[Q] I9000 revert to official EUR ROM

Hi to all,
I'd like to revert my rom to an official one (froyo 2.2.1) and let kies update to the latest revision.
I founded tutorials on how to flash the rom, I now need the correct official rom for my GT I9000 so kies will recognize it and permit updates.
the product code is:
GT-I9000HKDEUR
actual firmware is:
PDA : I9000RSJP5
PHONE : I9000XJPP
CSC : I9000ITVJP3
I do not remember the original firmware letter codes so I need to reconstruct it; as I can see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14273114&postcount=2
as I can see there I think I can flash with:
XWJSD/XXJPY/OXXJS6/Sbl
XWJS8/XXJPY/OXXJS5
XWJS5/XXJPY/OXXJS4
Can somebody point me to the correct one?

I mean since you want to downgrade to your original firmware you have to tell us in which country you live in you know there are different firmwares for different regions. there is no 'europe' version as such.

Ok then i would recommend XWJS8 to you. you can find it in the thread you mentioned above.

No, unfortunately everyone above is mistaken. Your phone is Greek, (EUR is Greece, not Europe, as you might think). And more bad news for you, there is no 2.2.1 firmware for Greece, Samsung never released it. They are waiting for 2.3.3 any day now, however. The official firmware for your phone is XWJPH, 2.2. I will post a link when I get to my pc...

EDIT: Here you are... http://www.multiupload.com/AS2RWUE64Z. Wipe your phone with a factory reset, then flash this on top with Odin without repartition. You will then have the official version for your phone.
I'm not sure why you would want to do that, however...

what is the latest ROM version for SGS?

as far as i understood he just wants to get gingerbread via kies. and if he is in italy, the product code doesnt matter at all, only thing that matters is his previous firmware. and with js8 he should get an offer from kies for gingerbread as it is officially available for italy. http://asf-mobiles.com/2011/06/samsung-releases-android-gingerbread-italy-for-galaxy-s/
please correct me if im wrong i actually never used kies.

Yes, unfortunately I do have to correct you, sorry, you are wrong
Kies will not recognise the JS8 firmware because the italian rom will not match his greek product code. If he puts JS8 on, Kies will just tell him that "This firmware cannot be updated".
The only solution, if the OP's problem is staying under warranty and using Kies, is to flash the firmware that corresponds to his product code, which is the one I provided above.
Anything else will involve messing with the /efs folder to completely change the product code, but there is no point in doing that, as the IMEI of the phone will still betray its origins.
Actually I personally don't see the point in going back to an old Froyo build just to be able to upgrade via Kies, when Odin will give you the exact same result, and you can actually flash a newer and better ROM, which has not been given to Greece by Samsung, for whatever reason.
But in order to properly use Kies to officially upgrade, my previous post stands
-----
Of course, if you don't care about where the phone came from and all that warranty stuff and you only want to get it to upgrade via Kies, you can always change the sales code to ITV, by pressing phone and typing *#272*IMEI# (where IMEI is your phone's IMEI number, found by typing *#06#, or on the phone itself (under the battery)). Then choose ITV, and press Install. The phone will reset to factory defaults, you will lose your apps, but then you will be able to upgrade to the latest Italian Gingerbread with Kies, which for you will be RSJV3.

Maybe because Greece hasn't paid Samsung....

You're hilarious

Argh!!!!!
as Tyxerakias said the XWJS8 will not result updatable with kies.
the rom suggested by Tyxerakias, result in kies as the latest for the phone, but was unusable.
lot of process (like "android.process.acore") died unexpected and the phone was not usable.
I returned to XWJS8 but is not the solution I wanted.

Unbranded Norwegian rom/modem/csc/kernel

I have an unlocked norwegian SGS II that I have installed custom rom on. But I forgot to keep track on what original firmware there should be in this phone.
Would be nice to know which rom/modem/csc/kernel I should have to make this telephone back to stock. (in case of warranty etc)
Also is the csc available to be flashed into the roms I use (villainrom 2.4.2)?

The most recent official stock Norwegian firmware was KF3, CSC was either XEE or NEE (can't remember which, but from previous experience there seems to be no difference).
You can always install an older stock ROM - f.ex KE2 or KE7 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
- then you can connect to Kies and you should get an update notification/installation automatically deppending on how you've configured it.
If you get into trouble - and you shouldn't! - I've got a backup of KF3 at home I think, I'll check it out later. Send me a PM if you want the files.

Maybe you should look in the firmware thread.

As far as I am aware there is only one version of the Galaxy S II on the market in Norway (unbranded). It has product code GT-I9100LKANEE and the latest official firmware is I9100XWKF3/I9100OXXKF1/I9100XXKE7/I9100XWKF3.
Go to http://fus.nanzen.se and you will be able to easily download this (or any other) firmware from Samsung's update servers.

