Hi
I just bought Galaxy s
PDA:I9000XXJF3
PHONE:I9000XXJF3
CSC:I9000XENJF1
Is this good firmware ? or have there any better firmware ?
Please advise me I am a noob for Android
Thanks
Unfortunately you require the horrible Samsung Kies software (from their website) to update the phone firmware. Mine is updated to JM1 but it seems almost random as to which phones receive updates, my first UK based SGS updated, but the replacement from Portugal did not.
Hey everyone... I got a text recently from Vodafone telling me that my, unlocked and un-branded, SGS has a Froyo 2.2 update... I'm already on JPA flashed via Odin.
I'm wondering if there would be any advantages of flashing the Vodafone version, I know it's already available for Odin flash.
Is it just bloatware? Or would it be worth it? Any exclusive things on the Voda firmware?
i bought a used Galaxy tab, the guy sold me , did tell me that he got it unlocked from some shop. its working fine and i have rooted also.
the question is if i go for updating it throught samsing kies, as ginger bread would be coming soon, will it get locked again ?
thanks in advanc to all the gurus!!..
regards

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.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
The lastest gb released isn't UK, its for Orange Spain.
Hi all,
New here, so please go easy. I had a search around and am a bit lost in trying to find what I am looking for.
Hoping someone may be able to help me please.
Is there a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 unbranded ROM available for the 9305 (4G/LTE) model of the S3?
I have two GT-9305T's and want to get rid of the current the Australian Telstra ROM that's them.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
For me I love the 4.1.2 I will never go back untill we officially get the 4.1.2 thanks to Ausdim we dont have to wait. Its much better then 4.11 more responsive more options and all round better
To answer his question: yes there is an unbranded version for sure. Atm only for 4.1.1. This is one of them: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=9082
(For Sweden, but does not matter, you should be able to use any of them)
I flashed the Sweden one myself since I imported a Vodafone one from Germany.
