[GUIDE] noob. EASY Bell I9000M galaxy S pre-ROOT with JP3 Froyo or stock rom

Bell (canada) calls it Vibrant, but it's really I9000 with NAM.
anyways, I prepared some tutorial based on MODACA, Paul's JP3 rom (prerooted)
(Paul's original thread can be found here. http://alturl.com/bu6qh)
Before I begin, I would like to warn you.
I initially bought 2 phones but only one of the phone was able to go into "download mode"
this is very important because in case of emergency, this is the only way to revive the phone.
if your phone can't get into "download mode" by pressing "pwr, vol down, home" simultaneously, then
I advise you to
go back to the store and have it exchanged
go back to the store and have it exchanged
go back to the store and have it exchanged
When I went to the futureshop to excahnge the phone, I tried the phone right on the spot after the payment.
put the battery in, three button, if you see the download mode.
Take the phone.
Another way of quickly checking if the phone can go into download mode by pressing buttons vol down home pwr to turn on and see if it goes into the DL mode
IF your phone can't be in download mode and you don't feel like exchanging the phone.

===============One shot BETA froyo JP3 FW pre root===================
pre req, <samsung kies installed> <win7 64bit adb usb driver>
Steps: (download the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9J6TYUKF unzip with 7zip)
1. put the battery into the galaxy S
2. Go into the download mode (mentioned above)
3. run Odin
4. select PIT 512 (included) chose radio, PDA, CSC and check repartition
5. connect the phone
6. FLASH!!!!!!
7. done
your phone is now rooted with latest JP3 FROYO.
I will post the video tutorial soon
I am currently using this phone on FIDO with sim unlocker that I bought 2 years ago from
dealextreme.com
it works with data, SMS, outbound calls
but I am having trouble receiving calls. (8outof 10 times, it goes directly into the voicemail)
this is not realated to the firmware but my faulty sim adapter.
I ordered an unlock code from unlockgenie (for 26$)
I will report once I get the unlock code.
========ROOT for STOCK ROM===========
(if you would rather wait for the real Froyo from samsung)
the attachment is the modified version for 2.1
I simply changed i9000 to i9000M
put the file in the SDCARD (not external SD card)
do vol up, home, pwr
chose to run update.zip
now you have rooted I9000M
===========tweak=================
do the following tweak
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749495
My score went up from 900~ to 1700~ woot!!!!
========AUG10th===================
Been using JP3 last couple of days with above once click patch.
the patch made huge difference.
Browser crashes time to time where there's heavy flash video.
missing incoming calls due to the unlock sim adapter,
outgoing and 3G works great
===========================================
Latest Adobe Flash
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NT2ER7HX
websites tend to crash less with the latest Flash beta 3
=====================================
64bit driver for ADB
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K5458W3G
Use drop box if you want to share your android phone with PC
http://db.tt/pGyW1E

for those who are worried about losing WCDMA850 band (850 3G frequency)
I can confirm that with JP3 rom, you will get the band depending on the area.
Although in the service menu, 850 band is not picked, my phone was on 850 3G band.

yes, like many others, i've found out my version of Bell, does not allow you to do the 3 button recovery mode
now i've to do it the long way via adb, but even so it's not showing up in the list of usb devices in adb.
but it works fine in win7 x64 + Kies and as a Mass Storage
not sure if it's something in Bell firmware did to block the phone to make it harder to hack

Downloaded 2times, and tried 7zip -> same problem...

does this unlock the phone by any chance?

Mine just keeps rebooting when I hold down by pressing "pwr, vol down, home" simultaneously. I must be doing something wrong.. but I can get in download mode when connect to my computer and I use the Android development tools
I don't think swaping the phone is going to work for most people since the phone a store has are likey from the same lot.

I got the Vibrant from Bell and have the same problem as you. I can't get into Download Mode not matter what I try. I can get the phone into Recovery Mode using the Android SDK though. How do you get into Download Mode using the SDK?
I successfully rooted my phone but now I am trying to get Froyo on it. Is it possible to use Rom Manager to flash to Android 2.2? I tried using the rom you linked but the file cannot be unzipped as others have mentioned.
Thanks

"adb reboot download" does the trick.

Thanks Now I just need the the rom... does anyone know if the phone can be flashed with the firmwares listed on samsung-firmware.webs.com?

