Cheers Antony O'Brien

is your phone working at the moment ?
are you familiar with ADB ?
if so you can boot into download mode thru ADB and then you can apply the 3 button combo fix.

As above..

Android Debug Bridge, you have to have USB Debuggin enabled on the phone.
it allows you to perform commands similar to command prompt on a PC, you can make the phone do things without using it, like boot into download and recovery mode.
a little complicated, but many many guides around, also follow the link posted by rixsta and everything you need is on that thread,

I've got as far as downloading odin 1.7 but i need to know the specific file that i need to download like roms and firmwares because my phone is as follows:
Model number
GT-I9000
Firmware version
2.2.1
Baseband version
I9000xxjpy
Kernel version
2.6.32.9

We are waiting for Samsung to release Gingerbread > promised soon and i would in your shoes wait for the official release via Kies .
That could well cure your problems .

Galaxy Tab problems after stock restore

I had a UK unlocked (no branding) GT-P1000 Galaxy Tab. I flashed it to a custom gingerbread build on Win7 X64 but later wanted to revert to stock. After a lot of searching I flashed the device with P1000XWJMI. All went fine and device booted back in (with a foreign language set as default but I've changed to English via settings).
When connecting the device to Kies it now says "This version of the device cannot be updated". It never used to say this before! It used to say I was running the latest firmware.Can anyone advise what the problem is?
I've seen some threads referring to something with a CSC mismatch and to alter using *#272*IMEI# and changing the code but I didn't want to do this without being certain what I'm changing.
Presently Kies shows:
PDA: JMI
Phone: JMA
CSC: JM4 (CPW)
I'm running Kies version 2.0.1.11053_99
Thanks
Craig

Is JMI stock for your tab? Besides, the country code might be wrong.

I didnt know how to find the correct stock for this tab. I just saw in a post that someone else form UK had used this so I went for it.

i had this issue also , and i didn't know ever how to make it work
so ppl said that you have to download app from the market that plays with the PDA and CSC to change them to what ever you want without flashing any other rom
Darkpal guide :
My way is DANGEROUS. You need to know what you're doing to do it. IF IT MELTS YOUR TAB am not RESPONSIBLE.
1. Do a Rotobackup of your existing firmware or any backup to your efs folder (regular backups won't work).
2. Download an app called SpoofFW
3. Put the PDA, Phone and CSC of a known stock firmware (like your asia
4. reboot.
5. connect to kies.
thanks for him not for me , but to your info i couldn't understand what to do with the app maybe you wait someone to describe it for you

Do you know when kies said latest firmware what was your firmware then?

My case is different. After updating my ROM back to stock, all the versions are OK, despite the software and phonebook remains (but I noticed that my photos in gallery are deleted, which is what I wished).
My question is how to restore it to the REAL factory setting state, without any additional wallpaper and software that I installed?
Thanks for your attention, and wait for your advise as well.

If I understand you correctly, you have to:
[*]Press menu
[*]Settings
[*]Privacy
And there you'll have the option to do the factory reset.
You can also do it by booting into recovery (volume up + power on) and selecting it from the menu.

My tab is from the uk (got it from amazon uk) and it was jmi/jma/jm2 (cpw) on the last update. Before that it was jj7/jk5/jj5 (cpw).
Maybe you can try downloading an older euro rom from samsfirmware and go from there. Don't forget jmi had locked bootloaders.

SOLVED: Kies does not detect firmware of Captivate I896

Hello
Kies 2.0 or 1.5 will not recognize the firmware of one of my Samsung Captivate I896 running Rogers Stock 2.1 or Rogers Stock 2.2 (Froyo).
Two computers installed with
Vista Home Premium (32bit)
Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
Problem with Kies 2.0 detecting firmware on Captivate:
Captivate: deselect debugging mode.
Computer: Start "Kies" application
Connect USB cable to computer and then to Captivate
Captivate: Select "Kies (Firmware Update)"
Computer: Kies on computer will recognize Captivate correctly showing "I896" correctly.
Computer: In "Current Firmware", nothing is shown or detected. Blank
Captivate Brief History:
THis phone has been rooted and flashed with custom ROMs many times
ie CM7, Continuum
Then back to non GB bootloaders using ODIN one-click (AT&T Stock 2.1)
used a master clear at one time in the ODIN one-click
then Rogers Stock 2.1 (I896UXJI2 TORONTO) via ODIN3 v.1.82.
also Rogers Stock 2.2 (I896UXJL1-stock) via ODIN3 v.1.82.
I have also used (heimdall-suite-1.3.0-win32) to flash (UXJL1 I897)
With Eclair - Rogers 2.1 Stock.
Is the product code correct?
Yes
With Stock 2.1 flashed on captivate.
Enter *2767*4387264636# in dialer.

