[Q] URGENT need rom GT-S5839i please

Hello, Sorry for my English I'm french.
I've bricked my GT-S5869i but I don't have rom to flash with odin can you upload a rom for this device please it's urgent, Monday I have a school trip at 5 am.
try to ask in sammobile forum as thats where all sammy rom is posted, maybe u'll have better luck there.
the GT-S5839i is a rare i assume, googling for it doesnt bring any info at all :/
If you mean s5830i
Go here:SamFirmware and select your region, then choose the latest rom.
Choose your rom and flash with ODIN.
What is this gt-s5839i I have never heard of it?!
I assume you mean the GT-S5830i
Have a look here: Download Mode is Vol + Vol - with Power on your Device I believe, flash this through Odin 4.42: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156022526/079fb77/S5830IXXLB2_S5830IITVLB2_ITV.zip.html

ah in that case my post was right
Edited my original post. does 0 really look like 9 ??
i think he typed that correctly, it really is s5839i. maybe its just another variant of s5830i.
heres a thread where someone asked howto network unlock the said model number
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661031
and the unlocking tool used, the galaxy toolbox app really listed s5839i as one of supported with proven tested and working device

Your going to have to take it to a service centre(say kies crashed when updating) Your phone model is really rare.
Looks like you wont have it for monday
Whats the specs of the s5839i?
Good morning. I had the same problem with this mobile phone gt-s5839i. It is not a typo I own this device and I succeeded rooting and flashing it. The only ROM I found was from Poland(Tmobile and Orange) and it works! Here you can find the ROMS : (I cannot post the URL but you find it at tsar3000 site)And I noticed now that a Spanish rom popped up! goog for you! You can flash it with Odin 1.83. It works!!! Good luck

[Q] Rooting and upgrading to Jelly Bean

Hello,
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I am not good at this and very nervous of doing something wrong and destroying my mobile... If you could please help me?!
My Galaxy S is:
Frimware version
2.3.3
Baseband version
I9000BWJV2
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813*[email protected]*#2
Build nr
Gingerbread.xwjvh
The mobile is very very slow and very difficult to use because of this. I have seen that I can root the mobile and upgrade it to Jelly Bean, and hopefully my problems will be resolved...
I am just not sure what kind of programme I should download to root it... also I'm very nervous about in what steps I need to go about to upgrading to Jelly Bean and what I need to download and in what order to do this.
I'm not sure what I download to my laptop's desktop and what I need on my mobile itself...
If you could help me with a step by step guide I would be eternally grateful.
Many Many Thanks
Wishing you all Happy Holidays.

Hi I did search, but didn't find what you just sent me, just other threads that didn't seem to fit what I wanted to do.
Sorry for bothering you, I can only say I never done anything like this before, and am not skilled at this. Being an older person, I can't believe I'm even going try this on my own...
Many Thanks and wish me good luck.

I hope you can help me or I don't know what to do.... what do I do help.

Is it normal for it to take over an hour for this??
Solved the problem with some thinking and restored the settings and re-did things and now the ROM is installing... so I think it is all going well!
I have beeen waiting for Select cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip this to finish, and it has been going on for an hour now, is this normal??

Bricking an i9000 is rare, unless you flash firmware for a different phone or pull the cable halfway.

Basically what you're doing is flashing the newest GB firmware for your phone using Odin and then rooting it, also using Odin. After that you have access to " recovery mode", from which you simply choose a zip file with your ICS or JB ROM and flash it.
If your phone is normally working now, I suggest you retry. This process is fairly simple, given you follow all the steps.
Edit: wait, looks like you have a Brazilian i9000.
Since you're using a Brazilian I9000B, disregard what i wrote above, most ROMs aren't compatible, read this

[Q] Galaxy S loosing signal

Hi guys, my girlfriend have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000, but in randomly loosing signal. Sometimes you see the signal icon coming and going at will.
She take it to a service center and they say the motherboard was damage, but it was a non authorized center.
My question is: could be any chance to fix this by software (flashing a firmware, etc)?.
Thanks, I will try anything.
Hi,
what version of android do you have? stock-rom (2.3.x) or another mod ...???
Maybe flashing a new modem could help, but only it is no hardware-damage ....
Is the fault since the begin you have the device or does it come actually or after flashing new android-version?

It came with 2.3.3 and start failing a few months later, then I try Cyanogen Mod 7 and keep failing so I flash 2.3.6 Samsung official, still fails.
How could I flash a new modem?, where I can get them?
But with the version before 2.3.3 it was okay ???
