no....where to find this file???

Here.
Sounds like you have some more reading to do though, man.
EDIT: Also, make sure your phone is in Download Mode.

Do the reading but here is a start
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
After it flashes then go back and reboot.
This should get you back to a place where you can reflash. Then shut the phone down. Then remove the battery for at least 30 secs. the put it back and reboot It should come up just fine..............NOW you can go from there.........BUT ..........DUDE...........READ and use Google... This is all out there good luck

thanks man. yeah i am really confused rite now. and i am new to all these things. please bear with me. so after downloading this file. and putting it into PDA. and starting the process. what would be the next step or it would be the last step.
the thread about it says.
Put your phone to download mode (hold down: volume down, home key, power)
Do not plug in your phone yet.
Start Odin3
Tick "Re-Partition", and also check that "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" have been ticked.
Click "PIT" button and select s1_odin_20100512.pit file.
Now, plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.
Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass".
Plug out your phone, remove the battery, put it back in and put phone to download mode again.
Click "Reset" button in Odin and untick "Re-Partition" box.
Do not select PIT file again. Just leave it empty.
Click "PDA" button and select "CODE" file.
Click "MODEM" button and select "MODEM" file.
Click "CSC" button and select "CSC" file.
Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.
Click "Start" button and wait until phone reboots with the new software version.
It doesnt say to put PDA file on the first start. and where do i find the modem and csc files. thnx man. n sorry for so many noob questions. i seriously need help.

By "start Odin" it just means run the .exe file to open Odin.
No need for the modem and csc files.

Yeah, I just read through the directions in your post. Personally I never go through all those steps. It may be a mistake, but I've flashed using Odin dozens of times and never had a problem.
Just load the 'PIT', load the 'PDA', check re-partition (if applicable), then hit 'start'.

Repair your I9100G Samsung Galaxy S2 which has been flashed with wrong firmware

Hi Guys,
I've bought a GT-I9100G, flashed it with an original I9100 rom and the phone was bricked by the wrong firmware. After that, I couldn't flash it with the right firmware neither.
I have spent a whole day to figure out the problem and I have found a guy, who had the same problem earlier.
He told me what to do:
Warning! Use this description at your own risk! I can't guarantee that your phone will be alright. If you are brave, just give it a shot.
1. Download the required files:
-In case of the blocked file servers, the pit has been uploaded to a reliable Hungarian site-
Odin 1.85:
Odin 1.85
TI OMAP 4 .PIT FILE:
PIT for I9100G Samsung Galaxy S 2 II
HOW TO DOWNLOAD FROM DATA.HU:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
The stock ROM:
Go to http://www.sammobile.com/ and find a rom for your device (rembember, you have to look for I9100G firmwares not for I9100 ones)
2. Repartition with Odin
Turn off your phone and remove the battery.
Put it back and Press these buttons in this order:
Volume Down + Home (Menu) + Power Button
After that, you will see this:
Now, press the Volume Up button.
Your phone is in Download Mode now.
Connect your phone in this mode to your PC. It will install a few drivers, just wait patiently.
After the installation, you have to see this:
Now, browse the downloaded .PIT file to its place.
Check the re-partition box and press START.
When it finished, detach your phone.
3. Flash the new Firmware
Browse the downloaded firmware to the PDA section in Odin.
DO NOT CHECK THE RE-PARTITON BOX THIS TIME!
Hit the flash button and wait patiently.
When it finishes just enjoy your SGS II!
If you don't understand something, just ask in the thread or send me a private message.
I'll write some keywords here, so Google can find this thread easier:
I9100G flashed with I9100 firmware, bad flashing, bad flashed I9100G, bricked I9100G, dead I9100G, I9100G PIT, .PIT, *.PIT, pit file

1st - If you did not created it, it does not belong to original development.
2nd - If you can do something without jtag, it neither dead or bricked.
Still good to post it, but next time pay attention to post in the right section plz.

Thank you for your help and I hope this thread will help somebody.

did u recover ur phone from this bad flash? By the way what was the exact process?
1) u flashed the pit file fter chking the repartition option in odia
2) flashed a stock rom of i9100g
and all working?

Yes, exactly.
First of all, make a repartition with Odin. Check the Re-partition box and browse the PIT file.
Click on the START button.
After it finishes, browse the rom file to the PDA section, and click START again.
This method worked on my phone.

Good one, hope I don't have to use it

Hi! suffering from same probelm. My phone doesnt go into boot mode and a yellow triangle keeps flashing. How could i use the PIT file? any step by step guide available?
Thanks!

I have made a more accurate process description.

Hello,
I once had the same problem and wasn't able to go to the download mode, I had the image of a PC and a phone on my screen and when removing the battery the phone goes off, and when I put it again and turn it on, automatically I found my self on the same screen without being able to do anything. I had no choice but send my phone to be repaired !

