only morons would fail to notice that this is uploaded by me..
i find no reason why it can be shared like 6 times already when i just uploaded it today..
anyway its for public sharing, and more importantly as the above post said, for avoiding those "i want to have that too, pls pm me" stuff flooding the boards..

you get more but ratherold from here

This Rom is for U8800 not U8800H!!!....using this Rom on U8800H may result in missing functions (HSDPA) etc...

its for U8800, and i have installed it in my U8800H without any problem..
the only difference between the 2 models is that U8800H supports HSPA+ while U8800 only supports HSPA..
thus if ur telecom service provider does not provide HSPA+ service (like in my case), then u can safely flash this rom into ur phone without losing any functionality..
u can actually flash any U8800 rom if u like..

Thanks for clearing up, so its for U8800 and not for U8800H.
I would really like to know which (Original) firmware is the newest/latest. I ask because I read somewhere that B160 is not Newer than B136.

there are 2 series of roms, one being B133, B135, B136, B137, B138, and the other being B158, B160, B162, B163..
the former series is for overseas models, and the latter for china unicom (and china mobile?) phones..
B136 is roughly equivalent to B158, B137 to B160 and B138 to B162..
B163 is a customised version for china mobile and is equivalent to B162..
therefore for us overseas models, B138 is currently the latest rom available..
(though im not sure if SP4 is the latest service pack release.. )

How much customized is the Estonia ROM? I'm on the generic 136 and I would like to try it but I don't want any Estonian "ornaments" on my Greek phone! Do you think that there are any overall improvements over the 136 version?
Thanx guyz!

There are a few hot fixes (as in improved drivers etc)...but in terms of actual applications, not much. Don't worry, apps are not going to be any different, maybe one or two added/removed.

ı want to desire z rom port on ideos x5

On modaco, you'll find a link to a newer "general overseas"version, b138sp4.I just downloaded it but haven't flashed yet because i'm not completely sure that it will go well on my x5, because the download page says it is meant for the u8800pro. Can anybody confirm this will work on the"old" x5? Also, I wonder if anybody knows which improvements are made in this ROM.

I downloaded it! In the instructions it clearly states that all the previous "plain" U8800 firmwares can be upgraded. I just started the upgrading procedure! It's working smoothly. I'll let you know in a few minutes whether I have an official non-chinese 2.2.2 or a brick!!!
EDIT 1: IT WORKS!!! I just turned it on and it indicates version 2.2.2. B138SP04! I'll post in a while to confirm that everything is functioning properly!
EDIT 2: Everything seems to be working fine. It went a little bit crazy when I tried to root it with the latest z4Root (which worked fine with the General B136) so I reformatted it.

So, it works but you can't root it? Did you try if HSPA worked?

No, I didn't try any other means of rooting besides z4Root 1.3.0.
I get a fine HSDPA signal from my Greek operator!

OK, you might also try Paul's Superboot from Modaco then. If HSPA works it is not a Pro ROM (contrary to what the website says) because I understood that is the difference between normal and Pro..

I really am not in need of rooting, even though I have rooted many of my previous phones. I think I will delay my rooting attempts 'till someone else tries it first! Enough sweating for one evening!
Pro is the newer, 1GHz version of the IDEOS X5, not the Chinese HSDPA-less version!

Samsung Galaxy S update via KIES not working.

Hello everyone and sorry if i created a topic that already exists ive been searching this forum for hours and i could not find a solution to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 purchased in Slovenia at the provider Mobitel.
I've tried to update my phone to a newer version of the firmware trough Kies but i get the following error.
OK as im new it doesnt let me insert links :/ so my firmware version is the following:
PDA:JS2 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (MOT)
i know the update to 2.3 is availible in Slovenia but i think i am missing some update inbetween or something, as you can see my Kies says its not an official version on my phone but it is, my phone is the same as i bought it ive never updated yet nor i installed any custom stuff on it.
Hope someone can help me i've been trying to update for about 2 weeks now :/ thanks!

Hi it would seem that http://www.samfirmware.com/ have a lot of updates that don't seem to be on kies I have updated my I9000 to 2.3.5 using Odin from there.
Everything you need to do it is on that site there are many threads on this forum for updating you phone. Before you do back up your IMEI data because if something goes wrong (not that it should) this data is unrecoverable.
See this link for how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859914
When you go onto samfirmware there are guides on how to use Odin and what firmwares to use. Not that the name of the firmware version holds info about country codes and languages so my firmware I9000XXJVS is decoded in the following way -
I9000 - model
XX - Country code
JV - Language code
S - Changes with version
When you are changing the firmware check that the language code and country code are the same as what you have already this will ensure you have the right firmware. Only the last letter changes usually.

Hey thanks for your reply!
See im a complete novice when it comes to update Android phones on my own...doesnt it mean if i do it with Odin its going to be a custom update and i loose my warranty as it would be an official samsung update anymore ? and the frimware versions its all just numbers and letters to me i coudnt tell the difference between them if i look at them :/ so if you could please link me the exact things that i need if its legal to update that way , if im not asking for too much cause i feel like i am :/ i've been searching both this forum and sam's for a few days and i cant make out anything of it, like i saidi m a novice dont know much :/

Ok i downloaded this :
samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8512833-android-2-3-5-for-galaxy-s-
now i have completely no idea what to do with >.< please help!

