[Q] How do I go back to stock JFD?

Hello,
Sorry if this has been answered, but I couldnt find anything when I searched.
I am trying to go back to stock on my Vibrant just like when I first got it out the box.
I flashed the unofficial update JI2 and then the JI6 through Odin, but now I want to go back to stock to see if I get the update from Tmobile or just do it through Kies.
In order for me to do this I have to go to stock and I cant find or know to to do it. I seem to be getting this whole Odin thing so if I can do it this way it would be great. Please let me know. Thanks.
I search Development section, but none of those worked for me. Not sure if Im doing something wrong.

I am no expert by any mean just a noobie but I downloaded the files on the link posted in I believe it was the Development section that was the JDF Odin stock rom etc. Look for it posted in there or search it and it will come up. I used Odin and it went smoothly and then I updated to ji6.I believe the link below is what you are looking for.

Here is the link again for some reason it shows up when I save it but when I exit out and come back it is gone

Ok, so I did find this one, but I had no luck!
So did you click on the last one that says All 3 Files?
Or did you click them one by one?

you should try a custom rom before going back to stock!

Either way you want to do it. The 3 files-in-one is a smaller download if that matters to you. But they're all the same...
Also, in the Vibrant Bible, there's a link to Odin1.3 which worked well when I had to go from JI5 (via Kies) back to JFD for the Kies Mini update to JI6. Just fyi, I'm running Win7 Pro 64-bit, not sure what your setup is like.
When you say you had no luck, did you mean you couldn't get into download mode or Odin didn't work for you? For Odin to work you have to make sure the ID:COM in the upper left is populated with a number. Otherwise Odin is essentially saying that it doesn't see your phone, most likely due to driver issues.

Thanks for the help! I finally got it to work!

Why would you want the OTA if you already flashed it? Now you may run the risk of soft bricking after accepting the update... Maybe it's just past me at this early hour, but can't figure out why you wanna do this.

posting to save this thread to refer back to later

The reason I wanted to try Kies OTA is because of the missing Market apps and also because I was having lag problems with the flashed version.
Actually everything went smooth after I figured out how to do it.
Unfortunately there are still missing apps, But my phone runs alot smoother.

Z4root on Bell JK4, Froyo 2.2

Hey everyone,
I flashed my SGS i9000m to 2.2 JK4 through using Kie last night. When I tried to use z4root to root the phone temporarily, the application crashed (no damage to the phone, since i can factory reset and wipe). However, from my understanding this app will work on 99% of the phone. So I'm curious and see if any other Bell who upgrade to JK4 have similar problem.
oh, another problem. I dont know why my clock on my SMS is screwed up. Like if you sent me a sms right now, the phone would display it was sent 6 hours ago. anyone know how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance everyone.

It has been said that z4root is not working on the jk4 firmware. RyanZA should be made aware of this.
As for your issue with texts and the timestamp... Are you using Bell or are you unlocked on a different provider?
If your not on Bell you need to install an app from the market that will fix this for you but im not sure what its called...

Thanks yiannisthegreek,
Yea. now i am pretty sure Z4root doesn't work on Jk4. So, so for those who wants to root their phone by Z4root, just wait until RyanZA comes out with a newer update.
and yea, im using FIDO at the moment. Anyone know what is the app for fixing timestamp called ?

sms time fix

z4root isn't working but I was wondering if installing busybox through titanium backup app would unroot the phone. I was able to restore my applications through titanium backup after installing busybox and restoring app does require a root so.... does it count as an unroot?

I'm with bell and z4root with 2.2 JK4 does not work for me either. Crashes after second screen and leaves device in unstable state. However, just rebooting phone is enough. (no factory reset needed).

z4root, JK4
Same here, Bell Vibrant, z4root does not work with JK4 (reboot and phone is OK).

This worked for me:

Very unlikely.... It is no worse than installing some applications, mostly command-line tools (su, busybox).

This method was so quick and easy. Thanks for the suggestion guys/gals.

Baseband change with xrecovery

Hi guys I don't wana use computer. Cause im not at home right now is it possible to change baseband with xrecovery? Cause I can download the file with wifi.
Thanks
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

No it isn't possible. you can only do so through flashtool

I hoped for the same thing. I wish it would have been made possible. But unfortunately it's not going to happen.

sorry man, the way bb flashing is done is via flash mode on the pc - there is no way for xrec to emulate this unfortunately, it needs to be the old fashioned usb-in-a-pc mode. sorry!

Lol it's ok. Wish there was a way people could do it with phone only just like changing roms cause I wana try cm7 and miui but if I don't like the rom means I have to change my baseband again or they should make rom available for all baseband would be awesome

Grab the BB patches that are floating around... you can flash those with xrecovery and will allow you to do exactly what you'd like.

What's BB?

Those patches don't change baseband. As of now, the only possible way of changing bb is through flashtool.

he never once said it did.....
It allows you to keep your current baseband and flash a non compatible rom however, therefore this would be better if her if she has no access to a pc.

Hmm, you're right. Still, I'm assuming BObSlob meant it was possible to change BB using those patches, because the OP's question was quite clear, she wants to switch BB through xrecovery.
If I'm mistaken i apologize in advance.

