Hey everyone,
I'm wondering what the official firmware for the GT-I9000 is in the UK (not carrier specific) because I'm sending my phone off for repairs in the next few days, and it's the only thing voiding my warranty.
Thanks
P.S: The ROM etc in sig are incorrect.
I believe it's still JVO
I had to return my Galaxy S for repair. I was told that if it did'nt have stock on it, then I'd be out of luck. As it happens, I'd totally bricked it (turned out to be a hardware faults - not sure I wasn't partially to blame - flashing on partial battery !)
Anyway it had a custom Froyo on it as well as a custom kernel. They repaired it and returned it with Gingerbread 2.3 JVO, which is, I believe the most recent version available from Samsung. If you can throw that on it, then hopefully you'll be OK - or maybe you will get away with whatever is on it at the moment !
At the moment it's on JVP, so I can easily flash to JVO
thanks for the help, I think I'll put JVO stock on it and see what happens when I send it in for repair
Good luck
Please let us know how it goes.

Hi guys,
I have used Odin once before when I broke my phone, i have version I9000XXJPK
Can someone please tell me the version i need to download so that i have official 2.2 for UK spec?
There are so many numbers etc im getting lost off.
I have been on samfirmware and I just cant decide which version i need to be official.
My phone currently cant send SMS and ive read thats because of something wrong with the custom FW i have on. (it was like this when i bought it from the shop second hand)
Thanks

Hey there. It can be a bit confusing, but follow the notes on samfirmware and you should be fine. I upgraded from T-Mobile UK's stock firmware (I forget which version) to JPA, via JM4.
I am using JPA now (again, not sure which provider this is, but it seems to be fairly stock), with no problems.
Make sure you check the notes for each ROM (ie, some have an upgrade path, and some do not). You may need to use a different PIT file and partition accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks mate,
All the release dates are old on Samfirmware, the official froyo for the uk wasnt released until November. the latest firmware on samfirmware is October....
Im really confused how i get from my FW to an official newest froyo. Kies wont work for me at all, tried 3 computers now.
Seriously, screw Kies. It wouldn't upgrade my unit (obviously as there was no provider firmware available), so I patched it with the util posted here and it flashed to about 50% then failed, thus bricking my phone in the process.
If you're not bothered about your provider bloaty junk that ships with the phone, you may as well just bite the bullet and flash JPA or JP0 via Odin. I doubt these are UK specific ROMs (as you mention, Froyo was slated for Nov here in the UK) as samfirmware's are all dated Oct 10, but my phone seems just fine- been using it for around 2 weeks now with no hitches.
Best of luck!
How about installing Doc Froyo custom rom?
It is using froyo 2.2

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the flashing world and need some guidance.
Current rom:
MODEL NUMBER GT-I9000
FIRMWARE VERSION 2.2.1
BASEBAND VERSION I9000XXJPY
KERNEL 2.6.32.9 root (at) SEP - 51 #1
BUILD NUMBER FROYO .XXJPY
Old Rom:
It was from vodafone, but i can't seem to find exactly what rom it is.
I had a problem with my stock SGS rom and was forced to flash it, but i now have a different rom installed on my SGS, the booting animation (for example) isn't from vodafone anymore.
And KIES doesn't recognize my current rom (for update), so i wanted to know how could i leave everything exactly like it was before. So that i could update to gingerbread the official way and still have a fall back plan.
One last thing, i used odin (v 1.3) to flash it, can i "safely" reverse from 2.2.1 to 2.2 (original from vodafone)? And how?
Thanks again for the help.
I'm very sorry for the long text.
Just use the wonderful & usefull searchbox and find this:
Rom list
Thank you for the reply, i've been on that thread, but still i don't know which is my rom and if the csc will be return to stock.
Thank you again

Stock is not the rom that came with the phone its stock Samsung rom .
You need to have saved your original rom or find somebody that did .
Your Vodaphone upgrade path through Kies will fail as you do not have a Vodaphone rom .
2.2 to 2.1 via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .Just use 2.1 rom from samfirmware .
May help .

Thanks for the fast reply,
Are there any special precautions or guides to revert from 2.2.1 to 2.2?
With the csc. (i've flashed before but i only had one tar file, nothing else).

2.1 revert from 2.2 just flash should be ok problems reflash with pit 512 and repartition checked .

Also dont be to scared of vodafone. If you have a stock Samsung android, instead of the Vodafone, you still have warranty. Only thing that can happen is that when you send your phone in, they'll flash a Vodafone rom back on and you'll be having all the vodafone crap back on it.
Really? That's the best news i've heard, since i had this problem. Thanks a lot, how did you know this?

The terms and conditions do not say you can flash any old rom and not break your warranty .
The position is one with a stock rom you may get away with warranty repairs but it will depend upon who you take it to and even the guy picking up the phone .
Samsung service centre and they may well repair .
Vodaphone service centre and its clear that they do not have too repair as you have broken your terms of warranty with Vodaphone .
So rule one is a back up of your original rom will nearly always be the safest path it also allows you to use the Kies method for official firmware updates if you want to revert back .

