[Q] [advice]Help with downgrading i9000

hey guys,
if this has been answered in forum someplace then please let me no and delete the thread but i am looking for a way to downgrade the samsung i9000 from the 2.1 update1 to the original 2.1. since i updated it it has added a load of portugese apps and now has the portugese network tmn splash screen. its made the phone buggy and slow.
does anyone know how to do this?
i'm in the UK btw so dont know why an update through kies should have put tmn branding on my phone...

just a quick bump

Wrong forum.
And you can downgrade to 2.1 because there is no 2.1 for this phone - only 2.1 update 1.

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 cannot be updated

Hello,
I have this phone and after trying to update it thru Kies I get this message:
This device's version cannot be updated I see also this numbers in the same window:
PDA:JM6 / PHONE::JM1 / CSC:JM4
I'm really new to this and I simply wanted to have Froyo on my phone. Is this possible? I really don't know what this number means. I live in Slovenia (Europe).
Thank you for any kind of advise.

Wait for Official Froyo to be released...You should get it...
However, If you want it right now, than use Ref. heck and see if that gives you...I am using JP6 Froyo , updated via Kies.

[Q] need help with roms and flashing?!

Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.
Thanks for any and all replies!

You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).
Then, you'll need to follow this thread

okay this is what ive been trying to do. i understand the instructions. but i cant locate the 7008 or 7004 rom. preferably 7008. i get the process though. thats clear enough.
i really appreciate the reply thanks so much!

Doesn't anyone know how I can get these roms? I'd think by now someone would have links posted and organized its been months... I need TmoUS 7004 or 7008...?? :/ I just wana flash and get this done! Thanks!

okay thanks i downloaded a rom! only one i can find hope it works for mine. and now the only concern i have is data loss... im only worried about contacts... and maybe texts. but contacts are the most important. comments?
thanks for your help!

Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.

I have the same problem
For example this rom :
[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed
How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?
i wanna get back to jailbreak my t-mobile device .

You may have to look for an unbranded rom since the HD7s for AT&T just came out.

They will actually synch with windows live mail. Including phone numbers

Okay thanks. I actually noticed lately I've been randomly losing numbers after syncing. I never activated my live mail account on my phone till like a few days ago. Now since I sync I lose them?! What's the deal :/ I had the same problem with iPhone it would always randomly delete contacts. So dumb

Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live

Everyone has been very helpful and im learning everything I need to know! I just need to know one thing before I flash this tomorrow. Explain the "special USB cable" and "gold card" to me... Do I need them? My hd7 is tmobile branded... Thanks so much!

Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.
I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?
I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.
Thanks in advance!

Open up the phone and fix the volume button. Who wants a phone with a broken volume button anyway? You'll want it fixed.

And you managed to post your first thread in the most inapproriate section you could possibly find ... this section is about ACCESSORIES while your (badly formatted and colored) post should be in the Q&A section.

OK, good to know its your 1st post, BUT
you managed to post it with the worst font i have ever seen, and its seems you r eye's failed to spot HERE. Upgrading isn't an accessory. This isa question for here
hope you now understand what you did wrong in posting this (in this section)
and good luck

There are a lot of tutorial here, just take a look in Android Development and enjoy yourself.

I wish you had used a better font color.
Anyways , take a look at this for all noob questions about rooting/custom ROMS etc etc
