I just found my first phone ever and decided to start it up. I found out the password and decided to factory reset it since I’m planning on selling it. However, ever since I resetted it, it has been stuck on the same “Installing applications” screen (see image). I tried the volume up+power button+home button tactic and chose factory reset and then boot system, but it won’t budge. Anybody know how to solve this?

    Hello! I clicked on the second link you sent but when I click “Install Samsung USB Drivers” there are no links available to download. I also can’t seem to extract the Odin files. I’m really lost since I haven’t done this before and I tried looking elsewhere but it seems like really complex processes. Any other links you can direct me to?

      That’s link rot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot I warned you that it’s expected for such an old device. If noone mirrors the links in the thread you are out of luck to find old roms. Maybe you can try to message the original uploaders, maybe they still have the files on some old drive. Maybe look at the end of the thread.
