[Q] flashed with odin, now i want to update the firmware with kies

this is my first thread on xda,
i just have a few questions please answer me if you know bout it.
I bought i9000 from uk which was Orange UK branded. I flashed it to jm5
and now i want to update the firmware to Froyo. However Kies says i have no
update available (which i think its because i flashed with odin)
so heres my questions.
1. i hear if i update it with KIES Registry Hack, i will have wrong IMEI. How can i make my KIES to update my phone to froyo (or at least make it give me any updates) without breaking my IMEI and other things??
2. is there any way i can restore my original firmware which is Orange UK branded?
3. what is the Latest official firmware that's out in UK or in europe?

Why don't you flash froyo then?
I tried i way with the new kies.
I flashed the oldest firmware i could find and it the used the new kies and it did find an update to the latest froyo.
This didn't work before for me.

Ok so you flashed the oldest firmware you could find with odin.then your new kies automatically found your updates?

It worked for me. I did look at samfirmware.com for the oldest firmware. Download it and flashed with odin.
Then kies did think it was so old so i needed froyo. Lol

I have one more question, I am currently using xwjm9 and I got xxje2 for the oldest firmware but I couldn't downgrade it. I guess its because there's only Code file (no csc and modem). is that why I can't downgrade? What should I do? Thank you.

You need a full firmware.
You also need to use pit 512 and use re-partition ticked.
Then wipe the cache and great the internal card and do a factory reset.
That's makevthe phone clean and kies should now upgrade without problem.

[Q] updating through odin or kies

Ok I just got my sgs and I was wondering if I can backup my current build to restore later if any problems should come up and be able to send it to repair (warranty)
Also I want to update to 2.2.1, do I have to update through kies before I flash to darkys or another rom? Or just flash my rom with odin (I'm on 2.1)

Look up Titanium Backup or Clockwork Recovery.

You shouldn't need to. Check the install instructions for Darky's ROM (or whichever you're looking at) to be sure.

Can I roll back on the same configuration if needed? You know if I mess something up really bad and need to take the phone to get serviced?
Merry Christmas

Ok I'm not clear on this ... I install
Clockwork put darks rom on the sdcard flash it etc... My question is if I'm on jm4 can I just do that? Or do I have to first update through kies? Will it update my phone to 2.2 and jpy automatically is what I'm saying ...

[Q] Looking for right firmware (NL)

I'm looking for a stock firmware so Kies can upgrade my firmwares again. Unfortunately I haven't written down the firmware codes before I flashed custom firmwares.
I'm looking for any version which kies recognizes in my area. I bought the tab in The Netherlands without simlock or brands, just plain Samsung. Anyone favours to help me out?

If you connect your tab to kies what is it says? This firmware cannot be updated? Or This is the latest firmware?

I live also in holland if anyone gives me instructions on how to backup my stockfirmware (without my private info) i'll be glad to help. I have a rooted stock firmware with titanium backup installed.

I got cannot update, but after a clean install of Chainfires latest stock rom and changing the CSC to XEU I got it working. Now kies says This is the latest firmware. Exactly the way I wanted it to have.

No More Kies

Hi people. I unrooted my Note using one of Dr Ketans stock roms and PC Odin. All good. Next connected to Kies to see if I could update. Kies recognised the phone but said that by phone can no longer be updated via Kies. Is that how it is after using Odin? Or is there a work-around for that? Or do I have to update with Odin from now on? Or flash myself when the Note update is released. Advice please. Thanks in advance.

If your CSC is not set according your region N/OR Your installed ROM is not yet released for your region, Kies won't recognise it.
e.g. In India Kies released ROM is DDLB2, N previosly it was XXKL3, N before that XXKK3
Now
If at present my Installed ROM is one of abve 3 N my CSC is different
OR
My CSC is set to India but Installed ROM is not 1 of above three
Then Kies says same msg as you said.
So to get update via kies /OTA then
My ROM should be 1 of three (DDLB2/XXKL3/XXKK1 for India) as well my CSC should be set to India(INU), Then only i can get it.

Thanks, I'll check and see.

Kies says This version of the device cannot be updated

i was on checkrom, i restore then flashed back to non root stock gb rom, tried to update, which was downloading and it said "This version of the device cannot be updated" how to fix this?

You can change the csc to match your Rom or flash Rom from where your phone was from. Changing csc will wipe your phone.
