Hello,
I've a Galaxy-S (was from T-Mobile Uk, but I unlocked it, debranded it and so on), it used to be 2.1, so back in november I updated to 2.2 using the Kies trick (changing the area code and so on). Now I'm finding myself *not-so-happy* about many bugs that are around (sometimes apps just crash... etc..). I'd like to go to 2.2.1 if this would help. But Kies doesn't even show an available update, so I was thinking of flashing one with Odin. Which one do you recommend?
My firmware is XXJPP. I don't remeber how to get other info/codes, so tell me how if you need them.
Also, I'm ready to wipe everything, but I'd avoid it. So tell me how.
Thanks.
JPY or WJS8 in UK with CPW csc .

I suggest you the JS8 ROM. Is the last froyo 2.2.1 european firmware. You can use the JS8 rome in the romkitchen to customize your fw as you want
Odin for flashing Kies for orugnal upgrade
Is JS8 an official upgrade from JPY(2.2.1)? For the UK aswell????
Or is it just a general European(including UK) update?
I'm on JPY right now. Upgraded officially from JPO(2.2) in the UK.
Do you think it is better to flash JS8 firmware?
(I have tried 2.3.3 JVK but I would rather wait for the official gingerbread update)
JPY is still the most current firmware for UK. I'm in Australia and have been using it since release. Docs version of course.
JS8 is Nordic I think.

For stock go to samfirware.com, sign up, download Odin and jpy 2.2.1 (for UK). Install with Odin without repartition ticked and you should still have your apps/data.
Site has all the files and instructions you need. Just make sure you have download mode.
2.2.1 is miles better than 2.2. You'll wonder why you waited so long.

The networks do not upgrade all the incremental updates JPY last one in general use and none have bothered to push out the later upgrades preferring to wait for the official release of 2.3 .
Either JPY or WJS8 will work well on UK phones .

I tried both the kitchen and the: stock Rome. Even if the kitchen seems so clever and you don't need Odin in order to upgrade, I ended up with a 2.2.1 Tom that didn't have the market app, and other basic ones. Plus the media scanner was crashing every 10 seconds. Another one started up in Chinese and kept crashing various system apps. That's to say that it is not the best choice for stability. Instead I went to samfirmware got 2.3.2 and it is stable, clean and fast. Using Odin is easy in the end so I recommend this if you want a fully functional phone. And gingerbread is so faaaast
That's to say that it is not the best choice for stability.
You are doing something wrong then as its the safest and most problem free method .

I have 3uk sgs and immediately went for odin for all my flash updates.
First thing is to check u have three button combo working. Just pull the battery to get out of that mode.
I'd go straight to gingerbread JPK. And with the few, clockworkmod zips you can add battery percentage and a few other nice things that aren't included.
I haven't looked back as jpk is such a great rom - memory management is sorted so no need for autokillet or taskmanagers.

Hi all,
I've got an unbranded Galaxy S i9000 handset which has the stock Froyo VNZ (Vodafone New Zealand) firmware on it, would using the Kies registry spoof to XEU work fine for this to get Gingerbread?
Also, if I run a factory restore on it after upgrading the firmware will it revert back to Froyo or stay on Gingerbread?
Cheers
Not sure if the registry hack will work.
I use odin to flash gingerbread, have a read of the guide:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxjvo-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-your-galaxy-s/
After you have installed gingerbread, doing a factory reset will not revert back to froyo.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Ah OK, so does that mean any of the Gingerbread firmwares will work? (e.g. other region's firmwares from Kies in addition to the ones like you linked to) I've read about people spoofing their region code and using the Kies supplied firmwares but am not really sure if any faked region will work on my phone's region.
What's the best way to go back to the stock firmware if something goes wrong?
Thanks for your help!
A good guide to read, to get a idea on how to install/flash using Odin. Its really important that you can get into Download Mode and recovery mode, download mode is needed to use Odin.

