[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
i have just checked my registry and there are 2 number with, HIDSWVER & ProductCode, these are numbers 2 & 8, so which do i edit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Great job. Well done
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
this imo needs to be stickied but with a better title and slighty better description.

there was a post somewhere on here with .reg files that can just be run.

does this allow you to upgrade to any firmware from any firmware? my current flashed firmware says it cannot be upgraded. not that its upto date, but that it actually cannot be upgraded.

EDIT:

1. To the guy above asking about the 2 sets of keys with HIDSWVER in, im guessing that you've connected to Kies. Thats the case with mine, where i can clearly see my device, on JM1 and my girlfriends i connected today and was going to update, which is JF3 still. Hope this helps.

2. So if i replace my value 'I9000XWJM1/I9000OXXJG7/I9000XXJG6/I9000XWJM1' with my girlriends 'I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3' then ill be shown i can update to the official JM1? Does this have any complications either during installation, or because my device is already on JM1. Kies does a full flash anyway doesnt it ?

current question: (solved thanks to OP) Does this (upgrading to JM1) have any complications during installation because my device is already on JM1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Yes, the title is bad... I should have considered it better before posting, as I can't change it now. :(

EDIT: Ah, I needed to go to advanced mode to change the title.. Hope it's better now.

If you feel there's something that's unclear/flawed please do tell and I'll change it appropriately.

.reg files is not really viable as the number of the registry key is not always the same.

Yes. You can flash any firmware available on Kies over firmware from any region and any version. You do need to have the data from an upgradable phone though.

Just make sure ProductCode also matches and it should be possible. In test mode it seems to be possible to reflash even if the firmware version is already available on the phone.

None that I know of.

And also: If you have multiple keys with HIDSWVER and ProductCode, I'm guessing you have connected more than one SGS on your computer. If that's the case, modify the keys where you find the IMEI of the phone you want to upgrade. (I'll add this to the original post too)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
nope mate im the only one with an SGS in the house, and im the only one with access to my laptop, so dont know how i have multiple keys, either way i try it im getting a mtp connecting lopp atm, so im guessing i need to format the phone internal sd card, just have to find a decent free tool to back everything up now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
if you check the keys mate, if they have the same device name but different build numbers, then thats just when youve connected your device on different firmwares. If i was you id delete one of the 'folders' say 8, then connect your device and see if it creates another one, then use that, if not use the other one you had. (dont forget to refresh in regedit!)

sorry if that wasnt clear

btw to backup a free tial MyBackup in market, or Titanium if you have root.

¬ to the OP, the title is great now! the .reg files i was talking about were for each individual firmware! mad i know, but some members probably wont get this, and installing a key is probably easier for them. thanks for clearing things up!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omrij:
Just delete the entire Samsung entry

it will be recreated upon starting kies

and your device will be in number 1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty_uk:
nope i have not flashed it or routed it yet for that matter, and i did a yahoo search for a backup program, using the trial of MyBackup which it if works how i expect it to ill purchase it as it will be good to keep things backed up, was fed up having to re-do all my phone entries when i got the replacement SGS.

yeah i was thinking the same but wasnt sure if it needed it to run in the first place.

edit: i have now just restored my phone back to factory settings, using the factory reset option in privacy in the settings menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
SERIOUSLY HELP!

just done this, going from JM1 with a different modem and csc, to the official JM1, phone was restarting after completed update.... IT WONT TURN ON!

