If you can get passed all the snags and bugs KIES has with connecting to your customized device, download it and use it to connect your phone to your computer and check for the latest firmware.

have you tried copy paste the password from the site, might be a space hidden some where in there.

I'm new here in terms of posting but I've been lurking for some time now. The forum has helped me out countless amounts of times. Thanks for that btw!
I've had a little search around on the forum but I can't seem to get a (laymans) answer.
I want to flash back to Orange Branded firmware on my SGS but I can't seem to find the correct one. I have a 'stock' firmware on my phone at the moment but I'd like to go back to Orange Branded (before my boss finds out I've been messing about with the mobile again haha)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Wayne
have you tried samfirmware.com ?
I have mate but I can't seem to find a Firmware for Orange UK :-(
back to orange
hello i found this site that has this program with all the firmware from different counties i checked and orange uk is in the list
go to site i will pm you the link and download the fus downloader
then open program choose phone model and region, then check firmware the download option will then come up
download and flash with odin or other flasher
thanks.
Could you share the link for all please, so others that wish to do the same can use it...
If you cant post a link just type dot in brackets or something
The website which i downloaded the program.
http://fus.nanzen.se/#GT-I9000
hope i helped
Thanks whlzibos.
It downloaded the firmware and appeared to flash it OK through Odin but then it brings up an error (Error in cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip) then it aborts.
Confusion!
Odin can be temperamental, have you tried a few times, with a couple of hours between, also possibly another computer?
Have you downloaded all files?
If you only have one, go inside that file and look for a csc folder, is there anything inside that folder? If its missing your probably missing another part
It's ok now. i've flashed the phone with Stock Firmware in the hope that Orange won't shaft me. The phone is returned and I've got a replacement now.
Hurrendous the amount of **** that comes on Orange SGS isn't it. Thank god I can hide all them crappy apps with launcherpro else I'd be fiddling with it again haha

Hi.
I have downloaded and installed by TWRP this BL file;
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261628198
That by mistake I wanted to install this other BL;
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603901376
And now it turns out that when I start I don't have IMEI. How can I solve it?
My device is a;
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F.
Android 8.
I have tried to install a 5-file ROM (BL, AP, CP, CSC AND USER DATA) and ODIN gives me FAIL. When the phone is in DOWNLOAD mode I get a red letter on the bottom that says; SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 8. BINARY: 5.
Please help!!

When I have lost IMEI before, flashing stock filmware has resolved it for me.
You are getting that error in Odin as you are trying to flash bootloader 5 over bootloader 8. You can't downgrade the bootloader version. You need to download the latest filmware.
I take it you updated your phone in the last couple of days to be on bootloader 8. Just download that same filmware and it should flash fine.

First off, did you back up your EFS folder before flashing a rom? You should always do this. If you did, try restoring the EFS with TWRP.
If that fails, flash stock filmware with Odin. The thread below gives you all the information you need to do this. At the end of post number 2, you can download Samfirm, this is an excellent program for Pc that will allow you to download the filmware much faster than a free SamMobile account or Updato.

Try flashing stock filmware then, this will usually resolve this issue. All you need to know on how to do this is in the link I posted above.

Leave it on auto, put the model number in the Model section, for region put XSG, which I believe is correct for UAE.

You can download from SamMobile, you will have to create a free account so you can download. I suggest using ADM (advanced download manager) as your internet is not good, it should let you carry on downloading if it gets interrupted.
Here is the filmware link (SamMobile is safe to use)
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/SM-N950F/XSG/download/N950FXXSADTB1/325565/
If the download in Samfirm stops at any point the download becomes corrupted, and you have to start again! So this way should be better for you (SamMobile)

Thank you, I have a free account, but this site is very annoying, just does not allow free download, like force buy, that will never happen, I WILL buy another Mobile if I have to but will never pay to download from SamMobile site. :good:

Maybe it has changed, I have not used it for a good while, you used to be able to download for free but at a very slow speed.
You could try Updato.com, but I'm not sure if it has the latest firmware.

Thank you so much again, you are a great person, I got a super site, lets you download the ROm like free ans super fast, I used Jdownloader , I could not find proper ADM most were viruses as soon as it got downloaded the Antivirus blocked it saying virus. Anyway the download speed was 15. mb plus, and it installed and my IMEI is back, again I thank you so much.

I apologise that ADV seemed to be a virus for you I won't recommend that ever again to someone. It seemed to work fine for Windows Defender...
Really glad you have fixed your issue though :highfive:
