Hello all, I have a Galaxy S that is unlocked, i have been trying to install Android 2.2 using the latest Kies software, but all i keep getting is the following.
Current Ver: 2.1 - Update, PDA:JF3 / Phone:JF3 / CSC:JE5 This version of the device cannot be updated.
My wife has the same phone on the Orange Network, this updated straight away with no problems, and works just fine.
I was wondering if it is the fact that if the phone is unlocked, and the update is not possible. We live in the UK. Any help would be greatfully received.
Thank You
I was hoping that this would be the Forum that would have least given a reply to my thread, but it seems not so. I notice that over 200 hundred people have looked at the question.
I live in hope than an answer will be forthcoming, even if somebody tells me to go away.
What kind of Galaxy S do you have?
You can do the registry hack for kies to change your product code and update to the generic rom, however I believe this hack has been patched for the most recent version of kies. I'll see if I can find a link to the hacking guide for you.

My baseband number is 11.55_3504_00p_11.19.3504.29_2 please help me get the latest one, I downloaded one and it was only android version 2.3.3 and the market was old as well and it would never find any updates when I checked. Please help a noob find the right one because I cannot find it .
Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is the wrong area as i am new.....
I am currently starting to get into bulding roms etc, but i am wanting to revert to stock however i cant find one for australia. Is there any issue using a stock ruu from a diferent region, and if so what are they?
I have ICZ at the moment and want to wait for the OTA update to start modding that, and just want to be able to go back to GB for now.
Also to install an ruu should it be done directly from phone or via pc and usb connection?
I am thinking of installing a runnymede rom from europe. Does anyone have any suggestions as to if this will allow me to get the proper ICS OTA upgrade? Or any ideas on how to install a stock rom in australia??
Thanks very much, John
Find you phone in the forum and go to development post your topic there or in the help section of that phone section.
Thats the best i can do
So recently i bought an HTC One S with an S3 processor which its country is of Asia. I am currently at europe. I still am on Android 4.0.3 and there doesnt seem to be an update for my phone. Now i know that 4.0.4 and also JB are rolling out, but not for my device. Is there anything I can do to solve this ?
Thanks :laugh:
I live in a country where HTC sell the S3 processor only. I had my cousin sent me HOS from US, big difference.
You might want to trade for an S4 though.
In the meantime you can search the development forum and look for an S3 ROM.
Not many but there are some.

HOS stands for Htc One S and a Rom is basically an operating system for your device that is nothing like stock, has tweaks here and there things that stock doesnt, and if you root you will.still be able to receive updates but you have to relock the phone and some other things I can't remember then you can apply the update, basically you can't apply update to a rooted phone its just gonna give you and installation error then reboot your phone I think but that's basically it for your questions, hopefully it was helpful to you

A friend told me that if i root the phone i can change my firmware from Asia to Europe where i live so that i can recieve updates accordingly to my phone. Is this true ?
Also is there a detailed noob instructions for me to follow and learn more about rooting the phone and installing customs ROMS etc. ?
Thanks

If you root, you can manually install all sorts of fun stuff. I think if you want to remain as close to stock and receive "official" updates, super cid is something you might wanna read about. There's a thread in the Dev Section by Torxx that I used to root my S4 you might wanna look over and see if that's for you. Make sure everything you decide to do is compatible with your S3 first though.
Edit: there's also another guide in the general section

hello, is there any stock rom for this tablet bough in China? While upgrading (the officially way lol), it got bricked. I have found one thread with link to russian lenovo site with plenty of firmwares (http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/category/49-прошивки-lenovo-a10-a7600/), but it seems no one is supporting the SIM for calling as in description. I am very grateful for any help (friends device, right?). If trying to get into recovery menu, it writes "wrong order".
Also how to put new fw there? Do I need special tool as a Odin, or is it some kind of direct upgrade from SD card? Thx.

Hello,
solved the issue. Another version of flashing tool worked with some obscure version of firmware.
