So, they are are retards because they can't assist in helping you upgrade your phone from an unsupported firmware version? If you yet still upgraded after TMO issue the warning about JI5, then that was even more unwise.
Visual Odin Guide (use Odin v1.3 instead, though) ...c'mon even a caveman could do it!

Q:what does vibrant stock look like?

i have to send my vibrant back to tmobile because it wont charge. i already odin it back to stock. but the question is what does stock look like? ive had it rooted since day one and i forgot lol. it has the sims and avatar and all that fun stuff on there but i just want to double check before i send it back. so far its 2.1 the build name is eclair. i cant remember the rest because the battery died. i used whatever stock was on aio vibrant toolbox i think also its T959UVJFD. . should i be safe? if someone can post a snapshot for me that would be great thanks i looked on the forums for stock pictures and cant find it ><.
Yes, that is all you need.
cool thank you i was just worried about the hefty fee they give you if they catch you sending it back rooted
Tell them you don't know what happened that samsung kies update killed it. Even if you send it in with a custom ROM still installed, DENY, DENY, DENY! Thats what I did I think samsung kies updates have killed soo many phones to date that they don't even question it anymore. You say "samsung kies" they say "we will send you a replacement sir"LOL, end of story.

HELP Samsung Showcase!!! Please

I have installed the Superclean ROM into my phone and a Verizon Fascinate kernel. My phone will no longer boot into Android nor CWM red. Is there anything I can do to restore it back to its original state? Nandroid backup never wokred for me so I haven't been able to create a back up.
If/when i can get this cleaned up is there any ROMs or kernels for the Showcase on Cell South?
Phone:Samsung Showcase 2.2.1 (Froyo)
Carrier:Cell South
P.S. this is the closest forum I can get to my phone...

Have you found any standalone radio/modem tar. files that you flash via Odin for the showcase?

The only thing I flashed with Odin was CWM red and the rest went from there I don't know much about radios and nothing about modems. Is there any way I can get my phone back to a working state?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REPLYING!

There is an all in one package for the fascinate that you could flash but it contains a fascinate modem. Therefore you would have to flash a showcase modem to your phone if the all in one works. You would need to find a standalone showcase modem. A modem is what allows your phone to make calls, transmit and receive data and work with the gps. This is all theoretical of course, I don't know if the all in one for the fascinate would work but what do you have to lose. Here is the link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017817 Like I said, this contains a fascinate modem so you need to flash a showcase modem via odin after doing this. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK. But, this method has fixed my phone when nothing else could. I am about to be unable to communicate anymore for a little while but I will check this thread again to see how you are.
Alright I'll try this in the coming hour. Is there a way I can PM you to see tell you if it worked or not or can you check back later? Thanks

Well its not like you have much to lose now but I doing think its likely anything here would work for you. I'm assuming your phone and carrier is similar but kernels for one line just isn't intended to be tried on anything different.
Really hope it works but I think your phone may need to have an accident and get replaced. When you get a replacement or if you get yours working again, try to stay clear of roms/kernels for other devices.
Well, I just got it replaced over the counter as a manufacturer defect... lol thanks everyone!

Good to hear.
For the record, the Showcase is as similar to our phones as it is to the Mesmerize.

Bell Galaxy S 2.. want to go back to stock! :(

hey guys,
i just bought a samsung galaxy s2, rooted it with odin/superoneclick... works fine but i need to go back to a regular, vanilla galaxy s
i used super one click to unroot the phone, but i still get that yellow warning triangle every time i start up my phone. so i think it has something to do with that odin thing or whatever... again, super illiterate... i just really need to go back to a normal, no root, nothing regular old galaxy s 2! i'd really appreciate it guys. thanks so much!
There is (currently) no way to return to stock Bell i9100m. The firmware just hasn't been released. For future reference, do a little more reading before you flash anything as this has been mentioned in almost any thread flashing a Bell Galaxy S2 is mentioned.
Why do you want to go back anyway? Are you having some sort of problem? Is it for warranty service? If it's just the yellow triangle that's bothering you there are ways to get rid of that, use the search. Since you're still on the original firmware, at this time you will be able to get everything back to stock except the kernel.
Yep, as the poster above me mentioned theres no way to completely go back to "bell stock." Though if you just want unrooted samsung stock, flash any of the plethora of official samsung odin updates out there (kg3,kg6 etc) imo they are better anyway, no bloat and they perform better. Plus they will get rid of that pesky triangle thats bothering you so much.

thats the thread for one of the MANY updates available for the SGS II, look around you'll find tons of roms. Research how to work odin before you flash though (if thats what you are going to do) odin can easily brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing.
while i have you here... i did the odin thing, i figured, **** it, might as well just use these custom kernel things.. i have no idea what they are or do. i just flashed ninphetamine or something... what exactly does it do? also, how come titanium back up etc say that it is not rooted. do i need to do the superoneclick?
Before you continue i would suggest you start reading before flashing/doing anything more. Its scary when people flash stuff without gaining the minimum knowledge to understand whats involved and the consequences. We could hold your hand and tell ya this and that but its been said many times before in this very forums.