Archive PIT
I have read in forums that the android Archiving PIT would not be necessary, is this true?

Rats, thanks to hotfile being made entirely out of fail and megaupload being seized by the feds this guide is of no use to me as I cannot get hold of any of the files needed to repair my phone.

That's download mode... It's "forced download mode" - phone is telling you that you HAVE to flash something in Odin or you're not going anywhere.

what about flashing wrong kernel? What should i do? I've flashed the i9100 kernel, mine is i9100G

I've made it too, but it's not a problem. If you have download mode you can do everything.
Just follow the steps in the first post.
To the others:
All of the files have been uploaded again. Please contact me if something goes wrong with them.
Good luck and have fun!

Thanks a lot for this post.. was great help to me...
However for those who can't get to download mode using the VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER KEY combination, this worked for me..
Disconnect your phone from usb cable
Remove the battery and place it back again
Press the VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN KEYS SIMULTANEOUSLY and without releasing them,
Insert your USB cable...
if it shows a phone connected to a PC with a yellow triangle between, and ODIN recognises it, you are good to go.
Just proceed with the instructions from ToMmY_hun
That is how I fixed my SAMSUNG GT I9100G.

this post helped me out so much big big thanks

The PIT is useful in order to clean deeply your device, so if you have lag, brik or freezing the PIT guarantees a better functioning of the system.
If you don't have any problem, you can avoid the PIT and simply flash the rom

Amazon.de ships 9100G !
Hi,
I just had the same problem. Today my new SGS2 arrived from Amazon.de
I flashed a LA2 based I9100 Firmware (CF-Root-SGS2_XI_ITV_LA2-v5.0-CWM5)
I flashed only the PDA Part in Odin without any other changes in Odin, thinking that I can boot afterwards in CWM and install a CustomRom.
My phone was stuck at the Galaxy S II Bootscreen with the yellow triangle.
Afterwards - I know, a little too late - I realized that my retailer sent me a I9100G (with a german LA1 2.3.6 Firmware) instead of a I9100!
So I downloaded an original 9100G Firmware from sammobile.com. Unfortunately there are no european firmwares available for the 9100G, so I had to use the only 2.3.6 Firmware I found I9100GJPKK1 (United Arab Emirates).
I started Odin, didn't change any of the checkboxes and flashed it (only PDA). Everythin is working right now but I want to exchange it with a 9100.
I'm not sure if I can return the Handset to the retailer. It was his fault that he messed up the phone models but now I have a mobile with arab emirates firmware that does not support german.
Hope my little journey helps somebody...

[Q] Cannot flash Galaxy S4 GT-I9502?

Hey Guys,
I am trying to return a Galaxy S4 Duos GT-I9502 back to stock, for someone who attempted to root the device, which failed. I am however experiencing some difficulty doing so, and would appreciate some help, if anyone has any suggestions.
This is the screen on the device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am able to put the device into download mode, though I keep getting this error message when I try flashing the device in Odin.
"Complete(Write) operation failed."
When attempting to flash the device, it quickly goes through boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (when it should take longer for each step, and you should see the little green progress bar move), before failing. Does this mean that Odin is having issues writing to the device?
I am pretty confident that I have the correct Samsung drivers installed, and I have tried completely closing all of the Samsung Kies processes on the computer. I have even tried using a different computer, and two different ROMs.
I have tried flashing the below ROMs:
I9502ZNUBMG2_I9502CHUBMG2_CHU
I9502ZNUAME3_I9502CHUAME3_CHU
I have also tried the 'Firmware upgrade and initialization' option in Samsung Kies, though I keep on getting this error message, before it closes (I do not know what it says, Google translate doesn't give a good translation).
"Binary files are not registered U.S. Congress gyeongmu mouth mid-sprocket
Bow can proceed
Please check the binary file registration myeobu"
Does anyone have any suggestion / idea of what is going wrong? Any help would be highly appreciated!

Never mind, I was able to resolve the issue by re-flashing CWM recovery!

same problem
i have exactly same problem with I9502ZNUBMH4 version , does anyone know how to flash this device because i tried 100 time with different versions of odin , and every time i failed repaird it with cwm .
oh and the device won`t do a full wipe , every time i full wiped it my files didn`t deleted ?!

