Bootloop while flashing JW4

Hey, I tried flashing JW4 stock rom via ODIN which I downloaded from sammobile.
The name of the file is I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip and on extracting there were 2 files called JW4_JW4_JW4.tar & SS_DL.dll. I selected the tar file in PDA and flashed. The process passed but am stuck with bootloop. Plz help
I also flashed a jw4. But that was without the dll.
Anyway, after i flashed and it booted up i got a doozen errors telling me it couldnt mount different partitions.
So i gave it up as a bad one and found a thread here at xda with different stock roms and ended up with jw5.
No complications whatsoever. Yet
just google for "stock roms i9000 xda" and you should stumble over the thread i believe.
Good luck

I faced exactly the same problem: bootloop after flashing XXJW4 and many mount errors in the screen. I concluded that this firmware is not standalone in the sense that you cannot flash and repartition the device using it. Following this logic I performed these steps, leading me to a successfully recovered and fully functional XXJW4 phone:
Flash it with a full stock firmware, e.g. XXJVU (mark "repartition" as well).
Flash XXJW4 as you have done it, but make sure "Repartition" is not selected. That is, just select the tar file in the PDA field and leave the rest with the default options.
Another huge problem Got Black Screen Of Death. Am able to get my phone on to download mode but odin is not detecting my phone. HELP ME What to do?

Use another USB port. You can flash deodex version of JW4 which doesn't have any problems
bootloops
Factory Reset / Cache Wipe /
use by the Pitfile from JW 1 and flash the JW 4 ,that`s it !!
LG.G.

Your PDA file might be missing the dbdata.rfs file, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24182099&highlight=dbdata#post24182099, which can cause boot loops.

[Q] Corrupted tar files from sammobile and samsung updates

I looking for updated roms (with no operator customisations) for s5360b but all the latest versions comes with corrupted tar files and I'm unable to extract the files.
Tried to repair the tar file with no success either.
7zip/winrar latest versions unable to decompress it...
There is another way or my sources are bad?
Maybe download didn't get complete.. Try again..
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**
Only option: Redownload the whole thing again

they are not corrupt. their headers are such that you cant see or extract the files inside. only flash them in odin in pda section or if you want files then use splitfus2 by doky73

I tried to flash them directly but got an error, that's why I'm trying to decompress it. I just downloaded it many times always getting the same results.
I'll try to use a 2.3.5 release and then update it with Kies. I didn't tried using another country's rom afraid of modem file incompatibility issues, I'll do some more tests

Well first of all sorry for being late, seems you haven't resolved your problem or have you? If not, then I wanna suggest you something here. I've also faced a situation like .tar file corruption in my past and resolved it successfully, believe me. How did you try to repair the .tar file? Did you use any third-party application like a repair or recovery software? I also used a third-party recovery application named as SysInfoTools Archive Recovery, to repair my corrupt .tar files. I had two very important .tar files which were corrupted, don't know why. Then I came to know about this application and used it. Though it didn't execute a hundred percent recovery, but I was quite satisfied to recover my maximum data from those corrupt .tar files. I will recommend you check its free demo version first. If it shows your preview of your recovered data, this means the data has been successfully recovered from the corrupt file. You can download the demo of this software from sysinfotools' website.
If this application helps you, please let me know.
Regards.

[Q] Recovery broken, can't flash any ZIP (CWM also)

So, that's a long story, but a few days ago I tried do flash one more time the CM11. It gave me an error like written below. I used the CWM 6.0.5.3 that supports MTD (flashed it with Odin - .tar.md5), all beautiful, but that's not about it.
When I returned to stock and tried to flash the CWM5 through native recovery and even flashed CWM6 (6.0.5.3) through Odin, it gave me the following error (in both cases, native recovery with every ZIP I tried to flash and CWM also):
"Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installation <something>
Installation aborted."
After this manipulations, I can't even obtain root access on my phone and I have 3 apps installed, because it's out of memory. I heard that it could be because the file system remained in MTD and it is not compatible, but, if it's like this, how can I return to YAFFS2?
It does not install any ZIP, so I can flash nothing. Nor custom firmwares, nor other fixes (like root) and CWM also.
Please, help!

Simply flash stock rom via odin - this will convert your file system back to rfs for use with stock based roms (cm roms use ext file system)
You can then root the phone and flash a temp cwm or a kernel of your choice for stock based roms with cwm built in
stock rom firmware is found on my firmware thread - Links either in signature or top of firmware thread
Tried it already on a lot if version (XXKI6, XXLK3 and another ones), not working, but I'll try one more time today.

make sure you are using the firmware from my thread (the ones you have quoted are old firmwares) - they are wipe packs and will format your system when flashing
I would use this one if you are in Europe

Thx, I'll try it

Then there is either a problem with the way you are flashing it or you flashed wrong files on your phone in the past and you may need to include the pit file with the rest of the firmware - you can find the pit file for galaxy y 5360 with an easy google search - there is an xda thread with it
All firmware on my thread is confirmed working and the Europe one I have used myself - So if using the pit file doesn't work along with the firmware file then I would take it to a repair shop

you flash it all at the same time
PIT and your wipe firmware flashed at the same time haven't fixed it, the FS is broken. Any other ways or I have to prepare money for the service center?
try to format all partition ( data+system+cache ) and flash a stock rom

[Q] I need help! Soft brick my note 4, need a .PIT file.

My phone is stuck on firmware on "upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I tried Kies 3 and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried different firmwares the invalid .4ext error and says the file too big 475000 < 512000 something among those lines. I read that I will need to re-partition the memory with .PIT file for the note 4, which is no where to be found on google. I hope someone will be kind enough to extract the .PIT file from their phone and post it here.
Cheers,
Mus
Me too

I tried many way nothing happen i cant use odin fail in everything i try to flash with rom or recovery. and now phone keep restarting and i cant wipe data?? anything i add or delete after restart go back like before like nothing happen?????
Guys I tried flash latest Sweden and have same problem size too big and ext4 failed,then I flash Philz recovery and voila phone booted everything its ok!!!
If you download a stock Samsung ROM, remove the .md5 from the end of it, and then extract the archive, you should find the PIT file in there.
I've not had to do it myself, because I'm using an S4 at the moment and was able to get a PIT file download on its own. So I can't verify 100% that it will be there, but I read it in a thread somewhere that it is.
Give it a try..
same problem
i hv same problem. but after instaling all samsung recovery.tar via odin it stuck on start up showing "android is not seandroid recovery."
i hv tried dfrnt stock firmware to flash via odin but all fails. need help?????????????

Can't flash TW-based roms on i9505

hi guys,today i want to discuss about a weird issue that happened on my i9505
before i did anything was having that rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-resurrection-lollipop-v5-5-5-t3195202
then after that i decied to flash this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/touchwiz-lollipop-leaked-rom-i9505-t3027063
but then i got this error on TWRP :

when i flash an another TW-based rom i get the same error,but when i flash an cm-based rom no errors at all
i can flash stock rom, but the weirdest thing is that download mode recognizes the stock rom as custom rom
please help
EDIT 1: i will try to do a re-partition on my device and see what will happen,maybe it will fix it?
EDIT 2:i think re-partition fixed the problem, i see download mode recognizes the stock rom as it is, now what is left is rooting the device and see if is successfully flashing TW based roms with no errors
EDIT 3: and yup,finally fixed my issuse, all what i needed was re-partition on my device
Anyone?

I'm having the same issue, but how do you re-partition this phone?
You need a PIT file (available on the forums) and Odin. We have a thread on how to use the PIT file somewhere in the forums. You'll have to search for it.
