READ THIS POST BEFORE ASK! USE ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE!
General Note: There are now four official models of the Samsung Galaxy S outside the US: the GT-I9000 (International), GT-I9000M (Canada), GT-I9000B (Brazil), GT-I9000T (Mexico). All information in this FAQ is based on the GT-I9000 International version. Most of them also apply to the other models. The I9000M and I9000T are virtually identical to the I9000 and are mostly compatible with I9000 software. The I9000B has an added digital television receiver and is generally not as compatible. Please check carefully before starting to mess with the firmware on your device, check for possible compatibility issues beforehand and ALWAYS make sure you have three button recovery
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR I9000B:Ok guys, now is possible find more than one modded kerner for I9000B, but you must be careful, because many of them have a lot of bugs or are't fully tested. Almost all of new moded kernel doesn't support Digital TV so if it is useful for you, don't try, until the official firmware updates are released.

How to: Flashing your SGS
[VIDEO] Using Odin
[APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.3 (One Click Rooting-Unrooting)
How to [/COLOR]unlock/unfreeze all SGS Models
How-to Root Gingerbread 2.3.3 Stock using FuguRoot
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the zImage moded for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (if you let it conected to usb will loop on charging)
5. Disconnect and enter download mode
6: Reflash the ONLY original kernel (Download here)
7. DONE!
No 3G/GPRS/EDGE after flashing?
Is very common that after flashing a new firmware or kernel your device isn't conecting to 3G. WHY? Because many of the firmwares or kernels wipe all the user data includig de APN, wich contains the neccesary info to connect your device to 3G networks. But don't worry, this is not the end of the world. You could Add your APN confirgation just following this steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Wireless and network
3. Then go to Mobile networks
4. You will find the Acces Point Names or APN were should be the info to connect to 3G, click here
5. After that, use the "phisical" button of menu
6. Choose New APN
7. Set the configurarion of your carrier/mobile network (This info could be found at carrier/mobile network web page or just simply googling)
8. Done! you have your SGS configurated
To prevent loose the APN data, exists many apps wich could help. One of them is APN Backup & Restore a simple FREE App to backup and restore APNs. Very usefull.
The are some devices that's not necessary to back up data or add the data again, just conecting to 3G will download and apply de data by itselfs.
Problem with SuperOneClick v1.5.5 ?
If you get stucked at any moment of the process, waiting days for getting mount path?
Here is a solution.
1. Turn on usb debugging
2. Turn off phone & plug into usb
3. Start SuperOneClick
4. When it says waiting for device, turn phone on and let SOC finish the job.
5. Enjoy root!

Sync Error
Hello, thanks for creating this topic. We were really needed it!
I bought an SGS in Brazil, operator Vivo, Android 2.1 (Eclair) and upgraded to the 2.2 Froyo (Live - ZVV) using Odin (no pit). Since then, I'm having problems with Orkut sync.
When orkut account is selected, "Feeds and Updates" widget always displays the error: "Service Unavailable".
Under Settings / Accounts and synchronization features: Synchronization error "Synchronization is currently having problems. They will return soon" and does not synchronize the contacts on orkut.
This has been more than a month, since when I have done several roms updates, using odin (including re-partition) and Kies.
The only thing that worked a while, was to create a new Orkut account (in fact, google account) but after a factory reset, stopped again.
Other SNSAccounts work well, I have no problems with Twitter to Facebook, only Orkut.
I posted here because I think Orkut is a SNSAccount available only in Brazil.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

What about this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782686
Lots of related information there
try using Kies Registry patcher and choose ZTO for Vivo then update over Kies. I use to update my phone, mine was chilean Claro with Eclair. This is the official version of the operator and comes with Orkut
Is there any chance to have a ROM for Claro Mobile users which I suppose is ZTA? I´ve tried KIES and Kies Registry Patcher but got my SGS frozen if I choose ZVV and got "not available update" when using ZTA.
Thanks
Edited: I've finally made it. Using KIES and patch along ZVV spoof option. Now Froyo 2.2.
Personally I recommend I9000BVJJPD fw for updates, it is unbranded and the last version know, the firmwares from operators are too old (september, october, november).
Then root the phone and download "Uninstaller for root" from market, for delete some useless apps like "Braintest" or "Asphalt 5"
2.2 JPD
Yes, I am using this too. Works pretty well, and better than JPA. I had some wifi issues with JPA, magically solved in JPD.
There is a JPY which is a work-in-progress. So, JPD is the latest and greatest.

