[Q] What is the latest fireware for GT I9000?

Hi, what is the latest firmware for GT-I9000 now ? because when I connect my phone with Kies ( Kies version I am using is 1.5.3.10093_82 ), it says
my current version: PDA:JF4 / PHONE:JF4 / CSC:OLB
This device's version cannot be updated.
So this is the newest firmware for now ? since i am new with Smartphone.
Thanks

I am getting the same error. I am from Malaysia where are you from? have you root your phone?

Latest firmware for Malaysia yet to come out.
The Latest for Asian is from Hong Kong(I9000ZSJPD), if you want update using kies, you need perform registry hack make your kies think that you are from Hong Kong(I suppose). However, i cant get HIDSWVER from Hong Kong so not able to update thru Kies too.
I read some thread said lagfix need to remove so that kies able to update it.

I think the latest firmware for Malaysia is I9000DXJPA. This is Froyo 2.2. You need to download the latest Kies version in order to see it in the update option.
I have been using this original firmware for sometime and it is great. It really makes me wonder again, what's with all the lag-fix when there is not lag issue.

What about Europe. What's latest official firmware. My device has i9000xxjm1 and kies says it's latest one :/

Froyo Update for Thailand?

Froyo Update for Thailand? Just checked Kies and Froyo still not available. I'm currently running JPH, and Kies says no update available. Anyone in Thailand with any more info?

you can update ROM by using Odin if you can't update by Kies
How to update (Thai) >> www .droidsans . com/galaxy-s-froyo-update-available

Ok, so Im a little slow when it comes to this stuff. Im trying to understand how this works. I am from Canada living in Thailand. I bought the Galaxy here in Thailand with the expectation to take it home with me. I have looked at the firmware on the phone and tells me its DXJF4. I was wondering why I can not upgrade to Froyo using Kies? My understanding so far is I need to upgrade via ODIN or trick kies into thinking I have a different firmware for it to do the upgrade itself. So Im wondering what the difference is between JPH and JF4?
Also, has the update for Froyo not been released thru Kies in Thailand yet? Is that what the issue is?

Same situation
Hi,
I'm in the same situation, I'm living in Indonesia and on JG4. I bought the phone outright and it is rooted and unlocked. I have tried tricking kies with no luck and thinking trying odin now.
I have the JPO rom i downloaded for the UK, will this kill my phone if i flash to this European rom or do i have to download the update specificaly for JG4?
Thanks!

[Q] Kies Update only in region of GT?

Let me get this straight- Kies can only update Galaxy Tab Firmware if it matches the region of the previous firmware with the region where you are at present?
-I mean if I bought my GT in Hongkong and bring it to Dubai I have to go to hongkong to use Kies to update?

i believe it checks your tab's current configuration of the firmware via PDA PHONE CSC versions. if it matches a configuration found on the server it checks this if its the latest firmware for that said configuration if not you will be prompted with an update notice. if your configuration cannot be found on the server you would get a notice "tab version cannot be upgraded" or something along those lines. i think this is regardless of geographical location.

Does it mean that there is a record in Samsung server of the fw that is associated with my GT when it left the factory?

i don't think so. it just checks for the proper firmware configuration.

If so then how come Kies states that the stock Italian GB cannot be updated? It should instead state that it is the latest......
In another post you stated that the DX firmware you installed was recognized by Kies as the latest firmware.I am assuming you are in the Philippines. If I flash this fw on my tab will it still be recognized by Kies as latest even if I am in the Middle East?

stumped me there.
way back when i tried taiwan rom P1000ZTKC1, kies was able to detect it as official though...

But AFAIK, Taiwan is in the far east so in the same region.
Ahh well, weekend for us here, I might try out to flash the DX firmware later. Thanks for patiently answering.
I do not like to flash/update to the Arabic fw though-I don't read arabic and also not a Muslim so I don't need the Quran , Qibla direction and the prayer times.
BTW, what is the difference between the DX and the Italian GB?

mostly just the localizations/languages available out of the box.

