Hi, So finally T-Mobile announced that JI6 built is the next update and since I'm not in US that's means that I won't get OTA update and I have to do it manually ! Anyway I downloaded the JI6 ROM from Samfirmware and everything is set but before flashing the ROM I have a question ! Does this ROM support Re-partition or not ?! Anybody successful in flashing this ROM without any problem ?! Thanks in advance..

Hi all.
I have a question about provider firmware. It is possible to find the Orange's provider firmware that is can be update on Kies for my I5801 ?
I looking on samfimrware.com but there is no firmware compatible for my phone.
Thx for aswers.
It is there is bvjp9 flash it via odin^^
Thx man
Send from my i5801 using xda premium
Sorry for double post...
But, you are sure that i can be able to update this firmware with Kies when i flash it ? Or i have no possibility to obtain an official firmware of Orange ?
I don't know, but you could try it out I have a i5801 too. and I'M NOT interested in updating with kies. kies is the crappiest programme on earth a friend of mine has destroyed his phone with kies (bada), and kies only makes troubles. simply flash firmwares with odin. If you don't flash a bootloader you can't brick anything. btw you could flahs custom roms too^^
have fun with your phone.
I know. I'm on the Kyrillos one actually (v4.1). Only if one day i want to back on official road ... Maybe
Well, thx for answers
haha... OK^^
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
megaupload.com/?d=OYHZW0WX
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.
hello
i have now the litening 1.5
and i didn't backed up my stock rom
there is a way to back to stock rom now ?
my phone from clove.uk
(i know that it might be at www.samfirmware.com but don't know what to search....)
thanks
and sorry for the newbie question
Just flash KF2 in odin again (presuming thats the firmware you were on before litening rom) and you will be back on stock firmware with all your apps and data in tact.
do u mean this one ?
I9100XXKF2 ## EXT4.PIT 2.3.3 2011 June MULTI - CSC - OXAKF2 ?
and how can i be sure that this was my firmware ?
as i said ... my phone from clove.co.uk bought it on 9/6/2011 if it help
Hi I've byen wondering the same thing.
I flashed my phone before taking notice or backup of anything and so haven't a clue which versions my phone came with.
It is great that all the stock stuff is available but does not help me much as I have no clue whether, whatever I flash will be the same as what the phone came with...
I suppose that it is too late to think about that and not possible to find out exactly which combinations the phone came with from emei or serial no. or something like that..
by the way
if my friend bought the galaxy s II from clove 2 weeks after i did
it should be same firmware ?
(he didn't root it and flashed it yet....
then he still with the stock rom , it can help me ?
You can flash back to KE7 stock. This has been available via the official KIES Samsung channel.
Check the Development forum for stock firmware:

XWKE7
Firmware info
PDA:XWKE7
PHONE: XXKE4
CSC:XEUKD1 (XEU)
Build date: 18/05/2011
Generic XEU: http://www.multiupload.com/IBRBHDUDXI
MD5: F388DB98FC83861C2F22E607AE940DBB
and how i can really know that this is what i had before i flashed the litening 1.5 ?
and what about the kernel ?
should i need to do something about it ?
At the end of the day I don't think it matters what firmware you go back to as they are all pretty much the same with no major changes. If you are in the UK then it probably came with KE7 as that is the latest official ROM for this area. Litening ROM 1.5 is based on KF2, so flashing stock KF2 won't do any damage.
Before flashing anything do a backup just in case, but if you flash any PDA in odin none of your data will be wiped.

Depends on how you want go about doing it, you can get an official ROM and flash it with Odin, or you can root it and flash with one of 2.3.6 zip with CWM.
Doing it via Odin will be easier, going the root method is longer but will give you better ROM options in the future and, probably somewhat easier to flash ROMs once you done it.
So which is it to be?

Hi Guys,
I had rooted and replaced my stock S4 rom with a custom ROM ,as the stock S4 ROM was really slow. But now, the stock S4 Lollipop update seems promising , so I want to switch back to my previous rom.
I just have one question . After switching back to stock ROM , will I continue to recieve OTA updates from Samsung, or would I require to keep on flashing the latest ROM's manually ???
Thank you , it will be of great help if someone can answer this.
