hi guys just new here in galaxy grand duos i just wanted to request for a full package of this phone, what i meant for complete/full package is that it contains files which has the following:
PIT file
BOOTLOADER
PDA
PHONE
CSC
why i am asking for complte package?
for a reason that if ever i encounter a bootloop problem that cannot be solved by just factory resetting the phone and the only solution if by jsut flashing the bootloader file.

This are only available on the leak which is full of bugs. You do not need all this files to solve bootloop. The ones available thru sammobile are "official firmware" and assumed to be less buggy than the leak.
If you really want no headache then be like me as I remain on the latest 4.1.2.....No bootloops and no bugs....
Hello all, I am new to the android community as well as the devices, which was probably a major factor in the coming of my current predicament. Anyways, i recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, running Android KitKat 4.4.2 . I attempted to root the device using ODIN v3.07 and CF auto root that was meant for the model SM-T320, whereas my model is SM-T230. So in the middle of the process, Odin said it failed and it stuck in download mode. When I tried to reset it, it came up to the screen in the pictures below. I have attempted using the firmware update from Kies 3, but i get an error message saying that the device cannot be updated. I have downloaded two different versions of the SM-T230's supposed firmware and have attempted to "flash" the device using these files, however to no avail. The error message is in the pictures below. Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

ok so recently iv encountered the same problem, with a good easy solution, if you look carefully on the update error screen that you are facing, in the top left it says odin mode.........
the next steps are simple......
download the current SM-T230 firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33745
Assumming you are in uk or a europien country, ( there is currently no uk firmware updateable via kies ) so please use the nordick firmware. (its excatly the same, i have both )
Download odin 3.7 from here : http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...S5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.74115972,d.d2k
Once you have downloaded the firmware you will need to unzip the file to somewhere easy to find, i would suggest the desktop. locate and run odin 3.7 and point the PDA tab to your recently unzipped firmware file and click start.... odin will do its thing and complete the firmware update process......
HOPE THIS HELPS THE GUYS THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS......... LET ME KNOW HOW YOU GOT ON
Hi All,
I have a problem, its on my wife's phone which makes it a huge problem, shes not very happy with me at the moment.
Her ACE 2 GT-I8160 was running very slow.
I used KIES to update it from 2.3.6 >> 4.1.2
After flashing the firmware with KIES the phone was running very slow, seemed like it wasn't able to handle the new software.
So I tried to flash the firmware back to 2.3.6 using odin.
My wifes phone was bought "off carrier" as a factory unlocked phone.
I downloaded the UK firmware cause I could not see any for the Irish region (we're in Ireland )
"Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 H3G I8160NELG2 Android 2.3.6 06.07.2012 1164437 Unlock Download File"
From what I understand this is the correct stock firmware?
Anyway, I flashed it using odin and now the phone will not get past the samsung logo.
I can boot into download mode but not recovery.
Any help would be very much appreciated and will definitely make my life at home a lot easier.
Cheers.

You have to flash the Russian 2.3.6-firmware first (I8160XXLK6) that consists of three seperated files for ODIN (pit, pda and csc). You can choose it on sammobile, look for the firmware checker to search their firmware archive by model and country (as a new member I am not yet allowed to post the link here).
After flashing your phone should be able to boot again. On this linked page you can also choose the correct Irish provider branded 4.1.2-firmware (METEOR, O2 or Three) that you can flash afterwards if you still want to.
Do not forget to do a factory reset after each flashing procedure!

