Alright, I'm pretty uniformed when it comes to these things, but as it stands I need some help. I have a Bell Galaxy S (GT-I9000M) that I unlocked to use on Telus and then rooted a month later in an attempt to trouble shoot a reception issue (don't ask). Trouble shooting failed and now I'm trying to get the circumvent the warranty issues by trying to re-flash back to the stock bell ROM, which is from what I can tell the I9000UGJH2. I downloaded it from (samfirmware). I'm trying to use Odin and am having some troubles. When I extract the file there is only a single .tar file inside (I9000UGJH2-PDA-Kernel-Bootloader-CL490514-Low). As such I am unclear as to what to enter for the PDA/PHONE/CSC fields. I assume this file is the PDA, and inside is the modem file if I look. Do I need to extract this to use in the modem field? I'm so confused.
Also, a couple of things. Ive had 'success' flashing using just the the one file in the PDA field, as well as that plus the modem file found inside extracted and selected in the MODEM field. HOWEVER, in both attempts though it seem to boot into the OS fine, neither recognize my SIM card. Clearly this is some sort of failure. Any suggestions?
Oh, and yes, I can get into download mode. That's the only reason I'm fiddling.
since the phone boots into the OS
and you have the 3 buttons working
you can try flashing it back to stock (JH2) using KIES
and see if you can get it to recognize your Telus SIM card with that.
before you go ahead, do you have friends or family with Fido or Rogers SIM you can try?
just to make sure it's not a Telus SIM card problem
I'm pretty sure I did flash it to the stock JH2. When I plug into kies and search for firmware updates it says there are none. Am I doing something wrong?
maybe if I flash the update prior to JH2? Then it will see it need an update and go to town?
on the registry just change all the JH2 references to JG9
then it will offer you JH2 for "upgrade"
or you can use this

done and done. used the regedit. prompted to update. did so. loads the galaxy s screen, then goes to black. i kind of want to kill myself ;(
try booting into recovery mode and wipe data + wipe cache
see if it can boot after that

Hello all,
Currently i'm using a great modded rom (2.2), but i would like to flash to original 2.1 to test my battery, which is quite bad...
CSC that i have now: XEE. I900, rooted
I entered samsung-firmware, and downloaded JM9.
Inside the rar, there is 2 files
MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5 (12mb)
CODE_I9000XWJM9.tar.md5 (280mb)
They are saying the the pit for this rom should be 512.PIT. downloaded.
The problem is that on top it's written:
What can i do if i have only one file?
If you have one .tar file than is this the PDA version.
When you flash the PDA version everything will work the same like a full firmware.
Thats why many links have only one file!
Please when you have only one file SKIP RE-PARTITION!
Use only .PIT files if you have 3 files!
I don't have 3 files... THE CSC is missing, so i cannot flash if i understand right.
This is my first time flashing via ODIN.
What should i do?
By the way, there should any different in the test between JPG to JM9 ?
Thanks,
Efi

Okay, the modem is well obviously the modem and the code jm9 is the pda use these 2 plus your pit and tick repartition. The csc can be added manually by doing the following after you have flashed. Make sure you factory reset after froyo is installed.

I'm sorry for my mistake. But i guess that if this thread is already open we should just finish ?
According to your link, i can just change values in my registry and kies will update my phone to JM9?
Does is mattar what CSC i'm using? no,right?
tragusman, i understood almost everything. why do i need to flash the csc? i just can't leave it like it is? which one should i choose ?
Thanks

CSC is the file with carrier customizations! It is not mandatory to flash a CSC file!
But if you don't flash it you will have to enter your APN setting manually!
As OrionBG said you can just manually enter apns i just find this easier using the automatic method outlined from that post. They say that the csc file has network specific settings like gps etc not just apns.
Choose the csc that is for your region carrier they are all clearly labelled on that site its very easy to do.

Can i just leave CSC empty in ODIN? i must flash a csc? i cannot just leave it like it is?
I understand what CSC is... but i don't find it in the list... I'm from Israel, how can i know what csc from the list will work for me?
Whats better to test battery stats? JPG or JM9 ?
Thank you
Yes leave it blank. ive never flashed csc with odin. The method i outlined to install csc was to do after you have flashed your rom with odin.
If its not in the list just copy down your apns settings or use apn backup and restore from the market to back them upand save them to external sd or pc.

