[Q] Upgrading to Gingerbread without messing up Kies

Hi all,
I would love to upgrade my P1000 to Gingerbread.
At the moment the infos about my device are:
PDA: P1000XWJMI
PHONE: P1000XXJMA
CSC: P1000CPWJM2
This is what I see pressing *#1234#
Now the About Device menu says:
Model: GT-P1000
FW: 2.2
Baseband: P1000XXJMA
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.XWJMI
As stated above I would like to upgrade to a stock gingerbread release so that Kies does not say unable to update your phone. I guess I need proper files to do that. Can anyone address me to the right links and of course the steps to do it via Odin (what to check/unchek etc)?
Thanks in advance,
Fed.

Read the development section. There are PLENTY of posts on how to do it.

Sorry, but the forum is full of posts and i can't find specific threads for my issue. Informations are here and there and as you know understanding one little bit badly could make me brick my P1000. I would need to know what software to use so that the phone regional settings do not mess with Kies. If possible a link to a post (or more posts) and links to softwares are welcome.
Oh, knowing how to make a dump of my actual ROM would not be bad if anyone can help.

Your present firmware XWJMI is European(Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom).....
Unfortunately there is still no official upgrade for your region from Samsung so whatever ROM you flash whether from this forum or elsewhere, Kies will always see it as "cannot be updated".
Unless you want to try the Asian firmware-like I have.......

[Q] how to update?

Either update through Kies (official way), or use Odin (a leaked Samsung app with which you can flash your phone) and a ROM of your choice. You can find enough documentation here on how Odin works

YouTube it. Lots of nice easy guides on how to do it. You'll never go back to stock!

you can go to development section of the forum. there are lots of description about it.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy 7.7 change the Chinese Version into International Version

Dear Experts,
I am a really Android Newbie and a few day ago I bought here in China the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, P6800 with Chinese firmware.
Great tablet, but very limited access to international websites and apps
With the help of a friend we rooted the tablet with Odin, installed the recovery clock mod and tried to upload a new firmware. Unfortunately something went wrong. We tried everything that is possible in the mod menu (the menu where the tiny Android is in the back). We tried to recover, to update (we even extracted the recovery.img from the .tar file), used the wipe date and wipe... and did a factory reset. Nothing happens and the tablet was unable to restart and even unable to turn off. The Samsung screen freezes.
At least we went to the store where I bought the tablet and received a new one with Chinese firmware.
Now I am / we are back to beginning and would like to know more about how to change the chinese firmware into the European, at least Hong Kong Version.
I try to describe, what we would like to know, but as you know I am not an expert like you are
How to flash a firmware without using Odin from mod menu (menu, where the little Android is in the back)?
We
Where to get a suitable firmware for my tablet, that will help me to have an open version like Europe / Hong Kong?
How to flash back from mod menu to Chinese version - in worst case?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks for your kind support, Jenny

May anyone can move this thread to the correct forum section?

Thank you very much.
Best regards, Jenny

I really dont know the benefit from 10-posts limit but however... I have to post 10 posts before I can ask in Artemis ROM thread this question:
1.) To everyone how flashed with HSPL 3.03.00000, what RAM utilization do you have after opneing all tabs?
2.) To Sternas, Would it be a great idea to remove all the Windows Live and Marketplace apps which doesnt have any functionality since Microsoft gave Wndows Mobile up?
3.) To Sternas: Thank you for this ROM!

[Q]need help rooting or not

hy guys, I received my galaxy note last month, it is an italian version no-brand with LB1 GB. I looked on the internet and I found that version isn't directly rootable. I want to personalise my note and try some cooked roms I saw here on forum. What do you recomand to me?
- wait for the official ics release for my country and then root it? (italian one wasn't released yet)
- force and directly up from lb1 (stock italy) to lpy (german official)
- downgrade from lb1 to kka (or similar) and then root it.
Need some help because I'm a bit confused and I don't want to brick my new phone.
Ps: this is my first android phone, before of this I had only symbian (to make you understand my level of androisation...)

1. Stay on GB
2. look at development section for dr ketans guide on rooting your phone.
3. And may the lord of bricks not cast a glance on you
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums

You can also customize your device without rooting.
Try Go launcher, launcher pro etc....
There is plenty of options to customized your device.
Google will help you find them.....

thanks for your answers. I think I will follow the dr ketan's guide and try to downgrade to a directly rootable version. I will upgrade this post with my experience
I successufully downgraded using dr ketan's guide - with that version (KJ) I found a bug, my keyboard didn't work (for writing messages for example)
I upgraded my phone to LB2 using odin and installed ics 4.0.4 of CyanogenMod nightly version. it's ok now, I only miss the applications of the S-pen
thanks for your help!

[stock rom][2.3.6] P1000BUJQ3_P1000BUJQ1_P1000TCLJQ1

Hi xda-developers,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab (P1000) (hw ver. rev1.2), provided by Vodafone Portugal, and I want exploit the device by installing custom ROMs.
But as you can imagine, I want to be sure that I can revert the device to this state whenever I want. And this is my problem....
I've been searched for tutorials how to do this, but i could not find this specific ROM.
Info after pressing *#1234# :
Firmware Version:
PDA - P1000BUJQ3
PHONE - P1000BUJQ1
CSC - P1000TCLJQ1
Android version is 2.3.6 and carrier is Vodafone Portugal
I also went to a Vodafone forum, and they suggested an alternative by asking a previous version ROM to Samsung (unlikelly): Android 2.2, P1000BUJI4+P1000TCLJI1
I also can't get this one.
Questions:
Do you have any sugesttions where can I get this stock ROM (preference 2.3.6)?
What does people like me normally do in this sittuations on their devices?
Is there any Stock Rom without carrier (directly from Samsung)? Can I install another P1000 stock rom from another carrier (I don't like this sollution) ?

Let me just say this.
You P1000 is no different than all the P1000 talked about here.
Just read all some if the threads here and you know what to do.

Thanks priyana, but I want to preserve the original ROM for a eventual revert, and that's what I can't find in any P1000 thread.

Thanks nurusz, but I don't want how to flash the P1000;
What I want is the stock ROM for P1000, carrier Vodafone Portugal (TCL), no matter what version (2.2 or 2.3) and not-rooted
I have 2.3 now in my P1000 (that was never flashed before (only updated via Kies)).

Does anyone provide me any reliable solution to this?
Thank you!
