What is currently the latest UK I9505 firmware at the moment. I have I9505XXUAMDM, but see I9505XXUBMGA floating around being the latest UK firmware, but I don't see it in Kies or OTA.
Thanks

Hi,
MDM is really quite old now.
If you have not got the option to OTA upgrade,you might consider the Pre-rooted ROM
You still remain "Official".

Best thing to do imho is uninstall Kies (except the drivers) and flash whatever unbranded Euro rom you want with Odin 3.04. See www.sammobile.com/firmware/1 for available roms.
Thanks, think I'll flash with odin

The latest German unbranded DBT MGA rom is very good, running it myself :good:
Im on Vodafone UK and my phone was still MDM without any kies updates. but had issue with sd slot so sent for repair it came back with MEA which defaults of Korean or something.
I think this is the latest uk Firmware I9505XXUBMGA i flashed it in odin cos kies dont like me lol
i have it in dropbox if u need it quick
I could do with MGA as well please. I'm still stuck on MDM.

Hello XDA Forumer,
If you are a little crazy like me who is having fun playing around with your Samsung Galaxy Ace, then you've thought of going back to froyo as well after applying 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) or any ROM.
Here's the tutorial: http://s.chinoyray.com/groups/samsu...lashing-back-to-froyo-2-2-1-from-gingerbread/
Yeaahh me too just flash back to froyo.. Wanna feel to get official gingerbread release maybe this upcoming month..
twitter @samfirmware to get more update for Ace..

and other method if you want to back stock froyo
download S5830XWKB7 MULTI-CSC-OXXKB6 2.2.1 @ samfirmware.com,
flash it succesfully and then open your ace, now "call" *#272*YOUR-IMEI#
and change CSC correct (in Finland we use NEE), now you can get updates over kies!

When CM7 comes do we have to flash back to froyo or we can easily switch from our custom ROMs based on xxkph to CM7?
love this post bro..
salamat..malaking tulong to sa mga kababayan nten..lalo na sa mga ace users..

A bricked phone means even if you press POWER+HOME button or POWER+HOME+VOLUME DOWN and nothing happened even if your phone is fully charged, then that is bricked. If it's bricked, you cannot do anything to your phone now. Say bye bye to it.
BUT
If you press POWER+HOME or POWER+HOME+VOLUME DOWN buttons and your phone went to recovery or download mode, then it is not bricked and you can just reflash any firmware you want to restore. Upgrade, downgrade, it's all up to you.

No need to flash back to froyo. In theory, you can move to a Custom ROM based on the dev's requirement. (XXKPH for Gingerreal as an example)

unable to check for firmware update thru kies
Hello,
I'm from Malaysia. I've successfully downgraded my phone from gingerbread KPH to froyo DXKC1. When I connect my phone to KIES, it says that this firmware cannot be upgraded. May I know what am I missing here? I was hoping to check for official firmware upgrade thru KIES.

SEA ginger isn't listed on KIES, yet. but you can call your local SSC and ask them about ginger upgrade. most of them already have new SEA ginger (well atleast in indonesia).
try re-flasing (please make sure that you use full package / complete file.
i've tried once, from KPH (blackhawk rom), to DXKC1, succeed, kies can detect my phone normally and chek for update.
i got a case of bad luck though. earlier today. bricked my ace from going from fla.shX2.2 to DXKC1 (the same file i use previously)

You must install csc for your country. *#272*imei#
Then select your csc and click install. Of course this only works is you flashed a multi csc with your country in it.

that would be the case if you have in place any custom rom;you ought to be on pure stock meant for your region for Kies to support updates.

thanks for the reply, can you help me what to do to be able to reuse samsun Kies and do the official update
you need to have the stock firmware which is JVT latest one go to sammobile.com
and download JVO then install from kies and then upgrade to JVT
Probably you don' t have a stock rom.You have to flash a stock rom with odin.

Stay with the BTU ones, the ones from Carrier get updated very very slowly. Even my Carrier didn't receive 3 รก 4 updates for i9505.
Ok, but my point being that the carrier ones have received 2/3 updates in the time since my last one, my last one being April...

Ive rooted my SGS5 GT-I9505, un-installed some preinstalled app but now when I try to do an OTA it gives me the error: Your Device is modified, no software update available, Someone answered my question abut it and it seems that I need to install Unroot my phone. Base on the artice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 it says that I need to Flash Carrier Network, My question is do you have stock firmaware for my carrier. Im using Globe (Philippines). How do I do that? Thanks.

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?
Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds
