[Q] Restore Galaxy S back to Original Android 2.1

Hi All,
I Upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to Froyo 2.2. All seems well but the performance does not seem all that great as well.
If i want to restore back to the Standard Manufacturer Firmware (i was on JG4) that comes out of the box with the I9000 what do i have to do? Any help here would be appreciated.

Download the firmware from samsung-firmwares and flash your phone with odin. There is plenty of flashing tutorials about to show you how to do it. Although if you managed to update to froyo then you properly already know how to flash it again

Hello. I managed to get the firmware from samfirmware.com for the original 2.1 (Asian version) but I couldn't get it to follow through. There would always be an error with regards to MD5 or something. What do I do? Thanks

I have the same problem as well, any helps here please?

Alot of the the DXJG4 firmware out there is corrupted.
So, try download DXJF4 from samfirmware.com (and flash with Odin with 513 pit) then uprade to DXJG4 through KIES.
NOTE: If KIES says "Device version's cannot be upgraded". Then you need to change your product code back to "XSO" (Search the forum on how to change product code.... about editing the nv_data.bin file)
My Flash history:
DXJF4-->DXJG4-->XXJPK-->DXJG4

I'm pretty new....
The firmware versions you guys are talking about are I hope, all "software" version and not real hardware chip revisions?
thanks

why dont you just flash your phone with 2.2.1 or 2.3.3(latest).....i know 2.2 is quite unstable FW but 2.2.1 will help a lots......I dont think you need to downgrade the phone back to the stock FW to solve any problem

[Q] [i9000] restoring to Stock - but which ROM?

Hi All,
I have a Galaxy S I9000 that I purchased from Optus (Australia) that I have been flashing with different ROMs quite happily. Unfortunately in my excitement I did not take note of the original versions.
I had a nightly build of CM7 on it but now that Samsung Australia have released Gingerbread I wanted to do a stock upgrade (with Kies) to try it out.
So I reverted to a stock 2.2 I got from the ezRom guide (can't post the link)
BUT, kies says that it is not updateable.
So then I tried to revert to a ROM that is supposedly an Optus one. I have flashed it to (According to KIES):
PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4 (NEE)
Or from the phone:
PDA: I9000DTJP5
PHONE: I9000DTJP3
CSC: I9000XSAJP4
Build info: 2010.11
But Kies still says "This version of the device cannot be updated."
Is it because of the CWM bootloader (v2.3?)?
Any suggestions / ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Have you tried using ODIN for flashing?

Yes indeed. I used Odin to flash the ROMs.
Thanks.

Good suggestion, and it flashed OK and works OK, but, KIES still says it cannot be updated.
Should I flash the bootloader? It is CWM.
I wonder if KIES looks for the bootloader.

Kies is a huge pile of dung. Why bother messing with the bootloader when you've already flashed what you wanted?

Several Reasons:
1) I want to see what Samsung's "Official" version of Gingerbread is like.
2) CM7 bluetooth pairing is broken. I am totally over having to go through the pairing process every damn time I get in my car.
3) I have to go back at least to 2.2 at some point as I have lost access to my External Flash card.

You should be able to grab the stock fimware from samfirmware.com and flash it with odin, no?

Hi,
I have successfully just done what you are trying to accomplish. I don't have the links to these files anymore but if you can't find them I'd be happy to make them available for you.
Firstly flash GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar as it has a boot loader.
Secondly flash GT_I9000_DTJP5_DTJP3_XSAJP4 which is the original stock.

this looks like the link for the froyo full PDA tar: http://www.multiupload.com/3FFWC68UMC
so does this work? I want to get back to stock Optus and similarly didn't take note of any original versions or do any nandroid backups. idiot!

[Q] Problems reloading stock ROM...

Apologies if this is the 23534th thread about this, had a search through and wasn't able to find a solution that I hadn't already tried.
Currently have Galaxy S with DarkyROM loaded (x2). Trying to break contract and send the phone back and need to reload the stock/factory ROM so I can send the phone off for "repair" and not get done for hacking my phone!
Have tried the Kies/Registry hacks to get Kies to do the hard work for me, but Kies just won't give me an "Update Firmware" version.
On the second phone I loaded a stock Froyo ROM via Odin which wasn't behaving properly - did a factory reset and pretty sure the phone is bricked.
Haven't been able to find a working download for a stock OPS/Optus ROM to try on the other phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys
As the title states I'm looking to update my wifes phone.
Firstly Im not sure if there is supposed to be a search for update feature like on my Sensation but i cant find one on the phone.

Many thanks

Looks like you are on Telstra??
If you are still on the stock ROM and want to stay on stock ROM just use Samsung Kies. No rooting required and does not void warranty

Hi Lexrsk
Yes its a Telstra branded phone.
It doesnt really matter if i put a custom ROM on it as work will give her a new phone if i stuff it up, no questions asked. Its just so slow at the moment.
She was set up on the cloud through work and one thing the cloud people asked her when trying to set up her email on the phone was "Is it a telstra phone?"
Im not sure if they use some sort of telstra program on the phone to assist with setting up email on her phone for use via the cloud. So i dont know if installing a new ROM could screw this up. Any ideas on this?
Thanks again

Hi Lex,
Just wanted to let you know I updated the phone using Kies. Downloads kept crashing but finally got it updated to Gingerbread from Eclair.
Phone was taking over 4mins to start up but now taking less than 50sec also working alot smoother.
Thanks again for the info. I had no idea about that software.

I've being in the same boat, but Kies tells me that my can't be updated the like the rest of the SGS's. Kies can be more of a pain at times.

I'd like to second that! There doesnt appear to be any repository containnig the stock SGS telstra branded firmware (all links I have found have expired). I lost my backup with a hard drive corruption and have been looking for this for a while. Much appreciated if you would share

If you're upgrading from 2.1 to 2.3, a new bootloader has to be flashed as well

[Q] Pls HELP!!

Hey guys i really need some help. I tried to install clockworkmod on my T-mobile samsung galaxy s (sgh-t959v) and i guess i bricked it. All that comes out on the screen is a phone and a computer. can someone pls tell me what to do to fix this and install the right way.
Thank you in advance

Fairly new to all this myself and don't have experience with T-Mobile but if you go here you should be able to get a Firmware for your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-T959V&r=5#regiona
You should be able to download a stock firmware, odin & everything else you need to flash your stock firmware. From this site.
Perhaps wait and see other responses though as there maybe a way to fix without flashing a stock firmware. Also getting some info from someone with your phone on T-Mobile may be better.

Just confirming that what scubadude said above. Flash new firmware, it is a soft-brick and therefore recoverable. Something that needs to be added however is that you will need to make a login in-order to access the direct link. If the link still doesn't work after that then click firmware and follow on from there..
