bell GT-i9000m

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else. I have checked the forums, checked youtube and now am finally asking through this.
I recently had my phone unlocked so i could use my rogers card...works great however i'm stuck with no home or back button. I see there's lots of issues and the suggestion is to go back to stock firmware. I've downloaded odin3 1.85 and but can't find the orginal firmware. i've created accounts at sams (firmware/mobile) and still can't find the firmware. Can someone please just tell me the best way to fix this issue? I tried the 2663 FW update and that didn't fix it.
Here's the specs:
pda: i9000ugkg3
phone: i9000ugkg3
csc: i9000bmckg3

If you are looking for the Bell UGKG3 ROM, it's here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
search for UGKG3

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the download gets redirected to megaupload and the site is down.
I tried googling GT_I9000M_UGKG3_UGKG3_BMCKG3_Sbl.exe and nothing, no torrents found anywhere either. Can you recommend another link??
Thanks!

Have you tried sammobile.com?

There are multiple referenced site there, only the megaupload one is missing
the link named depositfiles seems to be OK.

sammobile does not list UGKG3.
Only Bell ROM it lists is I9000UGKC1, which is Froyo.

Hi,
I became a member specifically to pursue this. I also am looking for the abovementioned files. At this point, assuming that they're not re-upped to another filehoster, and assuming that there's no way to procure them directly from someone at xda, I'm prepared to look for an alternate GT-I9000M rooting method. Starting here: anyone know of an alternate procedure that can be found under the xda aegis?
I want to thank the Canadian members whose advice has already facilitated the rooting and unlocking of my I9100: thank you! thank you! thank you!
Edit: I've been digging through xda, but no luck yet.

Try superoneclick, it worked on my friends i9000m.

I tried all the links on the multiupload/0H6SC9W6FG download page and they're all having issues. any other suggestions? If somebody has the file and would be willing to torrent it for a few hours, i would be very grateful. Thanks!

I zipped and uploaded the three part firmware (GB 2.3.3) for odin on depositfiles for i9000m

Awesome Thanks! i'm downloading now. I'll have to have another read on actually updating now so i don't screw it up

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Everything download - again a big thank you!
Before i execute i just want to confirm (i'm nervous - no warranty so no exchange)
1. Set unit to USB debug
2. Launch Odin, connect USB
3. Odin msgbox "added"
4. import each file ( pda,phone,csc)
5. execute start
I'm going to leave the default checkboxes checked (f.reset time, auto reboot)
leave re-partition un-checked.
good to go or am i missing anything?

Yes exactly! I've just try it and all is back to stock 2.3.3 for my GT-I9000M

worked perfectly for me.. after putting the unit in 'download mode'.
i'm still having issues with the back and menu button .. both are
still not working.
What do you suggest??

Would someone be able to give me a link for stock 2.2.1 for my model?? I have read a few threads that say loading this and doing the 2663 works. Currently i'm on 2.2.3 stock.
I have downloaded I9000XWJS8.rar but not 100% if its ok for 9000m
thanks!

Also awesome, also thanks! downloading now, will be trying this out soon, and report back.

Hi Altheos,
Firstly just wanted to say thanks for the orginal download. After restoring back to stock with a found JL2 version i was able to finally get the home/back buttons working again YAY. Just curious now that that i've been dorking around on the SGS. How were you able to create the 3partskg3fori9000m(odin) archive with
CSC_BMCKG3.tar.md5
PDA_UGKG3_Sbl.tar.md5
PHONE_UGKG3.tar.md5
Just curious as i've now added mulitple apps and am trying darkyroms latest and would like to image the state my phone is in now for later restore if need be.

I downloaded it some time ago from another source here that went down with megaupload, though I know that if you search for a guide in the forums, you should find various guides.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you're rooted, download spooffw from the market, follow the instructions to spoofit to JL2 then hook up KIES and it will download and install pure stock KG3
just remember to factory reset afterwards so you clear out any memory leftovers.

I can barely see, please help me restore to stock!

