This is the safest and fastest ROM available to flash on Pakistani GT-i9000 devices.
Download the zip folders from these 2 links and then extract them first:
http://hotfile.com/dl/119740568/d18d...6_Sbl.exe.html
http://hotfile.com/dl/119386723/337b...files.exe.html
Then open odin from the 2nd folder, put your phone into download mode by pressing volume down+menu key+power on,
connect it via usb cable to laptop,
whenn added is shown in odin, just put the PDA+PHONE+CSC files into odin and click start. (do not re-partition)
After 5min you're done
Just factory reset your phone for first time and enjoy gingerbread. This ROM is quite much a battery saver and extremely fast.
For complete data wipe and format complete phone to eradicate bugs already present, use PIT file also and check repartition before clicking Start Update in Odin,
then after 5min you're done. just start using your phone. no need to reset

Ok, for those of you who want/need to wipe your phone so that it deletes EVERYTHING so that you get it back to your "Out of the Box" status. I have the answer!
First: Back up What ever you want/need to back up.
Then: MAKE SURE YOU BACKED UP WHAT YOU WANT/NEED!!!!!
DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE YOU SAVED YOUR STUFF!!-Did I make myself clear that you will LOSE EVERYTHING!!!
Read This: T-Mobile Support Community: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2500
To do another reset, that will possibly leave some cache on the phone ( I know this, as I have done it and it left info on it).
Follow these directions:
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may erase all downloaded content, including ringtones, images, programs, and contacts stored in the internal memory. It does not erase data stored on the SIM card or memory card (if available).
To perform a hard reset, follow these steps.
1. Back up all necessary data that is on the internal memory. See: Back up device files: Samsung Galaxy S II
2. From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
3. Tap Settings.
4. Tap Privacy.
5. Tap to clear the Backup my data an Automatic restore check boxes, if desired. (you might have to clear Automatic Restore first, the Back my Data)
6. Tap Factory data reset.
7. Tap Reset phone.
8. Tap Erase everything.
9. If prompted, enter the password.
ยท Note: The default password is 1234.
10. Tap OK.
11. If necessary, enter and confirm the password again.
12. Tap OK.
With that all said and done, now to the Good way to Really reset your device.
First: MAKE SURE YOU SAVE WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO SAVE!! I backed up my folders and my SD card just in case, using Samsung Kies found Here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Bare with me, as I am doing this from memory. I performed it like 3 times yesterday.
1. Start with the phone powered off.
2. Hold the followling 3 buttons all at once starting in this order, Sound UP, Sound Down and Power. (Yes, you will need to use 2 hands).
3. Once the Samsung Android Screen pops up (the second Samsung Screen) release the Power button and keep holding the Volume Down. You will get a bunch of commands (like 4 or 5), First I chose to wipe my Cache, then I chose the option to "Factory Reset Out of the Box" Status. To move where you want to go, simply use the volume up and down. Then to select the item you want, touch your HOME key on the bottom of the phone.
That's it!! You now have your phone back to the first day you bought it. If you didn't back up your apps, they you just have to spend time reinstalling them all over again..
When you start by setting it up, don't allow it to restore your info/settings. I think it's like the 3rd or 4th screen after you touch the Android to start setting it up. Just unclick the box's...or box..like I said, I did it over 24 hrs ago, and more than once...testing it out each time for different things..This one way made sure everthing was gone and I started out fresh.
Hope this helps!!

No it won't. I know that because I had to give O2 my Galaxy S2 to change my defect display. I already had rooted it and therefore the "custom-download-counter" wasn't 0 again. In order to get a flashed/rooted phone back to the "out of the box status" you need to:
1. Install a stock firmware & kernel
2. Perform a hard reset*
3. Use a special "USB-Jig" to reset the counter.
* I used the number, then removed the folders/files like "MIUI" and the images of the custom-roms I flashed. Then I bored into the recovery and cleared the cache.

I confirm that this the only way to reset to out of the box, especially on custom kernels or root
You need to flash a full ROM through the new JIG cable not the old JIG. Old JIG won't reset counter
Be aware, most new ROMs here include old SBL and not the original to avoid the old JIG blacklisting
Better use an untouched "one file" ROM from samfirmware or grab your own ROM from Kies temps folder while it updates your phone
I personally like this way:
1- Use Odin through new JIG to flash an old official untouched ROM, 2.2.1 or older
2- Use KIES to originally update to the last official firmware, disable backup phone during this step
3- Hard reset and format internal SD card

They won't bother to check if it's the new bootloader or old bootloader. Why do you guys like to make things complicated. Occam's razor.
Also, unless Ben has updated Heimdall with the info I passed along from Odia or we get a new version of Odin, even if you use an integrated Jig cable the counter will not reset.
Simple way to get fully reset:
1. Flash desired firmware and reboot
2. Dial *2767*3855#
Job done.