Thanks for the reply Borgkubus.
Before I saw your post last night I had in fact flashed her phone back to Jelly Bean and was able to open the phone correctly. So flashing back to 4.1.2 got me past the boot logo freeze.
But now I am back to the original problem, the phone with the latest software lags and is so slow to do anything, its very frustrating to use it, so I need to investigate how to fix this.
You talk about installing the Russian ROM, whats the thinking behind this? Would I be able to install this russian rom and then flash to an Irish 2.3.6?
I am a bit apprehensive about using a PIT file, the last time I used one I messed up my S3. Is it safe to use the Russia rom and them falsh to an Irish 2.3.6? This might speed up the phone.
Also, one last thing, doing a factory reset after the flash, what does this do? My understanding is that it removes all user info, will it speed up the OS also?
Thanks again Borgkubus.
First of all, nobody can guarantee the safety of a flashing process. However, by following the common rules when flashing with ODIN you can minimize the risk of a brick. Just do it as soon as you know what you are doing.
The thinking behind using the Russian ROM (XXLK6) is the following: It's the only firmware on sammobile that consists of 3 parts, including the Gingerbread pit file for repartitioning. Doing so I never had any problems when downgrading to 2.3.6. And of course you can flash an Irish firmware afterwards, the Russian one is just an intermediate step.
The factory reset is needed to get a clean install. I recommend you to do this every time after flashing another firmware. This might also solve many problems such as boot loops, lags and so on.
Happy flashing,
Borgkubus
Hi,
My phone shows that the update to 5.1.1 is avaible but at this time I have no WiFi, I have hooked up my desktop and my Window Tablet to my Hotspot to try and trick it with no luck :crying:
I'm over my 2gb limit but my throttling is very funky, I will get great speeds at times, even been able to download few movies overnight via Torrrents and CD collections.
I am stuck cause Kies will not show me a update allowed. Still showing me I have the latest firmware. I know a few people have gotten it already its almost 700mb, can anyone that has it copy it from there device and upload it for the few of us to be able to flash via Odin? I helped out and uploaded my 5.1.1 when I was on the T-Mobile S5 and uploaded it to MEGA and a torrent from my computer. Hopefully someone will help. I tried a few ways but I can't see to get KIES 3 to see a update. Idk why Kies wouldn't see it but my phone does, is this region based? Also Sammobile has nothing for firmware for the N910A which I assume is due to AT&T and there efforts to stopping from trying to make it easy to mess with the bootloaders on 5.0+
Thanks
Sorry If I posted in the wrong area, Im not use to the AT&T Note4 being so unsupported. I have only had the Galaxy S3, S4 and S5 for T-Mobile until a few months ago when I got the N910A
I was trying to root my samsung galaxy a5 2017 with TWRP and I accidentally deleted system data. Then, I tried rebooting the phone and it got stuck in a bootloop. To fix this problem I tried flashing stock 8.0 firmware from sammobile via odin and I got this error:
Sw rev. Check fail. Device: 6, binary 5. I think that this means I have to flash the latest stock firmware but there isn't a newer one.
After that, I tried to use my phone by flashing a custom rom (Lineage 15.1) and I discovered that I have no imei,no baseband and no ip adress. I have installed many custom roms but the issue is still there. I am trying to get my phone to work with stock firmware and fix the IMEI issue but odin wont let me flash because of that error. I would appreciate if anyone could help. Thanks.
Flash a firmware version that contains S6 or U6 in the middle, it won't work with U5/S5! Not the Samsung phone S5 or S6, but rather, the firmware version.
For cellular, change the modem firmware, or backup and wipe /data/. /data/data/?.
Unless the efs was wiped (probably not if the baseband version isn't there, load a backup then, only if the efs was wiped don't restore it otherwise, and it must not be a backup created with an older twrp, view the recovery log in the backup folder)

Listen to me, it happened to me 2 days ago, and I came to the conclusion that I was not flash the latest firmware. You need to flash the same firmware with the same bootloader or more recent, the error you receive is because you are flashing an older version of bootloader. Do one thing, type the code *#1234# on the phone keypad
mark the code that gives you on 'AP and look it on Sammobile at https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a5/SM-A520F/ITV/ select your language and look for the firmware with your own code . You will see that odin flash it.
Samsung A520F Custom Binary Error
Hello please I have been trying to reload my Samsung A520F firmware for a couple of weeks
It all started with the phone trying to update (over WIFI) and somewhere along the line files must have gotten corrupted
This led to the phone constantly restart and shutting down applications
I decided to just download the firmware and use Odin to reload. This, unfortunately, didn't go so well as now the phone isn't starting up anymore but can still get to download mode.
PDA firmware is A520FXXUACSE6
Region is EUR
Network is OPEN
every time I use this firmware I get the error
" Custom binary (BOOT) Blocked by FRP Lock
Please note currently at the moment phone refuses to boot up I read about removing OEM lock and don't know if this is the problem.
Please could you help out