[Q] Telus has now removed 2.3.3 for fascinate...

Anyone happen to know, or even a guess why telus would remove the GB update from their site. I've read about people have various problems with the updating, but from what I read, those problems were PC related.
Mine worked just fine.
I also have a question... is it possible to dump a stock rom and/or radio and/or kernel without having root?
Thx
Maniac
Can anyone confirm if this is true?
That is sort of strange. Im glad I was able to get it in time. And rooted too
People were losing SD cards on telus also.

Can anyone tell me how I can rip the rom, cause I've tried the method found on these forums for the fascinate for froyo, but when I tried to odin it back it didn't work.
So right now I'm almost afraid to shut the phone off just in case I can't boot and I have no way to get it back to stock GB.
Mainly what I want to do is make a factory image that I can put somewhere for others to download it. Cause I want to try some things but I can't until telus puts the update up again.

I think Telus was getting all kinds of questions on when it would be available when they had no control over it - so they made a generic upgrade page.
I just tried with Kies and I got GingerBread BUT I'm also staring a long time at a galaxy S screen - lost my clockwork mod recovery as well (back to stock 3E).
Hmmmm - anyone know if this update is still available online somewhere as I have no OTA to get it and of course as the thread says... TELUS has pulled it.

I'm pretty sure to upgrade through the Samsung Kies software, you will have to remove any mods / hacks that you made to your phone.
Best option probably is to flash everything back to Stock, which I did. Then had no problem updating via Kies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
Alright I'll give that a shot tonight, the only 'mod' I have done would be rooting the phone - other than that it is stock at this time.
I guess the one thing I really shouldve mentioned in my first reply is I have the Fascinate 4G with TELUS, is the update specific to the 3G+?

Oh wait! If you have the Fascinate 4G+ (T959P) then you may not want to flash everything back to 2.2.
I'm not 100% sure that it may work with 4G Fascinate.
Can anyone validate the following steps will work on his Fascinate 4G+ ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
They are different phones. If you could get the 3G+ file to flash at all (which I doubt), it would almost certainly semi brick the phone. There is an update section on telus website for fascinate 4G (just below the 3G+ entry) (no update available today). When you see the update available there, you're good to go.
I have the 4g and I won't flash anything made for the 3g. Two different phones. I remember reading a thread about people bricking the 4g while trying to put 3g stuff on it.

[Q] stuck in Gingerbread

Hello friends. My AT&T SGH I-777 has become very very problematic.
It is stuck at 2.3.6 and I cannot get it back to 4.1 Jelly Bean.
After the simple fix attempts, I tried Kies twice. Odin twice. No Luck. Samsung sent me to Best Buy. No luck. Contacted Samsung again, they said send it in...I did. Today, when they asked for my credit card to charge me $70+, I said no thank you, I'll try XDA.
Apparently, trying to go from 2.3 to 4.1 is not that simple. But it can be done.
Any direction or advice is certainly welcome. Thanks in advance.
Pacqueo
It should *not* be difficult, unless you have some underlying issue.
Can you please explain in detail: tried Odin twice -- no luck.
stumped.....
Check this out: Baseband is correct for 4.1, but is stuck on Android 2.3.4.....any suggestions other than Odin or Kies?

Check the last entry in this post by @creepyncrawly, that's where you can find the Jelly Bean files you'll need to flash through Odin (get both the UCMD8 file and the AJK 4.9 kernel). Don't worry about the baseband, that's only your modem and it isn't binary/rom/OS specific.
Avoid Kies at all costs and only use Odin v3 (I believe the best version is 1.85), and if you run into trouble come back here and we'll try and help. We've all been where you are, and have flashed these files many, many times, so we know they work. Sometimes it takes several attempts with Odin to get it working, but it will flash.

I can't tell from your response whether you are having any specific issues with Odin. I'll assume that you can use Odin without issues as long as you have the correct files to flash. If that's not true, just ask and explain. As Steve said, flash the I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean) Full Odin Flashable tar. If your goal is to have stock Jelly Bean, then stop there. If you want to customize your phone after, then either Steve or I can give you additional advice if you need it. (Don't download the AJK MicSwap kernel from that page though, as it only works with ported roms and will not work with stock.)
I don't always get in here every day, but I will answer if you are patient.
...whew!
after throwing it in a drawer and going on vacation, I tried again.
It worked exactly like the instructions you gave me.
Now all I have to do is figure out why the battery is draining to 0% in less than 8 hours...just sitting, not even being used!

You could root and use better battery stats to diagnose the drain. There's a thread in the general forum, [REF] Known identified battery drainers which may be of help.
