[Q] Did I just brick my dads Wave II (S8530)? - Bada Software Development

My dad bougth his Wave II (S8530) in asia, and wanted me to put Norwegian language (europe firmware) on it.
I have tried with S8530XEJK6, S8530XEJL2, S8530XXJK3 and S8530XXJK9. In MultiLoader_V5.64 I put all the files where they were supposed to be but every time i tried to upgrade/change firmwares it had an error. Sometimes on the first one, sometimes on the others. The annoying part was when all succeeded except the last one... I thought it worked...
Now it wont charge or startup. I'm pretty sure it wont start up because it didnt finish the upgrade, but why won't it charge? I have to put the battery in a Wave 1 (S8500) to charge it if i want to continue.
What did i do wrong? And why wont it charge? Anyone PLEASE have a fix for this?
Thanks

hey friend you write this error is given when you try to write on a different device ... I'm sorry for your situation ... to make good by psycoy ...

... I spoke with the beta service and suggested I drive them to your device that are attached ... then retry the upgrade ... by psycoy ...

Hi thanks for the tips, but I already had that driver.
I reinstalled it just in case, but still I get:
Error : Rsrc1 Write [20.2s]
Is there something to do with a spesific firmware? Since I had an Asian firmware, and I need a special on for the European?
Or do i have to download a spesific asian rom before going over to European?
Thanks for your help.

It's probably not a firmware issue, but circumstantial.
Try to find another microUSB cable, and if it doesn't work, find another computer to retry flashing with.
Also, DO NOT touch the Boot partition for any reason! If the flash process stops while updating the bootloader, you'll make a real brick from your phone. As long as the bootloader is intact (i.e. you can access Download Mode), your phone can be revived.

Download Start Ch[0]
BootLoader 1703.9KB OK[0.9s]
Dbl 281.5KB OK[0.8s]
Wait reset !!
Error : Amss Write [10.4s]
I tried a new cable, but that doesnt seem to be the problem. Usually its the Rsrc1 that stops, but it's so random.
It goes into download mode fine, so it seems bootloader is. But i just cant seem to get the full firmware to download without it stoping :/

Please use MultiLoader v5.62.
Good Luck !

Thanks, I've tried that too, but didnt work with Rsrc1
Update:
Ok.. now I tried it without Rsrc1 and it worked!
But I didnt get the norwegian language i wanted.
Do i need Rsrc1 ?

I'm guessing norwegian isnt on these phones yet.
Anyways thanks for your help, all I had to do was leave Rsrc1 out of it.
Anyone know what thats for? Hopefully not important, since the phone is working

Rsrc1 is important file.
CSC contains Language and other regional settings.

abnormal sw detected ! upgrade only

i used many firmwares but no sucess always dont want to flash the apps file
any help plase
best regards
Firmware before?
Firmware you try?
Example
S8530BUKA2 blabla
Some combinations are not working. Maybe you try wrong Firmware.
Maybe your handset have Netlock, maybe...
Maybe you should give more details.
Make Screeshot from Multiloader.
Maybe Multiloader 5.65 work better...
Which Windows?
32 or 64 bit?
Your first update or success before and only now failed...
Best Regards
i think he just forgot to close heavy programs on his computer
Even i had the same problem while i upgraded. Just do a hard reset by entering manual code (*2767*3855#) before and after the FW upgrade.
P.S- Keep your external SD card and you SIM out before you do the factory reset

As I remember this can be solved by flashing back a full 1.2 firmware (for example JL2) and then the 2.0 again.
But the problem indicates that the firmware you tried to install is somehow corrupt or it consists files from multiple versions (I faced the same issue when I tried to mix in CSC file from an earlier firmware).

