[Q] Orange UK firmware - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
This might seem crazy (or at least contrary). I used the kies registry hack in november to upgrade my galaxy S to froyo from an orange branded 2.1 firmware.
I am looking to revert back to the orange 2.1 firmware, and I'm having no luck with a combination of registry hacking and odin flashing.
The long and the short of it is:
Does anyone have the Orange UK branded rom,
I think I am looking for something like PDA:I9000 BVJS4 PHONE: I9000 BVJP4 CSC: I9000 ORAJS4, or more specifically just the orajs4 csc so I can flash it.
I have found a similar one on samfirmware.com, but it is french and some apps are a little funny.
Can anyone help me?

carrier specific firmwares dont tend to exist unless they were copied from when the phoen was released, and are therefore hard to come by! Can I ask why you want to revert to 2.1?

I think the one you are searching for is:
I9000BVJP8/I9000ORAJP8/I9000BVJP3/I9000BVJP8
Using (unpatched/unspoofed KIES) this will offer:
PDA: JS4
PHONE: JP4
CSC: JS4

I hope this can help you. I'm not sure is it the right one or not since u have provided all information. I've just manipulated info to get the right order.

How does one do this?

Thanks, Yz_MCR
It's downloading now, just to be sure, once its downloaded I can just flash it using odin with the file downloaded as the PDA?
@joey2cool2007 I wanted to get the orange firmware as I was having some conectivity problems with the XEU I had.
[EDIT] PS I did it and it works fine (at the moment!) Thanks

SuperOneClick only works up to Froyo, and doesn't work on GB.
What you need is to root from this thread here.
Depending on which FW you have (Like many used JVQ or JVR for 2.3.4) is the file that you need to download. Once you download the correct file that matches your FW, then you flash that file once again in Odin, and you are rooted...
CF-Root is the easiest way to root your Phone.
Yep !!!
and for more info CF-Root indeed is the best tweak in kernel right now!!!
How do I determine which file to flash from that CF Root thread?
flash it with odin, just add the .tar file to PDA. then start

Chainfire said:
Help! I don't know which file to pick! The filenames confuse me!
First thing: don't panic! It's all rather easy, and you won't easily do something bad! I am personally attentive to use the exact same version as the ROM I am running, but it's not that important.
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Let me explain that. Samsung isn't always very precise in naming/marking their different (leaked) firmwares. CF-Root's are modified kernels, the filenames explain in more detail which exact firmware ROM the base kernel was taken from, for those experts who understand.
If you are not one of those people, go back to the JPy thing. The "y" in JPy is 0-9, A-Z. If they run out of numbers, they use letters. So A would be 10 (9 + 1), while Z would be 35 (9 + 26). Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.
The truth is, these kernels, they don't differ all that much. It's quite likely that the very latest version (at time of writing: JPY) will work perfectly fine on your ROM. There are some small differences, but using a different version is unlikely to cause serious issues. The closer the versions are, the less likely there are to be issues, BUT it is still quite possible that the latest version will work better for you than the matching version (or not!).
If you are just installing CF-Root to flash a custom ROM like Darky, make sure you have ROM Manager already installed, ClockworkMod flashed, then simply install the latest CF-Root, reboot once normally, then reboot in recovery and run the Darky update.zip. In this case it does NOT need to be a near match at all!

Sooo based on this i think he cannot use CF-Root, as for some reason he is not running a JPX version. Could be because he is on the Korean SGS
Not sure if you have posted here, but its best to search this thread and if it cant be found, post, but remember to read the specifics you need to procide in the first thread for if/when you post

It looks that you're right, and based on the values: SHW-M110S and GINGERBREAD.VF24 and using the wonderful properties of uncle Google, only one what could be found (at least for me, and I wans't digging too deeply) was:

[Q] Can't find CSC

Hello
I'm a noob in Android world, and I'm learning to make flashes etc. on my phone. So...I'm using SGS I9000, my stock rom is: PDA: I9000BOJV9, PHONE:I9000XXJVO and problematic CSC:I9000GCROJV7. I can't find that particular CSC to download anywhere ( I'm from Croatia and phone was bought in T-Mobile store). I would like to flash my phone to something better and not void my warranty, i've found stock PDA and PHONE files but CSC is unavailable, at least I can't find it out. So what should I do then? Please help me and forgive me for being a NOOB!

OMG you're still on froyo... we won't help you putting your S1 into the garbage .
Try this Official Firmware Downloader for your exact phone model and regional config, then flash via Heimdall (or Odin). Works for me

[Q] ROOT, UNROOT and CSC advice please!!!

Hi,
First post here. I'm still confused although I read a lot, here, on this forum...
Recently I bought Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190N phone from a friend of mine, but IMEI factory locked to Orange Romania. First of all I deblocked IMEI. Then flashed with the official firmware I8190NXXAMG6_I8190NVFGAMF3_ATL - Vodafone Spain (because my SIM card is from Vodafone Romania, where I live).
1) How can I unlock CSC or change it from Orange (ORO) to Vodafone (VOD or CNX) in order to make possible Kies updates? Actual CSC is MF3 (ORO) - mean Orange - although I flashed my phone with the most recently Vodafone carrier official firmware.
About rooting I read HERE - in case I'm think to flash my phone with Maclaw's CyanogenMod 10.1 20130919. So, the second question is:
2) It's possible to unroot the phone to the official firmware, in case I want to revert to it's original state? And if it's possible then how?
I would be very thankful if you can describe me, step by step, these two problems!
Nobody has any opinion?

Be aware of that changing csc also makes a factory reset. BACKUP your apps and data!

csc changer app will work if you are rooted.
sometimes a hard reset after flashing stock will change to the new product code if it is not changed.
regarding the unrooting guide, the flashing procedure is the same for all variants but sure you have to download the right stock firmware for your N variant from sammobile or what else...

First of all I wish to thank you for your reply.
I already tried with hard reset soon after I flashed the phone with official firmware of spanish carrier. But nothing.
Therefore, I supposed to root the phone with ClockworkMod, run CSC selector to change my CSC, unroot back with the same ClockworkMod, after that I reflash (once again) with the same firmware? I understand correctly?

Is your opinion and I'll respect that.
But why should I experience? Just because many others do so then and I must risk to brick the phone just because others do the same?! And yes, I do not want to risk (or if I do so at least I want to minimize all the risks). I'm a newbie in this kind of problems and I want to know, to understand and to put in balance as much as possible.
What is the purpose of the forum discussions if not to provide guidance and advice for others in order that they do not make same mistakes, that for example, I did?!
... that's why I put some questions.