OK, I've tried searching, but it's very, very difficult. I have a terrible eye infection and can barely see right now. It'll be a couple of weeks before my vision is better. (I'm having surgery tomorrow.) I need to return my ATT S4 due to a mechanical problem. It has the stock MDL rom, but is rooted with TWRP recovery. I used the casual method to root and add the recovery. I only have 2 days left too return & exchange my S4. Could somebody PLEASE help me restore stock recovery & unroot? I'm hoping there are simple instructions I can follow, as just typing this is difficult & painful. Thanks!

What firmware are you on? You mention mdl. If you're still on that Odin the stock firmware.

as said above, use Odin to flash the factory firmware/recovery to your device.
here's a link to check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573

Yes, I'm still on the stock MDL firmware. I hate to ask this, but I really need links & instructions to everything. I'm wearing high power magnifying glasses which make searching and reading both difficult and very painful. Just doing this is a very trying experience. Normally, I'd just search & figure it out. I tried that, but it's just too hard. I'm typing with my eyes closed for the most part. I'm basically begging somebody to wlak me through this with links... I don't have odin on my PC, I used the Casual Java app to root & add recovery.

I see the link to Odin I think. I already have the MDL firmware on, do I flash it again to get back stock recovery & unroot?

Cool. Thanks so much guys!!!!!!!!

I'm truly sorry to bug everyone again, but what do I check, and what do I leave unchecked in Odin? I know it is a big deal, but I can't remember which boxes are important? I feel like an ass for not finding this on my own,; I'm sorry.

Just check auto-reboot. The file should be in the PDA slot.
Edit, when it boots you'll most likely have to boot into recovery and do a factory reset or it will boot loop.

Woo Hoo!
Success. Thanks so much you guys! Back to Costco it goes and a new one in exchange in 3 days. About a week or 2 before I can set it up though...

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Been trying to get file uploaded to megashare, but it keeps hanging up. I am at work, so, I'm gonna wait until 4-5 p.m. and restart it. Maybe a night time upload will go since everyone goes home then. I hope someone can use it. I searched high and low looking for it online, but never found it. So, I did my research about where it stores the file for a kies update and was ready for it once it downloaded. I really hope it can be useful to someone. I just can't believe this isn't already floating around anywhere on the net.

File transfer stopped at 55% last night. FTP'ing the file now. FTP supports resume so it can't fail now.
Just realized they have a 550 MB download restriction on free accounts. It looks like you can enter a passport code for free that will give you 2Gig though. Just click on download and it will prompt you to enter a code. Arg! Will try a diff service.

Used a leech site to pull it off. Thanks.

Cool. Glad it helped somone.

Not that I have seen.

I'd give up my left and or not excluding my right nut or nuts for some SGH-I497 development. Just my luck to have my wife gift me a tab with no aosp support. one of these days im gonna look into porting a rom on this if I ever ge the time. msm9860 has alot of development and I here the sgs tab 7" and one of the sgs3 variants is the same just diff screen and digitizer. Man I really dislike touchwiz.... I gues if it was sense id hang myself.

I think we have a better chance of waiting on an official update than anything else at this point in time. I'd love to run AOSP/CM on this tablet though.

is there another location for this file, seems like i have to wait about 100 hours or so, crazy. for what ever reason my i497 will not update or odin any other i497 firmwares, i497vlamj2 failed at sbl1.not sure if this will work to

lol this has been posted like 3 times now

Thats weird because I looked for official TMO SM-N910T files and couldnt find them. They were all modified or developer preview versions not release versions. Also mine includes the AP, BL, CP, and CSC flashes.

So it's the sm-910t not the t3 version.
and you're right. The other post is for the sprint version. I'm getting a fail! (Auth) when I try to flash it

is that what it is you were afraid of? I was stealing your thunder? Either way I was just trying to help out, there are multiple versions out all slightly different and theres nothing wrong with mirrors if in fact you have the same 4 flashes in your zip.

