i have 2 devices one wich i havent done anyting with and the other i have rotted and also put in another rom.
Can i somehow copy the orignal rom from the untouched phone?
Thanks
Hi.
If your device is rotten I think it's nothing to do.
Seriously now...
Do you have two i9305 devices?
You have to look up what kind of Baseband you have.. Look in Settings -> Scroll down to About there it say basaband.
Mine is I9305XXALI9. My unit is from Sweden.
Then go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and register on the site.
Go to Firmware and fill in the form down the site. The last choice is dependent on your country. Press send and a list of firmwares appear.
Download your firmware.
Unzip and install via Odin -->>>> After that you are back to stock and no root. But you have to run triangle away if you do this because of waranty issues.
Good luck!

Hi ,
My girlfriend has had her galaxy s for about 4 months i recently flashed darkys rom onto it, with no problems (excellent rom btw), but now the phone has started doing menu and back on its own randomly making it impossible to do anything on it for longer than a few minutes , its like the soft keys are being pressed (but they arent of course).
I've had a google and came to the conclusion its a hardware fault and not software (ive tried factory reset / re-flashing roms/ kernels) but now i have the problem i cant send the phone back to tmobile with a custom firmware so is there anywhere i can download tmobile firmware and stock kernel to make it like when she got it ?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
In the General chat, there is a link to all the stock roms. Select the one you want and install that one. I am on t mobile in the uk and my code is TMU so that will most likely be fine for you.
By the way - Its exactly what I did last month and they fixed it fine for me with no questions...

hi thanks for the quick response , ive already installed a stock firmware but when the phone boots up it doesnt do the tmobile logo now, plus the firmware i have installed, i'm not sure if thats ever been available on tmobile , which firmware did you send your phone back to them with if you dont mind me asking ?
Hi,
I used the JP1 stock rom here. I remember now that once I installed the stock one I used the Kies registry hack to put the latest t-mobile firmware on there. Then it was branded T-Mobile again. The only problem is that now kies has been updated the Registry hack may not work.
If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help?
CtC
I would blame the rom before the hardware and want a wipe to a very clean phone and install a stock rom .
You cannot download TMobile firmware you need somebody to give it to you unless you backed up your original firmware .
The only way to get TMobiles firmware would be to downgrade your phone to stock Eclair then use Kies to update as normal to Froyo branded TMobile or if that failed use the registry patch .
Fix on a non stock rom is going to depend on the guy that picks the phone up and the problem .

"If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help? "
It would be brilliant if you could do that, how can you send it though ?
@ jjegan i have completely wiped the phone, changed the firmware to 2.1update1 same problem still exists with the soft keys randomly pressing themselves thanks anyway .
can any one give me some advice about making this phone look as stock uk tmobile as possible before i send it back ?
Hi if someone can help id really apprteciate it. Dunno why this is confusing me so much.
Anyway I want to put stock uk firmware on my galaxy s so I can sell. Pretty sure it was the unlocked stock firmware.
I tried doing the reg hack on kies - it finds update and then says device version wrong.
I tried using spooffw - for some reason it updates the pda ok but doesnt update phone/csc (click ok and it reverts back to whatever it was on before)
I tried installing JM1 from samfirmwares and whent into kies and again says cannot update on this device.
Can anyone tell me what I need to flash onto this bloody phone so I can get kies to upgrade to the oficial fw.
I would like to put on a 2.1 rom and then have kies upgrade then I know its stock. I downloaded jf3 but that didnt come with phone or csc ? where would I get them?
first of all its not a bloody phone
then why you want to use kies? you can flash a rom by odin easily, just do some study for how to flash a rom and proceed,
kies sometimes have strange behaviours, personally I never used kies after I tried it once
I take it you want not the stock rom but the rom provided by the phone provider .
Two routes one replace the original rom you saved .
two flash stock rom lower version than current rom on Kies . Use a method of spoofing the correct codes for the original product .
Kies only updates if the correct codes for product firmware device and hardware are showing . Once you go the unofficial flashing firmware route Kies may not find these codes until you find the correct codes .
Stock = Samsung firmware Original = network branded that came with the phone .

Hi flashing a rom isn't the problem but flashing a rom that makes my i9000 appear un tainted by custom roms etc is where I'm having the difficulty. I wanted to do the final update via kies then I would know that kies thinks my phone has genuine firmware. If it wont update via kies then this is a clear message that the phone has been tampered with and I may not get the money from the company.

You are right I want original firmware. Main problem is I have no idea what this would have been. I didn't make a copy as my first upgrade involved doing a kies reg hack before there were any custom roms and I stupidly didn't take note of what I was currently on. What I do know is that my phone has never had any operator logos or software on it. (unlike my gs2)
I have tried doing the reg hack on kies 2.0 but apparently thats not properly supported yet (can I use an older kies 1.5 or something? or will it ask to be upgraded?)
I have tried using spooffw but step 3 (where you set phone and csc) doesnt work, when you press ok is reverts back to whatever it had on before no matter the value you enter.
Does anyone know of an o2 stock firmware that has been uploaded somewhere? ideally with pit, csc modem and pda. then I can hopefully use odin and then confirm that all is ok in kies?
Or if I am going to go the spoof route (probably with kies 1.5 as 2 is not playing ball) does anyone know what values I should use for each?
Thanks
well on www.samfirmware.com there is a list right at the bottom for provider FW, maybe one of them is o2 firmware, check it and see if any of them stand out as the one you had firstly.
why do you need o2 firmware specifically ??
you can sell your phone with JPY 2.2.1 stock and no one would be the wiser .

jpy? so is that a firmware you could actually get on a device brought in uk? which specific download should I choose? Once downloaded and flashed if I connect to kies will it be able to do future updates?
EDIT woohoo I did as you said and used UK JPY found here
http://www.multiupload.com/PZNPALHVDW
and its now being picked up in kies saying latest firmware installed. Excellent now I can sell it without worrying.
bit sad it was definately the best phone ive owned and there still doesnt seem to be much out there that can push it to its limits (let alone the s2) still the extra screen size and better pixel layout are definately worth the upgrade.
Thanks everyone for your help.
If thats not it i uploaded O2 JPY within the last month linked in two posts .Dont know where though .Its probably mine on Sammy anyway .
Flashed direct as PDA via Odin . If problems after with modem . Unzip file extract modem flash file again as PDA and also the modem file is what i did .

