Hey Guys,
Does anyone have a link to a flashable bell vibrant ODIN version?
Thanks!
My friend in canada messed up his phone by flashing some euro rom and we cant find the orig rom anyplace.
Thanks!
If this is useful at all, the stock bell 2.2 is in my dropbox: direct link to .tar, this one worked for me very well when I had to recover my 2.2

Don't use this file it's JK4
Hello All,
It seems Ive flashed the wrong firmware on my i9000m, the 3 button download mode stopped worked but I got a USB jig & now I can get back into download mode.
I re-partitioned & flashed all three PDA, Modem & CSC in Odin.
Before I try again i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the files I need, preferably files that wouldn't cause Samsung to question the validity of my warranty if I have to send it back in.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

here is the stock firmware list
Does anyone know what the original firmware code is for an i9000m from bell in Canada?
JL2 is that latest official Bell i9000m firmware.
This is the JL2 ROM I got from Kies when it updated my phone.

Hi Guys,
Ive searched the forum, to no avail...
I would like to flash my Apollo with FroYo, but for safety's sake im trying to find a copy of my original firmware so I can flash it back and use KIES if needed.
If I type in *#1234# I get:
PDA I5800XXJG7
Phone I5800XXJG3
CSC I5800XXJG5
Does any kind person have the relevant files handy for upload please?
Also, If I flash a new firmware should they all match the original (ie the I5800XX part).
Thanks for your help
I posted the same question a week ago. I didn't get a straight answer. I had the same firmware before i flashed to XXJPM. Your firmware is XXJG7, but I didn't find it on samfirmware. I found XWJG7, but I think that is not the same, because there is xxjpf and xwjpf - the first one being older. To update via kies when the official update comes u need an official firmware, XXJG7 is official since u got it with your phone, but u cant find it, can you? So you need any official firmware, but i don't know witch are official except XXJG7... Anyway don't bother with this, you can flash froyo without backup, i did it and nothing went wrong but be cautius and folow the steps closly and when the official update comes it will be avaliable to flash via odin. until then flash any non official froyo
I have this rom and am uploading it now its I5800XXJG3 - csc xxjg5 - phone xxjg5 - pda xxjg7 will post a link soon
here you go
megaupload.com/?d=OYHZW0WX
Thanks
I see the numbers are slightly different, does it matter?
I have also read that flashing the bootloader can cause hard-brick issues, is it better not to flash the bootloader?
i did not flash the bootloader just to be on the safe side, not sure what the cl447760 & cl460190 mean all i tell you is kies see's this as the latest firmware for my phone the uk .
i got the phone three weeks aga at the carphone warehouse it is unbranded and unlocked
Thanks again for your help. I have now upgraded mine to the standard XXJPM FroYo with ODIN. Just out of interest, is there a way I could have got the old firmware off my phone into files like you uploaded?
i think you can dd them to the sd card but not sure how to do it , i googled for ages to find my that firmware on some random site because i did not like froyo after i flashed it
ive gone back to 2.1 until i can find a fix for icons not staying on the home screen from apps installed on the sd card after a reboot. other than that i was pleased with it.
Is it possible for someone to upload stock kernel file for 2.2.1 XXJPY (kernel version is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1). Version that is flashable via odin, not cwm version.
I am about to flash my kernel with custom one, but would like to have stock kernel near me, just in case that something goes wrong...
Subquestion is:
is it even possible to reflash to stock kernel via odin once you fot custom one (speedmode to be precise)? I think i read somewhere on forum that it is not entirely possible. Does someone have any expirience with this?
Samfirmware (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm) has all stock firmwares.
Yes of course you can flash back to stock, you just need to make sure that lagfixes are disabled if you enabled one.
But honestly, I'm 100% sure you won't go back to stock after flashing a custom kernel or rom, it's just that much better.

Thank you very much.
But, as I can see, on this page there are whole roms to flash, I wanted only kernel files. Could kernel be downloaded somewhere?
I'm on stock rom 2.2.1 with CF-root kernel.
Haven't seen a stock only-kernel when I searched for it recently on this forum.
I decided now to download the full stock rom from samfirmware instead which I can go back to in case Kies won't allow me to update to Gingerbread. I figured there's no big difference whether I flash a ROM (which includes the kernel) or just the kernel, the effort is the same.
I just learned that returning to stock ROM (kernel) will be little more difficult for me because my phone is T-mobile branded!
If I flash to a stock firmware does that mean kies will then recognise my firmware as offcial so I can download new updates through it. Thanks

You can always use SpoofFW to flash to your original firmware

No as its not the firmware that came with the phone nor its Kies update .
As post above only method once you use Odin is either a backed up copy of original firmware and yes a few backed up or spoof fw .

Thanks for your help what do you mean by 'spoof' fw

Ok, this is my real problem. JJE might know solution to it...
Before i start flashing my kernel, ROM etc... I would like insurance that if in a couple of months something dies in my SGS, like speaker or something, I can go to repair shop and have guarantiee.
For that I would have to reverse all changes to virginly clean T-mobile branded ROM.
As I understand, to do that i would have to flash it via Odin with 3 files (PDA, PHONE and CSC).
Currently, when I type *#1234# in phone I get:
PDA - I9000BOJS5
PHONE - I9000XXJPY
CSC - I9000GCROJS4
so I presume that are the files version that must be flashed in Odin.
I managed to find all files except CSC code (for Croatian T-mobile 2.2.1 ROM). Couldn't find it anywhere.
Is it possible to put some Multi CSC and then later change it to right one ( I9000GCROJS4) with spooffw?
Or there is another way to find/backup/extract CSC from my current configuration.
Or another way to get back to stock branded ROM if anything goes wrong?
I can do nandroid backup because I cant get to CWM because i dont have 2e recovery (that is one of reasons I want to flash to another kernel, to get 3e and CWM).
Please help!
I am currently running on stock JPM. I want to try out JPQ. Can i flash over JPM or do i need to flash back to eclair and then flash? I used to have DDJG5, but that is not available on samfirmware.com.
If I need to come back to eclair, can I flash DDJG6?
Please help out.
Yes you can flash jpq directly and if you want to revert to eclair you can flash Ddjg6..
Remember to delete boot.bin and sbl.bin from jpq before flashing and a data wipe would be good in order to avoid unwanted problems ...
I just flashed jpq and I think I am stuck in a boot loop. How to know exactly if I am stuck in a boot loop?
How do I correct this?
Solved...
Flashed to JG6 and then flashed to JPQ with sim card and memory card removed.
can you guys help me what is this JPM and JPQ as i m noob..
and how can i found what i have..?
Hi,
You will find JPM and JPQ at http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm
Their full title would be I5800XXJPM AND I5800XXJPQ. An explanation of what the letters mean is found on samfirmware at the link I have given you. Registration is free.
To find out what you have got go to Applications - Settings - About Phone, and look at your Firmware version and Baseband version.

Basically JPM and JPQ are froyo firmware for our Galaxy 3. These firmwares are European firmwares.
If samsung has not released an update for froyo in your region then you may flash any of these above firmwares onto your phone. There are lots of theads regarding Flashing in this forum.
Keep in mind that flashing a firmware other than that which has been released in your region will void your warrenty.(Well you can always flash back to the old firmware i.e eclair).
You can get these firmwares from www.samfirmware.com or try this thread below
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940".
Go through this thread... Kinda useful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583.
To check your current firmware... goto settings-->about phone.
Check your Build there.
Hope i've helped. Hit Thanks, if u are satisfied.
