JF3 firmware on samsung-firmwares.com? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I flash this ROM will it,to anyone that looks at it, appear to be an unmessed about with phone?
I had a problem today, where the battery drained super fast.I phoned Samsung, thinking they would bung me a battery ,but they didnt ,they suggested I take it to a nearby service centre.

If it has the same CSC version / modem and firmware as when you bought the phone then I don't think they can tell

Desperate, flashed captivate firmware on galaxy i9000m

So as the thread title state, i flashed with one click odin for captivate my i9000m unlocked phone. But i'm not (well i am definately) dumb enough to just do it out of the blue. It started when i updated my jh2 to jp6/jpm through kies registry hack. then rooted then oclf. Everything worked fine until i started moving apps to sd. I rebooted and i only had a bootloop... Got into download mode, flashed 1000 firmwares, tried every combination, etc. Finally found out that my /sdcard was corrupted and couldn't properly flash a firmware since the filesystem wasn't efs anymore. So i seen the odin one click for captivate with the big MASTER CLEAR, which i though (i damn myself for thinking so...) it may return my partition to rfs and that i could easily flash another firmware then...
So now i am stuck with a "bricked" bell i9000m with the at&t logo booting in loop and can't access recovery or download mode (think the flash may have remapped the buttons?) and when i plug usb it turns off.
So, here are my 2 questions,
1- is there a way (other than jtag, can't afford one and not really good at this stuff) to change at least the boot logo/bootloader or unbrick it?
2- Would there be a way to send it back to samsung (would obviously not accept it as it is...) any chance to physically format everything on the chip?
Please, ANY help would be greatly appreciated
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
PS: sorry if it is not in the good section
1. JTAG is your best shot, and you don't have to get one yourself. Coz some shops got RIFFBOX for JTAG and now it do support I9000. Rumors said you MAY get into download mode if you try 3 button mode many many times...
2. You can TRY giving it into a samsung service centre and hope they can repair it for you. They seems to have some other way to write a bootloader through USB even when the original bootloaders are dead.
For the JTAG, anyone around quebec city (or may ship in canada?) Also, is the 3 mode button would be the same or switched for recovery? (if we can actually get in download mode in such state).
Thanks
On the website of RIFFBOX, I can only find one in Toronto
I have no idea about the 3 button trick also, some say it is same as I9000 one and some say it is Captivate one (Vol up, Vol down and power)
I did the same stupid mistake and I have to send the phone back to samsung for a board change...
Does samsung really accept bell gt i9000m which only reboot with a at&t logo (i think it definately void your warranty)? :S
I had almost the same problem. Flash JM8 first with 502 pit and reparition, then do JM6 without reparition and 802 pit.

Can't get it to detect with pc, it just bootloop all the time...
So you can't get it into download mode for odin?
no, no download mode, if i plug usb, it just shutdown...
samsung itself accept it
and say it is out of warranty and will charge 500 bucks for it
i got the unit replaced with other reason though
but seems service centre and repair centre are two things and repair centre can do tue same trick, but you will have to ask samsung for the address
someone suggested in another thread that if you jump two pins of the usb connector with a 5k resistor, it would boot it into download mode...........but it was only suggested, and no one has confirmed it. probably dangerous, but if your phone is being sent in anyways, might as well?

Do you mean (i'm still on the warranty) that since the phone is bricked, THEY say it is out of warranty and make me pay (500$, the price i paid for the phone) to have it repaired, or did you meant that IF i was not on the warranty anymore (i still have receipt, etc), then they would charge me?
And if i want it repaired, i should probably contact repair service directly or service center?
Also, as for the resistor part, would you have the thread somewhere? (post or pm?) would maybe also check a howto since i am not quite the resistor guy...
Thank you very much
whom ever you talked to at the store, they were just being some arses
in Tonronto you got to most Bell stores they will fix it or send it to the repair center under warranty as long as you have the receipt, from Bell or bell partners stores
if you do not have a receipt you will need to talk to samsung canada and get them to tell you their local authorized NON Bell repair center, then you can go there and have it fixed
and they will definitely not charge you $500, average cost is anything from Free, to $45, to $75 or more depending on what they need to repair if any hardware part at all

Hi, thank you for your answer, i didn't contacted the store i bought it from yet (lasource/thesource). So you say i could only walk in with the box, bricked galaxy and the receipt and they would send it for repair? (even if they check and see it boot with the at&t logo?) and if they only ask what is the problem, what could i say? it only reboot or should i precise it reboot with a at&t logo? (and if they ask me how it happened? :S) Just want to know what i should say and not to avoid voiding my warranty. (also, i should avoid bell center but lasource/thesource which is only a reseller should be ok?)
Thank you very much

