Johan,

Thanks for the very quick reply! That's bad news about the model number. Is there something you could do with the app to change it? Or perhaps there's some other way I can change it... Hex editor, maybe? Do you know where this model number is stored and how to access it?

If I can find the courage, I might just give your app a try anyway. I absolutely don't want to brick it! It's far too useful to me. I know there are risks & I know you can not offer any guarantees, but how confident are you that I won't end up with a brick?

Thanks again,

Andy

Great app, so many thanks for it. I was able to update to Gingerbread thanks to it, and would had have to wait for months before updating without this great app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sliex:
Hey, nice app.

Thank you a lot, just did my Galaxy S and it worked like a charm.

Now i'd like to do the same to my Galaxy Tab.

Couple of questions:

Will it work on UK version (Phone enabled) and would it be in english if i update it spoofing italian version, as someone mentioned g-bread is out ony in italy ?

Further info:

Bought unbranded/unlocked at currys(uk).

Prod Code: GT-P1000CWACPW

PDA: XWJJ7

Phone: XXJK5

CSC: CPWJJ7

and its rooted.

Should i just do italian update which (according to spooffw presets) would make it

GT-P1000HKDITV

PDA: XXJMG

Phone: XXJMF

CSC: XAJMG

Any advice appreciated.

Screw up IMEI-Spooffw saved my life today

Hello,

I want to share also a "bad" experience and a good experience also. Always i was a addicted phone guy, especially with windows mobile phone, so linux isn't my strong point. And always i was thinking....it wont happen to me...the crash the failed flash etc. But today the **** happen to me, and i never did a backup of EFS. Even i did a lot's of flashing roms from froyo to gb and from gb to froyo, today, the thing that i did more then 10 times, screw me up. I used spooffw to update from froyo to gb trough kies. I have a guy wich work at samsung romania and he told me that a release for romania is coming soon, and i want to get back at stock.

And i was at stock in 5 minutes, but with no imei at all. I read between lines, and saw that the imei cannot be restored, but it can be a fake imei etc. So for several hours i was on imei starting with 00 40 etc. I was thinking to try several methodes and for the first time i was thinking to make a whole backup, and surprise, i found a folder named spooffw with my beloved NV.

So, if anyone wich made a update trough kies and spooffw and after lost the nv bin, take a close look at spooffw_backup folder and there (if you take the normal steps will find the beloved nv bin.

I wrote this to thank the spooffw creators and to give a chance to guys wich make flash and forgot the spooffw back and think that nvbin is lost for ever.

Sorry for the long post.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
@ccupo

My guess is that it's all the questions marks '?' that's causing the backup to fail. What version of BusyBox do you have?

This is caused by a bad flash. After a flash is done the phone sets CSC stuff in recovery. Any error on this part of the flash will cause PCode to not be completed.

Hi,

i just used spooffw, everything went ok, kies shown me an update to JVO, update went also ok, then it shown message upgrade is done, unplug and restart your phone. I turned the phone off and then on again. But everytime the samsung logo pops up, thats all i can get, it stays there and does not boot up. I tried restart (battery remove) several times, but with no success. I tried to get into recovery mode by 3btn, but it did not work, i worked before the upgrade, but not now. I tried download mode and it ok.

I read many threads here, but all i can find is to flash the phone using odin or something, is not there really any other solution?

Thanks in advance

HELP

Hello, wonder if anyone can help me, i have read through most of the thread about spooffw and still cannot get it to work.

I am on samsung i5500 and running Froyo 2.2

I have been trying to change the product key for days and days, without getting anywhere. The phone is a branded vodafone but i am using my o2 card in it and want to change the product code to reflect this. :mad:

When i open spooffw, it says 'trying to find product code' then shows a blue box with the words 'AN ERROR OCCURRED WHEN THE PRODUCT CODE WOULD BE RETRIEVED. THE FOLDER /EFS COULD NOT BE FOUND. PLEASE SEND YOUR LOG' I press ok and it takes me back to the main screen, the backup and reboot buttons cannot be pressed and when i press menu and enter the product code, i cannot press the ok button as this too is greyed out and cannot be pressed. :mad: :(

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
If you dont get recovery mode to work, my guess is that a flash with Odin and repartition is the solution. Byt try to get in recovery mode first and do a factory reset.

Hi,

I'm getting the same error as the guy above.

AN ERROR OCCURRED WHEN THE PRODUCT CODE WOULD BE RETRIEVED. THE FOLDER /EFS COULD NOT BE FOUND. PLEASE SEND YOUR LOG

been searching through the forum and the answer seems to be due to a bad flash or something that screwed up csc.

