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.

[Q] PLEASE HELP ME! Galaxy Y Reboot Problem - Need help installing 2.3.6 firmware!

Hello all,
I've had my mobile device for seven months and it has worked great.
Recently (4 days ago) it started experiencing problems.
After every phone call that is terminated (end call button depressed) the mobile device automatically restarts itself.
I have done countless hours of research online and see that is a fairly frequent problem with the mobile device.
One article I read from a website depicted the source of the problem to be an internal memory inefficiency by the mobile device.
With that being said, I thought I would give Samsung a call to see if they could help me install a new software version on the device.
I spent two days calling Samsung in all their offices around the world. In the United States, in India, in China, in Jordan.
All the places that I called gave me the run around because I am using an international phone, and basically did not offer any assistance.
My last resort is XDA developers, - therefore, I do apologize if this thread is covered in another post. I did try to search, yet I could not find what I was looking for.
Basically what I am trying to do is download odin3 v. 1.84 or 1.85 and the appropriate download package to use to install 2.3.6 onto the phone.
I believe DDLC2 Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread is the firmware version that I need.
I read online that this update or change from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 will solve my rebooting problem. Is this correct?
With that being said, 99% of the download links that I have found on google while searching for odin as well as the firmware package are invalid, the links are broken/removed/ or do not work.
The other 1% of the download links that are available online are full of malware and spyware, instead of the appropriate files.
I am kindly asking that someone provide me with the correct Odin link to download, as well as the appropriate firmware files needed to upload to Odin to be able to install 2.3.6 on my mobile device.
Does the mobile device need to be rooted to install 2.3.6 onto it via Odin?
My Galaxy Y S5360L is currently not rooted.
Please take pity on me, I have been trying to fix my mobile device for a few days now non-stop. I have been up for over 19 hours a day searching for a solution.
I really like this mobile device, and I do not wish to throw it away because of this problem.
Here are some instructions I found that tell what to do after Odin and Firmware files are downloaded. Are these correct?
First thing you need to do is go down to Settings then Applications then Development and Make sure you have enabled USB Debugging.
Before starting the process make sure you have a good 70-80% charge remaining on your device.
After you make sure you have everything ready for the update download this file.
Extract the files in the zip file. Do not connect your device to the computer yet. Next you need to enter your phone in download mode.
For that first switch Off the phone and then Hold down the Volume Down OK and Power Button simultaneously.
Now run Odin from the extracted files and then connect your Galaxy Y to your computer.
Once you connect your device a section in the Odin Window should turn yellow.
After that click PDA in the Odin Window and select the .md5 file from the extracted files. Now just click Start.
Just wait for the process to finish and reboot. That's it

No root required and the tutorial i right and for odin search my post there is the nwest odin.worx 100%,the post is in general section.
MANY GREEEEETZ!!!

As CALIBAN666 said, no rooting is required. Go to the development section, and you'll see a thread by Doky73 (it's stickied). You'll find your firmware files there, a link to Odin, as well as instructions on how to flash it.

Thank you very much for the response.
I see the thread by Doky73.
There are far too many packages available, I don't know which one to choose.
Does every package download include a copy of Odin inside it, or do I have to download Odin separately?
I read that we are supposed to use 1.84 and not 1.85 is that correct?
Could you please recommend a package for me to use, so that my rebooting problem will go away.

The packages are arranged according to the countries. See the firmware package under your country and download it. Yes, you'll have to download Odin seperately. It dosen't matter whether it's 1.84 or 1.85.

I live in the United States, in the commonwealth of Virginia near Washington DC.
I purchased the phone online when it first came out back in November of 2011.
Which package do you recommend that I use?
I don't see one listed for North American users.
Should I choose the European version?

What is the title of the thread you created, I will try to find it.
I am currently using Ubuntu/Linux, but I can boot into my Windows partition to install Odin.
Im using ubuntu right now because I got some malware yesterday on my windows partition when I was searching for Odin versions to download.

