I posted a question yesterday about my android Market not working. I tried every possible thing but I cant get it to work.
So now i'm thinking to install apk files manually through droid explorer. I was able to install some apps by download the apk from internet and using batch installer in droid explorer. But I cant install Flash Player and Asphalt 5. It shows Failure - Invalid APK.
My SGS is from 3 UK and i'm using it in India after unlocking it.

Not working
I had a SGS (Official unlocked Indian version) in Nov 2010 and it had stock 2.1 . Everything used to work properly on it.
But why is this SGS having problems ? Is it that the v2.2 has bugs ? Or is it because i'm using an 3 UK unlocked phone, as it has 3 branding ?
Can I flash the phone with an official Indian(or any other clean) ROM ? Can it solve these Market and invalid Bugs ? Because the hardware platform is same on both, I suppose !
SGS Tools market fix try .

Can you download Asphalt 5 from Samsung Apps which is installed by default?
else you can flash a JVK ROM (2.3.3) or JS8 ROM (2.2.1 stable) if you dont have many apps? I used these ROMS and its working fine. I live in India too.

Do u have an Indian version ? Is it possible that the hardware is different ? Or maybe the market sends info about the phone by giving IMEI, etc. and then it may be blocking my access as i have unlocked the phone ?
Where can I download the *stock* JS8 firmware and also get it's instructions, as I have never flashed a firmware manually before.

Yes that is an indian firmware but i recomemd you to try js8 firmware. U can get odin frkm samfirmware only and after downloading the firmware you can flash it through odin. First download the js8 firmware from the asia section i guess! And yeah darkys rom is a custom rom!

Unzip the js8 firmware you downloaded. You will see that there are three files pda file modem file and csc file.
If u bave the 502.pit file included use that or download the 502.pit file from samfirmware. Now open odin and then in the pit select 502.pit file. In the pda selct the pda file which you got after unzipping the js8 firmware. In the phone select the modem file and in csc select the csc file. Select repartition in odin.
Now put ur fon in download mode and wen it goes intk download connct it to the pc. Remebr to open odin on pc before you conect the phone. After you have connected the fon u will find lines appering in odin stating that the phone has been detected. After that press start and then wait for your phone to flash!

In the zip file there was one tar file : NEE.tar

modem.bin

Which three files should I select in ODIN ??
Someday plz help
Someday plz help
Should I start the flashing process ?
I'm afraid i'll brick the phone !
Somebody plz verify which files should I select ?
Should I do a hard factory reset ? Will it lock the phone again ?
Or a soft factory data reset is ok ?
Do i have to debrand the phone first ? Like through the kies registry patch ? I has 3 UK branding.
Current software config is :
PDA : I9000NEJP5

Which of these are the PDA, Phone and Modem files ??
You downloaded a single file XWJS8
YES
What the f8888 you are doing extracting the files for .
Think you need to read all the FAQs before you do anything at all .Your last post does not make much sense . Read and learn and start at the beginning not the middle .

Also you can read he has clearly mentioned that there will be three files in my download. So I was a bit confused.
So should I select the NEE.tar as PDA file and check repartition and just hit the flash button ??
I'm willing to install I9000XWJS8 on my SGS
Is I9000XWJS8 compatible with PHONE : I9000NEJP2 and CSC : I9000HCGJP5 ??

Select repartition to avoid issues. And then put ur fone in download mode and flash. Remember to open odin on pc before you connect the phone to the pc. Phone should be jn download mode. Hope you flash this time.

Seems like my SGS doesn't support recovery & download modes.
I first held volume UP + Home button. Then while pressing them I also pressed the power button. The phone runs in SGS logo boot loop if i keep them pressed. I searched on forums, i found that we have release the power button as soon as SGS logo shows up. I did so and the phone boots up normally. Is my method wrong or the recovery & download modes could be really locked ?
Should I attempt that bootloader fix for enabling these 2 modes ? How safe is that ?

