Hi all,
I bought a second hand SGS and it has 2.2 froyo
How can i put it back to normal 2.1 android please?
i dont want root or anything...
can any1 help? ill put a few quid in your paypal if you can take the time to guide me through it?
Well, you could always just goto settings and initiate a factory reset... You'll lose root and revert back to the stock eclair 2.1 ROM.
where is that option?
i found sd card and phone storage and
internal sd card format option
i notice another option in privacy that says factory data reset. but that looks like it might be just personal data reset not full reset thingy,
if what your saying works i will be very happy!

Think about this for a second....a factory reset is somehow magically going to pull stock 2.1 out of .....where exactly?
the OP is going to have to Odin back to stock....plenty of info here on how to do this....
what is Odin?
the search functions are down at the moment so i cant search the forums
Maybe you can help mate? please!

Why else would it be called FACTORY reset ? It would be the firmware provided with the phone, which would be eclair as opposed to the froyo build he received on a rooted second hand phone.
The option is in settings-> privacy-> factory data reset
You can't get Froyo without flash to a froyo ' factory' firmware. In this case, A beta firmware. Whenever you flash to a new firmware, you lost your old firmware completely.

1. Download odin,
2. Download the needed firmware files from Samsung firmwares,
3. Phone off. Vol down, menu, power
4. Add pit512/513 (can't remember which), pda, modem, csc in odin
5. Tick re-partition
6. Connect phone to pc
7. Click start and wait for your phone to restart
All done, This is just a quick and rough guide how to do it, there's a much better guide on this forum what to do and how
do you kno where the firmware files are exactly? i cant search the forums for the guide.. search function is down.
A quick look and you'll find 'forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596'
For firmwares, a quick Google 'samfirmware' you'll need to sign up to access the files in the firmware section That's if there not in the above link
the first one you must to do is download the firmware file through the internet,
then download the drives and odin and pit512 file,
and then install the drives ,then run the odin,select the re-partition,in pit,select the pit512,in pda,select the firmware which named with pda,in modem and csc is also select the firmware named with modem and csc,
shut down your phone then press vol- ,home ,power at the same time,you will see a android ,
connect your phone with the pc,
when the com is turn green ,press start.and wait..after you flash the firmware,you should format the sdcard and wipe your data..
thanks guys
i think ive sorted it, but still seem rooted somehow
is this the right firmware?
2.1-update1
basedband version I9000XXJM4
Kernel version
[email protected]#
Build number
ECLAIR.XWJM8
If thats all good! then thanks very much guys.. but root still looks iffy to me.
will this stop me from receiving updates from samsung? ie propper froyo when its out.
damn i just read that i think i should have used the 803pit and not the 512. is that right?

You can get the firmware here http://www.samfirmware.com/home.htm
Depending on what country you are in, there are diferent firmwares.
Download odin from that page aswell.
They also have a how to guide on how to flash with odin.
From my understanding you won't be getting Froyo OTA, you will be getting it via KIES. But with all the modding going on I doubt KIES will let you so you like everyone else here will have to get it installed via ODIN, no big deal at all . Just check back xda when froyo is in news for sgs

Will this also be applicable to me ? I have only rooted my phone. It's unrooted now... And I've not deviated from the stock firmware.
I advice you to check if the 3 Button Combo works on your Phone. If not, apply the 3 Button SBL Fix before messing with ROMs to help recover the device in case of a brick.
Help, i need this REALLY fast.
My friend got a sgs, and i flashed a new kernel (backed up the original one) and a new rom.
Now i don't know how to get back...
Anyone help me?
Do i have to restore the kernel and use Samsung Kies?

He's running a custom 2.2 ROM and wants to go back to stock 2.1
Should i use Odin? Will this brick anything if it goes wrong?
Damnit i'm in trouble
right ! chill out, take a breath lol you will be back to normal before you no it !!
first of all, go to www.samfirmware.com to get the firmware you need.
put the downloaded files in the correct boxes using Odin.
If the firmware comes in 3 files, Use 512 PIT and check re-partition
hit start, wait for the pass sign and your done !!
You need the jm1 firmware from samfirmware.com, use the flashing instructions on their site using odin.its very simple, just take your time. Jm1 is a low level firmware for 2.1 which will enable you to upgrade to the latest offering via kies making your phone completely stock and "legit".
It will remove the 3 button recovery and download mode which you can restore using instructions elsewhere but I guess that is the least of your worries for now and is the price for going back to eclair.
Good luck and take your time.

