[Q] Flashing European Kernels on other basebandss - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

well when i got the phone it used to be on I9000JPJG8 baseband, ever since then i switched to a European baseband and been updating it and i'm still using them till now..as i'm on JVQ, but i'm always having problems with the arabic in the roms...even with some patches, there would still be some problems with the browser and some applications when reading arabic.
its probably a silly question but i couldn't find a decent answer for it...would it be possible to actually install the arabic baseband on the phone like the 2.3.3 android I9000JHJV8 with european kernels or roms??
the whole concept of that is to get the arabic into the system...but i'm not really sure if i'm thinking right with this or not

[Q] will a I9000 rom work in a I9000B phone?

Gents, good evening.
I already made my homework about rooting and limitations, but one question remais uncleared for me.
I know there's some differences between the international I9000 and the Brazilian I9000B, but, after rooting, will a I9000 rom (stock of modified) work on my I9000B phone?
I don't care about loosing the TV facility, but, as I'll use the phone in different countries in Latin America, I need to keep the 3 band 850/1900/2100 for 3G connection.
Thanks for your help on this.
Regards,
I've tried to flash this "[ROM][FROYO] Tayutama Edition v1.0.0 [I9000XXJPM]" in my i9000B (vivo) and it wasn't a good expirience!
After rebooting, touchscreen stoped working, actually it almost work, I
had to touch a bunch times to get a response!
I had a hard work to flash my official ROM again!
Definitly there is something incompatible with our brazilian model!
I think we will have to wait the official update, there is a buzz that
samsung brazil will release on dezember (it's hard to believe, lol).
Want an advice: be patiente and wait the official update (through Kies).
Regards
No,
I Have de same problem when installed voodoo. Bad touch screen sensivity, no Digital TV, no Bluetooth.
I9000B and I9000 hardware are diferent.
Waiting for voodoo release or oficial froyo release.
Tks
Alex
Sad to know, the same model is being released in many south american countries, it was just released in argentina, and I was considering it, but if no custom roms work, it will be hard tio part with my nexus
Does anyone have the Brazilian stock rom (unbranded)?
I bought mine from Claro and after 3 days struggling with that f*cking Yahoo search bar and no GMAIL app I decided to flash a new firmware and the only unbranded I found for the I9000B was from Argentina, which works pretty well but I’d prefer a Brazilian one.
If no firmware is available, just the Product Code of an unbranded I9000B to use with Kies will do the job.
Thanks again

Christian, to root, you should google "how-to-root-and-unroot-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-with-a-single-click"
I used it with no problems ans worked smoothly in my I9000B, but as I'm a new user, I'm not allowed to post websites.
Cheers
I f'ed up my phone

In the thread: [Q] Help Rooting the Brazilian SGS (GT I9000B)
Go to page 12, there you'll find links for Brazil/TIM firmware (I tested and it worked fine) and Argentina/Unbranded (Which I decided to keep and use, as it has no operators crap and both, system ans Swype, have portuguese as option).

still only 2.1, right ?
and NO 2.2 on the horizon, much less custom roms ?
i still don't know if there are no custom stuff, cause theres little comunity, or because samsung has to release sources or something like that.
What about now?
Hello,
I just bought my brand new CLARO SGS I9000B (US$ 370 / R$ 600, plans attached). I always was a smartphone freedom enthusiast and i had a few HTC models and an jailbroken iPhone.
My frist question is:
- Is there any hardware LIMITATION in the Brazilian version of SGS? (i know there are some differences, but i want to know about restricting differences).
The second question is:
- How can I ger rid of all BRANDS and SOFTWARE BLOCKS in order to FULLY USE ALL ANDROID 2.1 GREAT SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS?
Third question:
- Is there any Froyo stable version in any SGS model?
If anybody needs me to test something reasonable to reach answers, please ask me!
Thank you for your attention!

Weird Firmware update?

Hi guys put my phone on kies today and a new firmware version is ready to download came up..
i thought yes i have somehow got gingerbread..
when it completed it says froyo 2.2.1 firmware version what the hell is this??
My phone is in the UK on Three network i900nejs2
there are many versions of 2.2.1 maybe you just got a newer version.
there is a way to spoof kies into making you get the very latest release. or you could just flash gingerbread yourself through Odin.
or try one of the many many custom GB ROMs
how do i spoof?
and does it matter that my phone is network locked to three?
can i debrand it or watever?
Simple answer its 3 Uk latest update to 2.2 .1 comes after Froyo 2.2 .
Some put it out others have been very late .
jje
We will be seeing parallel versions of 2.2.1 and 2.3 for quite a while....get used to it. Not all carriers will be so anxious to send out gb to the masses, and many are still on 2.2.
Remember we may be champing at the bit for gingerbread, but likely the reaction of John and Judy Averageuser will be "Dammit....ANOTHER update!!!???"

[Q] Do I have stock firmware installed?