Experience: I messed up 2 of my previous phones (SE and HTC) due to flashing firmwares and brought them to T-Mobile and Vodafone, telling them the phone got stuck in boot. They took them in and when I got them back, they had Vodafone and T-mobile firmware on them again.
But as jje stated, its offcourse always the best to have a backup of your phones firmware. Its always possible some annoying Vodafone guy pops up, and makes a big deal out of it.
Thanks for all the input,
I never wanted to flash my sgs, but i screwed up the original rom and the phone didn't boot so it was my last resort.
Due to that i didn't make a backup.
In kies i have my rom as KOR and it says that i can't update, if i that *#272#imei code and put it in XEU, would it work? In theory.

Is there a way to download ROMs from the Kies server so that they can be flashed manually at a later date? I'm thinking that if I need it, I can flash back to the latest H3G branded firmware for warranty purposes.

Hey all,
I have a wierd problem - and was wondering if you can help. I have tried searching the forums for a solution - but could not find one (maybe I didn;t look hard enough) - so apologies...
My Galaxy S (GT-I9000) has the following spec:
Firmware - 2.1-Update1
BaseBand - i9000XXJF3
Kernal - 2.6.29 root SE-S602 #2
Build - Eclair
Over time have had the usual problem os on-going lag etc etc. But recently I started having the problem where the built in Media player and You Tube application refused to recognise and play any media. Trying to play DivX file comes back with error message: "Sorry this video cannot be played" - and the same for You Tube. The only solution is to restart the phone.
I tried to connect it to KIES to upgrade but it wouldn't have it - so after speaking to T-Mobile tech(?) ended up doing a factory reset. Now when trying to connect onto KIES - the connection is made but thats it. No indication of upgraded firmware etc etc. This I tried on several computers at work and the same result. Than when I tried on my own computer at home - it came back with the following message:
"This version of the device cannot be updated"
T-mobile have advised its a Samsung problem and have refused to help any further - and Samsung have not replied at all.
Any ideas guys?
Also - will installing Darkys ROM be a good move? Will it retain the TouchWiz UI or will that be blitzed?
Many Thanks guys
~LK~
well kies will only update the firmware you currently have...
example, if your phone is t mobile firmware, then tmobile will have to release a updated version, with their add-ons included, so i dont think its a samsung problem as we are almost upto 2.3.3 never mind 2.2 lol.
if you really want to up date your firmware you are going to have to do this 'unofficially' using www.samfirmware.com - to get the latest firmware release.
if you want to go custom, be sure to read up properly and know the ins and outs incase you have troubles,
the choice of which rom to go for is entirely down to you, we cannot say 'this rom is better than that rom'
so whatever you decide to do, be sure to read the instructions that come with it exactly as they are shown
Hi azzledazzle
I have spoken to t-mobile, and they inform me that they are shipping out 2.2 - and soon to be 2.3. Where the phone is not communicating with KIES or KIES not reporting any new firmware or KIES not updating IS a problem for SAMSUNG and not them. So you see I'm kinda stuck.
I can get the latest Samsung firmware from samfirmware.com but to be honest the long winded procedure of using ODIN etc kinda scares me. I knwo for many this is a simply process, but I don;t want to get it wrong.
Just one question - whats the advantage of having custom over original?
Thanks
~LK~
kies works for a lot of us, so i dont know whats happening where you are
anyway ODIN is relatively simple, providing you follow instrctions, in total there is only about 10 steps and you have nice new firmware
anyway there are many advantages over custom rom / original roms/
custom roms give you more speed, many more features, allow you to customise every feature of the phone and get rid of 'network branded' stuff.
you can also install funky fresh themes and completely revolutionise your device
but there are also downsides, Its possible to brick the phone (this can be fixed 99% of time), you lose your warranty, (this can be replaced by going back to stock) and i cant think of anymore lol
there are more positives than negatives, but it lies down to you..
not every android user runs a custom rom ya know lol
Hahah - so Custom wins
I'm in London - just down south of you...so not sure why KIES is saying that this device cannot be updated???
If I put a custom rom onto the device - would I be able to upgrade it to offical Gingerbread(when it comes out) with ease - or will it pose a problem?
~LK~
no, kies will not detect a custom rom
but however you can flash back to a stock rom and then it will find it
Kies requires two critical components to be in place to update .
One is a later version of the firmware to have been uploaded by the phone provider . In your case TMobile they have uploaded 2.2 or 2.2.1 you can proceed .
TMobile in your post say shipping out does that actually mean its on the servers .
Two Kies requires the correct identification of product code hardware id etc to locate the new TMobile firmware if thats not correct it fails .That usually apply to custom/stock roms .
If you have an untouched TMobile phone and cannot update its nothing to do with Samsung Kies and TMobile are your update path not Samsung .

