Thanks lumin30
Both of you, bug Mobilicity for a stock image to restore your phone. lol. Wind won't give me one but maybe Mobilicity will.
I can get it to about 90% stock right now and I'm sure I'll get it almost there. The problem is this. To dump the stock phone, we need it rooted to gain access but the only way to get root on 2.3.6 with the latest patches, is to flash a rooted kernel, which is great but then prevents us from dumping the stock kernel. It's a catch 22. Need a hacked kernel to dump the kernel but flashing the hacked kernel erases the stock kernel. lol.
The package linked by lumin30 will get you rooted, and all the options from there are explained.
tnx

Hi,
I will check with mobilicity and see what i can do to get the files from there. I really doubt if they would do it for us.
Meanwhile i am trying to get the files from someone who has a official unlocked phone purchased which is carrier free.
He hasn't tampered with it yet.
let me see what he can do for us.
Thanks

HI all,
I am new to this forum.
i got factory unlocked samsung galaxy s2 hd lte i757m with android v4.1.1 from canada.
I am using this cell in INDIA.
I am experiencing some freeze and sometimes restarts almost daily in my first week of usage.
battery drains fast with just 1hour of wifi usage.
Also cell phone heatsup while charging
Samsung support says officialy jellybean is not been released to hd lte yet , so u might be facing the problem.
Guys does anyone has faced same issues?? please help
There is no official JB for the i757m yet - Samsung are right. The issues definitely sound ROM related, I would recommend rolling back to ICS as it's very stable for me, with good battery life. Also worth noting - your phone will always heat up while charging
Here is a thread relating to installing CWM on the i757m. Ignore that, under the 'Download' section (expand the hide tag) there's a Dev.host link to some files. Go into the Bell SGS2 HD LTE folder, grab Odin3_1.85.zip and in the Factory Images folder, grab 'Unzip Me Stock ICS'. Don't forget to click 'thanks' for dsixda in his thread.
Once you have both those files down, unzip the ROM to get a tar.md5 image, and use ODIN to flash. There are many ODIN tutorials on this site, I suggest reading a couple BEFORE doing anything, as this has the potential to brick your phone completely.
If you need further help after reading, I will be here. I have this phone, and have done this a few times
Good luck!
Justin

That's no problems, we don't actually use Kies to do anything, plus we are downloading the ROM ourselves. I have done the same thing from Australia, so I don't think that India should be a worry
If you follow that link above, and grab the two files that I mentioned, that's the first step. Once you have them on your computer, I'll send you some USB drivers, and then help you with the next steps to get it working

Any idea when would be Jelly bean released for SGH-i757M?
Hey guys, have a generic CDMA sch-r760 and m looking for a custom kernel that includes cwm. I'm trying to get a recovery installed on this device in order to flash custom ROMs. Could really use the help because I know these phones don't get tackled much. I'm doing this for my cousin because I rooted his phone in high hopes I could upgrade him to jellybean like I did with a Samsung captivate last night. Any help?

Yea, that is still a dead thread. Well, dead due to the fact that everyone is talking to themselves and development is occurring.
Hi all and TIA for any help.
I might need to have best buy fix/warranty my phone but they wont touch it since its rooted.

Wow. You didn't search very hard for an answer did you? The thread you need is pinned at the top of this very Q & A section in which you posted this thread.
Hey guys, I messed up, I have an LG P500 with Koodo, but was unlocked since I'm with Rogers, when I used a rom to get 4.1.1 it relocked it and didn't take my SIM, now I'm just in need of a Stock Rom beyond belief. Please help asap need my phone to actually work!
If you need to download the original firmware of your device, please check here the The_ERROR thread wich explains it very well.
Otherwise you can also use this application (it worked for me).

My rooted phone will not let me into my playstore, i think this could be do to rooting and then doing the android update, or maybe the freedom app i downloaded at one time. It also says I lost root. Anyways I was stupid and thought I new what I was doing and think I may have really screwed up my phone. Will flashing stock firmware fix this? think i have looked through the threads already and I think I have a good handle on this whole flashing stock firmware. My question is if I give you guys my build number/ phone info can you tell me what exact firmware I need to revert to stock? Build# VRUFNK4 for a SCHi545 samsung galaxy S4 G. Let me know please. Thanks!

The best way to flash back to stock is using Heimdall one-click. Complete instructions are available at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716
