Hi all, have been searching the net and these forums but so far, not come up with a result.
I have a galaxy mini as my spare phone and rooted it when I got it. I then managed to semi brick it and bring it back to life but the only firmware I was able to get on there was the Carphone Warehouse one.
I'm on Three UK and the phone is locked to three. What I would like is to be able to get the official three firmware back on the phone but the only one I found was an old froyo one which didn't work for some reason when I tried flashing with Odin. It got just to the end of the download part but didn't actually flash beyond that point and the phone wouldn't boot etc etc so that's when I resorted to the CPW firmware.
As I am having some issues with the phone, that's why I would like to be able to get it back to completely three firmware as I suspect my problems are down to the wrong one.
Sorry to be long winded and sincere apologies if the answer is already here somewhere but I really cannot find it.
Thank you in advance.

I have yes. I've looked all over, can't find anything. I did find one for 2.3.4 for three uk but unfortunately when I clicked on the link, the file had been removed. Can't remember if that was a link on SamMobile or another site now though.

Thank you so much, you're a star. Now to download what I need.

Oh dear, it appears the only gingerbread rom for three is Italy and I'm uk. The uk one listed is the froyo one that I have already tried. Will download it again and try it but don't think it will be any different to before.
What a shame. Wonder why there isn't a gingerbread one for three uk when there is for Italy.
Thanks for trying though, I do appreciate it.
Aliso
ya me too, need one for 3 for UK, the gingerbread ver 2.3.5
can we get that from anywhere?

Hi there if anyone could help me out im trying to locate the stock galaxy s telstra rom i done a back up of mine before i started playing around and some how managed to get a virus on my pc and lost everything including my backup i would really appreciate any support you all have to offer as for my wife wants the standard software back on her handset thanks for your time.
Stock telstra right?
The best place to find australian firmwares, telstra in particular, is whirlpool. XDA seems to ignore us
Go to the whirlpool thread "Stock I9000T Telstra Rom". There are links there from me as well as links to Doc Dan's hosted JH3. I would give a link but... my post count >.>
I highly recommend you use Doc Dan's files! I posted some, asked for feedback and never received it :/ Thats after 50+ downloads too
This is the stock 2.1. Havent seen DVJP8 yet. Coincidentally, does anyone know how to get/create these flashable ROM's? im sure people would like JP8 available for reflash instead of JH3, and samfirmwares doesn't have OUR JP8. Or OUR JH3 even. (samfirmwares.com: ignoring the telstra galaxy S even moreso than XDA developers )
Telstra is 2.2.1 now
Modem it comes with is DVJP9
Recommend it over 2.1 anyday
I recommend following my guide on how to upgrade to a custom rom
Stock is a waste of time

Network roms are only available if a user saves them and uploads them or at least shares .Most users do not bother so XDA never gets them .
Likewise unless the firmware is available from a user that has downloaded it Samfirmware cannot get a copy .
Both XDA and Samfirmware rely on you the user to supply the base roms they have no secret source of roms .

Thats fairly understandable
May i ask how this is done? all ive seen is system dumps, which i understand are useless for anything 'cept custom rom development
Either backing up rom through one of the apps available or saving a downloaded rom via Kies .Dont know if the spoof Kies method below still works .

Gday thanks for all your replys I have found a few links at whirlpool forum unfortunately there all no go anymore and I have tried the spoof method with no such luck either the reason I need the original telstra firmware is my touch screen is playing up and I was going to reload the original firmware and see if I can get it fixed under warranty as for its only about 4 months old I have tried other firmware and still have the same problem with the touch screen

Search for the thread "Stock I9000T Telstra Rom" on whirlpool. It should have posts that are both good. JH3 in zip folder is unpassworded, the .rar has asgardxda as the password as stated in the aussie firmwares thread (it is where i got a copy from). Also im pretty sure doc dans also works, there is a link at the bottom of that thread. I would LOVE to post direct links for you but my post count angers the xda
I certainly know mine (listed under "Orenthi", old screen name i would like to phase out / kill with fire) are still up and running. Over 50 downloads and not one bit of feedback XD. If it is bricking or failing to work i would love to know...
Anyways, i saved a kies downloaded ROM today, telstra JP8. Thanks JJEgan for the assistance in that . Seems right, slighly larger than telstra JH3, has all the files as seen in JH3 and no dbdata so like JH3 it isnt a full ROM (was expected). How would one make this odin flashable by the way? is it as simple as making it .tar.md5 and what application is recommended by xda for this?
edit: scratch that, have uploaded jp8. Tested it on my phone too!
Link can be found on whirlpool thread Samsung GT-I9000 series Aussie Firmwares, p10, 13th post hope it works for everyone else
Oh and apparently xda likes to know bootloader status. it takes the phone from 2e recovery to 3e recovery so ill go out on a limb and say does include bootloaders
Gday mate thanks for the firmware downloaded it this am and installed it straight up via Odin works like a charm 10/10 for your help and support

O.k. heres the deal.A while ago i wanted to update my 2 sgs and my sgs2 to official xxkg5 when it came out so i thought id start with the sgs.Have flashed heaps so this was nothing at all new.A this moment id like to say that i wasnt aware XDA.Searched the web for the update for the official 2.3.4 for the sgs and found a site which i will not name as to not cause problems.Found it kind of strange that it was only a PDA tar. file so read on and they confirmed that its all good.Downloaded but thought id wait a while to see how it went.Anyway seemed o.k. so i flashed and bricked my phone.Couldnt beleive it.Maybe ill try again.Flashed and bricked the seconded phone.Went searching for the site but the site had takin away the link i had used which was "how to update your galaxy sgs i9000 to official keis XXKG5".Then i joined XDA and you guys dont have kg5 for the sgs only for the sgs2.On this site ive updated my s2 to xxkg6 with villainROM2.4.2 and all went well but in your list of 2.3.4 sgs firmwares its stated as jvq.When i went back to the other site and asked where the link was and why they had taken it of (i had to do so in the s2 xxkg5 update messages forum) all he could say was do the flash again it will turn out fine in the end.I TOLD HIM THEY WERE BRICKED AND GOT THAT AS AN ANSWER!!!!What in need to know really is that after hours of searching and sgs i9000 xxkg5 update links disappearing from the web was it me or is xxkg5 only for S2 and not for sgs as stated here and not like this other clown is STILL trying to tell me!!!!!......an answer will help me out of my misery but wont bring my phones back in know and now im to f'n freaked out to flash my s2 again.