I will re up the file.
Btw if you still have the stock rom and it doesnt go into download mode
i insist that you get your phone exchanged
what if it gets bricked? Then you cant restore it anymore because you need debug mode for adb

I'm betting it's not your "faulty SIM adaptor" but rather you not having the 850 HSPA band with the I9000 firmware.
And good luck with that unlock code, but it's not going to happen any time soon. Trust me, I've been through this with the Captivate.

I doubt that it's 850mhz issue
because the phone has physical hardware to support 850 and when I did the test on JP3
I didn't update the radio (baseband) and I was having the same issue.
however when I'm on a call with someone( I already called the other person) I do get an incoming call.

the reason why update doesn't work is because you need to change the model number to i9000M
I will also post the modified version of update.zip
btw this version of update.zip only works if you have stock rom.

Phone stuck in "Download mode" after official Pie OTA update!

Hey good people.
Yesterday i was excited to see the notification for Pie update come up, so i quickly installed it on the phone. It finished, then asked me to reboot, so i did. But for some reason, the phone couldn't reboot properly, and ended up getting stuck in download mode.
Tried to get out of it using every combination, nothing worked. Then i decided, well, lets reinstall the firmware on it. If i could find any! Majority of links are misleading, don't work, yandex disk links didnt let me download anything. Tried like 3 different versions of OST, none of them worked, not even the patched one, not to mention the lack of firmware in the first place.
The only step forward i could make is getting the phone to show up in device manager, because it hasnt even showed up before.
i've never even fiddled with the device's software or anything, everything was 100% stock and untouched.
i'm seriously disappointed in nokia, already contacted the reseller who yet has to reply (i don't have much hope for that either).
Any kinda help would be highly appreciated.

i honestly have no idea about the type, but i have screenshot

actually, no matter what i pressed in what order or battery percentage, it just said "download mode", and i also couldnt even turn the phone off either.
tbh i've contacted the reseller since then, and we'll probably just send it back in the next few days

Don't you have the retail box? The type should be written on it. Also, do you have the ZEISS logo on the camera? If not, then you most likely have the TA-1054 variant, which is for the Chinese market.

it must be the Chinese then, because it doesn't have Zeiss or android one logo on it.
But actually, is that very significant?

Well, I cannot be 100% sure. But I would assume that if your phone was running a ported version of the global ROM and not the official Chinese firmware and it somehow got an OTA update then because of the differences in how the phone's memory is partitioned it would make sense that the device ends up being bricked after trying to flash something not ment to be flashed on it. :/ I hope this makes some sense to you. Also, if I am correct then it makes no sense to blame HMD for this because they have not done anything wrong. It is most likely the reseller who reflashed your TA-1054 with a ported version of the global ROM.

i've legit thought about that! the box itself has lots of chinese on it, so it might be the case. Either way, reseller responded and i'll probably just sent it back to them this week because apparently it's their fault.
strangely, my mi a1 didnt even let the OTA install when i had the bootloader unlocked, so it's weird to see a phone getting bricked like this. I actually felt guilty for letting the OTA install, even though i didn't do anything wrong here (exceptionally:laugh
Thanks for the suggestions m8!

I think You bought a crappy Chinese dummy Nokia 6.1 HMD is not in Finland hands anymore.
The hardware is different. And the software is Android one.
I am curious how your reseller solves the problem.

can anyone tell how can help to exit from download mode. i have tried by connecting charger and holding pwr button and vol up and after andriod logo came i released by pwr button and holding the vol up button. its not worked
later i connected to my pc and install adb driver and fastboot and then through cmd prompt i run adb bootloader but its not working then i check adb devices but there is nothing shows in attched devices and also i tried with fastboot reload then mobie restarts and came back to dowload mode. so out of these step can anyone have any suggestions to get back my mobile..thank you

ok so, i kinda neglected the thread but heres what happened:
i tried EDL mode with deep flash cable, didnt work. i tried installing all sorts of drivers on my PC from all sorts of sketchy sites, after a point i decided not to mess my PC or the phone up even more.
i contacted my reseller who "fixed" the phone by installing the pie update on it somehow, and it's functional now. i even told them the phone wasn't the european version but they didn't seem to care, and i didn't feel like playing with them anymore. but it's FAR from stable, buggy as hell, and LTE B20 doesn't work either (that might have a thing or 2 to do with the phone being chinese...)
thanks for all of u for helping, this particular phone was way more than enough reason for me not to buy a nokia again ))))

Mi A2 Lite Stuck on Android 8.1 - What am i doing wrong?

