galaxy s firmware problem

Hi im new to these forums as i have just bought a galaxy s second hand,
anyways the problem is when i connect it to kies to try and update the firmware it says the current firmware is: blank <as in nothing>
tried kies 1.5 and 2.0 same thing it picks up the phone but wont pick up the firmware,
im guessing somethings been done to this phone, all i want is the stock firmware and to be able to update in the future, nothing fancy. please help.

Find what version your stock firmware is and flash it with odin. You can download the firmware from samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

i dont know if this helps but it says
pda: i9000xxjpo
phone: i9000xxjpp
csc: unknown
build info: 2010, 10
firmware version
2.2
baseband version
i9000xxjpp
kernel
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
build
froyo.xxjpo
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?

Stock firmware = basic unbranded unaltered firmware as supplied by Samsung .
Network firmware is above plus any network branding plus add on that the network have added .
So you have stock firmware .
now which one is my stock firmware and can this be updated via kies once ive done it through odin?
No if you use Kies it will look for the phones product code to update product code is tied to seller/network of original phone .
What is your product code .
Question has to be what do you want on your phone re firmware and are you willing to use flashing methods or not .
jje

thanks for the reply,
now how do i find the product code?
from what i know about the phone is that it used to be on vodaphone and is now sim free, the guy who sold it to me told me he had 2.3 on there but reverted it before selling, i dont see how he managed to do this using kies?
what i would like is to be able to update it through kies to 2.2.1 which is what my gf has on her phone, and make it readable for future updates, if i have to use flashing methods to achieve this then so be it, or is there another way if i can get the product code?

Enter *2767*4387264636# in your dialer.
Then there will be a line that says:
[2] PCode:"your phone model type"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+Registry+Patcher
You are best to try above and see how you get on .
As its non stock firmware you may need to spoof the product details etc .
If the download of the firmware works take the opportunity to save the rom as in instructions .
jje

pcode: gt-i9000hkaxee

There is no such sales-code, just flash to the latest JPY and you are set..the phone you have has been flashed to Nordic firmware sales-code XEE at some point, the sales-code for Voda is GT-I9000HKDVOD or GT-I9000HKAVOD.
After flashing enter in phone-dialer the following: *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and choose XEU.

9000 [Sweden] = GT-I9000HKAXEE
Product code for Sweden.

ok this is disappointing news, i am sorry i am really new to all this, but does this mean il never be able to update through kies, and will need to keep flashing to update the phone?
do i still try the kies registry patcher thing or forget about it?

Are you swedish in sweden or where what product firmware do you want .

Ofcourse you can use kies in the future, but after you have corrected the sales-code. You might be able to do it now, just enter *#272*IMEI_NUMBER# and try to see if you can choose XEU.

i am from the uk london to be exact, and i just wanted the latest kies firmware, like my gf has 2.2.1 i will try the code you gave me now and post back

ok i tried that with the imei and it said rejected

Check the IMEI number under Settings>About phone>Status , see if it is correct. You must enter the number without slashes or spaces.

The latest Kies firmware for your phone is Swedish .
Kies reads your phone and servers sees Swedish product code and wrong firmware so it does not proceed .
Choice is one use Odin and put the latest stock non network Firmware on phone
problem will be its not going to update in the future via Kies as Kies will be trying to update the firmware thats Swedish .
two change your product code
three use Kies registry patcher to spoof your phone to a UK branded phone
same as one you wil not get a further update but need to spoof again .
Example current )2 uk firmware with very little branding/ad ons by O2 .

He did state that the phone was on vodaphone, GT-I9000HKDO2U is an O2 sales code, I did suggest XEU because vodaphone codes are GT-I9000HKAVOD or GT-I9000HKDVOD, in this case he has GT-I9000HKAXXX, and while changing the sales code only the last three letters would change. If he does change that to O2 code then it will change to GT-I9000HKAO2U then keis will not recognize the phone again, because there is no such sales-code.

