My current device info:
GT-P1000
PDA:JJ3
PHONE:JID
CSC:JJ2
Unbranded, stock firmware, rooted, but then unrooted. Bought in Norway.
Why can't I get JJ7 from samsung kies? It says I already have the latest version installed. There is supposed to be an upgrade for my device, right? Or is it only for UK tabs??
I can't wait to get the browser fixed, but I'm too scared to install JMC/D after those scary bootloaders jumped out from under the bed.

I really didn't have a clue either why kies won't pass the jk7 update through. though you're safe flashing at least jm6 following exactly the guide in the dev topic, this fw version won't pop them bootloaders up, and will fix most of your issues. If you're uncertain of flashing outside of kies, don't do it, hang around for a while on jj3 as samsung is planning a official update somewhere near coming weeks, as with the sgs after completing the roll out of the sns

Thank you for your reply.
But others already got this way back in november(?!) Did samsung pull it for some reason? Or is it all just bull? All I can find is a thread here on xda and another over at android forums mentioning the jj7.
Really wanna know too, i am in Denmark and is allso on jj3
In Belgium we're also still on jj3 and no updates available in kies.
On my Galaxy S at least I could change the country code to UK Generic (thanks to the registry hack) to get the update faster :-D

Bought mine in Norway too, still waiting for JJ7. One question, if you could please help me out: Can you connect your tab to Kies? Assuming you got the newest version of Kies. I can't, and I can't for the life of me fix it. Would be pretty annoyed if Samsung release a FW-update, and not being able to apply it cause of Kies-issues.
Edit: I can mount mass storage, and get access to it through USB, but I just can't get Kies to recognise the tab. It's no problem with my SGS.
Here in the UK the tabs from carphone warehouse (big phone retailer) have been updated but the Tesco (big supermarket) ones haven't

Guys, AFAIK it depends on the pre-installed Sales Code on your Tab. If you have a JJ3 CPW Tab (UK Carphone Warehouse) you will be offered JJ7 through Kies, if not it seems you won't. There are ways to fake the Sales Code in Kies if you want to, look in the Galaxy S forums for details or flash the ROM of your choice (carefully) with Odin or Hemidal..!
If you flash with Odin or Hemidal I recommending flashing the modem.bin from your original provider version back to give best phone/modem performance unless you know that the modem you flashed to is suitable for your country conditions.
Is there any reason why vodafone and three have official 2.3.5 on kies but nothing for unbranded phones? Even the original SGS has it. I'm really beginning to regret getting this phone. Don't want to flash a Frankenstein package as would rather have a official release.

The most obvious question arises:
Why?
There's literally no reasonable or logical disadvantage to using one of the 'leaked' ROMs, since they are typically identical to the 'official release' ROMs in every way.
People seem to think that the official releases are magically enhanced somehow. In reality, the 'leaked' ROM simply becomes the 'official release' a few weeks later with no changes whatsoever made to it.
If the XEU ROM was leaked I would put it on my phone, except it hasn't been. As I said I dont want any Frankenstein ROMS. I just find it weird there isn't even a leak of the a XEU ROM yet Vodafone and Three have released theirs on Kies.

Again, same question. Why not just flash the leaked 2.3.5 and use the XEU CSC?

You're missing the whole point, it is kind of odd that an official one hasn't dropped nor a leaked version either. I for one am waiting for the official too.

Yes I agree , the op is asking a question of why Kies has not released the rom for all phones. He is not asking about flashing. There are too many people that dont actually read.
My phone is unbranded and find this question interesting.
Waiting for official 2.3.5 on my xeu sgs2 as well. But im happy with the current 2.3.4 and not in a rush to get it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I find it very strange as well that there isn't an official 2.3.5 firmware for unbranded XEU phones particularly when the vodafone and three customised firmwares would have been derived from a generic one.
I guess what makes it bearable is that 2.3.4 works perfectly for me and 2.3.5 doesn't add anything new apart from the blue overscroll glow which I'll rather not have.

It's not that I didn't read or understand the question, just that the question itself is very strange given that there's no logical reason to 'regret' getting the device when we have access to everything the OP wants already. There's no difference between 'official' ROMs or leaked ones other than the waiting time involved. In fact, the chances of the 'Official' Kies flash screwing up your phone are probably greater than they are with Odin.
The OP isn't only stating that it's odd that the 'Official' ROM hasn't been released via Kies, which I'd agree that it is a bit odd, but that he's beginning to regret purchasing the device because of this. I don't deny that reality, but I do think it's a trivial reason to regret such a fine device, particularly given the regularity with which leaked ROMs appear for the GSII compared to other devices. That's all I'm saying.
Some people like to use the official route I.E. Kies or at least use the ROM specific to their location. Sadly some others just cannot accept this. I have given up asking about officially released through Kies roms a long time ago because inevitably there will be a post immediately suggesting flashing. If I wanted that info I would ask for it.
You may wish to plug your phone in tonight.
I just did this to be told that the 2.3.5 update is ready and waiting for download (which I will do tomorrow when I have charged my phone)
My phone is an unbranded UK one
Can you tell us which version of update is available. I would have to flash back to stock, but don't want to if its not the official 2.3.5 KJ2 for XEU devices.

The point to this is that it's unprecedented and curious that branded phones will have firmware updates so far ahead of unbranded ones, however I agree it's a strange reason to regret buying the phone considering there's very little between both fw versions.

