THIS PROBLEM HAS NOW BEEN FIXED, GO TO POST #19 FOR STEPS I TOOK TO FIX THE PROBLEM - thanks alot to the help below.
I recently installed or flashed (whatever the term is), a rom/theme thing to my phone. Now it hasn't worked out how I liked, and I want to go back to stock, but when I restart the phone and go to wipe date/factory reset, it just restores to the ROM's startup..
How can I go back to the stock 2.1 installation on my phone, so I can try the official update to Froyo, and not these ROMs.
However, is there a benefit to using any of the ROMs that have been posted on this site? Aside from the themes of course..
Thanks
Denno
aside from the themes, the cook normally remove bloatware from samsung and all that. to speed things up and free some space. with custom kernels, themes (like you said) and all that good stuff.
to go back to a stock rom, you simply flash your stock rom.
if your stock rom's a dxjg4, you flash dxjg4 and so on.
Thanks Adevem.
How do I go about getting my stock rom? I have no idea what my stock rom actually was though :S. I've heard lots of talk of flashing so many different roms and to be honest, it's quite overwhelming to try and work it out..
I am also keen on getting back my Optus app that was on the phone, which told me how much of my cap I have used etc.. Will this be possible? Without contacting Optus themselves, as I'm not sure if what I did with the phone is allowed within the contract.. The Optus app isn't in the Market either..
I did backup all of my apps and stuff using Titanium Backup before I installed the ROM, but I can't Restore the Optus ones :S. I can restore other ones though... It could be because they're not made to run on Android 2.2 yet, but if not, then I don't know..
once you've flashed your phone you've voided your contract ;p sorry to say.
since you're Optus... you're gonna have to ask around what was the stock rom for Optus, cause i have no idea.
once you've found out, head over to http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm, download your rom and flash back to stock. the optus applications should be installed properly back on the rom. if it doesn't, send me a pm and i might have a work around with a detailed guide.
Thanks heaps!! I know 3 other people who have the same phone with Optus (I talked it up quite a bit when I got it lol)
How do I get them to check the ROM though? Do I go to Settings > About Phone?
And what do I look for in there? I see Firmware Version, Baseband Version, Kernel Version, Build Number.
Which is the one I want from them?
Thanks heaps.
I'm not sure if the following links below will help, you could try it, and make sure you can get into download/recovery mode with the buttons before doing anything as warned in the link too.

Cool, post back again when you get everything worked nicely, someone else like you with this problem might ask in the near future Enjoy!
Ok so I've got the digits from my mate, but I can only find the PDA one on samefirmware. I can't find the PHONE or CSC one.
Here are my numbers:
PDA: I9000DTJG4
PHONE: I9000DTJG3
CSC: I9000OPSJG1
Is it just the PDA that I need to get? Or do I need the other two aswell?
Thanks..

you mean the site only provide the pda file? just flash it anyway, put the tar file as pda. some firmwares are packed all in one.
do report back if it matches!
Ohk cool..
Well some what cool... I have no idea how to flash it lol. It says on samfirmware to follow their guide 100%, but I can't find their guide?
I feel like such a douche.. I'm studying software engineering and I can't work this out, but I've never seen this stuff before... :S
Sorry for the newb questions..
Wait... this might be a stupid question, but if you don't know how to flash a ROM, how did you get the new ROM on your phone in the first place?
Well I followed the directions in the Darksys forum post. All that involved was putting a file on the root of my internal card, and then restarting the phone into the recovery mode.. That wasn't so hard..
Is it the exact same thing? I keep hearing so many different things, like using Odin, or playing with Kies and the registry..
I'm just confused as to what the heck I'm supposed to do.
Could someone please just point me toward a place that will guide me through the flashing?
I don't wanna stuff my phone up anymore than it already is..
You need to use Odin. If you look at the bottom of the samfirmware page (very bottom) you'll see PDF guides in a couple languages.
It's pretty easy, put phone in download mode (volume down + center button + power), plug in, open Odin, click PDA and select your .tar file. If you want to repartition, select the PIT indicated on samfirmware and check repartition. And click Start.
Phone will then flash the ROM and reboot, pretty simple =P