My friend, download JPY from here: http://www.multiupload.com/UHJNT0K1F2 Extracting code is samfirmware.com
Flash using odin 1.7 : http://www.multiupload.com/JMBJGDN00I
Load the extracted tar file in odin as PDA and flash, after that enter the recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Use the images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 as reference if you did not use odin before, but you must start odin, load the tar file as PDA and then put the phone on download phone before connecting the phone and flashing.
Entering download mode is by pressing and holding Volume down key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to download mode.
Entering recovery mode is by pressing and Volume up key + Home key and then pressing and holding Power on key till you get to recovery mode, navigate using Volume op/down keys and select using Home key.
Good luck..

Note 8 N5100 Downgrading 4.2.2 to 4.1.2

I Downgraded My 5100 from Stock 4.2.2 (OXA/DBT) Germany Back to 4.1.2 Stock (INU) INDIA. Which is perfectly being detected by Kies.
I stuck with 4.2.2 for about 9 days, but we couldn't reach a compromise.
So here are some of findings and (some info for new users like me on how to do that)
Findings:
1:S-pen accuracy is back bringing a big smile on my face.
2: Battery Drain: All is can say is just picked up the note after 2 hours idling and battery was down by merely 2% (this is with Wifi on and cell radio all the time, as well as news widget and things running. I am pretty certain with juice defender kinda app id be able to get it down bit further as compared to 4.2.2 eating much more like 2%/H or more just idling. It also seems to be better while using the note.
*************************************************************************************************************************************
Downgrading if you updated to OXA/DBT ROM and you are not from Germany or other supported Open europe Region.
*************************************************************************************************************************************
1. Get a Copy of the 4.1.2 Stock Rom for your device and country **Important Double check that you have the correct file.
2. *** BackUp your SD Card Data however way you can (if unrooted like me), I Lost some of my sketchbook pro stuff and some other because they don't store those in default locations and the HELIUM backup app did not back up those tif files.
3. Once you sure you ready, wipe the factory /data from settings or booting into recovery (might be necessary , but i did this nevertheless)
4. if you wiped the data, then start note and make sure USB debugging in enabled in developer options (enable them by the 7 tap method on the build label in about).
5.power off the tablet and boot into ODIN download mode (You should already know this, but anyways, Hold Power, Vol Down and Home button until android options appear , then hit up on volume to agree,
6. Launch Odin (3.07 or similar) on PC (as administrator) and then plug in the USB Cable
7. Some com port name should appear first box on top in some color (mine is com:6)
8: Make sure reboot and Reset f.time options are the ones only checked.
9: Click PDA button to load the .tar.md5 file you downloaded (You need to extract these from the Zip file you loaded (zip should have a tar.md5 file and another dll file)).
10. Wait for Odin it to verify the file.
11. Once Odin has Verified the File, you can hit the start button to start flashing. and once it completes (take few minutes) Reboot. the Note
12. If you seem to be stuck at samsung logo animation after reboot, don't panic (cause i did already), hold the power button until the device turns off, then boot it into recovery mode (hold home, volume up and power button and release once you see android logo)
13. use volume to select wipe / data factory reset and hit power button to confirm , confirm again. and it should say erasing and be ready for you in a minute or so. (btw Do not panic if it says applying Multi-CSC (DBT) instead of your region one)
14. Boot into the tablet and set up your settings config etc and you should now be running 4.1.2 again and it should have also changed the CSC which can be checked by dialing #*1234# and later you can check it kies as well.
Hope it helps others new to note 8 downgrading, if need ever be.

i read your topic after i downgrading my note because of the battery in 4.2.2 is very bad and the s-pen accuracy was incredible i hope sam will make the 4.3 more good

I am at 15h 20m 39s battery and still have a 58% Charge with 4.2.2
That's about the same if not better than 4.1.2 gave me. with Wifi,cellular and sync on,
I am however rooted and use Greenify and SetCPU.
I bet you have something is running that is preventing deep sleep. Possibly even a stock app. like that horrid Google Music app.

