Does anyone know where I can find the ROM for US model? (YP-G1CWY/XAA) The kernel version is G1UEKI8-CL562400. Also, can I flash my US model with anther kernel version, say,a European one? Will there be any difference?

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2081year:
Is G1UEKI8 2.2rom? or 2.3.5rom??

You can flash any version rom to your g1.

I don't know where can get G1UEKI8 , but I know how to get other country 2.3.5 rom from kies.

If you want to get other rom from kies , you must to cheat kies.

It's have two way.

1.flash other country 2.2 rom and change sales code

for example:

If you want get European 2.3.5 rom , you can flash European 2.2 rom.

(you can downloader 2.2 eu rom from http://hotfile.com/dl/125506082/ec15637/G1XXKE1.rar.html )

And root your g1 and install ES File Explorer.

And than use ES File Explorer to find efs/buyer_code.dat open it , and change it.(for example,XEF(it's France sales code) )

Than connect to kies.

2.change build.prop and change sales code

A.change build.prop:

Root your g1 and install ES File Explorer.

And than use ES File Explorer to find system/build.prop open it , and change it.

For example my g1 is taiwan 2.3.5 rom ,kernel is ZSKP7 , sales code is XTW.

So if I want get EU 2.3.5 ROM I change all "ZSKP7" to "XXKE1" , all "G1ZSKP7" to "G1XXKE1" , all "XTW" to "XEF" .

And close your g1 , and press power key while holding home key and volume(+) key .

And "wipe data/factory reset" ,and "wipe data/factory reset" , than "reboot system now" .

B.change sales code:

same with 1. it's change efs/buyer_code.dat .

When you update firmware by kies.

You can get the rom from you computer C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Temp .

To find filename extension ".rar.md5" form C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Temp\"random number"

When you cancel update or update is finsh rom will delete by system , so you have several minutes to copy rom between rom is downloader and update is not finsh .

This rom you get from kies can use odin flash.

However , if you don't have US rom , maybe you can use second way to get US current rom , but you must know what the kernel name(for example eu 2.2 is XXKE1 , taiwan 2.2 is ZSKC5) for preceding edition .

I hope you can understand my English.:p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klin1344:
Thank you, that was very helpful.

G1EUIK8 is the 2.3.5 ROM, and also I'm already rooted. So, basically, what I'm trying to do is restore the stock ROM again, because right now I think it is corrupt. And correct me if I'm wrong, I can do that by flashing a European 2.2 ROM, then change the sales code and kernel version to US, and connect to Kies for update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2081year:
Yes.

Just like what I say.

You can use second way to get 2.3.5 US rom.

But you must remember kernel name of 2.2 US rom.

Otherwise , you can't use second way to cheat kies.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

If you only want get US 2.3.5 rom.

Without flash EU rom.

Without Change sales code.

Only change Kernel name(2.2 US) by edit system/build.prop .

And wipe .

Than connect to kies.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klin1344:
But the US version launched with 2.3.5 installed, so there is no 2.2 ROM?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine725:
I am looking for the opposite - kind of. I want the US rom to flash my non US device. Before you flash your US version, Can you make a flashable image of it?

Can anyone out there tell me how to decipher where my SGS came from? Kies shows, as the current firmware, PDA:KE1 / CSC:KE1 (COO) and on the Galaxy info screen it says I have FROYO.XXKE1 (G1XXKE1) for a build version. Is there a list somewhere of codes/build versions and their associated country?

I have downloaded a bunch of different rom files but have become confused as to whether or not they work or too buggy to tolerate.

Is there one out there that works and is relatively bug free?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2081year:
To klin1344:

You English is too hard for me.

Is your maen , your US version G1 is 2.3.5 when you buy , so you don't know what the 2.2 us kernel name?

If it's you mean , I can't help you.

Because I don't know what the 2.2 us kernel name is.

To Alpine725 :

PDA:KE1 / CSC:KE1 (COO)

KE1 is kernel name display to kies.

you can change it by flash other country rom or change it by edit system/build.prop .(when you change remember wipe and reboot)

(COO) is sales code .

you can change it by edit efs/buyer_code.dat .

remember kernel name and sales code are pair .

EU kernel must with EU sales code.

US kernel must with US sales code.

otherwise , can't cheat kies.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

To Alpine725 :

I don't know what the bug you meet.

But if you use 2.3.5 rom and you meet under problem.

"Device management (com.wssyncmldm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

you can root. and delete syncmldm.apk and syncmldm.odex from system/app , and reboot.

Thanks very much. I have a sales code of "COO" with a EU kernel (XXKE1). I have searched high and low but can not seem to find where COO is from. Is there somewhere internally (in the SGS file system) I can look, other than the build.prop?

Thanks again!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2081year:
I'm not understand your question.

SGS ?

Is SGS TOOLs??

G1 can't use sgs tools to find change CSC.

Because g1 not have CSC.

So change sales code in efs/buyer_code.dat , change krenel name in system/build.prop or flash other country rom.

I don't know COO is what country sales code.

COO maybe is EU sales code , EU have a lot of country.

Where you buy your G1?

COO is sales code where you buy.

So "COO" and "XXKE1" maybe can update to 2.3.5.

Is your question you can't update to 2.3.5??

If you can't update to 2.3.5 , try change sales code to "XEF"(France sales code).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klin1344:
To s2081year:

Sorry, what I meant was that the US version of G1 just started selling in October, so all the US versions have 2.3.5 when you buy it. So there is no 2.2 US kernel. So, is there a way to get 2.3.5 US kernel without knowing 2.2?

