Need vodafone australia galaxy s firmware

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

fix it by running Odin in compatability for XP SP3 and also as an admin. should work
Check this out

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.

For two days i have been struggling to root my new Orange Romania N9005.
First of all I downloaded CF Auto Root and Odin 3.09. Followed the steps exactly (i'm not new to rooting) ,Uninstalled Kies and downloaded the latest drivers only, and every single time I try to root it Odin gives the following error:

,I have tried to change usb ports to no avail, even tried to root it on 4 different laptops.Tried with different cables, with usb debugging on and off, NOTHING WORKS!!!
Please help me I am thinking of setting it on fire!!!

Try install Kies and try again...
/CK

tried with old kies and kies 3 as well.Also tried older drivers.
Do i have a locked BootLoader?This shouldnt be the case as it is an n9005.
Any way to check if bootloader is locked and if so any way to unlock it for the international version?
Thanks!

No one?
Doesn't any one know how to help?Don't know where else to ask.

I had the same issue while rooting my Galaxy S4,tried on every other laptop,different ports,cables and more but then I realized I was using the wrong file.
Yes,the international version comes with Bootloader unlocked so your bootloader is fine.Are you able to boot your phone into Download mode?I am sure u cant boot into Recovery mode,can you?
First go back and check your phone's model no and use the proper file and try again!I will help you,dont worry!

I deactivated the reactivation lock but still the same problem.I have Downloaded the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar file several times same thing every time.My last chance is doing a full wipe of the system and then trying again.I hope orange Romania CSC does't have some sort of security block.
Frustrating thing is the phone is fully functional so i cannot ask for a replacement.And even after the dozens of failed flash attempts it still reads 0x0.
YES!!!Finally.A full wipe did it.!Thank you for your interest in helping me.

thanks for bringing this up.
so where do you get the proper file?
i have the same problem, and a full wi[e has not helped here..
kindly give the correct link.
thanks once again

Before you wanna flash. Don't forget to uncheck reactivation lock, put off your external sd card. And look carefully for your modem and radio. Don't switch with the another kernel before official launch comes.

Yes, the reactivation lock did it for me too. I was stuck at exactly the same point and couldn't think of why, and this didn't even come to mind. In fact, I forgot that I even did that, but it worked. !!!

Help please, I have a (Note 3) SM-N900V on JSS15J.N900VVRUBMJE.
I bought it on Jan 12th ish, and took the firmware update as soon as I saw it because of some reading I had done.... shouldn't have done that I guess.
I am still totally unable to root this thing, Kingo, Odin v3.0.9. I am willing to do w/e (go back to older firmware even if possible)
I know there are no guarantees in this attempt, and would not hold you to anything, I have rooted every other android I have had and am very familiar with the process, any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated

[Q] Rerooting Samsung I337

I apologize if my situation is here somewhere. I have read through so many forums and can't find what I need, plus I am sort of new at this. So here goes.
I rooted my Samsung I337 about 8 months ago for the first time. I can't remember exactly how, but I followed a thread here to do it. It worked perfectly! I then flashed the Golden Eye rom to it through TWRP. I have loved it since then. I did a back up of my original rom on my phone from the start. Well, I decided yesterday to unroot it. I followed the directions from a thread here and it seems to have worked except that when I turn it on, the custom screen is first. However, I have no supersu and when I try to get rooting apps it tells me I need to root my phone. So I assume it worked.
Well, I have used it for a day and now remember why I rooted it in the first place. I want to put it back but can't seem to do that. I downloaded Odin, connected my phone, and when I try and download the file to it, it fails. This is what I get.

The only thing I can see is that I am told the COM port should be yellow and mine is blue. Does that make a difference? What could the issue be? Any help would be awesome!

Ok, I figured it out. I went about it a different way. Odin wasn't working for me so I went the route of Motochopper and it worked perfectly.
Now, my question is, before I rooted again I wanted to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3. However, every time it tried, it failed. Each time it would download the update it would reboot to TWRP and then I would get the "something interrupted the download" so it wouldn't finish. How would I get around that? How do I get the update?

