I have a I9000t on CellularOne (MTPCS). It's original firmware was I9000tubjg5. I updated to Darky's 9.0.3 and it worked great. However the Wifi would not work. So, I told it to do a factory reset, and this bricked it. So next I used Odin to put a stock 2.1 firmware on it from the XDA forums. This worked, but then I could not connect to CellularOne, only roaming with T-Mobile. I then tried Darky's 8.0, then stock 2.2, and now back on stock 2.1. Does anyone have an idea to fix it back to CellularOne(MTPCS)?
I guess the experts on here don't have a clue about my problem.

More like you are in to much of a hurry .
Your problem is you installed Darkys rom it broke something and you compounded the problem by further upgrades .
Take it back to a clean install using Odin Block 2 method .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
I presume you set your network up manually and you may well have to do it again .If their is no CSC file for your network .
In which case i would personally use Odin to update to Eclair 2.1 and then use Kies for the official update and back up that rom .

I'm also on MTPCS, and i used Darky's procedure from v5 to install. That included an ODIN to 2.1 with clockwork and some other reflashes.
Your best bet is to odin back to 2.1 factory, then start from there. It will take a while, but Darky has the best roms I've seen so far.
Thanks everyone for the info. Nothing worked. I called CellOne and got a replacement. Guess What? The replacement is an I9000 with 2.2.1 preinstalled! Firmware I9000XXJPU.
Hi guys, im new to the sgs, but got some android experience. I was wondering if i can backup the whole ROM/system from my sgs (running 2.2.1 but its kinda branded from my carrier), so that i can flash the latest 2.3.3 or even 2.3.4 with odin and if for any reason i have to take it into warranty, i can reflash (preferably with odin) the stock branded rom that came with my phone. I would really appreciate, if anyone can tell me that, i searched around but couldnt really find this specific question. ive checked the stock ROM thread, and my version is there but im not sure its the branded one, cuz mine says 2011.02 and the one there says december 2010.
As long as you are rooted and have clockwork mod installed you can do a nandroid backup from the recovery menu I believe.
To restore you would have to flash the same base rom though, i.e. any 2.2.1 ROM then let it reboot then root it boot into recovery and restore nandroid backup.
I think that should work.
I'm sure someone wil correct me if I am wrong.
I wish I had done this when I bought by phone from Orange UK branded.
If you find out how to create an odin version please post here for others too.
ok thanks, i flashed the newer version over anyways.. thanks anyways
Is this correct?

I have the same issue and after having mine sent into samsung for a successful repair (with a bunch of arguing and persuasion) I would like to back up this stock rom before continuing in order to avoid that situation again.
Mines a i9000M (bell version )
You always have to hack the ROM a bit to have a backup. Either you flash a custom kernel that'll give you CWM/nandroid backup or you root the ROM so you can do some adb magic.
There are also tons of stock ROMs floating around the interwebs, so with any luck you can find your own stock there.
hi all
i picked up a used rogers galaxy tab 7".upgraded to 2.3.3 official via kies.
GT-P1000R
rooted it.
unlocked it.
now i wish to use the phone capabilities and have a few questions.
i see in a couple posts that you no longer have to flash a complete rom,just a modem.
is that info correct?
i see that the jm2 modem seems to work best with the rogers tab,so do i just flash the modem with odin and that gives me the voice capability.
or do i need to flash a complete rom(European)?
also there is no dialer program so where do i get that at?or does it come with the modem flash.
is there a better modem than jm2 for the rogers tab?or the bell i9000 modem?
i am in canada
thanks,jeff

Careful what you flash though, if it's from XDA any ROM should do you okay but Samsung official ROMs may contain locked boot loaders. Catch up on some reading before doing anything.
Also i suggest that you do a complete backup of your tab before flashing anything else so that you could revert back in case of issues. Stock ROGERS firmware is hard to find. And if you do a backup I wouldn't mind a copy of it as long as you keep your personal information out. As a matter of fact, what i am after is a un-rooted fully stock ROGERS ROM. As i have deleted my original backup, and would like to revert completely back to stock, I would be very thankfull if you could help. But none the less you should do a complete backup, something like the roto or nandroid backups.
Try the OVERCOME rom, it's a great place to start as a noob to flashing, they have very detailed tutorials and the ROM is good.
EDIT: And the OVERCOME rom does work with the bell i9000 modem just fine for phone calls. Although the volume on the tab is not the greatest for a speakerphone.