[Q] Soft brick :(

By mistake I uploaded Odin Asian ROM, which reportedly has a different structure in the flash memory of the phone.
When returning to the European ROM device has bootloop but or system boots with errors (eg no modem).
I understand that now I need a multifile rom to restore right structure on Flash. Am I right?
The only question is where these files to take?
Thanks for your help.
You could try to restore Your Whole OS, and all the partitions and stuff with this: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31790
I have flashed that like a week ago on my Note 3, and it seems to work really nicely.
I tried to do this - without results.

try do this install again one asian firmware remember what you installed first and try upgrade with the area from there . don't change any bootloader but , after ODIN reset do a fast up volume plus home plus power and you should have back everything but (choose english ) that is the only prb.
Today I made what you are writing above.
This is a only solution I think. Next I need to wait for EU ROM with my language.
Thanks for your support.

Here is a full tutorial for how to flash a rom with Odin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6VmIfXPWgs. Here is the link to the Dutch PHN NE2 (unbranded) rom https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B6Ufgy16r712ODRMRFhheGZMZEk&export=download. Good luck mate
BTW: make sure to remove the battery first, wait 10-20 seconds, reinsert it and go into downloadmode and flash the rom with Odin 3.09.

Flashing a UK or German DBT rom shouldn`t be a problem. I flashed the German DBT cause they are updated quicker and more frequent then the Dutch firmware. I cannot post you the link because its not allowed but look for Firmwares on Sammobile.com and look for the SM-G900F German DBT rom.
IMPORTANT: disable Kies in windows task manager before you flash with Odin !!!!!
still fail
it failed again i dont know what im doing wrong.
Are you able to help me by using teamviewer so you can check if i did any wrong?
After downloading i extract the file into a map that i created on desktop.
Then i choose the file by pressing AP at odin then wait and start.
İs there any other option?

- Do you use a usb 2 or 3 cable? Usb 3 can be a problem sometimes as i read.
- Have you terminated Kies in windows task manager?
- Do you have the correct usb drivers installed? Does IDCOM light up and show you an COMx number if you connect the phone to the pc in the left upper corner of Odin?
it shows COM3 and its blue is that ok?

Problem after firmware flash

Hey there people from XDA Forums,
I kind of figure I messed my S4 (I9505) up. I tried to flash a DBT-firmware (branding free for Germany) on a phone I got from Switzerland including a netlock. After Odin started I got a write error and now the phone tells me there was an issue please ask Kies about recovery mode. But Kies doesn't recognice my Phone at all. Is there any chance i can get a new working firmware onto it?
greetings

Hi mate
This is an extract from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Odin troubleshooting: If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:
- Repeat procedure.
- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.
- Change usb port.
- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).
- Try another Odin version.
- Uninstall and re-install driver.
- Use pit file.
- Try another computer.
Flashing firmware from other country should not be a problem , download file again
Where do I find a correct pit file? When flashing PIT is it always nessecary to check repartition in odin?

Hi
In your case it would be :

Is on the thread i posted before , you only check repartition when you use a PIT file , any other case you do not
finally I managed to flash a new recovery and where able to restart the phone. As it seems the problem was my Computer. through the old notebook from my wife it went quite flawless. Now i am back to my original problems. I am on a branded rom with a sim lock and dont like both of it
will it work to just flash the complete firmware from my region? will it overwrite the netlock or where is it located?
Thanks for your help so far

Hi,
Glad you manage it to work.
Flashing a new firmware will not network unlock you phone , use to be possible to do it using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
not anymore as far as i know , you will need an unlock code.
yeah, tried this one allready, but after key input I dont get a new menu. I guess this method is not working for newer austrian firmwares

