Please use search feature.
1) only "Roms" really available are the deodexed and unbloated stock files available via Odin flashing.
2) We are all waiting for Clockwork to be published for this Phone before the serious roms from the various groups become available

I would start here. Then just read ALLOT. If your kinda new to the whole Samsung thing you might read this too, it will help. Just remember This is not a vibrant! But the tools work pretty much the same. Just don't flash anything from the vibrant forums.

T959V Language

Hello,
Ive bought SGH-T959V in the USA. Actually, i live in Poland, Europe. Is there any way to install Polish language? Can i for example, flash the phone with Android which supports Polish language? I have 2.2.1 Froyo installed now. Downgrade/Upgrade will brick the phone? I could for example downgrade to 2.1 Polish firmware. Is it possible? Thanks in advance

Try morelocale2. Not sure if polish's on it, but my friend uses that for korean. Luls

Check out the sgs4g bible in the development part of this forum on how to do it

if the firmware is made for the sgs4g, then yea, you should be able to odin it.
if you are going to unlock it, then i would recommend calling up tmobile and getting it done for free. the guides are tricky and people seem to be corrupting their imei if they dont know what they are doing

I would definitely second this. T-Mobile has great customer service, so if you ask within reasonable bounds, they'll definitely help you.

[Q] I'm Interested in Rooting my Samsung 4G. More Info?

I'm new to the android world. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S 4G from Tmobile and I wanted to know where I can find more information about rooting my phone. Also, what rooting would do? Basically all the basic information about how rooting will enhance my phone and what I'll be able to do with it that I can't do now.
Thanks!

you can search google for what rooting will do.
for the dev stuff on this forum, search for the bible thread and it will link everything you can possibly want to do with this phone.
once you read and have an idea of what you want to do, let me know if you have any specific questions and i would be glad to help you out...

please read...

Correct Kies exe for recent ICS.

I've gone to the link provided in the txt message sent my AT&T and downloaded Kies, but it keeps asking for it to update...I uninstalled and reinstalled and no luck. Anyone have the correct ICS Kies exe they can post?
Thanks in advance, and yes I also have a Galaxy Note and successfully updated that but having trouble with Skyrocket.

I could've sworn I stated it keeps asking to update...Maybe I wasn't clear, I've updated it 10 times but nothing. I've uninstalled 3 times and reinstalled and nothing. I know Samsung is experiencing issues with their servers, initially that's the same issue alot of us Note users had. Someone was able to post the correct version of Kies (exe file), but can't seem to be happening for the skyrocket.

Edit the registry, remove kies entries, reboot, reinstall
See how that does

So u give him the same exact link from the text? The download button at the bottom of the page is the exact same version he has now. I know you're trying to help but dig a little deeper next time.

Unfortunately that is the correct file. I'd try a complete uninstall and reg sweep, reboot, reinstall. Seems something borked during the setup.

Ya many people had the same issues updating their Note's, someone though posted the exe file and it worked... just need to verify the correct version for the Skyrocket and i can update the Kiesversion.txt file to the correct one to see if it works.

This is the odin version. This should at least get to running.

that info is on my sticky in general, if going from ics to ics it seems to not wipe data, going back to gb is a hit or miss, usually a miss. but i need more confirmation on this

Lol I don't need to go back to stock nor do I need odin. I need the correct Kies version smh.

I'm experiencing the same thing on my work laptop. I'm in the middle of a business trip so I can't try another machine. I'd love the direct link to the correct Kies installation as well.

If you are trying to get the update, there have been a few suggested ways to get it. Shake your head some more and take the help or keep searching.
Kids like you make the vets not want to help.

First off if you and everyone else who posted and or replied would've read the OP, you would've seen what I was asking. FYI child I ain't no kid, one simple question was asked and idiots like you reply the wrong way. So first off if you want to be helpful I'd change the way you approach or reply to people's comments and do some reading. You do know how to read right? Not trying to be rude or be an asshole by saying so but many people on here think they big and bad, when in the "Real" world they nothing but scrubs. Again one simple question was asked, but people need to take the time to read before looking like jackasses and replying with something not even close to the original question asked.

First off, this post is in the wrong place. If you are asking for something, you need to post in Q&A. Second, please don't be abrasive to other members, especially those ones trying to help you out.

Actually if you see they weren't helping, they were quick to judge "cough cough" and failed to read the OP. Thanks for moving

Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1 google search for that version, it will want to update so let it.
i though it was a problem so i uninstall'd my kies then installed this did the update and all is working as it should.
so i can confirm this ver works on a win 7 x64 if it still wants to update after updating it then there is something wrong with your computer,
give it a try.

[Q] Trying to set up new APN

I am trying to set up a new APN on my Galaxy S after switching providers. I can set up the new APN successfully, but I cannot delete the old one, and it keeps reverting back to it no matter how many times I try to switch it back. There is a disable function, but it doesn't seem to work on the original APN. I can make calls and receive messages, but I cant access web. I called my new provider (Straight Talk/Tracfone) and they said it is because it isn't unlocked. When I called the old provider (T-Mobile) they said if I could receive calls the phone is unlocked.
Thanks for any help!

Still looking for help!

Anyone? Please and thank you!

Are you on the stock gingerbread? I think it pulled that stunt every reboot.

As Champ hints at, you really need to
Confirm that you have a SGH-T959V, not some other "Samsung Galaxy S" phone
Let us know exactly what firmware you are running (often in About phone)
Please remember XDA is primarily a forum for and about development and that there aren't a lot of people that frequent here any more. We'll try to help you as we can, but silence generally means that you've either posed an incomplete question, or nobody has an answer for you.

Read, read, and read again. Lumin30 did a great job in this thread....
Several options (as I see it).
1. Search xda for "super one click root" and run that from a pc.... some have had problems rooting this phone with it though.
2. Read that thread (first couple of pages for sure) & and flash a new kernel that will also give you root. I would recommend byran's subtle... it's linked in the thread.
