This morning connected my Galaxy Tab to KIES and it prompted that there is an update !!
it took ages to download its binary files then finally after it got done, it gave me a decryption error !!
I have changed my sales code to gain access to market, could this be the problem or do i redownload the files !!
Isn't there a way to UPGRADE fw via OTA? or placing update.zip in root of sd nd flashing from recovery? (similar to HTC devices)
how do I upgrade to the latest version? help please
Cheers
Jackie
PS: Please find attached the firmware code : current and new !
Are you UK based Jackie? Just guessing as you said cheers! I've seen nothing this morning though have read there was an Android Market update which I had already downloaded and applied, maybe why I'm seeing no update.
no I'm based in UAE !! that's just teh way I speak !!
Ah right, nice to read it all the same, Cheers!
so anyone has any idea?
Jackie,
I don't bother with Kies.... It put my SGS in a right mess and couldn't be used until I sorted it out with another ROM and a different PC software upgrader by the name of Odin.
Your best bet is to go on over to samfirmware.com and check out the latest ROM's available.
I'm sending you also a link which although was written for the SGS and Froyo it's still relevant for ROM files for the Tab and how to use Odin.
See here:- How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo

First, what ROM version do you currently have installed?
Next, look at the list of ROM's available see here.
You need to find out if you are on a European, Asian, Arabic, etc ROM and decide if you want to stay on that list or opt to another nation list.
For European lists JMA is the latest. There's a topic on JMA here.
PDA: P1000JPJJ2
Phone: P1000JXJJ1
CSC: P1000OJPJJ3
is what is being reported on *#1234# and samfirmware says this is the Arabic firmware and the latest for Arabic is P1000JVJL1 December 2010, not that I'm interested in any of the region specific apps - just wondering what has been fixed in these firmwares and also if flashing would delete all my data (I'm guessing it would)
I don't mind flashing a European firmware too, so which would be best?
PS: Tab is currently rooted with OCLF set ! =)
Cheers
Hi may i ask if you do firmware update does the tab have to be sim free not lock to a network as im on t-mobile uk, i dont want to brick my tab
thanks

It should not delete any data.
The browser and camera have been improved.
The browser now scrolls smoother.
The camera focus's much better.
No idea what other improvements have been made.
It does not really matter which firmware you wish to use BUT bear in mind a number of users who have performed a lagfix have had issues in upgrading the ROM.
You MUST ensure you remove any lagfix applied otherwise you stand a good chance in bricking the phone.
Also, ensure you have access to the Recovery and download mode.
You will need this if you 'brick' the phone.

You need someone who is on a T-Mobile locked phone to answer this. I have heard of users on carrier networks who have run into issues.
Basically, unless you have a sound knowledge in what you are doing I would not attempt it until you get good solid advice.
seems like a long procedure, I'll hold off until i'm done with my exams....
also should I try KIES again? just in case ?? o.0

Got a similar problem... info says its P1000XXJID, valid euro firmware... Bought the tab in Hungary (Middle of europe), carrier free, and after looking at samfirmware.com's ROM list I was wondering about the updates.
Kies tells me this version can't be updated...
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Many, Many of us here in UK are having problems and are unsuccessful when trying to update/upgrade using Kies.
Hopefully Kies will get fixed properly to allow us all to use it.

Even ActiveSync was better... at least it didn't offer the SW update...
to trick kies to update u could use kies registry patcher. I have sucsessfully updated via kies from jj3 -> jj7 (when no updates was availible)
read thru this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863386
Use the info from check fus and paste it in registry patcher, reboot pc - start kies - connect phone - something should happen.
Hello,
I got my Defy a few weeks ago and was looking to run CM on it. But I want to be sure to be able to return to stock froyo.
I have wiped my phone and made a nandroid backup but I read in the 'CM FAQ' I'd still need a fixed sbf if I want to return my phone back to stock. I've been googling for a few hours but can't seem to understand how to create a sbf file for my phone. And the sbf I need doesn't seem to be available on the forum.
Can you guys help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot
Tthe specifics are:
Code:
systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB

while it is U3_3.4.2_179-2, it is not called "JOREM", instead it is the "JRDNEM" version. And an USA version at that. Intresting, when searching for these words the search comes up empty. Probably filtered because it whould give to many hits, sadly I don't know what it means now... any pointers? We are certain this version will get me back to a stock motorola defy which I could bring back to the shop for repair?
Taking this in consideration I believe I need to backup my baseband, on the other hand, cm7 has a lot of them preinstalled, i suppose the uk baseband should work in Belgium considering this post. To be certain I send a pm with a backup of my baseband to Sqoerk, the translator of the "basebandswitcher".
Hi,
I also need this sbf, it would be great if someone could share it!
OK, I'll try to clarify this for you but your question is not clear.
IF you have Froyo already and it is your stock rom, you will not need a fixed sbf to keep your "downgradability" if you choose to try CM7. But careful if you decide to try the leaked GB rom or any other newer 2.2 sbf (like the nordic one recommended for CM7).
In fact, I would suggest you to try CM7 (RC1v2) over your stock Froyo first: don't bother flashing nordic sbf.
If your stock sbf is eclair or if you want to try leaked GB, then yes you will need to find a fixed sbf first.
Follow the CM7 FAQ starting at root, reboot, install sndInit v1.4.2 (and don't forget to turn off usb debugging before tje 2 reboots), wipe and factory reset (IN CUSTOM RECOVERY) and finally install cm7 and google apps from there too.
I'm sure that you will find a working baseband in CM7; no need to copy anything in this regard. But setting 'Defy Baseband Switcher' IS the first thing to do after installation. If you don't battery wont last, hot phone and bad or no signal reception...
Hello zorofroozo,
I want to start using CM 7, but before doing that I need to find the original stock rom.
I also have a Defy with same version details as the one you have.
Were you able to find/download the stock rom?
systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Android-version: 2.2.2
Basebandversion: EPU93_U_00.59.01
Build-number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2
Thanks
Does anyone know another place to download this ROM, or can anyone upload it somewhere? Thanx!
Multiupload is dead and and-developers.com doesn't have it.
Here is a rom with these specifics 3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR (Western Europe Delblur)

Hi Hso3f, your link points to a deblurred Western Europe ROM, which can result in an unpleasant and expensive surprise if the Motorola repair guy looks too close at the small print. It's not the same as Blur_Version_34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB. It looks like this SBF is totally gone from the web.
Hi Rogier,
yes my link 3.4.2-179-2 GB points to the official Benelux 2.2.2 deblurred rom (Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB), like asked in the op.

Looks like you're mixing up some ROMs. The OP did not ask for a deblurred Benelux ROM, but for the blurred GB ROM, i.e. the retail ROM for the British market.
You're linking to a ROM called JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P023_A008_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf, which is meant for the other half of Europe. There are a lot of different ROMs that share the number 34.179.2. GB, COREEU, CEE, DACH, ...
"Core EU" is not "GB." The retail GB version has a completely different set of languages, and it's definitely not deblurred.
So the search for the real 4.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB with Blur isn't over yet.

You can see "Moto_Version" and not "Blur_version" if it was a blurred rom systemversion would be Blur_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB, isn't it?
I don't know why motorola left "en.GB" in system version of it, but it's like that. So, This rom that I've linked is the Benelux, western Europe, COREEU, call it what you want, rom. I know that, i'm not mixing anything. This is the same rom i had by msu here in Belgium.

There are no official deblurred ROMs for the GB retail market. Motorola deblurred a bunch of ROMs for central and eastern europe, but not for the british from GB.

There are plenty of official blurred Motorola ROMs that don't have the word "Blur" in the system version. Motorola not only sucks at keeping links on their site alive. Consistent naming of their ROMs is not their strong point either. And neither is providing timely Android updates or keeping their firmware up to date when they relaunch the same phone with a new battery and the word "plus" tacked on.
This is the same rom i had by msu here in Belgium.

The country in which you run MSU doesn't matter. The ROM you get from MSU is determined by the current system version of your phone, not by your location.
By the way, did you notice this discrepancy:
See here:Moto_Version_34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB

The blue text may say "Retail.GB" but the link points to a URL that doesn't have the letters "GB" in it, and neither does the pdf on the linked page. Instead, the pdf states that the ROM is for benelux, eastern europe, greece, poland and turkey. Not for Great Britain.
The 34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB ROM that I got from MSU has german, spanish, french, italian, dutch, and portuguese as available languages. And english of course, but so does every other Motorola ROM.
No trace of a Blur_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Official uk 2.2.2 blurred rom is, i think: Blur_Version_34.177.3.MB525.Retail.GB

Official UK 2.2.2 blurred ROM was 34.179.2 when Motorola first released it last summer. I still have the Nandroid I made after installing the official blurred Froyo update with MSU. If I could turn that Nandroid into an SBF the OP would have the ROM he's after.
34.179.2 is older than the 34.177.3 ROM, but both are official blurred GB ROMs.
Some differences between 34.177.3 Retail.GB and 34.179.2 Retail.GB:
- 179 doesn't have the extra bloatware (social messaging/networking/sharing/status, cardio trainer, amazon mp3 search) of 177;
- Swype 2.25.67.18335 in 179, Swype 2.25.67.18418 in 177;
- the boot animation pulsates in 177 but not in 179;
- the accounts app is called "accounts" in 177 but "my accounts" in 179, the 179 icon doesn't have the Motorola branding that the 177 icon has;
- the gallery in 179 doesn't have the quick upload button of the 177 gallery.
The blurred 34.179.2 Retail.GB was quickly replaced by 34.177.3, which is why the original SBF is so damn hard to find.

