I have an unlocked i9000 running Froyo XXJPO updated from Kies with a UK country code (XEU). My question is, if I change my country code to Hong Kong by hacking the registry, will I be able to download the hong Kong Firmware, and able to change my phone to Chinese display?
If not, are there any ways of using chinese on my phone (preferably through Kies rather than odin).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Its, used registry hack to download a stock hong Kong region rom...worked well so far, so fingers crossed.
Cab you send the the address to download that fireware I just cant find. also i am using galaxy S 4G, will that works for me too?
As I understand it, language is framework based, so if you install a theme that includes chinese (and I know many do) you will have the language regardless of your firmware or CSC.

I have an asian SGS 9000 and I was wondering if I can flash it with the latest european firmware?
Thank you.
Go ahead, minor difference in bundled applications, system languages and APN settings, been using euro firmwares in asian sets for quite a while...
U guys use xxjm8?
Is it good? No bugs?
If use voodoo, is it fast enough ( i got 180 apps installed)?

its safe UNLESS you have a Korean SGS (Anycall phone) then DONT DO IT! For some reason they brick. I havn't looked into it as I had no need but faqs mention not to do it.
I have an SGS 9000 from singapore singtel. Not the korean "anycall" version. : ) Lucky : )
Why do you want European firmware? You live in Asia and be happy. You don't need Europe.

I live in europe. My phone is asian.
I´m using the GT-I9000HKDXEU firmware.
Can anyone tell me if the Latin America GT-I9000HKTTTT firmware has Brazilian language, please ?
Thanks a lot.
No one ?
Please, help me.
Mexico here - It seems our phones were released so recently, nobody has had a chance to take a real good look at them. I am also looking for my firmware and info on upgrading to Froyo but have not found anything yet, and the lack of answers tells me nobody really knows yet.
My PC is I9000HKTCE
Phone is I9000T. Yours I assume is I9000B?
Thanks a lot for the answer ferparedes.
I bought my SGS at Amazon and it came unlocked with a German firmware.
I´m using Froyo, but as my phone doesn´t have hardware for digital tv, I´d like to get a unbranded firmware that has Brazilian language.
Which languages are available in your phone ?

Thanks a lot for the information.
I think Froyo isn´t available yet for Latin America.
Maybe I´ll flash my SGS when Froyo is available.
I´m using the Europe version.
Hi folks. I've searched the forum and can't find anything that specifically addresses this particular issue.
I bought my SGS I9000 unlocked in Egypt (yes, I was recently evacuated) with 2.1 and have updated via KIES to 2.2. My phone is rooted and has the Arabic firmware.
My currently installed versions are:
PDA: I9000JPJPG
Phone: I9000JXJPE
CSC: I9000JPJPF
I don't want the Arabic Firmware and want to permanently change to a US firmware BEFORE 2.3 is released and I want to retain the KIES upgrade capability. My question is this: How do I change the permanent location of my phone so all future KIES upgrades will be automatic? Thanks.

Just curious, why do you want to retain KIEs upgrade capability in the first place?
Well basically I jusy want to retain my apps (I know about and have AppBrain) and I want the phone to be as though it was bought here.

