[Q] Upgrading to Gingerbread without messing up Kies - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I would love to upgrade my P1000 to Gingerbread.
At the moment the infos about my device are:
PDA: P1000XWJMI
PHONE: P1000XXJMA
CSC: P1000CPWJM2
This is what I see pressing *#1234#
Now the About Device menu says:
Model: GT-P1000
FW: 2.2
Baseband: P1000XXJMA
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.XWJMI
As stated above I would like to upgrade to a stock gingerbread release so that Kies does not say unable to update your phone. I guess I need proper files to do that. Can anyone address me to the right links and of course the steps to do it via Odin (what to check/unchek etc)?
Thanks in advance,
Fed.

Read the development section. There are PLENTY of posts on how to do it.

Sorry, but the forum is full of posts and i can't find specific threads for my issue. Informations are here and there and as you know understanding one little bit badly could make me brick my P1000. I would need to know what software to use so that the phone regional settings do not mess with Kies. If possible a link to a post (or more posts) and links to softwares are welcome.
Oh, knowing how to make a dump of my actual ROM would not be bad if anyone can help.

Your present firmware XWJMI is European(Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom).....
Unfortunately there is still no official upgrade for your region from Samsung so whatever ROM you flash whether from this forum or elsewhere, Kies will always see it as "cannot be updated".
Unless you want to try the Asian firmware-like I have.......

i9000 Firmware Update Question

Hi,
I am glad I found this site, excellent source of information.
I have a question regarding updating firmware on the Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
My phone currently has firmware I9000XXJF3, looking over at samsung-firmware it seems that the latest version available is I9000XWJM2
My question is, will my phone be compatible with this firmware version? should I not go beyond the I9000XX releases? Languages don't mean much to me personally because I only use English (hopefully XW has it!)
If I do install I9000XWJM2 will the other 'tutorials' work for me as well? (the lag fix, etc)
Your help is appricated!
those XX doesn't mean anything related to the specificity of the model (i9000). In other words, yes, you can flash the new firmware without problems. In general you should make sure it's for i9000, but not in the name of the firmware, cause it's rather confusing. You should look for a thread of this firm and check it's for your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733368
Yes, tutorials still works!

[Q] What is the original rom?

Curent Version: PDA:JPH/PHONE:JPH/ CSC:JPH
This device's version cannot be updated.''
,and the phone is bin bought in Ireland, Vodafone.
I'm lucking for latest PDA:
PHONE:
CSC:
files, what should be on it at this data.
Please Help me, and will donate to helpers.
Thanks, and sorry about my English
You have a leaked testfirmware installed: JPH... there is only one newer testfirmware: JPK, but there are no bis differencies to you JPH so you dont need to update. Android 2.2 (Froyo) is officialy not released by samsung, we are all wating. So it is all okay for you. Wait until samsung releases froyo officially and you can update. Your original firmware depends on the provider from which the phone may be bought in ireland.
... But please use the right sections to post here.. This is android development. We have a section especially for questions and answers.

if you are the europe model i9000
then it's either JM1 or JM2 some people claim JM1 is better, but newest is JM2
if you have the i9000m canadian model
then latest is JH2
Today's lesson: Don't buy phones from gay people.
Ok, I'm will use I9000XWJM2 rom, but what about phone and csc files???
same for all 3
if you got to samsfirware site they will have all 3 zipped in 1 package

[Q] Permanent Locale Change re 2.3

Hi folks. I've searched the forum and can't find anything that specifically addresses this particular issue.
I bought my SGS I9000 unlocked in Egypt (yes, I was recently evacuated) with 2.1 and have updated via KIES to 2.2. My phone is rooted and has the Arabic firmware.
My currently installed versions are:
PDA: I9000JPJPG
Phone: I9000JXJPE
CSC: I9000JPJPF
I don't want the Arabic Firmware and want to permanently change to a US firmware BEFORE 2.3 is released and I want to retain the KIES upgrade capability. My question is this: How do I change the permanent location of my phone so all future KIES upgrades will be automatic? Thanks.

Just curious, why do you want to retain KIEs upgrade capability in the first place?
Well basically I jusy want to retain my apps (I know about and have AppBrain) and I want the phone to be as though it was bought here.

[Q] Flashing new firmware

Hi Everyone,
My first time diving into this forum. Sorry if the answer is out there already, but I couldn't find it
There are just so many threads in here about flashing..
I've had my Galaxy S for a few months now and rooted it with Z4root as soon as I got it. That was easy enough..
What I'm confused about is flashing new kernels to the phone.
As I understand it, these are the details about my phone which I obtained from the "About Phone" menu.
Samsung Galaxy S (Rooted)
Model number: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000 ADJP3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 (root - SE-S608 # 1)
Build number: FROYO.ADJP6​
What do I have to always consider when choosing a kernel or rom?
Is it the current firmware version and the ADJP3part in my case?
For example:
I've been reading loads of websites about flashing firmware and came accross the samfirmware WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm website that lists all the Samsung Galaxy S related firmware.
I think it's pretty good and understand that I should only be looking at the European list in blue as I'm UK based.
Looking down the list I can see:
I9000XXJP3
512.PIT
Version 2.2
2010 August​
According to the details I gave above. Is this is the version I currently have installed?
So where can I go from here?.. Can I only install the ones that have XXJP or can I install any of the others?..
Just not sure what to look out for and want to get my flashing adventure off on a good note
My advice would be to read the FAQS on the ROM Kitchin pages then build your own rom .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703

XXJP modem and CPW csc should cover all UK networks the rests you pick yourself .

[Q] Update P1000 to gingerbread ?

Hi.
Since I'm new at this kind of thing I could use some advice from you smart people.
My firmware is still on Froyo, and I have been waiting for an official update on Kies for long time, but nothing happened. So I went checking today if it's available for my country (which is Croatia).
And it seems there have been 2 updates since Froyo: Croatia (T-Mobile) CRO – P1000BOJPD / P1000CROJPA (Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread
and
Croatia (T-Mobile) CRO – P1000BOJQ3 / P1000CROJPA (Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread
Considering I didn't get any update from Kies, I guess my tab hasn't been distributed by T-Mobile.... (i won the gadget on a game, so I can't realy tell for sure where it came from).
So can someone please help me with what firmware I can install by not using Kies?
Is the firmware by T-MOBILE for Gingerbread 2.3.6 usable for me?
The data found on internet for 2.3.6 are different from what I have in my tablet, so I realy need this advice.
Copied from a website for T-MOBILE 2.3.6 update, it says:
GT-P1000CWACRO
PDA: P1000BOJQ3
CSC: P1000CROJPA
Phone: P1000BOJP1
Download: P1000BOJQ3/P1000CROJPA/P1000BOJP1/P1000BOJQ3
And my tablet lists out this:
PCode: GT-P1000CWAVIP
PDA: P1000XWJMK
PHONE: P1000XXJMA
CSC: P1000OXFJM5
(This last three letters on my tabs Product Code: VIP makes me think the provider the tab came from could be VIP.)
Thx for any help I can get.
