Hey guys!
I am pretty new to this forum, but have been hanging arround for a while.
And i gotta say that it has helped me with pretty much!
But now I have a problem with my phone, and i cannot find anything in the forums about it..
Any help would be appreciated.
So.. Yesterday my phone was giving me a hard time to boot.. For some reason CWM did not show the backups on my rom and so i couldnt restore it.
I downloaded the official I9000XXJPY 2.2.1 EU and flashed with odin, and my phone could now boot again..
However, today I noticed that there are languages missing in the phone, say for example input languages for samsyng keypad.
I have gone nuts searching the net about this..
Is there any way i can get these languages back without rooting and going backways. Is there any firmware that have the languages?
I would love it if someone has a solution to my problem.
I still want it to be a clean rom and so, so that I can update later on with KIES.
Speaking about KIES. When I connected the phone it says
"This wersion of the device cannot be updated" [1]
Why is that?
Also, not that in the picture it says (KOR) [2]
Why?
I would be greatful for any kind of help!
Thanks in advance!
NOTE: Image is attached because of first post, i must have at lease 8 post to have an url.
It reads KOR because I believe you have a Korean csc flashed. In addition, it is saying your phone can't be upgraded because it is not detecting the stock firmware for your region. Therefore if you want to use kies you need tobuse one of the spoofing methods found on XDA or find the right firmware for your region.
As for language, that comes from framework which makes me even more convinced you have the wrong firmware flashed. Later if you install a custom, deodexed rom flashed you can add languages just by flashing a theme that includes the language you want.

Speaking about KIES. When I connected the phone it says
"This wersion of the device cannot be updated" [1]
Why is that?
Two reasons One the obvious no update ie 2.3 is not on the servers .
the other reason is Kies cannot read the firmware product code and hardware ID and match to an update.
EG original firmware O2 UK product code xxxxx hardware id fffff firmware 2.1
Finds a match and downloads 2.2
Flashed stock rom its not the one supplied with the phone so .
product code ddddd hardware id ffff firmware 2.1
no match product code different firmware not from the network branded phone .
Stock is not original its Samsung firmware before the network supplier customises/brands it .
Thats why you keep a copy of your original firmware safe .

Thank you for your reply..
That is odd because I downloaded the firmware from SamFirmware under the Europe category.
Do you know where i can get the right firmware for JPY, if I live in sweden?
Thanks

When that is the case kies lists both your firmware and the current firmware (which match) and says that you have the latest firmware available.

I would check any android sites in Swedish. Sites will often have the firmware for the carriers in their country.

Thanks guys.. I'll dig a little after swedish sites and post the outcome here..
Ok.. So I found the scandinavian version and flashed it, and it is working flawlessly.
Regarding the phone being debranded, can this affect me in a bad way or is it just something minor?
Thanks guys, for helping me out!

Samsung warranty yes Sellers warranty no its not their firmware .
Technically no warranty but in practice stock firmware as opposed to original does not seem to be a problem for repair .

Yes there is.
22.Can I flash an Asian ROM on my European device or vice versa?
Flashing should work without any problems. There are no known compatibility issues as of now. If any should arise, flashing back to Asian firmware is always possible.
Check your current ROM by dialing *#1234* to make sure you do not have a Korean variant of the phone (which is NOT compatible!).
Actually its not my concern if you read my post I've included my firmware and radio
PDA:M110S.DG14.0001
PHONE:M110S.DG07.1842.ST
It's different from all the firmware listed its from Korea so I want if I can make it to i9000JXXXX like that not this korean firmware

Go ahead and flash , then post your resutls here
It's not really easy. That's why I'm asking if there are other people who try to flash on this korean version of SGS. I would love to flash this but if it gets bricked you are the one who will replace it