Hi everybody,
i have a new Mi A2 Lite. I purchased it from a private person, not a shop, but it was still in foil and opened by me. It works nicely, is fast, the phone feels fine, i like it. It has AndroidONE, Oreo, on it. If i search for updates, it tells me that it is up to date and there are no updates. The same for the security patches - they are from nov. 2018, which is nearly a year ago, but there are no updates either.
I wanted to install android 9, so i did lots of tricks and things like using a VPN to poland and resetting the phone and so on, but to no avail - there are no updates.
so...
(1) is there something that can be done wrong? why wouldnt the phone find updates?
(2) is there a way to flash the official OTA zip without unlocking? I do not want a special kernel or rom, i dont want to modyfy anything on the os, i just want the official, latest os on the phone
(3) Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi!
Could you please share a screenshot showing your actual Android build number and kernel version? You might have a fake A2 lite (Redmi 6 Pro).
Edit: Don't flash anything before you're sure that your device is a geniue A2 lite, otherwise you will brick your device.

yep, i heard about that. unfortunately, i did flash it by now, but the flash worked perfectly. i unlocked the bootloader with fastboot, flashed the last fastboot package, and re-locked the bootloader. the device is now on android pie and it still works nicely. is there any way to find out if it is genuine after flashing?

So, now i can say the following:
- the deveice works still well with the flashed software.
- the device did just find and download the google security patches of sep 2019
- the imei of the device passes the xiaomi authentication test
so, i am somewhat sure that the device is an original.
still, i am interested why the device was stuck on the old version. maybe it could only handle incremental updates and the old incremental update was not available anymore?

Hi!
I have simmiliar issue. New, 100% original Mi A2 Lite. It downloaded 1GB update 8.0 to 8.1 (?), but no update for Android 9, and now it is stuck.
My screens:
ibb.co/SKjNJ6D
ibb.co/YR4793D
Regards!

Facing The same in my Mi A1
The same thing is happening with my Mi A1, I have Android 8.1 an I hadn't update to Android 9. Every day the notification for Android 9 would appear in my phone, saying that is available.
Today that update didn't show and when I checked for updates, it said I was already up to date.
Sorry for my English, I barely know it

Well i could probably Help you to flash your device but you should be sure that the device is not a fake, too. I cannot help you with that though. I will look in here tomorrow and give you a few hints to the flashing process.

So, the screenshots of the A2 Lite look pretty mich exactly like mine did. for me the only way was to reflash the device. if you are interested, i can tell you how, but there is a risk of bricking your device if it is a fake a2 lite. i cannot tell by your screenshots, maybe @thorin0815 can?
Otherwise, do you want to try it and risk ist?
edit: you can put in your imei here to check your phone, though i would not entirely trust it.

You're right, your device looks like a geniue A2 lite. We never had an update from 8.0 to 8.1, it was shipped with 8.1.
Maybe Xiaomi pulled the incremental (8.1->9.0) OTA updates from their servers.
The "safest" way to update would be to flash the latest available full firmware via Miflash tool.

well, thats what i did. fortunately there is no longer the need to wait for hours or days to unlock the bootloader, it works in an instant now even without registration.

I did not notice what update it was downloading. I unboxed it, then I connect to WiFi and it started downloading. Anyway it downloaded aprox. 1GB of data, then restart and update. And now it is stuck with 8.1. I thought it will be Android 9 after update with latest patches.
I validate IMEI's on site and it is valid, also it has all google logos, and so on.
Is there any comprehensive update manual for MiFlash for this model?

Well, Not that I know of one that is really complete and up to date. But here you are (own phone, own risk!). Back up your phone first!
Switch on your phone.
Go to settings, about phone.
Tap the build number multiple times until "you are a developer".
Open the developer options.
Switch on USB debugging.
Switch on "allow unlocking bootloader".
Leave settings.
Download this, and install it, answering yes to all three questions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Connect the phone and when asked, accept the adb debug question on your phone. Your computer is now allowed to debug your phone.
Also download your new os from here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ (put your phone model in there and download the latest fastboot image)
Unpack it. Depending on your packing program you might have to unpack twice - you should have a few folders and files.
Download the mi flash tool here:
https://www.xiaomiflash.com/
Now you are ready. Take a deep breath. Make sure your phone is charged, 50% should be enough.
Disconnect and Switch off the phone. Hold volume down and power until a rabbit working on an Android robot is seen on the screen. Now reconnect the cable.
Open a command window on the computer by pressing windows+R and entering "cmd".
In that window, type "fastboot oem unlock" and press enter. You should get the answer "OKAY".
If your phone reboots now, hold volume down and power again until the rabbit is there again.
Start miflash. Show miflash the folder in which you unpacked the os files.
In the lower right select "clean and lock" and then press update, select your phone, and press flash.
Flashing now takes roundabout 5 minutes.
Afterwards your phone should reboot into Android 9. Your data will be gone (though my phone managed to keep a few of it's settings for some reason).
Good luck!