you have to flash it using odin. try to find your original firmware in www.samfirmware.com, if not, try to find it using checkfusdownloader descrybed in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032437.
once you flash it, sometimes you need to restore your csc code using *#272* Imei # .
once you done that, your phone will be like new, and kies will recognize it, and you will be able to upgrade it via Kies.
You say that you saved the original rom .
That should be re storable depending upon format as to how .

turn the phone off press and hold volume down , the middle button and power this should give you download mode....
and why would your friend want 2.1? doesn't even support flash...
You should tell your friend to flash JS8 android 2.2.1 it will make the sgs alot better

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my firmware through Kies, as I've just connected and it's alerted me that I am now able to upgrade to PDA:JVN / PHONE:JV1 / CSC:JV5(OPS). I am currently on PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4(OPS), but when I click on the upgrade, it will pop up with a window that looks like it's downloading the firmware, but they disappears as quickly as it appeared, and my phone then needs to re-connect to kies...
This appears to be an infinite loop, without ever really getting anyway. My phone is rooted if that matters, and I don't think I have any lag fixes applied? I know I have applied lag fixes before, but I think I've since flashed with the stock 2.2 firmware, so there shouldn't be any lag fixes going on... :/..
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how I can better debug this problem?
Thanks in advance

if u want do upgrade use just and only ODIN
Thanks for the replies..
I would much prefer to use ODIN too, however I don't want to loose my installed apps and how I've got my home screens set up etc, so this is why I was trying to use Kies. I'm not familiar enough with ODIN to know if there is a way I can use it to upgrade without losing installed apps and home screen layouts etc??
Thanks

Well i think if u backup ur apps then u can save them otherwise i dnt think they remain on ur phone while using the odin is simple.
just go to www.samfirmware.com make an account and chk the firmware sec in toolbox and then select ur model and download the latest formware...JVR is the latest firmware on samfirmware download it and download odin extract that downloaded folder and u have 4 file 1 pit file 2 code 3 csc 4 modem.
Now open odin and put these file respectively ( dnt forget to close kies if u have even from running services on windows) now put ur phone in download mode and connect through odin and tick the repartition on leftside and then start odin...
Of all goes well u r on stock GB
wait phone to phone to boot
now choose any kernel to root ur phone and again turnoff ur phone and get in download mode and choose that kernel in pda option of odin and this time unchk the repartition and start odin

thanks for the reply Ali Khalid... I'm looking on samfirmware, but I'm not able to find the Gingerbread firmware version for Australia? I downloaded I9000XWJVN ## under the 'America Australia Samsung I9000 Firmwares' heading, but that only had a tar file, with a heap of files I didn't recognize..
Any chance you could give me some more direct help? Like exactly which one I should download for Australia? Looking at the country letter code, which is DT for Aus, they only have firmwares for 2.1 and 2.2...
I'm really lost with this upgrading thing :/..
Can someone please help? I need to know which firmware I should download from samfirmware for an Australian I9000...

Is there a specific reason you need Australian version? You can flash any firmware you wish.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
There isn't a specific reason... I thought I would have to go with the Australian one to be sure that calls and stuff can connect to my phone through the network correctly? I'm completely lost with all this stuff to be honest...
If I don't have to get a specific Aussie one, which one should I download? As I mentioned earlier, I downloaded one called I9000XWJVN ## but it didn't have the pda files and pit files as expected.. they were all different things :/..
Im running JVS 2.3.5 (with JVR modem) I haven't bothered to flash an Australian/Optus csc but i guess you can if you wish. I did have to add APNs but that is no big deal.
After that you might want to flash a non-stock kernel for root, lagfix etc. I am running semaphore 1.7 and stock+ theming for extended power menu, %battery crt off etc.
Keep in mind if you are going down this route you will be voiding any warranty you have but ask anyone here it is worth it to make the most of your phone.
Do some reading around the forum and ask any questions you need so you know what you are doing.

Thankyou for your reply Mrlwik, but it's gone totally over my head. I really don't understand any of that.. I have flashed stuff to my phone before, but it was easy because I already had the 3 required files, and there was a step by step..
I guess I could just pop over to the custom roms sub-forum and download one from there and give it a go again..
Do I need to get a special modem or csc file or something to make sure it'll still work with Optus?

