Hey,
I searched the forums but can't seem to find anything about resetting to original state.
I need to send back my Vario/qtek9100 for repair, but i think i don't get any service if they see i have updated my rom.
I have a keyboard problem, the '.' and the 'M' are not working anymore.
Is there a way to reset the phone to original NL rom locked state?
thnx!

Is there a way to completely reset my I9000? Like the way when you turn it on for the first time. I'm scared that i wont be able to update to official Froyo when it comes out, because i've edited the productcode to get JM2. So, is it possible or not? Thanks in advance!
bummmmpppp
You can't return it to the official state if you have flashed it with a different firmware than the orginal. You can always try to find the orginal ROM for the phone. Chek Richthofen's JM1,6 an 7 threads for CSC etc.
You can always edit the registry to match your orginal product codes to receive the official 2.2 update. Ofcourse you need to remember or find the codes your phone had.
Yeah, thats what i thought too... if someone has the original ones for JF3 could you please post 'em here. Thanks.
Can't you just change the product code in the registry when an update comes out? I think when you do that, Kies will just show you the update and after you flashed it the product code of your phone will be change in the one you entered in the registy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hard Reset

One way to completely kill everything in your phone before you flash it, is to do a 'hard reset'. This wipes everything from the internal SD card, and you lose everything back to what the phone is like in it's original state, with just the ROM only and the SD card formatted.
Enter the following code into your 'dialer' (as if you're calling someone)
*2767*3855#
Then watch it clean the phone. When it reboots, then you can do your flash after following the ROM maker's instructions.
Hope that helps...
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?

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 ,
Currently i'm using the stock rom from vodafone portugal, when i go to settings and chose restore defaults after rebooting i loose some settings like voicemail number and such.
I analised the csc file and it contains those settings.
Any idea how to fix this, i already reflashed the phone but after reseting it does the same thing.

Sometimes doing a factory restore on you phone ****s the rom. This has happend to me once I tried to sell my phone and restore it, I had to flash a new rom and I never worried about going back to stock Portugal TMN rom I orignally had.
By the way, I remember my froyo rom from TMN Portugal had a great stock ringtone which I loved, can you tell me what is the default ringtone from your rom? XD
Help!
I bought a O2X and didn't know he was blocked. When attempting to unlock the following message appeared:
"This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked"
Can anyone help me? He came blocked by the operator Movistar.
Tks
Return it and ask for a refund?
Sent using gum and some sticks just as McGyver would
Change sim card, turn on device while holding volume down key, do a factory reset, flash a baseband which also does a factory reset.
Those are my tips.
it seems that the carrier locked it by imei... probably the phone was stolen from someone and the person "participate?!" it to the carrier / police...
solution? bring it to someone with an box and change the imei or clean it. i heard about some android phones when flashing some cooked rom they lost the imei but i dont know if that happend with p990..
Yeap... unintended change of imei does happen specifically when using CM roms, there is even a tutorial somewhere in the forum here on how to restore your original imei for o2x. So instead of restoring to original imei...you can use same technique to change the imei. Use the search function.