Don't. Getting the update will lock your bootloader and you won't get TWRP and any ROM freedom anymore. If you want 4.3, use the StockUp ROM or something. Then you can still switch to something like Google Edition 4.4.2 or any other ROM if you ever want to.

Tried flashing another stock ROM trying to get back to stock from root. That didn't work. Then I flashed this and am able to boot. But my mobile data icon is just 4G instead of being 4G LTE (or LTE), and I'm missing the WiFi calling button as well.
So, I probably need to flash the radios and everything with this. So, do I flash the AP first from the ZIP, then everything else after, or can I flash them all at once? Not an experienced ODIN user. Only used it a handful of times.

Yes you must flash all parts of this to be on stock PI4 ROM. But remember that you will lose root and not get it back.

Thanks, guys. Those were the answers I was looking for.

Hello I want to say thank you for providing the T-Mobile Firmware Package for restoring the Note 7 to its original state after a Rooting atampt botched up. I also had this problem but now restored the phone with the supplied firmware. Thank you.
I do have one problem though. The firmware supplied has the first update with the annoying Safety Recall statement in that hugh box while plug is inserted, pulled out and turned on. I like to know if you can supply the original firmware that the phone came boxed with or if you have some kind of way of getting rid of that stupid annoying big box message that pops up all the time.
And again thank you so much.

Ok I feel like a dumb ass,
This has to be the most complicated root, update I have ever seen. I accidently hit update earlier today which reduced my battery life to 60% I tried living with it today and it was driving me absolutely nuts I thought about taking the phone in and getting a damn iphone just because I'm tired of messing around with this phone..... I tried to root using post one however it keeps failing, I tried rooting using post 2 that also failed. I tried going back one firmware version that also didn't work, I tried doing the samsung smart switch recovery it asks for a code I tried the serial of the phone and model number that also didn't work. Can someone please explain either how to get root from the newest firmware or to revert back to a older firmware that dosen't have this stupid battery restriction. The information of my phone is below .

I than did a quick search had someone suggest checking "re-partition" that also failed with the same error. After rebooting the phone it wouldn't boot anymore and was stuck at "an error has occured while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software"
So I gave that a go and it tells me that the device is not supported after doing the model and serial number lol.

I was able to stop the 60% update with package disabler, but was also trying to go back to pgc update...getting the same fails as you. 3 Button into recovery and wipe everything then reboot. Should start you fresh to use the phone

If only it was that easy. As of now I can't even get into android it fails to boot. I cleared cache and factory reset and still won't boot. I'm sure I will have to flash now for sure from recovery or download mode. I think Samsung is ****n with us somehow to not let us flash.

The same thing happened to me. I re-flashed to the recent firmware I had installed originally (the one with the big ugly safety recall message from September). I flashed everything at once BL, AP, CP and CSC(I used the HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5 named file because I was returning to stock)
This site appears to be an archive for all Android devices. You can find the firmware of your phone using the model going back to launch date.

I think you will find this thread useful as well. It contains definitions and explanations on flashing and working with Odin. I just wish there was more information.
Good luck

[Guide] - eSim Firmware Flash/ Odin Upgrade/ Flashing and N986U to N986U1 & Vice Versa

Instructions are updated to get eSIM​INTRODUCTION - 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
OR​1. 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 5​5 . 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 2​HOW 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 3​Going 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.
FAQ​Can 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 ​

I am having trouble with flashing the firmware onto my device. I am trying to convert my SM-N986U to SM-986U1 but every time I try to flash it I get an error. I have everything downloaded and prepared for it but I keep getting errors.

Yes tell us more, what are the errors you are getting?

So I'm kinda nervous. I got a message that ATID didn't like the current build. Said error when booted. Only options were to try again, factory reset, or view logs. I have the sm-n986u1

ATID didn't like the current build?? Never heard of that error. Do you have a screenshot. How did you flash? Did you use Odin? You can always try again.. And worst case force reboot your phone..

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

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.