Samsung S4 GT-I9502 root / flash failed - HELP
Hey Guys,
I tried to root my Samsung S4 GT-I9502 (OS Android 4.3), for that I found this website:
http://marrkdaviid.com/2013/08/fix-caller-id-install-google-play-on-the-galaxy-s4-i9502/
But it failed (see more Information below) and I had the following error message and no wifi.
"Complete(Write) operation failed."
When attempting to flash the device, it quickly goes through boot.img, recovery.img and system.img (when it should take longer for each step, and you should see the little green progress bar move), before failing. Does this mean that Odin is having issues writing to the device?
I live in China and I just bought the phone, I needed 5 days to download the necessary files, because most download pages are blocked in China. So I am loosing my last nerve right now.
I am pretty confident that I have the correct Samsung drivers installed. I don’t have Samsung Kies installed. I have even tried using a different computer (Laptops), and two different ROMs.
I have tried flashing the below ROMs:
I9502ZNUCMG2_I9502CHUCMG2_I9502ZNUCMG2_HOME.tar.md5
I9502ZNUEMK3_I9502CHUEMK3_I9502ZNUEMK3_SVA.tar.md5
Someone with a the same problem tried the 'Firmware upgrade and initialization' option in Samsung Kies, but it didn’t work, so I didn’t try. (Here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382979)
Instead I tried a recovery. I used Odin 3.07 and the following file:
i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5
I got my phone back to work for a while, I reset the phone, just in case. But know I can’t switch the Wifi on and the phone wants to Reboot.
So I allowed the phone to Reboot, I clicked on “reboot system now” and then on “Yes – (I forgot what was written behind the Yes, but I didn’t just click on the normal Yes, I clicked on the Yes - …)
The problem here: The Phone changed to a China Unicom Screen and stayed like that. After 5 h I took the battery out, but I couldn’t restart the phone.
So I did an cwm recovery and know I am afraid to reboot. The Wifi is not working and I can’t find any information about how to fix it.
So please help me. Do I reboot? Can I already install SVA ROM, although I couldn’t flash the Stock Firmware? Do I send the phone back and give up?
Please let me know if you need any other information to be able to help me.
PS: This is the first time that I flash a smart phone. And although I already spent several days now, searching the internet for how-to-dos, tips & tricks, guidelines, Q&As and god knows what, I still do not fully understand what exactly I am doing here. Hence, I would be very happy to receive somewhat easy understandable answers.
Thank you so much for your help!

Philz 6.00.2
I have a similar problem.
I tried to install philz _touch_6.00.2-i9505.tar, by uisng Odin 3.09
Everything went OK. I got PASS! and my Samsung S4 i9505 rebooted into the stock ROM
However I cannot enter Philz. I tried to keep pressed volume Up + Home + Power but the phone goes immediately into the main Samsung screen. I have tried many combinations...the only working combination is:
volume Down + Home + Power > which leads to download mode (for Odin)
Thank you for your suggestions!

Tmobile samsung galaxy s7 upload mode

My tmobile galaxy s7 got stuck on something like bbl error and in the center of the screen the android logo and the sbl error and upload mode nothing else not able to get on download mode or recovery mode totally stuck need help odin not able to flash anything none of the latest firmware nothing,..
Ehat i did was i flash with odin a verizon firmware or something like fof6 combo firmware with the latest tmobile firmware found on androidfilehost.
My phone is now bricked or what i call softbricked i need any kind of help on how to flash or a tool to forcely flash something to unbrick and be able to restore stock firmware any nice developer please help i still paying this s7 and i really want to revive my phone any help will be greatly appreciated?

I'm no expert by any means, just a dude that was in the same position a few weeks ago.
First you'll want to get ODIN, which is your flashing tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3804544&d=1467772303
Next you need to find the stock firmware. Lots of sites will have it but 99% of them use some kind of bandwidth throttling crap. The firmware is 4.5gb uncompressed and about 2gb compressed. So if you can find someone hosting the firmware on their Google Drive that's your fastest bet, otherwise it'll take hours or days to download.
The latest firmware at the time of this post is G935TUVU4APIA. You don't necessarily need the latest, you just need to get your phone restored. If there is newer firmware available than what you flash to your phone, when your phone successfully boots you'll get an update to the latest.
Wish I could find a direct link for you but it seems these will always be moving around. That being said search for TMB-G935TUVU4APIA-20160927113301.zip. That was the file I downloaded and it contained the 5 files listed below, which you should extract to your preferred location on your PC:
AP_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_TMB_G935TTMB3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_TMB_G935TTMB3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 (optional)
The first 4 of the 5 listed above are the important ones. The 5th file, "HOME_CSC...", from what I understand preserves your data should you need to flash over a working phone, but we'll ignore that file for this task. Note the "AP", "BL", "CP", etc., at the beginning of each filename - more on that shortly.
Finally, the home stretch.
* Power off your phone completely. If you're boot looping hold VOL DOWN and POWER.
* Boot into recovery mode by pressing and holding VOL DOWN, HOME and POWER at the same time. Release when you see recovery mode warning.
* Connect your phone to your PC.
* Open ODIN and make sure the phone is recognized. It will show up under ID:COM and have some assigned COM port like 9 or 10.
* Click on the BL button and select the BL_G935TUVU3APG1_CL8439036_QB10213096_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file from your extracted firmware package.
* Repeat this process for AP, CP, and CSC files.
* Once all files are selected click START.
After some time your phone will be flashed with the stock firmware and everything should be back to the way it was when you purchased it. Hope that helps!

