I've tried this one but failed.

Well, I guess the version must have been updated incorrectly then
It got me excited awhile there though.

SamsungFirmware's Twitter post 3 hours back mentioned this - 'Samsung I9000 ASIA firmwares 2.1 = I9000DXJG4 2.2 = I9008ZMJG1'.
I'm downloading both - will give the supposedly 2.2 firmware a try but am slightly concerned that it's an 'I9008...' and not an 'I9000...'.
Anyone tried ZMJG1 yet?

Looks like the 2 ROM released by samsung-firmware are not very popular.
tired of flashing new test ROM?

content removed for giving incorrect information..

AFAIK, model number ends with an 8 are for chinese market. They also says Anycall on the phone instead of Samsung. They should have the same specification as those models end with a 0. for example Tocco was F480/F488, Omnia the ancient was i900/i908.

It's a 2.1 Android rom not a 2.2
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-173001-1-1.html

This ZMJG1 is 2.2, but you need to ude Ares to flash it, anyone what to try it?

Do not flash this the ZMJG1 is for GT I9008 2.2 but the only problem is that the I9008 spec is a single GSM band 1900 Ghz.

For more infor about I9008 check this:
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...me=N&application_id=371245&fcc_id='A3LGTI9008'

Wow, the china market for i9008 has a Froyo rom, nice indeed.
Also, it uses Aries Downloader and coupled with Shrewsbury-v5 adb suite, no wonder it looks strange.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH this on i9000.....I almost bricked my phone trying to flash that with odin. Using the included flasher didn't work. It will fail right in the start of flashing with Odin, and after that, phone cannot boot up!!
Lucky still can put device into bootloader mode, but it took me few attempts before odin was able to load JM2 into rom!

no reception after flashed rom through odin

Maybe a silly question but... Is that the model of the phone your trying to flash? I9000? Cuz here in PR the i9000 model is only for Claro not TMobile.. And they work on different bands.. But if u're sure that's the model, its fine..

i think i did flash i9000 maybe thats why? i cant find firmware for t mobile version :/
Its the vibrant firmware i need but i cant flash it it gives me FAIL on "modem.bin"
wow i think i just realized i didnt flash the Galaxy S 4G. Because of that when i try to update "4G" firmawre with odin it gives me modem.bin error all makes sence. Now only if i could find a firmware with pit and all the files to bring back 2.2.1 maybe and then go to 2.3.6 for Galaxy S 4G

Find your modem http://perka.zapto.org/ and flash.

Flashing stock on Galaxy Mini.

Hi!
Today I have bought the Samsung Galaxy Mini ( GT-S5570)
It's have been flashed with "CyanogenMOD 7.2.0"
I want to go back to stock,but i cant find my firmware.
This is the information from the "about" section in settings :
*Model number: GT-S5570
*Android version: 2.3.7
*Baseband Version: S5570XWKS2
*Mod version: CyanogenMOD-7.1.0-GalaxyMini-KANG
*Build number: GWK74
I cant find my stock ROM.
I have tried in here: http://samfirmware.com/
And i cant find the firmware that match to my phone.
And i have found this post:
http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570-original.html
No sign to my ROM too.
someone can tell me what to download?
thanks .

You need XWKS2, should be availabe at sammobile.

I know,but i cant find it...
Its just not there.

Question : Why you need XWKS2 specifically ? I guess any SGM ROMS found in sammobile could be flashed through Odin. Its as simple as that.
Anyways here's your firmware (XWKS2) :

I'm not sure about 3G or Maps and Navigation and all, because I've not used it. But all other things such as Wifi/2G etc. works perfectly. I myself was using European GB stock firmware for long time.

