[Q] Can i flash JPJPG modem and JPJPF CSC with XXJPX PDA?

Is it safe to flash the latest 2.2.1 (XXJPX) PDA with my 2.2 (JPJPG) Modem and 2.2(JPJPF) CSC? I already tried flashing 2.2.1 PDA with JPJPF CSC. The only thing that i noticed is that my google maps and latitude won't find me anymore on the maps. But my gps still work (although it always takes me 15mins or more to get a fix and my location is almost always showing me off the grid/off road using either Ndrive, igo or copilot).
now i want to know if it's safe. I just want to know if there someone here already tried it. Something is telling me that its not safe so i'm not doing it yet. I saw people from previous post that it's safe to flash jpx with different pda hence i did it.
thanks in advance!

Hmmm... i guess nobody has done this yet?

[Q] a question about debranding, which firmware.

hello,
my phone is branded to orange in the uk. i have been looking into this for the past 3 days.
i am now at the point where i am ready to flash with odin but i am unsure which firmware to flash with, and i have read so much info im getting my head all wrapped around the situation
basically my current firmware is
PDA:I9000 BVJS4
PHONE: I9000 BVJP4
CSC: I9000 ORAJS4
version 2.2.1
i have looked at http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm and the amount of firmware staggers me not one all i am requesting if someone would be so kind and reply saying "flash this one mate"
i may have already read the answer but i have spent 3 days trying to figure it out for myself.
it was locked to orange but i have since unlocked it. it is currently rooted.
im not particularly bothered about warranty because i can add it to my home insurance to cover loss or damage. and from what i have read the phone is difficult to brick fully,
i have the download mode already, its just a case of get the firmware and flash.
i apologise for the very long post and i hope someone can help me
thanks for reading.
EDIT: i already have a backup of the efs folder

in my opinion don't use odin only , only if you want stock or root . Go to Doc Rambone's kitchen and build yourself your desired rom . I suggest JS8 wipe (you will lose all your data) or nonwipe ( you will have crappy data from previous rom ) , select your own csc if you want APN Settings , hardcore/SuperCurio/DamianGTO(never tested this) Kernel at your own desire , an european modem , themes sounds and boot amination at your own desire and need , and at apps and tweaks choose what you think you will use. SORRY FOR CRAPPY ENGLISH ( I'm not a native English speaker and I wrote very quickly .

I agree you can choose a CSC to suit your network .
CPW CSC covers all UK networks .
XWJS8 v9.9.5 WIPE base rom
CPW csc
Hardcore's Kernel *RECOMMENDED* kernel
JPX modem
Apps choose what you want .
Themes and boot animation choose what you want .

thamks guys, i have used odin to flash the new jvk firmware, (there is an app on market for my apn settings (im on giffgaff))
i have used criskelo's rom in the develeopment forum with his theme.
it really does amaze me when only 2 weeks ago i didnht know anything about odin or flashing and now i can downgrade/upgrade my firmware using odin, root it. and its all thanks to this wonderful website!
i even know how to install different themes etc and now i just installed a battery im just astounded.
there are a few other questions:
1) if i want to change my theme, can i just install it over the old one using cwm?
2) is there a thread/website etc where i can download certain mods? (ie i see a few of the themes have the market in different colours, different lock-screens, i just wondered if there was another place where i can get these from to install)
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934729&highlight=theme+creator i have found this but there doesnt seem to be a guide or anything, i cant get it to download the framework from my phone? i have tried in usb mode (kies and mass storage) download mode and mounting usb storage from the cwm. what i havent ried is with debugging mode on.

hi gazza1988, good to know u were able to debrand and flash the firmware through ODIN.
I also got my SGS through 3 UK. Its unlocked now.
But i am not am not able to install any apps and market is also not working. I also want to remove the branding.
My current config is :
PDA : I9000NEJP5
PHONE : I9000NEJP2
CSC : I9000HCGJP5
I want to flash to a stable stock firmware. Some people on forums suggested to flash JS8.
I downloaded I9000XWJS8 from samfirmwares.com but it has only one file - NEE.tar (which i guess is PDA file).
Will my current modem and CSC be compatible with I9000XWJS8 ?? Do i need to include .PIT file and select repartition ??

hi, if you want to debrand you will need new complete (ie 3 firmwares csc pda phone etc)
i assume you have odin already
if you want to debrand then download the jpu firmware (has all 3 files) here http://hotfile.com/dl/99955459/dea6962/I9000XXJPU.rar.html password for archive is samfirmware.com
once you have flashed that one go back into download mode and flash the NEE.tar as PDA to update to JS8.