Have you tried samsung-firmwares.com?

hmm... downloading right now from , www.samfirmware.com will report if it is the full firmware ... in a short while
waoo.... just flashed back to ddjg4 the official firmware for india.. now when i checked with *#1234# it shows all pda, phone and csc as i9000ddjg4 ... the file contained only 2 files one was some dll file n one was add_odd .. i just used add_odd as the pda. with the pit 512 file .. and it worked like a charm...
mission accomplished
dude really need you i need to get back my stock rom, samsung galaxy s i9000ddjg4 rom i just installed some theme and my whole phone is screwd please help me getting phone back to normal
PS i have never flash a phone in my life
hello,
my phone is branded to orange in the uk. i have been looking into this for the past 3 days.
i am now at the point where i am ready to flash with odin but i am unsure which firmware to flash with, and i have read so much info im getting my head all wrapped around the situation
basically my current firmware is
PDA:I9000 BVJS4
PHONE: I9000 BVJP4
CSC: I9000 ORAJS4
version 2.2.1
i have looked at http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm and the amount of firmware staggers me not one all i am requesting if someone would be so kind and reply saying "flash this one mate"
i may have already read the answer but i have spent 3 days trying to figure it out for myself.
it was locked to orange but i have since unlocked it. it is currently rooted.
im not particularly bothered about warranty because i can add it to my home insurance to cover loss or damage. and from what i have read the phone is difficult to brick fully,
i have the download mode already, its just a case of get the firmware and flash.
i apologise for the very long post and i hope someone can help me
thanks for reading.
EDIT: i already have a backup of the efs folder
in my opinion don't use odin only , only if you want stock or root . Go to Doc Rambone's kitchen and build yourself your desired rom . I suggest JS8 wipe (you will lose all your data) or nonwipe ( you will have crappy data from previous rom ) , select your own csc if you want APN Settings , hardcore/SuperCurio/DamianGTO(never tested this) Kernel at your own desire , an european modem , themes sounds and boot amination at your own desire and need , and at apps and tweaks choose what you think you will use. SORRY FOR CRAPPY ENGLISH ( I'm not a native English speaker and I wrote very quickly .
I agree you can choose a CSC to suit your network .
CPW CSC covers all UK networks .
XWJS8 v9.9.5 WIPE base rom
CPW csc
Hardcore's Kernel *RECOMMENDED* kernel
JPX modem
Apps choose what you want .
Themes and boot animation choose what you want .

thamks guys, i have used odin to flash the new jvk firmware, (there is an app on market for my apn settings (im on giffgaff))
i have used criskelo's rom in the develeopment forum with his theme.
it really does amaze me when only 2 weeks ago i didnht know anything about odin or flashing and now i can downgrade/upgrade my firmware using odin, root it. and its all thanks to this wonderful website!
i even know how to install different themes etc and now i just installed a battery im just astounded.
there are a few other questions:
1) if i want to change my theme, can i just install it over the old one using cwm?
2) is there a thread/website etc where i can download certain mods? (ie i see a few of the themes have the market in different colours, different lock-screens, i just wondered if there was another place where i can get these from to install)
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934729&highlight=theme+creator i have found this but there doesnt seem to be a guide or anything, i cant get it to download the framework from my phone? i have tried in usb mode (kies and mass storage) download mode and mounting usb storage from the cwm. what i havent ried is with debugging mode on.

hi gazza1988, good to know u were able to debrand and flash the firmware through ODIN.
I also got my SGS through 3 UK. Its unlocked now.
But i am not am not able to install any apps and market is also not working. I also want to remove the branding.
My current config is :
PDA : I9000NEJP5
PHONE : I9000NEJP2
CSC : I9000HCGJP5
I want to flash to a stable stock firmware. Some people on forums suggested to flash JS8.
I downloaded I9000XWJS8 from samfirmwares.com but it has only one file - NEE.tar (which i guess is PDA file).
Will my current modem and CSC be compatible with I9000XWJS8 ?? Do i need to include .PIT file and select repartition ??
hi, if you want to debrand you will need new complete (ie 3 firmwares csc pda phone etc)
i assume you have odin already
if you want to debrand then download the jpu firmware (has all 3 files) here http://hotfile.com/dl/99955459/dea6962/I9000XXJPU.rar.html password for archive is samfirmware.com
once you have flashed that one go back into download mode and flash the NEE.tar as PDA to update to JS8.

