Hey everyone im not sure if this is covered in another topic or forum but i recently started flashing roms on my Cappy(recently did assonance 5.2 and LOVE IT!) but right after i flashed this newest one i put i also got a hold of a tmobile sim card to go ahead and unlock my phone...now since ive done this at least 3-4 times a day i get the message "sim card removed. please reboot phone" or something like that...is anyone else having this problem and if so plz tell me how you fixed it or if this is in another forum post a link. Im kinda thinking i may just need a new sim card....
Could be a bad ROM flash. Backup apps and data, wipe and re-flash.

Do you use airplane mode a lot? I know some modems have an issue coming out of airplane and having SIM problems. Try flashing another modem. JK4 is known to be one of the more stable ones. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867309
Just flash the zip from CWM Recovery. (NOTE: These are for I9000 based roms like Assonance or Serendipity.)
Ok thats what i was thinking it could have been that but wasnt sure. Do you think re flashing my modem rom will fix it or will i need to reflash the whole rom? I have only tried 3 different modem roms and so far i like the tl3 since it has hsupa enabled...have you used jk4 alot? and how did it work for you?
Just to give you guys an update...i reflashed jk4 with CWM and ive only had the error message show up ONCE! So thanks for the help on that fellas. While im at it would you guys recommend any tweaks or anything to go with jk4 or assonance?
Hi, i would love to have gingerbread but i bought a 2nd hand gtab 7 and its on region xsg and i live in Australia, it also does not state a pda or csc. When i plug it into kies current firware is blank and there is no option to update. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
You need to find out, is it a gt-p1000, or a gt-p1010... If it doesn't use a sim card its a cdma tab and there aren't many roms to flash. If its a p1010 then you have a wifi only tab. No real way to play with it as there aren't many, if any, roms...
If you have a g1000.....
You need to go to the developement section and find a rom you like but before you flash, use the bootloader check.apk found in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 to see if the bootloaders are locked. Then I'd suggest going to the rom upgrade tutorial found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990 .
You will find in this thread all the things you need to upgrade, ODIN, m rpit file and the safe rom.
From there you should be able to flash any rom you want whether its Overcome Kratos, Boca or any other. Just make sure its not a cdma,p1000l/n rom or for the p1010. These will brick your tab if you try to flash these...
If you have a CDMA tab then you will need to do some research as theres not many roms out there, I can't help as I've never flashed one of these and my knowledge is sketchy at best...
P1010 tab means no roms for you....
Good luck....
Thanks i have the P1000 but must i be wary that i am on region xsg and cannot display a pda or csc code?
Not really sure, if you root your device thn use a root explorer to find and backup your efs folder to your external(removable) memory card. It should have data inside that is your csc, imei and a few other things you might like to keep.
At the end of the day its really up to you if you wanna try to flash or not, I offer no guarantees as neither does the chefs, its flash at your own risk... There's help out there if you need it, however, as I tell everyone else, read up on what you need to do, then when you know, reread it again. Take it slow, do 1 step at a time so you won't miss anything (you'll feel a right **** if you don't untick or tick something in ODIN you were supposed to and it hangs at startup).
Also, if you know what the stock FROYO rom was, grab a copy and keep it on your pc. Its a hell of a lot easier to have everything you need at your beck and call then it is to have to find and download later...
I leave it in your hands...
Your Excellent ROM Flashing Explanation
Thanks for this simple, cogent response on flashing a ROM for the various Tab flavors. My head usually starts swimming when I try to understand how to do the deed, but your brief couple of paragraphs here lay out the process perfectly.
-- A happy P-1010 owner. No whining. It is what it is.
Hi guys, I know I need to make this short but I want it to be clear anyway. This is crazy I wanted nothing to do with smartphones 3-4 days ago because all the carriers rip us off with huge bills to get them. But low and behold when my cheap flip phone died after 3 years of loyal daily work a friend of mine offered me his Galaxy S i9000m for a good price. Started playing with the device and having a strong software/computer background started having a lot of fun with all the applications and was amazed with the possibilities (Networking, ipcam whatever) that just kept multiplying until I fell upon applications that needed something called gingerbread... Anyways I can tell you I learned a ****load in 48hours...