I too dont understand where 2.3.5 XEU is....
Ive seen quite a few 2.3.5 versions appear over past weeks, but no XEU.
I agree that it is very strange for some uk networks to release 2.3.5 via kies before we have a leaked version.
Maybe ICS is coming sooner than we thought, so no need for 2.3.5 ... Lol
XEU is usually one of the 1st leaks available, so it is strange.

The Kies servers can only handle so much at a time. UK (o2) and UK (T-Mobile) haven't even had the 2.3.4 upgrade yet. I think these users would be a bit miffed if we UK (unbranded) owners got yet another upgrade via Kies (2.3.5) before they even got the older 2.3.4 we have enjoyed for several weeks now.

Any one in Canada received the 3.2 update from Samsung or has it not been released here yet?
I haven't received it yet. Probably not out yet.
Yes, I have, I'm in Gatineau Quebec and it was there last week and again yesterday when I plug into Kies even if I'm on Task 6.1.
what firmware is the update? Android HC 3.2, but what firmware code specifically?
did you do the update or stay with Task?
Kies will not connect for me regardless of what I do -- I have given up on it and will flash using Odin and download using CheckFus or an uploaded firmware and so it would be nice to know what designation is being presented by Kies.
official response from Samsung Canada is that it has not bee released here yet and the 3 different CSR's I have spoken to do not know why it has not been released and when it will be.
Wonder if I use Tunnelbear switched to US and then connect Kies if it will pull the update from Samsung US?

And did you purchase your tab in Canada or the U.S.?
Update not available in kies or OTA here (just checked again)
In case it is not clear in my sig, my tab is stock non-rooted
Im on Task 6.1. I bought it new in the box from a gent from Ottawa and I could'nt tell you where its from as I installed a custom rom first thing when I got home. But all my info and registration including Kies points to Canada. I just assumed that like my Asus Transformer OTA were location based not firmware based. Sorry if this misled anyone.
Unfortunately Tunnel Bear did help get the update.
I am in Canada, and I put the US update on. What would the difference be for Canada?
How? Samsung Canada have not released it yet.

This is what I did, I rooted my tab, then installed the rom from post #115 of this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346227&page=12
I also used the pit file on post #121 of the same thread
using odin. When I plugged in with Kies, it said an update was available.
Granted I purchased my dad's tab in the states, I was able to get the ota for it in Ontario two days ago. His is stock.
Just checked the box its model GTP7510UWR it had software version XXKG6. Inside everything was bilingual so it looks like it was a canadian model, however depending on the rom I had on it, kies may had seen it as a US model. Since I'm on Task 6.1 I don't get the update.
I'm also on a stock tab 10.1 in Ontario and haven't been able to get an update via kies or OTA. Just keep getting the "no update available" message when I check.
I'm following Samsung on twitter, who have said they will tweet when its released. I'd love to know there excuse for not releasing it yet, they'll probably claim the market is too small and therefore the distribution costs are too high......the usual bull**** we get up her for getting screwed over.

Is there something vastly different between the Canadian version and the US version? If not, I don't see why we should wait around until they release it in Canada...

Hello everyone,
first time poster here, so please be gentle if I missed one of the rules here... I've searched through the threads here but am still somewhat confused.
I have an unlocked, unbranded international edition I9300 coming in the mail shortly. I intend to use it in the United States on the T-Mobile network. It turns out that T-Mobile has 3G coverage in the 1900 MHz band where I live.
Being a complete nub, I would prefer to not root the phone. However, I'm also wondering whether it is possible to install a version of official Jelly Bean on there once I get it through Kies? I've looked at the releases for Poland and Sweden, but they seem to all be branded versions for specific carriers. Would they work for me?
Thank you in advance!

Yes they will work on any i9300 model. However JB for your particular region should be out soon. So, you could just wait and update through KIES to avoid an hassle.
The Polish release is not branded. The Swedish is.
It just so happens I just came back from the states where I used my I9300 with my stock Polish DLIB rom on T-Mobile. Worked great.
Okay, thanks!
If the OS is branded, what differences does it have other than the splash screen at startup? Can these be installed without rooting?
Also - the North American variant is not the quad core i9300. Do you think they will still release an update through Kies to the U.S. for i9300?

The boot animation, some sounds probably, some carrier specific apps and/or games. In this case the telenor release is almost clean from what I read.
The apps you can disable without root, the boot animation you cannot.
If I were you I would go for the newest JB release and wouldn't worry about the branding or the CSC. If another newer release comes around you can just flash it over your existing rom using Odin without losing anything.
The NA versions will most likely receive JB as the Note2 which is about to hit retail in the US is already running it.

There will never be a specific US region update for the International GS3. The same was true for the International GS2. You'll have to download another country's ROM if you want to update. It doesn't matter. Just set it to U.S. English and that's it. I'm on AT&T and the ROM's CSC code doesn't matter either. I recommend the latest UK unbranded ROM build XXDLJ4. There are plenty of ROMs on this forum based on this build.
So what you're saying is that the upgrade OTA is determined by the current region of the rom? i.e. where I purchased the device?
I'm in San Francisco now but I bought my device in the Netherlands.
Can I just upgrade to the UK unbranded without a problem? What about US features like installing Google Wallet etc.
Thanks.
Dude just download the faryraab stock official and inside the package is Odin
Its so super easy. I have an American purchased 9300 that was originally a Brazilian firmware. Now I am always on uk btu mainly because its the latest and greatest.
Go to the general section and look for the latest official and its right there. No need to wipe or anything