I looked into APN and i see there only things that are related to 3G/intrenet and not to general calls that go through 2G... why?
You wrote: PDA plus modem plus your pit and tick repartition...
But it's written Use only .PIT files if you have 3 files!... what should i do?
I wasn't thought it will be so hard... What do you think about the kies registry trick?
You also wrote: Make sure you factory reset after you install Froyo. The thing is that i want to install Eclair (JP9) from A modded Froyo, and then test the battery, do root again, clockwork, modded rom, lagfix. that's all...
I think that if i will factory reset it will become simlock... it's a branded phone (movistar) but i have used an unlock key...
Thank you for everything again
What pit did you use last time? if you used 512 then it would be okay not to use one but if you used 803 for froyo then id advise to use pit. As for simlock im not sure hopefully someone else can help with that.

It's my first time flashing with ODIN like i told you
When i got the device i had 2.1, i installed root, rom manager, patched clockwork recovery and installed modded from though "install zip from sdcard'... so i didn't flashed through odin.
Ok i have some updates:
Through Kies the registry hack didn't worked because i'm trying to flash an older version, when i'm using 2.1
Opened ODIN 1.0, did all the things i need to do,
and in options:
Ticked re-partition
PDA - choosed the code
Phone - choosed Modem
CSC - left blank.
Flashed. everything went cool, JM9 is up, the thing is that he remember old apps and lancher pro, and i need to factory reset my phone through recovery. Did -worked.
my csc is XEE, it remain the same. does it mattar? My imei is displayed normally.

Someone please?
Hoping a kind soul can help a total fool who should have left well alone!
I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone that was unlocked by the previous owner but still had all the "3" branding which I wanted to remove. I was already on ver 2.2 (updated via Kies) although I don't know the exact revision.
After lots of reading (obviously not enough) I followed a guide to reflash via Odin v1.7 to I9000XWJS3 using separate files for PIT (803), PDA, PHONE and CSC. The guide said to tick Re-partition on which might have been the cause of my problem.
Needless to say after the flash, I got the error message "Can't mount /dev/block/st110" and subsequent reboots just give me a black screen. I still had access to the download mode so I tried another posts solution to fix the black screen starting with a flash to I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit and re-partition again. This time the odin process started but no progress bar materialised. After a very long while I disconnected. Thankfully I can still enter the download mode but this time am hoping someone with more knowledge is willing to help me though the process of recovering my phone if its still possible.
Just looking for any stock UK firmware and then I will let Kies update from now on.
Many Thanks
[Solved]
For those that want a quick summary of what restored my phone. Flashing I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit clicking re-partition.

You still can use xxjpc, with repartition ticked. Many a times, odin will fail for no reasons. Try again, but make sure you close Kies completely.

Thanks g00ndu. You gave me the courage to re-run xxjpc again by confirming I was on the right track and this time it worked. Small donation on its way for helping me recover my phone.
I have one further question though. Can someone confirm if the I9000XXJPC firmware is for the UK? I hope to only use Kies from now on but it now says "the version of the device cannot be updated". I am using the latest version 2.0.0.11014_49.
Thanks again
Edit - Kies lists the current firmware version as PDA:JPC / PHONE:JPC / CSC:JPC (KOR). Something tells me I have the wrong country firmware. If anyone can provide a link to the correct one and the Odin settings I should use it would be greatly appreciated.
Still trying to get a solution to this and have noticed that my product code in Kies registry entry is GT-I9000HKDKOR. I am wondering if this is because I used a wrong CSC file?
Any directions would be very welcome.
Thanks
Go to www.samfirmware.com and grab the Europe/UK firmware. Get a 2.2.1. one. All the CSC, Phone, Modem files should be in the package.
Thanks snapper.fishes. I am now downloading I9000XXJPU (512.Pit) - hopefully this one is correct as some of the downloads for 2.2.1 show (803.Pit). As there are no instructions with this I assume I don't click re-partition. Is this correct?
Thanks for the help
This is almost soul destroying....
I ran the update "I9000XXJPU (512.Pit)" as mentioned above and it flashed successfully. I am now on 2.2.1
Re-plugged in the usb cable and no windows popup to view the sd contents and nothing in "My Computer". Kies recognises something has been plugged in but remains on "connecting" - the phone itself shows the usb graphic and "connected".
I then went into Settings -> About Phone and there is no USB Settings option.
And just to rub it in I typed in *2767*4387264636# as per the wiki guide on here to view the Product code and it's still on Korea GT-I9000HKDKOR.
Edit - Have now tried *#1234# and the phone says:
PDA: I9000XXJPU
PHONE: I9000XXJPU
CSC: I9000OXAJPU
Not even sure if this bit helps
In case this is a help to other novices like me with the wrong product code. I found the following info and you don't need to be rooted to run it:
E.g. Changing CSC to XEU: Note - this will only work if the multiCSC was used when firmware was flashed
Type *#272*IMEI# and select XEU to install. (to check IMEI: *#06#)
Phone will reset to the default setting (perform a backup beforehand if req)
XEU = UK's product code
As for the USB issue (no USB Settings menu option in About Phone), is this just a change in the 2.2.1 menus? I noticed a USB Settings menu in "Wireless and network" and they have changed how this works. Kies still refuses to connect to the phone, but maybe this is just Kies.
Thanks