In my case
As there's no repair centre in Hong Kong, I have to go to samsung directly
And Samsung Hong Kong is famous for terrible after service
They say it is my own problem and will not try any way to reflash even there's a way to do it as the warranty doesn't cover this problem.
The only choice they give me is to pay about 500USD to change the board.
That's what likely happen if you send it to Samsung...you might get your warranty voided as well...
Well, guess i will send it to samsung directly... (anyone know if they will honor the warranty even if it boot only with a at&t logo?) also, could someone please send/share the link where someone put a resistor on the cable to supposedly go directly in download mode?
Thank you very much

Im trying this but I jus tget to the revovery screen, i chose `FormatInternal`
didnt work
and if i restart phone it actually goes to galaxy s logo then just goes black
Bricked my SGS with Captivate ROM too.
Any joy with this problem, sackofnoise?
Following a failed official Kies update to Froyo, I too (stupidly) used the one click flash Odin not realising that it would brick my phone. Like you, I can't get into download or recovery mode - tried every key combination you can think of. Also plugging in a USB lead shuts the phone down in about 2 seconds and also even prevents charging.
Taking it back or sending it to a service centre is not an option. It boots to an AT&T screen and even boots up to android - although it's no use like this, because it will not allow me to recharge the battery because of the USB problem.
Any ideas please. Flashed stock and custom ROMS to phones for years but never been stuck like this before.

Get into download mode, THEN plug in USB. I had the same problem when I installed a tmobile vibrant kernel by accident.
EDIT: Well you sent your phone in. Let's all hope for the best.

Problem here is that there is no way to get into download mode. No combination of keys work - tried them all.

[Q] Do you think random shutdowns can be fixed

I am going to att store to ask them to fix my phone. It shuts down with any rom i used. I am back with stock now(unrooted) to be qualified for warranty. I master cleared it and flash back to stock two days ago, after around 28 hours, it shut down again. I cant live with my phone like this any more. I was later for class twice because of this phone died at mid night and didnt woke up until I turned it on.
DO YOU THINK ATT CAN FIX IT OR CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT. I LIKE THIS PHONE WHEN IT IS FULLY FUNCTIONED.
btw, MY GPS WORKS AFTER A MASTER CLEAR.
Thank you guys

Question asked many times before. Please do a search before posting questions like this.
Anyways, here's ur answer.
1. Are u still in warranty? Since Captivate was released less than a year ago, chances are that u r.
2. Restore stock
3. Format internal SD
4. Take to AT&T service center (store, if u r within 30 days) and tell them it shuts down randomly
They will replace ur piece based on how the piece is and after verifying if u r a legitimate customer and that the piece has been bought from them, n not from some person/site offline (by verifying IMEI).

I got a replacement today.
I went to att store and they sent to att device support center and this phone apparently is a frequent visitor of device support center, so they replaced it without hesitation.
all those methods you listed are biascs I tried already. But thanks anyway.
I was just trying keep my old one since its gps happened to be working after 4 months of strike. And the new piece i got also has a working gps, so I am good now.
One a little thing worth mentioning here. When i told the rep at att store this phone shuts down, she asked me if i am happy with this phone. Of course I am not, but besides the gps and shutdown I really like the rest of this phone, so I said yes eventually. Do you think it might be possible if I said no and they will try to give me a phone like htc inspire 4g to just make their customer happy?

[India]Does Samsung Provide Replacement ??

