thanks a million 4 being interested...... I have posted my question there n havent gotten a favourable reply..... Well i will try again 2 update with kies n leave it 4 as long aspossible n if nothing happens, then i guess i will hv 2 do a hard reset n try again...... I really dont want 2 use odin as someone suggested in d forum..... Even though i formatted my sgs, i still see all ,y application icons but cant use a whole lot of them cos their program files arent there..... When i try again and i cant update and i do a factory reset n still cant update..... I will definitely let u know

just decided to show u some of the screen shots of my kies and the screen i get stuck up in

i have finally done a factory reset and am still facing the same problem ................i think its just hard luck.........
well, something funny i thought after a factory reset the phone was gonna go back 2 its original state..........i dont think i remember seeing that superuser icon when i bought the phone...........does that mean am still rooted cos i still see d superuser icon...........maybe i need 2 unroot then if am still rooted?????????? what is the best way to unroot ............am just confused

ouch!!!! your phone rooted?¿?¿?ensure you because if you have the device rooted you can´t update via kies...
i seen your screenshots and the firmware that you have seems the factory WEE OFFICIAL RUU for SGS. seems well for to update it
for to know if you have your device rooted..
1--download TERMINAL EMULATOR
2--put in the terminal emulator (write):
"su" (enter)
then your device may to turn to you a warn of superuser permission and you must to acept... then the blue console shoult return to you "#"
ensure of it please and post
EDITid you buy the telephone new Or you did someone sell it? if you was buy the device new, its imposible that its rooted

Thanks again i think ama try n unroot it but i just hp i can do that d software u r talking about, does it unroot????? So u mean i cant update thru kies if am rooted?

Try using a different computer. I could not get it to work on Vista but my old Xp computer did it with no problems

Thanks again i think ama try n unroot it but i just hp i can do that d software u r talking about, does it unroot????? So u mean i cant update thru kies if am rooted?

maybe it´s the better solution because if you are SURE about you have the factory official rom, unrooted and another security of the device not disabled its strange that don´t obtain permission for to flash

WARNING : ROM Manager

WARNING!!!
Don't use ROM Manager!!!!
It'll brick your phone!!!!
​
Don't even think of installing ROM Manager on your phone. All it's gonna do is brick your phone....
So my advice is, abstain from using ROM Manager until they officially support our phone.
Till then, use the unofficial port of Clockwork Recovery Mod by tj_style.
the complete package is also attached with this post.
DO NOT FLASH IT ON FROYO!!!
If you need any further assistance, please continue the discussion here.

Edit (17-8-12)
It seems like adityam533 has found a method to make ROM manager work on G-Fit.
For further details, go >>>here<<<

yes thanks for the heads up. anyway, ROM manager does recognize and uploads a rom for Galaxy Mini which is not for Fit. The newest Rom Manager can detect the ported CWM recovery so it might be seeing our phone as Galaxy Mini. Installing from it could brick your phone in the process. Last night I did flashed the Touch enabled CWM recovery thru CWM Recovery Mode from the other post and it worked fine.

Yes... I had corrupted my motherboard...last week

But I still can't understand why rom manager can destroy the motherboard.
If this is the truth, any other rooted android program can do such things to destroy your phone.
I don't think the phone factory might do such a design.
It's too dangerous to use this phone!

Well ROM Manager doesn't, flashing the CWM Recovery with it bricks the phone, my theory is that some of the data gets lost, or maybe the ROM Manager just can't write to the RFS partition, or doesn't support it completely, at least the one on our phone, it formats the whole phone, but that's only my stupid theory =)

Yes, I also think that maybe the cwm recovery bricked my phone, maybe some of the data lost, maybe ....
But why odin can't overwrite all of the mistakes?
There must be somthing that odin can't overwrite but rom manager can write.

it cant undo the mistakes because the "ARM11BOOT.img" is corrupted, basicly, you cant even turn on your phone, at all, so that means no download mode

No more network with every usim

Hello guys!
I got a Samsung GT-I5800 for few months but seems I have a big problem from some days actually.
I was using it when I suddenly lost the network coverage. Reboot, factory recovery, tried other carrier usims however it did not start to work again.
It doesn't work nor with automatic and manual network choice nor with enabled and disabled packed data whereas, if I try to send a message or make a call, an error popup appears saying "Data network not available".
I have never performed a root flash or something else so it is always been original factory.
here some info:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband versions I5800XXJP4
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number FROYO.XWJPI
I'm very glad if someone can help me to solve this awful problem given that the device is unusable

Try to add APN(search in the Internet for it) to your phone(Wireless and Network>Mobile networks>APN)

I already know what it is and it is configured (for my Internet plan)...
the real problem is that it cannot take the network signal anymore...there is a blue symbol like a circle with a line instead of normal signal bars

Check your IMEI by *#06#. If it is all zeros then it is corrupted. If it's old one then it is fine
You can try disabling then enabling flight mode. Wiping data or dalvik cache. Good Luck!
PS: Backup your efs folder to PC using Root exlorer. It contains IMEI and must NOT be deleted. Just for safety advice!

thank you so much for the support
anyway the imei was one of the first checks, it's the correct and old one.
what do you mean with wipe data and dalvik cache? isn't it the same of a factory restore? (factory restored lots of time but nothing happens)

Did you tried zerofill? You can easily find by searching this forum.
Also have you tried putting the SIM in other mobiles? Do they work?
BTW, I know that feel bro. I know the feel to live without calling/sms for few days

of course every SIMs work in other mobiles. It isn't a problem about how I feel and so on. It stopped to work and bye bye no more mobile phone just a paperweight...
I had a search about zerofill. is it useful to delete everything, right? I didn't get how flash it and re-flash the original firmware...by kies?

You'll need ODIN for that to flash the ROM. [Make sure you read instructions]
It will wipe all phone data so take backup from Titanium backup first.

It doesn't matter the phone is empty due to several factory restores in order to try to solve the situation
Ok, thank you guy, I'll try to search some instructions. I'll give a feedback here...hoping it s gonna be positive
p.s. I found a zerofill G3.tar on this forum. Is it good for my galaxy GT-I5800?

Yes, It wipes everything in phone memory. All the previous traces. It might solve your problem.
PS: Or Flash any other firmware. It always works.

last 2 questions
so, zerofill to erase EVERYthing and the I have to download my original ROM to flash it?
the zerofill tar contains 3 files .rfs: cache, datafs and factoryfs. Do i have to flash these by odin? sorry guy but i don't find any tutorial about odin and zerofill

It looks you have never flashed a ROM in ODIN. In that case I would say forget zerofill and just flash a firmware you want. Because you'll need to flash a ROM after flashing zerofill too. I recommend Custom ROM as it is fast and more features, it will void your warranty though. But you can always flash stock ROM to get your warranty back.
If you want to go Stock, then you can find stock ROM at samfirmware.com. Download anyone from there. Post here when you finish downloading. I'll post the instructions.
