Thanks alot I appreciate...Will wait for it
I think I have a stock Central Europe(shipped w/o blur) ROM extracted, including the boot image, recovery image, and all the /system contents. The bad news is that the boot and recovery have to be signed images, so i guess before anyone cracks the bootloader we won't be messing with boot(and the kernel).
So far I cannot get any other recoveries beside this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942160). Any suggestions?
that should be fine i have no intentions of change anything but the system.img anyway
flipout recovery app should work fine i was gonna use advanced restore to switch system
images
could you upload the extracted imgs for me
wen r u uploading the original rom?thanks
i will be delayed by couple of days
orange say they cant repair it now so i have ordered one
from expansys should arrive wednesday
i will hunt for the original
as quick as i can i have two 5 terabyte internal drives and three 2 terabyte external drive

Hmm... the update.zip from Motorola doesn't help much, since it's not a full flash image. Stuff dumped from the modded CWM recovery works, but has already been somewhat modded in order to boot the recovery.
See if we can find any sbf full flashes like these. I'm uploading the system image from the deblured Central Europe ROM soon.
soz thought it was full
orange say go to moto
moto say go to orange
from what i can find out orange push their mods in
would love to know how with bootloader locks'n'all
ibricked my flipout 3 weeks ago
couldnt find any thing else but my phone wouldnt boot so i couldnt try it
thats why ive ordered one from expansys
they even asked if i wanted blur or not

Thanks but this is the upgrade to uk orange rom...i have it but it needs stock orange rom to be installed as I have installed retail flipout rom on mine without backing the original up...and my flipout is having problem with reception and gps so i need to send for warranty checkup...and retail rom on orange phone wont b covered in warranty....WARRANTY VOID already coz of retail rom just wana install stock rom n send it back for repairs I have searched internet for days n nights but cudnt find it any where your post is my last hope now
cool but thats all i can find aswell
the file on my hard drive is the same thing (i think)
orange wernt interested when i asked them for it
when trying to fix mine and motorola say
that it is oranges responsibility to provide it
sorry m8
i will keep looking tho
btw did you tell them you flashed it or not
and as far as sbf ruth site suggests orange uk .sbf doesnt exist
only for france
you could try the uk blur then flash the update.zip
might work
my new handset will be debranded euro
would it work if you restore just the system.img from another orange flipout then unroot
because the cwm recovery for this thing isnt flashed to the recovery partition
orange shouldnt see it
http://www.mediafire.com/file/lylp4hqvs3ynuvw/raw-system.zip
That's the euro ROM, no blur, no mods, with the google stuff.
now i wonder how you bricked your phone.
BTW, the /system/bin/charge_only_mode looks interesting to me, wonder if it can be used to boot a custom recovery.

Hmm... arm crash... that sounds like some hardware problems... ouch.
So far I am sure that charge_only_mode is what displays the big battery screen when you plug in the phone while the phone's off.

No more hassle with flashing a KDZ file first, after that rooting and whatever...
Just flash this Zip-file in CWM (no matter what Version 2.3.5 / ICS you have right now.
Please note:
Wipe cache/data/dalvik/battery and also format cache/system/data/ (in "mounts and storage") before flashing the Zip-file or it won't boot after flashing!!!
After flash is finished, reboot into recovery and wipe cache/data/dalvik/battery and reboot system. Now you should be on ICS 4.0.4 and also rooted.

depending on the location, baidu storage can be extremely slow.
anyway, im really enjoying this update, but anyone knows if there is any possibility to get a stable version of CM9 for LU6200?
No CM9 for LU6200, i asked Ricardo (Dev) a long time ago. They never planned to port it to LU6200.
But with the ICS out, i see no need for CM9 at the moment.
@ali_alex: I will upload it to Dropbox and update the Link later.
Updated the Links, now also available on Dropbox.
@ali_alex: Can you give me some advice how you got the call logs working again? thanks

