[Q] What is the latest fireware for GT I9000?

Hi, what is the latest firmware for GT-I9000 now ? because when I connect my phone with Kies ( Kies version I am using is 1.5.3.10093_82 ), it says
my current version: PDA:JF4 / PHONE:JF4 / CSC:OLB
This device's version cannot be updated.
So this is the newest firmware for now ? since i am new with Smartphone.
Thanks

I am getting the same error. I am from Malaysia where are you from? have you root your phone?

Latest firmware for Malaysia yet to come out.
The Latest for Asian is from Hong Kong(I9000ZSJPD), if you want update using kies, you need perform registry hack make your kies think that you are from Hong Kong(I suppose). However, i cant get HIDSWVER from Hong Kong so not able to update thru Kies too.
I read some thread said lagfix need to remove so that kies able to update it.

I think the latest firmware for Malaysia is I9000DXJPA. This is Froyo 2.2. You need to download the latest Kies version in order to see it in the update option.
I have been using this original firmware for sometime and it is great. It really makes me wonder again, what's with all the lag-fix when there is not lag issue.

What about Europe. What's latest official firmware. My device has i9000xxjm1 and kies says it's latest one :/

[Q]Get back to Branded Firmware

HI i upgraded my T-Mobile sgs to the 2.2 firmware using the kies patcher my question is now is there a way for me to default back to the t-mobile 2.2 software?
Regards
Cprl.rst

Yes use the original T mob rom you saved with Kies Patcher .
Then update to current TMob via standard Kies .
NO SAVED ROM
Read Kies Patcher and find out how to spoof registry and or flash back to Eclair using Odin and then update via standard Kies update .

does anyone know where i could get hold of t-mobile 2.2 samsung galaxy s firmware? or the 2.1 either would be good

Backup original ROM
Is there any way to backup my original (branded) ROM?
I intend to flash another ROM on my phone, the I9000BVJJPD one, which is the same a friend of mine has on his phone, an i9000B from Brazil. He got the 2.2 upgrade via Kies, but mine didn't, so I contacted Samsung and they said that my phone was branded and so it couldn't get the upgrade.
Since both are basically the same models, I wish to flash to the unbranded ROM, but I'd like to keep my original ROM as backup in case something goes wrong. Since it's not available in the web, how can I make the backup myself?
By the way, my current version, from *#1234# is I9000BVJJI1

[Q] phone and kies say different things!

[Q] Need some clarification on KIES is looking for

Lots of us are trying to get our phones back to Stock Firmware so KIES can update to 2.2.1 & at some point 2.3. In my case i9000T Latin America (TTT) model which seems to be very popular on the various US sites selling unlocked i9000 phones (New Egg & Expansys-us)
Many of us have used Euro 2.2 or 2.2.1 Firmware without issue using ODIN 1.3.
What happened in the process of applying the Euro firmware that keeps KIES from updating once you've rolled back to a stock firmware. In my case i9000TUBJH1 which is android 2.1 (ECLAIR.UBJI1) .
I've tried everything from changing the Product Code from KOR, TTT, PCW and any other one that might trigger KIES (1.5 or 2.0) in allowing the update.
I have 2 of these phones. One is untouched stock firmware. It was i9000TUBJG7 and after KIES update it's now (i9000TUBJP9 with a TTT Product Code). again, just trying to get my other phone back to stock and then update to 2.2.1 so both phones are the same.
Which file is KIES looking at to allow the update? CSC?
I'm not sure why the i9000T firmware is not readily available on samfirmware.
Thanks - many of us are just trying to learn the basics and spent hours reading these forums.

Try reading the last few pages of this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959806

why bother with kies anyway i have a 19000t.. just use odin and flash the stock rom form samsungfimrwares.com or a custom one like docs etc..
i am currently on jpy with jl2 modem.
also once you have clockwork on you can also flash one of docs roms via that.
or is it that you are trying to get a stock rom via kies. that is not on samsungfirmwares.com ?
if that is the case i think the reason may be that these stock firmwares were never release via kies?

I bricked my initial handset using KIES as it crashed during the update. Won't be using it again to flash my phone.

Samfirmware & i9000T
No sign of any i9000T (TTT) Latin America firmware on Samfirmware.com. The latest update via KIES for this phone was about 10 days ago. Version i9000TUBJP9 which installs 2.2.1.
Again, just trying to get back to stock. I'll be passing this phone to another user at some point and they'll need KIES to keep it simple.
Any help in understanding what keeps KIES from updating after you've installed stock 2.1 firmware would be great.
I'll keep reading ...
thanks

Kies reads the codes from the phone .
Firmware 2.2 Product Code Vodaphone Hardware ID Vodaphone .
Looks for update for the product code if all matches downloads .
Product Code stock Hardware ID stock matches nothing on its Database = no update .
Route back i have used is flash Eclair spoof product code via Kies registry patcher . Upgrade and save rom at the same time to enable reflash to product codes firmware .

Did you manage to get the update from Kies? You would do a great service if you can share the firmware.

Kies looks at the product code. I replied to your other post.

Kies probably cannot find the correct network provider details on your phone to match any provided upgrade .
As you no longer have the supplied rom you will need to try the Kies Registry patch /Spoof post .To fool Kies into thinking its a genuine firmware for your phone .
