[Q][GT-i9000m] noob and other questions

Hi, I flashed my phone to gingerbread a while ago, not too sure how I did it, but I somehow managed to successfully . Anyways, It does function properly; however, I noticed when I restart the phone it calls itself a GT-i9000 when it starts. This is something that wasn't the same before, and I'm sure that has something to do with what you're about to help me with.
I don't think I changed the bootloader at all, which is what I am afraid of. I am interested in changing the phone back to factory settings, or if you guys have a suggestion on anything that is faster, I'd like to hear about that too!
Thanks, screen caps of settings available on request.
The GB package probably included GB bootloaders. They are backwards compatible with froyo roms if that is what you are reverting too.
Or you can Odin stock boot loaders or find a stock package that includes them.

I am not able to re flash back to stock because i formatted again and lost the files. As far as i read its a gingerbread version called XVJ1. Not sure if that helps out any.

My phone had the "m" in the boot screen when I bought it, after I rooted it, it was gone, but other than the "m" missing for 18 months, it's working great.
I'm on WEUI 4.04 with Semaphore 1.1.1 kernel and UGKG3 modem
I find it very fast and stable, battery life 1 to 3 days depending on useage
Hope this helps...
My hasn't had the m since the day after I bought it. You live in Canada right? If so the stock firmware you need is Ugkg3. Get it from the ramads firmware thread in general. Flash all three files under appropriate sections and voila back to stock gingerbread. If you want to upgrade your firmware, flash jw5 under pda but flash kg3 under phone and csc. Then root with semaphore 2.7.4. By flashing that under pda after the firmware upgrade. And top it off with flashing Dmore3.3 in cwm after. Great rom for gingerbread. Gl.

HELP! Recovery bootloop!

So i was testing out one of my ports which doesnt boot. I went to format data through mounts and storage, overshot and formatted my internal sd. So now, i cant boot into system, and cant put a .zip onto my phone. So i flashed semaphore with odin, then used my moms sd card to try to flash a rom from. But now it just boots into recovery. I cant find any ics roms to flash with odin. So i have to go back to stock.. I have the stock samfirmware file (I9000XXKG3-HomeBinary.tar) (<- something like that). But there is no one package option in odin. Help appreciated.
Go to:
[Firmwares]Official I9000/I9000M Firmwares collection [Latest: XWJW6, XWJW5, XXJW4]
Scroll to - Gingerbread 2.3.3 firmwares section - North America (I9000M)
I already have stock firmware, i need to know how to flash the single package
Put it in PDA section with repetition ticked and flash

It will take you all of a minute to download the three parts (comes in one file) and you get the exact instructions to ODIN flash.

Try Flashing this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671
a newer version is available @ http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
After flashing one of the roms obove, all should be fine again and you can start flashing the rom you originially wanted ;-)
I figured out my first problem, I flashed kg3 cause I forgot that my i9000 is international, not a Canadian one. (Even though I'm in Canada).
So I will flash JVU like it originally was and then flash the darky rom.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Root-Problems after Firmware Update to 2.3.6

Hey, perhaps somebody can heIp me.
Updated my Galaxy Tab 7 today from Firmware 2.3.6 (other details I don't know) to
Firmware 2.3.6
Kernel-Version 2.6.35.7
Buildnummer GINGERBREAD.BOJU3
over Samsung Kies.
The Tablet was rooted, but after i confirmed the Firmware Update the Root wasn't there anymore.
Tried to re-root the Tablet with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse & DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su_1_
but both didn't work.
Anyone got any Idea how to re-root or fix this. Got no Backup so resetting is the last option.
DooMLoRDs Tool said that he can't wright the SU File true no Write-Rights.
Superuser 3.3 is still installed and can't be uninstalled true no root rights.
SuperOneClick will not finish the Root and stops mostly on Part 7 of the procedure.
Tried to rooted with debugging and tablet on.
Thank You
maRul
Start by telling US which model is your galaxy tab 7.
There are many variants.

Try chainfire root 3.3

I used CF-Root V3.3 from chainfire. It works for me.
You must flash this via Odin in Phone slot.

Good luck

No, kernel is just the kernel it doesnt affect your installed apps.
Anyway, I wouldnt bother with stock GB, I would recommend Overcom rom if you want GB and not ICS/JB.
thanks 4 helping. Installed a new Kernel with Odin3 8.5.
System is now rooted.
Perhaps I will update to ICS or JB later.
greetings
2.3.6

[Q] Trying to bring 8.9 wifi US back to stock

Hello all, I'd like to apologize in advance if this is covered somewhere but I searched and may just be missing it.
So here's the issue. Bought galaxy tab 8.9 wifi around when it was released. Used it for a few months. Played with a few roms and kernels, got a ****ty rom combination and just lost interest in the roms (mostly because work forced me into an iphone so I had to give up my gnex).
Fast forward a year I pick up my tablet again.
Played around with it for a day and couldn't get things restored properly.
I believe it was on a stock rom but someone elses kernel when I tried all this. But OTA update wouldn't work.
So I installed CWR through odin. Installation went fine.
Then rooted the phone through CWR, again everything working properly.
Tried to flash to most current version of AOSP and tablet and it won't boot. Screen stay's black after 20 minutes.
I can get into the tablet via Odin to repair it I'm just not sure what files I need.
So what I was looking for was to bring the tablet back to stock, if possible. To start from scratch.
I have the file for stock recovery, but not a stock kernel or stock rom. I have not been able to find these for my model of device. GT-P7310MA
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. Again I apologize if this is covered somewhere else I just haven't been able to find it.
Go to sammobile.com for the stock Rom. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin, PDA. Just have auto-reboot and f.reset checked. You'll be good to go. Use Odin 1.85

[Q] [i9000] Attempted to root froyo using heimdall, stuck in d/l mode

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has already been solved, I've been reading and attempting fixes for a day now with no success.
My i9000 is on froyo. I am running Ubuntu 12.10 so obviously my options to use odin are limited.
My goal is to root it and upgrade to Jelly Bean.
After much reading (not enough?) I decided to give heimdall a shot using this TUT
and info gathered from here amongst other places.
I managed to finally get my device to show in Heimdall. I then flashed it. I think using files found in either of those places.
Now I have a semi-bricked Galaxy S which I can get it into Download mode.
This morning I grabbed my GF's Windows Netbook and installed Kies and Odin hoping to follow a more orthodox route to getting this phone to a functional state.
Kies hangs at connecting. Odin recognized the phone though it FAILED anytime I tried flashing it with stock firmware.
I can provide error messages if you need them.
At present I must restore firmware back to stock -> then root stock firmware -> then upgrade to Jelly Bean is that correct?
If it is can anyone point me in the right direction to restoring the stock firmware?
The best thing for you to do would be to search this forum for the update and root tutorial for the 2.3.6 value pack then flash 4.2.2 there should be tutorials for heimdal and Odin