Thanks for the quick reply man !!!
Do i also need to select PIT file and select re-partition ??
Also samfirmware has listed I9000XXJPU firmware download as 1 file only. Link
Like this :
I9000XXJPU ## | 512.PIT | Version 2.2.1 | 2010 December | DOWNLOAD | 1 file select NO .PIT
I've have started the download anyway, so lets see.
As i'm using my SGS in India, is it better to flash an Asian firmware with CSC which has info about indian networks ?? Can u tell me which Asian firmware on this page has all 3 files ?

possibly would be better to flash asian but what the effects of changing from one region to another are im not 100% may be worth startin a new topic in this forum as people are less inclined to look in here as they think my issue is being seen to by someone else.
the asian firmware for india is DD (ie I9000DDxxx so i would guess that the I9000DDJF2 would contain all 3 files to flash then you would have to flash I9000DDJP6 to get indian stock froyo firmware. but i would ask a more experienced person about moving regions i was a noob at this 2 weeks ago.
i am 90% certain that flashing indian firmware would debrand and enable the market, it may be worth adding a post to this thread detailing what you have now and what you would like (ie branded uk firmware to stock indian firmware - it may also be worth asking if you can use european firmware with a indian csc as i have read the indian froyo is not very good)
the reason you cant download apps from the market would be your location (ie the phone's firmware is 3 UK and you are in india so it get "confused". do you have 3g connectivity.
i have researched some of this and the CSC (country specific code) is what holds the apn settings etc so you would need an indian csc

gazza1988 said:
... do you have 3g connectivity ...
Click to expand...

Yes, i have 3g, but not able to sign in to google account even with 3g. And the strange part is that i can't even directly install most of the apk files. Adobe flash player apk didn't install. Even asphalt 5 didn't install. I was able to install Winamp for android. I downloaded many apks for the internet (some of them specifically packed for SGS) but 99% of them don't install on my SGS.
I have started this thread, so lets see.
Is I9000XXJPU a Unbranded firmware ?? I think we can safely assume that if I9000XXJPU firmware is designed for factory unlocked phones sold by samsung in Europe when i could solve the market issues. And i can manually enter the APN settings of my network. The issue currently i think is the 3 UK crap.

[Q] Still can't get stock fw on properly

Hi if someone can help id really apprteciate it. Dunno why this is confusing me so much.
Anyway I want to put stock uk firmware on my galaxy s so I can sell. Pretty sure it was the unlocked stock firmware.
I tried doing the reg hack on kies - it finds update and then says device version wrong.
I tried using spooffw - for some reason it updates the pda ok but doesnt update phone/csc (click ok and it reverts back to whatever it was on before)
I tried installing JM1 from samfirmwares and whent into kies and again says cannot update on this device.
Can anyone tell me what I need to flash onto this bloody phone so I can get kies to upgrade to the oficial fw.
I would like to put on a 2.1 rom and then have kies upgrade then I know its stock. I downloaded jf3 but that didnt come with phone or csc ? where would I get them?

first of all its not a bloody phone
then why you want to use kies? you can flash a rom by odin easily, just do some study for how to flash a rom and proceed,
kies sometimes have strange behaviours, personally I never used kies after I tried it once

I take it you want not the stock rom but the rom provided by the phone provider .
Two routes one replace the original rom you saved .
two flash stock rom lower version than current rom on Kies . Use a method of spoofing the correct codes for the original product .
Kies only updates if the correct codes for product firmware device and hardware are showing . Once you go the unofficial flashing firmware route Kies may not find these codes until you find the correct codes .
Stock = Samsung firmware Original = network branded that came with the phone .

Hi flashing a rom isn't the problem but flashing a rom that makes my i9000 appear un tainted by custom roms etc is where I'm having the difficulty. I wanted to do the final update via kies then I would know that kies thinks my phone has genuine firmware. If it wont update via kies then this is a clear message that the phone has been tampered with and I may not get the money from the company.

You are right I want original firmware. Main problem is I have no idea what this would have been. I didn't make a copy as my first upgrade involved doing a kies reg hack before there were any custom roms and I stupidly didn't take note of what I was currently on. What I do know is that my phone has never had any operator logos or software on it. (unlike my gs2)
I have tried doing the reg hack on kies 2.0 but apparently thats not properly supported yet (can I use an older kies 1.5 or something? or will it ask to be upgraded?)
I have tried using spooffw but step 3 (where you set phone and csc) doesnt work, when you press ok is reverts back to whatever it had on before no matter the value you enter.
Does anyone know of an o2 stock firmware that has been uploaded somewhere? ideally with pit, csc modem and pda. then I can hopefully use odin and then confirm that all is ok in kies?
Or if I am going to go the spoof route (probably with kies 1.5 as 2 is not playing ball) does anyone know what values I should use for each?
Thanks

well on www.samfirmware.com there is a list right at the bottom for provider FW, maybe one of them is o2 firmware, check it and see if any of them stand out as the one you had firstly.
why do you need o2 firmware specifically ??
you can sell your phone with JPY 2.2.1 stock and no one would be the wiser .

jpy? so is that a firmware you could actually get on a device brought in uk? which specific download should I choose? Once downloaded and flashed if I connect to kies will it be able to do future updates?
EDIT woohoo I did as you said and used UK JPY found here
http://www.multiupload.com/PZNPALHVDW
and its now being picked up in kies saying latest firmware installed. Excellent now I can sell it without worrying.
bit sad it was definately the best phone ive owned and there still doesnt seem to be much out there that can push it to its limits (let alone the s2) still the extra screen size and better pixel layout are definately worth the upgrade.
Thanks everyone for your help.

