Hello guys,i hope i won`t bother you to long with my thread .I`ve recently got a sgs with 2.2 froyo and now i am thinking of flashing gingerbread on it . I am reading and reading all the posts on this forum for 2 days now and i think i`m ready but i need your aproval on this.
So now my pda is i9000xwjpa ,and i`ve searced on sammobile the right rom for my location (romania that is ) and i`ve selected xxjvu for open europe because my country does not apear listed there so i belive that open europe is the one (that was the first thing on witch i need it aproval) .
Second thing, i have downloaded from sammobile the i9000 flash program (odin ,like dhaaa ) but i have three versions of it and three pit files. I understand that i have to use the 512 pit ,but what version of odin to use din 3 v1.3 or v1.0 . In my opinion the latest the better no ?
third, i will use this tutorial over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050 is it wrong to use it ?
Another thing ,i don`t want to do backup because i don`t need nothing except contacts but i have them on my sim alwready will they be erased to?
And the last thing do i have to take the sim out of the phone ?
Thanks ,and i hope you won`t get upset of this thread ,i know that this is a very very very large forum and i have watched the clip from the first page ,but i don`t have anyone to talk to and i don`t afford to lose my phone or it`s gps function cause i depend in a sort of way on them . Thanks again for your suport

Get your firmware here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14273101
Ramad provide trustworthy, clean and original FirmWare and the knowledge to apply it to the phone.

hi
im having some problem with my phone and i need the orignal DDJP4
was searching around could not find it ie I want the original DDJP4 as a onepack to flash not rooted & deodexed .so i can give my phone for service.Yes i know i can flash JP2 & get it via kies
but it too much of a process. kindly help me reg the same
edit : i found it this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14828418&postcount=10
can any one tell me if this is a one pack flash or what
Dont really know if this is deodexed or not but most probably it isnt
See this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14835355&postcount=12
I didnt find stock JP4(odexed-as we get it from kies)
So you can flash JP2 and give it to service center
Wont matter coz it Official Indian Froyo
So JP2 or JP4 wont matter to service center guys

i have a galaxy s which i flashed to remove t-moble branding, now not sure why but i can't get wifi working so want to go back to stock firmware. the problem is which is the correct version for me.
my phone is galaxy s gt-i9000 and was originally locked to to t-mobile UK. i'm looking on the stock firmware and odin guide but i haven't got a clue which one is suitable. i've also got a message in kies saying that 'your device does not support software upgrading via kies'.
please can someone advise me how to get the phone working correctly again? don't care if i have to go back to t-mobile branding as look as it works with wifi.
Hi Rincal...
first question.. did you have your galaxys unlocked to make it sim free by a shop or market seller.. if you havent.. this will cause problems, so make sure you get that done.. its about £15.
2nd) The latest stock firmware is 2.3.6.. the xda team have Eu stock ROM threads.. look in "development", but if you cant find it.. use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596 - although i think there will be a newer version out now.. in the PIT folder, use PIT-512.
Here is a full abc flash guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
Follow it to the letter, this is how I learned.. even though Ive had no problems, you flash your sgs rom at your own risk.. make sure you read it through first before you flash anything and always backup your data 1st.
Please note: This is not my work.. please thank and respect the xda teams named in the threads.
If anyone reading this thread can give better guides or links, please point the way
Good luck

hi NightOrchid
i used a market app called galaxy s unlock to unlock it myself. it was working find after that, the problems started after rooting and flashing.
i'll try your suggestions and let you know the outcome. i've already tried flashing with a few firmwares but always have the wifi problems. should say that apart from wifi and kies the rest of the phone seems to work ok with other firmwares.
Hi Guys,
I unfortunately ****ed my Galaxy y pro, so i had to reflash it via odin but i flash it some strange rom. Now i would like to reflash it with the original one which is also more recent then this one, unfortunately kies is not allowing me to do so. So i need to apply some workarounds and for that i need the original details.
So guys can you please provide me with the PDA/PHONE/CSC for the Czech or at least some western european rom details?
You can acquire the details by entering *#1234# in phone, this will enter the service mode and show the
PDA
PHONE
CSC
Can you post this information?
After that can you please enter *#272*YOURIMEI#
this will write down the PC code can you please post this information also?
Hopefully i will be able to find the latest original rom via ?Check Fus with your details,
thank you very much!

Hi,
I guess there will be one generic for central Europe. I already acquired some details from one GT B5510 sold in CZ, I'm just waiting for the product code.
After that we will see what fus will offer me
but so far I'm using one netherlands rom and it runs fine - only few minor problem which i was also experiencing in the begining when i bought the phone - sd card disconnects and no network but both this issues occurred just once
So maybe at the end I will just stick with the Netherlands ROM, cos anyway it looks completly like the one which I had before with new gui for picking up the calls.

To fix the sd card problem try changing the kernel, I had my phone with that problem and I fixed it with this way. Just look the Doky's thread about kernels

Hello all
Seeing as my last thread got closed because I asked about writing MY OWN IMEI back to my phone manually (which apparently is illegal... not sure why...) I decided to ask a couple of different questions instead:
1: Will installing a custom ROM fix my IMEI?
2: Can I install a custom ROM on my I9300 which is currently locked to Three
3: Why is it illegal to write MY OWN IMEI (found behind my battery) back to my device that is corrupted?
Thanks
Have you searched the forum for the imei / serial fix?