Cyanogen
Here is a thread I created to post everything specific related to CM and i9000B. For now, CM6 development has ended, and CM7 (Gingerbread) for i9000 is under development. Hopefully, there will be a ROM for i9000B or at least an adaptation.

For brazilian users, yo can enter to androidz.com.br where a user (ffosilva) modified the kernell, so any ROM can work with the i9000b (the only thing that doesn´t work is the TV), for argentinian users (or from peru and chile) go to grupoandroid.com.
For example, I have my i9000b with a 2.2.1 JS3 (the last one) ROM "cooked" by me using the DOCs ROM Kitchen that is in development section
3G
Guys, i update mine with froyo and lost 3G, i have TIM and CLARO chips, neither of them get 3G connections... just Gprs and Edge..
Also the signal got a little weird, for instance CLARO signal at my house gets weak and shows the message "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY", if i use the same chip in another phone, gets FULL signal...
If anyone has the same problem or solution please contribute!
Thanks
P.s.: Sometimes in CLARO I get FULL signal and the emergency calls only message disappears, bur when I try to make a call, it says "DATA NETWORK UNAVAILABLE"

Help from changing VIVO froyo to unbranded froyo
I'm from Perú, and last month I upgraded to brazilian froyo (I9000B_JPA_JP3_JPA_JPA_VJ_ZVV_BRAZIL) using odin. With this version I am having issues with wireless and GPS. My question is how can I change to the unbranded version. I have lagfix and root installed. Do I have to undo the lagfix and the root first? Is it possible to install the unbranded version and don't lose the applications installed??
Please confirm
Thanks!

hi i am a little confused.com as to which rom 2.1/2.2, csc file or no csc file to use so i can keep my provider settings apn ect.
please help with some ideas for the roms.
jpo on sam firmwares says jm8 512pit repartition. then jpo no repartition but i noticed theres no modem file or csc files very confused.com.
could some one giv it in an explanation as to the whole procedure so i dont get it wrong. my wife is disabled and relys on my phone to work so bricking is out of the question.
please help as i would like froyo 2.2.
very greatfull

ok if i flash the modem file which is : -The MODEM (called Phone). This is the firmware of the wireless chipset of the device and will operate you WiFi, Blutooth and 3G/2G/GSM connections. (ie Radio ROM). will i loose all of threes settings, as jm8 requires this file for flashing.
i also see that jpo is just the code file and 803pit, so the csc file isnt used in either flash and the csc is : -The CSC (short for Customer Specific Customization). This includes connection data for the broadband networks as well as apps that are only available in certain languages/intended for a specific area. so the broadband setting will stay then.
so after flashing jm8 with the modem file will i loose my 3g, wifi ect.
please confirm thankyou.

I got tired of waiting for the Orange UK Froyo and plus i didnt like their bloatware nonsense that came on my SGS. Didnt really want to faff around looking for rom's .etc and would rather use Kies to flash and not Odin so...
I used the kies patch here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
Select which product code you wish to spoof, i chose XEU full instructions are given, read through the thread, and Kies updated my handset to stock Froyo 2.2 not bloatware crap....thought it would be useful to mention it here just incase you wish to debrand/rid the three version.

ok i flashed jm8 512pit, then jpo with 803pit. all is ok
now for three users if you want to keep your apn settings download apn backup/restore and back up your apn settings, works a treat.
titianium backup pro, backed up all apps plus data.
uninstall any lagfix/2e tools, left root
also used adb for the reboot, recovery\download mode, as my phone does not have 3 button enabled.
after the jm8 had no apn settings so went right on with jpo and then reset the phone.
used apk 3.0 to load z4 root and rooted the phone, installed apn backup and reset, then installed titianium backup and restored apps and all works very well.
last lag fixed with oclf sweeeeeeeeeeeet. and reboot phone not factory reset.
installed root tools from the market and chaned fonts its now finnished.
3 weeks of reading and app searching and it was a success.
regards all and merry christmas in advance.

Hows the reception in this rom (or modem if you're trying it separately)?
If its good I might put it on my dads captivate.
This is quite a fast modem way better than the earlier telstra specific modems call quality seems to be ok also.
3G speed test.

