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.

So, I have confirmed that the "sdcard" in my SGS is dead. Bell is happy to send it in for repair, but don't have an original Bell firmware on the phone anymore, and I'm concerned about warranty support.
The phone is unable to boot, so I can't use the Kies app at all.
I am able to flash no problem using Odin, but I don't have a source for an original Bell 2.1 ROM to use with Odin. All the stuff I can find has strange filenames (things that don't obviously go into the blanks in Odin).
I'm a relative noob (obviously), but if someone would give me a hand getting a 2.1 Bell FW flashed, I would really appreciate it.
go to sams firmware and download JH2
that's the original stock ROM for Bell
hey!
I am in need of these files too.
Could someone instruct this noobie on how to obtain these files?
My phone randomly softbricked after i listed to the music and i lost my recovery mode along with it (however, i got download still yay!)
I am somewhat familiar with Odin due to the youtube video and tampering with it, but i cant seem to locate the Bell vibrant files i need.
My computer is already updated with samsung drivers and is basically ready to go.

Hello,
i have Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile
and i want install Arabic firmware in to Galaxy Tab
and how i can unlock Galaxy Tab?

Hi,
Could you tell me where I can find arabic firmware
Thanks
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I've been searching this, and the only thing I could find was an official arabic region firmware off of samfirmware.com P1000JPJJ2 (if pass: samfirmware.com). You have to flash using Odin using this PIT P1 file and make sure you don't select RE-PARTITION. These are instructions from the samfirmware site (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm). I havn't tested it yet, because I'm waiting for Bell firmware to come in case I need something to fall back to.
I tried to upgrade the firmware to Arabic. however the installation failed and my phone is not booting now. how to boot the phone.Thanks
Can you re-trace your steps? Which firmware did you use? Did you check or uncheck Re-Partition? What pit file did you use?
The upgrade to the P1000JPJJ2 should only be done after having you device upgraded to P1000JPJJ1 then flash the P1000JPJJ2 & noting not selecting Re-Partition
Oh I see. Then that means that he will have to flash P1000XXJHA before as a prerequeist to P1000JPJJ1?

I did not have to do this -- I upgraded to P1000JPJJ1 with re-partition on -- then upgraded to the P1000JPJJ2 with "no-partition"
I used P1000 P1000JVJJ1 ## 816.PIT .
That's because this guy is probably on a later firmware and will need to downgrade to a suitable full firmware before he can update to an Arabic firmware. You have to remember, very few of the firmware packages available are full flashes and people are all on different device versions.

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
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.
for more information go here:

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
