bell GT-i9000m

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else. I have checked the forums, checked youtube and now am finally asking through this.
I recently had my phone unlocked so i could use my rogers card...works great however i'm stuck with no home or back button. I see there's lots of issues and the suggestion is to go back to stock firmware. I've downloaded odin3 1.85 and but can't find the orginal firmware. i've created accounts at sams (firmware/mobile) and still can't find the firmware. Can someone please just tell me the best way to fix this issue? I tried the 2663 FW update and that didn't fix it.
Here's the specs:
pda: i9000ugkg3
phone: i9000ugkg3
csc: i9000bmckg3

If you are looking for the Bell UGKG3 ROM, it's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
search for UGKG3

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the download gets redirected to megaupload and the site is down.
I tried googling GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl.exe and nothing, no torrents found anywhere either. Can you recommend another link??
Thanks!

Have you tried sammobile.com?

There are multiple referenced site there, only the megaupload one is missing
the link named depositfiles seems to be OK.

sammobile does not list UGKG3.
Only Bell ROM it lists is I9000UGKC1, which is Froyo.

Hi,
I became a member specifically to pursue this. I also am looking for the abovementioned files. At this point, assuming that they're not re-upped to another filehoster, and assuming that there's no way to procure them directly from someone at xda, I'm prepared to look for an alternate GT-I9000M rooting method. Starting here: anyone know of an alternate procedure that can be found under the xda aegis?
I want to thank the Canadian members whose advice has already facilitated the rooting and unlocking of my I9100: thank you! thank you! thank you!
Edit: I've been digging through xda, but no luck yet.

Try superoneclick, it worked on my friends i9000m.

I tried all the links on the multiupload/0H6SC9W6FG download page and they're all having issues. any other suggestions? If somebody has the file and would be willing to torrent it for a few hours, i would be very grateful. Thanks!

I zipped and uploaded the three part firmware (GB 2.3.3) for odin on depositfiles for i9000m

Awesome Thanks! i'm downloading now. I'll have to have another read on actually updating now so i don't screw it up

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Everything download - again a big thank you!
Before i execute i just want to confirm (i'm nervous - no warranty so no exchange)
1. Set unit to USB debug
2. Launch Odin, connect USB
3. Odin msgbox "added"
4. import each file ( pda,phone,csc)
5. execute start
I'm going to leave the default checkboxes checked (f.reset time, auto reboot)
leave re-partition un-checked.
good to go or am i missing anything?

Yes exactly! I've just try it and all is back to stock 2.3.3 for my GT-I9000M

worked perfectly for me.. after putting the unit in 'download mode'.
i'm still having issues with the back and menu button .. both are
still not working.
What do you suggest??

Would someone be able to give me a link for stock 2.2.1 for my model?? I have read a few threads that say loading this and doing the 2663 works. Currently i'm on 2.2.3 stock.
I have downloaded I9000XWJS8.rar but not 100% if its ok for 9000m
thanks!

Also awesome, also thanks! downloading now, will be trying this out soon, and report back.

Hi Altheos,
Firstly just wanted to say thanks for the orginal download. After restoring back to stock with a found JL2 version i was able to finally get the home/back buttons working again YAY. Just curious now that that i've been dorking around on the SGS. How were you able to create the 3partskg3fori9000m(odin) archive with
CSC_BMCKG3.tar.md5
PDA_UGKG3_Sbl.tar.md5
PHONE_UGKG3.tar.md5
Just curious as i've now added mulitple apps and am trying darkyroms latest and would like to image the state my phone is in now for later restore if need be.

I downloaded it some time ago from another source here that went down with megaupload, though I know that if you search for a guide in the forums, you should find various guides.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you're rooted, download spooffw from the market, follow the instructions to spoofit to JL2 then hook up KIES and it will download and install pure stock KG3
just remember to factory reset afterwards so you clear out any memory leftovers.

[Q] n900t rom on n900w8 (tls)

I have trying to find information on this for awhile and I am very surprised that the same question is not posted more often.
Every time I install an n900t rom (I install the wifi fix as well) I run into the issue of no data connection (my 4g/lte). Now as I read more and more it seems it must be a modem issue? I have looked around for a telus 4.4.2 mode file and cannot find one. Does anyone know where I could get such a file and also can I just load that on after I install the t mobile rom? I love the custom rom and it ducks because obviously I need my data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.

apparently it might be a radio and not a modem? I'm a bit lost here. Perhaps I have to load a csc file?

