I am on UK Galaxy S and wish to go back to an original firmware for the moment through KIES. I have tried flashing various firmwares through ODIN to then have KIES that the firmware is not updatable
I have the latest KIES - please can some one tell me which firmware to flash back to using ODIN and the connect through KIES - thanks
You may be better off using the spoof tool.
To spoof I need to be rooted and busy box - what is the best method?
Kies only reads official firmware and will not read stock firmware in regards to update .
Spoof firmware best bet as looks like you are one of the 99.99% that does not backup before modding .

I've flashed jm1 via odin then upgraded to jpy via kies numerous times, so that's not quite true
@jamiec902
Go to samfirmware.com. Download jm1 firmware plus 512 pit file plus the flashing instructions.follow their excellent guide to the letter to flash jm1 via odin. You will then be able to upgrade to jpy via kies. You will lose the 3 button reset as jm1 messes the bootloader, the solution to this can be found elsewhere on this site. Best of luck

Flash XWJS7 XEE via Odin. Kies will then detect and update to XWJVB XEE. Worked for me.

Flash JPY using Odin, use pit and re-partition if you like: Download (Double-click to extract).
The firmware does not include bootloaders and will not mess your phone. This is the latest firmware for UK.
The best method is downloading the official firmware using Check Fus Downloader as I did. You can find it in "Themes and Apps" section.
Simply, you have to remember your old firmware number e.g I9000ADJM1
I have Samsung Galaxy S on O2 UK, my firmware for Eclair was :
I9000ADJM1/I9000O2UJM1/I9000ADJM1/I9000ADJM1
after you download the program, go to that directory and type
Code:
CheckFusDownloader.exe -c I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3 XEU
XEU is the CSC for your old firmware.
of course you should change numbers to your firmware
it will check the latest firmware which is froyo. replace the option "-c" with "-dl" to download the firmware.
if you need help PM me.
P.S: there are missing steps needed to carry on the method, you can find it in the thread mentioned above.

I'm looking to downgrade from JM2 as it cannot connect to KIES using the JM2 firmware from samsung firmwares. The site is now buggered so I can't use it! Does anyone have alternative links for ODIN and a firmware such as JF3?
there was a topic here showing people how to use partial KIES only to flash any firmware you want
i can't remember the tittle of the topic
Hello,
i have Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile

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
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 .
jje
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?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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 .
jje
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.

Btw why should i not install the 2.3.3 version. I had it already installed. Any trouble ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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

So, my wife has Eclair on her T-mobile branded phone. Is it safe to upgrade to Froyo via Odin since mobile is branded?
I have Galaxy S and I am familiar with upgrading and custom ROMs via Odin, I just want to know is it simple to upgrade it via Odin as on mine Galaxy S? I will download the latest Froyo from samfirmware page.
Or should I somehow debrand my wife's phone before upgrade?
Thanks.
No problem to flash it via Odin, branded/unbranded doesn't matter.
You can even choose between branded and unbranded ROMs if you want.^^
If you still need information about Odin (in combination with the SG3) you can find everything in the development-section.
Thank you for your answer. Regarding Odin it is pretty much clear. Similar as for mine Galaxy S but with different files and different Odin version.
It's save...
But becarefull, because the latest rom from samfimware it has boot.img problem. it will cause your phone "hard brick"
Just see it in developer selection for save flash rom

You can but it's harder than flashing via odin. Odin just need less than a minute
You must use Odin.
Kies does not support Galaxy y
Thanks all you guys for help!
I will try odin
Ancie
I cant do with odin. I have downloaded Odin3 V3.09, official firmware from sammobile "S5360_XXMC2_OXFMC1_XXMC2", all drivers are installed correctly but when i put the S5360_XXMC2_OXFMC1_XXMC2 file into "AP" it odin stuck at "Leave CS.." . I have tried older odin (3.07, 1.85, 1.84) Same problem again. Tried on different usb ports/computer and nothing. Where can i download the original firmware (3 files "csc-modem-pda" not 1 as sammobile firmwares) for my GT-S5360 ?
