Can someone help me find stock 2.1 firmware that comes with t-mobile galaxy s in croatia?
I wanna keep it in backup if I will need to use warranty so I can flash it back to original state.
If you have not backed it up you will have to find somebody with a copy .

I didn't back it up. But if you know how to backup tell me so I can backup my current 2.2 version that is also original.

So it cannot be done?
"6.I want to install new firmware but I want to have a backup of my original firmware to go back to in case I need to go back for warranty reasons. Can I backup my original firmware somehow?
As of now, there is no way of backing up firmware entirely. However, there are firmwares out for every region and virtually all regions have received a 2.2 or 2.2.1 upgrade which can be applied through Kies or Odin."
It is possible, but tedious. How I would do it:
Use Kies patcher 1.7.0.0 to spoof your device back to 2.1.
Assuming spoof is successful, after downloading is completed and begin to flash your phone, click on the Kies patcher where there is an option to let you save the tar file. That tar file will be your backup.
If you want to get back to stock, use odin to flash. For more details, search for the thread on Kies patcher in the forum.

That method is the one i use as well as it gives a full rom but it is a long winded way of backing up original .

I looked there but there's a lot of firmwares and I can't figure out which firmware is for me.
According to the Kies Registry Patcher, 'CRO' is linked to this firmware...
I9000BOJI1/I9000CROJI1/I9000BOJF1/I9000BOJI1
Here is a link to JF1 from SamFirmware.com

Thank you very much. I'm downloading that so it will be my backup in case I need waranty.
Best regars!

Those are merely product codes for different networks, I too would suggest that you use Kies 1.5 and use Kies registry patcher to spoof product code for CRO/VIP and it should provide latest official firmware for those codes.
Other way is to manually download fw via samfirmware.com and flash it via ODIN.

That is not your network branded firmware .

Hi All,
I Upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to Froyo 2.2. All seems well but the performance does not seem all that great as well.
If i want to restore back to the Standard Manufacturer Firmware (i was on JG4) that comes out of the box with the I9000 what do i have to do? Any help here would be appreciated.
Download the firmware from samsung-firmwares and flash your phone with odin. There is plenty of flashing tutorials about to show you how to do it. Although if you managed to update to froyo then you properly already know how to flash it again

Hello. I managed to get the firmware from samfirmware.com for the original 2.1 (Asian version) but I couldn't get it to follow through. There would always be an error with regards to MD5 or something. What do I do? Thanks

I have the same problem as well, any helps here please?
Alot of the the DXJG4 firmware out there is corrupted.
So, try download DXJF4 from samfirmware.com (and flash with Odin with 513 pit) then uprade to DXJG4 through KIES.
NOTE: If KIES says "Device version's cannot be upgraded". Then you need to change your product code back to "XSO" (Search the forum on how to change product code.... about editing the nv_data.bin file)
My Flash history:
DXJF4-->DXJG4-->XXJPK-->DXJG4
I'm pretty new....
The firmware versions you guys are talking about are I hope, all "software" version and not real hardware chip revisions?
thanks
why dont you just flash your phone with 2.2.1 or 2.3.3(latest).....i know 2.2 is quite unstable FW but 2.2.1 will help a lots......I dont think you need to downgrade the phone back to the stock FW to solve any problem
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.

Great idea, thanks for that
Is there any way we could reflash the entire phone with official firmware, without the use of Odin/Heimdall (or any unofficial way). I liked the idea of iTunes where I can restore my device whenever I want.
KIES seems to have emergency firmware recovery, which I don't know how to artificially trigger it to work.

Firstly, apologies if this is already posts elsewhere, but I have tried looking for this with no joy (there's aloooot of threads n here lol)
I recently upgraded to the leaked official 2.3.3 using odin (sbl version).
However, I would like to flash with stock software now to get the official upgrade on my Galaxy S via Kies.
Can someone please help or point me to a guide on doing this and where i can download the correct version. I assume its not as straightforward as simply downloading a stock version of Froyo and flashing as I did to upgrade.
My Current phone version is showing as PDA:JVK / PHONE: JVK / CSC:JVK (CPW)
I should point out that this is the first time ive flashed software on my phone, so ideally a step by step guide, if there is one out there
Thanks for any advice you can give
Ok first of all what you need to do is download an older firmware, preferably in 3 files.
Look here: www.samfirmware.com (you need to register, free)
or look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
when you have your selected firmware, you need to download a software called 'Odin', this is what we use to flash firmwares to our devices. Look here for a tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
when you have 'Odin' and your 'Firmware' you may also need a 'PIT' file, this is explained in the above link. This will re-partition the device and restore the 'bad blocks' and remove any lagfix / altered file-systems ect ect.....
Because you are on Gingerbread at the moment, its possible that you have changed your boot loader, in order to restore this back to Froyo bootloader, i think the firmware you will need is JM1 ( you may need to search here / google for the correct answer)
anyway when the whole process is completed, you should be able to connect to KIES and flash the latest release.
Any problems just write back. im sure we can help get you going !!

I think that JM1 is eclair...
froyo works with the gingerbread bootloaders so you should just be able to flash a froyo rom i THINK.
Hi im also wanting to do the same looking at the samfirmware files would JS8 be ok to flash?

Any froyo ROM is fine as long as it contains the bootloaders as gingerbread ROMs have different ones.
Download your ROM. Check inside the PDA (sometimes code) tar. If you can't see by clicking on it find instructions how to untar it.
There should be a boot.bin and an sbl.bin if there is you're good to go. If not flash another one that has.
You can always reflash with your preferred froyo ROM after the initial flash has downgraded the bootloaders
This link tells you all you need to know about flashing with Odin.

