Hello members of XDA,
Is there a place where I can download all of the android firmware files, esp. the UK ones? I want to keep them as not to bother people here later on. I have looked on the web, and searched this forum to no avail. The only official firmware file I have is RC7.
One more tiny question. Could you explain the firmware number system? Its really weird with RC29 and RC7 being on the same level, then having CRB files.
Thanks for reading,
Keemy
I have read the thread about how to get this function enabled on my device. There was a list of countries listed but unfortunately did not include New Zealand. The thread I'm talking about is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201&page=13, post number 124. My CSC is I9000VNZJH2 which is not listed on there.
I would like to root my phone, but don't want to go ahead with it until the 3 button recovery/download is enabled. Could anyone suggest as to what CSC I should use please?
Once rooted I would like to get the latest/best current firmware, as mine is out of date. Any suggestions which I should use and where I can download it from?
Any other tips are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance. :>
this topic might give you some ideas / solutions

Hey AllGamer, thanks for the suggestion. Yeah I saw that thread previously. It's more talking about how to fix semi bricked phone. I actually don't want to risk getting to that point. Would be nice to be able to have the recovery enabled. I'm wondering if I can use the Australian version maybe. Such a bummer that NZ is a small market for Samsung to worry about their customers over here, which automatically cuts your choices. hehe
I'd suggest PM'ing richthofen and asking if he has a CSC for NZ available. He mentioned in his JM9 thread that he has access to 'most' firmwares.
That said, I flashed with the post #1 method from PDA: JG4 and had no issues with that fix.
When I flashed up to JM9 I couldn't find a HK CSC from his posts either, but found a JH1 firmware from HK which included one on samfirmwares. If you can find a NZ leaked firmware somewhere that has PDA/MODEM/CSC separated files you can probably just nab the CSC from that and use it.
Thanks for the reply. I will flick richthofen a pm and see what his suggestions might be. :>
Let me know how you go with this, as I'm in NZ, and have same firmware as you.
Thanks

Yeah I ran into a smiler issue, I'm in aus but I picked my phone up before it came out here from a HK warehouse, it's unbranded, and as far as I know an international version, I've yet to hear back from Richthofen, as I pm'd him with a similar question but with csc I90000ZSJH1 in place of the nz one. I was wondering if since it's an international version, it could pretty much take any of the unbranded firmwares? or as it's a JH1, which is fairly new if I could just do the fix on it's own as per original method? I'm desperate to play around with roms and lag fixes but won't do it until I have the 3 button recovery option set up.
What was your experience with a HK I9000? I'd like to confirm how you did it (in more detail) so I could do the same. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this so any help would be very appreciated.
To a fellow kiwi, Richthofen said to use the method desplayed on the first page of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201, as it's most up to date one, and it should work. I will attempt it at some point on the weekend. Will report once done.
Well, I used the method on the first page, just flashing the pbl/sbl. Exactly as it is there.
However, I was flashing from an Australian Firmware/csc (JG4). I bricked my HK phone two months ago trying to flash up to JH1 and sent it to Australia to get it serviced. (Wasn't released in Japan yet, and Samsung HK didn't want to deal with me at all).
That said, if you want to use the flashing a full firmware method (and when you do have to flash a full firmware later) just use the JH1 CSC (On samfirmwares under Asian firmwares). Haven't had any issues with that CSC on JM9 PDA.
I decided not to go ahead with the enabling. The phone needed to rooted in order to use those instructions. The phone is still under warranty, so I'm going to request for the 3 button recovery/download mode to be enabled. Plus I have some weird errors when taking photos, might be just a corrupt external SD card. But I'd rather take it back to Samsung and let them fix it while still under warranty. :>
hi every one
i just downloaded il orange rom 2.3.3 from sammobile i tried million times to flash it with odin , odin every time says pass but the i9000 just still booting .
i tried to remove the battery , to use pit file with the rom , to flash with defferent odin versions but it still the same , odin says pass but the phone booting all the time .
the rom is a tar file .
( every else rom "not tar file" working fine , but i need to flash the original rom )
any body can help me please ?
Download this guide. It is a direct link from the sammobile site.
How long are you waiting for the phone to start up. If you aren't waiting up to 30mins it is not long enough.
You should receive all the files required within the .zip file you downloaded from sammobile.com. If it was a single .tar file put it in PDA, if it is .pit file as well use that as well.
Does that help?
thank you , but i waited more than 30 min until the phone had become very hot then i feared to broke it .
it's a single tar file , should i use pit file with it ?
( in the guide samsung explains how to flash with non single file rom )
If the pit file came with the package then yes use it!
Can you give me a link to the rom you downloaded, and a link to the page you saw the list of firmwares for you.
What rom were you using before?
Also copy and paste what is says when you finish flashing, a screenshot would probably be better.
And lastly have you tried another computer?

