[Q] major problem, not working properly at all, please help!! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, I installed Darky's ROM 6.0 and its absolutely amazing, but I wanted my normal T-Mobile UK firmware back on my i9000 (the firmware I got my i9000 with) and I had updated to i9000XXJP3 using Kies on my T-Mobile UK i9000 from 2.1 and it had worked quite well. I wanted that firmware back so I downloaded it and flashed it using Odin, however nothing is working properly (very slow even after factory reset), it connects to Kies but when I go to firmware upgrade on Kies my phone does not show up and last of all it is not T-Mobile UK branded like it was when it came with the phone.
Please I do not want any more rubbish (Darky's ROM 6.0 is not rubbish for the record it is amazing), I would just like the T-Mobile UK firmware that came with my phone the first day I opened it and everything to be like on that firmware. I don't care if it is 2.1 (2.1 came with my phone) I just want that particular, branded, locked firmware back.
Please help.

no one knows what to do? no one can help?

[Q] Which firmware do I get please? just alittle help

Hi guys,
I have used Odin once before when I broke my phone, i have version I9000XXJPK
Can someone please tell me the version i need to download so that i have official 2.2 for UK spec?
There are so many numbers etc im getting lost off.
I have been on samfirmware and I just cant decide which version i need to be official.
My phone currently cant send SMS and ive read thats because of something wrong with the custom FW i have on. (it was like this when i bought it from the shop second hand)
Thanks

Hey there. It can be a bit confusing, but follow the notes on samfirmware and you should be fine. I upgraded from T-Mobile UK's stock firmware (I forget which version) to JPA, via JM4.
I am using JPA now (again, not sure which provider this is, but it seems to be fairly stock), with no problems.
Make sure you check the notes for each ROM (ie, some have an upgrade path, and some do not). You may need to use a different PIT file and partition accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks mate,
All the release dates are old on Samfirmware, the official froyo for the uk wasnt released until November. the latest firmware on samfirmware is October....
Im really confused how i get from my FW to an official newest froyo. Kies wont work for me at all, tried 3 computers now.
Seriously, screw Kies. It wouldn't upgrade my unit (obviously as there was no provider firmware available), so I patched it with the util posted here and it flashed to about 50% then failed, thus bricking my phone in the process.
If you're not bothered about your provider bloaty junk that ships with the phone, you may as well just bite the bullet and flash JPA or JP0 via Odin. I doubt these are UK specific ROMs (as you mention, Froyo was slated for Nov here in the UK) as samfirmware's are all dated Oct 10, but my phone seems just fine- been using it for around 2 weeks now with no hitches.
Best of luck!
How about installing Doc Froyo custom rom?
It is using froyo 2.2

[Q] Which 2.2 ROM for Australian phone in USA

Hi,
I've recently moved from Australia to the USA (with an AT&T sim) and would like to upgrade to 2.2. Kies still does not have an image available so I'm looking to flash it myself but not sure which ROM file to use.
The phone is unlocked and unbranded. The version details are:
PDA: I9000DTJG4
PHONE: I9000DTJG3
CSC: I9000XSAJG2
I've been reading about the I9000UGJK3 image but I believe that installs the Bell branding on the phone, which I'd like to try avoid.
Which image should I be using?
Thanks
Ivan
use information from this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810232
to locate your code
then use information from this topic to flash your phone, using the ROM for your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
if the KIES comes back with no results for Froyo, then that means it has not been released yet for Australia region, and you will have to pick from any of the other flavours available
or stay in 2.1
Thanks for the quick reply.
According to regedit I have a GT-I9000HKAXSA. This doesn't seem to be listed as a "known" product code just yet. Which might explain why Kies doesn't have an update for it yet.
I guess what I'm trying to determine is a) can any image be placed on any phone? b) if yes, then what would be the best image if I wanted to flash my phone and have it work in the USA on AT&T (I'm trying to make sure that my correct 2/3G bands are still going to work post flash)
Dude, I did this tonight and it worked
http://webtrickz.com/how-to-update-...oid-2-2-froyo-via-kies-anywhere-in-the-world/
And I'm in Australia on the optus network
I just couldn't believe the lag and I didn't want to root my phone just yet
I also couldn't believe that Vodafone got froyo straight out of the box!
when it says "refresh" after you've done the regedit bit it means hit your home button. worked straight away
Vodafone straight out of the box?!? Where did you hear that? Not true I'm with vodafone australia and we got eclair, I did the reg edit to get XXJPO like you
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks Guys, I managed to sort this by using Odin and putting I9000XWJPA on it. Almost bricked the thing b/c I didn't read all the documentation completely!
Seems to be working like a charm at the moment.

