Hi,
I bought 3 monthes ago a european galaxy tab that has the JJ3 firmware. I wanted to know if I could directly flash the JMG one onto the tab ? I'm asking this because I saw a thread where someone was flashing from a JJ* to JM6 and then JMF I think. Is it necessary to do those extra steps ?
Thanks,

You can flash straight to JMG from JJ3 fine. If you look in the JMG thread in the Tab development forum, on page 3 (I think) I've posted a link to a stock JMG package which contains everything you need but doesn't contain bootloaders. Don't use the link Chainfire posted in the first post as it doesn't have dbdata.rfs included in the package and your Tab probably won't boot if you flash that. I'm sure you've seen the threads about bootloaders but just as a reminder, beware of flashing any ROM that may contain them as you could hard brick your phone if the flash goes wrong.
Hi To All Gurus,
I have a new Samsung GTab and planning to upgrade my firmware because the stock firmware always pop a message " Force Close " when I install any apps from Market.
My firmware is Stock I thinks it's a JPJK2, I buy this in Riyadh and I can use any sim so I think it's not lock to any provider.
I saw new firmware from SamFirmware which is P1000JPJM5 is this compatible to my GTab Arab version I may say?
I download Odin 1.7 from SamFirmware also and I saw PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC, I download P1000JPJM5 and PIT for Euro but I don't know if this can match to my device also if I don't have PHONE and CSC it's means my GTab will not work as normal phone or 3G if I don't have the PHONE and CSC file?
For those who can answer some of my question please try to guide me so I can start Rooting my GTab also I can upgrade my device.
I will appreciate more if you can explain it to me and URL link to all what I need to download for firmware upgrade will do a lot help for me also.
Thank you and Regards to all, more power to XDA and it's users.
Don't flash any JM roms from samsung! You will be stuck with a locked bootloader and not be able to use any open developed roms here.
Hi rangercaptain,
Then how can I root my GT?
I encounter a lot of Force Close thats why I'm planning to upgrade my Firmware.
Please advice me on where I need to start, TIA.

Hi Guys,
Ive searched the forum, to no avail...
I would like to flash my Apollo with FroYo, but for safety's sake im trying to find a copy of my original firmware so I can flash it back and use KIES if needed.
If I type in *#1234# I get:
PDA I5800XXJG7
Phone I5800XXJG3
CSC I5800XXJG5
Does any kind person have the relevant files handy for upload please?
Also, If I flash a new firmware should they all match the original (ie the I5800XX part).
Thanks for your help
I posted the same question a week ago. I didn't get a straight answer. I had the same firmware before i flashed to XXJPM. Your firmware is XXJG7, but I didn't find it on samfirmware. I found XWJG7, but I think that is not the same, because there is xxjpf and xwjpf - the first one being older. To update via kies when the official update comes u need an official firmware, XXJG7 is official since u got it with your phone, but u cant find it, can you? So you need any official firmware, but i don't know witch are official except XXJG7... Anyway don't bother with this, you can flash froyo without backup, i did it and nothing went wrong but be cautius and folow the steps closly and when the official update comes it will be avaliable to flash via odin. until then flash any non official froyo
I have this rom and am uploading it now its I5800XXJG3 - csc xxjg5 - phone xxjg5 - pda xxjg7 will post a link soon
here you go

Thanks
I see the numbers are slightly different, does it matter?
I have also read that flashing the bootloader can cause hard-brick issues, is it better not to flash the bootloader?
i did not flash the bootloader just to be on the safe side, not sure what the cl447760 & cl460190 mean all i tell you is kies see's this as the latest firmware for my phone the uk .
i got the phone three weeks aga at the carphone warehouse it is unbranded and unlocked
Thanks again for your help. I have now upgraded mine to the standard XXJPM FroYo with ODIN. Just out of interest, is there a way I could have got the old firmware off my phone into files like you uploaded?
i think you can dd them to the sd card but not sure how to do it , i googled for ages to find my that firmware on some random site because i did not like froyo after i flashed it
ive gone back to 2.1 until i can find a fix for icons not staying on the home screen from apps installed on the sd card after a reboot. other than that i was pleased with it.
Hey Guys,
a few minutes ago, I tried to flash the newest Lollipop Rom from a german carrier via. odin. Before that, my Note 3 was running the leaked HongKong version of Lollipop. I missed, to backup my pit file and thats why I can't flash the new system. The problem is, that now my phone doesn't even boot. It even won't accept the HK version of Lollipop.
Can someone uploade his/her Pit-File for me?
Sorry, can be closed.
Got it from here.
Good afternoon people,
Last month I landed in a bootloop. Deleted the wrong file and couldn't do anything. So yea.. let's begin over. I opened Odin and downloaded my model number firmare. But I filled my baseband number in if I'm right something like; I9505UGNJ8. Everything went perfect and the firmware was from the Baltics. But now I'm stuck with 2 questions.
Can I do factory reset on my Galaxy S4 and won't I loose my firmware or something... not really an expert in those things. And can I upgrade to Lollipop with Odin? To download it from Sammobile the right phone model. Does the country matter and latetst date? And need I put the MD5 file in AP or BL (Not sure if it's BL).
I hope you guys at the forums can help me! I would really appreciate it!
Cheers,
Robin.
A factory reset delets all your added apps and data. It's as if the S4 was new out of the box. The firmware will remain however. You can update to Android 5.01 using Odin and placing the firmware into the AP slot.. The country only matters if the S4 is carrier locked, but some firmwares have limited lanvuage support. You sbould use a firmware that supports your language.