Set up your phone number
Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Or use a old phone to set up phone number
Sorry for asking, but what exactly means setup the phone number? On the SIM card?
Before ICS on GB 2.3 i had a little app named Sim Toolkit, it installed automatically after i inserted my SIMcard. But that prog is not available anymore.
Weird thing is that i know that the call logs were working on the fresh installation of ICS.
Thanks. But not working for me, cant install the app. It says thats its not compatible with apps which share the same user ID.
Does this mean that everytime one gets a new phonecard, have to do this stuff?
I guess its a little embarrasing for users who dont know a lot about it.
I tried to associate my number with my SIM card on my wife's phone. But back in my phone the number is still not available.

I flashed the new ROM from gfan.com now. All is working well including call logs, still without "my number".
Also they managed to make the weird Icon on the upper right disspear and the ROM is already debloated. I just had to reinstall google apps pack.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4333749-1-1.html
that weird icon appears when the phone is in a situation where it can't make 3G video call.. which is usually available in Korea only.
anyway, how did you download the new version? I browsed the chinese forum, and.. i'm just lost there even after using google translator. could you upload the new one on somewhere else just like you did for the earlier one?
update: never mind, i found a way to download it. have you noticed any performance difference between the first release and the v4?
Thanks for clarifiying what that weird logo is for.
It's definitly faster and the battery time is also better. With the stock ICS my RAM usage was going up without doing much,
and now on that ROM the usage is half with same configuration/apps.
The guys have lot of experiences in making custom ROMs, and for me it works.

Thanks so much for sharing the files on dropbox, currently still downloading them. Btw, when you boot with this rom, does the ICS engineer version message on the upper left of the screen pop up?
And after the animated boot logo finishes, does "Android is Upgrading.. Optimizing Applications" also show up?
If you have a download link of gapps for LU6200, I'd appreciate it a lot if you can share it.
Thanks again!

Please note, that the ROM on Dropbox is the ICS 4.0.4 already rooted with CWM Touch but not debloated, that means untouched.
The link i posted later is a new debloated and optimized version but they also debloated google apps.
You can find the google apps pack here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Just boot into CWM and flash the zip like you flash ROM zip's.
Engineer version shows up on all boot screens for ICS (LU6200) at the moment, because it was the only way to bring root and CWM onto the phone. (because the had to flash engineer version before the stock KDZ to get it work)
But it does not mean that the ROM is engineer version, its 4.0.4.
"Android is upgrading" message did not appear on the ROM version i had before, but on the actual one it is.
Only one thing i dont understand, why its always "media scanning" the SDcard and thats sometimes for a long time. Maybe its my card, but in GB it never appeared.

Thanks for the link and other information. More power to you and hope we can get some more variety of custom roms for the LU6200. BTW storing the roms on Dropbox was very ideal for Dropbox users like me since copying the file into my Dropbox account was instantaneous!
I've been browsing the Chinese sites using Google Chrome w/ its built in translator but downloading from from their links seems impossible and ultra slow if the free download was selected
Your welcome...
If you need a ROM from gfan.com or other chinese sites, just let me know. I can upload it for you, since i am in China so the DL rate is much better here.
For Mozilla Firefox there is a very good translation tool available, its now also working with Google Chrome.
http://www.perapera.org/
I've made an account on 115.com its like the chinese dropbox, there i also can just copying the ROMs to... if the Uploader also stored it there.

I agree with hitme987, I use it all the time with no errors and it works like a charm, provided you have a 5 file firmware pack.

I see in the last screen shot that you have a BOOT file in your firmware pack.
The boot loader needs to be DefaultCalDataWithBoot!! Not that BOOT file!!!
Judging by the output from Odin, it looks like you used that file.

