You could also try it at teamovercome.net site...there you find also an excellent (in my opinion) guide how to flash gingerbread via odin. Perhaps you also want to go on and try overcome too :-)?

Hope its allowed to post the link to the page!? If not i can delete it again!

Just got the popup that i am a to young newbie for posting links :-)

So i toot it out again, sorry.....

rodman01: i got the first rom (GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip) from the website teamovercom, (coz it's the same name for the rom i got earlier) and installed it via odin 1.7 , but still kies says that my tab's firmware dosn't support software update,,

update: i downloaded the rom from the website, installed it and it's the sme as the one i got, and the same problem stays with kies!

doès anybody have possible explanation for the problem that prevents my device from being updated?
[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
ok perhaps its better to try a version from sammobile, because there are the official firmwares.....perhaps you try one earlier version like frojo, because then you can be sure that there is definately an update available.....as far as i know the kies support for updates has also something to do with the CNC code and the build number of the rom....the last 3 letters of the versions are related to the country and the product ect.....i found some more informations in an other foorum but unfortunately its german....i will copy it here below, perhaps it helps...otherwise i can try to translate it as good as possible....:

"Kies sagt "Softwareaktualisierung über Kies werden von Ihrem Gerät nicht unterstützt:Aktuelle Firmware-Version: i9000XWJWI/I90000XXJVO/i9000XWJVI (KOR)"=KOR is for Korea and German Phones will not get an update....and

"10. Kontrolliert nach dem erfolgreichen flashen euren ProductCode durch Eingabe von *2767*4387264636# in die Telefontastatur! Sollte dieser mit DBT aufhören, ist alles gut, und ihr braucht NICHT mit Schritt 11 fortzufahren!

11. Wenn nun aber die letzten 3 Stellen eures ProductCodes nun KOR lauten gebt *#06# in eure Telefontastatur ein und notiert euch nun die angezeigte IMEI.

12. Verlasst das angezeigte Fenster und gebt nun *#272*???????????????# in eure Telefontastatur ein, wobei ihr die ??? durch eure eben notierte IMEI ersetzt.

13. Im folgenden Fenster wählt ihr DBT aus und klickt unten auf INSTALL. Dadurch wird euer falscher ProductCode KOR auf den, für deutsche ungebrandete Geräte DBT gesetzt. ACHTUNG! Hierbei wird ein FactoyReset durchgeführt!

14. Reboot abwarten, Fertig!"

An other post says that the product code for Germany should be

"Die aktuellste über Kies verteilte Firmware für den Produktcode DBT (Deutschland, ungebrandet) ist JVI (thx Donald Nice)

Euren Produktcode könnt ihr überprüfen indem ihr *2767*4387264636# wie eine Telefonnummer eingebt.

Unter (Hilfe > Kies-Lernprogramm) findet ihr ein ausführliches Tutorial, in dem die wichtigsten Funktionen von Kies anschaulich erklärt werden. Beachtet dazu bitte die angehängten Screenshots. (thx once upon a time)"

Hope this helps or just are some ideas and informations to get closer to the solution..

thanks rodman01 for these info, but unfortianetly they don't provide the option for the nordic region! i found option for UK, italy, germany, open europe (satrting with hungarin i assume), france and carefor UK! the problem is the same with all of them!
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
ok, i got these roms, anybody knows if any of them is a stock nordic rom?

[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
Hi again,

here i found some more informations, hope they give you ideas and possibilitys to go further:

one GingerBread Firmware for Sweden is:

PDA: P1000XWJP9

Modem: P1000XXJPZ (same like italien)

CSC: P1000NEEJP1 (unfortunately no Multi-CSC, only NEE)

Build-Datum: 10.06.2011

Download here: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/147454881/4f56a39/GT-P1000_NEE_P1000XWJP9_P1000NEEJP1_P1000XXJPZ.zip.html

but i am not sure whether it is an official samsung/kies firmware.

ODK is also a CSC code for Sweden. But the most common is NEE which stands for Nordic Countries and XEE which is Sweden.

all official firmwares are here, but you might know this page and unfortunately no specific nordic one :-(

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1&m=GT-P1000&r=1#regiona
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
rodman01: thanks for the rom, you've been of big help for me! the rom is swedish but seems to be rooted, as appears from it's name2.2.35.7 root@dell101 #2 , and kies still dosn't accept to update!

and i bought my tablet from danmark not sweden, would that make swedish firmwares unupdatable on my tablet?
[Galaxy Tab General] MosCraciun:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=1&t=1

Here are letter code for every country. Pick your country code and then serch on same site your latest firmware' download and installit on your tab.

