i want to flash back to stock to install another ROM, i have the rogers captivate and was just planning to use the at&t odin one click, will my sim card still work? since its at&t version? thanks alot.
What are you running and why flash to stock
CM7
was running serendipity 5.12, and updated to 6.0, i didnt worry about my sim, just left it out and used wifi. up and running on 6.0 working good. although i like the swype theme better on 5.12 where would i place the apk from the older version to my phone?
first off DONT use the odin one click to stock. you will get the ATT bootscreen.
unless something isnt working you dont need to go to stock between roms.
read the rogers i896 wiki for stock rom information and how to CORRECTLY flash rogers stock. and fix the ATT boot logo if you already screwed yourself.

There is a thread in this section that has the steps to go back to rogers stock perfectly I just used it to flash CM7 on it.

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?
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.
Hi, so last night i tried to put gingerbread and serendipity on my friends captivate thats unlocked to tmobile.
All the odin package to install the bootloader and gb went well but when i flashed the kernal it just messed the functionality of the phone up and i had to odin back to stock.
He is on eclair still. I was told that it should work with tmobile. I dont have to put serendipity on but as an end result he does want gb rooted. So...is there any tmobile happy roms available that will get my gb rooted?
thanks in advance
all great roms here are "t mobile happy". What exactly went wrong in the process?
Any rom will work, as long as the phone is unlocked. I assume you already know that the cappy will be missing one of the bands for Tmo.
ok, so all went smooth at first using odin to flash the bootloader and stock gingerbread. Next I went and used odin to flash the kernal and it installed properly and even showed up right in the settings as the right kernal.
After reboot these were the problems i encountered:
- home button didnt work at all
-when making a call and hitting send, the phone would turn off
-no data - no market or web connectivity
- other little things
the stock gingerbread was working fine after the first flash. can i flash any kernal to root or just retry the same one?
thanks
Sounds like you installed a i9000 rom. Double check your rom source.
on the splash screen it said i9000 but i thought it was just ported over or something. but i got it from the captivate page... uggh im lost if thats the case
Hello, I am currently on Miui but I want to flash official Rogers 2.3.3 to get Rogers bootloaders, as i hate flashing AT&T stuff when I don't have an AT&T phone. What is the safest way to return to either 2.1 or 2.2? I have tried returning to stock from an i9000 based rom a long time ago, and ended up bricking so I'm very careful and kinda scared to do it again since I haven't flashed in a while lol I do have a jig now in case things get hairy, but I'd rather be safe then sorry. I do have Heimdall 1.3.0 and a Rogers 2.2 package with everything included, should i just use that?
Use the Rogers package and flash. You don't really have a choice since to go back from CM7 or MIUI you need to repartition your phone.
use the stock roms in my signature. herehttp://bit.ly/eqg4W2
because your are coming from miui / cm7 it is recomended to flash the att one click first then the rogers stock roms
i was on miui for 3 hours yesterday. i HATED it. buggy and iphone phanboy bs.
but i did a nandroid backup before flashing miui, that i restored after by flashing ATT one click, rogers 2.2, talon kernel, then my nandroid backup.
Last time I tried to get off the i9000 rom's I used the at&t one click, and it bricked my phone, it would show an at&t screen for a few seconds and then it would shut off and keep doing that, but I had no download mode or anything, the Heimdall package has the bootloaders and everything in it, isn't it safe just to use that?
Sent from my Miui Cappy with XDA Premium
ive never used heimdall never needed to.
if you had no download mode last time then how is it working now?
it works. everyone has done it. i did it twice yesterday.
ATT one click, 2.2 rogers with odin, flash custom kernel with odin, boot into kernels built in CWM, flash new rom. done,.
Well i ended up making my own jig to get it into download mode and then tried to flash to stock, and my phone's screen turned green, and stayed like that for a while, so I unplugged, pulled the battery, tried it again and it was hardbricked, as in the jig didn't work and nothing else did either, so I sent it into rogers for repair. Plus my phone is a 1010 model, which is why it doesn't play well if the AT&T one click. I don't want to use that. Why must i use odin? does Heimdall not do the exact same thing?
hi all
i picked up a used rogers galaxy tab 7".upgraded to 2.3.3 official via kies.
GT-P1000R
rooted it.
unlocked it.
now i wish to use the phone capabilities and have a few questions.
i see in a couple posts that you no longer have to flash a complete rom,just a modem.
is that info correct?
i see that the jm2 modem seems to work best with the rogers tab,so do i just flash the modem with odin and that gives me the voice capability.
or do i need to flash a complete rom(European)?
also there is no dialer program so where do i get that at?or does it come with the modem flash.
is there a better modem than jm2 for the rogers tab?or the bell i9000 modem?
i am in canada
thanks,jeff

you need a euro based rom (official or custom) and bell i9000 modem.

