[Q] I9000XXJP0 phone needs I9000XXJP0 firmware?

I have a UK T-Mobile unlocked unbranded Galaxy S (Froyo) which reports the following details:
PDA: I90000XXJPO
PHONE/MODEM: I90000XXJPP
CSC: I90000OXAJPO (KOR)
Does this mean that I need to find/use a "I9000XXJP0 version" gingerbread ROM file in order to flash gingerbread? Or could I flash some other Europe version e.g. I9000XWJVB gingerbread ROM?
I was surprised that this question is not covered in the various gingerbread flashing threads that I have read. No doubt I have missed something that will be staring me in the face once someone points it out..
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.

If you don't want to wait for the official update for your phone you can absolutely flash any of the gingerbread roms on this website. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully.
Btw, the gingerbread rom for your phone won't be JP0, that is a froyo rom. They change with every update.

You can flash any firmware buddy no problems, it doesn't have to be country specific. However flashing a country specific modem will most likely have an effect on signal, call.quality etc. Check out doc's thread as I think there is a good guide there.

Thanks guys. Erm so, if you were me, what do you think my best bet is? I'm thinking of flashing what I have found as being the latest offical build of 2.3.3 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Modem on that is XX same as my current firmware. Do I need to care about the CSC or anything else? (FYI I've updated my original post above to give the full CSC)

Cook up a rom in doc's kitchen. You can have a very good stock rom or a really good custom one.

Wow, romkitchen.org looks very interesting. However, it says "Install from a 2.3 ROM" so I guess I would need to upgrade to 2.3 before being able to use it, which is a bit strange as upgrading to 2.3 is all I'm trying to do anyway. And it says it beta, so I think I'm better of using the ROM in my post above?

Yes, you have to flash a stock 2.3 rom first to get the bootloader update. They are all beta version of gingerbread. Even the ones that got pushed out recently aren't as stable as the 2.2.1 roms.
When I go to 2.3 it will be from the kitchen for sure.

OK. Well, this story has a happy ending. I've upgraded to 2.3.3 (XEE version) using a guide that someone in the romkitchen irc channel linked me to.

As it says in the guide, all I needed to do afterwards was reselect my provider via the APN settings (easy peasy, just selected "T Mobile" from a short list of UK providers).

Cheers for this post to all who replied - just got a Galaxy S too and wasn't sure if there were any caveats about flashing to a ROM with a different ID than your current one aside from normal GSM radio band for picking america vs rest of world etc.

Firmware - newbie help

Hi all,
I am wondering if someone can guide me to the correct direction.
This is my phone (samsung Galaxy I9000)
Model GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.1-Update 1
Base Version: I9000 DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected]#2
Build Number: ECLAIR. DTJG4
It is unlocked - orginally from Optus.
this phone feels very slow and not very responsive at the moment.
I am thinking of upgrading the firmware hoping that it will improve the persformance
Can someone please tell me which firmware will be best for me? I'm not going to root the phone and I am just after most effecient firmware (good wifi, GPS and signal)
I am not sure which one is most stable for my phone.
Thank you

you could flash a stock gingerbread rom.the ones with bootloaders.jvh is pretty stable.2.3.4 ones will have phone fc bug..you'll hv to root ur phone to get rid of that bug..stock roms u can dwnld from ramads thread..for gps/wifi/signal u will have to flash the appropriate modem.there was a thread comparing modems somewhere here on the forum.try searching it.if u really want near zero lags it would be best to do ext4 lagfix..but again rooting will be reqd.gb roms are fast without these but lagfix still brings noticeable change.

Thank you for the reply.
It seems that I am gonna need to do root on it.
If that is the case, It will be much appreciated if I can be pointed to the correct link (tutorial - step by step) to get this process.
After reading some of the psosts I get really confused with all the type of firmware and kernel etc...
any suggestions and links I can follow will be much a great help much appreciated
Thank you again

The below links helped me out.

Read the tutorials carefully, then read them again and again until you are sure and confident. do not use if you dont feel confident.

Make sure you have the 3 button combo (recovery and download).

You should be able to update to gingerbread via Kies JVN 2.3.3 -optus

Nice I'm on 2.3.4 jvr with jvn csc and jv1 modem and its the best combo and I have flashed every rom, samsung and miui

Hello, you can try JPY on 2.2.1, it's a stable firmware without the bugs of the gingerbread, if you doesn't want to root your phone.

