Original firmware?

I bought a Samsung GT-I5800 without simlock. I flashed an Android 2.2 ROM, but now I want to go back to the original 2.1 to be able to update using Kies. What firmware do I have to download for this? I forgot to write down the original firmware version. Thanks in advance!

u cant downgrade via kies...! :-/
Look fr stock SG3 eclair rom at samfirmware..

I did, but none were accepted by Kies. I think it's because every CSC-version is different from the original one. I need I5800XENJH1, but I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know where to find it?

You need to find someone who has it and then ask for backup

You should flash your original firmware by using ODIN, not KIES. Go to samfirmware, and find firmware appropriate for your region and/or provider, and then flash it with ODIN.

How can i backup my original firmware? Is there an application for this? Thank you!

[help]!!! Help the newbie here!!

Hi everyone, i encounter a problem earlier. Basically i rooted my phone days ago and i m still using stock rom without flashing custom roms. So i eager to try out the mod from Omega thread and install the Omega file from google play. After downloaded the mod (for omega rom) of scrolling wallpaper for TW and i flashed it. Booting up my phone with TW not responding, force close. Try again and again still cant boot into menu. I know i m stupid that didn't do a NAND backup before flashing it, and now i m stuck at this force close thing. So i found out out there there is a stock official rom XXUBMEA, i was previously from XXUAME2, can i flash this rom with odin?What is the complete process i need to do to flash this stock rom? Appreciate that you can help me so i can get back my phone!!

Thousand thanks bro. Last question, will the flashing of this stock rom reset all my setting including the message, contact number and etc and finally roll back to unroot?

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

Singapore I9505XXUBMEA firmware is out today. I'm also using the Germany version currently.

[Q] How do I unroot and restore to official firmware?

I got my galaxy s4 through T-mobile UK. however it seems to be unlocked and unbranded. I cannot confirm its unlocked as I've never tried another sim card in it - but I see no branding and everything suggests it is unbranded.
In the about phone section of the settings it says my baseband is i9505XXUDMH6 but I cannot find a firmware that matches this anywhere! Also, kies won't work with my phone I guess because its got a custom ROM on it and its rooted so there isn't really any way I know of to find out more and the modem and PDA etc..
I have no idea what firmware I need to be looking for? The unbranded UK one off sam mobile is taking 8 hours to download and has stopped halfway through twice now
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate forum to ask this question!

I have exactly the same problem with my firmware on Sammobile, never completes the download. A 1.6 Gb filesize for Android firmware is obscene enough to begin with, but not being able to complete the download is driving me mental!

I've seen that guide before but the firmware it tells me to download is just generic firmware. Will that work with my phone in the UK on my network? :S Also why does that guide have pit files attached? I don't see any mention in the instructions of using them?
If I follow that guide will be phone be back to stock and receive OTA updates again?

Okay, I've been downloading that file for the past hour now luckily! So when (if) this downloads. I can follow that same guide you've linked just using the file I've downloaded in place of the one it provides?
I'm still a little bit confused about those PIT files - I see it changes how the storage on the device is partitioned. Do I want to do that? :S

1) Are you on 4g network?
2) If you are rooted, try editing this file /data/property/persist.radio.lteon file, set the content to "true" .
3) No it will not brick your phone if you update it to Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/VNZ/N9005XXUDMJ7, you are currently on MJ7. Why dont you just update it to KK?
4) If you want to update it to KK, you might want to backup your EFS first. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342

If you are rooted, then saving the EFS is highly recommended. If you want to update your phone but somewhere along the line you bricked it, im not responsible for all that you do. Please do more research before you try to flash the rom. And again, if you are rooted, you will not receive ota update via the phones, but you can update it via PC/Odin method if you want to.

Nope, just upgrade it normally.

