How do I back up my firmware?

Firstly, I'm assuming baseband means firmware, aka what the "phone" entry says when I type *#1234# .

Base band is i9000xxjpp, is there a downloadable stock for it? Also, where can I/ did you find it?

Even I would like to know this, as some users have done this, so there must be some app which takes the backup of fw in flashable format using odin.

most stock firmwares can be found at www.samfirmware.com
or you can have a look under general for firmwares too ! its a sticky on the first page.

if you want to back up your firmware you can either download it from the above, and make a backup with TB for all yours apps n data.

or you can flash a kernel, such as voodoo, speedmod, damianGTO ............. and make a nandroid backup from the recovery menu

Please no abbreviations, lol. What's tb and fw?don't leave me to interpret them as tuberculosis and fisting whales, or something.

If I were you I would spend more time actually reading the various topics in this forum before you go backing things up if you don't know what the abbreviations are.

I try, but i don't know what relates to my phone and what doesn't - many people just reference it and if i don't know what it is i won't usually search it as i don't think it pertains to me.


samfirmware.com - the closest to my i9000xxjpp are these - which should i choose?



thanks.

well JPP is android 2.2

JPU and above is 2.2.1, so if you want something that is almost identical to what you have now, i would suggest a 2.2 ROM.

not that it makes any difference, you could send your phone off for repair with a 2.2.1 ROM even if it came with 2.2 only. you just have to say you updated thru KIES if anyone asks. not that they will

so basically if i flashed my phone with any JPP it would work just as well as it is now?

If you flash clockworkmod recovery you can backup and restore your firmware using that. Darkyy also wrote a guide to creating an exact copy of your ROM you can flash through Odin.
