I have search these forums for an answer to this, but cannot find a answer to this exqact question and don't want to start installing ROMs unless I really have to.
I rooted my UK uynbranded Tab using Z4 root a while back. I saw gingerbread is now available in my region so tried to update, but Kies is telling me an update is available but refusing to update my tab. I unrooted the Tab using Z4 root and tried again, but still without success.
Currently my version reports:2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1, build FROYO.XWJJ7, baseband P1000XXJK5
Do I really need to reflash to a stock ROM?
If I must, could someone please recommend a tutorial to help me, I see several guides but no idea which is the right one for my circumstances.
Thanks
Gary

Okey, first of all, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, so I need some help.
After long browsing I was able to root my Samsung Galaxy.
Now I want to update my Galaxy from 2.2 to Gingerbread.
Since I rooted my Galaxy it won't connect to Kies anymore, so I guess Kies won't work.
I have an Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
FROXO.XWJPA,
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Is it possible to update, if yes, how?
Thanks
anyone? :l
Go to samfirmwares.com for the latest firmware

Download a FW from Samfirmware, the latest is I9000XXJVR (Its 2.3.4), then via Odin you flash a 3 file's, its CODE, MODEM and CSC, and pit file and tick re-partition
Xooley,
I'm new on the forums so cant post any links but if you search for "how to use Odin" then it's really not that difficult.
The biggest decision you have is whether to stick with a "stock" copy of firmware i.e released by the manufacturer or install one of the modded versions from the hard working developers on XDA.
if you have a rooted phone then this wouldn't normally prevent KIES from working, so it might be that your carrier (orange?) hasn't release a Gingerbread version yet.
You can get most stock roms from samfirmwares as stated above. If you've never installed a rom before, make sure you read about it (checked youtube) to see if there are any problems with the one that you have chosen.
best of luck
I looked and couldn't find a match to what i needed so if it is somewhere please point me in the right direction.
So here's the thing i have a GT I9000m through bell. I have done a few upgrades and modifications without a real understanding (like senior members or moderators)
Any way here's what my phone looks like now
Model NUmber
GT-I9000
Firmware version
2.3.4
Baseband version
I9000UGJL2
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVQ-CL281085
Build number
DarkyROM JVQ v10.2
So what i would love to do is bring it back to how i got my phone when i left the bell store(the 3rd time) back in Jan. So what i'm looking for is a complete idiots guide to going back to original firmware so i can start from scratch and update to the real gingerbread release then root my phone again. Now if anybody has any better ideas to make my phone run smoother, faster and still have a nice sleek look that would be GREATLY appreciated.
The reason why I want to do this is my apps force close,my map randomly closes, and it reboots out of nowhere.
P.s. I want to be able to update with kies in the future too. (Might be a whole different thread with that one)
Okay, it's easier than it sounds. Rule number one its not to panic. I know I'm not a senior member but I didn't join until I knew I could contribute. I've been where you are, and this is the best way I found to go almost stock. Go to the development section and look for a thread by Ramad, it has a ton of stock firmware that has been pre rooted, deodexed and zipaligned. This means that it has superuser capabilities, runs as smoothly as possible and is as good as it gets without a custom kernel. You want the firmware that is known as UGKG3. Look in the general section for a full guide on flashing with odin, but really you just flash in download mode with all 3 files and the 512.pit file. You need repartition to be selected. This will give you an almost stock, smooth as possible, rooted phone that can be updated with kies.

Oh, note that before you add any apps, you can install themes that require you to be deodexed. You did say you wanted a sleek look, you can check out the theme and app section for more info on that.
I too am looking for the stock froyo for i9000m. I have installed two separate packages both claiming to be stock bell firmware, unfortunately they have both ended up with the product code of XEE (sweden I think) when I want BMC. If someone could point me to stock froyo so I could update to stock gingerbread via kies I would be eternally grateful.
I have tried spoofing the product code which allows me to initialize the update in kies but I get stopped before anything actually happens with a "this version of the device cannot be updated" error.
The kies thing is kind of important since I plan on selling this phone to upgrade to an sgs II.
Thank you in advance.
Hi everyone,i got some questions about rooting a samsung galaxy tab gtp1000 running in 2.2 froyo android.
Does rooting a galaxy tab without flashing anything to it has risk of bricking it ?
Well I just want to uninstall old apps and install some apps required root access such as sixaxis controller support,droidwall,adblocker for browsers,new sywpe (mine has preinstalled sywpe and unable to upgrade to latest version).
Well iam not really sure what does rooting means.does rooting means example creating a adminstrator account and has access to everything ? without any risk except upgrading android version like 2.2 to 2.3 ?
Hope someone can answer my question
Thank you very much

