[Q] Official android version

Dear concern, i am using galaxy s i9000, i buy it a 2months used cell, as it was using gingerbread 2.3.3, i doesn't know that if it was an official gingerbread or non official, i flashed it with custom rom's, such as XXJVO, XXJVA... and in those i faced some problems i cannot upgrade the firmware version by kies r itself by the phone, so i rooted with so called official version from this link (theandroidsoul)
and now when i connect my phone with kies it has the same problem "your firmware cannot be upgrade by kies"
Can you plz help me that what should i do to get the official version of the gingerbread. Thank u very much in advance.

Go to sammobile.com and make a login account (its free). From there click on firmware and then click on smartphone and then android and so on. Then find the firmware you want. There are also pdf guides that you can follow to tell you exactly what to do.

Yep, you'll need to manually flash stock before Kies will recognize your phone and it's firmware version properly and agree to upgrade it for you.
With stock on, you can still be rooted and do all fancy things there-in, but the OTA upgrades can and usually do break it.
There are also ROMs that are pre-modded/rooted versions of the official firmware that might interest you, and save you some time.

official version

[Q] ICS via PC Odin, Now want the official update via kies

Hello Everyone,
I have a few questions I hope I will get satisfied here.
I have recently updated my GT-N7000 to ICS via this website.
android.gs/ update-samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-to-official-ice-cream-sandwich-lpy-with-mobile-odin/
I followed the PC odin method and in a few minutes I got ICS. It also said that via this method your phone would not be rooted and you will be able to get the official updates through kies in future.
Yesterday I saw on the internet that ICS for Poland is out and now I want the official ICS version via the KIES.
Now whenever I try connecting through kies I get the message that "Your Software doesn't support software upgrading via Kies"
What is the problem? How to solve it?

Download the poland version from sammobile.com or dr ketans thread and flash using pc odin

It would be better to download Polish 2.3.6, after THAT factory reset, and then upgrade into 4 through Kies.

when would i get official isc in serbija ? does somebody know?

Moved To Q&A​
Please post questions in the Q&A section​

The problem is the incopatible csc file... Try the solution provided as first reaction on your post. Either you dowload the old firmware, then you flash it over your current firmware and after this, the kies update should work again.
Or you simply download abd flash the pl. Update directly and kies will work for the future releases in poland.

Great job irritating forum members by hijacking another thread as your very first post... I am sure you will get tons of answers. Maybe read a bit before asking questions - there IS a dedicated ICS info thread...

Well Now I am having problem finding the firmware for my phone when I do this
Dial *#06# that will show hour emei. Write it down, then dial *#272*yourimeinumberhere# that will show your csc, you can change it here, it will wipe your data thought. I get XEO as my sales code.
*#1234# gives me
PDA: N7000XXLPY
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000OXALPY
Build Info: Friday May 4
Also KIES says
Current firmware version: PDA:LPY / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LPY(XEO)
What to do now ?

Did you flash a polish gingerbread or which version did you flash?
Cause now it seems you have ICS open germany version.

My Sales Code is XEO previously I have 2.3.6 and then I flashed two days ago this
ICS via PC odin.
Now what to do ?

Well I dont know if there is a polish version of ICS out yet. But you can check that on
www.sammobile.com
But it shouldnt be any different than the rom you currently have. Except for maybe languagesupport.
So if I were in your situation I wouldnt do anything.

There is a simple solution for that. I did it for exactly the same reason as you. Just download official gingerbread ROM for your country /Poland/ and flash it via Odin. If Kies is still unable to use updates, you will have to find right CSC for your phone. There is allways more than one for each country.. because of different carriers etc. Someone described how to do it in previous comments.
If you get lucky, Kies will be finally satisfied with your phone and will offer you official update /if it is really available/
I have reverted back to the Slovak Gingerbread ROM because I had some issues with German ICS. Now I just have to wait for official update for my country..

I just read in development section that official ICS LPY is out for poland also. You can allways flash that through Odin.

