Hi everyone.
I spent the last few days trawling the internet and mucking around with pit magic to go back from a leaked Lollipop ROM back to the stock Vodafone Australia Lollipop rom. Everytime I flashed any Australian Lollipop ROM, an error popped up advising the HIDDEN image was too large for the partition. I ended up at this post and tried out each relevant looking PIT file. Eventually I found that this PIT was the right one for my Australian Vodafone branded Note 3.
Hope this helps someone else with the same problem I had!

Hi Guys,
Ive searched the forum, to no avail...
I would like to flash my Apollo with FroYo, but for safety's sake im trying to find a copy of my original firmware so I can flash it back and use KIES if needed.
If I type in *#1234# I get:
PDA I5800XXJG7
Phone I5800XXJG3
CSC I5800XXJG5
Does any kind person have the relevant files handy for upload please?
Also, If I flash a new firmware should they all match the original (ie the I5800XX part).
Thanks for your help
I posted the same question a week ago. I didn't get a straight answer. I had the same firmware before i flashed to XXJPM. Your firmware is XXJG7, but I didn't find it on samfirmware. I found XWJG7, but I think that is not the same, because there is xxjpf and xwjpf - the first one being older. To update via kies when the official update comes u need an official firmware, XXJG7 is official since u got it with your phone, but u cant find it, can you? So you need any official firmware, but i don't know witch are official except XXJG7... Anyway don't bother with this, you can flash froyo without backup, i did it and nothing went wrong but be cautius and folow the steps closly and when the official update comes it will be avaliable to flash via odin. until then flash any non official froyo
I have this rom and am uploading it now its I5800XXJG3 - csc xxjg5 - phone xxjg5 - pda xxjg7 will post a link soon
here you go

Thanks
I see the numbers are slightly different, does it matter?
I have also read that flashing the bootloader can cause hard-brick issues, is it better not to flash the bootloader?
i did not flash the bootloader just to be on the safe side, not sure what the cl447760 & cl460190 mean all i tell you is kies see's this as the latest firmware for my phone the uk .
i got the phone three weeks aga at the carphone warehouse it is unbranded and unlocked
Thanks again for your help. I have now upgraded mine to the standard XXJPM FroYo with ODIN. Just out of interest, is there a way I could have got the old firmware off my phone into files like you uploaded?
i think you can dd them to the sd card but not sure how to do it , i googled for ages to find my that firmware on some random site because i did not like froyo after i flashed it
ive gone back to 2.1 until i can find a fix for icons not staying on the home screen from apps installed on the sd card after a reboot. other than that i was pleased with it.
Hi,
Would anyone be able to upload the stock rom included on out-of-the-box Optus GT-P1000's? If not, are there any copies of Telstra's GT-P1000T ROM anywhere?
Thanks heaps!

Do a search for "telstra rom galaxy tab"... Not original as it is a rotohammer backup but it is telstra stock rom... Its also pre-rooted...

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think there's any chance I'm going to find the fully stock ROM as opposed to a pre-rooted Roto build? Or the Optus ROM?
Not for the Telstra rom... Optus were, apparently, testing a gingerbread rom for gtab however when that is released is anyone's guess... Vodafone was also supposed to be releasing a gingerbread stock rom however this also has faded into history...
I spoke to optus and Samsung today re Gingerbread on the P1000. Optus had no comment other than to say they would pass my request to management. The guy from Samsung seemed annoyed with Optus for sitting on the firmware update for so long.
Optus CSC
Been searching both XDA and Whirlpool Forums for an answer to this but does anyone have a copy of the Optus CSC file for flashing through Odin.
Thanks

I've been looking for the same thing for a while.
I'm not sure of your situation, but I would say that a CSC file is probably not absolutely critical. A CSC file only deals with region-specific settings. As long as you enter the APNs manually to get your 3G working (check out AusDroid for your APN) you should be alright. It's possible you might have problems with Optus's included apps, but they're not all that great anyway..
I take no responsibility for anything you try, but I've done quite a few flashes without CSCs and I haven't bricked yet. Your mileage may vary.
Problem is I flashed to overcome before I realised I needed to backup my original firmware.
What I am trying to do is return it back to Froyo 2.2.1 but I can't remember what version of the firmware it was.
I have downloaded firmware from samfirmware but I cant get Kies to update my firmware it just says my version is not updatable through Kies.
Hence why I am looking for the Optus CSC.
I too would like to update to the stock, Optus firmware (even the old one would be fine)
Got a reply from Optus support yesterday and they said they had "no information" on the Tab's Gingerbread update "at this time". They announced in April that the Galaxy S and Tab updates were being tested, and the S has had its update for months, but the Tab's still got nothing.

CheckFus Downloader will allow you to download any rom you choose for your device.
Ive used it on my Galaxy I9000 and I9100 and it works perfectly.
It downloads encrypted kies roms, and decrypts them for you, ready to flash with odin.
Ive downloaded both the telstra and optus roms, but as yet im unable to flash them. Currently have Overcome 4.1.0 on my GT P1000 and for some reason, it stops while flashing the Hidden partition. Have tried repartitioning, and using different pit files, but no success as yet.
At least check fus will get you the current rom for your device, which kies will be able to update once again, verifying its a stock genuine rom.

Hope this helps you out.
Hey Guys,
a few minutes ago, I tried to flash the newest Lollipop Rom from a german carrier via. odin. Before that, my Note 3 was running the leaked HongKong version of Lollipop. I missed, to backup my pit file and thats why I can't flash the new system. The problem is, that now my phone doesn't even boot. It even won't accept the HK version of Lollipop.
Can someone uploade his/her Pit-File for me?
Sorry, can be closed.
Got it from here.
Hi XDA,
Sorry if this is a silly question - it's been a long time since i've used a Samsung phone (since the SGS2).
I'm running a custom rom designed for the W935F but I have the Canadian version W935W8 - I'm hoping to flash back my original modem since my signal hasn't been great over the last few days.
I downloaded the official W8 firmware and I see the following files:
AP_G935W8VLU1APB7_CL7109126_QB8573032_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
BL_G935W8VLU1APB7_CL7109126_QB8573032_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_G935W8VLU1APB7_CL7109126_QB8573032_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_OYA_G935W8OYA1APB7_CL7109126_QB8573032_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OYA_G935W8OYA1APB7_CL7109126_QB8573032_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Can someone let me know which file I can flash to get back my Canadian modem and how to do it over odin (I remember there are certain boxes that should / shouldn't be checked)?
I got spoiled previously modem.zips just lying around everywhere =P and this phone is so new that simple stuff isn't readily available....
Thanks in advance for all your help!
I have been using this phone from last 4 months and switched to leedroid and now its time for a change but problem is i can not revert back to stock after been through various forums it seems its not easy as it seems
my previous firmware was 1.62.710.1 and i can not find firmware files for this and cid is 023 if anyone could help its australian phone and single sim
Didn't you backup with twrp
Nop I thought t should be available as always the firmwares had been available
its not like samsung there easy to find but everytime you root or change your rom always always backup your phone
im in perth and i got my phone from jbhifi i didnt know about ruu but i have backed my phone up im on leedroid and loving it just wish the screen persistence is a bugger
is your back up of 1.62.710.1 rom and just rom or your personal files too
Just my rom
