Hi Guys, after just getting my phone back from repairs. They loaded the new Bell Froyo ROM. Sorry I don't remember the exact firmware (jk4 I think). After playing around with it I decided to flash another Froyo Firmware, Now I do not have the CarHome and DeskHome. I know there are some you can download for free in the market but I really liked the layout of those stock ones. Does anyone know where I can download those again?

ok, so i downloaded a stock froyo Rom i897ucji6-ocd-rev02 low, and the son of a gun works perfectly. Problem, i want to flash a custom rom from cognition but the instructions say to flash back to your stock rom which for me would be 2.1.1 becasue i have a samsung captivate from att, i cannot get back to 2.1.1, tried using odin master clear nothing changed, could the reason i cannot get back to 2.1.1 is because i deleted the att bloatware? and is there a download that will bring my phone back to 2.1.1? if not i can live with the froyo 2.2 stock. and one more thing Please can some all knowing developer create a program (app) to allow the att captivate (god love em) download after market apps.
LOVE THIS PHONE and the xda forums are good reading even for a android neewby

Master clear does not bring you back to stock. You are using the wrong aspect of the odin program

Hi guys purchased an SGS from Hong Kong, im in NZ, its on 2.1 and im desperate to get it to 2.2, is there anything i need to lookout for when upgrading?
If something happens and i need to revert back to stock do i need to use the HK firmware or can i use one local to my country?
Whats the best method to upgrade to 2.2, should i use a custom rom?
any help would be sweet, been reading alot but getting confused.
You should search up a program called odin. Its a pc program that most people use to flash their phones. Its also very versatile, can flash 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 etc. Careful though, flashing the wrong settings may cause your phone to not boot. The guides on odin are pretty clear though.
Another thing to familiarize yourself with is clock work mod recovery. Its an app on your phone that can also be used to flash firmware or install applications - very useful.
Should something go wrong when flashing, there is a thread on xda called EZ base. Its a pre configured set of odin files that are very effective in restoring a phone in bad situations.
Youtube may be your friend to help you see how this type of thing works but nothing beats trying it yourself
Thanks ive done heaps of reading, aware of both those programs, just worried about flashing the wrong rom!
Flashed roms on android before but all my phones have been from my country
will look for the EZ base thread as back up.
Just check in your settings which version of Android is on your phone now, then go to samfirmware.com and check with which region your firmware coincides. There firmwares are generally split by continents, so all Asian firmwares should work for all Asian SGS but check to be sure coz your phone may have been imported
Hi guys, im new to the sgs, but got some android experience. I was wondering if i can backup the whole ROM/system from my sgs (running 2.2.1 but its kinda branded from my carrier), so that i can flash the latest 2.3.3 or even 2.3.4 with odin and if for any reason i have to take it into warranty, i can reflash (preferably with odin) the stock branded rom that came with my phone. I would really appreciate, if anyone can tell me that, i searched around but couldnt really find this specific question. ive checked the stock ROM thread, and my version is there but im not sure its the branded one, cuz mine says 2011.02 and the one there says december 2010.
As long as you are rooted and have clockwork mod installed you can do a nandroid backup from the recovery menu I believe.
To restore you would have to flash the same base rom though, i.e. any 2.2.1 ROM then let it reboot then root it boot into recovery and restore nandroid backup.
I think that should work.
I'm sure someone wil correct me if I am wrong.
I wish I had done this when I bought by phone from Orange UK branded.
If you find out how to create an odin version please post here for others too.
ok thanks, i flashed the newer version over anyways.. thanks anyways
Is this correct?

I have the same issue and after having mine sent into samsung for a successful repair (with a bunch of arguing and persuasion) I would like to back up this stock rom before continuing in order to avoid that situation again.
Mines a i9000M (bell version )
You always have to hack the ROM a bit to have a backup. Either you flash a custom kernel that'll give you CWM/nandroid backup or you root the ROM so you can do some adb magic.
There are also tons of stock ROMs floating around the interwebs, so with any luck you can find your own stock there.
Hey guys, I am soon going to flash my i9000 and i am preparing ahead. I am currently on Orange so i am looking for an Orange stock rom to flash back to if i ever need to. I have looked around but i cannot find one. On samfirmwares it just has provider roms and i dont know which ones is Orange. I am currently on 2.2.1, although it doesnt matter if i am flashing.
Thanks in advance
Just flash a kernel that gives you root and CWM and make a NANDROID-backup.
BTW: I'm looking for the firmware of the Austrian provider '3', anybody has that?
Instead of doing a CWM, use CheckFus Downloader for REAL stock ROM : http://fus.nanzen.se/
Hi XDA developers,
I'm a newbie. I've been searching posts on xda and still couldn't remedied the problem. I currently have the i9000m from Bell Canada. I upgraded my i9000m to 2.3.3 Gingerbread earlier in Kies. Recently, I've been trying to unlock my phone and without rooting, the best solution seems to be going back to Eclair, so I followed the youtube tutorial by djeddieone and tried to go back to Eclair using Odie. It basically flashes a rom (I suspect that's a T-mobile rom that shouldn't be flashed onto my phone) in Odin. My phone no longer boots and cannot get into recovery mode. (When I try to start the phone, there are random colour dots showing on the screen.) The only mode that works seems to be downloading mode. I think I need to flash a stock rom from bell, but the link on sammobile (i9000ugjk3) seems to be expired and cannot be downloaded. So i'm trying to find alternative ways to see how to remedy this problem.
Thanks in advance.
I highly doubt that Bell will release a new update for the i9000m. You are better finding a newer rom (JVT or newer) and flashing that via Odin. Im using CM9 nightlies (but I feel it has too many bugs for daily use). If you can find a newer rom that is tweaked, you should notice better battery, faster, etc.
Just my $0.02
Hey I had similar issue - tried flashing new firmware w/odin & stuck with download only... I finally went to a Bell store to send it in, but they were able to use new firmware recovery software to re-flash stock gb2.3.3! I just said Kies messed-up the phone... Anyway, it will get you back to stock functionality. Good luck!

Since you can still get into download mode, you're OK.
You can download the UGKG3 ROM files from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Search for UGKG3.
The file is in 7Zip format. If you don't have something to unpack it, get IZArc.
Flash the 3 files and you should be up and running.

After you restore your phone to KG3 via Odin/Download mode per Black Rose's link earlier in this thread, you should be back where you started on KG3.
Then from KG3 ( 2.3.3),
I suggest:
1) Use SuperOneClick to root your phone (SuperOneClick can also UNroot your phone later if you want).
2) Use Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz available on the G-store.
This worked well for me with no problems.
And just for reassurance, NEVER flash a ROM that is not explicitly for the i9000/i9000M to this device.