However, when I use sgs tools to view the product code, it checks nv.data.bin file and it says XEU "active"

So I don't really think that it's due to a bad flash. (I flashed with odin by the way with files from samfirmware)

Currently on 2.3.4 and really keen to use this awesome app!

btw when in spooffw app menu-view product code

returns

[2] pc code not active..

Not sure why it's conflicting? I tried complete re-flash many times but get the same result..

Please help me out.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
If the menu->view product code is saying PC code not active, that is to trust on. This is a utility built in by samsung.

There are 3 cases here.

1. BusyBox do not function properly and cant retrieve the code.

2. Your /efs/nv_data.bin is missing or damaged.

3. You have had a bad flash.

Solutions.

1. Make sure to have Stericsons' Busybox

2. Send the file to me and I'll have a look!

3. Re-flash using re-partition and make sure you flash with a rom containing dbdata.rfs and a complete CSC.

Let me know how it goes!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Hi first of all, Thank you so much for a quick reply.

So I've been spending some time to try to figure this out and here are my results.

I realized that I didn't have Stericson's busybox (had something called androidminimal instead)

so I deleted system/sbin file (this is where the busybux was installed)

and I download stericson's busybox app from the market and successfully installed the latest busybox v1.18.4

Tried spooffw and received the same error.

Thought it would be good to do complete re-flash again so I downloaded the JVR firmware from samfrimwares.com

I checked the csc file and it did containe dbdata.rfs and cashe.rfs

When I flash, I always use pit+repartition checked for a clean install

anyway, I flashed again and rooted with CF-root and then installed Stericson's busybox.

However I got the same error.

I'm really confused what i'm doing wrong?

I've sent two logfiles to you with my id - xmfpdlemalnz

Please ignore first one as it was done when I had multiple busybox installed.

second one is when I only had Stericson's busybox installed.

At this point, all I can suspect is csc file. Maybe I used the wrong one or something.

Here is what I want to try.

I would like to use exact PDA+modem+csc files you have used to flash your phone recently.

I really don't mind using JVP, JVQ or JVR. (I hope you are using one of these firmwares)

Could you please post these files? (I know it's alot to ask. :( ) maybe at least csc?

Or if you have used the one from samfirmware.com, please provide me with a link so I can download these exact files.

In this way I'm sure that csc file has correct data and etc.

Again, I would like to thank you for your time helping me.

Please note, I really appreciate it.

Cheers

Galaxy Tab

Hi, I'm on a Galaxy Tab (DBT) and i have given up waiting for samsung releasing gingerbread in Germany. Want to flash standard NEE with KIES

Root - OK

Busybox - OK (not the latest build though gave error on multiple BB)

SpoofFW - backup gives Err. 2

What does this Error 2 mean and how do i solve it?

It creates a folder not on external SD card but on internal memory (called sdcard by default) SpoofFW_backup with the following content:

build.prop (2.2K)

nv_data.bin (2.00 MB)

anyone solved this?

EDIT:

The bug is solved in the latest version of SpoofFW - is now available in market --> Thanks a lot for this!!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
You need to spoof one firmware release prior the latest. You can test your settings on http://fus.nanzen.se and if you get "No firmware info..." it means you have to provide a newer firmware.

Sounds like SpooFW is not working anymore with the most recent version of Android.

I've a GT-P1000 (GTAP 7" first version) with P1000BOJU3 (GT-P1000CWACRO) updated from the latest German DBT firmware GT-P1000CWADBT always spoofed.Now, when I use SpoofFW to change the product code from CRO to GT-P1000CWAVIA (Germany O2) after the reboot I always get back my old Product Code. I think this is the .nv_data.bak.

Changing manually the product code in nv_data.bin with an hex editor will cause the IMEI to move to the fake one. I can fix everything restoring the old efs folder however any idea on how to fix this issue or what has changed?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LuffarJoh:
The application is done! I just had to make sure that it's completely reverisble before releasing anything. I have now successfully changed from XEN to XEE and back to XEN.

But as you might understand, messing with system files is always dangerous and the possibility for a brick is always present. Hopefully this will not occur :) I'm doing my best to avoid that.

For everyones safety I would recommend doing a manual backup of /system/build.prop and the complete /efs folder including nv_data.bin

The app does this automatically to the internal SDCARD, but just to be on the safe side I would recommend a manual backup to the computer aswell.

There is two steps where a reboot is required between. The app will tell you what to do.

So here it is: SpoofFw - requires ROOT and BusyBox

Direkt market link

If you get problems to connect to Kies after you used this program, try remove the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB"

Please let me now if it works out for you.

Use wipe/factory reset in recovery, if that does not help the you need to re-flash.
