Hi,
I bought 3 monthes ago a european galaxy tab that has the JJ3 firmware. I wanted to know if I could directly flash the JMG one onto the tab ? I'm asking this because I saw a thread where someone was flashing from a JJ* to JM6 and then JMF I think. Is it necessary to do those extra steps ?
Thanks,

You can flash straight to JMG from JJ3 fine. If you look in the JMG thread in the Tab development forum, on page 3 (I think) I've posted a link to a stock JMG package which contains everything you need but doesn't contain bootloaders. Don't use the link Chainfire posted in the first post as it doesn't have dbdata.rfs included in the package and your Tab probably won't boot if you flash that. I'm sure you've seen the threads about bootloaders but just as a reminder, beware of flashing any ROM that may contain them as you could hard brick your phone if the flash goes wrong.
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

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.
Hi guys
Ive just had my phone replaced and as a result I need to re-apply my root file,
My problem is I haven't been on the forum for a while and now I cant seam to find it.
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 which would be fine, if i could work out what CF-root version I need for android ver 2.3.5
Could someone point me to the old thread with the root file ? ( placed at root of phone, 3 button & apply method)
Or
Could someone link me to the relevant CF Root file? (already have odin & thread above has everything I need to carry it out apart from the file.)
Also apologies in advance if Ive overlooked something or being an idiot, figured this would be straight forward
What's your firmware version?
Sorry I didn't really make it very clear in the beginning, Im using an Orange branded phone and i cannot find the relevant code for my build. I am still pretty new to all this having only previously run versions of Darky rom.
Here is the vital info :
Android Version 2.3.5 ( I read in another thread superoneclick is incompatible with 2.3.5 due to the boot-loader may be locking with gingerbread, anyone confirm this ? )
Bulild Number :Gingerbread.BVJVC
Basically I was looking to root my phone because I want to swap over to Hellybean & also purchase a few of the well known root apps ie CWM, Titaniam backup, These are so I can backup the existing phone in a reversible condition should it be needed later down the line.
I know I don't need to have root access to flash to Hellybean, but I do in order to make those security backups ill need root.
Anyone Help ?
The reason why you didn't find a CF-root kernel is, that the thread you found is for the S2. In the S1 thread, you'll find what you're looking for.

Why in the world would you want to "update" your bootloader?
I think it would be worth your while to read up on bootloaders
before you end up with a shiny brick with a 5 inch black screen.
Here is a good link to find out what a bootloader is and does:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Bootloader
Bootloaders have nothing to do with the speed or the stability of the phone.
Good luck!

lol this is the first time I see someone wants a newer bootloader.. As the post above me, a newer bootloader won't make your phone faster ..Anyway you already have the latest knox one

hi,
no I don't look for speed.
I was thinking that it could have some impact when trying some ROM, like :
kitkat GE Rom which are not stable, even if the rom comes i9505GE official Google edition rom which should be stable...
I was thinking that the difference between a i9505 and a i9505GE could be the bootloader, as the hardware is exactly the same...
thanks
Olivier
You are on a pre KNOX boot loader so stick with it. No need to update. Updating to a KNOX boot loader will give you a knox flag once it a tripped there's no going back. With a KNOX boot loader you can not downgrade as well. I'm on the old boot loader and custom 4.3 roms work well.

Mobile ODIN is the reason
Hello,
I have a MJ5 bootloader and to use the app Mobile ODIN I am advised to use the MJ7 version or I might soft-brick my phone...
I already have the KNOX flag at 1, so I suppose I should not worry about that... And I can't find anywhere (I did search the forum and google) how to do this.
Before anyone asks.. I have and work with OS X and I am aware of Heimdall (ODIN replacement for macs). But I tried using it and it did not recognize my phone to download my .PIT file. Also, its quite confusing about heimdall packages instead of normal files..
So, Im going for Mobile ODIN which seems to be the easiest way to ODIN.
Can anyone help? Should I worry about anything else than KNOX flag that I am not aware of when changing the bootloader?
Thanks in advance.
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SCL22 from au japan.
I have unlocked it before using service mode (*#0011#) when it was on Kitkat 4.4.2.
But after I updated it on Lollipop 5.0 I cannot unlock it using service mode because there is no menu anymore it is just end.
Is there any other code or way to access service mode.
Any other way to sim unlock my phone? THANKS!
Same problem here
Any solution pls
SCL22 on Lollipop
Same problem here, cant access the Service Menu and Can't use any sim in the Philippines.
Please somebody help us.
Probably found a solution in a Japanese forum. Though I haven't understand it fully (with google translate), but it can be something like this.
Do not upgrade the firmware from your phone (If you already did, then you can re-install it again with following procedure).
Instead download the official SCL22 Lollipop firmware from sammobile.com or somewhere else in your PC.
Extract the firmware and add "ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk" in /system/app/ directory. Probably we need to google a bit on how to rebuild a firmware. A starting point can be http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138885
Then install the firmware using Odin.
After installation, follow the unlock instruction for Kitkat 4.3, which I think you know already. They are also available in the Japanese forum too.
http://www.neko.ne.jp/~freewing/android/au_scl22_galaxy_note3_sim_unlock/
Note: The ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk download link is given in the Japanese forum. Or I think it can be extracted from the Kitkat 4.3 firmware files too. Once I followed this post (http://allthec.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-note-3-scl22.html) to root my SCL22 Kitkat 4.4.2 which is specific to SCL22 only and very easy to follow, this should work for Lollipop 5.0 too, if you are interested to root your device. But rooting the device will not unlock the phone.
I haven't tried it in my phone yet. Can any of you try it and let us know how it goes. Hopefully it will work!
Awesome
Thanks tutul.net, I will try that out.
And the translation is terrible so I'll try with the little japanese I can read:
First Method:
・Using odin flash SCL22KDU2FNF7
・Unlock using the SCL22KDU2FNF7 method
・Dont upgrade past SCL22KDU2FNF7
Second Method:
・Using Odin only flash the SCL22KDU2FNF7 modem
・Extract the old version of the ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk and overwrite the new one (/system/app/ServiceModeApp_RIL.apk)
・Using the Service menu, *#0011#, unlock with the old method
Now that I actually wrote all that out, looks like you were spot on. Thanks again!
I have had a note.3 as a paper weight for about a year now, maybe your advice will finally let me use it.
Also it was kind of biatch to get that apk, so I reupped it somewhere else for convenience hope it helps someone: ServiceModeApp_RL.zip
I'm having trouble with this and it's getting me really frustrated... did you eventually get it to work?
can you just flash the modem? isn't the modem supposed to be .bin file?
if you were able to successfully rebuild the rom with the fix, it would help me greatly if you can upload it somewhere
any help is appreciated
Did anyone manage to do this?
Basically you need a Linux base PC to rebuild a tar.md5

Hey, may I know if you have successfully rebuild the tar.md5? I think it will need a Linux Ubunto based PC to do this (see links I post below)