Please have patience guys its long story and i need ur suggestions :crying:
About My Phone Problem:
3months back When i had GB on my note phone used to reboot or freezes then lock screen comes
and signal becomes zero this would happen more then 15times with in 10mins and phone would
become hot so i used to switch off it for a while..later it would b stable..
i was not knowing the reason i thought its my sd card..i tried few days
without sd card but same thing used to happen..whenever this happens battery drains ...
Then ICS update came and same problem continued. :crying:
After ICS i faced one problem with screen..DOnt know how to explain but it was like
screen crashed for 2 secs (something similar disturbance when ur mobile is near crt monitor) after 2secs it would be normal..this happened 4 times
i erased all the data and did factory reset and didn't install any apps for few days
then one day i tried to transfer .APK file from my another android phone.
After receiving the file same problem started...i tried to send other files same thing happened .
I felt its Bluetooth which is causing this..This time i switched of Bluetooth and problem stopped..
.i made a video sorry for the quality its only 2mp camera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya0gIQX1mjY&feature=youtu.be
Samsung Customer Care:
They asked me whether i updated my Note through KIES i said then they said that may be bluetooth files have not installed properly
and suggested me that for updates i should go to Samsung service center...(Then whats the use of KIES???)
Service Center:
I went to service center told them about my problem they checked my version and said sir ur ics is not installed properly and ur software is old..They said they will update it..
After updating i checked it but still same problem when ever i try to on bluetooth and send a file...
He said PBA(Motherboard) should be replaced sir..so i asked him whether its a defective phone.
.he was like i cant tell u sir because its 6months old phone(he had already
checked the phone for water damage etc it was all clear and i never dropped my phone till now ..
i had only i scratch on my s pen and on screen i had screen guard)
so they told me to wait for 1week as part is not available with them...
while submitting my handset i told them not to put any scratches or any dents on phone(i had bad experiences with my Nokia N8 ) and i want to see my old motherboard (as i was not sure whether they will replace it or not)
After 1 week Service Center:
Yesterday they called me and told me that phone is ready sir..
when i got my phone battery was low ie below 15% and i tried Bluetooth for a while and problem was solved
but when i saw back cover it had 2 big scratches and camera glass has scratches(they agreed to replace back door and back glass of camera) and they didnt even show me old motherboard..
so i was arguing with them.they replied that we have changed PBA trust us..u can check the job sheet number with customer care and they will provide the details..and suddenly my phone rebooted..
After 5mins tried Bluetooth option for a while and same problem.But this when even this happened i used to get connect ur charger..
So he told me that its only notification sir...since ur phone has less charge its not rebooting but gives notification by coming to lock screen (does this happen with all notes?)
i told him to charge my phone for a while
After 20mins @ Service center:
Battery level was 21% so we tried transferring a file ..Bingo it happened again..
then technician told me that its not motherboard sir may be Antenna problem ..wil contact u after 2days sir..so i asked him u guys didnt even check what was the problem and u changed PBA and now ur telling me that its Antenna problem???
Sir give us 2days time will let u know the cause..
i told them to replace my phone..so he replied that Samsung only replaces the parts
Samsung Customer Care:
i informed them and they suggested me to talk to Area Executive Manager
Area Executive Manager
After listening to my story(he was polite ) he told me that PBA is heart of the phone so even after replacing ur problem didnt solve so i guess we should provide u replacement but according to our policy we only replace parts but i wil try my level best to replace..mean while i will send technician to check ur phone and then wil let u know in 2days
So guys what should i do??
Should i accept the phone with replaced parts or should i request them to replace my phone with new one??
P.S Never Rooted or installed Custom rom
that really sucks. I hope they give you a replacement phone asap.
You are already in contact with the officials of samsung, what do you expect from xda members, suggest otherwise?
Just be patient. Read what your warranty reads. Usually they will try to repair whatever needs to be repaired then only replace the whole unit if they cannot solve it.

From what I understand customer service in general in India is terrible with delays, scratched phones etc. Hope it gets resolved!

note 3 neo issue
i had purchased the phone from authorized samsung showroom a month back. the first day itself the phone hanged when i entered the camera app. i thought it would be a minor bug and would get solved and then when i used to put my phone on charge it used to turn off not always but many times. i went to the service centre yesterday and they said we will update the software and give you that should solve the problem. i had doubts though and got the phone back after they did it and the phone got witched off again on charge. went again today and they dint even know what the problem was and said i needed to leave my phone with them for 3 days. stil not sure whether they would solve the issue or not. one thing he said confidently was that they wont replace the phone. i got very pissed. waiting for the improvement

Sur is ur problem solved. I need to no bcoz i have same tis problem

[Q] Help! Sony xperia TX updated, and now blank screen.

Hi all,
I recently bought my TX overseas, and updated to 3.197. It was fine for the first few days, until today, I turned on my phone, it came up with a blank screen.
All the functions seems to be working fine, even the touch screen, except that the screen itself is blank. I don't know what is wrong with it. I live in New Zealand, and I bought the phone in Taiwan a few weeks ago, and they don't sell TX or T in NZ, and I don't have a way to repair unless I go to somewhere that sells TX, or fly to Taiwan and get it fixed. :crying:
I called Sony in Taiwan, and did everything they suggested me to do, including repairing through PCcompanion, resetting, waiting for a few hours then turning it on again and the screen is still blank. Is there anyone that knows a way to fix this or have experienced similar problem?
I really want to be able to use my phone again. Any help would be truly appreciated!