Thunder? Hardly, I could care less. This is not a popularity contest. Hence why my donate link doesn't even go to me.
I too was simply trying to also help out. There is no need for multiple posts of the exact same thing. (you were not the only one)
Some of the other posts were actually the wrong file and were bricking devices. I simply wanted to make sure people had the 100% for sure one.
Also AFH mirrors the file 6 times and is much faster then MEGA.
In addition typically/historically speaking stock firmware are usually posted in the Development section. (not a rule, I dont think)
4 flashes? What do you mean? There is one tar file in my zip.
---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
Actually to add; Your post is very useful I would just re-word the title. (and if possible request that it is moved to dev)
Your title "Tmobile 6.0.1 ODIN files" is not very detailed and a poor choice of words for what you posted.
Including the model of the phone and the build version of the firmware you posted would be more helpful. (there are two different models of the Note 4 for T-Mobile)
Because you got the files from Kies it contains the firmware split into separate files.
AP - Main ROM Platform
BL - Bootloader
CP - Modem
CSC - Region / Carrier Data
These things are very useful for some "power users".
However to many users this can be very confusing to flash with Odin and would need further explanation.
The Firmware I posted is what every one is accustomed to. (a tar you flash via Odin in PDA/AP)
---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------
Then again it looks like this guy posted all of those files well before any of us. Dunno what to say at this point.

Ok does that help out. I changed the title hope that helps, Im still new to posting files like this but Ill get the hang of it eventually. As for requesting the move I dont know how to do that.
As for sammobile, yes they almost always have it immediately but unless you have a paid subscription you'll be downloading for half the day, which is why I uploaded to a different place.

I rather run from a jaguar then go to that site.

interesting. sammobile is slow but downloads usually take two hours top on good or regular days. yes, some days have had to start over a couple times so took all day because so slow and congested. was just putting it out there. sammobile isn't my first choice but it reliable and occasionally the firmware makes it there faster than here.

Thanks for the link. This is my first time seeing this link and I have google searched a bunch of them. So I googled specific to this model and I came to this link. Usually when I see xda I automatically check here first because I have had a lot of success in doing so thanks to users like yourself and many others. Keep up the good work ladies and gents.

N910t "virgin"
please, does it work with all operators ?

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I wanted to try out RR N on my Note 4 SM-N910T. I really love RR however during some phone calls, the caller couldn't hear me. A few other glitches. I tried all day today to switch back to stock and all the fireware I tried from SDA links failed in Odin. What a waste of a day!
Your link, even though it was mentioned was double posted, was the only one that came up in Google, and saved my phone! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
Now I am just going to keep it rooted, Keep stock Rom, and use my paid version of Nova. I did like RR though. But I would rather a working phone best.

Attempted U firmware

So I attempted the steps located here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...de-flashing-sm-935u-firmware-verizon-t3415145
It won't seem to install using either ODIN. Now it won't boot to OS. It will boot to recovery and I can still boot do downloading but I cannot get it to work. I know I didn't do anything wrong... the steps are very simple.

Only way someone can help is if you list out the steps you took and the files that you used. Did you do a factory reset before pushing the files via Odin? Which files did you upload to Odin? Did Odin give you any errors?

What build were you on prior to flashing with Odin? I have a strong feeling that you are getting errors by flashing an older version of the U-firmware onto a newer version of V firmware, hence why Odin won't flash it. The link you sent is for PEH, which is fairly old IIRC. Were you on Verizon PI3 before attempting this?

You are probably partly right about the older firmware. The steps didn't really include information that seems updated. Right before I went to bed I was able to get it working. It seems that the phone did not like 4 of my cables. Finally it worked with a really tiny cable I found. Whew. Haha sorry I should have revised this. Is there any way for me to flag it as completed?

Oh yea for sure! The steps worked! Only issue was just that since the link is to the old firmware (and it says nothing about new firmware) I had to go looking for the answer, you have provided, during a state of mild panic. LOL I think we've all been there.

Incredible. Leagues ahead of the Verizon firmware. I am on TMOBILE now and I couldn't be happier. So much less bloat to turn off. The speed of apps are even faster. Just feels lighter.

shouthouse,
So you flashed G-935U on your G-935V and put it on T-moblie? Have you unlocked the better bands? I'm on T-mobile and looking to do the same for my G-935V and my wife's G-900V (once I find those instructions). Thanks in advance.
