Pit file: http://www.multiupload.com/NKB3NWGHFA
Download odin v1.7 the rom goes in PDA
Pit file in PIT
Repartition checked.
Warning: all your data will be wiped, backup your data and apps using titanium backup.

[Q] Bought second hand sgs and it has 2.2...

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!
Its laggying badly this 2.2

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.

yeah i guessed it wouldnt be that simple.
guys can you give me a clue?
im thinking this: see if im anywhere near.
download odin
connect phone to pc
restart holding the volume down, power and home
flash with original files - im having trouble finding these
will my samsung be 2.1 and non rooted after that?
will i be able to re-root if i need to? ie to apply lagfix

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.

[Q] Galaxy S software screwed up. How to restore the stock?

Hello,
i've got a serious problem with my galaxy S.
Recently i updated my software of my SGS to 2.2.1 with kies. I was happy for a little while but then i saw darky's rom and i wanted also the Gingerbread look on my phone. I rooted my 2.2.1 using Odin and i installed Clockwork recovery Mod or something like it. After that i flashed Darky's rom on my phone.
It all worked perfectly. But then Yesterday suddenly when i tried to call home my phone wasnt working like it should. And it wouldnt call anybody.
So at home i searched up a stock firmware from samfirmware .com And i flashed it.
Now my phone is all **** because the software force closes and kies doenst work any more. I think i may should have first deinstalled Clockwork mod and unroot?
The only thing i want is to get back to 2.2 or 2.1 Im running vodafone and im from holland don't know if that makes a difference?
Anyways i really hope someone on this forum can help me please.
I just need the stock firmware and everything else like CWM and root of my phone although i cant see superusers anymore in my menu so i think its off?
first of all boot into recovery. do a factory reset/ wipe the cache and also try to format the internal sd card.
secondly boot into download mode and try to flash your stock rom again, do not use re-partition or pit unless you have 3 files (pda, modem, csc), if that completes, let me know what happens after the flash... or PM me if you want to.
Just to add, if you have these problems, you should flash with repartition to make sure that everything will be fixed, but as azzledazzle said, you need all the 3 files to do that.
you knw what a problem is i think ..that i'm not sure im using the right rom to flash with? could you maybe tell me what file i need to flash with? what is the stock for my phone and how can i see it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 this has all the stock firmwares you need. im not sure which ones come in 3 files. ideally you will be wanting one that also has dbdata... if you cant find it i would suggest flashing darkyys new 9.2
you can flash that thru odin, you can use 512 pit even tho it only has 1 pda file. and it also contains dbdata which will restore the old one incase of corruption or deletion (happened to me yesterday)
when i try to format the sd it says .
E:can't mound /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(device or resource busy)
E:copy_dbdata_media: can't mount SDCARD:
do i need to do anything about this? is it bad?
i would try and flash a rom with dbdata if that doesnt work you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905975 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563298
if that doesnt work i think it may need to go back to samsung i suspect it could be a corrupt sd card... (but i may be wrong)
yes yes YESSS i think it worked really thanks man for the fast help etc. now it boots i flashed it and there are no weird apps or force closes...Only one question left if i want to just root 2.2.1 is there an easy app for it? or do u have a file to just root stock with odin?

It's funny.. I did the exact same thing yesterday, and the same result happened to me. Now I'm dealing with how to unbrick my phone.
easiest way is to flash speedmod kernel thru odin, that gives you root and lagfix (if desired) also some extra tweaks to speed up the phone.
PS: Dont forget the thanks button ---------------------------------------------->>>>>
well maybe this can be some use to u it worked for me i guess only prob is i cannot connect to kies but that's just finding the right firmware
damn man it still is not the right firmware how can i see what firmware i need? the one i got now kies still says it cant update
damn man i still dont have the right firmware how can i see what firmware i need for my phone? its a dutch vodafone branded phone i want 2.2

[Q] Help me please. 2.2

Okey, first of all, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, so I need some help.
After long browsing I was able to root my Samsung Galaxy.
Now I want to update my Galaxy from 2.2 to Gingerbread.
Since I rooted my Galaxy it won't connect to Kies anymore, so I guess Kies won't work.
I have an Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
FROXO.XWJPA,
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Is it possible to update, if yes, how?
Thanks
anyone? :l

Download a FW from Samfirmware, the latest is I9000XXJVR (Its 2.3.4), then via Odin you flash a 3 file's, its CODE, MODEM and CSC, and pit file and tick re-partition
Xooley,
I'm new on the forums so cant post any links but if you search for "how to use Odin" then it's really not that difficult.
The biggest decision you have is whether to stick with a "stock" copy of firmware i.e released by the manufacturer or install one of the modded versions from the hard working developers on XDA.
if you have a rooted phone then this wouldn't normally prevent KIES from working, so it might be that your carrier (orange?) hasn't release a Gingerbread version yet.
You can get most stock roms from samfirmwares as stated above. If you've never installed a rom before, make sure you read about it (checked youtube) to see if there are any problems with the one that you have chosen.
best of luck

there's another thing I need to know before i flash. it looks like the modem.bin and CSC files are contained in a single file in the DDJPA flash file you posted above. does this mean i do not need to specify the 'CSC' and 'phone' files in ODIN? I mean, specifying only the 'PDA' file on ODIN will be sufficient,right?

E-book and Daily Briefing - Missing !!
I updated the firmware with odin 1.7.
But later i found "E-book" and "Daily Briefing" go missing !!
Additionally i see "Music Hub" added in the menu.
Can anyone confirm if the missing apps are absent in firmware or just in my tab as i flashed it over "DXJPI" and didn't flash/reset the device to retain the data.

It was not that easy for me. The device was originally from Arab region on which i had managed to load Indian ROM.
GB loaded and Odin gave pass, but again went back to download mode. On a hunch i tried using the old CSC and Modem file and voila it restarted. But then went and got stuck with invalid certificate. Cleared up the cache and hurrah! restarted to Indian GB
Many thanks for the ROM file.

[Q] Trying to update to Gingerbread through Kies but it just loops?

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

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
now ur rooted

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 :/..

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.

My question is, will this wipe out the device? I want to upgrade and keep my information and apps on my phone.