If you're not getting data, have you checked the settings or manually created APN for your carrier?

Network continuallly disconnecting on i9505

Tonight I installed KitKat 4.4.4 (tried 2 different 4.4.4 roms) on an i9505 which was previously running jelly bean (stock, touchwiz).
The phone network keeps disconnecting on it. If I go into wireless and networks/more/mobile networks/network operators and select my provider through there, it will connect and work fine for a while, but will then disconnect itself again randomly. The IMEI is all fine. This is the first time i've really been stuck with a problem, and i've been flashing roms on multiple phones for a long time.
Why would it be working, but keep disconnecting itself? So annoying..
Anyone able to give me some help here please? Would really be much appreciated, thanks..

Just thought....
My mate whose phone it is has gone away so I won't be able to try this until tomorrow, but maybe it's not a UK baseband on it..
I'm sure I've used basebands before though that weren't specifically for my country on other galaxy phones, but it's a good possibility do you think? I didn't think it could cause that, until now..
I can't believe I never thought of trying that at the time, I'll find out if that is the problem tomorrow.

Solved!!
For anyone experiencing the same problem...
Flash a baseband which is specifically for your country with Odin - WITH AUTO REBOOT UNCHECKED
take battery out. Boot into download mode. Flash the same baseband again. For some reason if you only flash it once and leave reboot checked it doesn't work.
Phone will boot, and you will find that the problem is fixed.
Hope this helps someone else avoid the **** that I encountered.
Thanks!

Nice to see this thread has helped a few people.
I was scratching my head for a while with that problem, and I'd consider myself pretty experienced with android and flashing ROMs.
I was searching the net, and I found forum posts of people saying they had the same problem, I even found posts that said SOLVED!!! in them, with no explanation as to how it was solved lol. Great help.
Anyways, peace all.
And 1eyedmonster, just gimme a shout if you want the one I used and I'll send you it, or pm me your gmail add, whatever..

It was this issue that has stopped me from flashing aosp and cm 11 in the past as as soon as I booted and set up my apps I would lose signal and would have to aeroplane mode on and off before I could regain signal again and the only roms that I could use was goldeneye and miuiandroid miuiandroid
Thanks to you I will probably spend the weekend flashing Mrs won't be happy [emoji12]

Good stuff, glad to hear it.
The lesson is to always post the solution when you find it. There's nothing more annoying than reading a long thread of a problem you have too, and when the guy gets it fixed he doesn't come back to post the fix...
Cheers

BRICKED G935F , IMEI LOST PLEASE HELP.

Hi after flashing a rom not on xda my phone's IMEI became erased. unfortunately the EFI backup that I had wouldn't fix either. I tried going back to stock using SmartSwitch emergency recovery. Still no fixes.
Please help my phone cannot use cellular service!
Any idea Im all ears. I tried various methods for older Galaxys around the xda, none worked.
I know my IMEI and S/N how can I fix it.
Please help!!!!

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.

I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.

keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.

I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.

O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

It was not because of unlock. My phone was already unlocked. It happened after flashing a bad rom.

write stock rom

This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Would u have any suggestions on where I could go to fix?

Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.

My Moto G4 Plus doesnt connect to anything

I had a few problems with my phone, quick settings wouldnt come down and other things, but nothing to do with network, my phone would connect to wifi and would read my sim and would use data. I flashed the stock rom and everything was great until it tried to connect to wifi. It just stays in searching and my mac address changed to 02:00:00:00:00:00 and my IP address apears as unavailable and my phone wont read my sim card.
Can anyone help me? im really desperate because im starting a new job and i really need my phone to work. I worked with motorola support and im gonna send it over to them.
Does anyone know if flashing a stock rom voids my warranty?
Also, i took it to a local phone place that fixes phones and they told me that it was the "logica" (im in mexico) the part that deals with connections, wifi or sim. Is it really that? Because that worked fine before i flashed the stock rom.
Thanks

that happens if you flash incorrect stock rom happened for me i can help u if u can take a screenshot of your bootloader and post it here or just mention your model number
