Need "original" Bell firmware for Odin

So, I have confirmed that the "sdcard" in my SGS is dead. Bell is happy to send it in for repair, but don't have an original Bell firmware on the phone anymore, and I'm concerned about warranty support.
The phone is unable to boot, so I can't use the Kies app at all.
I am able to flash no problem using Odin, but I don't have a source for an original Bell 2.1 ROM to use with Odin. All the stuff I can find has strange filenames (things that don't obviously go into the blanks in Odin).
I'm a relative noob (obviously), but if someone would give me a hand getting a 2.1 Bell FW flashed, I would really appreciate it.

go to sams firmware and download JH2
that's the original stock ROM for Bell

hey!
I am in need of these files too.
Could someone instruct this noobie on how to obtain these files?
My phone randomly softbricked after i listed to the music and i lost my recovery mode along with it (however, i got download still yay!)
I am somewhat familiar with Odin due to the youtube video and tampering with it, but i cant seem to locate the Bell vibrant files i need.
My computer is already updated with samsung drivers and is basically ready to go.

Updating the Galaxy Tab to the latest firmware !

Hey guys
I'm running the P1000JXJJ1, FroYo JPJJ2 firmware on my Tab, and samfirmware states P1000JVJL1 is the latest one !
so I was advised NOT to use KIES, and ODIN was better !!
My tab is rooted with OCLF set, Just a quick question, Odin will delete all my data and also I believe that I'd have to re-ROOT the device right?
another question is since I didn't have market out of the box, the product sales code has been changed to XSG.
thanks a lot guys in advance
Cheers
Jackie

if u use oclf, undo oclf b4 update firmware, kies or odin works fine for me, i'll only use odin when i screw up with my tab

and will I have to re root the device and also will ODIN delete all my data?

Hi,
searching for something else I accidentily found this thread.
Maybe my experince might be of any interest: got the galaxy tab 3 days ago, installed KIES and instantly got a message to update the firmware to Froyo JK5. I followed the suggestion to save my data which I regret later, because it took very long (had already copied a lot of videos to the internal sd) and couldn´t stop it. To cut it short:
the update was successful and nothing deleted, just everything in place. Also synchronized Outlook contacts, though at 96% it got stuck - waited a few minutes, then broke up and all contacts had been transferred fine.
(don´t know, if firmware is different for other countries...)

Odin will not delete your data if you did not choose to repartition, no need to use pit file to repartition if you are just upgrading fw from the same region..safest is still via KIES

To correct some mis-information from above. Flashing with Odin can delete your data, it depends on what components are included in the image you flash. If you flash an official ROM with Kies you should not loose your data but there is always a risk of an issue occurring during any flash that could lead to data loss. Unless you flash a pre-rooted custom ROM you will loose root and SU during a flash. These can be re-applied easily to the SGT using the Super One-Click method.
Redardless of what flashing method you use, if you use RyanZA's OCLF you must undo the lag fix before you flash, otherwise you will certainly loose data and possibly end up with a corrupt system that won't boot (I had first hand experience of this early on in my flashing days with my SGS!). You shouldn't really need to apply a lagfix to the SGT as it doesn't seem to suffer from the same lag as the SGS.
Finally, flashing with Odin can lead to product code being changed, especially if the ROM you flash isn't intended for the normal product code of your device. There are various ways to restore your poduct code, look in the Samsung Galaxy S forums for suggestions on how to do this as the basic construction of the ROMs is very similar between the two devices from that point of view. Also, be aware that people with SGS devices have reported loosing their IMEI while flashing with Odin. If this happens you will end up with a WiFi only device unless you backed up your /efs folder before you flashed. There's lots of info in the SGS forums about this and it's worth a read if you are new to flashing. I haven't heard of anyone with a SGT loosing their IMEI yet but it's worth taking precautions.
Happy flashing folks!!

thanks a bunch guys, I'm now running the latest version !!
was just trying to install the latest gingerbread theme from the forums !! will let you all know how that went

Go to the Android Development section.
Look up Overcome and BOCA for the Galaxy Tab. Both a great however I prefer BOCA. The current release is 2.3.4 but 2.3.7 is in the works.
If you follow the instructions for BOCA you will have a GTab that feels like it was newly born again.

Yes. Follow the instructions on the magrathea site or overcome
Use overcome instructions to instal stock GB 5. It tells you the pit and modem to use for your tab.
Then install the overcome kernel and reboot. It will root the tab and format the storage.
Then you install the Boca zip over the overcome kernel.
If you just want overcomes Rom follow their instructions. They make it simple

is that all??hmm,
will try donload all the files 1st,then i will try
thanks guyz for da info..
so i dont need to flash stock rom like i always do with my SGS before installing any custom rom?

Next Steps to enable Phone calls on T-Mobile Tab?

Yes, I know...the subject has been beaten to death with a wet noodle, and then beaten again. However, I just can't find an answer for this scenario specifically in each of the threads I've read (eyes bleeding now...have read em all). So, I'd greatly appreciate a hand, and please don't bash me for reaching out for the help.
(NOT asking HOW to enable phone calling...I've seen all those posts...just asking if the following will work to do the same)
Here's my current dilemna....
I'm running Overcome v1.2.0 with the Overcome Kernel included (have converted to ext4). ((shows up as Model GT-P1000 / Baseband t849uvjjb / Kernel 2.6.32.9)) I DO have the phone dialer with this Rom (if that means anything in my progression)
1. So...can I now flash a modem to enable me to make calls using my T-Mobile SIM from my Galaxy S Vibrant?
2. OR...do I need to flash a Euro Rom specifically (roto jme v4 + roto 2g modem?), and not use the Overcome Rom?
2a. Is the roto JMI v2 an upgrade over the JMI v4 firmware?
Thanks in advance for you assistance...happy to buy you a beer for the help!

