Hello man!
[2 Questions, 1: get back stock rom]SOLVED maybe next time i better get peanut butter of my eyes first.. Thanks for talking about!
O2 German Ace S5830 stock rom PDA:XWKPY CSC:VIAKP1 BASEBAND:XWKP8 (found on sammobile, its the one from 1969...) flash first other multi-csc rom and set to VIA for future kies updates.
Get my ace a few days ago and flashed sth here and there without thinking about getting back to stock rom later. Had a HD2 some time ago where you get stock rom for all country and provider on htc homepage..
So im sitting here and want my ace back to out-of-box state but no rom ive found seems to be right. looked on sammobile.com, searched xda and at last tons of google results.
didnt know what the name of stock rom was.. only baseband XWKP8 which i only found on some russian site and that it was android 2.3.3. doestn want to try unless sbdy can say me its save..
Got my ace from O2 Germany without contract, so no simlock etc..
My intention is to get some o2 germany rom back, so i can update with kiez to latest. tried a lot of roms from sammobile, modified csc to DBT (germany) and VIA (should to be o2 germany csc code).
[2 Question unsolved]
Had problems with several ROMs with wifi / 3g network, couldnt activate/deactivate or wifi is not getting IP, need to reboot every time to fix that.. Which baseband is best for which rom / my country? (gingerbread, ics, etc...)
Maybe i am spoiled from HD2.. sry for that
PS[Maybe irrelevant: now flashing leaving EFS blank, seems to work fine too, dont know yet if better]: Something else.. Instructions for flashing rom with ODIN are confusing me, sbdy say dont touch PDA others say dont touch EFS. Flashed all the time not touching PDA, putting boot to boot, code to phone, csc to csc and modem to efs. Still have my IMEI so all right or just lucky? Read all the newbie guides (which were very confusing) imo i read sth about backup imei but i am not sure as if and how.
Hope you can help me, thanks for all guys reading and thinking about.
Im looking for UK orange stock rom and cant find it on samfirmware. I want to flash with odin from cm7 so need all files not the all in one.
Thanks
be hard to find, i cant find O2-UK stck rom!!
Try sammobile.com, samfirmware.com is now defunct and hasn't been updated since end of 2011. You will need to sign up for another account go to the forum, Android phones, then Galaxy Ace and then look in provider firmware, you will probably have to use the firmware naming process tells you how to know what country its from and what date it was built and operator.

Hello!
Probably it's not the perfect thread to post in, but i've got an Ace with signal problems. I'm on 3 UK network, and so far i know, there's only 2.2 branded firmware issued for this device. I have that in md5 format, which i can flash through odin, however that is a [email protected] Is there any way to flash the csc from that to any gingerbread version? as it is in .rfs format, and odin does not really like it. Is it affecting in any way my phone if i flash that to a gingerbread format, or ICS if i can? If so, could you tell me how to do it? Or how to solve my network signal issue? So far itried it with CM7, CM9, but it was still bad. I mean i did not have any signal, however in my I9100 there's almost full coverage in the same place, and i'm not using stock rom on that one. I just flashed the modem from the carrier branded firmware, but to flash on that device is much more easier, as there is many source for the modem file in the correct format.
So to make it clear, i need someone to help me to solve network issue (3 UK) in any way like flashing somehow the modem from old 2.2 (if that's possible), or if someone can point me a firmware with working "radio"/modem. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I'm attempting to return my I9100 to stock so I can update via KIES as I wish to sell it, after rooting, flashing ICS, playing around for a month etc...
It was originally a T-mobile handset, I used checkfus to find the original stock ROM, and I've downloaded it, however, I cannot get hold of the stock kernel for love nor money! (I've googled it, found one apparent alternative source, but for some reason it wont boot using this and just keeps looping through the T-mobile branded load-up screen)
The kernel I'm after is the following:

[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
I've read the thread and checked both Sammobile and Samsung-update and neither has the BOKE3 Kernel.
If anyone has this, please, please could you upload it so I can return my handset to stock, I would really appreciate it.
Also, if I'm doing anything obviously wrong, please point me in the right direction, I am a n00b at this. (I've successfully reset my counter using triangle away, and flashed the ROM from checkfus, but KIES still says NO!)
Many thanks!

ps. I realise now I should have backed up my stock kernel and ROM before tweaking, stupid stupid stupid...
I stopped reading somewhere when you say you downloaded using checkfuS and now after a stock kernel.........
Buddy ROM package like you get from checkfus is whole thing including kernel.
Just flash the ROM using Odin.
But be sure its for i9100 if you have that.

Why don't you just download and flash latest ICS ROM with UK support?
Do you really need the branded version?
Just have a look at Intratech's other thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I recommend XWLPD, as this has best balance between performance and battery life on my phone.
If you want to go bak to GB, then flash XWLA4, which was best GB ROM IMO.
Thank you so much atifsh!
I did wonder whether the firmware download from CheckFus included the kernel, but couldn't figure it out (I'm stupid, I know! I'm new at this stuff...)
It's definitely the i9100 (checked under battery), it's definitely a T-mobile UK handset (bought it from a T-mobile customer who provided the contract paperwork).
Last night I tried flashing the latest T-mobile firmware, but KIES didn't like it, so tried flashing the BOKE3 firmware (oldest T-mobile branded firmware) and it didn't like that either.
Someone mentioned that when flashing you need to add the firmware file to the CSC section of odin to reset the CSC code, is this correct? I normally only include it in the PDA section.
This may be the problem I'm having as when I check my CSC using *#272*IMEI# it only lists CPW (carphone warehouse) and not TMU (T-mobile). Does this make sense as to why KIES wouldn't recognise the firmware?
I really appreciate your input and help here. Many thanks!
Luke
Hi It_ler,
Thanks for the advice, I was running the latest ICS firmware from the official thread, however I've decided to sell the device and would like to restore it to stock so that whomever I sell it to can update it through the official methods if they so wish.
Hope that makes sense!
Luke
Remove Sim, remove external sdcard.
Put the firmware.md5 in pda
Put your phone in download mode
after flash and boot dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe your phone and hopefully fix your csc.
Atifsh,
Thank you SO much! You saved my bacon. It worked when I did the *2767*3855# reset, this fixed the CSC and then the phone could update via KIES.
I really appreciate you help,
Many thanks,
Luke
Short story
Can someone please point me to the T-mobile UK firmware?
Long story
I used Odin to flash Multipackage XXLH3 ROM for s5830i by Alucard1989pl
Since then I've had lots of issues with phone network.
For some reason my phone only connects to a network called EE.
Also when I search for available networks it doesn't show T-mobile.
Big thanks in advance for getting back to me. My GF is trying to kill me for messing her phone up. :crying:
try this one to see if sim can connect to T-Mobile...

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't T-Mobile and Orange combined their networks and are now known as EE?

For some reason Odin keeps giving me a "fail" when I try to flash that ROM.
@N8trix You're right. But still having network issues since flashing that CSC, PDA and PHONE.
Also somehow all 200 sim contacts were wiped.
Would just like to stock the phone. Kies firmware restore feature isnt working at all.
Sorry about the lack of detail right now. At work.
Are you sure you have S5830i. Maybe 5839i or a plain 5830. Or may be a different phone. Can you verify your model?
Do you want an empty life, or a meaningful death?
