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

Stuck on Setup after TOT Restore for the Sprint LG G4
I ran into a problem after I followed the steps to restore my LG G4. Now I cant get through the setup process without it returning me to "Set Internet Connection screen". I have a video of this happening but I'm unable to post the link because I'm a new user.
It still returned me to the same screen after I connected to my home wifi and entered my google account info that I last used on there. I also have a video of this.

Ive tried restoring again and got the same result. Also, when I first ran the flash tool I got a "DBMS" window with four options. After doing some research I found out that this shouldn't be happening. So I made sure that the new MegaLock.ddll was being replaced but i still got the same window.

By pass DLL
I had the same problem and can fix it, you have to download this file and put it in the DLL option in LG Flash Tool, with TOT Sprint.

You need to download a hex editor and change the header of the tot file from the LS991 to the US991 version. When flashing use the board DL mode, not upgrade mode. Hope this helps.
Search for 991 and look for VLGLS991 and LS991ZV5_05, change it to your US991 file name. In the picture i modified it for the verizon rom I flashed. Yours will be different since you flashed the US991 version. Good Luck

Thanks, btw for those that tried this method. Is /carriers/app still in your phone? I can only find an empty /carrier directory.
EDIT: NVM, I tried inserting my non US GSM SIM and it's already being recognized. Will try if I'll have data.
EDIT2: Data is now working. I'm outside US.

For this problem you have to select the Board DL in LG Flash Tool

AFTER USE THIS METHOD MI LG has remained on a blue screen says factory reset status and puts a large 2

Hello Everyone.
I lost my phone after Installing New OJ3 Upadate.
Got My Phone Rooted.
Installed Arter 7 Beta 1.
After Trying to Delete Some Unwanted Apks From System Lost My Phone To Bootloop. So Tried to Download Software From Sam Mobile and that was Older OH4. Googled and Downloaded OJ3 And Tried to Flash Via ODIN 3.10.7 But to No Luck and It Failed.
Since Then I am Stuck at NOTE 5 Screen and No Matter What I do Cannot Get it Sorted.
Now Please Help Me And Provide Detailed HOW TO to Restore My Phone.
My Regards and Respects to All.
first of all you should know that newer samsung phones are not be downgradable to older fw.. So fw version which is installed on your device and fw newer than that can only be flashed.. And, second, what were ur steps during odin flash???
Switch to download mode then make sure latest odin and samsung usb drivers are installed on ur pc,disable keis if installed.. Then connect ur device, tick factry reset and auto reboot and untick re partition..click ap and select the downloaded firmware.. Once md5 check finished click flash..
Ur phn will reboot after flashing and you are goot to go.

I have Got No Idea If Any Other Pit File Would Work Or Not
So Still Waiting With My Bricked Phone for Samsung to Release XME OJ3 Firmware
If Anyone Knows Or Can Guide I will Be Thankful.
Regards
as an advice, you can google how to extract pit file from samsung phones..then ask in n9208 page if anyone could provide pit file for you (remember to check correct model no. and internal storage, it matters)

I do not know about the pit file being included while using Smart Switch but I would sure give that a try. I have mentioned it to others as fix but they did not seem to be able to figure out how to use it correctly so I will list the procedure out for you and you can try and see.
Put your phone in Download Mode
Open Smart Switch on your PC
Click More in Smart Switch
Click Emergency software recovery and initialization
Click the Device Initialization tab
Type in your model number using caps for any letters in your model and using the dash where appropriate
Click Search
Type in your serial number again using caps for all letters
You will see a pop up saying that it can be initialized or something like that, click OK
A new pop up will tell you which version it will be initialized to
Click OK then it will start downloading some files
Another pop up will come up telling you how to enter download mode
Connect your phone to the PC and click OK
It will download the firmware from Samsung
If you followed those steps exactly it will work unless you really do need another pit file that Smart Switch does not provide but I do not see why it would not.
Good luck

So Its A No Go
if you have an unlimited plan then give it a go, after all doing something is much better than doing nothing. Also, i think it might work..

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.

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 put up the link if anyone else needs to download the Firmware in the future. here's the link -

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:
