After firmware flashing, how to get to latest official firmware

I had previously flashes my samsung glaxy s and i then wanted to get back to the latest officialy avalable firmware from samsung and here is what i did to get that:
flash my phone back to jf3 firmware from the following link samsung - firmwares
i then opened upgrade firmware in kies
then i put it into test mode by pressing ctrl + alt + u + p
after that you connect your galaxy s in kies mode and then it should give you the latest available official firmware for your device, for me it was jm3
please try this and let me know how it went

JM3? Can you please post the entire PDA version?

For flashing back to JF3 did you use the .512 or the .513 PIT file ?

Thank you. Will try this later today.
PS: For those who managed to re-flash from JF3 to official firmware using Kies in test mode, what CSC was installed in the phone's menu ? Check it by typing *#272*XXXX# where xxxx is your local time (14:57 = 1457 and so on..)

wrong post, sorry

Go to Menu-->settings-->Date and Time--> and check/choose 'use 24-hour format' option
Then go to phone keypad and type *#272*XXXX#
P.S. The 'XXXX' here are not letters but any 4 number digits that tells you your current time. For example, if your clock shows 12:30 PM then enter *#272*1230# and so on

I think those who managed to update via Kies were using a different sale code, not KOR

i noticed something after doing the update via kies, is that now i cant connect to kies when ever i try to connect using kies mode the mtp application which connects me to kies doesn't work and keeps closing and opening as lond as i am in kies mode,
any ideas on why that is

Have been you able to update? What sales code are you using?
kuwari.. can you try the code from RazvanG?

Could someone with a UK phone that has updated please check the code using *#272*XXXX# ?

My code is swc

Interesting, that's a Switzerland code. Wondered if a UK code like XEU was needed. Changing JF3 to all of the region codes still didn't find any updates. I'm at a loss to think why it won't get the update. Started as an O2 phone.

Sure because you have a Spanish SGS and the M3 is for Italy (ITV).
I try to put my Spanish SGS with *#272*HHMM# in ITV with the F3, but kies won't update my SGS to the new firmware

Fyi managed to get my sgs back to official jm1 after flashing non official firmware -
Download JF3 from samsung firmwares
Flash with 513 pit file, choose repartition option
Start kies firmware upgrade and press ctrl-alt-u-p to put it into test mode
Connect phone, will see JM3 as the latest firmware
Upgrade phone firmware, you'll actually end up on the official JM1

During my experimentations, I found that the JF3 from Samsung-Firmwares seems only to have the option of being Swedish. I'm not more than convinced that we O2 users will have to wait for an O2 update to be made available in order to upgrade (pure speculation based on the 20 odd flashes I've done in the last couple of days in the attempt to get back to an official firmware). I tried the Vodafone JF3 also... but alas still no joy (although I didn't explore the sales codes with that one). I am now back to the unofficial JM2 with the modem from the JM5 pack.
I am now wondering whether obtaining a sim-unlock code from O2 would unbrand the phone sufficiently to obtain none o2 updates.. Any thoughts on this one?

Ooooh... S-F has a *new* JM1 update available.. I wonder if this is the one which has been released through Kies!

First of all, you really shouldn't try a different phone's root toolkit on any other phone. Each phone has a different system and more importantly different kernel that interacts with the recovery and the hardware.
That being said, go to this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
Download .tar (not zip) file recovery according to your firmware (4.2.2 or 4.1.2)
Then follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46395577&postcount=19

1. calm down
2. you didn't mess up anything, and even if you did mess up, everything is fixable, that's why we have these forums
3. its easier for the phone to detect internal memory that's why it was suggested but it will work even if it's in external SD card.

If even after flashing a new firmware your phone doesn't start then there's a good chance your efs partition might have been corrupted or deleted, at which point you will have to take it in at Samsung service
For firmware of your phone :
Find your region code (INU/INS- india, SER-russia and so on) and download the latest build (check build date)

That doesn't fix issues for those of us that need to have the full stock firmware to re-Odin with. Guess those of us in the same boat wait a week or so. My problem was removing the knox files with root explorer. Bad move. Makes the phone unbootable. Called Samsung tech support and they confirmed that. Rooting no problem. Recovery screen totally blank. Never get to see the the white/green screen some say they have for a recovery screen. The magic use volume up keys 7 times etc I have seen posted don't work for me. Samsung specifically told me the stock firmware is proprietary, so they wouldn't give it to me. I can wait a week or so for developers to get their hands on appropriate files, including a custom recovery that actually works...like good old TWRP :victory:

have you tried to flash the S6 file? not the S6 edge but the S6. Try to get yourself in download mode and do that. Make sure you are using the correct odin. That is what happened to me and I was able to obtain ROOT.

