[FIRMWARE] - AT&T stock firmware

In case some of you who have flashed to the euro firmware want to go back, the below is an early firmware for at&t and can be flashed via Odin.
This is not the most recent stock firmware, but it is something:

Pass: samfirmware.com
do not select repartition when flashing this.

No need of .pit file?
Is it just like putting it into "PDA" and flash?

so if we flash this could we upgrade to the latest att firmware

wrong thread:

I took a rotobackup of my AT&T SGT prior to flashing it with the Russian+Euro roms. If anyone would like them I can post the files up somewhere.

I would like that as long as it was factory reset before the backup so it doesn't have any of your personal information.

It should be clean of any personal data; I had just rooted it via SuperOneClick and installed Busybox and then pulled the backup. I'll upload it to multiupload tomorrow and post the link.
EDIT: Looks like it does contain some stuff. If I ever have to restore it, I'll do a factory reset and pull a clean dump and post it. So for now, if anyone wants pieces of the original firmware, minus the data partition, let me know and I'll upload those pieces.

Did you ever get the rom? I would like to go back to ATT rom if I can. The one clubtech posted unfortunately did not work for me. I think it does need a pit file, but which one? I have no idea.
I repeat the rom posted here DID NOT work for me. Blank screen with the tab vibrating every 10 secs or so. I was fortunate enough to get it back into download mode to go back to jjk5.
Looking for a stock ATT rom thanks.

can we just ask AT&T to reflash our devices or do we need t send them to Samsung if we want original version again?

I believe if you tell AT&T you've flashed it with anything other than an officially released firmware, they'll tell you to pound sand, and that your warranty is void.

I do have the rotobackup that I pulled from my SGT prior to flashing to JJ4/JK5, but I didn't do a factory wipe before I pulled the files, and thus there is personal data in some of the files. I'd rather not distribute my Gmail login info, which I'm positive is stored in there since I accessed the Market.
You might be able to flash all of the files I have, minus the dbdata partition (maybe substitute the one from clubtech?) and maybe that would work? I'd defer to someone more knowledgeable though, like Roto. I'm not even sure the efs partition should be shared, as there's IMEI info in there.

Heres the stock AT&T firmware I put together from my Tabs original firmware. I'm going to flash this now to test it once more, In Odin, no pit file.

The reason i.was.going to flash back was.to.get the media hub app.and upgrade it. Then i was going to put.it.on jma so i.could use the $50 credit. But i would like it anyways in case i need warranty help.
Thanks for checking.

As expected, it worked, BUT:
It boots up blank, no splash screen.
Recovery is also blank, making it hard to navigate lol
Other than that, it works fine. Its good enough for return purposes or to grab files off and then flash back to JME.

Hmm, my guess than is the other one worked too then.
Any idea on why this boots up blank? Hopefully someone will grab this rom before flashing.
Not sure how you navigate a blank screen. Will give it a shot.
Thanks again.

Funny, I actually got a samsung splash screen, but nothing else! Nothing! Blank after that. Same as the one clubtech provided.
I can get back to d/l screen but thats it. Can't see or do anything else

I've had issues trying to go back to stock AT&T after a full JMA flash, I ended up using all the files from my rotobackup minus the zImage because of the signed bootloaders...

So you got it to work? Could you post the files you used. Thanks

I believe the one from rotohammer are actually from my stock backup. (He hosted them for me) You can double check by checking topics I've posted, one of them is a stock AT&T dump I did.
Basically my configuration right now is JMA pbl sbl and kernel and the rest is AT&T stock. Flashing back the zImage from my backup didn't work if I'm remembering correctly.

Bell/Virgin GT-S5660M "No Service" When Using Custom Roms/Firmware.

hello everyone,
Must say without alot of your great posts and walkthroughs i wouldn't of even considered the wicked things my little Gio can do. But i have seem to always have 1 problems when flashing my cell.
I get a "No Service" after 6 hours and can never get it to pick up my Virgin Sim card. I have tried GioPro 1.2 to 1.6, CyanogenMod 7 and 9 and even some Europe firmwares that are supposedly work with it.
So i am assuming that alot of these firmswares/roms don't work with Canada services or phones/areas or is this a common glitch in custom roms. Any help or direction on fixing a issue like this would be more then amazing right about now.
thank you all for your time
Vaughn

after flashing gioprio, it also flashed your baseband. flash a stock rom based for the m model, or flash a baseband only, wich is for the M mode, and you're fine

i have never thought of that, thank you so much. I will report back with my results!

ok this is where you guys start to hate me, tried figure out where to locate a stock baseband and i got a one package for giopro 1.0 (GioPro_v1.6.tar) and my stock firmware for bell/virgin phone (GT-S5660M_BMC_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3.tar) and finally my GIO_v1.0.ops.
but where about do i locate a stock baseband for the 5660m or am i replacing one files from the stock firmware (GT-S5660M_BMC_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3.tar) to the GioPro custom (GioPro_v1.6.tar),
i hate to be that guy but i been battling this for a few weeks.