http://nfye.com/toolkit/Doc-Froyo.pdf
there are some instructions here.. they are not exactly your firmware that you want to flash but it will give you an idea..
on samfirmware where you downloaded the rom it should say if it need a 512 or a 803 pit file
Check that before you do anything ;-)
Argh, they're so obvious down there aren't they lol. I was looking in the menu at the top for a 'tutorial' option or something similar.
Thanks for the quick tip though, I shall hopefully be able to run with it now .
I'll try and document the whole thing and then show everyone what I've done (providing it works for me, otherwise Ima be very p'd off lol)
Yeeeeeeah!! soo happy. Thanks guys, this worked perfectly! I've got the MyAccount for Optus app back in that ROM too!
It was so easy wasn't it! wow lol.
Anyways, I didn't really document it, as there isn't anything I did any different to the instructions here, but to reiterate, this is what I did:
My phone was already rooted, so I used a program - Android Commander - on my PC, to copy EVERYTHING from my phone to my computer (back-up). This can only be done if your phone is rooted though.
Then I downloaded the following firmware from samfirmware: NB. I culd only find the PDA, but as it turns out, this was all I needed (in my case, with this firmware)
I have a Galaxy S I9000 with Optus in Australia, so my digits were:
PDA: I9000DTJG4
PHONE: I9000DTJG3
CSC: I9000OPSJG1
Next I downloaded Odin from samfirmware.com, and also downloaded the tutorial from the very bottom of the Firmwares page
I then had everything downloaded, so I opened the tutorial and followed that exactly
You need to also make sure you backup your contacts, as they will all be lost. I was lucky that I did the copy of the whole contents of my phone, as I hadn't properly synced my contacts with my google account, but I have remedied this now .
I'm now back with my stock Eclair firmware, complete with Optus MyAccount app, and I couldn't be happier .
Now to find a proper upgrade to Froyo .
Thanks for the help guys, very much appreciated.
Denno
there's actually a video on youtube on how to flash. damn it, I should have linked it to you. helped me on the first time I got an android.
anyway, glad you got it all figured out!
Hello, i have purchased my Htc desire Hd a few days ago and i love it. I came across these forums and found them very helpful. I decided to _root my phone and install the latest Cm ROM and all went well. When i bought the phone the supplier (three) said that i would be able to get speeds up to to 6mb on the mobile broadband in my area. Sadly this is not the case as i am on EDGE.
I was wondering is there anyway to boost signal either by app or a different radio or ROM.
Thanks in advance.
Well, it could be from some setting maybe, but if i was in your shoes i'd ask the people in the Original Thread.
When upgrading from an fairly old ROM to a new ROM, i'd suggest the flashing of a new radio.
BE CAREFUL, AS FLASHING RADIOS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
See the OP of the ROM thread and see if flashing a radio is mentioned (if its not mentioned on the thread, dont flash a new radio, or you can ask them if you can). Normally, ROM are supplied with a RECOMMENDED radio that works perfectly with it.
So ask the people in that thread (or see the OP) if and which radio you should flash.
FLASHING RADIOS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE, AND ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING IT
- just a little warning with a happy face
Thanks alot for your time I didnt know flashing radios was as dangerous :/ i've done it twice. well thanks for the warning with the happy face
Is there any fail safes for flashing ? anything like roms or radios ?
Thanks in advance
By 'Fail Safes' do you mean 'a mechanism that manages failures and results in minimum harm'? (just googled it )
If so, well, android itself has MANY mechanisms. And by flashing ROMs, all it does is overwrite the current files. So flashing something (given that the script to flash it is correct - if not, then it wont flash - or could flash it to the wrong place) doesnt have any fail safes, which is why, if an incorrect radio is flashed, the phone wont do anything, but when you come to boot it, it could be bricked (worst possible case).
Flashing ROMs with errors can be fixed easily if you know how. Just build a flashable .zip file that'll overwrite the files that have errors with correct files.... - determining the error could be done by using 'adb logcat'
Thanks ! you couldn't have done more Thanks again for everything i will be more cautious when flashing Another big thanks !

