Hi guys,
I have used Odin once before when I broke my phone, i have version I9000XXJPK
Can someone please tell me the version i need to download so that i have official 2.2 for UK spec?
There are so many numbers etc im getting lost off.
I have been on samfirmware and I just cant decide which version i need to be official.
My phone currently cant send SMS and ive read thats because of something wrong with the custom FW i have on. (it was like this when i bought it from the shop second hand)
Thanks

Hey there. It can be a bit confusing, but follow the notes on samfirmware and you should be fine. I upgraded from T-Mobile UK's stock firmware (I forget which version) to JPA, via JM4.
I am using JPA now (again, not sure which provider this is, but it seems to be fairly stock), with no problems.
Make sure you check the notes for each ROM (ie, some have an upgrade path, and some do not). You may need to use a different PIT file and partition accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks mate,
All the release dates are old on Samfirmware, the official froyo for the uk wasnt released until November. the latest firmware on samfirmware is October....
Im really confused how i get from my FW to an official newest froyo. Kies wont work for me at all, tried 3 computers now.
Seriously, screw Kies. It wouldn't upgrade my unit (obviously as there was no provider firmware available), so I patched it with the util posted here and it flashed to about 50% then failed, thus bricking my phone in the process.
If you're not bothered about your provider bloaty junk that ships with the phone, you may as well just bite the bullet and flash JPA or JP0 via Odin. I doubt these are UK specific ROMs (as you mention, Froyo was slated for Nov here in the UK) as samfirmware's are all dated Oct 10, but my phone seems just fine- been using it for around 2 weeks now with no hitches.
Best of luck!
How about installing Doc Froyo custom rom?
It is using froyo 2.2

Okay, I installed Darky's ROM 6.0 and its absolutely amazing, but I wanted my normal T-Mobile UK firmware back on my i9000 (the firmware I got my i9000 with) and I had updated to i9000XXJP3 using Kies on my T-Mobile UK i9000 from 2.1 and it had worked quite well. I wanted that firmware back so I downloaded it and flashed it using Odin, however nothing is working properly (very slow even after factory reset), it connects to Kies but when I go to firmware upgrade on Kies my phone does not show up and last of all it is not T-Mobile UK branded like it was when it came with the phone.
Please I do not want any more rubbish (Darky's ROM 6.0 is not rubbish for the record it is amazing), I would just like the T-Mobile UK firmware that came with my phone the first day I opened it and everything to be like on that firmware. I don't care if it is 2.1 (2.1 came with my phone) I just want that particular, branded, locked firmware back.
Please help.
no one knows what to do? no one can help?
HI i upgraded my T-Mobile sgs to the 2.2 firmware using the kies patcher my question is now is there a way for me to default back to the t-mobile 2.2 software?

Yes use the original T mob rom you saved with Kies Patcher .
Then update to current TMob via standard Kies .
NO SAVED ROM
Read Kies Patcher and find out how to spoof registry and or flash back to Eclair using Odin and then update via standard Kies update .

does anyone know where i could get hold of t-mobile 2.2 samsung galaxy s firmware? or the 2.1 either would be good
Backup original ROM
Is there any way to backup my original (branded) ROM?
I intend to flash another ROM on my phone, the I9000BVJJPD one, which is the same a friend of mine has on his phone, an i9000B from Brazil. He got the 2.2 upgrade via Kies, but mine didn't, so I contacted Samsung and they said that my phone was branded and so it couldn't get the upgrade.
Since both are basically the same models, I wish to flash to the unbranded ROM, but I'd like to keep my original ROM as backup in case something goes wrong. Since it's not available in the web, how can I make the backup myself?
By the way, my current version, from *#1234# is I9000BVJJI1
Hi ,
My girlfriend has had her galaxy s for about 4 months i recently flashed darkys rom onto it, with no problems (excellent rom btw), but now the phone has started doing menu and back on its own randomly making it impossible to do anything on it for longer than a few minutes , its like the soft keys are being pressed (but they arent of course).
I've had a google and came to the conclusion its a hardware fault and not software (ive tried factory reset / re-flashing roms/ kernels) but now i have the problem i cant send the phone back to tmobile with a custom firmware so is there anywhere i can download tmobile firmware and stock kernel to make it like when she got it ?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
In the General chat, there is a link to all the stock roms. Select the one you want and install that one. I am on t mobile in the uk and my code is TMU so that will most likely be fine for you.
By the way - Its exactly what I did last month and they fixed it fine for me with no questions...

