Hello!
Just bought second hand tab that has warranty.
Sorry if repeating but was searching for answer and could not find short and clear answer because my "noobnes".
So I bought the tab and it has broken SIM slot (one pin that connects to sim is broken. do not know how the guy did that!?).
I am going to take it to the store. Because it has warranty I need to restock it.
When bought it was on Overcome v1.6.3 Kernel version 2.6.32.9 #190. It is rooted Euro GSM non branded.
Could someone please tell me clean and easy way to restock it to 2.2. (have been learning about flashing and custom roms)
As far as I can see, You guys here are very understanding and helpful.
Thank You very much in advance.
in the same way you would flash "up"... only, flash "down" to 2.2; just carefully look for the proper firmware.
Could You point me in the right direction? Samfirmware or?
My baseband version is P1000XXJMF
What you can additionally go through since your tab is rooted. use root explorer to browse efs folder you should see a nv_data.bk look at the date. like if it is in january you can look for the proper firmware from samfirmware for your region with close as possible but not later than that date.....
So much to learn and so little time til warranty expires! Ok I have read Overcome installation guide and downloaded JMK_stock_safe.tar. Can I flash that?
I would really appreciate some guidance with this first flashing especially I do not have time to study it by myself. Thanks
This is getting even more complicated. Went to samfirmware, checked with SamFITtool and got this:
Model: P1000
Region: Taiwan, (Branded: no)
Available languages: en, zh,
March 2011 Revision: 1
My tab is bought in T-mobile Croatia/Europe. But does this Region-Taiwan mean I have to flash Asian firmware? Baseband is P1000XXJMF.
Can someone clear this up? Uf...
@bongski55 I can not find efs folder. Could You give me whole location? is it in /Root
@Bozon1, I am newbie also
try to get and use root explorer.apk to find your efs file or use adb
try adb shell, su, busybox df -h and you can see your file system structure, and i think efs is in system folder
hope it will help
p.s. if you cannot get root explorer on market maybe not free try to use 4shared.apk and use it to search root explorer.apk and download to your tab
Success!
Just followed Overcome guide for restocking. Flashed JMK_stock_safe and all went fine. Now I am back to stock 2.2. Either way, I heard if it is a mechanical damage they want even check which firmware it is (here in Croatia). Probably do not care if damage is not software based.
Tomorrow heading to store so they can fix it.
After that considering flashing new Overcome gold. Waiting for brilliant Spacemoose to make HC with phone call option.
Thank You for Your help

Dear all
Please bear over with this newbie question, but now I've spend around 10 hours searching/reading in this forum and on the internet so now I feel I've made a decent effort of trying to find the answer I'm looking for, before asking stupid questions.
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone, in order to (primary reason) modify the hosts-file and avoid ads! The phone is 1 week old. I'm concerned about guarantee, but people has written that I should not be concerned because I can always revert back. I've used appbrain to export a list of applications and I'll unmount the SD-drive before attempting. I've found out that I'm running (typing *#1234#):
PDA: I9000XXJPY (= "baseband version" under settings)
PHONE: I9000XXJPY
CSC: I9000OXAJPY
Build Info: 2010.12
And from settings I know my:
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 (it also says: "[email protected] #1")
Build number: FROYO.XXJPY
MY IDEA:
------------
To begin installing Android SDK (on either windows or linux) + Odin3 (think version 1.7 is latest, it's only on windows, right?). Then I think I should install Clockwork Mod Recovery (CWM) + nandroid...
====> Question 1:
I think first step is Odin3 which will root the SGS I9000 phone... Correct? I guess it's as easy as here:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-root-xwjvb-and-install-clockwork-mod-cwm-recovery/
Correct ?
====> Question 2:
Should I use z4root or superOneClick from http://shortfuse.org/ ? I think I've read that z4root is the best, however abedi here has the exact same software as me and he says/writes it hangs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13025681&postcount=2878
??? Which to use?
====> Question 3:
I read this:
6.I want to install new firmware but I want to have a backup of my original firmware to go back to in case I need to go back for warranty reasons. Can I backup my original firmware somehow?
As of now, there is no way of backing up firmware entirely. However, there are firmwares out for every region and virtually all regions have received a 2.2 or 2.2.1 upgrade which can be applied through Kies or Odin.

