[Q] Help please

i have just bought last week a SGS GT-I9000T, i have searched the whole of the galaxy range of forums on here and only found two with links to I9000T, the rest of the details for this phone is : Model Name: GT-I9000T
Current Version: PDA-JJ1/phone:JI1/CSC:JI1
and the info from About phone Firmware Version 2.1-update!
Basebandversion I4000tdoJ1!
Kernal Version 2.6.9 [email protected] #2
Build Number Eclair.Dojj!
does the above mean that my phone is rooted ?? i know it shows root in the kernal, but i do no have superuser and im still locked in with NZtelecom, any info or help would be really appreciated many thanks and regards to all..

No, root in the kernel version doesnt mean its rooted.
What is it exactly that you want root for?
A bit more info and we can point you in the right direction

For rooting try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Just make sure your 3 button recovery mode works. If you do than its a matter of trial and error for trying custom roms etc because arent you on 850htz band?

Surely he can update to Froyo on Kies

Froyo not in nz or aus yet so its either kies hack or european froyo.

awsome guys many thanks and the very best of regards...

Hi All and many thanks for your input with this, as stated froyo is not available in NZ yet, but my problem is that the phone is tied to Telecom XT and we have four main carriers is NZ them being Telecom XT, Vodafone, 2Degress and Telstra. the first I9000T that i got was tied to Vodafone and i took it back to the shop as i wanted a phone that would work with 2Degrees, and preferably on all frequencies so i had the option to change sims if i wished, so the second phone that i was given was tied to Telecom XT, then i am told that the phone will not work with 2 degrees and they were not willing to order a phone in for me, so we reached a compromise on the phone, they took $200 off of the cost and threw in a 8GB sd card. ok so back to my question i need to root the phone so that it will work with 2Degrees and get rid of the bloatware at the same time. and to update to froyo would be a bonus for me.
the three button recovery does work and i have just now managed to root the phone, after reading lots of pages of info on the subject, what i was doing wrong is not using the volume key and starting the update with the power button, a pretty simple mistake but it was really frustrating and i don't really remember reading about it in all of the info that i found on how to do this.
so thanks to all i am now rooted and just have to update to froyo, so more reading to get there.
just one thing that i have noticed between the two phones i was given and i might be wrong here, but after taking the back off of the phone and where the sim card goes there looks like another sim slot between the usable sim slot and the edge of the phone, but the first phone and i am pretty sure on this did not have in the back as it was covered by black plastic without any holes in it, i will try and post a pic of the back that is in this phone, so we can compare and see if there is anything in this.
so once again many thanks for all of the help, and with the very best of regards to all

Froyo ?
while i now have super user status kies tells me that my device is unable to be updated ? any one have an idea or any info on this, once again many thanks to all and the very best of regards

welcome to the joys of kies... i think most people here use odin to flash there roms maybe thats a option you could use quick easy and plenty of custom roms on this site to try.

[Q] i screwed up and need help!!!!!

so heres what i did, i got a stock captivate, used odin to flash rom to galaxy i 9000 and its really buggy. i wish to flash back to stock rom and update to froyo then unlock it so i can use it on t-mobile. when i say really buggy i mean i cant get anything but G network maybe E if im in the middle of portland or salem, but always have full receptoin. now can anyone help me fix this so i can use it with t-mobile? if not then i would like to flash it to another rom but, it wont go into download mode since i dont have a home button to use. should i get a jig and do all that other stuff ive got to do or is there another way? can anyone point me into the right directoin. either post they know of or from experience. i would greatly appreciate it ive spent a few days searching and havent found much info thats helped.

Oh wow... First of all, flashing a i9000 ROM is really NOT GOOD. i9000 ROMs are for the i9000 phones, not the i897 (Captivate). As far as unlocking goes, I hope you haven't screwed up your IMEI (and such) data on your phone somehow while flashing different ROMs onto your phone. Unlocking can be done on both 2.1 and 2.2, but you will need the unlocking codes from AT&T themselves (easiest way).
For the download mode, if you can't get into the download mode via ADB... I would definitely try a USB Jig. Try the alternate key combos to try and get into download mode as well.