BAU = SWEDEN BCN = SWEDEN BME = SWEDEN BSG = SWEDEN BTH = SWEDEN COV = SWEDEN HTS = SWEDEN SEN = SWEDEN TET = SWEDEN TLA = SWEDEN XEE = SWEDEN VDS = SWEDEN TNO = SWEDEN
[Galaxy Tab General] romturk:
MosCraciun do you happen to have stock rom for Romania ?
[Galaxy Tab General] MosCraciun:
No Gingerbread for Romania. Only Froyo 2.2. CSC: P1000OXFJM5 ,PDA: P1000XWJMK. But why do you want latest romanian firmware. You can use Gingerbread for another country like Italy, Poland, Germany etc. You will lost the romanian input keybord. (Diacriticele). That's all you will lost.
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
MosCraciun: thanks for the hint, but the problem i found non of them in sammobile or galaxytabku, do u know another website to provide firmwares for samsung devices?
[Galaxy Tab General] MosCraciun:
Sorry, but no. I trust only 2 sites to download firmware for my tab. First is here on XDA and second is Sammobile.
[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
Kies and Kiesupdates are sometimes very tricky. If you google about your problem there are a lot of threads in the forums.

A couple of things could be checked. Do you have the latest Kies version, do you have the right Kiessettings related to your country and your sw buildnumber (CSC code), latest drivers are installed, and so on and so on.....(threads in the forums have many tips)

Also there exists a registry (Kies-) Hack with what some people solve their problem.....and then i am afraid ....its try and error till problem is solved....

btw whats your problem with your tab? Why do you want to get it repaired under warranty? Via Kies last update will be Gingerbread....further official firmawares will not follow...as far as i know.....
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
yes, i have latest KIES verion, and i even tried 2 older versions, all with the same result,, about CSC files i have no experience with it, can man change settings for it from kies? i see in thepiratbay some verions of kies with keygenerators, are these hacked KIES programmes? can they solve my problem?

my tab has had some problems for a couble of monthes now, for starters some times i leave in on charge for many hours and it dosn't charge, then i turn it off and it charges to 100%, i turn it on and after one hour of video i found it down to 20%, and then in no time to 3%! also some time force crashes... thought if garanti still on that one can benifit from the proffessional handling!
[Galaxy Tab General] sos_sifou:
hi brother, if you find a working solution with Kies please post it here, I would like to know because I am interested.

[Galaxy Tab General] Bajotaz:
Jag fick det att fungera

Jag hade samma problem.

Det löste sig för mig när jag först flashade GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip

Gick in i recovery mode och Wipe user/factory reset.

Sedan flashade jag en zip från programmet CheckFusDownloader_v2.1, efter det så flashade jag om GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip igen, efter ytterligare en wipe user/factory reset.

I CheckFusDownloader_v2.1 väljer man bara: Android, GT-P1000 och Nordic countries - GT-P1000CWANEE

Laddar ner filen och flashar den med Odin3 1.85

Filen från CheckFusDownloader_v2.1 gör så att tangentbordet bara ger "Null" oavsett vad man skriver, men det har ingen betydelse när man inte behöver den i mer än en omstart.

Efter det så har jag tillbaka all info så att kies 2.0 fungerar fint igen.
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
Bajotaz: tack för svaret, jag försökt göra som du skrivit några gånger, men jag tror jag gör alltid något fel. när jag flashar filen som laddas via CheckFusDownloader_v2.1 ska jag bara välja tar filen i PDA och pit filen i PIT, samt vilja re-partition,Autoreboot och F reset time? eller ska jag vilja nåt annat? efter jag har flashat denna stanna jag kvar i download mode och kan inte lämna den, om jag gör så ser jag en bild av en mobil och en dator och jag behöver då att installera GB-safe via ODIN 1.7
[Galaxy Tab General] j510:
Quick solution : mention that you get errors with this device and demand an exchange for a brand new device at the store you bought it from. I mean you are still within the return time frame right?
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
i may go to that as a last resort, but the problem is that they can say that the problems are software-based duo to changing the tabelt's rom, and which voids the waranti! so there is a bit of risk in that!
[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
Hello,

had you already checked which productcode (country code) you currently have installed?

tip this in you telefon dialer; *2767*4387264636# and then the last 3 lettern will show your current product code. for example KOR.