[Q] Need help finding orange uk eclair roms

Hey all i need to put my phone back to the stock firmware i currently have JM1
the reason i have JP8 is because yesterday kies told me i had an update and my laptop crashed halfway through and buggered it up so i found a guide on flashing and it included a modded JM1 and all the files so i just went with that.
However orange called me saying i need to return the handset as there's some kind of fault with it.
what files would i use to return it to the stock eclair orange branded firmware?
thanks in advance
Tony

[Q]Get back to Branded Firmware

HI i upgraded my T-Mobile sgs to the 2.2 firmware using the kies patcher my question is now is there a way for me to default back to the t-mobile 2.2 software?
Regards
Cprl.rst
Yes use the original T mob rom you saved with Kies Patcher .
Then update to current TMob via standard Kies .
NO SAVED ROM
Read Kies Patcher and find out how to spoof registry and or flash back to Eclair using Odin and then update via standard Kies update .

do you know what the uk t-mobile eclair code is

does anyone know where i could get hold of t-mobile 2.2 samsung galaxy s firmware? or the 2.1 either would be good
Backup original ROM
Is there any way to backup my original (branded) ROM?
I intend to flash another ROM on my phone, the I9000BVJJPD one, which is the same a friend of mine has on his phone, an i9000B from Brazil. He got the 2.2 upgrade via Kies, but mine didn't, so I contacted Samsung and they said that my phone was branded and so it couldn't get the upgrade.
Since both are basically the same models, I wish to flash to the unbranded ROM, but I'd like to keep my original ROM as backup in case something goes wrong. Since it's not available in the web, how can I make the backup myself?
By the way, my current version, from *#1234# is I9000BVJJI1

[Q] tmobile uk help needed

Hi ,
My girlfriend has had her galaxy s for about 4 months i recently flashed darkys rom onto it, with no problems (excellent rom btw), but now the phone has started doing menu and back on its own randomly making it impossible to do anything on it for longer than a few minutes , its like the soft keys are being pressed (but they arent of course).
I've had a google and came to the conclusion its a hardware fault and not software (ive tried factory reset / re-flashing roms/ kernels) but now i have the problem i cant send the phone back to tmobile with a custom firmware so is there anywhere i can download tmobile firmware and stock kernel to make it like when she got it ?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
In the General chat, there is a link to all the stock roms. Select the one you want and install that one. I am on t mobile in the uk and my code is TMU so that will most likely be fine for you.
By the way - Its exactly what I did last month and they fixed it fine for me with no questions...

hi thanks for the quick response , ive already installed a stock firmware but when the phone boots up it doesnt do the tmobile logo now, plus the firmware i have installed, i'm not sure if thats ever been available on tmobile , which firmware did you send your phone back to them with if you dont mind me asking ?
Hi,
I used the JP1 stock rom here. I remember now that once I installed the stock one I used the Kies registry hack to put the latest t-mobile firmware on there. Then it was branded T-Mobile again. The only problem is that now kies has been updated the Registry hack may not work.
If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help?
CtC
I would blame the rom before the hardware and want a wipe to a very clean phone and install a stock rom .
You cannot download TMobile firmware you need somebody to give it to you unless you backed up your original firmware .
The only way to get TMobiles firmware would be to downgrade your phone to stock Eclair then use Kies to update as normal to Froyo branded TMobile or if that failed use the registry patch .
Fix on a non stock rom is going to depend on the guy that picks the phone up and the problem .

"If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help? "
It would be brilliant if you could do that, how can you send it though ?
@ jjegan i have completely wiped the phone, changed the firmware to 2.1update1 same problem still exists with the soft keys randomly pressing themselves thanks anyway .
can any one give me some advice about making this phone look as stock uk tmobile as possible before i send it back ?
