[Q] I9000XXJP0 phone needs I9000XXJP0 firmware?

I have a UK T-Mobile unlocked unbranded Galaxy S (Froyo) which reports the following details:
PDA: I90000XXJPO
PHONE/MODEM: I90000XXJPP
CSC: I90000OXAJPO (KOR)
Does this mean that I need to find/use a "I9000XXJP0 version" gingerbread ROM file in order to flash gingerbread? Or could I flash some other Europe version e.g. I9000XWJVB gingerbread ROM?
I was surprised that this question is not covered in the various gingerbread flashing threads that I have read. No doubt I have missed something that will be staring me in the face once someone points it out..
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.

If you don't want to wait for the official update for your phone you can absolutely flash any of the gingerbread roms on this website. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully.
Btw, the gingerbread rom for your phone won't be JP0, that is a froyo rom. They change with every update.

You can flash any firmware buddy no problems, it doesn't have to be country specific. However flashing a country specific modem will most likely have an effect on signal, call.quality etc. Check out doc's thread as I think there is a good guide there.

Thanks guys. Erm so, if you were me, what do you think my best bet is? I'm thinking of flashing what I have found as being the latest offical build of 2.3.3 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Modem on that is XX same as my current firmware. Do I need to care about the CSC or anything else? (FYI I've updated my original post above to give the full CSC)

Cook up a rom in doc's kitchen. You can have a very good stock rom or a really good custom one.

Wow, romkitchen.org looks very interesting. However, it says "Install from a 2.3 ROM" so I guess I would need to upgrade to 2.3 before being able to use it, which is a bit strange as upgrading to 2.3 is all I'm trying to do anyway. And it says it beta, so I think I'm better of using the ROM in my post above?

Yes, you have to flash a stock 2.3 rom first to get the bootloader update. They are all beta version of gingerbread. Even the ones that got pushed out recently aren't as stable as the 2.2.1 roms.
When I go to 2.3 it will be from the kitchen for sure.

OK. Well, this story has a happy ending. I've upgraded to 2.3.3 (XEE version) using a guide that someone in the romkitchen irc channel linked me to.

As it says in the guide, all I needed to do afterwards was reselect my provider via the APN settings (easy peasy, just selected "T Mobile" from a short list of UK providers).

Cheers for this post to all who replied - just got a Galaxy S too and wasn't sure if there were any caveats about flashing to a ROM with a different ID than your current one aside from normal GSM radio band for picking america vs rest of world etc.

Firmware - newbie help

Hi all,
I am wondering if someone can guide me to the correct direction.
This is my phone (samsung Galaxy I9000)
Model GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.1-Update 1
Base Version: I9000 DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected]#2
Build Number: ECLAIR. DTJG4
It is unlocked - orginally from Optus.
this phone feels very slow and not very responsive at the moment.
I am thinking of upgrading the firmware hoping that it will improve the persformance
Can someone please tell me which firmware will be best for me? I'm not going to root the phone and I am just after most effecient firmware (good wifi, GPS and signal)
I am not sure which one is most stable for my phone.
Thank you

you could flash a stock gingerbread rom.the ones with bootloaders.jvh is pretty stable.2.3.4 ones will have phone fc bug..you'll hv to root ur phone to get rid of that bug..stock roms u can dwnld from ramads thread..for gps/wifi/signal u will have to flash the appropriate modem.there was a thread comparing modems somewhere here on the forum.try searching it.if u really want near zero lags it would be best to do ext4 lagfix..but again rooting will be reqd.gb roms are fast without these but lagfix still brings noticeable change.

Thank you for the reply.
It seems that I am gonna need to do root on it.
If that is the case, It will be much appreciated if I can be pointed to the correct link (tutorial - step by step) to get this process.
After reading some of the psosts I get really confused with all the type of firmware and kernel etc...
any suggestions and links I can follow will be much a great help much appreciated
Thank you again

The below links helped me out.

Read the tutorials carefully, then read them again and again until you are sure and confident. do not use if you dont feel confident.

Make sure you have the 3 button combo (recovery and download).

You should be able to update to gingerbread via Kies JVN 2.3.3 -optus

Hello, you can try JPY on 2.2.1, it's a stable firmware without the bugs of the gingerbread, if you doesn't want to root your phone.

Thanks for all the replies guys,
I just upgraded to GingerBread 2.3.3 XWjVN.
My next question is:
If I want to get rid of all those Optus rubish - Can you please tell me which firmware do I need to install?
There are so many types and I really get confused which one is going to work for me.
I have seen my friend's SI9000 very fast and snapy - is the firmware upgrade the way to do it?
Thanks again guys

Can i get DDJPA Indian GB stock kernel?

Dear friends
I have Rooted my Indian GSM Tab [P-1000] having DDJPA Gingerbread with CF-Root and now i want DDJPA Indian GB stock kernel.[Why? Because i have read in some threads that this rooting kernel is an unstable one and i have to reflash stock kernel after rooting so that the system will be still rooted but be stable as it is original.]
So can any of you upload that DDJPA Indian GB stock kernel and give me download link?
Thanx in advance.

I don't think there is any difference in indian or italian gb versions. And you can look into development tab for kernels.

First use the search to find DDJPA firmware
you can get it here ---> http://www.multiupload.com/E3Y46J67TD

Help me Devs!!! Hex idea got me bricked
Please Devs help me.
I flashed the kernel uploaded by hex in the above post and my tab is bricked.
Now i am getting a phone and computer picture with a triangle between them.
My details:
DDJPA indian Gingerbread rooted with chainfire kernel.now bricked when i tried to flash with DDJPA kernel.
Thanx.

i havent had problems from it
can you elaborate on what you did and r now observing so that we can fix it
btw did you use odin or heimdall????

No offence intended
Hi Hex
I am not blaming you.
Update1: Uesd this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590advice and got my Tab alive[My god!!Now i know what is the meaning of Anxiety].
Update 2: If u have rooted ur device with Chainfire kernel do not flash with any other kernel[Devs please! Prove me wrong]
Update3: The above kernel uploaded by Hex might not be extracted in the proper manner.Kernel extraction is a really complicated process and you can not use the zImage you get from the firmware TAR as such.[Please Hex, no offence intended]Please delete it before anybody else bricks his device.
Thanx Kosh! Ur posts r really helpful to our community.

Is the kernal the base software sort of thing? I have a sprint (usa) galaxy tab and I want mine to be like the UK tabs would I just need the EURO kernal?
Would this have the UK language pack?
Thanks

[q] need rom

I have a galaxy s which is a carrier of orange but was unlocked. So, could anyone tell which rom would run on it. i installed few roms but they didnt work.

Is the model number i9000? If so any rom in this section will work
May I ask, what rom's did you install and how didn't they work?
Also I'm assuming your new to installing roms, so have a read of this thread.

I am currently using the Vanilla ICS Graduation Edition v 1.2, overall the ROM is solid, and the guy who made it is constantly updating it. If your interested I can send you the download, or you can just visit his thread.
heres the link
