That's probably an official ROM.. Where did you get it from?

Hey there,
I grabbed it off samfirmware.com
Anyway, can anyone verify with me?

you can get official rom from KIES

If you flash a older firmware I'm sure Kies will update you to the newest official firmware of your region.
Also this should be in Q/A...

Your ROM has a valid date code and hence should be official. All the leaked ROMs have date codes like JMx (Eclair), JPx (Froyo)
For your ROM J = 2010 and G = July (A = Jan, L = Dec). There could be no M or P month after that, hence they are essentially leaked ROMs which are not officially supported.
I see a caveat here - some people report that a JMx ROM is officially supplied to them through KIES or their local service centers. I don't believe so and can only see valid timestamped ROMs as official and supported.

Hey, I have a Singapore I9000 and am on stock FW.
I am basing the official FW based on Kies which says that for me I am on the latest official FW which is DXJG4. Official firmwares I believe only come through Kies.

latest firmware for singapore users should be dxjg4.
at least off kies anyway!

[Q] It's my tab cant upgrade gingerbread?

Hi, it's my tab cant upgrade to gingerbread? Even the when the official firmware available in malaysia?
Coz my fren using galaxy ace, is show diff from me
"This version of device is the latest version"
Mine
"This version of device cannot be updated"
Current firmware version: PDA:KM3 / PHONE:KM1 / CSC:KM2 (XME)
Thanks!

You have to manually flash gingerbread. It may not officially be available in your country yet, but you can still get gingerbread. Search tab development thread for gingerbread rom.
Hit thanks if i have helped.

Thanks.
But I'm confused tat, if when my country available the firmware update, i still cant upgrade it?
I'm scared tat i cant upgrade the official firmware, cos mine still under warranty so plan to upgrade the official if can.
I get the info from some others chinese forum, some of the version cannot be upgrade to gingerbread. It's true?

The case may be that the country/region server does not yet recognize the
current firmware version (PDA:KM3 / PHONE:KM1 / CSC:KM2 (XME)) that you have. i also get that notice when i tried KM3_KM1_KM2 on my tab. i'm from the philippines and as per experience the only firmware that my kies recognizes for is the one that came with my tab when i bought it which is p1000dxjk2.
hopefully, when they "officially" roll it out for SE Asia, we will be able to update through kies. but for now i'm enjoying the stock gingerbread + CF-Root by chainfire.

I think kies is the only official way to upgrade your SGS.
So, wait for Kies fixing this problem or go to http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm and flash one with odin

so the samfirmware is an official as in not my region but i am still ok with it as i am from singapore and malasiya has already got it... tks for the quick reply though

[Q] Official android version

Dear concern, i am using galaxy s i9000, i buy it a 2months used cell, as it was using gingerbread 2.3.3, i doesn't know that if it was an official gingerbread or non official, i flashed it with custom rom's, such as XXJVO, XXJVA... and in those i faced some problems i cannot upgrade the firmware version by kies r itself by the phone, so i rooted with so called official version from this link (theandroidsoul)
and now when i connect my phone with kies it has the same problem "your firmware cannot be upgrade by kies"
Can you plz help me that what should i do to get the official version of the gingerbread. Thank u very much in advance.

Go to sammobile.com and make a login account (its free). From there click on firmware and then click on smartphone and then android and so on. Then find the firmware you want. There are also pdf guides that you can follow to tell you exactly what to do.

Yep, you'll need to manually flash stock before Kies will recognize your phone and it's firmware version properly and agree to upgrade it for you.
With stock on, you can still be rooted and do all fancy things there-in, but the OTA upgrades can and usually do break it.
There are also ROMs that are pre-modded/rooted versions of the official firmware that might interest you, and save you some time.

My kernel [email protected] #2 Baseband I9070DXLD1 it might help
So, what do you think? Is it recommended? Should i give it a try or should i wait for the update to be official here in Phillipines? Will it be available at OTA? What do you suggest? What benefits will i get if i update it? Is it compatible here in PHILIPPINES? Help please THANKS!
BTW i have a problem about connecting my i9070 via usb(kies). I've already downloaded the Samsung Kies latest version and it works at kies via wifi. But when it comes to via usb, it doesn't. Any idea?
THANKS FOR THE HELP. IM NEW IN THIS FORUM AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'M IN THE SUBJECT. THANKS
