What I really want to do is to put stock samsung 2.3.6 firmware on my telstra branded S2 (really want to get rid of the bloatware). I have no idea where to get it from as the links on XDA arnt working.
my phone info is this:
PDA: I9100TDVKF4
PHONE: I9100TDVKF2
CSC: I9100TTELKF3
I Have odin but can't find anything else. I have backed up my phone with Kies already.
Anything else I need to do??
Try the S2 thread. This thread is for galaxy s I9000 not I9100.

Hi guys.
I just got a SGS yesterday as my HTC Desire was stolen last week.
The one I got is a German T-Mobile branded phone (has customised boot and shutdown logo) and I really wan't to get rid of the branding and all those useless apps on it. I live in Denmark so i have no use for T-Mobiles apps that don't work here.
Now i have been reading a lot yesterday on these forums and reading lots of guides but I'm still unsure what route to go. Currently the phone is running 2.1 and I wan't to upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1 but unbranded, and then root the phone a bit later and probably move to Darky's Gingerbread edition ROM.
From what i can gather there are 2 methods to do this, but I can't really find out witch one would be right for debranding.
1. Using KIES registry pattcher and change my product code to XEE (Nordics) and try that to flash it to official 2.2 and root that.
2. Using this [HOWTO] manually flash Samsung Galaxy S with JPY firmware ** WORKS **
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
[EDIT] Forgot to mention that i can boot the phone in both download mode and recovery mode holding the 3 buttons, so no need to fix that first.
Information on my phone:
Product code from KIES registry:GT-I9000HKDDTM
*#1234#
PDA: I9000BOJG3
PHONE: I9000BOJF1
CSC: I9000GDTMJH2
Build number:ECLAIR.BOJG3
Firmware revision:2.1-update1
Baseband:I9000BOJF1
Kernel version:[email protected] #2
1. Using KIES registry pattcher and change my product code to XEE (Nordics) and try that to flash it to official 2.2 and root that.
Thats the way to go but you would be best to safe a copy of the current ROM for warranty purposes as you would need to flash it back to make a claim .
Flashing via Odin only if you cannot use method 1 .

Ok, thanks.
But how do I make a backup of the current rom? There is no download for it at far as i can tell.
Get Backup from Samfirmware.com
Go to Samfirmware.com click on Firmware then go to Firmware Section. Select then Android and then Galaxy S GT-I9000. Then download the I9000XWJG3 firmware.
Done

But XWJG3 is not a T-Mobile branded firmware is it? If it is nothing on these guides makes any sense.
Btw I did find a I9000BOJG3.rar file on some download page, downloaded and it does contain the following files that match my current versions. I have no idea if it's a working flash but if it is I would be able to flash thsi from odin to return to stock right?
I9000BOJG3.rar file contains:
CODE_I9000BOJG3.tar.md5
CSC_I9000GDTMJH2.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000BOJF1.tar.md5
Oh my Fault. I tought that only the ending is important (Like if the ending is JP7 than it's a Vodafone Firmware and if the ending is JG3 it's a T-Mobile
But XWJG3 is not a T-Mobile branded firmware is it? If it is nothing on these guides makes any sense
You get branded firmware from the network operator .
All firmware on these pages is non branded .
Again my suggestion is to use Kies registry patcher and spoof the update to whatever you want .

I'm also trying to debrand my SGS and get Froyo, but I'd also like to make a backup of my original ROM. However, my ROM isn't available in samfirmware.com. It's I9000BVJJI1 and I want to update to I9000BVJJPD, which one of my friends has and probably is the same hardware.
Is there any way to backup my original ROM?
Your rom and every network rom comes from the network Sam is generic base roms .
Back up = Clockwork Mod Recovery to save the rom .
May i repeat if you dont know what you are doing then dont this forum is littered with broken phones belong to newbies who have not bothered to read and understand and now need to take the phone back to Samsung for repair with non valid firmware that has invalidated the warranty .
jje
Just did the update via KIES using the patcher and everything went smooth.
Saved the new firmware during flashing and a factory reset after the flash as i had basically nothing on the phone yet.
Right now I'm on 2.2
PDA: I9000XWJPA

Not rooted yet, but I'm gonna do that tomorrow probably.
Hey everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab running Overcome 1.6.3
I've been having an issue with it overheating and turning itself off (nothing to do with the custom ROM, was doing it before, I was hoping the custom ROM would fix it but it didn't).
I rang Samsung about it and they told me to take it back to where I bought and get them to send it in to me.
My issue is that as soon as they see that it's running a Custom ROM they'll send it straight back to me!
Basically I'm trying to work out the Optus Factory ROM / Modem / PITT files so I can put the correct files back on using ODIN.
Does anyone have a stock Optus Galaxy Tab they can give me all the info for?
PDA: ?
PHONE: ?
CSC: ?
Model Number: ?
Firmware Version: ?
Kernal Version: ?
Build Number: ?
Thanks,
Mitchell !
you could try reading this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047516
might get an answer quicker =)
Thanks, hadn't seen that.
Will move the question
the firmware my tab came with was JJ4, but when I got it back from repair it came with JMA, so it is hard to say what you should have
Thanks!
I ended up ringing one of the stores and asking them to read me out all the numbers off the Display model (figured it had never been updated).
It is as follows:
PDA: P1000XWJJ4
PHONE: P1000XXJID
CSC: P1000OPSJJ3
I was able to get the PDA + PHONE default files, but I could only get a default CSC file (SERJJ2) because no one had posted the Optus CSC file.
I'm restoring it all now, will let you know how it goes, cheers !
Hi there,
Did you get it working?
I am trying to restore my optus galaxy tab using odin as well, its a nightmare!
I also have the first two files (and not the csc file), but dont know how to do it.
I have the gt-p1000_mr.pit file loaded in odin along with the PDA and phone one (P1000XWJJ4 & P1000XXJID). I have the three boxes ticked, auto reboot, repartition, f. reset time etc. then i press start. It updates for a while then fails near the end. What am I doing wrong? Is it because i dont have the csc file or is there a certain order to do things?

