Samsung Flash Guide For S5230, S8000, S8300 And More!
by Darkforest on Oct.13, 2009, under Samsung Flash Guides

***Warning!***
Make sure your phone dose not have sim lock before you try and flash. Type *#7465625# and make sure the SIMLOCK is OFF, if it is ON you MUST take it to a shop and have it removed or you will freeze your phone!

First thing to always remember, is BACK UP YOUR PHONE, Pictures,wallpapers,music, and any contacts you have saved on your phone. I am not responsible for any damage to you, your phone, computer, or lost of data in this process. This is a guideline intended for professional technicians.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
What you will need:
1. USB cable that came with your phone.

2. New Samsung NPS

Install this software first, it contains the drivers for your phone, and has every thing you need for backup.

3. Multiloader 5.56
4. New firmware

—————————–Now you are ready to begin———————————–
1. Make sure Samsung PC Studio is installed and communicates with your phone. And unpack the firmware in a folder you can easily find it.
2. Remove the Sim and MicroSD from your phone and replace the battery.
3. MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS OFF AND NOT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER.
4. Pixon and JET users : Hold down the “Volume -” button on the left or right side differs, and the “Camera” button on the right, then press the “Power” button = all three buttons need to be pressed together. Your phone should start up into a red\blue on black bootloader screen.) For U900 While holding the no. 9 button on the phones key pad, tap the power button, the phone screen will come on black with a red stripe that says “Download”
5. Now run MultiLoader v5.56

6.Plug the phone up to the computer.

———————————Multiloader Steps——————————————

1. Select the radio button Example: U900 MSM6275/MSM6280, FOR S5230 BRCM2133, FOR JET LSI6410
2. Select Boot Change
3. Full Download
4. Master rom

5. Then click Boot, and select the boot files from the unpacked firmware folder.
6. Select Amss
**NOTE** You must also select “APPS” if you are flashing a “JET” **NOTE**

7. Rsrc1
8. Rsrc2(Low) Do not use (Mid).r2c. On the JET may there may only be one option (Warning! phone may not restart if you select mid)

9. Select the Factory FS file.

***FOTA and ETC fields are left blank.****

When you are done it should look like this.

10. Click the Port Search button, it will find your phone and show the com port is ready.

11. Click the download button and be patient, this will only take a few minutes to complete.

12. When it’s finished, it will show “ok complete”.

13. Unplug the phone from the USB cable, reinstall the sim and SD card.
*** NOTE Some models and some will not, if yours does not restart at this point, take out the battery a few seconds then reinsert it. NOTE ***

14. Now with every thing is complete, You can perform a hard reset by typing *2767*3855# into the hand set (but not necessary.)
15. When the phone resets type *#1234# into your handset to check your new firmware ver.

***NOTE!***
If your phone fails the flash for any reason, DO NOT TRY AND RESTART IT!!!!! Restart the computer and try the flash again! YES YOU MUST RESTART THE COMPUTER AND FOLLOW MY PREP GUIDE (Beginners guide.)
**NOTE**

If your phone camera does not work after the flash:

Our Moderator DF3 Provided this handy pieces of information.

You need to perform the camera firmware update, Admin codes have been changed on recent FW:
a. Type *#197328640# in the Idle mode, then you can reach the test mode.
b. Select [6] Video
c. Select [3] Camera Firmware update
[Please Wait] will be displayed.

Wait a few minutes then [Please Wait] will be changed to [SUCCESS]

Thank you DF3 For your help!
