i have to send my phone back today i got it from mobiles.co.uk a carphonewarehouse company i am in uk. if anyone has the same can u please tell me original rom version and radio i know how to restore everything but need to make sure i am putting original stock for this phone, i am a plonker i got carried away flashing rom and didnt check phone info before hand
I'm currently on Doc's v9 JPO with speedmod10F, (after following the pdf guide on that thread).
I have an Orange UK SGS, i neglected to make a backup of my original ROM when i got the phone as i flashed it as soon as i got it.
I have been onto a site that has all the original firmware but i really don't know which one to install, it lists a load of ROMs unders Europe but none are specific to Orange UK.
I have to send it back as there's a problem with the touchscreen registering 'ghost' touches and i don't want to give them any reason to not fix the phone because of a hardware issue.
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 .

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 ?
My Galaxy Tab currently on Euro firmware since I flashed to it inorder to have the call function to it. But now my phone have problem and Im about to send back to Samsung to get it fix, but before I wanted to redo my fw to it original which is Tmobile US stock fw so that doesn't have the phone function in it. Hope someone can point me to the direction. Thanks in advanced
Hi,
As some of you may know, Lollipop has came out on what is the closest thing to a T-Mobile phone, the W8 has started getting that update.
There is a thread that exists on how you can port the W8 to your T-Mo and run Lollipop right now.
I'm in a bit of a different situation. I have a W8 phone but on Rogers, which is the only carrier in Canada that has been left out because they are not releasing 5.0.1 but are holding out for 5.0.2. I'm getting the S6 edge this week and dont want to wait until Rogers move their butt. I wanted to know, does anybody know how i can remove just the CSC files from the stock rom and be able to flash on my Rogers phone? The post quoted above shows how to do it but it also adds a few steps to port on T-Mo phone, does anybody know what steps i have to disregard?
FYI for anybody in my situation, i found a stock rom in Note 4 International section that does what I wanted