darned,i rooted and unlocked it earlier this week.
i definitely would have done a stock backup for you.
can i unroot?i used oden and one of the cf rooting images.
unlocked using galaxy s unlock from market.
can i even revert back to stock?if so i will do a backup.
i have done nothing else to the stock rogers 2.3.3
i searched my hardrive but kies must delete the firmware after flashing.

Thanks for the offer. But no need to go through all of that unless you can un root with something like super one click (fast and easy, but I don't think that will work for you). If your tab is still under warranty you might want to learn how to root and unroot and restock and such (its all covered in the forums). Otherwise I don't want you playing with your tab and have a "bad" flash trying to help me out. Do read up in the dev section before you start flashing custom ROMs.
That said if you do feel comfortable flashing and decide to make a backup for yourself I definitely wouldn't mind a copy.

hi
not scared of bricking the tab,i have been flashing samsungs for the last couple years,captivates etc.my last tab i did a supposed gps fix which ended in a bootloop.
i managed to get it back but with a modified 2.2 firmware.then kies would not let me upgrade to 2.3.3(unofficial firmware error)
my problems have always been actually returning to stock.
in recovery i have the orange clockwork recovery that has an option to do factory reset.will this take me back to unrooted and unlocked???
if so consider it done.
i will need direction to do a full backup after that.
jeff
Doing a hard reset will NOT un-root or re-lock your device (as far as I know). The factory reset will clear the data and cache and should not touch the system. You have to un-root your device using the method you rooted it with or something along those lines.
As far as a backup is concerned, creating a system backup has been covered in the forums before. There is plenty of detailed instructions on performing a backuphave a look at the Roto Backup method.
Just picked up a galaxy tab ( rogers )
gt-p1000r
firmware 2.2
all stock
no root
no unlock
I would like to "give back" something
for all the HELLp you guys have given via these forums
( i swear all my grey hair started once i dumped my blackberry and went samsung and found this site! )
Anyway
If you are still looking for the a copy of the STOCK system before I start to play...
I will try to figure out how to make a copy for you
Ok, this is a question or questions for all of you who have experience with flashing ROM's and all other stuff. i got I9000, and I saw a couple beautiful running new ROM's running around with all kind of stuff. I've flashed my phone before with ODIN and I know how this works...but...my phone was broken a few months ago ( motherboard was malfunctioned) and I needed my warranty back so I needed my stock ROM back on. My problem is this...I couldn't fint it anywhere!! You must be thinking by now:" Oh what a noob, stock firmwares are available online etc"..but mine is not...believe me! The team in T-Mobile Croatia, from I'm coming were gracious and they have replaced my motherboard under warranty because problem was within motherboard. But this is where problem starts... My stock ROM 2.3.3. Gingerbread PDA is available online (I9000BOJV9), PHONE also (I9000XXJVO), but there is no CSC (I9000GCROJV7). If I want to put on for example Ice Cream Sandwich, I need to have rooted phone to do that in CWM, and also to make backup of my stock ROM since there is no CSC stock available to download. And again I'm bumping against the wall. There is no suitable CF Root for BOJV9...That means no new ROM for me...Or...someone is smart out there...
Why do you need stock rom? install for example darky ressurection and make back up

