[Q] Which 2.2 ROM for Australian phone in USA

Hi,
I've recently moved from Australia to the USA (with an AT&T sim) and would like to upgrade to 2.2. Kies still does not have an image available so I'm looking to flash it myself but not sure which ROM file to use.
The phone is unlocked and unbranded. The version details are:
PDA: I9000DTJG4
PHONE: I9000DTJG3
CSC: I9000XSAJG2
I've been reading about the I9000UGJK3 image but I believe that installs the Bell branding on the phone, which I'd like to try avoid.
Which image should I be using?
Thanks
Ivan

if the KIES comes back with no results for Froyo, then that means it has not been released yet for Australia region, and you will have to pick from any of the other flavours available
or stay in 2.1

Thanks for the quick reply.
According to regedit I have a GT-I9000HKAXSA. This doesn't seem to be listed as a "known" product code just yet. Which might explain why Kies doesn't have an update for it yet.
I guess what I'm trying to determine is a) can any image be placed on any phone? b) if yes, then what would be the best image if I wanted to flash my phone and have it work in the USA on AT&T (I'm trying to make sure that my correct 2/3G bands are still going to work post flash)

Dude, I did this tonight and it worked
http://webtrickz.com/how-to-update-...oid-2-2-froyo-via-kies-anywhere-in-the-world/
And I'm in Australia on the optus network
I just couldn't believe the lag and I didn't want to root my phone just yet
I also couldn't believe that Vodafone got froyo straight out of the box!
when it says "refresh" after you've done the regedit bit it means hit your home button. worked straight away

Vodafone straight out of the box?!? Where did you hear that? Not true I'm with vodafone australia and we got eclair, I did the reg edit to get XXJPO like you

Thanks Guys, I managed to sort this by using Odin and putting I9000XWJPA on it. Almost bricked the thing b/c I didn't read all the documentation completely!
Seems to be working like a charm at the moment.

My T-Mobile Streak got Honeycomb!

Hi,
First off I bought my T-mobile branded Streak 7 from Craigslist a week ago before Dell announced that only the WiFi and unlocked Streaks would get 3.2! I was soo MAD!! So i posted my Dell on craigslist for dirt cheap on October 7th at 5:00 p.m. When I got home all on the sudden at 9:00 p.m. California time I got a notification that an update was available!! I proceeded to jump up and down and hit the download the update!! I went through all the steps and I have an official 3.2. streak T-mobile version!! I bought it from someone who stated it was new and I only used it on WiFi, So I thought I would be skipped on the update. Guess only the t-mobile version's that were activated on t-mobile are affected?
Battery life is still the same and most of my apps work, except NetFlix!!
Anyone else rocking the official update on there t-mobile?

What rom version do you have? It was likely updated with a wifi/retail rom and not a tmo one as they dont exist

Ok im lost u have a branded tmobile device and you got a official hc up date from dell? How the hell.

does it actually have the Tmo logo on back of device?
even then could be faked... just syaing.. I hope its legit..
if so please PM TheManii.. he will be interested.
This might be great news!

Hi,
Ya I it came in the official T-Mobile box and paper work, and the T-mobile data only sim!! I took my sim outta my Dell Streak 5, which is also on T-mobile and it worked! But when i tried to browse the net I keep being re-directed to the T-mobile site!! It does show the 4g logo and edge too when I'm out of range. (My Dell Streak 5 I bought from Craiglister who bought it in Australia so I have been using a T-Mobile sim for years!

I'm guessing cause I was to lazy to get a t-mobile broadband plan. I was using only with WiFi.. So it was never registered with t-mobile. That's my best guess. I will post a photo of the info tonight.

It is 3.2 along with the Dell Stage widgets. Listen guys I have no reason to be pulling anything over on anybody.. I was so Mad when I read on Dell that all but t-mobile streaks would be updated. I promise I'll post more info tonight.. I was No [email protected]#! way when I saw the update notification!
Ya it is the WiFi Retail honeycomb version! Every T-mobile app was missing, like Blockbuster, t-mo tv, but I can download them from the market.

???????????????

this is likely that unbranded update posted on streaksmart. Like you said If the device has never been registered on tmobile... but how would they actually keep track of this for the update... hmmm I dont know. But congratulations buddy, make sure to pm The Manii in case this is something new.

Photos added.
Hey everybody! Well I add some photos, but let me know if I should add more!