By the way this link doesn't work
Hey, yep I did end up getting it fixed !
Just at work at the moment but I'll post detailed instructions when I get home !
Awesome! This little saga is almost making me consider splashing out and going ipad, but I am being patient. I think theres a learning curve and then all will be good no? or have you got rid of yours since haha
All is good
I ended up finding teamovercome.net and installed their ROM which Im happy with so far. No optus stuff which is a plus
Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. The time zone difference thing over here is still messing with my head. Glad to hear you got it all sorted. I had a look back through all of my stuff and like an idiot I don't have anything saved any more, but oh well.
Haven't gotten rid of mine, but haven't touched it for about a month and a half, since moving over to the US, and not wanting to pay for a SIM card for it.
which version rom are using from overcome and is there any problems with using it on the optus network

I bought a SGT P1000 2nd hand (unlocked from Orange UK) and it was working perfectly. I wanted to change the firmware as I am not keen on the branded orange firmware.
In my past experiences on mobile fone firmwares I am quite good. Anyway every firmware I try and fololw the guides for those firmwares I get always end up not able to boot from the Galaxy Tab Samsung screen.
all installs from Odin3 v1.7 are fine. even the Download logo on galaxy tab shows up but cant allways access back reboot area depending on firmware installed. but can never pass the Galaxy Tab Samsung screen.
I did not get any info from +#12345# <<<<---- i know i may have wrote that wrong) because i never checked i was lazy. so really I have no clue what firware i need to get exactly and any other bits i need.
so if anyone can advice i would be much appreciated my tab is
Samsung galaxy GT-P1000 from Orange PLc UK) Unlocked (2nd Hand)
What is the model of your GT. Check the back of the unit which should start with P1000 then a letter.
Once you have that, then go to samfirmware.com and look for the correct ROM for your model and download.
Download Kies on your computer to make sure drivers are installed and unit is connecting to your PC.
Download Odin 1.7 and follow instructions with downloaded ROM.
Good luck, most of us have been where you are today.
Let me know how it goes
hello fella thanx for the reply..
On the back of the galaxy tab it just says Model: GT-P1000
and on the box it says P1000 PM
I will follow what you said and have a go. thanx fella for the support
I will let you know what happens and be back to check this post in case you
have any further info.
well I have gone to this page fwandroid.htm on that site you suggested
and all i could find is Samsung P1000 / Galaxy Tab
no extra in list which have PM in letters.
I enter the link and it takes me to Europe Samsung P1000 Firmwares.
but also which do i choose cause i have no idea which is the right firmware for me as i see a list combining of for an example
Europe Firmware
P1000XXJH3 #
P1000XXJH8 #
P1000XXJHA ##
P1000XXJI2 ##
P1000XXJI4 ##
P1000XXJI5 ##
My GT is version P1000N so mine corresponds to America Australia Samsung P1000 Firmwares.
What I would do if I were in your situation, I would try to flash version P1000XXJMQ. By mistake I installed it on my device and it never worked because mine is from a different region but I was able to bring it to the correct firmware..
Go ahead and try it. Just make sure you know how to flash with odin, have a full battery and any other questions I'll be glad to see if I can be of any help to you.
By the way, your device appears to be from network carrier Play and from region Poland. You can confirm here samsunglettercode.htm in the site I mentioned earlier.
Good luck!
in the same boat...
im in the same situation...i bought this tab from a friend...he ended up bricking it...he bought it from amazon and it only says GT-P1000...no letter...mine is unlocked as well and doing the same...so lost..how do i find out what

I was on recently using my Galaxy S2 with Three UK 2.3.3 files, but I decided to make a move to stock Samsung firmware.
My initial details:
PDA: I9100 XWKF4
Phone: I9100 NEKF2
CSC: I9100 H3GKF1
My new/current details:
PDA: I9100 XWKE7
Phone: I9100 XXKE4
CSC: I9100 XEUKD1
Things seem to be working fine for the most part, but Kies tells me that it cannot upgrade the device. This is unusual behaviour as far as I know.
Before it simply displayed a Current Version and Available Version, both of which happened to be the same. Now it simply comes up with the error message that states explicitly that it cannot be updated.
In the future I'd like to be able to update via Kies to stock Samsung firmwares, so is there any way to fix this?
Anyone????
Maybe you should try Kies Registry Patcher to spoof it.
Or use Odin to change firmware wich is faster and easier imho.
I have Samsung Galaxy Tab gt-p1000 and was upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 but it hanged up ...I can't recover my phonve via KIES and I tried to download firmware from samfirmware.com but there was no firmware for ours country India still I tried with Open Asia firmware and flash my mobile using Odin3 now while booting it only shows up SAMSUNG logo but cannot start the phone. I too don't know the PDA, CSC number of my phone. So please let me know where to download 2.3.3 for India and recover my phone....
Wrong forum mate, you need to post it over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752