Hi guys,
After messing around with kernels and getting a non responding P1000, I managed to install from Samfirmware, what i believe is stock Gingerbread (Europe).
Everything looks and works fine, but I just want some reassurance that I've downloaded/installed it correctly.
My system details are:
PDA: P1000XXJQ1
PHONE: P1000XXJPZ
CSC: P1000OXAJQ1
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
The only reason I want reassurance is when I connect the tab to Kies, the message "this version cannot be updated" displays.
Is it the fact that this is the latest firmware, and therefore no more updates is available?
Thank you in advance and would be much appreciated and reassuring to get an answer for all you kind people.
If you have a tab that was bought throughg a specific carrier then Kies might not be able to update the firmware.
I have a GTab from Telstra in Australia and using the stock firmware I also get this message. All flashing must be done by either ODIN or HEIMDALL. CWM works so long as I don't need to restock anything....
If you do decide to change roms, make sure you check to see if the bootloaders aren't locked as some of the firmware from samfirmware were found to be resulting in problems...
Cheers...
I had exactly the same message from Kies when I tried to revert back to a stock Gingerbread rom. It seems that there isn't an official Samsung release of GB for Tab P1000 in the UK (if that's where you are) so it doesn't recognise it.
Only way I could get it to detect an official release was with a Froyo ROM.
The JQ1 was released not to Europe, but to Italy.

Yes that's right. Im in the UK. So from what i understand, only way to fully revert back and install Official gingerbread is by reverting than earlier froyo firmware and then connecting Kies thks way, then have it detect and install the newly released gingerbread?

Hi there, yeah i kinda thought the firmware i installed was the Italian release, as the date in Firmware was May, not July when the.official gingerbread was released.
Yep, that's how I understand it. However I probably will not even bother with Samsungs UK GB release as there are much better 3rd party GB options out there already. I'm running BOCA 1.5 and it is so fast - it dosn't have any Samsung apps or TouchWiz, but I haven't missed them.

Ha! Just found the XDA app, makes posting and browsing on here so much easier.
Yeah i would have thought 3rd party options would be better running as they'll omit all the bloatware that comes with the official release. I was just thinking more about the option for the future should i have any reason at all to revert back to legit stock.
There's so many recommendation on which custom Rom to install, i think I'll have to spend some time going through the forums to understand which one will be best for me.
For now, Im gonna stick with this working GB (albeit Italy release) as for now it works and I've not had any problems with doing what i want out of it.

[Q] Regional Firmware Differences? (Or Which ICS F/w To Choose?)

I have a UK Galaxy Note N7000. It shipped with an un-rootable Gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM, so ages back I followed one of Dr Ketan's guides and downloaded a pre-rooted Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM and flashed it. And for whatever reason, I never got around to flashing anything later such as ICS. Now however, I'm getting frustrated with Gingerbread and it's limitations, especially for things like proxies. I'm a bit hesitant to try a leaked Jelly Bean ROM, so I was thinking I would go for a stock ICS with root.
I looked at the Stock ROM Thread and there's loads of stock ICS firmwares to choose from. If I had never rooted my phone, I think I would have gotten "N7000XXLRK---4.0.4/12.07.24-N7000XEULP5---Download--United Kingdom / Ireland" but there are newer ones. For instance "N7000XXLRU N7000OXELR6 Download - Russia" was from November 2012 and XXLRU would be newer than XXLRK by my understanding (and in theory should have more fixes/optimisations/stuff). But what problems could I get with a Russian firmware? It'll still have English as the language on it I presume, so will it be operator branding or pre-installed apps that make it "Russian"? There's also a Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and India ROM that has the same codes, but different download links - will there be any difference amongst them?
I have tried searching for the answers to this, which is how I found the firmware naming convention thread however, the 2nd last digit is supposed to be the month, so I don't understand how it can go above L, but yet these firmwares I've mentioned above are on R. So I find the more I read, the more confused I'm getting...
TL;DR:
What differences are there between regions for firmwares?
Is the newest the "best" or should I stick to one for my country, even if it's a little older?
first back up efs on multiple locations.,
A must do.
first b) Your from the uk, but is your phone:go dial *#272*youremeihere* and observe your csc, this is the csc that determines your country version software. You use other countries, but you will likely corrupt efs, which is why efs backuo is ultra important.
Second go and experiment.
Most differences are regionalization if roms, some special apps etc. All have English as a language.. Go experiment, see which one you like.
Mind safe kernel, wipe and non wipe roms, clean instslls on safe kernel

Flash different fimware

Hey developers,
I allways used to have HTC's, but now I have a SGS I9000. With HTC I know my way with flashing and stuff but now I got an issue. I don't know if this will brick my phone and I can't find too much information about with the search function.
So here goes, I got a hungarian I9000 from a friend, though I'm dutch. Now I want to update the phone to android 2.3 but there are no PAN (hungarian) updates available from Samsung, I tried the registry key hack with KIES but then my phone would disconnect as soon as I would start the update. Then I realised I could flash firmware with 2.3 from another compatible phone version, like the Dutch one. So I downloaded KIES and the dutch firmware but then I realised that if the firmware is not compatible with my version of the I9000 I would probably (hard/soft)brick my phone.
Also, when I put in *#272*IMEI# there is no option to choose between countries for me, which I read all over the internet there should be.
So please advice me in flashing a new stock 2.3 ROM, I really want it to be stock android
Thanks in advance :angel:
Somewhere in here is a guide for flashing stock jvu 2.3.6 with Odin it only takes 5 minutes once you have downloaded everything