Owch. This is what happens when you don't read before you do things.
Hopefully you can get yourself into Download Mode so you can flash via Odin back to the stock ROM.

you do realize that by unlocking it and putting it on TMobile you will not get ANY 3g?

well i was fallowing advice from an idiot and a few other idiots who backed the info and was happy with what it had done with their phone. little did i know till a little bit ago is that it was for germany not usa. ok so i need to do some research on adb. now since i want to use this phone for t-mobile and do get into download mode should i flash to captivate stock then update to froyo then unlock or just flash to vibrant? im not going to be using this phone for calls or internet browsing unless on wifi and using skype. its only going to be used for texting and games and video and pics and all the other wonderful options this phone has. t-mobile has a pre paid texting only plan thats only $15 a month. and everywhere i go has free wifi, if not ive got my own way of getting wifi if ive got my laptop for ad-hoc with braodband card.

do i need to change anything with the phone if i just plan on using t-mobile???? cause it is considered a global phone or whatever and not locked cause it shows i have t-mobile or att or sprint network to choose from as before the flash it only showed att. or should i just fix this one and flash it all back to stock and sell it to buy a new used phone lol
thank you for your help and advice/ its greatly appreciated

just flash back to stock 2.1...unlock it and u can flash any awesome rom.most save your imei and nvdata...i was on darky 8,1 and used t mobile, even used all carriers in india
to get to dl mode use adb or jig....never flash i9000 roms directly, if u want, u can flash i9000 based custom roms we have in dev section..

[Q] [GSM] Optus - Galaxy Tab Factory Restore

Hey everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Overcome 1.6.3
I've been having an issue with it overheating and turning itself off (nothing to do with the custom ROM, was doing it before, I was hoping the custom ROM would fix it but it didn't).
I rang Samsung about it and they told me to take it back to where I bought and get them to send it in to me.
My issue is that as soon as they see that it's running a Custom ROM they'll send it straight back to me!
Basically I'm trying to work out the Optus Factory ROM / Modem / PITT files so I can put the correct files back on using ODIN.
Does anyone have a stock Optus Galaxy Tab they can give me all the info for?
PDA: ?
PHONE: ?
CSC: ?
Model Number: ?
Firmware Version: ?
Kernal Version: ?
Build Number: ?
Thanks,
Mitchell !

Thanks, hadn't seen that.
Will move the question

the firmware my tab came with was JJ4, but when I got it back from repair it came with JMA, so it is hard to say what you should have

Thanks!
I ended up ringing one of the stores and asking them to read me out all the numbers off the Display model (figured it had never been updated).
It is as follows:
PDA: P1000XWJJ4
PHONE: P1000XXJID
CSC: P1000OPSJJ3
I was able to get the PDA + PHONE default files, but I could only get a default CSC file (SERJJ2) because no one had posted the Optus CSC file.
I'm restoring it all now, will let you know how it goes, cheers !

Hi there,
Did you get it working?
I am trying to restore my optus galaxy tab using odin as well, its a nightmare!
I also have the first two files (and not the csc file), but dont know how to do it.
I have the gt-p1000_mr.pit file loaded in odin along with the PDA and phone one (P1000XWJJ4 & P1000XXJID). I have the three boxes ticked, auto reboot, repartition, f. reset time etc. then i press start. It updates for a while then fails near the end. What am I doing wrong? Is it because i dont have the csc file or is there a certain order to do things?

Hey, yep I did end up getting it fixed !
Just at work at the moment but I'll post detailed instructions when I get home !

Awesome! This little saga is almost making me consider splashing out and going ipad, but I am being patient. I think theres a learning curve and then all will be good no? or have you got rid of yours since haha

All is good
I ended up finding teamovercome.net and installed their ROM which Im happy with so far. No optus stuff which is a plus

Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. The time zone difference thing over here is still messing with my head. Glad to hear you got it all sorted. I had a look back through all of my stuff and like an idiot I don't have anything saved any more, but oh well.
Haven't gotten rid of mine, but haven't touched it for about a month and a half, since moving over to the US, and not wanting to pay for a SIM card for it.

which version rom are using from overcome and is there any problems with using it on the optus network