A guide to revert back to Froyo.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/
You could wait for Gingerbread to be released by VFNZ via Kies, no idea when that might be.
If you have a Galaxy S i9000 you can flash the JVK, JVB or JVO firmwares. The differences are mainly the included apps (daily info yes/no, some country-specific app, and swype languages), and the carrier configurations on the CSC.
You can always create the APN manually if you know the values for your carrier. I'm using JVO with XEU code right now, APN created manually.
Thanks for the replies guys, ended up downloading the JVO (XEU) firmware using Fus Downloader and flashed using Odin, works perfectly!
Be aware that JVO suffers from serious battery drain issue though..
I'm very confused by all the conflicting reports about ICS and the eMMC bug. I have OTA available but have been putting off upgrading to ICS for a) fear of the bug and b) utter confusion as to what the best way to upgrade is.
I have stock GB. I do not intend to root or mod my phone just yet.
Would really appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable would help me out. I have a bunch of questions:
1. I read that deleting large files could trigger the bug, but can't find any actual reports of that happening. I also know that Samsung was unable to reproduce this bug with stock phones. Is stock ICS safe if I don't root, mod or wipe my phone?
2. Is there a difference between installing ICS OTA or via Kies? Someone was saying that OTA merely patches your current firmware, Kies flashes the full ROM over. Which is better/less buggy? Is there effectively no difference?
3. Would you recommend I wipe my phone in GB before updating? Is that necessary for a bug free install, or is that a myth?
I would also like answers to this.
1. ICS is perfectly safe to use if you dont do any wipes, factory reset etc.
2. No idea tbh.
3. Yes its recommended to do a factory reset while still in GB. To get a clean system before upgrading to ICS.
i usually update with pc odin and download the rom with checkfus, ics is safe just dont do any wipes as i do not believe that the emmc bug has been repaired so better to be safe than sorry
i have never done an ota so cant answer that one
i have flashed a few roms on my gtn7000 without doing any wipes i have done a factory reset while on ics
I'd do a full wipe either before or after the upgrade, i had a few small issues street upgrading to the German rom that this fixed.
I wouldn't worry massively about bricking your phone. If you haven't rooted or installed a custom ROM, worst case scenario is that you get a new phone. Factory resets are a normal function of the phone, and the only people who really need to worry are people who have modified their phone by rooting/custom rom.
Anyone else who ends up with a dead phone would have every right to demand a replacement. Just be sure to keep anything important on an external sd card, or backed up regularly to a pc.

I was thinking of upgrading to ICS via KIES.
From what I gather...
1. Though I didn't find a definitive YES, STOCK ICS via KIES has eMMC bug, what I found is everypost is saying DON'T WIPE / FACTORY RESET even if it is STOCK ICS via KIES.
2. I assume no difference?
3. Above post says recommended to do a wipe before updating.
My question is:
How do I go back to GB rom once I update STOCK ICS (in case I don't like it.) Would it be through PC ODIN>Flash STOCK GB ROM?
Or would it be Root current ICS ROM, flash Abyss Kernel, revert back to GB ROM, in that case, how do I root the updated ICS ROM?

1. Stock ICS is perfectly safe.. eMMC is a bug on the Exynos chip and it is usually triggered when you do a full wipe on your phone. Kies flashes but it does not do a full wipe on your phone. Stock ICS is better than GB. Overall, it's pretty much smoother than what I've experienced with GB before.
2. ICS OTA and via KIES? no difference at all. Only difference is that, with OTA, depending on your HSDPA/3G/LTE network connection and the amount of battery power on your phone. With Kies? it's much better updating thru it as you have the comfortable and suitable time as the firmware will be downloaded (in your computer) w/o the hassles of looking if your phone's battery would conked out (with OTA update that is)
3. I would recommend you start in stock all GB first before doing the necessary upgrade.
Cheers,
I am in Canada with an international phone with the newest stock GB - never put anything else but OTA stock updates on the phone. I got a OTA for ICS, while watching tv I used my in house wireless to update, was simply and relatively fast. Have been using the update for 2 days no issues: songs and apps were all there as was all other data, just had to re-setup icons, wallpaper. No issues with Skype, battery, wifi so far. Haven't found one broken or erroring app - ICS is clean and efficient - biggest issue so far is the extra confirmation buttons on going in and out of 3G using touch wiz press and hold power button.

