Bought a Galaxy S of ebay and its Vodafone branded and I am on another network and its very heavily branded. I just want the standard 2.2 but am having trouble finding any info I have I9000GVODJM3 at the min, can I just change this using the Kies registry patcher to another UK code?
you could try samfirmware.com and get the fimware you want... this way it will be just samsungs own firmware and not modified by the nasty network operator people.
or you could get root explorer (if your rooted) and manually remove them.

Thanks, and can I just pick any Europe firmware in there?
if thats where your from yeah you can..
Or choose a UK network phone brand and spoof Kies to that .
Method would be downgrade via Odin to Eclair .
Use Kies Registry Patcher to spoof an O2 product and upgrade Froyo to that .
O2 adds on wallpaper and bookmarks for a few O2 sites is all .
If useing Kies reg patcher you can back up the downloaded firmware .
O2 spoof product details .

Ok, My brain is fried, I've been at this all afternoon and got no where, Help, I am a total newbie to galaxy S, never had such a headache with my desire.
What I have tried is, downloaed Kies 2.0 and registry hack, it doesn't work with 2.0, so back to kies 1.5, I enter registry hack and detected etc etc XEU code and it says no update is available for this product. Grrr. I know there is an update available.
As for Odin that looks like a headache, I am running 2.1 atm
Flashing with Odin is actually very straightforward and generally much easier than faffing around with Kies. I've attached the Odin 1.7 files to this post for you, you'll find detailed instructions on how to use it in other posts but basically you launch Odin and select the ROM you want to flash (I recommend the one in this link, it's the latest v2.2.1 and is good for the UK, I'm running it on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10892253&postcount=305) Select this ROM as PDA, and do not select a PIT file or check re-partition. Put the phone in download mode (power off and then hold the volume down, home and power button), when you seen the 'Android at work' screen, connect the phone to your PC. You should see that Odin recognises the phone and providing it does you can start the flash. Don't disconnect your phone until the flash finnishes fully! Good luck!

Pleased to hear it mate, welcome to the wonderful world of ROM flashing!!
Still on Eclair here and am considering flashing to this ROM. I too have a Vodafone UK Galaxy S (16Gb) version. However, still not sure whether to proceed as I use a number of bluetooth devices, including SE mw600, QED Audio receiver, and an external GPS mouse. I have no problems with bluetooth but I have read alot of issues with bluetooth driver in JPY. Also happy with OCLF and built in task killer keeps my phone free from lag.
Didn't someone get JME Rom working on CDMA Sprint Tabs? By changing the build name around?
I cant find the post, but who ever it is, please give us more details. How'd you do it? Do you recommend it? How is it holding up? Does it brick anything (GPS, MODEM?)
Thank you!
I did it to my Sprint Galaxy Tab, original post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929898)
I had to remove movinand.mst and it flashed fine using Odin, I just followed the directions there.
HOWEVER, the way I did it will make the Tab WIFI Only with no known way to get back until someone can figure out how to dump the sprint stock modem.bin.
That is fine with me as I did not want the 3G, but did want the Bluetooth HID. (now my Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard work)
You might be able to pull the modem.bin file out as well as movinand.mst but I have no idea what that would do, sounds very risky.
M.
did that brick your GPS though?
I use it as WIFI Only as well.
How does the JME run on the tab?
Can you upload the exact JME rom you updated for us CDMA users who are kind of new at this? That is if you still have the version you edited for the Sprint?
If there's one thing I learned with flashing ****.... as long as you don't **** with the radio you can't really mess it up. With that said, don't flash a new modem (radio)
exactly then, cant we just have all these ROMs take out the Modem.bin, wouldn't it be flashable to CDMA then? or no
Yes it borked the GPS as I flashed with the modem file to get rid of sprint, works fine so far and I can use my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard now, had to reinstall all apps though.
I just Flashed Roto's JMG last night, will see how that goes.
I used the ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763 and took out movinand with 7zip.
I assume you could take out the modem file as well or try the update version.
I would put in a request to Rotohammer to make one for the CDMA tabs without modem and movinand to be safe.
No idea if flashing without the modem file will fry the CDMA modem as I cant test this do to no one being able to get the stock Sprint modem dumped yet.
M.
I have no experience in doing this so I was curious on just how someone would go about dumping the stock Sprint Modem? also would we be able to use the epic 4G's modem since it's similar? or would that not work due to the epic having 4G and being a different device? If I knew what direction to go I'd certainly be interested in getting in to this more.
Now if someone can just confirm how to flash without killing the modem, we'll be cooking with gas!

