What is TMN region? Does it have Romanian T9 and romanian language? I'm interested in upgrading from my XFJM1/XXJM1 rom to a JM8. Which should I choose? Are they more? Noob or not? :)) Please help:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pfannenwender:
can i reflash my jm1 with this method?

if yes? what do i have to enter for an unbranded german i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Yes, you can reflash a firmware. You didn't state your product code so I assume OXA. I can't test at the moment, but I would think it should work with HIDSWVER I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3 (replace OXA with your product code if it's something else)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gardien:
If you do that you will get some branding and some (system) apps (all incl. in this firmware). You can delete them but that requires rooting and deleting these apps manually. I have done it and it works and it is slightly better then jm1

hi

i am from roumania.

i have a galaxy s locked in orange and i made a update,with yours advices,but i need 2.2 version,froyo.how its possible to make that with kies,i dont like odin,its dangerous,with kiel its safe.

wait for advice.THX
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
You can't.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pfannenwender:
thanks for that.

but sadly i cant upgrade and get this error:

could this be related to me not having figured out how to enter the test mode?

when i press ctrl+alt+u+p nothing happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
What version of Kies do u have? If it's the latest one (1.5.3.10093_31_1), I think you can't enter test mode anymore. Should try with Kies_1.5.1.10074_2_6 or Kies_1.5.1.10074_45 (not sure about that one either).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MCOGW:
The latest Kies Version is 1.5.3.10093_80!

There you can activate Test-Mode only via Registry-Key (Samsung/FUS/FUS_TEST)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
confirmed it works with the newest Kies as well 1.5.3.10093_31_1

using the registry hack to re-enable the Test Mode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mit78:
hi

its possible to upgrade at jm8?please advice me!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
Nice one! Was there any froyo available in test mode though?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
As far as I know no firmware is available in test mode. So setting it is quite useless.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Shujitzu:
This is great...

It should be added to "how to" thread with a list of what codes are use in different countries.

I've been searching this kind of solution since I started flashing trying mod ified firmwares. Now everything on my phone is back to officia one.

Thanks, Big thumbs up....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pharaohdk:
well no one have replied to my post in here so asking again.

could someone come with the settings for a Danish unbranden firmware.

I´ve tried with

"HIDSWVER"="I9000XWJFB/I9000XEEJG1/I9000XXJF5/I9000XWJFB"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"

it still say there is no update. and test mode is on

--

oh and this is what I´ve currently got on my phone.

"HIDSWVER"="I9000XWJM8/I9000XEEJM1/I9000XXJM4/I9000XWJM8"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"

It´s also running voodoo lagfix, rooted and custom rom, could any of that cause the issue ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sirphunkee:
I've made this thread a sticky now, it's a great reference for those unfamiliar with this method ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MCOGW:
For me (using Kies 1.5.3.10093_80) it makes no difference if Test Mode is switched on or off. The Update can be started with both settings.

So far I tested these combinations:

Unbranded official 2.1 Firmware for Germany:

If "HIDSWVER" is set to: I9000XXJF3/I9000DBTJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3

and "ProductCode" is set to: GT-I9000HKDDBT

Kies offers to update to: PDA: JM1, PHONE: JM1, CSC: JM1

Branded(TMN) official 2.1 Firmware for Portugal:

If "HIDSWVER" is set to: I9000XWJM2/I9000TMNJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2

and "ProductCode" is set to: GT-I9000HKDTMN

Kies offers to update to: PDA: JM8, PHONE: JM4, CSC: JM1

Would be interesting to check a few more combinations...

I discovered an interesting point in both combinations i tried:

I can enter everything i like as the second value of "HIDSWVER" (i.e. 12345678910)

In this case Kies doesn't seem to check the second value. The update will start just the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bellang:
Thanks for the guide here, succesfully unbranded my T-Mobile ebay purchase and got the new firmware on it. Battery life compared to old is nothing short of amazing!

Time for the odd and probably poor question from an Android newbie. To truly unbrand a phone, I'm guessing the only way is to be able to change the ProductCode on the phone to XEU from TUK. Is there anyway to do this? Just wary Samsung get wise to this reg hack and I'm left with an un-updateable phone.

Also, in case anyone else is enquiring, this won't fix the 3 button problem if you had it previous. About to try the other guide for that one....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coradux:
It is possible to upgrade to an official JM8 but unbranded? What is the best Eclair official JM release and how can we upgrade to it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
I don't think any region offer an unbranded JM8, so if you want that you'll have to turn to Odin and samfirmware (or other source for the firmware to flash).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coradux:
Odin doesn't have a recovery option like Kies. I've tried to fix the 3 buttons combo installing the fix for Canadian Bell through Kies and it was unsuccessful and the phone was ok. After that I've tried to root the phone with Odin, unsuccessful, and Odin restarted my phone --> bricked (paid 50 euro to fix it). That's why I will never use Odin again. With Kies I was also able to downgrade from JPK to JM1, upgrade to JM8 branded, reverted to JM1 unbranded. I think it's the safest method. The only bad experience with Kies was flashing JPH (but with host files hack, so it wasnt Kies fault because it wasn't an official firmware) without backing up my efs folder. JPH firmware messed up my efs files and now I can't unlock it, not such a big problem, still able to unlock it by IMEI. I've only used Odin to apply the latest fix for 3 buttons combo (with success). Not willing to risk anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frriction:
If the registry you are trying is the lhe latest one then kies will tell you that you got latest vesrsion. When you change the registry kies checks it with available version and gives result. For example for my phone vesrion is dtjg4 if I want to reflash it I have wright in registey that my phone got dtjf3 and kies shows I got update. So you should figure out old firmwarw version no.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OneDream:
I can't get this method to work. :( I keep getting the "The Device version can not be updated" message". It somehow doesn't matter which productcode I'm using, no effect at all. Damn it.

