Question about going back to stock - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hi i just got a question so im getting ready to cancel my tmobile contract i did hemidall one click stock did i also had to check bootloaders and do again or no?

Is your phone working? If yes your bootloaders are fine and go return it.

I would use kies if you are going to return it... that makes it 100% stock... no questions asked...

Raver made a 100% Stock GB ROM. If you use Kies mini you will need to flash back to Pure Stock Froyo then do the upgrade.

I believe the sgs4g is still being sold with 2.2; therefore, it would be in his best interest to flash back to froyo and not do the update. Otherwise, Tmo might not take the phone back...

I am pretty sure it's ok to send the phone back with the updated ROM provided by T-Mobile and Samsung.

I wouldn't be too sure of that... Encountered a similar issue with my old blackberry. I updated it to 6.0 (supposedly bb's reply to android) but I found it had a battery issue. So I took it back to get a different phone (sgs4g) after having the bb for 3 days, and they wouldn't take it back. I had to downgrade it back to 5.2 in order for them to acept it... Has to be in the EXACT same condition as when you bought it per the Tmo agreement...

We have some people on here that sell phones... I bet they let us know.

Actually my phone came with 2.3.6 from a tmobile seller/friend i saw him cut open the seal to show phone, its quite funny he gets tons of customers but nothing is in his store like phone display and such just a desk or two.

I think that's more of a personal decision. I know you can use FBs carrier unlocker script to unlock it for use with other carriers if you like the phone.
Also, please add [SOLVED] to the title of this thread.

Huge thanks for posting this thread. Capped data was my only gripe with my current at&t plan. Thanks to you pointing this out I went to the atrix thread, met up with a fellow xda member and borrowed his iphone and now I have unlimited data. All within a few hours of finding out.
Careful, I clicked on that link and my virus scanner went off. Wiped out my PC as no exe files will run.

I can't tell if your joking. My head just exploded trying to figure it out.
I'm not joking. I clicked on it to read about it, and Avg went off. I quarantined the virus and now when I try to run an exe file my computer asks me what program to use to open it. I'm about an hour in trying to figure it out. I wasn't running anything else except for my browser window when it happened.

That sounds like a lot of work. I was talking to an AT&T rep the other day about how I could get my unlimited data plan back, he said,
"Call customer service, explain to them how you had the unlimited plan before & since switching to the 2GB plan it just isn't working out. When they tell you it can't be done tell them you'll have to cancel & go with another carrier. Just TRY it. That's all I'm gonna say."
So I'm going to give that a shot, hopefully they don't give me to much trouble.
I hope this works for me

If you had unlimited before you can have success with calling but if not the iPhone trick takes an hour of your time and works without fail.

I understand your point of view but not everyone had an unlimited data plan to begin with. I personally didn't and bought the captivate in September so I wasn't given the option. I tried calling back in Oct/Nov to try to talk a representative into giving me the unlimited plan but had no success. Another thing to consider is you may not be given back the plan no matter how much you complain/threaten to move to verizon. This is something that is known to work for the time being so I don't see why it's a big deal.
I had an unlimited plan before I got my Captivate and they told me I had to switch to the 2 gig plan because my previous one wouldn't work with smart phones. So my question is, did I get screwed and if so is it possible to call customer service and switch back.

Ebayer selling g2x claiming it has official gingerbread update from tmobile

Hey guys im new to the forums and i came across something interesting just thought i would share it with you guys...there is a guy selling a g2x on ebay right now claiming he has the official gingerbread update on his g2x and he said it hasnt been hacked and that its the actaul update...i cant post the link cuz im new but just wanted to see what you guys thought..if u type in lg g2x on ebay and scroll down his item display picture is a pic of the phone showing 2.3.3 under phone info...and is there anyway he would be able to leak that to us...i messaged him already and told him i was interested in the phone and i want to know where he got the update...when he got it..and can he please leak it to a developer..im a noob so i dont no if he still can leak it...anyways what do u guys think
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
There's an old gingerbread leak already, but it wasn't completed at the time. He probably just flashed that version, not the official finished rom we're all waiting for.
Ya could be but in his description he really makes it out to be the real thing..he said everyone in the world is waiting for this update and then went on to say its not some hacked gingerbread its the real deal and its awesome..ill let u know what he writes back if he does..but i dunno could be wat u said...just have high hopes brotha..if it were real would he be able to leak it..

My baseband shows the same as his, I'm running Fauxs aosp. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the baseband "should" be updated when the new/official GB hits. Yes? No?
I call shenanigans on this one.

Baseband doesn't necessarily have to be different. It's just for the cellular radio, has nothing really to do with an OS upgrade

yeah really......
scam. The pics of the phone itself are from in a store and the screen shot is no big deal. Hell, mine says 2.3.4. It doesn't matter anyways. The CM nightlies are running damn strong now and with the faux kernals, you will be building something way better than the stock GB anyways. Once the Gb update comes out, CM and the other devs will be ripping into it anyways. Just give it 2-3 days after the update comes out and you will have a better package than the stock GB.

[Q] Has Gtg stopped his work?