I know that file name is floating around as a flashable "almost stock" ROM that has the Epic 4G modem inserted, so you can recover your sprint tab but lose gps. I would get someone who has already borked their gps by flashing to test it and see if it fixes it before everyone goes flashing this ROM.
If I was doing a restore using the files posted I would not flash the modem.bin. That's what breaks the Tab, not the software.
Need help I bricked my Galaxy Tab by Sprint trying to flash Overcome. Now I am stuck at the Galaxy/Samsung screen of death. Computer recognizes sometimes and others not. Is there a way to get it into download mode again or a I screwed.

Keep trying to get it into download mode, down volume and power depressed together.
Im sorry if this is covered somewhere else.
I have a Telstra NEXT G (Australian) version of Galaxy s GT-i9000
I did something stupid ........mainly because Im too much of a noob to be messing with things.
I upgraded to Darky V9.5 (after previous successful downloads of earlier versions) however I THEN messed around with an app I had downloaded from the market earlier of which I forget the name, I think it was something like ODIN or OLA or similar. Its some kind of lagfix and it changes file system or boot structure of something I have no idea about and should not have used. I selected the option for install Tools V1 and following that I have been unable to boot the phone. It is stuck on the Galaxy S Splash screen and I have no way of entering recovery mode.
I managed to get to a screen with a big yellow triangle and the Android robot working on construction - I then held the power button for a few seconds hoping for a proper reboot, but it simply returned to the Splash screen mentioned above.
I have never used programs lile ODIN - can someone talk me through steps tp fix this.
Many thanks !!!
I'm pretty sure you've messed up your filesystem in an attempt to convert it to ext4.
The correct way to apply a lagfix is usually through recovery mode (vol up+home+power while turning on) unless the kernel has a specific app for it.
If you can get into download mode then you can reflash through Odin, though you'll have to find a modem that supports Telstra's 850mhz Next-G network.
I've always disabled ext4 before flashing in Odin, so I'm not really sure how to proceed here. I'm pretty certain you'll need to flash a PDA,PHONE and CSC with a pit and repartition turned on.. but I would check with a more knowledgeable member.
theres a lot of info on this site.....

i have a working version of 2.2.1 working.
its a modifed version of 2.2.1 to look and feel like the nexus s' 2.3 or gingerbread.
its called darky's rom. its up to version 7.0 now and its working very well with telstra's next G. its the cleanest, fastest version i've used.
you can flash this on from any version of firmware I Believe.
i went straight from telstras stock firmware.
you can restore to the original version of telstras bloated 2.1 by using ODIN and the firmware from this download link:
Telstra: DVJH3 – http://rapidshare.com/files/421127995/dvjh3.rar
PW: asgardxda
heres the link to the guide. make sure you read it all before attempting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
IF you are on telstra AND you ARE NOT getting 3G or H then you can select the 850 band assuming you have the T model of the SGS.
also there is a code to get to the debug console and change the bands:
1. on the key pad, type *#*#197328640#*#*
2. Select [1] Debug Screen
3. Select [8] Phone control
4. Select [7] Network control
5. Select [2] and selection
telstra uses the wcdma band 850 (next G) and 2100 (3Telstra)
it also uses the gsm band 850 and 2100
please correct me if wrong.
NO MORE BLOATWARE! just pure android the way it was intended.
any corrections welcome. any questions please ask.

Well, msolus is quite right. You clearly made a mistake in converting the system to ext4. I suggest that you install a stock froyo firmware just in case you still want to stick with darky's rom which now currently has the v10RC6 running gingerbread which in my opinion is quite buggy.
So here it is my solution.
First, you enter download mode by using the three-button combo. Vol. down+home button+power.
Second, you need to get the files here :
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-rom-v3-0-full-installation-guide-w-video/
Then, in case you'll get confused by the instructions there, I suggest you continue reading this.
NOTE: Make sure you have the samsung usb drivers installed before you proceed It's in the link
Okay, so you're in download mode then open the EzOdin. you'll see the ADDED message somewhere there. then tick the repartition button ( MAKE SURE YOU CHECKED REPARTITION!! )
click PDA and search for the PDA file you downloaded. the same thing applies to the CSC and PHONE ( The files are already named so maybe you can figure that out already )
after those, press start.
wait for reboot and you're good to go you have just revived your phone. lol
I suggest you try using cm7 rom it's quite better than darky's in my opinion cheers!

