updating to froyo which one and how

Got a galaxy S i9000 yesterday and i am looking at updating it to Froyo. When checking for update using kies it says there are no updates available. The only other option is by tricking kies into thinking there is.
pressing *#1234# shows
pda i900jpjg8
phone : i9000jxjg2
csc : i9000jpjg9
IN Settings > About Phone > Baseband Version it shows i9000jxjg2
The phone is unlocked and unbranded.
Can Someone please point in the right direction as what would be the best way to flash froyo on it? I know tricking kies is there but what should i trick it to exactly? What code to use?
/Edit : Which is the best product code to enter for kies to flash froyo? With all these choices there must be 1 ROM that is open and quite good.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

This is the thread for patching Kies for Froyo, there are different Roms for different regions, you need to decide which region's Rom you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628

most of the ROMS in there are for certain carriers in certain country. Isnt there a ROM that universal and can be used for any phone. If i were to say pick an european ROM which would be the best one to go for. no carrier branding nothing.
thanks for replying.

Check out this thread and instructions you will have the European upgrade with this. (post 80)

I referred to the same thread and flashed my SGS with this link

Now the phone language is Chinese.! I think the MODEM and CSC files for India are different.
Pls help.

try to change csc from phone
type *#272*IMEI#
where imei is your imei code, from there select your csc, phone will reboot and make a factory reset.

Tried changing CSC from phone..
It says "UNKOWN APPLICATION" after entering the code.

Any help corgar?

Firmware version - 2.2
Baseband version - I9000DDJP2
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number - FROYO.DDJP6
i guess this is indian version of froyo

I9000DDJP6|2.2|2010 November|Download Link1 or Link2
but i can't check if it's a full package, if not you need to flash first another full rom like jm9 then upgrade to ddjp6

Thanks corgar,
I am downloading the same package. Lets see if it has the MODEM and CSC.

another way you can take is using kies registry hack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
choose your csc and patch registry. After open kies and try to flash. But for me kies is evil i still prefer flashing via odin

after some searching product code for indian is I9000 [India] = GT-I9000HKAINU
you need to patch INU then.
hope this will help

Downloaded the I9000DDJP6 firmware but it doesn't have MODEM and CSC.
Downloaded the KIES Registry hack and Spoofed it to INU. Which you said is India.
Now KIES says Firmware upgrade is available. And its showing,
Latest Version: PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JP2 / CSC:JP5
Is it correct? Is this the one for India?

try to search in general section but i think it's the indian one.

Its kind of weird that i m spoofing KIES to India only and it says Update available and without spoofing it says no update. Kies is really evil...!

Checked in the general section. Its the same PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JP2 / CSC:JP5 for India.
Dont know why i cant update without Registry Hack.! Weird.
Thanks Corgor for your time and help.
Have a good day.!

The one you downloadedis a single package if its named JP6_JP5_U_JP2.tar. You need to put in in PDA in Odin with re-partition checked & flash.

Thanks Ragin and Corgar, the issue is solved now. I m back on Froyo.
But the usual problem of SGS is not fixed. "Lagging"! Any help which lag fix i should install? I searched a got many results but since i am new in this, dont want to take risk again.
Thanks for the help..!

Search for a kernel and flash it as pda in odin. I'm on speedmod atm. Enter recovery and choose lagfix and tweaks.

Search for hardcore's speedmod kernel in DEV. download the latest stable Odin version. Put your phone into download mode & flash via Odin. Pull the battery, & go into recovery, & apply first the Tweaks. Reboot & check if you are satisfied with the snappiness/speed. I am sure you will be. If not, go into Recovery again & enable lagfix.
You can also try Trasig's kernel based on VooDoo.

[Q] PDA - Region change and lock

Greetings XDAers.
I got a N9005 for my bday (yay!). And I'm enjoying it a lot, but it's a singaporean Note, the PDA is DX, so is the baseband, and the CSC is OLC set to XSP (My full specs bellow). Among other things, I want the "latest and greatest" rom, which Singapore doesn't seem to offer (last is from august), and I would like to have Spanish for the system, which not being a XX PDA I do not have. Also I've decided to stick with factory for a while, even if I miss terribly some things from CM I want to enjoy the S Pen to the maximum and play with gestures for a while at least.
My worry is that the singaporean device is not region locked, and I worry if I install an european rom (Spain PHE seems to be a good choice of PDA and CSC for me), that it'll lock the device to europe, to which I really have no access to unlock. Not easily.
Thus I wonder where the region lock is, is it in pda? is it in CP? is it a combination of PDA and CP? If I do not update my baseband can it still lock or can't it lock? Those are my questions. I could try with an American pda+csc too I think, since in theory any provider in latinamerica should work within the lock (I'm in Venezuela)?
My device versions:
PDA: N9005DXUENF3
CP: N9005DXUENF1
CSC: N9005OLCENF2
CSC SELECTED: XSP

Single little bumpity, wishing for luck and some light.

1- Flash PHE firmware will not region lock your phone. So don't worry.
2- At the moment, the latest firmware for XSP is GNH1, that is newer than the latest one for PHE (currently is GNG1).
You can check yourself using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser', enter 'PHE' or 'XSP' into the CSC textbox and tap Go button to search. The latest firmware will be listed on the top.

Thank you Nguyen.
Is this a general rule, or because PHE is not region locked itself? I ask because I know UK phones seem to come locked now, but afaik and as far as I've seen UK's BTU is one of the newest firmwares out there. And being an XX pda I should get Spanish and English with it.

Flashing another firmware will not region lock/unlock your phone. But it can only brick your device, if the firmware is not compatible with your phone (in the most case it is due to different PIT file).