Me Too!!
I'm getting the same error the op did.
What happened? I flashed CM7 and it worked fine. I then decided to do a restore with the backup I had made earlier with CWM, this is when **** went wrong. Couldn't boot up after this or get to recovery. Went into download mode and tried to reflash factory firmware. JL2 Andriod 2.2 for Bell Canada I9000. Says successful but just boots to 3e recovery with " /dev/block/st110, (Invalid argument), E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: "
Below that it says: " your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions. copy default media content failed.
My biggest fear is the dreaded Int.SD card failure, the op gave me hope but same thing after every reflash.
Any suggestion?
I also have a Bell I9000M that did that. After attempting several combinations what ended up working for me was flashing JPU with 512.pit and repartition enabled, modem, PDA and CSC all selected in odin 1.3. That got me a working device. Then flashed JH2 to get recovery 2e back. Then flashed to the ROM I was originally on (Darky's 9.3). After that I flashed a CWM zip for the JL2 modem to get data back.

Also very important, for JH2 I did PDA only. No pit, no repartition.

Thanks icejagans. Its a relief to know that this is just an incompatibiliy between kies and the JPU firmware. Do you know if there has been an official 2.2.1 firmware available via Kies for UK unbranded I9000s?

Hi,
I have the same problem, Can´t mount /dev/block/stl10
My phone is Gt-i9000 Made in Korea i9000gsmh
I don´t know what stock from is factory rom for my phone.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks
I flashed my brothers phone with a JVR Korean firmware, the reception was terrible. I then proceeded to flash the JH2 firmware, thinking i could use that and upgrade to kies. BUT SMALL PROBLEM.
i found the firmware, flashed it along with csc and modem. but now when i open kies, it shows the JH2 Firmware in the software version area, but then besides JH2 its says (KOR).
I tried the reg hack, nothing worked, apparently my product code in "rededit" is set to the kor version, i tried changing it but nothing......how do i fix this?. its really pissing me off
edit** if i wanted, if its too much trouble to get back to stock, could i theoretically from froyo get cf root on it? then install gingerbread roms after flashing CWM through rom manager?
Try this to change your product code:
*#272*imei#*
Where imei# is the actual imei # to the phone.
Please keep in mind, changing this will wipe the phone to factory default

Hey the code didnt work! and i also reflashed using odin! it shows on KIES all the CSC: JH2, PDA: JH2 but after JH2 it says (KOR) and "this version cannot be updated."
is the phone rooted?
Best course of action if you want official stock 2.3.3 on the phone would be if it was rooted, then download SpoofFw from the market and change the firmware to the Canadian region one. I believe the program sets the phone to JL2.
After that, plug it into kies, it should want to update to KC1 first, then to KG3 (2.3.3).
After that, the product code will most likely still be KOR. If it is, do the code I mentioned above and change it to BMC.

phone is NOT rooted, but apparently using this you can just trick kies, and it should push a update! BUT everytime kies wants to start sending the update, my usb disconnects!?? and its only when kies wants to push the update to the phone
edit** i also tried flashing CF root thorough ODIN, has 2 files, the pit, and the pda CF root file...when flashed my screen just stuck at the GT I9000M logo..
Unless I'm wrong, that method hasn't worked in a while.
If you can root your phone, do so.. its pretty easy after that.
If you don't want to root, then download KC1 from samfirmware, and install it via odin. after that KIES should update to KG3. If it doesn't, I know the code I mentioned above works on both Froyo and Gingerbread.
However if your phone is still disconnecting, you may have to reinstall the drivers for the phone on your PC.
Can you link me to it? i cant seem to find it, i have a username also :s
edit* found it, will try flashing and hopefully this works
---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------
So i downloaded the KC1 firmware, and inside the rar file is called a I9000UGKC1_homebinary.rar, and inside that when extracted is a modem,zimgage, and other junk files....what am i supposed to load on the phone?
I dont see any csc, or modem files, is that huge homebinary supposed to be flashed on pda? so all your flashing is PIT and PDA?...
editt** never mind, you just put the huge file on pda, and select the pit and flash
Are you sure its a .rar file you downloaded and not a .tar?
If its a .tar, just put it in the PDA section of ODIN. Do not unrar or untar it.
Ok thank you so much Greeced, who sat here with me for the past little while triyng to fix this problem! After flashing the KC1 firmware, Kies now is updating my firmware....as of right now its backing up all my files. Once again thanks sooo much. Another reason why i love xda. They always help with all 3 smartphones ive had
Ha, you're lucky you had a question to the one problem I knew the answer to... I'm still very new to all this too... And many have helped me.
Glad it worked... Just remember if the product code is still KOR, the code above will now work.
Edit* - and for good measure, once the phone is back on KG3 and the BMC product code, be sure to boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and factory default to clear any residuals that may have remained behind. Otherwise you may get a few force closes.

