So, follow theese instructions:

1) First, connect your phone via USB to the PC and start Kies

2) In Kies, Click Upgrade Button. Do not do anything other than that! Doj not close Kies!

3) Start regedit, and:

Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/

Find there SoftwareRevision, ProductCode and HIDSWVER keys, and edit them to look like this:

"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"

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

4) Back in Kies, close Upgrade, and Click it again. Kies will allow you to upgrade. It does not matter which firmware version it will allow, because you only need it to unbrand your phone. It will also unlock Download mode for you.

5) Follow onscreen instruction. Once Finished, You have your firmware unbranded, SIM unlocked. Close Kies, Kill it in the system tray.

6) Now get back to my previous howto, do not worry, it will work. I have tried it 8 times for now (yeah, my whole family wanted to flash their phones, my friends too, even two colleagues - I had rush weekend).

DO NOT FOLLOW SAM FIRMWARE INSTRUCTIONS! I have already bricked (almost, because recovery mode worked, I have lost nothing) my phone at the friday. This is why I had posted my own howto, to be sure that it WORKS, FINALLY. I am not flashing newbie, because I did similiar with almost all my previous phones (or PDAs, like iPAQ 5450, N72, Nokia E51/E52, you got the picture).

This is why I had posted my howto. I run into the same situation. You are right, I had the same problem with KOR.

Sure, you can. Just select Firmware for Indian from samfirmwares. It does change nothing with my howto. You will simply flash different JPM. Or, you can flash european firmware, but You will not have your language in your phone (for some ppl, english is enough)

Anyway, everybody are welcomed to ask for links to such software (but you shall use SEARCH function first, at least on this forums).

PS: All Samsung Galaxy S I9000/Vibrant/Captivate are runnning on the same hardware (really, the same hardware is running iPhone - at least almost the same), so different firmware of the same version changes only your language selection screen. Do not fear to flash. If you stick to instructions which I had tried myself many times, you will succeed. JPM firmware is much more faster then JPH (which I flashed month ago), more stable, and with lag fix, it is not lagging/force closing again. It works flawlessly, so I think it is really worth it.

I have created standalone thread for my howto, because we are breaking original author's thread. He was writing about flashing with KIES, which I do not.

So, more answers and tips are HERE - There you can find complete pack with tools I have used.

I am having an issue on step 8.. it turns red and says cannot mount.. any assistance greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Great, I'll add that info to the first post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I think it will overwrite the kernel so voodoo will be gone. If in doubt ask in the voodoo thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:

Thanks! I will do that.

It's tough being a noob here. I just wiped my phone no thanks to the 850mhz band thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
LOL, well was it though an app from the market? If so it was probably 1 click lagfix.

Australian SGS 2.2 Vibrating bug

Just did this on my Australian Optus Galaxy S running JG4 (I think).

Everything worked well, except I ran into a weird bug after rebooting the phone.

It was vibrating every 30seconds or so (like a double pulse) then the phone would lock up and I'd sometimes get a message saying "TWLauncher is not responding".

I'm assuming this is to do with TouchWiz and ended up stopping the random vibrating by setting my default keypad to Samsung Default rather than Swype.

Strange fix, but it was pretty annoying until I changed it.

Might be worth waiting a few days if you're on an Australian SGS, otherwise just don't use Swype and hope for the best.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Sorry I should have added that from the start. I had assumed that people looking for JPM would know its an EU rom. Instead people just read Froyo and go nuts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
You guys use the same bands down there?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xarxiusxiii:
Hey, quick question before I flash: will this update give me the same grief the JPC ROM did with network unlock codes? I don't want to flash it only to find out that I'll need an unlock code, when my phone is Orange locked and I'm using an Orange SIM... I'll probably make a backup of /efs anyway, but does anyone have an answer to this question? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mantracom:
just tried this on a UK Orange branded phone- No joy. Error message "the update cannot continue, update manager will now close."

