Hey all these firmware codes are so confusing and whatever but can someone tell me what the newest official Optus firmware aswell as the best modem and CSC for reception I can't update via Kies for some unknown reason even though i installed a supposably official optus ROM :S help is appreciated
Update to what through Kies .2.3.3 is only released 15.4.11 and yet to roll out across all areas .
The rom you installed how is it an official optus rom was it branded optus or did you just update to a stock Samsung rom via Odin .
Kies only produces an update for branded network provided phones if it finds the correct product codes not from stock rom .

Hello there, my phone is an European factory unlocked, unrooted that i have upgraded to I9000XXJVK some weeks ago.
I'd like to know if it's possible to downgrade back to an official 2.2.1 so i can start again updating from Kies. I'd also like to know which Android ROM is official because there seems to be plenty of them.
All Android roms are official use the latest one for your phone .
All Android roms are stock Samsung roms not the branded rom that came with your phone .So no upgrade from Kies as Kies only reads branded phones id .

#How to use the search button and read the post downgrading 2.2 to 2.2
Kies upgrade fom 2.2 will require spoofing fw .

What do you mean with branded? I bought my phone from Samsung and not from an Operator
In which case downgrade current firmware to one below the latest one for your phone on Kies . Then try Kies if it fails its due to your Product Code changing with the JVK flash . You may need to use spoof fw to change product code .

Branded as in Kies upgrades network branded phones by a matching product code if you have changed firmware via Odin codes may be incorrect .

Hi there
I actually did this today (as I want to await the official release on Kies).
Best bet is to use Odin to get to JPU: http://hotfile.com/dl/99955459/dea6962/I9000XXJPU.rar.html (this is a 3 file ROM - I used repartition).
Then use Odin to get to JPY (the latest official UK release): http://hotfile.com/dl/100618077/49a97b4/I9000XXJPY.rar.html (this is a single file - no repartition).
This got me back to 2.2.1 so I can continue to use Kies for future releases. You might also want to check your CSC is correct using *#272*YourIMEI#
Hope this helps.
James
In order to get back to 2.2.1 you have to Spoof a old 2.2.1 or a 2.1 firmware. To get Europe 2.2.1 you can spoof
Product Code: GT-I9000HKDXEU
PDA: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000OXAJF3
Phone:I9000XXJF3
This will make Kies give you

Now when the officail kikkat is avialable to download i am damn confused about regions i should download from ..coz my PDA version and Csc version denote different regions !
So what i need is some expert advice on this as to what to do in this case when the PDA and CSC /Product code show different regions!? Should i change my csc, den how?n how do i know the correct csc for my device coz my PDA shws i have a multi csc ?(n i dont knw what was my csc before i rooted)

So are you having any problems? You can use different PDA(rom) and CSC(sales code) as long as they are from the same android version. It shouldn't matter otherwise. The baseband version will affect your reception and is region specific(ie. What may work well in one region may not work so well in another) If you want stock samsung firmware, the version you install will replace the PDA, CSC and baseband that you have now.

hey thnx for the reply ..
ahan i see ok hmm i sought of got u but still the doubt remains the same which regions firmware should i download now?
My baseband and IMEI denote germany (unlike my CSC which denotes ireland) so should i download the kikkat version for germany or ireland? i reside in UAE so getting firmware of Germany/ireland that wouldnt be an issue ryt?( as i already mentioned the firmware presently in the phone isnt of UAE either n is either of germany or ireland ... so i know geting of a new firmware of these countries shouldnt ceate an issue bt just want to be on the safe side so i am asking u)

So I'm assuming you really want official firmware. I would suggest a custom rom but it's your choice. I don't think installing 4.4.4 official firmware will be a problem, only with the baseband as I mentioned earlier might be a bit hit or miss as it will be chosen for the region where it was released. Also once you install 4.4.4 I'm pretty sure you won't be able to go back to 4.3. The only thing I can suggest if you are certain you want official is try one, then if you face any reception problems or excessive battery drain or something try another one. You are not limited to Germany/Ireland either: By flashing the firmware you download, you replace the PDA, CSC and baseband.

Firstly ya i want the official one coz want to get back my warranty.i know i can unroot to get the warranty back but still i rooted it for being able to get the official fimware on my wish .. but i will surely check with the baseband thing n confirm whether the one i choose will work well i m my region(ie UAE) or not as u said its region specific( that is what u want me to do ryt before proceeding with a baseband Just being sure ..its my first time so want to be clear mate
The question of not being able to go back to 4.3 has confused me like i was willing to back up my current rom so anything as u mentioned arises, i would easily downgrade ! ?
Lastly i am downloading the offical kikkat (from samsung updates.com) so should i back my efs folder and imei as well?any help with that would be gr8

As I've mentioned before when you flash the firmware, everything is included such as baseband
Regarding downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.3, I have read reports saying the bootloader won't allow you to install 4.3 as it is not compatible, but I'm not sure, I've never tried it. Just google and read as much as you can if this is important(being able to downgrade)
Always have a backup of efs folder on your pc. This contains important stuff such as imei.

Hi, I have a question. Recently my phone was updated to latest software 7.1 however i wish to return to marshmallow. This firmware that u have available, will it work for my country Trinidad and Tobago? What are the implications for installing a firmware not meant for your country? Also just for confirmation. The firmware software that I am finding does not match my PDA and CSC number.. Will this be a problem?
