This file contains everything you need to restore your Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830D from Kooodo Mobile to Stock Rom Version
Messed up my phone had a hard time finding the right files so now back up think these will make easier for everyone who needs them.
You can download it from mediafire.com/?768k23chd1nfs25
(The file is not password protected)
I have also include the file use to root phone afterwards in attachements along with ClockWork Mod 5 you do not need these unless your planning install a custom rom.
Wow. Thanks, that's amazing! Been looking for those files for a while, I might be restoring it then trading it in for an upgrade
Probably not though. I like having an extra device for testing purposes
How would one flash this? Its a .rar file not a .zip

It's MULTI-CSC, the koodo rom is within it, when installed, do *#272*Device IMEI# (Do *#06# for your IMEI Before) and choose KDO..It will reboot and reset to factory.

I just went on SamMobile, found the download link. However, when trying to download the file, the server fails to download, stating "Bad Gateway".
If somebody do have the file, I'd like to know a way to get it.

Greetings XDA,
Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.
How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?
Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.
Can it be restored?
Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?
Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.
Find your original firmware in intratechs thread and flash it through odin

You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..
If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root
Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.

My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.
Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.
Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?
A lawyer doesn't lie, just manipulates truth and info

I can't seem to log on to Samfirmware at the moment, don't know why, so I can't check the available firmwares or your link.
Is there a BOKK1 firmware for Cosmote there? If so, that's the one you want.
If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

If you're not locked, any Cosmote firmware should be fine.

I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.

I've checked and can't see anything there. Thanks.
Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

Hi there.
I'm running into a specific problem with my SGS2.
After successfully upgrading to multiple Stock ICS from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 , I keep receiving the same message when I try to make a phone call : "NOT REGISTERED ON THE NETWORK".
The phone is not picking up my network and it's on Emergency calls only.
At first, 3G/HSPDA connectivity wasn't working. Only WiFi was working.
However after following a procedure on another thread, I entered the code *2767*3855# immediatly after flashing yet another stock ICS rom.
To my surprise the 3G/HSPDA connectivity was working this time. I took as a sign of victory, but that was only short noticed since the phone was still on Emergency calls only and it still gave me that network error message.
Guys PLEASE I implore you to help me find a solution.
I've flashed the above stock rom (using ODIN of course) in the following order :
1.) I9100XWLP4_I9100LUXLP1_LUX
2.) I9100XWLP7_I9100OXELP7_SER
3.) I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP5_XEU
What could have possibly went wrong ?
I reside in Cape Town, South Africa. I did the flashing for a friend and his network works just fine....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Steve

Bumping posts in a short time space is not allowed this is not Samsung service fix your phone forum .
First is to check you have the correct IMEI on your phone .
If not then restore your backed up EFS folder .If you have not backed up EFS then you need to start reading the IMEI and EFS posts .

Hi i am having the same error, i have tried two different versions of ICS both are official versions. They both install fine and after the phone reboots it goes straight to the home screen without asking for the code. The data network is not active as well as the phone. When i try to make a call it gives me the
"not registered on network error"
I have even tried updating via kies which produces the same result.
The last two installs i tried was with ODIN.
I have gone back to version 2.3.4 which is working fine
any help will be greatly appreciated thanks you

Remove battery then check on the underside of the phone your model no.
What country ?
What carrier are you with?
What ICS are you trying to install?
Which gingerbread are you able to use?
PS you can find out which firmware you are on by dialing *#1234#

