[Q] Help needed to update my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (Unlocked Version) - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Sorry I am new bie just created account to post my query , if I'm violating any rule sorry about that
I recently bought Samsung GT-I9000 mobile through online purchase. Then i tried to connect my laptop using Samsung Kies but was not recognizing , then slowly understood the Android version in my mobile is 2.3.4 , tried to uppgrade to higher version which was also seemed much complex, then after listening to few Service agents i came to know that my mobile is Unlocked Version (not Indian model) so it needs professional to upgrade the version
Then onwards i started surfing net , now just came to know ur website & writing this to know
If my mobile can be accessed through Kies software & can be upgraded to higher version of android
If so , would like to know the step by step procedure on how to Upgrade to Version 4.x.x (latest)
I am not sure if i get expected support from you, Any help on this is really appreciated
I am located in Bangalore
My Model Details:
Firmware Version: 2.3.4
BaseBand Version: I9000ZSJPJ
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build No: Lidroid-i9000-1.2
I am unable to find Sales Code
Dial *#06# to get the IMEI and write it down; Dial *#272*IMEI# on the dial pad.
This shows me a blank sales code
Thanks
Raj

It looks like you got scammed and your device is not i9000 but M110S, so read this , so check your IMEI and also remove back cover exposing battery and look at your speakers at the back of your phone .
IF speakers are made of metal and SILVER /Chrome plated , its an M110S as these are stereo speakers, if it looks, same like cover and made of plastic than its an i9000. But these can be swapped by scampers too, so the only best fool proof method is the IMEI check.

Hi xsenman
thanks for information, I can able to see the IMEI no by pressing *#06#
based on your comment i could not understand the solution/fix for my problem
I just need to know if there is any Upgrading chance , if so step-by -step procedure for that
Regards
Raj

One more information
by pressing *#06# i get below IMEI no
354581040087919
by removing battery (back side cover) there is written IMEI no
354581/04/129908/3
Just providing this to see if this helps you to provide more helpful information

according to IMEI check, your phone is M110S and not i9000, so you need to use repair kit to upgrade it to gingerbread 2.3.6
see the attached image from IMEI check web site.

Hi Expert,
What i understood from the mail conversation is , what i bought is actually M110S, but look like an i9000,
between them feature everything same except few small differences which may not be perceived by user/consumer
If I use your Repair Kit (follow steps) i can make it as Pure M110S , so that below my problems would get fixed
1) Unable to recognize Kies (where as I always use in USB mode accessing data from PC/Laptop )
2) Can be upgraded from 2.3.6 to 4.x.x in future without much struggle (Just by using Kies )
Please confirm above points to take decision to follow your steps

The M110S was designed for Koreans ( Samsung Home market) with Digital TV & Radio and better quality than the i9000 but why are they being sold cheaper and dressed like i9000 in order to sell?
simply because there is NO further upgrade for this model after gingerbread and because NO one can produce a stable ICS or Jellybean ( without source code) for it to-date.
so NO, you cannot upgrade this model any further after Gingerbread with all its features working ( forget about the Digital TV & Radio)
After years of trying by Koreans they were able to get Jelly bean ROM to boot but cannot resolve Ringtone read this
Hence the reason for using i9000 themed M110S ROM and trying to sell it as i9000. So if you a looking for a normal gingerbread smartphone, you might as well use it as is with an i9000 and skip trying to to do anything with it.
Its useless to connect to KIES, as NO more updates for M110S or i9000 will be released by Samsung. Gingerbread was their final release but because the i9000 is similar to Google Nexus, their ROMs have been easily ported and the i9000 has hundreds of ROM's available for it from ICS to Kit Kat
Hence, M110S has limited choices or none and i9000 seems to have too many choices

Thanks for your patience & advice on this
Ok, so no more chance for up-gradation from 2.3.x I will stay with current configuration only
Then what about my point (1) on how to fix Accessing data using Kies ?
Niether way ( M110S or I9000) Kies would not help me to access my Phone?
If so i should always use USB mode to Tx data to & fro My phone to PC?

To solve USB connection problems follow this guide , KIES will not work on Win 8.1 and for some models you need to use KIES older version's , look in My Android Collections, link below under managing tool for KIES older versions
USB storage mode is the Normal way to manage your SD cards but a better tool would be My Phone explorer

Hi xsenman,
In order to Upgrade my existing 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 I am trying to follow your procedure given, but i found Under "PIT STOP"
I got confused which Link i had to choose to proper (without Issue ) upgrade can u simply give one best working link ?
From the Link i Understood History of the M110S Stock ROM
What is Confusing is lot of Series (among them log of links with Screen Shots)

Anycall Galaxy S?