I've just update my cell using OTA, I have a Galaxy Note N7000 and I upgrade to 4.0.4 ICS Android, I've seen videos in Youtube and I've found at least two differences:
-The gallery is suposed to be new with fancy 3D effects, mine is the just the same that I had before
-You're suposed to get a video playing in front while using multitask (mesages, phone,...), my video plays just like the old version :crying:
Now I don't know what to do, I want the complete new ROM, ¿Can I install it with Odin? ¿Can I install with Odin the version 4.0.4 on a phone tha already has 4.0.4? ¿Should I downgrade my ROM and upgrade later? ¿How do I do that? ¿Can I reinstall 4.0.4 with Kies?
no u cant reinstall a firmware with kies until there is a new upgrade available
u can download the latest firmware from www.sammobile.com and install it with Odin..
its perfectly fine to install a 4.0.4 over 4.0.4.. there is no need to downgrade... just make sure till u r on the stock kernel.. donot perform any wipes
DBT in CSC
It wasn't a problem with OTA update, my phone had CSC from France (XEF), so, the update wasn't the last one.
I download the Germany firmware (DBT) and now I have fancy 3D gallery and video with multitask, but I try to change my CSC (with *#272*imei#*) to DBT for getting new updates from Kies but I don't have the option DBT, only TGY from Hong Kong.
Is there a way to get DBT in my CSC?
I try reinstalling the firmware but it didn´t work, is there a file for Odin that install DBT in CSC?
may be u can try installing the ROM again by select it in the CSC tab of odin
DBT in CSC
The problem wasn't the OTA update, I found that my phone is from France (XEF) and the update isn't the last one, I installed the Germany firmware (DBT) and the gallery and video with multitask was working.
Now I have another problem, I tryed to change my CSC to DBT (with *#272*imei#*) but I only have the choice XEF. Now I want to change it to DBT in order to get updates from Kies but I don't know how.
Can I change my CSC to DBT with ODIN? Is there a md5 file to do this? How can I change it?
Ya thats wat i am saying.. Use the same firmware file rhat u flashd. This time select it in the csc tab of odin and flash it. Then go to *272*imei# and chekc if u have dbt there
Did it but still not working

Don't do it!!!!!! It does not work very well with Flash, makes it jerky. I am trying to downgrade back to Gingerbread. Flash worked well before upgrade to ICS. I wish I hadn't 'upgraded'.

don't do what?
i installed the german update with no problems it is not jerky.
iam in the uk and on vodafone
I updated my UK stock 4.0.3. to German 4.0.4 XXLRG and can confirm the wakelog problem has gone away.
I tried the German version 4.0.4 and found that a lot of apps that I'd installed on 4.0.3 stopped working ??
So I have gone back to the UK XEU 4.0.3 from Sammobile and await the UK version update to 4.0.4
What is the 'wakelog' problem with 4.0.3 ICS ?
The only problem I have experienced with 4.0.3 is the SIM card has difficulty registering on the network, I keep having to go to scan for networks to register and resetting / taking the battery out etc - pain in the back side!!
I'm wondering if I have any apps installed that can block outgoing phone calls without me knowing about it?
Like a firewall or something?
On the '3' network by the way !! :cyclops:
Try safe kernel, reboot recovery and clean, usually helps. It might need more cleaning on safe kernel. I prefer full clean install to prevent these issues.
Try dalvik and cache first, on safe kernel like speedmod. K3-11 is reported pretty wel from hardcore.
Sometimes fixing permissions alone helps from recovery on a kernel like speedmod.

