Hi,
I've tried searching for this but haven't found all the info I need before I take the plunge. The phone is a 16GB model originally from Vodaphone but with no sign of branding.
Early on after getting this phone I flashed JG5 2.1, and since then kies hasn't shown any firmware updates.
I haven't found a definite way to hack kies to upgrade from JG5 directly to JPO, so I'm thinking of going the Odin route.
Some people say you have to flash to JM8 then to JPO, is that true? Or can I go directly to JPO downloaded from Samsungfirmware?
many thanks for any help I can get

This should be in general or Q/A. In future don't post in Development just because it gets more traffic.
I updated via Kies using the registry hack to go from JM1 to JPO, without any problems. On samfirmware it does say you should flash JM8 then JPO but I'm not sure if this makes any difference. My phone is going great since I updated to JPO, straight from JM1. All I can say is that if you try it you've got nothing to lose. So why not?
ALSO! Please make sure that you can access download mode. If not use one of the fix's on this forum.

Hi All,
I Upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to Froyo 2.2. All seems well but the performance does not seem all that great as well.
If i want to restore back to the Standard Manufacturer Firmware (i was on JG4) that comes out of the box with the I9000 what do i have to do? Any help here would be appreciated.
Download the firmware from samsung-firmwares and flash your phone with odin. There is plenty of flashing tutorials about to show you how to do it. Although if you managed to update to froyo then you properly already know how to flash it again
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Hello. I managed to get the firmware from samfirmware.com for the original 2.1 (Asian version) but I couldn't get it to follow through. There would always be an error with regards to MD5 or something. What do I do? Thanks

I have the same problem as well, any helps here please?
Alot of the the DXJG4 firmware out there is corrupted.
So, try download DXJF4 from samfirmware.com (and flash with Odin with 513 pit) then uprade to DXJG4 through KIES.
NOTE: If KIES says "Device version's cannot be upgraded". Then you need to change your product code back to "XSO" (Search the forum on how to change product code.... about editing the nv_data.bin file)
My Flash history:
DXJF4-->DXJG4-->XXJPK-->DXJG4
I'm pretty new....
The firmware versions you guys are talking about are I hope, all "software" version and not real hardware chip revisions?
thanks
why dont you just flash your phone with 2.2.1 or 2.3.3(latest).....i know 2.2 is quite unstable FW but 2.2.1 will help a lots......I dont think you need to downgrade the phone back to the stock FW to solve any problem
Hi there guys.
I can't remember whether my SGS had the JF3 firmware out of the box or not. And, since both JM7 and JM8 are not cutting it for me, I'd like to revert back to my phone's stock firmware. Is there a way to find out what the firmware "out of the box" used to be?
Thanks in advance.
europe = JM2 latest stock
Thank you for your reply.
So JM2 is basically the latest non-beta firmware version?
Also, should I use the "usual" method to flash JM2 and should I get the files at samfirmware?
Please bear with me as I am very new to this flashing stuff.
samfirmware is fast and easy
or you can do it via Kies but it's a challenge dealing with Kies as most people can tell you

Kies would not update me past JM1. I flashed an old firmware to my phone and as expected Kies prompted me for a firmware update. Only to JM1 though and after JM1 was installed it said my phone was up to date, idk if this is the same for everyone else just letting you know ...
Is it even possible to "downgrade" by using Kies? Cause I can't seem to get it to work, even with all of the registry hacks described in several threads, here on XDA.
Guess I'll have to use Odin after all...

I have encountered the same in the past. Not sure on which productcode JM2's available.
So which is best and why?
Also, can I just flash the pda as with JPK to JPM?
dont like your current one? cos i see nothing then complains about whatever version they are using. one and a half month on jpk and theres nothing to complain here, I will change when i mess up or when everybody is calling it "the rom" =/

I'm in the UK and updated through Kies about 30 minutes ago, put me on Froyo JPA.

So why are users getting both JPA and JPO? how can we be in different regions in the same country?
Also through kies is it formating the sd card?

