i have just bought last week a SGS GT-I9000T, i have searched the whole of the galaxy range of forums on here and only found two with links to I9000T, the rest of the details for this phone is : Model Name: GT-I9000T
Current Version: PDA-JJ1/phone:JI1/CSC:JI1
and the info from About phone Firmware Version 2.1-update!
Basebandversion I4000tdoJ1!
Kernal Version 2.6.9 [email protected] #2
Build Number Eclair.Dojj!
does the above mean that my phone is rooted ?? i know it shows root in the kernal, but i do no have superuser and im still locked in with NZtelecom, any info or help would be really appreciated many thanks and regards to all..
No, root in the kernel version doesnt mean its rooted.
What is it exactly that you want root for?
A bit more info and we can point you in the right direction
For rooting try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Just make sure your 3 button recovery mode works. If you do than its a matter of trial and error for trying custom roms etc because arent you on 850htz band?
Surely he can update to Froyo on Kies
Froyo not in nz or aus yet so its either kies hack or european froyo.
awsome guys many thanks and the very best of regards...

Hi All and many thanks for your input with this, as stated froyo is not available in NZ yet, but my problem is that the phone is tied to Telecom XT and we have four main carriers is NZ them being Telecom XT, Vodafone, 2Degress and Telstra. the first I9000T that i got was tied to Vodafone and i took it back to the shop as i wanted a phone that would work with 2Degrees, and preferably on all frequencies so i had the option to change sims if i wished, so the second phone that i was given was tied to Telecom XT, then i am told that the phone will not work with 2 degrees and they were not willing to order a phone in for me, so we reached a compromise on the phone, they took $200 off of the cost and threw in a 8GB sd card. ok so back to my question i need to root the phone so that it will work with 2Degrees and get rid of the bloatware at the same time. and to update to froyo would be a bonus for me.
the three button recovery does work and i have just now managed to root the phone, after reading lots of pages of info on the subject, what i was doing wrong is not using the volume key and starting the update with the power button, a pretty simple mistake but it was really frustrating and i don't really remember reading about it in all of the info that i found on how to do this.
so thanks to all i am now rooted and just have to update to froyo, so more reading to get there.
just one thing that i have noticed between the two phones i was given and i might be wrong here, but after taking the back off of the phone and where the sim card goes there looks like another sim slot between the usable sim slot and the edge of the phone, but the first phone and i am pretty sure on this did not have in the back as it was covered by black plastic without any holes in it, i will try and post a pic of the back that is in this phone, so we can compare and see if there is anything in this.
so once again many thanks for all of the help, and with the very best of regards to all

Froyo ?
while i now have super user status kies tells me that my device is unable to be updated ? any one have an idea or any info on this, once again many thanks to all and the very best of regards
welcome to the joys of kies... i think most people here use odin to flash there roms maybe thats a option you could use quick easy and plenty of custom roms on this site to try.

Hey,
Got a i9000t and went a bit to far with the Telstra bloat ware kill. Now cant seem to download anything from market and also get a "com.google.process.gapps" error on start up.
I figured re-flashing the original firmware via kies would be a given.
I was wrong.
Any idea's on how to revert back to the out of the box Telstra bloat ware and start again?
I've found the reg edit way for the optus firmware codes and the canadian firmware but would prefer to go back to telstra.
Any advice would be great I'm at a loss.
before we begin... can you confirm your 3 buttons to be working?
once you get the 3 buttons to work into Download Mode
you are safe to flash with Odin
then you can even install another ROM to recreate all the missing stuff you deleted
you need to select the Re-Parition option
depending on what you download from Kies, some ROM will and will not repartition depending on the options specified in the package from factory
so it seems like the one you were trying to re-install didn't have that enable so it did not restore the other stuff you were hoping to get back by installing the ROM
You can try flashing the JH2 ROM, then you can revert back to another version you like after that
Telstra i9000 has a 850Mhz radio too, so you may need to keep that in mind when flashing...
As to your question, you'd have to find the original Telstra firmware to flash it, and I don't think there is any around, since it's just come out. You'll probably have to find some alternate firmware to flash unfortunately. Check what version you're running if you want to try and match it, but the Telstra stuff you deleted is gone for now.
Otherwise, someone with the Telstra version may be able to provide you with a nandroid backup to restore, but there probably aren't many people who have the Telstra version at this early stage (OT - I'm surprised to hear people actually taking up their insane pricing for the SGS).
It's a little late for this advice, but I'm sure you'll heed it in future: get yourself Titanium Backup, and ROM Manager and take full backups before you go messing around with /system.
3 button restore is working. Lucky me got a good one.
I ended up just tracking down the apps I shouldn't have deleted and was lucky to get it back.
There's still no one out there who's put up the Telsta rom so I think I might make a back up now
BTW I got the sgs on the $49 + $16 handset which gives me $400 worth of calls but only 200mb. The plans were not as bad as originally feared.
I hate Telstra but the coverage is second to none and I require it for work. The price isn't that bad for what you get.
Thanks for your advice at least I know what to do when a decent rom comes out now.

