Hi. I hope you can help me. I have managed to screw up the firmware on my O2 based Samsung galaxy. I am desperately looking for a copy of the o2 firmware ( I9000ADJM1 ) to reflash the phone with to reset it completely but cannot find it but you appear to have found it or so it seems.
I have hunted on the internet in general and can find many version of the galaxy firmware but not this one. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get the O2 firmware to put into Odin and reflash my phone back to it's original state - rather than loose the phone for a week or more buy giving back to O2 to send to Samsung to try and fix?
Thanks
Max
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5300 and i need to be able to debrand name(Mobistar) from my samsung galaxy S5300.
I have installed already firmware with Odin and everything worked perfectly but i get always to read in KIES at firmware: S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and MST stand for brand name of the provider and i can't get rid of it with installation of new firmware.
So i really need help to tell me HOW I CAN DEBRAND NAME FROM MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S5300(POCKET)?
Please can anyobody help me with this problem? And simply installing new firmware doesn't help!!! Already tried it MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere in the phone with name of the provider and i want to get rid of it.
So now it doesn't work with the way i already did MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere where i can't remove it now with installing new firmware(NON BRANDED ALWAYS) only.
I guess it is branded in the phone memory. Because i can't erase(format) system storage. Even after a hard reset there is still kept 0.89GB system storage. So what i got to do to format or erase that systemstorage?

Just installing non brand firmware doesn't help at all.
I keep reading after my firmware (MST) which stands for Mobistar. So it is branded somewhere in the phone with name of the provider and i want to get rid of it.

i had Mobistar widgets till i reïnstalled new firmware S5300XXLF5 2.3.6 June 2012. NOw all Mobistar widgets are gone but in the firmware i keep reading S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and (MST) stands for Mobistar. So i need to get rid of that to get back warranty because now i don't get support from KIES anymore.
I dont have a Mobistar sim but i kept getting notificaiton of Mobistar Tv etc.... .
I got tired of that and i couldn't remove those programs from the firmware cause they are branded in the firmware so i reïnstalled new firmware.
The problem is the phone is branded with the name of the provider Mobistar somewhere which i can't delete now. What important is what KIES say is the firmware name which is already installed as new, non branded firmware which i have download from sammobile.com and KIES says S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and MST stand for brand name of the provider and i can't get rid of it with installation of new firmware.
So now i don't know how to get rid of the branded mark in the phone. I also had in the firmware which i couldn't uninstall widgets from Mobistar for Mobistar tv, etc. Even when i don't have a Mobistar sim i received notifications of upgrade of those Mobistar programs and i don't use those programs.
So i installed non branded firmware and even then i don't get rid of the (MST) notification!! That is the big problem.
When i don't get the possibility to get support for software upgrade through KIES then i have no warranty anymore for my brand new smartphone!
So everything is alright for my software only it is no Mobistar firmware which it should be now because the phone is still branded as Mobistar phone and i have no LOCKS for SIM, I CAN USE ANY SIM.
Can't i reïnstall new system storage without the brand of Mobistar?
Please can anybody help me soon so i have my warranty back?
Hi all,
I was recently given a Samsung Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7562) which was bought in China.
It already came a bit hacked, since it looks like the people selling it in China changed it a bit. It came with the Chinese baseband S7562ZCLK2, but PDA and CSC corresponded to a firmware from XSG region, which I think is United Arab Emirates. Thanks to this, it came with many languages, and not just English and Chinese, but, since it's quite a "Frankenstein", right now it won't be detected by Kies.
I have complete freedom to work on this phone, since I don't use it, so I was trying to get it flashable by Kies. Whenever I try to flash any non Chinese firmware via Odin, it errors out when trying to upload fat.bin. I've already read that is due to trying to flash a firmware from another region. But at least, I've managed to get the PDA I want.
Then, after examining the files on the firmware tar file (all the firmwares I've tried where downloaded from sammobile.com) I noticed that cache.img seemed to contain the CSC files, inside a file, called sec_csc.zip, which can be flashed using the stock recovery. Using that, I managed to change the CSC to DBT (Germany) and the PDA is now XXBMD6, also Germany.
The problem now is that Kies finally recognizes the phone, but will never find updates, since it still has the Chinese S7562ZCLK2 baseband.
The question is: is there any way I can get the correct baseband, which I think is S7562DBTBME1, so I can have Kies detect the phone 100% correctly and let me install the latest update on it?
Thanks in advance.
In case anyone has thought of it, I have already found this post, but the info is not applicable to the Galaxy S Duos:

Hi everybody
I purchased recently a galaxy note edge online. I live in UAE. To my surprise the phone was a Korean Olleh SM-N915K instead of a middle east UAE version SM-N915F. It had a lot of Korean programs in addition to an Arabic interface. I tried checking for update but it gave me a message that the android OS was tempered with and it is rooted and I can not check for update. I am a novice in this issue so I thought if I do a factory reset things will be back to normal but unfortunately the phone hanged on the android boot screen and I had to do some web search to eventually hard reset and then attach to Kies 3 to re download the firmware/ROM. Now the phone has the genuine Korean software and can check for updates and I changed the interface to English with Arabic support but I lost some features mainly location related applications. I tried to root again and install another software for the middle east/ UAE area but every attempt was a failure. It can only re-install the Korean software.
the phone is an octacore one. The other software I tried to install was the XSG version for UAE.
I am sure that some kind of similar software was installed after rooting of the phone initially when I used for the first time, probably tailored for the UAE and it could use the location service adequately and this explains the initial Arabic interface.
I need your help in finding this UAE software and any needed steps and softwares to re-install it and fix this problem
Your help is really appreciated
Thanks