But with KOR (Korea) you wont get an update via Kies.

So if its no nordic code tyye in your dialer; *#06#

then you will get your IMEI number. Please note it and close window

Then type in your dialer: *#272*???????????????# for the ? include your noted IMEI number. In next window you can change the product code. Try the nordic code XEE or an other from the samsungmobile page.....and click install.

But attention this will force a factory reset, all personal datas are lost

Perhaps this helps.....

PS.: what was your discussion in swedish, and did that suggestions help?
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
i have just did that step, mine is italian (ITV) and of the alternative i don't see the one for scandenavia, only for germany(DBT), uk (XEU), france (XEF), carfur (cpw), open europe xeo (polonia and other europian countries but not scandenavia) and korea (KOR),, how can i change it to xee?

the disscussion in swedish was to: via Odin 1.8 flash GB_safe and then factory reset, then download a swedish zip file for my tablet via this program (CheckFusDownloader_v2.1) and flash it via Odin, then factory reset wipe-out again and re-flash the GB-5_safe again,, it worked for bajotaz but not yet with me, i am not sure at which step did i go wrong :( KIEs now shows that my firmware ends with NEE [PDA:JQ1. PHONE:JPZ. CSC:JQ1 (NEE)], but still unupgradable by kies (version 2.3.1).
[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
i did not mean the codes in the firmware file......

Start your phone app and follow the steps from my last post:

call: *2767*4387264636# and then the last 3 lettern will show your current product code. for example KOR.

But with ITV (Italy) i think you won't get an update too.....

Then call: *#06#

you will get your IMEI number

then call: *#272*???????????????#

instead of the ? put in your IMEI

in next window you can install an other code
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
Yes, i tottaly understand you, i did as u said, but i found the files i wrote to u above, there is no one for scandenavia.
[Galaxy Tab General] sos_sifou:
your English is a little bit worse than mine, would please explain it again?

If I helped you, please press the thanks button ;-)
[Galaxy Tab General] sos_sifou:
if your ROM support multiple CSS than search in the market for boîte à outils (in French tool box) or look for galaxy s unlock, the same dev made a tool box, get it and you can change your CSS easily.

keep in mind that if you change your CSS your phone get a hard reset and you loose everything, so do a backup first.

If I helped you, please press the thanks button ;-)
[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
btw what does kies exactly say: there is no update available or your device is not recongniced or updateable?

Perhaps you go via sos_sifous app or just try DBT or any other, perhaps it works with one of the selectable csc codes
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
i installed (boîte à outils ) and (galaxy tab unlock), from the market, what is the next setep? the later app help unlocking for sim cards, save actual Efs folder, create BAK files and restore saved Afs folder. any of these option would help me?
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
`no, it's say that the firmware is not supported by kies update. i tried all other csc files with the GB_safe_5 but non of them worked. what is sos_sifous app? does it get CSC files?
[Galaxy Tab General] Bajotaz:
Filen man laddar ner har .pit inne i .tar filen så man väljer bara den i PDA och strunta i resten.

Ingen re-partition men Autoreboot och F reset time ska vara med.

(Om man väljer re-partition så fastnar man i download mode pga korrupt filsystem)

Jag förstår inte varför men det fungerade för mig iaf....
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
Bajotaz: tack så mycket, det fångerat nu att jg inte tryckt på repartition! du är en riktig expert! jag trodde att jag gjorde det fell tidigare för att tablettet fastnat i download mode!

it worked with me, the way Bajotaz described for me, now kies tells me i've got the latest firmware! at last the problem is solved, thanks alot for everybody who helped me in this thread!
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Can you explain to us what he said that finally made it work?
[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
Thats great for you - :) congrat......

And for all who also wants to know, what solves the problem in this case, here is a, to be honest, quite poor translation from me or better Aunt Google :-). But perhaps the native swedish speakers here around can correct it, so that everybody profit something from this thread and this forum (isn't it one the original sense of a forum? To share?)