OP8 pro stuck with C21

Hello,
I have a OnePlus 8 Pro device that has been stuck at version IN2023_11_C.21 for some time.
I've seen versions up to C33 come out, but never received them.
If I remember correctly, I upgraded from Android 11 to 12, via Oxygen Updater.
Now, on this app it tells me that setting the device as EU is wrong: I have to put INDIA, but I bought it from the official EU store.
So I'm quite confused and I would like to bring my device back to an official rom, then hoping for the update to 13.
I've read a few conversations, but there are a lot of procedures and I haven't figured out which one is the most correct to do.
Thanks for the replies.

Make sure all your computer drivers are up to date including the optional ones.
Don't try to get in EDL mode. Start MSM and hit the start button so it will be looking for your phone. Plug it in to your computer and hold down volume up + volume down and the power key. It can be off or on when you start this. It should grab hold and start installing and then let go of the buttons. When you hard reset from an phone that's on, it puts in EDL mode automatically.

That Param preload fail error cause you don't have the qualcomm driver. Check the MSM page for the download.

There is a comment somewehere that says u have to mod of a newer rom a txt...
I think that's your solution. If u know the exact odel u have (and region) use oxygen updated to download the correct rom
Inside zip file (I open it in 7zip) open "payload_properties.txt" in Notepad and change one line from:
oplus_update_engine_verify_disable=0
to:
oplus_update_engine_verify_disable=1
And save it - I do it at computer so 7zip repack only this changed file.

Jimger is right, one addition. Don't extract payload_properties file, but rather edit it in archive. Idk why, but only editing file while being in archive works for me. Additionally you MUST have OPLocalUpdateForAndroid12.apk to make it work. When i was on OOS12 i installed beta 2 of OOS13 this method, then upgraded to Global OOS 13 when it was out, then yesterday i flashed EU version (sincerely i don't see any difference, only for some reason in IN build i got... VoLTE somehow), so now i'm at OOS13 EU.

Hi! I got a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5g that i bought from a store as second hand. They give a 14 days waranty but I don't really have the time to send the phone to service.
My problem is this... The phone right now has android 12 one ui 4.0 with Android security patch level from march 1, 2022. I want to upgrade it to android 13, but everytime I try thru OTA it fails at 25% and comes back to original saying Failed to install update, contact a samsung service center. Or something similar.
I found on the web that updating thru Samsung Smart Switch should work, but for me it doesn't. It downloads 7.3 gb of updates, after that phone enters download mode and I get after some time a NOTICE on the computer that "failed to recognize software update mode" and instructs me to reboot device and try again. I even enabled USB debug mode and I get the same NOTICE on the computer. And after that I reboot phone from downloading mode and everything is back to original.
The phone was charged 50%+ everytime i tried, also I got enough rom memory, I checked. Changed usb cable to another USB on the laptop and I get the same result from Smart Switch.
Phone model is SM-A528B/DS. I will provide more info if needed.
What I can do to succesfully update the software on my A52s 5g? I searched on the web to no result to my Smart Switch error. Also I've seen that are alot of cases where thru OTA the phone fails at 25%, but either they succesfully updated thru Smart Switch or no response.
I want to try installing the official rom from sammobile but I really don't know what firmware I should pick.
Thank you in advance!

Does it matter from what carrier did the phone come from? The baseband is different from the file that you posted. Or doesn't matter? Anyway, downloaded it, now i'm looking for a tutorial on how to flash the rom. Thanks!

Can I use update from SD card from recovery mode? It's easier i guess.

I just flashed the rom you provided. Hurray! It works just fine with odin. If anybody got the same problem with their phone, flashing with odin does a great job!
God bless you Unreal_Hawkz!
