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.

lol this has been posted like 3 times now

Thats weird because I looked for official TMO SM-N910T files and couldnt find them. They were all modified or developer preview versions not release versions. Also mine includes the AP, BL, CP, and CSC flashes.

So it's the sm-910t not the t3 version.
and you're right. The other post is for the sprint version. I'm getting a fail! (Auth) when I try to flash it

is that what it is you were afraid of? I was stealing your thunder? Either way I was just trying to help out, there are multiple versions out all slightly different and theres nothing wrong with mirrors if in fact you have the same 4 flashes in your zip.

Thunder? Hardly, I could care less. This is not a popularity contest. Hence why my donate link doesn't even go to me.
I too was simply trying to also help out. There is no need for multiple posts of the exact same thing. (you were not the only one)
Some of the other posts were actually the wrong file and were bricking devices. I simply wanted to make sure people had the 100% for sure one.
Also AFH mirrors the file 6 times and is much faster then MEGA.
In addition typically/historically speaking stock firmware are usually posted in the Development section. (not a rule, I dont think)
4 flashes? What do you mean? There is one tar file in my zip.
---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
Actually to add; Your post is very useful I would just re-word the title. (and if possible request that it is moved to dev)
Your title "Tmobile 6.0.1 ODIN files" is not very detailed and a poor choice of words for what you posted.
Including the model of the phone and the build version of the firmware you posted would be more helpful. (there are two different models of the Note 4 for T-Mobile)
Because you got the files from Kies it contains the firmware split into separate files.
AP - Main ROM Platform
BL - Bootloader
CP - Modem
CSC - Region / Carrier Data
These things are very useful for some "power users".
However to many users this can be very confusing to flash with Odin and would need further explanation.
The Firmware I posted is what every one is accustomed to. (a tar you flash via Odin in PDA/AP)
---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------
Then again it looks like this guy posted all of those files well before any of us. Dunno what to say at this point.

Ok does that help out. I changed the title hope that helps, Im still new to posting files like this but Ill get the hang of it eventually. As for requesting the move I dont know how to do that.
As for sammobile, yes they almost always have it immediately but unless you have a paid subscription you'll be downloading for half the day, which is why I uploaded to a different place.

I rather run from a jaguar then go to that site.

The site makes you jump through so many hoops and like I said if you dont pay for a subscription the downloads are a few hours.

interesting. sammobile is slow but downloads usually take two hours top on good or regular days. yes, some days have had to start over a couple times so took all day because so slow and congested. was just putting it out there. sammobile isn't my first choice but it reliable and occasionally the firmware makes it there faster than here.

Thanks for the link. This is my first time seeing this link and I have google searched a bunch of them. So I googled specific to this model and I came to this link. Usually when I see xda I automatically check here first because I have had a lot of success in doing so thanks to users like yourself and many others. Keep up the good work ladies and gents.

N910t "virgin"
please, does it work with all operators ?

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! I wanted to try out RR N on my Note 4 SM-N910T. I really love RR however during some phone calls, the caller couldn't hear me. A few other glitches. I tried all day today to switch back to stock and all the fireware I tried from SDA links failed in Odin. What a waste of a day!
Your link, even though it was mentioned was double posted, was the only one that came up in Google, and saved my phone! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!
Now I am just going to keep it rooted, Keep stock Rom, and use my paid version of Nova. I did like RR though. But I would rather a working phone best.

Look for a thread where you posted with BQA6 Odin files. It has a full guide.
Odin Program
http://samsungodin.com/
Odin Files
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71343011
Adb installer
https://androidmtk.com/download-15-seconds-adb-installer
Here are the files for an ATT phone. I'll link the guide too...
Can't find the link but you need to download adb installer, a Google search will bring up a quick installer, then you need to download odin, I believe the latest will work, then boot to download mode which is reboot, hold the home/volume down/and power button after the Samsung shutdown screen goes away. Put the files where they belong into odin and flash. Each file will be listed as AP, CSC, BL and I forget the 4th. Easy peasy.

I haven't had the experience of hiemdall since the first Galaxy. Why don't you download the files and find a windows computer? Put them on a flash drive. No one has mentioned​ that program in these threads that I've seen.

I tried everything with two different windows laptop as well but it doesn't work... I would like to install android 8.0. I followed step by step the guide but nothing... dev_type problem.

If you want to update your (i'm just assuming) S7 Edge from AT&T you could check this link (here should've been a url link but apperently i can't attach links because i don't have 10 posts ) just search for androidfilehost on google (and search for G935A if you have an AT&T phone or search for the model number in setting s> about phone > software information > Baseband version *the first 5 are the model number*) , with all of the updates working , i am using the latest one uploaded by ITSAJUJA , they're working all you need is odin , you gotta unzip the zip file , plug in your phone ,put the files in the correct order, have the phone in downloading mode with oem unlocked and usb debugging and you're all good to go. You can also search for other models on that site . I hope i was of any help . Have fun updating !

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:

Good luck!

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.