Thanks for all the replies guys,
I just upgraded to GingerBread 2.3.3 XWjVN.
My next question is:
If I want to get rid of all those Optus rubish - Can you please tell me which firmware do I need to install?
There are so many types and I really get confused which one is going to work for me.
I have seen my friend's SI9000 very fast and snapy - is the firmware upgrade the way to do it?
Thanks again guys

Flash any custom roms from here CUSTOM ROMS

[Q+A]Definitive Guide to GT P1010

So after following all of the forums with any info on this model of tab i noticed a lot of people asking the same questions, seeing as i have been tinkering and following devs progress I thought Id consolidate as much of the Q+A sprawled across the forums into one noob friendly place. So here goes.
What do we know?
Currently the only official roms are worldwide froyo 2.2.2 and EU gingerbread 2.3.6. The GB rom isnt out over the air everywhere yet so if your kies hasnt got the update and your feeling confident then you can pick up a copy from droidangel.blogspot http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-tab-wifi-p1010-original.html
With detailed instructions here http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-flash-upgradeupdate-samsung.html Read, reread and READ AGAIN. It isn't difficult to do as long as you follow the instructions carefully.
Noteworthy info on flashing:
7zip should be used to unrar the downloaded roms as there are issues with other archive managers, the password is samfirmware.com
If you have connection problems with Odin its most likely driver issues its best to uninstall all kies software and drivers, reboot, install latest kies and connect your device, wait for drivers to install and then reboot again,
If you decide you don't like the rom you can flash stock firmware over it to downgrade and continue to get kies updates.
Is it worth doing?
I have been using 2.3.6 now for a few days and have no issues with light to moderate use, I have noticed a better looking interface(just small cosmetic differences) much faster browsing, and my quadrant went from 750 to 1400, If you have had a different experience please post. This update unfortunately doesn't fix the video out problem or the issue with skype using the front facing camera. In my opinion it isn't an update to write home about but it is worth doing.
Can I install it on a different region of tab?
There have been a few people who have successfully installed this rom on tabs from different regions so it is possible, If you have managed to do this please post your region and method As for trying to flash cross region, ask here and ill do my best to help.
As far as I know there are issues with installing on the Korean version due to hardware differences, more on that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376440
Can gingerbread for the P1010 be rooted?
Personally I have tried Z4Root, Zergrush and SuperOneClick all of which cant get root yet, Skin1980 is however working on a cf-root kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386643 which will allow clockworkmod recovery, superuser(root) and busybox, Please note that at the current time if you flash skins cf-root you will have to reflash the entire firmware if you wish to rollback, This will do no harm as long as you read the forums and have an understanding of what your doing.
This is all the useful info I have managed to find so far, hopefully it can help anyone attempting to flash this long awaited upgrade,
A BIG THANKS to all the devs working on this device!! It is much appreciated.
WARNING: Failure to read and understand the instruction can lead to your device being irreversibly damaged, The different galaxy tab firmware comes in different versions according to Country, Region and Carrier providers. It is possible to brick your phone if you flash it with the wrong firmware which doesn't match your device.
You are warned, proceed at your own risk! We are not liable to any problems you have your device. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT IT ISN'T WORTH THE RISK.
GLHF GIEF THANKS!!

Is it 2.3.6 or 2.3.3?
samfirmware says 2.3.3

Both the samfirmware and kies are 2.3.6 when installed, it must be a typo on sammobile.

In desperate need of help with S2 stock upgrade!