(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596 )
So how do I restore everything if I need my warranty and if I need to return the phone?
====> Question 4:
If I have to root the phone before backup up, then how can I restore everything back to the state before I rooted it? I don't understand that. And is it nandroid or CWM I should use?
I still don't get it... In my opinion, making a complete backup of everything should be done before rooting - however it's a contradiction I think that you need to be root, in order to backup because then it's a rooted backup and not an unrooted backup???
====> Question 5:
When I've done the above, is it then a good idea to try this?
http://romkitchen.org/sgs/?s=generator
I've also read that this "Darky's ROM" should be good... I found something here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
Is it correct, that this is good (the best that is currently available?)?
Finally: Thanks for your time - I appreciate your answers and any hints/suggestions. I've taken myself time to read a lot, however there's too much information out there and I need to clarify the above before taking the next step. Another problem is that google and the forum probably have some outdated information here or there and that discourages me a bit. Please help/advice!
Thanks in advance!

Ok, thanks a lot for your advice/comments.
I've already looked a bit into some of the links. And as I see it, there are still some questions that remains unanswered, but there are also some very good answers (and thanks for that, i.e. use ODIN for updating the rom).
An example where I'm still confused (hope I've not overseen something):
====> Question 2:
Should I use z4root or superOneClick from http://shortfuse.org/ ? I think I've read that z4root is the best, however abedi here has the exact same software as me and he says/writes it hangs:

??? Which to use?
And my question 3 is directly related to one of the links you posted and I'm asking for an explanation of the contradiction in the fact that some people say I can make a 100% backup/restore and the link below says it's impossible:
====> Question 3:
I read this:

(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596 )
So how do I restore everything if I need my warranty and if I need to return the phone?
In Q4 I ask whether to use nandroid or CWM (not quite sure about both):

bit difficult for me to answer as i have just double bricked my phone .
Double brick = even Odin dont want to recover the phone .

Ok, thanks jje.
I still hope somebody can/will answer Q2+Q3+Q4 in their own words, before proceeding (maybe with something stupid that'll void warranty and maybe something worser)...
As for rooting, I have never had a problem with Super One Click...I used it on both my phone and a coworkers.
Just remember if it hangs, change your USB debugging setting (either turn it on or off, depending).

You can't really do a full backup until you root. That first step just has to be a leap of fate. Once you are rooted, use the instructions for hardcore's speedmod kernel to flash a cwm enabled kernel via odin. Then, go into recovery mode and use the clockwork settings to make a nandroid backup.
As for the contradiction, some things will not change when you flash a nandroid backup, such as file system settings and modem. Therefore to return the phone to a warrenty state you need to download the original firmware and flash it via odin. However, for normal use, nandroid backups do just fine.

rschenck thanks for both replies! My final question/comments comes here!
1) Super One Click didn't hang at all. Installed perfectly without problems (usb enabling was on the whole time). To answer my own question 2: I decided not to try z4root because I read that it is not maintained anymore - just for the record. Maybe some other newbie can use this info.
2) This is a perfect answer to the other things I was wondering about. However, please clarify if you by this "…use the instructions for hardcore's speedmod kernel to flash a cwm enabled kernel via odin…" mean that I should look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 ???
THANKS!!! This wasn't that hard after all... Hopefully nothing will ever break and hopefully I'll never need/get warranty issues...
Firstly gaining root access to access the hosts file is SIMPLE
Superoneclick v1.6.5 roots every sgs I have ever come across (personally I have rooted 4 different ones now) and I have used it to root a xperia x8 as well
I would then recommend downloading the busybox installer from the market and letting that install the latest stable busybox.
then ADFREE also from the market will modify the hosts file and automate the process of keeping that up to date.
on the choice of z4 my only experience was of that not working at all for me so that's all I can add to that.
personally beyond that I use odin to flash the voodoo lagfix and sound mod kernel with CWM and I love that. It's brilliant but I recently did someone elses SGS and it didnt want to play so I used the speedmod kernel with CWM instead. The quadrant scores aren't as high but it seems stable enough and quadrant isnt everything.
CWM will effectively let you back up the whole rom but in order to make effective backup's a simple rooted phone is enough CWM is not a requirement. With something like titanium back up from the market you can make all the back ups you want on a stock phone as long as it is rooted. Personally I do a CWM backup every couple or three weeks, but I do 2 different nightly backups with a weekly full backup scheduled on titanium and I use the titanium media sync to push the backups to my dropbox. This way I always have "belt and braces".
Might seem like overkill but I have around 350-400 apps installed at any given point. 5 lots of push e-mail etc etc etc.
(that should cover question 2&3 I think)
question4
Superoneclick will allow you to remove the the hack and the superuser and busybox programs.
you seem a little confused, there is a difference between hacking the phone for superuser (root) access (which is all you really need and can be done above with one click and no odin etc) and hacking the phone to modify the boot loader which is what clockworkmod is. This changes the recovery area of the phone.
typically when you do this you use odin to flash a new kernel which will include the clockworkrom recovery bootloader.
this is more risky (but still almost always recoverable from in my experience) typically the new kernels include a root solution so flashing a kernel does not require the phone to be rooted already. Usually flashing a new kernel will add extra benefits or features such as the option to change the filesystem that the phone uses to a faster one than the default used by android (this is usually called lagfixing).
technically I would guess that any of these things COULD invalidate warranty but in reality I doubt they would and you should be able to reverse almost any of them prior to returning a device under warranty. personally so far I have screwed up my phone and others a number of times and I haven't once found something that darkyy's ressurection rom hasnt been able to rescue me from. Worst case I flash that then reflash with a stock rom. (I've been able to do this when I have forgotten to unlagfix a phone when I have checked efs or repartition by mistake all sorts, I have had phones in the condition where the wouldnt accept any sim card and darky's has got me out of all these states simply repartition with the resurrection rom and bob's yer uncle)
Hope that answers your questions and helps you understand the differences.
can someone please point me to a guide on how to flash the galaxy tab from bell back to stock firmware (for warranty reasons) and where i can get the bell firmware from, my build number is FROYO.UGJJ7 BASE BAND VERSION IS P1000MUGJJ7.