15 hours screen on or idle and what frequency you use in set cpu (do you undervoltaging ? )

How would I know which country FILE I need to download to downgrade to 4.1.2. Original BASEBAND was N5100UBBMC7, BUILD NUMBER was JZO54K.N5100UBBMC8. Google and Bing zero result searching these numbers.

don't get that why downgrade to 4.2.2, having move to SD feature alone is one reason I am excited about, of course my Note 8 is wifi, which 4.2.2 is not officially available yet. If you waiting for 4.3, good luck for that since we all know how sammy is way too slow releasing new firmware compare to others..

I just wanted the S-PEN to be accurate and increase battery usage. My GT-N5100 battery life lasted longer on 4.1.2. The last thing I want to do is brick my device flashing a different country code. Thanks.

You won't brick just by using a different country's firmware, the only risk is if you flash the wrong models, flagging a 5100 firmware on a 5120 for example, "may" give you problems.

Country: Chile

So I probably can pick any of these countries firmware to downgrade from Germany firmware 4.2.2

Pretty much, what country is your Note from?
The only caution I would recommend you take is to back up your internal SD, I had to perform a reset after down grading, but I'm not sure if it was something to do with some of the root tweaks I had applied, that may have not wiped/loaded the modules correctly, causing the boot loops I had.
Either way I was forced to do it.

This may work as a last resort if OXA firmware has not yet overridden your csc (by DBT).
Reboot into recovery and once at the recovery screen: note the applying csc / multi CSC message. If you lucky it still should show your original firmware CSC code, find the corresponding country for that code and is should likely be your original firmware (do compare other parameters too though).

With all the help everyone's providing me, it should be cake walk in the park. I did your recommended procedure, boot into recovery, power button, vol up and home button. I think the country code got replaced with DBT.
#MANUAL MODE#
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-Code: DBT
Successfully Applied Multi-CSC
I think the default country got overridden when I ODIN flashed the DBT 4.2.2.
I'll just have to wait till someone figure out how to align the S-PEN
again, thanks

downloaded 4.1.2 CHO, flashed via odin, soon as it went into Samsung Boot Loop, power button, vol up and home, wipe data/factory reset, phone rebooted, and deja vu, its in the same place when I first turned it on. No more S-PEN misalignment.

so.. worth it upgrade to 4.2.2 or stick with 4.1.2 since we have s-pen accuracy and battery drain?

My personal view, stick with 4.1.2 the battery drain is enough of a reason on its own to not upgrade.

I second your recommendation, if op insist on upgrading to 4.2.2, my suggestion would be to write down all info, Build Number, Baseband Version and CSC code, download the 4.1.2 firmware based on csc code and tuck it away somewhere in case he/she not happy with the misaligned s-pen.
my previous post explain how I got back to 4.1.2.
maybe its a better idea to just wait if 4.3 should come out.

yeah stick with 4.1.2, on 4.2.2, spen accuracy & android/obb folder is write protected lil bit annoying

im on 422... but not found a problem with spen.. it work normaly.. the best thing i can move almost all my games and apps on my external memory...

Just got my note 8 back from samsung after display and motherboard replacement and have just installed (4.2.2) officially released firmware for my region (INU). just for kicks for a few days to see if anything improved, otherwise back to 4.1.2.
I still see s-pen offset. it's a tiny offset and most people might not even notice that , but if you are into drawing stuff you'll notice that when the lines don't start from the point you want them to. basically that tiny circle you see when you bring spen close to screen, the pen tip seems to be aligned along on the outer edge instead of it's dead center.
One thing I have noticed in first 10-12 hours is that the standby battery consumption seems to have dropped significantly which is a good thing, Hope it stays like that.

