I'm wanting to flash my Galaxy 3, but incase something happens, a lot of you say you roll back to your old firmware, well I don't know where to get that. My phone is from Vodafone New Zealand, and I can't get 2.2 because they won't authorise the updates. I can't find 2.1 for Vodafone online anywhere. So what do I do if it doesnt go as planned, or I have a hardware fault and I have to send it back? Where can I get the Vodafone Firmware?
Cheers, Sam.

Install Terminal emulator from market,then give following commands
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/stl7 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
Copy factoryfs.rfs from sdcard and keep it safe.
Let's make this story short. I rooted my Vibrant, then I flashed custom ROM (ICS Passion) but after that there is no baseband, IMEI on system info about the phone.Also sim card isn't detectable(no service). My biggest mistake is that I didn't do efs backup.
So now, only solution is to flash to stock ROM (2.1) with ODIN?
I also have problem with my usb port so I'm wondering is there any way for flash to stock ROM without using ODIN?
THanks
I already flash "InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml" from 591.com (I don't remember and found what forum). I really don't know not att phone musn't flash this firmware, then I can't flash any other firmware.
Is there a way to fix that?
PS Sorry about my english.
We need more info: Is your phone AT&T or International (Retail). What did you did? You flashed at&t fw to retail a2? If yes - you're screwed... You should never ever flash AT&T fw to retail 2, because cdt.bin version increases & you cannot downgrade to retail one.
If you done that & have warranty, better is bring to it, they'll couple times try flash retail fw which will fail.. And they will change mainboard. If yours warranty is over, you'll live with that problem... Only temporaly fix is flash kexec based rom (if you aren't kexec reject).

Hi Guys, here is my nightmare and i hope someone might give me key to leave this .
I have my AT&T H950 mailed from States. Looks fine for the first day and the nightmare starts when i tried to root. Plus, i loaded the wrong ROM file of H959 to it and all goes wrong at starts from that time.
1. I tried to use the H950PR rom with LG Flash tool on CSR mode , still ,the baseband show Unknown as well as IMEI
2. And i guese the problem might leaves on H959, so i burn that H959 rom on it again and it " looks " better yet still no signal , no baseband , no IMEI as situation 1
3. I just couldnt make another new way to save my H950 's life . Is it my machine die hard ? :crying:
might be worth trying the .tot method

Do you mean for ATT? Because they haven't been uploading those publicly for LG devices for awhile...
When you crossdld you probably damaged your EFS thats why you get no modem and no baseband. Currently we have no solution for this as we have no custom recovery maybe someone could make an app that could backup efs and modem and just flash it through download or with some root app.
Good luck!
Damaged EFS ... Sigh... so is it possible for someone 's machine have their good condition EFS and flash it to mine machine?
And i managed to get the modem.bin with the kdz extractor and just no way to flash it to the phone.. And thats why u say we need recovery to do that ?

Congraulations to myself finally. i have restore the imei with a try and error method... to me this disaster last for 2 weeks time and give me a goog lesson of rom and android structure as well as some practical usage of ADB . below is the method and i will explain more if any interested of the logic behind. let me know
just go into download mode and using the "send commands" slip in your machine, and type
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk023
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk024
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk025
Code:
LEAVE
and you will go reboot and your long time no see network is coming back ! in my case the imei appears itself and if it 's not your result you may just try key in the imei manually with tools like EFS professional, DFS, QDST ,CDMA workshop ( i tried all of them before the 3 commands and all gimme no help at all >.< )
Done !
Nice one well done!

hi Anedcaso, that's not very hard work actually ^_^
I have missed some steps in my solution .
You dont really need to "" ADB shell "" also "" su "" but only "" DOWNLOAD MODE "" to type in the 3 commands starting with "" dd "" so that your IMEI corrupted partition can be cleaned up and automation of renew of it can be happen.
when you are in DOWNLOAD MODE you should take the"" ports.bat "" so that you can find the exact ports connected USB with your cell phone and your can enter your phone with "" send commands ""
more, your can speak that 3 "" dd "" commands to wake your phone .
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk023
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk024
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk025
hope these can help you and anyone with the same problem out ^_^
Help Pleaseeeeeeee
thanks for answering
I followed all your steps but I still have the IMEI null
I have the H950 version
install the software version H955P
I returned to install the version H950PR
but apparently not install or modem Basedband
not worth the cell
---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------
I get in Software Information
Baseband Version Unknown
Software Version Unknown
yup . the same situation i have that time. ^_^
i just couldnt sit next to you and your cell so i guess you may try like this.
1. factory reset first.
2. burn that H950PR to your cell .
3. developer mode > USB debugging > root it with the root-ed image you can find in this forum. of course the same version to be check and confirmed.
4. till now you have the best situation just imei , baseband all unknown ONLY.
and try my steps posted lately again to see whether it helps or not.
or can you tell me how 's going @ the time you are in download mode , try screen capture some pages for me or our moderators to check out ?
Help Pleaseeeeeeee

Very great progress!
I tried almost all kinds of stuff like CDMA workshop as well as the one you mention octopus box.. Yes, it said it's repairability once you pay yet I see you only have one step behind. May be you haven't root then going into download mode? USB debugging? You mention you hot imei already is it the last step to reborn is burning the h950pr rom to your phone? I have been to your step as well with imei found just no baseband... Try once more!
Help Pleaseeeeeeee
can you give me the steps one by one
what I have to do
I've done everything
please
Help Pleaseeeeeeee
H950PR I do with these steps

How can I restore the original IMEI?
Got a rooted H950PR 5.1.1 device with everything working except IMEI, which has value 0.

He forgot to add a "p" to the commands.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p25
IMEI didn't come back but just as "08" but signal and phone is working again.

i use a program called "phrozen windows" and used the emergeny software recovery option in kies or smart switch to download the current firmware. phrozen windows shows where all active files are being downloaded to so you can grab the files you want. hope this helps. i have the metro pcs galaxy s7. thats how i got my current firmware.
