You should go to samfirmware.com and select an appropriate firmware for your phone if compatible (check ur version by dialing *#1234#). If it says I9000M****** then your phone is not compatible with the firmwares on the site. By the way I am not responsible for any damage to your phone if you try to flash it with the wrong firmware. Just saying :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevieboy2k Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) when i type in *#1234# i get PDA:I9000BojG3 PHONE:I9000BoJF1 CSG: I9000GTMUJG1 So if i download the firmware is it easy to flash? but something else when i try and make a call i get "Not Registered on network" any ideas what this means?? by the way thanks for the quick reply :P Edited May 28, 2011 by stevieboy2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hecatae Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 it's been reported lost stolen, and is blacklisted to not work in the uk. Doesnt matter what you flash to the device, it wont work in the uk. It's as good as a chocolate teapot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Speckles Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Samsung could give it a new identity, you could send it to them, but it's pretty useless to you unless you have the same remanufacturing tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could i contact samsung? as the thing is i work for a lost property dept and the phone was handed in and not collected after 3 months so the company lets up keep what we get , im not sure on the legal implications on who now owns the phone . Ive been told that i could sell it on Ebay as long as its not used in Europe it will work Any advise would be appreciated :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