Hi Guys,
i new here, so pordon me, if i done something stupid.
My SGSL is about 2 months old, and it have warranty of 3 years.
But i can't wait for 3 years than only try the GB firware,
So, i done that. (i mean flash the firware)
First, i try out the GB firmware of I9003XXKPE, (after that, i only know it can't revert to stock rom)
So, i look all over the forum to find the way to flash back Froyo but not luck at all.
Than, base on my 2 month leanning from XDA, i try the below,
1. PIT the phone
2. flash the XXKPE
3. flash again the stock rom of DXKB2
i get back my i9003DXKB2!!
so now, 1 unknow issus, will samsung warranty still valid?
yes it will. no one will ever know that you tried a little gingerbread.
just read this link --->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004622 and you will know how to reflash back your firmware version
and with regards to the warranty issue just read this link also --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174085
Okay! Hey there,
I am from India. One of my friends lost the "application" menu and hence went to the service center. He had XXKPE Firmware on the phone and they repaired the phone under warranty ( free of cost) and also he gave them the XXKPE FW files and they flashed that FW only for him...! IDK, it is luck or what!
Afaik the Sgs service centre in Chennai, they only ask for the purchase bill or a copy of it, and they didn't bother wot lies on the fon! My personal experience after messing up two brand new Galaxy Apollo & this one the very second wk of buying it!

OH common, Really? This issue was already written in the FAQ. Why can't people learn to read
Hey everyone i have had massive problems with the IMEI on my i9000 finally managed to flash back to stock ROM but im still getting no signal. The IMEI is fine and i have a backup of the efs folder saved. What files do i need in this folder as i will delete all of the contents then start again.
Thanks
If your still getting no signal but are not getting "No Service" then either the modem you flashed in the stock ROM is utter pants for specific handset so trying flashing a different modem or a different ROM altogether :/
But if a different modem or ROM doesn't fix it then you have a antenna problem... sorry bud
Hey mate,
Cheers for the reply. I will try a new ROM can you recommend any small ROM's that will work on my device? I don't know a great deal abour ROM's and flashing in general tbh.
I need to finish my guides badly! Then I'd just be able to point you towards them :/
But since their not... cause I've been lazy, please head over to SamMobile/ and create an account if you haven't already done and download the correct firmware for you i9000.
Getting the right firmware is difficult, it's even more difficult since I'm guessing you don't know the PDA build from what the phone was running originally... for example by phone when I got it was running I9000BVJV7 which is actually Android 2.3.3 for the UK and sim locked to Orange.
When you take into account that the Android version, the country and the carrier have an effect on the specific firmwares for two (on the face) identical phones you can begin to see how many millions of different firmwares there are out there just for one phone...
So just try your best and read all the helpful info on SamMobile. If you get really really stuck or if something nasty happens to the phone while flashing either come back to this thread or PM me and I will talk you through a recovery kit that will hopefully restore the phone to a stock ROM (but not official stock ROM).
Since you're new to flashing please be reminded flashing can completely kill a phone to the point of no return, having said that I must have flashed a million times in both ClockworkMod and Odin but that doesn't mean death can't happen at any time.
Thanks mate i really am grateful for the help. I will give that a go and see what i can find.
Downloaded all of the vodaphone rom's and all of the orange roms. The device was used on vodaphone and im still getting the same error :/ any more ideas?
This is probably a very common problem but I have unusual circumstances. I have a Galaxy Mini that I bought in Thailand, I flashed CWM and installed the "Democracy" ROM and had no problems at all with the GPS. I decided to go back to the stock firmware, only problem was I didn't have it! So I went here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586) I didn't see the code that's printed on my phone's box on this page so I FOOLISHLY downloaded a European firmware (I figured it would be better to have writing in English than Thai).
Ever since I flashed that via Odin my GPS can't even find satellites even without locking on. I can only figure that this change to European firmware has changed a necessary file for the GPS. I went back to the Democracy ROM and still no GPS.
I just can't seem to find my original firmware that is printed on my phone's box (GT-S5570AABTHL), I didn't get the original PDA or CSC code (LESSON LEARNED!). The closest I can find is here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4933
I do remember when I was running original firmware it was S5570B and that is the only result under the S5570B Thailand option. I can't figure out why under "Region" it says Cyprus, Greece when it's titled Thailand.
I just don't know if simply flashing back to the Thai firmware is going to solve my problem or not, I don't even know if this is the right firmware! I would download it and try it but I'm currently on 2G speeds so it will take me 3 hours to download the file just to test it, so I was hoping for a response from this site before I put myself through the agony of the long wait.
Am I on the right path here? Any help will be severely appreciated.
Flash the original country's software i.e. from where you bought it. B'coz if you flash another country's firmware, your GPS wont work. Kies also creates problem (in updates...) in most of these cases.
