I was reading the thread about the hack to be able to flash a ROM from another region onto your phone by changing some system registry values. Is it possible to use the Froyo 2.2 ROM from another region and the modem firmware from the released US 2.1 firmware package in order to flash a US T-mobile Vibrant phone and still have it function on the network, but be running the 2.2 OS? Would this work?
I believe that this version of 2.2 is only for the i9000 version of the galaxy s; the t-mobile version is T959.
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 .

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

Hi! I would just like to ask if i can install I9000UGKG3 (Bell official GB firmware) to my international SGS i9000. I understand that I9000UGKG3 is for i9000M. The reason why i'm asking this is because i need a firmware for my phone that supports 850mhz as i am now in Canada.
I don't mind installing a more latest version of GB that supports 850mhz as well if someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
You only need to install the UCKG3 modem to get 850Mhz not the whole ROM.
Just flash the ZIP in CWM, you may need to enable 850Mhz in service mode
Have a Unlocked GT-N7000 running on GB 2.3.6 firmware PDA:KK2 /PHONE:KK1 / CSC: KK2(VNO) from the CSC VNO is for Venezuela and for Chile as well not sure which one am on. Also has TTT and TDC as available CSC TTT (Trinidad and Tobago) has already received ICS, however changing the CSC doesnt work. Kies fails to detect device while changed to TTT or TDC hence cannot update via Kies. Wonder if its ok to flash to stock ICS for VNO if its available havent found any on the forum.