GPS seems to be ok
In around 10 seconds "I did not time it" Sygic Aura maps showed 6 satellites.
GPS Aids is showing
First fix time of 12 seconds 7 satellites
Second fix time 6 seconds 9 satellites
So far the rom is far superior to the JP8 release.
I have root using SuperOnClick v2.2 and removed the testra apps lol they had to go sorry telstra

Many thanks for the info mate!
The difficult thing to know is if the modem is tailored to the telstra network or just a generic 850mhz modem like in captivate galaxy s series (they all seem to be cross compatible iirc). Currently i have a 2.3.5 leak on my dads captivate, so its hard to know whether that modem (presumably newer)would work better or whether this (presumably older) modem that is specific (?) to telstra sgs would be better.
Also would be nice to if there is any hardware know if the are any differences in the physical modem between the captivate and telstra sgs, and whether those are accounted for/ tailored to by the modem software. Too bad this info is hard to find..
I think I'll take my chances and try it out Seeing as the model is specific to one carrier only, it might be good!
are you able to please just attach the modem?
Cheers

Is the DVJV4 available for cm7/miui or will someone be able to convert it for the people (ie me HA!) please
@ apsmiles
Maybe one of the developers of the cm7/miui would be able to do this for you it might be worth asking this question in one of there rom development threads they would be the best people to make the mod for you.
No dramas mate, will do

It's actually very easy to convert - http://soggycashew.weebly.com/uploads/8/3/8/2/8382536/how_to_create_a_new_cm7_modem.txt. These instructions are for doing it on the phone, I did it on the computer.
Anyway, here it is.
Yeah I saw that site, had a catastrophic failure on cm7, so went back to darky's for the time being and built a cwm3.zip of this modem, works well in North QLD.
Thank a lot though mate much appreciated for your effort

how is this possible with a SIGNED zip file? I've done this trick in the past to create my own modem with standard cwm3 modem packages on regular ROMs but have stayed away from cyanogenmod ROMs cause I though I'd have problems with not being able to flash whatever modem I wanted.
Obviously, mucking with a signed file by replacing the modem in it would cause the signature to fail. So how does it just work?
Just thought I'd add that I tested the modem on my dads captivate (carrier = telstra ). Speed and reception is great =), better than the captivate specific modem he was using before. I haven't tested call quality or gps signal though.
thanks for the download link
The link saved me heaps when i soft bricked my galaxy.
But i have one question.
With the 2.3.3 i have been having the battery drain issue. (do you guys have this?) The one with the android os using up 40%+ of the battery. Before i soft bricked it i updated with kies to 2.3.3 and i had it then but a reboot after charging fixed it. Now i think rebooting is doing nothing.
2.3.4 and up is supposed to fix it but i am not sure which firmware to update it to.
I did download XXJVR from samfirmware.com. (dont know if that could be the right one to use) I was going to open it in 7-zip and delete the modem and things that it doesnt need but i am scared to flash it.
So heres the question:
how would i update my i9000t to 2.3.4 while keeping it mostly stock telstraish?
thanks in advance
(Sorry for the long reply)
downlaoding it now!!!

hello Jazzyman with the stock telstra rom i did have this androidOS bug but a reboot would fix the problem so i started trying a few things the end result is my setup now is as follows i am using is the telstra 2.3.3 from kies then i flashed galaxian kernel jw1 v3
link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137595
installed system system app remover from market and removed telstra apps and buddys now, days, gfg2011, minidiary, samsung widget feeds and updates.
this setup seems quite stable never had a fc and everything works as expected the android os bug has not been a problem for me with this kernel.
interestingly i tried to do this exact same setup on another i9000t and root would not stick haven't had time to have a look into that because my friend wasn't to bothered and re flashed stock kernel basically due to warranty fears.
I have had a few things like this happen in the past and to me it just seems that every phone is slightly different in software due to user customisations and odin not being exactly 100% reliable.
Ahh thanks for that i was using darkys kernel last night and didnt have the bug. so this morning i downloaded semaphore kernel and i really like it but its one of the kernel that cant record 720p so ill try out galaxian kernel

That's what "Generic, unbranded..." means...
ROM for LT18i generic unbranded
If i update to this ROM would i be able to connect my cell to 3G connection. The thing is i bought this on ebay in Singapore and when it comes i realized that bands in america are different. however i read before that this cellphone is quadriband and that supposed to make it available to connect but i needed to changed the ROM somehow. Can this Rom change that? thanks.
Can you make me a favor?
- Flash using Wotan client.
- Repair using SEUS (just to download files in blob_fs folder.
- decrypt and create bundle from SEUS files in blob_fs
?
I just want to check if SEUS will repair it, my LT18a is prototype, so can you try to do it? I'm not sure about the SI numbers for US generic If you be so kind, I really appreciate it, if you want I will pay $$ Paypal just for the help.

