[Q] Noob Firmware Update

Hello everyone,
I just received my Galaxy I9000, and made sure i can access the Download Mode and the Recovery Mode using the 3 button combos explained in the wiki.
I bought this phone in the united states, as an unlocked phone. Since i live in South America (Ecuador to be exact), i don't have an official version for this market and i'm using this international version I9000.
Checked the Firmware version installed and is the following:
PDA: I9000BUJP7
Phone: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Also checked the unlock status:
Personalization Status
Network Lock: OFF
Network Subset Lock: OFF
SP Lock: OFF
CP Lock: OFF
My phone's firmware is a provider one (Vodafone), looked in samfirmware to check for new firmwares, but i need some advice:
First, since my phone has a provider specific firmware, can i flash my phone with a "generic" samsung firmware?
If so which ones should i choose the European versions or the America/Australia firmwares??
I see in the list for europa versions this one as the last:
I9000XWJS8 ## 512.PIT Version 2.2.1
And for america this one:
I9000BVJJPD ## 512.PIT Version 2.2 2010 December
I was tempted to go for the european version but im just not shure.
Also what about the MODEM/CSC, do i need to flash those too? since those are also customized versions from the provider?
I dont mind loosing all the samsung apps, and the vodaphone ones, as they are pretty useless here.
Any advice on what is the best path to go from here is appreciated.
I bought this phone so i can learn to develop for android but im really new to this world.
Thanks

Search up goots tutorial. I think the CsC version just determines which stock apps get installed when you flash to be honest, I picked xeu because it's Europe generic but I dont think it matters
The froyo I had from goots link had multi CSC and you could pick and choose

You can use latest European version np. Im on it now but im from Europe but was on JPG 1 week ago and its from Asia. CSC is what gives you your APN for data traffic and the keyboard languages included but u can swap that easily using the Romkitchen or u can input your provider data manualy. Modem is your wifi, data network and gps driver you can use any the one from JS8 is very good so is JPG one. With modem its possible that with JQ1 u cant acces the 850mhz band immediatly but there are allreadu solutions to fix that on this forum.
Best advice i can give u is follow this guide:

Thanks for the help, i will go through the goots tutorial as advised also ill read the Perka's link posted.
And for sure ill join IRC, thanks for the help ill be going through this process along the day (it's morning here)

[Q] Roms for SGH-I987

Hello All!
I am working with a SGH-I987 (ATT) for bluetooth related application development. Unfortunately 2.2 is being a bit of a bear to deal with. I was looking on the forum and found quit a few roms are available for gsm tabs. Could someone steer me to the roms that will support the SGH-I987?
I was looking at CyanogenMod9, but am not sure if my tabs will support it.
Thanks in advance!

If this is your first rom on a tab Id suggest starting with Overcome. A full guide is available too.
Enjoy!

some rom ready?
Hello,
I want to upgrade my att tab, yo ICS or GB (actually froyo).
You know where can i get a full guide and rom?
(i have that unlocked, rooted and with the phone option)
Thanks

everything you read here will work for your tab.
P1000 is the euro generic version, yours is AT&T model that has different radio/modem hardware to suite AT&T network.
Just take note of what baseband you are on (Setting - Phone -About)
After flashing CM9 following the whole overcome restock, overcome kernel 4.0, then CWM flash etc... you then need to find the same modem (search in dev there is modem thread), unzip it and extract just the modem.bin and paste it to /radio/modem.bin
disclaimer is: of course I can't tell you if your tab can then make calls and have 3G. that might be AT&T limitation.. others may know more.

[Q] International P-1000

Hello,
I picked up a GT-P1000 from a friend who got this in China (GSM version) and I'm a bit confused when I read here on these forums as to which version of this tab I really have. It seems like I have the the "latin" version but this model was bought in China and when factory reset, all text is in Chinese font. I'm in the US btw, California
Back of the phone/tab model reads:
MODELO: GT-P1000N SSN: -P1000NGSMH
FCC ID: A3LGTP1000L
HECHO EN COREA POR SAMSUNG
The About Phone reads:
Model Number
GT-P1000
Firmware
2.2
Baseband Version
T959UVKA5 (Vibrant Modem???)
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build number
FROYO.ZHKA1
Sooo...I'm familiar with rooting, flashing, odining vibrants as I've done this for a few years now. This tab's version just has me baffled and I'm trying to avoid bricking. I've achieved root and it's Stock Froyo right now. Kies doesn't support this device when connected so there's no way I can upgrade to stock GB with that method.
My bootloaders are signed and the only .apk that works (thanks chainfire&rotohammer) is:
SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00.apk <-----------this one works
Bootloaders- Signed
Signed: PBL, SBL_Backup, Kernel
Not signed: SBL
Assessment Can only flash SIGNED firmwares
Ready to patch bootloaders...
SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00-P1000_L_N_LATIN.apk <-------Doesn't work
(Your Device [GT-P1000] is not supported)
Sorry this is a lot to read, but I'm trying to be thorough and show my steps. After I patch this, should I use go through Overcome's guide by:
ODINing
"gt-p1000_mr.pit"
"GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar"
"modem file according to your region" which one do I use? JPZ OR JK3? I still want to be able to make calls on Tmo/Att network
DO I HAVE EURO OR LATIN??? Anyone with a little insight that can point me in the right direction would be very helpful. Thank you again!!!

Hi,
Take a look at this http://welectronics.com/gsm/Samsung/SAMSUNG-P1000N-GALAXY-TABLET-US-3G.HTML
Cheers

Thanks for the specs!
Does this mean I have a Latin Version with US 3G support?
Is it safe to say I don't have to Euro/Asia/International version, even though it's default font is Chinese?
How did the T959 Vibrant modem get in there?

I really dont know, mexico uses the p1000L and brasil something else, it seems to be a US AT&T one but i am not sure, it also seems if you have a kernel for your version je can flash p1000 euro version ones, take alook at the dev threads maybe you can find a thread especially for your version. a quick look i found one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408

[Q] Using GT-N7000 software for GT-I9220?

Hi everybody,
I just received a used Galaxy Note model GT-I9220 from a family friend who bought it in China (I'm from the US). I would like to root it and replace it with an operating system of my choice. The problem is, I don't see anything on the XDA Developers site about this model, as it seems to be specific to China. I've googled a little bit, and I'm getting conflicting information about whether or not I can use the same tools as for the N7000.
My precise specs are:
Model number: GT_I9220
Android version: 4.0.9
Baseband version: I9220DDKL1
Kernel version: [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKL3
I know absolutely nothing about using Android, the process of rooting, or anything in-between. I would like to use the guides on this site, but it would be nice to know whether or not any of it is even relevant to my Galaxy note model. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As far as I know, the i9220 is the same as the N7000, you can flash N7000 firmwares on I9220.
Make a search in n7000 section with "i9220", you'll get more affirmative answers.
Then, I suggest you to consult the stickied threads made by dr.ketan in these sections, you'll find every guide you need.
Finally, next time you have a question, post it in the Q&A section