$65 p/m with 200mb of data is pretty terrible (for me at least). I was really hoping they'd be more competitive, because - as you say - their network really is the only reliable network in the country, but I'm only on a 12 mth contract, so hopefully they sort their act out next year
Glad to hear you got sorted in any case.
Plus,the Telstra SGS is the 8GB model,correct?
Yeah,
Another little kick in the nuts. They only stock the 8gig model.
Still haven't looked into if a larger SD card can still take it to 32gig total like the others.
Hope so.
Here are links to the original JH3 Telstra firmware. PDA and CSC files.

You are The Man!
I hope it works, I've been searching for this since day 1!
Thank you very much!
Btw, which update did you use to root the Telstra ROM?
Thanks again!
Hello Bushpig

I flashed my i9000T, with telstra firmware, FW only,
it reboots and errors, so I did a wipe via recovery, then a cache wipe.
reboots and goes to the Telstra NextG splash screen, then to the "S" screen, does the Samsung sound then goes blank – menu and back buttons will glow white if touched but nothing else
Which is the problem ?
thanks
Used 512 pit

Agreed... my bad.
does your 3 button recovery work? if so go into recovery mode (power + home + up) and tell me what errors down the bottom of the boot screen appears.
hi what about the modem .tar , does it need to be flashed all together..
ive flashed my sgs many times and use different modem files also, so to reflash using telstra firmware do you need the modem file?
please advice
im pretty sure you dont have to use the csc file or the phone just the pda file which is the add u t which is extracted from the rar and the 512 pit file.....please quote me if im wrong tho as im a lil new to this all
im having troubles myself getting coverage any ideas? anybody sorry to be a pain just really wanna use my 2 day old phone
Dear all
I write this post as I hope to get some input and some expert suggestions on the course of action I should take with my phone.
For many years I have been supplied with a phone through my company but it seems to be always the crappy old Nokia. Good for making telephone calls but worthless for anything else.
So recently I bought a Galaxy S on a business trip to China. I love the phone, it works and by now I have almost no Chinese letters and applications left anymore. This is really something else; I'll never go back to the company Nokia. Never!
I think most of the applications are working and I have access to the Android Marked. However, Youtube is not installed or working and I think that the GPS is a little off.
Now I read a lot about Froyo and I bet I would want to get that on my phone, I am also pretty sure that I want to get the phone totally de-Chinese and preferably into something Danish or at least English.
What do I do next?
I have been reading so much on this site that I am getting dizzy. Flashing, rooting, updating, kies(hey, I actually got it working now (again) ) Odin, JM1, JPK etc.
Now my phone has the following;
ProductCode: I9000HKDVD2
PDA: I9000XXXXX
Phone: I9000BUJG1
CSC: I9000GVD2JG1
SalesCode: VD2
Reading through posts on this forum I never saw anyone with the same codes as mine.
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR
As mentioned, I bought the phone in China and I have no idea if it is branded (with Google printed on the back cover) has been unlocked, but I suspect it has. It has been rooted (I have a little black ninja guy giving Superuser Permission) and there is a folder-like icon named "root(and some Chinese letters)"
Well, as I said I have Kies running again. First it was running fine then it stopped connecting to the phone and now after unmounting the external SDcard I can again access the phone from my PC.
Through Kies I can do a firmware update. But should I?
Will it be re-locked?
Will it get all the Chinese stuff back?
Will it somehow be converted into a European phone?
Should I wait for the official Froyo or just go ahead and update?
I can update again when the Froyo finally arrive?
Do I need to make backup of any of my "system" files before doing anything?
Any help suggestions and/or warnings will be appreciated.
If you can do an upgrade through Kies it will aslo tell you what the update is (JG2 for example) since you have what I gues is a chine salescode, you will probably get a chinese update .. What you can do, is goint to the devlopers section and read the topic about spoofing your productcode in the registry so Kies thinks you have phone from another provider / country than that what you have now
I am almost certain that if you can enter an old danish firmware in the registry and a danish productcode you will get offeren a new new danish firmware through kies ..This will not relock your phone ( if it was locked before) as far as I know only the froyo builds will do that.
I have been reading some more on the forum and found that the phone is actually branded.
Model [Country of Origin](Branded Phone Carrier) = Code
I9000 [Germany](Vodafone) = GT-I9000HKDVD2
I have also checked out the 3-button combo which seems to be disabled on my phone. I'll get this fixed before doing anything.
So I want to update to the froyo release and will probably be uding the Kies hack to do this. I'll use the XEE code which I believe will give me the danish language as an option.
Do I need to make backup of some of the system files before doing this?
In some poste there is talk about backing up some system files before upgrading as there is some information which is needed to unlock the phone again.
Well. I am still investigation this issue.
Now I am looking into using odin and firmware from samfirmware . com. Probably to JPA or JPO? Then I have been reading about the DocRambone ROM and will probably try that.
However they suggest to "- Check Simlock and Network lock is OFF *#7465625#". When I do this I am promted with a "Rejected" message.
Can anybody please tell me what this means?
I do not want to start messing with it before I know that the phone will not be locked after flashing to new firmware?
If it will be locked then what is the procedure of unlocking anagin. I have already made backup of the "nv_data.bin.md5" and the "nv_data.bin". Having these files is the same as having backup of the /efs? Reason for asking is that I cannot find /efs on the root of my phone.
Please help!
Hi,
I've recently moved from Australia to the USA (with an AT&T sim) and would like to upgrade to 2.2. Kies still does not have an image available so I'm looking to flash it myself but not sure which ROM file to use.
The phone is unlocked and unbranded. The version details are:
PDA: I9000DTJG4
PHONE: I9000DTJG3
CSC: I9000XSAJG2
I've been reading about the I9000UGJK3 image but I believe that installs the Bell branding on the phone, which I'd like to try avoid.
Which image should I be using?
Thanks
Ivan
use information from this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810232
to locate your code
then use information from this topic to flash your phone, using the ROM for your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
if the KIES comes back with no results for Froyo, then that means it has not been released yet for Australia region, and you will have to pick from any of the other flavours available
or stay in 2.1
Thanks for the quick reply.
According to regedit I have a GT-I9000HKAXSA. This doesn't seem to be listed as a "known" product code just yet. Which might explain why Kies doesn't have an update for it yet.
I guess what I'm trying to determine is a) can any image be placed on any phone? b) if yes, then what would be the best image if I wanted to flash my phone and have it work in the USA on AT&T (I'm trying to make sure that my correct 2/3G bands are still going to work post flash)
Dude, I did this tonight and it worked
http://webtrickz.com/how-to-update-...oid-2-2-froyo-via-kies-anywhere-in-the-world/
And I'm in Australia on the optus network
I just couldn't believe the lag and I didn't want to root my phone just yet
I also couldn't believe that Vodafone got froyo straight out of the box!
when it says "refresh" after you've done the regedit bit it means hit your home button. worked straight away
Vodafone straight out of the box?!? Where did you hear that? Not true I'm with vodafone australia and we got eclair, I did the reg edit to get XXJPO like you