"The downloaded file has Pit inside. Take the file, you simply select it in the PDA and dump the rest.

No re-partition but AutoReboot and F reset time must be included.

(If you opt for re-partition, so get stuck in download mode due to corrupt file systems)

I do not know why but it worked for me anyway"

and the answer was:

"It workes now, when I use no repartition! you're a real expert! I think I did it wrong in the past and did it before to tablettet stuck in download mode!"

Every better translation and corrections are highly appreciated - Thanks

rgds Rod
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
Here i'll explain to you in english:

get this programme ( CheckFusDownloader_v2.1), only set: android, GT-p1000 and your region (in my case it was nordic), then press firmware check and download. You'll get a zip file unrar it and get the TAR file.

now via ODIN 1.8 flash the stock gingerbread rom (G8GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip) and following that do factory reset/wipe-out in recovery mode. then flash the TAR file you downloaded via the programme (CheckFusDownloader_v2.1) but don't press on re-partition and don't chose a PIT file as it's already in the file! then again factory reset/wipe out. Now again using ODIN (here it worked best ith me using ODIN 1.7 !) flash again (G8GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip) and set repartition this time. after words a final factory reset/ wipe out. Your firmware should become identifiable now on KIES!
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
hmmm, but i found one thing more: when i go to tool and press on firmware upgrade and initializing, i get this message: GT-P1000 dosn't support initializing. does this say that there still something wrong, or this goes for all GT-P1000 tablets?
[Galaxy Tab General] Bajotaz:
Samma här iaf...

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Beginning to suspect that the "initializing" in "upgrade and initializing" is somekind of init for a "upgrade already on device" thingy... And when it's no upgrade present kies says no support for upgrade and initializing.

How wrong am i ?? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] sos_sifou:
i have the same problem, it won't updates no matter what I do, it says "your device can not be updated via kies" this means go for Odin, and please don't bring us your briked tablette because we aren't responsible for what you did (warranty don't cover rooted tabs)

yeah but there is a software called CheckFusDownloader_v2.x look for it and read what it can do. av tried it but it takes too much time to download the firmware, and I think it can push the update via kies for you (didn't try this thaugh)

good luck

If I helped you, please press the thanks button ;-)
[Galaxy Tab General] Bajotaz:
I had that problem "your device can not be updated via kies", but that was resolved by doing the steps in the previous posts.

Now Kies shows my rom as a original samsung rom.

I think the problem is that i (we) run 2.3.3 rom and there are no uppgrade present right now.
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
Exactly, i would like to have a stock 2.2 (froyo) rom like the GB_safe_5 to do these steps and then upgrade via kies to ginerbread! coz i am having few problems with my tablet right now, f.ex. today it didn't want to connect to wifi, and when rebooted was always turning off after seconds, untill i put it to the charger...

[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
found the programme, but what does it repair?
[Galaxy Tab General] ableeker:
I had the same problem, but I fixed it another way. It's not for the faint of heart though.

I had tracked the problem to the Product Code, it had somehow become invalid. The Product Code is set in file /efs/nv_data.bin, and I think Kies reads it from the file, and compares it to the Product Code of the ROM. If they don't match, Kies won't let you upgrade. In my case the code had to be damaged, as Kies was claiming my code was ÿÿÿ.

I checked nv_data.bin and it looked like it had indeed become damaged somehow, as it wasn't 2048 KB, as it's supposed to be, but 2049 KB. The backup .nv_data.bak was was in better shape, I made it the main file, but that didn't work. It too was damaged. The Product Code is set at offset 0x188000. It looked like this:

FF FF FF FF 4D 50 20 31 2E 32 30 30 00 00 FF FF ....MP 1.200....
FF FF FF FF FF FF 47 54 2D 50 31 30 30 30 43 57 ......GT-P1000CW
41 50 48 4E 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 50 02 4E 03 4E APHN.......P.N.N

That's not correct, I know from other people's posts of their Product Codes it should look more like this:

FF FF FF FF 4D 50 20 31 2E 32 30 30 00 00 FF 50 ....MP 1.200...P
48 4E 00 00 00 00 47 54 2D 50 31 30 30 30 43 57 HN....GT-P1000CW
41 50 48 4E 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 50 02 4E 03 4E APHN.......P.N.N

Note the extra code PHN that should have been there but somehow had been overwritten by 0xFF. That explains the odd code in Kies as 0xFF in ASCII is 'ÿ'. I then edited nv_data.bin in a hex editor on my PC to look like the above, and flashed a Froyo ROM I had found on sammobile.com which luckily had a CSC with the correct code PHN. Unfortunately most ROM's from sammobile don't include the necessary CSC, and neither do the files you can download with fus.nanzen.se.

