As far as I'm aware, and someone should correct me if this is wrong, but Google hasn't made the original ROM files available to us yet. So unless someone made a NAND backup prior to flashing anything, you're out of luck for the time being.
You can download one straight from ROM manager.

ROM Manager has the 2.3 to 2.3.1 update, not the original rom as far as I'm aware.
Evenings!
My girlfriend recently purchased a Galaxy 3 and I've noticed its running android 2.1, when Samsung mobile shows its capable of 2.2. I'm interested in flashing one of the samfirmware roms but I'm completely new to the Samsung way of doing things (my own phone is a HTC Desire running oxygen 2.1.3) .
Kies doesn't offer any updates, so I know I'm going to need to do this a different way, but I'm not entirely sure which rom to go with.
The handsets current details are as follows:
PDA: I5800XXJG7
PHONE: I5800XXJG3
CSC: I5800XXJG5
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend XWJPF. It's good and stable. After flashing you can root and deodex phone and install some new theme

Hello
You can use my rom if you want. Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123
I am glad to help you if you find any problem.

Been having a look at custom roms and I'm definitely interested in your rom, but its my girlfriends phone just want to get her up to date for now
If she lets me play with it a bit further I will definitely start with your rom
If I'm sticking to stock roms, does it matter which one I go for? And is there anything I need to specifically do to avoid bricking the phone ?
I have the ops file and the update, I'll get the one suggested above also but I need to wipe and install using Odin in download mode? God this seems complicated.. lol

The only chance to brick your phone is using a samsung's rom with bootloaders (~1% chance for bricking). Using any custom rom, you will be fine. Try my rom. She will like it
The flashing process is only complicated the first time. With 3-4 flashes you will do it easily.

Will your rom flash alright over her firmware?

I gave her the choice and she wanted stock Samsung first, so I flashed jpm since a lot of custom roms seem to be based on that. Sorry dude!
If she changes her mind I'll choose yours first

So all right, I thought that when a newer version of Android came out and I am for example on CM10.1, I can update the android version and ROM by flashing a new bootloader and baseband, then flash the ROM and Gapps you want.
But today I read about someone who didn't accomplish to install a 4.2.2 ROM when he was on 4.2.1 so he installed factory image.
Can someone now please tell me what you need to do, so I am prepared when KLP arrives.
Thanks in advance!

Best advice I can give you is to learn fastboot. You can download images from Google once released and manually flash each thing that you want to update. You just unzip the files and fastboot flash them to your phone.

I think I am misunderstood.
I meant how to upgrade android version if going from a custom rom to another custom rom.
So for example CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 and going to Xenon HD Android 5.0
Thats possible right?

Most developers list instruction on how to install from different custom roms in the install method if they differ (example post#2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075444). If not, you could post in the thread of the custom rom to see if there are any special steps for that rom. I would advise reading through the first few posts of the custom rom to make double sure they didn't explain how to first.

1. Download new factory image
2. Flash bootloader and radio
3. Flash new custom ROM
4. Done
It's not that hard really

But I do have to flash factory image in fastboot? No other ways by just using CWM?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You don't, bootloader and radio should be enough, but you WILL need fastboot to get that bit done

There is a flashable zip for that. So I can just use CWM when upgrading ROMs?

I personally prefer to use fastboot but if there is a ZIP then you could try that...

Why do you prefer that even of you install the same file? But the answer on my question is that I can install a 5.0 ROM if I just flash the new bootloader and baseband?
Thank you for helping me!
Yes, as I answered that earlier
As for why I prefer fastboot - I always like to do everything manually. I then know I'VE done things right as an updater-script in a CWM ZIP file could be wrong/corrupt. It's a safety thing. Plus, once it's done it's done so I wouldn't have to do it again unless I wanted to downgrade Android to 4.x

But with CWM you also have to flash once I think? Because you dont flash it on a ROM, but before a ROM so the baseband and bootloader will last untill you install another I think?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Fastboot flashing is permanent - once flashed you don't have to do it again. A CWM ZIP can do the same but I, personally, DO NOT LIKE DOING IT THAT WAY. I don't know what else you want me to say?
Do what YOU want to do

Yeah but CM11 (or whatever it may be called) wont be ready as yes as Android 5.0 comes out, and I may use the stock ROM the first day it comes out, which I will flash in CWM so I wanted to know if I needed to do something else.