SEUS always repairs phones, regardless of whatever firmware is on it.
However, it will not always download the current firmware you have on the phone. It may download your region's current firmware.

If i update to this ROM would i be able to connect my cell to 3G connection. The thing is i bought this on ebay in Singapore and when it comes i realized that bands in america are different. however i read before that this cellphone is quadriband and that supposed to make it available to connect but i needed to changed the ROM somehow. Can this Rom change that? thanks.

No, it will not change the hardware of your phone. It is probably quadband, but that doesn't mean it has the correct band. It will not work on AT&T, maybe TMo, but I am not sure. It all comes down to hardware and SIM card, not so much ROM.
I have a LT18a Arc S that works on AT&T 3G here in the US. LT18i = international, LT18a = Americas (and possibly a hand full of other countries). I'm relocating to Singapore next month for a while, I have my fingers crossed that it will get 3G there. I can't seem to find what bands the Singapore carriers use. Then again I haven't really looked too hard. If it doesn't work, I'm sure I can find something over there worth buying.
In the end I used 4SE from simlock.com, they have a GEL and US variants, GEL=less bloatware, its Generic for Latin Americas.

MediaFire has a 200MB limit. I'm uploading to another site. Will update the first post once the links are available.
You can flash any build as long as you don't downgrade from v2.3.4 to a lower version (v2.3.3 or v2.3.2).

mate bluechipj...
can I use this to downgrade my arc s LT18i? it is currently on android version 2.3.4,baseband 64, build number 4.0.2.A.0.62
i just want to have a root access.
my plan is to downgrade to .42, then root with zergrush exploit or iclick rooting and lastly update via OTA to .62 and hopefully the root access is still there.
do you think this will work out? Coz ive just read from your thread on LT15i that some people are able to do it with their arc. but here on arc s, still no feedback if somebody able to do it. any idea mate? thanks in advance

Short answer: yes.
OTA updates maintain root. Will update post #1.
Flash .42, root with zergRush, force an OTA update in Settings / About.

so my model number will become LT18a on .42, if i successfully updated OTA will it go back to LT18i on .62? and whats the real difference between LT18a and LT18i? yeah, literally its the a and the i w/c is america and international, but what I mean is the phone itself,. Is there some changes in the phone settings or any functions? coz im afraid that it wont work (i mean the basic function of calling, texting and data internet) here in my country in asia. can you pls make it clear for me. thank you very much
and btw, is there any technique or procedure to successfully updated via OTA? coz ive read that some people claims that OTA is not available on their phone and the system says its already updated.
Any chance i can get LT18i? I did a mistake in my phone n goes to bootloop, after that, i flash it with this LT18a (my mistake not make backup for the stock rom). I dont hv any problem with this rom, but i think i need the LT18i rom if want to get warranty... ( my phone root but with locked BL). Thanks in advance

As stated in the first post...
This works on ANY Xperia arc S (LT18a/i).

Any firmware can be flashed onto any phone and everything will work, including data. (Will require manual setup of Settings / Wireless / Mobile Networks / APN. Or backup your existing settings with APN Backup and Restore: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore&hl=en) All firmwares contain both software radios for "i" and "a". However, hardware radios are fixed. You cannot make an LT18a into an LT18i by flashing firmware or vice versa. However, an LT18i will still get "i" 3G in an "i" zone with an "a" firmware and vice versa.
As long as there is an update available for the firmware (which there is for USA .42), you can update over the air while maintaining root as long as you have not modified or removed any system files.
e.g. changed themes, fonts, notification bar, widgets, etc.
If you install an "a" firmware, it will continue to update to the next "a" firmware and vice versa.

I don't have any saved LT18i firmwares but there are many more of them all over the forum (Hong Kong, Nordic, UK, etc.)
Download Wotan Server (free) and flash one.
how can I create the .ftf file out of LT18a file that you upload. coz its in RAR file format and contains the files that supposed to be the content of .ftf?