If you can get into download mode, you can now use Kies to install the stock firmware. Just did it about 3 mins ago.

Where did you get the stock firmware. I'm not talking rooting file. I'm talking the full on tar to use to ODIN and flash the complete full stock firmware.

I used Kies to restore the Firmware. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the Firmware file on my computer (Or could not figure out how to use it). I did see a temp file that was the correct size, but it's name and extension were wrong. I tried to open the file using 7-Zip and WinRar, but neither would open it. At that point, I just allowed Kies to do it's job, and it worked well. Removed ROOT and am now running Stock Firmware and Stock Recovery. KNOX is still tripped, but I don't care at this point.
In Kies, use the option: "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". You will need your Model Name and Serial Number. Found on the box or in Settings if you can get there. I've got a T-Mobile Edge, so my Model Name is SM-G925T. Your serial will be unique.

I deleted via root explorer a slew of knox fies. Samsung told me by doing this, it renders the phone non bootable. That is why I need a full stock firmware tar file I can use in Odin, to flash the original complete firmware for my 925 Edge.Removing root, re-rooting, will not help. Chainfire said that SamMobile rleased the firmware files but all I get is web page not available. Grrrrr. Really wish someone would post the file in the Development sections or at least provide a working link.

I had also removed all of the KNOX files, and most of the Samsung Files trying to get close to AOSP, but it became unstable. Kies re-installed the COMPLETE firmware again and all the stock files returned. I don't mean it removed ROOT only, it flashed the complete firmware. Kies uses ODIN internally to do the flash.

Okay I was able to find a workaround on how to restore my phone through Kies without getting an error.
do the following: 1) open Kies, click on tools, Firmware upgrade and initialisation, enter your model number and serial number and let it download the firmware, after an hour or so depending on your connection speed the firmware will be downloaded and your phone will reboot into recovery to install the firmware. done

That's exactly what I was saying to do a few posts back. Did it yesterday and it worked fine.
EDIT: I'm going to run through it again and see if I can find the downloaded file. I believe I found it last time, but it was not a TAR file, rather a temp file specific to MY phone. But I'll try again, and if I get it, will post it here.

No problem, as long as we all get there at some point. The temp file that Kies downloads is called tmpE635.tmp It ends up being about 1.6GB in size. I tried to open it using 7-Zip and WinRar, but neither will open it. I'll post it in case anyone wants to try using it in ODIN. I don't know if it is specific to MY phone, or the T-Mobile S6 Edge in general (SM-G295T).
But, honestly, I would suggest you use Kies yourself so you are positive to get the correct file. You WILL get the error message that says Kies does not support your phone, just ignore that and keep going.

Phone Serial Number
I just realized that the Serial Number Kies is asking for is not on my Box. It's in the settings/about/status menu, and also on a sticker that is stuck to the Plastic Wrap that was around the phone in the box. Looks sort of like this: R58G31D1PBA. So, if you cannot get into your settings, or don't have that plastic, I'm not positive how you will get it to start the download. Maybe if you just use someone elses serial number, that will start the download???
EDIT: Link to the Temp File from Kies (not sure you'll be able to do anything with it)

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (AT&T) : SGH-I317 Stock Rom needed

Hello,
I'm trying to look for the fresh stock rom of SGH-I317 rom so I can flash my phone back to normal. I owned this phone since 2012, I had it rooted and everything else. Last night, it decided to do something funny and now it gets stuck on samsung logo/battery and I can only access download mode for the time being.
So I assume I have to factory set everything and lose data--which i don't care about anymore.
Can anyone please help? Thank you. Stock rom is what I need and Odin as well. Thanks again =)
Adam.