Sorry man, I can't read! Missed the part where you said you already tried ODIN.
You may want to do a factory reset first before flashing. I think you hold VOL UP, HOME and POWER to get there. Follow the steps to do a factory reset. Then try ODIN again with stock T-Mobile firmware.

tmobile s7 upload mode
the problem here is when I press vol up or vol down it goes straight to this
sbl error upload mode
and Odin detects as download mode but cant not flash anything I do have the latest firmware.
I will attach the picture of the actual error

tmobile s7 upload mode
this was the file I flashed before this happens
found it on android filehost under the search of G930T
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862666887
it may give some directions thanks

Sorry my friend, wish I could help here. It looks like your bootloader is jacked. Did you mean "sbl" instead "bbl" error? I think that's the secondary bootloader. And from the file you linked it appears you flashed the Galaxy S7 "flat" (G930T) firmware onto your Galaxy S7 Edge (G935T). Never thought that would be a brickable operation but apparently so. Unless someone's dealt with this before your only option may be to return the phone and see if they can either reflash it with some other proprietary tool or exchange it. I don't know how to push the stock boot.bin and sbl.bin onto these phones but maybe someone here does.

tmobile s7 upload mode
yes sir is a flat version of the s7
and what you are saying is correct.
well I will sit and wait for something to come up wit a light thanks...

well I think I fried thos device just gonna sit and wait for a developer to find some source of code to reboot this thing

does anyone knows how to fix this problem " SBL error upload mode " ? please........... thanks

T550 Hard Bricked QHSUSB_BULK

Hi everyone,
I have a Galaxy Tab A 9.7 T550 that seems hard-bricked. No visible (or audible) sign of life when trying to power on. Device does charge (checked with USB ammeter and voltmeter at battery). When plugging into computer it shows up as QHSUSB_BULK.
I did some searching and it seems that sometimes devices in this state can still boot directly from an SD card with proper partition structure on it. However, I couldn't find an image from a working T550. Does someone still have a T550 lying around from which they could provide me with a dump of the emmc to try?
Or any other suggestions are welcome too!
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I managed to get QPST up and running and the tablet seems to be recognized properly by it. However, also for it I couldn't find an image file that I can flash. If anybody has one lmk
UPDATE 2:
I realize I should've included some more information so here is some more:
I tried using Odin to flash a stock firmware but the device won't boot into download mode, recovery, or regular OS. When plugging it into a computer it is not recognized by Odin.
It is recognized in QPST as "Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download)" (see pic below).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, it only allows me to select an AP image for download, the BL option doesn't seem to be working, the buttons don't give any reaction. Also, QPST wants one of .hex, .hxb, .pbn, .bin, or .mbn file. I did try simply flashing the Odin AP .tar.md5 in QPST but it recognizes it as invalid. I did notice that various system images can be extracted from the Odin flashable firmware files, including some .mbn files. However, the AP file for Odin yields only the following:
boot.img
modem.bin
persist.img.ext4
recovery.img
system.img.ext4
These don't seem to be correct for flashing through QPST.
The Odin BL file yields
aboot.mbn
hyp.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin
rpm.mbn
sbl1.mbn
sec.dat
tz.mbn
These look promising, only the BL option in QPST still doesn't work for me.
I also did read about using an XML file in QFIL to flash specific images to specific partitions on the device. I found an example XML here but I don't know the partition IDs the images need to go to.
The other idea with an SD card I think could also still work (along the lines of this or this). But I would need a debrick image to write to an SD card.
So yeah, I don't think there's a high chance of being able to revive the device, simply because the correct firmware files aren't (easily) accessible. But if anybody has any wisdom to share on it let me know.
Thanks in advance and enjoy your day!

First, you didn't search for a ROM obviously since the first google result is this.
Second, you don't use QPST with samsung devices, you use ODIN.
Third, since you lack the skills to deal with this I'd recommend sending it to a professional, however if you insist on fixing it yourself.
Then follow this guide. Specifically the second method, and don't download that scam tool in the third method.
On a side note: Learn how to search, it will save yours and others time.
Goodluck.

Thanks for your reply!
Sorry I should've said this earlier but I had tried flashing with Odin. The problem is that Odin won't recognize the device (and yes I do have the drivers installed).
For me, it's not really worth sending to a professional so I thought I'd try myself.
I should've really included more information in the first post, so I'll add some more there now.

So you can't even boot to download mode? Maybe charge your phone for 10 mins or more, or try to boot by connecting the phone while pressing both volume buttons.
If you still fail to boot into download mode, then take it to a service center. No one can help you except them.

Exactly! Tried both and no success. I guess you're right, I won't be able to fix it.
But thanks for your help!