Thanks Guys, I managed to sort this by using Odin and putting I9000XWJPA on it. Almost bricked the thing b/c I didn't read all the documentation completely!
Seems to be working like a charm at the moment.
I recently purchased a Galaxy Note (Unlocked) and am loving the device. I was reading online that there was a newer open european firmware (LA3) but was perplexed as my phone was saying there are no upgrades for it. I installed Kies (the UK version) and it updated it's self to 2.2 yet it still does not show any newer firmware than what is on my phone (KKA).
Is there a way to force Kies to let me update? or am I missing a step (I never did create a samsung account).
Thank you in advance...
Hi there,
I also recently purchased a Note, and have been spending FAAAR tooo much time lurking on this forum trying to work out whats what with rooting/roming and all things GNote.
Fairly new to all this android malarky and tbh i'm kinda just responding to your question as a way to clarify what, i have, thus far, gleaned from by lurksome xda ways! And as an attempt to stop lurking so much and try and give back some of the understanding xda has given me.
Your question is something I was also rather confused by, but from what I understand - It seems that Samsung rolls out OTA and Kies updates to phones with different CSC codes at different times.
I think it is only the German (DBT) phone which has had the latest LB1 update. I know that my XEU phone is also still on KKA, with no ota or kies updates available.
From what I understand, the way one gets the updates without rooting is through flashing them with a Windows app called PC Odin with the phone in download mode.
Or via rooting your KKA rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
and then flashing the updated firmware with either Mobile Odin or Clockwork Mod.
In all cases I believe you must download the firmware from either the sammobile site or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If any (or all!) of that is totally wrong - please someone with greater experience wade in and put me straight, but I just thought that seeing as no-one else had responded - i'd try and make something of all the hrs i've spent lurking on here since i got this phone
Anyhow I'm sure if you just follow the links i've posted to the brilliant work of Dr Ketan - you won't go far wrong
Personally, I've not actually put any of this to the test yet - wanna make sure I really do know my arse from my elbow or in this case - my dalvik from my build.prop before I go messing with a £500 phone....