Swap FW for official one [BRAZIL]

So i've got an Galaxy SII here in Brazil, it's from Claro and strangely has the HKE2 BASEBAND, HKE4 Kernel.
I read somewhere that 2.3.4 was already avaliable if you had Sammy's retail FW, not Claro's modded crap.
By the time i got home to download it all the post had been removed so i missed the opportunity.
If anyone could point me in the right direction i'd be damn happy!
As far as my knowledge goes i remember reading that swapping from this "custom" to the official would not violate EULA nor my warranty, and that i'd be able to do it without having to root the phone.

Go to the development section, there is a thread by, Intarech (spelling may be wrong) that thread contains what you are looking for.

TY for the directions.
And a bonus here, i just found out i have a franken-phone.
Checking the Carrier-specific firmwares i bumped into some trouble lol.
My phone is from Brazilian's Claro BUT build is technically a Chillean version.
Check this out:
PDA: UHKE4 is Chile-based
PHONE: UHKE2, well, ok.
Now here's the interesting bit, the CSC is ZTAKE2 wich is NOT LISTED ANYWHERE!
Will i have trouble if i flash this one below?

I was using it, found no issues at all.
You can also try flashing UHKG7 from http://www.samfirmware.com to get Android 2.3.4
(Even more strange is that the page says it's from Brazil, but SamFIT says it's from Chile too.)
EDIT:
This is the same FW from samfirmware

Any special difference from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4?
'Cause i'm looking forward at 2.3.6 already

I've found some minor UI tweaks so far, nothing major.
About 2.3.6 I think it will take a while to arrive at stock roms, maybe sooner with CM7 or MIUI only.

Updated successfully!
No issues whatsoever!
tyvm dandroid13!

So...
No problems whatsoever with 2.3.4?
No 3g data on/off problems on UHKG4 modem? I read that some guys were having some issues on getting 3g data back on after losing signal for whatever reason.
Can you confirm that everything works fine?
I just got an SGS II from Claro and I´m thinking of flashing it with this ROM to get rid of all that Claro crap (and get some original stuff back, like GTalk).
Can you hint me with the specific thread on how to flash SGS II with this ROM?
Thanks a lot.

So, the UHKE4 rom i flashed as avaliable from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 (manual included there) is a 2.3.3.
Again, mine was bought THE DAY AFTER it was released here in Brazil, in late June so it has the hw version from Chile.
Aside from that it's all fine and dandy!

The major difference from the 2.3.4 FW is that you don't get Folha and Livraria Cultura apps.

[Q] Unavailable stock SBF version

Hey there, new to the Android scene.
Just about to flash my Defy with CM7.1 however first a concern:
My system version is 34.145.18.MB525.TNZ.en.NZ, build number 3.4.2-145 version 2.2.2. Running on 2degrees network in New Zealand but it's primarily a Telecom NZ network phone.
When I match the build number with the table at (and-developers dot com/sbf:defy damn new user link restriction) I get
"Australia Optus JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2-145 900 / 2100 N/A not mirrored".
This concerns me because a) it's not my carrier's ROM and b) it's not mirrored
IF I was to flash my defy with CM7.1 and needed a factory recover for warranty, would I even be able to do the recover in the first place and if so, would the store be able to see I flashed a custom firmware because I'm running a version other than 34.145.18.MB525.TNZ.en.NZ?
Is there any way I can make my own full/fixed SBF of the current firmware?
Cheers, thought it's better to be safe than sorry.

No ideas? I really would like to get off 2.2...

How have you got on with this, im running the same telecom system version as you and want to flash to cm7, im pretty new to all this.

I haven't done it yet. Was hoping to get a response so that I could go forth but I'm not willing to do so without knowing that I can get back to the stock TNZ firmware if I need to warranty.

[Q] Change the stock ROM

Hello everyone,
I am in need of information and I'd like to ask for your expertise.
I have purchased a I9500 from a Chinese store (where I live). As I didn't want any Chinese ROM (no google apps), I purchased a so called "oversea version". They sold it to me as from Hong Kong (which is fine because they don't have the same restrictions).
My phone, unfortunately, has a few hick up :
- every single reboot, the phone is asking me wheter I want to use the touchwizz or simplify interface.
- it sometimes looses the wifi logins (need to re input the password)
- most annoying of all : I experience reboots on my phone while using camera of flashlight (50% of the time)
I have had a look around and saw that my stock ROM (XXUAMDK) wasn't the latest version. So after further digging, I considered to change it. At that stage only, I realized the phone is meant to be from Egypt (at least the ROM installed).
EGY
AP : I9500XXUAMDK
CP : I9500XXUAMDK
CSC : I9500OJVAMDK
I few upgrades of the ROM that seems to have fix the issues, but none of them have same "CP" or "CSC".
Can you recommend a version I should / can upgrade without any worries ?
Ideally, Asian ROM or Europe ROM
Which flashing method would you suggest ?
I could go with a rooted one or stock one (as long as the rooted one still gets the OTA).
I look forward to reading your helpful suggestions.
