Restore original O2 firmware

Hello guys,
I made a terrible mistake and changed the software of my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 using ODIN. I installed an Arabic firmware, and my phone now doesn't support German. I thought it would support German and Arabic together.
So anyway, after I installed this firmware, the Market icon has disappeared (I tried reinstalling it manually, but the .apk file of market has the size 0 KB), and I can't do any updates using Kies. Please guide me to finding any official version of my phone's software. The software is from O2 company in Germany. Is this software available for download at your forum?
Thank you.

How about wild idea - install firmware not for asia, but europe?

Actually your wild idea is good to restore the market thingy... but isn't there a way to have an Arabic and German Swype keyboard? why do I lose Market whenever I install the Arabic pack? (it's not Asia, but specifically Arabic)
Is there a way to add Arabic support to the Europe pack?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

To get ur market back do a system reset thats what a mate had to do to get the market back why i dont know cant hurt tho

I have done the system reset and didn't work. I have done it in too many ways... but no use!

Most likely this fw is supposed to be installed in country where there is no market. Thus it doesnt contain it.

Why not install full lastest one : JPU ?
regards.

-Go Here
-Go to Firmware section
-Go to android section
-Go to i9000 section (you will have to register...)
-once you are here, take i9000AOJP4 (should be O2 Germany firmware Froyo 2.2) and the correct PIT file (803)
-use Odin to flash it (with repartition not checked)

Hi
Here you can find the o2 Firmware, if you can not download from ul.to I can upload it for you to zippyshare.
hxxp://xxx.handy-faq.de/forum/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_forum/173447-samsung_galaxy_s_fw_i9000aojp3_froyo_2_2_o2.html
I got the same Problem, kinda, I flashed my SGS to Jim Panses Rom.
Now I want to flash it back to my o2 Firmware I saved my EFS Folder before I flashed my SGS to the Rom.
So when I flash to the o2 Firmware again is it possible to replace the EFS Folder with my original o2 EFS Folder, so that I can get my SalesCode back, for o2 the SalesCode is "VIA".
Could someone tell me, if the way of my thinking is right?

When you will flash the O2 firmware, your sales code should return to the O2 one
There should be no need to use your EFS backup (but keep it safe anyway!)

Thank you I will try that, the next Days!
Thanks 4 your reply

Thanks a lot guys
Got it ^^

changing from European rom to Arab rom

hello
I have the european rom on my i9000 and would like to change it to the stock arab rom or other non-stock rom that based on the arab rom from many reasons. When i finish to flash it, i have no market and some problems like many close forces etc, im aware that i need to make a factory reset after the flash but it still don't work.
In the past i had the arab rom but since i chanhed it to the european rom i can't go back...
what can i do to change back to the arab rom that will work ok?
Thanks

you can copy paste vending.apk file from European rom to arab rom with root explorer (rooted phone) to system/app folder
and i think jpjpg is very stable with voodoo lagfix

Hi shirhh. What I did was flashed to JPJPA first with pit and re-partition check (I got three files on JPJPA).Then on the phone dialer type *#272*your imei# and change the suitable csc (maybe can try XSG if I'm not wrong). The vending.apk is there, because you are from european rom so the csc was check wrongly and hidden. Do not install anything yet because this method will do hard reset on your phone. Then flash to JPJPG without pit and re-partition if its contain one file only.
Its work for me, hopefully its works for you too. Good luck

I'm wanna to change to JPJPJ and I got to the part when I need change the suitable csc to XSG and I don't have such an option, if it's care my phone is i9000T.

arabic on darky's rom
I'm guessing you want to go to the arabic rom for the use of the arabic language, am I correct, if so why not just flash darky's custom rom version 9.2 that with a darky add on has full arabic support her is the link if you want to try, I would highly recomend it:

If you can get into that part, maybe you can try to check any other than the current one. Just try an error.

Right you want a UK CSC
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.
Rom kitchin has many CSC including UK

I think not. But you can try with adb.

About The Difference Between The Carries Roms
Different from other Samsung devices, all the Israeli carrier roms for the SGS3 are the same!
It doesn't matter which one you download, you get the same settings, apps, MODEM, kernel, recovery - everything is the SAME!
After you download the rom and flash it you can set the CSC of your phone to the carrier you are using (if you want to do that).
For more details how to do that continue reading the guide.
How To Flash Official Roms
Download your selected rom
Double click the .exe file to extract the .tar file
Flash the rom using Odin. If you don't know how - search for it!
You do not need root the flash these roms!!
How To Change The CSC To Your Carrier Settings (OPTIONAL)
If you want to revert back to your carrier settings (bootanimation, garbage apps, etc.), you will need to manually change your CSC.
NOTICE: This action will wipe ALL your data! Including pictures, music, backups, apps, setting.
Launch your stock dialer
Type in the code
Code:
*#06#
This is your IMEI number. Write it down.
Go back to your stock dialer and type in the code -
Code:
*#272*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX#
Where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is your IMEI number.
You will be prompt with a selection of CSC codes. These are your carrier code. Select the one you want:
ILO - Sanny (Clean rom, no junk)
PTR - Orange (Partner)
CEL - Cellcom
PCL - Pelephone
MIR - Hot Mobile (Mirs)
The device will reboot and WIPE ALL YOUR DATA!! (See notice above)
When your device boots you will see all your carrier junk.