Hello Xda! I hope you've all had a wonderful christmas eve and an even better new year! I've joined this site after headhunting and reading numerous posts touching different topics regarding one subject and one subject alone: Samsung Galaxy S2.
Now, on to the issue at hand. After tweaking and modifying my firmware, in hopes of getting Cyanogen 7 to run along with the ICS theme for it and having failed, my Sg2 has never been the same, of one simple reason: I haven't found the exact stock firmware that fits my phone. When I write "fits my phone" I actually don't refer to the fact that they aren't working as they indeed are, but no-one that's up to date.
The problem could've been easily fixed if Samsung Kies actually worked with my Windows 7 64-bit, which it doesn't, and please, don't point me in the direction of other posts such as "untick debugging mode", "reinstall Kies", "install those drivers by searching 'this' and 'that' on Google", because trust me, I've tried everything. It worked for a couple of days, but now as I really need it, and want to get out of the hellhole I call "KE2", it doesn't seem to want to help me, at all. "This device is not supported by Kies".
Now, I've visited another thread here on xda, more or less this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and dabbled myself through numerous versions until I finally settled for XWKE2 - Generic NEE and successfully managed it to run on my phone with Odin.
Since my phone is operator locked and I'm paying for it monthly via a Swedish operator known as Telenor I'm not able to update the firmware via About phone -> Software update either.
As I said, Kies isn't able to update my phone to 2.3.5/ KE7 (or whatever version is the newest) and I'm thusly stuck with XWKE2 & 2.33.
The most major problem I have is that I don't know which firmware to download from the topic I provided above, and I'd really like to know which one to actually download in order to have the most up-to-date version.
I'd immensely appreciate any help!

The stickies have some good unrooting info. I would just flash a dif custom ROM.

why dont u flash the EU KK2 ROM with XXKI4 modem ...

Seems that I managed to throw in an update after all by simply connecting it with Kies again. Really strange. The information I'm given is that It's been updated to
PDA:KI4/PHONE:K1/CSC:KH1 (DBT)
I know that there's supposed to be released version where a blue animation detail/shadow appears every time you hit the top or bottom page of a settings window or such, which I'm missing, making me wonder if the version I have is the latest or not.
Can anyone possibly provide such info?

Why would I want to unroot it? It's not rooted, is it? I mean, I had it rooted and then unrooted it, causing the yellow exclamation triangle to disappear. I thought it actually wasn't rooted anymore.
-----------------------
Edit: Just downloaded Root checker and my phone's unrooted.

Shameless bump :C

Use Odin
Your first mistake is using Kies. The only reason to even install Kies is simply to let it install the drivers for your phone. By the way Kies does work on Win 7 64 but you should use Odin anyway. I got tired of all the bugs and malfunctions in various custom roms and came back to stock, Gingerbread DXKL3 (waiting for the stock ICS release in a few months). This rom is available here on XDA both in stock and Frankenstein versions. I use the NEAK kernel on my S2, although the Siyah kernel or the Speedmod K18 kernels are excellent too. So is the Dark Knight kernel with the Chekrom rom. Use a CF-Root kernel first to root, plenty of instructions here (just search) but it does take awhile to learn this stuff.

Have a look HERE for Rom's for your phone.
I have used:
XWKL1
Android 2.3.6
Based on official package
in the UK and it is very stable and great reception (for me)
Have a look HERE, has methods for flashing & Rooted Rom's
Very easy to follow and shows how to remove the yellow triangle
Any questions just ask.
edit:Always use odin for PC flashing (firmware KL1 should work for you)

You might get more help in the Galaxy S2 forum.

[Q] GT-p1000 novice - how to uninstall overcome and re-install to factory

Hi All
I have a UK GT-P1000 3G. Never really used it as I just didnt really get on with android (sorry), and I am selling it on, so therefore wiping it and updating it before selling.
However, I bought it used, and I have discovered that it has third party software - overcome- on it - which I would like to remove and install at the very least the factory supplied software, and preferably the latest available official UK software on.
Current details shown are:
Firmware version
2.2
baseband version
P1000XXJK5
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #171
Build number
Overcome v1.4.4
For a TOTAL alien to anything android, could some kind soul please help me out with links and steps to get rid of this and install the latest official uk software on please (ice cream pickle gingerbread sandwich or whatever it is).
I have absolutely no knowledge of anything android, so I need this as quickly and easily as possible please. Googling this stuff gives so many different types of android stuff and variations I really wouldn't know where to start.
Thanks in advance!

There is a link on my signature.
It is overcome method,
But if follow the first part only, it will put you back to stock donation, but an Italian jq1 Gingerbread ROM
Just download the PDF guide, and gb-stock-safe-v5 package.
Jump to page 7 and flash and done.
But you seems pretty inexperience, why take the risk?
Just perform the "factory reset" from the tab, and sell it advertise it as having Overcome custom ROM.
plenty of people will appreciate it.
(But make sure to mention it is Overcome v1.4, which is quite old)