[Q] How do I know the original PDA , CSC, MODEM?

Hello!
I have a quick question, I was searching around the web but still can't find how to identify the original ROM pre installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I know that my device was made in Canada because is the version SM N900W8. And I had installed a ROM that I downloaded from sammobile.(Information added in the attachment), I upgrade it manually to the Android Version 4.4.3 and didn't save the information of the original one and at this very moment I'm having an issue with the "Android: GPS - Continuous Scanning or Unable to Fix/Lock Location". I tried solutions as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612757 but as far as I know this is related directly with the ROM that I had currently installed. I tried searching with the IMEI on http://www.imei.info/ and http://swappa.com/ but nothing related directly with the original ROM. Probably I'm missing some information regardless with the carrier that was made for, I'm currently located in Bogotá, Colombia.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and check for the 'Original CSC Code' in the CSC INFO section.
If that doesn't help, I will show you another solution.

Thank you so much for the reply. Great application +5 recommended. But it only shows me the information that I currently have installed (Trinidad y Tobago ROM) [Information Attached]- It had pre installed some ROM for a Canadian carrier, but for mistake I didn't save the information of it. What is the alternative method to double check what was the original one?

What you want, definitely can't be seen.
You can only see the version of the current installed rom.

Well, I work for HTC and in the tool that we use here. That is possible, it shows you all the information about the device. Baseband, rom version, date of installation, kernel source, lenght of download OTA. I tried to contact Samsung with out any good response for security policies.

It depends on how you installed the rom. Sometimes the Original CSC remains and can be obtained with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
Ok try another way: install Kies, connect your phone to PC, go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, enter your Model name, then S/N. Kies will show you original firmware information.

Thank you! Question Resolved.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this. That was the information that I was looking for, now I know that my device is not from Canada, it was TELCEL Mexico, by the way is the same variant of the note 3 on Canada. :fingers-crossed::good: Now I hope I can fix the glitch with the GPS. (with the original ROM). I'm hoping now if the SIM unlock will remain if I do the forware upgrade and initialization from Kies.

phone info app
best way to know is install Phone Info App from playstore....it will give you complete details

Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.

Your post is five years after question but more than that it does not apply to Note 3 .

[Q]Why can't I update my stock software?

So last night I flashed stock firmware from sammobile,after that I flashed the appropriate modem for the wifi to work.Everything is good but I tried from curiousness the Update Software button.It says my software is modified and I can't update it.Why?! I just flashed the stock firmware without rooting it or anything.What can I do?

Reflash everything with a full (not modified) stock firmware. That's because you flashed file that not corresponding the stock firmware you installed, so the OTA update will break.

I flashed a stock frimware! First I wiped everything from my phone except storage and flashed the stock firmware from sammobile.It is completely stock right now...

In order for OTA updates to function, the parts of the firmware must match each other, and the firmware must have the same CSC as originally installed on the device. For example, my S4 originally was from O2 (CSC O2U), but when I got it off Swappa it had the CSC of SIM installed. I would need to install the O2-branded firmware back on to the device in order for OTA updates to function.
If you do not know what the original CSC was, either because the phone was a "hand-me-down" or was purchased used, then OTA updates will not function and you will need to use Odin to update.

So ,can I change my CSC ? Or is there any way to find out what was the original one? Any other things that need to match in order to update via OTA? Or you kinda say it's impossible to do that if I already modified the original software.Btw I have a i9505

To identify what's the latest firmware for your region, use your hometown's CSC code (region code) and look for a new version available.
Like I9500UBUHOI1 for region ARO, I9500XXUHOH7 for region SER, and many more. If you're unsure, check your CSC code by entering Recovery mode or use an app like Phone Info.

@calinoii: Many S4 boxes will have the CSC on them as part of the Samsung merchandising code, though mine did not. If the box does not have it, or you don't have the box, the only way to get the correct CSC is by parsing the IMEI and finding out which carrier purchased that device. imeidata.net used to have that option available, and it was how I found out that my device was originally from O2. They took it out, and I'm not aware of any replacements. Try contacting your carrier, as they may be able to provide that information.

so I checked on sammobile and the csc for my firmware (I9505XXUHOJ2) is I9505XXHOJ1. Maybe it has been installed with the firmware?

I guess I wasn't clear. When I say "CSC of the phone", I'm referring to the three digit carrier code some of the devices have. For example, my phone I discovered had the model number of GT-I9505ZKAO2U. The carrier code of my phone is the last three digits of the model number. It therefore is O2U, and on sammobile.com I would narrow down my search for ROMs using that code to get the correct ROM for the device.
The firmware has its own CSC code, but that cannot be used to determine the phone's CSC. You either need the model number of the phone as printed on the box, or you need to find someone who can research the IMEI and tell you what carrier the phone was originally sold to.

No, that's probably modem or baseband version. Like Strephon said before, it refers on latest 3 digits on your phone box. Like my Galaxy S4 is GT-I9500ZWAXSE, so this phone is for Indonesian markets. Third party app might refer it into installed CSC codes like I install Latin American firmware into my phone and it's changed into GT-I9500ZWATTT. It mostly refers to region like region CHN for China, ARO for Argentina, etc.
CSC that always mentioned on the firmware details is actually multi-CSC. Like on SEA I9500XXUHOH7, it's multi-CSC version is I9500OLBHOH1 and Latin American I9500UBUHOI1 is I9500UUBHOE2. Multi-CSC applies one of CSC codes that matches your phone (like I download ARO firmware but after installing and wipe cache, CSC code installed is TTT instead of ARO).
