flash the JH2 rom linked in that thread using odin, you can then upgrade to the latest stock rom using kies or whatever other method you want.

[Q] Stock firmware that works with Kies?

I want to restore my SGS to stock firmware, so it works with Kies etc, as if I've not installed custom roms on it.
Which is the best route to go with this (e.g. which firmware version), preferably Froyo or Eclair.
Thanks!

Use Odin and install one of the Stock, or stock deodexed ROMs. Or if you want to revert back to original Vodafone ROM then check http://www.samfirmware.com to see if they have it. All stock firmware should work with Kies. Out of curiosity, why do you need Kies ? I never use it.

You can use Check Fus Downloader to download lots of stock roms. It depends on what country and carrier.

JPY did the trick, was correctly recognised by Kies and offered me the Gingerbread upgrade

Stock SGS firmware for EU is now Gingerbread JVO. Connects to Kies as normal.

The reason I wanted to install an earlier firmware was just to ensure the phone was correctly identified by Kies, and the Kies firmware update process would complete ok.
I'm probably going to sell the phone, hence need to make sure it's in "factory" working order.

Well from factory, all eu uk sgs phones will be shipping with jvo...

My phone was running a custom rom yesterday. Flashed froyo jpy when I had issues yesterday. connected it to kies and it gave me gingerbread jvo. No spoofs. It just worked. Now back on simply honey but at least I have a route out now!

How about an asian ROM that works with Kies Firmware Update?
I Flashed back to DXJF4 to try to update my firmware to at least DXJPA via Kies but the Update button is greyed out.

[Q]Back to stock and root

I'm currently on CM7/MIUI and wanna go back to root waiting for CM7 more mature.
I wanna a stock and samsung supported ROM (not leaked), and can receive OTA as welll
Can I just use Kies or I have to download a ROM and flash using Odin.

I would go back to a stock gingerbread rom(must have bootloaders as CM7 uses froyo bootloaders) or go to gingerbread ezbase. From there you could use the Kies registry patch to spoof it into updating your phone to the latest for your region.

I can't find any guide to spoof Kies, some say it does not work with Kies 2.0

Stockrom for here:
http://samfirmware.com/
Click: Toolbox -> Firmware -> FW Android
Then root it again using Speedmod or similar:

This is not really solved because what I want is the ability to update via Kies, but I gave up and just do the upgrade myself . Thanks for you comment

Back to stock GB from ICS

Dear folks
When Samsung released their ICS update I was so exited but it wouldn't update mine since mine has csc lux so I had to wait till they released it for my country.
So the German version came online and I used PC Odin to get my phone to ICS with the German release. (So I flashed it? New to this)
Now I'm assuming that ICS is out for my country OTA or with Kies. So I want to use one of both to upgrade my phone so I have the stock and don't risk anything.
So you've probably seen the question coming, how do I get back to stock GB so I can update it afterwards with Kies or OTA.
Please take note that I'm a complete newb in this.
Thanks in advance!

You will have to use PC Odin to go back to stock Gingerbread.
Go here to find your stock rom for your country and download it:

You probably had to Odin to the ICS version you are on now, so if you remember how you did that, it's the same thing in Odin.
After you have that stock Gingerbread you should be able to check for updates and get your official OTA or Kies ICS.

So country is what my csc says right? Cause I bought it in Belgium (where I live) but my csc says lux

You *must* flash a safe kernel first, reboot the phone again into download mode then you can flash your old GB ROM.
If you don't do that, you can trigger the emmc bug in your current ICS kernel and fry the internal memory, unless you're using a CM9-based kernel then you're safe.

Could you translate to noob friendly language? With a safe kernel you mean a safe rom or? I googled DL mode so got this and the last part to but the other piece of text is unclear

[Q] Updating to offical JB from offical stock ICS

Hi Guys
Sorry if this question has been answered before, but i did try and look for an answer but had no luck. Unfortunely I do have abit of a strange situation.
I updated to an offical Australian vodafone (my provider) ICS rom (GT-N7000B version) through mobile odin a while back from a XSA (AUS) GT-N7000 GB rom. Since i used mobile odin i was able to pass root through to the new rom which was great.
Since the release of JB has come out I am wondering since I know about the brickbug etc, how will I update my phone to JB since i am on a stock ICS kernel? As it was to my understanding I cannot flash anything on a stock ICS kernel due to the flash bug?
Can i actually use pc odin on a stock ICS kernel and flash over the top to JB or will I have to re-flash GB or ICS GT-N7000 model rom and then use a safe kernel to flash to get clockwork mod and then go over that to get to JB?
Any advice?

If you want just stock, i.e. no root or anything, just go back to gb and flash official JB through PC Odin.
Alternatively, you could also straightaway flash official JB through PC Odin.(Not recommended)
