DOWNGRADE BEFORE I COULD UPGRADE
I had to jump through a lot of hoops to help a friend upgrade their Samsung Continuum (on Verizon) to the new Froyo 2.2.2 (EC09). I had previously rooted the phone, which was still on DL17, and that was now crashing the official upgrade. So I thought I'd document what finally worked, for anyone else who's struggling with the same. Not guaranteeing my procedure will work, of course.
Mostly, I've summarized and rewritten the other instructions I found buried in and amongst the other discussion threads. After successfully restoring 'stock' the official Froyo upgrade finally worked.
PRE-REQUISITES
- locate the thread, [DEV] Continuum DataBase [EC09][DL17][EC03][EC07]
- download the following files:
Samsung i400 USB driver
"DL17 Factory stock rom+radio+kernel (odex) all in one odin flash"
(the resulting unzipped file is 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5')
ODIN flash-tool
- download the updated "EC07" PIT file (the "DL17" PIT didn't work for me!)
Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT
PROCEDURE
Install the Samsung i400 USB drivers
Remove battery from phone (not sure if this is necessary but some threads advised it, and after several failed attempts I was desperately trying everything. In any case, it didn't interfere with a successful imaging!)
Connect the phone on USB
Hold VOL-DOWN plus PWR buttons until the built-in 'Flashing' screen appears (should be immediate)
Confirm that the computer detected the phone over USB
If not, re-run the Samsung USB Driver install and select 'Repair')
run ODIN
Confirm that there is a yellow 'COM' status showing in the top-left.
If not, ODIN isn't connected to the phone!
Click on 'PIT' button and select the 'Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT.PIT'
UNCHECK the checkbox option for 'Re-partition'
Click on 'PDA' button and select the 'Continuum-Stock-DL17.tar.md5' file
Click START
You should see a steady stream of status updates in the bottom-left window as well as a progress bar in the top-left (labeled "factoryfs")
The update should take about 10 minutes, then the phone will reboot. The reboot takes about 2 minutes and there is nothing shown on the phone!
NOTES
I originally tried using the (DL17) 'SCH-i4000-VZW-Continuum.pit' but it didn't work.
I also tried it both with and without the re-partition option; neither worked
At one point the phone stopped being recognized on USB. I simply re-ran the Samsung USB Driver install and selected 'Repair'. Then the phone was recognized again.
Hello XDA!
So, idiot that I am, I decided today would be a great time to root my Galaxy S III (SGH-T999N version). It was running Jellybean 4.3, so it had fewer root options than other, older Jellybean versions, but I still found a root file on here. I put it into USB debugging mode, downloaded the driver, Odin, and the root file. I also backed the phone up on Kies, and have that on my PC., I did everything right, and... it failed. I tried again without doing anything to the phone (read: kept it in download mode), but it failed again with a different root file. So, I turned it off, sad that I wasn't able to root it, and I came upon the dreaded 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again' screen.
After hours of searching, I saw two different solutions: downloading the 4.3 OS from online, and using Odin to flash that to the phone, or using Kies to reformat the phone. I've been trying Kies, but Kies 3 isn't recognizing the phone, and won't allow me to restore or to reformat the phone. I'm still waiting on the download of Jellybean 4.3 to finish so that I can try that (Odin HAS been recognizing the phone). While I wait, I wanted to know if other users have had similar problems that they've solved, or where I've gone wrong, and what I can fix.
As for additional details:
- I CAN put the phone into Download mode. I CANNOT do a factory reset through Vol. Up+Home+Power
- The status screen with 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again' also has this information at the top:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999N
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 0
BOOTLOADER AP SWAREV: 1
- The phone is carried by Metro-PCS
Thanks in advance!
