[TUT] T-Mobile UK Upgrading/root/lag fix and De-branding.

I take no credit for any of this work. I have added it all to one post to help make life a little easier for those who are wanting help in getting rid of any need of waiting for T-Mobile to release any firmware again. Credits will be added to all post at the bottom of the respective page. This TUT will also work with other networks.
If you have 3 Button Download mode you can jump to page 2.
Post 1: 3 Button Download Mode.
Post 2: Upgrade to Froyo.
Post 3: Rooting and lag fix.
Post 4: De-Branding.
3 Button Download.
I have run out of time to add this today i will finish off tomorrow. For now follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698

Upgrade to Froyo.
PRELIMINARY NOTE:
[WARNING!] Do Not flash Any ROM (firmware) until you can get the 3 buttons DOWNLOAD MODE working, even with this Kies trick.
If you want to test the 3 buttons download mode then notice that you can switch back to normal mode by pulling the battery out and then back in. At the next boot the phone will be back in normal mode.
LAGFIX USERS:
[WARNING!] Remember to disable lagfix before to update.
This will avoid filesystem errors that may occurs at the boot of the new flashed firmware.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Download latest Kies Registry Patcher, tool is attachment. Note: It require Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later version.
2) Update Kies to 1.5.3.10103.102.
3) Launch Kies Registry Patcher; If you patched the dll in the past with an older version of the patcher then be sure to launch new release as administrator since it have to revert the dll to the original version as the patch isn't needed anymore (Right click on application > Run as Administrator).
4) Launch Kies and connect your phone; Wait for Kies to recognize it properly.
5) You have 2 possibilities now:
5a) Drop down the combo-box "Spoof Product Code as" and select the wanted one. It should automatically fill the "Spoof Software Revision as" textbox with the needed data necessary to find your update.
This feature was added in order to give all the opportunity to use the needed product code. (Special thanks to MCOGW that shared with me his database of product codes/sw revisions).
The label above will be completed with the country related to the chosen product code.
5b) From patcher select:
File > Load Backup
Open the backup that you want to use (e.g. kies-backup-XEU.xml if you want to spoof your phone as XEU, or if your phone is XEU yet and you want to flash it again).
6) From patcher answer "YES" in order to apply the registry update.
7) From Kies you can now update as normal.
Remeber that this patch will remain ACTIVE until you set "Enable Spoof" field to False!
It's not a problem but ater you update the phone it's suggested to put that value to false so the patch become inactive.

De-branding.
To truly de-brand you need to get rid of the branded product code and have the correct CSC. Follow the steps below.
[WARNING] Make a full backup of your \efs folder just in case you go wrong or any errors occur.
You will need to be rooted and have the root explorer app installed from the market.
Copy your \efs folder to your pc and open nv_data.bin with note pad, Search for TMU and replace with XEU. If you can not find TMU try KOR. Save the file and and copy it back to your \efs folder on your handset. Delete the nv-data.md5 file off the handset and reboot. repeat steps with the nv_data.bak file.
Once completed change your CSC to XEU by typing *#272*(yourimei)# and click on XEU.
Now when Samsung release a new update you will get it straight away.
Sorry if I have missed any people in the credits. Please post with name and post number if poeple need to be added.

I'm rather new to all this and before I attempt to update my T-Mobile Galaxy S using the described 5(a) option, I would appreciate some advice, please.
I understand the instructions right up to the end of para 5(a) but at this point there is no "yes" button to click. However, there is a "Read Registry" button. Presumably I click this and will then be asked the click a "Yes" button to proceed with the update.
What then happens? What should I expect to see on the PC and on my phone?
Some step-by-step instructions would be much appreciated to boost my confidence!
P.S. I've already checked that I have the three-button system restore active on my phone.

Ain't done no root because I wil be ****ed if it bricks and I don't know no way of rooting without restore mode.

I've been running 2.2 on my T-Mobile UK Galaxy S for some time, but have never used or even installed Kies. I just installed the relevant USB drivers, then flashed a ROM I've downloaded from mirrors linked here with Odin3 (I've always had download mode working properly). Currently I'm using JPO with SpeedMod Kernel K10H, which provides root.

Hi i upgraded via the kies registry way all works well apart from i cant find where to switch between 2g and 3g. It was in mobile networks on 2.1 but its not there now also having issues using myplayer and beebplayer once again they worked in 2.1 but not on froyo atm. other then that alss good

Surely the easiest way to debrand is to just flash a new ROM via ODIN?