I had this problem for a while before I updated to froyo a few months ago. I ended up having to flash back to unrooted stock before I could update to Froyo through Kies. Have you tried unrooting?
I was a supporter of Kies for a long time, but it seems like it's only real usefulness is to update firmware. The set of apps that Samsung wraps up in Kies are not superior to the parallel Google Applications. I guess I'm just curious as to why you need to use Kies when there are so many better alternatives in regards to syncing contacts, apps and content.
Good luck to you. I'd try with a completely stock unrooted eclair.

Sooo, does someone who has never rooted or flashed a different ROM have this same problem? Or is it Captivate wide, regardless of the device condition?

Are you running 2.1 or 2.2? If you've never rooted or installed another ROM and are having issues with Kies connecting, make sure that you install the specific driver package that kies is intended to run with. If you just plug in your phone and let Windows install the drivers automatically you may not get the results you are looking for.
There are many, many threads that address this specific issue if you do a quick search.

I am running 2.2 stock from Rogers, but after rooted and flashing CM7. I went back to stock using a guide from XDA somewhere. Drivers are all installed.
Kies can see the phone, but it cannot detect the firmware.

This works perfectly. The other versions out there don't set the csc properly so kies wont touch it. This worked like a champ. Download, install. Flash to stock, follow directions. Then boot up kies, connect usb, hit kies button and it will prompt for the upgrade

Did that bring you back to stock 2.1 or 2.2? if it brought you to 2.1 when you went into kies did it flash you to 2.2 or 2.3? if it brought you to 2.2 did you have to unplug it and then plug it back into kies to get 2.3?

My gnote issue

hey all,
i'm new to the forums here at xda-developers but i'm in ire need of some advice/help if you would not mind sharing your experience.
Okay the issue.
I have a galaxy note gt-n7000, it will not update via kies or via the phone itself at all for months. I'm from England and i purchased it on contract from carphone warehouse; some vital information about the phone are as follows:
Android version - 2.3.6
Baseband version - N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-N7000LA6-CL907341 [email protected] #2
Build bumber - GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
CSC - XEU
I have tried several things to fix this such as:
Factory restting everything - the sd card, the phone... No eval.
Attempting to change the CSC to a different one from XEU
Waiting to see if any more updates are as followed
reconnecting/rebotting my phone to ensure the connection is okay to Kies
Another issue of this phone is that it will not download anything from the website such as bus timetable PPFs in which it used to be beforehand, i am completely stumped by it
thanks for your time to read this and hopefully help,
Nozz.
P.S I don't really want to root my phone cause my warranty will void otherwise.

have you updated the kies? use latest version of kies to update it should work.

Since youre factory resetting, i presume you dont care for any data loss... You can go to recovery (turn off phone then press and hold volume up+power+home until the phone turns on) then do the factory reset there... (this is not touch interface.. You have to use volume buttons and the power button to select your option):highfive:
I entrust you to do this since you said youre running 2.3.6 but DONT DO THIS if you manage to get to Ice cream sandwich!!! We can never stop reminding people of this... DONT EVEN DARE to factory reset under settings on a stock Ice cream sandwich n7000..

Yeah, according to Kies it is the updated version, and i also updated a galaxy s2 with it to ICS the other day...
Will going into recovery mode then factory resetting it work ?
thanks for your help,
Nozz.

Just factory resetted it, and once again it is coming up with it saying it is not possible tp update Via Kies :/
And Kies is fully updated

Also another thing i forgot to mention, the phone wants an update has it says new firmware is available through downloading from the phone then installing that way, however when i try this, it all goes okay, reboots, comes up with the little andriod symbol then it stops at roughly 20%, reboots and says it was unsuccessful, try updating via samsung kies.
thinking of just getting rid of it, but it's a contract.... Sigh.
nozz.

somebody made a program that you can use instead of KIES, it is called Checkfus.
google for it, or search the forum, i am sure you will find it.