I finally connected the Tab to the PC, and what do you know, Kies recognised the Tab immediately and updated it to GB 2.3.6 successfully!

[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
can you explain to us step by step? i prefer to get froyo and then update to Gingerbread, coz GB is giving me some problems right now!
[Galaxy Tab General] Bajotaz:
In my file i have:

00187ffa ..........M

00188005 P 1.200..GI

00188010 TV....GT-P1

0018801b 000CWAITV

Sooo... if i understand this correctly i have a italian based rom?

If i change the ITV to NEE then Kies will see my rom as a Nordic rom??
[Galaxy Tab General] ableeker:
ITV is indeed the product code for an Italian Tab. Probably flashed with the Overcome Safe Stock v5, which was created from the Italian JQ1?

I think Kies will compare the code for the Tab with the code for the ROM, and it will only allow you to update if the codes match. If they don't match you get the infamous Can't update device error message. I also think the file /efs/nv_data.bin holds the product code for the Tab, and flashing a new ROM shouldn't overwrite this file.

I think the code for the ROM is in the CSC file, but unfortunately most ROM's - not even the files you can download with FUS - don't include the CSC. I was lucky enough to find a JMK Froyo ROM on sammobile that included the PHN CSC for my region.

In my case restoring the Tab to full compatibility with Kies is pretty simple: all I have to do is flash the JMK Froyo with PHN CSC. The code contained in this CSC matches the code for the Tab, so Kies will update the Tab to GB 2.3.6.

Last time I tried this it failed because somehow nv_data.bin had been damaged. So to make Kies recognise my Tab again I had to repair nv_data.bin as described above. With the proper code restored I then flashed back to the PHN ROM for my region and let Kies update it.

This works for me, but I'm not 100% sure all of this correct. Does flashing a ROM overwrite nv_data.bin? And if so, shouldn't it possible to restore a product code just by flashing a ROM with the correct code? This unfortunately didn't work for me, I had to repair nv_data.bin first. Anyway I think it shouldn't overwrite it normally, because nv_data.bin also contains the IMEI. But why then does your Tab have an Italian code?

Does anybody know what exactly is going on with the product code?

Anyway, if I'm correct you could try changing ITV to NEE in nv_data.bin, and then flashing an NEE ROM. Maybe that will make Kies recognise the Tab even without CSC?
[Galaxy Tab General] small_fish:
Bajotaz:do u have nordic CSC files? can u give me a link to download them?

ableeker: can u give us a newbi guide for the process!
[Galaxy Tab General] rodman01:
Perhaps i found another possibility for your problem

Here is a little patcher program you can try:

- start Kies, connect Tab, start patcher, enable spoof true

- in "Spoof Product Code as" dropdown select NEE (or other nordic version?), select it from dorpdown, not write it in with keyboard

- then tick write registry

change back to kies itself and klick: update firmware...

Et voila it works.....hoepfully :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] ableeker:
If GB_Stock_Safe_v5 has codes for more countries, and yours is one of them, it's best to restock to it and to dial *#272*IMEI#*, where IMEI is not the word, but your 15-digit IMEI. This will allow you to select your code.

If you've got a ROM with the CSC for your country, you should first make sure your product code is correct for your country, and then you can flash the correct CSC with the ROM with ODIN.

If your product code is incorrect (like mine was), you should restore the backup of nv_data.bin (.nv_data.bak) in folder /efs. If that doesn't work, or you don't have a backup, and you know your nv_data.bin is damaged, you can try to repair it by hex editing it, like I have described above. This however probably shouldn't be done if you're not sure you know what you're doing, as it may among others damage your IMEI, preventing you not only from upgrading via Kies, but possibly also causing the Tab to be unable to call or use a data connection.

You can also try rodman01's method. I haven't tried it, but ir sounds promising.
