Hey guys,
I have looked around here and mainly found peoples topics for the Galaxy S i9000T who are from a different country, need different firmware and have differently branded phones, hence this topic:
I have purchased a Telstra branded (AUSTRALIAN) Samsung Galaxy S.
BASEBAND VERS: I9000TDVJH3
KERNEL VERS: 2.6.29
BUILD #: ECLAIR.DVJH3
----------
From simple browsing I have determine 'TEL' or 'DV' just means TELSTRA (and T can also mean this). If looking at 'J' by itself it can be interpreted as OCTOBER 2010 (when i got the phone), but not sure what H3 is....or if it is read as JH3..
My plan is to jump onto a nice compatable version of Froyo 2.2, however I have NO IDEA which is the best and closest firmware to download and in case of any stuff-ups or compatability issues, if i need to claim my phone under warranty, I want to be able to flash back to stock firmware, which is this Telstra JH3 crap, and have no idea where I can find that.
My biggest gripe is nopt being able to have the FREEDOM to remove/uninstall/move certain LOCKED apps despite trying with various android apps and while i'm rooting/flashing, I thought I might as well get 2.2 since the "proposed" release date in Australia for it, and probably likely release by Telstra will be in December, or so I am told...screw that.
Can someone help me and direct me to the most appropriate version of firmware to download and, if available, the original stock firmware (if it has been replicated by anyone with the same phone as me?)
Thanks

I've PM'd some Aussies to get attention to the post as i have nowhere else to turn to!
currently there are no safe Froyo 2.2 yet
even the original release in Europe got recalled, wait until mid November, then we might finally see some progress
for now just iron out whatever is bugging you with the current fixes, and live happy until Froyo comes out
is that I9000T a 900 band model or 850 band model ?

The Telstra I9000T is a 2100/850 Mhz model.
Yeah, OK...I'll wait til mid November, only a couple of weeks away...
Until then, what can I do to get the best/accurate/most reliable 2.1 (UNBRANDED) that will still work 100% on the 2100/850MHz bands? I want to be able to delete ALL the crap that is apparently "system locked" apps from the phone...

i have i9000t latin america versión
and i have made this flash "[HOWTO] Froyo FW I9000XXJPM: Upgrade via Odin, Root, Recovery 2e, Lagfix!"
with a unlocked csc from canada
first of all I made a backup with the rom manager, because i cannot find anywhere the galaxy s firmware of my t model
maybe you can do the same
so whats the optus ones? just i9000? funnily enough im on jg3 with optus.. where as the op is on jh3.. my phone was also delivered in mid oct 2010.
So maybe I'll just try rooting the phone to de-brand it (keeping on 2.1) then when a stable official froyo 2.2 comes out, hopefully MID NOV, just update to that?

Rooted the phone using auto method from the tutorial on these boards with ease, installed Titanium Backup which downloaded the latest or most compatable busybox (1.16 for me). I have managed to delete some "locked" apps, but a lot of Telstra's BIGPOND apps remain (downloads, movies, sport, etc) - they are much harder to find when browsing the list appLIST in TBackup - I jsut got the free version, but impressed with how much easier it has been to customise even still, as a branded phone.

@roosta...im a noob, plz can u tellme the step to step guide i soo wanna get rid of telstra apps and i wanna completely debrand the telstra galaxy s phone without installing any lag fixs like voodoo etc, i just want to instal the original eclairs or froyo from samsung for its galaxy s i9000, but im not sure how to go about because i have the 850mhz next g galaxy s from telstra. Can you help me , thanks in advance
Hi mate, as the reply I made above states, i used the galaxy S "root" tutorial,. i havent debranded hthe phone, but i have been granted rights or access to delete specific apps I dont want, so follow that. I won't FULLY debrand the phone only because I havent got the telstra stock firmware to download and REINSTATE at a later date (if i needed to for warranty purposes)
RoOSTA
@roosta, i wud really appreciate if u cud post the link, i cannot find the thread u mentioned in your reply. and secondly any idea when telstra wud be releasing 2.2 for sgs. cheers

Hi mate,
Is there any chance you can upload your stock rom, I stupidly flashed my i9000t without fully understanding the 850mhz network and now I am stuck with a custom rom and no way to access the nextG network.
If there is a way and I just missed something, please let me know.
Kindest regards,
All you need to do is root the phone which you did, and then get hold of Titanium Backup. Use that to uninstall the junk that Telstra pre-installed. But before you do anything use Titanium to make a full Backup just in case. From what I gather your phone is exactly the same as the American AT&T captivate so whatever roms/fixes they use you can use on your phone. If you notice a lot if not all phones from AT&T usa work fine on telstra as they both use 850mhz (NexG rebranding) while the rest of the world like Optus/voda/whoever uses 900mhz. 850mhz is actualy better as it penetrates walls and buildings better but problem is that only 3 Telcos that i know use it is AT&T, Vodafone NZ and Telstra so they can be expensive for data. But on a better note you can use your phone on any network as it also has 2100mhz(very congested) 3G too.
Always willing to help out a fellow aussie here you go mate

