I just received my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 today and am using it as I charge it. I dialed *#1234# to see that I have the following firmware:
PDA: I9000XXJF3
Phone: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000OXAJF3
Can someone please tell me which firmware I should be upgrading to so that I have the most recent and least laggy firmware.
Cheers
What does Kies offer you with firmware update?
Kies does not let me do an update, possibly because of my region, I'm unsure. I live in New Zealand
JM1 official seems like a good one to go for, you may with some tweaking be able to get Kies to update. See this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7807299#post7807299
So i used the ctrl+alt+u+p trick and it attempted to upgrade to JM1 but was unable to and gave me the error failed to convert to upgrade mode. do I need to boot my phone into some sort of upgrade mode or something?
I've been trying for 2 days to update to JM1, as kies said the firmware update was available for my phone.
I finally solved the "failed to convert to update mode" problem.
Basically, from what I spotted after installing and uninstalling kies a few times is that all the drivers for the phone install (modem, mass storage etc), except "usb composite device" maybe they forgot to bundle that specific drive in with kies?
Go here, download these drivers and install them. It will say they're already installed, but go ahead and install over the top.

Solved my headache!
Hi im new to these forums as i have just bought a galaxy s second hand,
anyways the problem is when i connect it to kies to try and update the firmware it says the current firmware is: blank <as in nothing>
tried kies 1.5 and 2.0 same thing it picks up the phone but wont pick up the firmware,
im guessing somethings been done to this phone, all i want is the stock firmware and to be able to update in the future, nothing fancy. please help.
Find what version your stock firmware is and flash it with odin. You can download the firmware from samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i dont know if this helps but it says
pda: i9000xxjpo
phone: i9000xxjpp
csc: unknown
build info: 2010, 10
firmware version
2.2
baseband version
i9000xxjpp
kernel

froyo.xxjpo
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
Stock firmware = basic unbranded unaltered firmware as supplied by Samsung .
Network firmware is above plus any network branding plus add on that the network have added .
So you have stock firmware .
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
No if you use Kies it will look for the phones product code to update product code is tied to seller/network of original phone .
What is your product code .
Question has to be what do you want on your phone re firmware and are you willing to use flashing methods or not .
jje
thanks for the reply,
now how do i find the product code?
from what i know about the phone is that it used to be on vodaphone and is now sim free, the guy who sold it to me told me he had 2.3 on there but reverted it before selling, i dont see how he managed to do this using kies?
what i would like is to be able to update it through kies to 2.2.1 which is what my gf has on her phone, and make it readable for future updates, if i have to use flashing methods to achieve this then so be it, or is there another way if i can get the product code?

Enter *2767*4387264636# in your dialer.
Then there will be a line that says:
[2] PCode:"your phone model type"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+Registry+Patcher
You are best to try above and see how you get on .
As its non stock firmware you may need to spoof the product details etc .
If the download of the firmware works take the opportunity to save the rom as in instructions .
jje
pcode: gt-i9000hkaxee
There is no such sales-code, just flash to the latest JPY and you are set..the phone you have has been flashed to Nordic firmware sales-code XEE at some point, the sales-code for Voda is GT-I9000HKDVOD or GT-I9000HKAVOD.
After flashing enter in phone-dialer the following: *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and choose XEU.
9000 [Sweden] = GT-I9000HKAXEE
Product code for Sweden.

ok this is disappointing news, i am sorry i am really new to all this, but does this mean il never be able to update through kies, and will need to keep flashing to update the phone?
do i still try the kies registry patcher thing or forget about it?
Are you swedish in sweden or where what product firmware do you want .

Ofcourse you can use kies in the future, but after you have corrected the sales-code. You might be able to do it now, just enter *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and try to see if you can choose XEU.
i am from the uk london to be exact, and i just wanted the latest kies firmware, like my gf has 2.2.1 i will try the code you gave me now and post back
ok i tried that with the imei and it said rejected

Check the IMEI number under Settings>About phone>Status , see if it is correct. You must enter the number without slashes or spaces.

The latest Kies firmware for your phone is Swedish .
Kies reads your phone and servers sees Swedish product code and wrong firmware so it does not proceed .
Choice is one use Odin and put the latest stock non network Firmware on phone
problem will be its not going to update in the future via Kies as Kies will be trying to update the firmware thats Swedish .
two change your product code
three use Kies registry patcher to spoof your phone to a UK branded phone
same as one you wil not get a further update but need to spoof again .
Example current )2 uk firmware with very little branding/ad ons by O2 .