Hi to all. This is a very simple guide to revert back to the Stock rom that came with your phone.
Odin is not needed, also no special skills needed. All you need is a PC with Samsung Kies installed.
Kies is best to be updated to latest version. latest one is 08-01-2013
So, let's start. If you were rooted and the custom binary counter has increased, please use TriangleAway prior to this guide.
1-) Open up Kies with phone disconnected, but keep it powered up cause you will need it for the serial number.
2-)Navigate here (tools) (picture 1) and select the 3d option (software upgarade and preparation). you will get this Enter GT-N7100 press confirm.
3-) enter your phones serial number(picture 3) wich you can find either under the battery or by navigating to yout phone Settings- About device- Status- Serial
Number. Press confirm. after pressing confirm you will be presented with a dialog which lets you know that the device will be wiped. Press Confirm again.
4-) you will now be presented with the version (picture4, it is for my phone. you will have maybe other) that is the latest for your phone and your serial number. press confirm and wait for the first download (picture5). wait till it finishes.
5-)in the next screen (picture 6) read and select Agree. put your phone in download mode by pressing volume down+ home button+ power on. do not release the buttons till the phone is in the screen that tells about warning. press volume up.
connect phone to PC and press down at Start Update button.
this will take a while to download cause the update is about 1GB.
wait till it finishes and phone boot up.
Set up as usual.
Hope it helps.
Wow, thanks!
I hust have a question about this, for example, if i ever want to rollback to carrier stock ROM, i should follow the steps above? If we do this, are we going to enable OTA carrier updates as long as we don't root the phone, right?

Thanks... This is good to know. Question though... I live in Canada and my device was a UK version that I bought from a store here in Edmonton, Alberta. That being said... Will Kies be able to find my proper STOCK firmware given my location or does it find it based soley on the serial number?
It finds it base on serial number. If is is a UK device it will install the latest one for the specific serial number and UK.

Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?

Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.
no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.

Hi,
The device is rooted by default.
Still waiting for custom rom. Seems it will take a time.
Can anyone please provide me with a backup of a stock recovery image to cs918 plus? I have replaced the original one with TWRP and now I cannot update the device with new firmware because I cannot find the stock recovery anywhere.
You can easy make a backup copy of stock recovery with Flashify app then put it into the internet and give me a link so I can download it and flash it into my CS918 plus.
Thanks in advance guys!
Please help
I can't upgrade my firmware either cuz I can't even figure out how to get into recovery, I'll get you a copy of stock recovery when I am home tomorrow.

To flash a new firmware use that instruction:
To get a new firmware type in google: "csrk3288p 20150609", enter the link location and download the file from the web site.
(Unfortunately I cannot put the exact link because I am a new user)
Then put the unpacked downloaded file into the main directory of your external sd card (/mnt/external_sd/) and change the file name from t031_8723bs_CSQ_splaire_20150609.img on update.img.
Then turn on the device but first hold down the button at the bottom of device and keep holding it until you willl get into recovery or install the "Reboot recovery" app.
Then you can choose "data/factory reset" but you don't have to - be careful that will erase all your apps and data installed but will not erase your external sd card.
Then choose "update rkimage from external storage" to flash new firmware.
PS. To navigate in recovery I'm using external keyboard connected to one of USB ports.
If you will have any troubles just ask.
I would be grateful for the stock recovery image for CS918 PLUS device.
Does anyone know if there even is a Source drop for this device ? What methods are used to flash a new rom/firmware ?
I don't have the device but can look at the code.

I don't have the firmware of cs918 plus, but I know how to flash the firmware. I think the procedure is same with cs918 and all rockchip based android tv box.
Using the RKBatch Tool to flash the firmware.
1. Connect to your computer with micro usb cable when device is off
2. Hold reset and power on
3. If one of connected device turn green, browse to the firmware (*.img)
4. Press "Restore" button and wait. Remember "Restore" button, not "Upgrade"

Can't you pull the recovery from the firmware update IMG? I figured out how to update firmware from SD card but used a app called reboot to get into recovery because there's no button on the bottom of my device. That firmware from 0609 called splaire is horrible as is the 2nd newest firmware. I with I had never updated mine it was better before...
I just spent an hour trying to get the recovery for u using flashify, it says it backed it up to SD card but its nowhere to be found on it, it says it backed up to dropbox but the folder it created on Dropbox is empty... Any other way to backup the recovery for u?