Bell Stock FW
I've made a copy of my Bell Galaxy Tab FW using the Roto Backup technique which you're welcome to try. I haven't try restoring it to my device yet as I *just* got it and am still a little hesitant - so use at your own risk - I will assume no liability for what it does to your device. The image is version JJ7, rooted using z4root (you should just be able to use the same to unroot it), and unlocked using the hex edit technique (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323 - or specifically, I changed byte 0x181469 from 01 to 00 using a hex editor - so you can just reverse this to lock it again)
I would also consider the alternative of restoring to the JJ3 "Provider Samsung P1000 Firmwares" available on samfirmware.com. After that, upgrade to the most current via Kies. I have not tried this and assume no liability for what this does to your device either.
Let me know if you'd like my Bell image and I'll send you a link to it.
Hi smd2008,
Would you please provide a download link for the 'Bell stock rom'? I need to revert back to stock. Much appreciated!
Hi do you mind if you please send me that bell firmware please thanks
Hi, I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the Bell stock firmware...

Roto Backup of Bell Stock ROM
Hi smd2008 or any one,
Could you share your experience with the Roto backup of your Bell stock Rom. I have just tried to do a Roto backup for my Bell SGT ( UGJJ7 ) . When it came to adb pull commands, system returned an error saying the file was not exist.
I have tried both Z4Root and SuperOneClick 1.9.5 to root but both cases showing the same error. I had set the SGT USB to Debugging mode and mounted as R/W with Root Explorer. I used the Command mode in PC then followed the Roto backup scripts. I used the ADB files attached with SuperOneClick download. Occasionally, the connection of the SGT to PC might lost when I entered the -dd command for dbdata.rfs. But I managed to completed all the -dd and tar commands after re-starting the PC. It looks like the files were created but just couldn't find them.
Could any one advise how to correct the problem? Thanks.
Found the cause of problem. It was due to SDcard not mounted.
Could someone please inform how to get the SDcard mounted when using the command mode in PC to do Roto backup.
bell stock firmware
hi
i was wondering if i could get a copy of the firmware as well, for warranty purposes i need to flash my tab back to stock.
thank you
Any hopes to get the stock rom for Bell Froyo?
Hi,
I have two issues - firstly, three button recovery didn't work on my phone from new. The latest Android upgrade(2.3.3) has enabled it on 3e, but I think that's due to an error in the firmware(Three branded) - it says "can't access to '/system/csc/H3G/system'.'
I'm not getting on at all with Gingerbread(battery sucks, ogg files not playing properly, browser doesn't scroll nicely), and would like to downgrade back to an unbranded 2.2.1. I've been looking around and have grabbed some ROMs, odin, the "Aries_P-SBL" file needed to enable 2e recovery - but I'm also seeing things about updated bootloaders after the Gingerbread update, and I'm not totally confident in what I'm doing.
I'd like to downgrade to "I9000XWJSD", 2.2.1 released May 2011. The handset is Three(UK) branded, but has been SIM-unlocked(using the code provided by Three, and an alternative SIM does work). *#1234# gives PDA as I9000NEJVD, PHONE as I9000NEJV5, and CSC as I9000H£GJV6, with a build date of May 4th 2011. "About phone" gives a Build number of GINGERBREAD.NEJVD, Baseband version I9000NEJV5.
Will I be okay to do the 2e recovery, then the downgrade to the stock Samsung 2.2.1 flash? I have made the USB 3-resistor jig, and that puts me into download mode without a problem.
Sorry it was long-winded! Thanks!
The first thing you have to do is installing a 2.2.1 stock rom with froyo bootloaders(search for it in the forum, you'll find a couple of threads about it.
Very easy very simpel. Hope this will help you out.
Thanks for the reply. So I just drop down to 2.2.1 before thinking about installing the 2e recovery thing? Most things I've read indicate I need to have 2e recovery before flashing...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
On that page, "JSD" comes with bootloaders. Would that be safe to use on my handset?
Also, what is the "PIT" file for, and do I need to mess around with that?
EzBase is a good way of downgrading easily
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
^That? I shall bookmark it and have a look tonight.
Right, I've read through. The PDF guide for EZbase suggests 2e recovery is needed - how important is this? The guide for installing it suggests I need to root my device and check a string somewhere - but I can't root it using superoneclick, it just hangs.
How do I approach this? I have a working jig here, will that be sufficient to risk the flash without 2e installed? Should I just bite the bullet and go for EZbase 2.2.1, in the hope that I can then root the phone and check for that string?
Anyone, please? I'm technically minded and fairly competent, but as I get my internet through my handset(tethering) I'll be up the creek without a paddle if the phone ends up bricked... I need to be sure I'm not likely to mess things up!
I did it a couple of weeks ago, using this guide:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100906
Went down to JPU, then straight to JSD. After gaining confidence by not c*cking it up, I chopped and changed modems a few times. ZSJPG had nice battery life but relatively sluggish/poor data connection and signal strength, so I used the Gingerbread 3UK modem from my last firmware - it works well for me.