That you don't want to understand is moto devs have left en.GB in system version of werstern Europe deblurred rom... so in this case, en.GB doesn't necessarily mean UK with blur but also Western Europe without blur...

That's the rom that i've linked, with the system info that i've posted, from droid-developers and i have also the nandroid of it (instaled in belgium, on a phone buyed in an shop in belgium, and msu was showing me provider:benelux, just to clarify) to compare...(exactly the same, it says COREEU in the file name, but have en.GB in system version, also JRDNEM in the name, but JOREM in built number.)
So my rom is not that you're looking for... ok, but what makes you say that my rom is not that isn't what zrorofroozo looking for? en.GB in system version? All system info are the same...
Also, you have a nandroid of your rom, you have a link for a most recent official rom for your region, what do you need more?
So I repeat this Sbf has these specifics in phone info:

The SBF with the ROM that I got from MSU.
A Nandroid doesn't restore the warranty of your Defy. You need to flash an official stock SBF to remove all traces of 2nd init, because 2nd init doesn't clean up properly after itself.
Flashing the most recent SBF doesn't always cut it either, because MSU doesn't always deliver the most recent ROM. If you run 179.2 MSU won't update it to 177.3, even though 177 is newer than 179.

The Op disdn't mention Blurred or UK neither.
Again, you know that by the specifics that he's posted, and specifics is the same. You decided that "system version: *retail.en.GB" means UK blurred rom... but it's not true...
It's not a uk blur rom, I know that!
It's not the rom that you're looking after, i know that!
But it respect all the system info the op post!
So maybe it's the good, maybe not!
As I say before retail.en.GB can be your uk blurred rom, or also western Europe deblurred rom.
The two are original sbf with these system version.
If someone looking after western Europe deblur it's the good one, otherwise it isn't.
Now stop this sterile discussion.
Edit: I've editing the post with the link for more clarity.

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....

what do you mean? i'm on NEE_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKI2_I9100XXKI1_I9100XXKI4 and can select English UK?
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.

If anyone can post a link for download the first, I'm interested

Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.
If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.
You may have to be a member to see this link but.....

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.
Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update
But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!
Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.

Direct from my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
Hi Guys i have developed a Swollen battery for my i9505 and have arranged a replacement via warranty and and Samsung. They need to see the phone along with battery however, My phone is currently rooted with cwm recovery installed. I need to bring it back to official firmware and i am looking for the same firmware the phone came with.
I am not to sure what region the original firmware was based on. I am from the UK and the phone was on o2 network. These are my about details prior to modification:
Android 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9505XXUBMF8
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-917495 [email protected] #1 Wed June 19 20:07:29 KST 2013
Build: JDQ39.I9505XXUBMF8
SELinux: Permissive
Secure Boot Status: Type: Samsung
I believe i have the old boot-loader and my device is Knox free. I am looking for this firmware but cannot find it. I did some research and came across it on DjeMBeY's thread however the stock firmware he has link to was on Hotfile which is no longer running.
Can someone please help me find alternative link to my required firmware please? Also if my firmware was "MF8" does this mean all MF8's are the for the same region? or will there be separate MF8's for separate regions?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com, if they don't have what you need you're probably SOOL, at least until Samfirmware have all their stuff back up (when they put stuff up on Terra, they seem to have started with the most recent stuff working back, but it seems a bit 'patchy' I.E some recent stuff is up, some isn't).

Okay thanks i have had a look for my firmware on Samsung-Updates.com, and come across 2 firmwares which are MF8
GT-I9505 YOG I9505XXUBMF8 Android 4.2.2 19.06.2013 917495
GT-I9505 PRT I9505XXUBMF8 Android 4.2.2 19.06.2013 917495
I believe one is for Spain and one for Poland, now my question is how do i know which one was originally on my phone? My phone is a UK model running on o2 network, and these 2 firmwares are for different countries, I am confused, should there be a MF8 for UK also? Please advice? thanks
