Make sure your device is rooted first. If not, go here and follow the guide for which ever firmware you have: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 You can flash cwm with odin or heimdall (plenty of xda tutorials on odin)

Does the modem number need to be the same as the one.that i have currently?

[Q] Restoring Korean Galaxy S to 2.1

Hello, i have a Korean Galaxy S, Anycall SHW-m110s,
using steps I found in this forum I upgraded it to froyo firmware DI29, using odin.
The build seems to be an incomplete build and it is quite laggy and buggy. I would like to restore and revert back to the original build, android 2.1 eclair, ECLAIR.DI03, however I'm having trouble finding out how to do that.
If anyone would be so kind as to instruct me how to do this, or instruct me as to where I might be able to find out how to do this, I would be so very appreciative.
Thank you for your time.

I assume you flashed di29 with odin. To go back you would flash di03 with odin the exact same way. If you do not have the rom you can search for "M110S-NPS-IMAGE-REV03-DI03-1545-USER.tar" and I am sure you will find it on numerous sites. After flashing di03 you will likely have to go into recovery mode and wipe fs and cache.
U risk bricking ur phone if u revert to eclair from froyo.

Of course there is always a risk but I have flashed the between dg14, di03 and di29 on an shw-m110s numerous times without any issues.
From my personal experience, as long as you are only flashing the PDA portion I wouldn't worry too much.
so how do i flash bak to eclair jm1 from froyo jp6 ? i read in different posts its possible , but all those who tried bricked their phones

This thread is discussing a specific model sgs, shw-m110s. It has different hardware and firmware.
You are obviously using a different model. You should ask others who use a similar model.

Has anyone figured out how to do this yet? Is there another thread dealing with it?
I have used KIES to update my SHW-M110S to Froyo
Baseband Version
m110s.sj26.1950.st
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9
Build Number
Froyo.sk05
I would like to revert it to ECLAIR also. I'm desperate and flash doesn't work!
I hope someone will chime in in response with a link to help out.
Thanks.

[q] still no 2.2

Hi im on samsung Galaxy S vibrant from Bell.
Im sitll running 2.1 as no update has come through Kies for me for 2.2
I am using Kies 2.##.
My current firmware version is: PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1 (BMC)
If you are impatient you could download JL2 (latest official Bell upgrade) and flash with Odin.
Otherwise...make sure you have latest version of Kies, etc...never used Kies myself so I can't help you troubleshoot that a whole lot
or bite the bullet and root the phone, use some custom ROMs
It's a little scary at first, but well documented and safe/stable nowadays
Lots of good options like Darky's, Ultimate etc. I've recently been playing with Doc&Stef's RomKitchen which is stable and well documented
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Could be that you are not using a Bell ROM. JM1/2 is a European ROM. The Bell 2.1 roms were jg2 and jh2. When you boot the device does it flash a screen with "GT-I9000M "?

could you give me a complete guide for my galaxy s electrotune like i said i tried once before using odin and i had no network signal upon completion
It's all in the link I posted. First post.
Read the Instructions(Long)
is this a good method and would i be guaranteed to get signal when i am finished..
ps is it worth rooting my galaxy s and can you recommend any good custom roms if i do
There are benefits to rooting.
If you follow those directions, you will have a fully functional phone.
As far as custom roms, i have used Doc's rom kitchen. That's about it. I can recommend that to you.
do i need an unlocked phone for rooting to work
some say yes some say no.
mine came unlocked so i didnt need to worry about that. anyway try this before you root:

Do your reading! Learn as much as you can.

[Q] Canadian Gingerbread ROM ? JV1 or JVK?

