i need help flashing back to stock bell firmware please

i have been searching for 2 days for the original bell galaxy s jh2 firmware so i can flash my phone back to 100% stock and exchange it for a new one (mine wont boot into recovery with the 3 button combo).
i am looking for the bell version, including all of the pre-installed bell crapware, etc. can anyone provide a link to either an update.zip file or the files needed for odin? i was trying to un-root my jh2 software yesterday morning and couldnt do it, so after a bunch of flashing, and two near brickings i am now on jm6 firmware but now kies wont connect to my phone. all of the drivers are there, and i have uninstalled and reinstalled kies already but my phone will no longer connect.
i downloaded the jh2 files from http://www.samsungflash.com/wiki/I9000 and tried to flash with odin but it left my phone in a bricked state. the files provided were only the pit and pda file and the flash just wouldnt work. i have only been successful with odin when using separate pda, modem, and csc files. any help would be appreciated

When you turn on your phone what does it do exactly? Does it boot into the OS, or just stay on the Samsung screen?
Have you tried using the Bell firmware (JH2) found here. That is the provider file. So if you can find the PDA and PHONE file you like then that file should return it to stock.
Post back with results.

my phone boots up fine, it was completely screwed up yesterday but i actually ended up flashing to the software you linked to. that software doesnt have any of the bell stuff in it.
thanks for trying, though
edit
i forgot to type in the code at the end of those instructions and it hard reset my phone but now the bell stuff shows up. thanks! the only problem is that the software doesnt show up as jh2, but the apps are there. one step closer

If you are to return it to bell in this state, would they really look to see what firmware was flashed to it. Especially if you are returning it because of the 3 button problem? As long as it boots up and they can see you have not broken it, this should be sufficient.
Correct me if I am wrong.

i just dont need the hassle if they notice it is rooted and dont want to take it back.
member Richthofen sent me a link to the files and i used odin to flash back. it is now 100% stock.

That is awesome, glad to see it worked for you. Would you mind linking to the files so others with the Bell brand can do the same?

this is a link to the files needed to use odin to flash back to 100% stock bell firmware. thanks to richthofen for the file

Sorry to revive an old thread but I think this is the ideal spot to put this question. My SGS I9000M is stuck on the boot screen so this will be my first try with ODIN.
I have installed ODIN 4.03, and I have downloaded the above file and unzipped it with 7ZIP. It contained one .tar file. I put my I9000M into downloading mode, launched ODIN and plugged in the phone. It was detected and says com port mapping 1 (COM5) on ODIN. I ticked the One Package option box and selected the .tar in the One Package address box. Already selected were Reboot, Protect OPS and Reset Time (300 ms). I clicked start and a popup said "Check Image Files!!". I clicked okay. The log box to the left indicates "Download Start..." but nothing appears to be happening, and the start button is available to be pressed again.
Did I miss something?
Thanks!
_____________
UPDATE: Okay, Looks like you need ODIN 3, version 1.0, as far as I can tell, so I have installed that, put phone in download mode, plugged it in and ODIN detects is (0(COM5)) There is no One Package option so I went with PDA.
The following appears in the log window:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> dbdata.rfs
The phone screen went blank and is non responsive. There is no apparant change in ODIN. I'll let it sit for a while unless someone can redirect me on this?
Thanks.

Disconnect phone from pc if not done already.
1) restart Odin
2) tick "repartition"
3) choose 512 pit file
4) put phone in download mode, connect phone to pc, click START in Odin
5) Once Odin says "PASS", disconnect phone
6) remove and replace battery
7) In Odin click "reset", untick "repartition", put tar file in "PDA"
8) put phone in download mode, connect phone to pc, click START in Odin
9) Once Odin says "PASS", disconnect phone and just let it reboot
10) Voila, you're back to 2.1 stock
Good luck!

I had black screen after s logo boot.
So I used Odin 7 new to re-flash jk3 the bell version. And when it booted up first time I get mount error and vol + home and power does not work only download mode works. I flash like 15 times same ****. Even used different check marks repartition and boot loader all did not held any results.
Now that I sent it back to bell, I wonder if I had used Oden 1.3 instead of Oden 1.7 if that would have helped at all
I think it's the defective internal sd memory, as my phone is bell phone and I keep reading problems with the internal sd memory.
Do you think it could have been revived or am I right it is defective memory.
So I sent it back