[Q] I'm confused

Hi guys, i've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 and I'm a little confused. My previous phone was a Galaxy Ace S5830i, I had that phone rooted (but it was too easy, just flash a .zip file) and with a custom rom.
So I have some questions:
1) For now I just want to root my new phone but the methods that I found here are not too clear to me. I first saw this method, but my firmware is not there. My phone came with I9070UBLI1 (2.3.6 GB). So i can't root my phone? my kernel isn't even in sammobile.com/firmwares
2) I want to make a backup just in case before rooting, so, what recovery should I use with this phone? cwm? this? or which one?
3) What is "binary counter"? In galaxy ace that wasn't present.
4) I saw that in samsungfirmwares site there are some 4.1.2 kernels, but they are for Rusia. I'm from Chile. So can I flash the russian kernel? will I loose my signal, 3G or something? Do you recommend upgrade to JB? with stock russian or a custom rom?
5) Do you recommend a custom kernel? which one? This looks nice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you can help me with those questions (numering your answers just like i did with my questions), I just want to enjoy a lot my new phone. :good:

I read the forums, but I'm still confused, for example, for rooting, in the thread that I linked in 1) there isn't the firmware that came with my phone, so I went to here, there isn't neither, then I read this post, but to do that I need dowload my phone's firmware, but the one that came with my phone there isn't in samsungfirmares web page, so I suppose I can flash anyone for Chile (my country), there are 2, but idk if they will work, so, if I'm going to take that risk I need to make a backup first, but idk what recovery I should use.
I have a mental bootloop

[Q] If update official update from different country will baseband change?

Hello guys, i will explain the story in order, sorry for my bad Grammar.
first i have the official GTI9070 but i forgot the baseband (GB)
then i accept software update that appear in notification bar, my baseband become I9070DXLK2 (GB)
and i see there's CM11 out that can make kit kat running in I9070.
but it requires root to install CMW / TWRP..
so hard to find root zip for DXLK2, and then i found one full ROM rooted then flash it with odin.
my baseband still I9070 (GB) but rooted (binary counter++)
after that i flash TWRP with odin too.
then i try flashing CM11 with TWRP.
it success, but no mobile network.
i search at this forum and someone say "no mobile network happen because flashing from GB (2.3.x) directly to KK (4.4.x)"
he said first update from GB to official samsung JB.
the problem, there's no official samsung JB update for my country/region (DXLK2)
my question, if i flash the official samsung JB update from other region.. let say it italy.. will my baseband change?
if it changed, what's the problem and whats the negative impact? what should i do better?
thx in advance.
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (Indonesian)

You don't have any negative impact if you flash any stock JB firmware, only with your warranty if you still have one.
Please, follow this guide from point A (JELLYBEANIZATION): [GUIDE] From stock GB to Custom JB (Noob-friendly)
After you updgraded to JB, ask/read some tutorials linked here: [{INDEX of GUIDES/TUTORIALS}] Galaxy S Advance [GT-I9070].
Be sure when you proceed to do something OR ASK before, NOT AFTER you doing something wrong.

Or maybe removed. Try on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com

In Canada, have XXLK2 (Africa?). Want JB, use UK version?
I bought my unlocked I9070 almost 2 years ago and am thinking about upgrading to Android 4.1.2 (JB).
On samsung-updates there appear to be lots of JB versions for different regions.
Can I just select the one for Britain (XXLQE)? Is there anything I need to check re: compatibility?

Yes you can flash any stock firmware for I9070. Be sure you don't flash firmware for I9070P.

Flashing worked...once I found a .zip file

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the samsung-updates.com download to work (used the free one, which either didn't start most of the time or died during download). Eventually, I took the filename (for Britain) and Googled it, and found a download site that let me download it (required 3 hours).
Armed with the .zip file and ODLIN, it worked like a charm. All my installed apps and data survived, which surprised me. I thought this would be a vanilla install.

How To Downgrade to GB 2.3.7?

Hi guys I'm running CM11, ICS 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Ace, GT-S5660D and want to downgrade to the original OS the phone came with, I believe it was GB 2.3.6 or 2.3.7. My phone is rooted but I have no idea how to bring it back to the original Android version. Any help would be appreciated!

Before you install anything, is your phone GT-5660D or GT-5830? Make sure to download the original firmware for your device. Installing any firmware meant for another device on your phone can, in the worst case, hard-brick your device. As for the firmwares, you can download the one that is near to your region. In fact, any regional firmware for a particular phone will work on it. You can also find all the Samsung Galaxy Ace firmwares in the following link,
[Share] All Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Stock Firmwares (2.3.X) Ever Released
Hope I Helped

I just did it with the help of that thread. Thanks all.
