[q] still no 2.2

Hi im on samsung Galaxy S vibrant from Bell.
Im sitll running 2.1 as no update has come through Kies for me for 2.2
I am using Kies 2.##.
My current firmware version is: PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1 (BMC)

If you are impatient you could download JL2 (latest official Bell upgrade) and flash with Odin.
Otherwise...make sure you have latest version of Kies, etc...never used Kies myself so I can't help you troubleshoot that a whole lot

or bite the bullet and root the phone, use some custom ROMs
It's a little scary at first, but well documented and safe/stable nowadays

Lots of good options like Darky's, Ultimate etc. I've recently been playing with Doc&Stef's RomKitchen which is stable and well documented

Could be that you are not using a Bell ROM. JM1/2 is a European ROM. The Bell 2.1 roms were jg2 and jh2. When you boot the device does it flash a screen with "GT-I9000M "?

that's 2.1
for some reason nobody posted a 2.2 kb1 stock rom. all us americans are too obsessed with flashing i9000 roms or heavily modded roms. the only way to kb1 stock on this board is flash 2.1 and use kies mini to update, assuming you havent messed anything up that will prevent kies from recognising the phone like info in the efs partition.

oh right... i get confused by your damn numbers... kb1...
we had JI2 (2.1.1) and JL1 (2.2)
you know how long it took me to hunt that wrong one down?

I thought I saw a cappy stock ROM 2.2 on here when I soft bricked (I use a vibrant). They had all of them plus pre rooted versions and everything. Ill try to find it and post a link.

Here is a link. Just use the file as PDA and use your standard pit and you should flash back to stock 2.2. No problems reported either.

Here is another one..more of the same I suppose. Both are froyo stock though, and I'm pretty confident either will work. This one definitively says use 512 pit and use the tar file you download as the pda.

I used this one to upgrade from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2 using Heimdall a while back with no problems to speak of. The phone ended up developing the same lag as 2.1 eventually so I have since gone with one of the many lagfixed roms.

[Q] Anycall Galaxy S - bricked?

Hello,
my friend got a phone that at first sight i thought its the galaxy s i9000. but its the korean version of it with integrated dbm antenna.
but the problem he had was, that he tried to flash a gingerbread rom (for i9000) but came to me saying the phone does not boot anymore...
so i wanted to flash the correct firmware.. so i downloaded the latest one from http://m110sroms.info/ ...
but when i start the update with odin.. it stops with a FAIL at the very end of the flashing process.. i tried several times with and without closing Odin and with and without ticking repartition.. but it didnt help..
what is the problem? please help..
i downloaded another firmware but didnt worked either..
does he bricked the phone? is it possible to un-brick it?
please answers.. thanks

I don't know a lot about this, but I do know it's almost impossible to permanently brick your phone. So things could work out just fine . However someone with some more knowledge should help you out, since mine is insufficient. GL though.

i just tried almost every single firmware i found for this device but none of them worked
so please, if anyone does know a solution, feel free to post.

Maybe it's not i9000. There is a difference between models like i9000,i9000B... check it behind battery

[Q] German upgrade to ICS is safe?

Hi, I know there's a thread saying that the version XLPY is bricking phones. I just connected my Note to the Kies and it asked if I wanted to upgrade. I thought it was a newer version of Gingerbread, so I clicked to upgrade.
So far the phone is good, no problem at all.
(This phone was ordered on amazon.de and sent from germany).
Anyone with a german phone can confirm to me if there are problems and if I should go back to gingerbread or if it's safe to keep this ICS? Thank you,
Marco Silva.

it should be safe if upgrade thru samsung kies.
if you still afraid of that, flash another stock rom thru odin3.

I'm not using german version, but it should be safe to use official ICS as long as you don't do factory reset or wipe in recovery. If you wanna do that juz follow the posted link.

The German version is -not- safe. I'm pretty much in the same boat, new Note owner, did the OTA update.
The Kernel version you get is 3.0.15-N7000XXLPY-CL474507
As far as I gleaned from reading on here, that version is fully capable of bricking the phone on a wipe/factory reset.

Ok thanks ill swap it then. Thanks for the help.

[Q]

Hi All
I am from Bangladesh and looking for some HELP!!!
I have just bought one Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 from one of my friend. He used it for last one year. It was pretty much ok with all the settings. I am always little bit curious about new machines and when I got it I thought it was not updated with all the setting. Like a stupid I have tried to root it with CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.TAR and it showed “FAIL” and went dead. After that I downloaded another file dbdata.rfs.tar and made it active again. But unfortunately everything erased down from my tab.
After that I got someone from UK who helped to setup The Overcome Experience in my Tab. Everything is fine except my IMEI what is shown fake as 004999010640000
Model # GT-P1000
Firmware Version # 2.3.6
Baseband Version - P1000XXJPZ
Kernel Version # 2.6.35.7, Overcome-v4.0.0 # 40
Build Number # Overcome 7 Series v4.1.0
I don't know what else to try. I have searched the forums here and it seems that the answer is not there or I am not in the right page.
I would appreciate any help or other ideas!!!!
Regards
Noor

The answer is there.
Usually is by flashing stock ROM.
You may want to try overcome's GB stock safe v5.
The link is in my signature.
After flashing stock, check your IMEI. hopefully it is restored.

Hi Priyana,
Thank you so much for your quick response! The same I have followed to install my Overcome Experience (as per XDA policy couldn't paste the link here)
If you insist I can again reinstall it from your given link or if you adv to install any other operating system like gingerbread or jelly bean or any other OS. Actually frankly speaking I am very new on this. Thanks again and waiting fro your suggestion.
Regards
Noor

I don't insist.
But so far the only way to recover IMEI is either by having a backup of your efs,
Or by restocking.
Some people here couldn't get back their IMEI even after restock.
Not sure why.
But it is up to you to try or to leave it.
Upgrading to higher os won't help.

Thanks Priyana! Actually my EFS folder is empty. Is the Overcome Experience is the latest OS?

well, overcome 4.1 (the ROM) is a modified samsung stock 2.3.6
So in a sense, yes, it is the latest that is close to the official released but better in performance.
Samsung didn't update the OS for P1000 anymore, so if you want ICS or JB, it will have to come from CM/AOKP/Paranoid etc
