is choose the correct baseband or region ROM important when we flash our SGA?
for example, i am live in Malaysia (Asia), if i flash my phone with a Euro ROM, will it cause any issue ?
i had this problem before, while i am using a Euro ROM in Asia, my GPS can't locate my current position, i tried on sunny day, outside building, wait for an hour, it still can't locate my position. after that, i flash again by using Asia ROM, then my GPS working well.
somebody told me that not only GPS, sometime sms, call, 3G, EDGE , also having problem.
i just want to confirm, is that cause by that ROM is not belong to my region?
You can flash any firmware as long as its for S5830...
Insert witty sentence here
This is mainly for S5830L
S5830 firmwares work on S5830L but you'll have problems with 3G.
As long as your phone is a S5830 you can flash any fimware for it.

I live in Asia, but I once use the EUR firmware, and nothing happen to my device.
I think it's only matter of the language selections

Yes...Thats the only difference..I have been using a European firmware for more than a year now...There are no problems with flashing the firmware of another region

Some roms you have to go back to stock Tom or at least a rom that has stock or stock like kernel for it to work properly. If the rom you want has a custom kernel and the rom you have does too the kernels might not change, you might get the new rom but with the kernel from your last rom. If the kernel isn't compatible with your new rom it can cause problems. That's in my experience anyway. Hope that helped!

I've read on some forum that I should not flash an arabic firmware until I flashed an english one.
I have on my phone JPJP4, I would like to upgrade to JPJPG. So according to what I've heared, I have to upgrade to some other english version before I can think of flashing the arabic-supported version.
Aren't firmwares supposed to erase everything and start over?
I mean, my understanding is a firmware Is a system by itself, it doesn't need another operating system to rely on.
When I install a windows XP on a PC, I don't need any OS to be there!
Can someone give me some insight on this.
thank you.
why don't you upgrade to jpy most roms are based on that firmware version

I am considering upgrading to JPY (but I don't think it supports arabic?)
but that's not the point, I was asking is the statement mentioned in the thread true or false?
why would someone say DO NOT upgrade to an arabic firmware unless you upgraded to an english (i.e. european) firmware first??
so my last question is, is it safe for me to upgrade directly from JHJP4 to XXJPY? is it safe to change firmwares randomly whether it was an upgrade or a downgrade??
as you are going to switch the firmware you should install wipe version and disable lagfix ...... post here what rom do you want to flash and i will check if you need to pre-install english firmware... (i don't think it's needed but i will check)

I was thinking of flashing JPY, then darkyyy's rom. The I discovered that JPY doesn't support arabic. The half-solutions out there are not enough.
So anyway, now I'm going to flash JPJPG, then I'm gonna try darkyyy's (I know darkyyy's doesn't support arabic either, but the firmware JPG does). what do you think?
But here's my original question, why would I ever flash an english firmware before flashing another 'firmware' that supports other languages? aren't they ALL samsung official firmwares??
thank so much for your reply.
i don't know but i think it is not necessary ...... but if you could post thread where you have read it i could

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.
i bougth this galaxy ace s5830l (carrier :claro -puerto rico) and im lil confusse is the s5830l different to the s5830 or are in fact the same one ?
I had a galaxy L, the only change is that the L is the american model, appart form that, there's no change at all , the only thing it's that we can't flash european ROMs (KPH,KPN, etc) The only ROMs we can flash are these:
2.3.4 8 (Vivo) Comes from brasil, the only change is that your phone model will change from L to B (I'm using this, works pretty fine!, if you flash it, dont put the CSC file)

and this one: (I haven't used it and don't know nothing about it, but I've read it works fine too)

hope I answered your question! if I did, please press the ''THANKS'' buttom!
Uhmm good to know. So I suppose it is not recommendable to flash any of those ROM found here? Too bad, cause I really wanted to have a shot at a couple of them.
If only u can unlock ur fone.

You can flash any 5830 ROM. The only difference is the hspa frequencies so you have to use a south American modem.

Hi, my phone is a Galaxy Ace 5830L (bought on Chile, latin america) and I want to know if I can safely use the regular 5830 roms or not, or wich one is suitable if any.
Thanks!
yes you can, but remember to flash the modem of your region if you change the stock rom
Thread moved to Q & A, post in the relevant section next time.

Ok thanks! I just wsnted to be sure. One time I used a regular galxy sii rom on a i9100g and it got bricked. I was able to fix it but I didn't want that to happen again.
Sory about the post on the wro g swction, won't happen again.

I'm looking for the details of a stock rom, baseband, android version, etc. Also if it's an EE rom that'd be even more help. I need a stock rom because I think I did something to my phone to cause the battery life to deteriorate drastically, it still falls even when in charge and takes hours on end for a full charge when it's off. I want my phone to match what a stock rom would have because Samsung could laugh in my face saying it's my fault for modifying my phone. If I install an EE rom from sammobile would that put everything to how it was out of the box? If anyone has a stock rom please share the system details Or even a fix for the battery problem.
Thanks

I'm looking for the latest update from EE that was available for download via kies because when i take it to a repair centre I want the firmware to be official without any tweaks! Or even for the software to look like it's come out of the box
Thanks
it's always been my understanding that to flash an update over a custom ROM through kies would remove your custom ROM, root etc?