Definately the firmware for South Africa; "Samfirmware shows both to be either Vodafone or XFM".
While on Gingerbread backup your EFS using HC-Ktool or any other EFS backup tool if thats not available in your country.
You could then if needed restore using the same app.
What sort of code do you normally have to input before you get to your main home screen?
Do you do a complete data/factory reset and full wipe/format system before installing new firmware.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Hi it's a sim card code i input before i get to the home screen. I did a factory reset and erased the usb storage, and then i used odin to load ICS on the phone.
So you say it must be the firmware since i am on MTN and i am trying to load a vodaphone rom?
Try a firmware from here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
instructions of how to flash are also posted there.
Look for your region or a multi CSC region.
(taken from a previous post).
Copy your internal sdcard and external micro sdcard to your PC.
Boot into recovery. Data factory reset. Advanced option, wipe dalvik cache.
Mounts and storage option, format system; data; sdcard.
Also try Ultimate cleaning script
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1166954
Install correct stock firmware using Odin or place a custom rom zip on your sdcard and install from recovery.
Once firmware has booted, from the dial pad, dial *2767*3855#
This will factory data reset.
Wait for firmware to reboot.
Hopefully after that you should be OK.
I got the same probleme some time ago. The only workaround was to switch off the pin-code in settings and then turn it on again...
After flashing a new firmware and do a full wipe, the problem was gone...
Thanks guys i will try both these methods and report back...
First of a big THANK YOU to both of you guys for helping...
-I 1st did a factory reset
-Then Disabled the Sim Card Pin Request
-Downloaded the XFA firmware that you told me to download
-Flashed with ODIN and ICS was working.
Oh before i did all of this i downloaded an official version of Android 2.3.4 and flashed to phone.
I don't know if that had anything to do with it but just thought i would mention it in case it did.
So thanks again guys really awesome...

Oh before i did all of this i downloaded an official version of Android 2.3.4 and flashed to phone.
I don't know if that had anything to do with it but just thought i would mention it in case it did.
So thanks again guys really awesome...

Flashing back to original firmware , ie gingerbread is always a good idea. On quite a few threads, members have had problems going from one ICS to another.
Pleased it has worked out for you.

you are probably missing the keystr file in efs\imei folder. Just restore back that file and you can use back the sim card pin lock. i had a similar issue previously too.

THANK GOD I found this thread !! thanks mates
OK I have spent ages looking though all the threads on here and I am getting confused with all the numbers and codes
I have a Galaxy II GT-i9100
The the details are
Android Version 2.3.5
Base Version I9100NEK12
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I9100XWK18-CL616395 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD XWK18
I have tried to follow a few links of here to unlock it but the links they show to the 'ODIN' are dead.
All I want to do is Unlock it from the present provider (UK)3 to be able to use another SIM.
Later on I might want to change the ROM
I have Changemod 7 on my old Desire.
Could any kind soul please point me in the right directions for the files software I need.
I know this keeps getting asked over and over again but I do really find the jargon hard to follow.
Thanks again you are a great bunch.
Did you try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092451

Think you really need to read the roll up sticky thread.
In the mean time.. Do this..
Turn of phone. Take out battery for a minute. Put battery back in..then..
Press volume up, main button at bottom of screen," menu button " and power button at same time and wait for phone to turn on.. You should then be in recovery.. Go down to data/factory reset and select it. Then reboot.

Wouldn't go into recovery mode
OK I can get the standard ROM back on but it won't root or install recovery

Meant Odin Still can't get the SIM lock to unlock
Hi!
All you need to do is flash a standard firmware with odin.
Here is the thread for Official firmwares, with instructions.
You want:
XWLPD
Firmware info
PDA:XWLPD
PHONE: XXLPW
Date: 08/05/2012
Android 4.0.3
This is ICS and is located 2nd from bottom of third post.
Does it matter it says its for the GT ?
Thanks
any clue on SIMunlocking not working ? DO I need a SIM card in the phone ?
and do I need the Kernal and do I update it after the firmware the same way with Orion ?
Thanks

According to your OP, you have the GT-I9100. If correct then that is the firmware required for an upgrade to ICS. You will not have any sim lock after this and just leave sim in if you like.

Let the phone boot, shut it down. Then as before, flash
CF-Root-SGS2_XX_NEE_LPD-v5.5-CWM5.zip from (unzip and extract tar to flash) here
Please be aware that this is the Official Samsung firmware and you will have Samsung's interpretation ei similar looks to GB.

Your phone's the SPH-L710, amiright? Download one of the firmwares from this page (I recommend going with the latest one on 4.1.2). The firmware file is going to be rather large (maybe around 1 Gigabyte). Once it is complete, download Odin from here, and you can find a simple explanation on how to use it here. You're going to have to extract the .tar (or .tar.md5) file in the firmware .zip you downloaded earlier. That .tar.md5 goes under 'one package' in Odin. If you have any questions or you are unsure of anything, don't proceed until you understand it all. You can seriously mess up your device if you make a mistake. Feel free to PM me all your concerns and questions. I'll help.
Download firmware related to your model number from samfirmware.com and flash it using odin