Hi
Just been on the phone to T-mob...and GAWD my ears burning...but anyway - their "THIRD LINE" support person told me that they do updates OTA, and if my phone is not getting it than there must be somethign wrong with the handset. He has advised me to either visit a local Samsung repair centre to have the phone flashed with the latest firmware or T-mob can do a handset swap...
lets see what the repair centre say - and how long it'll take.
Guys - rather than taking it to teh Repair centre - is flashing a new firmware something I can do? Is it easy?
Many Thanks for all your help.
~LK~
it is somewhat easy providing you take your time and read the instructions 2 - 3 times.
flashing your new firmware will take less than 30mins to download the required software / firmware - read the instructions and flash... it will take longer than this to send it to samsung.
BUT and this is a big BUT (like my gf's ) if you feel confused or scared... DO NOT DO IT, the chances of getting it wrong under pressure is high and if you dont know how to fix a brick, your doomed.
if in doubt..... do nout
Hi Guys,
i new here, so pordon me, if i done something stupid.
My SGSL is about 2 months old, and it have warranty of 3 years.
But i can't wait for 3 years than only try the GB firware,
So, i done that. (i mean flash the firware)
First, i try out the GB firmware of I9003XXKPE, (after that, i only know it can't revert to stock rom)
So, i look all over the forum to find the way to flash back Froyo but not luck at all.
Than, base on my 2 month leanning from XDA, i try the below,
1. PIT the phone
2. flash the XXKPE
3. flash again the stock rom of DXKB2
i get back my i9003DXKB2!!
so now, 1 unknow issus, will samsung warranty still valid?
yes it will. no one will ever know that you tried a little gingerbread.
just read this link --->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004622 and you will know how to reflash back your firmware version
and with regards to the warranty issue just read this link also --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174085
Okay! Hey there,
I am from India. One of my friends lost the "application" menu and hence went to the service center. He had XXKPE Firmware on the phone and they repaired the phone under warranty ( free of cost) and also he gave them the XXKPE FW files and they flashed that FW only for him...! IDK, it is luck or what!
Afaik the Sgs service centre in Chennai, they only ask for the purchase bill or a copy of it, and they didn't bother wot lies on the fon! My personal experience after messing up two brand new Galaxy Apollo & this one the very second wk of buying it!

OH common, Really? This issue was already written in the FAQ. Why can't people learn to read
Greeting XDA Devs!:laugh:
Here's my situation. As you can see my GPS does not lock on my N7000 and could not even find a satellite. I've tried a lot of fixes from the play store including AGPS patches. even modified gps.conf from system/etc though i backed up the original one. unfortunately GPS wont lock. I've flashed Angry Vt1 with the OTA update before. but I thought restoring to an earlier and stock rom would help, I restored to IMM76D.DXLR5 build with N7000DXLR1 baseband flashed Philzdxlr safe kernel with my Note but still it doesnt lock only finds my location if i turn on the mobile data but whenever I use a Navigation app "waze" and Google Maps the location where I turn it on doesnt move while im driving.
I Live here in the Philippines i even tried changing the NTP server to ph.pool.ntp.org unfortunately no results. Tried rebooting like hell nothing helped. I found some Stock ICS roms from "dr.ketan" for my country though it has a carrier indicated in it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
like this:
N7000DXLR5---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2---Download--Philippines (Sun)
N7000DXLP9---4.0.3/12.05---N7000OLBLP6---Download--- Philippines (Sun)
N7000DXLR5---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2---Download--Philippines (Smart)
N7000DXLP9---4.0.3/12.05---N7000OLBLP6---Download--- Philippines (Smart)
ive not tried it since im afraid its carrier is locked to the indicated one.does it?
I used to own another N7000 which ran CM10, PAJELLYBAM. but sold it since I have a new Note with ongoing warranty. which I had no problems with its GPS. unfortunately i cant recall what stock rom was in my new note for restocking purposes since i impulsively flashed Angry VT1. i experienced ANGRY VT1 and im never going back to Cyanogen.
So it ends with my basic question for my pursuit of the fix does reflashing other stock roms from other country will fix my gps? currently im downloading JZO54K.N7000XXLSC which was posted by chronosmachine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992573 i wanted XXLSC as stock since ill return back to ANGRYvt1 rom. Does anyone know whats the best stock rom there is? (what i mean best is the fewest issues that goes with the rom, so that maybe i could put an end to this gps dilemma)
Any ideas anyone?
Thank you and good day:good:
Today i tried another fix which is more about the innards of my note. Prying it open and slightly bending the gps antenna. Still nothing. Sigh. I found it in the at&t gnote thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973727 i was convinced to do it because almost everyone who did it Worked. Im sending it to a service center later im afraid its hardware issue like the gps module.
Question if you have a device which is rooted with a voided warranty will the official samsung service center still repair your phone? Or do i still have to restock and unroot?(im sorry if i voided it myself i just like learning at whatever cost)

Gps will not be affected by flashing different rom, maybe radio will affect it but does sound like hardware problem. If you're sending it in, you'll need to flash stock gb rom via pc odin after erasing flash counter. Service won't honour warranty if it has raised flash counter and/or root.
You don't need to unroot, just flashing 3 part stock rom will remove root.

It's probably best to flash one with your csc that was on it originally. In theory you can flash any but to be safe as houses, best to stick with the original csc. If you don't know your original csc (I'm guessing phillipines doesn't have its own?) then any will do.