Hey Roost,
Just wanted to check in and see whether you had any luck mate? As far as the GTalk thing goes I had absolutely no idea about that, but sounds like your only choice here is to flash back to stock Telstra 2.1 and then redo your modifications and reflash to your custom ROM.
I agree with you completely in that the delay for Telstra updates is ridiculous, but this has always been the case. Even right back to WinMo 6.5 on the TP2 and TD2, they've always been three or four months behind the trend. To best of my knowledge there's still no news on Froyo yet, which is just ****ful.
I'll keep checking your post to see if you turn anything up. Hopefully you do and it's manageable. Good luck mate.

Hey all,
Just updating: As per another thread on this board - Telecom NZ have released Froyo 2.2 available via kies. Using registry, i spoofed Kies into thinking my phone was i9000T from NZ, so have since updated to 2.2 wiuth no issues;
For me, no lag fix needed, swype works perfectly, all gps/maps work fine with accuracy and 850 band fully functional. I'd also recommend doing this ahead of Tesltra AU since i've gone from about 15+ useless LOCKED system banded apps to TWO on Telecom NZ; one being internet and the other for 'account status', so very happy with the recent update...

I think TNZ have pulled their 2.2, at least that's the last update I read a few days ago.
I've got an I9000T as well, and am on Telstra. I've flashed Docs V4 JPU ROM and it's working great on the 850 band.
So it looks like the JPU CSC does support the NextG frequencies
Do you think you might be able to list some of the useless telstra branded apps you removed? im having trouble knowing whats what the way its itemised and named in Titanium Backup.
auldar could you link to the ROM you are using at please.
So I own the Telecom NZ version of the Galaxy Y. The only difference this phone has to the other version is that it supports the 850mhz 3G band in conjunction with the standard 2100mhz band.
I have managed to root the stock rom the phone came with (DOKK3 2.3.6), and I wanted to install Creeds Rom 3.5. I wiped the phone, flashed the rom and restarted, but my camera didn't work. I'm now back on stock DOKK3 (lucky I made a backup, because I can't find the original firmware anywhere else).
Is this because of the radio/baseband? It is currently DOKK3. Does it need to be anything specific? Would flashing an international radio disable the 850mhz 3G band?
Thank you for listening to all my questions

You're from Cologne! How cool. I'll check out that link, and yes, my phone is a prepaid carrier branded one. However I haven't read anything about roms for it because it's only sold in New Zealand and there are probably only like 10,000 of them out there.
Thanks!
Don't suppose you have a flashable version of your DOKK baseband I could download? I made the stupid mistake of flashing my phone with an international version after I bricked it and didn't make a backup. Now it's not showing the XT network anymore.

Hey Ketchup,
I also have the Telecom NZ galaxy y and have experienced the same issue regarding the camera, and the accelerometer is also out by 90 degrees. However I did not make a backup of the stock rom
Can you please please please upload your copy of the stock rom so that I can download it? It would be very much appreciated as right now my phone is nearly unusable :crying:

Starweaver1 emailed me a link to a site where you can download the ODIN files for the original Telecom firmware. There has also been a revised firmware version released in September(?) of 2012 that features an updated lockscreen similar to the galaxy s3's. I might upload it here soon if you guys want.
Hey guys, long time reader first time poster!
Having to do so as I have trouble with my Motorola Defy running Pikachu edition. I purchased the defy as a vodafone NZ phone (so should be 900mhz extended) however all the 900mhz basebands I have tried in the baseband switcher do not get me a signal when outside of the city's (Auckland) 2100mhz coverage. I can retrieve SMS briefly when I am on the Thailand 900/2100 baseband.
My first question is, am I doing something wrong? has anybody else in New Zealand had this issue with a device for the correct network?
My second question is - without the original packaging is there ANY other way of telling if my radio chipset is 850mhz or 900mhz or the extended network coverage? It has a red camera if that helps anyone offer information?
Thanks for any advice!
I have the same problem after moving to cm9.
I use Central Europe 3.4.x here but need an answer for next trip out of Auckland.
Vodafone is supposed to be 900/1800 gsm 2g and 900/2100 umts 3g.
EDIT : On one of my defys boxes (not sure which one ) it says :
WDCDMA 850/2100 GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Hope that helps, I'll let you know if I work it out but I'm rarely out of town

Hey mate, Fellow NZ'er here from Auckland.
Actually had this problem for the first time the other day using CM10 not the pikachu rom.
I ended up switching my baseband to the Australia 900/2100 mhz one and problems were solved but before that i did use the central europe one mentioned above. (not sure what options you have on your current rom however)
go onto "gsmarena" website and look up the motorola defy and you can see all the specifications.
sorry cant post links yet until i have 10 posts made

Hey guys thanks for all the info so far! I'll be honest I tried the Australia Optus one, amongst every single one and honestly getting nothing?