What does PDA, CSC mean? which firmware to choose

Hi all,
I have just bought me a galaxy note with 2.3.6 firmware,
And i wonder what does the PDA and CSC mean in the firmware upgrade to ICS?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
I don't really understand which firmware to choose...
I want to choose 4.0.4 but dont know which one.
I am currently using :
model number GT-N7000
android version: 2.3.6-mobile-star
baseband version: N7000XXLPT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4CL886827
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
What is my PDA?
What is my CSC?
What is PAD?
What is CSC?
Which firmware can i choose?
What is the difference between all the firmwares?
Thanks in advance

PDA represent your build version
e.g your current build is Build: GINGERBREAD.XXLA6, then PDA version of your ROM is XXLA6
again XX represend for countries, XX means it is for europian country
If suppose your build info contain DDLPA, then DD represens for India and PDA version is LPA, means that ROM is for India
Same way CSC is sales code., you can check your ROM CSC by dialling *#1234#
again first two digits represents country and last three represents release time.
But as such there is no restriction to use any ROM for any country if your device is unlocked(carrier restriction free)
Latest ICS is LRK for germany, you can use that too.

I see

Thanks for the reply dr.ketan now i understand something!
Just to make the picture complete:
when i dial *#1234# i get:
PHONE: N7000XXLPT - what that means?
CSC: N7000EULA1 - what that means?
I understand that because my phone uses PDA with XX i can use any EuropeanROM ?
Thanks a lot!

backup your efs first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606012
you need root for that you can get that by following dr ketans guide in sticky section developement.

you can update to any rom any time, just follow dr ketans thread and follow pc odin route
Updating throught Kies/ota is tricky, you need pcode sometimes of the country rom you want to go to, no root, and csc of that countries rom, and a whole stock rom installed for that csc. Best to just always follow pc odin route lol
also read stickies and threads fully cause a lot messed up by not doing that. One tip on ics do not wipe/factory reset
happy reading and searching

Find rooting guide from my signature n get cf rot kernel
Ps: cf root kernwl for lrk not available, use lrg instead of that.
Or use custom kernel like speedmod

CWM and battery
I have rooted the N7000XXLRK successfully.
You mean that i can not install CWM application on that firmware?
So how do i backup the whole phone without CWM?
And another question:
i want to see the battery percentage on the upper bar and not only the battery icon indication, how do i do that? is that possible?
Thanks,

best, not to use cwm on a kernel that can trigger the emmc brickbug, best to use kernel like speedmod k3-11 or likewise which has the trigger for emmc brickbug disabled when doing anything in cwm, or in ics.
Dont wipe, factory reset, change csc, or delete large files on a stock ics kernel
to eliminate these issues read threads/first posts of kernel threads btw.
tip: use kernels based on tw, or stock for stock ics, kernels based on cm9 or other are not for stock..
tip2: when nandroid backup, and wanting to recover that, you need same kernel installed as when backup was made. So use a safe kernel
tip3 when recovering apps and data on different roms, issues can arise due to different database structures, which is why its not really supported on i.e. cm9
tip 4 Some roms are wipe some are not. when going to and from gb and ics stuff could linger, which could cause softbricks. There are clean ways to go to and from, enought threads on that's but always do it on safe kernel whatever wipe action

Download ur stock rom and extract the cache. img file from it. install this cache. img using pc odin selected in the csc tab

if you made efs backup with working ota, restore it, if you didnt, check if:
no custom parts installed (kernel)
Or parts that didnt come with same stock rom version (e. g. if you changed modem)
Or if your pcode is different.
pcodin is faster lol

Thanks for the explanation, but what do the letters PDA actually stand for?
(And please don't say "Personal Digital Assistant," because that's all I can find and I've been searching all day.) :fingers-crossed:
I'm sure it must mean something else when it is being used in a discussion of Android mobile phone software.
Does anyone know what "PDA" actually stands for, what are the actual words represented by that abbreviation?

CSC and Google Play App

[Q] No network on new I9305

I just bought my second I9305 (first one was stolen) and it doesn’t connect to any network band. It is the same International model I had before that worked perfectly. I’m not sure if it has some country code limitation, but the frequencies and bands should be the right ones.
The phone is stock version. Baseband version XXUEMK1.
I’m not sure if I should flash to another Baseband. My cellular service provider works LTE at 1800 frequency and Band 3.
Any clues about what I should do?
Thanks
Henning

Hi,
Which is your stock firmware version JB 4.1.2 ? JB 4.3, or ?
Rooted or not ?
If you want to be sure your phone is OK, just reflash via ODIN your stock firmware from your country (and if you want from your carrier), it includes PDA, CSC and MODEM . Be sure your phone is an internationnal model i9305 and download your firmware HERE or HERE. I recommand this GUIDE from MaHo_66 xda member.

