Just got a brand new unbranded SGS, in the UK. In about is shows build number as JM1. How do I know if this is the 'new' JM1 or the old one?
Thanks.
The Phones shouldn't ship with untested firmware, and the JM1 which was leaked is thought to be pre-release.
So, if your phone was in a sealed box on purchase, Samsung would have only put the final on there... But try to update it in Kies, if there are no updates, you have the latest version for your carrier
yea this will be the latest version, its the version i wish i could get back on my device, but after a major crash i had to flash whatever i could find, and its a mix of XWJM1 build and baseband XXJG6
kies says this firmware 'cannot' be upgraded, not that its the latest firmware, im lost as to what to do

im currently on firmware XWJM3, and was wondering s this is the latest 2.1 firmware. my Kies says so, but somehow i dont believe it
It will be the latest non-test stable firmware for your exact phone based on the product code on your phone.
You can change the product code with a registry hack
If it makes you feel any better I'm on JF3 still as it is the latest firmware without changing any product codes
JM8 is latest EURO, But theres a newer one which I can't remember as its so new. Check on dev thread. All I remember is that its a branded T-Mobile.

Correct a newer firmware has been leaked but it's a T-Mobile firmware.
I9000BOJI1 - Multi CSC(s) Europe
Also you will need to use ODIN to upload it, might not work for some people as they dont have 3 button download mode. Good luck
Hi everyone i have a unlocked uk i9000 i was wondering what firmware version i need to be on to get the new official froyo rom through kies ive just flashed too jm1 with baseband jg6. plugged my phone into kies but there is no update available, is it because its not available yet or because im on the wrong firmware is this one official.
Hi,
Last week, I bought an unbranded Galaxy S on a well known French Site. The phone was unbranded.
I installed the Kies software, and when I plugged my phone Kies told me I could update the firmware. I updated the firmware, and when I restarted the phone, it was not in french anymore, but the language was set to portugese, and my phone was branded for the TMN operator in Portugal.
I'm still able to use my phone with my sim card from belgium, but my phone is full with undesired logos and apps.
I've seen that it's possible to reflash an offficial ROM in the phone, but my version of Kies won't let me do this anymore.
I'd like to update to the latest unbranded French/belgian/The nertherlands version.
Is this still possible? I've found some ProductCode, but I was unable to find a corresponding HIDSWVER.
Thanks!

Hmmm... Sonuds to me like whoever you bought it from had flashed it so that it wiuld seem like it was unbranded but in reality it was a TMN device all along.
I believe that if you have upgraded your kies version to the _100 version then the registry trick will no longer work so you would have to flash it with odin.
If anyone else can chime in or if im wrong then please correct me.

I doubt someone flashed it as i had an original brand new unopened box. It was certainly not second hand.

Well its awfully odd that after flashing to the official froyo firmware on kies that it would just all of a sudden become branded.
Think about this... People use odin and even rhe reghack on kies to upgrade to "unbranded" firmware so it would only make sense that if you flashed using kies official firmware that it would revert the device to its original and branded status.

Unfortunately, that is possible We got many such a reports about phones bought in Polish markets, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8927826&postcount=92
Is Poland some phones were debranded and re-selled by mobile operators to markets. Unfortunately phones didn't get clean ProductCode and that way Kies updated firmware using version for original mobile network operator.
What about downgrading Kies and then doing the reg hack to reflect an unbranded earlier version of the firmware for your region and flashing through Kies again??
Same happened to me, bought the international version at handtec.co.uk, got the phone shipped to Mexico, and first upgrade I did on KIES installed a TMN branded firmware.
I didn't like the branded firmware, specially with all that SAPO apps, I rooted phone, installed titanium backup and deleted all apps, now only problem I have is a dancing "t" character showing on startup and shutdown.
Haven't found the reason for this, or the way to change to a unbranded UK firmware.

This should work. Check the codes for your country either that or reflash it with odin

The solution is written almost in every thread on this forum in last 4-5 days:
You have to downgrade to the older version of Kies, then make changes in the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"=""
"DEVCONINFO"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]
"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"
Then you should be offered to upgrade to unbranded JPO for UK
You would need to flash back to your original vodafone software, as that is what kies is looking for.
I got the text from Vodafone this morning but Kies says
"Current Version: PDA: JM1/PHONE:JG6/CSC:JG7
This device's version cannot be updated"
Could this have something to do with the fact that I originally updated to the Nordic Froyo in September via a registry hack and then went back to JM1 via Odin flashing?
I was hoping I could return to branded official Vodafone Firmware incase I need to return under warranty.
i have same problem, was instal froyo from here now have I9000XXJP2 and can update to official froyo pleas help
On the suggestion of somebody in a different thread I reflashed to JM1 firmware and now the error message is
"Current Version: PDA: JM1/PHONE:JM1/CSC:JM1
This device's version cannot be updated"
Anyone got any ideas?

I have actually done this now, but I was hoping to return to Vodafone branded firmware in case I need to return under warranty.

i'm sure someone on here will get there hands on it eventually and publish a link.
You need to an older version of kies and search on here for the kies registry patcher. Check out the vodafone eforum for a how to.

Hello there, my phone is an European factory unlocked, unrooted that i have upgraded to I9000XXJVK some weeks ago.
I'd like to know if it's possible to downgrade back to an official 2.2.1 so i can start again updating from Kies. I'd also like to know which Android ROM is official because there seems to be plenty of them.
All Android roms are official use the latest one for your phone .
All Android roms are stock Samsung roms not the branded rom that came with your phone .So no upgrade from Kies as Kies only reads branded phones id .

#How to use the search button and read the post downgrading 2.2 to 2.2
Kies upgrade fom 2.2 will require spoofing fw .

What do you mean with branded? I bought my phone from Samsung and not from an Operator
In which case downgrade current firmware to one below the latest one for your phone on Kies . Then try Kies if it fails its due to your Product Code changing with the JVK flash . You may need to use spoof fw to change product code .

Branded as in Kies upgrades network branded phones by a matching product code if you have changed firmware via Odin codes may be incorrect .

Hi there
I actually did this today (as I want to await the official release on Kies).
Best bet is to use Odin to get to JPU: http://hotfile.com/dl/99955459/dea6962/I9000XXJPU.rar.html (this is a 3 file ROM - I used repartition).
Then use Odin to get to JPY (the latest official UK release): http://hotfile.com/dl/100618077/49a97b4/I9000XXJPY.rar.html (this is a single file - no repartition).
This got me back to 2.2.1 so I can continue to use Kies for future releases. You might also want to check your CSC is correct using *#272*YourIMEI#
Hope this helps.
James
In order to get back to 2.2.1 you have to Spoof a old 2.2.1 or a 2.1 firmware. To get Europe 2.2.1 you can spoof
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDXEU
PDA: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000OXAJF3
Phone:I9000XXJF3
This will make Kies give you