flash samfirmware 2.3.5 XXJVS, newest and fastest

Ok firstly Odin is a manual tools for updating firmware. And the roms on that site are stock roms (unmodified). The reason Samsung and other manufacturers don't like people flashing roms is that a) you can brick your phone and b) with a custom rom they will not warrantee the rom because they didn't make it. If you flash a stock rom onto your phone you should be fine. (Bricked phones are recoverable usually).
As I said before BACK UP YOUR IMEI DATA as shown by the link in my original post reply as if this data is corrupted even if you get a good rom on your phone if you have lost your imei your phone will not work. (This is more of an issue with custom roms and not usually an issue with stock roms but do it anyway).
**UPDATE** This actually requires that you have Odin up and working which you might not yet so don't worry just yet about this.
Don't use xxjvs yet it may be the wrong language we will check before proceeding.
Ok firstly you need to check the language version of the rom already in your phone the easiest way is to go into settings and then about and check the kernel version it will be something like 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVS-CL535839
The important bit for now is the bit in bold in the above example I9000 is the model xx is the country code jv is the langauge code and s is the version.
XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
JV = en,fr,pt,tr(ar,de,es,fa,it,nl)
If you are from Solvenia you country code would normally be XD and im not sure what your language code is. Any firmware you install should have the same country and language codes.
Checking the site there aren't any versions with the XD country code so before continuing can you confirm what version your phone already has?
XD = Croatia, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia
?? = language (use whatever your old rom is)
You can flash different country codes but be aware that this may change the available languages on your phones and/or settings/carrier information. (checking the site they just have the xxjvs firmware listed under "Europe" so it might be fine. It's up to you. That being said when I turn my phone back on after flashing a rom it prompts me with a list of countries so...
You need to install your phone drivers
Then download Odin http://hotfile.com/dl/107607762/640950b/I9003_Odin3_v1.82.rar.html and then un-rar it.
You then need to download the firmware you want to flash the current XXJV firmware is http://hotfile.com/dl/129538506/0a079c6/I9000XXJVS.rar.html.
This will contain 4 files the modem, csc, kernel and pit files everything you need to make it work.
I'm not going to go through the Odin instructions as they are on the site here http://www.samfirmware.com/SVC Android/I9000 Flashguide.pdf and are pretty easy to follow (just ignore the first few pages until you come to the Odin section).

You can easily go back to stock using samsung kies software.

Here's a tutorial page from samsung on how to fully restore the stock firmware:

Great, never used it before...
Kind of funny as I've been a rom chef since windows mobile

Looking for a version of firmware

Hello, i'm looking for a stock firmware for Galaxy Note. The version i'm looking for is N7000XXKKA N7000OXXKK6 with XEO CSC (Poland) Andoird 2.3.6. I was looking for it on SamMobile, SamFW and Google but everywhere I check there are links that no longer work. Does anyone have this software or know where to get it?

Hello, im also looking for a specific stock firmware of the GT-N7000, im trying to find the N7000XILB1/N7000ITVKL1/N7000XXLB1/ firmware with ITV CSC (Italy Unbranded), im actually trying to find any version of Android GB 2.3.6 for the Galaxy Note ITV, but i can't find any working link online, all of them were hosted on the now dead Hotlink.com, there is a list of 2.3.6 GB Stock rom on XDA, their links are also dead but maybe you can have luck by searching for it in the archive.org, i found the ITV 2.3.6 .torrent on the Wayback Machine but unfortunately that's also dead with 0 seeds.
If anyone knows where to find Android GB 2.3.6 today please let us know, thanks.

Hello, here you go, i found the famous OXA Open Europe (Multi-CSC) Gingerbeard 2.3.6 Rom on this website: https://chule.tistory.com/54?category=401177
This is the GT-N7000 Launch firmware if im correct, i flashed trough Odin on a phone that had 4.1.2 JB, then i wiped data + cache and it worked well, after that i went on the Phone Dialer and typed this code -> *#06# (to get the phone IMEI Number) after that i typed this -> *#272*[IMEI]# and i changed CSC to ITV (Italy), i don't see Poland in the CSC List but you can try another 2.3.6 Rom from that website, or just use Germany or another Europe Country CSC.

Sorry im wrong actually there is XEO in the CSC List (*#272*[IMEI]#), so here you go
If you need to login with Google on android 2.3.6 GB you need to Update the Google Account Manager to the latest version, then update your Android Market to the Play Store and you can use the device.
There really are no more apps that support Android GB, you can get a lot of older games from 2011-2014 (such as Geometry Dash) on the Playstore but modern apps do not run on it, Chrome and Firefox do not work.
I Reccomend to download Opera Mini from the Playstore so you can at least go on Modern Websites, if you need Facebook you can use the Lite version which is still updated and works on GB, Google Maps still works altough it's a really old version so it doesn't have all the new features.
The latest version of Instagram is from 2014 and it no longer works, you can login but it will crash, you can still use it from Opera Mini.
The last version of Youtube is 5.5.30 and it doesn't work anymore as they disabled the Api for that version in 2020, you can use YT from Opera by going to https://m.youtube.com/f
Sometimes it will not let you access Youtube and it will say that your device is no longer supported and you need to update to Android ICS (4.0), so i reccomend to use the modded Youtube Apk i attached on this post, it's basically the web version of Youtube in an App.
The latest version of Whatsapp is from 2017 but it stopped working in 2020, so you can no longer use it, you need Android 4.1 as minimum.
I downgraded my Note to GB just for fun and nostalgia (also to remove the carrier bloated JB rom), but im going to Custom Rom this phone and you should too, as i said there is no modern app that runs on Android Gingerbeard and it's not a good experience, i just wanted to test it but yea now im going to install a more modern version of Android and see how it runs.