I thought My phone died a week after I updated via Sony companion. Just needed to turn it off an on. Hold Power and Volume up until it reboots. If you have done this already I can't say I have much hope for it and return to base.
Have you not insured the phone?
In the UK you are asking for trouble if you don't insure your phone.
Sounds like you will need to pay for a recommended repair centre to fix it. Sony should be able to give you a list of contacts near you if you have to send your handset abroard then it's what you have to do.
****!! don't scared me I just bought tx today.

Did you try any of the following?
1) Install a stock .FTF using Flashtool, preferably the 7.0.A.1.307 firmware that came with the phone.
2) Downloading the Sony Ericcson Update Service program and using that to force an update to .3.197?
I am having exactly the same issue today. The phone is working but not the screen. The backlight, touch panel are all functional except the lcd panel. Could this be caused by the cable connector?
By the way, I don't think it has anything to do with firmware upgrade. Mine has been running the latest firmware for weeks until today.
Update: I opened the phone and checked all cable connectors and they are all firmly connected...Maybe the screen is busted... OP, were you using the oem battery?
Update 2: atteched some teardown pictures of xperia tx.

no sound with receiver during calls(ISSUE UPDATED)

Hey guys,
Does anybody who ever or being suffered from the call issue like hearing nothing from the receiver during phone calls??Sometimes it work,but sometimes it doesn't!!And the speaker works in most of the cases,whereas sometimes it also breaks down liked the receiver.Moreover,I can hear some cracks from the receiver in some cases.
I am totally freaked out because I am sure that the receiver is good (no problems with skype and wechat,and I also have checked it by using "*#0*#" when the situation happens) and it seems impossible to be solved after wiping and flashing different firmware(both by cwm and odin),and so do the modems.
Any solutions or suggestions will be totally appreciated!!!:crying:
Edit: I've tried to flash the Perseus and disable the dac direct,it seems that the cases happen less frequent.
Update:
I found sth strange about the call issue by chance: when I lock the screen maybe for more than 5 mins,then wake it up and make a phone call soon,the receiver can't work every times.However, when I put it into use(light the screen) for more than 3 or 4 mins,and then the receiver works again during calls.
What I want to say is: maybe there are sth wrong with the cpu setting or the power management?
I actually got the static phone call issue today (first time) after installing ripper rom yesterday but im sure it was just a once off issue because I could not reproduce the same result
Change roms ect but if the issue persists then your only option is to jump on triangleaway, stock firmware and dial away to Samsung or your telco

It's a hardware issue. I had the same thing with my i9300; You have to take it to a repair center for motherboard replacement. It's the audio chip that goes bad (on the i9300 the component number is U604). Happened to me twice, with both my new and replacement motherboard, but it happened to go away for me the 2nd time.

Thanks!! I've saw your thread and now I have nothing to do with it except considering repair.If the issue happens again,i will probably send it back to the company which I bought this phone.
BTW,are you sure both your phones are now preforming good during the calls?You have said that the issue happened again a month later after it got the first repaired? If you have some news with your phones,please notice me~~~

Yep!! Last time I had flashed the ripper rom and then I found this issue.First I thought it was the problems that come from the rom,but after several tries then I thought it probably due to the hardware issue that I cant solve....

I've had the phone for about 6 months total. The first time the issue happened, I had owned the phone for 3 months. The phone came from a company in Germany, and I live in the US (purchased through Amazon). The i9300 is not sold or repaired in the US (because the US version has different components), so I had to ship it to the seller, to ship to a repair center on my behalf. The phone itself carries a 2 year warranty, which is good because in the US phones only have a 1 year warranty. However, it cost me $80 to ship the device to Germany, and about a month total time before I got it back.
Anyways, I got a paper back in German that detailed the issue and said they had to replace a component, which turned out to be the entire board. They also copied over the original IMEI number to the new board. The second time this issue started happening was literally on New Year's Day (on 12:00 AM EXACTLY). I tried to call a car service place for my girlfriend and her family, and my phone had no audio going in or out for calls. My phone was working perfectly before that and I hadn't flashed anything new for over a month (I was on Omega ROM 35 with Siyah kernel 1.8.6). Immediately I knew the issue had come back again. For whatever reason, the issue went away maybe 4 days later and hasn't come back. I flashed the latest modem (for the i9300 it's XXELLA), but I'm still on Omega ROM v36. I don't think me flashing anything fixed anything; more likely that it went away on its own since it's 100% a hardware issue.
To clarify, sometimes an incorrect modem for your region CAN cause there to be issues with calls, but if it happens out of the blue, and flashing anything doesn't help, it's a hardware issue. Take it to a Samsung repair center for sure. The i9300 and i9305 use the same parts except for the modem and a few other things. Other than that they're the same exact device.
