Hey Guys,
Im Kind of pissed of because Samsung in my Country doesnt bring always the Newes Firmware (highest changelist) to our device.
So I want to flash the Newest ROM here and my question is:
Which Firmware with the highest Changelog support Multi Language ?
In the past i flashed philipines Firmware and there was not an option to select German.
So can someone say which latest Firmware does support multi language ?
(Currently Im not Rooted and i dont want to root for a period of time)

Hello everyone and sorry if i created a topic that already exists ive been searching this forum for hours and i could not find a solution to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 purchased in Slovenia at the provider Mobitel.
I've tried to update my phone to a newer version of the firmware trough Kies but i get the following error.
OK as im new it doesnt let me insert links :/ so my firmware version is the following:
PDA:JS2 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (MOT)
i know the update to 2.3 is availible in Slovenia but i think i am missing some update inbetween or something, as you can see my Kies says its not an official version on my phone but it is, my phone is the same as i bought it ive never updated yet nor i installed any custom stuff on it.
Hope someone can help me i've been trying to update for about 2 weeks now :/ thanks!
Hi it would seem that http://www.samfirmware.com/ have a lot of updates that don't seem to be on kies I have updated my I9000 to 2.3.5 using Odin from there.
Everything you need to do it is on that site there are many threads on this forum for updating you phone. Before you do back up your IMEI data because if something goes wrong (not that it should) this data is unrecoverable.
See this link for how to do it.

When you go onto samfirmware there are guides on how to use Odin and what firmwares to use. Not that the name of the firmware version holds info about country codes and languages so my firmware I9000XXJVS is decoded in the following way -
I9000 - model
XX - Country code
JV - Language code
S - Changes with version
When you are changing the firmware check that the language code and country code are the same as what you have already this will ensure you have the right firmware. Only the last letter changes usually.

Hey thanks for your reply!
See im a complete novice when it comes to update Android phones on my own...doesnt it mean if i do it with Odin its going to be a custom update and i loose my warranty as it would be an official samsung update anymore ? and the frimware versions its all just numbers and letters to me i coudnt tell the difference between them if i look at them :/ so if you could please link me the exact things that i need if its legal to update that way , if im not asking for too much cause i feel like i am :/ i've been searching both this forum and sam's for a few days and i cant make out anything of it, like i saidi m a novice dont know much :/
Ok i downloaded this :
samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8512833-android-2-3-5-for-galaxy-s-
now i have completely no idea what to do with >.< please help!
flash samfirmware 2.3.5 XXJVS, newest and fastest
Ok firstly Odin is a manual tools for updating firmware. And the roms on that site are stock roms (unmodified). The reason Samsung and other manufacturers don't like people flashing roms is that a) you can brick your phone and b) with a custom rom they will not warrantee the rom because they didn't make it. If you flash a stock rom onto your phone you should be fine. (Bricked phones are recoverable usually).
As I said before BACK UP YOUR IMEI DATA as shown by the link in my original post reply as if this data is corrupted even if you get a good rom on your phone if you have lost your imei your phone will not work. (This is more of an issue with custom roms and not usually an issue with stock roms but do it anyway).
**UPDATE** This actually requires that you have Odin up and working which you might not yet so don't worry just yet about this.
Don't use xxjvs yet it may be the wrong language we will check before proceeding.
Ok firstly you need to check the language version of the rom already in your phone the easiest way is to go into settings and then about and check the kernel version it will be something like 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVS-CL535839
The important bit for now is the bit in bold in the above example I9000 is the model xx is the country code jv is the langauge code and s is the version.
XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
JV = en,fr,pt,tr(ar,de,es,fa,it,nl)
If you are from Solvenia you country code would normally be XD and im not sure what your language code is. Any firmware you install should have the same country and language codes.
Checking the site there aren't any versions with the XD country code so before continuing can you confirm what version your phone already has?
XD = Croatia, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia
?? = language (use whatever your old rom is)
You can flash different country codes but be aware that this may change the available languages on your phones and/or settings/carrier information. (checking the site they just have the xxjvs firmware listed under "Europe" so it might be fine. It's up to you. That being said when I turn my phone back on after flashing a rom it prompts me with a list of countries so...
You need to install your phone drivers
Then download Odin http://hotfile.com/dl/107607762/640950b/I9003_Odin3_v1.82.rar.html and then un-rar it.
You then need to download the firmware you want to flash the current XXJV firmware is http://hotfile.com/dl/129538506/0a079c6/I9000XXJVS.rar.html.
This will contain 4 files the modem, csc, kernel and pit files everything you need to make it work.
I'm not going to go through the Odin instructions as they are on the site here http://www.samfirmware.com/SVC Android/I9000 Flashguide.pdf and are pretty easy to follow (just ignore the first few pages until you come to the Odin section).

