Used market unlock with no vain.

Help is highly appreciated.
Try to flash other Firmware version. like KL8........

My new SGS just got delivered today, bought it brand new from ebay, it is unlocked but from orange so there are a few orange bloatware apps like maps etc, not happy with these and want them gone but after trying kies it says my firmware cannot be updated (maybe due to being branded)?
Anyway just wondering which of the unofficial firmwares to flash from the samsung-firmwares website, I understand they come with certain files that may put phone into russian or make it so market does not work properly, some advice on this matter would be appreciated, I'm in UK if that helps. Cheers lads.
Oh and my current versions are
PDA I9000XXJF3
PHONE I9000XXJF3
CSC I9000RAJE5
Hi Davey,
I've just done mine for the first time tonight. I used firmware JG1, but used the CSC file suggested on the main thread firmware thread (cant do a link, forum wont let me).
A couple of notes - I originally tried using a front USB port on my machine and it stuck on file analysis. Worked better when I plugged it in round the back. Secondly, mine showed up on COM5 not 7 as in the guides but it seemed to make no difference.
Good luck!
Cheers pal, jsut wondering have you had any issues with the firmware you used? Russian language? Paid apps not showing up in market? Thanks.
No russian as long as you use the separate CSC firmware (CSC_I9000OXXJF9), and no other issues other than swype crashing the first time I tried to use (restarted the phone, problem solved).
Some apps arent showing up though in market, and I think a root is needed to fix it unfortunately. Not a big deal though - if you're willing to attempt the firmware, than I doubt rooting is a particularly big deal.
I'm in a similar position. T-Mobile UK, galaxy to arrive tomorrow.
I've seen several people complaining about lag on the phone until a firmware upgrade. Could someone point me to a post/website that gives a list of the latest firmwares and a step-by-step guide to installing them on the phone.
Thanks
same here, i have found a few rooting + firmware article from other websites / blogs.
however I only trust the guides from XDAdevelopers

http://www.samsung-firmwares.com (register, login and select "i9000" from the list, the firmware files and guides are on the same page, as are the links to dowload the required tools).
I am on UK T-Mobile and have followed these videos in the order listed and have had no problems doing so:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpWcM44On88
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzFE8-jWku0
The above is to update the firmware, the only thing I did that was not on the video was to use a different CSC file (Not the Russian one, I used CSC_I9000OXXJF9), doing it this way, I had no problems with using Swype as some have reported.
I then applied Paul's Custom ROM R2 from Modaco (Great Job) - the update roots the phone so you do not have to. It is all worth it as now my GPS, Wifi and speed all work wonderfully. the video of how to update the Custom Rom is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uakGtQKmHNM
Remember to restart the phone after updating the firmware and also after updating the Custom ROM. Also make sure that you have installed the latest version of Samsung's KIES software which contains the drivers needed for the SGS. Also if you carry out this part, make sure you copy the update.zip file to the internal memory card for update to work as it fails to read from the external one.
I did all this on a Notebook running Vista 32bit without any problems.
Just bought a Galaxy Tab from a coworker whom had already rooted and installed a custom firmware (Overcome). However, I want to re-stock it to its original state but I´m having trouble finding the correct firmware for my region Norway (Nordic).
I have tried the re-stock option that Overcome has described but this stock rom does not include Norwegian as a language. Can anybody please help me?

Hi, I'm actually having the same problem. And especially now when I've bought the nordic keyboard dock too, that doesn't work unless I have the original firmware. Anyone have any suggestions? Really need help, been working all day to fix this...still no luck
I'm giving it a try by spoofing FW with SpoofFW from market (but i got into trouble with the backup part of it)
discussed here:

Now running stock gingerbread NEE firmware on my tab - weird thing though is that most of my old apps and accounts still work?
I'm not sure if I should do a factory reset or not, ppl seems to have had problems with it...
Had the same issue with not being able to get Danish samsung keyboard again after flashing custom rom. Some people even said, it was not possible to download a nordic rom.
Using the web version of Check Fus I was able to dowload a Nordic rom by selecting Sweden, and after installing it with Odin and the mr. pit file from samfirmware I finally managed to get a Nordic firmware with Danish keyboard working with the keyboard dock.