Ya I think xxkg5 I'd fit sgs2 and not for sgs for sgs u have jvr as latest version. You can download official firmware from a reputed site like samfirmware.com
Sent from my sgs
kernel: galaxian
Rom: jetpack
Thanks mate thats what i was thinkin.i had jvr in one of the sgs but that site said that kg5 was the official sgs 2.3.4 and then they took the link away and still tell me to keep tryinin.bunch of clowns.im pretty sure im not the only one too.
I have both the SGS and SGSII as well and unfortunately you did flash the wrong software after some dud advice.
The only thing I will say is have you heard of the recovery jig?? It helps to force the phone into download mode. I havent tried it personally but it has worked for a lot of people.
A quick ebay search gave me these. http://shop.ebay.ie/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=i9000+jig
Hope it helps.
Aewsome mate.looks like a good thing to try.might just be the solution.The thing is that it doesnt show the classic symbols of a bricked phone but worth a try.
Hello, Sorry for my English I'm french.
I've bricked my GT-S5869i but I don't have rom to flash with odin can you upload a rom for this device please it's urgent, Monday I have a school trip at 5 am.
try to ask in sammobile forum as thats where all sammy rom is posted, maybe u'll have better luck there.
the GT-S5839i is a rare i assume, googling for it doesnt bring any info at all :/
If you mean s5830i
Go here:SamFirmware and select your region, then choose the latest rom.
Choose your rom and flash with ODIN.
What is this gt-s5839i I have never heard of it?!

samsung galaxy ace gt-s5839i...that phone is fresh from UK
Hello!
Let me just say I have been long overdue with registering here. I have been looking for help threads here for about 6 months on my Galaxy S3 phone and other questions. Awesome forum and really loving it.
And also, if this question is somehow "overdone" (I can see it being a question at a regular basis) OR posted in the wrong forum. Then sorry! I am however very thankful for a reply to it, and if this thread needs to be moved then go ahead. (And if it needs to be taken down, I would be very thankful for a reply)
I installed a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305N a while back. First I used clockworkmod to fix a loader, rooted and all that stuff. Then I installed the only Cyanogenmod I could find. (It wasn't an officially supported one at the time, I have no idea how that rom is doing now however)
I then reformatted everything to the original loader and rom. It looks mostly the same as it did before, but with some new features.
However, I need to send the phone to repair. The battery is defect and the charger seems to drain its battery.
A phone support guy that I know, told me that it is possible to see a "history" on all the roms and roots and etc, that has been done to the phone. In order to make sure that nobody reloads the warranty Rom and sends it off to repair. Is this true?
If so, how can I fix this? Is there any way to just reboot the phones so called history? Or did he just tell me this to scare me off?
Is there any way I can test my Samsung if it is eligable for warranty, without sending it off to their repair? (And do they check all phones for custom roms?)
Thanks for any help! Sorry for the LONG thread.
I am not that good with computers and programming. Could be worth mentionning! I managed to load the rom through tutorials, that's it. =P

In fact, thanks to all good replies. The triangle thing was what I was looking for! I am a total rookie but I feel as though I learned quite a lot. Perhaps I should root my new phone now. "Haha".
No but, I actually got one question.
How do I know if it really is my official rom? I read somewhere, that every telephone-operator has their own Rom. So just picking one of the Roms might not work?
How do I know if the source is correct? I'm a bit concerned that I might format the phone, send it in, and they notice that I flashed with the wrong Stock Rom.
I have a Galaxy S3 i9305N with the operator Tele2 in Sweden. Sammobile.com has 3 stock Roms available (One only for members though) Which one is correct? Or does it not matter?
Thanks for any help again.
Many apologies if I am a bad googler. This is one of my first issues I have never been able to Google my way out of ;P
EDIT:
GT-I9305N Sweden 2013 March I9305NXXBMC2 I9305NCOVBMC2
GT-I9305N Nordic countries 2013 January 4.1.2 I9305NXXBMA2 I9305NNEEBMA2
GT-I9305N Sweden 2012 September 4.1.1 I9305NXXALIA I9305NCOVALI7
Those three are my result. How do I know which one I should go with?
EDIT2:
I was looking around a bit. I think the right one would be 2013 March (Top) right? Thing is, I find another one through a Swedish forum with a thread just like this one.. and it puzzles me what to pick. Does it matter at all? I used the one from the Swedish thread a while back, and I noticed it differed a bit from the Rom I had on the phone from purchase... Is it best to go with one from Sammobile? (And if so, which one.. )
Okay my friend! I checked it out...
On http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305N are only 3 firmwares for the I9305N
BMC2 is for Sweden and 4.2.1
BMA2 is for Finland and also 4.2.1 but
ALIA is for Sweden an 4.1.1!
Now is the question with which firmware your phone was coming?
I guess, my friend, I don't know the answer... you could try each firmware...
I'm sorry, I really don't know!

to the person that gave info on where to place the period and remove spaces thank you. you may have saved hours of frustration. i recognized the space between dropbox and com but may have taken a while to see the space in rev00.