Need some advice with i9000M

Hi guys, I know I need to make this short but I want it to be clear anyway. This is crazy I wanted nothing to do with smartphones 3-4 days ago because all the carriers rip us off with huge bills to get them. But low and behold when my cheap flip phone died after 3 years of loyal daily work a friend of mine offered me his Galaxy S i9000m for a good price. Started playing with the device and having a strong software/computer background started having a lot of fun with all the applications and was amazed with the possibilities (Networking, ipcam whatever) that just kept multiplying until I fell upon applications that needed something called gingerbread... Anyways I can tell you I learned a ****load in 48hours...
So I installed Samsung Kies, it found me the update and put it on for me.. (2.3.3 Gingerbread) then the nightmare started. The phone would boot, and would randomly reboot a random number of times until it could finally stay on and this could last from 2-30 minutes. So I thought, I'll just do a factory reset, to realise that its "STUCK" in 2.3.3 once its updated no going back to 2.1 or 2.2 easily.
Started looking around for ways to downgrade, and EVERY SINGLE LINK redirects to these 'mass download' sites that end up saying the firmwares were taken down for copyright issues. So desperate to find something, I fell upon a multiple CSC FROYO 2.2 firmware for the i9000 and was able to flash that in download mode the phone worked fine, except for me being very curious about the fact that I lost the "M" in my model description...
So started reading this thread(Mostly because I had already realised that with this non i9000m rom I had lost the 3 button DOWNLOAD MODE which i Had before) **** : http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-a...flashing-darky-v9-gt-i9000m-minimal-risk.html
Got it rooted, got clockwork on, never managed to get the voodoo kernel working had errors in CWM.. so I was ready to give up until my eyes caught the
"*#*#2663#*#*
Then click Touch key FW update"
Which I thought would be neat to try.
NIGHTMARE, now BACK and MENU are dead, I understand that this is because I am running a non i9000m ROM and that updating the firmware rendered them unusable.
I came accross a post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869492
Where this problem is adressed, I pretty much understand everything that should be done to get this back on its feet (right now the phone is still working I can use it at least 75% of its functions work except no back and menu)
Where I need your help : I'm not too sure how to attack this the right way, since I can't get into download mode I understand flashing is now more complicated to accomplish and now that I know that I need a i9000m firmware how can I find that...
Sorry for the long post I know I'm a noob here but I wanted to prove I had done all my homework to get where I'm at now seeking help from you guys!
Thanks a lot
Mat

By the way : Galaxy S GT i9000m currently on a 2.2 i9000 rom, my carrier is BELL. (Canada)

So there's no way of updating to 2.3.3 using Kies?
The only thing I can think of is getting a USB jig from ebay, which makes the i9000 go to download mode instantly. Good luck!

Alright, so I used CHECK FUS, and was able to get the i9000m stock BELL firmware YAY
now the help I need is to flash it correctly and find a way to get past the no download mode problem, would be very appreciated,
thanks guys
No, similar minds Sepharite, I also thought of redoing the Kies method, and then going back again if I needed to but now Samsung Kies says "Your device does not support firmware updates through Kies" Wow.. useful app, a samsung native app can't even detect it's own fricking hardware.
Thanks

UPdate : Was able to restore the 3 button "DOWNLOAD MODE" with a little tutorial online. Now I tried flashing my i9000m with ODIN, it flashed all the way and I get a i9000M logo now but it gets to the splash S logo and keeps rebooting never gets into the actual android setup is there something I did wrong?
In Odin all I put was the "BELL i19000m stock ROM" under PDA and wrote it. The device rebooted after flash but there still seems to be something I haven't done right.
Thanks guys

Please help guys, I know some of you out there have got this stuff nailed down!

Did you flash with a 1 file ROM or a 3 file ROM?
Using the UGKG3 ROM that you can fine here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Place the 3 files in their respective places (PDA, PHONE, CSC), for the PIT file, select the 512 pit file that should have come with ODIN, connect the phone, wait for ID:COM to turn yellow, and press Start.
That should get you going again. You may get apps that force close, so you'll need to delete the apps data and then reinstall them.

Hey thanks a lot man ya my flash was a SINGLE FILE, I bricked it yesterday trying to flash a different ROM since I had nothing to lose, I just got it working again on the old 9000 ****ty version that my back and menu keys don't work...
Now for some reason the USB JIG doesn'T work anymore after a couple of uses... could something have been damaged by doing it many times?
And your original roms section they are all unavailable due to copyright did you check the links before sending them?