Greetings,
My name is Hisham and I have a Galaxy Note 3 LTE unlocked; I can't wait any longer for the official lollipop update to reach my phone via OTA or kies (I live in the UAE) so I am thinking to update manually using Odin and the official update released in Poland (or any other official release for that matter)! My question is: let's say that everything went smooth and I got the update; what will happen to my phone afterwards? and how it will affect my phone? let us say that the official update reached my region (UAE) what can I do then? and finally, will I still be able to write and receive SMS and email in Arabic as well as English ( I mean can I still download any keyboard and language?)
This is my build number for reference N9005XXUGNJ2 (I don't know if it will help)
Thanks for the help in advance

1. The CSC code of United Arab Emirates is called XSI (no UAE). Install this APP for know more info about your device anyway.
2. I do not recommend update your device manually if your device with your actual firmware (N9005XXUGNJ2) is going ok and smooth. Wait for the official update.
Thanks for the reply; I guess I have to wait for the official update now. I hope it will be soon :fingers-crossed:
Hello
Now, the stock rom is 5.1.1 and there was an error or issue with shareit app and i had to full wiped the phone with twrp custom recovery and after that, the phone's rom has been broken or just has a problem which says, there is no OS installed.
So, i had to download 5.0.1 after a lot of search with a good link and after introduce it to ODIN, there is a problem which that is also says:
sw check fail aboot fused error
So, i've read the same threads and saw something like cannot go back to older version.
So, is there any roms links (direct links) as official with persian supports language to download with 5.1.1 version? i've seen the sammobile info about the country and found nothing about the country and persian language.
It should be useful for the others which they have the same issue in future.
Any helps would be great, i've been fixing this issue about 8 hours by now! Just needs a guide or help about a direct link of official rom for Note 4 N910P
I don't believe the stock Sprint N910P firmware ever supported Farsi by default.
My recommendations:
1) Download the latest OK1 firmware and install with Odin (Samsung doesn't allow you to go back to 5.0.1 ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
2) Download a Farsi keyboard (it won't change the OS, but since you appear fluent in English, it should allow you to send texts and messages in Farsi - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boloorian.android.farsikeyboard&hl=en
I know there is a huge desire to buy Sprint phones for International use because their price on the secondary market is far lower than other models in the same family. However, if native language support is important to you, I would steer clear in the future. An International version will have a far wider language library installed.
So I flashed this phone cause it was bootlooping, and its a friend of mine and i didnt even see what CSC was on the phone, I flashed the Latest PHI(GLB) firmware available and i only get this languages to change, and the phone had spanish option that i'm trying to put because he doesn't understand english.
Can someone help me??

A question,
I updated the phone to the last firmware for my device G975FXXU8CTG4 and in the update amongst fixes it was said not possible downgrade to lower versions. Is it still possible to flashing it back to lower , Pie or earlier versions of Android Q. ? Havent opened Odin yet, i just want to verify by you guys if its still possible to downgrade from this version ?
Thanks
Only Firmware with same number, for example you have XXU8 and Flash XXU7 Firnware, this isn't working.
Sorry for my bad english, im german.