Is that way safe, dont want to brick my phone?

I've done a branded Orange and Vodafone by flashing XXJPO via ODIN.
It's very hard to totally brick your phone with ODIN, but there can be complications.
Before you do anything, make sure you have working 3br and download mode. If you don't have it, I don't recommened using Kies or ODIN.

Flashing with odin will not allow u to update with kies when the next release is issued as your product will stay the same and your software versions will be wrong so you will need to use odin again. Plus if odin is used wrong it can brick you phone

Nope, if you flash a full ROM via ODIN, including the CSC, it'll work fine. It'll even work on kies (although i don't know why anyone would want to do that )
Kies can also brick your phone >_>;

With JPM, Kies wouldnt update to JP2.... So i took it to service center with JPM inside, asked them to flash JP2 and they did it....

Kies flashing failed
I was trying to upgrade using kies and the flashing stuck mid way and my phone wont boot now. I tried multiple times to flash using the firmware emergency recovery built in kies but it gets stuck at the same point always (39%).
Any one faced this problem? I am downloading odin files and will try. Let me know if I shouldnt try with odin and rather take the phone to the service center.

flashing with Idiot Kies is very problematic specially if you have win 7 on your pc....I just flashed with Odin...its the better way...
Thanks to all Friends who helped me

It is easy to find Product Code by dialing *#272*imei#*
IMEI number can be found via dialing *#06#
PDA/CSC/Phone info can be found by dialing *#1234# in dialer
Suprnova_ said:
A really good guide, just what I needed.
I would make an addition for regions or product codes that isn't available in this software, for example the nordic region with swedish product code.
To get the firmware thru check fus it is however possible to manually insert the codes needed.
To do this follow these steps:
1. start regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\
2. Start with finding the product code, to do this search for a line called ProductCode and in that line you'll find the product code, in my case it is GT-N7000ZBANEE
This code is what you write in Check Fus in the Product Code field.
3. Now to find the software codes, PDA/CSC/PHONE.
To do this search for a line called HIDSWVER
Here you'll find a long string of codes, In my case it shows up as
N7000XBKK4/N7000OXXKK5/N7000XXKK5/N7000XBKK4
The names in colour are the ones that we want, fill them in as written here.
Purple = PDA
Red = CSC
Green = Phone
Finally, press download and save.
When this continue from step 5.

Got the stock rom, worked without a problem.
But, there is always a but, When I flashed this stock rom with mobile Odin it seemed to work, but when done flashing and rebooting this message shows up "logo_q1.jpeg draw failed"
I have no idea why this happend.
The only thing I could do was to go into download mode.
Solved it however by flashing with odin on pc and it worked again.

That is really helpful. Thank you.
Is it possible to use a different region? I have a UAE version, but would like to use the Europe ROM.

Yes you can by using Odinv3 1.85, see the instruction in original thread for it. you can download firmware either using Fus downloader or from www.sammobile.com or www.tsar3000.com. If you do it using Fus downloader you will have 1 file to flash as PDA

You can actually do even more, you can switch the product code of your Note to make it look like a complete european version. What I did:
-Checked original product code which was KOR (*2767*4387264636#)
-Got AUT (Switzerland) XXKA rom off FusDownloader
-Flashed this rom and repartitioned phone with Odin
-Changed product code to AUT (*#272*[IMEI]#)
-Phone restarted, did complete wipe and applied AUT csc
-My phone now reads as AUT model

Thanks a lot for this guide!
I'm still new to flashing Samsung devices (last week I finally replaced my Milestone with a Note), so this is really helpful.
If I may ask a dumb question though:
Does flashing an official firmware this way revert the phone to stock completely?
I rooted my Note and installed CWM according to dr.ketan's simplified guide and flashed RiverSource's FM-Kernel using Mobile ODIN Pro to get rid of the power drain issue.
But I'm still unsure if I'm going to keep the phone (because its display issues among other things), so I might have to "clean up" the phone again.
Will this guide remove root, CWM and the modified kernel and is it save to return the phone after only following this guide?
Thanks a lot in advance!

i download the official rom that i want but i cannot fin the Q1_20110914_16GB.pit .where is???