I need stock ROM so I can flash my phone with it in case something goes south with phone and that I can bring back warranty on it...
You don't need root for working with Odin, only download mode (3 buttons combo). You can flash any other rom, CWM it and then flash ICS.
CSC is irrelevant. I don't use it at least 10-15 last flashes and everything works fine. I had to modify one for my SGT and I saw there is nothing important in it. But while I was still using it, I just copied it from /system/csc and after flash returned back using Root explorer or Es file manager. SIM (Simobil) is allso hard to find.
Now I see that ICS is not using CSC at all. Can't find it.
When you talk about GB (I9000BOJV9) PDA, is it really just PDA or is it full ROM? On samfirmware (don't know the new adress, don't use it any more since ICS) are usualy full roms, CSC included.
Like I wrote, copy /system/csc, store it somewhere safe, and if you need it again just copy it back.
Hello all,
Yesterday I wanted to try the Kingdroid V2.1 + GS3 addon. After installing, everything OK but no addon on the Note so I decided to go back to my good ol
GB Rocket Rom v23.
As the kernel was reported as safe, I did a full wipe and tried first to install my latest backup. --> Dodn't work.
I tried to wipe again to install zip from SD --> Wipe didn't work neither
I tried to install a stock rom KJ1 via ODIN --> Stuck at the end of Nand write start!!
Could anybody tell me what to do next?
Thanks a lot.
May be a case of Superbrick

Your post is slightly unclear. Can you please specify from which kernel you wiped the first time?
Kingdroid V2.1 used an unsafe LP8 Kernel. In that case you might have a superbricked phone on your hands. In that case I'm very sorry for you.
Now I cant find Kingdroid 2.1 anymore, it seems to have been taken down.
Hello all,
The Kernel version was indeed LP8! I should have used odin and not wipe
it at all...Sh**!!!!
After trying to restore KJ1 via ODin it failed and now my Note shows
a smartphone + yellow triangle + computer and saying Firmware encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. When doing this I can't find how to recover with Kies.
Superbricked or not?
Do I have any chance to get it fixed in a Samsung Service Center?
Could I say that I was doing a firmware update and that is got stuck or do they have a way to see that I was actualle flashing?
Any idea of what this could cost me?
Thanks guys,
Bruxav
Try getting it to a service center and just tell them that upgrading via kies fooked your phone.
This problem started increasing because of Kingdroid V2. and bad guide on installation of the ROM.
I hope Samsung Service Center is the only solution for it.
I too have tried to use Kingdroid V2 rom and my samsung note is gone now.
for getting little things we wasted a lot time, and we are now paying money to get it to its original condition atleast.
Lesson Learnt is Never ever Root or try any S**t Rom. speciall on Samsung handset.
was good enough to do everything in HTC
I also bricked my device with KingDroid and don't seem to be able to recover. I even tried to repartition from ADB, but I get input/output errors, which means the emmc is corrupted, from what I can understand.
Really sad to hear that. How did you go abot to brick it?
That could be valuable info for others.
I found a threat on this forum and as far as I understood, the kernel I had LP8 was not listed as dangerous (might be misunderstood by myself)
I did install Kingdroid 2.1 without any problem and then the S3 mod too. After rebooting it worked smoothly but had no Svoice or any S3 specs. So I decided to get back to RocketRom V23 wich is to me the best (Quick, smooth, batteryfriendly) I've tried so far.
As I thought Kingdroid was safe I did what NO ONE SHOULD DO...wipe it and there began the sh*t!
I tried installing a KJ1 stock rom this morning using Odin but it got stuck at the end of the process. When I unplugged it said ther had been a problem installing software. As requested I tried to restore with KIES but it didn't recognize the device.
Finally I brought it to the service center saying I got stuck trying to upgrade the software with official release in Kies.
Let's just hope they won't be able to restart it and get to know it was rooted and flashed a dozen times
THanks anyway for all your messages, answers and tips.
See ya,
BruXav
Best of luck to you. Please tell us how it went
Also got bricked today. Also going from Kingdroid 2.1. I'am trying to get on stock rom,but not suceeded yet (sorry for bad english )
Do you have some news from Samsung Service Center?
Hi guys,
Here I am, two weaks after my initial post. My SGN just spent two weeks at the local service center. At least I bricked it so good that they couldn't realize that I had rooted and flashed my Note.
So, I got it back after a mainboard swap!
Thanks for your helpful posts and information!
BruXav
I'm glad you got it back.
have bricked my phone one month ago
tried everything no joy
finally contacted my insurance and they sorted out for me.
