[Q] Galaxy S I9000 cannot be updated

Hello,
I have this phone and after trying to update it thru Kies I get this message:
This device's version cannot be updated I see also this numbers in the same window:
PDA:JM6 / PHONE::JM1 / CSC:JM4
I'm really new to this and I simply wanted to have Froyo on my phone. Is this possible? I really don't know what this number means. I live in Slovenia (Europe).
Thank you for any kind of advise.

Wait for Official Froyo to be released...You should get it...
However, If you want it right now, than use Ref. heck and see if that gives you...I am using JP6 Froyo , updated via Kies.

Hi,
thanks for ultra fast reply Only one thing - this ref. hack. Was this posted on the forum? Dumb question maybe but I just registered on the forum I want to upgrade because God knows when we will get the upgrade. I hear a lot of countries already has it so.... Thanks again

its a reg hack and froyo has been removed from kies. Read the android development sub forum for details of getting Froyo on your SGS

[Q] Changing ProductCode

Hi, with the latest update of Kies looking like its required for the Froyo update, I'm struggling to update my Galaxy S to an unbranded firmware.
Does anyone know if its possible (and how) to change the productcode of your device? I'm assuming if you can do this to one of the many ones mentioned on this site, then Kies would work without problem?
Any advice much appreciated (have conducted a search and can't find any way to do this so far).
Thanks.

Have you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780509 ?

I'm an idiot. No, my searches didn't lead me to it, which is somewhat embarrassing...
Thanks for pointing it out.
Andy.

Anyway, on my JPY I used superoneclick and it worked like magic.
Just search this forum for SuperOneClick, and follow the instructions in the author's thread.
I just downloaded program, put my phone in USB debug mode, connected phone, launched SUperOneClick, pressed Root button, and that was about it...

u use odin? try using hardcore's kernel K12A. Flash it with odin, and go into recovery. One of the option is to install superuser (root).

Yep. got my phone today from virgin and I can't root it either!
Just ran benchmark score @ 1232

[Q] New User of SGT in Philippines

Hi, Thanks if your reading this and answering me i really can understand what to do so ill just ask so many stupid question and see if you know some of them. so First how do i know if i have a GSM / CDMA?. Next if i got either the two one what is the best way to optimize my Tab. in a certain way that i can root/flash/rom/hack or etc. and my main concern is that if i was to return all it back like a factory restore can it be done?.
So in anyway possible help me i bought my SGT in Philippines and we get like a Open Line SGT i can use all our Telcom providers and use Different Sim Cards so i really can't tell what to do first.

You have the GSM Tab, I'm sure. CDMA is NOT very common in the Philippines, and you have a sim card slot, CDMA doesn't have this.
Also, unless your Tab was illegally imported from somewhere, you have the international version.

I recommend you try out your stock ROM first, and read heavily on these forums. Know your Tab, current firmware, etc..
Once you've decided to play around your tab's ROM, then follow these guidelines. NOTE: It is possible that you will end up with a very expensive paperweight (brick) if you make a mistake somewhere along the way. Tread carefully.
First, enter *#1234# in your phone dialer to get your Tab's firmware.
2nd: backup your data (in Kies) and apps (in Titanium Backup)
3rd: Root your device using SuperOneClick (this voids your warranty)
SuperOneClick with instructions can be found here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4th: Verify that your "bootloader" is not locked. Last few releases by Samsung locked the bootloader so flashing the firmware may damage or brick your Tab.
You can use Bootloader patch to check. It's here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071&highlight=*#1234#
Again, read carefully and follow the directions..
5th: Finally, one of the best ROMs out there is Overcome. You will find all you need here. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
I suggest you print out the included instructions (in pdf). You will also find all the links to files that you need in this thread.
I cannot stress further the gravity of your decisions... .. Follow the steps carefully and faithfully..
6th: If something goes wrong (I hope not), please don't blame me.
Best of luck!
P.S.
I know my reply is a bit long (I've done my homework somewhat), but I'd love to get a small thank you by clicking on this button............................................... --V

Bro im form philippines also. If i were you i dont want to flash my tab. Im just going to wait the gingerbread 2.3. I heard kasi may or june this year....

@Sef_P1000
Thanks for the warning i kinda know Bricking and doing this to Galaxy Tab is Voiding your Warranty but i was so stupid i cant tell if i am using GSM but now for what you told me GSM is a Tab that use Sim and for using my Tab now its kinda great but i wanna maximize my Tab so i can do different things and for now ill just read and read but still going to wait for more things and before i do this i am going to enjoy my Tab. Already Sold my iPad and i kinda want to know if SGT 7" is already good or ill be buying the new SGT 8.9 and 10.1 so for now thank you very much and already reading some files but wish some Filipino already tried this but i think ill do just fine i can understand some part but still need to read first and will ask again if need help. BTW are you a Filipino or ???

I'm a Filipino too.
Voiding your warranty should be no problem since you can unroot your phone back. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that you got the GSM one since as Sef pointed out, it's pretty rare for us to use a CDMA device (partly thanks to our backwards and slow internet back home).
Moreover, to optimize your device, just try the ROMs out. You should read the guides how to flash them, of course, whether you wanna use Heimdall or Odin.

Pinoy ako! Hehehe.. (Im Filipino too! LOL)
I feel the same way now about flashing.. I am confident in doing it but am still doing heavy research. Take note that some roms do not have all the features of the stock rom, and they have bugs too.
Maybe in a month or so, I`ll flash this tab and then update this thread.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Okay Thanks ill be doing it too in a few weeks or months just need to double check some details and if i make it success full ill make a guide how i did mine. wish someone in phil can make a video or guide . i keep hearing that using mod ROMs rocks. but still lets see what happen.

hi bro. im also in the phils. ive got my tab from smart for two months, and i'd say im quite satisfied with the stock rom. with all the posts i read from various threads regarding problems in installing custom roms (the latest, also here, regarding overcome sucking the tab's batt), im not fully convinced to try it. my two cents: why fix something that is not broken?
ive had my sonyericsson xperia x8 also for quite sometime now, and flashing it is much less complicated than doing it in the tab. i simply cant risk bricking my tab!
also,a wk ago i had my tab repaired in samsung head office because of dim display. they replaced the lcd even if my tab is already rooted. so rooting i think doesnt make you lose your warranty! they even upgraded my firmware. love the new date, time and weather widgets.
i will just wait for the gingerbread upgrade this may!

im finding it hard to use kies with the tab here in the office. i already tried two computers, one with xp and the the other with vista. kies in my windows xp laptop at home successfully detected my tab. ill try when i get home, and ill post after.

to my fellow users of sgt here in the philippines: what case are you using with your tab, and where did you get it? i cannot find the best case for sgt here in the philippines.

On my side. It detects my tab but says its version cannot be updated.
As for casing im using a rubber case

[Q] Orange UK firmware

Hello,
This might seem crazy (or at least contrary). I used the kies registry hack in november to upgrade my galaxy S to froyo from an orange branded 2.1 firmware.
I am looking to revert back to the orange 2.1 firmware, and I'm having no luck with a combination of registry hacking and odin flashing.
The long and the short of it is:
Does anyone have the Orange UK branded rom,
I think I am looking for something like PDA:I9000 BVJS4 PHONE: I9000 BVJP4 CSC: I9000 ORAJS4, or more specifically just the orajs4 csc so I can flash it.
I have found a similar one on samfirmware.com, but it is french and some apps are a little funny.
Can anyone help me?

carrier specific firmwares dont tend to exist unless they were copied from when the phoen was released, and are therefore hard to come by! Can I ask why you want to revert to 2.1?

I think the one you are searching for is:
I9000BVJP8/I9000ORAJP8/I9000BVJP3/I9000BVJP8
Using (unpatched/unspoofed KIES) this will offer:
PDA: JS4
PHONE: JP4
CSC: JS4

I hope this can help you. I'm not sure is it the right one or not since u have provided all information. I've just manipulated info to get the right order.
