Model Number : GT-I9001
Firmware version : 2.3.3

@ sakindia123 I wasn't, I was just wondering why the firmware numbers were exactly the same as SGS2.

thats samsung's new update policy for u

The ROMs between SGS2 and SGS+ are totally different. The numbers can be the same, but it doesn't matter. You can check other Samsung's stock ROMs just to notice they are all quite similar.
Do not in any case try to flash ROM from different phone.

Thanks. Is there a 2.3.5 firmware available for mine?

Some potential bug fixes, like camera or so on. Battery life and performance seems a bit better. There's also 2.3.6 (ZSKP6) But includes only few asian languages and English UK and US

I know it is a bit of a cheek but do you have a link for the 2.3.6 firmware?

never mind, just found it on your guide.

Need some help here u guys....
I dont want to open up a new thread for this so i guess it'll fit right in here...
I downloaded ROM Toolbox recently which btw ****ED UP my phone, sonetimes the phone gets stuck now and many apps (also some I've already installed before) cant be downloaded via marked cuz now they are marked as not compatible with my device...
so before i play arround like crazy theres one question :
Is there a ROM out there which is like an enhanced version of the stock rom ? Many roms dont look very good (talking about the appearance), and an enchanced version of the stock rom without all the sync bs of google and stuff would be very cool....
this rom toolbox is such a crappy tool for sgs+....
i really need some help here this phone is starting to piss me off and i only rooted it and never flashed a new rom to the sgs+ (to no other phone neither)..
Can u guys give me some advices here plz ?

Oops Sorry mate

Are these all the stock roms available ? im looking for my original Stock rom which was i9001XXK13 which is 2.3.3 Gingerbread, i just need this to fall back on if any problems arise and i need to claim warranty.
Thanks
EDIT:Oops sorry wrong thread

Yesterday I rooted and flashed the "Install Android 4.0.1 ICS Custom ROM on Samsung Galaxy S2" to my
GT I001SGS plus and I am success full.
The only difference in adoption was I copied the 4.0.1 ICS Custom ROM to my external sd card and used the recovery mode
now my S plus is
Model GT-I9001
Firmwire version : 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9001XXKPF
Kernal version: 2.6.35.7-perf

And you managed to post your first thread in the most inapproriate section you could possibly find ... this section is about ACCESSORIES while your (badly formatted and colored) post should be in the Q&A section.

OK, good to know its your 1st post, BUT
you managed to post it with the worst font i have ever seen, and its seems you r eye's failed to spot HERE. Upgrading isn't an accessory. This isa question for here
hope you now understand what you did wrong in posting this (in this section)
and good luck

There are a lot of tutorial here, just take a look in Android Development and enjoy yourself.

I wish you had used a better font color.
Anyways , take a look at this for all noob questions about rooting/custom ROMS etc etc

Rom is a custom firmware for your phone...
Like the OS is for a pc,custom firmwares are like OS for a phone...
and in order to install a custom rom you need to root a phone and install recovery...
so you must start off with rooting...
I would suggest you to search youtube for detailed video instructions

After seeing all those nice reviews, the pole and the screenshots, I would love to have this rom on my mini. But the thing is the I am totally a new guy out here and do not know how to install it on my phone. Btw, my phone is rooted kernal version 2.6.35.7 gingerbread.
I would be so much obliged to you if anyone could tell me how to install this rom on my phone. If I am not asking for too much, would you give me a complete tutorial on this? since the steps in the first post of this thread confused me. Really sorry for my bad English, I suck at it! :/
Thanks a ton in advance

Quick guide!!
First you have to install ClockWorkMod Recovery the best way is to do this thru Odin! But i think you can also install CWM touch2 from squad with stock recovery!!
If its done only download the rom you like and install it with CWM Recovery!! Read your self thru the forum there are many guids out on how to do it!!
Good luck, happy flashing!!

[Q] Advice to unlock/Root GT-i9000 please

Hi all I've not done this before but not noob to the unlocking scene just first time for Android.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000
Firmware Version 2.3.5
Baseband Version I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
What I'm looking to do is unlock it to allow me to use any network (currently orange).
after that I would then like to look at changing the rom or upgrading to the latest Rom's where able for SIII & S4. :victory:
I've spend a while reading other post so clearer than others but none that can help me as I'm having trouble finding the correct Kernel.
Please any and all help would be most appreciated.:cyclops:

plenty of unlock apps in the market
http://bit.ly/K0HktJ
then follow this tutorial to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966

Update on advice
Hi thanks for posting advice.
I've managed to unlock the phone by using a combination of
Rooting it with Unlock Root via pc
That gave me Superuser (upgraded to pro for £2)
BusyBox Free, Titanium backup Free needed also
Then I was able to use Galaxy S Unlock to save files to sdcard and unlock to any network.:victory:
Now does this mean I'm rooted and don't have to follow all the steps that the link above advices

no need if already got busybox installed

Thanks for comments, can I ask now its rooted do I need to install anything else to allow me to change the Rom's such as newer official ones or once others are raving about.
Thanks.

updating or changing ROM was easy method but deadly also, wrong move will come to brick fone. if u really hav thought it well, juz follow any instruction on xda regarding i9000 after confirming ur device version, backed up baseband, build number n etc involve.
n now u ll need cwm for flashing. find cwm to gain access to recovery n thats where u gonna flash ur custom ROM, but read a lot before doing it as here in Q & A section, many success, also failure posted here, so be sure to read first mate

Congratulations on accomplishing your unlock. Now you might be helped with a good, rich toolbox and clear guides
I'm referring you to some wonderful threads I've come across during similar quests of my own.
(It's all there; but asking the right questions and not seeing the wood for the trees will always remain tricky )
So here are my top three suggestions for your toolbox, in order of importance and relevance. You might find some overlap among them.

As to what ROM to choose, I seriously like to push my own (eventual) ROM of choice, Mackay ROM (Unless gaming on the phone is your thing, which might bring up desires and demands that other ROMs serve even better.)
Good luck!
