Can anyone post a copy? I tried a few versions I found in the forums but they must be newer versions because my rotate still is hosed.
I also have the odin image. Is there a way to extract a single apk?

I manually upgraded my phone using the instructions on samfirmware.com and it worked fine but I want to downgrade it to 2.1 to get a certain app. I tried doing it using the same instructions and the 2.1 firmware but when I unpack the rar file there is only 1 file in it, the instructions says this is the PDA.tar file and it is the only one that can be flashed but when I open it in Odin it says invalid file type. I can't seem to find instructions anywhere
You didn't quite specify what version of 2.1 you would like to flash to. In my case, when I needed to flash I used the stock odin files found in my device's subforum. You should probably look there for what you may need.
If you have a facinate, here's a free treat:

I have tried to flash to I5500LUYJI1 and I5500BVJJI1 both give me the "Invalid Image Type" error when I try to open the image in Odin. Also there is no subforum for the Samsung Galaxy 5.

Best I could find. If that doesn't help, sorry.
Yea I've been looking through that thread, some people have mentioned downgrading but no guides have been mentioned or anything
Would anyone else know how to do this?

I recently came across the post about how to upgrade my cellular souths samsung galaxy s showcase 2.1 update 1, to 2.2 froyo. but i couldnt find any files to download them, so i went to another site and found instructions and files to do everything with odin. but i failed to realize that i was installing the samsung i9000 files. now my phone will not turn on. it only will allow me to go back to the download mode. which, im sure i can correct my problem with the right files. can anyone please pm me or help me with the right files i need to use in odin to fix my problem. i have the samsung galaxy s schi500 showcase (was using 2.1update1) when i tried updating. From Cellular South, non rooted.Trying to either A. get back to 2.1 or best case scenerio get to 2.2

Hello guys!
I need you help, I've Giorgio Armani Galaxy S I-9010 and I was trying to update the firmware. There was 2.2 on it and I wanted to update to 2.3.5 which is the latest official for Galaxy's.
Anyway; it's my first Android phone, that's why I didn't know how to do that. So I started to play with Odin, Samfirmware etc. As you could easily guess; now my phone is BRICKEd and I can not use that.
Now I need your help and directions. Otherwise I'll have to throw my lovely phone away. I want to restore all the factory firmware and settings back so I installed from samfirmware.com -all the necessary files. I got I9010XXKB2 file which has GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar and I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar. And I also have GA3_add_hidden.pit file.
As I read forums, I need to put I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar and GA3_add_hidden.pit to Odin and it should have worked but always gives errors. I tried different combinations, I installed older version of Odin as well but can not do!
Also Odin has other parts such as PDA-PHONE-CSC etc. In that case, I use PIT and PDA options, not CSC and PHONE. Because I downloadad latest firmware from samsfirmware and there were only 2 files in zip.
Other than that; in that zip file, in that case again, I use I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar and other file; GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar -where do I have to put that?
AS you see, I don't know too much and I need to be directed. Could you please help me about that guys? I 'really' need that! Thanks in advance

Sorry if this is a dumb post

Which version of odin are you using? You don't have a mac do you?
Download the actual firmware for your phone from the official Samsung website. sammobile.com. Don't be downloading stock firmware from file hosts, or dropbox. You need to register for free on the official sammobile.com and then attempt to download your firmware. The firmware is a large file, so make sure to have good WiF/data connection. And yes, make sure you're using the latest version of Odin. Good luck!
Help! Infected Tab2 - Need stock firmware .zip for SPH-P500
This is my first post. I hope that brings me some luck!
I bought two SPH-P500's from Tiger direct when they were on sale, one for me and one for my wife. Unfortunately, hers got infected by something that I have not been able to eliminate via resets or reloads with the standard tools. I have tried Odin and Heimdahl without success. Foolish me rooted the device but did NOT replace the bootloader I can't load anything but a "signed" zip file expected by the stock system. Unfortunately, the infected device is now no longer rooted as my wife reloaded things and blew away the original
I've also tried a number of obscure things like looking at the cache device/partition to see if there was a .zip left there from the last update, but all that was there was a small text file.
What I need is *ANY* legitimate >> signed zip << firmware file for this model device so I can try an adb sideload. I know there aren't many folks using this device, but was hoping maybe someone might take pity on my plight.
Any other suggestions also appreciated!
Just for the record, the malware continuously plays a short tune and refuses to be killed off. It uses up so much of the CPU that one cannot do much of anything...

I'm also looking for any usable rom apart from stock. I have an sph-p500 which is technically the same as sgh-i497 but found no roms at all (apart from the stock rom). any help appreciated. all rom links are broken. I know the device is pretty old but I don't want to shred it.