Any time mate..that is why we are here for

Where to start ?....soft bricked S4.... unknow delaer/firmware :-[

Hi folks!!!
I know is very annoying this question....
But already look in a lot of forums in XDA, but without luck....
So I first start with my background about restoring and flashing devices.....
MY first flashing device was a Galaxy S1 with Cyanogenmod.
Later a flash 1 Galaxy Young, and after I fixed a different and default random soft bricked Galaxy Young.
My last flashed device was a S5 with LineageOS 3/4 months ago....
Im did so installing CWM when was possible, using Odin , or ADB....from Linux and W$.....
Until I get lost my last phone Galaxy S5...
So I had to buy a 2° hand phone quickly....he was working OK... for a while ....the time has passed and become more and more slowly....so I decided to make a reset factory .......very BAD IDEA... I didn't take build information....just the model...GT-I9500....
The same info appears in the Odin download Mode....
But there is no tag with SN, and IMEI neither on the back... :'-(
So I get stuck in the Download mode ...but there IS NOT TAG about ODIN mode in this screen.....at least if
unplug the battery, and restart the phone holding PWR+HOME+VOL. DOWN .
[ EDIT ]
Trying to flash stock firmware with Kies ( who request a valid SN, what I take from web ) in the next models
GT-I9505
GT-I9500
give me this message ( in spanish =) ) ==> "este modelo no admite la inicializaciòn" , which means " this model cannot be initialized" .
[ end EDIT ]
I also tried smash (softly...covering with a canvas ) the power button...but without luck...
Seems like the phone is factory locked..... what I had read may be by AT&T or Verizon....any way to know which dealer?
Any idea or recomendation where to start ???
Its ( maybe ) JTAG cable the ONLY way/solution to fix this, or even this is NOT a solution...?
I will waiting for your answers....
TIA
PS: sorry if I made some mistakes with the english

Hello Rhoban, and thanks for your reply!!!!
and YES, Odin recognize the phone, the flash result is PASS, but the phone continues stucked on the same "Download" screen...
Because I dont have SN and IMEI neither, I dont know which ROM to flash..
After tryed to reset factory whithout luck, I tried to flash lineage, without any result.
Also because I cant unlock bootloader, I supposed to the phone was from Verizon or AT&T.
I tried to flash this ROMS's , setting the image on AP field from Odin
Verizon
I545VRUAME7_I545VZWAME7_I545VRUAME7_HOME.tar.md5
I545VRUDMI1_I545VZWDMI1_I545VRUDMI1_HOME.tar.md5
From doidview ==> I545VRUGOC1_I545VZWGOC1_I545VRUGOC1_HOME.tar.md5
also i tried to flash the next PIT files and same result...nothing changed
SCH-I545.pit
SGS-I337_16GB.pit
adonis.pit
an this bootchain and bootloaders setting up on BL tab:
I545_OC1_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
NB1-Boot.tar.md5
VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5
From droidviews.com ==>
I545_NC5_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
I545_NG6_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
I know all above is a mess , but the list is the most detailed I can :silly:
thanks again!!!!
PS: I want to put the source link where I take the kernel images and ROM's , but because I'm newbie

Hi, the same download screen before you started flashing? Do you have "no reboot" ticked? (Heimdall user sorry) After pass just restart the phone and wait 10 min or so.

Never read into this, but resources are there( Seen some topic titles), there is hope for Verizon and AT&T users.

Did you have a backup? Flashing the wrong pit file might hardbrick your phone. I guess the above where blocked bij Odin (Lucky you).
In short:
Connect your phone in download mode> open Odin> click PDA or AP > Select the stock firmware > start.
You mentioned your device being a GT-I9500, but the ROMs you said you have downloaded are for I545 and I337, both of which are Snapdragon models. The GT-I9500 is the Exynos model.
So that may be your problem.
Thanks LexHimself for your advices! I had backed up already the contacts and pics.
and thanks Rhoban ....for you suggest I have to start again from the beggining, looking for the rigth ROM for my device... so thanks for put spot on the processor model !!!!
So I gonna start again, looking for the right ROMS...
I will post as soon has news about flashing Exynos rom´s....
thanks guys!!!
[SOLVED] !!!!
Hello guys!!!!
As Rhoban point me, I have to look for the right recover image ,and ROM for my phone GT-I9500, with Exynos processor, who has code JA3G, so with that code I can address well .
So I download this recovery image "philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar.md5", and after install, I download and install the right LineageOS ROM for my system.....
but this would not have happened, if I would started for look for the processor model as FIRST STEP...
so THANKS SO MUCH RHOBAN, and thanks LexHimself for your advices!!!!
??????
Cheers!!!!