I've changed 'csc' file on the phone to XEU still on 4.0.3 - N7000XXLQ2_N7000XXLPT_N7000XEULP4
So started fresh again anyway - CWM recovery mode and wiped all user data settings and initially:
NOW UNROOTED
Checked that wifi picked up signal and worked ok
Checked that data connection picked up signal and worked ok
Checked phone was registered on network and seemed to be ok
NOW ROOTED
Now I'm going to install just the app DATA from the CWM backup image I took before I changed the CSC from Eur (this came from the Multi csc from the German 4.0.4 rom) to Xeu (this came from the UK/IRE 4.0.3 rom) - Sammobile website
If any of the prior checks I made listed above don't work, then the problem has to lie with the app data, as I haven't used the image cache, kernel etc - ONLY the app data.
Now on a slightly other note if I took the German ICS 4.0.4 N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_DBT - rom image and removed the MULTI csc cache file and replaced with the XEU from the 4.0.3 image - would that work?
Trick the phone into thinking it has a UK 4.0.4 rom installed?
Thanks for the replies :good::good:
NOW ROOTED - using CF-Root - SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2 - v5.6
APPS ADDED FROM PREVIOUS CWM 4.0.3 BACKUP IMAGE
YellowTriangle Away V 1.70 used to clear counts etc
Checked that wifi picked up signal and doesn't connect
Checked that data connection picked up signal and works ok occasionally
Checked phone was registered on network and seems hit and miss - registered one minute then not the next - unable to make calls - have to keep searching for networks manually - turning phone on / off / battery in / out !
Installed the 'Speedmod K3 - 11' as suggested earlier.
However now when I open CWM manager app, I get the message "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel.Various features have been disabled"
Something not right somewhere...

I have just recieved my update via kies on galaxy note 4.0.4 and yes I am in the UK and phone is contracted to O2 although its unlocked to all sims.
Sorry - cant see how to delete my post.
I recently went from custom ICS roms to stock gingerbread. I am having troubles trying to get the phone to update through wi-fi and Kies. When I try to update on the phone through wifi it says there is "no software update available". When connecting the Note with Kies it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". Anyone else had this problem?
The ROM I flashed via ODIN is:
N7000XXKK9 ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000OXAKK9 -----------------Germany (Debitel) -------------------
I know I can just update via ODIN but I would like OTA updating to work.
Download OPEN Germany from three followinf link and you will have no issue with OTA
just flash 4.0.4 direct...since you are already on GB
do you need root? If so then instead flash the pre rooted GB rom on the same page... and yoi can use mobile odin then to wipe flash the 4.0.4 with everroot and supersu... That is what i would do...
Be sure to use a safe kernel if you plan on doing any wipes on ics

Well I read your preconditions and am not sure if I have everything correct. All I've done is flash the 4.0.4 stock ROM with Odin and still get the problem with Kies. Is there more I need to do?
why dont you keep updating via odin, Its faster then Kies.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
I'm currently trying to sell the phone and the buyer may not want to do it that way. Rather than through Kies, I'm hoping to just get updating through the phone to be working. But I could just tell them to update through Odin if no solution is found.
Anyone have a solution to this problem?
Go by them one by one and eliminate them. If you cant figure one out, then ask
preconditions for update ota/kies
No root(for ota it doesnt matter)
All codes intact (imei, pcode)
All components installed of same rom and version of rom that was distributed through Kies or ota.
Rom csc must match the installed rom. Most updates aren't available because for phone csc there is no update. This is the csc obtainable throught dialing *#06# for imei then dial *#272*yourimeihere#. Note changing csc triggers factory reset, so do from save kernel should you like to change.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
have you reset your counter binary ?
Okay, now I feel dumb. Guess every problem/fix isn't always so technical. Believe problem was the wrong country/region was selected on the Samsung agreement and hadn't changed until I did a factory reset.
Okay, so I guess that wasn't the problem. A Singapore ROM had just happened to work while the others did not.
Edit2: Dudes remember do resets wipes only on safe kernels... Best done from gb.
Edit: made a way that could work for yah. Checking preconditions with some of the how to is a must. It saves following procedure. Anyway if you get stuck, follow this advice.
A way to get updatability functional throught Kies/OTA.
Restore efs backup of condition when first bought phone.
If none made, root phone and make one now safe multiple locations. (of the phone)
Then, if you know csc phone came with, download a rom for that csc, earliest gb possible, one that was distributed throught Kies or Ota. See www.sammobile.com for that. it shows a kies logo next to the rom in the firmware section. That is the one we are looking for. Should have in the zipfile a single tar file.
Now get a standard pit file and flash throught pc odin the rom with the pitfile. See dr ketans thread in sticky section development for that on how to do it. Do this all without external sd card or simcard in phone, never select clear efs in pc odin.
If phone doesnt reboot head into recovery and factory reset and clear cache. Reboot. After phone reboot dial *2767*3855# for ultimate factory reset. Do not change anything to the rom, no cf or modded kernel or different modem. You will lose all data.
Now after this completes,
Check imei, check csc as described earlier. All intact and inline with rom? Good, if not, select the csc of the rom press instal and let phone reboot.
Now check pcode:dial *2767*4387264636# this should be same as rom, and filled in. Pcode correct? Good.
Now you dont have root, codes correct, and an updatable rom.
Hook up to Kies and or ota update it!
You might need to check with different versions of roms(preferably gb to be safe). I found some weren't directly updatable, dont know why.
Notes
If imei is gone, reflash efs backup,
If nulls on entry with keyboard select the tar file in pcodin in cache and flash)
If pcode different, you can change, but search on how to edit it on computer with hex editor. Pm me if this is the case. I hope not. In the end its easier to start over with a rom matching that pcode that is there and selecting the coresponding csc
ps I have done this multiple times, all based on experience and countless hours figuring out how to fix it so I have way back should I want to sell phone in working condition.
All at own risk, I am trying to help, but can't guarantee anything, what worked for me may not work for others