thanks

Careful what you flash though, if it's from XDA any ROM should do you okay but Samsung official ROMs may contain locked boot loaders. Catch up on some reading before doing anything.
Also i suggest that you do a complete backup of your tab before flashing anything else so that you could revert back in case of issues. Stock ROGERS firmware is hard to find. And if you do a backup I wouldn't mind a copy of it as long as you keep your personal information out. As a matter of fact, what i am after is a un-rooted fully stock ROGERS ROM. As i have deleted my original backup, and would like to revert completely back to stock, I would be very thankfull if you could help. But none the less you should do a complete backup, something like the roto or nandroid backups.
Try the OVERCOME rom, it's a great place to start as a noob to flashing, they have very detailed tutorials and the ROM is good.
EDIT: And the OVERCOME rom does work with the bell i9000 modem just fine for phone calls. Although the volume on the tab is not the greatest for a speakerphone.

darned,i rooted and unlocked it earlier this week.
i definitely would have done a stock backup for you.
can i unroot?i used oden and one of the cf rooting images.
unlocked using galaxy s unlock from market.
can i even revert back to stock?if so i will do a backup.
i have done nothing else to the stock rogers 2.3.3
i searched my hardrive but kies must delete the firmware after flashing.

Thanks for the offer. But no need to go through all of that unless you can un root with something like super one click (fast and easy, but I don't think that will work for you). If your tab is still under warranty you might want to learn how to root and unroot and restock and such (its all covered in the forums). Otherwise I don't want you playing with your tab and have a "bad" flash trying to help me out. Do read up in the dev section before you start flashing custom ROMs.
That said if you do feel comfortable flashing and decide to make a backup for yourself I definitely wouldn't mind a copy.

hi
not scared of bricking the tab,i have been flashing samsungs for the last couple years,captivates etc.my last tab i did a supposed gps fix which ended in a bootloop.
i managed to get it back but with a modified 2.2 firmware.then kies would not let me upgrade to 2.3.3(unofficial firmware error)
my problems have always been actually returning to stock.
in recovery i have the orange clockwork recovery that has an option to do factory reset.will this take me back to unrooted and unlocked???
if so consider it done.
i will need direction to do a full backup after that.
jeff
Doing a hard reset will NOT un-root or re-lock your device (as far as I know). The factory reset will clear the data and cache and should not touch the system. You have to un-root your device using the method you rooted it with or something along those lines.
As far as a backup is concerned, creating a system backup has been covered in the forums before. There is plenty of detailed instructions on performing a backuphave a look at the Roto Backup method.
Just picked up a galaxy tab ( rogers )
gt-p1000r
firmware 2.2
all stock
no root
no unlock
I would like to "give back" something
for all the HELLp you guys have given via these forums
( i swear all my grey hair started once i dumped my blackberry and went samsung and found this site! )
Anyway
If you are still looking for the a copy of the STOCK system before I start to play...
I will try to figure out how to make a copy for you
So I ****** up, I'm usually good with this stuff but I don't know...
Anyways here is what happened. I had a rooted stock rom on Jellybean. Working fine I wanted to upgrade so...
I installed safestrap 3.71 and flashed the Urdroid stock rooted kitkat rom. Then I went onto ODIN and installed the files in this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712039
I got an error and realized crap the ATT Note 3 is not the same as the Rogers version...
ATT = SM900A
Rogers = SMN900W8
soooooo I realized I've been in the wrong forum this whole time and I was wondering what can I do to get help? Safestrap/recovery still works and I'm pretty sure I can flash JB roms still. I'm not sure which rom to use and where to go now.
What can I do to get back to stock or even better get a working Jellybean Rom?
Thanks a lot!
Okay I'm downloading the stock firmware from that sammobile and going to flash it with ODIN, hopefully should put me back to factory condition
