[Q] Question about build number, updates

Hello folks. I have a question about build numbers. I keep reading about FRF91, FRG83, FRG33, etc. builds. How can I find out what build I have. I recently bought a Nexus One in Vietnam, seems to be korean version (it has korean keyboard installed, manual is in korean). When I go to Settings -> About phone, I don't see any FRG, FRF, EPE, or whatever, just a long number. For the sake of completeness, here is what I get:
Android version:
2.2
Baseband version
32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel version
2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d
haleyATm4-dev#1
Build number
2.15.1010.2 CL203557 release-keys
I already rooted and unlocked the phone, installed recovery image Amon_Ra's 1.8.0.1 (suitable for SLCD screen) but now I'm stuck. Don't know what updates would work (2.2.1? which images I need for my build version, etc.)
Please help - I know it may sound like a dumb question, and I tried to google for an answer and search the forum, but everyone's About phone screen seems to show something like FRF91 or somesuch, not the number I get above. Thanks!

The Korean build for FRF91 has a different build number... Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91
So, you have the FRF91 build customized for the Korean N1

Thanks a lot, I was trying to find out for days
So I checked on shipped-roms, and the name for my stock rom is PASSIMG_Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91_release_signed.zip - am I correct? Are there any disadvantages for having this (apart from having an uninstallable korean keyboard)? Do I receive updates more slowly? Do you have any advice for me - my last question(s) I promise Thanks a lot for your help...

Well, yes, PASSIMG_Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91_release_signed.zip is the stock ROM which is on ur phone. Regarding update frequency, it's possible updates may be delayed by KT (Korea Telecom), but I can't say for certain.

Thanks - at least now I know exactly what I have
One more thing that's not clear, I've read conflicting report about this: OTA upgrades through WIFI. Google says sure, it works, but I read a letter received by a user from HTC that said the opposite. Anyway, in case I can update through wifi, who releases the updates? I don't live in Korea, I'm on a Vietnamese network. If Korea Telecom releases an update, how would that reach my phone? It's all so confusing. Forgive me for my questions, I'm new to Android.

[Q] About Froyo Update

1st of all i am new galaxy user. so i am giving you details about my phone
when i tried to update, it said it has already latest version which is
pda jm5 phone jm1 csc jm3 . and it has orange logo on back. i saw on net that uk orange users are getting froyo but still i do not have. now about phone details,
model number gt-i9000
firmware version 2.1 update1
baseband version i9000vbjm1
kerne l version 2.6.29
[email protected] #2
build number eclair.vbjm5
i do not know details of them. my question is, is my firmware official? is my phone is an unlocked version? so that if i can upgrade to official firmware, my set will not locked(like iphone). is my phone rooted? and i live in Bangladesh. so my question is, can i still upgrade through kies in my country(when available)? or i have to do it in manual way? thanks in advance

Still No Froyo

Whoever can help with this I will offer sexual favours to,
I purchased my galaxy s online about 2 months ago. I have a sneaky suspicion that its locked to CarphoneWarehouse but i'm not sure. I have an o2 sim card in but I still cannot upgrade to froyo via kies. A family member has the same phone and got his instore and has just upgraded to froyo and he's with carphonewarehouse on o2. Is there a reason I cannot upgrade mine? I've waited for so long all I want is a bit of Froyo.
Thanks

Also, I tried the kies hack a month ago but it just upgraded me to 2.1 update. I dont know if this unrooted the phone and has made it illegible for the upgrade.

i dunno about the sexual favour so i will try to help u for free. ;-) you can check your version and if it's possible to upgrade it officially by checking the registry or u can bypass all that by just altering the registry and patch a dll.
do you have the latest kies?
is carphonehouse a network or just a seller?(sorry i'm not from england)
if u don't find the topics i will post the links

and please check if u can go into download mode bevor flashing....

i've just re-downloaded kies so i will try that but checking the registry to see if i'm able to upgrade sounds good, how do i do that? Then if these both dont work i'll be happy to change the regirst and download the patch,
Thanks for replying.

Nooooo, I still cant through kies. Useless software.

I have an unbranded, unlocked i9000 on vodaphone in the UK, and I had a similar problem after trying to hack the registry to download the Noric version of 2.2 last month. Instead, I got a 'updated' 2.1, and whever I tried using Kies to upgrade, I get the message 'this device cannot be updated', even after hacking the registry again.
The problem, as explained in this article (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series&oldid=10462), seems to be that my copy of Kies is too new. I suspect you might have the problem. Go to the link and download an older version of Kies (1.5.3.10093_82), then with Kies running and your phone connected to the PC, change the registry values to:
LocalVer: 1.5.3.10103.100
SoftwareRevision: I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3
ProductCode: GT-I9000HKDXEU
HIDSWVER: I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3
Close the registry and check for phone firmware upgrade using Kies. It worked for me.
My phone is now:
Model number: GT I9000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000XXJPP
Kernel Verson: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
Build number: Froyo:XXJPO
The registry values are now:
SoftwareRevision: I9000XXJPO/I9000OXAJPO/I9000XXJPP/I9000XXJPO
ProductCode: GT-I9000HKAXEU
HIDSWVER: I9000XXJPO/I9000OXAJPO/I9000XXJPP/I9000XXJPO
Lastly, can anyone tell me if I've got the stock UK rom, and whether GT-I9000HKAXEU is the UK country code, as I cannot find this product code in the database anywhere.

