[Q] HELP - Firmware upgrade

My Galaxy TAB is running P1000XXJID
I tried to do an upgrade using Odin but it failed. I guess I must be missing something.
Can someone point me to a step by step guide for dummies on how to upgrade the ROM?
Thanks in advance.

You will need to download a FULL firmware like JJ4 which has everything you need, including PIT file needed. Using Odin, select the PIT, CSC, Modem and Phone in there appropriate slots, select all areas, repartition, auto reboot, reset time and go. Then for non FULL firmwares, like JK1, you can just update the one area, without repartition.
This is how I did it anyway.....

Files
Which is which?
In the folder for JJ4 I have CSC, ALL, MODEM and pit.
is MODEM == Phone
and ALL == PDA?

What is the benefit of flashing the new rom?

can we upgrade straight from JID to JK1, without flashing it 1st to JJ4?

Firmware: I9000XXJPX decrypted

just tested, it looks fine to me.
i flashed it with odin as pda file, no pit (i previously used 20100512 for XXJPU), no repartition.

what files are included? pda modem and csc?

It's just one .tar package with everything dude, just flash it as pda with odin.

Galaxy s original firmware

Hello everyone! Im new to android as the galaxy s2 is the first android phone I have.. Since i bought it and my wife saw it, she wanted an android phone also.
We bought her a used galaxy s (gt i9000) and to my knowledge it seems to have a unofficial rom (or something like that..) flashed. It has a program called "superuser" installed and the battery bar has % visible.. And also the lock screen seems to be a default android lock screen.. Anyway to flash an original samsung firmware to it? Ive used odin to flash the newest fw to my sg2 so maybe use that?
Hope you can help..

go to samfirmware.com , select a 2.3.3 or 2.2.1 firmware.
If the package is only a .tar file , use it in PDA and dont select .PIT and untick repartition box.
If the package has three files like PDA, CSC, PHONE, use .512 PIT and tick repartition.
hope this helps. also, there are a bunch of videos on youtube.com on how to flash galaxy I9000

this thread holds all the stock roms with some instructions for installation.
[REF] Stock Firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 series - Download Only

I would do a complete factory reset by entering these characters into the phone dialler
*2767*3855#
Then I would get a 3 file download of Android 2.2.1 and recommended PIT from Samfirmware and install using Odin and Re-Partition option.
When firmware is installed and phone has booted, do another factory reset.
This way the phone has a new firmware and is completely wiped.

Rolling back Software

Hi,
i Currently have Andriod 2.3.3 on My Phone with CF-Root on with Also Installed ClockWorkMod.
I Plan on Rolling back to 2.2.1 to test something
If I Spoofed the Device using spoofw and Choosed a Different device Code and re-flashed with Kies.
Would This Work without any issues?

If you want official Froyo 2.2.1 for UK then flash XXJPY.
Flash with no pit and no re-partition after disabling any lagfix if enabled...and you will be fine.

Good luck
XXJVO is the official 2.3.3 for UK, it's there too.
You needed a Foryo for your phone, I suggested the Froyo firmware according to your need.

Remember to use a firmware with a boot image prior gingerbread. I don't know exactly which one to use though. Maybe someone else can answer.

Heimdall Firmware Package

Does there exist a Heimdall Firmware Package for the 9100?
I have the US AT&T phone, but I'd put any language into it at this point.

Hi,
U can use download the roms.
extract the files.
use the latest Heimdall to install the rom.
No need for packages.
Just read the readme doc and guide before using Heimdall.
Also first install the driver for your phone, and extract and download the pit file of your phone.
Then use the pit file to install the files from the rom.
Hope this helps.

Hi, please help! All the firmwares for galaxy s2 I have downloaded don't have a PIT included in the tar. I have downloaded them from this site both from the branded firmwares and the unbranded ones. Where do I get the PIT?
Thanks.

NEVER use a pit file PERIOD

Thanks for your reply. How do I get heimdall to flash without the PIT? Everything I have read says you need to browse for that in order to flash if you don't have a heimdall package.

First question before this post is moved is why do you want to flash via Heimdall .
Why not just flash using ODIN .

In my case: Because it means I have to reboot into windows just for that. Everything else is on Linux.

you can use heimdal to extract the current pit from your phone, save the file on your pc and use it for flashing kernels & stuff.
