Give me half an hour. I have another lead. I'm going to check it first this time. Seems to be a lot of debauchery with this firmware.

 

[Bg260]

Running low on options. Extract and try this.

 

[Rayz Mond]

No. Where can I find it?

 

[Rayz Mond]

Ah i see it

 

[Bg260]

That didn't work?

 

[Rayz Mond]

I havent downloaded it yet. I put the file into the pit slot. and under AP i select the same file ive been using?
OF8_full.tar.md5

 

[Rayz Mond]

It started, then failed at system.img.ext4

I downloaded the G530T1 file from the site in my last post to look at it since I have never done a 4part Odin flash before. I'm not sure if I set it up correctly but it looked OK. I don't have your model phone to try so don't know if it will work.
It might be something to try if nothing else is working

After extracting the firmware from the zip file, I checked each of the four boxes one at a time and let it check and load it's portion. Took a while.
Should look like this before you flash and also contains the Pit file.
Not sure why it's rotating the image,sorry

 

[Rayz Mond]

Thanks man. im also downloading a firmware atm. yea so far nothing has worked. is the pit file in the zip file?

 

[Bg260]

Another half hour. One more try. Otherwise.......

Yes

 

[Rayz Mond]

same file Bg?

 

[Rayz Mond]

okay. i will extract them both to the desktop, so their easier to use. Do i piut the file under AP first or the pit first

 

[Rayz Mond]

Also my phone no longer has recovery mode. it just shows an exclamation mark and says an error has occured while updating. It wasnt me to use a software to recover it but i dont have a serial number

 

[Rayz Mond]

wants*

 

[Rayz Mond]

jfalls. my phone has an 8gb internal memory, but when i select just AP, it says its too big on my phone wants it gets to system.img.ext4

 

[Rayz Mond]

although its only like 2 gb

 

[Bg260]

I found what may be the original T1 firmware. Looked in order. I'm uploading it to my drive as we speak .If jfalls method doesn't work we can try it.

 

[Rayz Mond]

for the SM-G530T1 correct

With the firmware I linked, select BL first and let it load,then AP, CP, and CSC.

 

[Rayz Mond]

ah ok. I did AP first. but i havent tried flashing yet. every time it fails, what happens to the phone?

Shouldn't make it any worse than it is now. As a last ditch effort, look at post #323.
He is using the G530T model number and a SN that he got that works it. It will successfully flash the T-Mobile firmware on your device.