[Q] Noob Firmware Update

Hello everyone,
I just received my Galaxy I9000, and made sure i can access the Download Mode and the Recovery Mode using the 3 button combos explained in the wiki.
I bought this phone in the united states, as an unlocked phone. Since i live in South America (Ecuador to be exact), i don't have an official version for this market and i'm using this international version I9000.
Checked the Firmware version installed and is the following:
PDA: I9000BUJP7
Phone: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Also checked the unlock status:
Personalization Status
Network Lock: OFF
Network Subset Lock: OFF
SP Lock: OFF
CP Lock: OFF
My phone's firmware is a provider one (Vodafone), looked in samfirmware to check for new firmwares, but i need some advice:
First, since my phone has a provider specific firmware, can i flash my phone with a "generic" samsung firmware?
If so which ones should i choose the European versions or the America/Australia firmwares??
I see in the list for europa versions this one as the last:
I9000XWJS8 ## 512.PIT Version 2.2.1
And for america this one:
I9000BVJJPD ## 512.PIT Version 2.2 2010 December
I was tempted to go for the european version but im just not shure.
Also what about the MODEM/CSC, do i need to flash those too? since those are also customized versions from the provider?
I dont mind loosing all the samsung apps, and the vodaphone ones, as they are pretty useless here.
Any advice on what is the best path to go from here is appreciated.
I bought this phone so i can learn to develop for android but im really new to this world.
Thanks

Search up goots tutorial. I think the CsC version just determines which stock apps get installed when you flash to be honest, I picked xeu because it's Europe generic but I dont think it matters
The froyo I had from goots link had multi CSC and you could pick and choose

You can use latest European version np. Im on it now but im from Europe but was on JPG 1 week ago and its from Asia. CSC is what gives you your APN for data traffic and the keyboard languages included but u can swap that easily using the Romkitchen or u can input your provider data manualy. Modem is your wifi, data network and gps driver you can use any the one from JS8 is very good so is JPG one. With modem its possible that with JQ1 u cant acces the 850mhz band immediatly but there are allreadu solutions to fix that on this forum.
Best advice i can give u is follow this guide:

Thanks for the help, i will go through the goots tutorial as advised also ill read the Perka's link posted.

[Q] International P-1000

Hello,
I picked up a GT-P1000 from a friend who got this in China (GSM version) and I'm a bit confused when I read here on these forums as to which version of this tab I really have. It seems like I have the the "latin" version but this model was bought in China and when factory reset, all text is in Chinese font. I'm in the US btw, California
Back of the phone/tab model reads:
MODELO: GT-P1000N SSN: -P1000NGSMH
FCC ID: A3LGTP1000L
HECHO EN COREA POR SAMSUNG
The About Phone reads:
Model Number
GT-P1000
Firmware
2.2
Baseband Version
T959UVKA5 (Vibrant Modem???)
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build number
FROYO.ZHKA1
Sooo...I'm familiar with rooting, flashing, odining vibrants as I've done this for a few years now. This tab's version just has me baffled and I'm trying to avoid bricking. I've achieved root and it's Stock Froyo right now. Kies doesn't support this device when connected so there's no way I can upgrade to stock GB with that method.
My bootloaders are signed and the only .apk that works (thanks chainfire&rotohammer) is:
SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00.apk <-----------this one works
Bootloaders- Signed
Signed: PBL, SBL_Backup, Kernel
Not signed: SBL
Assessment Can only flash SIGNED firmwares
Ready to patch bootloaders...
SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00-P1000_L_N_LATIN.apk <-------Doesn't work
(Your Device [GT-P1000] is not supported)
Sorry this is a lot to read, but I'm trying to be thorough and show my steps. After I patch this, should I use go through Overcome's guide by:
ODINing
"gt-p1000_mr.pit"
"GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar"
"modem file according to your region" which one do I use? JPZ OR JK3? I still want to be able to make calls on Tmo/Att network
DO I HAVE EURO OR LATIN??? Anyone with a little insight that can point me in the right direction would be very helpful. Thank you again!!!

Hi,
Take a look at this http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG-P1000N-GALAXY-TABLET-US-3G.HTML
Cheers

Thanks for the specs!
Does this mean I have a Latin Version with US 3G support?
Is it safe to say I don't have to Euro/Asia/International version, even though it's default font is Chinese?
How did the T959 Vibrant modem get in there?

I really dont know, mexico uses the p1000L and brasil something else, it seems to be a US AT&T one but i am not sure, it also seems if you have a kernel for your version je can flash p1000 euro version ones, take alook at the dev threads maybe you can find a thread especially for your version. a quick look i found one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
