend 4 ever!!
How do i get Superuser in to this?? And can i use Lagfix 2.0 too?? Please answer to me..i'm so so so damn gr8ful about all your hard work! Do i have to root my SGS again and where i can find the latest file update.zip which works with this your version?? I have already update.zip but it's kinda old file though.
Like i said earlier:
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
PS: I gave 5 stars !!
Dude don't stress!
For rooting/superuser read my tutorial!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
After that you can either apply One click lagfix or the CFLagFix 1.80!
I would recommend CFLagFix 1.80!

LauncherPro problems
Hiya!!
U have any idea when i installed this jg5 my launcherpro won't work anymore at all, it just force closes all the time and i can't open my phone at all?? Why this is happening??
How do install this but still use LauncherPro??
( Though it works when i install it but immeadiately when i try ty restart my LauncherPro it starts to force close 24/7)
When i did a factory reset it didn't make it completely, it left something in in phone about this jg5...maybe that's why my LP is not working anymore...
Sorry but i'm a noob so don't judge me, i have a question now, where i can get "Stock 2.1 Eclair"?? I have now FRF91.372 2.2 in my phone it works like ****!! I don't even get LauncherPro work without continious force closes...i want that firmware where LP works without any force closes!!
Please help a noob...please, now i know how to use Odin, cause i have flashed already 3 times. But all the firmwares what i've tried have sucked.
PS: Is there any way i can do a raw clean for my SGS before install new firwmare, i ask cause i want to SGS completely empty before i install new firmware, is this possible?? I heard that if you swype your SGS empty new firmware will work much better...but this is just a rumour though

All the ROMs that are released by Samsung themselves are stock ROMs, e.g. JG5 is a Stock Eclair 2.1 ROM.
Hi all.
Couple things.
1. I'm a noob here and to tweaking anything Android.
2. From all the forums I read you're all a lot smarter than I am.
-------------------
Issue: I bought a Samsung S6 (Sprint SMg920P) in June. Got it wet in July, not a lot but enough for Sprint to send me on my way to deal with it on my own.
I did let it dry out and it's worked fine all the way until about a week ago. I'm not even sure the water is really related to the issue. However, The phone began to boot loop and would not come out.
Recovery mode would only display the initial splash screen then freeze, and has never been accessible.
Download mode IS accessible.
I've downloaded ODIN.
I've tried downloading some files; G920P_SPR_G920PVPU3BOI1-G920PSPT3BOI1_Original, G920PVPU2BOF7_G920PSPT2BOF7_SPR and ran them per some tutorials, but that didn't help.
Again, I'm new and don't know if those files are even right. (ignorance is bliss I suppose - unless you want to accomplish something)
I'm hoping someone can spoon feed me the knowledge here based on your experiences.
What files should I be downloading (links(?)) and do you have any tip/tricks on resolution?
I appreciate any help here as I've had to downgrade to a Moto Photon from 2011 and it's absolutely excruciating to use.
Thanks yall!

Sounds to me like you might have an unfixable problem. Is the water damage noticeable, that Sprint won't touch? If not, take it to another and don't volunteer that information. If they are able to detect water damage and won't touch, you are kind of SOL. Make an insurance claim if you have it or try Samsung.
This is where to get the latest firmware for your device. The download is very slow. Some guys on here have uploaded for a faster DL. Look around or just wait on one of these.
Flash one of these with odin, if it doesn't work, you likely will have to replace.

Thanks todivefor! I'll give that a shot and if unsuccessful follow up with Samsung next. Appreciate the reply.
Faster Download

The two latest TAR files for Odin.
I would use OJ7 as it is newer and if you have taken an update, you would need that one. (You can always use a later TAR, but not revert back to an earlier.)
Use an MD5 checker (like this one for Windows: http://www.winmd5.com/) to make sure that your download is complete. Every file has an MD5, check that it matches what appears on the Android File Host page.
Best of luck.

I flashed TWRP with odin.
After that I was not able to boot or start recovery.
Only download mode is possible.
In download mode it shows
warranty void 1 (0x030c)
I also cannot flash anything in odin anymore.
After initializing, it immidiatly stops with the error:
<ID:0/004> FAIL! (DeviceInfo)
Can anybody help me, how to get this beautiful phone running again?
Thanks so much!

try to download the firmware from http://samfirm.net/threads/official-rom-full-galaxy-note-7-sm-n930f-n930fxxu1apg7-xxv-23-07-2016.98/ and try to flash via odin.
Never ever try to flash anything till the time there is no evidence of success.
I tried that, but the problem is that I always get this error in Odin when trying to flash...
Did you check OEM unlock before you flash as per the instructions? not doing so will result in a boot loop.
Try different cable and USB port. I had trouble with both that had me running in circles.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Yes, I did OEM unlock before the flash.
Different cable and USB port makes no difference...
Usually when I have issues I try to uninstall all drivers related to phones and only install the one I need. Then after a restart and forcing the phone into Odin I'm able to flash without issues.
It might be failing because of a Partition size error. Have you tried the Samfirm Tool to download a firmware from your region?
Have you tried Emergency Device Recovery from SmartSwitch PC ?
Also, I'm doubtful whether this is a new trick up from Samsung's sleeve. This Phone is still new, so it's quite a learning process. Maybe Samsung has implemented something to block these unofficial flash attempts. However I thank you taking the risk and trying the recovery first.
Can you help me, where I can get this?

