Are you trying to go back to factory firmware? If so I believe you can find that here

[Q] Im new, why I cant update my samsung Galaxy s to 2.2

Hi all.
Could anyone tell me why I cant update my samsung Galaxy s to 2.2,
its on o2 but the phone was on orange if thats any help.
Iv downloaded kies and it says there are no updates for my phone so can you help me?
Ive updated my girlfriends phone and she has got the same phone me
She can update it again now.
Allso we cant send mms:mad
Pete.
Hey there
Responding to you're message.
Im having this same problem with my girlfriends phone.
Everytime I try to update her phone it says that it cannot upgrade her phone.
I updated mine to 2.2.1 now. Her phone is still on 2.1-update.
Her buildnummer is I9000XXJF5.
Either she does not recieve my MMS.
Very strange.
P.s. Im from holland, and the phone arrived in Germany Language.
Please, need some help.
Your apn settings will be different on o2 if the phone is from orange which is why probably both internet and mms doesnt work.
Don't know why kies isn't playing ball, make sure u have the latest version.
I'd suggest changing to a stock firmware from samsung. E.g. The latest jpy firmware.
First thing is to check the 3 bitton combo works, if it doesn't then there is a really simple windows based fix for this on this forum that doesn't require any programming or command line stuff.
Next, visit samfirmware, sign up free, download odin and firmware. Follow instructions to a T. Install jpo firmware first as it's v2.2 then you can go for jpy as the v2.2.1 is really a vast speed increase.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thanks for getting back,
Ive done all the setting with o2 and still dont work.
I did the three button combo and reset my phone and put all the setting back in still no good.
Ive done all this visit samfirmware, sign up free, download odin and firmware. Follow instructions to a T. Install jpo firmware first as it's v2.2 then you can go for jpy as the v2.2.1 is really a vast speed increase but it would not download.
My phone numbers Pda jf3 Phone jf3 and Csc je5 if this helps
Cheers Pete.
If your phone is O2 UK you get update to )2 firmware .
If its an Orange product code phone you need to check Orange has updated the firmware .
jje
you could always do what i did with my o2 uk phone that wouldn't upgrade to latest version...im guessing that you may still be on JM1 software? [thats what mine was].
all i did was download the Kies registory patcher and use it to tell kies that i was on XEU firmware. next time i connected to kies it told me there was an upgrade available to JPY [2.2.1].
hope this helps, Matt

[Q] Wanted UK Android 2.2.1

Hey this will sound like a seriously stupid question but anyone got official UK Carphone Wharehouse Android 2.2.1 for me to use with odin
Trying to switch back to uk cos kies is seeing it as a XEE which i think is a Sweeden rom.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
if you bought from carphone warehouse then your phone should be unbranded. You just need to visit samfirmware.com and download the required samsung firmware and flash with odin.
Thanks!
only one small problem i have absolutely no idea which one is for CPW and which is for the UK specifically
There is a *# code you can enter to change from XEE to XEU but I am not sure if it has CPW and an option and I cannot remember the code. Perhaps someone else does?
Thanks for the info, if anyone else can help that would be great.
found the code cant make it work
quick update i found a website saying that i should enter *#272* imei# but i get to the screen i see the product code and then what i cant select it or anything, any ideas?
Thanks!

Right, go to

about phone
status
IMEI number is in there
make a note of it
go to phone dialer, then enter *#272*YOUR IMEI NUMBER GOES HERE#
another screen will give you the option to change to CPW, it is in there
Hope this helps

thank u
Hey tojj,

All you need to do is flash the JPY CSC, that will get you CPW and XEU as it's a multi-CSC, If you're interestedm here's a link to a JS5 / JPY / JP5 ROM package that you can flash to get the latest stock JS5 PDA with the JPY CSC and JP5 (UK Vodafone) modem. I use it on my phone and it works great, flash it with Odin with no PIT or repartition selected. Root with SuperOneClick: http://www.multiupload.com/Q1O3GP6AJP
Hey
Thanks, will download the file and try and flash the jyp csc to the phone and chnage the product code.
i am on cpw phone using o2 this i think would change that, am i correct?

The JPY CSC has the CPW files included so if you phone is currently configured as CPW then it will stay CPW, if it is configured as another product code (eg. XEN), flashing this CSC will allow you to go back to CPW. You can go back by entering the following on the phone dialer keypad (IMEI = your phone's IMEI!) *#272*IMEI# Then select the product code you want and you're away! Be aware that this product / sales code reset will do a factory reset on your phone so you will have to re-root and reinstall all your apps. Good luck!
It worked!
Wohoo!
thanks to all that helped.
installed i9000XXJPY through odin and changed the product code to CPW. am atm debating to install lagfix, seems to run fairly well
Again thank you!

Glad to hear you got it working! You shouldn't really need a lag fix with 2.2.1 as the horrible lag we used to get with 2.1 and 2.2 is gone. Some folk do install lagfixes (although I don't myself) and the favourite seems to be an EXT4 one these days.

The location has nothing to do with the update from kies. Even our friend Darkpal told us so here. I am in the Middle East(UAE) yet I was able to update to the latest Asian firmware although my tab has CSC for Philippines. There is also one report here of somebody from Malaysia who has updated to JPD.....
And even if he cannot update using kies I already provided the DXJPD file for him to flash.
CHEERS!
after tried with kies for my whole saturday daytime, i am still unable to upgrade tru kies. restart phone, computer, reinstal everythings. finally, i am almost give up. so, just use the one you gave= DXJPD.

Do you have a carrier locked galaxy tab?
no. it is unbranded gtab. i tried also your gingerbread (DXJPD). unfortunately it stuck at samsung glow text. go to recovery, it said E partition not mounted. now revert back to froyo.
my step using odin: put the.tar in PDA and click start with .pit file empty and repartition untick.

Is it possible...

I installed the Gingerbread update off samfirmware on my samsung galaxy s but i would like to go back to the official firmware for vodafone UK so i can just continue updating through Kies, is it possible and if so how??
Sorry if this is in the wrong place but i have been searching the net for ages and i can't find anything and all i keep seeing is this site so i thought you guys might be able to help me.
Reinstall the original firmware you saved .
Another one that did not save then you might find somebody with firmware saved .
Or you flash stock rom via Odin use registry spoof method to try to update to Vodaphone current firmware .
Kies only updates original firmware .

It is quite simple. Disable any lagfix or ext4 conversion (if any) back to RFS. Flash via ODIN with preferably 512 pit & repartition (it will save you a lot of time & less opportunity of errors appearing afterwards). I would also suggest you to make a backup of your data & do a factory reset before flashing back.....
On youtube are many tutorials how to flash back to your stock rom.
example:
search: samsung galaxy s flash stock rom
-> the first video
stock roms you can download in this forum
I do not have the original VodaFone Firmware, That's why i need to change this current firmware so i can update it via Kies to the original Vodafone uk firmware, i do not know nothing about lag fixes or anything, i just used odin to update my phone to V2.3.3, i followed simple instructions to do it, it was my first time doing anything to my phone, i know i should of read into it etc....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
Basic faqs .
Roll back to 2.2.1 from Beta 2.3 Gingerbread .
Post 2 but you are as always at risk of bricking your phone .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033781
Kies will only update stock 2.2 .1 to Vodafone firmware if you spoof the registry as posted .It will not update to Gingerbread until Gingerbread is released .
jje
I'm not very good at these things and i know i shouldn't of done it in the first place but i don't understand those instructions, is there no way anyone has it or can get it for me? or extract it from there phone or something like that?
No nobody seems to bother keeping original firmware >Try a Google search for Voda firmware .
Flash back to stock Eclair 2.1 and try below to spoof Kies.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
That fails then your update path is via Odin .
jje
Hi, thanks alot for your time to reply to me, i have currently rooted and i have SpoofFW but when it says choose preset i dont have any in the drop down box and i need a Vodafone uk one, any help here mate?
I have posted the codes you should use in SpoofFw thread, but here you go again.
The codes can be found in the presets as UK (Vodafone) and is
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDVOD
PDA: I9000BUJG2
CSC: I9000VODVOD
Phone: I9000BUJG1
An alternative is to use Check Fus Downloader with which you can download the latest official firmware for UK Vod (I9000BUJS3) and flash that file with Odin. The app can be found in my signature.
Hi, thanks alot mate, can you please guide me through how to do it as when i try and find the preset on your app, there is none there! just blank, so i tried typing it all in and following instructions but it hasn't worked could you please explain?
It still says... This device cannot be updated and still gives me my normal product code etc...

make sure you are connected to internet when you start the app, and try use Refresh preset in the menu. also make sure you have busybox installed.
first hit Backup. put the info above in the fields. and hit step 2 ok. Then press reboot, and start the app again. put the same info as before in the fields and hit ok on step 3. Conenct to Kies.
you can send me your complete log right after hitting step1 button if anything goes wrong.

[Q] Help with Samsung Galaxy S Telstra

Hey,
I tried flashing a rom onto my SGS but long story short into the process I messed it up and it wouldn't work.
I then accidently flashed an optus rom I had downloaded from samfirmware.com soon after I was unable to make calls/text/use internet.
I took it to Telstra and they said I needed to get the optus firmware off and put Telstra Firmware on if this is true I've looked everywhere used search functions etc and still cannot find the firmware.
Could someone please link me it most of the links are megaupload or expired. I installed a customrom (darkys) successfully thinking it would fix my problem however it did not I've checked the apn settings and my imei both are correct also another weird thing is when I search network operators I only get Vodafone and optus no Telstra I wonder what could be the cause to my problem? It would be appreciated if someone can link me to a download of a Telstra Samsung Galaxy gT i9000 stock rom as I cannot find one on samfirmware thx or link me via samfirmware if there is one
EDIT: forgot to say its not the sim I tested it already on another Galaxy S phone
