[I9003] [HOWTO] flash Samsung I9003 Galaxy SL Firmware

kkrraazzyy · Mar 23, 2011

Since there is no guide for flashing the Samsung galaxy S gt i9003 I have thought to make a thread on it so here it goes

1. Download and run odin.
2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit
4. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.
5. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.
6. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.
7. After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
8. Click PDA button and select this file: I9003xxxxx-xxx...-PDA-low-CL890053.tar.md5
9. Click PHONE button and select this file: MODEM_I9003xxxxx_REV_00_CL889972.tar.md5
10. Click CSC button and select this file: GT-I9003-CSC-xxxxxx.tar.md5
11. Remove the battery, then enter Device into Download Mode again.
12. Click Start button to flash these files to phone.
13. Do not touch anything till you see PASS on the program window.
14. Just do a factory reset after flashing using recovery

IF there is only a file of the f.w i.e. pda file then do NOT use a pit file for flashing just select the pda and flash it

I have also attached the Odin and .pit file for download

Enjoy flashing and do at your own risk

@kkrraazzyy, is it Indian release version of the Firmware for I9003? Then its worth downloading.

What is the source of this FW , where did you get this from its not available on samsung website. Kies is not reporting this update either.

@trip
No. This is generic European version. Indian version will be like I9003DDxxxx.
I will not advice any Indian friends here to flash this as there is no Indian firmware available and you could not give your phone for service in case if something goes wrong.

Source is www.samfirmware.com and you can trust the OP. Correct me if I am wrong.

See the attached screenshot of www.samfirmware.com, its not even available there hence I was wondering where did he get it from.

My main concern is that samsung is not giving any info as to what is new or what bugs are fixed/updated etc.

Android is an open source platform & samsung should have the courtesy to post a change log on its updates.

Yes a changelog for every firmware update is necessary.

yerfdes · Mar 27, 2011

sir can anyone help me with my problem? posted above this message...

rex4u · Mar 27, 2011

@yerfdes
Right now there are no Asian firmwares available. You will have to wait for some time

Worked

Thanks, I tried the XXKB3 and it worked

. Wouldn't have tried if Kies was working properly. After many failed attempts and wasted bandwidth tried this method. Initially my phone didn't go to download mode and instead restarted. But Kies messed up my upgrading to firmware and got stuck in download mode. Then followed your method and it worked. Have no problem using European firmware. I too would like to know from where you got the ROM

cause it's not listed in samfirmware.com