You should be able to use SuperOneClickRoot if you're going to stay with froyo (2.2) and shouldn't have to worry too much about bricking anything (these devices are hard to brick in general worst you do is soft brick and have to go back to stock) Rooting is exactly like having adminstrator access. If you're thinking about going to 2.3.x you'll want to find a pre-rooted rom.
Hi again,thank you for your reply.i just rooted my galaxy tab today using superoneclick,at first the app crash for unknown reason.second it went not responding.but i tried it third time and waited awhile to finish installing files to my galaxy tab and i finally got the successfully rooted message.
By the way, my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 is now still running in Android 2.2 Froyo Rooted.can i just update the firmware to 2.3 gingerbread through official samsung kies program on pc ? Or i have to unroot my galaxy tab to update to official ginger bread 2.3 update ?
And just to let you know that i just deleted mine preinstalled swype and installed new swype beta.not sure if it's safe to install an official update.
Before i rooted my tab the samsung kies program found a new firmware update for my tab which has some long code and jpi something i can't remember it correctly,not really sure if it is gingerbread update
I just notice that when i open more than 2 apps some apps automatically closes itself.does anyone know what is causing it ?
Samsung kies kinda sucks since the usb connection kept disconnecting it's kinda hard to backup stuff.not to mention backup some small files takes ages too.
That's how I got started. First I rooted my tab, after seeing how easy that was I tried a new ROM. After seeing how easy that was, the next thing I know I've been through 3 different ROMs now.
Then I hear about the newest version 2.3.5, which is suppose to rock. So I decide to go back to stock, so I can have a clean flash of the newest version. That is where I made my mistake. I grabbed the wrong version (GSM instead of CDMA) and soft bricked my tab. After following some advice I got, I eventually hard bricked my tab.
RESEARCH! If you decide to try new ROMs research and read the thread fully and if you still not sure ask questions.
Well that is what i am doing now.trying to confirm if it's safe to do it and that.anyway i hope someone will answers my questions soon
Hi can someone help answer my questions at post 3
New Note owner here, but definitely not new to Android or Samsung devices, for that matter. I immediately updated to 2.3.6 (see attached) as soon as I got the device, but now realize I would like to root the device, get the note-specific (custom) version of CWM, etc.
I really am not interested in a custom rom, just want root. Can I flash a pre-rooted rom by loading from the MicroSD card?
I did look around, but I am finding conflicting info on the best root method after a 2.3.6 update which wasn't rooted previously and prior to. I see some posts about downgrading but is that safe?
Thanks, just looking for some solid advice.
-Rob
I just got my note today as well (LOVE IT!!!) I also updated immediately and the root+CWM method here worked perfectly.
Thank you!
That worked, thanks for steering me in the right direction. Much appreciated!

Were you already on stock KL7?
I tried dl'ing the KL7 package and running "not rooted yet", but it blocks the image write and just reboots.....
Any ideas?
Mark,
I think it is possible I have a different build. Mine shows KK9.
But, to answer your question, my unit was a German unit purchased from Amazon. It came out of the box with 2.3.5 and immediately wanted an update to 2.3.6 when I set it up. I went ahead and did the update.
Then, I realized I wanted to root. I followed the link from the first response in this thread and had no issues at all. The ZergRush exploit went off without a hitch on 2.3.6 - and after that I did install the slightly modified kernel to get the customized CWM for this Note, etc.
I hope that helps, let me know if you need further info.

Hi I think when it came from germany you are able to do one more update about OTA, because we are currently using KL7 it came after the KK9 update.
Just try to do the update OTA
But...
You appear to be correct on the update, I just did check and it looks like a 71MB firmware update is available.
But, should I do this OTA from KK9 to KL7? Will I lose root and CWM?
I hav answerwd u, sm other place b4 five min
Yes u will lose. I explined u how to update there
Yes, indeed you did. Thank you. I didn't intend for a cross-post, I just wanted to leave that here as well so it might help others. I agree it makes much more sense to use Mobile Odin Pro to flash the full ROM, and that is what I am going to try.

Forgive me I am a noob. I recently rooted my AT&T S5 cause was waiting for the 5.0 update to come out. I decided to go back to stock and upgrade and removed the root all except the bootloader still appears with custom when starting phone and is only trace of root is all can seem to find but is keeping me from installing new 5.0 as it gets to 28% and restarts says unable to install instillation interrupted. How can I replace bootloader with stock one and where may I find one? Any and all help appreciated. I am running 4.4.4 android and is a SM-G900 AT&T S5 with kernel G900AUCU2AOA1.

Install Samsung Kies on your PC/MAC, and try flashing a new firmware with Kies. Follow the on screen instructions
I have tried that and tell me that my software is up to date have also tried a few different stock roms which were supposed to work with my phone with Odin and they all fail.
