[Q] Gingerbread update with Odin - suggestions pls.. - General Questions and Answers

Dear Members,
I recently purchased a O2 locked Galaxy S from UK. I unlocked it and it works fine with every other network. Before unlocking it, i used to connect it with KIES, where it showed me about the Froyo upgrade [It notified me with the availability of the Froyo firmware update]. After the unlocking though, i am not being able to update my android Pls help.. The KIES says there are "no firmware upgrades" available [the latest KIES]
My Galaxy S Details are :
Baseband version - I9000XXJPK
Kernel 2 . 6 . 29 root SE-S608 #2
Build Number ECLAIR . ADJM1
I now want to upgrade the phone with Gingerbread. I need your help guys. I found the corresponding upgrade files with Odin. There was no direct upgrade files from 2.1 -> 2.3. But I have downloaded the 2.2 Odin files. its relevant for XXJPK. Now In order to upgrade mine from 2.1 -> 2.3, should I update with 2.2 and then upload 2.3. or can I directly update the phone with 2.3 Odin files.
I am not a pro, but i can do the flashing with basic guidance. Could you please help me out here.. I would be so grateful for your replies.
P.S: I have rooted the phone. But nothing else, no lag fixes, nothing. Just superuser. But I never use it.
Looking forward your replies folks. Please help.
is there any other method to make it work pls help members!!
Sincerely,
Lamboram

Hi,
In my opinion there is no update option in Kies, because Samsung didn`t relese any Gingerbread update for your region yet.
But if you realy need to upgrade, there are some Gingerbread ROMs at samfirmware.com, that you could flash through Odin. I sugest the latest stable relese of Darky`s ROM.

[Q] How can I upgrade my i5801 t0 2.2 from US

Hi,My phone is a unlocked Apollo i5801. I can't get 2.2 updated from US ( using newest Kies ) My carrier is AT&T.
Are there any newest rooting tool or easier way to get the Froyo 2.2?
I am new to Android OS also new to this forum.
Second question is: Can Apollo i5801 upgrade to 2.3 directly without getting 2.2 first? Is it possible?
I will be appreciated if any one can help me out.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] i5081 never been updated

Hi all.
I have watched the NOOB Video. I have scoured the forum. I have looked at other Android sites. I,m at a loss.
I have recently been given an old stock GT-I5801 that was never updated and network locked to Orange. To be able to use the phone I unlocked it. I gave my rooted xperia x8 running a hacked 2.2 to my son, as I read that the I5801 had an official Froyo 2.2 update. I installed KIES, updated as requested when first running the software, and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried uninstalling/re-installing KIES and not updating it, I found that the phone had two Home screens (orange and TwLauncher) I tried connecting using both.
I have found instructions on how to put the official firmware update on not using KIES but the links to the firmware its self are broken.
I decided to update to a Android system 2.3.7 / CyanogenMod 7.2, however the instruction require I root it, the instructions to root are for Froyo 2.2
I'm going around in circles, I'm at a loss. can any one point me in the right direction to get at least Froyo 2.2 official on this phone. Thanks.
P.S. I may of ignored the part in the NOOB video that tells us to be brief...........sorry.
Just flash cm7 or any rom with odin, check the flashing guide in sticky thread.

Well if that's the only way, would been nice to have a fully working 2.2 rather than a hack with issues. I'll go look into the least problematic one, cant be any worse than 2.1 stock.

GT-I5801 has indeed been updated to Froyo and Froyo is one of the more stable firmware/ROM for our mobile.
You can download any stock Froyo ROM of your wish from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497261.
Esle, you can look up to this thread to use any of the Custom ROMs which have better features than stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591
I prefer Kisadworx or PuruKisadHybrid.
Download Kyrillos rom or any rom flashable via Odin. Just flash it no need to root as many roms are prerooted.

[Q] Stock firmware needed

Hi guys, I really need some help.
A few months ago my work gave me a Tab 2 10.1 to help me do my job. Since then I rooted it (testing how Mobile Device Management would work with it rooted).
Since then an update came out which I could not install as "Your Device has been Modified"
Last night I tried to install some stock firmware which has now changed my baseband and downgraded the Tab from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4
The original baseband version was P5100BUCLJ1 and is now P5100XXLE4
The kernel was 3.0.31-607512 and is now 3.0.8-654505-user
I am unable to update my Tab as it says there is no updates available (no longer saying modified)
Does anyone have the Stock Rom/Firmware for this model? Its the UK Version and is open to any network.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and desperately needed.
Thanks
Anyone??
Anyone have any ideas? My Tab is working but thinks its branded as O2