Just asking... please don't flame
Loved Gtg's work but noticed he has taken down all his ROMs because of some Network Issues in his latest ROM. He said a couple of days but it's been 6 days now I guess.
As such there is hardly anyone working on Infuse... and that is so sad . Now even if Gtg stops working on it, I might as well get rid of this phone!!
So anyone knows if Gtg is coming back? Or is the Infuse is dead even before it properly took off here
He hasn't left, to my knowledge. He's working on a couple of things right now. He'll be back in full force in the near future.
Development for the Infuse is by no means dead. LunuxBozo is currently working on bringing CM7 to the Infuse and has made what I consider tremendous progress.
What I thought was, I'd become one of those deaf-mutes; or should I?
I would love to flame but since you asked nicely.. What do you mean he has removed his ROMs? Infused is still up and hasn't really had any major problems...
I meant the GB ROMs. Froyo were great and I have no problems with his GB latest ROMs as well, but I am no one to comment on Network data rate issues that others are having as I never get that high data rates in my area anyway
Not blaming Gtg at all.. he is awesome, but just curious to know if Infuse support will ever reach something like that for GalaxyS. Just love this phone ...
With the GB update looming, it may be fair to say that infused, as it sits, may be dead. Why continue development on the Rogers base when he can scratch it and wait for easy street with ATT update?

Froyo Infused was never pulled, it's still there.
As to gtg - I'm assuming he'll be back. He's probably burned out (I don't blame him) and needs a break. I would too. Since Rogers dropped GB we've been spending a liiiitle too much time at our keyboards...
Just hold on. Things will come eventually

i feel few people own infuse that's why we have so few custom roms whereas htc models and samsung galaxy are owned by way too many people and due to their popularity more devs came up with their edition.
as far as gtg is concerned froyo links are there and one link of infused is still there if one goes through infused rom.
i am just waiting for att gb update and then hope that we will have more custom roms and new version by our gtg

Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though
Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.
Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.
Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

That does make sense.Thanks for stating the obvious
My original cable got hosed (dropped it in a parking lot...D'oh!) and I bought a new T-Mobile branded one from the T-Mobile store. Was $14 or so, which I felt was robbery, but it works like a champ. I've had no problems flashing ROMs or anything with it.
I just looked the cord over man Im dumb and feel really stupid right now lol Its a LG cord.They say when you hit 40 ya go blind
Honestly, one wouldn't think the brand would matter. And no 40 jokes...hittin' 41 tomorrow

Oh just figured it was for just LG phones. It doesnt feel like it connects to the phone to snug either.

[Q] Flashed Wrong Rom

Well I accidentally flashed a GS3 rom on my skyrocket and I'm pretty sure its bricked. The phone stays black and doesn't appear to power on at all. I am unable to get into recovery or download mode to flash in odin. The flash was a clean install and I had formatted both my emmc and usb mounts.
My question is should I bother taking it in to att or will they know that I've had it rooted? Or should I just bite the bullet and send it in for a jtag and pay around $70?
If it won't power on it could be any number of things from AT&T's perspective. It's worth a shot to see what they say.

warranty it, just play stupid and say it wont turn on and you dont know why, and dont mention anything about flashing a rom
Definitely a hard brick. I'd take it to AT&T first, tell them you were in the middle of the firmware update (act dumb) and the phone just turned off and wouldn't turn back on. I've heard stories (see edit below) of AT&T-owned stores calling corporate for guidance as AT&T's update was implicated, then just pulling out a new phone and handing it over well after the 14/30 days are up. More likely, they'll refer you to Sammy to have it warrantied out. Nothing to lose by trying at least the AT&T store first, as a one-day turnaround and free replacement is a better deal than waiting for Sammy to do their thing and send you a refurb, or spending the money on JTAG.
Edit: Stories. That's it. Haven't seen it happen. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks everyone. I'll head to att tomorrow and give it a shot. Will report back with outcome.
Take it to att if its still under warranty and play dumb. If it won't turn on they won't know its rooted or other ROMs have been put on. I'm sending this from a phone that was replaced under the same circumstances you're in:thumbup:

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I am out of warranty. I've had the phone for almomst a year now.
If it's under a year you're OK. Mine had a month to go. Got a 90 day warranty on the new phoneso got a two month extended warranty with the new phone

Nice! Out of curiosity, what did you say? Turned off and won't turn back on? You can answer via PM if you think they might see or anything.
That's it. They tried to turn it on, called a tech guy, still couldn't get download mode and that was it. Just don't talk and use short answers to the questions. Take the sd card out, of course. They send a refurb'd phone, less the back and battery. You then send the old phone back in a prepaid envelope that comes with the re furb. Pretty painless

Even if it is out of warranty?

It has to be within warranty period.

Exactly. I told them it froze up during the official update and wouldn't turn back on. Just played stupid. The funny thing is that I accidentally left my sd card in it and I know that I had a folder on there named "rom_flashing" lol. I got very nervous when they saw the sd card, swapped it in the new phone and booted it up. I told them I was in a hurry and took the phone then bounced out. :good:
