Hi All,
Just bought an I900 running 2.1-u1
Baseband I9000XXJPK
What's the best way to get 2.2/2.2.1 on this?
Bit confused by the galaxy, seems a bit more messy with topics etc compared to the Desire HD (Also have)
Thanks,
Luke.
Download and install Kies 2. Run and plug in phone. it will tell you if your phones region has an update. You should at least get 2.2 at a guess.
Nope, it says this device isn't upgradeable atm, or something similar, which I find odd. But it wont.
Looking at the O2 website (I assume that is who you are with) the shop states their version of the SGS has only got Android 2.1 so it looks like it has not been updated by them yet. The support section shows several makes but not Samsung. I suggest you contact their customer support for a clearer picture. There are ways of updating but they invalidate your warranty and guarantee. If the phone is under 7 days old you could always take it back (I would) and choose a different network. Also by Flashing other firmware onto the phone you would lose any O2 applications/settings and may possibly make it unusable if the flash goes wrong or if the phone does not have a recovery mode.
Not with 02 on this one. Phone is unlocked and a de branded variant. No carrier. Currently using Orange Sim.
Can you try typing *#1234# in the dialler and posting the result.
Pda: I9000xxjf3
phone: I9000xxjpk
csc: I9000oxajf3
Which version of Kies did you install? The one from the provided disc? If so, open up Kies and check for updates to the software. I hear Samsung is no longer rolling out updates through versions of Kies under v2.
Once you have Kies on v2, you should be able to get Froyo 2.2.1.
Here is the offical Kies 2.0 download link
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...KDXEU&prd_mdl_name=GT-I9000&srchword=Galaxy+S
Click on the firmware update tab and the download tab is in there.
I have the latest off the site. Not even used the disc.
This seems very odd!
EDIT: Just checked. Deffo over v2!
There are suggestions in another thread that Samsung may be getting ready to roll out a new upgrade. If this is correct then I suppose it is possible that 2.2 and 2.2.1 have been removed in readiness?
Try loading "Samsung firmware" from the Android market. Run it and see if that says there is an update available for you.
I do understand that you bought this device from a guy, that is because the old XXJF3 firmware do come with the XXJF3 modem not XXJPK which is much later modem. Kies will not update the device until the Phone/CSC/Modem do match, means XXJF3/OXAJF3/XXJPK is seen as wrong by Kies, the right combination is XXJF3/OXAJF3/XXJF3.
You can only use Odin to make this right in one of three ways:
1: Flash the right Modem on your device to get the right combination and let Kies upgrade your device to XXJPY.
2: Flash the full XXJPM which is the 2.2 froyo and let Kies upgrade your device to XXJPY.
3: Flash XXJPY directly.
Ofcourse you can use CWM to flash a full ROM too but that will be too complicated for you at the moment.
Please explain the Clockwork Mod update.
And I should be ok. Fully customised a HTC Hero, T-Mobile G2, Orange San Francisco, T-Mobile Pulse and also my current Desire HD, so should be able to work it out ...
Thanks.
Also, any links to the right bit I need, can't find xxjf3 for the phone anywhere, I'll flash all 3 if I can find them, with the right .pit too ...
1: Root the phone if it's not rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2: Download/install busyox from market and run it, install in the device.
3: Download/install Rom Manager from market, install recovery 2.5.1.2
4: Download the deodexed XXJPY/OXAJPY/XXJPY firmware, extract and copy the extracted zip file to the internal SD-Card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
5: Reboot to recovery from Roma Manager menu, choose "install/run update.zip", the device will reboot, choose "install/run update.zip" again and you will be in CWM, choose "install zip from SD-card", brows to it and install the ROM you have downloaded.
6: Reboot when done.

No pit is needed to flash using Odin, unless you need to re-partition.
To flash the Modem only using Odin:
Download this archive, double-click to extract, power down the phone, remove Sim and external SD-card if any: http://www.multiupload.com/8CWVVOSP9H
1: Don't start Odin yet, hold the Volume Down key and the Menu Key then press and hold the Power Key till you see a yellow triangle with the word "Downloading", connect to the PC and let the drivers be installed, disconnect when done.
2: Start Odin and load the MODEM_I9000XXJF3 tar file as Phone, no pit, no re-partition.
3: Do the same again as in point 2 to enter Download mode, if your device is still in Download mode then press and hold all the three keys until the screen flicker, and the phone re-enters Download mode, don't try to connect the phone before doing that, the device will not flash and you will get an error.!
4: When re-entered Download mode, connect the phone and hit start, the flash will take a few seconds, the phone will reboot and here you have flashed the modem only.
Good luck
Ramad, changing the modem did the trick. Just updating to JPY. See what that's like, then might give Darkys ROM a bash. Seems to be the best ROM available?
Bah trying to do this properly, the download through KEIS has failed twice and once timed out. I'll do this manually I think. Is JPY the best one? Or one of the 2011 releases?
Thanks.

The error with the emergency recovery is easy to bypass, when the ROM is downloaded and Kies shows that error, choose the emergency option that Kies offers, disconnect the phone and don't close Kies, re-enter Download mode on the device and connect to kies again, it will download the ROM again and flash the device.
Regarding costume ROMS, I don't use any so I don't know much about them, I suggest that you try the stock ROM before trying any costume ROM.
There's no emergency recovery ... It's literally KEIS trying to download the new updates from Samsungs servers. It's soooo slow and fails constantly.
OTA Update had broken my root so I was in the process of flashing the OUDHS recovery found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40807244) and it failed. Since then, I cannot get Odin to recognize the phone, nor will Kies pick it up, though it does try to connect to it with no luck. I also get this screen: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...pdate-fw-upgrade-encountered-issue-images.jpg
I'm pretty sure I'm screwed, but maybe somebody knows something I don't and I can try to fix this without having to go to Sprint with it. Since the Binary says custom, I don't know if they'll believe me if I try to pass it off as a botched OTA update.
Thanks in advance.
one thing you can try is put the update.zip on your sd card and flash with stock recovery.
you are saying the phone won't even boot correct?
I would also try rebooting your pc and re-installing the Samsung Drivers. Sorry to see you're in a quagmire.

Alright, Lemme lay it out for you guys.
I rooted my phone about 3 weeks ago, and then unrooted it because, even though I'm learning, I didn't see the point in having root because I didn't want to brick my device. So along comes the update (I337UCUAMF3). I downloaded and installed it and at the end it told me that it failed (I'm not sure why, my device status was "Official"), although I noticed several changes in the UI including the status bar on the top of the screen being transparent instead of black. It was working, although I still wanted to flash to stock. I had rooted and changed a font that I wanted to change back, and so I tried flashing it (with Odin 3.07) and got an error (put it into "downloading..." mode, the error reads "SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 2 , Binary : 1". I restarted it and it got stuck on the AT&T logo. I tried to flash it again and this time I tried to do it with Kies and now it's stuck on the Kies error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." If any of you need pictures I can produce them. Can ANYONE help me figure this out. I'm a tech and so when I find a problem, I can't stop working on it until I fix it. I got 2 hours of sleep last night because of this, took a vacation day from work, and I just want to fix it. Thank you in advance for all of your guys help!!
P.S. If I don't take the battery out, it won't turn off. I think it's called a bootloop. If I try T Flash on Odin, I get an error message that says "Not found boot image in sdcard". I have a boot.img on my sdcard, but I'm not sure if it's in root because I can't get into my phone to get to my file explorer.
You might try to Wipe Data/Factory Reset from recovery mode (hold Vol_up while it reboot).
then do odin or kies again. I am not saying it's fix ,but nothing to lose to try.

No i still get the "Downloading..." screen.
Unfortunately you may be stuck.
In most normal circumstances, you can put your phone into Odin / Download mode by holding Volume Down as you power on the phone. (Recovery is Volume Up and Power). Once in Odin mode, you would launch the Odin application (Odin v3.07 is latest). You would also make sure the Samsung drivers are installed. Then you'd open Odin, and click on PDA and select a odin md5 file which contains every partition basically your phone uses, recovery, system, data, etc, as they were from factory. (Found here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I337 )If it doesn't boot from there, it should then allow you to boot recovery and you can go to wipe data/factory reset, then the device would boot.
The only issue is that only "AMDB" and "AMDL" firmware is available as a Odin package. AMF3 is not. And if AMF3 is installed, it updates the bootloader on the device. Odin checks the bootloader on the device before it flashes everything, and if it's a newer version than what it's trying to flash (Ex if you try flashing AMDL, and AMF3 is already applied), then it will error out and not work.
Kies is hit and miss. People were restoring through Kies, not sure how. I usually avoid Kies myself. You can try putting the phone into Download Mode and hooking it up to Kies from there and see what happens.
So: You can try Odin, however if the AMF3 bootloader was applied then you're out of luck there until a AMF3 Odin package is out.

Nope. Odin as part of PDA tries to flash the Bootloader. The Bootloader button is the same, but for Bootloader only as opposed to the entire system.
If your patient and can wait someone may come out with a unlock tool for AMF3, or another work around, or a Odin image of AMF3. May be a while though. There are more advanced users on here besides myself that may have insite that may allow you to get back on AMF3 stock images but to my knowledge you're stuck without a AMF3 odin image.
You could always go to your carrier store and say "The phone updated the other day and now wont boot after the update". It's the truth. See what they say.

Well I went to AT&T and had to order a replacement because I "lost" my other one lol. I have my new one and I was going to update it because I have no interest in rooting this one (I was hoping to wait until the other problem got solved by someone and make that one my test device.) and I wanted the extra LTE bands that MF3 provides. Alas, there isn't a software update available. Did AT&T pull I337UCUAMF3 off the market? If not, do you know why I wouldn't be able to see it?

Well. That's one way to do it. Just buying another phone outright. Eventually a odin image for AMF3 will be released and you can unbrick the old one.
AMF3 is still out there. Sometimes takes a day or two for phone to see the update.
You can flash AMF3 modem while still keeping the Loki-vulnerable AMDL bootloader. That's what I did. I did get some gain and speed on LTE and a little better signal strength (maybe placebo effect) from the AMF3 modem.
IMHO on the new phone I would root and run Goldeneye...Keep AMDL bootloader. Goldeneye is the same as AMF3 stock firmware essentially, but sped up, and you can run it without updating the AMF3 bootloader.

Does anyone know where to find an Odin MF3 ROM?
Please don't make multiple threads on the same thing, not good for business.
I recently bit off more than I could chew with my S4 (I337). I had 4.4.2 KitKat on it and wanted to root it to add teathering. I decided thought there was no root for 4.4.2 so I thought I would try downgrading to 4.3 then root. This seemed best because I didn't like the way the SD card is handled in 4.4.2 and some of my apps (like ftp server) have stopped working.
When I got the phone back up from flashing with Odin it says it has version 4.3. My WiFi will not turn on. If I slide the switch to on it slides right back to off and the phone tells me that an operation was block (can't remember the full verbage. I have installed and attempted to install many things on my phone. I have used recovery mode / Odin3 and Kies (Kies doesn't allow much).
At this point I just would like to get my phone back to 4.4.2 with the WiFi working. Then I can restore my backup and be back to square one with a lesson learned.
I have an I337 that currently thinks it has version 4.3 on it. The baseband version is I337UCUFNC1 currently. The build number is JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I have read and tried many things over a two day period and finally decided to ask for help.
Had this issue before on my Bell Canada S4, but don't recall exact way to fix it.
Think the solution was to find an older (might be newer) stock. I think I used a different version like the Telus Canada version as well and it ended up working. Then you update through kies after.

Wifi does not work because of the modem/kernel mismatch, i.e. MDB modem and MK2 kernel. Not sure what your goal was when you began flashing your phone but since you fortunately did not flash teh MK2 bootloader you are still able to locate the MDB full odin tar and flash back to stock which will resolve your issue.

If you don't care about losing your MDB unlocked bootloader you can get to the latest kitkat firmware by flashing the NB1 full odin tar from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223, then once flashing is complete go to settings/more/about phone/software update then take the ota update to NC1 which is the latest kitkat version for our phone.
But what I would do is keep your unlocked MDB bootloader and since you already flashed the MK2 AP file you can get your phone running well again by flashing the MK2 modem: https://mega.co.nz/#!pwESna5I!YK7EKG37xXIG1ReB-Z-mfSMoXNkXQ9t2EdMK9ofgJKg
From there, there are still a number of options available to get to kitkat which I won't get into.

I recently bit off more than I could chew with my S4 (I337). I had 4.4.2 KitKat on it and wanted to root it to add teathering. I decided thought there was no root for 4.4.2 so I thought I would try downgrading to 4.3 then root. This seemed best because I didn't like the way the SD card is handled in 4.4.2 and some of my apps (like ftp server) have stopped working.
When I got the phone back up from flashing with Odin it says it has version 4.3. My WiFi will not turn on. If I slide the switch to on it slides right back to off and the phone tells me that an operation was block (can't remember the full verbage. I have installed and attempted to install many things on my phone. I have used recovery mode / Odin3 and Kies (Kies doesn't allow much).
At this point I just would like to get my phone back to 4.4.2 with the WiFi working. Then I can restore my backup and be back to square one with a lesson learned.
I have an I337 that currently thinks it has version 4.3 on it. The baseband version is I337UCUFNC1 currently. The build number is JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I have read and tried many things over a two day period and finally decided to ask for help.

Quite a few steps in those threads but I got it working again. I really appreciate all the help/advice given. Now to decide if I want to remove the safestrap screen on boot. Again Thanks.

excited to give this a try. rooted with the downgrade method a couple months ago but left with a non-wifi device. my only issue is that the thread says it's for I337UCUFNC1 and our devices are on jss15j.i337ucuemk2. will this fix still work? I've heard on other threads on the subject that the modem kernel doesn't match up with the flashed rom or build number or something.

Do you already fix it??? cause i have the same problem
Same question, different thread!
Not even an hour ago did I answer the same question in a different thread: How do I get WiFi working on my S4?
Well here you go.
My original answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-4-4-2-nb1-t2850878/post54978150#post54978150
The problem is, in order to get WiFi working, you need to install the NB1 modules, but to do that, you need to install Safestrap. However, you can not install Safestrap because the app keeps closing on you. There is a simple fix to this, which I will explain later. For now, just read this WHOLE post BEFORE you do anything, and keep in mind that I am NOT held liable if you mess up your phone. Use this at your own risk.
1.) Root your phone
If you're already rooted with something like SuperSU or Superuser, skip this. If not, read ahead. Download and install the Towelroot APK file attached to this post, open it, and click 'make it ra1n'. If your phone didn't reboot, now you have root (they need to trademark that). Now, down below, I also included the APK for SuperSU. Download and install it. Now open it. When you open it, let it install the 'Normal' way, not via the 'TWRP/CWM' way. Also, when it asks you to disable KNOX, say yes, wait a couple of minutes (it will still be loading) and reboot your phone. Open up SuperSU again, click 'Yes' to disable KNOX again, and now you have a good base to start from.
2.) Install Safestrap AFTER fixing the error
The error your are getting is easily fixed. Go to the Play Store and install 'SELinux Mode Changer'. Open it, grant it root access, and change the mode to 'Permissive'. Now, open up Safestrap again (you mentioned you already installed it), and it shouldn't force close. Click 'Install', and if the 'Reboot to Recovery' option below is not grayed out after that then it worked.
3.) Download and install the NB1 modules
On your phone, download the included NB1 modules ZIP file I attached for you, and once that is done you need to reboot. After the Galaxy S4 logo, you'll see a screen that says 'SAFESTRAP: DISABLED' and there will be a little robot. TIP: To enter Safestrap, press the menu button (physical, hardware key) under 'Recovery' at that screen. To continue to Android, press the back key (again, physical) under the 'System' tab. For now, press the menu button under 'Recovery'. Now, click 'Install' which should be in red, click 'Add zips', and navigate to your Downloads folder. Now click on the NB1 modules ZIP you just downloaded. Swipe to install, and reboot. This time, hit the back key under 'System'.
All done!
Now, Android should (and will) boot up, and you'll have working WiFi! If, for some odd reason, you don't have WiFi- do NOT panic! Just search around for the MF3 modules and flash those! All is good, all is good. A lot of this guide was taken from my post about my personal method of SIM unlocking the AT&T Galaxy S4 without the dialer codes or an AT&T SIM. It was just modified a little to work for you.
Remember, hit thanks!

Those are my exact words. Also, the attached files (NB1 modules, SuperSU, Towelroot, etc.) can be found attached to my post in the link above. Have a good night, and best of luck! :good::good::good:

See the thread I started with a similar problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/help/rogers-samsung-s4-4-2-2-i337m-wifi-t3256535
Would I be able to use this fix?
So im gonna take the OTA for NG2 again and before I unroot and flash it this time isnt there a way I can pull the update from my files after i download it so people can use it to flash the update manually from their external sd card without waiting for the OTA?
There is a way to do so by allowing your phone to download the update file and then pull it from cache, but I'm not sure of the details.
@frostedunit Yeah I already did it lol and it works. But now my problem is I flashed it multiple times and it doesn't update my baseband or software to NG2 it only changes my build number. Also i cant turn on wifi.. it says "Your phones security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required"?
Good old Samsung trying to lock their **** down like Apple.
Don't suppose you could try to pull the modem files the way you did for NAE? I probably won't get the update till the last darn day.
That's only thing I really wanted to do was update to the latest modem lol. But I would need some directions on how to do it.
I opened up the update.zip file and found 2 files called
modem.bin.img.p
NON-HLOS.bin.img.p
I'm pretty sure you have to have the modem active, but see if this jogs your memory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50294725
OK I know how to do that but I still have the same NAE modem on my phone. After I took the NG2 OTA should my modem have updated to NG2 also or stay at NAE?
I would think so. If you saved the update from cache, you could try flashing it in recovery and then factory resetting to see if it sticks.
I tried that lol that's what worked for me on the NAE update to get the modem to flash but now I took the OTA and then manually flashed the update from my external sd card multiple times and keep getting the same results. I'll try a couple more times to see if it sticks.
If I can get the modem to flash correctly I can pull it by following the directions in the link that you posted.
Are you flashing with a custom recovery or stock? You should have to rename the file update.zip and put it on the root of your internal storage and use the stock recovery to get it to work.
(I'm just throwing things out there. I'm in no way implying that you don't know what you're doing, just trying to work through this.)
Yeah I forgot to change the name that might help lol and yeah I used stock recovery it actually updated my recovery on the first flash to NG2.
Still isn't working.. I'll keep trying but I'll probably end up waiting for the .tar file to be released. Either this update doesn't update the modem and software to say NG2 or the stock recovery is just having trouble flashing it.
Edit
There is an option in recovery to apply update from adb if I knew how to do that it would probably work.

I still think it's really crazy that this update blocks our phone from using wifi.. that's serious lol.

Probably some security crap with the mismatch between the build and baseband numbers.
Thanks for giving it a shot!
I updated through adb sideload and still no new modem lol.
Problem solved
I downgraded to MK2 modem and then reflashed NAE modem and took the update again from my external sd card and the NG2 modem stuck this time lol.
And it also fixed my wifi problem
