Hi guys,
My friend flashed my phone and there was a problem with the backup of the original firmware (for some reason) so we did not do it.
Unfortunately days after updating (and only days after I got the phone) there was a hardware problem in the form of a pink discolouring (leak?) in the screen which has spread from a tiny pink dot to the majority of the lower half of the screen. Due to this I need to return the phone for repair hence the need to return it back to factory firmware.
I have tried flashing to older firmware in order to upgrade my phone with Kies (and bricked my phone in the process forcing me to make a jig ) however even after flashing to 2.1 Update 1 and trying to trick Kies with the patcher there does not seem to be an update available from Vodafone Australia for the device.
Could a kind fellow aussie please help me out by uploading a backup of the original Vodafone Australia Samsung Galaxy S firmware, I assure you that your kind deed will not go unrewarded.
Thank you!

Wow, I feel like such a noob.
After spending so much time trying to find this firmware I was convinced that it was not out there but now I can see where you have found it.
Thank you so much! As promised I will have to reward you, feel free to PM me your PayPal e-mail address so that I can give you a small token of my appreciation (Or to a cause of your choosing if you prefer.
Thanks again.
Ran into some trouble with the following error.
E:Cant mout /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media conent failed.
Had to flash JM9 with repartitioning then the Vodafone firmware with no repartitioning as shown in THIS THREAD.
Everything is good now, taking my phone in for warranty for an LCD issue tomorrow .
Let me know how it goes.
I'm on Virgin, but I just want to know if they do make any excuses (and they would love to) so that I could have a good comeback if my phone happened to have the same fate as yours.
Cheers

Hey guys
I have got my SGS flashed to JM9, however when I flash it to JG4, it fails every time. Would someone be able to tell me exactly what file to load in what section in Odin to make sure I've done it all right?
Chris
Hi all. I am helping a friend restore his phone back to standard to send back to voda.
I am assuming when you say flash jm9 you are talking about this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802909
also once this is done how to you go about flashing the voda firmware? do you just flash the ADD_VAU.tar in odin? also if this is correct what section do you flash it in. PDA? Sorry bout this just not really sure.
was going to use
Vodafone FW: HVJH1
Do i need to use Vodafone JH1 CSC only as well?
Thanks in advance.

Try this:
BEWARE, THIS WILL SET YOUR PHONE BACK TO STOCK YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA
So, I was in pretty much the same situation as you are in. Here's what I did
First, Download, and install Odin 1.85 (here's a direct Download Link):

Then, extract the files that is within the MF3 Tars file into their own seperate file.
Open up Odin 1.85
Make sure that your Phone is connected (It will be under the ID:COM, section).
Click Bootloader, and browse to the file location in which you saved the MF3 Tar Files.
Select the file named: BOOTLOADER_I337UCUAMF3_812098_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Had root and uninstalled it. Used the link and flashed through Odin and I'm perfectly stock again!! I can get OTA updates.
Keep those files in storage and they come in handy as long as it can boot to DL mode it can be restored

Hmm.. I wouldn't call it useless. It all depends on what you're trying to get out of your phone. If your idea of the 'perfect phone' is one that requires root, and custom Roms, then rooting becomes less useful. Notice I said less useful, and not useless. There are still things that can be done on a rooted phone, that cannot be done on a stock, unrooted phone. There are some apps that require root. For example: diskdigger, titanium backup, and tons more - that's just what I can think of on the spot.
Rooting still has a purpose outside of having a custom ROM, but what you can do with it does become limited with MF3 and blocked bootloader.
Rooting is still useful. You gain more control over your phone. You can freeze applications and use xposed for customization. There are a lot of apps that require root that help so much with speed and performance

Im having an issue with my att s8 active, it has not updated since june 26th 2018 and according to att its 4 updates behind and i cant get the pie update. After spending all day on the phone with the useless insurion and samsung support as they either wanted my deductible to replace my phone or send it in and lose it for a few weeks. Is there anyway to update it by odin and firmware, if so is there a link to the last 4 firmwares? I have flashed using odin before on previous galaxies and im comfortable doing it again if its possible. My phone is not unlocked or rooted and I dont need it to be.
My current base band is G892AUCS2BRF2 and im in the us

the new pie update only has one link as well as the G892AUCS2BRF2 I dont know where else to get them as its hard to trust any page. I havent been around a while so im out of the loop. I kept my active stock so i wouldnt have to do any of this put it just stopped receiving ota updates june of last year
Edit: weird thing is att advanced tech showed my phone as receiving the update.

