Hi guys, I've been trying for a lot of times to update the firmware of my galaxy w but it fails every time.. It keeps coming out with an error .
I am using CWM recovery and is there a way to revert back to the stock recovery so that I can update using the phone itself??!
Hi, you can flash the stock recovery using odin.
[HowTo] Flash a firmware with ODIN on Samsung Galaxy W(I8150)
In this thread u can find how to do it, and in post #3 there is the file for the stock recovery
The stock recovery is required to update the stock rom. It is also mentioned in the FAQ.
Here is how you flash the stock recovery. Scroll down to others.
EDIT: A bit to slow ;-)

Alright! Thanks guys! Appreciate the help alot!
Hello everyone,
I have made a stupid mistake and need help before I proceed since this might kill my device.
I had updated note 2 to official samsung 4.3 OTA for India.
Today I decided to root my phone and installed Phoenix Rom 15.0 + 15.7 update.
After flashing v15.0 Phoenix rom my wifi didnt work. I tried dr ketans wifi patch. still wifi didnt work
After flashing v15.7 Phoenix rom I was stuck in a bootloop.
Now since nothing seemed to work I ended up flashing MJ5 bootloader.
I realised it too late that due to knox one cannot downgrade to older bootloader.
I cant even charge my phone it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
I can get into Download mode
Please help suggest some remedy. I dont want to hard brick my phone. Also I dont care about knox warranty which is already gone since i installed Philz recovery
As you can get into download mode flash the official mk4 firmware (get it from samfirmware) and you should be back working on 4.3 again..
thank you for helping
I managed to flash only the latest bootloader and all is good now

I need urgent help:
I was with Custom Rom, 4.4, MK4, etc.
Turns out I tried to change the recovery, and had a system error.
So I decided to flash the Stock Rom with Odin v3.09 (India stock Rom 4.3)
And now my phone does not pass the logo of Samsung, does not start.
Any hints what I should do to get my device ? I need help.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
I read in other post: enter in recovery (before flashed stock rom) and wipe all.
I did, and phone restart. All ok now.
Thanks XDA.

Today i flashed CM 11 with CWM and after rebooting the baseband and IMEI were gone. I tried to flash the baseband but nothing happened. I then tried to flash the stock rom touchwiz through ODIN and it failed. Now the phone reboots asking to connect to KIES and do a recovery which i can't perform.
Any clues about?
Thank you in advance,
Davide

Thanks for the prompt reply. The Rom I flashed is the 4.4.2 snapshot.
In the meantime i flashed this pit file from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137008
and now the CYM is back and working but still no baseband.
Is there any way i can reinstall the stock rom ? is the partition a problem?
I dont have a backup of the EFS folder (I made it once but i cant find it)
EDIT: CWM is installed and working
is your IMEI Same..?
i assume there are several reasons, it can be a simple fix by installing a stock 4.4 KK which will eliminate the problem you are facing, iin past week, i done alot of experiences on my bricked note 2, specially the failed PIT flashed, i tried couple of them but at the end the only thing turned the phone in right direction was stock KITKAT
you can find that in the the post i posted earlier.
i am 100% sure you will get your phone back to life.
also remember to when you are done flashing go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache. It is needed after re-partiton to form the partitions correctly
edit: best keep a nand of your current rom as well
4.4.2

Exactly. Flashing the official stock rom based on kitkat 4.4.2 (which has been released few days ago I believe) solved the problem. I'll try to flash CM tomorrow (tonight get.cm is not reachable and can't download the android app).
Thank you!

Just wanted to ask you something. I installed the Nordic version of the latest Android update which is at the moment the only one available and I have the impression that the voice quality is not that good. I was wondering if this may depend on the baseband version installed on this one. I'm from Italy and kitkat 4.4 is still not available in my country. Flashing a different baseband may change the situation? If so, Is there a baseband more compatible with this touchwiz version and the Italian telco providers?
Thank you again,
Davide

Hey friends I have a problem.
I was running on 4.1.2 on my note 2.
I am from India.
Then I tried to flash lollipop ROM after I rooted it and installed custom recovery. I installed new ROM.
It was great but I lost my efs partition and so does imei.
So to recover imei I flashed stock ROM via Odin but during that time I made mistake I flashed France firmware of 4.4.2 so in Odin it failed.
Now phone doesn't booting up just Samsung screen and immediately off then on again.
I can go to downloading mode but not in recovery mode.
Please help me and if I can get it back via Odin then please send me link of Indian firmware
Thanks anyway..
