[Q] getting andriod 2.2 on my xxjm1

since kies does not allow my to get it by default I was wondering how can I get it without bricking my phone.
I bought this on orange, strangely enough it was unlocked.
it says baseband version I9000XXJM1
at the moment its running Eclair, how can I get it to run 2.2?
regards

sadly no reply so far. it might be the way I phrase the question
basically I want to get official English galaxy S on my UK mobile.
I dont know if its possible, or how

Yes it is possible to do and really quite simple.
I also have the Galaxy S on Orange UK and so does my wife also with basband I9000XXJM1
I have succesfully managed to get the official 2.2 onto not only my own and my wifes phone but also my friends LOCKED tmobile.
Every time it went through smoothly without a hitch.
Go to this link and follow the instructions EXACTLY.
It is a very good guide and makes the process very simple.
Let me know if it all goes through ok.
IMPORTANT!!! when the phone reboots it will stick at the glowing S for a good few minutes. DO NOT think your phone has crashed and turn off or take out the battery. Just be patient and it will reboot to a nice new froyo enabled phone.
Each time i have done it all apps and data have remained intact.
Enjoy.
Any more questions dont be afraid to ask

thanks zolah for your help.
this is sorted now.

Was yours directly bought from orange? Because mine was locked and branded with Orange jm1 firmware on it.

if you press *#1234# what does it come up with?

also does that mean you don't have a orange logo on the back of your phone?

mine was bought on orange from e2save or some other website. but not direct.

[Q] Stopped working after upgrade to Gingerbread.

Hi.
We have two galaxy tabs and was upgrading to ginger bread. One of them was succsesful, but the other one dosen't start anymore.
Donno what's wrong with it?
How can I get it working again?
Thankful for any help. (Excouse my bad english.)
Regards Christian.

You can put it into download mode and flash it with odin. Google download mode galaxy tab. Then download the stock gingerbread firmware from samfirmware.com or xda download site. On youtube there are good tutorials how to flash galaxy tab firmwares. WARNING: you will VOID you WARRANTEE
Sent from my GT-I9100

Okey, thanks for a quick answer. Is there anyway of doing this and not void warrenty? Some recovery thing or something?

Well the download mode is the recovery and kies doesn't provide this as far as i know sry you could send it to samsung
Sent from my GT-I9100

But i am not sure if an official rom will void your warrantee. How did you update it?
Sent from my GT-I9100

flashing official firmware in no way would void any warranty.
You need to find the stock firmware (rom) for your Tab and then flash it via Kies or Heimdall depending on which tab you have, that should get you back up and running unless there's an actual hardware issue.

Thanks alot for your time.
There is no hardware error, this is software.
Can someone please explain in steps how to do this and where to get the firmware and roms or is there any good how-to to do this?

Official firmware is availiable on samfirmware.com registration is free. They also provide flashing tutorials. For any further problems ask me, i'll help

Okey, I changed pit file with odin and after that it works again. I'm in keis with the device connected and in there it says this deviceversion can not be updated.
I would like to be able to update it to gingerbread in keis.
I have to devices and they are both galaxy tab 7" gt-p1000 and one of them is updates, why can't i update this one?
I get this.
PDA:JJ7 Phone:JK5 CSC:JK2 (TPH)

So you have one on gingerbread and the other one is on 2.2, right?
Did you buy them both in the same store/ county?
What is modem etc on the gingerbread one?
Sent from my GT-I9100

The one that I was able to update to gingerbread with keis is bought a few weeks before the other one. Not in the same store but in the same country (Sweden, I live here.)
I don't have the other one at home right now. so I don't know modem (by the way, what is modem?)
Thanks in advance.