Ok, I tried flashing using the JPY firmware. The process seemed to go okay.
But only getting the 'S' logo for ages then the phone starts ocaasional quick vibrations and screen eventually goes black.
Have tried rebooting ans reseting.
Please help
First boot after a flash does take a long time and you may get the odd little vibration. The screen may go black for a little while. Be patient. If nothing happens after six or seven minutes pull battery try again. If still no good reflash.
You did check repartition in Odin? And use. 512 pit? You need the pit file for a reflash.
Maybe md5 your firmware to check you didn't get a corrupted download.
If you can still get download mode don't worry you will be able to sort it. Most people on xda brick their phones most weeks!

well i reflashed the 2.3.3 leaked and its working for now, will try again tomorrow, getting a bit late.
Was wondering about whether I should try the JM1 instead of JPY. But, on the Sammyfirmware website they only had XW***JP1 which I understand is not for UK/Europe (mine is XX)?
But thanks everyone for your help so far, i may be back on in tears tomorrow
You can use any firmware - they were released with different codes in different regions but if you use a multi CsC like the one in the jpy ROM it doesn't matter because its the csc file that does the regional settings not the PDA file

Hmmm well showing on Samsungs FB page that the ginerbread update has been pulled (by Google)
Guess i'm sticking with the leaked version for now
Sorry to muscle in on this thread but I'm trying to go back from GB 2.3.3 to Froyo 2.2.1. I've flashed JPY with Odin, used repartition, 512 pit and registry patch 1.82 to XEU, phone works fine. Well, Kies then recognises that there is a new firmware (JPY as it happens) and starts the upgrade process, I then get an error message saying that this version can't be updated
Any ideas??

We now have two threads on the same subject but as this was started first I'll continue with this one.
Thanks for the suggestion, I flashed JPU but unable to connect to Kies so flashed the 1 file JPY but still got the same error message with Kies. Maybe I'll try reinstalling Kies and see what happens.
OK, I've reinstalled Kies, changed the product code in the phone with *#272*IMEI# to XEU and now Kies tells me that I have the latest firmware - great bring on the official version of GB.
can anyone give me a link of jpy firmware with bootloader?
the ones from samfirmare.com are WITHOUT bootloader...
Okay, seems that Samsung have finally released Gingerbread.....again. So am gonna make another attempt at downgrading to Froyo so I can get the official Gingerbread update.
However, because of the issues I had with my last attempt, I would like to make sure I am doing it correct.
Current Phone Software
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware Ver: 2.3.3
Baseband Ver: I9000XXJVK
Kernal Ver: 2.3.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
I believe the version I installed included the bootloader
The phone was purchased in the UK on T-Mobile but supplied through Carphone Warehouse
Steps:
Downloaded: I9000XXJPY (single file) & 512.pit from Samfirmware (does this contain bootloader? If not, will it cause an issue in updating on Kies?)
Remove sim & memory card
Start phone in Download mode
Plug in USB
Open Odin v1.3
Select .tar file as PDA
Select 512.pit file
Re-Partition - Not Ticked
Auto Reboot & F.Reset Time - Ticked
Click Start
Wait for installation to complete and phone to restart
Hopefully i've provided all the info required, but if not, please post or PM me. If anyone could please check my steps above and let me know if i'm doing this correct or not before I go ahead.
Much appreciated
hi there,
as i know, to run a 2.3.3 rom on SGS , we need to flash a new bootloader right?
but what if i wanna roll back to 2.2.1? do i need to do somthing to re-install a bootloader for 2.2.1?
cuz in most tutor of installing a 2.2.1 rom did mention DO NOT touch the "Phone Bootloader Update" option of odin3
thanks.

hello everyone,
I recently purchased my galaxy tab in dubai and could not update through kies as i got the following message "This version of device cannot be updated".
Then i flashed xxjq1 along with bootloaders from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 and the gt-p1000_mr_PIT.zip files. now everything works fine but the csc and pda fields are empty.
How can i get the pda and csc fields back. I want to flash the dxjpe firmware as this is the 2.3.3 asian version i found. Will this bring my csc and pda fields back to normal. Will this enable me to update future updates via kies.
Aren't you supposed to boot immediately into recovery after you flash the rom? That installs the csc files. Double check the instructions.
so can i go ahead and flash the dxjpe firmware , will this reinstate my csc files, and what pit file i need to use with this.
hopefully it would fix your problem. as for pit for the dxjpe use (GT-P1000_M.PIT)
I got the error when downgrading and flashing signed bootloaders... Rolling back from GB to froyo gave me that error... I suggest unsigning the bootloader then flashing again...

Your post no. 1 is confusing. You said you flashed to JQ1 yet the attachment says JM3. Anyway use this (by noxxious) procedure to get into a ROM without rooting then update thru kies.
The attachment showed the message displayed by kies when i wanted to update my gtab after purchasing. Since i could not officially update using kies i opted for manual flashing

Just follow the link above to downgrade to JK2 which is a version with unsigned bootloader. Then update thru kies. Kies should be able to detect your firmware as upgradable to JPE.
Good luck!
This happened with me after a soft brick. Reboot into recovery and see if CSC is installed, if not do a factory reset. For me flashing a stock firmware fixed it for me.

Right, I reminded him a while ago after flashing to immediately go into recovery to get the csc files installed. The JQ1thread has clear instructions.
Don't worry about that other rom yet - by correctly flashing JQ1 you will have the complete system and safe bootloaders. Once that's done, you can go in any direction.
