Kies JFF Upgrade advice please! - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hello all,
I am new to android and have been reading quite a bit of this forum to catch up!
I need some advice.
I bought Galaxy S from an e-shop in greece back in July which specifically said greek version. And true to its word it did have the greek language and swype keyboard installed but when the phone booted up it was in SpanisH (after a while I managed to change it to english).
I have a PDA version of XWJFB and phone and CSC version of XXJF5
because the PDAand phone version is not the same kies says that I cannot upgrade this version. HOWEVER, when I use kies in test mode it says that I can update to PDA:JFF/PHONE JF5. Is it safe to upgrade? Will I loose the greek swype and language or something...
Thanks in advace,
Chryssa

How to "downgrade" to Arabic ROM?

Hi all,
I recently bought an iMate K-JAM with World Wide English on it and recently tried to install the ship version of the ROM that comes on the Arabic version.
I noticed after the install that I still have the WWE verion (ExtROM 1.1.9.104)
Now the question is how can I downgrade to the ExtROM 1.1.9.103 that comes on the Arabic version since I would like Arabic Localization?
Thanks
my dear,
you don't have to downgrade!
just go to clubimate.com
register your mobile with its imei #
then download the latest arabic version on their site,
and that's it.

Traditional Chinese display on Xperia x2
Hi there, I have just successfully changed my default language to Traditional Chinese on X2. It turns out that you do not need to download a taiwan version of the rom by yourself. Like you, I have tried every cab file or ce star suite and none of them works on the MR2 update.
However, there is one thing that works.
I have discovered that you need to first of all obtain the file posted in this thread for TW:"[100% Working] Changing the default language of Xperia X2 - takes you 5 minutes."
Then uninstall the update service on your PC completely and download a new one from the sony ericsson Taiwan website.
After installing the newly downloaded update service, just follow the steps posted in the first thread and you should get the update service downloading an update file which is of the size of 134mb, bigger than the English version of 128MB for MR2 update.
This works even if you have already updated to the English version of MR2 as I did.
Hope it helps. It worked on mine and it should work on yours as well.

it works , thx a lot^^
guys... I just upgraded to the mr2 and had the problem when I installed CE star. that is when i found out that Ce star is not compatible with mr2. One clarification request on this post, when you get the upgrade software from the sony ericcson taiwan website and get chinese language support with the update....does it give you option of keeping english as the default language?. I am looking for chinese language support so that the chinese messages to me dont appear as blocks.
Does this taiwan s/w default language chinese change the whole phone language to chinese? Or it only support chinese display and the menu still in english?????
it will install a chinese Version of WM6.5.3 to your phone, so most of the things will be in Chinese, and most software will read your phone as chinese phone and switch to Chinese by default, it is a bit annoying, but that is the best we can do with X2 now... It is sad that HK has dropped X2 from its product lineup because usually HK would offer a rom that is ENG based while supporting Chinese read/input... If you opt to install SPB after stripping your phone then you can still change the default language in SPB and that will show most of stuff in English, by still all marketplace, google map, will still show everything in Chinese...
have a look on the cabs i made, maybe they will meet your needs:

Get Sunglobe Simplified Chinese Fonts for reading Simplified Chinese text and PlumSip for Chinese text input. It worked for X2 with MR2. Hope this helps.

[Q] Keyboard languages gone after flashing, downgrade not helping

Hi guys,
Being addicted to fiddling with all my devices, I flashed my Tab with newer firmware than what was originally in (XXJH3).
My Tab was bought in Norway, and had norwegian/swedish/danish keyboard options both for Swype and for Samsung keyboard.
After flashing, they are all gone. Also tried reflashing to XXJH3 (going from JJ4 which is the only full firmware on samfirmware.com), but they will not come back.
Any suggestions? I've tried alot of things, like purposedly "bricking" it and let Kies try restore original firmware (which doesn't work as it won't recognise it as a device needing recovery or upgrade), or flash more or less all of the firmwares on samfirmware.com, but nothing seems to contain these languages.
Does anyone have a working Windows registry entry for the device for Kies which is older and will allow a Kies flash?
Or does anyone know of a way to add these languages back manually?
try to instal jk5 from samfirmware.com. it's quite fast and you will find languages there.
i had similar problem.
I have JK5 on at the moment, and the languages are not there.
They are there for the whole device, so I can set my device to be any language, but there's only a limited amount of languages for the Swype and Samsung Keyboard, no longer including scandinavian languages.
anyone been able to solve this.. ? i have the same problem..
want to get it back to stock after trying to update the fw. and now the swedish keyboard is gone. tried everything i can think of. would apreciate the help if possible.
the best thing would probably be to get the stock fw (pda,csc,phone) that u flash with odin... anyone with it ?
Have you try starting from JHA? Then JID.
Other think, chan you try to check if your country code is still the same?
*#272*yourIMEI#
Mine said KOR, I thought it was supposed to be XEU? But don't really know what it was originally.
I changed it to XEU, and it automatically did a factory reset of the device.
After, at least Samsung Apps License Agreement came in a scandinavian language
Still no new languages for keyboard input though, might be they were stripped in the flash? Or not at all in the firmware version.
I suspect it may be only in the HUGE hidden.rfs in the JJ3 firmware, but no idea how to get that back and never been able to flash JJ3 successfully.
same here.. it said kor.. now it's probably atleast one step closer to solving thins thing...
Guys KOR is Korean, so you have to change it to your country, but do a backup before because when u change it will do automatically the factory reset.
About the keyboard, do you have just one language or more?
i have 10 languages at keyboard.. nederlands, englishm french, german, italian, chinese kind of thing, polish, portugese, spanish, turkish,.. but no swedish

Same to me, with ITV product, I think it is firmware related.Why don't you try installing the one in the JH3 (extract it from the factory.fs)?
I changed again according to some table I found at samfirmware.com, where it said "CP" was scandinavian code - so mine is now set to "CPW".
I also tried extracting the Swype.apk from JH3 and installing that (mounted readwrite system partition), but it made my Swype crash constantly and upon reboot the original version was back in.
I've not really experimented much with replacing system packages though.
cant we get a clean dump from someone.. ? or is it not possible to do a dump ?

I have the same problem with Swedish keyboard disappearing after JM6.
Found a list of country codes over at Samfirmware called "samsung official letter code" where there are three-letter codes for a lot of countries.
CPW is listed as a code for the UK.
For Sweden the following codes are listed:
BAU = SWEDEN
BCN = SWEDEN
BME = SWEDEN
BSG = SWEDEN
BTH = SWEDEN
COV = SWEDEN
HTS = SWEDEN
SEN = SWEDEN
TET = SWEDEN
TLA = SWEDEN
XEE = SWEDEN
VDS = SWEDEN
TNO = SWEDEN
I am at work and donĀ“t have the Tab with me to try and see if any of the codes where listed on the *#272*yourIMEI# dialogue. Will try it later this evening.
Hm but KOR isn't even in that list, however XEU and CPW are listed as UK...
Norway is TEN, it's not available in the list on the phone.
what we probaly need is a original csc file.. for scandinavia...
It would be nice if we could solve this, I really miss the samsung keyboard and swype.

This wont get solved in the near future, we are an minority.
