I wonder what determines the upgrade information through Kies?
for example, my phone is from UK orange and locked orignially. The production code is i9000HKDORA. Original firmware: BVJM5/BVJM1/ORAJM3
Does Kies only search the firmware based on the production code only? or need other information together, such as current firmware information?
My current firmware is: XXJF1/XXJF1/XAJF1. I cannot upgrade through Kies although Orange announced the new firmware is available through Kies.
Thanks,
product code = goes to the correct server for Orange
Current firmware code decides upgrade or not .
Both need to orange codes to upgrade .

Well, the upgrade exists for austria/3 now, but I cannot upgrade...
My product code was HKDDBT originally, and even if I change it (nv_data.bin) to the "correct" one - HKDDRE, and have the same firmware version as my dad (who was able to update), it won't let me upgrade...
So, we've called the service center and they said they have no idea, but I can bring in my phone and they'll update it...
So... I guess they do it randomly...

I have no original uk orange firmware as I have flashed to JPO. Do you mean I cannot upgrade due to this issue?
Could you please share the original uk orange firmware to me? Thank you in advance

I am not an Orange user and have no Orange firmware .
If you have flashed to unofficial non Orange firmware you need to downgrade the phone via ODIN to Eclair then try to update to latest Orange firmware via KIES firmware update .

Hi,
Last week, I bought an unbranded Galaxy S on a well known French Site. The phone was unbranded.
I installed the Kies software, and when I plugged my phone Kies told me I could update the firmware. I updated the firmware, and when I restarted the phone, it was not in french anymore, but the language was set to portugese, and my phone was branded for the TMN operator in Portugal.
I'm still able to use my phone with my sim card from belgium, but my phone is full with undesired logos and apps.
I've seen that it's possible to reflash an offficial ROM in the phone, but my version of Kies won't let me do this anymore.
I'd like to update to the latest unbranded French/belgian/The nertherlands version.
Is this still possible? I've found some ProductCode, but I was unable to find a corresponding HIDSWVER.
Thanks!

Hmmm... Sonuds to me like whoever you bought it from had flashed it so that it wiuld seem like it was unbranded but in reality it was a TMN device all along.
I believe that if you have upgraded your kies version to the _100 version then the registry trick will no longer work so you would have to flash it with odin.
If anyone else can chime in or if im wrong then please correct me.

I doubt someone flashed it as i had an original brand new unopened box. It was certainly not second hand.

Well its awfully odd that after flashing to the official froyo firmware on kies that it would just all of a sudden become branded.
Think about this... People use odin and even rhe reghack on kies to upgrade to "unbranded" firmware so it would only make sense that if you flashed using kies official firmware that it would revert the device to its original and branded status.

Unfortunately, that is possible We got many such a reports about phones bought in Polish markets, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8927826&postcount=92
Is Poland some phones were debranded and re-selled by mobile operators to markets. Unfortunately phones didn't get clean ProductCode and that way Kies updated firmware using version for original mobile network operator.
What about downgrading Kies and then doing the reg hack to reflect an unbranded earlier version of the firmware for your region and flashing through Kies again??
Same happened to me, bought the international version at handtec.co.uk, got the phone shipped to Mexico, and first upgrade I did on KIES installed a TMN branded firmware.
I didn't like the branded firmware, specially with all that SAPO apps, I rooted phone, installed titanium backup and deleted all apps, now only problem I have is a dancing "t" character showing on startup and shutdown.
Haven't found the reason for this, or the way to change to a unbranded UK firmware.

