Do exactly what this guide says VVV . Nothing else. (best to return to stock JF6 with ODIN as well) with this http://www.mediafire.com/?0w2y31maz8mdom4
http://serendipity7.weebly.com/download.html

Another way could have been through odin.
What rom are you on?

You flashed a custom Rom without knowing how to get back to stock? Not the best idea. Please do your homework on what your doing before you do it. A search will help you get the info you need.

I bought it from ebay (second hand)...It is pre installed with custom rom (gingerbread rom - dark core 2.3) & mobile showing a generic IMEI instead of its original IMEI. I want to return back to Stock JF6 for restoring my IMEI..

Are you on Serendipity yet?

well yes i acctually own a n1 and am obssessed with roms. right now im still trying to get myself familiarized with the sgs. which is kinda confusing coz of all the numbers.
iam on darky's 9.2. its alright but looking for a stock one right now so that i can customized it myself to my liking.
heres specifically what i wanna do right now:
- flash a stock 2.2.1 rom deodexed
- apply kernel (voodoo or speedmonk)
- lagfix (not sure if it depends what kernel
- all from cwm no odin. (bad experience) lol
and from there on thats where ill start from. right now thats all i wanna do.
thank you for your reply sir.
Okay on a pc here is the link

I have done lots of customisation with this rom and use it on a daily basis hope it helps you.

[Q] revert stock recovery question

Hi,
I kinda have a problem. I'm with Bell and I bought a Galaxy S Ti-9000 unlock and I don't know why but my phone was not able to have phone service but I found a way to flash the root the stock samsung 2.3 and flash clockwork for the recovery but still I did have any phone service so I found the thread on XDA with the Bell stock rom for 2.2 build number UGJK3 and flash it with Odin3 and Voila I had phone service lol but the thing is that I can't install back Clockwork because of the samsung recovery 3e. I found this thread on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 but there is not the build for my phone so does this mean that I'm screwed or there is a way to flash it. I tried to search on google but couldn't find anything.
Thanks for your anwsers.

You need some version < 2.4 as stated on page #1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108).
I'd guess that CF-Root-JPJPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1 is the best choice. But to be honest I don't know if this will work.
Over here: http://www.android.net/forum/samsung-captivate/58043-rom-dorians-ugjk3-2-2-gingerbread-edition.html someone made a rom with a hardcore kernel. So that kernel might help as well: http://www.hotfilesearch.com/speedmod-kernel-k12t-500hz-zip.html

Yeah I know that there is some Rom but the only way that I can install a rom is with Odin3 and I need to have a .tar file don't think that zip file work zip file its when you have CWM installed for your recovery. that is why I need to install one of the file to be able to use CWM to be able to flash these roms. I have rom manager installed but can't install CWM because the stock rom that I installed had the recovery 3e that not let you install CWM
This rom has K12T included. So you can try to flash only that kernel.
I just found that http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html
List of Kernel for Galaxy S for Bell and international galaxy S
I have flash it with Odin3 and I have now CWM
And btw thanks Jens because I didn't know about those kernel so I search on google for that for be able to flash it with Odin3

that's 2.1
for some reason nobody posted a 2.2 kb1 stock rom. all us americans are too obsessed with flashing i9000 roms or heavily modded roms. the only way to kb1 stock on this board is flash 2.1 and use kies mini to update, assuming you havent messed anything up that will prevent kies from recognising the phone like info in the efs partition.
oh right... i get confused by your damn numbers... kb1...
we had JI2 (2.1.1) and JL1 (2.2)
you know how long it took me to hunt that wrong one down?

I thought I saw a cappy stock ROM 2.2 on here when I soft bricked (I use a vibrant). They had all of them plus pre rooted versions and everything. Ill try to find it and post a link.

Here is a link. Just use the file as PDA and use your standard pit and you should flash back to stock 2.2. No problems reported either.

Here is another one..more of the same I suppose. Both are froyo stock though, and I'm pretty confident either will work. This one definitively says use 512 pit and use the tar file you download as the pda.

I used this one to upgrade from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2 using Heimdall a while back with no problems to speak of. The phone ended up developing the same lag as 2.1 eventually so I have since gone with one of the many lagfixed roms.
