Ive had the Samsung Galaxy S for about a month now, download the app GST (Galaxy S tweaker) and while doing the changing the lockscreen feaure the phone was hanging at the startup screen and not booting. After much research i evantually figured out i had to reinstall the firmware myself, downloaded all the necessary programs and flashed the fone. The firmware is now debranded and when i connect to it to Samsung Kies and click "Firmware upgrade" it says this firmware cannot be upgraded. Is there anyway i can get the firmware back that came with the phone originally from Orange? Or i would i have to send it back to orange for their branded firmware? The main reason for this is that i want the official release of Froyo when it (evantually) gets released.

Okay, I installed Darky's ROM 6.0 and its absolutely amazing, but I wanted my normal T-Mobile UK firmware back on my i9000 (the firmware I got my i9000 with) and I had updated to i9000XXJP3 using Kies on my T-Mobile UK i9000 from 2.1 and it had worked quite well. I wanted that firmware back so I downloaded it and flashed it using Odin, however nothing is working properly (very slow even after factory reset), it connects to Kies but when I go to firmware upgrade on Kies my phone does not show up and last of all it is not T-Mobile UK branded like it was when it came with the phone.
Please I do not want any more rubbish (Darky's ROM 6.0 is not rubbish for the record it is amazing), I would just like the T-Mobile UK firmware that came with my phone the first day I opened it and everything to be like on that firmware. I don't care if it is 2.1 (2.1 came with my phone) I just want that particular, branded, locked firmware back.
Please help.
no one knows what to do? no one can help?
Please stick with me as I'm quite new to flashing this device.
A while back I flashed a new firmware to my Tab (Bought from Tesco's in the UK) open to any mobile network.
While my Tesco version said there was no update apparently the Carphone Warehouse version did come with a newer firmware. So after taking a plunge I flashed firmware JM6 (without some encryted keys or something that early adopters got stuck with).
I wondered if Samsung had released any newer firmware officially so today launched Kies and it prompted for a software update. This then uninstalled Kies and installed a new version 2.0.0.11014_49.
My device connects but then Kies states "This version of device can not be updated"
"current firmware version: PDA:JM6 / PHONE:JM6 / CSC:JM6 (XEU)"
Phone info after doing *#1234#
PDA1000XXJM6
PHONE1000XXJM6
CSC1000XAJM6
Does this mean that I will never be able to update through Kies again as it knows my firmware is not stock?
Is there a way to get back to stock or force Kies to install the latest stock
verison for my device like apple does on the iPhone?
Thanks in advance
I bought my Galaxy SL from Egypt; however, I've lost my original ROM. I've tried both I9003JPKD1 and I9003JPKE1 (Both are Arabic), yet kies still complains it can't update the version. I've problems with these 2 ROMs. The perfromance is sluggish and the camera hangs a lot. I need to use Kies to update to the original firmware my phone came with. Is there anyway to do this?

Kies won't update your software unless it detects the firmware your carrier says you should have. Therefore if you are looking for Kies to restore your software to the original version, it won't happen.
You need to find out what the name of your original firmware was and try to download it from samfirmware.com or elsewhere, then use Odin to flash it to your phone.

Try kies registry patch and update via kies.
Hello all,
I recently bought samsung galaxy s i 9000 it was pre loaded with froyo 2.2 and when ever i connect it to kies it gets connected for the first time and then onn if i disconnect it will never get connected unless i restart the phone.. I tried to update the firmware several times and it downloads the files but gets disconnected in between. I badly wanted to change to ginger bread and just loaded with odin.. Now, I started having the real problem its getting stuck most of the times and i had to open the task manager to free the ram.
But the video player is supporting more formats and no problem connecting with kies.. and i used it for sometime. Now while hanging up a call its getting stuck frequently. And once i had to lose most of my balance.
I decided to roll back my firmware to froyo 2.2 but I came to know I might lose the warranty tampering with O.S.. Is that really so?? And I got an asian version of froyo 2.2.1 for march 2011 from one of the threads and I flashed it into my phone. Now, kies is telling that this version cannot be updated. Can some one please suggest me
1) How I can get back my official firmware...which can also support updates in kies.
2) And Is that possible to retain warranty with any firmware?
I had to spend the whole of sunday over this please suggest me...
Thank you

Go to www.samfirmware.com and register. Download the ROM you want. I'm currently using XXJVR (Android 2.3.4). It is quite stable.
Then, use Odin to flash the ROM onto your device. Make sure you backup all your important data. I recommend MyBackupPro. It's available in the Market.
Then, switch off your phone completely and put it in 'Download Mode' (Volume Down + Home + Power). Connect it to your PC. Make sure you have the drivers installed.
Follow the instructions given on the website to flash with Odin. The XXJVR ROM has only 1 tar file. So, you're gonna have to use this procedure--> http://www.samfirmware.com/Odin I9000 2.png
Best of luck! Do let us know how it goes!
Hello community,
I have actually came across a difficult situation with my Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 (international variant).
In order to give you a high level view of what happened im going to write a few topics of what I have flashed to the phone since I bought it (new) back in March 2012:
1. I'm from Portugal and I bought the phone on an online retailer because I wanted the grey version. So far so good I ordered it on the UK.
2. The phone I received, although being unlocked and sealed/new, had software branding from MDA germany.
3. At the time we were on Android 4.1.2. I went to sammobile and installed the TPH version (Portugal) of 4.1.2 in order to have the full stock experience. Eventually I rooted the device.
4. Later on came the 4.3. At the time I was not aware of the bootloader complications and ended installing the UK or German version (clean) that was on Sammobile. Installation went fine and I immediately rooted the device without issues and disabled Knox in the Rom.
5. Yesterday I had this great idea of flashing 4.4 (still unaware of bootloader issues) and downloaded the spankin new 4.4.4. from the nordic countries from sammobile. This is where it gets interesting.
6. I have tried a zillion combinations and either I get stuck on the samsung logo or I get the error of binary 3 and device 2 (or the other way around). All the flashes via ODIN have been done using the AP/PDA option.
What can I do to unbrick it? I don't remember which ROM I flashed for 4.3 and I have tried to flash the german version of 4.4 (set 2014) and the nordic countries one. Also tried flashing 4.1.2 via CWM recovery directly from SD card but still no go and stuck at bootloop. Have also tried software repair using Kies (manually inserting serial number under the battery) and still no go for my dismay...
Is it recoverable? Is there a way to upgrade it to 4.4? If it helps so far I have been able to fash stuff via ODIN and still have download mode. I dont care about data as I did make a backup before setting off on this "adventure" :laugh:
Thanks in advance.
Eventually solved using Philz recovery. Turns out that during the flash process for some reason the /data partition could not be formatted.
Now recovered and running the clean 4.4.4. of XDA
