[q] i9000adjf1

Hi all, I am in somewhat of a confused state right now and hope you can help...
I have one of the first I9000s that O2 shipped here in the UK. My phone reports firmware of PDA/Phone I9000ADJF1 and CSC I9000O2UJF2. As I am in the UK I would have expected this to be one of the I9000XX firmwares and cannot seem to find any reference to the AD firmware anywhere.
Can someone shed any light on what the AD firmware is? Could it be that it is O2 specific and if so, do you think that flashing an XX firmware would cause a problem? I am just a little concerned about flashing this when 2.2 is officially out, hence the questions.
Please forgive my ignorance if the answer is simple, this is my first android phone

Before you do anything...
PLEASE back up your phones rom and host it online!
there are several of us on this forum who have o2 UK phones and have since upgraded losing our original firmware. If you upgrade and dont back up your original rom you cant send it back for warrenty!
So at least make a backup using odin, or if anyone else knows the way to extract the rom please say now lol.
Other then that I9000ADJF1 is fine for flashing I9000XWJM2 or any of the other european ones. the AD just stands for '02'

Will ROM Backup within ROM Manager do as a backup? I had to Root the phone, then backed up ROM to SD card. I got same ADJF1 Rom.

use clockwork recovery from ROM Manager (from the market) and do a nandroid backup

Ye. This is what i did. I just wander what it will contain rppted image. I will probably enable to unroot it later. Will all get back to normal(unrooted phone with warranty) then official froyo arrive?

[Q] A way to backup whole stock rom

Hi guys, im new to the sgs, but got some android experience. I was wondering if i can backup the whole ROM/system from my sgs (running 2.2.1 but its kinda branded from my carrier), so that i can flash the latest 2.3.3 or even 2.3.4 with odin and if for any reason i have to take it into warranty, i can reflash (preferably with odin) the stock branded rom that came with my phone. I would really appreciate, if anyone can tell me that, i searched around but couldnt really find this specific question. ive checked the stock ROM thread, and my version is there but im not sure its the branded one, cuz mine says 2011.02 and the one there says december 2010.

As long as you are rooted and have clockwork mod installed you can do a nandroid backup from the recovery menu I believe.
To restore you would have to flash the same base rom though, i.e. any 2.2.1 ROM then let it reboot then root it boot into recovery and restore nandroid backup.
I think that should work.
I'm sure someone wil correct me if I am wrong.
I wish I had done this when I bought by phone from Orange UK branded.
If you find out how to create an odin version please post here for others too.

ok thanks, i flashed the newer version over anyways.. thanks anyways

Is this correct?

I have the same issue and after having mine sent into samsung for a successful repair (with a bunch of arguing and persuasion) I would like to back up this stock rom before continuing in order to avoid that situation again.
Mines a i9000M (bell version )

You always have to hack the ROM a bit to have a backup. Either you flash a custom kernel that'll give you CWM/nandroid backup or you root the ROM so you can do some adb magic.
There are also tons of stock ROMs floating around the interwebs, so with any luck you can find your own stock there.

[Q] How to upgrade and downgrade from GB to ICS ?

Dear All
I have 2.3.6 GB stock rom with root and Franco #10 Kernel, and want to upgrade to ICS
the update is not available to my region, so I downloaded the German one (Europe region)
I made a full nand backup to use it just in case of any failure , and did a complete apps and data backup by Titanium Pro for all my apps and data
I read in several threads that I can do the upgrade via Odin PC ore Odin Mobile Pro (I have both and used both in previous upgrades)
My questions are the following:
1- I read that the ICS rom is non wipe, so which wipes should I do to keep my apps and settings and have in same time a no problems upgrade?
2- If I flash this another region rom, and later on my region ICS stock rom is there, can I FOTA update my G Note with my original region rom over the non-region rom?
3- I read also that Iam going to lose my root and I should use another file to root the ICS, so which file should I use? I must have root for some needed apps.
4- If I did not like the new ICS (for any reason) can I use my nand backup to go back to my GB rom (downgrade)? would it be as any restore I did before? If I do this restore should I find my root and my Franco kernel back or should I flash them back?
Thank you and best regards

Any reply

First of all use mobile odin to flash with ever root option... Then ul have ics stock with root... If it gets stuck at boot then u may have to do wipe.... If it boots up without any problem then ul have all the apps...
Regarding the ota... When u have root u wont be able to upgrade... And if u r not rooted then ul receive update to the firmqare to qhich u flashed... I mean if u flash a rom of india then ul receive updates of india only...
Regarding the ics to gb i too have no idea... But as far as i know... Bootloadera of gb and ics are different so dont mess with it.. Ul end up in bricking ur dwvice

[Q] A few questions about flashing stock GB

I'm currently on a LA6 2.3.6 gingerbread, stock, non rooted, and I'm growing quite inpatient with the ICS release dates, which won't happen anytime soon for my CSC, obviously.
If I flash one of the open stock GB roms (want to change my CSC to DBT or similar), will I get the orange triangle, and will my phone get recognized by Kies in case I decide to go for a pre-rooted one? Also, will data and calls work properly with a CSC different from my phone's original one(MSR)?
I just want my Note fully functional, yet be able to use it as if it was unmodified, if possible
I am sorry for the possible stupid questions, I just couldn't find any complete explanations/answers for these!

Backup efs if you havent already done so. See my thread regarding q backups its got a link to how to do that.
Now just flashing stock gb wont increase counters. I havent found any malfunction myself, but reading postst in this forum has tought me the outcome can be different for anyone wtf.
So I suggest make cwm backup of current rom.
Download stock dbt rom gb, flash thought pc odin. Mind you better flash pre december rom so you can root it with root only method. Mind update ics throught kies you need to be unrooted. So if root is not important, flash latest version ics dbt right away. Then change csc it will wipe data. Then you have a possible, not gauranteed ota rom.
Just dont do wipe or factory reset in ics or cwm on ics.
Make sure you have a way back for warrantee, i.e your current rom download it somewhere next to nandroid backup lol

[Q] Backup of current ROM

I'd like to start playing around with ROM's for my SGN but I'd like to know if there is a way to make a backup of my current Gingerbread 2.3.6 Stock ROM.
Maybe with PC Odin? Can I dump my current ROM to a flashable file to be able to go back to stock Gingerbread whenever I want?
I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Its called a nandroid
get yourself CWM recovery and then boot into it, Go to back up and job done, It will create a nandroid.
Now all you have to do is boot back into recovery and restore it when you want !

Thank you azzledazzle. I'm very familiar with CWM and Nandroid backups I was thinking that maybe there was another way. Does the Nandroid backups also backup the kernel? or would I have to downgrade to stock GB kernel first if I want to downgrade from ICS?

I do believe it backs up the kernel too, However i wouldnt recommend restoring a GB nandroid from a ICS ROM, I would suggest to flash GB in ODIN, then restore nandroid.
Flashing with odin only takes 5 mins
It might work, restoring from ICS to GB via nandroid, But i havent seen any confirmation on this, and what with the bricking risks and all that, Its better to be safe than sorry !

Thank you again. That makes sense.
One last question... maybe if you don't know someone else might:
Are all Gingerbread kernels the same, I mean are all 2.3.6 kernels the same for all Galaxy Note Stock ROM's regardless of CSC? Or is there a possibility that my current GB 2.3.6 ROM is not "compatible" with one of the existing GB 2.3.6 kernels (in case there is more than one)?
For instance if I go back to my firmware with CSC TTT and install a kernel for say CSC XME, will that work? and which CSC will my phone end up with, TTT or XME?
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.
