[Solved] Unbricking Australian Galaxy S

So I've just inherited a bricked (black screen of death) galaxy s that was bought from 3 Australia (as far as I can tell its not sim locked cause they were using it with vodafone). It doesn't have the 3 combo to get into download mode but I've found the usb jig so that should hopefully help me get back into download mode. I am just wondering what the best firmware i should flash with odin once I get back into download mode.

Eclair 2.1 JM9, from there I would go with a 2.2.1 custom ROM in the dev section.

I can vouch for the above recomendation. it is exactly what i did to unbrick my sgs.

Do I get it from the forums or from samsung?
did a very quick google check but didnt find anything with download, so if you could point me in the right direction that would be great!

from samsung here

sorry not sure which f/w you are looking for jm9 is not there but jm8 is .. and that is a full f/w
also can try the new canadian jl2... it is supposed to be great at unbricking phones.

Jm8 has always been my fix firmware for some of my stupid attempts at customization always does the trick on unbranded virgin sgs Australia.

Thanks for you help guys, I found JM9 a little below JM8 so I'll give it a try first its also a full f/w.
While I have your attention! Does anyone recommend a custom rom? I am currently using cyanogenmod on my nex1 and will probably use it on sgs if there are no other recommendations.

any one help me. my phone after flash XXJPU, it die.
my phone don't received sdcard ( internal ) and i try flash some other Rom but still not work (

Just thought I'd let you know (and any other aussie who has this problem) that I managed to get it working using the usb jig and JM8 from the link above and the CSC from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847765 (sorry can't post urls yet), however I had to use the re-partition option in odin for it to work after reboot. I'm now happily setting it up after flashing darky's rom.
Thanks to everyone that helped.

pls help thanks

i think its better that you first go to stock rom xwjs3 with the boot loaders.
you can download them from sam firmware,
and then check in kies the csc must be normal again, if so you can flash the rom you want..
i had the same problem and i think it is because with xxjvk you get the new boot loaders, and you must go back to the old one for you're rom

hi bro thanks for the guide
but nw i have this issues
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
the reason i wanna flash back cus my phome home button not response-ing
): and my camera Len crack

A flash wont fix a cracked camera lens .
Kies cannot deal with a rom that does not match the correct product codes and hardware ID of the original device network data .
If you require Singtel firmware you need to source it from somebody that backed it up as you i take it did not back up your firmware .
Alternative is to try the Kies registry spoofing methods posted on xda or the app from the market .

If any of the firmwares overwrote your product code (not the salescode in the CSC!) then the only solution I know about is to put a factory firmware which has lower version than the latest available through kies (that to make sure kies can be connected and the fw updated) and as a second step you have to manually edit the nv_data.bin file in the efs folder(make a backup before you do this!) with a HEX editor. Find the wrong product code the jist replace the letters, write it back to the efs folder and reboot. You should be fine.
And don't forget to flash a carrier specific CSC via Odin!

thanks all, i have sloved my problem. I also want to share my solution . I took uproom and hard reset hope if someone face to the same my problem, they can read my post hii

I've got the similar problem. My phone says "please put the sim card into the phone". This happened after I flashed Juwes 5.1 custom rom. My IMEI was corrupted after flashing, then I managed to restore it after I edited the nv_data.bin. Now I have an IMEI number, but the phone cannot recognize any simcard.
Reflashing to the stock rom with Odin doesn't help. I've already tried XXJVQ, now I've got XWJVI. Neither hard reset nor flight mode helps. I've already tried to delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 and reboot, but result is still the same. I cannot find any tipps for solution. Have you got an idea what could I try?
Here some information on my phone:
german version, not branded
*#06# shows the right IMEI
*2767*4387264636#:
Sellout SMS Off
Pcode: GT-I9000HKYDBT
Mode: Prod
*#1234#:
PDA I9000XWJVI
Phone I9000XXJVO
CSC I9000DBTJV2
everything seems to bi OK but it doesn't work. I have already found a topic in your forum about SIM initilializing bug, and somebody suggested to flash the following ROM:
(Rom) I9000 Hybrid / No TouchWiz *9/7/2010* for I9000
but its no longer available. EFS backup doesn't exist, as I deleted it some days before That was a big mistake.
Now I have to stay without my phone over the weekend

Hi,
There was no need for you to flash to stock ROM after installing Juwe's ROM 5.1. I am currently on the same ROM and faced the same problem. All i did was flash the JVQ modem via odin and my device recognized the SIM card. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. as I'm now on stock rom, I've already flashed the stock JVI with phone and csc over ODIN. But this didn't solve the problem.

The problem is solved, After restoring my IMEI I was stupid enough, to put the sim the wrong way into the phone Now its working. Thank you guys.

hi tuteary Vtd, what do you mean by "uproom"?? i have the same problem, could you please give some more information about your solution?
thanks,
sami