Anyway to root Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE???
I cannot find anything on google or in this forums.
Thanks!!!
yea me either ive been searching for a couple weeks now.... it sucks
Rooting i757M
Am also still looking how to root this thing. The Skyrocket HD is merely the same phone, branded on AT&T carrier and this article made it clear that the phone has been silently put to the side, in favor of the coming S3. (phonesreview.co.uk/2012/05/10/samsung-galaxy-s3-buries-att-sii-skyrocket-hd).
That is, even on samsung online personal profile page, you can even find the SGH-i757M in the list of phone version, to add in your owner's page.
If anyone of you manage to root the phone, thanks to let me know.
Correction: The SGH-i757M can be found in the BAR model section on Samsung profile page and not under Smartphone. Hmm... weird categorization. Are those bar phones not smartphones? Oh, they are mini tablets.
Here is one.
Do you have any procedure to use that files? I just don't want to brick my phone
There's no any special procedure other than flash it with Odin
There're many tutorials about it here and there like that for example.

Has this been tested and confirmed to work? I don't have the device yet but this may make my decision to buy one.
dsixda, well, all I can say is that I flashed it personally (into E120L though) and it worked (including root).

Hey that is great news. I wonder if the CWM for the E120L is compatible then?
I wonder if this works to root the device, as I've read it worked for the Asian versions of the GS2 HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
dsixda, I guess it won't be too hard for you to check that as you're recognized developer
You can download the stock I757M firmware with the CheckFus using advanced tab (or using cli only version) with the following data:
Model: SGH-I757M
Product code: SGH-I757ZKMBMC
HIDSWVER: I757MUGLCA/I757MOYCLCA/I757MUGLCA/I757MUGLCA
Yes, I'll try all that as soon as I get my device Always nice to have the stock Odin firmware so that I don't need to dump everything beforehand in case something goes wrong.
Thank you again
Just FYI, the stock firmware is now available at sammobile.com. Grab an account and search for SGH-I757M. The download is much faster than using CheckFus.
Dsixda! So happy your getting this Device, I also want to say thank-you for your Kitchen you created!! Amasing work. Used it all the time with my Evo 3d.
Just got the Samsung Galaxy s2 hd lte with the Bell network, Do you have any plans to incorporate this into your Kitchen??
Also is there any easy Root anyone knows of yet that doesn't involve Odin? Like superoneclick...etc

Try the Zergrush method which I linked in the previous page.
I haven't decided 100% whether to get it, as I still love my original S2. But if I get it I will incorporate it into the kitchen, once we figure out the custom recovery method.
I'm assuming any of the Tengrak GS2 HD recovery images (Odin .tar) will work, as long as you don't flash the associated Tegrak kernel for the ES120L/S/K?
You can always flash the stock firmware above in case you mess up.
Tried the Zergrush method, I had no luck. Oh well no big deal for now

Or flash the first link provided by rxulan in page 1. It's the stock ROM but the system.img has superuser injected in it.
And/or Google for the Tegrak custom recovery in Xda. Just flash one of those recovery.tar meant for the HD, but not the kernel.
ODIN ?

