Hello,
I'm new here, but I have surfed through the fourm alot before I joined, seems really helpful.
I have one quick question with upgrading.
I have a Galaxy S i9000 Australia, I flashed my phone with the JVK firmwire without bootloaders.
I regretted flashing however, my phone isn't damaged yet, but when the offical Gingerbread is released, is it okay to flash from where I am? (Flash to JVB)
I don't have Download Mode since it was deactivated after the flash, but I will install if it's safe and I'm given a green light. (I don't want to mod my phone anymore after this)
Thanks and I will contribute to this fourm more
Also, after flashing to JVB, will Samsung Kies able to detect my firmwire version that way I can upgrade safely from Kies?

No Kies only detects correct branded product code firmware does not upgrade unofficial firmware .
Might be worth reading the OZ post on here as its more country and network specific .

I think to get official gingerbread you should reflash to your original network. How did updating to JVB break your download mode?
Quoting JJE - No Kies only detects correct branded product code firmware does not upgrade unofficial firmware .
I know that, but since the JVB is the legit and JVK is baseband on Kies, if I manually flash to that firmware, will Kies pick it up?
Quoting STE - I didn't flash to JVB just yet, JVK "Broke" my download mode somehow, I did install the non-bootloaders which I heard deactivates it.

No as neither tie in to correct phone codes as supplied with your phone that Kies needs to find matching firmware .The firmware you loaded is what's called stock that is its not a from Samsung delivery method .
Stock Samsung base firmware passed to the networks to brand etc . Network then uploads the firmware to Kies .
Kies then searches your phone for a matching product code hardware id and firmware id
PC xxxx OPUS hardware XXXX Opus Firmware 2.2.1
Stock does not match the codes so Kies has no upgrade for it .

Hi, is there anyway to flash my samsung galaxy to the rom version it came from factory or the latest from my operator (Vodafone - Portugal)?
With 64 posts you should know about searching for what you need before posting. Anyway, look here. They have stock ROMs.
Ian
Flash to your operators firmware rom yes if you kept a back up copy or can source a copy .
Basic factory default firmware rom non network branded again yes but its not the network one that came with the phone .

I updated my Galaxy to the latest rom version using kies with the registry hack, i still have the same product code.
Should just be able to do it though kies with the right product code
Even if i installed the rom 2.2.1 in my device and the operator only provides 2.2 version?

Update it via Kies .
Your provider has 2.2
Flash Eclair via Odin go to Kies update firmware and you have a new firmware to download your official providers 2.2 .

My phone is locked so Odin is out of question.
The default phones from Vodafone come with the following data:
PDA: I9000BUJM5
PHONE: I9000BUJM4
CSC: I9000GTCLJM4
Product Code:TCL
Can you help me build an xml file to use in kies registry patch?
HI! I'm a noob . I want to flash a custom froyo rom, im tired of waiting for official kies update. So I need the original firmware from samfirmware.com incase something goes wrong or i want to update via kies, the problem is i don't know witch one to download. I'm from Europe, Croatia, bought my phone in T-mobile, went to service store and removed sim lock.
This is what my phone says:
Firmware version
2.1-update 1
Basic version
I5800XXJG3
Kernel
2.6.29 root
Version number
ECLAIR.XXJG7
on samfirmware there is I5800XWJG3 and I5800XWJG7
official froyo rom was released in india a few days back.
you can download it from samfirmware and flash it with odin
firmware is i5801DDJP2
its not the point in the official froyo or any newer firmware. the point is my original eclair firmware, so when i need i can get back to ir
oh i misunderstood your question. sorry i have no idea about that
I5800XXJG7 is your firmware i think
To make sure: call to *#1234#. And look at pda

Yesterday I've updated mu phone soft, but the newest version KIES found was i9100XXKE4 - looks like it's not the newest one (should be WEK4, dated on 25.05.2011). Does anyone know why KIES didn't show newer version and when it will be availible for my phone?
Best Regards, Jack

When the phone provider or network upgrade the firmware you get the upgrade from Kies . Phones product code determines the firmware .
jje
I know it, but from what I know my phones wasn't from any phone carrier, it's a stock one, bought in a shop. Is it any way to determine is it stock phone (by serial number, by rom number) or bought from the carrier (mayby I'm wrong about it's origin)...
Answer is because KE4 is the latest available Polish firmware.
Ok, that should be an answer. But the question is, how long do You think it take Samsung to make latest rom availible for Poland?

Unknown... Nobody knows. TBH I'd use the standard "UK" or Europe one that is updated fastest on...
Ok, but how, if the KIES don't see any newer ones? If I change language in the phone, will it work? Are there any other options, that are recognized by KIES to determine my location, thus blocking newest software update? Some time ago I used KIES Registry editor when wanted to update my wife's Samsung Wave (S8500) to bada 1.2, but it was differernt (older) KIES and different system (bada).
Kies takes Product Code and a few other codes matches them to that specific firmware on the server for those codes .
I have never ever on SGS 1 or 2 managed to update firmware via Kies once stock rom flashed .

From the linked threat I can confirm, that my phone was unbranded - I had XKE2 and could update only to KE4. Looks like there is nothing more for me to do except: waiting for update via KIES or risk update by Odin. Tough choice for me...
I bought my Galaxy SL from Egypt; however, I've lost my original ROM. I've tried both I9003JPKD1 and I9003JPKE1 (Both are Arabic), yet kies still complains it can't update the version. I've problems with these 2 ROMs. The perfromance is sluggish and the camera hangs a lot. I need to use Kies to update to the original firmware my phone came with. Is there anyway to do this?
Kies wont update the version as Samsung has not officially released any for this phone.
you will need to flash other ROM using the Odin and all info about that is already available just check the flashing guide and be careful as you might loose your warranty.

Yes, I flashed the only 2 Arabic firmwares available on samfirmware using Odin; however, it seems both of them were signed in KSA and not Egypt. Where can I find an Egyptian ROM?
I have the same problem here
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 I'm in italy.

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.
