Updating through Kies is a piece of cake if there is an update available. I don't know what the stock ROM was in UK but I guess early phones shipped with XXJF3. For everything else, read the FAQ!
Hi, xxjf3 was the veraion i had, is therw anywhere i can download from as foe kies the reason i updated manually using odin was thwre was an update through kies but it would not allow me to update, if someonw could provide a guide to rom update alk the differwnt ways would help.

I see you can't see my signature when using your phone...
Check the FAQ sticky when you get to a PC. You can't do it on the go anyways:

The only official tool for updating is Kies. However if you want to load arbitrary firmware you can use Odin (which is a leaked Samsung tool) or Heimdall (a custom flashing tool developed by myself) once it's been tested that is, it's in a public alpha at the moment.

im sorry im late to the party but i was wondering if anyone else was experiencing any trouble with trying to upgrade to 2.2 and saying the server to get the firmware was unavailable. i am running the stock rom on the phone. thanks.
The update to stock 2.2 is via Kies mini, not OTA. Search here or go to Samsung's site for the drivers and Kies mini.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
hey thanks for the relpy i had already downloaded that that was where it told me the firmware was unavailable
Oh, sorry. I though you were trying to get the update by checking software update from the phone.
So, Kies recognizes your phone, but tells you there are no updates? What version of Kies are you using?

I need HELP....
I updated my android ROM from 2.2 to 2.3.2 without doing my home work in investigating what should be checked before the flashing and now my Galaxy Tab 7'' is working with in the new version but giving error messages in the com.android.phone and I don't remember the original version of my firmware to get it back.
Pleas help!
Note: I am in Egypt and my old version used to support Arabic and my operator is Vodafone.
Can you put up what works and what doesn't with this rom? Also I would like some screen shots before I flash this. Thanks in advance!

Anyway sorry I can't help you with type problem only thing I would do is reflash the rom you just flashed maybe a clean install will stop your error

Thanks Howard for your reply,
I am trying to do that but the problem is that i knew that there are ROM versions for regions and Operators so I can't just get any ROM and flash it and I strongly believe that I flashed an European ROM.
So what I am trying to figure out now, how can I know the right version!

If the update came from OTA then you may have to investigate what the old bootloader was, flash it using odin and let the update happen again. There is a thread here that is about an Arabic tab, so do a search for that and there should be some instructions on flashing. I'm going to do the same and report back shortly.

Thanks alot for your help, i am downloading this ROM now and hope it will work
I tried the ROM you sent but it failed to install and now the Tab fail to open keeps giving me the screen of connection between the Tab and the computer and an exclamation mark between them..... did I break my tab?
Well i managed to install an older ROM 2.2 on my G Tab but i still want to install a newer version but this time i guess i will do further investigations before flashing my tab

Sorry I've been busy and I forget to subscribe to threads sometimes. Now that you have of back to stock and error free you can try for an official update. I am.assuomng you use KIES? If its available that's how you should get it. Homework is the way to go. Sorry I can't help you further.

If still you're facing problems with this ROM, you can go for OVERCOME - Jupiter version. It's 2.3.3 and provide full support for Arabic.

Please provide more details so that we can help.
1. Why can't kies determine your firmware version? Try *#1234# on the dialer-what is the output?
2. There is no official firmware for manual updating. Only kies can provide "official" updates. The ones made available thru samfirmware or even the ones from here are not guaranteed to work. So just in case you upgrade manually and your tab gets bricked you cannot go to samsung and claim warranty.

OK. Hi again. I was looking at the files for the rooted .tar available for Sprint in the us amd the files are there for Arabic language which leads me to assume most of the roms might have it. I'll look into this more tonight but what I need you to do is provide a catlog that shows the fc. Apps for it are available on the market. Attach the text file with your response. Happy day.

I roooted my galaxy s some months ago to apply the one click lag fix (Super One Click, v1.6 i think, tho not sure about the version number).
I have since removed the lag-fix and unrooted. The whole process completed without any problems. However, when i tried to update to Gingerbread, it tells me my software version cannot be updated.
When i checked the software details on the phone it has the Kernal as 2.6.32.9 [email protected]8#1
Im pretty sure this still identifies the phone as being rooted.
I tried rooting and unrooting again (this time using v1.9), as before the whole process completed as it should, but nothing has changed on the phone.
I understand that if I flashed the firmware, it would remove the rooting, but would prefer to avoid this route if possible.
The phone is running stock froyo - PDA:JP7 / PHONE: JP3 / CSC: JP5 (TMU)
Any advice on this would be appreciated

Actually the bolded line doesn't indicate whether you're rooted or not. Once you have flash a stock rom via Odin, you're good to go without any root access.
Sorry if I'm being a bit dim... but what holder line?
I'm pretty certain the phone is no longer rooted, but as long as it still has this root kernel on it Kies won't allow it to update.

sorry and i know that there are many topic related about this but im just a noob on android flashing.
my phone is:
Samsung Galaxy S [I think its international]
No update through WIFI
GT-I9000
Eclair 2.1
Baseband:I9000XXJM1
KERNEL:2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build:ECLAIR.XFJM1
NOT ROOTED
is it possible to flash by phone recovery mode with the firmware/data in the SD card?
if not are there other ways to flash by phone and not by ODIN or KIES
KIES = my phone does not show up in kies (endless connecting status) when i try to connect it via kies.but its ok on the other settings.
please direct me to possible update ways and instruction or files that i need..
i prefer the stock version than moded ones..