I got this unit, relatively cheaply, in china. I realised it was rooted on two items: superuser was installed, and when keeping the start button depressed it came up with some chinese menu for shutdown, even though the os language was set to english.
I could set up my google account without problems, but i couldnt access the market. It was as if they used a short cut with an android market icon. Having said that, when i went to the market website online, i couldnt sign in on that. My non rooted htc phone has no problems accessing the market.
Interestingly, when i connected to wifi it popped up a softwarenudate notification, which it couldnt download due to absence of a SIM card (i didnt put my sim card in it yet)
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions?
What is your usage location?
what version of ROm you have? (setting - about phone)
you have to see there
baseband version ?
Build version?
Kernel version ?
Right, i managed to get the market working by performing a factory reset.
Baseband version=N7000XXKJ6
Kernel=2.6.35.7-N7000ZSKK1-CL706440
Build=GINGERBREAD.ZSKK1
Right now i found that the problems i ave with this build, is that any firmware updates cannot be installed (i get a registration error message, and yes, i did register the unit with samsung).
It also contains several chinese apps that i cannot uninstall and are a nuisance.
One is called 360-something (its in chinese which i dont read), another one is called Gexin. Both apps actually report new messages.
There is also a QQ security app running (i know QQ is very popular in asia).
Ideally id like to have a UK or US original firmware, so i can update to ICS when it comes out in the next month or so. But a modified US orUK rom would probably do as well if necessary.
You can get all available ROM here

Well am not sure about this forum. i read that Odin is not available for Mac. So please read carefully before flashing
So, I have a Lumia 920 and I want to install a xap that is published on a specific country (not US).
I've tried downloading it manually and sending it via e-mail but it says it can not install this "enterprise" app.
I have the phone dev-unlocked and I can install xaps I create myself.
What are my options apart from cannibalizing my MS Account (change region to that country for 3 months) or hard resetting the phone with another account?
Thanks in advance.
PS: To be clear, it's a banking app from that country and it's free. I just happen to live in an other country and they are not publishing it here.
just change region in setting (no hard reset needed) and install app... after you done you can change to your region again... i install many apps from others regions without problems and work fine after that in my region
... so easy!!!
Thank you very much!
I did some testing with my S20 FE 4G Snapdragon and some disaster. So I downloaded via Frija the latest Italian firmware and flash it via Odin. The Sim is active and yet I always end up with a firmware that looks Russian, when I first restart the phone and the selection of additional Samsung apps to install appears they are all in Russian and then among the bloatware I find a Russian folder with Yandex and other apps that I can't even uninstall. I've tried the same firmware from different sites, even one more less recent, but nothing, I'm always in the same condition. How is this possible? And above all how can I flash an Italian firmware or at least one without Yandex and other Russian apps?

total guess but maybe it's a multi CSC rom you flashed and as far as the rom can tell (based on what it's expecting) your SIM card is being seen as Russian.
take the card out and reboot, see what you get then!
Hi!
It's as you say, the phone is European (the seller had told me it's Italian, whatever).
The firmware for many countries is always the same and and when I turn it on after flashing the correct CSC is not recognized for my phone.
I tried everything: older firmware, flash with sim, without sim, dozens of factory reset with and without sim. Then also to use via phone a code + imei (as many guides explain) and also to download google phone and try to change csc with that, but nothing to do.
I've read that other people have the same problem, I understand that it's an additional block created by Samsung to prevent the phones from being de-branded or used in a different place than where they were purchased.
The only thing you can do, apparently, is to buy credits for the Samkey software which should fix the problem. For this phone it is needed 10, we're talking about 30 euros. In all sincerity I don't care and I keep it like that, especially since I managed to flash the Indonesian firmware so I finally have native call recordings, then if I ever sell it I'll reconsider...