I am a Bell i9000m user -- I'm using Froyo right now (JL2 modem) which uses the 850 hz band
I desperately want to go to a Gingerbread ROM.
I understand before flashing roms via CWM I need to change the bootloaders to the new Gingerbread 2.3 models
Can anyone point me to directions as to do this (I think it would have to be done via ODIN I'm assuming?)
Also, do I use JV1 or JVK ? what's the difference ?
Cheers
Use the darkys guide it helps alot... explains everything.... and. If you follow that you wont brick your phone

Darky's 10.3 or what not ?
V10 RC5.3 -- this is the one i'm looking to get . The question is do I have to load the bootloaders first ?
any chance you can point me in the right direction ?
just follow this link exactly...
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-rc5-now-much-easier.2382/
the Ficeto_JVB will take care of your bootloaders
If you cant figure out how to do this with this guide then I recommend you wait until Bell has a 2.3 update through KIES
if you don' want to use Darky's use this and then install a ROM of your choice such as StockRom, Simply Honey or cook one over at Doc's kitchen. Of course, the thread I linked you to was also prepped by a chef who has his own ROM, so lots of options, but very straight forward.

GT-P1000T

Hi all..
I just recently bought an unlocked Telstra galaxy tab..
Well..yes i am a noob..
That's why i'm asking..!!
What is this supposed to means?
PDA : P1000TDVJJ3
PHONE : P1000TDVJJ3
CSC : P1000TDVTTELJJ4
What is the connecrion of those above with the ROM's or Kernel? (i see alot of post that mentioned jj*,xx, etc..
Hope someone would be realy kind to help..
Thx in advance

Hello,
Since we are in australia and using P1000T, that is the firmware. Your firmware is JJ3.
Now, from here you can:
Stay stock (leave it at that)
Get custom Rom (overcome, etc)
If you want custom rom, look in the galaxy tab android development and follow the instructions to the letter to avoid bricking your tab.
It is normally advisable to flash your rom to roto's rom first before you get a custom rom. Roto's rom: roto jmi or roto jme, just search the development section.
I flashed 2 P1000t's straight to gingerbread with no problems... The bootloader doesn't need to be patched. Follow the instructions in the overcome thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=596770&d=1305467639 or these instructions & Links on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13781955
Just remember, You don't need to flash the modem.bin part, just untick phone in ODIN. This allows you to keep the original Telstra radio...
Cheers, and happy flashing...
Ok bloke so two questions if you can please help. What is the best way to backup the existing stock to restore back to in case i screw it. Also when you say you went straight to gingerbread, which gingerbread rom did you use that was successful.
Did you use/have you heard of the Euro Italian one that is floating around the traps?
OK, here's stock Telstra firmware and radio - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971870
Read about this on Sarsippius thread... Big thankyou, Sarsippius, for this...
You MUST have AT LEAST 50% battery or you may end up with a brick. The tab doesn't charge during the flashing process so if you have low battery it will be sucked dryt pretty quick. Flashing seems to use a bit of power...
Next, I flashed this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 , thankyou Chainfire...
You need to follow the steps EXACTLY (if you want pictures go to the overcome thread and get his flashing manual, though there a re a few files named different and he doesn't need to flash the dbdata.tar file after the 1st flash...I also flashed the CF-Root V3.2 afterwards using ODIN....
Flashed 3 times using ODIN. Now have stock gingerbread and CWM on tab...
You can use the modem.bin file from the stock rom to keep the Telstra modem...
Takes about 10 - 15 minutes , go slow, read each step and DON'T skip ahead or you will come a cropper...
Remember, you can ALWAYS flash back to stock through ODIN as long as it recognises your tab....
I then flashed the Overcome rom V2.0.0 RC1 using CWM...
Happy Flashing....
ok..
i just manage to root GT-P1000T with chainfire thingy..(can't remember the name)
i fire up root explorer..and also installed bootloader patch - as per suggestion i found in xda (it says that mine are safe)
does it realy means that i realy could flash my dev with any firmware??

You have the same Tab as I do, yes you can flash any gsm or european rom... DON'T flash the cdma roms as they are different from my understanding, could be wrong...
Look at my post above if you want to flash to gingerbread... I know that works...