Maybe its time to revert back to the stock sbf using rsdlite, root again, then flash the rom of your choice eg Pikachu last build.
Because reverting back to the stock settings is possibly the easiest way to solve this problem of yours.

Hi Naley, Thanks heaps for your reply! As I will google what you are talking about tomorrow when I get a chance, but to be honest I have mostly played/flashed SGS and am new to this Defy... I purchased it 2nd hand with CM7 or the likes already on it (can't remember now)... so don't have any backup of original VFNZ rom etc - am I still able to return to original? I am more than happy to do so if you can point me in the right direction?
Basic guide to Flashing roms
Well first of all, before you do anything at all, here is the Defy wiki page. This should give you all the information you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy
1) You need to know what to do if you screw up the rom flashing process and get a boot loop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Now you just have to select the correct "SBF " file.
For me I will use the GB (great britain) or Uk (united Kingdon) SBF files.
And there should be a guide on the wiki page OR the sbf page which will tell you how to do it.
Learn this and install the "rsdlite" software on your computer before you even think about doing anything to your phone
2) Now because you are already rooted and using CM7, the hard part is over.
To flash a new rom it is the same process as any android phone, with CM7 just hold down power button and reboot to recovery. (manual recovery is explained on the wiki page)
3) Find out what lens you have (green or red)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116694
4) Rom selection - I'm sure i can leave you to finding the rom of your choice.
Just follow the instructions for the specific rom that you want according to your lens type.
NOTE: Green lens = Froyo Kernal, Red Lens = GB Kernal & Defy+ builds.
5) Main steps for flashing a rom
1) Boot into recovery
2) Wipe data/cache & Dalvik cache
3) install zip from sd card (Rom & Google apps)
4) Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Reboot (This can take up to 5mins with some roms, if longer just pull battery and reboot and it will boot properly the second time)
Maybe a lot of this stuff you already know from your SGS days, but just thought i would have a more or less complete guide just in case

One last note about the original stock Android 2.2 sbf rom.
Its buggy as hell.
You really want to avoid it, but the 2.1 is okay so if you downgrade then go to the Android 2.1 Sbf.
Defy bootloader is locked, so read the wiki (and previous post) cos its all a bit more complicated than most other phones!
Your already set up with clockwork by the sound of it though, so sbf will only be used in case of brick.
I've seen a telecom sbf, the only nz sbf afaik... No Vodafone or 2degrees available. So, if you do a factory reset and it's a Vodafone rom, could you please create (and upload) a nandroid backup!!
I don't have one, my 'stock' is Nordic froyo. It'd be nice to set up a kiwi stock if I sell one of my defys.
I don't recall having the acountryside connection trouble with ms2ginger or CM7.2 (a very nice rom, smooth and well tested.).
CM10 (based on jelly bean) Will be best once the last bugs are out.
MB525 Quarx2k CM10: 30th July
Vodafone NZ don't offer motorola phones at all due to there being no local service centre so there will be no vodafone build.
Telecom do have the defy but it runs on a different network so I think we can omit telecom roms.

Hi Notes, thanks for all your info! I like to think I'm pretty good at this stuff but heck the Defy is confusing me a little! I know I purchased my phone with CM7 already on it, and I just installed the pikachu zip and ran it etc no problems... now to go back, are you telling me that I can return to the original Vodafone rom without downloading any SBF etc? as in it's still in there? If so (I have read the wiki!) I am still a little confused how, or at least how to confirm my CG number etc... would you explain a tiny bit or give me a step by step?
Thanks!

No you can't go back to the original vodafone rom by just doing a full wipe, the only way is going to be flashing the sbf for the original firmware.
It's the easiest thing to do IMO.
1) Download rsdlite and install.
2) Download SBF file.
3) Follow sbf instructions which in simple are -
enter bootloader mode, connect via usb, rsdlite will detect your phone, select your sbf file, and then with one click your software is installed in front of you
The only trouble that can occur sometimes is that your phone is not recognised by rsdlite... I think the best thing to do is connect your phone by "portal" mode in the usb connection options and make sure the drivers install correctly on your computer first just to be safe. But it shouldn't matter.
All 900/2100 basebands I tried failed to connect in the country.
No Vodafone sbf, that's the problem... If it's simply a baseband changer problem. Wierd