1.Tell me what u 've done u lost ur imei?
2. What u mean?
3. In many countries changing IMEI is illegal. That can only be done only by official services. Even restoring ur own imei can in that fact is illegal cuz u r not allowed serbice. Second thing even if u tell "I want to do it for myself only" that not mean its 100 % sure. Even if u tellthe true, some other ppl can lock at our instructions and do this illegal. I think that is the reason why u've got closed the old topic.

I have spent three days searching forum after forum after forum, trying all these different "fixes" that only seem to work on versions of the S3 that I don't have. All the fixes seem to be for Qualcomm models etc and mine is UK.

1 - flashed stock unbranded 4.3 rom which changed efs to v2, then reverted back to different variations of 4.04 and 4.1.2 trying to cure the "Not Registered On Network" issue I was having. This has seemingly damaged my efs folder which I did not back up (as I didn't even know about this folder)
2 - My I9300 is currently sim-locked to accept only sim cards from the Three UK network
3 - Thanks, this point is much clearer now.

1. When u updated rom to 4.3 ur /EFS files got changed to v2. If u didnt made backup of thats files u cant downgrade low than 4.3
Keep 4.3 with MK6 ota update and IMEI will be fine.
2. Simlock is not same as brand of firmware. U can use any brand or unbranded rom. Branded rom=bloatware from operator, most of them useless, if want to uninstall it u need root cuz those app are preinstaled with rom in ur system. If u want warranty, use branded soft from ur operator. If want smooth and good system w/o trashes use unbranded soft.
3. Want to thanks? Press my thanks buttom

I am not sure that's completely correct.
My understanding is that EFS changed to v2 from July 2013 XXEMG* onwards. "This means if you have flashed an official ROM (or custom ROM based on official) from July 2013 (MG* or newer), you are now in a situation whereby only an EFS v2 baseband (MG* or newer) can read the IMEI in /EFS." This therefore also includes the latest versions of 4.2.1.

Hi, i have a problem and i need a little help!
My sister gave me this Huawei p9 lite VNS-L21C02B346.
From what i can understand the code means that this model is for Greece (c02 is for Vodafone Europe). I think that's ok because when it turns on i can see a Vodafone logo!!
So i am in B346 version, and with a little search i did i see some b393 versions for example but i see that this versions is for Europe (c432).
So i would like to know if i can install this version in my phone. I try to download these versions from 2 different sites and make a dload folder in my sd card with UPDATE.APP file in it and try to update and from dialer and from reboot with holding volume up and down key. But with these two methods when the update starts it fails in 5% and the only choice is to reboot the phone......
I am doing something wrong or is something else i am missing ....
Thanks a lot

Hello,
you've been much lucky you haven't bricked your device this way...
I suggest you to keep phone as is because rebrand needs some complicated procedures.
In any case i can tell you how to proceed, here you are...
1 - you need to unlock bootloader. ( can use DC-UNLOCKER to grab your code )
2 - flash a custom recovery for android 7. ( EliteTWRP 3.1.1-1 shoul do the work )
3 - Find and download L21C432oeminfo for dual sim + VNS-L21C432B504 FULL OTA MF ( three (3) files ) ( you can use Firmware Finder ).
4 - Use REBRAND following THIS GUIDE.
5 - Don't forget to thank developers who created those guides.
6- Enjoy.
Best regards
P.S.: Make all opportune backups because some of those procedures will factory reset your device. :fingers-crossed:
P.S.2: If something goes wrong do not point your finger at me, you do at your own risk...
Thanks for the answer first of all!
No in any way i am never going to point you for anything! I know the risks, my old phone i have been really hard with it by changing roms every week!!! Never broke!!
this is a new phone and i don't know it yet!
Well the most important reason i would like to update is for security reasons (newer version), i don't really have a problem with the phone as it is.... (if you exclude the sickness for changing roms and play with phone!!!) but i think Vodafone in Greece will never give an other update for that phone.
So to get it right, for any rom change (stock or custom) we have to unlock bootloader is that right?
Thanks again for your time

Hey greecian friend, yes it's right, and rebrand will help keep security updates.
You should have not problem doing the work, only pay attention when flash oeminfo file.
Feel free to ask.
See you
P.S.: You wrote you wanted to install B393... well it is for single sim model. ( if i'm not wrong you are dual sim B346;
firmware that ends with 'even' numbers = dual sim; ends with 'odd' numbers = single sim )
Well thanks again!
For start i think i have a problem for start! If i understand right from all i have read, huawei stop giving codes for unlock the bootloader, so first step problem i think! And i didn't understand if it is safe (works 100%) to get a code from HCU Software and pay!)
I saw you have aosp 8.1, everything working in this ROM?

Worst thing may happen is throw away 4 €, no one can assure you 100% will work.
I know you can use that money for better personal stuff, choise remains yours.
Till a couple of months this method worked, read THIS thread, member ba_baracuss done a rebrand
like you starting from C02 vodafone firmware to C432 EU unbranded one.
Read AOSP 8.1 thread too, atleast last 10 posts, you'll find a member that came from Greece just like you.
See you man
P.S.: Oreo rom have some little bugs, but with some twicks became usable for daily driver.