ODIN does not recognise .img or .ext4 files. I understand those are recovery files that CWD can restore but your device should already have been rooted. This is exactly the purpose of this thread, rooting the device first of all. This have been difficult for us to find the right .md5 files to use in ODIN. The device we're trying to root, SGH-i757M.
@ezechias
Odin doesn't recognize the files inside the rooted tar archive (the one linked on page 1), but you can flash them as a tar.md5, which you already know is a preferred format. There are guides online on how to convert it to tar.md5, you can Google it or I can post it later.
First, try to flash the TAR file as is; if it doesn't work then convert to tar.md5, then flash it.
Anyways, it's strange that nobody wants to be the lab rat to test the rooted TAR or the custom recovery that we have already discussed. We have the emergency stock ROM to fall back on if anything goes wrong. Looks like I'll have to purchase this device soon and try it out myself I already have all the files and stock firmware downloaded and ready to go
ICS for E120 K/L/S has been released.
I'm sure the same will happen with I757M pretty soon
I was given an s3 but im a lil confused by it...
1. it didnt have any type of goggle apps loaded into it...ex...gmail, maps, nav
2. it has some Japanese/Chinese apps
3. doesnt have the svoice app
4. when I press the browser it comes up in an asian language..
5. camera looks different then other cameras ive seen on s3's
did i get some bootlegg phone?
The phone accepted a tmobile us sim but its wierd. It says something like the tmobile sim is set as default pull the nav bar to change. So im wondering if i root and flash a custom rom will I get all apps and stuff?
go to Settings - About device -copy down all info about Build Number, Image version, kernel version, etc on a .txt file.
then copy the info on here and we can see what versions of stuff you are running. This info is also in your build.prop file.
you probably will have to Change ROM's at some point...
sounds like, your phone came from Foreign Area and that person just UNLOCKED SIM (meaning they got SIM UNLOCK CODE) which allows anyone's SIM card to work.
either way, once you have a NEW ROM installed, I feel it will all Be Well...
with little knowledge i have, I would
A) Make nandroid backup of what you have (then delete after a few months of good running rom)
B) Use odin to ROOT cell , if not ROOTED (Rooting will ruin warranty, but probably not there anyway)
C) Flash Recovery to TWRP v2.3.3.1 (newest version of best Recovery system)
D) Install JB ROM 4.1.1 STOCK ROM that you like, try it out for a few days b4 you flash a 4.1.2 or 4.2 (so you can compare what works and if you like)
*** I stay away from 4.1.2 + 4.2 (since they are based on OTHER CELL PHONES or ASOP, AKOP, etc)
What happens if you go to Settings - About device - Software Update...
-this is where your OTA (over the air updates) will come from
-the newest OTA 4.1.1 just got added to phones last month (middle of November) from 4.0.4
-it is possible, that this OTA could fix problem,but i wouln't rely on it.

the 1st link you posted is the best one for rooting...I followed the post correctly last month and it works fine...
-Be aware that your counter will have 1 on it (NOT 0) cus it's a JB Rom.
-"Triangle Away v2.3.7 .apk" is suppost to reset your counter to 0, and it will on ICS ROM's, not JB Rom's tho
-So if you were to return cell with 0 Counter, you'd have to revert to a older ICS Rom (4.0.4), then run Triangle Away app, then give it to Dealer.
-when you use Odin to install Root66 Rom, it will add just ROOT only (it won't change your Recovery) -that is all it will add, your data will stay the same.
To change recovery...(this is what I did)
A) Download app from Market call "Terminal Emulator" (it's like using ADB commands on cell phone instead of PC).
B) Downloaded TWRP Recovery v2.3.3.1 .img file and rename it to "recovery.img" and then copied it to External SDCard
C) Run Terminal Emulator and enter these commands (Cell has to be ROOTED for su permissions to work)
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
D) Check to make sure you have Recovery.
-with cell being off, Use {Volume UP, Home, Power} to load up recovery and check it.
Once rooted and any NON STOCK recovery, you can install any ROM now in your RECOVERY.
I never use others 4.1.1 ROM's, cus they all keep in many programs that I remove.
-here is a HOTSPOT hack (it has instructions on how to do it, I have done them myself and they work great - but it's techy stuff, not download .zips to install)

going from the picture, it looks like your device model is the GT-I9300, the international Galaxy S III.
this is your correct forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
follow the guides there, DO NOT follow the T-Mobile root guides or flash T-Mobile ROMs, you will most likely brick your device.
the phone seems real enough to me, looks like it's on stock Android, not the Touchwiz from what i can tell.