Thanks for the quick reply man !!!
Do i also need to select PIT file and select re-partition ??
Also samfirmware has listed I9000XXJPU firmware download as 1 file only. Link
Like this :
I9000XXJPU ## | 512.PIT | Version 2.2.1 | 2010 December | DOWNLOAD | 1 file select NO .PIT
I've have started the download anyway, so lets see.
As i'm using my SGS in India, is it better to flash an Asian firmware with CSC which has info about indian networks ?? Can u tell me which Asian firmware on this page has all 3 files ?
possibly would be better to flash asian but what the effects of changing from one region to another are im not 100% may be worth startin a new topic in this forum as people are less inclined to look in here as they think my issue is being seen to by someone else.
the asian firmware for india is DD (ie I9000DDxxx so i would guess that the I9000DDJF2 would contain all 3 files to flash then you would have to flash I9000DDJP6 to get indian stock froyo firmware. but i would ask a more experienced person about moving regions i was a noob at this 2 weeks ago.
i am 90% certain that flashing indian firmware would debrand and enable the market, it may be worth adding a post to this thread detailing what you have now and what you would like (ie branded uk firmware to stock indian firmware - it may also be worth asking if you can use european firmware with a indian csc as i have read the indian froyo is not very good)
the reason you cant download apps from the market would be your location (ie the phone's firmware is 3 UK and you are in india so it get "confused". do you have 3g connectivity.
i have researched some of this and the CSC (country specific code) is what holds the apn settings etc so you would need an indian csc
gazza1988 said:
... do you have 3g connectivity ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, i have 3g, but not able to sign in to google account even with 3g. And the strange part is that i can't even directly install most of the apk files. Adobe flash player apk didn't install. Even asphalt 5 didn't install. I was able to install Winamp for android. I downloaded many apks for the internet (some of them specifically packed for SGS) but 99% of them don't install on my SGS.
I have started this thread, so lets see.
Is I9000XXJPU a Unbranded firmware ?? I think we can safely assume that if I9000XXJPU firmware is designed for factory unlocked phones sold by samsung in Europe when i could solve the market issues. And i can manually enter the APN settings of my network. The issue currently i think is the 3 UK crap.

i think its better that you first go to stock rom xwjs3 with the boot loaders.
you can download them from sam firmware,
and then check in kies the csc must be normal again, if so you can flash the rom you want..
i had the same problem and i think it is because with xxjvk you get the new boot loaders, and you must go back to the old one for you're rom

A flash wont fix a cracked camera lens .
Kies cannot deal with a rom that does not match the correct product codes and hardware ID of the original device network data .
If you require Singtel firmware you need to source it from somebody that backed it up as you i take it did not back up your firmware .
Alternative is to try the Kies registry spoofing methods posted on xda or the app from the market .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
jje
If any of the firmwares overwrote your product code (not the salescode in the CSC!) then the only solution I know about is to put a factory firmware which has lower version than the latest available through kies (that to make sure kies can be connected and the fw updated) and as a second step you have to manually edit the nv_data.bin file in the efs folder(make a backup before you do this!) with a HEX editor. Find the wrong product code the jist replace the letters, write it back to the efs folder and reboot. You should be fine.
And don't forget to flash a carrier specific CSC via Odin!

Sunday i send my phone to causeway point to repair my camera lens and button.. today they send my phone to my house Thumb up... i notice they change all the button, lens and the whole back case and i notice my firmware is i9000DXJPB is it the latest firmware?
hi every one
i just downloaded il orange rom 2.3.3 from sammobile i tried million times to flash it with odin , odin every time says pass but the i9000 just still booting .
i tried to remove the battery , to use pit file with the rom , to flash with defferent odin versions but it still the same , odin says pass but the phone booting all the time .
the rom is a tar file .
( every else rom "not tar file" working fine , but i need to flash the original rom )
any body can help me please ?
Download this guide. It is a direct link from the sammobile site.
How long are you waiting for the phone to start up. If you aren't waiting up to 30mins it is not long enough.
You should receive all the files required within the .zip file you downloaded from sammobile.com. If it was a single .tar file put it in PDA, if it is .pit file as well use that as well.
Does that help?
thank you , but i waited more than 30 min until the phone had become very hot then i feared to broke it .
it's a single tar file , should i use pit file with it ?
( in the guide samsung explains how to flash with non single file rom )
If the pit file came with the package then yes use it!
Can you give me a link to the rom you downloaded, and a link to the page you saw the list of firmwares for you.
What rom were you using before?
Also copy and paste what is says when you finish flashing, a screenshot would probably be better.
And lastly have you tried another computer?