hi thanks for the quick response , ive already installed a stock firmware but when the phone boots up it doesnt do the tmobile logo now, plus the firmware i have installed, i'm not sure if thats ever been available on tmobile , which firmware did you send your phone back to them with if you dont mind me asking ?
Hi,
I used the JP1 stock rom here. I remember now that once I installed the stock one I used the Kies registry hack to put the latest t-mobile firmware on there. Then it was branded T-Mobile again. The only problem is that now kies has been updated the Registry hack may not work.
If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help?
CtC
I would blame the rom before the hardware and want a wipe to a very clean phone and install a stock rom .
You cannot download TMobile firmware you need somebody to give it to you unless you backed up your original firmware .
The only way to get TMobiles firmware would be to downgrade your phone to stock Eclair then use Kies to update as normal to Froyo branded TMobile or if that failed use the registry patch .
Fix on a non stock rom is going to depend on the guy that picks the phone up and the problem .

"If I were to send you a nandroid backup of my original T-Mobile rom (I did that when I got a new one!) Would that help? "
It would be brilliant if you could do that, how can you send it though ?
@ jjegan i have completely wiped the phone, changed the firmware to 2.1update1 same problem still exists with the soft keys randomly pressing themselves thanks anyway .
can any one give me some advice about making this phone look as stock uk tmobile as possible before i send it back ?
Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the flashing world and need some guidance.
Current rom:
MODEL NUMBER GT-I9000
FIRMWARE VERSION 2.2.1
BASEBAND VERSION I9000XXJPY
KERNEL 2.6.32.9 root (at) SEP - 51 #1
BUILD NUMBER FROYO .XXJPY
Old Rom:
It was from vodafone, but i can't seem to find exactly what rom it is.
I had a problem with my stock SGS rom and was forced to flash it, but i now have a different rom installed on my SGS, the booting animation (for example) isn't from vodafone anymore.
And KIES doesn't recognize my current rom (for update), so i wanted to know how could i leave everything exactly like it was before. So that i could update to gingerbread the official way and still have a fall back plan.
One last thing, i used odin (v 1.3) to flash it, can i "safely" reverse from 2.2.1 to 2.2 (original from vodafone)? And how?
Thanks again for the help.
I'm very sorry for the long text.
Just use the wonderful & usefull searchbox and find this:
Rom list
Thank you for the reply, i've been on that thread, but still i don't know which is my rom and if the csc will be return to stock.
Thank you again

Stock is not the rom that came with the phone its stock Samsung rom .
You need to have saved your original rom or find somebody that did .
Your Vodaphone upgrade path through Kies will fail as you do not have a Vodaphone rom .
2.2 to 2.1 via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .Just use 2.1 rom from samfirmware .
May help .

Thanks for the fast reply,
Are there any special precautions or guides to revert from 2.2.1 to 2.2?
With the csc. (i've flashed before but i only had one tar file, nothing else).

2.1 revert from 2.2 just flash should be ok problems reflash with pit 512 and repartition checked .

Also dont be to scared of vodafone. If you have a stock Samsung android, instead of the Vodafone, you still have warranty. Only thing that can happen is that when you send your phone in, they'll flash a Vodafone rom back on and you'll be having all the vodafone crap back on it.
Really? That's the best news i've heard, since i had this problem. Thanks a lot, how did you know this?

The terms and conditions do not say you can flash any old rom and not break your warranty .
The position is one with a stock rom you may get away with warranty repairs but it will depend upon who you take it to and even the guy picking up the phone .
Samsung service centre and they may well repair .
Vodaphone service centre and its clear that they do not have too repair as you have broken your terms of warranty with Vodaphone .
So rule one is a back up of your original rom will nearly always be the safest path it also allows you to use the Kies method for official firmware updates if you want to revert back .

Experience: I messed up 2 of my previous phones (SE and HTC) due to flashing firmwares and brought them to T-Mobile and Vodafone, telling them the phone got stuck in boot. They took them in and when I got them back, they had Vodafone and T-mobile firmware on them again.
But as jje stated, its offcourse always the best to have a backup of your phones firmware. Its always possible some annoying Vodafone guy pops up, and makes a big deal out of it.
Thanks for all the input,
I never wanted to flash my sgs, but i screwed up the original rom and the phone didn't boot so it was my last resort.
Due to that i didn't make a backup.
In kies i have my rom as KOR and it says that i can't update, if i that *#272#imei code and put it in XEU, would it work? In theory.

Is there a way to download ROMs from the Kies server so that they can be flashed manually at a later date? I'm thinking that if I need it, I can flash back to the latest H3G branded firmware for warranty purposes.

Their is a post in general regarding Gingerbread JVH and downloading that via FUS . You will need to educate yourself as to how .