So I installed Samsung Kies, it found me the update and put it on for me.. (2.3.3 Gingerbread) then the nightmare started. The phone would boot, and would randomly reboot a random number of times until it could finally stay on and this could last from 2-30 minutes. So I thought, I'll just do a factory reset, to realise that its "STUCK" in 2.3.3 once its updated no going back to 2.1 or 2.2 easily.
Started looking around for ways to downgrade, and EVERY SINGLE LINK redirects to these 'mass download' sites that end up saying the firmwares were taken down for copyright issues. So desperate to find something, I fell upon a multiple CSC FROYO 2.2 firmware for the i9000 and was able to flash that in download mode the phone worked fine, except for me being very curious about the fact that I lost the "M" in my model description...
So started reading this thread(Mostly because I had already realised that with this non i9000m rom I had lost the 3 button DOWNLOAD MODE which i Had before) **** : http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-a...flashing-darky-v9-gt-i9000m-minimal-risk.html
Got it rooted, got clockwork on, never managed to get the voodoo kernel working had errors in CWM.. so I was ready to give up until my eyes caught the
"*#*#2663#*#*
Then click Touch key FW update"
Which I thought would be neat to try.
NIGHTMARE, now BACK and MENU are dead, I understand that this is because I am running a non i9000m ROM and that updating the firmware rendered them unusable.
I came accross a post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869492
Where this problem is adressed, I pretty much understand everything that should be done to get this back on its feet (right now the phone is still working I can use it at least 75% of its functions work except no back and menu)
Where I need your help : I'm not too sure how to attack this the right way, since I can't get into download mode I understand flashing is now more complicated to accomplish and now that I know that I need a i9000m firmware how can I find that...
Sorry for the long post I know I'm a noob here but I wanted to prove I had done all my homework to get where I'm at now seeking help from you guys!
Thanks a lot
Mat
By the way : Galaxy S GT i9000m currently on a 2.2 i9000 rom, my carrier is BELL. (Canada)
So there's no way of updating to 2.3.3 using Kies?
The only thing I can think of is getting a USB jig from ebay, which makes the i9000 go to download mode instantly. Good luck!
Alright, so I used CHECK FUS, and was able to get the i9000m stock BELL firmware YAY
now the help I need is to flash it correctly and find a way to get past the no download mode problem, would be very appreciated,
thanks guys
No, similar minds Sepharite, I also thought of redoing the Kies method, and then going back again if I needed to but now Samsung Kies says "Your device does not support firmware updates through Kies" Wow.. useful app, a samsung native app can't even detect it's own fricking hardware.
Thanks
UPdate : Was able to restore the 3 button "DOWNLOAD MODE" with a little tutorial online. Now I tried flashing my i9000m with ODIN, it flashed all the way and I get a i9000M logo now but it gets to the splash S logo and keeps rebooting never gets into the actual android setup is there something I did wrong?
In Odin all I put was the "BELL i19000m stock ROM" under PDA and wrote it. The device rebooted after flash but there still seems to be something I haven't done right.
Thanks guys
Please help guys, I know some of you out there have got this stuff nailed down!
Did you flash with a 1 file ROM or a 3 file ROM?
Using the UGKG3 ROM that you can fine here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Place the 3 files in their respective places (PDA, PHONE, CSC), for the PIT file, select the 512 pit file that should have come with ODIN, connect the phone, wait for ID:COM to turn yellow, and press Start.
That should get you going again. You may get apps that force close, so you'll need to delete the apps data and then reinstall them.
Hey thanks a lot man ya my flash was a SINGLE FILE, I bricked it yesterday trying to flash a different ROM since I had nothing to lose, I just got it working again on the old 9000 ****ty version that my back and menu keys don't work...
Now for some reason the USB JIG doesn'T work anymore after a couple of uses... could something have been damaged by doing it many times?
