[Q] Where can I find PDA/Modem/CSC files?

I'm trying to install the DocRambone series on my Samsung Galaxy S, but when I get to HOWTO#1 it says:
"2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (.PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)"
Now, the .PIT file I've already found(I chose the 512 since I understand that the 513 is for older versions and 803 is for Froyo). But I don't know where to find the other things, meaning PDA, CSC and Modem? Which ones should if pick(if there is more than one) and why?
If they are on my phone already, how do I mount them in Odin?
My firmware version is
PDA: I9000XWJM2
Phone: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000NEEJM1
Thanks alot

Anyone who can help me?

Which Version Froyo? It sounds like you like to flash Froyo..
ok
You must make a Clean Stock Froyo Install.. I think u choose XXJPK take the files at the Tut..! ;D And then you can flash the "Custom Rom" via update.zip
Think thats it is what u mean..

I'm not flashing Froyo, I'm flashing for DocRomboe which is 2.1 (I think?) .. but like I said, the guide sais what I said above.. I need to find PDA, CSC and modem files, because (accordimg to the guide) Odin needs those files.. I'm following the big faq guide, so if anyone could tell me what to do, I'd appreciate it

Oh come on, I really wanna do this soon !!

Read the Docrombone thread again and see what rom it is for. Its a mod. Now go find the rom it wants, something like say JM5 or JM8? do a search and you'll see people link it. Or goto http://www.samfirmware.com/ and make a account to view the firmwares there. I have no idea what rom that mod wants since you are the one wanting to install it

If you are looking for MODEM and CSC files specifically for 2.1, you can pull the ones from Richthofen's post here
-OR-
If you want to maintain your JM1 MODEM/CSC files, like the above poster suggested, visit Samfirmware

Use this patch.

Then you can install roms with the locked bootloaders by modifying the odin files before you flash. You have to untar the files, remove a few files, them retar the files into the odin file, and flash.

[Q] Flashing for first time

Hi I bought a galaxy s from e-bay locked on T-Mobile and have unlocked it. Presently it is on Éclair 2.1-update 1, when I tried to update its firmware via kies I got, this version of the device cannot be update.
Firmware version:-
PDA: I9000XXJF4
PHONE: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000TMUJE6
So I made some home work and now I know I have to flash a new firmware via odin but I have some questions cause the more I read the more I get confused.
Where can I get the latest stock firmware for flashing?
Do I need to flash PDA, PHONE, CSC and PIT (is it the PIT512 the right PIT for this modle?).
Do I need to change the boot loader?
Do I need to save anything other than phone numbers?
Am I missing anything else or am I good to go?
Many thanks for your help.

latest firmware : www.samfirmware.com - along with tutorials
some firmwares come in 3 files (pda, phone, csc) some come in 1 file (.tar)
Only use PIT with a firmware that has all 3 files. (512PIT is most common)
no need to change boot loader
you may want to back up your apps as THEY WILL be deleted.
other than that, you are good to go

i have never used kernel flasher, nor am i familiar with the captivate so i do not want to give you false information.
i recommend you flash a kernel thru odin, but firstly check in the kernel's thread to see what the instructions are.
some kernels require different flashing methods

I dont use it too, I always flash the JPU then Speedmod and I have access to CWM, then i flashing customs , btw on samfirmware you have tutorial how to flash rom with odin,

Thanks guys

Most stock firmware available at : www.samfirmware.com . You have to keep clicking through the hyperlinks on firmware page ie: smartphone,android , phone ,country ect .as the page only loads with latest firmwares,you also need to give a valid email address and note the password for the chosen firmware.

I have downloaded it, but theres only one TAR file, shouldnt be there more than 1 file? Do I put it in the PDA filed @ odin?

no , you want back to totally stock....download from here : http://www.4shared.com/zip/66QbI9Xi/I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.html .you also need 512.pit file as well : http://www.filestube.com/15WlFrmitE0vy0J3LtR01t/ODIN-512-pit.html and check re-partition in odin also.

You can go to this site samobile and donwload youre stock rom of your regiong. Then you must use odin te make it. If you want the link i can pm you for it.

Wow. You posted this question in 3 different posts
1. Go to www.samfirmware.com
2. Register if you aren't registered yet
3. Go to the "Firmwares" page select "Smartphone" > "Android" > "GT-i9000" > Region (Europe/Asia.....) and find the version you want to install (2.2 / 2.3.x) and download it
2. Follow their guide to flashing stock rom to i9000 (available on their website on "Flashguide")
3. ???
4. Profit
Next time ask a question and wait... 3 posts for the same stuff is awesome, but not on theses forums :good: :good:
ohh and btw... flashing to stock involves you wiping ALL you data from the phone so back it up before hand

thanks..

Don't use the flash guide, put the homebinary.tar in PDA and flash away . Did it yesterday on mine about 6 times lol.