No Signal after 4.4.2 update

Hey Guys,
Today I updated my i9505 from Cynogen Mod 10.3.1 to the new "[AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.1" by Jamal, but I read that you needed to update to the leaked 4.4.2 before flashing so that the modem and bits are upto date before flashing any 4.4.2 ROMs or else you could end up with no wifi after flashing.
So I followed these instructions to flash the leaked 4.4.2:
INSTRUCTIONS
- Extract (unzip) the firmware file
- Download Odin3 v3.09 (From here or here)
- Extract Odin .ZIP file
- Open Odin3 v3.09
- Restart phone in download mode (Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add AP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 to AP
- Add BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 to BL
- Add CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 to CP
- Add CSC_OXA_I9505OXAFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 to CSC
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click start button, sit back and wait a few minutes.
Which all went well but I couldn't get Wifi after flashing, and (probably not important) but the default language it choose during the setup was Dutch??? Seeing as I couldnt get the wifi to enable I decided to flash Philz Touch Recovery v6 and then put Jamal's "S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.1" by putting it onto the SD card and flashing through Philz recovery.
Flashing went without a problem.... only thing is now I cant get Vodafone (UK) signal 80% of the time, the other 20% I do get signal and can make calls, just seems strange as previously 80% I WOULD get signal!
Did I do something wrong? I had a really bad feeling that flashing the CP, BL and CSC has somehow messed things up......please help!

2) Open Odin 3.09 and do the following:
Ok it worked.
If anyone else is having issues with the baseband not changing, do this.
Use Odin v3.04
Untick Autoreboot
Flash modem
Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)
Flash Modem once more
Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.
If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.

Now I have FULL SIGNAL! .....so far..... will report back once I have left work but this is a good sign as I had no signal what-so-ever 5 minutes ago!

Flasing a 4.4.2 Modem works well with the Kit Kat based roms. Two to choose from NA1 or NA5, depending on what bootloader your on flash the appropriate modem files.
I've got NA5 on the 4.4.2 GE Rom with Three and no signal issues as of yet.

Hey Guys,
Today I updated my i9505 from Cynogen Mod 10.3.1 to the new "[AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.1" by Jamal, but I read that you needed to update to the leaked 4.4.2 before flashing so that the modem and bits are upto date before flashing any 4.4.2 ROMs or else you could end up with no wifi after flashing.

I think u missunderstood something. For the Kitkat Google Edition u do not have to flash the leak before. Its only for the Samsung Touchwiz Version of Kitkat

I flashed the NA5 modem which seems to have failed the first time round, as it didnt actually change the baseband version in settings. Since flashing a second time (when it actual flashed properly) I now have full signal...... but I have another problem now:
When I click the dailer and select a person to call, the screen goes black and I dont see/hear any indication that a call has initiated. I tried with my wife and her phone rings and she can answer the call, but my screen is still black with no sound....
I have tried wiping data / davlik / cache and installing the rom from scratch, but I still get the same issue?
UPDATE:
Right so I just flashed CM11 as a test, and still can't make calls, so obviously not a ROM fault..... does the BL, CP or CSC have anything to do with the making calls procress?

I've got a similar issue.
I've got a M919V running Jamal's 4.3 GPE rom, but after flashing Jamal's 4.4.2 GPE i get no signal. After going into settings and selecting network the signal lasts, but after the screen goes off signal is once again lost.
Is there a procedure to follow that will fix this? This is found when when flashing many 4.4 roms.
-Thanks

Well, I get signal when I'm near a cell tower...
No changes tho. Still same problem.

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if you have resolved your modem problems?
I flashed to Jamal's 4.4.2 version 1.2 and I don't have a signal now.
I flashed the modem to NA5 but styill no signal. Also I can't even check my CSC using *#1234# as "Mobile network not available"
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Duskin,
For me, I think it's releated to the phone itself as I got a screen replacement. I haven't solved the problem yet because I got to get back to the store where I got my screen replaced.