PS: I've installed the latest Kies version

PS 2: I'm currently on JF1, but can't even upgrade to JF3, which should be available in my region.

For Australia : Unbranded

Device UID : 9000B0AA1830_02
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taxiback:
I upgraded my UK GT-I9000 using Odin to I9000XXJPK and rooted it and ran the One Click Lag Fix APK - 2.0 and have been very pleased with how it ran and in 4 days have not found any bugs.

Knowing that the official Froyo is due any time now I thought I would see if I could downgrade to an official rom in Kies as per your instructions and it worked and my phone is now on JM1.

When I connect my now JM1 I9000 to Kies and click the firmware upgrade it says:

Model Name: GT-I9000

Current Version: PDA:JM1 / PHONE:JM1

This device's version cannot be upgraded.

Does this meen when the official froyo 2.2 comes out I will have to use Odin to flash it?

Paul.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MCOGW:
Did you remove OCLF and restarted the phone before flashing back to JM1 using Kies?

The information about your CSC Version is missing.

Looks like something went wrong there or maybe there's some problem with your ProductCode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taxiback:
No the phone was still rooted and still had the OCLF installed. What are you telling me?

I am new to all this but found it very easy to update to froyo and root the phone using Odin3. My phone is working as it should by the way.

Paul.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MCOGW:
Normally it should look like this in Kies:

Current Version: PDA:JM1 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1

What exactly do you get if you try *#1234# on the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taxiback:
It says:

PDA: I9000XXJM1

PHONE: I9000XXJM1

CSC: I9000OXAJM1

I see the last one CSC is different, what does that mean?

hi did u got rid of this problem? i get the same issue
[Galaxy S I9000 General] loki1:
do as the original op says this will unbrand it to jm1 firmware but do as i did if you have problems with kies and download an older version of kies from the the link in Shujitzu (thanks again :)) post and unistail the new version.

kies is a right pain i had to flash my phone several times before it would work but now running well with jm1 .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lawliett:
So. I'm new to this. Is it possible to upgrade to JM8 using this? Also, do I have to unroot my phone and uninstall OCLF? What's the difference between flashing the official version and one from Odin?

Edit: PDA: JM2 / PHONE: JM1 / CSC: JM2

Edit Edit: Went ahead and tried it. Got to update to PDA: JM8 / Phone: JM4. Will post update on how it goes. Wish me luck >.<

Edit Edit Edit: Okayyyyy...So I'm either really stupid or something went wrong. The update went fine. But after the reboot, the phone was the the galaxy S screen (with the glowing S) for at least 2 minutes and now it's Black Screen for at least 5 minutes...Is this normal or has something gone horribly wrong? perhaps I should have undone that OCLF....

Help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] loki1:
it does take a little bit longer after update but should be fine after the first boot if not ithis is what i done take out your sd card and boot the phone int update mode volume up + home + power button and the do a factory reset this my help if not try to flash it again mines took 3 attempts through kies hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mackaxx:
The unbranded australian stuff doesn't appear to work for me.

I can get others to go no problems.

Unsure how i should proceed now, I've used kies to get to the branded optus firmware which is fine as it is. Would be nice to get back to the unbranded version though.

hey guys , please recomand wich code to insert , i now have

product code: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

the phone was branded ORANGE Romania but i had to change the mother board, and i had it back from service with Vodafone soft... so what code i need ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MCOGW:
Enter *2767*4387264636# in your phone.

At [2] you can see your Product-Code. I think the last three letters are some of these CNX, HAT, ORO, COA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonreviad:
ProductCode: ORO

HIDSWVER: I9000XWJFB/I9000OXX/I9000XXJF5/I9000XWJFB

This currently updates to I9000XFJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000OXJM1. Incidentally, that was the initial configuration I had when I bought my phone(XWJFB) - before I started fiddling around with other ROMs.

Although you should probably just wait until Froyo gets released (they said they'd provide it in mid-october...).

The product code for Vodafone Romania is either HAT or CNX. I think CNX, but I'm not sure...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coradux:
Thanks, I've allready found a Hidversion to make Kies work. I wanted to install it exactly because official Froyo will come up. I want to make the update from clean official JM1 to JP??. Every time I update I start first with clean install of JM1.

Anyway, this JM1 that we receive with Product Code HKDORO has the last kernel (same with JPM) and the ORO csc files really works this time. You can find ORANGE APN's in mobile networks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
lol yea :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Xtommes:
Yes, that is the way it works for Germany, if your Product Code is HKDDBT (from OXA).

To ensure, your hack works, Kies has to be left open, as the author wrote.

Newly attached, your old version in the registry appears again.

Make a copy of your registry, anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] coradux:
You can update know to official JP6 through Kies from JM1 with Product Code XEE (nordic countries). I'm doing a factory reset now on JM1 to clean upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MC Mate:
so ? is it normal to have xxxx product code ? please tell me if it's safe, also my phone doesn't have any more the 3 key combo option...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gardien:
I just change the product code and got the option to install JP6. The upgrade went fast although the first boot of the phone to ages and even after boot up it seem to be still doing 'something' in the background but now it working very fast and smooth. It is a unbranded firmware and definitely worth it :)
