Can i get DDJPA Indian GB stock kernel?

Dear friends
I have Rooted my Indian GSM Tab [P-1000] having DDJPA Gingerbread with CF-Root and now i want DDJPA Indian GB stock kernel.[Why? Because i have read in some threads that this rooting kernel is an unstable one and i have to reflash stock kernel after rooting so that the system will be still rooted but be stable as it is original.]
So can any of you upload that DDJPA Indian GB stock kernel and give me download link?
Thanx in advance.
I don't think there is any difference in indian or italian gb versions. And you can look into development tab for kernels.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
First use the search to find DDJPA firmware
you can get it here ---> http://www.multiupload.com/E3Y46J67TD
Help me Devs!!! Hex idea got me bricked
Please Devs help me.
I flashed the kernel uploaded by hex in the above post and my tab is bricked.
Now i am getting a phone and computer picture with a triangle between them.
My details:
DDJPA indian Gingerbread rooted with chainfire kernel.now bricked when i tried to flash with DDJPA kernel.
Thanx.
Dude dont accuse me
the rom is available and taken directly from samsung's site
my phone too runs it perfectly DDJPA+CF root
i havent had problems from it
can you elaborate on what you did and r now observing so that we can fix it
btw did you use odin or heimdall????
No offence intended
Hi Hex
I am not blaming you.
Update1: Uesd this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590advice and got my Tab alive[My god!!Now i know what is the meaning of Anxiety].
Update 2: If u have rooted ur device with Chainfire kernel do not flash with any other kernel[Devs please! Prove me wrong]
Update3: The above kernel uploaded by Hex might not be extracted in the proper manner.Kernel extraction is a really complicated process and you can not use the zImage you get from the firmware TAR as such.[Please Hex, no offence intended]Please delete it before anybody else bricks his device.
Thanx Kosh! Ur posts r really helpful to our community.
Is the kernal the base software sort of thing? I have a sprint (usa) galaxy tab and I want mine to be like the UK tabs would I just need the EURO kernal?
Would this have the UK language pack?
Thanks

Official 2.3.6 for India is out for GT-S5830i

The Galaxy Ace (model number S5830I) is reportedly getting the Android 2.3.6 update, as Samsung has finally set a few balls in motion to update its older devices. As reported by Android OS, the update for the Ace is available for download via Samsung’s dedicated software, Kies. Here is the update version for the Ace S5830I: S5830IXXLA2/S5830IODDLA1. Like all other updates, this one will be distributed to Samsung Ace customers in batches, so you’ll have to be a little patient, if you still haven't received the update for your phone.

Anyone tried ??
are galaxy ace S5830 and galaxy ace S5830I same? cant understand i m from india
sammobile already made announcement that this is not generic version so do not try to flash it as it may brick phone..
they sade 5830i has some different chipset.... so better wait for some time
official update in india are ddkqX so this was what i asked sammobile on twitter and they replied and announced that do not flash this....
all of google news shows galaxy ace getting update but its not
I wondered the same, but I suppose it works for both the phones. I read it on another thread in this forum. People have tried it. I am on 2.3.7 (CM 7.2) so not quite eager to try it out yet.
the one who is saying that he is on 2.3.6.. not this rom specifically and why to talk more as sammobile officially said that this won't work on 5830
i moved away from indian roms months back and never saw region while flashing as all have english and thats more than enough to use roms

For the first time I rooted my phone, I followed this steps that are in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
First of all, follow the G. step.
G. Flash Custom Recovery
Follow strictly this step-by-step.
Then, you should be able to root the phone.
To you, what works is the E. step.
E. Rooting for 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7
Remember that you have to download the file attached to the post, upd_1.zip.
I think that it is the best way to root.
no it didn't work on me .. and odin can't detected my phone...

as i can see you may not be owner of rarely found "i"
and as stocks of international SGA or vice versa do not work , i don't think its good idea to flash cf-root on top as no one actually saw sources for 5830i