Try the CF-Root kernel.

Thank you, Lunchbox for your fast reply !
But there are many CF-Root-Kernels.
Which one is the right ?
Sorry, but I am a newbie in Kernel-choice....
if you cant be bothered flashing kernels etc here is the the superoneclick method...

just follow that and you will be rooted, then get titanium backup and do a batch backup
Use CF-Root for the JPO firmaware you have. Each kernel has the firmware extension at the end of its file name.

As far as I know it is possible to root the Galaxy with the FuguRoot.

Need root only for backup
Hello xda-developers.com
I need some help according to this title "Need root only for backup" I hope I am here correctly.
My problem is:
The Phone turns automatically off without doing anything.

I don't want to make a reset until I backup the data from my phone contacts, pictures etc...
I read in an other forum that it is posible to flash only the kernel via ODIN CF-ROOT_....
to activate some mounts & storage - usb in recovery. So the PC can use the phone as USB device to copy all data from the phone to the PC. Is this correct?
If yes i will need the correct CF-ROOT for this version below i tryed to find the CF-ROOT for this version but I did not find it for my version. Can you help me please?

Hey guys I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI/3G (Model GT-P7300 I think).
I somehow managed to install Overcome ROM on it when I first got it. Now I want to give it to my Dad and I would like to revert everything back to factory default stock and all. I'm not sure what a Kernal is and not sure if I need to revert that too but probably.
How do I best go about this? I am having much difficulty understanding from googling and reading forum posts and I am not familiar with the acronyms and lingo the community uses. Would you be so kind to please explain to me step-by-step detailed as if I was a child lol
Please link me to everything I need to download!
Oh and another thing: I bought this tab in Asia so it has English and other Asian languages installed. Can I install a different language ROM for my Dad? (I think he prefers Swedish). Will it be locked to any providers or anything?
Thank you very much in advance. I really need help with this

Here's the branded firmware for Telia (couldn't find any other carrier branded for Sweden
Then just flash using Odin, that will wipe everything though, but you'll be back to stock
I don't understand how to flash with Odin .. I don't even know what Odin is! Please give me super simple instructions
I downloaded the firmware file and I put it on my tablet's SD card. I rebooted into Recovery mode and I try to apply the update from the ZIP file. But it says it cannot Open it?! What am I doing wrong?
All is explained in this post here, that is stickied at the top of this section
overome is quite a standard rom with features that are not really seen... the look is stock... I don't see a reason to revert back...
Thanks guys, I successfully flashed with Odin and I think it was a success. You have been very helpful.
But I am still not sure if 100% everything is set to default stock in case of a future warranty claim. Is there anything else I should do? Do I need to install stock Recovery as well?
Thanks again.

If you used Odin and one of the stock firmwares then it should have flashed a stock recovery as well IIRC, I'm pretty sure Odin on these tabs does the whole kit and kaboodle when it flashed