Firmware may need downgrading via Odin to Eclair for this update to work .

hmm strange the imei under status is different to the one on the box i will try that now,
and the more complicated thing if it does not work lol

He did state that the phone was on vodaphone, GT-I9000HKDO2U is an O2 sales code, I did suggest XEU because vodaphone codes are GT-I9000HKAVOD or GT-I9000HKDVOD, in this case he has GT-I9000HKAXXX, and while changing the sales code only the last three letters would change. If he does change that to O2 code then it will change to GT-I9000HKAO2U then keis will not recognize the phone again, because there is no such sales-code.

My friend, download JPY from here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2 Extracting code is samfirmware.com
Flash using odin 1.7 : http://www.multiupload.com/JMBJGDN00I
Load the extracted tar file in odin as PDA and flash, after that enter the recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Use the images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 as reference if you did not use odin before, but you must start odin, load the tar file as PDA and then put the phone on download phone before connecting the phone and flashing.
Entering download mode is by pressing and holding Volume down key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to download mode.
Entering recovery mode is by pressing and Volume up key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to recovery mode, navigate using Volume op/down keys and select using Home key.
Good luck..
Hi,
I just installed kies today and got a message that my tab (p7510) has not an official firware and cannot be updated. I bought the tab in canada and live in germany.
Afterwards I used odin to flash xwkg7 (only pda, not bootloader).
Since then Kies does not show the current firmware anymore. The field is blank.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Klaus
I have the same problem.
I found the solution by myself.
I just flashed with odin "PDA". This caused that /system is overwritten, which is good. However, I did not install "CSC" which is usually also copied to /system. As a matter of fact, I didn´t have the csc stuff and this caused Kies to freak out.
Solution:
Use odin to flash PDA *and* CSC at the same time!
Never ever flash PDA alone, because then your csc files are gone.
Hope this will help someone
However, now Kies tells me that I do not have an official firmware version on my tab and thus no updates through Kies are supported. Damn... Ideas?
Hello Klaus,
This I had already tried again and got the message as you've described. Who can help us.
Kies does not recognize the AT&T update on my AT&T I337. It says current firmware not supported. Here is a screen shoot of the Kies software.
I was surprised to see that. The update seems fine, and I moved a bunch of folders to my SD card. Love it.

I do not know what BTU means, but I will try the factory reset today 7/14/2013. I did a Kies backup yesterday in preparation for the factory reset.

Got the same problem and i fixed it.
I flashed in the past a BTU over a Branded firmware and i forgot to do a factory reset. Disconnect the phone from the pc and reboot your pc (if you just put out the cable and reconnect kies still shows the error. When i did that Kies reconized my device as BTU and now it says my firmware is the latest version.
I am not sure if you installed a BTU over a Branded firmware but this is the way to fix it.
Hello
I manage to build up a GT-I9505.
All the parts that I used are from defective devices purchased from Ebay (main board ; display etc)
At the first start the phone had a strange firmware installed and was in a factory mode.
I did a research on google and I manage to exit from the factory mode and also to flash a new firmware (I9505XXUBMF8).
The new firmware contained PDA/CSC/Modem/BOOTLOADER.
I use the phone since 2 or 3 weeks with no problemes.
But last days I found out that there is a newer firmware (I9505XXUBMGA) so I tried to update via OTA.
Unfortunately each time when I trie to update via OTA i get "network or server error please try later".
Also via Kies I got :
"your device's curent firmware is not supported to update firmware via Kies
current firmware version : PDA:MF8 / PHONE:MF8 / CSC:MF8 (XXX)
What can I do in this case?
The PDA/Modem/CSC seems to match.
From what I read on variuous forums this is all that matters on samsung phones to get updates via OTA & Kies.
Or also the IMEI needs to mach with the PDA/Modem/CSC?
In my case the IMEI is 0 but still the phone works on all the carriers from my country.
Any advice on how to get update work via Kies & OTA will be apreciated.
Thank you

Had the same problem when switching roms (Vodafone Dutch to DBT German) and fixed it.
1. Turn phone off
2. Do the 3 button combo (home button, volume up + power on)
3. CSC will be correctly installed.
4. Reboot phone and your pc
5. Check again
If that didn't work download the full rom and flash it with odin. That will fix it too