[Q] Totally Lost - Samung Galaxy S i9000

Hi Guys,
So I've a Samsung Galaxy S i9000. Before I begin, can I just say I am totally and utterly technically un-savvy.
My friend rooted my phone so I could unlock it to use a particular sim card. However, my phone is now faulty and
I want to bring it back under warranty for repair/possible replacement.
I have this app called "Superuser" and I just cant get rid of it. I have tried a ridiculous amount of different YouTube
videos/blog instructions on how to un-root and delete the Superuser. None of them have worked in regards to removing
the app. I think I have un-rooted it but I don't know. Please please please can somebody help me! I've no idea what to do
and I don't understand 90% of the technical jargon in some of the instructions.
I tried restored it manually on my phone and via Kies but my phone was just totally restored the exact same way as it was
before (all photos,apps,contacts etc.). I've NO problem losing everything on my phone I don't care. The latest thing I tried was
an app where I typed in a code that apparently deletes the Superuser app but that kept saying it wouldn't work because it was a read
only file.
Here are my phones details:
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVO
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWJVH
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks

Make note of the modem firmware by going to settings>about>baseband version
1. Go to samfirmware.com
2. Go to flash tools > I9000 and download it. Extract to desktop.
3. Download stock ROM. firmware> I9000 and then choose the one one that matches the baseband for your area. Like in Canada my baseband is I9000KG3. So that's the ROM I download.
4. Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by pressing volume down + power + home
5. Open Odin from your desktop and plug in your phone.
6. A yellow bar should highlight a com port. This means your phone is recognized, the number doesn't matter.
7. Tick repartition and load 512 put that came with the flash tool, and load your firmware into the PDA section.
8. Start Odin and let it do its magic.
9. When it is done, it might boot loop. Even if it doesn't, reboot into recovery (power off, then power home vol up) and wipe data factory reset.
10. Your phone is 10053-47338282747728728% stock.
11. Hit thanks

Deleting SuperUser will not unroot your phone, check on sammobile.com or checkfus the latest firmware for your country and flash with Odin.
You can find good guides on youtube about how to use it.

Wouldn't it be easier just to run it in recovery and flash unroot.zip file.
I always root my I9001 like this so it should also work in opposite way.
Typed with my I9001

It will leave traces. Best bet is to not.

