Hi
Ive recently been gifted a T-mob samsung galaxy tab. I had a few questions about the same, would be very glad if someone could answer them for me
1) Is it possible to flash it with Indian/Asian firmware? I did some reading aand found out that flashing with euro firmware is possible, so this sould also be possible? If so, can someone point me as to where i might get more info on this?
2) Once flashed, and connected via Kies, if a new firmware of that region is released, would it automatically update to the new version or it will have to be done manually again?
3) Is it possible to flash back to original t-mob firmware should i need to avail warranty in the future?
you help is appreciated.

Flashing to Asian firmware is possible. I did it with Korean Firmware. However, it is useless in U.S. Market. If you are trying to flash it due to language, I would look for other solution rather than changing the whole rom.
2) Once flashed, and connected via Kies, if a new firmware of that region is released, would it automatically update to the new version or it will have to be done manually again?
Most likely it will need to be done manually.
3) Is it possible to flash back to original t-mob firmware should i need to avail warranty in the future?
Yes it is possible to flash back to T-mob firmware. Check Rotohammer's Roto backup process.

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

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.
So, my wife has Eclair on her T-mobile branded phone. Is it safe to upgrade to Froyo via Odin since mobile is branded?
I have Galaxy S and I am familiar with upgrading and custom ROMs via Odin, I just want to know is it simple to upgrade it via Odin as on mine Galaxy S? I will download the latest Froyo from samfirmware page.
Or should I somehow debrand my wife's phone before upgrade?
Thanks.
No problem to flash it via Odin, branded/unbranded doesn't matter.
You can even choose between branded and unbranded ROMs if you want.^^
If you still need information about Odin (in combination with the SG3) you can find everything in the development-section.
Thank you for your answer. Regarding Odin it is pretty much clear. Similar as for mine Galaxy S but with different files and different Odin version.
It's save...
But becarefull, because the latest rom from samfimware it has boot.img problem. it will cause your phone "hard brick"
Just see it in developer selection for save flash rom

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

Hi all,
I'm wanting to upgrade my modem, though need some assistance.
I'm on an Australian purchased Samsung Galaxy S5 - modem sm-g900i.
My current baseband/modem is G900IDVU1CPL1.
My understanding is that there are 2 ways to upgrade a modem
1 by flashing an entire firmware - so as my phone is unbranded, I'd have to do something like factory wipe
and flash the latest samsung firmware at
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900I/XSA/ then re-factory wipe and install my lineageos.
Or
2 by obtaining the actual modem files and flashing them manually.
- If I was able to obtain these modem files - would I be able to flash them manually within my TWRP bootloader?
- If I am able to flash the modem from TWRP can I back my existing one first and restore it quite easily if this fails?
The reason for wanting to flash my modem is to see whether it makes an impact on battery and performance.
As I'm currently using Lineage OS I'd prefer to use option 2 if this is possible.
I also don't have a PC at home with ODIN (as I have a mac here) therefore I'm hoping to avoid an answer that refers me to Odin (though can get my hand on one if necessary).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Just hoping to bump this one. I'm hoping I've typed it in the correct forum.
Just want to know whether and how I can update my modem on my Samsung S5 within twrp.
Thanks.

get anywhere with this ?
Hey guys, I have a Samsung S8 which I was running LinageOS on but now was to revert back to the stock android ROM.
The issue I have is it appears to be a South Koera (KTC) phone, but it always has this KTMobile crap on it when I flash it. So my question is can I flash another firmware?
I need some help understanding the different components made up in the firmware and what I can and cannot deviate from (to avoid bricking).
AP
CSC
BL
CP
Which of these HAVE to be the same? Im guessing bootloader (BL) must match otherwise I will brick it.
There is also a little confusion over weather it is a SM-G950F or a SM-G950N. I have seen the phone report both.
Is there a way or a firmware I can flash without all the KTMobile crap on it, or could I just flash a New Zealand firmware as I am based in New Zealand.
The firmware I installed currently is G950NKSU5DUA2, but it is buggy and is causing crashes. Can I deviate from this G950NKSU5DUA2 and chose a different firmware?
Thanks in advance.
