How to restore original firmware/rom?

Tried to find information about this without luck.
I'm runing Roto's rom on my tab but is about to sell it and need to restore the original firmware and rom.
Is this possible? (didn't take any backup when I flashed)

I think the best way is to go to the samfirmware.com website and download & flash an original (jj3 in my case) rom following their guide, using odin?
I didn't try so, I'm running Overcome 1.1.3 myself, so I might want to revert back to stock also one day.
Maybe someone could comfirm or advice any correct way to flash back to stock?
Especially coming from ext4 back to rfs...
Might be worth a sticky :-!

How does this belong in the Development section? Should be in General.!

You're right, wrong section. But I can't see any way to move it.
A little update, I've successfully flashed it with original firmware from samfirmware, but I can't find a version with the scandinavian languages.

So, how did you do it? Details.

I also flashed back to a stock rom yesterday (was running overcome)
XXJK5 as I couldn't flash JJ3, it appears to be impossible to flash a firmware with a hiddenfs.rfs partition?
Flashed xxjk5 with repartition on and it was ok after adding also the multi-csc, otherwhise it boots into recovery with an error about "unable to mount..." and "datadb not found...."
The only thing, there must be some problem with this multi-csc file,
the list of salescodes doesn't contain XEU (*#272*imei#), while this xxj5 rom I downloaded was XEU.
KIES tells me by the way "this version cannot be updated" and I find only 3 apps in samsung apps :-(

Magaboo: Pretty much as JohnBlade73 described.
But with the same problems, not the language I want and not upgradable in kies. :/

Do you mean the input language for swype/samsung keyboard?
Because if you can't select your locale for the os, you could just install morelocale 2 from the market.

Hi!
I am from Norway and thinking about rooting my Galaxy tab. But having previously almost screwed up my android phone doing this I am having second thoughts.
Before I am doing any rooting I want to make sure that I can revert back to an unrooted tab. And then I will need to flash my original firmware with odin right? But I have not been able to find this version of my firmware. Can anyone help my find my firmware? Or can I copy the firmware from my tab somehow and copy it back?
My Tab:
Model: GT-P7510
Android Version: 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 7
Build number: HTJ85B P7510XWKL1 (Norwegian/Scandinavian)
I need the correct so i can get the correct input languages.

search for "check fus" program, it downloads the latest version of your tab

If you want custom rom then you need root, otherwise you hav to use pc odin, which will raise flash counter n you will lose warranty, n that needs JIG hardware to reset.
You have option to flash any stock ROM, above said link is best choice to download stock ROM. You will find installation guide on same thread, post #2 n 3.
Btw i m in india n using latest German ROM la4 n is much stable.

Hi Dr. Ketan. Thanks for your reply. I don't want to lose warranty and I don't want to rooting the device. I want to install latest stable samsung official stock ROM which may be available in another country. In that scenario what will be the recommended steps?

Install Latest version of Kies.
download the Stock ROM from the above link (i prefer LA4)
extract it and you ll find one .md5 file
download Odin from same link
attach downloaded .md5 file to PDA tab
in Odin make sure Re-Partition is UN-ticked and do not select any pit file. rest of them let it be.
now turn off your device
restart in download mode by pressing Volume down + home + Power after that just press volume up to confirm download mode
connect Device to PC via data cable (now you can see yellow block in Odin)
now press Start and wait for complete boot.
Thats it....
(Flashing this ROM will not erase any DATA)

In that case also, you can have XXLA4 german ROM, which counts as most stable stock ROM.
Ranjan.alva have gave you a link, just above this post, follow it, you can get installation guide, How to flash ROM with odin on same thread post#2
EDIT : Ranjan have already edited his post n made easy for you. just follow it. still you have any doubt, you will get image guide on same thread post # 2

Thanks a lot both of you. Now I have one question if I upgrade to XXLA4 German ROM weather I will get future update (like ICS) via OTA? Or every time I need to install updated firmware via KIES or Odin?
And after upgrading to XXLA4 german ROM if I want to go back to the earlier stock ROM (XXL3) which already installed how can I do that?

M posting new guide in evening about how to update rom, stay tuned to my development section thread ' how to root ....'
If you install LA4, you wont get update over OTA or even with Kies, you have to update it with odin.
The way which you will update la4, same way with odin you can revert back to xxkl3

Rare firmwares ? Other questions too...

Hi
First of all, I come from the Archos world so Samsung is a bit strange for me.
I live in Morocco and I run an old firmware. It is rooted with zergrush and has got CWM and mobile odin. My GN is now on KK2/KK5/KK2 and it aqked me to do an update : LA1/LA4/LA1. I tried through FOTA but it failed in recovery (well at boot). My first questions are about this firmware : should I do it by kies or will it be the same? Does the update deletes root? (then could anyone tell me where to get the firmware to flash in ODIN) Does the update wipes data partition or resets Android (as in deletes settings accounts apps)?
Then I would like to get the ICS update as soon as it gets out. Does it require the update above? I tried to get info about it on Sammobile.com but I can't manage to find my product code in any of the firmwares (MAT - Rare?) but I see that there is another update for Morocco (product code FWD). Then same questipns as above : can I flash it through Odin directly?
Sorry for my bas English and for the noob questions as I'm not used to the large number of versions firmwares.

