HI! I'm a noob . I want to flash a custom froyo rom, im tired of waiting for official kies update. So I need the original firmware from samfirmware.com incase something goes wrong or i want to update via kies, the problem is i don't know witch one to download. I'm from Europe, Croatia, bought my phone in T-mobile, went to service store and removed sim lock.
This is what my phone says:
Firmware version
2.1-update 1
Basic version
I5800XXJG3
Kernel
2.6.29 root
Version number
ECLAIR.XXJG7
on samfirmware there is I5800XWJG3 and I5800XWJG7
official froyo rom was released in india a few days back.
you can download it from samfirmware and flash it with odin
firmware is i5801DDJP2
its not the point in the official froyo or any newer firmware. the point is my original eclair firmware, so when i need i can get back to ir
oh i misunderstood your question. sorry i have no idea about that
I5800XXJG7 is your firmware i think
To make sure: call to *#1234#. And look at pda

So I've learned that I've got the XWKDC firmware which is apparently the oldest one.
I've been having a rebooting issue with the SGS2 phone as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099121
I thought that maybe installing the latest firmware might resolve the issue.
So my question is this:
1. Is XXKE4 the latest firmware? That's what I can understand from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
2. Is there any reason why I shouldn't upgrade?
3. My phone isn't rooted and I don't want to root it atm. Is there a way for me to backup everything in case something goes wrong so that I can just restore it to it's current state?
4. How come some people are getting the updates through Kies and some people don't? Why can't I update through the software?
Thank you for helping
having the same issue with kies would love for someone to confirm

But you can lok for a copy of original firmware some are posted in dev section
4. How come some people are getting the updates through Kies and some people don't?
Any Kies update is down to the phone provider and if they have passed the firmware and altered it or are not going to upgrade that firmware .

Hello,
I'm one of the people in Belgian who bought a g3 which was branded by a Belgian telecom provider. My brother bought the same phone, which was unbranded, and can update via Kies. Because my phone is branded, I can't update via Kies.
I'm wondering if someone can give me a link to the belgian stock firmware for either eclair (2.1) so I can update it after flashing via kies to froyo. If someone knows the belgian stock firmware for froyo (2.2), that would also be appreciated!
I looked at samfirmware, but there are so many firmwares that I don't know which is the latest one for Belgium.
Thanx in advance!

well, if it is XX, then the latest one for that series is XXJPQ...
but as you say BSEJP1...then it is I5800XWJPE according to the table of Samfirmware
i found it, thank you !
So, I downloaded the I5800XWJPE from samfirmware, but the rar file contains 3 tar.MD5 files,
one for the PDA, CSC and bootloader.
All the tutorials indicate i should go for "one package" option, but i have 3 files, without one for the phone.
What should I do?
The file names contain BOOT and other two and in odin you select Bootloader and the 2others

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
2.3.3 is the latest

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...

Right, but we're talking about Kies, KI4 isn't on Kies, nor is 2.3.4

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.

Your original CSC ought to be XSG(UAE). Nevertheless, since you've flashed the SLK firmware, there is no need of worry. By the way, you may not be getting new update since the firmware might be already latest, as last update to Sri Lankan firmware arrived way back in January. Just see the attachment.

Thanks for the help. Will I get be able to get the updates if I flash the UAE rom?
SLK firmware is fulled with bloatware and I am not planning to root my phone again.

You'll get updates, provided Samsung releases a new one in the UAE region. Which I think won't probably happen as Galaxy J5's two year support period is nearly over.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend you to change the CSC to INS(INDIA) by dialing *#272*imei 1# on your phone dialer and then choosing INS as the Sales code. Keep in mind that by doing so your device'll reboot and wipe all the datas.
As far as I know, J500F used to get more frequent updates in India than any other country.
Tnx.
Hi
Which android version do you have?
J5 is not getting many updates.After the 6.0.1 update there may not be anymore.
Plus if your phone is not official then it wont get any more updates.
