[Q] can't update to froyo on my SGS

how can i update to froyo my sgs 2.1 update 1?kies doesn't find any update for the current firmware:i9000xxjpk, the phone is vdf branded and unlocked..

Has your network released an update via Kies is your first question to solve .

I think you should update you sgs to 2.2.1 through Odin
But first of all, make sure you have the 3 combo buttons enabled

when connected to kies it says: this device version cannot be updated,im in Roumania,using an orange SIM, the phone is vodafone branded,then unlocked.
the baseband is i9000XXJPK JM5.

Kies will only update if the phones product code hardware code etc match up with the firmware for that phones product code on the server .
Its the Vodaphone firmware that has not yet been updated by Vodaphone on the server i would guess .
Alternative is to flash an update via Kies but this is at your own risk and may invalidate your warranty and has a small chance of bricking your phone .

You can also have a loo k at the rom kitchin as another choice .

[Q] Custom Rom back to Samsung Stock? (Without having a Backup)

Hi,
I have had different Custom Roms on my Samsung Galaxy s i9000!!
Now I have the ultimate rom on it but I want to go back to the samsung Stock rom, because I want to sell my phone!!!
But how can I get back to my Stock????
I dont have any backup!!!
Any idea or help?
Thanks

no need any backup, if you remember the build number of the rom then you can download it at samfirmware.com all SGS roms are there for download
or just tell me the build number and will give you the link
sample for build number : DXJG4 or XXJPM or ....

I don`t remeber the build number...I just know that it was andorid 2.2.1!!
Do you have any instruction how I get the stock installed on my phone? Is it the the same way like wit the custom roms or an other?

these are not custom roms they are stock rom, you can flash them by Odin go to samfirmware.com and choose your rom base on the area you live (there is a guide for decoding the build number for the locale and language) you can find tutorial for odin in xda forum

Any hint which Firmeware I should take?
2.2.1?
2.3.3?

2.3.3 is Beta .

When I have the stock rom back on my phone, can I use Kies again or do I have to unroot it?

Kies will probably be unable to match the stock rom with network providers firmware . In which case you need to spoof the firmware update .

Kies upgrades firmware from product code firmware id and hardware ID

Your firmware will code will not match .

[Q] Downgrade from 2.3.3 to Official 2.2.1

Hello there, my phone is an European factory unlocked, unrooted that i have upgraded to I9000XXJVK some weeks ago.
I'd like to know if it's possible to downgrade back to an official 2.2.1 so i can start again updating from Kies. I'd also like to know which Android ROM is official because there seems to be plenty of them.

All Android roms are official use the latest one for your phone .
All Android roms are stock Samsung roms not the branded rom that came with your phone .So no upgrade from Kies as Kies only reads branded phones id .

Kies upgrade fom 2.2 will require spoofing fw .

What do you mean with branded? I bought my phone from Samsung and not from an Operator

In which case downgrade current firmware to one below the latest one for your phone on Kies . Then try Kies if it fails its due to your Product Code changing with the JVK flash . You may need to use spoof fw to change product code .

Branded as in Kies upgrades network branded phones by a matching product code if you have changed firmware via Odin codes may be incorrect .

Hi there
I actually did this today (as I want to await the official release on Kies).
Best bet is to use Odin to get to JPU: http://hotfile.com/dl/99955459/dea6962/I9000XXJPU.rar.html (this is a 3 file ROM - I used repartition).
Then use Odin to get to JPY (the latest official UK release): http://hotfile.com/dl/100618077/49a97b4/I9000XXJPY.rar.html (this is a single file - no repartition).
This got me back to 2.2.1 so I can continue to use Kies for future releases. You might also want to check your CSC is correct using *#272*YourIMEI#
Hope this helps.
James

In order to get back to 2.2.1 you have to Spoof a old 2.2.1 or a 2.1 firmware. To get Europe 2.2.1 you can spoof
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDXEU
PDA: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000OXAJF3
Phone:I9000XXJF3
This will make Kies give you
