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 ;(

Hello guys,
yesterday i installed the latest jpo firmware update on my galaxy s, after that i installed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 [KERNEL] SpeedMod Froyo 341MB RAM [NEW: vH w/ BFQ].
Then my sim card was not recognized by the phone with jpo firmware anymore.
I tried everything, deleted everything, did every possible wipe and installed 4 different firmwares via Odin.
The only Firmware which still recognizes my sim card is the JM1.
After a clean install on JM1 my sim is working. But when i am using kies to update to the latest jpo/2.2 the sim is not recognized by the phone anymore.... Even after every possible wipe and factory reset... I dont know why!??
I tried 2 different sim cards (2 different cell phone companys), both are fine, working in every other mobile phone and with firmware JM1. I also tried this solution, but it doesnt work... Also my galaxy S is unbranded and has the DBT Code...
Any ideas? I dont wanna use 2.1/JM1 anymore...
Thanks!
HELL YES!!!
I just installed Docs froyo rom and copied my backuped efs folder with root explorer, now everything is working fine again!!! HELL YESSS!!!
Hi,
I flashed my phone samsung galaxy s i9000 (standard) pda xxjf3, phone xxjf3, csc Raje5 To froyo xxjpc via odin as kies would not update.
The problem is phone is not recognising my sim cards now im on orange uk, but I have tried a few others phone is def unlocked.
I think the xxjpc update is for another country, Im not sure which one I should use in the UK, Is there anyway I can fix this or restore to original stock rom.
I just hope I haven't goosed my phone, any help would be greatly appreciated.
do *#1234# and check what phone/modem version it says
i had the problem that it was Unknown after a flash, had to restore my efs folder from a backup to fix it
Hi
My SGS won't recognize my SIM card.
A little background I was running froyo ugjl2 from bell i guess but I actually am with Sasktel. I tried to flash jpy the phone wouldn't load and tried to return to jl2 now i get it to load up but not to recognize my SIM. Any help would be appreciated. Tried to access the Mobile network settiongs but can't get into it. I am thinking of flashing jh2 then connecting to kies to get the official jl2 will this work?
Thanks
flashing through kies should do the trick as it 'theoretically' should put the phone back to how you got it....
you can use the registry patch for kies to get the latest official firmwares (even if not in your region)
or you can manually download it and flash thru odin.. but either way flashing back to stock should fix you up
I updated my SGS using Kies to 2.2.1. I have not rooted the phone or made any other changes to the firmware before this. After the update, my back key randomly seems to have gotten "stuck" and pressing the home key snapped a screenshot. This was bad enough. Now, both softkeys have stopped working, although the home button seems to work fine. I have done every reset on the phone that I can find, but still no help. Of course, I am still running 2.2.1. I can't think of any other cause for the problem except the update. Has anyone else had or heard of this and does anyone know of a fix?

I have had this problem before. What I had to do to fix it, was flash a 2.1 rom with Odin.
If you don't want to go that route, check in Kies somewhere in the tools tab for an emergency firmware recovery. Hook the phone up and see if that will fix your issue.
Have you factory reset your phone?
I have already tried the factory data reset and the factory format. Nothing from either of those options. I tried the Kies emergency recovery and it is asking me for a code that I have no idea where to get...
I am downloading the files now to try the Odin flash...I guess we'll see how that works.
The next logical question would be why did this happen? Will I be able to update to Froyo? Or is this gonna happen again the next time I try to do an official update?
It could just be a buggy flash. I really don't know the answer to that.
If your 2.1 rom has 3 files, flash with a 512 pit and re-partition.
If 1 file, no pit no re-partition.
Yes, you will be able to upgrade to Froyo afterwards.
Not sure what happened, but something didn't work right.
After the first flash, all appeared to be well, but when I tried to swipe the screen to unlock it, nothing happened.
So I tried it again. Now, there is an eight sided star type thing that keeps flashing on the screen. If I disconnect the USB cable, the Samsung screen keeps flashing. I can't get ADB or Odin to recognize anything.
Any ideas?
PHEW! Using the button combinations I was able to get back into download mode and I am currently flashing again. The most surprising thing is that the button combination trick didn't work before. Hopefully it will work this time.
Damn! So much for that. Even after flashing again, everything just keeps flashing. I would greatly appreciate any help or ideas that anyone might have.
Alright, final update for the night. I finally got it flashed, and its now flashed to

At some point I might try to do the Froyo update again.
Now the bad news...soft keys still not working. Any other thoughts on what could cause them not to work?
The firmware that you have just successfuly flashed, was it 3 files or just 1?
Have you tried to update and touch key drivers previously?
I updated with a 3 file which I found at samfirmware.com. It's currently the only thing I could get to work. I believe that it is what I had before the Froyo update. And I seem to have all functionality except the softkeys.
I haven't done any other updates since or any driver updates. I didn't even know there were any.
Did you use a 512 pit and re-partition?
I had this problem before once, and I flashed this firmware and it resolved the issue. It's up to you if you want to try it. It is an Australian 2.1 firmware.

If you want to give it a try, use a 512 pit and re-partition.
Alright, I downloaded your files, but when I tried to unzip the files, I keep getting an error the the files are corrupt. Not sure what is going on there.
I am a dumba$$. I just realized that my wife has the EXACT same phone as me. We got them at the same time, so all the original information is the same. What I need is:

Is there anywhere that I can get this firmware? Is there anyway to make a backup copy from my wife's phone that I can just install on mine? I do not have root access on here phone, and after all the trouble I'm having with mine, I don't think that she'll let me, so hopefully there would be a way to do it without it.
Hey man,
I did a little searching for you, but could not find that exact firmware. I did find this, and it should work.

Edit: I did read through this thread a bit, and it seems that this rom may disable 3 button recovery. If that's the case, I would still flash this to get your softkeys working again. Make sure to flash the 3 button fix after this firmware flash if it no longer works.
I actually found and flashed that firmware a little while ago with no improvement. Still no softkeys. I am completely confused. I thought this was software, and now I am beginning to wonder. Is there anything else that I can install that might fix this?
Since I no longer have stock firmware and don't seem to be able to be able to find the original again, I'm not sure that I am even going to be able to take it back to my carrier, since I believe that the warranty is voided unless I can return it to the original firmware.
Hello,
I'll keep an eye out for that firmware, it has to be somewhere you would think.
In the meantime, to pull the backup from your wifes phone, I do believe you need root access. Maybe you can pursuade her by cooking her a nice dinner with a good bottle of pinot noir
In the meantime, I'll keep looking for you.
I'm not even sure how long it's been anymore, but I am still working on this...
Okay, so I think I'm just going to swipe my wife's phone and root it while she is not looking...
My question is this: Is there a guide that will tell me how to 1. root (then unroot) her phone and 2. create a backup of her firmware that I can install on my phone. Also, if said backup can be used with Odin, I will be happy to share it here since it seems to be lacking and much needed.
