Hi all,
I'm new to the Android world.
This morning I received my i9000 device and already in love with it!
I'm on firmware: I9000XXJF3
On the Samsung Firmwares site I saw a lot of different firmwares.
What firmware would be best for my i9000 (8gb EU model on T-Mobile Netherlands)?
If there is a better firmware, why should I upgrade? Or is better to wait for Froyo?
To change firmware do I need to root the device?
I also read stuff about recovery kernel, do I need to do that first?
Also do I need Odin or do I need another app for firmware upgrading?
What lag fix app do I need?
A lot of n00b question... But I hope someone can help me out.
Tnx!
Hey,
JF3 is the latest official Firmware for your device.
All other firmwares which you saw on the website are leaked firmwares, means they are not officialy released by samsung.
There are already leaked froyo firmwares, but jit is broken and they are more or less in alpha stage, so i wouldn't update to froyo atm. If you want froyo, you should wait for the official release in september.
I recommand JM2, its the most responsive and smooth firmware, in my opinion. JM5 is also very good. but keep in mind, they're both leaked.
To flash a new firmware you need odin, there is a tutorial, just check the stickies in this section.
You dont have to root your device to flash, but if you still want to, there is also a tutorial.

no its not, JF stands for 2010 June
M is not a official code for a month.
JF = Year (J) / Month (F) , Release-Date of Firmware
Year of Release:
A = 2001
B = 2002
C = 2003
D = 2004
E = 2005
F = 2006
G = 2007
H = 2008
I = 2009
J = 2010
Month of Release:
A = January
B = February
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
I = September
J = October
K = November
L = December
So if you have M-Z as month code, its not a official release ^^
Hopefully i am right, if not correct me plz xD

The best firmware right now (but this is subjective) is JM5 if you ask me. It is not official.
You can wait for froyo but JM5 is a massive improvement to JF3 already.
You don't need to root to install firmware.
You don't need custom recovery kernel either .
Firmware upgrading is done in odin.
With JM2 or JM5 you don't really need a lagfix because the phone will be fast enough without. Otherwise both RyanZA and Chainfire's fixes are simple and effective.

Just read the FAQ PLEASE!

Thanks guys for all the answers!
It's a lot more clear to me now!!
Really appreciated. Going to flash JM2 or JM5 this weekend.
Btw does JM2 or JM5 contain the Dutch language? Also Swype in Dutch?
Cheers
before you flash anything make sure your 3 button combo is working properly

Thanks!
Just tried the 3 buttons and I got in recovery mode (when pressing volume up) and got in download mode (when pressing volume down).
I can see 4 options: reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
Also I see the Android with a yellow triangle.
What does the wipe cache partition do? Of course it wipes cache. ;-)
But what is the use of it?
Do I need to flash all 3 TAR files? (CODE, CSC, MODEM)
Code is probably the OS itself, Modem is radio rom but what is CSC?
Anyone?
Lezen?
wiping the cache partition can fix problems with some programs...
I'm new to Bada OS, and I want to update my Phone and in the same time to unbrand it ....
I have an Samsung S8500 and it is braded Vodafone and it is Bada 1.0 ...
I want to upgrede it to 1.2 and in same time to unbrand it ....
I've found the tutorial and the firmwares here http://badawaveapps.blogspot.com/2010/12/flashing-samsung-wave.html but i Don't know what version to flash ... I live in Romania (Europe) so S8500XEKC2 is good ?
Also, the spoof method from here http://badawaveapps.blogspot.com/2011/02/now-spoof-apps-in-official-bada-12-or.html will still work ?
you should flash your phone with xxjk1 ,it is the latest europian firmware which allows you to sp**f apps from menu and it is also bada 1,2 so you get swype too. .
Thank you. This is what I wanted to know.
So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?
What is the difference between the countries in the stock ROMs?
My wife and I both bought the N7100. Mine was Hungarian, hers French (according to the manuals). But both are working fine in The Netherlands with the language set to Dutch.
She's gotten the update to 1.4.2 (non-rooted ) and it seems to be French still (N7100XXDLL4 N7100OXADLL4).
Can I put any ROM on my (rooted) phone (N7100XXALJ1 N7100OXXALJ1), or do I need to get one from the same region?

You can install any region firmware, though you may get a slight difference in signal strength apparently. Though if your wife is already using the French and she has no issues, go for it
Thanks.
I'll try that one.
That is, if the download is working
The modem is the main difference (if any) ... which you can always flash from a stock rom from your actual region over the other region's rom (if required)
Hi,
I have the same question regarding this issue.
Recently my mother bought me a Note2 as a gift in Singapore.
Once I started using it, I found stock app like Singtel which is the telco in singapore, But I have no use of it.
I am currently reside in Brunei. I wish to flash everything stock without any telco apps. How should i do it?>
Thank you.
Download unbranded ROM from here (like Indian ROM) and flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
If you just want to remove some application only without flashing ROM, you can use system appl remover(needs root)
French ROM is installed with mobile ODIN and it seems to work perfectly.
The phone felt laggish, but it's getting better.
Only those damn *HUBs that came with the ROM...
Hello,
ich had installed the official Rom NA & Asia V220 , before, the installed version was V218. In this version , the device works fine.
After the Update, i had Problems with the TouchScreen -> I have created a video for this ->
Since Yesterday, there are new Versions available ( Europe: V124, North America & Asia: V224), beceause my phone was an european version, so i installed Europe V124, but my problem was not solved.
Does anyone have the same problems and how can i downgrade my phone to the version NA & Asia V218. ?
I have tried to unlock the bootloader, to downgrade the phone, but it is not possible (i tried it and have read the thread on this forum)
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks
