Sorry if there has been a thread like this that was posted already, had a look but couldn't find what I am looking for.
I would like to restore my Galaxy S (running now with Doc's 6.2 ROM) back to JPY and would like to remove my root as I keep having problems with freezing on several ROMs.
What is the best way of doing this so I could send it away for warranty repairs if need be? I was thinking about just updating my firmware using Kies to JPY, but surely it can't be that simple?
Thanks for the help!
Undo root
Factory reset to clear data
Use ODIN to flash stock firmware .
Or flash via Odin if you saved your original rom

I didn't save my original ROM, but I got a JPY off samfirmware, should be the same? So just flash it as PDA and problem solved?
So I can't update through Kies anymore? I would prefer this so I can get the legitimate ROM by my carrier in case something stuffs up.
Thanks for your help!
I'm interested in the same thing. I am running Darky 7, but i have some FC. I made before a back-up of my stock JPY with clockwork. Can I apply that with clockwork? It will work?
Thanks

The same minus whatever your carrier adds so its not what comes with the phone .
You could use an older rom from samfirmwares and flash that then upgrade via kies and the recovery method to save your rom . You will need to spoof your setings its all in the post.

Hi, I want to install darkys rom
to do this, i need to install cwm, which looks quite easy to do.
But i need to know how to uninstall it because i dont want to void my phones warranty.
So, can you please help me, how to uninstall Clockworkmod recovery and go back to original recovery (2e) ?
I think you're missing something. I'm sure that installing that custom ROM will void your warranty. I don't know which version of Darkys you're looking at but I expect it includes root acces, likely includes Clockwork Recovery and likely also includes a custom kernel.
What I do (and I think most people who play around with custom ROMs) is install whatever app is needed / wanted. If something goes bust with your phone, you should in most scenarios still be able to flash back a stock firmware and submit it for service. That's exactly what I've done on two occasions (my service issues weren't a result of my flashing) and what I know many others have done.
Good luck.
gtg2,
i know i am installing a rom will void my warranty.
what i can do is, i can flash an official samsung i9000 rom, back to my phone.
but will it also uninstall clockworkmod recovery? or should i do something special?
install samsung firmware with odin, and then go to kies and update the firmware?
how can i go back to official recovery, mine was "recovery 2e" ??????

It's unclear from your messages whether you're still running the original firmware or have upgraded already. If you're on the original, enter *#1234# in your phone's dialpad and post back here what it reports under PDA. Using that, you can find your original firmware for Android 2.1 on http://samfirmware.com and flash it to go back to stock and recovery 2e when you're through playing with a custom ROM. If you're not running your original firmware, you'll need to figure out what your original firmware was (I don' t know what it would have been for your area).
Do you know how to use ODIN to flash firmwares? If not, read up on the reference guide for our phone. I've found it very helpful.

hey Gtg2,
First off, thank you for your helps.
I am sorry i couldnt make it clear, i hope i do now:
I am on custom rom now (Darkys 8.0 rom).
I am new to this and this is my 5th day with my galaxy, i bought it as second hand and 22months more guarantee i had.
I need to know how to go back to original rom and recovery because just incase. If i bring my phone now (with custom rom and cwm recovery) then the service will say your phone is out of warranty. So, i need to know how to go back to make everything original.
I noted my phones codes, here they are:
pda: i9000jvjh1
phone: i9000jxjg2
csc: i9000trcji1
When installing the custom rom, i didnt make a nandroid backup because i already found one in the net. So, i dont have nandroid backup too.
I never used odin nor samfirmware (as i couldnt find anything same with my phones codes there (pda: i9000jvjh1, phone: i9000jxjg2, csc: i9000trcji1 - it was 2.1 Eclair).
I can find a laptop to use odin anytime tho (i am a mac user).
So, as i understand from your post; if i find my stock firmware (dont know where i can) and install it via odin then everything will be original (cwm recovery will gone and recovery 2e will come back) ?????
A friend of mine (not so technical person tho) said that i should use nandroid to back to original firmware then use kies to install newer firmware (downgrade to 2.1 then upgrade to 2.2.1). Should i do this????
just i need to know the process... sorry for long msg.
Thank you...
You wont find the branded firmware that came with your phone unless you have a copy .
Simplest will be to use Odin to flash to an older version Eclair .
Then use the Kies registry hack to upgrade to current software from your provider that will be branded .It would not matter if clockwork was on as its a legitimate product .

Agreed. This would work.
Thank you very much to both of you...
I have a I9000t on CellularOne (MTPCS). It's original firmware was I9000tubjg5. I updated to Darky's 9.0.3 and it worked great. However the Wifi would not work. So, I told it to do a factory reset, and this bricked it. So next I used Odin to put a stock 2.1 firmware on it from the XDA forums. This worked, but then I could not connect to CellularOne, only roaming with T-Mobile. I then tried Darky's 8.0, then stock 2.2, and now back on stock 2.1. Does anyone have an idea to fix it back to CellularOne(MTPCS)?
I guess the experts on here don't have a clue about my problem.

More like you are in to much of a hurry .
Your problem is you installed Darkys rom it broke something and you compounded the problem by further upgrades .
Take it back to a clean install using Odin Block 2 method .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
I presume you set your network up manually and you may well have to do it again .If their is no CSC file for your network .
In which case i would personally use Odin to update to Eclair 2.1 and then use Kies for the official update and back up that rom .
jje
I'm also on MTPCS, and i used Darky's procedure from v5 to install. That included an ODIN to 2.1 with clockwork and some other reflashes.
Your best bet is to odin back to 2.1 factory, then start from there. It will take a while, but Darky has the best roms I've seen so far.
Thanks everyone for the info. Nothing worked. I called CellOne and got a replacement. Guess What? The replacement is an I9000 with 2.2.1 preinstalled! Firmware I9000XXJPU.
Hi all, really sorry about this question but I have tried looking and im getting really confused, I have a galaxy S in the uk on o2, it is a branded phone, I am running 2.2 at the moment but would like to upgrade to 2,2,1. I have unlocked it so all locks are off, I am using
PDA 19000ADJP6
phone 19000ADLP3
CSC I9000O2UJP3
build info 2010.11
kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]
I know ive got to remove the lag fix so do I just go to recovery mode and click to undo lag fix then can i flash to JPY or do I have to flash to something else first.
Sorry its stupid but im just learning all about this and dont want to break my phone. My husband will kill me!!
If you do not want to break your phone then you require the official update path through O2 via Samsung Kies . If indeed they have upgraded but if they have not yet they may not as 2.3 is due for release .
Any method of flashing stands a small chance of bricking your phone about 1 in a 1000 non recoverable .
Best custom rom would be to build your own in the rom kitchin .

Hi jje, thanks for the quick reply, o2 havent released the 2.2 yet, maybe they wont then, maybe they will wait for the 2.3.
the rom kitchen looks really scary, dont think I will go down that road, so would the JPY be ok for me or would I need to flash something else first. I just want to update to the stock 2.2.1. thanks again
JPY is fine .
But if you can flash via odin then the Rom Kitchin is easier and safer all you need is on one page .

probably flashing stock xwjs5?
been to rom kitchen and choose xwjs5 and ive disabled my lsg fix, the file i saved from rom kitchen is a zip file do i just copy that zip to my internal sd card, go into recovery mode then run it from there, also just in case it goes wrong i was told when i installed cwm i should backup my phone which i did, so how would i go back if it goes wrong thankyou
can anyone help please im waiting to flash now but need to check first, sorry to sound rude

I tried to update my Bell Canada Vibrant with Kies and I bricked my phone
I wanted to try the Odin method to recover my phone with the official Bell Canada Vibrant Froyo ROM but I couldn't find one yet... is there a place where I can download it?
BTW, does this ROM available in the update.zip format? I can get into the 3 buttons Download mode/Recovery mode no problem, so if such file exists I would like to try that first instead of the Odin method.
Failing that, is there a custom ROM that I can try on my Bell Vibrant?
Thanks!
Samfirmware.com has tons of ROMS. However you have to sign up as a member.
Download the XXJPU file. This is a 3 part compressed file that will need to be flashed via ODIN. You will need to check "re-partition". Also make sure you use the 512pit file. Once this ROM is flashed via ODIN, you will then download and flash the XXJL2 ROM (one file only). This was the last version Bell had. I hear KC2 is now out, which you can update via Kies.
I just downgraded from MIUI, and used this method about two weeks ago and all went well. From JL2 however, I flashed Darky's 9.5 and love the battery life and snappiness of my phone.
Although I'm not recommending you one custom ROM over another, In the past I have used Darky's 9.3, Ultimate ROM, Simply Honey and also cooked my own custom ROMS via romkitchen.org. I came back to Darkys ROM due to personal preference.
If you have any questions, or are looking for the files, I still have them on my computer and could make them available for you.

The official as in branded network rom that came with your phone unless you backed it up you will need a Google search .
Samfirmware does not carry many branded roms .
But i doubt if you will find one as nearly nobody saves them .
Possible work around is to flash stock 2.1 Eclair from samfirmware .
Then spoof registry to pretend its the correct ID and update to
Bell Canada Vibrant Froyo.

You can find the stock rom from samfirmware.com
While flashing if you are using a single file then repartition should be unticked, if you are using multiple file pda,pit etc then you have to tick repartition
You are on gingerbread.
In my experience best custom rom is Darky's . you can try 10.2RE then upgrade with 10.2.1

you can roll back to stock rom at any time. for getting stock rom you can visit samfirmware.com
Once you flash the Darky its included the kernel. If you want to change the kernel you can change it later.
