Is it possible for someone to upload stock kernel file for 2.2.1 XXJPY (kernel version is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1). Version that is flashable via odin, not cwm version.
I am about to flash my kernel with custom one, but would like to have stock kernel near me, just in case that something goes wrong...
Subquestion is:
is it even possible to reflash to stock kernel via odin once you fot custom one (speedmode to be precise)? I think i read somewhere on forum that it is not entirely possible. Does someone have any expirience with this?
Samfirmware (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm) has all stock firmwares.
Yes of course you can flash back to stock, you just need to make sure that lagfixes are disabled if you enabled one.
But honestly, I'm 100% sure you won't go back to stock after flashing a custom kernel or rom, it's just that much better.

Thank you very much.
But, as I can see, on this page there are whole roms to flash, I wanted only kernel files. Could kernel be downloaded somewhere?
I'm on stock rom 2.2.1 with CF-root kernel.
Haven't seen a stock only-kernel when I searched for it recently on this forum.
I decided now to download the full stock rom from samfirmware instead which I can go back to in case Kies won't allow me to update to Gingerbread. I figured there's no big difference whether I flash a ROM (which includes the kernel) or just the kernel, the effort is the same.
I just learned that returning to stock ROM (kernel) will be little more difficult for me because my phone is T-mobile branded!
If I flash to a stock firmware does that mean kies will then recognise my firmware as offcial so I can download new updates through it. Thanks

You can always use SpoofFW to flash to your original firmware

No as its not the firmware that came with the phone nor its Kies update .
As post above only method once you use Odin is either a backed up copy of original firmware and yes a few backed up or spoof fw .

Thanks for your help what do you mean by 'spoof' fw

Ok, this is my real problem. JJE might know solution to it...
Before i start flashing my kernel, ROM etc... I would like insurance that if in a couple of months something dies in my SGS, like speaker or something, I can go to repair shop and have guarantiee.
For that I would have to reverse all changes to virginly clean T-mobile branded ROM.
As I understand, to do that i would have to flash it via Odin with 3 files (PDA, PHONE and CSC).
Currently, when I type *#1234# in phone I get:
PDA - I9000BOJS5
PHONE - I9000XXJPY
CSC - I9000GCROJS4
so I presume that are the files version that must be flashed in Odin.
I managed to find all files except CSC code (for Croatian T-mobile 2.2.1 ROM). Couldn't find it anywhere.
Is it possible to put some Multi CSC and then later change it to right one ( I9000GCROJS4) with spooffw?
Or there is another way to find/backup/extract CSC from my current configuration.
Or another way to get back to stock branded ROM if anything goes wrong?
I can do nandroid backup because I cant get to CWM because i dont have 2e recovery (that is one of reasons I want to flash to another kernel, to get 3e and CWM).
Please help!

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
megaupload.com/?d=OYHZW0WX
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.
hello
i have now the litening 1.5
and i didn't backed up my stock rom
there is a way to back to stock rom now ?
my phone from clove.uk
(i know that it might be at www.samfirmware.com but don't know what to search....)
thanks
and sorry for the newbie question
Just flash KF2 in odin again (presuming thats the firmware you were on before litening rom) and you will be back on stock firmware with all your apps and data in tact.
do u mean this one ?
I9100XXKF2 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.3 2011 June MULTI - CSC - OXAKF2 ?
and how can i be sure that this was my firmware ?
as i said ... my phone from clove.co.uk bought it on 9/6/2011 if it help
Hi I've byen wondering the same thing.
I flashed my phone before taking notice or backup of anything and so haven't a clue which versions my phone came with.
It is great that all the stock stuff is available but does not help me much as I have no clue whether, whatever I flash will be the same as what the phone came with...
I suppose that it is too late to think about that and not possible to find out exactly which combinations the phone came with from emei or serial no. or something like that..
by the way
if my friend bought the galaxy s II from clove 2 weeks after i did
it should be same firmware ?
(he didn't root it and flashed it yet....
then he still with the stock rom , it can help me ?
You can flash back to KE7 stock. This has been available via the official KIES Samsung channel.

and how i can really know that this is what i had before i flashed the litening 1.5 ?
and what about the kernel ?
should i need to do something about it ?
At the end of the day I don't think it matters what firmware you go back to as they are all pretty much the same with no major changes. If you are in the UK then it probably came with KE7 as that is the latest official ROM for this area. Litening ROM 1.5 is based on KF2, so flashing stock KF2 won't do any damage.
Before flashing anything do a backup just in case, but if you flash any PDA in odin none of your data will be wiped.