Running into another problem, it will say checking firmware bla bla, downloading, but then my gt on the bottom right corner of kies, says "connection lost." it keeps doing this and is getting rather annoying....
edit** IMEI code did the change thingy, will test again...
Ok try this:
Before you do anything, boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and factory default, then try KIES again. If it still doesn't work:
1. Go into device manager with the phone plugged in, and remove the samsung drivers (uninstall).
2. Disconnect your phone.
3. Uninstall KIES.
4. Restart your computer
5. Download a fresh copy of KIES and install it.
6. Plug your phone in and have it install the drivers.
7. Run KIES and try it again.

+1 this has worked for me to flash a bell phone back to stop w/ the latest update
I got a GNOTE from negri on 11/9. It seems it was s polish version. It has been working wonderfully on ATT (after adding in APN manually for 3g/H+ -- voice worked out of box).
I rebooted Today (11/13) and now it has the crossed out circle instead of bars and says "Insert sim" when I start to do cellular related activities.
I have Seated and reseated; nothing. pulled the sim and put back in my SGT (phone enabled) and it works. Put back in GNOTE, still no sim detected! Stuffed SIM in my N1; it works.
Any suggestions?
I had a similar SIM card issue when I tried to activate the 1700MHz band in Service mode (for fun). Wipes and stuff didn't solve anything. The way to revert it for me was flashing a full stock Samsung firmware in Odin.
Can you provide more details on how you did this?
Where does one get a full stock sammy note firmware?
Are there some good instructions on this?
I have flashed my SGT via odin several times. Same odin? Same process?
In the development section you will find some versions.
The key for me was flashing a new Modem (Radio/base band) image via Odin I think. I changed Kernels and ROM's but only flashing a ROM including the Modem got rid of my SIM issue. Not sure because in the end I flashed a full N7000OXAKJ1 firmware in Odin from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310513
It did the trick, though the tread is dead. I think any ROM including Modem might help, I currently running the 2.3.6 N7000ZSKK1 firmware and it is great, also included a Modem.

when this happened to me, also due to turning on 1700, I was able to reset my phone by doing a factory reset. Unless your modem.bin is corrupted, you should not have flash a new rom.
- frank.
ugh....
you mean factory reset via Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset?
Tried that... No affect. Is there another way to do this?
Was hoping to fix w/o the flash. NOTE: I did go into that service menu with the 3G Freq are listed. I was curious when I saw the post. But I never changed anything. Just saw the screen and thought "neato". I wonder if there is another service screen that has an option for 'unfuck'???
Still searching for answers, before trying the ROM route...

Here is Chodthewacko posted about it:

Factory reset and toggle band settings seems to have worked for him. I got frustrated and Odin flashed everything, that worked for me.
whoa....
when I try that procedure (* # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # * ) I get a pretty empty screen...can't do much of anything...just some useless buttons on the bottom of screen when I select the menu button...
I think I recall seeing another number for doing a similar thing...

OMG I have the EXACT same issue as you, and I got mine from NEGRI also! It was working perfectly until last night --- all of a sudden I got that circle and I've been trying to fix it since then! Please keep me posted if you find a solution, I was going to try and contact Negri tomorrow for an RMA.
still nothing.
I did a root. No changes...
I did a rom flash of kk1 ... no changes....
I was trying to reflash the modem with KJ6 modem....but have a signature failed problem...
now what???
I solved my issue by a combo of those steps.
I did full flash in Odin of jk1. When I rebooted that didn't solve things so I wanted to flash the other recommendation, kk the Chinese rom.
Upon entering recovery I noticed I lost 2e and was on 3e. So I had to download chainfire's rooted jk1 kernel and do that zerg rush to get root. It was while I was doing that that suddenly my similar got recognized. By the time it finished installing the rooter kernel I had full reception again. I flashed kk just for good measure and its been smooth since. Hope it works for you too and I'd love to know what the heck broke it in the first place??