When you say get the stock roms, I was able to get the UGKG3 file, but what about the versions? When I look at the north american section of the 2.2 version
UGKC1/UGKC1/BMCKC1/Sbl
UGJL2/UGJL2/BMCJL2/Sbl
UGJK3/UGJK3/BMCJK3
which one of the three suits me?
Thanks for your help, and if I get this running and go back and update my touch key firmwares with the right "Vibrant / 9000M" roms I should get them working again?
PS : I'm also very preoccupied by the fact that the USB JIG fix doesn'T seem to pop download mode anymore because this version of the ROM that I have has Download mode not working with the 3 button method. :S I wonder whats going on, but basically if I get your ROMS working the first time It'll fix everything but if it crashes then I lose the galaxy haha

Not sure why the USB jig doesn't work anymore. I have a couple and have only tested them on my phone to make sure they work, but they did not work on a Galaxy S II that I tried it on.
I just checked and the download link for the UGKG3 ROM at multiupload (downloading from multiupload), still works (you need to enter the captcha phrase).
The site megaupload was shut down by the US gov't, so that one won't work.
EDIT: UGKC1/UGKC1/BMCKC1/Sbl is the latest Froyo release from Bell. That's what mine and my wife's gt-i9000m phones came with.
She's still running it on hers.

Ok sorry for all these posts, basically when you said UGKG3 you want me to get the 2.3.3 ROM on ? Is that right? What if I Want to put on 2.2 to be sure I have no trouble with it since I'm in all this mess because the Kies update to Gingerbread had my phone in a bad state.
Thanks a lot by the way!

Sorry your post refreshed right after I did mine. Alright cool so I'll try the one you say your wife is running, I had made myself a JIG with a stock Samsung wire, it was working fine with a 300K resistor and I decided to solder it on and then it stopped working after that.... maybe the actual "usb plug" is damaged from the soldering heat I guess I'd have to try another wire, but anyway I'll try to download the 2.2 I just got the UGKG3 3 FILE rom downloaded one of the links did work!
But I'm a little worried about 2.3.3
I'll try to see if i can download the 2.2 first.
I mean basically... these roms shouldn't jam during transfer i Guess

One other thing I see different confusing information, is it important for me to click 'update bootloader" with these stock roms since these files contain an 'SBL' ? Because both times I bricked it was with an "update bootloader checked" firmware update trying to put the ARIES 3 button method fix as a boot.bin and sbl.bin
Fanks..

Files with SBL in the name already have the bootloader included in the PDA file, so "update bootloader" should NOT be checked.

That reassures me, because the only times it did jammed was when the bootloader was checked! THanks a lot blackrose i'll go out and buy another usb cable because I destroyed mine making my JIG. And I'll try yours out. I was reading a lot on another thread and found this one guy who flashed the JL2 one to save his keys instead of the C1 you said your wife was running, whats the main difference between those two and which one should I start with?

Update : I got a new wire, flashed the KC1 version of the firmware, everything goes fine, I did a repartition with the 512 PIT, it reboots the phone, loads all files in a prompt in yellow and there are no errors that appear, the phone reboots after writing 'successful update' and then goes to the galaxy logo and jams there and does the ONE vibrate, PAUSE, 2 vibrate on a black screen forever. The advantage of having successfully flashed a 9000M ROM allows me to have access to my DOWNLOAD MODE 3 button method, but ever since I flashed that 2.2 i9000 XXJP2 (seems its a euro version) off a torrent I found on the web (When I was desperate to find a functioning 2.2 working version) it seems as though it doesn'T want to boot with any other rom than that one, because all the 9000M roms that I've tried so far flash correctly, and the logo actually changed from i9000 to i9000M on the startup, but they just don't boot.. what could be missing it doesn't seem to be much???
Thanks Mat

If any of this can help, the device was rooted, I was following the darky's mod i9000M guide so I had previously installed the CLOCKWORK MOD and that's as far as I got because my eyes caught the FIRMWARE TOUCH KEY UPDATE which ruined my keys.
Could any of this have screwed something that stops my other roms from booting?
Thanks guys I really want to get this phone up and working again as I don't have much money and am afraid I'll have to cancel with my phone company if I just can'T get this running. I am also willing to make a significant donation to whoever can help me.

You in Canada right? Where abouts?