hi guys
I just got a Galaxy S but its branded from Any Call Provider from Korea its openline but I have no idea how to change firmware or roms or is it safe since its from korea.
I want to change roms and root it
I tried the root guide but there is no apply update.zip selection
Here is the version
PDA:M110S.DG14.0001
PHONE:M110S.DG07.1842.ST
TIA
Hi !
First of all - Congrats !
Now you really NEED to read THIS : THE BIG FAQ
this will make your life easier and drop the panic levels
Good luck

Yes there is.
22.Can I flash an Asian ROM on my European device or vice versa?
Flashing should work without any problems. There are no known compatibility issues as of now. If any should arise, flashing back to Asian firmware is always possible.
Check your current ROM by dialing *#1234* to make sure you do not have a Korean variant of the phone (which is NOT compatible!).
Actually its not my concern if you read my post I've included my firmware and radio
PDA:M110S.DG14.0001
PHONE:M110S.DG07.1842.ST
It's different from all the firmware listed its from Korea so I want if I can make it to i9000JXXXX like that not this korean firmware

Go ahead and flash , then post your resutls here
It's not really easy. That's why I'm asking if there are other people who try to flash on this korean version of SGS. I would love to flash this but if it gets bricked you are the one who will replace it

Now im lost, I thought you were able to confirm that your SGS is different from the one that comes from korea despite it being "Anycall" thats why I posted the quote.. altho I understand the step says Asia to Euro but the note at the end says make sure your not using a korean version of the phone, then you said that is not your concern.
The step may refer flashing an Asian FW to a Euro handset but it clearly states that you are not able to flash X FW if your handset is from Korea.
But yeah at the end of the day, its not yet possible to change the FW on a Korean based handset.
Sorry for that, I also got lost. So it solves my problem and I'm stuck with these korean firmware. Is ther a possibility of root?
As Per this site in pages 8 and above
they confirmed that they use superuse+su+busybox by using Odin3
http://forum.samdroid.net/f49/superuser-su-busybox-i9000-v-2-01-07-2010-a-1355/
Anyone can confirm?
I'm too annoyed with this different firmware
Thousands of devices have been rooted in Korea, but it's hard to find support here for the device. Do a Naver search for "갤럭시s 루팅" or go to matpclub.com
I'm at matpclub.com
lucky for me, it's hard to understand and translation is not good
Agreed, but if you can find the file that contains odin and the update.zip everything else seems fairly like every other rooting system. Unfortunately, I deleted the file and the link after I was unsuccessful getting my device into recovery mode.
Here is the link for root. But I can't download the Msuper.zip

I'm too nervous to do this since my phone got no warranty and i'm not in korea

[Q] How to flash lastest and greatest Froyo 2.2.1 and radio?

Hi there,
I would like to use Odin to flash my SGS 9000 to the latest version of Froyo 2.2.1 (stock Samsung), and the latest radio firmware.
In this thread the list of firmwares are listed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
I want to use Odin to do this.
Current status of my 'phone
2e Recovery with 3 button recovery and download mode is enabled.
PDA: I9000XWJM2
PHONE: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000OXXJM2
Pcode: GT-I9000HKATPH
What to use
Which one of the listed firmwares can I use to get the phone up to the latest version? I think these, but am unsure:
I9000XXJPU|2.2.1|2010 December
There is a URL to a file called "All CSC Download". I think the latest file is called: CSC_I9000OXFJP6.tar.md5
Will CSC_I9000OXFJP6.tar.md5 work on my 'phone, and will it offer any improvements over I9000OXXJM2?
Regards.
im using doc rom and it is blazing fast. Doc and others provide great support if your in trouble.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Lovely, but you should start a new thread about Doc ROM. This thread is about using the latest stock Samsung 2.2.1
If you require advertising space for doc rom then might I suggest Google Adsense?
Doc's ROM = Froyo 2.2.1 (without most of the bugs stock has)
Please read the android development section. It's not nice to just wait and be spoon fed all the info if the info is just a few clicks away..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Apologies about the doc rom message I wrote. I had misinterpreted it.
I wont flash non stock firmware. I only want to flash the latest Samsung including CSC.
The reason is simply lack of information about what everything does. All the threads tell me to do step A then step B, but seldom explain what & why. Thus I am unable trust what is said, & will therefore only use the official Samsung.
/EDIT:
I have searched for Doc Rom on the web, so far only found this site:
http://www.galaxyroot.com/howtorom-a-noobs-guide-to-installing-docrom-xxjpu-v1-1-with/
I was looking for a list of the following for Doc Rom:
Changelog, indicating reasons for the change from stock Samsung.
Diffs between files of the code changes made.
Release notes.
Does anyone know where I can find these?
Samsung XXJPU is a leaked firmware.Samsung didn't release the source code for it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Oh. Perhaps Android is psuedo open source.
is this the same for the CSC I9000OXFJP6? ( Although I don't know if this would work with my 'phone so my question may be moot)
If you are that distrusting and need to know exactly what and why things are changed , you will never be able to flash any firmware again .. You willnot find a byte per byte explanation .. And because you do not trust rommod you can also not trust leaked roms !! Who knows , maybe somebody changed somtheing in the leaked firmware .. The only right thing for you to do is wait for a rom update via kies ! But ..... be warned Samsung also doesn't deliver a changelog !!