I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0_4.4 with ODIN and had no issues getting it to stick. When the device reboots after the ODIN flash, make sure you are immediately holding the home button and volume up button. As long as you can get it to boot into TWRP immediately after the flash, it will stick.
However, flashing SuperSU resulted in a bootloop immediately after. Guess we need a new root for this firmware. If you care, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/help/twrp-4-4-build-5-1-1-rom-t3216561 is a thread I started for this. Post there and subscribe, maybe some experts will come along to help us...
Any feedback on whether it includes the new snote and new spen features like smart clip from Note 4 or Note 5
In p605 now is possibile write a note in lockscreen

The pen window has these commands now:
Air Command (no change)
Smart Select (where old Scrap Booker was)
Image Clip (where old Screen Write was)
Screen Write (where old S-Finder was)
Pen Window (no change)
So I think the answer is "Yes" depending on what you mean by "Smart Clip"
Root!

It works without doing Step 1 (i.e. on the Stock Tmobile ROM)! All credit goes to @bluecat for doing the work and @M3r71n0 for the English translation!

Were you able to install the SuperSU beta via TWRP? I just get that the file is corrupt and can't go any further. I was able to flash the new ROM and TWRP using the first few steps.
Yes. I am not sure if a final version has been released.
Has anyone here observed that ever since updating to lollipop that it won't store Wi-Fi credentials through reboots? It seems every time I reboot my tablet I have to reconnect to my Wi-Fi...
Edit... it seems that it's not just reboots that causes the WiFi to forget the saved networks. Turning WiFi off and then back on again will also cause it to forget all saved networks. Not sure what to do to fix this this time...
Just tried a factory reset to see if maybe I just had a dirty flash or something... Didn't help. Is anyone else having this problem?
Should have asked first, are you on stock, or did you try to root using the P605 guide? If you are rooted, then open up /system/build.prop and change ro.securestore.support from true to false to fix the wifi issue... If you are on stock, read on for some suggestions...
I do not have this problem. Based on other people discussing something similar on OTHER devices, few things you may want to try are below ... Please note that I am NOT an expert and there is a good chance I am citing discussions that have NOTHING to do with your problem. 1 and 2 should be safe and not do any damage to your device, but 3 might be risky. So, please try solutions at your own risk ...
1) Forget/Delete the connection once and connect to it again from scratch by entering the password. Right now you reenter the password when the device forgets it, but some people seemed to be discussing how deleting a working connection and reentering password manually seems to fix it. No idea why this would work!
2) Since you already did a factory reboot, one suggestion I saw elsewhere was to flash the new ROM with ODIN, then reflash it again right away. Again, absolutely no idea if or why this might ever work!
3) Are you sure you updated to the RIGHT LL ROM for your device? The most frequent reason I see for this is if you flashed the wrong device/region ... For example, if you are on the P607T (T-Mobile) and flashed the Nordic (NEE) ROM that is listed in the root guides on this site, that might mess up your wi-fi. Some discussion I saw on this suggested flashing the correct MODEM file manually.
If you ever figure it out, please come back and share your solution!

I actually have the SM-P607T and I downloaded the stock ROM from Youmobile and flashed with Odin because Kies and Smart Switch kept locking up on me. I started fresh and only restored apps after flashing an unsecured boot and rerooting.
This suggestion worked perfectly. Stored WiFi passwords now survive reboots and turning WiFi on and off.
I would have quite literally found that. Thank you SO much! That little problem was wildly inconvenient but it's fixed now.
Thanks again.

No problem! This is apparently quite a common issue and you would have bumped into a discussion sooner or later... I noticed that even the thread with the unsecured boot image has now been updated with this information
Thanks for that link btw ... Does everything else work alright with that kernel on the P607T? The P605 is AT&T, if I am not mistaken and I am unsure what changes exist between that and the T-Mo version. Its strange that Samsung has released so much on its opensource portal for the 605, but literally just one source for the 607T. Perhaps because the base code is the same? No idea, but if you are happy with your performance out of this kernel, let us know...

I'm actually quite pleased with performance and usability of my P607T with the stock 5.1.1 ROM installed. Everything works as expected except for that wifi issue and that's now fixed thanks to your info a few posts up.
I can't speak to whether or not the base code is the same or not I would imagine that the code is likely very similar if not the same because I had "[ROM][P605][5.0.2] Besonderes; a Touchwiz Lollipop ROM for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE" which is made for the P605 installed on my P607T and everything worked except wifi direct which is actually very important to me because my work program requires it.
Now I can't keep my tablet rooted because the program I use for work won't load with the tablet rooted. This has been the case since 4.4.4 too so no big deal..
What I have to do is go into supersu and turn root on and off as needed. A bit inconvenient but it works...