If there isn't, if I use 2.3.5 EU, does it support English?

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2081year:
1.Only take US 2.3.5 rom from your G1. Or downloader from other peaple upload.

But US 2.3.5 rom from your G1 is corrupt.

2.Seems all rom for g1 have English .

I confirm EU rom and taiwan rom have English.

So I suggest you use EU rom.

Ok, thanks for all your help!:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klin1344:
Well, I flashed it with the 2.2 EU rom successfully, but now the home button doesn't work. I think because the US version has a capacitive (touch screen) home button, but the other versions all have a real home button.

I connected to Kies, and it says that it is the latest firmware version.

I was going to flash with the latest 2.3.5 rom with ODIN, but I can't get into download mode (power + (-) + home) because the home button doesn't work.

Can anyone help me out right now?

I don't know what to do. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine725:
SGS = Samsung Galaxy S

I dont know what the SGS TOOLs are. I may be interested in getting them, depending on what they do.

As for COO and where I got my G1...I got it off eBay from a seller that is here in the US. All I can say about where it came from (the eBay seller has not replied to me yet) is that all of the text on the back of the box it came in appears to be in Spanish...if that helps...

I havent actually tried to update it yet, I was trying to come up with a way to have Kies do it for me. That is why I am trying to find a way to make it think I have a US player.

Anyone have any suggestions on that for me? Although I am not afraid to try things out on it, I am still a n00b when it comes to Android so I may need a little 'hand-holding'.

Thanks to all in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2081year:
To Alpine725 :

Your question is you want your yp-g1cw to use US rom , right?

I think don't do that.

Because yp-g1cw have a real home button , but yp-g1cwy have a capacitive (touch screen) home button.

Spanish version g1 use EU rom , and it also have English .

Why you so inflexible make kies think you have a US player?

To klin1344:

I'm so sorry , your problem is big.

I don't know your g1 is yp-g1cwy ,it's use capacitive (touch screen) home button.

So,you have two problem.

one is Home button can't work , how to go to Download Mode.

two is your g1 use capacitive (touch screen) home button so you can't use other country rom , because it's make your g1 home button can't work.

1.Maybe you can use "Download Jig Tool" , search key word from ebay you will know what i say.(I say maybe , so I'm not sure can it work for g1. Because I never try.)

Or you can Diy "Download Jig Tool" .

It's mean connect 301k (electric) resistance to Micro USB 4 and 5 pin.

It's finish.

2.Because your US g1 is not same like other country , so the question is how to get US yp-g1cwy rom.

A.

Maybe you can ask Samsung store or people who sale you g1.

But maybe he will need you to pay money.

B.

Ask other people who have yp-g1cwy(same with your) and take US rom from his g1 , or search in net maybe somebody who upload US g1 rom.

C.

Just waitting for new firmware from kies.

If have new US rom from kies , you can use second way to cheat kies.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpine725:
Hey there...

Thanks for the reply. I am not set on installing a US rom, I only thought it would help with being able to download some of the market apps. One in particular, now any ways, is VooDoo Control. Market says it is not compatible with my G1. Another reason is that I thought it may help with the GPS feature. I could very well be wrong about that though.

Back to the sales codes...i was looking through build.prop and saw the build country as Russia with a CSC of SER, which seems to correspond with Russia. However, Kies shows COO, as I said before. Now what??

Again, Like I said, I am not opposed to having a non-US rom, as long as it isnt going to affect my access to market apps and GPS fixing.

Thanks again...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2081year:
1.

VooDoo Control can't work in g1 , because it's seems need work on voodoo kernel(one of custom rom , but no one make for g1).

However I ever try on 2.2 TW rom (not download from Market) , it's can install ,can open , but can't work.

2.

Do you install GPS map software(I don't know how to say about that , like "iGO My Way" or "Sygic(TomTom)" or "CoPilot Live" or "NavDroyd")?

And I take to you , the GPS signal of G1 is not good , very bad.

So maybe it's Useless to use other country rom.

3.

Before I say there have two way to cheat kies.

your kernel name is XXKE1 sales code is COO.

Then what you want to do? cheat Kies to get other country current rom?

Which country rom you want to get , change Kernel name by edit /system/build.prop , change sales code(maybe you can call it "CSC" , but in other samsung phone sales code is in "CSC" folder , G1 have not "CSC" folder , so I just call it sales code) in /efs/buyer_code.dat .

So I say before change (COO) is in /efs/buyer_code.dat , not in /system/build.prop.

1.you can instell this from Market "GPS Status & Toolbox"

2.try to change gps.conf it's in /etc/gps.conf

I'm in Taiwan , but the NTP_SERVER of my g1 is connect to north-america.

So I change north-america to tw

for example:

original gps.conf :

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

moidfy gps.conf :

NTP_SERVER=tw.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

When use that two way , my G1 search GPS is quickly.

So maybe you can find location NTP_SERVER with you , and try to change it.

First of all, welcome to XDA.

It seems that you and I have the same player - at least the same build and model. You said you got yours in Columbia...Do you live there? I live in the US and I got mine on eBay. Did you buy it at a retail store? I have been trying to find out where exactly it came from - the guy I bought it from was in New York.

I assume you have it rooted, however, if not, SuperOneClick 2.1.1 worked great for me. I plan on trying to install Choucas06's firmware this weekend - after I make a back up of mine. I will keep you posted. If you manage to get it installed before I get back to you, please let me know how it works...

Thanks.