This should work. Check the codes for your country either that or reflash it with odin

The solution is written almost in every thread on this forum in last 4-5 days:
You have to downgrade to the older version of Kies, then make changes in the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"=""
"DEVCONINFO"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]
"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"
Then you should be offered to upgrade to unbranded JPO for UK
You would need to flash back to your original vodafone software, as that is what kies is looking for.
I got the text from Vodafone this morning but Kies says
"Current Version: PDA: JM1/PHONE:JG6/CSC:JG7
This device's version cannot be updated"
Could this have something to do with the fact that I originally updated to the Nordic Froyo in September via a registry hack and then went back to JM1 via Odin flashing?
I was hoping I could return to branded official Vodafone Firmware incase I need to return under warranty.
i have same problem, was instal froyo from here now have I9000XXJP2 and can update to official froyo pleas help
On the suggestion of somebody in a different thread I reflashed to JM1 firmware and now the error message is
"Current Version: PDA: JM1/PHONE:JM1/CSC:JM1
This device's version cannot be updated"
Anyone got any ideas?

How would I do that?
forget kies. install the rom separately from samfirmware.com. get yourself odin to do it.

i'm sure someone on here will get there hands on it eventually and publish a link.
You need to an older version of kies and search on here for the kies registry patcher. Check out the vodafone eforum for a how to.

It looks for the Orange product code then the Firmware version .
eg Product Code xxxxO2UK Firmware xxxJF1O2UK
The server picks that as O2 UK phone and O2 out date firmware and upgrades .
One of those codes wrong and it wont proceed .

Hi guys,
I am new to this forum.
I just bought my New Samsung Galaxy S with Orange UK network which is network locked.
PDA : I9000BVJG2
PHONE : I9000BVJF3
CSC : I9000RAJG2
Firmware:2.1-update1
Build number: ECLAIR.BVJG2
I have unlocked this mobile in INDIA. So, now can I update my SGS to latest version of FROYO?? Some of them said that as I have unlocked my SGS if I update it there is a possibility of locking the phone. Is it true?? If so please suggest me an alternative of how to update my SGS to updated FROYO without locking my SGS.
Phone is Orange UK phone so if Orange UK have an update to Froyo it will update via Kies firmware update .
Locked or unlocked makes no difference the server reads the phones embedded data product code = Orange UK .
jje
Thanks jjE
Can you provide me with the link for orange update to froyo please
Read your instruction manual use Kies softwate to upgrade or go to an Oranfe service centre .

Hi,
I'm a brazilian beginner in Android.
I can't update my SGS with KIES, even using the Patcher.
Using the version KIES 1.5.3.10103.102 and Kies Patcher 1.7 , it shows no upgrade to my phone.
I bought it on EUA, it's unlocked.
PDA: JG5
Phone: JG7
CSC: JG4
Frmware version: 2.1 update 1
kernel version: 2.6.29 latin.umtsAsamsung#2
Eclair.ubjg5
Does someone could help me? What could be happening?
I really want to upgrade to FROYO via KIES.
Thanks in advance

Has your network a Froyo update .Network as in the original network provider that the product code is tied to .
jje
Sorry, i thought here was the correct section.
How can i check about you said of network?
Thanks
Ask your network .

JJE,
Even my SGS been UNLOCKED?
Thanks
If you can figure out what the firmware for your region is for Froyo you can update it using Odin even if you particular network provider doesn't have an update available for your particular phone.
Your phone branded = xxx Froyo update via Kies for that brand .
Unlocked is Sim only phones product code remains with original network seller .
Unlocking is only removing restiction to use a network .
If you have Sim for ZZZ on a XXX branded unlocked phone the product code for the phone and firmware is still the original xxxx and will update to that via Kies .
Other methods strictly speaking void your warranty .
Want firmware for the network you are on then Kies Registry patcher and spoof the product code to your new network .
Or via Odin use a generic non branded Samsung firmware to update .

I want to update just with KIES, like a official update. i have some fear about use ODIN.
JJE: I will try differents code on Kies Patcher to see with it recognizes the update. Thank you very much.

I tried all codes of BRAZIL but nothing happens.
I have a doubt, my phone is:
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUUBJG4
Should i try the code referring this "TUB" from my phone??
Thanks!!
