Emergency help need asap

[Tufftoad]

I would flash the Stock rom from SamMobile as I know where it has come from.

There is no compatibility issues as I also use an Orange sim and have no issues.

Ok thankyou i will do that, will this mean my phone is now sim unlocked or not?

[Tufftoad]

Don't think it will be sim unlocked, think there is more of a process involved with doing that.

[Calum]

okay cheers it has just finished downloading i will flash it now, if it doesnt boot shell i trying doing a factory restart and boot it again?

If you click PDA and you cannot see the file then you could try unzipping the files and see if you can then select either one.

Honestly though I would still use the I9000XXJVT from SamMobile.

there is one labled odin, maybe i should select that one as it is a tar file and the rest and MD5, maybe its a shortcut or something? My mistake it is a pit file shell i add it in the pit section? and start

What files are you talking about now? Did you download the stock firmware from SamMobile? If so then you will 5 files but will only need 4:

Tick repartition

Pit = s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA = CODE_I9000XXJVT_CL617736_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.m d5
PHONE = MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5
CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5 (This is the full CSC, the other Home CSC contains only has a few regions)

[Calum]

Yes that is the one i have entered that, so now all i do is put my phone into download mode? (vol- and home and power) then start?

[Tufftoad]

Yup, you can then start.

I thought you were referring to the other firmware with the .dll

Remember that the boot up may take some time, up to 12 mins.
