HI - Just want to be on the safe side as i´m above to trade my Galaxy s for the new HTC incredible S , and want to know:
Right now my galaxy is rooted and running on Doc´s cooked rom and kernel
if i do a factory reset , will it still be on Doc´s rom and rooted with same kernel?
Just want to do that for clearing all my accounts before i trade it in....
Thks
Yes it will just clear some data .
But be aware you are selling a phone with invalid warranty .That may lead to the buyer/trade in refusing the phone .

He is aware of the rooting...

Hi everybody,
yesterday I flashed my phone with the original rom it was shipped and now the sim card does not work. The phone was network locked and I'm afraid that now it does not recognize any rom because of this.
I tried to do the procedure of simlock by rooting the phone but no codes appear after I launch sgux in the file.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

it could well be that your sim is dead if you left it in the phone while flashing. happened to me and it was quite weird, i could make and receive calls and messages, but 3g was dead. the guys at the 3 shop were quite amused as they have not seen anything like it before. anyway, try the sim in another phone, see if that works. ultimately flash to an unbranded rom and try a different sim on your phone.

please argor, if you found how to solve this, contact me...
You say you have the original shipped rom .
If thats the case just flash that back if it truly is the original shipped rom .

Darky rom problems as usual ask the chief suspect .Its probable you did not flash correct CSC file for your network .

hi, thanks for the reply.
no, i just wanted to explain what model and things had my phone before i flashed it...
i didnt have any original rom, and, i just tried put in sim from other provider and does not recognise either... i am so afraid that it could be a hardware problem...
Hi ,
My girlfriend has had her galaxy s for about 4 months i recently flashed darkys rom onto it, with no problems (excellent rom btw), but now the phone has started doing menu and back on its own randomly making it impossible to do anything on it for longer than a few minutes , its like the soft keys are being pressed (but they arent of course).
I've had a google and came to the conclusion its a hardware fault and not software (ive tried factory reset / re-flashing roms/ kernels) but now i have the problem i cant send the phone back to tmobile with a custom firmware so is there anywhere i can download tmobile firmware and stock kernel to make it like when she got it ?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
In the General chat, there is a link to all the stock roms. Select the one you want and install that one. I am on t mobile in the uk and my code is TMU so that will most likely be fine for you.
By the way - Its exactly what I did last month and they fixed it fine for me with no questions...

hi thanks for the quick response , ive already installed a stock firmware but when the phone boots up it doesnt do the tmobile logo now, plus the firmware i have installed, i'm not sure if thats ever been available on tmobile , which firmware did you send your phone back to them with if you dont mind me asking ?
Hi,
I used the JP1 stock rom here. I remember now that once I installed the stock one I used the Kies registry hack to put the latest t-mobile firmware on there. Then it was branded T-Mobile again. The only problem is that now kies has been updated the Registry hack may not work.
If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help?
CtC
I would blame the rom before the hardware and want a wipe to a very clean phone and install a stock rom .
You cannot download TMobile firmware you need somebody to give it to you unless you backed up your original firmware .
The only way to get TMobiles firmware would be to downgrade your phone to stock Eclair then use Kies to update as normal to Froyo branded TMobile or if that failed use the registry patch .
Fix on a non stock rom is going to depend on the guy that picks the phone up and the problem .

"If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help? "
It would be brilliant if you could do that, how can you send it though ?
@ jjegan i have completely wiped the phone, changed the firmware to 2.1update1 same problem still exists with the soft keys randomly pressing themselves thanks anyway .
can any one give me some advice about making this phone look as stock uk tmobile as possible before i send it back ?
Hi All
Long time xda member here but new to samsung.... Been a long time HTC fan so not quite used to old samsungs ways....
K
Heres the story...
Got the phone... Love it... plugged it into kies said it had an update, cool, i updated.... Tried rooting, success... tried custom rom and stock roms, changed kernel etc alls good but now when i plug into kies it says 'your device does not support upgrading via kies' So now i want to wash my hands of everything.. bring the phone back to what it was, i know how to un root i know how to get original stock firmware and roms but i dont know what my original firmware was? i got it from mobiles.co.uk which is a sister company of CPW the csc says xeu which is european which sounds right but im not sure...
If only i could remember what version the phone came with i could easily install that 1...
Anyone have any thoughts?

Exactly Same thing happen to my device while Flashing Stock ROM. i just restarted in Recovery mode then did a Wipe / Factory reset. and wipe cache. then restarted . everything went fine.
Hi all. Please excuse me if this has been asked before, this forum is daunting for me and it's hard to find the required info I need. Basically, my brother forwarded me to a thread which explains the process of rooting my phone and installing a custom rom. That thread still exists and that's fine so I know where to look on how to root and install a rom.
My question though is about the installation of a Samsung factory rom. I bought my phone through a network provider, O2 Ireland, and as such, it comes preinstalled with some O2 apps that I don't use or need as well as a O2 boot screen. I would like to setup my phone to work as if it came out of the Samsung factory without any network provider rom so can I install a Samsung factory rom over my O2-based rom or will it brick my phone? Also, I know that the place to go to get roms is samfirmware.com but the roms I found there have a carrier associated with them. The roms I found were either for Ireland, eMobile or Meteor and for UK, Orange. I want a stock Samsung rom so anyone know where I can get this?
Thank you for your time and I apologise again if this has been asked before.

I think it's de official rom without carrier's modification, so yes you can flash it via Odin but first of all are you device unlocked? and Have you got the S5830 model? It's very important!

Thanks . I was planning on installing the stock rom through CWM Recovery after rooting my phone first ofcourse so is this ok or is it a must that I do it through Odin? Yes, I unlocked my phone so it works with any network now. Yep, I have the S5830 model.
