Save Firmware

Hi everyone,
I Want to roll back to the stock firmware... So a friend a mine is coming this evening, and he hasnt flashed his phone. So my question is, how can I flash his firmware on my phone?
TIA
hiraj

there is no need to... just download stock firmware from samsungfirmwareworld.com and flash with odin or try this...it worked for me..
1. connect ur fone with kies...
2. open regedit.
3.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\X]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000DDJF3/I9000ODDJF3/I9000DDJF3/I9000DDJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKAINU"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000DDJF3/I9000ODDJF3/I9000DDJF3/I9000DDJF3"
"DEVCONINFO"=""
X = Device Number
4. then when you go back to kies and update firmware.. u will c upgrade option turned on.. just press it and u r back on original...

I know i did that before but I want to roll back to the real stock Ifi sell my phone my customer won't be satisfied since it s kinda unofficial
Does any one know how I can save the rom?

Ok I tried what you d said but unfortunately it didnt work, (i think because i have a european i9000)
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can get back to the original Dutch stock rom with the telegraaf app and fileindex app?

You may want to look into using ROM manager on your friends phone to make a backup and then do a restore on your phone using the same program. Mind you: I don't know the implications considering serial numbers, product numbers and IMEI of using this route. Maybe someone else can chime in on that and be of help.
Good luck (and who reads De Telegraaf anyway )

First of all thanks for your tip! I hope someone else can add some more info about the implications.
And I dont read the telegraaf XD but I want to roll back to my original rom, my gps sucks right now, and with the original dutch firmware it worked great :S
I still think there must be a way to get the original dutch firmware through KIES with the right changes in Regedit can someone confirm this???

2.2 update keeps losing baseband

Hey guys,
I followed and read so many threads but I dont know what to do anymore.
I flashed to the 315_12332_00 firmware on my Streak that I bought unlocked in the Netherlands.
Baseband now is GAUSB1A131500EU build 12332 and everything works!! (I did not write done the original 1.6 baseband number so I dont know what that was)
Butt......when I rebooted my Streak the GSM/3G services quit.
If I check the settings it now says baseband unknown!!!!! (?)
There is no way to get the GSM/3G functions back except for flashing the 315_12332_00 firmware again!
After first boot it's ok but after a reboot my baseband is gone again!
I tried a lot to downgrade but I can not get it to work :-(
I wanted to flash to the original state 1.6 and wait for my OTA update or flash to Streak_309_0_00 firmware.
How can I make this happen?
Although WiFi works the device really feels bricked right now, saved a long time to buy it :-(
Someone please, please help me
Kind regards Passie

Me also i have the same problems no wifi

you mentioned u reflashed, but did u try a factory reset yet? that fixed some stuff for me

Well, my problems are not WiFi but GSM related.
Mut may still be because we flashed wrong firmware....

i would try the 309 update and a factory reset after flashing it
you may also need to flash the 309 recovery image before

here you can find how to flash and here you can find all fw from samsung. But I don't recommend you use GB firmwares, they are development versions and have some bugs. The most stable and usable fw is XXKB3

I am from INDIA and can i use the firmware XXKB3

You absolutely can. The Indian firmware is only because of Hindi or telegu etc language packs and yeah no one speaks modern Hindi anymore it's all English spelt Hindi. Like 'ye kya hai ' so XXKB3 is your perfect bet. Also the default language is Russian but at startup you can choose english or it does it automatically by selecting your region from SIM. Gl and safe flash

Successfully flashed to FW KB3.
The issue I am facing is GPS lock its taking around 20 sec to get lock and its not steady after few seconds the lock is getting released..Please help.

Go to the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125387
Scroll down to ASIAN ROMs...choose which one you want to flash...go ahead and it should get restored to I5801.....

Hi
What do you mean?
Flash the same way as we flash roms?
Coz I would be in download mode, so how come can I have apps running?
Even I need i5801 during boot, as I dropped my cell in water, its working fine now but I can't hear during a call or play a song (I mean things are not audible & so I need to contact Samsung care center) so need either ddjp2 wid bootloader or the file you provided.
Thanks in advanced.

^I guess what he meant was that close all the background applications on your PC/Laptop before initializing the process.

DDJP2 on samfirmware is wid a bootloader.
Anyway thanks for that small file (boot.tar)
Can I flash only the wanted portions of a rom after removing the rest using 'total commander' always.

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