The program was called OCLF for rayana or something short for (One click lag fix).
OCLF
stay away from OCLF now that you are using roms like darky... search and read about ext2 lagfixes(OCLF) and ext4 lagfixes.. just download your stock 2.2 rom from samfirmware.com and you tube some videos/search xda to help you flash.
basics are.. go into download mode, triangle with digging guy... open odin, plug phone in, select pit and pda file and flash... some particular phones based on region have modem requirements, do some searching and reading
cheers
never touch anything that you don't know and research the subject before you do anything will help you a lot.
For now, go into download mode and flash the original (or any custom rom) from ODIN.
So, I recently installed CM9 and on top of that SlimBean 2.6. Both worked otherwise perfectly, but I couldn't get my 3g connetion to work on either one, unless I turned "National Roaming" on. I checked the Acces Point Name settings, and they seem to be fine. I can't find my service provider on the Network operators list though. I read that a new modem migth do the trick, but I have no idea if that will help or which modem to choose.
I had a similar problem after going to CM9. I even had my APN (access point names) settings disappear randomly also.
Solution for me was to turn 'airplane mode' on....wait 30 seconds then turn off.
Strange as it sounds but it actually worked for me. But in the end, (after 1 day) I changed to samsungized 12.1 JB rom because I found that I had to use that airplane mode on/off alot and was too much of a pain.
Hope this helps.
If not, I'd revert back to a stock rom then upgrade to a stable JB rom
Tried just that, but no luck so far. Any other suggestions?

Id recommend trying a good stable stock rom with a 512_pit repartition via Odin, just to see it it improves the modem or not.
The rom im going to suggest has a replacement Modem file within.
Might sort the problem.
Ive used this stock rom to fix my many problems ive had after custom roms.( Mainly format errors i had )
Its from 'HotFile' site and took me around 20 mins to download it.
But it might be worth the wait in your case.
Rom File:

Here Is the Pit File and Odin version I used. ( 3rd box down the page )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
And heres the Root file. Get " CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS " :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15188469
s1_odin_20100512.pit Goes in PIT ( repartition checked )
CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 Goes in PDA
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5 Goes in CSC
MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5 Goes in phone
Sorry if im telling you what you already know with how to use Odin, just making sure.
After rom install pop this root on with Odin via download mode.
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS goes in PDA
I reckon its worth a shot.
Must make sure the 3 wipes are done before the rom install. I learned this the hard way and messed my
phone up for a while.
Problem solved! I did some googling around, and found a solution. Apparently my carrier, Saunalahti, is known for having problems with 3g on custom roms. I found out that a nexus s modem by the name of i9020AUCKF1 might work. And sure enough, it did the trick! No more roaming! Anyway, thanks for taking the time to help me!
I attempted to restore a backup via CWM and now I get the message E: unknown volume for path" in response to any options in CWM. If I try to reboot normally, I just get the SGS splash screen, which just stays there.
I can't get to the Download screen with the three keys, this just gets me back to CWM. So I feel pretty screwed now. I could order a jig but will it even work in these circumstances?
The sequence of events that led to this was that I followed the instructions here to install Jellybean 4.2. All went well, Jellybean was running very smoothly from this rom. The trouble was that I just couldn't get it to find any mobile networks at all, even when I manually entered the APN and VPN etc. My sim is a giffgaff one, which uses the O2 network, and you do have to add the APN to get the 3g to work - but the phone just wasn't seeing any networks at all. I presume this was because this version of the rom just doesn't recognise UK carriers.
So anyway, I then went into CWM to restore my last backup, which was from over a year ago. This all appeared to work but then it got as far as the SGS splash screen, as described above, and stayed there.
What else can I try?
Well, I did manage to get a Download screen in the end, although Odin running on my Win 8 desktop couldn't see the phone. However, I then put Odin on my netbook running Win XP and that can see it.
So I'm now ready to flash a stock rom to the phone. I've tried following PuggeredUK's guide to installing a stock rom, which I've used successfully in the past, but he does say you need a .pit file. I've tried loading a stock 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 value (which was the last stock firmware I had on the phone) roms from Sammobile but can't find any .pit files in any of the stock roms I've downloaded from there.
So are .pit files actually necessary? I tried sending one file to the phone and Odin said "Failed", so I thought I'd better check about the .pit files before further buggering up my phone.
I had this same problem too when I restored my backup. I got it fixed by just going back to the ROM what I had before I tried to restore. (which was CM10).
Do what I just told this guy in post #7

Edit: and you lost your network because you flashed from GB to JB, missing out ICS. Nothing to do with the rom and uk carriers. Next time install ICS first.