I suspect those getting JPA had installed FroYo via Kies nordic hack which changed their product code to XEE. I installed JPO via a different KIES hack before changing my product back to XEU.
I'm using JPO now, before I had JP6.
using oclf and almost done with installing all my apps.
seems to run very smooth. have not seen any thing yet.
Tried JPA 2 days ago (odin) but I messed something up so had to redo it.
and compairing JPA to JPO I would now say that JPO seems quicker.
Anyone know where I can get JPA so I can flash through ODIN? Kies is stuck on low battery...

I had JP6 and it gave me JPA, I haven't hacked kies at all, flashed with odin.
Hi,
Firstly, apologies if this question has already been answered. I tried using the search facility but didn't find the answer I needed.
I purchased my SGS from Malaysia. It came loaded with JG4 and the Singtel (Singapore) branding. I decided to flash the firmware to JP3 in order to get rid of the Singtel apps and the splash screen.
I have a few questions:
1. Will Kies still allow me to update to official Froyo even though I manually flashed to JP3? I'm aware that the official firmware isn't available yet for most of Asia, but want to make sure that when it does become available, Kies will let me update.
2. If I flash an unofficial European firmware onto my device, will I then be able to upgrade via Kies to the official European firmware? How does Kies determine which update is ideal for your phone? Is it based on the current firmware? Or do they check your serial number or something to determine where the phone was sold and only recommend that regions firmware? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 in order for the Kies update to recognise that I need an update?
I know that if I really wanted to I could update things manually via Odin, but I would now prefer to stick to the official method of updating.
Thanks.
Similar difficulties
Hey,
I am having similar problems. I got my galaxy s from tmobile in uk but I upgraded my galaxy s to froyo 2.2 using Odin3. Problem is at that time I didn't have enough knowledge. The phone got upgraded to 2.2 properly but now a lot of functions like Swype don't work on it and also the Internet crashes quite oftenly also it is a little slow. I came to xda developers also in hopes to find out how to re flash galaxy s to 2.1 or fix my problems.
My advice for you is however, don't rush into anything like I did.
Regarding Swype, mine was disabled after I flashed the firmware too. Try holding down the button in the bottom left of the messaging screen to turn it back on.
Bump.
Can anybody shed some light on either question?
Is the official 2.2 update available yet via Kies?
I updated out of the box (got phone yesterday - unlocked but has some Vodafone branding in ROM) but still no 2.2 update.
Thanks
Phil

Well that's sorta the problem for me... I don't even know whether Kies will give me the option for updating to the official 2.2 firmware if it already sees that I have an unofficial 2.2 firmware installed already.
Having done some research (thanks google) I know Kies does not provide Froyo for Vodafone branded phones yet. However it appears to be due very soon.
The easiest way to get Froyo I think is to install ROM manager, then download a custom Froyo, stick it on your internal SD and flash it from recovery mode. Doc Froyo comes highly recommended
Probably not. I remember reading somewhere that kies will give you a message saying firmware not recognised.
Howdy,
I got my phone replaced after an issue with a no service state. The phone i have now is a i9000. Refurbished, running 2.3.3 xxjvk. My question is does anyone have any solid advice as to which cf root package to flash? I found 2.4-3.1 on his page. My last phone started off with xxjvt which was easy to root. Im not sure what the difference between them all is. I need some help as I dont feel like bricking another phone as my last one died after flashing back to GB rom from an ICS rom. Thanks.
Look here for CF Root JVK kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12651359&postcount=6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30067551&postcount=3 , using semaphore will give you CF root plus CWM recovery
Hey
You can Upgrade to 2.3.6 via odin and then root it...heres a guide
Ok. I got 2.3.3 rooted. I have a question about updating my phone tho, KOR is my region code for the phone...Im in Alaska, if 2.3.6 is for KOR I assume that I wont run into any issues? I didn't used to care with my last one, but since it died Im trying to be nicer to this phone as I need it to last more than 6 months.
If theres an update for csc KOR - which my phone is and 2.3.6 includes KOR, why cant I update using kies? I have the firmware pulled already, and want to move to it but was wondering if there was a different way to go about it than odin.

Sure, you can use KIES to upgrade your phone , just connect and try, if failed than you can use ODIN , they are both samsung software, firmware, Odin and KIES downloads can be found on MY Android Collection..link below
I guess Ill just flash it with Odin as Kies says no update available, which is always its response it seems. So thanks.