I've made some googling but I didn't found which modem version you have to use. I guess you have to find a latin america modem version but it has to be compatible with your current Android 4.3 build.
Did you previous stolen i9305 was running Android 4.3 as well ?
Do you know some ways to remember which versions you had on your previous phone ? Do you know someone else with the same phone ?

So try do a clean install by wiping all and flash latest build I9305XXUEML9 from italy (TIM) with Odin. It's Android 4.3 like you currently have.
You can grab it here for exemple : http://samsung-updates.com/details/24460/Galaxy_S_3_LTE/GT-I9305/TIM/I9305XXUEML9.html
Follow MaHo_66 guide.
Don't forget to backup.
I hope it will do the trick.

Hi,hbergold,why not flash the version firmware 4.4.4 Stock.Here you have two versions of 4.4.4:http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305 So you would be clear if the problem is the modem.I use the version DBT Poland, I live in Spain and everything works great.Version 4.4.4 also includes again the possibility of entering service mode and choose the bands.You can flash it with Odin.Pasate por aqui:http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=920004

Thanks FLooDW, I am just a bit concerned that the phone does have KNOX, and the MaHo_66 guide suggests not to flask with this. What are your suggestions?

Hi,hbergold,why not flash the version firmware 4.4.4 Stock.Here you have two versions of 4.4.4:http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305 So you would be clear if the problem is the modem.I use the version DBT Poland, I live in Spain and everything works great.Version 4.4.4 also includes again the possibility of entering service mode and choose the bands.You can flash it with Odin.Pasate por aqui:http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=920004

Gracias viktorak, but does this modem work with LTE band 3 (1800) ?

I can`t confirm, but with the the Service Mode you can force the band you will.Have you read the post I linked?Your partner, also from Venezuala wanted to force the band 5 -3G, and according to reported- it works.Then,using Service Mode you can force the band you will.
You need to first install the 4.4.4 Rom and then if it doesn`t work normally use Service mode.

Thanks FLooDW, I am just a bit concerned that the phone does have KNOX, and the MaHo_66 guide suggests not to flask with this. What are your suggestions?

@hbergold, about KNOX, you told me you have an Android 4.3 build, so if it's an official one, you already have a KNOX bootloader (the one from sammy Android 4.3).
About bootloaders:
- if you ever flash 4.3 or 4.4 via Odin or updated from OTA you have new Bootloader from android 4.3 or from 4.4.4.
- if you bought your device and you dont know what bootloader you have, turn off your phone,reboot to download mode (hold power + volume down +home buttons) and when is there Knox flag 0x1 you have new bootloader and you are warranty off. When Knox flag is there 0x0 you have also new bootloader, but you are still in warranty and when you'll flash any custom recovery or unofficial firmware via Odin, you'll have then Knox 0x1 and you will be warranty off - so it's on your deciding. When isn't in download mode any records about about Knox, you still have old bootloader (from android 4.1.2).
- since the new sammy Android 4.4.4 bootloader, now there is also a line in blue color saying ´´SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLED''
About @MaHo_66 's opinion, please read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56506775&postcount=12. I hope he will not find any problem of sharing his post
I also recommand to upgrade to an Android 4.4.4 build but it's your choice and it depends on what you want to do with your phone (install custom ROM or not = warranty stuffs / if you want to sell the phone later, ....). Also I think you will not be able to flash any older official build (Android 4.1.2 or 4.3) if you upgrade to 4.4.4 because of the bootloader. I recommand it mainly because there is no more this random ******* stuck mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock issue appeared since sammy Android 4.3 and which was a big problem for battery life. And also because it's smoother and faster.
I hope for you that @viktorak service mode trick will work for you if you decide to upgrade to android 4.4.4 official.