I tried the dx fw and was able to boot successfuly.noticed the extra icon on the home screen-I think it was readrs hub cant recall now. But when I issued *#1234# i only got.the phone part.pda and csc were blank. Of course kies will not see the fw if blanks so I reflashed with the same result-BLANK PDA ,CSC.
At this point I made a decision to give my tab abreak and reflashed to the latest Arabic fw JM5. The process was succesful and Kies saw the fw as the latest. This reinforced my suspicion either the tab is registered with samsung to have arabic fw when it left factory OR that Kies will only update if the tab is within the region.
No rom flashing for me for now. Thanks for replies.

try flashing to xxpq1 first then to dxjpc...
i was having that error with *#1234# when i manually updated through odin

Yes I thought of the csc file you gave me. There is another issue, when I rooted using CF ROOT my dx fw and rebooted the sound which plays about same time as the samsung logo plays about few seconds AFTER the samsung logo disappears. So there was an issue I cant see. This happened also the second time I flashed.
I will wait for the official JM5 update thru Kies and rest my tab for the moment from the stress of flashing.

To put this at rest. It happens via CSC. Sammy doesnt care where you are located. CSC is Country Specific Code. Kies checks phone pda and csc to check the device has an official untouched firmwarr. Then checks the server against the CSC for instance if its ITV italy. It will find the GB update and roll it out.

Then how come when I flashed italian gb fw with itv or xeu csc kies says that it cannot be upgraded? Maybe I the stock fw from xda is not official?
Then the froyo I got from samfirmware happens to be official?
Samfirmware also does not guarantee kies will recognize the fw they provide.

Simple. Sammy pulled out the italian firmware I know what I am talking about. My tab updated numerous times from jj4 to jk5 to jmg with DBT CSC since i got the tab from germany.

Ah ok. Thanks for the explaination. Now only the Asian dx gb fw is official, according to noxxious info.

Available in Singapore according to this:

That is just next to malaysia.

I can now conclude that region where I am in now does not affect Kies. I have since updated my tab to the latest Asian GB even if I am in the Middle East!

Cant upgrade AT&T firmware in the UK

Posting here as the AT&T board is dead
I am in the UK with an unlocked AT&T Note 5 and I cant use the Gear VR as I need the update that enabled it.
I have tried every way to upgrade the firmware using SmartSwitch, Kies etc and every time I end up with stock firmware.
Is there a way for somebody with the updated firmware to somehow upload it so it can be flashed through odin?
Thanks for any help that may come my way it will be really appreciated.

Download latest firmware from www.samfirmware.com and flash with Odin?

help
I have the same problem... Did you find a way to upgrade?

same problem... i wish samsung wasn't so terrible

Just use odin

Force update on imported S10 (different region)

Hey guys,
I have a G9730 (Snapdragon) S10 in Germany, which is manufactured for the HongKong market.
I'm still on the April Update (ASD4) and haven't received any further OTA updates. I bought it via eBay
on this update so I don't know how the April update was installed.
After contacting Samsung they said I won't get any updates unless I'm in HongKong...
Is there any possibility to force an OTA update or Smart Switch update? I already tried a HK VPN which doesn't seem to work. The other possibility would be via ODIN right? But that means I would get all.my data wiped, if I understood it correctly? So I'd prefer another way..
Thank you so much in advance and I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I didn't find anything.
Edit: Maybe this thread should be moved to the questions section?

You can use SamFirm to download and install new firmware with odin .
Write this in SamFirm
Model SM-G9730
Region TGY
use manual mode
PDA G9730ZHU1ASE6
CSC G9730TGY1ASE6
Phone G9730ZCU1ASE6
in odin use HOME_CSC_OMC , not CSC_OMC and your data will be intact everything stays same installed apps ,settings ,etc.....
Cheers

ASE6 update has been canceled that's why no update

I would install it manually anyway.
I'm also from Germany and I wouldn't want to rely on the OTAs.
If you are buying a chinese/HK model for Europe you can't expect everything to work 100% automatically.
If that's the case it's your own fault, sorry.
The ASE6 ist awesome btw.