As far as I know there are at least 4 different STOCK versions of SGH-I317 firmware namely 4.1.1 4.1.2 4.3 and 4.4.2. 4.1.2 is the same as 4.1.1 but it has SIM unlock backdoor closed. 4.1.1 is interchangeable up to 4.3 with certain limitations, as soon as you get 4.4.2 you are stock to it.
4.3 is my personal favorite but I can't seem to find clean AT&T ROM for some time now (everything else is available).
If I were you I'd start powering up the phone while holding home and arrow up buttons, do "wipe data/factory reset" follow with "wipe cache partitions" and you should be golden

Thanks replying. Unfortunately.. I tried getting into recovery mode but it just won't let me. when I do that.. it only takes me back to the samsung logo. I really really don't know why...
Right now I only have access to the Odin Mode and it comes up as
Product Name :
Custom Binary Download : No
Current Binary Samsung Official
System Status : Custom

Remember u can downgrade from 4.4.x...there's a thread in forum that explains what tz files r needed and which bootloader 2...I've done it couple of times myself from Dn4 rom and Eclipse V9 from 7100 thread. Just gotta read and be patient. Hope u get all straightened out. Keep us informed on progress.

With the phone in download mode, is there anything on the phone about knox or warranty bit? If there is, the phone can't be flashed with any stock ROM from sammobile.com.

REALLY??? Please show us the link for upgrade! As I said there is no OEM 4.3 ROM at sammobile
I was told many many times that AT&T (and this is the one we are talking about) 4.4.2 ROM can not be downgraded!
I tired the downgrade and yes the system will go down to 4.1.1 but it would keep the 4.4.2 bootloader so the phone won't charge while being off (making it pretty useless).

@audit13 : I've the phone since 2012. I think Im getting a new as is but I know this phone can't be done just yet. if I'm able to access download mode that should warrant itself the possibility of it being fixed. Just need that thread to follow those directions =)

Good Morning, thanks for the link.. But I'm already lost at which one I'm supposed to pick. Can you provide a link to that thread, please? Thank you
Adam

OMG, my bad.
Does the phone say anything about warranty bit or knox in download? If it does, the phone can't be flashed with any ROMs from sammobile.com.

my phone is SGH-I317 NOTE 2 .....

Did you have a chance to look at the download screen on the phone? Model is sgh-i317 in download screen too?

Hi. This is all i have on the download section

Maybe I'm missing something extra like the videos i've seen ?

What is the model number on the label under the battery? Something is very wrong because there is no model number.

Well the model number SGH-I317 . I'm sure I mentioned it before. And yes. .I find that to be weird too >__<.. What am I missing?

In this case, I would try and flash the stock ROM from sammobile.com in Odin: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I317/

Ok.. so if I download both of these (or which one do you prefer? ). What else do I need to download? I do have two versions of Odin.
edit :
So i tried it on Odin 1.85.
I get something like GET PIT FOR MAPPING?
edit 2 :
Another Odin version gave me
Can't open the serial(COM) port after setup connection

sorry for double posting but here's a reminder

Flashable Baseband/Modem update

Ever since I updated my phone my signal is bad. Constantly dropping from LTE to 4G. Is it possible to flash the older modem?
Appreciate other suggestions to improve signal

Would love to be able to do this too. I completely messed up my entire modem somehow (+1 for stupidity) - only getting 'No Network' now, flashed the latest version of the software using Odin, no Knox issues on bootup etc. Took it back to the shop and got it back this morning saying 'Unauthorised rework' carried out - out of warrany, get a new phone
The modem is in the CSC file if I remember correclty, even though I reflashed that successfully, still no luck.
So I'm happy to try anything, not like I've got anything to lose!

here is the firmware for your carrier (O2U), it's also the september security patch update , don't let theses dumb peoples flash your device for you , they are just paid for something they don't know anything about.

Thanks, I'm just about to flash it now using ODIN - I used Samfirm as it donwloaded quicker, is that version any different? Screenshot of the current SIM status attached.
Radio not on etc.
Will update shortly....:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[UPDATE]
Insalled the software posted by @BK last night, used ODIN and flashed everything, but used the HOME_CSC in the file. Same result unfortunately.
Added some additonal screenshots, any other suggestions?
Thanks.

[UPDATE] Still the same -
If you look at the screenshots, you can see the radio/modem is borked. The status says the radio is off. there must be a way to enable it again surely?

Sam Firmware?