litterally the last thing icould suggest that i believe has a chance of working is flashing the latest Tmobile rom from sammobile.
use this tool (requires 2 Microsoft add ons, read the post) to download the firmware quick.
with the tool running, enter
Code:
Model: SM-G892U
Region: TMB
AUTO (check this box)
binary nature (check this box)
->select check update
make sure to check "Check CRC32" and "Decrpyt Automatically"
->select "Download"
If that fails, then my best suggestion is to visit a samsung repair center near you and have them update it. i confirmed with samsung chat that they can do it. you should call them to verify they will though and if it incurs a charge.

jd14771 said:
interesting- the main difference that i can see is that your PC does not have Secure boot enabled, while hers does.
your device encryption support status
Code:
Device Encryption Support Reasons for failed automatic device encryption: TPM is not usable, PCR7 binding is not supported, Hardware Security Test Interface failed and device is not Modern Standby, Un-allowed DMA capable bus/device(s) detected, TPM is not usable
i can't list hers because it says elevation required to view, but im willing to bet that might be the problem? idk. if you feel like it, boot into your bios and enable secure boot, and see if it allows you to re-flash the same files you are flashing now when its done. eaither it will be a quick no, or samsung ODIN requires secure boot to work.

Ill check into it thanks
Instructions are updated to get eSIMINTRODUCTION - Firstly sorry for posting this as this is common knowledge for many. I still see so many people asking the same questions again and again and i do want to help so decided to write a guide.
If you have Odin Flashing questions please ask here. I have converted a device from U to U1 (just for fun) so i know this works, many other users have confirmed this too.
SECTION1
Pre-Requisites - PC / Laptop, USB Cable, Phone
Switch on USB Debugging from Developer options. To turn on developer options go to Settings>>About Phone>>Software Information>> Then tap the build number 7 times - Developer options will appear at the bottom of Settings Menu.
HOW TO - N986U to N986U1 and or Flash ATID or Flash Any Odin compatible ROM
1. If you want to flash or update to One UI 3 Beta then Download the ATID Firmware here. (This point is old when people were on Android 10 not relevant now)
1. For changing Carrier locked device to Unlocked Firmware (N986U to N986U1) Download the firmware for U1 from OTA Thread or by using Frija
OR1. For changing unlocked device to Carrier locked Firmware (N986U1 to N986U) Download the firmware for U from OTA Thread or by using Frija - This is usually being done to get eSIM Capability on your phone
If you are Flashing One UI 3 Stable download the appropriate firmware. (This point is old when people were on Android 10 not relevant now)
There are many resources for downloading firmware, there is a thread in the N20 Ultra forums, there are tools like Frija and SamFW and more, then there are various websites. Where you are downloading from is your outlook just ensure you download Odin compatible ROM.
2. Download Patched Odin here
3. Unpack/Unzip what you downloaded in Step 2 (Odin Compatible ROM) and put in a folder. Lets call the folder "Flash"
4. Run Odin, click on BL, Browse to the "Flash" folder, add BL file from there, Do the same for AP (click on AP, Add AP file, this will take some time), Same for CP (click on CP, Add CP file)
NOTE ATTENTION CAREFUL To get eSIM Capability on your phone if you are on bootloader version 2 please see step 5a and Skip Step 55 . Click on CSC, Add the file with the name starting with Home_CSC). If you use Home_CSC your phone will not get formatted and data will remain Intact
USERDATA Stays empty.
5a. Do the same for CSC (click on CSC, Add the file with the name starting with CSC. This will format your phone and your phone will factory reset. You will lose your data and would need to setup your phone like it was new. USERDATA Stays empty.
6. Now connect USB cable to your laptop (Only laptop and not the phone)>> Turn off your phone >> Press volume up and volume down keep them pressed and plug in the USB type C into your phone.
7. You should be in download mode now, press volume up. In Odin you will see that phone is added.
8. Press start in Odin. Wait for it to finish and let the phone restart (it will happen On its own).
9. Done
SECTION 2HOW TO - N986U or N986U1 Latest Security Patch or Firmware upgrade / downgrade
1. Download the firmware for Corresponding device - For example if you are on SM-N986U1 then download for U1. If you are N986U locked to TMB, VZW, SPR etc etc download the firmware for U device and your Own CSC from OTA Thread or by using Frija or SamFirm tool.
2. If downloaded using Frija or SamFirm Tool it will be in a compressed folder (ZIP). Extract the firmware files in a folder, lets call it "Flash"
Follow the rest of the steps from Step 4 Above.
SECTION 3Going from one carrier locked device to another one like from ATT to TMob - Use the same instructions as in SECTION1 - just download the appropriate firmware.
FAQCan I get E-Sim with this ?
Yes, I have updated the instructions in this post.
If you are doing this to get E-Sim capability that t-mobile just added here is a post from someone who converted their phone to T-Mobile version (Old Post can be ignored)
WARNING - If for some reason you use ODIN to Flash back to Android 10 after being on Android 11, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA
This is not a guide for Downgrading by whole Android Iteration as in Going from Android X to Android (X-1) or Android (X-2) ____ Versions

