[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChmT:
So it cannot be done?

"6.I want to install new firmware but I want to have a backup of my original firmware to go back to in case I need to go back for warranty reasons. Can I backup my original firmware somehow?

As of now, there is no way of backing up firmware entirely. However, there are firmwares out for every region and virtually all regions have received a 2.2 or 2.2.1 upgrade which can be applied through Kies or Odin."
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00ndu:
It is possible, but tedious. How I would do it:

Use Kies patcher 1.7.0.0 to spoof your device back to 2.1.

Assuming spoof is successful, after downloading is completed and begin to flash your phone, click on the Kies patcher where there is an option to let you save the tar file. That tar file will be your backup.

If you want to get back to stock, use odin to flash. For more details, search for the thread on Kies patcher in the forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
That method is the one i use as well as it gives a full rom but it is a long winded way of backing up original .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChmT:
I looked there but there's a lot of firmwares and I can't figure out which firmware is for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
According to the Kies Registry Patcher, 'CRO' is linked to this firmware...

I9000BOJI1/I9000CROJI1/I9000BOJF1/I9000BOJI1

Here is a link to JF1 from SamFirmware.com

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChmT:
Thank you very much. I'm downloading that so it will be my backup in case I need waranty.

Best regars!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opica:
Those are merely product codes for different networks, I too would suggest that you use Kies 1.5 and use Kies registry patcher to spoof product code for CRO/VIP and it should provide latest official firmware for those codes.

Other way is to manually download fw via samfirmware.com and flash it via ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

That is not your network branded firmware .

If you took your phone today to a sprint tech store and got sent home with tail between your legs please read this:

Sense did not disappear from your phone, you have Cyanogen Installed!

Yes I can tell you rooted your phone and no, changing roms is not covered by Sprint

Yes, the lady in front is an idiot and doesn't know what Sense is..

and yes, I am the guy you told to f**k himself...and yes you're phone got DBR'd, sorry :)

We can still be friends here though...
[EVO 4G General] themuffinman:
Wait a minute, what was the initial reason why the person came into the store?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
you couldn't fix the cm phone and send him on his way, instead you did all that. you meany

[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
uh oh, not another "senseless" thread ... ha i crack myself up.
[EVO 4G General] cor4twenty:
Well to be fair I tried to tell him to change roms if he needed sense and got the F bomb right away lol
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
This thread might be more meaningful if you told us what the customer's issues is.
[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
Well changing ROM's would "make sense" .... ok im done ... sorry
[EVO 4G General] cor4twenty:

[EVO 4G General] cor4twenty:

[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
I just subscribed to this, man I hope he posts too. I'm wondering why he could root and flash a non sense ROM but coudnt figure out how to flash a sense ROM. Doesn't make any sense at all.....
[EVO 4G General] cor4twenty:
Yeah I'm really hoping he posts lol maybe his sense got broken when he broke his screen
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:

Nah, that only happens if you post on facebook, lol. :D
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
What's funny is you think I have to pay rent when I already own my home. But to play nice let's also assume that companies try to keep their customers by offering them as much discounts as possible without giving things away for free. What happens then when the customer is still dissatisfied and expects everything for nothing despite the business doing what they could without breaking their end? It's like your employer expecting you to work for free when nobody would. A line has to be drawn somewhere and when it is to the point that the customer expects more than what they rightfully deserve that is when the customer is no longer right.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
I don't want to slow the momentum of this epic thread(seriously, it's entertaining the hell outta me)

But, i just wanted to point out that every time i've gone into a sprint store and been courteous, polite and understanding, i have NEVER been treated badly. the last time i had to go into a store to get the LCD on my evo replaced, the guy even chatted with me about my root method, my ROM and kernel choices etc. we laughed and swapped stories and that was it. he replaced my screen and were both happy.

Point is, whether the customer is right, or the shop is right or whatever, the bottom line is DON'T SCREW PEOPLE AROUND. if you're nice to them, you'll usually have a pleasant experience.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Agreed.

[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
People who don't believe in customer service have usually never worked in customer service.

I almost hate having to go complain about something being broken because I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of it. I had the screen hot spot, took it to the local Sprint store. The guy replaced it just fine. The next day I tried to make a phone call only to realize that my phone speaker no longer worked. I tried to be as polite as possible when I called back to the store (on speaker phone). He said it was working fine because he made a test call when he was done putting it back together. I accepted that, he told me to call sprint and they would get me a new phone. I checked on my online account and ZERO calls had been made that day.