That's the unbranded US 4G one, you cant officially flash it from the previous tmo roms

By unbranded, do you mean the one that hasn't the "T-mobile" decal in the back?
because i have one that doesn't have the decal in the back, but it IS branded "t-mobile" (i have the T-mobile SIM and everything).
is the same?

I mean the rom, the Tmo s7 is the only physically branded device dell sells.
I'm talking about the rom as it's region 30 which is "dell" or "US" region
Tmo roms are 33 which is "tmobile" region roms

Isn't the point that it got sent to his tablet in the first place?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App

Thanks Smurphjw! My point was only that I got the update and nothing else! So maby T-Mo users might get the update too, with out having to root. I understand that the rom is unbranded, but Dell was clear that only WiFi Streaks would gt the update.

I seriously doubt it was on an unmodified device as the update script in the pkgs only checks two things before installing:
1) If the device is a streak7
2) what region it is (out of either "tmo (33)" "Boss (00)" - which is what the EU regions use" and "US (30)")
The flashable zips I released only did two things: remove those two checks and remove the modem updates

I have a quick question. Since all you did was remove the checks and modems, why can't one just change the zip file to update.pkg and use the stock recover to flash to HC? Why does one have to install CWM and then install the zip?
Or just change the region to (33), and then we can use the package without CWM? (I know, it is probably too simple, or it would have been done this way already).

The stock recovery decrypts pkgs, that's what makes pkgs different.
If you simply renamed the zip to pkg it would try and decrypt that and would end up with garbage. The stock rec has no options, it will only "decrypt the pkg" -> "attempt to flash decrypted pkg". Only way to flash something with the stock one is to first encrypt it correctly so it will decrypt it on it's own
Changing the region requires modifying the recovery image, which has already been done with links on the update guide

OK, thanks for the explanation. I'm still on Froyo, but I may update at some point. It seems pretty clear, and easy except for having to get CWM on the S7.

If you look at the photos I posted under the firmware it shows I have the US 30. I never posted trying to tick anyone else off. I never modified my Streak, but I give up, because apparently I'm lying according to ThManni. I only wanted to post my good news, and give some hope to others. When I bought my Streak it came in a sealed box with all the plactic on screen and back of unit. Sorry to all who dought me when I say I never modified my streak at all.

[Q] Non textbook problem finding ROM file for GT-P1000

Hi,
I've already been through the thread
[30.03.2012][CF-Root 4.4] J-P/S/Q-*,JV-1KBHIOPQRSTAUV,JVU,JW4 - su+bb+2e/CWM-rfs+ext4
which has links to all the ROM files to be used with CWM in recovery mode (and explanations about their names).
I don't have a standard production phone. Mine has a build name of: FROYO.eng.eunju81.hong.201000831.205407 therefore I can't go by the names of the ROM files which are based on build names like FROYO.xxJP (P obviously referring to "Production"). Does the date of that build have any significance to you experts (Aug 31, 2010)? Does this narrow down what ROM file I can download?
Also, my phone is a pretty standard 512MB, ARM processor phone for that era (I'm guessing, since it was given to a journalist for review who gave it to me when she was done reviewing it).Will I have to use ODIN to flash it? I WAS able to root it (the Chinese made Eroot succeeded where all else failed) and install ROM Manager AND CWM but I then downloaded all three ROM types for my phone (the phone part isn't active I only use the WIFI so I tried the Galaxy Tab ATT, T-Mobile and Verizon but they all gave errors when I tried installing them). I read that it's imperative to have the right file, but with my funky build number, that doesn't seem possible. Am I going to be able to do with this without "doorstopping" my phone? (sorry. I like "doorstop" better than "brick" .

Wrong forum, this is S2/I9100 Q&A, not Tab Q&A which is here (we have device specific fora).
I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.

One other thing;
I forgot to mention: Kies updated the firmware to the latest version if that helps you "axe spurts" figure this puzzle out. Thanks in advance!!! :fingers-crossed:

WP 8.1 not supporting AWS?