Unfortunately I didn't get a screenshot but it said something like there was an error with files or something. Either way I had a back up. I was already on the regular atj5 build on android 10. It is all working now.

I was. The members app works as well. Thank you
Thanks changed from AT&T to XAA. But damn bloatware on phone with ATT firmware is more worst then in europe.
I have been trying to odin my att note 20 ultra to the t-mobile firmware, so far I've only been able to get it to boot like it is the unlocked version, and can't find the reason

I dont know anyone who has done such a thing but i guess there is a use case for everything. Have you tried flashing unlocked Variant first and then Odin to T-Mobile.
that's exactly what I did, I switched from att to t-mobile, and first I wanted to see how the unlocked version would work, now I want to try the t-mobile firmware, but after downloading the one that says t-mobile and using odin, the phone stays on the unlocked firmware

Which T-Mobile firmware?
If you want carrier stuff you have to change your CSC to TMB and flash U version not U1 version.

Hope you downloaded a U firmware and not U1, CSC can be T-mobile on U1 too so make sure you download U firmware and hope you are not confusing CSC with T-Mobile firmware
I am trying to switch from U1 to U VZW brand. I get this error

Are you trying to go from the unlocked 3.1 DUC1 build to VZW firmware? They updated the bootloader from BL1 to BL2 on DUC1 so we are not able to roll back to anything older. The VZW firmware is still on BL1.
If that is the case will have to wait for VZW to release new firmware with BL2 before you can switch. My guess would be it will be included in next months security patch update.
Great guide to people like me that are thinking about dipping their toes in for the first time when it comes to flashing. I do have a question or two though:
What are the advantages of flashing from a U device to the unlocked U1 version? For instance I have the T-mobile U version and I have for the most part uninstalled all the carrier bloatware that came with it and put the ones that I couldn't into deep sleep so my battery life for the most part is unaffected. I also got it unlocked when I first got it since I paid outright for it. I notice most people also like getting updates faster and flashing enables them to do so but I honestly don't mind waiting for the slower OTA ones.
I guess I'm looking for a reason to do this (bored too) and use it as a learning process as well to gain the experience since I've never flashed before. Are there any settings or features in the U1 devices that I can't get from the play store that I can get by flashing? The only feature I truly miss is call recording but I don't think anyone has been able to figure that out yet..

It mostly comes down to bloat and unlocked devices being eligible for beta programs. They used to do beta programs for some carriers but it seems to be happening less.
For the most part there isn't much difference. I've been toying with the idea of switching my unlocked to Verizon firmware to get RCS which Verizon recently activated for several Samsung devices. Was hoping it would come for the unlocked phones but doesn't look like it will. Haven't heard anything about the google/samsung RCS partnership in months.
So recently I thought that rooting my old phone would be a good idea. At first I had no idea on how to do it. But after reading up a bit I realised that you need to install twrp. And since this is a galaxy on8 I downloaded odin to do it.
After I plugged in my phone which was in downloading mode and put in the tar file, the software responded with:-
<OSM>Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM>Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable, <OSM> Please Wait
After that odin does not respond anymore.
I have tried all the different types of compatibility modes and it is running on administrator. My phone is in downloading mode. One of my major suspicions is that I am having to use a GalaxyJ7 twrp file as I did not find any galaxy on8 versions, but I read that they are very similar so I thought that it would work.
Please help me out here, I am open to all recommendations and I do not care if it accidentally leads to the bricking of this phone as no one uses it.
