[Q] was forced to flash my SGS.

Ive had the Samsung Galaxy S for about a month now, download the app GST (Galaxy S tweaker) and while doing the changing the lockscreen feaure the phone was hanging at the startup screen and not booting. After much research i evantually figured out i had to reinstall the firmware myself, downloaded all the necessary programs and flashed the fone. The firmware is now debranded and when i connect to it to Samsung Kies and click "Firmware upgrade" it says this firmware cannot be upgraded. Is there anyway i can get the firmware back that came with the phone originally from Orange? Or i would i have to send it back to orange for their branded firmware? The main reason for this is that i want the official release of Froyo when it (evantually) gets released.

[Q] (Q) Updating Galaxy S I9000

My Galaxy S has:
PDA: I9000JHJP8
PHONE: I9000JHJP5
CSC: I9000PTRJP8
Build info: 2010 . 10
When I try to update it via Kies(I have the newest version of kies installed) it shows me that theres an update is available and when I press Update it sais the I9000 Was disconected, a few seconds after the phone gets recognised by Kies again, and again I try to update, it looses the phone then finds it again, USB is fine so whats wrong? How to I update? I am not disconecting the phone in any part of the process...

Kies has some issues and is responsible for a lot of bricked phones, i would say if you want the newest firmware then flash it yourself thru a program called 'Odin'
you can download the newest firmwares from www.samfirmware.com (registering takes 2 mins) and its all official.. or type in the search bar above 'I9000 stock firmware'
just be sure to do a little reading before going ahead to fully understand what to do, or you could become another victim of a bricked phone... there are instructions on how to use odin on the samfirmware website, (it can sound confusing but its easy)

Someone wit the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962237

after playing with Kies for two days I gave up. The newest version could not find updates, version 1.5 with a patcher found updates but still old ones. As azzledazzle wrote try Odin. It is really easy and reliable. I was wary first, but now I switched to using CWM and have Odin as backup in case something goes wrong. Never failed. And it's fast.

[Q] Need an urgent help...

Hello all,
I recently bought samsung galaxy s i 9000 it was pre loaded with froyo 2.2 and when ever i connect it to kies it gets connected for the first time and then onn if i disconnect it will never get connected unless i restart the phone.. I tried to update the firmware several times and it downloads the files but gets disconnected in between. I badly wanted to change to ginger bread and just loaded with odin.. Now, I started having the real problem its getting stuck most of the times and i had to open the task manager to free the ram.
But the video player is supporting more formats and no problem connecting with kies.. and i used it for sometime. Now while hanging up a call its getting stuck frequently. And once i had to lose most of my balance.
I decided to roll back my firmware to froyo 2.2 but I came to know I might lose the warranty tampering with O.S.. Is that really so?? And I got an asian version of froyo 2.2.1 for march 2011 from one of the threads and I flashed it into my phone. Now, kies is telling that this version cannot be updated. Can some one please suggest me
1) How I can get back my official firmware...which can also support updates in kies.
2) And Is that possible to retain warranty with any firmware?
I had to spend the whole of sunday over this please suggest me...
Thank you

Go to www.samfirmware.com and register. Download the ROM you want. I'm currently using XXJVR (Android 2.3.4). It is quite stable.
Then, use Odin to flash the ROM onto your device. Make sure you backup all your important data. I recommend MyBackupPro. It's available in the Market.
Then, switch off your phone completely and put it in 'Download Mode' (Volume Down + Home + Power). Connect it to your PC. Make sure you have the drivers installed.
Follow the instructions given on the website to flash with Odin. The XXJVR ROM has only 1 tar file. So, you're gonna have to use this procedure--> http://www.samfirmware.com/Odin I9000 2.png
Best of luck! Do let us know how it goes!

[Q] Q S2 i9000 Failed firmware update, phone now not seen by pc via usb

2.21 (UK 02 network). phone has been locking up, the other day it managed to do a data reset and lost all my contacts. I thought something was going screwy so decided to back up my photos. Couldnt find my data cable so bought one from my phones supplier Carphone Warehouse. they didnt have a Samsung cable but sold me a blackberry one which is the same connections. I connected it to my pc and it worked fine, Kies saw the phone, upgraded Kies to a new version and backed up my pictures. It said I neeed a firmware update and I followed the prompts and let it do the job. the screen of the phone had a warning not to turn off target and It looked as if things were OK. All of a sudden it showed that the update had failed. It also then lost the usb connection. I went through the emergency restore using the instructions in Kies. battery out vol down/home and power etc. Kies sees the failure but cannot connect to the phone. The pc cant see the phone outside of kies and i tried another pc with the same result. I have an icon on the screen of the phone of a phone and a pc with a yellow triangle containing an exclamation mark between them. help please.
Thanks
Mike

to correct model
It is not s2 it is gti 9000

Well whatever the phone is S1 or S2 you did the update through kies. If you didnt then you need to use odin.
Its only a soft brick so no need to worry. You can do a couple of things, flash the firmware yourself using odin, call samsung and find out the nearest repair centre which will be free as it was through kies and im assuming the phone is still under warranty. The CPW that you got the cable may even be the nearest repair centre.
Anyway odin, find your stock firmware from samfirmware.com and follow their intructions. Its quite simple. But the safest option would be to call samsung and just hand it in, it should be fixed within a couple of hours depending on how busy they are.
Samsung number: 01932 454 358

Thanks
Thanks Talon I am going to take it to CPW they have a service centre near here.

New firmware From KIES

Hello everyone.
I've just purchased I9001 and the version is gingerbread 2.3.3. I have a lot of application installed. When i upgrade my KIES version to 2.1.1.11124_17, a new firmware was mentioned by KIES. This is the details:-
My current version is PDA:KG2 / PHONE:KG1 / CSC:KG2 (XME)
New version is PDA:KJ2 / PHONE:KJ1 / CSC:KJ1 (XME)
If i upgrade the firmware, will i lost all my application installed?
If yes, is there any other method to back up my apps?
Attach is the picture of KIES

Don't use Kies unless you want to brick your phone.. the software sucks so hard that will almost brick your phone 100% sure. Use Odin instead and flash XXKPS (2.3.6)
But first root your phone and save /data/apps to your local drive
I think this is allot information for you if you just bought the phone but you should read the forums

You can find everything you need here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001
Go to 2.3.6 and download I9001XXKPS. You can use most of the tweaks for that.
Note: your warranty will be lost (at least formal). But its worth to do

you can find a good description how to flash a rom also here
i just installed XXKPU as described above and improved it following this post from point 3 of the step by step description on (steps 1 and 2 can be ignored due to previously mentioned description)...
my sgs+ works fine now... all apps with complete app data and settings plus market links were restored with titanium backup pro within 30 min...

make sure not to use kies ! it bricked my phone ! use odin !

Does KIES brick the SGS Plus only?
Before i started flashing roms i updated twice with kies and nothing happened ?

updating with kies is a real adventure, i tried it only once, and i was lucky it gave me an error at 0% , so i just got the battery out and all worked fine after a reboot, my friend was not that lucky, it froze on 55% and he could do nothing about it, so he had to flash a stock rom with odin to get his phone working again. i don't think it can hard brick ur phone (well the chances are little, but still possible) , mostly u can get into download mode and fix the issue, for those who don't know how, they just have to take their phone to service and claim their warranty.

But i like to know too...Is it a SGS plus thing? I have a SGS and updated 2 times my SGS, 2 times my girlfriends SGS and 1 time the SGS II of my sister. All with kies. Nothing happend.
Sooo... am i this lucky or IS it really a SGS plus thing?
Cheers