BIG PROBLEM with Security Credencials

Hi i got my s4 with AOSB custom rom 4.4.2 on old bootloader.I checked sammobile if there is official kitkat firmware for my country and there is with this stats.
PDA: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505EURFNB1
MODEM: I9505XXUFNB9
Added: 2014-03-04
I follow the standar procedure and i open ODIN 3.09 and i put the tar file in AP module.Everything went smooth.When phone booted i was that wifi wasnt working properly because odin for some reason couldnt flash the modem firmware from the firmware file.So my quest continues and i found the NB9 modem firmware for my phone and i flashed it.WIFI problem solved and i was so happy but untill now i cant understand why odin in the first place didnt flash the modem.Anyway the real problem now is that when i go to security>lockscreen settings >all the option are gray (face unlock pattern etc) and i ahve a message that says that the administrator has disabled this. I went to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and i Deactivate all programs there.Then i went back to Security and click clear credentials at the bottom of the page.No luck with that procedure
I dont know what to do but my guess is that my phone is from France and i live in Greece,maybe because i flashed greek firmware in a french phone all things was messed up?If that's the issue how can i solve this thing?French firmwares are on 4.3 and as i know i cant downgrade from 4.4.2 Please help me
Note:I have rooted the phone by the way and removed Knox still no luck

You can do this (If you have STOCK ROM android 4.4.2 installed):
1. Conect it to Kies 3 for know ur CSC (Close CSC you will see 3 letters btw parenthesis)
2. Make a backup of ur data folders of ur Internal Memory
3. Install this app HERE (Rooted device needed)
4. Select ur CSC (Letters of the 1st step)
5. The program will reboot ur phone. Tell us how it work

If you want to use the security settings you have to flash the new bootloader i guess

SAMSUNG NOTE 3 SM9005ZSUGOL1 PROBLEM AFTER LOLLIPOP UPDATE via KIES/ SMARTSWITCH

Hi Guys, Please I need your help.
I purchased a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (LTE Hongkong TGY Variant) in the Philippines.
Its is not rooted. Android version still at 4.3 when i bought it.
Tried to update it via OTA at 32% it will fail and then reboot. No changes will be made after the reboot.
I tried to update it via Samsung Kies / Smartswitch it worked.
From Android Jellybean 4.3 , I updated it to Android Lollipop 5 via Kies / Smartswitch.
But........
After the update If i will use or touch a certain application the phone will start to reboot by itself.
This happens very often like every 15 minutes.
The batter drains fast and the device heats up like crazy when i use the camera or i open up a game app then it will reboot automatically.
-Tried to do a soft and hard reset already by pressing volume up, menu key & power of button,
I cleared the cache and wiped user data already. But still nothing has changed.
-Tried to re-update the handset via USB on Smartswitch for Android 5 Lollipop but its still the same.
Here are my Note 3 handset info:
-Handset is from Hongkong(TGY)
-Baseband Version before the update: N9005XXUBMI5 (Android 4.3)
-Baseband Version after the update: N9005ZSUGOL1 (Android 5) ( i provided a screenshot)
-Is it safe to update the phone via Odin 3.10, then get a Firmware from Sammobile then flash it?
-The phone is from Hongkong (TGY), should i choose a Firmware from Hongkong? Or Is it ok to choose a Firmware from the Philippines? since i am here right now.
-Is it okay to downgrade from Android 5 to Android 4.3 or 4.4.2? ( Would you recommend it or no?, others are saying if i have upgraded my handset to the latest android update I cannot go back anymore to a lower Android version, if i do i might encounter problems or worst case i might brick the phone.
-If possible i do not want to root my handset, but if it is needed im willing to do it.
Please guys , i need your expertise on this. I really need your help badly to get my phone on its working state again.
Your reply and tutorials will be much appreciated.
Thank you and more power.
