[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
settings
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

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?
Thanks

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.

[Q] (Q) No 3G signal after returning to XXJPY, any ideas?

Hello guys!
After getting this phone from a friend i have to return it to stock Froyo XXJPY, coming from MIUI.
I managed to get it back to XXJPY: PDA: I9000XXJPY
PHONE: I9000XXJPY
CSC: I9000XAJPY
Problem: I'm not getting any 3G signals!
And KIES isn't recognizing my phone as something i could flash to the next official update.
Can you guys help me out here? Im not a pro in flashing, though i can learn pretty quick.
<edit> i'm from the netherlands, on Vodafone. (if that matters)

Check your APN settings.
I live in the Netherlands and have a SGS from Vodafone to.
Do this:
"Instellingen -> draadloos en netwerken -> mobiele netwerken -> Namen toegangspunten"
Then press the menu key, en click "nieuwe apn"
You can find the settings here:
http://www.vodafone.nl/zakelijk/kla...n/Instellingen_per_toestel/?#settingslocation
Merk -> Samsung
Model -> i9000 Galaxy S (onderaan)
stel het toestel in voor: Internet op je mobiel
Then there is a small button at the bottom saying "Handmatig instellen? Toon mij de instellingen"
Click it, and there will be the settings you have to enter.
This worked for me too when i flashed using repartition.
Mathijs
PS: if you want to go to JS5 (XEN), here's the download link for ODIN & CWM:
http://www.androidworld.nl/forum/sa...-froyo-xwjs5-flashbaar-via-kies-odin-cwm.html

Okay, thanks!
But is was wondering... I used the EZrom to get back to a sort of stock rom to eventually flash jpy.. But i only did repartition with flashing EZROM... Not with XXJPY...
Is that where is has gone wrong?
Also...when connecting to kies, when i want to look if i have any updates, it tells me CSC: JPY (KOR)
I am not really familiar with this problem, and i haven't ever read or heard anything like this.

Okay, i followed your advise and flashed JS5.
Partial Succes!
I am getting a 3G signal, so that half of the problem is solved!
Now the KIES part:
KIES tells me I still can't update my phone to any future updates..(2.3??)
At Current firmware version it says:
PDA:JS5/ PHONE:JPY/ CSC:JS3 (KOR)
I believe that the CSC is the problem here...could it be?

When playing with roms, it sometimes happens that the productcode gets set to KOR.
I've had something like that ones, but my product code changed to XEE.
I just flashed a dutch firmware like you did, but i factory resetted, then my product code changed back.
So i would suggest you to do a factor reset.
However i'm not 100% sure if it will solve the problem.

I just did, no luck so far.
And it's only CSC on KIES that says; KOR
If anyone can shed some light on this matter?
PS:I want to give a HUGE shoutout to anyone here at XDA for providing the right tools to break free from the leash Samsung/HTC/SE etc. hold us on.

It is the CSC that Kies reads and knows whether to update or not. If you want to do it through kies you have to get the right CSC for your area.

You could try this
dial *#272*imei#*
put your imei in where it says imei. It can be found under the battery.
doing this will show your product code and may also give you the option to select a different one.

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 .

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.

How to get CSC code?

I dialed *#272*emei* But it doesn't give me the CSC. It does nothing when I type in all of that plus my imei. Yes I checked the number a few times to make sure I didn't get it wrong.
How else can I find it? I need it to upgrade I guess as it won't update OS through kies or OTA.

[Q] CSC Unknown

I installed a rooted rom on my s3 mini and all was good. I then installed a csc changer to check what my csc was, when I seen it was SEB I changed it to BTU because I am in the UK. But when the phone rebooted the csc was "unknown" and the csc changer was showing it blank. My problem now is that I have all my back ups on Kies which now will not see my phone. I have searched, found and tried many solutions to this all to no avail. I tried the original SEB unrooted rom, still csc unknown, I tried various rooted roms and none would let me change the csc no matter what app I used. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

try to reflash your ROM with odin as "CSC" not as "PDA" then it should show your right csc code again.

I had this exact same problem when I flashed rooted XXAMA2. All i got was CSC:unknown. Couldn't change it with csc changer.
I had to go back to stock recovery and then flash firmware again with Odin, then I could set right CSC.

make sure you have the correct ROM. Is your device 8190 or 8190N or 8190L? also after flash of ROM and first boot do hard reset.

Have you tried SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 CSC SELECTOR on Play Store, just download/install/run and choose your code, then it works!

Has anyone a link to stock recovery? I´m in a hurry, sorry mates... wanted to get my wife´s S§ mini back to working but nothing helped until now.. will give it a try with the stock recovery and reflashing a Sammy ROM. Sammy ROM´s not a problem, but where can I get that recovery only?!

Thanks a LOT, mate!! That´s what I was looking for
Downloaded modem, stock recovery and TWRP now. Unfortunately I couldn´t get the modem back to be shown as it is (after a ROM update modem changed to XXXX ....... since then IMEI was working though, calls were working too but no mobile internet connection) but mobile internet seems to work again now, too... Very curious so far.
Restoring EFS didn´t work but maybe it will work now as CSC is changed back to DBT now or so.. Sometimes flashing Sammy ROMS as PHONE instead of PDA does work (read that in another thread in here).
Thanks again for your help and have a nice evening!
Cheers!

Well the problem is partly solved.. I flashed stock recovery, stock ROM and that modem you can find in tys0n´s signature. Mobile internet is working again but modem still shows XXXX - weird thing ^^
Give it a try in that way. As it seems this is a possibility to get your device working again.
I´ll continue trying and if I find a way to solve it finally I´ll let you know.