I still didn't really care. I thought about calling back to yell at him or talk to his manager but then I thought about how I would feel in his shoes and I just let it slide.

Needless to say, both of you have acted appallingly in this situation. Granted I still don't believe that the "customer" is really THE customer; he sounds more like a troll.

Dude!! Lol! I hadn't read this post...haha that's awesome!!
[EVO 4G General] Khilbron:
Dude, you just signed up this month, its a brand new account, quit trying to hide the fact that you're the jackass that claims his sense was "stolen".

Lets break this down for you. For the Tech to have replaced your screen, rooted your phone, Backed up all of your data, apps, sms, calls, ect..., downloaded CM7 or whatever version it was, flashed the new rom, *takes a breath*, flashed gapps, booted the phone, restored all of your apps, and restored all of your data. They would have had to have kept your phone for several hours. A standard screen replacement takes 30 minutes (atleast mine did when i cracked it).

Also, Don't try to claim you've had the account for awhile because as the picture clearly shows. You registered just to post in this thread on a new account.

[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Hm... From this thread I've learned this: back up your sense and make sure you have a way to restore your sense before taking your phone in for repair.

I'm sure the OP would agree with what one of my co-workers had to say about working at customer service: The hardest part of the job is keeping a straight face. Naturally, if you've modded your phone it's no longer under warranty, same holds true for almost any device.

[EVO 4G General] caguirr4:
this is the funniest threads ive seen in a while. i wonder what happened to the op. i havent seen any post from him in a while. and in my opinion the op did nothing wrong. if i go into a store or whatever and i am a **** with someone i would only expect them to be a **** right back. the customer got his screen replaced and he should have left it at that. just grabbed the phone and walked out...... and in other news have yall seen the tags for this thread. they are to freaking hilarious!!!
[EVO 4G General] tx_dbs_tx:
Every corporate Sprint store I've been in has at least 4 or 5 employees with rooted and modded HTC EVO's!!! There's a LOT of Sprint employees with voided warranties if your statement is a fact. I doubt very seriously that any sprint employee's phone is going to be voided because he/she rooted and or modded their phone.

Which brings us back to the topic of this thread... ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD TAKE THEIR ROOTED PHONE TO A CORPORATE SPRINT STORE FOR SERVICE WITHOUT FIRST FLASHING S-ON, UNROOTING, AND FLASHING BACK TO STOCK!!! In the case of the F'bombing retard customer the thread is about, he did exactly that!!!

So common sense would tell someone in his situation to be honest and explain to the technician that his phone is rooted with a custom rom but his screen needs repair. I would take my chances going that route before I acted like a damn fool and cursing at the tech! Just tell the damn truth from the get go and you will likely get your phone fixed without all the drama.... which you created (F'bombing customer)!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] tx_dbs_tx:
OP is probably waiting for the dust to settle. LOL! He's behind the service desk fixing phones and waiting for the next moron customer to waltz in with a rooted phone with no sense at all on his phone or in his head!

Hey f'bombing customer go clean your tail, it's beed in between your legs for several days now!!!
[EVO 4G General] caguirr4:
This is true. when I took my phone in for screen replacement i turned s-on and flashed back to stock. I was so nervous the entire time because I couldnt help but think "damn did i forget to do something. are they going to know i was rooted. am i going to get screwed out of the repair." but everything worked out great. the screen was replaced and i came to find out that every employee at the sprint store had a rooted phone. and the guy i was dealing with said its not that big a deal if the phone is rooted and you want a screen replacemant since rooting wont break the screen. but he also did say it would be a good idea to put it back to stock just in case. all it takes is to be courteous to the people that are trying to help. i aint in the customer service industry but i am a mechanic. and if the customer treats me like **** there is a good chance they wont get their car back that day. I know that is a **** move but how can you be a **** and not expect to get dicked. I'm just sayin.

I mean, all you did was fix a screen on a phone you couldn't have known was rooted. And you took insults from him even though you didn't provoke him. You did nothing wrong. Plus, having dealt with Sprint myself, I knew they wouldn't have given a rat's ass. It would take a lot to get someone fired. If anything, you would've gotten a slap on the wrist just to get the asshole to shut up.
