hello there. my brother upgraded my sumsung galaxy s to an unofficial froyo update for the galaxy s. i am in uk. he said he did something with kies "regedit" and he installed the firmwire into my phone. i used the phone for a day and there are many many errors and force closings. is there a way i can downgrade to 2.1 and wait for the official release for my tmobile uk branded( though ive unlocked the phone) cell phone? please tell me there is a way.
I did the same, so after the update i started to get lots of unexpected closes, freezes and also cant send mms now, managed to reconfigure the the apn to mms and internet, managed to get internet working but still unable to send mms.
And now im thinking on rooting the mobile so maybe i can solve this another way.
Though if there is anybody that can advise me on how to solve this now i would be grateful.
Thanks

Hi all,
A little while ago I screwed up one of the software tweaks in the app 'Galaxy S Tweaker', then my phone would not boot. So I decided I might as well attempt to flash an I9000 Froyo ROM (can't remember the exact one at them moment, but either JP3 or JM5, I think.) and it is running great! except for one pretty big thing...my phone doesn't work as a, well, phone. It simply says: 'no service' and I'm obviously not able to send/receive text messages or calls.
Before I had 'bricked' my phone, I had it unlocked and running fine on the Telus network here in Canada. (I used the popular method as detailed in a different XDA thread, but it would seem as though Samsung has patched that, because I tried that method again, but to no avail.)
I would also like to note that I have tried 2 online unlocking services, and BOTH of them have come up negative, saying they can't retrieve an unlock code for my device!
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Dylan
..hi..
..came here as i own a sgt for three weeks and this forum has provided great help for me in getting to know my device better and better..
..i am thinking of flashing my sgt to the most recent euro firmware, BUT it is
1) orange branded (purchased in austria/europe)
2) has fw BVJI3/BVJJ2 installed
3) and typing in the appropriate code it tells me that it is not network locked or sim locked..
..is it possible to flash this sgt to a newer fw-version (would i lose the branding..?..fine....) or do i have to be aware as it is running some kind of provider specific fw now (i suppose)..can i change from a provider specific fw to any other newer fw..?
..right from the factory i missed the music hub and the readers hub which i have installed now..they are working (but i miss zinio..tells me that the service is coming soon..and i miss the news..tells me the same)..which is one of the reasons i want to flash..
..have been trying to update the fw via kies but it says that the device cannot be updated (so i suppose there is no official update for it right now)..
..been reading a lot at sam-fw, but have not been able to get an answer to this until now..
..any help highly appreciated..thx a lot..
..hmm..no idea anyone..?....
..just a small *bump*..
It is no problem. I flashed mine (Orange Austria) to P1000XXJM6 and no problem.
But you need to manually set the connection to Internet (APN etc.) as well as MMS.
Just one request: before flashing could you dump the rom? I did not make this and would like to have a copy just in case I want to revert it back to its original state.
Thank you everybody in advance for the help you may provide.
Please could you help me to understand if i can fix my scl23?
This is the thing.
I got myself a KDI au gs5 scl23 with kitkat 4.4 and as i understand its rooted with a custon recovery, beacaus of the sim unlock, and the recovery its in japanese.
The phone works fine, but when i try to use it on ultra saving mode, its says that it`s samsung account isnt activated and doesnt allow me to change it(in the settings of the phone there isnt a way to change samsung account). So it bugs on that samsung account, and doesnt allow me to use internet and the keyboard when im on the ultra saving mode. By the way i live in Argentina and cant find anyone who speaks Japanese.
So, Trying to fix this samsung account problem i upgraded to lollipop 5.0, but it lock the phone and it doesnt get any antena signal, its says insert a sim, but there is no "no sim" mesage on the mesage board.
And now im dowloading the 4.4 firmaware files to downgrade it to 4.4 and to unlock it whith service menu commands.
Have anyone been able to unlock it with service menu on lollipop, or in any other way? Beacuase lollipop fixes the samsung account problem but olso locks the phone and installs custom AU rom, only in japanese or english laguage.
Thank you very much to everyone.
same here
This is the same thing that happened to me, did you manage to revert back and unlock the simlock on 5.0? Any luck upgrading to 5.0 and using your sim with the device.
cheers

Ended up downloading the 4.4 rom for phone again, installing that. Had to clear cache and do factory data clear to get phone booting again after downgrading. Then I was able to complete the Sim Unlock steps outlined here

Super frustrating using a phone like this, as it has so much bloatware from Japan which I just want to get rid of. But up and running now, with several replacement mods for keyboard, messenger etc
A lot of information out there, thank you internet and forums like this one for having so much information to get things working again. :victory:
Hello guys i have one big thing to solve here i hope you are going to help me.So here is my problem:
I have an S8(G950U) which i flashed with T-mobile firmware from Sammobile.The phone worked totally fine for 7 days.I even updated the software the day i flashed the phone.Today i just woke up and i got a message on my phone saying that for security reasons your phone is locked.Now i cant even use T-mobile(Macedonia card),and not even my main operator(VIP MKD).Can someone help me what i can do? The phone is snapdragon,and the IMEI IS: 355987080853152. Its not blacklisted i did check it out.
I have 2 questions only:
1.Do phones get locked when you flash it with carrier firmware?
2.Can i flash the phone with some other firmware so its going to get in working phase again.
Thanks to everyone that is going to help.Kind regards

Hey guys, hope someone can help this idiot out here.
I have an s8+, purchased from Argos in the UK unlocked, using it with a 3 sim card.
Over the weekend I got the oreo update, let it run and then realised I no longer had wifi-calling (kind of a major thing in my house)
After a bit of googling I saw I wasn't the only one, so I decided to try and downgrade it to Noughat using Odin.
I managed to do it, kinda (yet still no wifi calling) but I can't seem to find the right poxy firmware for it! Each one I try has different things in the settings menu that wernt' there before or things that when you click the phone crashes completely.
I've tried just about every one listed on Sammobile and getting nowhere! Listed under Galaxy S8+ SM-G955F
Any help appreciated.
Self update.
Just flashed it with the 8.0 3 Branded Firmware.
Got my wifi calling back and the settings menus look about right!
Just need to get rid of all the 3 bloatware now tho