Alright, if this can help anybody my whole problme is solved.
I flashed the ****JL2**** the KC1 did not boot, the JL2 did.
Once inside JL2, I was able to update my TOUCH KEY FIRMWARE *#*#2663#*#* and everything went back to normal
I have no idea why the KC1 does not work, bugs me out.

G800F back cover warning

Hello, i bought my phone ages ago. No problems what so ever(exept gone through 2 new batteries already, but i assume its my idiocy).
Gone through rooting, CM12 (5.0.0 (LP) i believe?) and then installed original fresh ROM. Now factory settings and not rooted for last 6 months or so.
At Christmas i bought myself a flip cover with fancy little useless window (known as S-View).
Installed it and everything looked good until few hours later, phone started popping back cover warnings, everytime i unlock the phone.
Then got it worse, phone started to woke up itself and pop up the warning, then lock itself again and over and over again.
Removing the cover worked, then i installed it and it worked again. Then i changed SD and it started that sh*t again!
So i bought new SD card hoping it will solve situation (ADATA 64GB, UHS1, Class10) after reading stuff about frying SD cards and error codes that trigger the warning.
Here i am, phone keeps doing that over and over again. Thought i would find help in here, or somewhere else, but no good.
Can someone help me?
Phone is used, last owner "didnt fully ulitized its functions" so he sold it to me. Phone runs on 4.4.2 (KK) which is kinda sad for me, because i keep waiting for official update (im stupid).
Could some custom kernel solve this? I like TouchWiz (bash me again) and i found having native functions (like sensors, ir controller, screensharing and other comfy fat stuff built in) rather usefull than bloatware, so thats why i left CM.
Any help appreciated. And excuse my english.

Same problem, on 4.4.2 without root and waiting for official update. I have tried every advice from the internet to no avail.
I have learned to live with it and hope that with a firmware update it will go away.

So, I don't know why you have this problem (I never bought a flip cover for my phone,I hate it), but you are for the third time (I think) a stupid (no offense) because now there's the CM13 with a bit more feature supported than CM12. However you can try to flash Touchwiz 5.1.1 and see what happen, if you didn't yet. It doesn't matter if the update it isn't released yet for your country, just flash an update for the G800F.

If you are root you can use the link2sd app and freeze a system app called PopupuiReceiver and the back cover warning will dissapear.
I hope this helps you. Sorry for my English.

Ehy man, Youmobile didn't say nothing yet but they are 100% official and you will not lose your data if you download Cyprus 5.1.1 and flash it via Odin. You can find all 5.1.1 release on Sammobile and if you download a Vodafone branded rom you need a PIT file. Try it.

I got T-mobile(sim) but completelly operator-free rom and i would like to make it, like it is.
In another words, can you tell me if the other xxxxBOLx versions will work instead of my xxxxAOlx version?
I'll go for operator free, as i mentioned before, so the "PDA" version as sammobile says is the only one thing that bugs me about flashing my phone.

The only thing that i can say to you is that i flashed the Italy Vodafone rom (with PIT file) and it works well. (I'm from Italy so you can understand). However every G800F rom can be flashed (with PIT file if it's a branded rom like Vodafone). This rom has G800FXXU1BOL4 version and it works with every G800F. So, I recommend you the Cyprus one because is no-branded and it doesn't need the PIT (also the Germany no-branded one but is less updated). However you can install the Vodafone one but you need the PIT file. (and I can give it to you)

Thats what i wanted to hear. Thanks :good:

So today i tried to flash. Successfully. System looks like it has more stability built in, visually, its almost like KK. The popup seems to be gone. Only one thing that surprised me "Google Play Service Error" which tends to stay in loop. Uninstaled and reinstalled, hopefully it will work. Sadly Cyprus is a Vodafone. So gonna find another, less annoying rom - Germany, atleast until my country gets official release.
For those who wanna flash, use AP tab in Odin (if you ever flashed before, the tab was called "PDA" now its AP - "Android Phone") and let the phone deal with itself, i panicked and reflashed twice, just because i was nervous.
Happy Easter.
Another edit: The German ROM has everyday bloatware in, however, it can be uninstalled without much pain, by simply dragging it up -> Uninstall. So far, so good. Cheers.

Nice,however Vodafone's ROMs is more updated than other ROMs.