Hope its gonna help you - if you have Israeli operator rom and wish to change it to other operator or for your case to SUNNY clean rom then make these steps and you will get your phone without the operator's garbage
1 - Open the dialing screen and type this to get the IMEI code:
*#06#
2 - Write down the IMEI code so you can copy it for later use.
3 - Back to the dialing screen and type the IMEI from step 2 in the following format:
*#272*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX#
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX = replace this with your IMEI
4 - You'll get the following selection screen:
choose one of the operators :
ILO - SUNNY ORIGINAL CLEAN ISRAELI ROM
PTR - ORANGE
CEL - CELLCOM
PCL - PELEPHONE
MIR - HOT MOBILE
After you choose your operator the phone will restart - make sure your battery is full !
NOTE: - once you selecting the operator code all of your DATA will ERASED and LOST!!!!
yeah yeah i know - bad English ;p

In galaxy 3 there is only one ROM for Israeli market. any Israeli operator's ROM you download from sammobile is the same file. The way you choose the right operator for you is the way i mentioned before, Even if you on Israeli ROM you can do those steps and get clean sunny ROM without flashing and etc... (sunny orange cellcom or whatever you choose)

I think the original rom (even in israel) is better then any other ****ty rom out there.. I'm new in android and replaced IOS after 4 years to android. tried so many roms for android and some modification and they all are ****ty and full of bugs (unlike the IOS) . what i am asking for is a good phone to meet my needs which is mosty entertainment needs. games news movies and so on. the original rom is the most stable rom yet !! so dont bother with other roms unless you are bored to death.
Have a great day
and dont get me wrong - i LOVE my SGS3
BTW orange just updated to the last ICS update for the galaxy s3 in last week - they also sent to their customers sms to make an OTA update.

thanks, your english is perfect...
the issue now is that my phone is a Dutch phone - and so is the rom - i bought it in Holland...
now, can i just burn the rom onto my phone and set it to Sunny and "finito" ?
will it work ?
will it update when there are updates ?
thanks once again
---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------
tried to search there for a rom - found nothing...
any direct link you can send ?

"ZeevG" yes you can, just flash using odin and thats it.
to check and be sure just check that your csc is "ilo" after the flash.

my sim card is from cellcom, which one has the best rom cellcom, pelephone or orange, and does it matter if my operator is cellcom and i flash orange rom

"hykhleif" all the operators in israel uses the same baseband, just install the "clean" sunny version (ilo).
it dont metters which rom you use for operator.

I bought mine in germany. And the reason that i flashed israeli rom is hebrew keyboard and calendar localization. And I don't feel any difference between roms. Except software. When I flashed the last UK rom from sammobile, then i got Wifi disconnections. So you never know which rom for you is better.

First post updated with link to the new release and detailed information and instructions!

Thanks firefds for posting the new ROM. I am new to Android a day have not yet rooted. I have few questions:
1. After flashing with Odin and not changing carrier, will my system settings and apps be as they were?
2. Any idea why sammobile would not showing for this firmware or Orange not sending good me SMS to do ODA update? I think I am asking how this firmware cycle works between Samsung, Sunny, and the mobile carriers?
3. A firmware came out about 3 weeks ago in UK that fixes a crackling sound on the phone when listening to audio via the earphone jacket and screen is off. Does anyone know if this new ROM fixes this problem?

[Q] Please help me get the stock rom

Hi Guys,
I unfortunately ****ed my Galaxy y pro, so i had to reflash it via odin but i flash it some strange rom. Now i would like to reflash it with the original one which is also more recent then this one, unfortunately kies is not allowing me to do so. So i need to apply some workarounds and for that i need the original details.
So guys can you please provide me with the PDA/PHONE/CSC for the Czech or at least some western european rom details?
You can acquire the details by entering *#1234# in phone, this will enter the service mode and show the
PDA
PHONE
CSC
Can you post this information?
After that can you please enter *#272*YOURIMEI#
this will write down the PC code can you please post this information also?
Hopefully i will be able to find the latest original rom via ?Check Fus with your details,
thank you very much!

Hi,
I guess there will be one generic for central Europe. I already acquired some details from one GT B5510 sold in CZ, I'm just waiting for the product code.
After that we will see what fus will offer me
but so far I'm using one netherlands rom and it runs fine - only few minor problem which i was also experiencing in the begining when i bought the phone - sd card disconnects and no network but both this issues occurred just once
So maybe at the end I will just stick with the Netherlands ROM, cos anyway it looks completly like the one which I had before with new gui for picking up the calls.

To fix the sd card problem try changing the kernel, I had my phone with that problem and I fixed it with this way. Just look the Doky's thread about kernels
