Hey guys,
Got a noob question to ask:
I bought a Galaxy S two days ago and would like to update to the latest firmware. I live in Australia and my firmware details are:
PDA: I9000DTJF3
PHONE: I9000DTJF3
CSC: I9000OPSJF1
Now my question is what files inside the 'I9000XWJG3.rar' do I need to flash on my Australian Samsung Galaxy S? As there are 3 files in the 'I9000XWJG3.rar'.
Do I just flash the 'PDA' file using Odinv1.0?
I'm scared about the MODEM file will stuff up my carrier settings because it uses European gsm networks? or correct me if I am wrong?
Thank you.
Also interested in this answer.
And is it worth the upgrade to I9000XWJG3 from:
PDA: I9000DTJF3
PHONE: I9000DTJF3
CSC: I9000OPSJF1
and when using Odin.
CSC = CSC
PDA = ?? which file?? code or modem
MODEM = ?? which file?? code or modem
Thanks guys.
Yep, I'm another one on Optus with the same firmware. The SGS seems a lot more difficult to flash than my Nexus One that Ive had for 6 months now.
Just out of interest for those other Optus Aus users here, did you have an update.zip on your internal mem?
the update.zip was not there when I got the phone.
But I did put it on and run update.zip and now I have a Superuser Permission App.

When flashing with Odin3,
PDA = CODE
PHONE = MODEM
CSC = CSC
Remember to use the .PIT file as well, which can be found here. You will need an account to download it, but that's free..
I'm new to Android too and I'm sorry I can't answer the OP's question, but I don't think it really matters if the files are European, because I flashed with Eastern-European files and I live in Holland. When I inserted my SIM my phone immediately switched to Dutch. You will have to enter your APN details manually though, but that shouldn't be too big a problem..
Hope this helps!
Edit: I'm actually not too sure anymore about flashing with European files, because I just read in the USA SGS topic that the US version has 4 buttons, whereas the European version has 3. Not sure about the Aussie version, but I would suggest you wait for an answer from someone who knows his stuff a bit better than I do
Yeah I am really confused, not sure what to do?!
good..
Hello
here is my problem
my galaxy s has broken down... so i need to make my guarantee work
but i had used the regedit hack via kies to upgrade to JPO froyo XEU from JM2 XEF.
So i would like to know how to go back to XEF and then upgrade to Froyo JPU since France (XEF) has got their JPU now...
ive seen on some topics that people have to use a hard reset with *#272*xxxx# xxxx=IMEI code
but seen that people said that it doesnt go ENTIRELY on XEU
So how can i go back from JPO XEU to JPU XEF ? please
what are the codes to change back to XEF btw in the regedit?
thank you so much
I have a 2 week old Galaxy Tab which Kies refuses to update I did not mess with it in any way, no root, no aftermarket firmware whatsoever...
Current firmware version: PDA:JMG / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM6 (LUX)
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000XXJMA
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9; [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.XWJMG
I got it in Belgium which is where I live but the firmware version says LUX which I assume means Luxembourg. Could this be my problem?
*#272*IMEI# choose your country CODE and press install , this is will wipe everything in your tab .... then check the kies after that
Thanks! I'm trying this as we speak, do you have any idea which sales code to use for Belgium? I tried EUR, it seems logical (Europe?), but I will try them all if I have to -- I'll report back later
Edit: it's not EUR, it shows some weird alphabet, Greek I think I'll keep trying!
Edit 2: PHN gave a Dutch interface but Kies refused to update it as well, so I'll keep on trying different codes
So I tried doing the sane thing (instead of checking each code separately and waiting 2-3 minutes for the device to reset) and looked up every code and the corresponding country. Here's what I got:
YOG (Spain)
XEO (Poland)
XEH (Hungary)
VDH (Hungary)
TPH (Portugal)
SUN (Switzerland)
PHN (Netherlands)
OPT (Portugal)
MOZ (Switzerland)
LUX (Luxemburg)
IRD (Slovakia)
FOP (Spain)
EUR (Greece)
CYO (Cyprus)
COS (Greece)
AUT (Switzerland)
ATO (Austria)
No Belgium... Does this mean I will never be able to update my tab?
I tried LUX (which is a neighbouring country and the code that came with the device) and PHN (which uses the same language and is also a neighbouring country) but when connected to KIES both refused to update
its mean you have to flash your firmware or ask from anyone to give you the CSC files that has your country that in case you are rooted and have CWM i doubt you don't have
so
in second chance follow my guide to flash your stock firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
u must download your firmware , from samfirmware.com but before download any one , check if it has your country or no , by this link http://www.samfirmware.com/samfit.htm
start to copy the firmware code from each firmware up there and see if its for your country or no ....
is that so hard ?
Did you buy the tab from a carrier? This configuration looks like it was made by a carrier or a specialised business. Is it a work tab i.e you got it from work.
In your country the out of the box new tabs should be PDA: JMG Phone: JMF CSC: JMG