[Q] New Tab owner - quesion about upgrading to GB

Hi Guys,
I bought a Galaxy Tab P1000N and i have Froyo2.2
I would like to update to GingerBread 2.3 at least but with all the manuals out there, i'm affraid i'll brick it.
This is the info i have:
Model number GT-P1000N
Firmware Version 2.2.1
Baseband Version P1000NUBJM2
Build number FROYO.UBJM7
Can you please point me to the right manual? if it is even possible to update it?
I tried installing the latest Kies from the EU site, but it says my version is up to date..
Thanks,
Roi
can i say if you going to update to gingerbread you should use a custom rom based on gingerbread and the OVERCOME ROM is the best so far as for the battery life is amazing and the tab will be much faster ... head to their thread and read about it and step by step will will find everything you need to know ..
Thanks!
Medoo88 - 2 questions:
1. I need to be absolutely sure that with the specs i gave above, my tab will handle this.
2, Since you're in Egypt, this question is even more relevant: Does the Gingerbread ROM have good Arabic/Hebrew support?
Thanks,
Roi
Shalom

Did you do it on a P1000N ?
How complicated is it? (not a complete noob at ROMs, but not familiar with tabs nonetheless..)

It started life as a Tmobile Model SGH-T849. After the GB upgrade, it now shows as a GT-P1000.
I am able to make and receive telephone calls with my tmobile sim. I'm very happy with the update. I have no data plan so don't know anything about that function. Very stable and working great.
I'm very new to all this. I took my time, followed the instructions and it work just like they said it would.
Overcome doesn't have Arabic language or locale, but at least two team members are Arabic or Egyptian, so they made a patch that you apply to the Overcome rom for those languages/locale of that region.
The reason kies says you are up to date is samsung hasn't released any new roms in your country.
Any tab with a sim card can be upgraded to 2.3.3.
Get the guide from Team Overcome, read everything twice. You have a windows 7 pc available?
Remember I told you to remember JM2. You'll understand later.
Rangercaptain -
Many thanks. thats the answer i needed.
Although i need a hebrew support and not Arabic, i still think its worth upgrading to.
I'll do the Overcome team patch, and will remember JM2
Yes i have Win 7 on my PC..
[Edit]
One thing i found out on Overcome website, is this announcement:
"Overcome ROMs/Kernels will NOT work with Latin American Tabs (the P1000L/N Galaxy Tabs)/CDMA-Based Tabs (If your Tab doesn’t have a SIM card, it won’t work…sorry!)/Wi-Fi Only Tabs (P1010 models!)"
Am I in the wrong place?

any input will be greatly appreciated.. thanks a lot..
It simply means that you'll have to wait for the update. Some are getting OTA some via KIES. Don't worry about the message your getting from KIES. I got.tiff and 2 weeks later it updated to a new version and ran the update to ICS. Its rolling out slowly in different regions.
If you can't wait head over to sammobile.com and grab the firmware to flash yourself with Odin...

the OP said they distant want to root!
As a previous poster has said you have two choices really. 1. wait for the official OTA release, or 2. Download an existing stock ROM that had already been released and flash that using Odin.
Instead of using SamMobile you could download FUS Checker, and use that to download a ROM that matches your configuration (if available.) FUS Checker is a Windows app that searches Samsung servers in the same way as Kies but allows you to download and decrypt the file so you can flash it with Odin.

Please post questions in the Q&A section​

the problem is i think its korean its csc is :e210ssktall2
i updated it to stock jelly bean rom from xda forums previously it was ICS everything work fine but wifi keeps on getting disconnecting .... and i cant still update via wifi or kies .... how can i go back to ICS or can i burn german i9305 ROM inside is it possible ?
one last thing my s3 has an antenna on top that extends out is it like this because i didnt see on anyother i9305 (dont tell me its fake )
Hey,
yes, it's the korean SHV-E210S, have you installed the correct firmware?

Try both and test your wifi.
*EDIT: Can you make a photo of your phone?
what image u want ?
well android version was 4.1.2 but when i clicked on it it showed ICS
can i burn german ROm or anyother that will update here normally ?
right now its JLL6
thankww man
ICS is until 4.0.4. So 4.1.2 means JellyBean.
No, you can't install another rom. You have to use the rom for your phone SHV-E210S. The german ones are for GT-i9305.
Have a look at the back of your phone. remove the battery and take a look at the modelnumber. ?
And a photo of these "antenna". Sounds crazy...^^
Have you tried installing the latest firmware vie Odin?