hi fwelland, it's hk1981...so you tried the rom flash and it didn't work?
Hi hk1981,
No the KK1 rom flashed fine. By all accounts it works well, except that pesky phone part. This KK1 rom is really 'clean' and very little bloat-ware and it installs a vanilla boot animation (not a carrier one). All that is nice, but didn't help my problem
I did notice a peculiar thing: while in recovery (android recovery, not cwm) I get some warning about "CSC something or other, fixing".
I have a short list of things to try before I have exhausted my DIY options -- the post just above looks promising.
I think the answer is out there. We just need to keep looking and keep attention on this thread and others like it. This place and others like it are a huge help and I'd like to solve it and then give back a good set of instructions.
FWIW: I wonder if there was some voodoo in the polish rom that caused some issues in the modem when a different than expected sim was installed? Or if one of those funky polish apps that updated it self before I could turn off auto-updates has something to do with it (doubt this -- I don't think apps can do stuff unless rooted...)...
Still searching....I got this other pesky problem to deal with now: w-o-r-k

I had that problem too, it doesn't detect that CSC and then goes ahead and applies something. Check to see if you are in 3e recovery, I think you are after having flashed vanilla JK1.
Re-flash Chainfire's rooted kernal for your appropriate version and then go back into recovery and it should be 3e and you can flash thru CWM then.
Also note; each time I flashed, I also wiped data/cache/davlik just to be sure.
yes it does say:
Code:
Android system recover (3e).
So I will need to try the methods you (crippenx) suggested.
FWIW, the CSC message that I get when I first enter recovery is:
Code:
# MANUAL MODE #
--Updating application...
Successfully update application.
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Applied the CSC-code 'TGY'
Sucessfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means. It does it every time I enter recovery.
FWIW, I never flashed this gnote with ODIN (I have used ODIN on my SGT several times). I got to KK1 by first rooting via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 (using 'forget the above steps') and then using the CWM 'kk1-wipe.zip' from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342797 -- I didn't use ODIN to get to kk1.
I see on the Root/Unroot thread, there is a KK1 kernel option for 'simple'. I think I will try that with rooted already script.
But I am open to any/all suggestions...

My rough guess is that the phone has a list of 'valid service menu options', and it cross references it with what is on the SIM card.
Once the phone decides it's not going to read your sim card, the service menu is blank. This is a real headache.
That's why once I set the 1700+2100 combo, and my phone boycotted my sim, I wasn't able to set it back.
That's really dumb, imho, to have a one way toggle like that. I'm fine for settings to enable/disable other settings, but for a setting to disable itself? ugh.
I would really like to know what's going on. I was planning on switching to AT&T before my next trip (which is soon) but I can't risk my phone glitching out like that during the trip.
Actually, the ROM is on my SD card so I guess it wouldn't be THAT horrible, but it's certainly not something I want to do. Perhaps we just need a way to flash back the modem.bin, assuming it's corrupted.

Sorry typo on my part. You are in 3e recovery because of that base flash, now you need 2e recovery which you can get via chainfire's rooted kernel. His installation procedure runs a batch file that uses that zerg rush exploit which I gather is partially from gingerbreak. It was during this procedure that my baseband suddenly came back, my sim card finally detected.
Once that was done, I entered 2e cwm with volume up,power,middle button and did erase of data,cache,davlik and then flashed kk rom via zip file.

For me flashing all partitions via Odin worked (no pit file or repartition). Tried all sort of stuff from recovery first with no result.
I don't know what partition flash from Odin did the trick, but you could try Odin flashing a Modem separately and check if that works. If not try the rest?
Finally got back to this.
After much fusing I finally got KK1 and cwm working. It was odd, I had to re-run the whole root process again.
At that point I could apply the KJ6 modem w/o any problems (via cwm)
no dice!
Still dead!
Not sure where to go next???
Can some one provide a few details about flashing a modem,rom and/or kernel via ODIN? Perhaps that method will work....

Oh when you flashed jk1 I assumed you did it the old way via Odin and the multiple files. That's how I did it and you're right, that may be what fixed it as when I used to brick my sgs and sgs2, it was always a full Odin flash of stock that brought it back from the dead
To flash in Odin put your phone in download mode. Fire up Odin. In csc point to csc file. In phone section point to modem and for PDA you point to the code file. Don't put anything for pit or bootloader and unchecked the repartition toggle.
Connect your phone and wait for Odin to detect it and show yellow in the status window. Press start and you're good to go. Hope this does it!