I have downloaded Odin V. 1.84.
I tried downloaded a firmware package, put the phone in download mode, followed all the steps and Odin said PASS in the upper left corner with a Green Light.
I was very happy.
I let me phone reboot itself, I go into settings, and I see it is still running 2.3.5 ?
Besides that, I check the codes, and all of the firmware versions are the same as the originals that came with the mobile device.
Can someone please help me find a 2.3.6 package that I can install ?

Thread Moved to Q&A

I have found out an update to the problem I am having.
I successfully patched from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 by using one of firmware packages.
However, if I reboot the phone, or turn it off, - when I turn it back on it will start experiencing problems.
Right now it is working 100%.
As soon as I reboot the phone though, the end call problem will reappear.
I am still using the phone after the initial boot, after the install of the new firmware.
Any ideas why the problem comes back after I restart the phone?

you have the three files flashed with odin,right?try to flash the totoro pitfile too,it in my odin zip includet,did you have data/factory+chache in normal recovery wiped,after odinflash?try these things too,maybe its helps.good luck buddy!!!

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?

Glad you got it to work. BTW that thread is still 100% fine, just the link to the firmware is old. HERE is the link to the newest U firmware that I recommend flashing, in case you care or wanted it.

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.

S7 Edge back to Stock Firmware. How? Please answer!

Hello! I have an S7 Edge with Exynos Processor. And i have TWRP 3.0.2-4 Installed on it
And a custom rom called: "LineageOS 14.1"
Its pretty cool, but the camera is bad.
I want to go back and Kies3 and SmartSwitch just gave me errors like: "Invalid Device" or something, so it does not recognize it.
Can i just Flash it with Odin3? Or what do i have to do, to get the Stock Firmware back?
I need help fast! Would be cool! thanks!

answered your question in the other thread.
It takes time for someone with the know how to get online. Making 2 threads about the same problem does not help and is considered double posting. Which is not usually allowed.

Im sorry, i just thought people ignored me

Just make a backup of your data, download the stock rom using SamFirm tool (its on xda, search on google), extract the rom files from the .rar you've downloaded and finally flash them with odin. (Use the ap, bl,cp and csc files of the rom)

Having trouble with Heimdall

Greetings!
I am trying to revert my Samsung Galaxy S5 back to Lollipop from Marshmallow. I don't have a PC but a Macbook Pro so I can't use ODIN. Instead I have downloaded Heimdall. I have downloaded several different versions of the Lollipop stock ROM but the Heimdall GUI is not recognizing them.
I *really* need to revert this back to Lollipop so I can use towelroot to get rid of all the crap Verizon bloatware that is eating my memory and making my phone unusable.
Any help would be so so so appreciated, thank you!

Hi,
It is good that you are asking for help but first of all in order to get helped you should provide basic info as:
1. Your phone model (label inside the phone)
2. Current firmware (bootloader, PDA, CSC etc)
It seems you have Verizon version of s5. In this case there is dedicated Verizon S5 Forum for your specific phone where potentially you can get more reliable help as xda members there posses these phone:

It seems the issue is Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom package when I click the button that is supposed to load it from the relevant folder...

Ok, so...now what do I do? The GUI in Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom files in order to load them into the program...
It has been entirely frustrating...I have done research on my own finding all of the step by steps...but at every step there seems to be some issue or roadblock...why can't it just be straightforward, arg!

Hi again,
I never used Heimdall for my phone (always odin) nor have your phone model (my is g900f) so can't reproduce your problem. Maybe the others here can?
If not do as I recommended to you in my previous post -> ask this question on the s5 Verizon dedicated forum.
Edit: ok I see that you already posted there and forum moderator closed your thread. Do as he recommended to move this thread to Verizon s5 forum.

How do I move the whole thread to a new forum? I tried to start a new one as requested and it got locked.
