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.

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.

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 To All Gurus,
I have a new Samsung GTab and planning to upgrade my firmware because the stock firmware always pop a message " Force Close " when I install any apps from Market.
My firmware is Stock I thinks it's a JPJK2, I buy this in Riyadh and I can use any sim so I think it's not lock to any provider.
I saw new firmware from SamFirmware which is P1000JPJM5 is this compatible to my GTab Arab version I may say?
I download Odin 1.7 from SamFirmware also and I saw PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC, I download P1000JPJM5 and PIT for Euro but I don't know if this can match to my device also if I don't have PHONE and CSC it's means my GTab will not work as normal phone or 3G if I don't have the PHONE and CSC file?
For those who can answer some of my question please try to guide me so I can start Rooting my GTab also I can upgrade my device.
I will appreciate more if you can explain it to me and URL link to all what I need to download for firmware upgrade will do a lot help for me also.
Thank you and Regards to all, more power to XDA and it's users.
Don't flash any JM roms from samsung! You will be stuck with a locked bootloader and not be able to use any open developed roms here.
Hi rangercaptain,
Then how can I root my GT?
I encounter a lot of Force Close thats why I'm planning to upgrade my Firmware.
Please advice me on where I need to start, TIA.
Regards,
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

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 own an i5800 wich I did flash with latest Kyrillos ROM.
Now I need to sell it, so I wanted to reset to its original firmware and I flashed to various Android 2.1 stock fw found on samfirware, in order to upgraded it with Kies.
Problem is that Kies always tells me
"this model can0t be upgraded"
I could flash it with a stock 2.2, but I wanted to let the future owner to use Kies to upgrade the phone.
Somwhere I read it is a problem of CSC and country so Kies does not recongise the availability of updates if check against CSC fails.
I am from Italy. How can I flash it to a correct fw/CSC ?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in adavance!
Hi
I'm not sure but I think it must be related to the "product code".
The only way to repair your product code is to manipulate the nv_data.bin file with a hex editor.

good luck
I don't remember where i have read that you'd better NOT flash back to Android 2.1 at random if you have a Android 2.2 on your device. It's will cause erro.
in your case, use ODIN