I agree with you bro, but if he flashed that bootloader file then its quite possible that he facked up his phone
One must never EVER mess around with the bootloader unless you know what you are doing! If you flash the wrong pit file or bootloader (especially bootloader) then its bye bye phone and hello Samsung Service centre.
But luckily in his case it is repairable because he can still enter Odin. He just needs to flash the right bootloader to fix his problem (I presume, I've never seen his problem before though)
Doky73 did same thing with bootloader and hi got dead phone-samsung service

Hey guyz , I tried it with Doky73's 3-file firmware pack also , but that too doesn't work.
Also tried using DefaultCalDataWithBoot instead of bootloader.But nothing worked.Really plz help me out..........
use dxlc1 first..
maybe it'll work.. n if it work just flash ddle..
Dxle1 : try this first..

Did u remove sd nd sim card ????

Well bro, you can try with this firmware pack as a last resort:
S5360XXKL3_DBTKK1.zip
This is my personal 5 file wipe pack, its German but you can change the language when you get to the green android. Its an official ROM, no edits or tweaks!!
If this still does not work, well then my friend I'm afraid that you managed to fack your phone up
Only other option is to send it into Samsung Service centre.
I can only presume the problem is due to your bootloader
BTW: Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?
Sorry mate, I'm all outa guesses for you.
Good luck
Did EVERYTHING possible to me.
Guyz , i did everything possible , and ya , the sim and SD card are inserted.
Event tried using odin on xp , but same results.U all say that Samsung service center will get cell back to life , so does someone know that what do the "Samsung" guyz do to such a sacked up phone?????
Anyway , keep helping me and hope the best:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Well wierd. I used to have the same DDLA1 package as the OP and I flashed EVERYTIME with the BOOT file (not defaultCalDataWithBoot) and never had ANY problems. I am dead sure that its not the problem. He mustve messed something up.
@ OP. Try these ways. First download stock DDLE1 from doky73 thread.
1) Try flashing without selecting pit,bootloader and repartition unticked . See if it goes fine else
2) Try using all the 3 parts of DDLE1 and take the pit,bootloader from DDLA1 (its fine I use everytime and never had any problems) and use defaultCalDataWithBoot as boot loader of DDLA1 and see if it goes through
else
3) Try the 2nd step with that BOOT file there (not defaultCalDataWithBoot) .
Repeat the above 3 steps by using DXLE1 package. If these steps doesnt work then your phone is in serious danger

LOL! I always flash with SIM and SD cards intact. flashed 50+ times no problem at all! Doesnt make any difference really.
@op: IMHO You have connection issue between the phone and the PC.
Try reinstall Samsung drivers, or whole Kies.
Use an other USB port, or use an other PC! And check the device manager while connecting the phone!

I cannot find any development for the 3G version of the Pro 8.4
I bought one today and the standard bloatful ROM on this thing won't even allow me to use Google services... so it is quite useless.
Please point me in the right direction or tell me when a T-321 ROM or Recovery is going to be available.
Very surprised to see zero development for this which is obviously superior to the WiFi-only version.

Hi! I know 100% how you feel. I got a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and there were 0 roms for it so I ended up creating the first one. I don't have the device which you have but I can create a rom for you (or at least try to). I can't guarantee if it will work or not but we can use trail and error if you are up for it. Let me know if that's cool with you.

awesome! Thanks alot. I do not have programming skills at all but I have been rooting and playing with roms for a few years now. I be more than willing to try any ROM you would be willing to create for my device.
My main problem now is finding the stock ROM since my device is currently stuck in the DOWNLOADING mode in "Cannot boot normally" state.

No worries: I actually am just finishing downloading the stock rom for your device. It's very slow speed from the website. So what I will do is once it finishes downloading I will upload it to google drive and give you the link so you can have a fast download.
As for the rom i'm going to have to do a little bit of research before making it so it will take me a bit. I don't mean to scare you or threaten but if it doesn't work please don't hold me responsible for any damage. Although I don't think anything bad will happen. Worst case scenario I have seen with my tablet is I end up flashing stock again.

Yea, its the Chinese one. That is how I got into this mess...I can access google drive via my VPN service so it should work.
I know the risks involved in playing with custom ROMs.. thanks for the warning though. As long as I have a reliable, non-chinese stock rom it should be fine to test stuff.
thanks so much.