Make sure re-partition was ticked when you use the pit file.
Is there any reason you need a stock rom??
Ok it could be a bug with that FW somehow, try the links here
If the link is not there or after you try and flash the above rom and you still want to install the FW from sammobile then try after using the most similar firmwares above.
Finally if all that still doesn't work then download and install this.
Hopefully after installing that you can install the original. Or just stay with one of the other original roms above. I don't think having a carrier version of the rom is that important, but you know better than me because I assume it is important in your country.
If you do decide to stick with any of the firmware above then make sure you type in *#262*your imei# and select your correct csc code (3 letter code). Changing the selected code will reboot and factory reset your phone!

first of all thanks to you for helping me
second : i need afirmware with arabic , hebrew & english interface build in - only the il original one have this .
third : there is 3 providers in israel cellcom pelephone & orange , orange have a special band not like the others & this is the provider i use .
4. all the non original roms and ics's have too much problems , like radio dosn't work , low signal , market unfotunetly stoped , Restarts suddenly.
If you have a special band are you sure you have the i9000?? Is it another version of i9000 like i9000T or something. Check your box or the back of your phone after taking out the battery.
Again have you checked the firmware here it is the original firmware. It has JV9 firmware and therefore probably has your languages.. and once the correct csc is in and your APN is correct all should be fine.
This is all assuming that your phone is actually gt-i9000 not another variant.
Also the links i provide are generally quite stable and so have little or no bugs. For example this is known to be quite stable. However i am not sure about the languages..
Just found this link click by searching for the firmware name in google
And then if that doesn't work then you are not meant to have that update. Use the link for the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile, it is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and apn attach it to your computer with Kies and it will update to the latest.

Above link is a thread on xda, that has stock firmware... find one you want the same one if you can...
http://samsung-updates.com/gt-i9000-samsung-galaxy-s/
Is a link to list that has same firmware you are trying to use from sammobile.
The reason i am giving you these links is because the files that you downloaded from sammobile.com may be corrupted. These are alternative links of the SAME firmware but different files.
Finally if these do not work and you have the same outcome that the phone does not boot. Then download and install the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile.com. It is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and APN connect your phone to your PC. Use Samsung Kies to update your phone.

i thing you are not understanding me , the proccess of flashing the phone completes just fine and the phone start booting but it still booting ( the booting animation working fine ) it get not into the system .
i think the problem is the single tar file because all the roms with three files and icses working fine .
if there is a way to un.tar the file and made from it 3 md5 files to flash with odin maybe it will works.

hi, guys.
I'm having a mini2 with s5600 version. Am I ok to flash s5600D firmware to it?
Are the s5600 and S5600D the same?
and I managed to download the mini2 firmware from Samfirmware.
All I got it is one package S6500D firmware. 6500DLH1_S6500DCHNLH1_S6500DLH1_HOME.tar.md5
JENA_Secure_NonNFC_1109.pit and Odin3 v1.85
when I open Odin3, there is four files need to choose from. How am I supposed to use this one package?
and what's the difference between NFC and NonNFC with pit file?
Thank you for you all.

Please flash according to your model. If you have s6500 > flash s6500 firmware. same as s6500D
firmwares are flashed on the PDA tab.
the language I need is only with S5600D, that's why I decide to flash S5600D into my S5600 phone.
so as you said, one file package choose PDA tab, how about pit file? doesn't need it?
The .pit file is only needed for re-partitioning , which you don't need when flashing a firmware .
You only need the .tar.md5 , which you load as PDA .
BUT
You can't flash S6500D firmware on an S6500 (or vice-versa) . It will fail at the flashing process (it won't brick it , but it won't work anymore either until you flash a proper firmware on it) .
First of all : samsung galaxy mini 2 aka jena is s6500 !
I have one question : On samfirmware there is firmware for my country (Romania) but only for Vodafone and Cosmote (carriers) and i have Romania(Orange). If i flash the one from another carrier will my sim card work ? and if i flash one from Hungary for example (couse its the last version of firmware) will my sim card work and be able to make calls in my country ?
I love threads like this. Where's my popcorn?

RO Orange SGM2 Firmware (note that this is S6500D but I'm pretty sure you have the D one because that's what Orange is selling) - I'm on the same carrier as you and I used this without a problem many times .
And no , nothing bad will happen as long as the firmware has the same baseband . The only differences are the bloatware apps that the carriers add to the firmware .
And "Samsung Galaxy Mini 2" can reffer to S6500 / D / T / L . Each version is for a different region , as Samsung usually does with its devices .
Yes, mine is s6500D. Thank you very much for the firmware and i didn't mention that it can reffer to s6500 D/T/L because it was obvious...

I tried it. like you said, it fail. nothing changed.
My bad , flashing a S6500D firmware on a S6500 will result in a fail and the download will be discarted , and thus nothing will be actually flashed on the device . You're right .
The problem I was talking about appears when you repartition it . I switched them up xD