NZ Telecom Defy+ SBF
Hey Bros!
Its cool to see some kiwis on XDA!
Anyway, I had a NZ-related question.
I have a telecom Defy red lense, I am on jelly bean, but have bought a Motorola Droid Razr that I am switching to.
What defy+ gb sbf should I flash for telecom defy?
Thanks guys! :laugh:
There is a telecoms nz sbf. I think it was just froyo though.
If you can't find it I think I still have a copy on my laptop. I got it from a big list of them linked from one of the guides on here.
Edit: its here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php

I'm running a cm10 jelly defy MB525 red lens. only works on 2g with china baseband 850/2100. But I'm on 2degrees, Shouldn't I be using 900/2100? Problem is I cant seems to get any baseband with these frequencies to work.
Hey, I am on 2degrees and have a Motorola Defy bought from Telecom NZ running WIUI and can't seem to get it to run on 900/2100 UMTS properly. I know 2degrees has 900 UMTS in our area cause it works fine on my LG Optimus Black. I changed the baseband to Optus Australia but GSM stopped working and I can only get a UMTS signal, this happened in many other basebands too. I gave up and just left it on the Telstra Australia baseband as that seems to be the only one that will work with no problems apart from the fact I can't get 900 UMTS
Hi all,
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 337M that was rooted and loaded with a custom ROM. I decided to go back to stock so went to sammobile.net and got the latest rogers firmware for my galaxy S4 (which they said was 4.3).
I loaded with ODIN, all went well, rebooted stock, but the max signal icon I can get now is 4G (even though I used speedtest and am getting close to LTE download speeds I think). Any idea why my LTE is gone ? Did I download the wrong ROM ?
I also noticed that none of the APN settings were there and no rogers apps were installed either. Makes me wonder if it was indeed a stock rogers rom after all.
Another strange thing is that it shows me a bell canada navigator update is available in the google play store, yet its not even on my phone. Regardless, even if its a Bell ROM by some chance, Bell Canada has LTE as well, so I am confused.
Btw I used the standard ltemobile APN settings that I always use on all my phones to get LTE (that always work)....
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks so much !!!
My iPhone shows LTE using the same SIM...
PS. If I do need to get an original Rogers ROM, is sammmobile not the best place lol ? Any other places to go??

I believe that all I337M uses that same firmware but you need a CSC changer to make it change to your carrier as they don't release the specific ones with the carrier apps.
Search "Samsung CSC" in the play store and you should get one.
Thanks for the reply.
Seems I need root - which I deleted when doing a factory restore.
The strange thing is that it was supposed to be a rogers based firmware that I downloaded and flashed.
Maybe something went wrong in the flash.
Will try again.
And check out the CSC
i have a bell i337m and i have the same issue when flashing from a "custom rom to stock" and i have to flash the firmware using odin a second time and than i get my LTE icon enstead of the 4G icon, sounds weird and i can't explain why it takes 2 flashes to get it to show up proper, but it does.
i also have the problem with missing phone vendor apps, the second flash also makes these show up too.
also another thing i noted about my phone is if i don't root and install recovery to wipe, odin will dirty flash my roms, even though odin is supposed to wipe it isn't.
i've tested this to no ends, the results are 100% the same everytime.

After flashing the stock Rom, go back into stock recovery and wipe data and cache, then reboot that should fix it. To fix your csc issue there is a way to do it by dialling a number on your dialpad which includes your imei number then you choose a specific code. Search for it, google

Thanks so much for the replies and help.
I wiped the rom just for fun and rebooted and noticed that its actuality a BELL ROM (all stock BELL apps etc), but when I entered my rogers APN settings it still only showed H+, maybe due to network differences. It's frustrating because I specifically selected a Rogers S4 ROM from Sammobile.net. Any idea where I can get a stock rogers ROM for s4? Also do you think this may have affected my 4G/LTE issue ??
Either way, I will definitely flash the correct ROM twice, and then go back into stock recovery to to wipe data and cache.
Thanks again for all your help

Thanks so much !!!
Model: XT1570 China Dual Sim (using only 1 sim)
Carrier: China Telecom 4G
ROM: DU Official V10.6 (latest)
I have had great signals when I was on previous DU builds (Mashmallow) but the signal became unstable (completely on and off) on the latest build.
I tried changing a few options not knowing what they actually do in "Settings"->"Mobile". There was an option I can't remember but it seems I changed it from "automatic" to "home only". Since then my phone has been out of service forever. And this option has also disappeared from the "Mobile" submenu too.
I also noticed that my phone model in the info shows XT1575 instead of XT1570.
I guess I first need to make the phone to realize what model it actually is?

I flash a customized rom just to use google. So flashing back to stock is not my solution.
But I had used the DU rom for several months and all have worked well. So I think there is way to get it to work without using stock rom.
Can't you just roll back to an older version of DU and stay there until you can get the devs of DU to look at it?
In general, the Chinese models are identical to asian models, just without Google... Can't you just flash a gapps package on the stock ROM?