Your right lol. But I guess I have to use flashtool when I get home tonight. How long does it take to change baseband? And would I lose root?

You can change the BB without changing your FW, so no you will not lose root. But like it was mentioned you can keep your BB and still use those ROMs if you flash the BB patch through XRec.

No, I meant it as a workaround for the issue, which Ive used myself. This essentially provides you a means of keeping your current baseband and making it compatible with any rom.
Think of it as an actually delivered unified baseband that Trip promised almost two months ago.

Changing basebands is possible through custom recoveries such as ClockworkMod. xRecovery does not have the ability to alter anything in the flash memory because we do not have a fully unlocked bootloader.

Please read. Your answer is in the very thread you posted in. You cannot flash BBs without a PC!

If I (or anyone for that matter!) help you, dont be afraid to press THANKS!

OK, read the thread and understand it is not possible unless using a flashtool, any flashtools that work on IMAC, damn bootcamp is broken and been trying to fix for days, no luck so far and hate to have to redo the whole dang thing.

Hi guys! One question, i have a X10a, can i put it a X10i baseband? Because in development forum baseband 67 is only available for X10i-
Cheers.

You can put any baseband on any x10.

Bell Gingerbread Update

Just got a text from bell telling me I could update my phone through Samsung Kies. I'm running Darky's Stable 9.5 right now, do I have to flash stock rom before going for gingerbread?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

most likely unless you use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959806 to trick kies into thinking you got a stock one for your refion etc.

I just got this message too, but i highly doubt its gingerbread. Anyone actually find out what the update is?

I got the same message. Can anyone confirm that it is for Gingerbread?
Hehe, is anyone left using a stock rom? Lol
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Same....
Need some confirmation.

I just received the same text from Bell.
There is a new version of keis to install. Once installed it's showing I have the latest firmware at KC1.
Not sure what this is all about. Hopefully a prelude to gingerbread.

same here , hoping someone here can post what this does for them , im not on stock and not really wanting to find out the hard way what it is.

bell.ca/galaxyupdate
So from reading the information, there is no word on exactly what is being upgraded other than software. From speculation, wouldn't that mean it has to be 2.3 at least.

I just got the same text message so I plugged into Kies. It says this is the latest firmware. I upgraded my Kies last night and I am still on stock firmware (KC1). So the wait continues I guess.

I called Samsung support and was told that they were being flooded by calls over this today and that the notification was for the KC1 update. I've been running KC1 for about a month now... Bell Mobilty Canada slack much?

Are you serious?! That makes me so sad.
*sigh*
What a letdown...
Either way, thanks for the confirmation. Now we all know the reason the text was sent out from Bell. Our only hope now is that they (Bell) is trying to push everyone to update their phones to the latest firmware in preparation for Gingerbread.

KC1 compared to JL2?
Need some advice here. I'm still on JL2 (rooted). Thinking about upgrading to KC1, but I hear that doing so wipes out the root, and it's very difficult to root it again on 2.2.1. I also read that some people find the GPS performance went down with KC1.
So what are the actual advantages of upgrading to KC1? Or am I better off just holding out for Gingerbread?

You're misinformed. Rooting 2.2.1 is just as easy as 2.2. But it doesn't matter because KC1 is still 2.2, not 2.2.1.

KC1 any good?
So what are the advantages of KC1 over JL2?
Can I still apply oneclickroot on KC1 to root it?

Honestly, if you are 100% happy with JL2 I don't think KC1 would be worth upgrading to. Wait for Gingerbread or flash JVK/JVB yourself. I believe there are some fixes in regards to how roaming is handled but there's nothing you would actually notice.

The new update is just a modem upgrade that gives support for using this device overseas. It does wipe out root but superoneclick 1.9.1 reroots it easily.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

i assumed it was for KC1 since i never got any notice from them when it first came out. The KC1 modem apparently uses a fair bit more battery and it supposed to improve using your phone in the US.
JS8 with the JL2 modem has been the best to me so far.

If this is the case I won't bother to update to KC1, JL2 works just fine with my rooted ROM .
Does anyone know if Bell is even testing Gingerbread?

I thought it was bell that is slow with the updates. Doesn't bell add their extra stuff for the i9000m specifically? Whatever the case though, someone's definitely dropping the ball on the updates.

Use my guide but with an appropriate firmware from samfirmware.

Not a hell lot you can do about the download speed. I suspect it might have something to do with hotfile - I get incredibly ****ty speed from hotfile, but not from any other file sharing service.
There should be a few threads lying around in the general section about stock roms. Try downloading from there instead of ****ty hotfile.

Before you flash anything you gotta make sure you have 2 backup plans. One is, of course, the nandroid backup. The other is having a stock firmware file you can flash with Odin in case everything goes to hell.
In my case, I have a JPU stock firmware stored on my home computer and on my work laptop. Every time I screw up so badly everything is FUBAR I go back to JPU and works like a charm.
Ah also, along with the JPU I have a CF-Root flashable file for JPU (just needs to be Froyo specific, not firmware release specific) so I can have root.
That's the only advice that hasn't been given to you already.
In reality, the Galaxy S is pretty hard to really brick. The bootloader may get corrupted but there's almost always a way out.