I have been able to update from kies 3 times now, but last release just doesn't work.
My original CSC was ZTA, then I changed it to DBT when it was on 2.3.5 (GB).
Kies let me update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 to 4.0.3, then to 4.0.4 (I am currently on XXLRK, CSC DBT).
Now, kies says:
Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
Current firmware version: N7000XXLRK/N7000DBTLRK/N7000XXLRK/N7000XXLRK (ZTA)
How does it know my device was originally ZTA?
Why have I been able to upgrade via Kies so far and last update Kies says I can't upgrade?
Thanks in advance.
Kies has an update of itself as well from time to time and it retains and detects your very original copy of your ROM in its system (before you change your csc to DBT- Germany?)
Comparing it with the initial(checksum) and with your latest ROM upgrade, KIES sees some anomaly on your latest ROM (since its not on the right tree path), therefore its telling you now, your latest ROM is not supported anymore.
You were able to fool the software before.. but it's not going to be fooled second time already. Either you can revert back to your original CSC and upgrade it again thru kies (on the right tree path) or the second option would be to use PC /mobile Odin from now on to upgrade (to the firmware/ROM of your choice).
Or you can clean install kies, take out all registry keys files etc. But thats to much hastle

Go by them one by one and eliminate them. If you cant figure one out, then ask
Rom csc must match the installed rom. Most updates aren't available because for phone csc there is no update. This is the csc obtainable throught dialing *#06# for imei then dial *#272*yourimeihere#. Note changing csc triggers factory reset, so do from save kernel should you like to change.

Hello All, Just would like to share ... I just bought a 2nd hand note, later I found my note is german rom ie; N7000XXLPY/N7000XXLPT/N7000OXALPY is 4.0.3, because when I try to update through kies ..it saying not support....
So I try to change CSC ..there are many and I dont know which one work ..got EXU..., after change one CSC ..then plug in PC run kies .. finally until I changed DBT ..it show got update .. So the above statement is right ...
once I update it to 4.0.4 and would like to change back to KOR (I think mean for asia), all the CSC code gone ... now there are fews icon which is not supported but everything is fine.
I hink if you have open rom ..better dont update through kies .. it will wipe out all CSC .. Now I have to find my country stock rom with CSC to flash in.....

yep that sucks good luck!
Kor is default csc for I think Asians rom, or Korean. If csc of phone is not present it defaults to a default csc in rom. Its funny.
Messed up many times. Be safe
You can select your choice csc rom tar file in cache in pc odin, flash and then its selectable, be on safe kernel or gb rom just in case