Okay, turns out the downloaded Jellybean 4.3 OS did the trick. For future people who run into this issue:
1. Have Odin 3.07 or higher downloaded (Odds are that you have this due to your phone's current state).
2. Download a copy of the OS you want from here: samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I535 Go to the dropdown menu on the left-hand side, and select your phone. Don't know/remeber your phone's identifier? Open up the back, remove the battery, and there should be a white sticker with your phone's model at the top. WARNING! Unless you plan to pay, these downloads will take a while. Do this when you can have your computer on for 4+ hours.
3. Once the download is complete, unzip the file, and place it in a location that you can easily find with Odin.
4. Open Odin, and make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset time are the only options checked. If there are other options selected, uncheck them and proceed.
5. Click the "PDA" button, and select your copy of the Android OS from where it was stored. Assuming everything has gone correctly, a message should appear in the Odin status box along the lines of "Check MD5... Do not unplug the cable...". Wait for the message "Leave CS..." to appear before proceeding.
6. Once "Leave CS..." has appeared, put your phone into Download mode (Turn it off, then restart by holding down the Vol. Down, Home, and Power keys until you get a screen that has informed you that you are in download mode.). Then, plug your usb cable into your PC/Laptop, and then into the USB outlet on the phone.
7. Once Odin has noted that your phone is attached, you can press "Start", and assuming all steps have been followed correctly, the new OS should download, and your phone will reboot, fully functional. If you are lucky like me, it will even have kept all of your settings!
I've been online all day trying to find a way to restore my phone after my brother installed cyanogenmod on it. It's not showing on odin and I am getting really upset. Its a note 2 from koodo and I've only had it for two days. (I got it as a birthday gift and my bro thought that cyanogen would be "cool" Can someone give me a foolproof step by step guide on restoring my phone to default.

The international LTE variant of the Samsung (KRX:005935) Galaxy S4 with the model number GT-I9505 recently received the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware update. Users who have already updated their Galaxy S4 handsets to the new I9505XXUFNA1 build can now root their devices, which will allow them to install custom ROMs whenever they are available.
Android hacker Chainfire has come up with an Auto-Root package complete with a SuperSU fix, which addresses the issues that some users had reported with the leaked KitKat firmware build for the Galaxy S4. Here is how to use the Auto-Root package to gain root access on the Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Rooting a device allows users to have complete access to the device’s hardware resources and push the limitations that come with the stock firmware. Users should note that rooting the Galaxy S4 LTE GT-I9505 on Android 4.4.2 KitKat XXUFNA1 will void the device’s warranty. But, users can reclaim the warranty by re-installing the official firmware update again.
- The tutorial is only for the Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad-Core CPU with LTE).
- Users are recommended to back-up all data before rooting the device.
- The device should have at least an 80 percent charge left on the battery.
- USB drivers must be installed in the computer with USB Debugging enabled on the device to transfer files between the phone and the PC.
Note: International Business Times cannot be held responsible for anything that goes wrong. Users should proceed at their own risk.
Tutorial
Step 1: Download both CF-Auto-Root Android 4.4.2 Package and ODIN3, and extract the files to the computer.
[go to]:-download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
[go to]:-mega.co.nz/#!ZpYwTTKQ!nZJy2vsi6k48GKc_IA78fGpo78k_j0YbFI21NYj6eo8
Step 2: Power off the handset and put it in Download mode by pressing and holding down the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together. After a warning screen appears, press the Volume Up button to enter Download mode.
Step 3: Run Odin3 v3.09.exe as an Administrator while the phone is Download mode, and connect the Galaxy S4 to the PC via USB cable. If connected successfully, a message showing “Added!!” will appear in Odin’s message box.
Step 4: Now, click on the AP button, and select the CF-Auto-Root file that was extracted in Step 1.
Step 5: In Odin, check the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” options.
Step 6: Click on the Start button in Odin to begin the flashing process.
Step 7: Once the process is complete, the Galaxy S4 will restart and a PASS message with green background will appear in the left-most box at the top of Odin.
You can now unplug the USB cable to disconnect the handset from the PC.