And your original roms section they are all unavailable due to copyright did you check the links before sending them?
When you say get the stock roms, I was able to get the UGKG3 file, but what about the versions? When I look at the north american section of the 2.2 version
UGKC1/UGKC1/BMCKC1/Sbl
UGJL2/UGJL2/BMCJL2/Sbl
UGJK3/UGJK3/BMCJK3
which one of the three suits me?
Thanks for your help, and if I get this running and go back and update my touch key firmwares with the right "Vibrant / 9000M" roms I should get them working again?
PS : I'm also very preoccupied by the fact that the USB JIG fix doesn'T seem to pop download mode anymore because this version of the ROM that I have has Download mode not working with the 3 button method. :S I wonder whats going on, but basically if I get your ROMS working the first time It'll fix everything but if it crashes then I lose the galaxy haha
Not sure why the USB jig doesn't work anymore. I have a couple and have only tested them on my phone to make sure they work, but they did not work on a Galaxy S II that I tried it on.
I just checked and the download link for the UGKG3 ROM at multiupload (downloading from multiupload), still works (you need to enter the captcha phrase).
The site megaupload was shut down by the US gov't, so that one won't work.
EDIT: UGKC1/UGKC1/BMCKC1/Sbl is the latest Froyo release from Bell. That's what mine and my wife's gt-i9000m phones came with.
She's still running it on hers.
Ok sorry for all these posts, basically when you said UGKG3 you want me to get the 2.3.3 ROM on ? Is that right? What if I Want to put on 2.2 to be sure I have no trouble with it since I'm in all this mess because the Kies update to Gingerbread had my phone in a bad state.
Thanks a lot by the way!
Sorry your post refreshed right after I did mine. Alright cool so I'll try the one you say your wife is running, I had made myself a JIG with a stock Samsung wire, it was working fine with a 300K resistor and I decided to solder it on and then it stopped working after that.... maybe the actual "usb plug" is damaged from the soldering heat I guess I'd have to try another wire, but anyway I'll try to download the 2.2 I just got the UGKG3 3 FILE rom downloaded one of the links did work!
But I'm a little worried about 2.3.3
I'll try to see if i can download the 2.2 first.
I mean basically... these roms shouldn't jam during transfer i Guess
One other thing I see different confusing information, is it important for me to click 'update bootloader" with these stock roms since these files contain an 'SBL' ? Because both times I bricked it was with an "update bootloader checked" firmware update trying to put the ARIES 3 button method fix as a boot.bin and sbl.bin
Fanks..
Files with SBL in the name already have the bootloader included in the PDA file, so "update bootloader" should NOT be checked.
That reassures me, because the only times it did jammed was when the bootloader was checked! THanks a lot blackrose i'll go out and buy another usb cable because I destroyed mine making my JIG. And I'll try yours out. I was reading a lot on another thread and found this one guy who flashed the JL2 one to save his keys instead of the C1 you said your wife was running, whats the main difference between those two and which one should I start with?
Update : I got a new wire, flashed the KC1 version of the firmware, everything goes fine, I did a repartition with the 512 PIT, it reboots the phone, loads all files in a prompt in yellow and there are no errors that appear, the phone reboots after writing 'successful update' and then goes to the galaxy logo and jams there and does the ONE vibrate, PAUSE, 2 vibrate on a black screen forever. The advantage of having successfully flashed a 9000M ROM allows me to have access to my DOWNLOAD MODE 3 button method, but ever since I flashed that 2.2 i9000 XXJP2 (seems its a euro version) off a torrent I found on the web (When I was desperate to find a functioning 2.2 working version) it seems as though it doesn'T want to boot with any other rom than that one, because all the 9000M roms that I've tried so far flash correctly, and the logo actually changed from i9000 to i9000M on the startup, but they just don't boot.. what could be missing it doesn't seem to be much???
Thanks Mat
If any of this can help, the device was rooted, I was following the darky's mod i9000M guide so I had previously installed the CLOCKWORK MOD and that's as far as I got because my eyes caught the FIRMWARE TOUCH KEY UPDATE which ruined my keys.