Would This Work ("Workaround" to Receive Latest Kies Updates Where Not Available)?
Hey everyone,
So, I have a Galaxy S2 on Virgin Mobile Canada, and in Canada, the latest firmware/kernel was KG2, and we all know that KG2 is slightly old, compared to KH3 (or higher, I'm not sure atm) in Europe.
Now, we all know that Europe is the first to receive OFFICIAL updates to the latest firmware/kernel via Samsung Kies.
What I'm thinking is that I can change the "Region Code" on my device, to 'trick' Kies into thinking I'm located in Europe, and then it will deliver to me the latest OFFICIAL firmware/kernel update. After updating, I can install the stock KG2 modem for Bell/Virgin (if you're located in a different country, just use your local modem/baseband) via Odin. Then I can use CF-Root Kernel to root my device, then revert back to stock.
This way, I have a Galaxy S2 with the latest official firmware/kernel, a modem that still works perfectly with my provider/network, and root, with no yellow triangle!
However, I don't wish to mess anything up, so I haven't tried this yet. Do you guys think that it can work, and is a viable option instead of waiting for official updates to come to my region? Can anyone maybe try this and post their results/findings (or maybe someone has already done this?)? Also, would all apps like "Samsung Apps" and the Android Market still work properly, as in for my region? What other problems could I possibly run into? I'm mostly concerned about the Market...
I got my S2 free ! from Orange UK 5 days ago, love it, what an upgrade from my 18 months used X10 .
Anyway they do what you want with the X10 so I suppose it can be done with S2 though I dont know for sure.
I used to follow the X10 forum (here now) though I left my X10 stock and was happy with it but I rooted this the 3rd day already and unlocked the simlock ready for my Holiday next week = super low cost local data (50p uk per gig).
What a great device this is !!
Or you can just tell kies to stuff it and flash roms via odin.
Once you update with kies, changing the modem will mean you wont automatically get new updates anyway, as it wont recognise the firmware combination.

So, you're saying that using Odin would be much easier?
Also, I've heard that the KH3 modem works really well with Bell/Virgin, but incase I need to revert, I can always use Odin to flash the KG2 modem while keeping my KH3 kernel/firmware, right?
So, if I just download the Europe KH3 firmware from "http://samfirmware.com", then I just use Odin to flash it, and I'm done? Will it wipe any of my data? Also, would the European firmware work in Canada?

If you have the i9100T You need to use one of the T stock modems or your wifi/bluetooth/data wont work very well/at all (so i hear), but yes you can mix and match rom+kernel and modems from different releases without any problems.
As far as getting a rom, grab a non wipe version from this thread and you should keep everything.

I have the i9100M. I have heard great reports of the KH3 modem with it, so I'm pretty confident it'll work fine.
So, I just download the KH3 files from that link, and then flash via Odin?
Is it a must to flash the CSC as well, or can I leave that out?

The M is fine to use any modem/rom, it will change the model code to just i9100 though, might be changed back by flashing the stock firmware though.
Yes flash via odin.
No you dont need to flash the CSC unless you get problems, but you might as well, the worst that can happen is that you need to manually enter your APN settings.
So i want my Phone back to Stock Firmware and Recovery for Nordic Phones (Norway). Does anyone have that? Cause i dont want Root/Custom Rom and Recovery anymore. Please send me a link to the Stock PDA with the stock Recovery. Important seriously EVERYTHING is reset to its Stock as it came when it is fresh. Thank you

A few questions about getting back to stock
My device is curretly like this:
N9005
Knox 0x1
TWRP recovery
Stock Kernel
Stock ROM 4.4.2
I would like to return completly to stock. I know I won't be able to be Knox 0x0 again but I want the stock recovery, kernel and ROM.
My question is: can I simply restore the firmware in Kies to get back to stock (including the recovery)?

You can try, but I doubt that Kies won't let you back to stock since your recovery has been modified.
The easier way is using Odin. Download full stock firmware for your device, and flash it via Odin. No data will be lost.
You can use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to find and download the correct stock firmware for your device.
i am unable to get the official firmware for my note 3 SM-N9005 whose Baseband version is N9005XXUGBOJI and Build number is LRX21V.N9005XXUGBOK6 so please help me find the official firmware and its stock firmware
Baseband is modem not firmware .
Go to sammobile or samsung-updates and find your model .
Select your country and network .

go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/ and select the country of the mobile and if u dont know it then download a app called Phone INFO *Samsung* from the playstore and go to the CSC code tab on that app and look for the original CSC code field (it should be a 3 letters or something) and find that code in the link above in the country selection field and download
Mod edit: Link removed.
found my country is familiar with this modem:
i9500xxuhoc5
Israel (Cellcom) 5.0.1 I9500XXUHOC5
or
I9500XXUHOI1
I want to download the full rom and then extract only the modem and flash it
is it possible? how to do it?
found the download link but when I extract all I have is 1 file:
tar.md5
thanks so much!!
Hey are you referring to the official full rom/firmware downloaded from sammobile.com?
I know this sounds ridiculous, but I got around my modem issues by installing the official rom/firmware from the above website (thus installing the proper modem), then flashing everything I wanted from there (TWRP, custom rom, xposed, etc.)
(I couldn't find a mirror for my exact modem...... :s)
Hope this helps

Hi sorry I'm unaware of a rom named "infules v4", but I'd first would go flash stock OFW just to ascertain that its a software/modem fault, rather than a hardware fault.
For instance, me being in Australia and having an Optus sim card, I flashed the firmware package with the XXUHOJ3 Modem in it (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62513/I9505XXUHOJ3_I9505OPSHOJ1_OPS/).
Assuming you downloaded: (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57455/I9500XXUHOI1_I9500OJKHOI1_CEL/);
Open up ODIN and load the firmware to PDA/AP (depending on which version of ODIN you've got).
From there you can root, flash twrp, install "infules v4", and whatever other goodness you like
Note: Just whatever you do, make sure you do a nandroid backup prior