If thats not it i uploaded O2 JPY within the last month linked in two posts .Dont know where though .Its probably mine on Sammy anyway .
Flashed direct as PDA via Odin . If problems after with modem . Unzip file extract modem flash file again as PDA and also the modem file is what i did .

[Q] 3G Internet works in 2.2.1 but not 2.3.3

Hi all.
After alot of research and some aid from XDA and Whirlpool, I finally flashed to stock Optus 2.1 FW, managed to change my CSC from KOR to OPS which enabled me to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2.1 official Optus FW in Kies. Hooray.
I have used Gingerbread before; I forget which files I used to do so. When I was in 2.3.3 my 3G Internet would not work, nor would it in Darky's Rom v10 (still on 2.3.3). I have now downgraded to 2.2.1 (Optus' official firmware) and my 3G Internet works perfectly.
My question is - why has this happened? Is it because the 2.3.3 FW doesn't support my phones modem? Does anyone know which 2.3.3 FW from samfirmware will support my modem so that my 3G Internet will work on Gingerbread? Is there any research I can conduct so I download the right Gingerbread FW to flash through ODIN?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if I made no sense.
-Gee.

Probably your APN's got deleted after flashing. Have you checked that?

Yeah I just read up about it a few minutes ago, seems I need to input the APN settings manually. Will this work?

it should, try it... takes 2 mins.

Stash this away into your firmware collection.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S6NMLH8W OPS csc.
If you flash a 3 file firmware, just replace the csc with this and you won't have to enter any apn's ever again.

not all CSC work for GB right now...

The above posted csc has worked on every Gingerbread build that I have flashed.

Thanks Electrotune1200. Will that CSC also keep my product code as OPS? What gingerbread build are you on?

It will keep your product code XSA, which is Australia.
And at setup, will give you the option of Optus or Virgin network.

[Q] Can not register on network problem

Since a few days it is impossible to use my Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 as a phone. Whenever i try using it, it doesnt register on the network.
I am running DarkyROM JVH v10.1 baseband version I9000XXJVO Firmware 2.3.3
If i try to register on the network is searches and searches and searches... but doesnt find anything.
What "worries" me is the fact that when i start up the phoe is tells me its a Samsung Galaxy S II, which it surely isnt!
Please advice.

There is your problem..
Re-flash stock firmware with pit and re-partition, When complete, check you can register on the network.
If so then avoid the ROM which you are currently running.
EDIT: When you say the phone says Galaxy S II, Is this not a boot animation taken from the SGS II ? Or is it the actual boot screen which says its a SGS II ?

Call me stupid ;-) but i didnt save my stock-rom....

No problem.
Head over to www.samfirmware.com and grab one from there, flash it through odin, Instructions are on that site too.

Thanks AzzleDazzle, but now comes up another problem.... Probably very basic, but for me, its all abracadabra.
I have an European Samsung Galaxy S GTi9000, but if i look at the site there are many roms u can download. From Android 2.1 to Android 2.3.4 for "my" device. Which is the one i should use? My ID is I9000XWJVH, which is according to the site an unknown H version.
Please advice once more, thanks in advance!

No worries, Make sure you download a firmware specifically for the I9000
the last 3 letters eg JVH is the firmware version, JV.X. represents gingerbread 2.3.3 and above.
Gingerbread is the latest release, so i would go for one of them, The one at the bottom of the page on samfirmware will be the very latest, Which i think is JVR
So look for I9000XXJVR.
flash that in ODIN and job done you should be back up and running and with the latest release.
The rest is upto you . i.e going to a custom ROM / rooting ect...

i feel more and more like a noob....
I started Odin, and there u can choose for the pit file, or for the pda file (which is the one i should use i guess), but also u have the choices of re-partition auto reboot and f. reset time. Which of those 3 (or non at all) i should use?

I dont know what has happened. I choose for only reboot after flashing. Flashing went okay, but now it seems to be stuck in a loop. The Galaxy S screen gets followed up by a Swisscom screen in a seemingly endless loop.
Worse, with volume down - power on i can not come in the download menu anymore...
Any advice would be much appreciated now.....
Also when trying a re-partitioning via Odin it doesnt work?
Found the solution. Using Odin 1.8 did the trick. I used Odin 1.3 which probably couldnt flash the 2.3.4, while when i tried with Odin 1.8 it worked flawlesly.
Thanks for your help!