Could any of this have screwed something that stops my other roms from booting?
Thanks guys I really want to get this phone up and working again as I don't have much money and am afraid I'll have to cancel with my phone company if I just can'T get this running. I am also willing to make a significant donation to whoever can help me.
You in Canada right? Where abouts?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Quebec province
Alright, if this can help anybody my whole problme is solved.
I flashed the ****JL2**** the KC1 did not boot, the JL2 did.
Once inside JL2, I was able to update my TOUCH KEY FIRMWARE *#*#2663#*#* and everything went back to normal
I have no idea why the KC1 does not work, bugs me out.
Hi, Im admittedly a bit thick when it comes to flashing, although I've done my sgs a few times now. But this time its much harder.
I had a go at slim ics and no phone (modem / network) and then a few others
Ive spent 2 days again reading up trying to remember stuff, but to be honest, its hard. And although I managed to reflash a really old set of files I had with odin and got it working again, as soon as I try a new rom- its back to square one.
I have to criticise a little the developers and posters even though I'm totally grateful and wouldnt even know where to start with all the work that they do, so total respect and thanks The problem (with me ) is not understanding the language. i.e. the phrases and one word explanations and even lack of plain english or info. Especially region stuff.
Sorry to be picky, but just a little friendly observation .
So Im hoping some kind soul will spoon-feed me with a link to a rom + csc files I need to flash a new-ish lite rom. I really like the new ICS But MUST work for UK. I understand I need 'XXJPY' and XEU (is that GB)but can never get a separate modem, pit ? to work. I'm fine with various processes of it and following instructions.
I think there's also a general issue with many links now being dead (mega, file etc.) which doesnt help.
I still have imei and sim is OK, just doesnt work atm. I'm currently have a bit of a botched mix of android ver 2.3.7, for some strange reason i9000xxjvu, a 2.6.35 kernel running modver Cyan4tomorrow, with build gwk74.
But no working modem (with xxjvu) still, and its not that great to be honest.
Id just like a complete wipe and a good working nice lightweight upto date flash.
Thank you for reading and any reply.
Just a quick update.
Save anyone typing. I've managed to sort it, all by myself.
Oh the relief -
What I did was revert back to crappy old froyo or whatever, had to upgrade the boot loader used busybox (pit) odin, to change change it to allow me to apply the slim.zip Wouldnt let me before even renaming to update.
So then installed slim ics.
But no baseband again!!
so this time installed, copied, jpy.zip I found somewhere.
And it works on ics slim (thanks dev's) and now have a working phone as well
JPY was CRUCIAL for UK modem.
Now I know its easy, I hope this post will be here to read in six months when I try and do it all over again.
Hi, I hope you guys can help me get this phone back to usable state. Recently I got a S4 Active i537 that was stuck on ATT logo, so I did a little research on how to restore the stock firmware to get it working again and came across with various threads; I finally downloaded the I537UCUBML2 stock rom and used Odin 3.07 to flash the files all worked fine except the BL_I537UCUBML2_2244695_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar but th phone booted anyways so I thinked that was the end of my problems. But after putting a sim the phone did not get any signal so I checked the about screen on settings and found that the IMEI and BaseBand were blank.
I did another search to fix that and finally could make the imei and baseband came again by flashing the Modem.bin 50,791kb file found in the GPS IMEI FIX THREAD but after getting signal I realized the phone was completely muted and calls were not working, at first I believed it was a hardware problem but now Im pretty sure that it must be some software issue because it wont even play music, ringtones. When trying to open a mp3 it shows a message saying Unsupported.
Back when it was stuck on ATT logo it was making the att boot sound so Im pretty sure that the problem its in the software itself. Please help me find the correct rom/firmware to get it working again.

Flash the NE3 firmware so you'll be on 4.4.2 and see if that fixes things. If not, report back.
Would you please share the link to that? I don't want to mess this phone even worse by downloading wrong files. Thank you