now he is yours , you are the pro with kies update
lol, I used up all my Google-fu and searched everything I could think of.
Anyway, I know how to root and flash custom firmwares -- I've done it with another Samsung -- but I just wanted to do this one the "official" easy way. But it looks like KIES won't play nice
To answer your question, I won the tab so I didn't buy it from a carrier nor was it SIM-locked. I'll see if I can find a JMG/JMF/JMG .zip somewhere and report back later -- thanks
cannot update out of box
even i purchased a galaxy tab from dubai but when i connected to kies it said my version of device could not be updated. but then i followed this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13682956&mode=linear#post13682956 to install gingerbread and now everything is working fine, market and everything else works fine but the pda field and csc field shows empty when i dial *#1234# .
Both of you have to flash a stock rom and repartition.
But if you have to do that, why not just flash stock gingerbread?

It's the exact same work to upgrade using kies as it is to flash a custom (or stock) rom using odin3 1.7 (or heimdal).
So in what way is it a pain?
u mean to say if i flash my tab with a stock rom then it can be later updated using kies when further updates are available.

I agree -- it's just that I was curious as to why this would happen with an out-of-box stock device.
I know how to use Odin (that is, I know how to follow a tutorial ), I've used it before to flash an Eclair to Froyo, but I'm not sure which ROM to use. I'm on samfirmware.com and downloaded P1000XXJMQ (2.3.3) -- is this the one I should use?
To be honest, I don't even know which samfirmware.com ROM I would need to revert to my current firmware version (PDA:JMG / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM6)... I think it's either P1000XXJM6 (because of the CSC:JM6) or P1000XWJMG (because of the PDA:JMG)... It's confusing me
So I have 2 questions:
Is P1000XXJMQ a stock Gingerbread?
What ROM do I need in case I want to downgrade to my current firmware? P1000XXJM6 or P1000XWJMG or another one? Edit: I did *#1234# and assume it's P1000XWJMG.
By the way, CSC = Country Sales Code? (just a guess)
Edit: I'm going to flash P1000XXJMQ, I hope I don't brick it, wish me luck I'm a nervous wreck, I drank way too much coffee this morning
Edit 2: the one that samfirmware.com says is JMQ is actually JQ1... still looking for JMQ because I think that's a newer version
Okay, here's an update on what I've done so far and on the outcome...
The link for P1000XXJMQ on SamFirmware was actually P1000XXJQ1 so I went with that one.
According to SamFIT it's for the following regions: Austria, Benelux, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain; which includes Belgium.
I ran Odin3 v1.7 with Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time; I used PIT file gt-p1000_mr.pit and PDA file P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar; etc.
Long story short, I'm running Gingerbread but still no sales code for Belgium when I *#272*IMEI#... so KIES keeps refusing to update. It doesn't really matter now because I'm running the latest but I'd like to fix this for future updates.
I searched a lot but I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone give me some advice?

What message does kies state? Is it "latest firmware" or "cannot be updated"?
If it says "latest" then no update yet is available. If "cannot update" then your CSC does not match any firmware combination with samsung...
If you read samfirmware FAQ they have stated that the firmware they post is not official so they don't actually say that samsung recognizes them.