You need to download the european modem.
Download it here
http://db.tt/kM2Vbwa
Download heimdall. Just Google it and download it for your respective OS.
-put ur tab in download mode
-install the drivers
-choose the modem option
-pick the file u just downloaded
-click start
-restart the tab
You will get edge and voice
From the Tab.

That did the trick...very easy, thanks much!

Update galaxy tab FW

Hi to everybody!
I just bought a galaxy tab branded h3g (italy)
Those are my current features:
PDA: P1000XWJJ3
PHONE: P1000XXJID
CSC: P1000HUIJJ3
So, it's a bit outdated and i'd like to update to new JMI FW!
How to update?
How to backup my current firmware so to return back to it and avoid problems with guarantee?
Which fw do you advice me to flash in to improve performances (and possibly, as i said, go back to my current FW whenever ill feel to)?
Oh, and what about clockworkmod recovery? Should i install it before flash new firmware? (i installed rom manager...and waiting for your instructions)
Thank you all!

Hey mate, well the best instructions I can recommend would be my guide for Overcome v1.2.0, and that would also be my recommendation for a ROM, performs extremely well. This also includes CWM installation and changing your core filesystem to ext4 for increased performance.
Check out the ROM details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
My guide can also be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11836202
For a Pre-Clockwork Backup, RotoBackup is the best current method. Info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850359
I hope this helps, and Good Luck

Thank you for your infos!
What about to install clockworkmode recovery via rom manager first?
That's what im supposed to do:
1) Installa clockworkmode recovery from rom manager, so to backup my current h3g italy stock FW
2) install your custom rom OVERCOME
3) if dont like it, or need to revert back to stock firmware, i can use the backup made with clockworkrecovery previously installed via rom manager!
am i right?
Thank you in advance!
P.S.: what does it means that overcome rom doesent include "Modem"?

Hi, I have a Galaxy Tab Vodafone (italy). can I follow the same procedure?
I'm only worried for the gsm module, can I have problem for this? thanx

I flashed the JMI standard rom from samfirmware.com and its fine. However you will need to run a little boot unlocker app if ever you want to flash a custom rom in the future. Just search for "JM* galaxy tab" and you'll find the app.
Sometimes standard isn't so bad.... ;-)

Optus GT-P1000 Stcck Firmware ROM

Hi,
Would anyone be able to upload the stock rom included on out-of-the-box Optus GT-P1000's? If not, are there any copies of Telstra's GT-P1000T ROM anywhere?
Thanks heaps!

Do a search for "telstra rom galaxy tab"... Not original as it is a rotohammer backup but it is telstra stock rom... Its also pre-rooted...

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think there's any chance I'm going to find the fully stock ROM as opposed to a pre-rooted Roto build? Or the Optus ROM?

Not for the Telstra rom... Optus were, apparently, testing a gingerbread rom for gtab however when that is released is anyone's guess... Vodafone was also supposed to be releasing a gingerbread stock rom however this also has faded into history...

I spoke to optus and Samsung today re Gingerbread on the P1000. Optus had no comment other than to say they would pass my request to management. The guy from Samsung seemed annoyed with Optus for sitting on the firmware update for so long.

Optus CSC
Been searching both XDA and Whirlpool Forums for an answer to this but does anyone have a copy of the Optus CSC file for flashing through Odin.
Thanks

I've been looking for the same thing for a while.
I'm not sure of your situation, but I would say that a CSC file is probably not absolutely critical. A CSC file only deals with region-specific settings. As long as you enter the APNs manually to get your 3G working (check out AusDroid for your APN) you should be alright. It's possible you might have problems with Optus's included apps, but they're not all that great anyway..
I take no responsibility for anything you try, but I've done quite a few flashes without CSCs and I haven't bricked yet. Your mileage may vary.

Problem is I flashed to overcome before I realised I needed to backup my original firmware.
What I am trying to do is return it back to Froyo 2.2.1 but I can't remember what version of the firmware it was.
I have downloaded firmware from samfirmware but I cant get Kies to update my firmware it just says my version is not updatable through Kies.
Hence why I am looking for the Optus CSC.

I too would like to update to the stock, Optus firmware (even the old one would be fine)

Got a reply from Optus support yesterday and they said they had "no information" on the Tab's Gingerbread update "at this time". They announced in April that the Galaxy S and Tab updates were being tested, and the S has had its update for months, but the Tab's still got nothing.

CheckFus Downloader will allow you to download any rom you choose for your device.
Ive used it on my Galaxy I9000 and I9100 and it works perfectly.
It downloads encrypted kies roms, and decrypts them for you, ready to flash with odin.
Ive downloaded both the telstra and optus roms, but as yet im unable to flash them. Currently have Overcome 4.1.0 on my GT P1000 and for some reason, it stops while flashing the Hidden partition. Have tried repartitioning, and using different pit files, but no success as yet.
At least check fus will get you the current rom for your device, which kies will be able to update once again, verifying its a stock genuine rom.

Hope this helps you out.