Hi,
I have a L920, originally Rogers (CA) ROM. I flashed it into Euro Dev a long time ago, and it worked just fine until yesterday on my AWS provider (Mobilicity).
As with previous OTA updates, carriers started to deploy theirs, and I didn't get a notification for mine until yesterday. Did the OTA and as soon as phone started with 8.1, I was showing 'No service'. If I did a manual search, neither Mobilicity nor Wind would show, only CDN Roaming (Rogers), and Bell.
After a few hours with the (un)support of both MS and Nokia, I gave up and decided to flash back. I flashed it back to Rogers WP 8.1, and same thing. I reflashed it to the previous OS I had (Euro Developer, 8.0 GDR 3) and same thing.
My guess is that the AWS frequency is now somehow lost, since the previous Euro version had it and now it doesn't.
Anyone has heard anything about this? And, more importantly, anyone has any idea how to get my AWS back?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just checking so that smarter folks can help you: Did you by any chance do a factory reset at any point post-update?
Also, please post your OS and FW numbes, just in case.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I've done several hard resets, and nothing changed. I have flashed it with several FWs, even the ones I previously had, but no luck. Rogers Portico is as far as I could go, because I can't find Pre-Portico. Here's the FW history:
- Rogers Pre-Portico (factory installed)
- Euro Dev GDR1 (flashed)
- Euro Dev GDR2 (OTA)
- Euro Dev GDR3 (OTA)
- Euro Dev WP8.1 (OTA) - this is when the frequency got messed up
I then flashed these, which I had kept the FWs just in case, but no luck in getting the frequency back:
- Euro Dev GDR3
- Euro Dev GDR2
- Rogers GDR3
- Rogers Portico
Right now it's with 1232.5957.1308.0000.
Hope it's clearer now. And if someone knows where to get Rogers Pre-Portico (or Apollo), I'd appreciate it. That's the only hope I have left at the moment,because both Nokia and WP support proved to be incompetent and unwilling to help in this case.
Thanks again.

Hmm...smarter folks have no yet weighed in, I'm afraid! Most likely they are thinking about your problem and/or working on other stuff.
So, my thought is that somewhere along the line, you debranded your phone - disconnecting the provisioning somehow - by doing factory resets (which is, after all, a normal course of action from troubleshooting techs at MS/Nkoia/wherever).
I (and others) had a similar thing happen with my ATIV Neo S - although I never lost the ability to make calls. After manually programming the cell data provisioning, I'm still unable to send/receive MMS. The newest version of 8.1 I have at least now allows me to make and retain some changes (##3282#), but not others (such as MMSC URL).
Have you compared your current provision settings with those from your carrier (or those originally with the phone)? Can you do a PRL update? If not, what error does it throw?

The most importing thing to note as you are flashing is if the firmware of the radio is changing. This is shown in the "Settings -> About" page. Make sure that after you are done flashing the different FFUs, that the "Radio Software Version" is changing. My guess is that since you changed ROMs, an OTA update was delivered to the radio as part of the Windows Phone update. It accidentally ran on your phone because the CID that the phone reported from the radio firmware matches a Rogers update. Now that this has been updated, the radio version isn't downgrading. (That is just my guess). Make sure that the radio firmware is changing as you apply FFUs and post back.

E5 Play noobie Questions

Several questions and lack of understanding. Computers I know. Phones I don't.
I read through a couple threads and would point out an exception to statements. I do have an E5 Play (1921-2) I purchased it new unlocked on amazon (some state all plays are go type phones with 1G ram). Mine is 16G rom, 2G ram, version PVTA, software channel retus, android 8.0.0 security patch May 1, 2020..baseband version M8920_35.27.11.78R..James_NA_ATT_CUST Build OPPS27.91-121-28, kernal 3.18.71-perf-b(bunch#s) [email protected]#1 4/28/(time)/2020
1) I'm guessing this is james software...so am I correct in thinking software is updated according to SIM card?????
2) Mine has an option in developer mode labeled OEM unlocking - Allow the bootloader to be unlocked.... So if I enable this is it still necessary to root the phone to enable removal of some software (youtube for example)??? It isn't filled with the normal bloatware but there is some I would like to remove completely.
3) Can I install a custom rom?? I'm asking because it says phone encrypted under the security & location tab in settings. I've seen different responses to this in various threads.
4) So if I'm correct in my question about sim installing software (or permissions) do I need to remove the sim to make rom changes or root the phone??
5) This version (1921-2) is on the list of phones acceptable to ATT when they eliminate 3G in Feb 2020... If I root or install a custom rom will it change how ATT "views" the phone, making it unusable?? The reason I'm asking is because I have another motorola model that is 4GLTE and VoLTE but they wont even give me a sim for it...because it's not on their list.
