Firmware - XX, XW, JPF, JPM, JPN etc..

Hi Guys,
I assume that in the UK, we can use XW or XX, according to, for example this website http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-706422.html
Getting that out of the way, I assume that JPN is "newer" than both JPF, JPM and JPI
Is my logic correct? I gave up waiting for Samsung and KIES yesterday and just flashed JPN via ODIN. Can't believe I waited months, it's a vast improvement.

No. Both I5800XWJPF & I5800XWJPI are newer.
XX= East Europe
XW= West Europe

Hi kyrillos, How's Greece today!
Ah ok! But how do you know that for certain? Have you tried JPI then? I know you appear to be the best custom ROM chap out there but I'm not ready to make that jump yet

Emm today in Greece was a hot day
I didnt tried JPI yet, because i dont have time to

Much better than England I'm sure!
I5800XXJPQ is just released FYI
PS do you know this?
Do you know why the bootloaders "brick" phones sometimes?
People remove the bootloaders from the tar files to avoid this, but aren't they updated versions and required ever?
ta, B

Gave up on Samsung New Zealand yesterday.. been waiting for months as well.. flashed I5800XWJPF_XENJP1_XXJP4.. I have no regrets.. using it in conjunction with ADW launcher Ex pro.. very satisfied with this firmware up till now..

Bootloaders can brick, because if something were to happen while flashing the bootloader you probably wouldnt be able to boot or get into download mode and flash another rom (which you could do if anything else went wrong)

Guys how can U tell which version you run ?
Here's a SS of my device : URL not permitted yet .
In the 'Baseband' section says XXJP4 , but on the bottom it is XJPL .
I'm interested (and frankly new to all this , even though I got my phone 4 months ago) in Kyrillos rom and someone told me I need a specific firmware version to install it .

Is the stock JPM bug free? Like is it stable and does everything work properly i.e data,camera,player etc...
Please reply fast. I am new to flashing and I have thought of flashing this ROM. This would be my first ever.

[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.

Latest firmware on Kies

I've been away from the forum for a while and was hoping someone could tell me what the latest firmware is on Kies for UK phones. Don't feel like flashing my phone backwards just to find out.
Thanks

Lie! There's no Brazil update.
Had to flash using Odin, which I recommend.

I've been waiting for 2.3.4 XEU to be available on Kies so I can update to official firmware. But I was just thinking...why do I care if its XEU or not? I can flash an official update from another region and still switch the language to english. I am in USA on AT&T anyway so its not like even XEU matches my country.
Am I missing something here? Is there a reason it matters to be on XEU for Americans?

It can depend if your phone is branded as the carriers can block Kies updates! There are serious problems with builds before KF3 (eg wifi sharing bug) so it worth flashing to that version if your carrier is blocking Kies updates. I updated about two months ago via Kies to build KF3 (2.3.3). I am in the UK unbranded O2/car phone warehouse. I am waiting for this latest new update to arrive on my s2 via Kies.

I am unlocked/unbranded. I think I'm going to just flash another official 2.3.4 firmware from Intratech's thread and then when a UK version comes out, I'll just flash that. I'm being patient for no reason Now I just have to figure out which region's firmware to flash....

He has posted an XEU CSC version. Just used it myself. It's perfect.
Just look for it in the thread.
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKI1

Yep, KI4 includes english (US) I guess, so it shouldn't bother you.
I have to stick to UHKG7 because european roms don't include brazilian portuguese...

Why not use Odin, mate? Then you can have the latest fw version.

question: I wanted to check out if the new firmware is available in my country, so i just restored (from cwm) my original firmware (cf-root kernel), reflashed a original kf3 kernel.
But Kies message is "You cannot update this device type".
Did i forgot to restore something original? besides the "root" everything else (rom + kernel) is original.
Well np i go back to miui i dont rly care atm, but in future if icecream is released, i prolly want to try it and having a working kies makes it faster.
Any suggestion?

Seriously, man. Ice Cream will be melted loooong before it shows up on KIES. If/when it shows up and you want it sooner, you'll more than likely need to flash it via Odin. KIES is limited by carrier releases. My SII wouldn't update via KIES either. Odin is the standard around here for a reason. It's safer, and it allows you to try what YOU want when YOU want it. Not when your carrier and/or Samsung releases it.

[Q] When is the ICS update will be released ?

Hi, i returned my Razr and bought the NOTE for $500 unlocked brand new.
Anyways, it was 2.3.6 out of the box but whenever i check for update i find nothing and i am up to date. however, i have seen many people getting the ICS upgrade, why not me ?

(black) uae, (white) spain, and (pink) france... all are running open germany ics.. its a stock rom so its not going to take away your warranty... if you flash...just follow the directions and all will be fine... if youre unsure...ask before you flash...

if i flash it to the German ROM, will i be able to get OTA updates like i bought the phone NEW ? or i have to do everything manually ? and do i have to root my phone?

Bump ! please i need to know ASAP as i want to change the ROM of my Note...

Just upgraded from my trusty old Galaxy s i9000 (which I must have flashed over a 100 times in the last two years!) Only had the note a few days, with a Ballistic case I can almost use it with one hand lol!
I miss my ICS rooted phone, I will wait for the official update at least until the warranty to expires. I jumped in and did a plain root last night though, at least the market is open.......
Kies reports as PDA:KK2 / PHONE:KK1 / CSC:KK2 (TTT)

so do you think my stock ROM is good or the EU one is better ?

I flashed Open Europe LC1 GB and then ICS LPY, but with the bricking issues, im back to LC1 safely.

My experience, two galaxy's GT9000T One I rooted and flashed modded bricked and basically kicked the crap out of it......still works great, I gave it to my youngest daughter. My other one was left untouched, Kies still updates all the official roms on it and it to still works great, but no ICS...
With this warning....

req: official HC3.2 rom?

Hi all. Could someone point me to the official Samsung HC 3.2 file?
On Sammobile there are 3 listed, not sure which one is correct.
For a US 7510, wifi only.
Flashed to ICS, and while it's very nice oveall, a few quirks, so I want to flash back to 3.2 and see
what the OTA update brings.
Thanks!
ETA: Or post the correct file number so I know which one to d/l from sammobile
Thanks again.

Why in the hell would you want official hc when there is available official ics
The region does not matter at all.. It's the same software and hardware for everyone.. Gosh I don't know why people gets obseced about regions...
Wanna know something? I bought my tab in canada(north america) , I live in Venezuela south America and my tab its running official ics from Italy(europe) .. And guess what... It works the exact same way like every other tab in the world... And has the same exact features