Can you flash a ROM to get European 3G frequencies with a Canadian phone?

I could compile a .tar.md5 of the S5660MUGKG3 Baseband only if you want?
(Flash it through Odin)
Because I have a GT-S5660M model also, so I always keep a backup of Stock Rom in my PC.

SUCESS! for now that is.
I was able to create a AMSS only .tar for flashing using Cygwin Terminal and this command
cd /cygdrive/c/baseband
tar -xvf S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3_home.tar amss
tar -H ustar -c amss > S5660M AMSS.tar

then was able to flash just the one package, seems to have left the other parts of the GioPro Rom installed.

Can this method be used to enable European 3G frequencies on the Gio?

Was having the same issues as OP - then realized I incorrectly flashed to 2.3.6 (for the 5660), now I'm trying to get back to stock 5660M 2.3.4 after downloading the S5660MUGKG3_S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3 hotfile from droidangel - problem being it isn't a one file md5/tar... the rar contains like 9 files, image files and rfs. I've attached the rar contents.
View attachment 1132111
How do I use these files?? If it's not possible, does anyone have a lead on a one file for the stock 5660M 2.3.4 from Canada?
fyi, unrooted, unlocked
Thanks in advance

sob.... thought I had figured it out, went to samfirmware, got excited - their file was a different size from the droidangel...unfortunately same garbage, same list of image & rfs files instead of a single md5/tar
---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------
what a jackass I am
I'm only posting this because I have a low level of shame and I noticed a few others while googling who were having the same problem as me..hopefully this helps them
the solution and why i'm a jackass = i was unraring the tar file..hence the contents (image, rfs etc) which were not useable by odin
i was selecting the wrong file... trying to use odin to select one of the files inside the tar... after uncompressing the tar....
brutal... anyway, hopefully this helps others

Help!
Okay guys, Heres my problem... And I need guidelines because im new to all this. I installed the fake ics on my phone and because it started to limit what I could do on my phone I decided to go back to android 2.2. I used odin to go back but I think i selected the wrong Rom for my network and where I live. I live in Canada and I use Virgin mobile as my network. Now that I got Android 2.2 back I never get any network! How do I flash a new Baseband Version? and Where do I get the Baseband version for Bell/Virgin? Also If you could give me the download for The Official Android 2.2 rom and not a custom one.. it would be nice =)

It's going to be 2.3 (Gingerbread) and not 2.2 (Froyo) that you'll want to install.
There have been multiple posts and you should just have used the search function, then asked whatever questions you might have had left.
Get the MUGK3 stock ROM from here or samfirmware, flash it with Odin.
Again, simple, beginner stuff for which there are multiple tutorials. The search function is your friend.

Yeah it's that --> MUGKG3
If you are on EXT4, don't use it with ODIN. It'll bootloop your phone.
It's fine if you're on a RFS filesystem

Lol Im new to android, Whats ext4 and RFS? And What else instead of odin can do it with? also I have the GT-S5660, NOT THE GT-S5660M so does it make huge difference?

Sobey, I got your message, but really this is the sort of discussion best kept in the thread. If you got your phone from VMC, it's a 5660M. In fact, a GT-S5660 would not work with Virgin at all.
Peteragent5: He could flash the whole stock MUGKG3 ROM with Odin and reformat /cache and /data with the stock recovery.

But in About Phone it says GT-S5660 but ill trust your word. So I should download the Mugkg3 rom and use odin to get it into my phone? and do empty cache and data? Okay ill try this now and let you know if it works. I need your help with one more thing, Last time i used odin I followed a tutorial for where to put each file in which odin slot such as BOOT, PHONE, PDA, etc etc. Can you tell me which file needs to go in which slot? Or is it one package and I just click open package? Sorry man for asking to many questions but itll really help. Also I cant find the ops file!

You could make the "About Phone" model string say anything by editing the proper file. As I've said before: if your Gio worked with Virgin Mobile Canada at all, it a 5660M. The Europe/Asia 5660 doesn't have the proper HSPA bands.
Look up the differences between the different Gio models. Now. Use the search function.
There's also one or two tutorial threads here with both Odin 4.42 and the GIO_v1.0.ops file linked.
The stock rooted ROM I uploaded a while ago, as well as the OEM one from samfirmware.com are usually the "one package" kind. If you're unsure, open the tar (or tar.md5) file with a proper archiving program (7-Zip works well and is free open-source) and have a look. There should be many files, including but not limited to: amss, arm11boot, mibib, oemsbl, qcsbl, boot.img, recovery.img and system.rfs.
Quick recap:
Flash the MUGK3 ROM with Odin.
If the phone bootloops, got in the stock recovery and do a factory reset, in other words, reformat the partitions.
Done!

[Q] help un rooting sn2

My question is which firmware do I dl? Thanks in advance!

Just to clarify, I can use the aforementioned info in the link to un root the galaxy note II?

I "believe" that its the stock ROM untouched, no root no busy box no custom boot loader.
It will put your Note 2 back to the way it was when you first got it.
* If your uncertain then PM the OP of the post for confirmation.