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
Here is the link to the firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUUcfwWqMGYdUh1cmo2eUY2NzQ/edit?usp=sharing
Verify after downloading that the file is 1.22GB zipped
Oh...I actually need a non-chinese ROM.. Im sorry I didnt make that clear.
The CHN one probably doesnt have google account functionality. At least, the stock Chinese model I bought today doesnt. Maybe this is different. I will try. Otherwise, I might ask you to download the North American stock for me if it is not too much trouble.
Sorry for the hassle. What I need is to be able to add my google account and sync data/games.
I will sleep now (its 2:30am here). I'll update you in 7 hours or so on my progress. Thanks!

Oh sorry about that. Actually they don't have a North American version they only have 3 versions for it. I'll try to upload a different one and share it with you.

If you flashed with odin you should have gotten to the first time setup. Did you try the second firmware I gave to you?

I tried the second firmware and it worked! Mission accomplished. Google Accounts and services are working (clash of clans has been synced!)
Thanks so much. PM me your bitcoin address and I will buy you a beer.
EDIT:
This firmware is doing alot of random restarts unfortunately :|
Better than nothing I suppose. I will look around for a fix.
Well I'm glad the firmware worked out for you. I'm going to start working on the custom rom today so hopefully I can get it finished by day after tomorrow. As for the bit coin thing, I'm 14 so no can do.
But if you would like to give me a little something how about a google play credit code?
Edit: just saw the thing about the restart issue. I'll look into it as I have no clue why it would do that on stock.

Very nice of you to do that for him. I don't have his device (I have the T900), but it's nice to see people helping others.

Thank you so much for the play store card! That was an awesome gift! =)
By the way, I have started on the custom rom. I'm still trying to figure out which things to remove as I have to be careful cause I don't have the device to test.

take your time..no rush
After Flashing PI3 (pass on odin), first comes "Samsung Galaxy S6'' logo then installing updates and then error screen.
It goes direct to recovery. Tried wipe cache and all. What to do?
I would try the following:
Once in recovery, go to "POWER OFF" select it.
Let it sit for about 2 mins. Reboot to download mode. Flash the update.
Let it reboot and do its stuff. If it still fails, then a hard reset is in store for you. If that still fails, well, hopefully it doesn't.

Make sure the MD5 matches, and re-flash again. Something didn't get installed properly this is why you need to flash it again, but from a fully powered down state.

Sammobile firmwares are outdated and likely your problem. Go over to our General section and download the firmware from Koop1955s Guides & Links thread. Flash it and report back.

Koop gets his files from Sammobile. I don't know why you said they are outdated and the problem. They are usually the #1 recommended go to site for firmwares. Koop just reups them to a much faster host for the rest of us. (Which I thank him greatly for!)
The only thing wrong with the OPs file could be things like missing pieces, corrupt download, etc. Either way, getting a fresh file from koop's links is probably the best option due to the faster more reliable download servers. So thank you for sharing the link for the OP.
Saafir said:
Well apparently your Sammobile differs from yours, because there isn't any current software aside from PB6.. good day.

You don't need to get all hostile man. Look at the pic. It clearly states the latest version on Sammobile.com's website.
Here's the link, but download speed is an atrocity: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920P/
@elesbb and @Saafir, can't we all just get along?
Actually, I do use Sammobile but I also use the Samsung-firmware.org site as well. Sometimes it is slightly ahead of Sammmobile, but not always. https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G920P/
There are TWO problems with Sammobile. The obvious one is the really slow speeds. The second, and not obvious unless you check, is getting a false result that the download has completed. Happened to me the last time. I was about to post, but then I noticed that the PI3 was smaller than the previous version. Had to re-download and got it complete the second go-round.
The other reason that I post to AFH is that you always get an MD5 to check. I know that we experienced folk check those, but less experienced users don't always check. And Sammobile doesn't show the MD5, so...