Hello! Problem with ODIN

I recently bought my SGS International version and very pleased with it, in an attempt to improve its performance I tried to install a new ROM.
The process of hacking the root user I didn't encounter any issues, however, when I tried to flash using ODIN it didn't seem to work. I selected the files, connected SGS (debugging mode), the software recognized the phone (yellow bar with com port), but I click to start received the following:
<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
It seemed to be stuck on file analysis.
Perhaps the ODIN version I'm using isn't up to date? With that in mind can anyone give me a download link? (had trouble finding one).
Also, I'm not sure if it's related or not, but Kies refuses to recognize my device, it's getting stuck with the message connecting.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

uncheck the debugging mode.

you must boot into a special mod named download mode.
to do this, you have to power down your phone, take the battery out for a few sec, remove sim and external sd card,then plug in the battery and press volume down button, keep it pressed, press home button, keep it pressed, then press power button until you see an android robot with a shovel. it will say:downloading... and below: do not turn off target!!! then you can open odin, select the files you want to download then connect the phone (important!) then you can start flashing.
hope this helps.

u dont need to take the battery out to get in to download mode!

you know just for dischargement and safety, this will be 100 percent safe if odin doesnt screw up.

Thank you all for your replies!
However. I run odin while the phone is download mode, I have the digging android while I do the above

Odin 1.7 is on the forum or google/search .

No offence but I think you haven't got a clue what your doing. Best to research some more and actually understand what your trying to achieve.

[Q] Tab won't flash kernel

Hello,
I recently flashed the Overcome ROM/Kernel (I'm still quite a noob though). After call volume issues I tried to flash the stock rom using the files from samfirmware.
I can flash the PIT successfully, it's when I try to flash the PDA file (either overcome kernel or stock firmware) I get this:
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> zImage
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Can anyone help me or am I now the not so proud owner of a expensive and stylish paperweight?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First let me get this right. You would like to go back to sgt stock rom after flashing the overcome kernel?.
As long as you can boot into download mode. There is still hope. If odin is giving you problems try Heimdal to flash zimage modem and other files from the samfirmware archive. If you still want to use odin. Try doing a factory reset and a wipe from recovery (vol up and power).
Just a word of caution samfirmware roms might have signed bootloaders. Which can be a hinderance for flashing custom roms in the future.

Heimdal doesn't want me to click start (it's greyed out).
I've put the pit, pda, modem and CSC files in and it's still greyed. Am I doing something wrong? I installed the drivers as stated in the read me.
Edit: Got a bit of life out of it, when I uncheck everything but PDA it allows me to click start but throws: Failed to access device. Error: -12

Then Try a factory reset and a wipe from the Recovery mode. Wipe it clean and start fresh.

I couldn't get into recovery.
I've just changed the driver to the unsigned ones (not the originals as stated in readme) and it seems to be working at the moment....
fingers crossed

It wouldn't go past the galaxy tab screen so I tried again and the same I get an image of a phone, exclamation mark in a triangle and a pc. I think this is like download mode as I can still access via odin which allows me to flash the PIT and get download mode back.
It seems a problem with the zimage process, I've tried 3 different versions with no luck

Thing seems dead now. It made a loud beep when I plugged it in to the PC but that's it

Plug in your wall charger and see if Tab charges. If it charges fully charge the tab and try a RESET. You might want to try ROTO ROMs at development section first to get your tab started before going into any trials with stock ROMs.

Personally i use odin. Find it easier.
If you followed the instructions for overcome, clockworkmod recovery is installed by default
All you have to do is copy the Overcome rom zip file (200+meg) to your ext sd card.
Boot to clockworkmod recovery (power+up buttons)
Clear all caches
Select install rom from sd card
Choose overcome zip file
Install
Reboot kernel is installed with rom
______________________
Overcome 1.2.1 at 1.4GHz
Quadrant 2290

it doesn't want to charge, it seems it can't draw enough power from USB to even run off that.
When plugged into the wall I get the phone, triangle, computer screen and it constantly restarts after less than a second.
Think I'll just have to take it back to PC world and act dumb (like the staff)

Left plugged into the wall over night, the battery is still dead.
I'll faf around a bit more today and if no progress I'll just return it to the store.
Thanks for your help

Tired plugging into rear usb and after a while it turned on and went to the phone - triangle - computer screen (some sort of alternate download mode) flashed PIT with odin, this enabled me to actually get into download mode (or see the galaxy tab logo til the battery dies if I want to). Then flashed rest of the files with Heimdall, still the tab doesn't allow me to turn on. Thinking it might be due to low power I plugged into wall charger, usually when the tab is charging when turned off you see the battery image with the green level indicator, all I see is an empty battery with the sort of loading thing in the middle of it (though it isn't going round). Still doesn't seem to want to charge (or turn on) is the charging process governed by the kernel?