Sorry I was really confused once too, I will do my best to break it down a little.
You don't need a specific modem for Optus although different modems will give different results depending on your location regarding signal, 3g, gps and battery (due to signal strength) its quick and easy to change modem and this can be done anytime (through CWM recovery) without any data loss.
CSC is a bit different, although you can use a CSC that is different to your location/carrier it basically denotes any specific apps and APNs. CSC can be changed with odin but will factory reset you phone and you will lose data.
-APN details can be found with a quick Google search and can be added no problem through settings>wireless and network>mobile network>access point and as I don't care for carrier specific apps (apart from "my account" but the .apk for that easy to find) I haven't bothered to change it. Others do find it important.
I know the stock 2.3.5 JVS from samfirmware will contain the 3 files (code, modem, csc) and the .pit file for flashing because it is what i flashed.
Or alternitavely there are a few custom roms that can be flashed through odin regardless of what firmware and bootloaders you are currently running.
Some firmwares/ROM only have one file and it can be flashed under PDA. There are guides for flashing on samfirmware(for stock), here and video guides on YouTube. Always stick to the guide.
Decide what direction you want to take (stock with non-stock kernel or custom rom) and read up on some of the topics in the general section about flashing and/or any topics relating to any ROM you want to flash.
Once you know what you want to do with your phone it will mean much less reading for you and others will be able to help you more as you will know what questions to ask.
There is lots of info here, its just a matter of knowing what info you need and how to find it.
Hope that helped a little..

If you phone is rooted download titanium backup and backup all apps before flashing, then install it again after flashing and restore only apps.
Wow thankyou so much for that breakdown Mrlwik! That does actually help a little! I'm going to find a stock firmware from samfirmware instead of a custom rom.. But it's great to know that I can swap modems to try and find the one that best suits my needs, as I do have problems with reception in my house, so maybe a new modem could fix that?
Anyways, thankyou again, and great effort and writing all of that with your phone! It definitely helped
Well I finally took the plunge and flashed my phone. I used the JVS firmware, which worked seamlessly. Then I wasn't sure if I were still rooted or not.. so I downloaded Dark Core (or something), and flashed that in PDA using ODIN. Then I was definitely sure I was rooted . Now I've just got to figure out a 'lag fix', my quadrant score at the moment is ~1400, but I reckon I can get much better, so I'll try some overclocking apps from the market I think, see which works best for me.
The most painful thing is restoring all my apps using Titanium Backup.. I have to click install for everyone of them, it doesn't automate it, which is so very annoying, but I'll get there eventually :/... lol
Thanks for all your help Mrlwik, very greatly appreciated
I had a similar problem with KIES in South Africa.
I don't use KIES any longer, it doesn't even have the "connect to internet" option.
Since you've rooted your device, I'm sure you have Clockworkmod flashed...if not, flash that using Odin. After that, you can flash any ROM, custom or stock, using clockworkmod recovery, then you don't require Odin again...just copy the ROM or apps you want to flash to your phone, boot into recovery, flash, and restart. Can't be easier than that.

Check your csc, then you will see ics is not out for your phone yet.

Dependant on your rom, you will be able to change it. Then it is still no guarantee update is available thought kies or ota. You can then download rom from sammobile.com. Notice thought all current ics have bug for note, that when you do a factory reset, wipe data or wipe from cwm can brick your phone. So judge if its worth the risk. If I were you I would wait or download cm9, they build a kernel without the bug. Note thought either way you can get warrantee issues

See my post above, only thing you can do is wait for csc arabian ics, or change csc.
Reposted steps, you will lose data.
Download stock gb rom from country which has csc and ics. Flash it throught pc odin. Perform factory reset from dialer. Change csc with steps I posted before. To make sure right one is selected.
Then update throught kies or if available ota. If no update is available, screw it and download ics rom, flash through pc odin, do not select repartition if you dont have pit file. Do not select clear efs.
Extra info:
I cs or gb rom stock roms, unzip them, should be single tar. Md5 file. In pc odin put these in pda. For flashing phone needs to be in download mode. Press volume down, power and home button simultaniously and keep pressed when phone is booting. Then when it shows download mode connect to pc and open odin. Sometimes takes couple tries press volume button up to confirm dowload mode. Now you can start
Flashing. It takes some time, do not disconnect phone. Wait till odin says passed.
Now you have lost warrantee, all at own risk, but upside you could have working ics. Note do not restore backups as they will most likely cause battery drain and errors.
Do not ever perform reset or factory reset from ics, with any app, not even samsung cause it could brick your phone.

