South-East Asia should work just fine. After flashing the sbf you should be back to stock, just check to see.

To check if the phone is rooted(it shouldn't be after flashing stock sbf), you can use Terminal Emulater from the Market and type su
If you see root or root 0(I believe), you are still rooted.

[Q] US Tmobile SGH-T849 restore to stock?

Model: SGH-T849 | Code: TMB | Version: T849UVJJA/T849TMBJJA/T849UVJJA/T849UVJJA
Anyone have this or a dump of one? I flashed mine and want to go back to stock but no one seems to have it.
I'll *pay* for it. I thought I had backed it up before playing around, but I did not do it correctly or something and lost my original FW.
I don't want to have to "kill it" and take it back to T-Mo for a replacement if I can avoid it.
Can anyone help?

If you just want your 3G Internet back, all you have to do is flash the US modem.bin back.

I haven't succeeded in flashing back the whole firmware yet. I'm pretty happy with the Euro firmware.

I think the op means that the stock firmware is on the Samsung FUS server and can downloaded if you know the URL. This willow people to go back to stock 100%.

I did put the modem.bin back in (thanks for the info/link!) ... it works again but I think I have the bands messed up (was playing with them) and I get Edge then H only.. no 3g.
I still want the full original firmware and will pay for it.

H is 3G, just faster. As far as the rest of the firmware, just wait for an official release, then you can flash it for free.

Nope, the Euro firmware has the dialer, which is needed as well.
Hello, i am in situation like mattj949 - searching for original SGH-T849 rom or modem, can i get from someone pls modem or whole T849 rom?

I just got an SGH-T849 yesterday, still at stock. I was thinking of flashing Overcome 1.4.0 rom and associated kernel. Now I came across this thread with posters frantically trying to go back to stock. So should ileave mine alone? Stock works fine although I noticed some wifi-quirks.
Thanks for your insights.

Have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you need to flash the orginal sbf to get the update installed. But it is probably a minor update patch. Could be the 2.1 update1. Where are you from?
hi
i've rooted my phone and i'm using the original 2.1update-1 from a website
you guided me to ( remember arabic roms )
i'm from saudi arabia

Oh yes. I do remember. As i said, if you want any OTA download to work, you need to flash the original ROM without root.
hi
you know what
i did that to ( installing new original rom and before rooting my phone i've tried
to install the update but no success )
regarding the original rom does this website http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone has original roms?
if it does so my rom is original
if it's not so you know
many regards
Yes it does. The sbf's mentioned there are all official.
Anyway don't worry about the update. If you have update1, that's it. Froyo will be out anytime now.

[Q] Which SBF to use for Singapore Milestone??

Hello,
I own a Motorola Milestone which I purchased from Starhub Singapore. I am currently using this phone in Bangladesh.
Now, I would like to root my phone to install CM 7, and I understand that I need to flash a vulnerable recovery. But I could not find a singapore SBF. Now my question is, which SBF should I use? would it be okay if I used the UK retail one (Bangladesh uses the UK basebands, 900 and 1800)??
Thanks

There are no region specific versions for CM7. Use the latest CM7 release and that should work. If you have baseband issues you can change it using AOR. If you are looking for 2.2.1, check for SBF's at http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone#section221
(note that service versions won't wipe your system while non-service ones will).
Sorry, I think my question wasn't clear.
My milestone doesnt have hard root yet. So i need to root the phone to install ROMs. Now before rooting, I need to flash an SBF using RSD lite, since I am still on 2.1. Now my question is, would there be any problem if I flashed the UK retail SBF, instead of the Singapore SBF??

Best option would be to install got 2.2.1. That way you need not install VR and can flash CM7 directly.

Ok, so what is got 2.2.1? and what are the steps for installing it? can i install it without rooting my phone?
And if i want to get hard root, which steps should I follow?
I am a noob here, so any help is much appreciated.
Thnk u
The first 2.2.1 that was released by the GOT team. You can download it from the link below.
http://groupoften.wordpress.com/2010/10/16/g-o-t-2-2-1-released/
Then run openrecovery and root your phone and then flash CM7. You should use androidiani openrecovery.

How do i install the GOT 2.2.1 on an unrooted phone? Is there any link that has the installations steps?

[Q] Warranty Stock Rom questions

Hi
My simcard reader has died on me and googling suggested it was a baseband/RIL problem. Only that those problems surface from rom changes etc. I have not changed my rom so its been decided it is purely a hardware problem.
I still have warranty and will need to unroot and put stock rom back. I have done that using NVflash, I am just worried they will suspect I rooted the phone. I bought the optimus 2x in Australia and fear they will know I installed the european rom ( not sure if the roms are the same or not ). What can I do to maximize the chance of LG honoring my warranty?
I have updated the official firmware to ICS, I know for certain it is out in europe, but i was not sure if ICS was out in australia. This is another potential suspicion. Help appreciated, leave thoughts and comments on how I should go about doing this.
BUMP sorry for doing this BUT im taking it tomorrow and need last minute help!
I am paranoid they will think it was rooted etc so I want to know if the official ICS software version P99030b is out in AUSTRALIA? (im running this version atm, its official LG but i don't know if this is out in Australia yet. I think I have the european ICS).
Another BIG question I really need to know is how do i flash a rom that is a zip file that has a .bin and fls file? Is this NVFlash?
The rom I found is from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Can anyone let me know what I need to flash these roms? I found the same rom on another site and don't know how to flash it. Please help the warranty expires really soon.

if you have to flash the ROM using the .bin and .fls files....try the AllinOneTool kit by sprosk....then you can unroot...
but the best way is to connect the device to LG update tool....the job is done....you will lose your personal data...so just backup
no one can then find it out....dont worry
hope it helps

Yes, the official Australia ICS is out, you can download it from here, under the Australia section.

If you check out this thread by felipemadox and download the contents, in the instructions (in the downloaded files, not the ones in the thread) there is one part where you can "clear software update registry", that might help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289
Seeing as it's just a hardware problem, I doubt they will even look at your ROM.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Problems while downgrading CM10.1 to Stock Gingerbread

Hello,
I want to downgrade my phone from CM10.1 on an original Gingerbread ROM. First I have flashed a 2.3.4 version of DarkyRom. Now I want to have a stock firmware for my Galaxy.
All files that I could find were damaged. (Unpacked with 7ZIP and WinRAR). Then I found a T-Mobile branded version 2.3.6, but I hung permanently fixed in Bootloop.
What version can you recommend me and can you give me a three-part firmware?
Thank you very much
greeting
Julian

Hey,
Just checking, did you flash in a file called dbsdata.rfs.tar? That fille is essential when downgrading from CM9/CM10/10.1 because of different data partitions and so on. If you don't flash it in the phone ends up in a bootloop...
Try flash in dbsdata.rfs.tar (you can get it from so many places) then flash it in via Odin, then report back
Hope I helped
