[Q] HELP Flashing Firmware, Confused

Hello Im wondering if anyone can help me, I brought a Samsung Galaxy S today that was locked to t-mobile, I have successfully unlocked it using 'Generate unlock windows' but it has t-mobile firmware on it and loads of crap making it slower and some times unable to install apps on the market, Can anyone help me or guide me to a guide to flash to normal non t-mobile 2.1 firmware please..
In reg-edit it says my phone is: GT-I9000HKDTMU
but on my phone it is: I9000BOJG3

Install a custom rom like darky's rom it will get rid of all t-mobile crap and will install custom startup screen like the nexes one bootup

Go on darkys 9.2 resurrection . Got a video tut. I flashed that first time and it went well.

unlocking samsung galaxy from verizon
i tried and with the htc droid i did it but with the galaxy icant see if someone out there can thanks

There's an easy way
I just unlocked my galaxy s thanks to "galaxy s unlock" app found in the market.
It was easy and fast, also well explained. It doesn't even require any code, just a reboot. I had to reboot manually in order to access the phone after the automatic reboot and didn't have any problem to use an orange sim card 2 minutes after completion.
I am on I9000 froyo 2.2.1 (bought 2.1 10 days ago).
My phone was locked on bouygues telecom (french network).
Hope it works for you !

Unable to unlock at alll
Hi.. I tried unlocking using Generate Unlock Windows. But it always threw nv_data.bin not found error.
Then i saw this thread and tried with 2 apps on the market:
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Froyo
but with both I was asked to root. I tried installing root through 'Update.zip' but it threw "update.zip e:signature varification failed" error
I am totally struck. Please help!!!!

Did you read the post#6 at all? Try reading again. You can not use update.zip files with 3e recovery. You need to be rooted to use these tools. So, again, try reading the link posted in post#6 again.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND HELROZ IS A GOD!!!
This totally worked for my Bell Samsung Vibrant GT-i9000M rooted with Superuser (from App store).
If anyone wants the official Bell unlock code it's 09182086, BUT it never worked for me even after 3 days of talking to customer service (over 6 hrs) and going to a Bell store. The number was verified 4 times by Bell.
One of the tech guys even gave me another code 62189513 but it also obviously didn't work for me, but it might for you.
If none of the codes work then use the app developed by Helroz and give him a donation as Bell and their $75 dollar unlock fee can kiss my [email protected]@.
Specs:
Bell Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant GT-i9000M
Firmware version: 2.2

Hi,
I have a question regarding my current Android Version and whether I can install CM 10.0 or not.
PDA: I9000POJV7
Phone: I9000XXJVO
CSC: I9000BOGJV3
Firmware 2.3.3
Baseband I9000XXJVO
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL182937
[email protected]#2
Build number: Gingerbread.POJV7
I have CWM installed, at least I have an app called CWM Manager v1.50 those this autmatically mean that I have root?
In the CWM Manager app it says "Current kernel: CF-Root 3.2" so i assume it is rooted right?
The reason why I ask is that this phone is from France even though I am from Germany, so it has this software branding of "Bouygues Telecom".
Can this lead to any problems?
Can I directly install CM 10.0 without installing 2.3.6?

Hi, I have japan galaxy S ( SC-02B).
To unlock this we need to put this from dial pad *7465625*638*# and a menu pops up to enter MNC/NCC code and secret code. After entering MNC/NCC of your network it will successfully lock to new network and you can use SIM card of that network. That method works for any network and phone use to remember the entered code, so you dont have to enter code everytime, just once is enough.
Recently i moved to cyanogenmod 10.1 with modem binary of sc-02b flashed.
Now i dont see any network and at every reboot it asks for SIM network unlock code.
Can anyone help unlocking or where to find this sim network unlock code.

(yet another!) no signal after unlocking sga gt-s5830

Hello
From what ive seen on here and other forums this is a very common problem with no real solution!?!
Am thinking that theres no fix but thought id ask before i give up so here goes!!
I have a samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830 which was originally on o2 uk that i wanted to use on vodafone uk
I managed to root the phone and get the unlock code from the phone via the bml5.img and the XVI32 Hex Editor
I then unrooted the phone put in the new sim and entered the unlock code
The phone now says vodafone uk on the lock screen but doesnt have any signal!?!
It still has an imei and baseband number and ive checked that the imei number isnt blocked
Ive also checked that all locks are off via samsung code *#7465625#
I have flashed the firmware to UK Gingerbread 2.3.6. using odin 4.38 and a one package tar.md5 file, wiped caches and rebooted etc
but the problem still remains!?!?!
Other than the no signal problem the phone works perfect and also when i take the sim card out theres signal?!?!
One other thing When ever i reboot the phone /system/csc/o2u/system cant be found although ive read this has nothing to do with the signal problem?!?
If anyone has any ideas or needs any further info then please let me know
I am new (probably pretty obviously!) to all this so please keep replys as simple as pos!!!
Many thanks
Matt

hi matt first of all..
1. did you try another firmware?
2. you follow correctly the method to flash firmwares on odin?
seems to me that your download was corrupted, or you didn't flash properly on odin.

Its not a good thing to touch the bml5 partiton wich contains our imei ... even tough u unlocked it successfully you may have made some files corrupted wich can cause that ...
A major way to know this is ... does your previous sim aquire network?
And just to inform the error message is really not relevant ... csc function is to "inform kies" so it can do update your android version to the rom of your Country/Carrier.