Mate, you should be able to use your Aussie rom on it over in New Zealand. You might need their VPN settings for mobile internet but you shouldn't need to flash a new rom... For instance, I'm using a UK rom on my Aussie note 3 her in Oz.... I've used Polish and German too with no problem.
Most guys on the service desk know jack about this sort of stuff and might have been angling to sell you a new phone...
What's the point of having a phone to use all over the world if it doesn't work, especially in a next door neighbour country like New Zealand...

To backup efs nd imei, I would suggest use dr. Ketan one.
It is easier just install his apk, then run the backup. It will backup the 3 important partition.

N910TUVS2EQE2 Firmware & Modem!

I made these ODIN Flashable Firmware and Modem files for myself. And figured I'd share them here for anyone wanting to upgrade their phone without having to download the entire ROM!
**** Warning!!! FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! XDA or I am not Responsible for ANY Destruction!! ****
Install Directions:
The procedure I use to install these is, In Odin Untick 'AutoReboot', then load Modem file into AP slot, Flash! When complete, Pull battery for 5 sec. Then REBOOT into Download Mode Again.
Then in Odin, load Firmware file into AP slot, Flash! When Complete, REBOOT!
Done!
N910T ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910TUVS2EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910TUVS2EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
N910T3 ONLY!!
Firmware/Bootloader:
Firmware-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Firmware.tar.md5
Modem/Baseband:
Modem-N910T3UVS3EQE2-Modem.tar.md5
Enjoy!!

They are for t or t3?
Thanks
Edit. I think they are for t only. Could you upload for t3 or explain which files to use? Can I just extract from official fimware and flash the .bin in odin? If yes, which files should I extract?

Im a little unsure about your question, so ill try to answer best I can.
Yes this can be flashed with any rom, rom doesnt matter, this is flashed in Odin! It updates your Bootloader and Modem! BUT you must pay attention to what your ROM states. Some ROMS dont work Good with certain Firmware.
About the baseband, This would update it.
Since Im new to the N910T model, Im unsure about the downgrade procedure. So You might want to check that your model can be downgraded back to DOK2 once you update. Just in case your rom dont play nice with new Firmware!!
Hope this answered your question! I added install directions to OP

Hi Guys,
I have used my T-mobile Note 4 for years since it came out. I have replace the batteries once, but like a month ago when there was an update my phone keep restarting and turning off. I then had to get another phone because of that I still cant get it to restart even after I bought a new battery, updated the firmware. can some one guide me the right way to do this right. I think I am not doing the flashing the right way.. with oldin, and the correct firmware. after I do that I get this installing updates andriod show and it stops and reboots again. please help. thanks

I would highly recommend you start a new thread for this, there are many reasons why a phone could be doing this and you need
to provide more information, like what happened before the phone was restarted, did you have a stock rom or a custom rom, were you trying to flash anything when it started restating, were you rooted, can you boot into recovery or download mode...all these things factor but like I said I would definitively start a new thread because your hijacking someone Else's and it has nothing to do with the topic.

Yes bud, you'd get better responses making your own post in question area. As I'm not on here a lot. And only people visiting this thread are few to download this link. I just seen your post.
But since I am here I'll try my best to answer you.
Judging by your post, I'm gonna assume your were on pure stock and took an Ota that went bad? Correct?
2. If you used Odin, and noticed you didn't mention getting errors.
So it leads me to ask are you using this firmware here, because this isn't the complete rom. And that's what you want!
Let me know if this is correct? Plus explain more detail? Model T or T3? Last update you were on and file you tried flashing?
And I'll help you get correct file and such.

EQE2 Modem only on DOK2 base 5.1.1 Rom?
Anyone flash just the Modem as per my title over top a Lollipop build and get any better reception or otherwise results or is this a big no go?

There are new firmware and modem QG1, hope they can be uploaded.-

Thanks, but I think those files are only for T1 variant.

Think u' re wrong, you've said to flash bootloader in AP slot (i knew in BL). Modem baseband is CP. AP is for recovery.