Hi there,
I would suggest not to update more on Kies as Kies sometimes KIES(OTA OR the PC one) is quite not more reliable sometimes, sometimes you can upgrade sometimes you can't.(Just like a woman on her monthly periods )
Anyway, I would you recommend by just flashing it thru PC ODIN. Download your stock ICS software from this page -> www.samfirmware.com and look for the firmware on your region. Flash it and you should be good to go.
:good:

i'm quite new to flashing phones, i've flashed computer motherboard bios, but i can get inside them and change the mobo if it goes wrong however i cannot do that with a phone :/
Which one is safe for my phone, considering it's current build etc?
Advice would be appreciated.
I can't seem to find firmware that is suited for my PDA, CSC and Phone codes... Or will any UK firmware work?
Nozz.

If you narrow down a bit, there's a firmware for UK there(Carphone Warehouse to be exact)

According to CheckFus there is no such ICS update for my specific phone, aka pda/phone/csc.... hmm... and also i can't seem to find any roms for my specific phone either...
I really don't know what to do now
Could someone take alook at my numbers in my first post and help me, as i'm pretty much at the end of my tether with this phone
i'll relist my phones information:
PDA: N7000XXLA6
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000XEULP4
Build Info: Friday, January 20 05:38:08 KST 2012
That build info looks slightly dodgy considering this is supposed to uk phone, and i'm pretty sure UK gingerbread didn't come out at that point... hmmm.. got me thinking.
anyhow
Thanks,

[Q] Updating to JellyBean via Kies / PC Odin / CWM

I have a GT-N7000 Galaxy Note which I won in a competition in the UK from Samsung, so it was already unlocked when I got it and can put in any SIM Card I want into it.
It originally came with Gingerbread - I've updated so that the phone is now rooted and currently has android 4.0.4
I want to upgrade to Jellybean but I'm confused by all the various ways there seem to be to update it.
At present I have totally reset the phone and installed Kies on my PC (windows 7 32bit)
When I connect the phone Kies says there is an upgrade
CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION : PDA:LRQ / PHONE:LRK / CSC:LRQ(DBT)
LATEST FIRMWARE VERSION: PDA:LSZ / PHONE:LSO / CSC:LSZ(DBT)
I'm kinda scared to do an official firmware upgrade because the last time I tried an OTA update it failed although nothing bad seemed to happen to my phone but I'm really scared of bricking it.
If I use Kies do I loose root?
Do I need to worry about not being on an original Samsung Kernel?
Also I installed several mobile phone tracking software such as Prey Project to my phone - so I'm not 100% sure if it's still there or not after resetting. I can't seem to see any trace of it on the various screens.
Is KIES the safest way to upgrade to JellyBean?
The current state of my phone is full reset (also wiped the USB Storage and SD Card) and as follows:
Android 4.0.4
Baseband
N7000XXLRK
Kernel Version
3.0.15

No, it is not the best to do a upgrade is pc odin after factory reseting the phone on a safe kernel as you are on speedmod it is safe
Just follow this guide. This should be appropriate to upgrade to JB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156242

I would say kies will be the official way to do it ..

I'm a little worried about upgrading via a cable from my PC to the phone in-case I loose the connection
I was having trouble last night simply copying files from the phone to the PC via a datacable
it kept disconnecting after a few seconds.
At first I thought it was software on my phone that was the issue but even after resetting the phone to factory default setting I still got disconnections.
Then I went through my PC and removed any possible causes of problems such as firewall software, antivirus, etc
I only reinstalled windows on my PC a few days ago so there's not much software on the PC but I did remove USB software for my Motorola Phone and I think that's helped. The connection seems a lot more stable now. But doing something as sensitive as a firmware update worries me.
Removing windows software isn't an issue as I've ordered more RAM for my PC to take it up to 8GB and will have to re-install a 64 Bit version of Windows anyway to make use of the extra RAM.
I did come across this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023907
The file named
ThaiDai_Small_XXLSZ_v1.0_MD5_12395d7c826d3cad45e9e b1e57f9e2a9.zip
Looks appealing because it seems to be a stock ROM but with a lot of Bloatware removed that I wouldn't want anyways.
Is this a good and safe option compared to using PC Odin?
The version of ClockworkMod on my phone is v5.8.1.8

What's the kernel?
That rom is good also there is one by eybee too. Full stock.

I did find this video which seems to show how to use PC Odin really well