Hello everyone,
I just received my Galaxy I9000, and made sure i can access the Download Mode and the Recovery Mode using the 3 button combos explained in the wiki.
I bought this phone in the united states, as an unlocked phone. Since i live in South America (Ecuador to be exact), i don't have an official version for this market and i'm using this international version I9000.
Checked the Firmware version installed and is the following:
PDA: I9000BUJP7
Phone: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Also checked the unlock status:
Personalization Status
Network Lock: OFF
Network Subset Lock: OFF
SP Lock: OFF
CP Lock: OFF
My phone's firmware is a provider one (Vodafone), looked in samfirmware to check for new firmwares, but i need some advice:
First, since my phone has a provider specific firmware, can i flash my phone with a "generic" samsung firmware?
If so which ones should i choose the European versions or the America/Australia firmwares??
I see in the list for europa versions this one as the last:
I9000XWJS8 ## 512.PIT Version 2.2.1
And for america this one:
I9000BVJJPD ## 512.PIT Version 2.2 2010 December
I was tempted to go for the european version but im just not shure.
Also what about the MODEM/CSC, do i need to flash those too? since those are also customized versions from the provider?
I dont mind loosing all the samsung apps, and the vodaphone ones, as they are pretty useless here.
Any advice on what is the best path to go from here is appreciated.
I bought this phone so i can learn to develop for android but im really new to this world.
Thanks
Search up goots tutorial. I think the CsC version just determines which stock apps get installed when you flash to be honest, I picked xeu because it's Europe generic but I dont think it matters
The froyo I had from goots link had multi CSC and you could pick and choose
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can use latest European version np. Im on it now but im from Europe but was on JPG 1 week ago and its from Asia. CSC is what gives you your APN for data traffic and the keyboard languages included but u can swap that easily using the Romkitchen or u can input your provider data manualy. Modem is your wifi, data network and gps driver you can use any the one from JS8 is very good so is JPG one. With modem its possible that with JQ1 u cant acces the 850mhz band immediatly but there are allreadu solutions to fix that on this forum.
Best advice i can give u is follow this guide:

I have recently purchase the Galaxy Note N7000 in the UK, but unfortunately the handset did not come in chinese display, what can I do to make my device to be able to display and type in chinese? Is it possible to flashing the ROM with the Hong Kong stock ROM ? Or any other alternative ways to do it ?
My device version
PDA: N7000XXKKA
PHONE:N7000XXKK5
CSC:N7000XEUKK3
if u want chinese in your menus then u need to flash a rom with chinese support.
However if you jusut want to write chinese you can just install a keyboard (ie. touchpal) from the market and you should be able to after downloading the chinese plugins.
hope this helped
Do u mean I can flash the ROM with the Hong Kong Official ROMS then I will be able to make all the menu and interfaces into chinese?
So I can flash the UK Rom to hk official Rom with no problem ?( as long as i follow the steps ?)
Is it I should use odin to do it?
Thanks so much for advice
you can also transport the chinese input apk and library files to any custom rom. just copy these files over from any stock Hong Kong
/system/app/diopenchineseIME.apk
/system/lib/libdhwrcn.so
/system/lib/libdwpcn.so
/system/lib/libhangulcore.so
/system/lib/libkeyboardcn.so
I think flashing the ROM witb PC Odin is much faster. If you want simplified Chinese flash the PRC ROM.
Of you like Traditional Chinese flash the HK ROM.
Let us confuse the carriers and Samsung!

The simplest thing I recommend the Go keyboard as I'm using the Go launcher. I don't speak or read Chinese, but wife kids and friends all are OK with Go...including using fingers to draw characters onsceen. I don't want to futz with APK's every time I do a new ROM...too invasive from my POV.
I'm not sure flashing any HK/Chinese rom would be wise as the official Chinese roms will be built for the Chinese version of the Note, the i9228, not the European/International i7000 Note that you own.
I've read about people soft bricking their i9228's by flashing an i7000 rom so I guess the other way round would do the same.
I think hocgwai's solution would be the safest.
flash with the chinese rom
Go ahead and flash it baby!!
If whatever you try it doesn't work.
flash back original rom if it doesn't work.
if it still doesn't work, send it back to Samsung dealer for servicing!!
no big deal! samsung servicing is not as crappy as HTC, i hope!
just wondering did you get it working?
i also want to install Chinese on the galaxy note...
also anyone got the files or rom that i need to make this work?
thanks
Singapore and Malaysia firmware support Chinese display and input on the Samsung Galaxy Note.
Yours Sincerely

Hai, bro if you could explain more detail how to put these file inside custom rom such as Alliance Rom Galaxy Note 1. If you have 'Malay/Indonesia' language would better for me to solve my problem. I am hesitance to know more about this step. Thanks in advance.
