can i use a I9000xwjp6 fw to debrand my o2 sgs and allow me to receive the 2.2.1 update through kies
You break your warranty by installing non standard rom .
Back up your O2 rom first .
Answer to your exact question is probably not as Kies will look for O2 firmware to update and you dont have it .so O2 will not update an O2 product code .
You would need to try via the Kies registry spoof thread method .
XWJS8 is 2.2.1 you can upgrade that via the rom kitchin easily .

ROM XWJS8 v9.9.5 WIPE rom back up all data as it wipes phone .
CSC XEU
Kernel Hardcores
Modem JPY
Apps tweaks boot animations and sound as you want .
Confirmed working on O2 network UK .
Guess O2 are not updating to 2.2.1 but waiting for 2.3

sorry if this is the wrong place, but im on darkys rom and need to go to the orange uk 2.2 now how do i do this? is this simply going through kies, or is there a download i can put into odin?
Kies will probably reject update as its Darkys rom .
You may be able to spoof update using Kies Registry Patcher from xda themes .
If you have saved your original Orange rom that can be flashed via Odin .
Otherwise it would be a downgrade and wipe to Eclair via Odin and hope that Kies will then pick up the Orange update .

If you want branded network firmware as came with your phone you will have to find an individual with a saved rom . Or install via Odin the Samsung Generic unbranded firmware from Samfirmware.com . But that is unbranded .
Possible other route is to flash to Eclair and hope for branded network update via Kies .

Hi
i have recently purchased an i9000 from the UK it came loaded with Darky's Rom 7.0.
I would like to use it in canada with a stock firmware. How can i restore it to stock firmware so i can also update the phone via kies to the latest stock firmware ?
which firmware should i use and what is exactly procedure ? can i use I9000XXJVK 2.3.3 can i root it ?
Currently kies is telling it cannot update the firmware.
Kies can only update legitimate firmware .
Gingerbread 2.3 is not yet released .
The phones product code is tied to the firmware update so O2UK phone gets O2 UK update not Canada update .
As its for non Europe i would be installing a stock rom for that area from samsungfirmwares .com as you require a modem to work in Canada .
North American threads on the forum may help if any .
Alternative would be to use Kies Registry Spoofing and spoof a clean phone to a Canada provider firmware .

Thanks for the reply
So there is no way i can restore the phone to legitimate firmware? I dont mind to restore it to legitimate uk firmware. The samfirmware website list the latest 2.3.3 already.
If i cannot restore it to a legitimate firmware how can i get back to a stock firmware from darky 7.0?

Legitimate firmware that came with the phone can be restored if you saved it .
Flash stock from samsungfirmware through Odin pit 512 and repartition checked .
2.3.3 has not yet been released by Samsung so do not install .

No i didnt saved it. I got the i9000 with darkys 7.0 version. Will go to stock firmware no other option. Darkys custom rom drains to much battery tried all the 10000 suggestions.
Thanks m8 for ur help.

Odin flash a stock rom with appropriate modem.. root with a kernal of your choice.. im pretty sure you can change the product code.. search for it on xda..
Before flashing.. make sure all lagfixes are disabled if any..
All the best

How do i get back to this or a version below it I just need an orange stock rom to flash to and how do i do it?
You saved your original firmware ???
Then flash it back .
No then you need to find someone that did save it .
Or try flash older version of current stock firmware via Odin .
Use spoof fw to try and spoof Kies into an up to-date Orange firmware .

The latest version according to KIES for my O2U firmware Galaxy S2 is KE2...
Why have they not done a KF2!?
I know i can flash via odin but like i think i need to debrand my phone first.
i am also already rooted btw. any help on how to get the latest version without debranding my phone?
Anyone? :/
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Why should they KE2 is the latest release O2 have decided to release .You going to have to ask O2 why .
Dont know why you are bothered about debranding as rooting has voided your warranty anyway .
O2 branded as it says on the tin latest KE2 .
You want later firmware then it removes branding is stock not O2 firmware .

I was on the stock O2 ROM until recently the same as you and decided I've had enough waiting so installed a custom ROM, Smaberg's Touch X-Treme which is perfect. Forget staying on the O2 ROM and flash away, if you have to, just put a stock ROM on and change your CSC code then you can keep up to date with Kies. Easiest way would be Chainfire's root and CWM if you haven't already got it and install a custom ROM via zip which avoids using ODIN all the time.