3. i tried another original roms like cellcom rom its the same , but another roms like 2.3.6 and ics working just fine only the roms from sammobile do this to me .
4. i don't know how to take screen shoot of the mobile.

Make sure re-partition was ticked when you use the pit file.
Is there any reason you need a stock rom??
Ok it could be a bug with that FW somehow, try the links here
If the link is not there or after you try and flash the above rom and you still want to install the FW from sammobile then try after using the most similar firmwares above.
Finally if all that still doesn't work then download and install this.
Hopefully after installing that you can install the original. Or just stay with one of the other original roms above. I don't think having a carrier version of the rom is that important, but you know better than me because I assume it is important in your country.
If you do decide to stick with any of the firmware above then make sure you type in *#262*your imei# and select your correct csc code (3 letter code). Changing the selected code will reboot and factory reset your phone!

first of all thanks to you for helping me
second : i need afirmware with arabic , hebrew & english interface build in - only the il original one have this .
third : there is 3 providers in israel cellcom pelephone & orange , orange have a special band not like the others & this is the provider i use .
4. all the non original roms and ics's have too much problems , like radio dosn't work , low signal , market unfotunetly stoped , Restarts suddenly.
If you have a special band are you sure you have the i9000?? Is it another version of i9000 like i9000T or something. Check your box or the back of your phone after taking out the battery.
Again have you checked the firmware here it is the original firmware. It has JV9 firmware and therefore probably has your languages.. and once the correct csc is in and your APN is correct all should be fine.
This is all assuming that your phone is actually gt-i9000 not another variant.
Also the links i provide are generally quite stable and so have little or no bugs. For example this is known to be quite stable. However i am not sure about the languages..
Just found this link click by searching for the firmware name in google
And then if that doesn't work then you are not meant to have that update. Use the link for the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile, it is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and apn attach it to your computer with Kies and it will update to the latest.

Above link is a thread on xda, that has stock firmware... find one you want the same one if you can...
http://samsung-updates.com/gt-i9000-samsung-galaxy-s/
Is a link to list that has same firmware you are trying to use from sammobile.
The reason i am giving you these links is because the files that you downloaded from sammobile.com may be corrupted. These are alternative links of the SAME firmware but different files.
Finally if these do not work and you have the same outcome that the phone does not boot. Then download and install the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile.com. It is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and APN connect your phone to your PC. Use Samsung Kies to update your phone.

i thing you are not understanding me , the proccess of flashing the phone completes just fine and the phone start booting but it still booting ( the booting animation working fine ) it get not into the system .
i think the problem is the single tar file because all the roms with three files and icses working fine .
if there is a way to un.tar the file and made from it 3 md5 files to flash with odin maybe it will works.

Hi to all!!
This is my first post in XDA. I would like to ask someone how to change my product code from XEU to ATL (as i need to send the phone to the sat). I've tried:
- Searching stock ROMS vodafone original (ATL in spain) in 3 files (only found updates).
- Tried out Fus downloader, but this app downloads only the PDA (not phone nor csc file).
- Tried out an app called SpoofFW, but doesn't work for me.
- Tried to find out the corresponding files to manually add them with root explorer.
How to change the product code to ATL? Any other way?

use My Android Collections > ROMS > Firmware archive for ATL stock ROM
Problem solved!
Downloaded a one-file tar archive through check fus downloader. The thing is that i din't know what to do with it, until I realised I should extract the whole file and then, pack them in the three-file-system required to flashing in Odin.
I will upload tha package to xda
By the way, thank you for your help. Would yo like to add my link to your list?

All the ATL vodofone ROM files are already available at a number of web sites and from the link I gave your earlier
Hi Guys,
I installed the latest BTU version, which is OXM as I understood.
I used the CSC file, to install it as clean as possible. not sure if it's the correct term.
SD card and SIM card were removed.
What I see in setting are the previous CSC configurations. Nothing was changed to BTU.
So I tried to search how to solve is, and it seems like Combination file was the way to go, so
I found this one :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-950f-t3765037
I installed it and put the code as instructed but there were no CSC options when I entered the code.
I figured that happened because it looks like this combination file is for Android 7.0
Will a proper Oreo 8.0 combination file help me to change the CSC or am I doomed?
I would really appreciate it if you could post a download link for such a file or another proper solution.
Thank you.
Please check
Very nice thread
There are no oreo 8.0 combo files. everything is nougat. they have no need to put out oreo combo files.