Just called PC World support, told them I turned it off last night to charge and when I turned it on it just showed the galaxy tab screen. They said just take it instore and they'd swap it

Urgent help needed! S7 edge stuck in recovery mode

Hello everyone. Was trying to update my S7 Edge to the latest firmware, India. However. the phone got stuck in recovery mode. Cant even switch off the phone. Tried to reinstall in recovery mode once but that too failed.
Also the screen is on and the phone is warm for mre than 5 hrs. I am afraid some internal hardware might get damages. Its stuck on the green screen which reads :An error has occurred whil;e updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in smartswitch PC software.
The service centre are closed for two days due to Ganpati festival here. Need your urgent help.

Is this "recovery screen" cyan/blue? If yes then it's a odin recovery mode.
Just hold volume down + home + power until Your phone force reboots to odin mode.
But. If that doesn't do anything or still shows You that recovery screen, then just open odin on Your PC and connect Your phone. It should find Your phone anyway. Now all You have to do is flash any kind of image if Your phone has working boot.img and system.img. If not then reflash whole firmware and You should be fine

OK. Never realized a thumbs up thanks works more than a written and acknowledged thanks. Have done it.
Have been going through some tutorials. Just have a query whether to add CSC file or Home CSC file to odin folder?

So finally tried installing through odin. But received a fail message. Any suggestions? Received the following msgs.

Sorry. I was busy.
Okay!
Tap on AP in odin and add Home image and then tap on start. Home image should be around 3-4GB.
Edit: make sure that You have newest odin and proper firmware for Your phone.

Thanks again. I did try uploading all four files. AP, BL, CP and Home CSC.
So after tapping on AP i should add AP file right which is 4.2 GB? Didnt get any home image file.
Sorry for the silly questions. I am a complete noob in all this.
Update: Finally managed to restore via smartswitch. Thank you everyone

I'm happy You fixed it .
Just in case if You'll need extra help later. (Or anyone else)
Inside the zip file that You download from sammobile should be couple of files. One of them should be named Home_something.tar.md5 - this one goes to AP.
Then You should press start and let it do its work. But if Smartswitch works for You then no need to worry.

Just to inform you if there is a next time, try another USB port and/or a different USB cable (ie. the original one)

same issue
i have pretty much the same issue but mine is stuck via a bad rom. the problem I have now is my computer will not recognize it when I plug into usb. any ideas?

Cant flash stock 6.01 - needs PIT file!?

Hi
I have been trying to fix my sisters 910f and have managed to flash several custom roms via twrp but the problem of black screen when rebooting and having to pull the battery for 10 mins to get a response from the power button remains.
So I have tried two different stock 6.01 ROMs via ODIN and both fail after a few seconds with a message saying it cant find the PIT file. I know messing with PIT can be dangerous, but I have no option. Where do I find this, I have looked on SamMobile but not found it there, or here on xda.
EDIT
I found this tread and a PIT file for the 910F but now Odin says
Re-Partition operation failed.
EDIT2
it seemed to have been ok with the pit eventually, but then it now says
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
Anyone?

Thanks mate, I will give it a go.
I had actually downloaded two versions of 6.01 for the uk, one was uploaded in April, the other in June... both have this same issue.
I'm thinking there must be a hardware problem.

Put your phone in download mode and read the first line on top left, it should say 910F. If it doesn't that may be your problem.
In either case you can try the emergency software recovery and initialization from Smart Switch from your pc/laptop .. all you need is a good internet connection and write down your device S/N where you can find this on the back of your phone (beneath the battery).
1. Download and install SmartSwitch from Samsung web
2. Run SmartSwitch from your PC/Laptop
3. On the upper right corner of SmartSwitch you'll find "More" option and click that
4. Choose "Emergency software recovery and initialization" and it will open a new window
5. Click on "Device Initialization" tab
6. Enter your phone Model name... which i pressume SM-N910C and then click "Search"
7. Now enter your device S/N and then click "OK"
8. A new dialog box will show up, click "OK"
9. Another dialog box which will say about initialized version... click "OK"
10. Yes, another dialog box which say that software update and initialization for galaxy note 4 will now start, the "OK" button is greyed out so you can't click it just yet.
11. Put your device to Download Mode
12. Connect your device to your PC/Laptop
13. The "OK" button will turn blue then click it and follow the rest of the procedures.
14. Once it finished, your device will reboot.
All this process will take time depend on your internet connection, good luck...

I've tried that. Kies downloads the ROM then says it's list connection with the phone... And that I should reconnect the phone and try again. The phone doesn't boot at all now, all I can do is get to download mode.

Well, sounds like defective hardware

Just take out the battery from the phone. There is a label inside the phone, for the model number right there. Did you check that the phone's "reactivation lock" is off?