EDIT: with battery pulled it booted again, only to go to a black screen after Galaxy S logo, man i asked before doing this!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omrij:
Official updats from kies don't update your bootloader (no boot/sbl bin files)

try to remove your battery, replace it and then try again

if it still doesn't boot, try entering download mode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
yea just did this and same happened, understandably fuming at the moment.... has anyone got an official JF3 firmware? i dont see any way back now?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omrij:
Enter download mode (hold power+home+vol down)

and flash again with odin
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
yea defeats the whole point of this thread though doesnt it, it cant have been tested or it would have worked... i need a link to

I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3

exactly this nothing else, ive contributed a fair bit on here so would appreciate if someone could sort me out, thanks

before re-flashing is it worth factory reset from recovery, or wiping cache partition? thinking back im sure ive seen this same problem with failed flashes, and this being recommended
[Galaxy S I9000 General] waz000000:
at last finally got this to work!

ive tried every method posted and none have worked this finally has worked.

brilliant stuff many many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rkantos:
Wipe the data from volup+home+startbutton.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sensi_:
Yes im the impatient type and couldnt wait for a reply, just done this and im back! thank F***!

I have the same problem. Only possible to 'update' to jm2/jm1/jm1.

Currently jm1/jm1/jm1.

Nevertheless, you are doing incredible work providing all this information :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
Ok it looks like samsung have pulled it from the server, it's not the first time they've done that! Perhaps they found a bug in it?

The only thing that worries me is if they patch out the reg hack in a kies update, then we'll be screwed if we've got the wrong product code/sw ver and can't change it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] john@pantherex.co.uk:
Your getting me worried now, looks like we missed the boat by a few hours on this one.

Hopefully were not all going to be stuck on jm2/jm1/jm1 when they actually release it properly for the UK. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
I think we will be ok when the UK release comes out. I can't understand why they would want to pull that XEE firmware back again though, mystery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] john@pantherex.co.uk:
mystery maybe . . . annoying definitley. ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rtoussaint:
I have a little problem, maybe you guys can help me understand, or hopefully solve it.

I flashed my JF3 phone to JM2 with Kies. Afterwards, I had some issues with swype and a few other things. I did a factory reset through recovery mode, which made my phone fc everything after bootup. Couldn't get Kies to recognize my phone anymore in normal mode, so I flashed to JP6 with odin (first flashed JM8, just as samfirmware states). Now everything is sort of okay, except for the fact that my ANDROID_ID is not unique anymore, making some apps not work anymore. Most annoying is the fact Fast Web Install doesn't work anymore since it uses that ID. I have no idea how to fix this, would flashing to an official firmware via Kies this way, preferably Froyo, solve this problem? TIA

no froyo for me

I have a Galaxy s from 3 Austria. I changed registry from

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDDRE"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"

"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

Now after upgrade, I have:

I9000XWJM2/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2

GT-I9000HKDDRE

the 3 branding is gone, but in the phone it says :

Firmware version:2.1-update1

Build number ECLAIR.XWJM2

So, what is going on here? Why is it? Any idea?

Thanks

Bell SGS flash problems

So i am really new to all this stuff so please forgive my noobness. I read through a bunch of threads, searched etc... I have a Canadian SGS from bell (I9000M). I read that you needed to remove the M in the name in-order for the upgrade to be recognized. Did that and it seemed to work like a charm until it booted and i was still on eclair... From what i understand, this is cause samsung pulled froyo? Then i attempted to use the uk codes and flash it. It seemed to go the same way until it booted and i still had all my apps....

I dont know whats going on anymore and just want to flash it back to the stock firmware but cant find the codes. I have the product code but not the software revision and hidswver.

Sorry in advance if this makes no sense, or if i just overlooked stuff in my inexperienced state
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sgvikramsgv:
This procedure is awesome.... I had upgraded my Galaxy S to Froyo and was facing few issues. (SMS were not able to pick the right contact, Bulk SMS sending fails). I was searching for a way to revert back to EClair 2.1. This procedure worked like a charm.

Thanks bro for the post. Its in my bookmarks now...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
Is it true that samsung blocked kies reg hack now?

I've been waiting for UK froyo update since I reckon nordic froyo was just sort of a beta version. (Maybe that's why they pulled it out)

When UK version comes out, will I still be able to update through kies hack?

It is so much easier than odin flash in my opinion.

I know there are many instructions on the forum but they differ very much like some people say csc and pit file with re-partitioned is required and some people say it isn't.

Kies on the otherhand, with just a reg hack, it is a breeze.

