[Q] asian firmwares vs europe firmware

I have an asian SGS 9000 and I was wondering if I can flash it with the latest european firmware?
Thank you.

Go ahead, minor difference in bundled applications, system languages and APN settings, been using euro firmwares in asian sets for quite a while...

U guys use xxjm8?
Is it good? No bugs?
If use voodoo, is it fast enough ( i got 180 apps installed)?

its safe UNLESS you have a Korean SGS (Anycall phone) then DONT DO IT! For some reason they brick. I havn't looked into it as I had no need but faqs mention not to do it.

I have an SGS 9000 from singapore singtel. Not the korean "anycall" version. : ) Lucky : )

Why do you want European firmware? You live in Asia and be happy. You don't need Europe.

[Q] Noob Firmware Update

Hello everyone,
I just received my Galaxy I9000, and made sure i can access the Download Mode and the Recovery Mode using the 3 button combos explained in the wiki.
I bought this phone in the united states, as an unlocked phone. Since i live in South America (Ecuador to be exact), i don't have an official version for this market and i'm using this international version I9000.
Checked the Firmware version installed and is the following:
PDA: I9000BUJP7
Phone: I9000BUJP5
CSC: I9000GVD2JP5
Build Info: 2010.10
Also checked the unlock status:
Personalization Status
Network Lock: OFF
Network Subset Lock: OFF
SP Lock: OFF
CP Lock: OFF
My phone's firmware is a provider one (Vodafone), looked in samfirmware to check for new firmwares, but i need some advice:
First, since my phone has a provider specific firmware, can i flash my phone with a "generic" samsung firmware?
If so which ones should i choose the European versions or the America/Australia firmwares??
I see in the list for europa versions this one as the last:
I9000XWJS8 ## 512.PIT Version 2.2.1
And for america this one:
I9000BVJJPD ## 512.PIT Version 2.2 2010 December
I was tempted to go for the european version but im just not shure.
Also what about the MODEM/CSC, do i need to flash those too? since those are also customized versions from the provider?
I dont mind loosing all the samsung apps, and the vodaphone ones, as they are pretty useless here.
Any advice on what is the best path to go from here is appreciated.
I bought this phone so i can learn to develop for android but im really new to this world.
Thanks

Search up goots tutorial. I think the CsC version just determines which stock apps get installed when you flash to be honest, I picked xeu because it's Europe generic but I dont think it matters
The froyo I had from goots link had multi CSC and you could pick and choose

You can use latest European version np. Im on it now but im from Europe but was on JPG 1 week ago and its from Asia. CSC is what gives you your APN for data traffic and the keyboard languages included but u can swap that easily using the Romkitchen or u can input your provider data manualy. Modem is your wifi, data network and gps driver you can use any the one from JS8 is very good so is JPG one. With modem its possible that with JQ1 u cant acces the 850mhz band immediatly but there are allreadu solutions to fix that on this forum.
Best advice i can give u is follow this guide:

[Q] galaxy ace gts5830l

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)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144575
and this one: (I haven't used it and don't know nothing about it, but I've read it works fine too)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206112
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.

[Q] Galaxy SPlus problem

Hello everyone,
I was trying to update firmware through Kies and in between this period i unplugged my phone. it was bricked, but i took it to market and they installed the Gingerbread in my phone again
Firmware 2.3.5
Baseband I9001XXKPF
Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-pref ([email protected] 156 #1)
Build number GINGERBREAD.JPKP3
after this installation i am having some problem with the phone, WIFI is disconnecting again and again every 1minute. And phone is consuming more battery than before. Please help me, is there any fix for this problem????

Just flash the firmware again with odin

sammobile <- here you get the stock firmware you want
here is a howto with odin

Dear All,
thanks for the reply, I am living in Saudi Arabia i selected the country "Saudi Arabia" from Sam Mobile, after selecting country i got this firmware pic attached! IS this default firmware, i mean the original gingerbread firmware which comes with the phone?
And how to install it again? i read that article on broodplank, but usage of odin is different than i found on XDA.
please advise, shall be very thankful to you all!

Sorry i forget to post this picture, this list has all firmwares for Middle East countries, I am confused now and don't know these firmwares will be in English Language OR not? I mean i don't need Arabic Firmware (Gingerbread in Arabic) because i don't know Arabic :s

See the wiki for instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Flashing_in_Windows
The 1969 thing is probably because somehow the time wasn't set properly, so it probably defaulted to -1 or something like that. Let 0 be the first of January 1970 (Unix epoch as Jacol82 said) and -1 is in December 1969

Need I9305XXUENC1 firmware

Hi guys can someone give me link to I9305XXUENC1 firmware without carriers branding ?? I search in sammobile but those are carriers firmware( t mobile. Vodaphone etc)..

Not really, no. Where are you from ? Sammobile as both carrieer branded and unbranded (Ex. Portugal, TCL = Vodafone, TPH = ThePhoneHouse, unbranded.)

there is no unbranded i9305XXUENC1 firmware..

choose branded...is has some apps from that carrier...and that's it...