The reason the update fails is probably because you're rooted and have CWM installed.
When you update through Odin you will lose root. The easiest way to update to an official rom is by flashing a pre-rooted firmware with Odin from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
You can pick any rom you'd like. You can find the LA4 update there but you can also flash LC1 which is a newer version.
After you have succesfully flashed with Odin you have a rooted firmware but no CWM yet. To get CWM you need to download a separate package from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1
Scroll down a bit to section "2. I Want ROOT + CWM" and download the appropriate package. If you chose to flash LA4 then get the package for LA4, if you flashed LC1 then get the package for LC1 etc.
Extract the package you downloaded and execute "already-rooted.bat" and CWM will be flashed.
After that you have an updated and rooted firmware with CWM recovery.

Thanks for your reply. So basically I just need to get back to a stock rooted and then reinstall CWM?
But then I will still have the issue when updating to ICS right?
Ps : I see the LC1 version but it says France. Will I be able to flash it? (then maybe also the ICS after because the France and Moroccan have the same version LPY or sonething)

Follow the tutorial on a rom, what you want to install... I think you will have to root your device, then go to JVU Stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread rom, then you free to install any CM9 or CM10

First xou have to root your device, then you have to install the cwm recovery, download the Rom and the gapps from a thread. Next you have to do a backup if you want to go back to 2.1. And after this you have to do a full wipe from recovery and then install the Rom and afterwards the gapps and then reboot.
Hope i helped

You can try superoneclick to root your phone. I was on 2.3.3 I9000M and rooted using one click tool. The tool supports many other models. Make sure USB debugging is enabled and all the drivers are installed. Connect your phone and turn on USB, choose auto under Exploit section and click root. Download the tool (Latest Version) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
If rooting process is Successful, superuser will be installed automatically in your phone.

Model: GT-I9000T
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I9000TUBJG7
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.UBJG5
did you figure anything out? I found the firmware (2.3.3) for my model and country (Trinidad and Tobago) at samsung updates but my problem is that I don't know which Odin program to use for my model.
I was thinking about using the update method intended for the GT-I9000 to update my I9000T to gingerbread. Apparently the phones are identical except that the GT-I9000T supports 850 MHz 3G while the GT-I9000 supports 900 MHZ 3G instead. I am wondering if it will work without bricking my phone

how to root galaxy s GT-I9000 gingerbread 2.3.3 I9000JXJV6 GINGERBREAD.JPJV6

i tried to root the phone with following specification:
Galaxy S GT-I9000
Model No: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband verion: I9000JXJV6
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-I9000JPJV6-CL233266 [email protected] #4
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.JPJV6
i used framaroot 1.9.3. result was unsuccessful. it will tell that root was successful but using root checker it says not. then i tried framaroot 1.5.3. i used supersu instead of superuser. this time root checker gives the answer that its successful. but no supersu app installed. i dont know whether this version install supersu app or not. but when i tried to unroot it with 1.5.3 is said success done. but root checker still shows that phone is rooted.
in this case how can i unroot it for safe side.
Then how can i root it using odin.
These are the thing my understanding:
use odin3 v.1.83 Better to install odin3 on windows XP sp2 for samsung galaxy s I9000.
csc firmware: i downloaded GT_I9000_JPJV6_JXJV6_OJPJV6_Sbl.7z
use kernal : Kernel_JPJV6.7z
but which CF-root i have to use for rooting using odin? no idea about this. nobody mentions it.
first i want to know how to unroot which i rooted using framaroot 1.5.3
then i want to know how to root using odin using CF-root?

As far as I remember Framaroot doesn't install SuperSu or any busybox app by defaut - it only provides root access. Usually you have to install a superuser app afterwards. If the root checker app says you're rooted, it's probably right.
Unrooting can be done by flashing any stock rom using Odin over the top. You won't lose your data.
CF-Root kernels are specifically built for different firmwares - therefore if you can't find one specifically for JPJV6 there isn't one. The best thing to do if you do want to root via Odin is to flash a custom kernel or flash a CF-Root supported firmware, such as XXJW4 of XXJVU before flashing CF-Root for whatever build.
Personally I'd go with the latter just to be safe - XXJW4 is a rock-solid firmware anyway.

Im facing another problm now. I tried to unroot using kinga root. After unrooting then i tried to root with kingaroot. It said successful but on reboot it says it says didnt root. Then i tried to root vth framaroot 1.5.3. this time its failed. I cannot root any more.

So which file i have to use for flashing. stock kernal or 152MB file
Are the above two files official firmware from samsung?
Please help me.
My ultimate aim is to install cyanogenmod or mackay ROM.
I understood that we should not flash latest CM from 2.3.3 to 4.4.4 because it will remove IMEI

The 152MB file is the actual rom, so you'll want to be flashing that through Odin. The stock kernel is something else (and comes with the rom so you don't really need to worry about that). Both files are official firmwares as well.

If you can't find one for your specific firmware then you may need to flash a supported firmware.

At last i did it.
let me explain what all I did.
As i told you i installed CWM 2.5.1.2 using rom manager. but it never worked.
so i downloaded CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
I used odin 1.83 to flash. i also downloaded the clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 officially. they recommend this. but i need to root it so i used CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip.
it rooted properly and CWM 3.0.5 was installed.
I did CWM recovery and all wipeout mentioned. then i flashed the CM10.2. damn. this time it failed again i mentioned. it then restarted automatically and restated to CMW 6 version. then it started again the loop. but here what i did was. I started pressing VOL UP + Home + POWER button. this time i got into CWM 6.. Then again I wiped. This time i flashed CM 11 latest without any issue.
So Its possible to flash from gingerbread 2.3.3 to CM 11.

@jaheshkhan Cyanogenmod normally won't erase your IMEI but Slim ROMs would.
Rom Manager app is useless for the i9000 as the recovery on this device can not be flashed separately, it is part of the kernel image