Hmm modem dont really know should ask google but i'm too lazy. Maybe these two devices are a bit more different than we think... I really have no idea why kies wont let you update it, sorry. I have no galaxy tab (but maybe in some months?) but you could download the 2.3.3 from samfirmware and flash it. The only problem would be that this firmware (marked red) is unofficial. Means that you might void the warrantee.
By the way 2.3.3 is only official on italian galaxy tabs
I personally live in Austria and bought a Galaxy S2 about a week ago. I think that if it would need a repair i could easily flash it to official 2.3.3 (i am 2.3.4 unofficially) and i dont really think about warrantees.
I am not sure if you would not void the warrantee with an unofficial but not rooted os.
But if you want i can help you to get on 2.3.3. It is your choise.
Official 2.2 or
Unofficial 2.3.3

[Q] Please help me ..

hello dear friends,
i am very new to this forum. i have a galaxy note running on 2.3.6 . its model number is GT-N7000 ,kernel number is : 2.6.35.7- N7000XXLA1 [email protected]#2. and i want to update my phone to ICS , 4.0.3 . i dont want to root my phone as i heard that it will void my warrenty. i was trying to update OTA but i am getting message that no updates are found in Chicago. i was trying through kies and i am getting a message that " This model cant support initializing " i am not sure what is that. can some please let me know what is wrong ? my kies is working fine, its latest version and i removed and re installed it again . can anyone please suggest me any good method to update to official galaxy note 4.0.3 without rooting my phone.
any input will be greatly appreciated.. thanks a lot..

It simply means that you'll have to wait for the update. Some are getting OTA some via KIES. Don't worry about the message your getting from KIES. I got.tiff and 2 weeks later it updated to a new version and ran the update to ICS. Its rolling out slowly in different regions.
If you can't wait head over to sammobile.com and grab the firmware to flash yourself with Odin...

the OP said they distant want to root!
As a previous poster has said you have two choices really. 1. wait for the official OTA release, or 2. Download an existing stock ROM that had already been released and flash that using Odin.
Instead of using SamMobile you could download FUS Checker, and use that to download a ROM that matches your configuration (if available.) FUS Checker is a Windows app that searches Samsung servers in the same way as Kies but allows you to download and decrypt the file so you can flash it with Odin.

Please post questions in the Q&A section​

[Q] How to use OTA with a rooted S4 Active?

Hi dudes,
hope you can help me. I had several HTCs in the last years with customs roms.
Since eight weeks I own a S4 Active (my first Samsung). As usual for me I rooted it (for Titanium Backup and so on).
Now I want to update my phone via OTA, but it says "Your device has been modified. Cannot update". It is still the stock rom on it.
I tried Trianlge Away, but it wasn´t successfull - the counter is still 1 (if it is 0, the OTA will work or not?).
What I have to do to update my S4A (I don´t want to use a custom-rom atm)? Maybe it is a dumb question - but I am a Samsung-Noob...
Thanx a lot and merry xmas to you all.

I'm looking for it as well, I saw something about it last week but I don´t remember were (wich xda post) I saw that.
I has something to do with install the root and then install the cwm original or something like this, if I am lucky to find it i post the solution in here for you.
Hope someone help us!

Update works with Kies. After that, WLAN didn´t work... So I flashed a custom-rom 4.3. Now it is all fine

I am not to sure about the OTA updates with the International version. Did you just root the phone? No custom ROM or kernel changes? I will do some research on it though. Interested for my own knowledge as well. I know there was a method for returning the counter to zero with my s3 which might be the case.

Yup, just root it! Not even installed CWM, and just by doing it it says that I have a custom ROM and cannot update. Sad...

I think you flashed a custom kernel to root your phone. Chainfire's is the only one I know?
The Problem with Triangle Away is that the counter won't go down to zero as long as you are on a modified Kernel.
So you will need to flash original stock Sammy Kernel, then use Triangle away and the counter should go down to zero.
That's my experience with this, hope this helped.

Thanks for the tip, I will wait for a big update (kitkat) so all the flashing and backup will be justified. Tks!

Go to service center or try To find somewhere a JTAG. Google it.

Yes it can be. USB JIG is only the way to boot your phone in Download Mode. After that, your only step is to flash thru Odin stock firmware.
Good luck

ok, thanks... i will try...but how can i find a jelly bean firmware for romania? i saw that are for regions,and i dont know wich one to use, i want it to work on orange romania...if you can give me a link or some advice, i just want stock jelly bean unlocked on my I9070P

It should be all good as long as you DO NOT take Hong Kong.
Not sure about P versions but non-P HK versions were reported as messing up - possible bricks.
At 1st everyone who wanted early try used leaked russian JB (before there were official ones for other regions) - it worked pretty much all over the world