Now im lost, I thought you were able to confirm that your SGS is different from the one that comes from korea despite it being "Anycall" thats why I posted the quote.. altho I understand the step says Asia to Euro but the note at the end says make sure your not using a korean version of the phone, then you said that is not your concern.
The step may refer flashing an Asian FW to a Euro handset but it clearly states that you are not able to flash X FW if your handset is from Korea.
But yeah at the end of the day, its not yet possible to change the FW on a Korean based handset.
Sorry for that, I also got lost. So it solves my problem and I'm stuck with these korean firmware. Is ther a possibility of root?
As Per this site in pages 8 and above
they confirmed that they use superuse+su+busybox by using Odin3
http://forum.samdroid.net/f49/superuser-su-busybox-i9000-v-2-01-07-2010-a-1355/
Anyone can confirm?
I'm too annoyed with this different firmware
Thousands of devices have been rooted in Korea, but it's hard to find support here for the device. Do a Naver search for "갤럭시s 루팅" or go to matpclub.com
I'm at matpclub.com
lucky for me, it's hard to understand and translation is not good
Agreed, but if you can find the file that contains odin and the update.zip everything else seems fairly like every other rooting system. Unfortunately, I deleted the file and the link after I was unsuccessful getting my device into recovery mode.
Here is the link for root. But I can't download the Msuper.zip

sir please give tutorial upgade my galaxy S (shw-m110S)
android froyo ke gingerbread
Hi.
We have two galaxy tabs and was upgrading to ginger bread. One of them was succsesful, but the other one dosen't start anymore.
Donno what's wrong with it?
How can I get it working again?
Thankful for any help. (Excouse my bad english.)
Regards Christian.
You can put it into download mode and flash it with odin. Google download mode galaxy tab. Then download the stock gingerbread firmware from samfirmware.com or xda download site. On youtube there are good tutorials how to flash galaxy tab firmwares. WARNING: you will VOID you WARRANTEE
Sent from my GT-I9100
Okey, thanks for a quick answer. Is there anyway of doing this and not void warrenty? Some recovery thing or something?
Well the download mode is the recovery and kies doesn't provide this as far as i know sry you could send it to samsung
Sent from my GT-I9100
But i am not sure if an official rom will void your warrantee. How did you update it?
Sent from my GT-I9100
flashing official firmware in no way would void any warranty.
You need to find the stock firmware (rom) for your Tab and then flash it via Kies or Heimdall depending on which tab you have, that should get you back up and running unless there's an actual hardware issue.
Thanks alot for your time.
There is no hardware error, this is software.
Can someone please explain in steps how to do this and where to get the firmware and roms or is there any good how-to to do this?
Official firmware is availiable on samfirmware.com registration is free. They also provide flashing tutorials. For any further problems ask me, i'll help

Okey, I changed pit file with odin and after that it works again. I'm in keis with the device connected and in there it says this deviceversion can not be updated.
I would like to be able to update it to gingerbread in keis.
I have to devices and they are both galaxy tab 7" gt-p1000 and one of them is updates, why can't i update this one?
I get this.
PDA:JJ7 Phone:JK5 CSC:JK2 (TPH)
So you have one on gingerbread and the other one is on 2.2, right?
Did you buy them both in the same store/ county?
What is modem etc on the gingerbread one?
Sent from my GT-I9100
The one that I was able to update to gingerbread with keis is bought a few weeks before the other one. Not in the same store but in the same country (Sweden, I live here.)
I don't have the other one at home right now. so I don't know modem (by the way, what is modem?)
Thanks in advance.
Hmm modem dont really know should ask google but i'm too lazy. Maybe these two devices are a bit more different than we think... I really have no idea why kies wont let you update it, sorry. I have no galaxy tab (but maybe in some months?) but you could download the 2.3.3 from samfirmware and flash it. The only problem would be that this firmware (marked red) is unofficial. Means that you might void the warrantee.
By the way 2.3.3 is only official on italian galaxy tabs
I personally live in Austria and bought a Galaxy S2 about a week ago. I think that if it would need a repair i could easily flash it to official 2.3.3 (i am 2.3.4 unofficially) and i dont really think about warrantees.
I am not sure if you would not void the warrantee with an unofficial but not rooted os.
But if you want i can help you to get on 2.3.3. It is your choise.
Official 2.2 or
Unofficial 2.3.3

firstly apologies for duplicate in q and a and the developers section but no one has replied back so Im hoping that someone is the questions and answers can help and put my mind at rest before i press that big bad start button on odin
I have a uk unlocked xeu version handset and can not physically change the csc for some strange reason
i have downloaded odin3 v1.85 and the german rom la4 ... i have everything in the right place and kies on my pc ... but im scared silly of going into download mode and flashing la4 from the dbt csc ... will it work ok on a uk phone without voiding my warranty ??
are there any known issues with la4 and can i return back to the uk version if there is ??
im probably worrying over nothing but have never flashed my phone before ....
ive posted what odin is showing on clicking on pda and then in download mode
is this right ?
I have also included a copy of my latest firmware on my handset I have looked on samsfirmware and cant see this in the firmware list so im now concerned amazon havent sold me a unlocked uk version as N7000XXKK5 isnt listed against uk on the firmware list ....
thanks in advance
I think you may have already flashed it now...