Hello and thanks for both your replys
Firstly to answer matias.s
These are the instructions i followed to flash the fw
Flashing the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Firmware
1/. Enter Download mode by pressing and holding Volume down, select and power button simultaneously
2/. Connect phone to computer and open the Odin Multi Downloader v4.38 (it should show the com port it is connected on)
3/. For OPS, browse and select Cooper_v1.0
4/. For One Package, select the MD5 flash file attached and click start. (The attached firmware is for UK Gingerbread
2.3.6. You may use any firmware at this stage)
5/. Enter Diagnostic mode by pressing and holding select and power button simultaneously and clear caches
6/. Root the Samsung Galaxy Ace using the root.zip update
7/. Download, install and Open Root Explorer (File Manager) from Android Market
8/. Add Directory csc/system/XEU/system and move files over from CSC/system
9/. Enter Diagnostic mode again by pressing and holding select and power button simultaneously and clear caches
10/. Unroot the Samsung Galaxy Ace using the unroot.zip update
11/. Enter Diagnostic mode once again by pressing and holding select and power button simultaneously and clear caches
Odin came up with pass at the end
The only instruction i didnt follow exactly was 8
Firstly it wouldnt let me create the folder and then when i went into my directory there was already a /system/csc/XEU/system which had files
Could this be the problem?!?
And to answer snowpluralism
The sim im using works fine in other devices and as i said in the op the phone even has signal until a sim is inserted!?!
Update...
I flashed the fw again with a vodafone one package md5 via odin Odin passed the download and the phone is now branded with vodafone logo and apps
It is now on android version 2.3.5 build number gingerbread.buks but still has no signal
One strange thing when i first turned the phone on after the download it updated and downloaded vodafone apps and in the phone status said it was connected under mobile network state even though it still had no signal?!?
Thanks again for your replys and any ideas again please let me know!!
And thanks to snowpluralism for explaining about the csc error That explains why kies cant update my fw!!

[Q] Can I install a stock Samsung rom on my O2 (network) Samsung Ace?

Hi all. Please excuse me if this has been asked before, this forum is daunting for me and it's hard to find the required info I need. Basically, my brother forwarded me to a thread which explains the process of rooting my phone and installing a custom rom. That thread still exists and that's fine so I know where to look on how to root and install a rom.
My question though is about the installation of a Samsung factory rom. I bought my phone through a network provider, O2 Ireland, and as such, it comes preinstalled with some O2 apps that I don't use or need as well as a O2 boot screen. I would like to setup my phone to work as if it came out of the Samsung factory without any network provider rom so can I install a Samsung factory rom over my O2-based rom or will it brick my phone? Also, I know that the place to go to get roms is samfirmware.com but the roms I found there have a carrier associated with them. The roms I found were either for Ireland, eMobile or Meteor and for UK, Orange. I want a stock Samsung rom so anyone know where I can get this?
Thank you for your time and I apologise again if this has been asked before.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-S5830&pcode=XEU#firmware
I think it's de official rom without carrier's modification, so yes you can flash it via Odin but first of all are you device unlocked? and Have you got the S5830 model? It's very important!

Thanks . I was planning on installing the stock rom through CWM Recovery after rooting my phone first ofcourse so is this ok or is it a must that I do it through Odin? Yes, I unlocked my phone so it works with any network now. Yep, I have the S5830 model.

[Q] Where could I find a GT-I9000T rom without network lock screen?

Hi
first, I had rooted my device with a update zip after fixed recovery mode that I found here on xda, and installed busybox, galaxsim unlock app, titanium back up and so on.
I did these on a stock rom android 2.1 update of claro provider but when I tried to use a different company sim, the screen with a padlock appeared.
Second, I flashed with odin the rom after I had downloaded 3 Buttons fix RazvanG, I installed firmware 2.3.3 with base band I9000TUBJV8, and 2.6.35.7-I9000TUBJV8-CL251862 kernel, also I rooted with super one click tool that I found here on xda, and I installed busybox, galaxsim unlock app etc.
but nothing happened I got the padlock or network lock despite the fact the app says the network lock is OFF .
At the end also almost brick my device when I flashed just a bootloader.
The device still works just with claro provider.
Finally I really want to know Where could I find a GT-I9000T rom without network lock screen a good kernel, and modem, that I could root it?
Thank you for your time I really appreciate it.

These are the ROM's released by Samsung for i9000T based on regions, your main issue would be the modem that connects to claro or the network you want, meaning you can use an i9000 or i9000T 2.3.6 ROM and flash the modem for your region and it should work for you, unless you have a contract phone that is bootloader locked.
look here for guide, you can try ( at your own risk) flashing i9000 bootloader with i9000 ROM with i9000T modem ( you must have back up to restore, if it fails ) to get back to your stock again. EFS Backup is a must have before flashing , look here for guide
Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries ​

Thank you, I can use other sim.
Well, what I have done:
1. I tried to use other rom from your first link for gt-i9000t 2.3.6 but just change the company's logo. I think, I had a a contract phone.
2. I used odin to install a rom from the same site for GT-I9000 2.3.6 (OPS-I9000XWJW6-20120430154616 certainly I just tried with this rom)and the modem from my last Rom the MODEM_I9000TUBJV8_CP_PHONE_CL1006697.tar. And there is, the device is working fine, It did not give the screen with padlock.
Thank you.