Seems the orange stuff on the device means that even if you apply the reg hacks to fool kies into thinking you are on a generic scandanavian build it still is not fooled.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xarxiusxiii:
Was yours using the official JF3 ROM with all the Orange bloatware on it though? I've updated mine successfully to both JM1 & JPC (JM1 first) through Kies, and now don't have any of that stuff. The only thing is that mine is network locked to Orange.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:
No, not your fault! It was a different xda thread by a different author. He was helping i9000m people missing 850mz bands get it back. Except the first post was a bit unclear. I ended wiping my phone needlessly (I already had the band too!).

As for the person asking about what lagfix they have, try checking your kernel version in your phone info. Mine says 2.6.9 curio@carton #voodoo_lagfix_3.0
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Damage:
Hi

sorry if this a real stupid question

but mine is on JM1 and cpw code

what do i need to change the reg hack to??

thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Just use the values given on the first page, it does not matter what fw you are on. We are just fooling kies into believing the phone is a scandinavian model with stock wares so that it gives us the booty. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jonnie86:
One last thing, do I need to unroot before I upgrade?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] milro1970:
Thanks

Thanks for the instructions. They were most helpful. The upgrade was smooth and everything seems to work ok. We will see... but for now I'm pretty happy with the new adobe flash player upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I didn't and it flashed fine but you will no longer have root after flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jogefo:
I originally have JPK installed with root and OCLF. I uninstalled the OCLF and the Ext2 Tools. Can I use the registry hack to update to the official froyo? After the change in the registry kies allows me to execute the update with the JP6 official update. Should I go ahead and execute or I will have problems? Thx in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
That will work just fine as long as you actually removed the lagfix by using the app. Just uninstalling the app itself does not remove the lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jogefo:
@Dakine Thank you so much for your reply. Do you know if the Version on kies (PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JPM / CSC:JP4) is the same as the JP6 Dutch official version released here on XDA. Which method is safer to upgrade from JPK to JP6; the ODIN one or through Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
No problem :) Sorry I don't know if it is the same. I think I read that the leaked dutch version has some extra apps (or bloat ware) installed.

I'd say odin is probably a little safer than kies. The advantage of flashing though kies is that you keep all your apps and settings intact.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Virnik0:
You should read first post here

It is well explained here.

Just reformat your internal storage, clean cache storage, and do factory reset in the recovery menu. then you are done. I am going nuts from people complaining about something, even when they do not read whole story...

Do you realize how risky your behaviour is? You are doing potentially risky job now, and you are allowing yourself to ignore instructions...

But calm down, if you are at step 8), you are not lost, to say true, you are somewhere in the middle. Your problems comes from not reading, nothing more, because it is not critical one.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] toffeedan:
Hi First time poster, I did the reg hack to flash to Froyo when it was available through kies. I haven't had any problems with it, Its running really well for me. But will want to flash to the new froyo when the release it this month.

My question is when they release the "OFFICIAL" froyo will I have to do a reg hack again to Flash to it with kies? Oh I'm in the uk on vodafone

Cheers guys

Hi I have the I9000XXJM1 version requiring Froyo Update

I have the I9000XXJM1 version and want to upgrade to Froyo but Kies would not allow it. I have installed the old kies and followed your instruction of altering the registry but still no joy, any suggestions. I am a complete newbe on the Android phone so not familiar with various jargon.

I also used this work around as I came from JP6 in Holland and KIES didn't allow me to update. But now I am on JPA. Is this the version for XEN or is there someone from Holland with JPO on XEN?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] traiviet:
guys & gals!

Try this method. It worked for me each time i connected to Kies.

1- If you're updated to the newest version of Kies, UNINSTALL it and download and install the older version instead. I used Kies_1.5.3.10093_82

2- Open Kies, plug in your device and let Kies recognize it.

3- Click on UPGRADE. Kies will deny the upgrade. Click CANCEL BUT DO NOT CLOSE KIES.

