I've seen in other threads that Kies will sometimes ask you to upgrade the firmware. What ROM version will I need to flash to get Kies to ask me this? I am hoping that this will get me the official norwegian FW back on my tab. It is apparently impossible to get this anywhere.
Hello All,
It seems Ive flashed the wrong firmware on my i9000m, the 3 button download mode stopped worked but I got a USB jig & now I can get back into download mode.
I re-partitioned & flashed all three PDA, Modem & CSC in Odin.
Before I try again i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the files I need, preferably files that wouldn't cause Samsung to question the validity of my warranty if I have to send it back in.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

here is the stock firmware list
Does anyone know what the original firmware code is for an i9000m from bell in Canada?
JL2 is that latest official Bell i9000m firmware.
This is the JL2 ROM I got from Kies when it updated my phone.

Hi Guys,
Ive searched the forum, to no avail...
I would like to flash my Apollo with FroYo, but for safety's sake im trying to find a copy of my original firmware so I can flash it back and use KIES if needed.
If I type in *#1234# I get:
PDA I5800XXJG7
Phone I5800XXJG3
CSC I5800XXJG5
Does any kind person have the relevant files handy for upload please?
Also, If I flash a new firmware should they all match the original (ie the I5800XX part).
Thanks for your help
I posted the same question a week ago. I didn't get a straight answer. I had the same firmware before i flashed to XXJPM. Your firmware is XXJG7, but I didn't find it on samfirmware. I found XWJG7, but I think that is not the same, because there is xxjpf and xwjpf - the first one being older. To update via kies when the official update comes u need an official firmware, XXJG7 is official since u got it with your phone, but u cant find it, can you? So you need any official firmware, but i don't know witch are official except XXJG7... Anyway don't bother with this, you can flash froyo without backup, i did it and nothing went wrong but be cautius and folow the steps closly and when the official update comes it will be avaliable to flash via odin. until then flash any non official froyo
I have this rom and am uploading it now its I5800XXJG3 - csc xxjg5 - phone xxjg5 - pda xxjg7 will post a link soon
here you go

Thanks
I see the numbers are slightly different, does it matter?
I have also read that flashing the bootloader can cause hard-brick issues, is it better not to flash the bootloader?
i did not flash the bootloader just to be on the safe side, not sure what the cl447760 & cl460190 mean all i tell you is kies see's this as the latest firmware for my phone the uk .
i got the phone three weeks aga at the carphone warehouse it is unbranded and unlocked
Thanks again for your help. I have now upgraded mine to the standard XXJPM FroYo with ODIN. Just out of interest, is there a way I could have got the old firmware off my phone into files like you uploaded?
i think you can dd them to the sd card but not sure how to do it , i googled for ages to find my that firmware on some random site because i did not like froyo after i flashed it
ive gone back to 2.1 until i can find a fix for icons not staying on the home screen from apps installed on the sd card after a reboot. other than that i was pleased with it.
Hi!
I flashed my P1000 Tab to Firmware 2.3.3 from Overcome before I sold it to a friend. He now wants to resell it on so I want to reflash it back to a standard Samsung ROM so they in turn can do updates in Kies etc.
What is the easiest way to do it - go back to a factory ROM?
I have had a look on Overcome and they say to go to the samfirmware site but I'm not sure which one I want as I seem to be going around in circles.
The tablet is in Australia so it would need to be a ROM for Australia.
Can someone point me in the right direction of what I need to do and where I get the ROM I need etc?
Thanks

Not sure where you'd find one but there were Roto backups of the Telstra ROM floating around somewhere. I don't think theres any ROM dumps for Optus (I've been looking for one for ages) anywhere, but you might be able to try using one of the stock Euro ROMs and see what Kies will do with that.
Remember, however that neither Telstra nor Optus ever released a Gingerbread update and are unlikely to at this point, so Kies probably won't be all that useful.
Hi
So I downloaded this files called P1000NUBJP7_UUBJP7_UBJP3, but now dunno what to do.
Do I install it via Odin somehow, the file above contains a PIT file and also a .rfs file which I guess is the firmware as it is 250Mb.
When I try and add the item for CSC and PDA in Odin there are none in that archive!
Thanks

Seems Hotfile went down so the links on Sammobile and the another post on the forum here are not working. Samsung-Updates doesn't have any MG1 firmwares at all, Koodo or otherwise. Cannot use Kies because it will just give me the new Knox-infected 4.3.
I don't need it immediately and may be able to wait for Sammobile to finish transferring their files to another host. Planning on flashing KangaKat 4.4 Google Edition so won't need the stock unless I need to use the warranty. Be nice to have though just in case.
Anyone know any other places to get firmwares?
Same Situation
I am also really in need of a MG1 firmware file for the i337m so I could return to stock. I've literally searched everywhere and I couldn't find it since Hotfile is shut down. Hopefully, someone has this file on their hard drive and could upload it. Thanks!