So anyone know if kies hack will be blocked by the time UK froyo rolls out?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Val3r10:
Ok, we can forget about froyo for a while.

In the meantime, I changed my CSC/SalesCode with the described procedure in another thread, and everything worked from XEH to ITV, including the nv_data.bin file with a hex editor.

BUT, when trying to realign/update everything in the new code (i.e. from JF3 to stock JM2), I always get from Kies the error "This device's version cannot be upgraded"

What's missing in the CSC replacement ?

I even reinstalled Kies from scratch and verified it correctly recognizes my SGS with these defaults:

"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XWJM2/I9000OXAJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000XWJM2/I9000OXAJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDITV"

So, when trying to enforce JM2/JM1 to JF3, for example, I always get the above error...

Is there a way to make Kies believing my new code as genuine ?

Thanks a lot

samsung delayed again froyo,samsung shame on you!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boroladcraig:
I dont even know where to begin! lol

I started off with Firmware:

Software revision: I9000XXJF3/I9000ORAJE5/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3

Product Code: GT-I9000HKDORA

HIDSWVER: I9000XXJF3/I9000ORAJE5/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3.

I then changed my Reg Files to:

Software revision: I9000XWJM2/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2

HIDSWVER: I9000XWJM2/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2.

I cant remember what product code I put down. However it is still showing GT-I9000HKDORA

I am now on PDA:JM2, PHONE:JM1, CSC:JM1

.........................................

When I press *#272*HHmm# it only shows XEE, I do not have any more Codes that I can select.

.........................................

I wish to revert back to my original firmware (installed by Orange when i got the phone). To do this, I believe I have to trick the regfiles into thinking they are an old firmware, and thus allowing me to update to the official Orange firmware. This is obviously dependant on whether Kies will allow me to "update"

.........................................

Any help would be much appreciated

REG HACK doesnt work anymore?!

I just installed new version of Kies (1.5.3.10103_100) and found out that the REG HACK doesnt work any more. When I try to change the Product code, it switches back after I ran the Firmware updater.

So I uninstalled the new version and installed the older version (Kies_1.5.3.10093_82), but now I´m still getting message "This device version cannot be updated":mad:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MCOGW:
Even if the Reg-Hack would still work, this wouldn't be successfull at all.

Afaik they pulled JG9 back from FUS because of some very bad issues.

The oldest available one is JH5 now
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
You need a version of kies that came out before froyo started rolling and the latest update of kies which accompanied it (don't have version numbers on hand).

Reg hack involves:

1. Install and older version of kies, like, the one that comes on the CD in your original packaging box.

2. Change the reg setting which had version information to fool samsung's servers into thinking you have the latest version (which reg hack won't work with).

3. Change the relevant info about firmware etc. to fool samsung's servers into thinking your phone is actually running a firmware from a region which is 'allowed' to upgrade to froyo.

I don't have exact details of the reg hacks but it's ben posted a thousand times. One thing not mentioned is that you NEED to use an old version of kies AND change the version reg values to those found in the latest version.

From Australia using Vodafone JH1, I did this a month ago and had XXJPO unbranded in 20 min running. All my apn setting s remained, contacts apps everything! IMEI remains the same. The key is to not factory reset. Swype is the main app that gets confused with reg hack, so disable wipe cache on recovery boot then re-enable.

Hope this helps, reg hack still works fine, did it for a friend yesterday without a hitch

Are you sure it's still working? It was working for me before, 2 or 3 weeks ago - this is how I got Froyo. And when tried it again today, no matter what firmware version I put in registry, what product code, what versions of Kies in "LokalVer", all I get is: "This device's version cannot be updated" Could you please check it once more, and if it still works for you, please share exact details of the reg hack.

Thanx.

The "old reg-hack" isn't working anymore with latest Kies (1.5.3.10103_102)!

They're gathering the informations directly out of the device now. And they added some etxra Reg-Keys for this too.

But you can try this very nice tool to do the job ;)
