[Q] Flashing new firmware - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
My first time diving into this forum. Sorry if the answer is out there already, but I couldn't find it
There are just so many threads in here about flashing..
I've had my Galaxy S for a few months now and rooted it with Z4root as soon as I got it. That was easy enough..
What I'm confused about is flashing new kernels to the phone.
As I understand it, these are the details about my phone which I obtained from the "About Phone" menu.
Samsung Galaxy S (Rooted)
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000 ADJP3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 (root - SE-S608 # 1)
Build number: FROYO.ADJP6​
What do I have to always consider when choosing a kernel or rom?
Is it the current firmware version and the ADJP3part in my case?
For example:
I've been reading loads of websites about flashing firmware and came accross the samfirmware WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm website that lists all the Samsung Galaxy S related firmware.
I think it's pretty good and understand that I should only be looking at the European list in blue as I'm UK based.
Looking down the list I can see:
I9000XXJP3
512.PIT
Version 2.2
2010 August​
According to the details I gave above. Is this is the version I currently have installed?
So where can I go from here?.. Can I only install the ones that have XXJP or can I install any of the others?..
Just not sure what to look out for and want to get my flashing adventure off on a good note

My advice would be to read the FAQS on the ROM Kitchin pages then build your own rom .

XXJP modem and CPW csc should cover all UK networks the rests you pick yourself .

[Q] Upgrading to Gingerbread without messing up Kies

Hi all,
I would love to upgrade my P1000 to Gingerbread.
At the moment the infos about my device are:
PDA: P1000XWJMI
PHONE: P1000XXJMA
CSC: P1000CPWJM2
This is what I see pressing *#1234#
Now the About Device menu says:
Model: GT-P1000
FW: 2.2
Baseband: P1000XXJMA
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.XWJMI
As stated above I would like to upgrade to a stock gingerbread release so that Kies does not say unable to update your phone. I guess I need proper files to do that. Can anyone address me to the right links and of course the steps to do it via Odin (what to check/unchek etc)?
Thanks in advance,
Fed.
Read the development section. There are PLENTY of posts on how to do it.
Sorry, but the forum is full of posts and i can't find specific threads for my issue. Informations are here and there and as you know understanding one little bit badly could make me brick my P1000. I would need to know what software to use so that the phone regional settings do not mess with Kies. If possible a link to a post (or more posts) and links to softwares are welcome.
Oh, knowing how to make a dump of my actual ROM would not be bad if anyone can help.
Your present firmware XWJMI is European(Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom).....
Unfortunately there is still no official upgrade for your region from Samsung so whatever ROM you flash whether from this forum or elsewhere, Kies will always see it as "cannot be updated".
Unless you want to try the Asian firmware-like I have.......

[Q] how to update?

hello my friends. im new to this site
wanted to ask how do i update my samsung galaxy gt-i9000
i have the firmware 2.2 and i want to update to the latest firmware because my phone barely moves and always gets stuck. by the way im from israel
my baseband version is i9000XXJPK
kernel version 2.6.32.9
build number FROYO.JIJPA
please help me out here as quick as you can
thank you very much
Either update through Kies (official way), or use Odin (a leaked Samsung app with which you can flash your phone) and a ROM of your choice. You can find enough documentation here on how Odin works
YouTube it. Lots of nice easy guides on how to do it. You'll never go back to stock!
you can go to development section of the forum. there are lots of description about it.

[Q] Options with a Korean version of the tab (SHW-M180S)

Hi all.
I have a Korean version of the Galaxy Tab that I'm using in the US.
Model: SHW-M180S
Firmware: 2.2
Basebad: M180S.DL24.0810.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build: Froyo.DL24
What are my options for rooting / firmware flashing? I've searched the forums for the ROMs that I might be able to use, but I don't see anything listed specifically that fits.
If I didn't care about getting the modem working, does it matter which version I decide to use? I know the Korean version have a bit more hardware in it (mainly the over-the-air TV), but I don't care about that either as it's completely useless in the US.

[Q] Reverting back to Stock ROM

Hi guys, need your expert advise to understand something that's new to me....
Well been in this forum for quite some time ..(Back from HTC Diamond days...then HTC Desire, HTC Sensation etc..)
Flash numerous ROMs in all of those HTC devices.
Now, I've bought a second hand GS3 i9305 Titanium Grey for quite a good deal ! After buying I figured it doesn't have 'Software Update' inside 'About' Menu. So, by digging what I believe is, this devices has been rooted and 'may be' a different un-official rom had been flashed. Even the 'Samsung Kies' software tells that this firmware is not supported to auto update and..bla bla...
So, I had to find a way to go stock everything (ROM, MODEM, BOOTLOADER etc.) and start Fresh about rooting and stuff. But unlike HTC devices it's kinda ambiguous to me! So far I figured I want to:
1. Backup my IMEI (I've understood how to do so)
2. Find the exact official firmware.
After countless searching and reading (may be I'm dumb! ) I've reached this page:
HTML:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
... but completely lost as to which firmware version I should download. For Convenience please find below my device's information:
Model Number: GT-I9305
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: I9305BVALI5
Kernel Version: 3.0.31 - 142435

If you guys help me to find out the correct stock firmware and also give me link(s) to definitive guide(s) would help me a lot! (I've read some Odin flash guides though, from I9300 thread. I believe the same guide is also applicable for I9305?)
Thanks for your time reading this, and advanced thanks for your Answers!

Here's a link to some firmware and in it is a link to find out what you're after. Although I don't think it particularly matters which region and stuff cause it's all official samsung stuff: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305
As for flashing there's a million guides out there so I suggest you google it or go through here and find a thread about flashing back to stock for the i9305.

.. Thanks I Guess! ..