Good to know everything works well ...
Blue Cat has been sharing his source files and config and suggested some ways to compare P605 with P607T to figure out if they are the same or how similar they are. Its been a while since I tinkered with linux, but as and when I learn something, will update.

I followed the instructions from this linked thread, substitute p607t firmware for the p605 in step 1.
Key is to not let it auto reboot after Odin flashes twrp, if you miss that step then you have to reflash it as it will be overwritten.
Once you are in twrp then you flash supersu and boot up.

I was never able to get Knox disabled from supersu and was constantly getting the security check notification(I had frozen parts of it in the past and now it won't thaw no matter what I have tried, FULL wipe and reflash, check w tibu and still frozen... No idea). I used titanium backup to freeze "securitylogagent" and everything has been fine since, including WiFi credentials sticking

Hey guys,
I've had my S4 for a while now and I've been happily switching around between ROMs and getting the newest versions of Android ever since Jelly Bean. Now I've recently been noticing that my wifi and 3G is acting up. I constantly lose the connection (shows up as a small exclamation mark on the wifi/3G symbol) and while sometimes I can fix it simply by switching to airplane mode and back, it often requires a reboot to get things working again.
While I have been updating my ROMs quite frequently, I've never actually touched the modem firmware, which makes me think that it's probably the reason for these problems. Which leads me to the following questions I have:
1) Where can I find the right firmware version? All I know is that my phone is a I9505 from the German carrier 1&1 and that the baseband is XXUEMKF (I vaguely remember that it may have been a different baseband in the past, I may have fooled around with it back when I was completely new to custom ROMs).
2) Is there any way of updating the baseband without using Odin? My USB connection has a loose contact. Charging still works, but data transfer only works if the phone is ABSOLUTELY not moving. Even so much as breathing on the phone will cause it to lose connection. I do most of my data transfers over wifi with Airdroid, so this hasn't bothered me until now. Any way to get around using Odin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running Resurrection Remix 5.5.7 (Lollipop 5.1.1)
I'm in Sweden and wishing someone with experience made it easier to find most up to date firmware and maybe even a brief explaination on fixes. Also I'd like to know for all these roms if there is a possible ROM + FIRMWARE package possible so you always have the correct firmware for your rom, i.e running Lollipop 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or 5.1 or 5.1.1 seems to be needing different f/w's (or am I completely wrong?)
I'm currently running [JDCTeam][STABLE][5.1.1][1 November] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 build with latest update and I'm getting the "known" black screen in calls which is so annoying.
But when I run Aurora S6 Port 5.2 [OTA Update 1.6 by JASONRR] I have NO ISSUES what so ever.
Please someone explain this!

You guys probably need to update bootloader and modem. You can manually flash them or flash a stock Lollipop rom.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
Try this version. I9505XXUHOJ2
It doesn't matter from which country. Flash it using Odin (you can only update modem and bootloader using Odin). Afterwards you can restore you rom.

Since I'm still less then 10 posts I can't post external links...I have that and "sammobile dot com", but what I didn't know was that you could flash from different countrys, this is new to me.

It's only used as a reference to know where a firmware was released. It doesn't matter if you pick a firmware released in for example Germany or one released in Sweden. Same firmware but different label. Just ignore it.
ps the black screen will be solved after you update modem+bootloader.

*Update*
Updated the Bootloader (BL_UHOJ2.tar) and Modem (CP_UHOJ2.tar) but blackscreen in calls persists
And since I know that it works 100% in Aurora ROM I'm guessing it's a software issue (I presumed it was fw but maybe not). Running "Proximity Fix" doesn't fix it either, sensor still shows 0cm! It isn't a bad sensor i.e no air blowing issue!
Please advice!!
Thank you

If you go to settings > about phone, what does it say your smallband version (your modem) is?

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm still a little intimidated by all this. Which firmware version should I flash? There's the HOJ2 version that seems to exist for many different countries and carriers and some are described as being for branded (simlocked?) phones. My phone is unlocked and I'm using the carrier 1&1 in Germany. Which version do I download? And why is it a 1.5GB file? I thought this was just the modem and bootloader? Or does it only come in combination with a full stock ROM?
Also, any tips on where to download, all the links I find are for filesharing sites that throttle non-premium downloads to ridiculously low speeds.