4- Open Regedit and edit the followings

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]

"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\N *]

"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU" **

"HIDSWVER"="" ***

"DEVCONINFO"="" ***

* N is a number from 1 to 4 in your Regedit that has the SoftwareRevision and ProductCode info.

** If your ProductCode ends with XEU or XEE, your device will be upgraded to JPO or JPA respectively.

*** Make sure you delete whatever is in HIDSWVER and DEVCONINFO.

5- Close Regedit and Click on UPGRADE again. Kies will upgrade your device in 20 minutes depending on how fast your Broadband is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maabaa:
By the way Virnik0.. Thanks a lot, your method works like a charm.

Started with a trash SFR branded carp FW, 3 buttons combo disabled, simlocked phone.

Now I got a clean Froyo with everything unlocked and working.

Cheers !

Question, now that there are new versions of froyo on samFW, how do I know when I should reformat or not depending on the FW I update to ? (currently JPM)

Hi,

Does anyone have an original 2.1 product code for meteor ireland? Been trying to guess one myself but i'm not having much luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upp3rd0g:
No matter what I try, every time after making the regedit changes the registry values are changed back and Kies keep saying there is no upgrade for me.

Am I missing something trivial here?

(current version: i9000xwjm2/i9000xxjm1/i9000oxxjm1)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Val3r10:
You DO have to use an old Kies build (previous than 100) to make the registry fix working.

Read around a bit more
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upp3rd0g:
Thanx, that solved it. I missed the posts on the version requirements. But still no Froyo for me... now I have to find out why it keeps saying "no response from server, check your internet connection". (At the same time it keeps asking me if I want to upgrade Kies to the latest version, so no problem for Kies connecting to the outside world...)

Hi Guys,

I have a SGS from the Car Phone House (product code CPW) in the UK, I ahve done the following:

- Change the product code in my SGS from CPW to XEU

- Downloaded Kies 1.5.10093-82

- My phone is recognized by KIES

- I have change the registry with the following values :

"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"

"HIDSWVER"=""

"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"

Unfortunately KIES tells me that I can't upgrade the current device:

PDA:JF3, Phone:JF3 and CSC:JF3

Then I have re-installed the KIES software (version 10093-82) here is the registry value before the hack

Software version:"I9000XXJM1/I9000OXAJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XXJM1"

Product code:"GT-I9000HKDCPW"

the strange think is KIES is detecting a CPW product code but when I check on my phone with the following command */272*HHMM/ my phone is set with XEU

Therefore I really need your help as I want to update my phone to Froyo with an unbranded rom from KIES

Thanks in advance for your helpp

i think i just bricked my phone it just hangs in on the galaxy s logo screen!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Its hidden in the settings, you can download an app called cleardefaulthome, all it does is take you to the specific page in the settings menu with one click.

actually it works just updated to froyo!!!! was just gettin paranoid for a ssecond
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
For how long? It took mine a couple minutes to boot up. If it's really stuck just use the 3 button recovery mode and select factory reset. It will wipe your data but at least your phone should boot.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wiisper:
Uhm i updated my phone (disable and then remove lagfix) Now it booted up to the "s" logo but now its stuck on a black screen and randomly (between 20-40s) vibrates. The menu and back buttons are lit but don't vibrate as usual when i press them.

It's going on for about 5 mins now since it booted up. Is it ****ed or not?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Yeah looks like it, you will have to startup in 3 button recovery mode and do a factory reset after that it should boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] srkonus:
I think that that has not to happen. Why i have to do a wipe and Kies is that not doing? Me happend the same and i could recover my phone. I am thinking about to go to a support center when my Kies shows me Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Because kies tries to upgrade your phone unfortunately that doesn't always work because of various apps settings ect that may interfere with froyo starting up. Just backup your data before flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] srkonus:
My problem is that i need up to 2 hours to enter the download mode again to flash with Odin. The recovery mode was never entered by me with my hands to do a wipe.

Maybe a full factory reset in the phone settings first ( not recovery mode)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dotzoki:
Worked like a charm for me. Now I'm on FROYO.XWJP6 :D