Download and install SmartSwitch for PC. Then follow this Video.
I really have no luck here...
Any idea?
Googled already, but did not really find anything besides reinstalling...
I dont think theres a fix for this issue yet. There's also no subtantiated literature in the larger cummunity pertaining to rooting the Note 7.
I am guessing this is an additional precaution taken by Samsung therefore the rooting process needs a very specific set of steps in order to circumnavigate the systems Sammy has put in place. The thread itself says WIP, so I applaud you for your courage.
Nonetheless my suggestion is to instead of waiting for an answer which no one can provide, go to Sammy and bull**** to them that u plugged in the computer and it became a brick.
Theres is no possible senario whereby the internet can help you because we know next to nothing about Note 7.
I sincerely hope that you can come out of the situation with a working Note 7 in your hands whilst not burning a hole in your wallet due to the repairs. God-speed my friend, God-speed.

This seems to be an issue in your drivers, Please uninstall all samsung related and flash box related (if exists) in your PC and try installing it again.
Alternatively, you can just walk into a Samsung Care store and get it done while you wait.
I did that already... No luck. I will try on a different pm next.
Bill sad to see this happened to you
I am exactly coming for the same forum and was following the same steps thought u were, but u took one more step forward and flashed the vitanamese firmware, your phone just messed up there. Was actually about to do the same thing but then read your comments. My phone starts but with errors and has battery drainage , i havent lost anything as it is still virgin and havent transfered anything to it yet. Will wait probably 4 to 5 days more for the official firmwares to release and fire it in.
Sorry to say but u had become the test subject...

The recovery mode cannot be accessed, no matter how hard you try

I just was in the Samsung Care Center in Singapore with my bricked phone.
After 1 hour waiting time, a Samsung guy explained me, that they cannot do anything about it, because they don't have parts ? for this phone in Singapore because it was not launched yet and also there is no international warranty on it.
He had no idea about any software recovery or anything and suggested to get back to Dubai, where I got the phone from.
Really a bad Customerservice experience.
I also want to thank all of you for your great help and suggestions!
I think I will send the phone back to the store in Dubai now.
Well tht will be a good choice
But if u give it three more days and wait for the official firmwares to release would save you some time.
I am still following up with it.

I really doubt, that this will help, since I cannot flash anything in odin. After initialization I always get the error "FAIL (DeviceInfo)"

Same here in (Dubai) Mate, They don't even have the parts, or Tools to open the device up. If you remember me, I screwed up my Note 7 a week back, Just after two days from launch, and I still didn't receive it. They are still unable to sort it out.
I'm sure when a proper firmware for XSG (Dubai - Same as your device) and a proper ODIN is released to flash the Note 7, this will be a piece of a cake. Just hope for the best, As just like you - I too took a leap of faith and did something stupid.
Anyway, Wishing you luck !
I am not sure if this will help....
What happens when you try a older version of Odin?
Its worked for me in the past, with my s6 edge.
Hi
I have a problem rooting my phone.
Thing is that it is my company phone which is supervised by snowsoftware.
We are allowed to use it as an private phone aswell but since it is able to track like everything I do... You know...
Anyway, I've tried to do a factory reset but when I restart it afterwards it still wants me to log into snow before moving on...
I have also used Odin with Albvirals firmware and combination files with same result!
Is there anyway to get rid of this annoying software with some kind of deeper operation?
I hopte that some of you expert can help me!

Hi! I got a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5g that i bought from a store as second hand. They give a 14 days waranty but I don't really have the time to send the phone to service.
My problem is this... The phone right now has android 12 one ui 4.0 with Android security patch level from march 1, 2022. I want to upgrade it to android 13, but everytime I try thru OTA it fails at 25% and comes back to original saying Failed to install update, contact a samsung service center. Or something similar.
I found on the web that updating thru Samsung Smart Switch should work, but for me it doesn't. It downloads 7.3 gb of updates, after that phone enters download mode and I get after some time a NOTICE on the computer that "failed to recognize software update mode" and instructs me to reboot device and try again. I even enabled USB debug mode and I get the same NOTICE on the computer. And after that I reboot phone from downloading mode and everything is back to original.
The phone was charged 50%+ everytime i tried, also I got enough rom memory, I checked. Changed usb cable to another USB on the laptop and I get the same result from Smart Switch.
Phone model is SM-A528B/DS. I will provide more info if needed.
What I can do to succesfully update the software on my A52s 5g? I searched on the web to no result to my Smart Switch error. Also I've seen that are alot of cases where thru OTA the phone fails at 25%, but either they succesfully updated thru Smart Switch or no response.
I want to try installing the official rom from sammobile but I really don't know what firmware I should pick.
Thank you in advance!

Does it matter from what carrier did the phone come from? The baseband is different from the file that you posted. Or doesn't matter? Anyway, downloaded it, now i'm looking for a tutorial on how to flash the rom. Thanks!

I just flashed the rom you provided. Hurray! It works just fine with odin. If anybody got the same problem with their phone, flashing with odin does a great job!
God bless you Unreal_Hawkz!
