I have a Samsung Galaxy S which would have been due it's Froyo update.
A mate said he would update it for me manually.
My phone on the whole works (except the clock is never right, pinch/zoom on home-screens doesn't work) as it should but would prefer to have the official update when it is ready.
Will I be able to get the update when it is ready or will I have to rollback to 2.1?
If I need to rollback could someone give me a link (or step by step instructions) please?
My phones details are as follows:
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJP2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 ([email protected] #1)
Build Number GT-I9000-eng 2.2 MASTER 332 test-keys.332
My friend isn't get anywhere near my phone again.....
Stuck in the same situation here mate.....
Type *#272*(the phones imei number found in settings about phone)# the select from the list xeu (if u live in europe otherwise select the one u need) . Then update via kies.
If u want to have ur operaters firmware u will need to download a emulator and root ya phone and hack the phone. I think theres a post on xda for it
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks for that but when I key in *#272*IMEI# I get "USSD code running" and then "UNKNOWN APPLICATION" and then nothing.
Any odeas?
Instead of typing imei could try typing current time on the phone in 24h format like for 14:51 it would be 1451

If u cant get that to work just do the the reg hack.

"DEVCONINFO"=""

Ya might still want to check your phone is on the correct region after and if not use the *#272*imei# trick

No, you have to type imei but NOT A WORD "IMEI" but your imei number found on your telephone box.

Don't bother mate. I was in the same boat, installed the older version of Kies, hacked the registry, and it updated to JPO. But trust me, it's garbage. Look for one of the popular custom JPOs instead, that's what I'm off to do now.

I'm needing a bit of help with this also I'm afraid. I got fed up waiting for my upgrade so decided to take matters into my own hands. Flashed my phone to JM1 which was them same version of 2.1 as my friend who has an unbranded phone was running. I assumed that I would get to update to 2.2 just as he had. However, it says my device cannot be updated. Now my service provider has released my update but I can't find the JM3-JM4 files on Samsung Firmware site to get me back where I was in order to receive my upgrade.
I'd be really greatful if anyone could help.

Hello all,
I've been reading and downloading from xda for over a year now (sgs- darky's rom mainly), and this is my FIRST POST!
I know i can find my answer just by looking but i really wanted to post for the first time so here's my question- My tab is in the post (got it from ebay as i'm a pauper and can't afford it new, or the 8.9 or 10.1) and obviously want to root it straight away. I've seen that some are using z4 root but my sgs won't accept this method, can i be sure it'll work?
take care fellow "tabbers"

Any links to the right places would be really appreciated
First you're not stupid. You're just new and learning.
Second your tab judging by its firmware is gsm european tab.
Third you can root using superoneclick root.
Fourth. Head to the development section and you will find alot of great roms (or click on my sig if you're interested in overcome). JUST BE SURE TO READ ENTIRE GUIDES AND STUDY THEM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.

Your tab is rooted already. Look at the kernal version. In your apps you will see something called Superuser. Tap it. If its there and opens you are rooted.

That's what really confused me, the kernel said root on it, but no super user was there and none of my purchased root apps could aquire root.... so I used super one click as advised and hey presto! Still confused as to why it said that on my kernel tho...

Hi. My P-Code is GT-1900LKAYOG but I can find no reference to that anywhere. When the phone first boots it displays YOIGO for a second or so. I believe this is a Spanish carrier. Does anybody know if this is a legitimate P-Code and if we will get rom updates?
Plug it into Kies and it will tell you very quickly.
It will either say (I'm paraphrasing here as I don't know the exact words)
1. You have the latest firmware
2. A Firmware update is available
or
3. This is an unapproved ROM. Updates are not available
Thanks but part of the problem is that I don't have access to a Windows or Mac machine (running Ubuntu) so I don't have this option.
Open the phone, enter *#1234# and post back the PDA/PHONE/CSC versions and I will try CheckFusDownloader to see if I can figure out the right string to check.
By the way - how do you expect to get those updates if you don't have Kies available ?

Ok, thanks for the info.
I rooted my phone and i installed cyanogen mod. After hitting backup current rom, my phone rebotted and it now has a black screen with white, small letters that say "fastoboot." I'm new to this and do not know what to do!
If you installed CM7 on it there is your problem. Quit pushing buttons you don't know about. What phones CM7 did you put on your phone? Because there is no CM for the Zio. You need to do a lot of learning before you just do stuff bro. Go to the development section for the Zio and start reading.
Hope you have a computer to use.
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this
Yea, i clicked on the first option. I don't even remember what it said, but thanks for giving me that tip. And yea that's how i found about the rooting.
I would recommend starting in the Easy Clockwork Mod Recovery thread as that is required stuff for running a rooted Zio. You have to know or learn how to use Adb/Fastboot from your computer. Im assuming you were trying to install/backup the rom on Rom Manager. Thats a nono on Zio.

You are very vague in your entire description of what you did and what is happening now. If you have CM running on your phone I would sure like to know how, and what phone it was built for, because I am certain no one has ported CM to the Zio. You said you installed it and now it's working, this should be impossible. Are you sure you installed CyanogenMod? And if you did where did you get it from? And where does it say Digital Roaming?
Sent from where ever I was when I posted this
First I downloaded z4 root on my phone. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup from the market. After all this was downloaded the phone was rooted and i was able to delete preloaded apps such as sprint tutorials and other stuff i didn't want. Then I downloaded ROM manager which is where I downloaded CyanogenMod and chose 7.1. I chose the first option on the list since i didn't see the sanyo zio and it worked. The last thing i did was attempt to backup the current ROM and that's where it took me to the black screen where it said fastboot. Idk what i did, but when i tried turning it on for the last time, my phone was back to normal. Usually the connection status says 3G, but now it says that i am roaming.
Does that help?
Yes. First off there is virtually no support for Sprint Zios. Second off I would try to get in to your roaming settings and turn it to home only. Thirdly I would try to find out what phones ROM you have on your Zio(what phone the CM ROM was built for). Fourth and finally I'd say you are about a step or two away from bricking your phone out completely.
If you have insurance on it I would (lose it) and get a new one thru insurance. If not I would be very careful about what you do or try from here on out. I will check and see if the recovery for the Cricket Zio also works on Sprint, if it does I believe there is a Stock Rom from Sprint for the Zio here somewhere and that may just save you. May.

The mobile is very very slow and very difficult to use because of this. I have seen that I can root the mobile and upgrade it to Jelly Bean, and hopefully my problems will be resolved...
I am just not sure what kind of programme I should download to root it... also I'm very nervous about in what steps I need to go about to upgrading to Jelly Bean and what I need to download and in what order to do this.
I'm not sure what I download to my laptop's desktop and what I need on my mobile itself...
If you could help me with a step by step guide I would be eternally grateful.
Many Many Thanks

Basically what you're doing is flashing the newest GB firmware for your phone using Odin and then rooting it, also using Odin. After that you have access to " recovery mode", from which you simply choose a zip file with your ICS or JB ROM and flash it.
If your phone is normally working now, I suggest you retry. This process is fairly simple, given you follow all the steps.
Edit: wait, looks like you have a Brazilian i9000.
Since you're using a Brazilian I9000B, disregard what i wrote above, most ROMs aren't compatible, read this

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!!!!

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