Hey developers,
I allways used to have HTC's, but now I have a SGS I9000. With HTC I know my way with flashing and stuff but now I got an issue. I don't know if this will brick my phone and I can't find too much information about with the search function.
So here goes, I got a hungarian I9000 from a friend, though I'm dutch. Now I want to update the phone to android 2.3 but there are no PAN (hungarian) updates available from Samsung, I tried the registry key hack with KIES but then my phone would disconnect as soon as I would start the update. Then I realised I could flash firmware with 2.3 from another compatible phone version, like the Dutch one. So I downloaded KIES and the dutch firmware but then I realised that if the firmware is not compatible with my version of the I9000 I would probably (hard/soft)brick my phone.
Also, when I put in *#272*IMEI# there is no option to choose between countries for me, which I read all over the internet there should be.
So please advice me in flashing a new stock 2.3 ROM, I really want it to be stock android
Thanks in advance :angel:
Somewhere in here is a guide for flashing stock jvu 2.3.6 with Odin it only takes 5 minutes once you have downloaded everything

hello,
i got a question, I wonder why my s3 is still on android 4.1.1. I cant update via kies or ota, it just says i already got the latest version. Does it have something to do with my provider (proximus) or the fact that I have the 4G version, that I seem unable to update to 4.1.2? also, i never rooted my phone and im not planning on rooting it either.
thanks

I can't see any firmware from proximus on sammobiles, so there is a chance that it has not been updated for them, if you want 4.1.2 I would download the latest unbranded rom for the i9305 (be 100% sure that the model number is correct) you can then proceed to flash this via Odin, you will not need to be rooted and it will not affect the binary counter.
I suggest the unbranded rom because that comes straight from Samsung, and contains no carrier bloatware.
Next time please post your questions in the Q&A section, as it's against the rules to post questions in general discussion, I will report the thread and ask for it to be moved to Q&A for you

Sry but you didn't read it right and it was not a Samsung statement (just a rumor), for now we wait for 4.2.2 or 4.3 on S3 and only in like 4-8 weeks at least.

I would really prefer to not do anything with my phone, I tried rooting and custom rom and all that stuff on my transformer prime tablet and that didn't end good at all, so I really dont want to ruin my S3, as I have no idea what unbranded and Odin and carrier bloatware is... And sorry for the wrong section
Also when I look on this sammobile site for firmwares, I do not see my PDA number. My Baseband version is I9305XXALJ2 and buildnumber JR003C.I9305XXALJ3. I do not see those numbers anywhere on the site, and since you said I had to be absolutely sure I have the firmware with the right number, there is no firmware for my device or..?
latest is 4.1.2 on sammobile .
Updates Kies OTA are via your vendor . They may choose not to update .

The roms on Sammobile are completely stock, but if you have a carrier branded rom, and they haven't updated you to 4.1.2, and you don't want to mess around there isn't much you can do except wait.
But if you have the I9305 you can flash any I9305 rom.
Odin is a program leaked from Samsung it's what they use to flash test devices at the factory, unbranded is just a rom that has come from the manufacturer rather than carrier, and contains no carrier based boot animations or apps etc. Bloatware is unnecessary system apps (for most people) some examples are apps from your carrier.

Man, just download generic (not branded ROM) for your region and flash it via Odin 3.0.7. It takes about 5-6 minutes to flash and you'll be OK afterwards...
I never use branded fw. Every time I buy a new phone, put it to download mode right out of box and flash generic ROM.

The Luxembourg version is now on sammobile and you should be able to update your phone via Kies. This is the version sold by Belgacom in Belgium as they also own Tango.