So far it's always been "cannot be updated". I knew it was a CSC problem, I just don't know where to get the right firmware. That's why I asked if P1000XXJMQ is a stock Gingerbread. I'm going to try and find a stock fw and flash it.
Edit: is this the right one: [stock rom][2.3.3] p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjpz ?
JQ1 is stock for Italy

This worked fine for me. Thx
I am thick as ....so please help.
My UK SGT is:
PDA; P1000xxjq1
Phone: P1000xxjpz
CSC: P1000oxajq1
Brought from CPW -
When I connect to Kies it shows 'this device cannot be updated'
Please in plain, simple, english what do I need to do to rectify this and be able to update through Kies?
I have tried connnecting to Odin 1.7 which is com8 and yellow.
My thought is to go back to stock and leave the hell alone! Unless you advise me otherwise.
Many thanks as always
EDIT: Oh what fun we had......Now I have completely ....... I have flashed JMK stock safe that I saved when I first upgraded to 2.3.3, now I have
PDA: P1000XWJMK
PHONE: P1000XXJPZ
CSC: P1000PHNJM5
As I said I am stupid so please save me before I break it?
X
Edit 2: Ok back to Version 1>
PDA; P1000xxjq1
Phone: P1000xxjpz
CSC: P1000oxajq1
what a waste of a few hours, still no stock.....
Edit 3: Got Kies to recognise and update the SGT yeah!
Damn it, now I still have 2.2
PDA: P1000WJMK
PHONE: P1000XXJMA
CSC: P1000PHNJM5
WTF is going on, can someone PLEASE lend me a hand?
Two things here:
1. Your sales code should match the PDA/PHONE/CSC for kies to 'see' ifcthere is an update.
2. As of this writing there is no gingerbread update for the UK.

I think you have an Asian stock firmware there. PHN is Philippines, I think. So Kies thinks you have a Philippines SGT.
I flashed JJ4 from samfirmware.com, which is a Russian firmware.
I think, from what I've read, that stock Gingerbread is available in UK (sorry to contradict Bongski). Unfortunately I didn't save my firmware before flashing away from stock, so I'm in the same boat as you - no Kies updates.
What you need is someone to provide an official CPW firmware, I think, which you would flash with Odin and then Kies should update you. I tried using SpoofFW from the market, but Kies only got to 25% before failing, then I had to go back to Odin and the JJ4 firmware.
If you're comfortable with Odin, you might want to try that?
If you do get the CPW firmware, please let me know...!
@treb1971
CSC PHN doesn't stand for Philippines. Philippine CSC's are as the following:
GLB - Philippines;Globe
SMA - Philippines;Smart
XTC - Philippines;Multiple
XTE - Philippines;SUN
My bad - apologies...
If you do get the CPW firmware, please let me know...!
Anyone got this and can help?
'I tried using SpoofFW from the market, but Kies only got to 25% before failing, then I had to go back to Odin and the JJ4 firmware.'
I have read 45 pages of SpoofFW and its way over my head!
Thanks in advance
I bought my Note here in Switzerland via a very successful online retailer known as Digitec. Now I don't know where they got their Notes from but the system info in Android said XXKJ4 for for baseband, kernel and build. With my very limited Samsung-knowledge at the time, I jotted that down and believed to exactly know what kind of Note I have. As XX stands for Well, I dont.
I flashed back and forth and stuff and when recently my Samsung-keyboard only spat out "nullnullnull" instead of actual text I was told to flash the correct CSC. Well, earlier, I got myself a virgin Samsung firmware which I found here on xda in the Android dev thread to the Note and used MobileODIN to flash it. Firmware is N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_AUT, so it should be made for Switzerland, I believed. And since it's a full complete stock ROM why would the CSC be somehow wrong? I did some digging and found some stuff:
My devices Product code is GT-N7000ZBAKOR
The PDA is N7000XXKKA
The Phone is N7000XXKK5
CSC is N7000OXAKK5
This raised some questions I wasnt able to answer myself until now. First, ZBAKOR, do I have a Korean Note? Or what does the product code actually mean? Does it differ or is KOR the same for every Note on the planet? What does the product code influence? KIES-updateability?
Then, the CSCFiles.txt in /system says /system/csc/KOR/... instead of /system/csc/AUT/... what I want it to say. Is this due to the product code? How can I make my Note Swiss instead of Korean?
Further, what does OXAKK5 in the CSC string mean? I get KKA, KK5 etc is the version naming Samsung uses, KK5 or KKA would be 2011, December (November?) and 5th or 10th revision, respectively. But what does OXA mean? I could find any info related to that anywhere.
Staying at strings, what does XXKKA actually mean, if its the product code or the CSC which controls everything region and/or language related?
Its all just so damn confusing. Having a KOR Note, flashed with a stock AUT ROM, the CSC is OXA and everything else XX. What the heck...?!
