Help - Can't find firmware! - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi everyone,
There is no firmware for my phone on the internet as far as I can tell. I don't know why the ridiculous rooting / flashing guide I used for Cyanogenmod 7 didn't tell me to backup first, I'm new to this and now I don't have a ROM that I can use to return the phone for replacement.
You see the wifi is very weak on mine and gets 0-2 (0 drops connection) bars from the router, whereas my old crappy phone and laptop get 5 bars from the same spot, also when I hold the phone the bars drop due to covering the wifi sensor or something. It's ridiculous, I need wifi.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Mini
Model: S5570XWKS3
Country: New Zealand
Product Code: GT-S5570AAAVNZ
No stock firmware exists on the internet for mine! What do I do?
And does anyone else have the issue with wifi on a samsung galaxy mini?
Also; is the firmware what I use to replace clockworkmod and then after putting that on I do a factory reset and it'll go back to stock rather than Cyanogenmod?
Thank you
Edit: Wanted to mention that check fus downoader does not work, it doesn't give me the csc or pda and mmi codes do not work.

Doesn't exist there either

Tried to find something, seems that XWKS3 is a firmware for Galaxy Ace...are you sure you got the codes right? I think that your firmware might be one of the UK ones, with multi-CSC. Then you just change the CSC with a code in the dialer.
When you flash a stock FW with Odin, everything should be stock again, including the recovery.

[Q] Why can't my phone make calls or text???

My galaxy s i9000 sometimes let me send messages and other times it doesn't, (especially when i really need it). I also sometimes can't make calls on it, i don't know if it's a problem with the phone.
I have flashed the phone like 3 times if that matters. Does anyone have this problem and what did you do to solve it.
When the phone can't call i don't get 3g symbol on the top, and also this is making internet on my phone not able to work!
Oh and by the way, the phone did not have this problem before. I am on the froyo xwjs5 firmware by using odin.
I hope someone can help.
Thanks for reading.
Change the firmware, I suggest you do download the Gingerbread one
might need a better modem
Install the correct firmware for your phone and network .

Hi what do you mean by correct firmware?
As an example Bell mobile's firmware is I9000UGKC1, so when I have problems that is the firmware I flash. So whoever your provider is, they have a firmware probably available at samfirmware.com.. download, flash and enjoy.

[Q] [GSM] Optus - Galaxy Tab Factory Restore

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

[Q] Galaxy Mini GPS not working

This is probably a very common problem but I have unusual circumstances. I have a Galaxy Mini that I bought in Thailand, I flashed CWM and installed the "Democracy" ROM and had no problems at all with the GPS. I decided to go back to the stock firmware, only problem was I didn't have it! So I went here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586) I didn't see the code that's printed on my phone's box on this page so I FOOLISHLY downloaded a European firmware (I figured it would be better to have writing in English than Thai).
Ever since I flashed that via Odin my GPS can't even find satellites even without locking on. I can only figure that this change to European firmware has changed a necessary file for the GPS. I went back to the Democracy ROM and still no GPS.
I just can't seem to find my original firmware that is printed on my phone's box (GT-S5570AABTHL), I didn't get the original PDA or CSC code (LESSON LEARNED!). The closest I can find is here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4933
I do remember when I was running original firmware it was S5570B and that is the only result under the S5570B Thailand option. I can't figure out why under "Region" it says Cyprus, Greece when it's titled Thailand.
I just don't know if simply flashing back to the Thai firmware is going to solve my problem or not, I don't even know if this is the right firmware! I would download it and try it but I'm currently on 2G speeds so it will take me 3 hours to download the file just to test it, so I was hoping for a response from this site before I put myself through the agony of the long wait.
Am I on the right path here? Any help will be severely appreciated.
Flash the original country's software i.e. from where you bought it. B'coz if you flash another country's firmware, your GPS wont work. Kies also creates problem (in updates...) in most of these cases.

Need to install Latin American modem on I8190

Hi, I bought the I8910 from German Amazon and my girlfriend brought it to Ecuador for me. Little did I know the phone doesn't pick up any 3g coverage, only edge, which means I have a glorified iPod in my hands. I've tried many things without success and I was wondering if someone here could help me put the modem from the UBAMA1 build or the whole firmware (so far I've only managed to get a Fail message on Odin when it starts installing the modem)

I'm not sure you can turn a i8190 to a i8190L just by changing modem. Maybe thats why odin fails. I don't know..just a thought.

I attempted to flash the entire rom, it's just that the error message pops up when Odin shows the modem being installed.

[Q] GT-I8190: Can't make calls, no connection to my cell phone provider

Hallo members,
I need help.
The cell phone of my daughter does not connect to the cell phone provider.
The history:
My daughter bought 6 mounts ago an Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. She made many pictures and videos , so that both memories of the phone was full. Than she made an official update vrom version 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. After some days she got problems to make a call. She cant make a call by her self, and also she cant got a call. If she tried to call, the got a notification, that the cell phone does't registred by provider. The phone was not rooted and has a stock room on those time.​
My activities to solve this problem:
I read many threads about brocken IMEI, or problems with base band, but on this phone ist the IMEI ok, also baseband.
At first I made a factory reset.
Second I rooted this phone and flashed an custom room from maclaw. But this does't solwed my problem too.
If I start this phone, I got always an notification message in the top of display, that the cell phone provider does't selected. If I try to search one provider, I see in the phone all available provider on my geo position, included my cell phone provider. This search lasts very long, about 5 minuts. After the search is finished, I try to connect to my cell phone provider, but without occur. I get a message that the connection is not possible on this moment, and I have to connect later.
At last I try to change radio from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548453&page=2, but also without success.​

go to settings - more setting - mobile networks - netmodus - choose auto modus
the go to settings - more settings - mobile networks - third point (the one under data roaming) and choose your provider.
update your baseband to the latest one XXAMJ3 (flashing with CWM or TWRP)

HI, and sorry for my late answer.
I tried to configure like your description, but it dos'n help. Thank you anyway.
What I tried to make also. I installed a rooted stock rom, and update after that to a new radio XXAMJ3, but it does'n help to solve my problem to. I can't make a call, or send a SMS anyway.
Have somebody an idea to solve this problem?
The SIM card oft this cell phone works very fine. I tested it with another phone.
Exactly I am with the same problem. There is no issue about sim card or service providers. It is all about the phone. Please tell me the solution.

You don't have warranty?
---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------
You may try others baseband versions, If none of them fix the problem it's probably hardware related.
A simple way to do that is flashing different versions of stock firmware, just make sure it's for the right variant GT-I8910 N L T
Is there a fix?
Long story short...
My son's i8190n has been rooted for over 2 years. He has a new phone and I proceeded to update to a new rom. After that I think I messed up the modem/baseband somehow. The recovery is TWRP from maclaw.pl. At some point I even managed to soft brick this phone. I was able to use Odin 3.10 to install a stock rom unrooted.
I can:
* Install any rom and/or baseband
* Leave it unrooted or rooted
* Everything seems to work fine except...
I can't:
* Register the phone to my network
Tried different SIM(s) from different providers, but still no go.
Any suggestions?