Inside the the zip file you downloaded should be a file that ends in .tar or .tar.md5 that is used in Odin.

Stock Rom Question

Hello all. I have posted this problem/question before but received no help. So im posting it again. I recently rooted my S3 and installed cyanogenmod and decided I like touchwiz so I decided to unroot it. So I installed triangle away to delete any traces of root and the process was completed nicely. Then I flashed a stock rom that I downloaded online. Then I did a stock factory reset. But it doesnt feel right. There are slight graphics glitches with opening some apps. Like opening facebook messanger will display white and black lines untill it loads up. I tried the whole reinstall thing and no help. There are other similar glitches. Can anyone help me? I want my s3 fully stock like it was straight from att.

I would try another file download location (which you did not specify where you downloaded from). You might also try and redownload and ensure to do an MD5 check. Of course this means factory resetting again and ODIN.
If nothing else, download rooted ROM from Mr.Robinson's post and unroot it. This will keep your flash counter as is.

Follow this thread for downloading stock roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625. After unzipping most should end with the file name .md5. ODIN will do the md5 check automatically for you. Just pay attention to the prompts.
If you find that this does not work, go here and download rooted rom to be flashed via ODIN. You can then remove root.
If the file is not ODIN flashable with an md5 at the end, look for a long string of digits and letters that should be right by the download. A good example to know what I am talking about is to take a look at the site for rooted stock roms. Notice the md5 under the Old image AT&T file download link. Download and extract this file and follow the directions.

[Q] Some help Please

Hi Guys!
I need some help here. I have a galaxy s3 I747M . After I loaded the lastest 4.3 Jellybean I lost use of my USB port. I've tried everything I can do to make it work. Nothing has worked. I was on the phone with Samsung for 2 hours trying to fix this issue. I can charge my phone using the port, but that's all I can do. A house hold of Samsung phones, so I have tried all 6 other cables in the house etc. PC's don't see my phone(I've tried 5 different pc's btw) Nothing has worked. The highest Tech support Samsung can offer didn't help either. Seems under my Application manager under all apps. The USB setting is doing absolute nothing. Sitting at 0.00B... Tech guys says something went wrong with the loading of the 4.3 firmware. So he regrets to tell me that my phone is no longer under warranty and there isn't anything he can do. Like I mention I have hard reset to factory settings 4-5 times and nothing works. I know someone is going to say did you check off the Debugging... Yes I have. So there you go. I am unable to use ODIN to reflash firmware because the usb port doesn't work.
If someone can help me, that would be terrific. I should mention that I also tried using the SD Card and tried loading some firmware that I downloaded and tried using the Recovery Option boot to try to load the firmware that I got but I keep getting a error of "E Signature verification failed"
Samsung Galaxy S3
SGH-I747M

Did you try different operating systems? You won't be able to load any custom software with a custom recovery.

I haven't no, I'm not sure how I would go about this. Like I mentioned, I've tried to put a md5 on my SD Card and tried to update that way, but keep getting an error. "E Signature verification failure" If I'm way off on how'd I'd do this, please do tell. I'm desperate and am willing to try anything...

If you are rooted, and were previously updated to 4.3 firmware, and if im reading correct are just trying to reflash that firmware, you can try using Mobile Odin. It won't flash the full firmware, but will do the kernel, modem, system and cache. Might be worth a shot. Otherwise look for a recovery flashable zip for the firmware. The .tar.md5 can only be used by Odin or Mobile Odin.

Hey Thanks for the reply "DocHoliday"
I am not rooted. I wish I was. I've poked around and I'm not sure how to use an .img file. I tried to put it on a micro SD and open it. I get a "E: Signature verification failed" Now all I did was throw the whole zip file on the SD card. Not sure if I have to extract it or what. If you can shed some light on how to do this I'd be a happy camper. All I can find is a JB 4.1.1 flashable zip.. I know i'm 4.3...Will this one work?

No. Do not flash older firmware over 4.3. It'll brick. Older roms are ok, but not the firmware. Can you link to what you are trying to flash? You said you were using an .md5 file earlier, but now you said you tried an .img and a .zip? I'm kinda confused as to exactly what you are trying to flash at this point. Zip files are for flashing in recovery. .tar.md5 files are for Odin. .img files are used differently.

Well Doc, I'm kinda confused as well, LOL... I was using odin files at first. not really knowing what i'm doing. I'm kind of starting to understand a few things like, .tar & .md5 files are used with Odin. I can't use odin because my usb on my S3 isn't working. So i'm trying to flash my firmware to either earlier(which I can't because i'm not rooted) or the same. In hopes to try to fix my usb port. My firmware is corrupted. So i've tried to put a stock 4.1.1 recovery zip on my sd card. But when I restart the s3 in recovery mode, and choose the zip file I get "E;signature verification failed" and it does nothing. I can't find a stock img zip file for i747M Rogers canada 4.3... I'm thinking i'm doomed here. What do you think??