[Q] Official android version

Dear concern, i am using galaxy s i9000, i buy it a 2months used cell, as it was using gingerbread 2.3.3, i doesn't know that if it was an official gingerbread or non official, i flashed it with custom rom's, such as XXJVO, XXJVA... and in those i faced some problems i cannot upgrade the firmware version by kies r itself by the phone, so i rooted with so called official version from this link (theandroidsoul)
and now when i connect my phone with kies it has the same problem "your firmware cannot be upgrade by kies"
Can you plz help me that what should i do to get the official version of the gingerbread. Thank u very much in advance.
Go to sammobile.com and make a login account (its free). From there click on firmware and then click on smartphone and then android and so on. Then find the firmware you want. There are also pdf guides that you can follow to tell you exactly what to do.
Yep, you'll need to manually flash stock before Kies will recognize your phone and it's firmware version properly and agree to upgrade it for you.
With stock on, you can still be rooted and do all fancy things there-in, but the OTA upgrades can and usually do break it.
There are also ROMs that are pre-modded/rooted versions of the official firmware that might interest you, and save you some time.
official version
Dear Talon26,

Ics upgrade question (changing region csc)

Hi iam a newbie
I have been seeing lots of thread where note users are willing to go back to GB from ICS
And also have seen threads with NOTE BRICKED with OFFICIAL ICS OTA GERMAN rom installed via kies or OTA .. And also about eMMC bug or somethkng i heard which requires the note to be send back to samsung.
I love my note on GB but ics is ics afterall thats why i want it but my question is and i apologise if it annoys anyone as i am a newbie
So if i change my region by the easiest method without any bricking risk of changing SCS TO DBT OPEN GERMAN and then upgrading to OFFICIAL ICS VIA KIES OR OTA so will all these errors, bugs and note getting bricked, eMMc bug etc etc
Are they likely to happen to me as well? ?
Or is ot only happening on those Galaxy note which have installed official ics open germany rom via odin and other risky ways. . Or only to those note who previously had rooted and were using on custom roms. .
So plz can anyone clear my confusion so i can finally decide weather or not to upgrade to ics. ..
tnx in advance
Details regarding my device : bought 3 weeks ago. Never rooted or used a custom rom and No intention of rooting or using custom rom in future.
Plz provide the advice so i can make a decision on weather or not to upgrade.

hello m8. Like u i'm also a newbie. I can tell you that i've recently bought my note, unlocked version.
Today i've rooted it twice, @ 1st using europe rom and then france rom with portuguese csc.
Rooted it teice because with the first riot in kies started to say that i couldnt upgrade it.
Then aftwr many reading i've decided to upgrade to 4.0.3. Used dr. Ketan guide in the dev section and worked fine on my phone. I've tested alnost everything and till the moment i have not encountered any bug or mal function.
But as they say in the post there are some reports of some bugs or even worst some notes that "died".
I leave here a screenshot after the update.
Cheers
Thnks for the info mate
But i really dont wish to root thats why after seeing the thread which said uograding by just changing region plua widout root thats what made me confident enuf to finally go ahead and upgrade and give it a try..
But still worries me as daily i see threads here created with someeones brick either stuck in odin or recovery etc or either bricked bc Of ics.
So i want ics the easiest way possible widout root and thats only possible by changing region using those codes and selecting DBT and then kies and OTA server treats ur note as a german made note and u can then upgrade to ics... So i wanted to know even those who have uograded this way hav they also the chance of getting these bugs and emmc errors brick etc
If yes then i will wait for a fixed update by samsung

any input will be greatly appreciated.. thanks a lot..
It simply means that you'll have to wait for the update. Some are getting OTA some via KIES. Don't worry about the message your getting from KIES. I got.tiff and 2 weeks later it updated to a new version and ran the update to ICS. Its rolling out slowly in different regions.
If you can't wait head over to sammobile.com and grab the firmware to flash yourself with Odin...

the OP said they distant want to root!
As a previous poster has said you have two choices really. 1. wait for the official OTA release, or 2. Download an existing stock ROM that had already been released and flash that using Odin.
Instead of using SamMobile you could download FUS Checker, and use that to download a ROM that matches your configuration (if available.) FUS Checker is a Windows app that searches Samsung servers in the same way as Kies but allows you to download and decrypt the file so you can flash it with Odin.
