You may have to factory reset to the orig Android OS to find out.

I think the devs should leave the orig build info in the tab and just add on their sig to it for fallback reference.

That's not possible because each dev uses whichever build they want to base their rom off of. For example, your original stock firmware may be US, but developer1 uses ww base. Once you flash that rom, your tf will now be based on ww and there is absolutely no way of telling what was on their prior to because flashing the new rom will wipe and override any information from your previous rom.

Understand, so how will one do an update through ota? I'm sure Asus will have a hard time reconciling a tab's sku/serial conflict. I'm all for innovation and better ideas but if a tablet's profile is modified beyond recognition, it could wind up getting bricked if someone tries a manual update.
I wonder if there's any way to cross reference a serial to an sku? I don't see anything helpful at Asus' website.

If you have a custom ROM and/or custom recovery, the OTA will fail anyway.

Can somebody suggest where I can get the official ROMs especially european ROM since I see lots of asian firmwares being upgraded to European firmwares in many threads in this forum.
Also I want to how I can change the firmware to these european FW without rooting. Somebody please suggest step by step directions please.
I am having a singtel fw and need to remove the singtel animation at startup and my ver number is JE9 as I see most of the people are using JF versions which seem to be more recent than what I have.
And after changing it I should still be able to upgrade to froyo officially when it releases.
thanks

The site is not an official Samsung's sponsor site, but the ROMs are official. Though, from what I have learned, not all the official ROM can be found there.
The only official EU rom at this time is JF3 and they just posted that today. Official means released by samsung. No one has clarified who/what samsung-firmwares.com really is but those newer roms are definitely not official. This doesn't mean they aren't great especially since now we can flash back to the stock firmware if we need it for warranty purposes.

They are not officially available to the public so there's nothing official about them. If I assume that they are the same files used when flashing the phones that are distributed around the world I guess they could be called "shipping" ROMs, but that doesn't make them more official than the updates.

It is "official" enough for me. When used the ROM found at their site, I manage to restore SGS to default and initial state. It even comes with all the customisations that are specially designed for the local operator I subscribed to. I don't really want to know nor do I care how the owner of the site manage to access these ROM files.

We need wait from Samsung though...
At least this clear out some misinformation regarding the ROM files at their site.
I am getting more confused now:
What are 'stock ROMs' then and what are those that are called 'official ROMs' if samsung has not released them or posted them and where are these sourced from.
My fw is JE9 asian, although I can see that it looks old when I see JF4 already being talked about, dont know how this supercedes my JE9 when samsung has not released an update? And I dont want to risk flashing those different so called official ROMs if samsung tomorrow devices some way of tracking that these are ROM that did not ship with the device and not allow me to upgrade to froyo - so i think i will rather wait.

Downgrade using recovery by renaming the TW .13 FOTA update with the same filename described in flashing the leaked 3.1 and you should be good, keep in mind that you might need to do a factory reset or FCs will repeatedly happen.
To the guy who's obviously trolling, don't say anything if you have nothing useful to say.

thanks for yr help
I have similar problem, should be ww (UK version), but flashed the 3.1 US version.
I understand the response about downgrading, but can not find the file I need.
I assume I am looking for EP101_SUPDATE.zip with a ww version in it.

Just unzip the WW 3.1 update and rename the zip inside /ASUS/Update/ to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and use the method I described above.
Thanks for quick reply.
That worked fine.
I have a TB SKU, although I am not sure what a SKU is exactly, but it has something to do with your region, alright.
TB SKU is for Belgium, and Belgium has some weird regulations, so that Android upgrades come out later than for the rest of Europe. Now, is it safe to just take the WW SKU, rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip, put it on the SD card, go into regular recovery mode and flash it?
Rooting is a good alternative of course (got su on my HTC Hero, easy stuff), but I don't have the urge to achieve root unless I actually need to. Thanks in advance, and maybe any of my country mates would share their experience.

Yes it should be fine. I would however try to locate a TB region FOTA update before doing anything just to make sure you have something to fall back on in case you need RMA (since I'm pretty sure they would consider your warranty void if you flash a different region firmware too)
It is not confirmed though as to how this will affect OTA updates pushed by ASUS later on. If they push according to MAC address, then it can be assumed they have a record of which MAC address is which SKU, so it might push the Belgium OTA update which won't let you update if you're on WW, but that is just speculation. If it comes to that point, just use nvflash method and root. You can easily unroot it too.
Hi Guys,
I got today a Nexus S and it has apperently a Developer Firmware.
It says :
Android - Version
2.4
Build-Number
soju-userdebug 2.4 GRI06B 88106 test-keys
In Fastboot Mode it says :
Lock State - Unlocked
Here´s my question, is it possible to root this Nexus without damage and putting a CM Rom on it?
Thanks for the help!
I don't know where you got your Nexus S at, but OpenSoju is a Rom here on XDA that is at version 0.2.4 right now. I think you phone may already be rooted so no harm in putting CM on it. Here's a link to the Soju Rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080009
Definotely wouldnt flash anything yet. Dump system first? sure some other nexus users would love to get tgeir hands on that

Early 2.3.4 builds were labeled 2.4. He got an engineering build that's likely an early build of 2.3.4 - especially looking at the versioning. There was a thread on this a while back and someone at Google listed their email to contact about this (IMEI, location received from) so they could get you on a proper build as the engineering builds will never receive the OTA(s). I actually received one NIB from Best Buy Mobile on a swap from my original device back in December.

Update:
Oh and another thing... is it now safe to instal CM Mod Rom on this handset or may i **** somthing up by doing so?
Indeed it might be very useful especially for those who have the imei messed up.
Please dump the files if you can

I'm sure a lot of us would be very happy to get a system dump.
As for the question regarding being CM7-ready... Yes, sounds like it is. But give us a dump first! Please???
i´ve another stupid question.. did the dump and had already set up a few things like marketplace, google account , facebook etc.. is that stuff also contained in the dump .. because if yes i would have to do a factory reset and dump again
Update:
I love it to ask stupid questions and then figuring out by myself.. seems like i have to do anyway a full reset / factory reset , and make a backup
Gonna upload the image in a few minutes!
Lol. None of your info will be in the dump. You are fine.

Indeed, if you have backed up your rom with all your settings, these are kept. You should factory reset n backup again please.
Concerning the radio, can you tell us the version? Its the baseband in settings.

I'm not 100% sure that's true - latest OTA I've recieved in US is .11 - I think (unless my OTA broke after .11) that the .3x, .4x versions are foriegn versions.

Mind you, once you upgrade to the latest iteration of Android it is usually impossible to go back unless you can flash a RAW image of the rom...
I don't know if this is the case with the Yotaphone but most phones have this limitation...

That's indeed true for most phones but when you use YotaFlasher it flashes the complete image so you can always go back to a previous version or switch between regions. When you use OTA to upgrade you can also go back to a previous version by using the YotaFlasher.