I appreciate the help to answer your question you are in part correct (from what I can gather). Samsung does issue updates based on CSC codes and there is nothing for the UK CSC code. However they also release what is called open updates. Meaning any carrier in a given country can use a open update for that country. Beyond that they release what is called open European updates that any unlocked phone in Europe can use.
My question is the latest open European update is LXA or LLA or something like that which is farther along than the KK5 I am on. Since it is open European I should be able to update to it I would think. There could be something to the fact that the UK is considered part of the EU so it might not fall under even an open European release and if that is the case than so be it.
I am just trying to find out why my unlocked international version of the note can not seem to update to the latest open European update
Ok, so from the sounds of it - i think your definitely better informed than me on Samsung update protocol
Haven't heard any of that before. I was under the impression that the XEU code was the unlocked open euro code....
Anyway, just thought i'd let u know that i took the plunge today - deciding that I trusted XDA more than Samsung to update my phone
Rooted my stock KKA rom using dr ketans posts as my guide, then flashed the stock LB1 firmware and have since flashed Franco's kernel.....all seems well so far
Although one thing i did notice is that my Antutu score was significantly lower after flashing Lb1, but before flashing Franco's kernel (haven't tested since)....
Anyway good luck waiting for an official update - in my limited experience - I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for OEM's to issue OTA updates...

This is cool. But how to find whether my phone is locked or not?
And what about if we try to involve the Samsung support on this question? I'm also stuck with kk5 and i'm also in Europe.

If you want to know what region your phone is from plug it into the computer after you have installed samsung kies. Once you do if you look at the screen for your phone you will see three sets of letters and numbers. The last one in the string will have your CSC once you get that do a google for where it is from.
If you are on kk5 like me then you probably have a UK code.
An phone is unlocked by default when you import it from Europe as they use a different model for cell carriers than we do in the states.
The simple way to get the latest updates is....change your CSC with *#272*imei# in the dialer pad to the lastest update ( csc)! You don't need root or odin or mobile odin. Just change your country code. This will wipe your phone...but after restart you will get a promt to update your software as soo. As wou are connected to a wifi. There are many post about it...the csc change is described in sgs2 foruns and all over the net. About the country code, please visit sammobile.com and in firmware section you will find detailed info about those codes.
P.S. My note was originaly in XEH ( open Hungary), I'm from Romania so I changed my CSC to Open Germay (DBT-debitel) and after restart i got 2 consecutive updates.
Hope to help, sorry for my bad english

The easiest way to get updates is via XDA. Download PC Odin, and choose whatever Rom you fancy from the first sticky thread in Note development.
Hey everyone i have had massive problems with the IMEI on my i9000 finally managed to flash back to stock ROM but im still getting no signal. The IMEI is fine and i have a backup of the efs folder saved. What files do i need in this folder as i will delete all of the contents then start again.
Thanks
If your still getting no signal but are not getting "No Service" then either the modem you flashed in the stock ROM is utter pants for specific handset so trying flashing a different modem or a different ROM altogether :/
But if a different modem or ROM doesn't fix it then you have a antenna problem... sorry bud
Hey mate,
Cheers for the reply. I will try a new ROM can you recommend any small ROM's that will work on my device? I don't know a great deal abour ROM's and flashing in general tbh.
I need to finish my guides badly! Then I'd just be able to point you towards them :/
But since their not... cause I've been lazy, please head over to SamMobile/ and create an account if you haven't already done and download the correct firmware for you i9000.
Getting the right firmware is difficult, it's even more difficult since I'm guessing you don't know the PDA build from what the phone was running originally... for example by phone when I got it was running I9000BVJV7 which is actually Android 2.3.3 for the UK and sim locked to Orange.
When you take into account that the Android version, the country and the carrier have an effect on the specific firmwares for two (on the face) identical phones you can begin to see how many millions of different firmwares there are out there just for one phone...
So just try your best and read all the helpful info on SamMobile. If you get really really stuck or if something nasty happens to the phone while flashing either come back to this thread or PM me and I will talk you through a recovery kit that will hopefully restore the phone to a stock ROM (but not official stock ROM).
Since you're new to flashing please be reminded flashing can completely kill a phone to the point of no return, having said that I must have flashed a million times in both ClockworkMod and Odin but that doesn't mean death can't happen at any time.
Thanks mate i really am grateful for the help. I will give that a go and see what i can find.
Downloaded all of the vodaphone rom's and all of the orange roms. The device was used on vodaphone and im still getting the same error :/ any more ideas?