Guys, Im sorry you find rooting and such hard.
I installed ICS and I love it. Its very nice and havent found anything wrong with it.
Now, this method I am going to show you will put ICS ontop of your Gingerbread, so you will keep your settings, apps and other things. Its easy and only a few things to do, so, lets get started:
Download the ICS rom (hong kong): HERE
Then copy it to your phone
Now for rooting:
Download the Files first and put in your SDCARD CWM, SU-BusyBox
Reboot to recovery (hold vol up, power and home)
Choose and apply the CWM update.
Then do the same with SU.
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
You are now rooted.
Reboot.
Download and install Mobile Odin.
After installing this, open it and grant it superuser permissions.
Scroll down to open file, select your file and press ok.
Select inject enable everroot, and everything below it, then press flash firmware.
Do a MD5 check if you wish (dont have to, but it is best).
Then after 2-3mins, it should install and reboot.
After reboot, it will take ~5mins to startup as the applications need to be altered for ICS.
So, hopefully, you did that right and now you have ICS!
(Credit for these files go to dr.ketan)

How did you do that ? My CSC code shows its from Poland. Will changing the CSC code to Germany will make it get the update ?
Or if there is any other way please do tell.
Actually flashing a ROM is not that difficult. Just follow what the senior member's post. Follow step by step and you will lead to success. Try few more times and you will be used to it. Don't worry about the binary count as we can reset the binary count using Triangle away and binary reset.
I flash my SGN more than 15 times, keep flashing till I get the fastest ROM I wanted. From GB, German ICS, CM9, Rocket ROM, Criskelo, Litening ROM..
Now I stick to KingDriod. This ROM is damn fast.. Can give it a try..

Hi everybody,
Phone Model: Samsung Galaxy S I9000
Made in Country: Korea
Current ROM: 2.3.6 (i flashed this OS by Odin). Baseband: I9000JVU. Karnel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVT-CL617736 [email protected] # k16-11
Build: Gingerbread.XXJVU
Internal Memory: 16GB
Listening Music, Capturing Photo and Video, wifi, Btooth, etc are OK.
Current PROBLEMS:
1. Force Close Box Shows at start-up.
2. After Start-up maximum programs r shown on menu but not run. (example-air control lite,aldiko ebook, allshare, angry birds etc).
3. Internal memory is anyhow fixed(1.4 gb used, 12.4 gb free), not deleted anythings, no pasted on it, not formated.
4. Restarting Several times in a day.
5. Outgoing Call is ok but incoming call is not OK. when a call is made to this no, only a ringtone is heard for 1 second and then the network signal is vanish, then after a few second the network come again.
6. Mobile tracker is on, i can not off. i dont know the 8 digit code.
Solution i HAVE TRIED:
1. Flashed by ODIN with Froyo(2.2.1), Gingerbread(2.3.6, 2.3.4)(PIT, CSC, PDA, PHONE).
2. Flashed by Heimdall with GB and Froyo.
3. Format internal SD with PC by USB storage, BY Phone Settings, By CWM recobery option, By normal recovery option, by PC with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.1. Also tried with Convert to rfs/ext4 by cwm speedmod karnel. BUT I CRIED and crying, no result, old files r back as king stupid.
What should i do? I hope there will be the right person who can solve the problem. BUT i dont know who is THE BOSS.

You can try flashing a jellybean or ICS ROM. That's not a solution, but a good workaround.

Yes I will agree try to upgrade your firmware to either custom Rom > ics or jellybean..
If problems persist then you might have hardware or software problems..

Odin is only used to flash stock ROM eg froyo, gingerbread
To flash ICS or JB you need working memory, because you flash from recovery.
Not long ago I had a problem with my phone. Only stock ROMs worked, ICS and JB bootlooped and I couldn't use the internal memory. I saw it in file managers and Windows, but I couldn't create our paste any file onto it. It turned out to be faulty internal memory, which just died. I gave it to a Samsung repair centre and after 2 days they fixed it.

Thanks all of you. I think my device is dead anyway
