Updating through Kies is a piece of cake if there is an update available. I don't know what the stock ROM was in UK but I guess early phones shipped with XXJF3. For everything else, read the FAQ!

Hi, xxjf3 was the veraion i had, is therw anywhere i can download from as foe kies the reason i updated manually using odin was thwre was an update through kies but it would not allow me to update, if someonw could provide a guide to rom update alk the differwnt ways would help.

I see you can't see my signature when using your phone...
Check the FAQ sticky when you get to a PC. You can't do it on the go anyways:

The only official tool for updating is Kies. However if you want to load arbitrary firmware you can use Odin (which is a leaked Samsung tool) or Heimdall (a custom flashing tool developed by myself) once it's been tested that is, it's in a public alpha at the moment.

[Q] Roll-back flashed ROM

I need HELP....
I updated my android ROM from 2.2 to 2.3.2 without doing my home work in investigating what should be checked before the flashing and now my Galaxy Tab 7'' is working with in the new version but giving error messages in the com.android.phone and I don't remember the original version of my firmware to get it back.
Pleas help!
Note: I am in Egypt and my old version used to support Arabic and my operator is Vodafone.

Can you put up what works and what doesn't with this rom? Also I would like some screen shots before I flash this. Thanks in advance!

Did you even read what he posted? Lmao
Anyway sorry I can't help you with type problem only thing I would do is reflash the rom you just flashed maybe a clean install will stop your error

Thanks Howard for your reply,
I am trying to do that but the problem is that i knew that there are ROM versions for regions and Operators so I can't just get any ROM and flash it and I strongly believe that I flashed an European ROM.
So what I am trying to figure out now, how can I know the right version!

If the update came from OTA then you may have to investigate what the old bootloader was, flash it using odin and let the update happen again. There is a thread here that is about an Arabic tab, so do a search for that and there should be some instructions on flashing. I'm going to do the same and report back shortly.
EDIT: It's all right here bro. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143539&highlight=arabic+vodaphone

Thanks alot for your help, i am downloading this ROM now and hope it will work

I tried the ROM you sent but it failed to install and now the Tab fail to open keeps giving me the screen of connection between the Tab and the computer and an exclamation mark between them..... did I break my tab?

Well i managed to install an older ROM 2.2 on my G Tab but i still want to install a newer version but this time i guess i will do further investigations before flashing my tab

Sorry I've been busy and I forget to subscribe to threads sometimes. Now that you have of back to stock and error free you can try for an official update. I am.assuomng you use KIES? If its available that's how you should get it. Homework is the way to go. Sorry I can't help you further.

If still you're facing problems with this ROM, you can go for OVERCOME - Jupiter version. It's 2.3.3 and provide full support for Arabic.

Please provide more details so that we can help.
1. Why can't kies determine your firmware version? Try *#1234# on the dialer-what is the output?
2. There is no official firmware for manual updating. Only kies can provide "official" updates. The ones made available thru samfirmware or even the ones from here are not guaranteed to work. So just in case you upgrade manually and your tab gets bricked you cannot go to samsung and claim warranty.

OK. Hi again. I was looking at the files for the rooted .tar available for Sprint in the us amd the files are there for Arabic language which leads me to assume most of the roms might have it. I'll look into this more tonight but what I need you to do is provide a catlog that shows the fc. Apps for it are available on the market. Attach the text file with your response. Happy day.

Problem with updating rooted phone

I have been using cm7 nightlies and miui for a while, but decided to get back on stock because of instabilties. So I restored a backup of stock from before I changed ROM using cwm.
Today I tried to install the newest update using the update function on the phone. It downloaded the file, but it says file corrupt...
What could be causing this?

Try to use the LG update tool on pc. This download the full Rom and install it on the phone. I think is ~400 MB.

I have now done this. Had to try 4-5 times...
Also, the Mobile support tool makes my computer VERY laggy. This sucks, LG!

To use LG update tool you need to erase CWM and restore original LG recovery. Search a bit here or on Modaco's site I've seen somewhere a zip file to do it from CWM.

Need Baseband for LG Thrill

Guys,
Tried to install the GB on THrill and it was installed successfully and only was getting 3G speeds. In the process of installing GB, there is a part where we need to update the baseband to something and since I didn't like it, I reverted back, But I am getting only Edge where ever I am going. Earlier I get H and H+ on AT&T. Anyone knows where I can get the baseband file for LG Thrill so that I can install.
Any advice is appreciated as well.
Guys one of our guys found the baseband for LG Thrill. Please check the post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19440931&postcount=48
Great Thanks to him..

Try installing thriller only thing I can suggest, I have gave my warning and said wait for dev supported gb. When I had the Atrix installing the leaked gb caused some bricks and unforseen complications, like not being able to revert back.

Any help to root the leaked ICS ROM

I was trying to connect my D4 with the leaked ICS ROM though adb
but after typing adb shell, it keep telling my device was offline
if i can connect the device, is it possible to push the busybox, su, etc to /system/xbin and enabling the root privilege?

Can't help you with actually rooting the build (sorry), but I have seen other threads that seem to indicate that if you reinstall your drivers the problem should resolve itself...

Where is the leaked rom?

no luck anyone? i really want root back.....I love everything about this update i just want my root back please!!!!!

I can point you in the right direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467598 I think if we knew the correct hex values to change in the .bat we might be able to get root.

It seems the problem i face now is i cannot push the files to the phone as permission denied.....or device offline....i actually could even push su to /data/local
which render other commands useless.....

pimpsalot69: He was referring to getting it installed, not getting root. Unfortunately, if you lost root during the upgrade process (like I did) there isn't currently a way to restore it. You'll have to wait for a new method to be released.

I thought the GSM patch is automatically enabled on the ICS ROM? All you have to do is put in your foreign SIM card and you should be ready to go.

It doesn't seem to work - I put in the foreign SIM and can make and receive calls without an issue. But no 3G data available (and I have set all the data roaming, etc. on in settings). If I had root access, then I could try to flash that rom to see if it worked. I'm in South Africa on the Vodacom network (3G).