That does not appear to be a real S3. Your baseband looked off so I did a quick search, and it appears you have a GT-I9300 Fei Teng clone. Before you flash ANYTHING to it, you need to do some research so you don't end up with a paperweight.
YouTube unboxing of your phone model
XDA thread on a similar (or possibly the same) phone
Looks like you have a SGS3 GT-19300 MAUI type custom ROM
ROM's Bases are either STOCK, AKOP, CM, or MAUI type.
-It's important to keep your CPUID Handy (very important to have - you posted that info on your 1st post)
-it's important to make a NANDROID backup in a Custom Recovery (even if your current version sux's -at least you can work from it as a platform to get your EVENTUALLY correct Rom)
-it is possible that the Previous Cell Owner put the incorrect ROM type on the SGS3... (Best to take back cover off cell (where battery, SDCARD, and SIM Card go) use another camera to take picture) and research that info) Get Serial Numbers and sequence should match some group
-Custom ROM that was installed also changes the build.prop, so it could say international version GT-19300 only cus ROM installed is that
Do lots of Research!
after some research...
Looks Like you have 1Ghz of ram (not 2 GB Ram like regular SGS3) you can see your Info in Settings (few different spots)
Doesn't look like you have Much support, not many have that cell and tuff to get info on it..
link1
Read this thread - I bet this is your model
Google as much as you can about this Cell, and save links in Folder on PC (as a whole, you will have to make the best out what others have done to make it the best english it can be and usable) sounds like a RARE type cell and not many will have, but someone might post great tips to make the best of it.
after more reserch, Don't use any SGS3 files (it's not a SGS3)..don't do this below....
if it is a GT-19300 type cell and you confirm that to be 100% accurate, then your best bet is to...
Copy and paste your questions on their Q+A Forum and post that pic of your Cell phone Version with them.
They have more experience with your version and can help you better.
stay away from TMobile stuff now.

I believe you mean MIUI, MAUI appears to be specific to these clones.
OP, can you get the model number from under the battery?

Definitely a clone, now we just need to figure out for sure which one.

Here you go, another XDA user with your phone as well as CWM+Root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921178
Hello all, I posted here several weeks ago about me trying several things on my SPH-L520 to get root back after Knox, and ultimately failing until I found s0be's CyanogenMod project for the SPH-L520. This saved my device and I have a fully working ROM again with root access and the likes, however back when I started this commotion I deleted the modem off of my phone. After tinkering with my brothers phone today and following some very helpful threads I have successfully recovered the modem.bin from his phone. Unfortunately, this is where my expertise ends, as I don't know how to build the constituent parts to include in a .zip to make this modem flashable. Do to the current state of development for the SPH-L520 I also haven't found any modem packages that would work for me on a CDMA network, as most (read: all) of the modem packages I have found are for international LTE variants, and even if my phone successfully accepted them, well you know why that probably wouldn't work. So I'm asking for help, one final push to make my phone a phone again and not a fancy PDA. If anyone knows how I can turn the modem bin i have into a flashable zip, I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance, Hans.
Perhaps this thread can help you: http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/archive/index.php?thread-92.html
You need to flash through Odin twice for the modem to take effect.
You will probably be creating a .tar.md5 for modem.bin only

Thank you for linking to that thread.Unfortunately, Knox prevents Odin from successfully flashing the modem.tar I created. I'm going to try backing up my brothers modem with ZipMe and installing it on my phone that way.

What the hell is up with my phone? I just when checking around the firmware file with ES File Explorer, and right there inside is the modem files! But for some reason it's not working, the modem isn't being loaded or something because I still have no phone coverage... This is very strange.

EDIT: So I went into my connectivity settings and tried to add a APN. It wouldn't save to my phone. After that I tried changing my phone from NV to RUIM/SIM, but it wouldn't switch. I also tried to configure a network, but it said I needed to insert my SIM and restart the phone. Odd...