[GUIDE] Not quite newbie guide for moving to 5.1.1

In one of the development threads a request was made for a step-by-step for transitioning to a 5.1.1 ROM from an earlier version and an example was given from another device. Well I modified the example to make it apply to the Sprint Note 4.
All files needed are linked at the end of this post. This is my first attempt at a guide, so any suggestions for improvement will be gladly accepted.
Prerequisites:
1 - Latest Samsung-USB-Drivers (1.5.55.0) installed
2 - Odin v3.10.6 installed
3 - Two files either on an extsdcard in the phone or on your PC for sideloading through adb:
UBERWIPE.zip (Only for use if you have an extsdcard), BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
**** - If you do not have an extsdcard you will need adb installed on your PC in order to get the SuperSU
file onto your phone for flashing.
Loading Stock OG5:
1 – Run Odin v3.10.6 as administrator
2 – Load the appropriate tar in the AP slot
--If you are on OB7 Bootloader and wish to keep it load Hybrid_OB7sbl_SPT_N910PVPU4COG5.tar
--For complete OG5 upgrade load N910PVPU4COG5_N910PSPT4COG5_N910PVPU4COG5.tar.md5
3 – Click on the ‘Options’ tab avove the Log window
4 – Uncheck the reboot option in Odin.
5 - Click on the ‘Log’ tab above the Log window
6 – Phone off. Enter download mode by holding down Vol Down, Home and Power to first screen presence
7 – Enter download mode by moving cursor – Vol Up.
8 – Plug phone into PC. Drivers are already installed so look for Connection in Odin.
9 – Start Odin on good battery charge. Don’t touch phone until complete, 5-10min.
10 – Close Odin, disconnect cable from phone, turn phone off and remove battery.
Removing the battery is the only way to turn it off at this point. Not exactly true but that's all you need to know. It's the best way.
Rooting via TWRP touch recovery:
1 – Put battery back in and enter download mode as above.
2 – Run Odin as administrator and load twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img.tar in the AP slot
3 – Click on the ‘Options’ tab avove the Log window
4 – Uncheck the reboot option in Odin.
5 - Click on the ‘Log’ tab above the Log window
6 – Plug in phone to PC and watch for Odin to establish connection
7 – Start Odin. It will be quick.
8 – When done close Odin. Unplug phone, Power Down and remove battery.
9 – Replace battery and enter Recovery Mode by holding Vol Up, Home and Power to first screen presence
10 – Let TWRP load
11 – If you don’t have an extsdcard then navigate to Advanced > ADB Sideload and use adb to transfer BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip from your PC to your phone
12 – Navigate back to the main screen the to Install and choose the location of the SuperSU file
13 – After flashing BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip choose Wipe Dalvik/Cache option.
14 - When wipe is completed you have two choices:
--Choose reboot in which case you will have a rooted stock system
--Wipe the current system and install a custom ROM (see below)
If you choose to flash a custom ROM:
1 - Wipe the current system
--If you have and extsdcard with UBERWIPE.zip on it all you need to do is install that zip and when the
recovery automatically reboots your phone will be clean and ready for a new ROM
--If you don’t have an extsdcard I recommend the following:
A - Navigate to the Wipe submenu
B - Perfom a factory reset 3 times
C - Choose format data, type yes on the following screen then enter. Do this 3 times
D - Navigate back to the Wipe submenu and choose Advanced. Then choose everything except extsdcard
and execute. Do this 3 times.
(At this point if you don’t have an extsdcard you will need to navigate Advanced > ADB Sideload and tansfer the ROM of your choice from your PC to your phone)
2 - Navigate to Install and choose the location of your ROM file
3 - When the flash has completed choose the Wipe Dalvik/Cache button
(At this point I always flash the Beta-SuperSU file and wipe Dalvik/cache again, but I’m just OCD)
4 - Reboot the phone and LET IT SIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES before you touch it to set anything up!!!
Here is a list of the files and executables you'll be working with: (Links either lead to thread of the file on XDA or direct download from my person Google Drive account)
Samsung-Usb-Driver-v1.5.55.0.exe
Odin3_v3.10.6.zip (3.10.7 is avaiable now as well)
Either:
HYBRID_OB7sbl_SPT_N910PVPU4COG5.tar
- or -
N910PVPU4COG5_N910PSPT4COG5_N910PVPU4COG5.tar.md5
twrp-2.8.7.0-trltespr.img.tar (unless a newer version has been released)
Sprint_Hybrid-X_3.0_N910PVPU4COG5_Deodexed,zip Or any other custom 5.1.1 ROM
BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
Optional -
UBERWIPE.zip by:millerboy3
MD5_and_SHA_Checksum_Utility.exe (I personally never use it unless I run into serious problems after multiple downloads)

thank you so much worked like a charm

Good job wolf. Even though the rom OP's have the needed info some people get a little overwhelmed by the amount of info so it will be helpful to many to have a step by step. Good job.

Thanks for this thread. However, it did not work for me. Only way I could get to OG5 was by Odin to N910PVPU3BOF5_N910PSPT3BOF5_N910PVPU3BOF5_HOME.tar and taking the OTA to OG5. I was just running stock rooted with the newest TWRP . Followed everything to a T. Maybe today just isn't my day.

Which file did you use to try and Odin to OG5? The Hybrid with OB7 bootloader or the pure stock OG5?

Mackie, exactly which rom do you want to flash?
Post a screenshot of the last 7 entries in "about device" in settings.

@00_MACKIE_00
Don't mean this to be an inquisition but what failures did you get with Odin or boot or function when following this tut?
Both tars not getting you there is an answer but details, please. TIA. Glad you managed on your own. Not doubting you but curious enough to ask.

I'm curious as well.

Thanks people who have either replied in this thread or messaged me.
The erorrs I was having was with Odin. It would not write at all for either Hybrid_OB7sbl_SPT_N910PVPU4COG5.tar or N910PVPU4COG5_N910PSPT4COG5_N910PVPU4COG5.tar.md5. In fact, Odin would get an error within about 5 seconds of pushing start. Again, the only way to get around it was to Odin back to OF5 and taking the OTA OG5. Once I was on OG5, I was able to flash TWRP in Odin and also install the ROM of my choice with no issues.
For what its worth, tried 3 different revisions of Odin. I used 3.10.6 for TWRP . Seems funny to me I could Odin OF5 but not OG5 . This device is a replacement I got from Assurion about a week after the Note 4's were no longer being sold. It came with OF5 .
Have a good day all!

Well u should have done your reading about your bootloader. You're stuck on og5 only roms now. Bottom line, I treat my note 4 like it's irreplaceable............ Because it is.
**** the note 5, and **** replacements

Is there a need to troll my post? I can assure you I have been in this since you were in diapers. Find another thread to post useless information.
