I bought a P6800 in Kazakhstan. I have no idea which region it originally came from - its in a bog standard Samsung pack with English documentation and no regional labels or languages evident.
The P6800 is on Android 3.2.
I have tried to make it update software (by wifi and 3G) in Kazakhstan, Russia, UK, Denmark & Spain so far.
Each time, after the "connecting to server" dialogue, it returns "no update available".
KIES/internet doesn't indicate an available update either.
Any idea what Android it should be updating to, and/or if there is any region specific issue?
This is the data listed under "about device":
Baseband version:
P6800XXLA3
Kernel version:
2.6.36-P6800XXLA4-CL616407

if i'm not mistaken... its either from portugal or rusia firmware...
anyway you can download the latest firmware which is Ice Cream Sandwich from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469635
and learn how to update your device via Odin software.
oh... one more thing... you can actually use any region firmware on your device
Update availability is determined by csc code not by country you attempt to update from. You can always update via odin if you want ICS and it isn't available for your tablet, there are plenty of guides around on how to do this just search the forums.
If you want to check your csc open phone app and dial *#1234#

Kies reports: "your device does not support software upgrading via Kies".
Kies shows the firmware version as: PDA:LA4 / PHONE:LA3 / CSC:KL1 (XSG)
Seems strange that there is no official Samsung way to update other than by using a third-party app such as Odin.
your CSC is XSG = United Arab Emirates...
Kies can only upgrade via region... as the smart software detected that you are not in the support region... that's why it report you dont have any software update.
so go and read my last post and download the firmware from that site and use odin to update...
btw... odin is not a 3rd party software... it is a maintenance software leak by samsung staff.
Code:
Odin was software that was first leaked back a couple years ago from Samsung. Samsung uses or used it to "flash" or "install" firmware/os/kernels/radio's onto the devices. Samsung still uses it or a form of it in certain releases as a Window's Upgrade Tool as its been known. Its still basically old Odin underneath a custom Window's UI skin.
Better stick to Honeycomb...
I made the mistake to update my P6800 to ICS with the result that I have endless troubles with WiFi now. I contacted the local Samsung Service Center and on monday I will be there to downgrade again and get back usable WiFi again. Looks like Samsung is not willing to fix the broken WiFi Stack in ICS on the Tab 7.7...
you can use ics but using HC modem files... you need to extract modem.bin files from HC firmware and flash it with odin.
No wifi probs for me on ICS

Me either. You are better off giving ICS a try, the performance improvement alone is worthwhile. If you happen to have wifi problems you can always downgrade to HC.

Assuming that there really is no gingerbread XEU firmware (which I'm having a hard job believing, this is a current model on sale in the stores right now) then that might be the only way to do it. But I really want to find an official XEU GB firmware for the I9003 if there is one out there.
Is there anyone else here who has an unlocked I9003 UK model? what firmware are you running?
Need XEU
I too have a GT-I9003 which I bought online last year. The original CSC was TGY (Hong Kong I think).
I flashed XXKPE/XXKPQ/XXKPU so I now have latest Gingerbread but I am stuck with a CSC of SER (Poland or Russia?).
Everything works fine. Kies sees it as latest. It's just annoying to be stuck with an eastern CSC.
Would also welcome any tips on how to get to CSC of XEU.
Rather wary of spoof apps.

Hi
I have Samsung galaxy Apollo I5800 brought from Carphone warehouse U.K. last year. Its a Unlock phone. I want to downgrade to eclair (2.1 update1)
below is Phone info i want to restore it to based upon research i have done.
Firmware Version 2.1-Update 1
baseband version I5800XXJG3
kernel Version 2.6.29
[email protected] 32
build No
ECLAIR.XXJG7
PDA:JG7 /PHONE:JG3/CSC:JG5(XEU)
current firmware version: PDA:JG7 /PHONE:JG3/CSC:JG5(XEU)
latest firmware version: PDA:JG7 /PHONE:JG3/CSC:JG5(XEU)
trouble being i can only find the eclair.xxjg6. do anyone know where i can find xxjg7 as it is not on sammobile.com
As far as im aware, all the firmware on samfirmware is "official" release from samsung. flashing any eclair firmware should do the trick, just make sure its for your region. or as said just flash a froyo firmware with odin. kies isnt brilliant anyway. when i had eclair and before id modded my phone at all i searched for updates and it told me i was updated. despite froyo being out for a year!
problem with samfirmware is most of it does not work with kies. the ones that do are for france spain slovenia and italy
Just flash it via Odin.

Hello Everyone,
I tried to flash my tab 2 back to stock , but now it is not working anymore.
It boots until the samsung logo and then does not work anymore. (it shows galaxy tab and logo with sound).
When I push on/off button it resets and then it starts again until the samsung logo.
Turning of is also not possible. Entering odin with power volume up down does not work either (unit boots on).
When I connect it to PC and press off, it start loading (icon appears) and after unplugging it stays off.
Windows however reports : Found new hardware OMAP4430.

Hello everyone! I have a question to ask.
On September 4, was released on SAMMOBILE, SWISS(switzerland) version 4.0.4 for GALAXY TAB P5110 2 10.1 P5110XXBLH4 that requires firmware P5110XWALD2 (downloadable from XDA) ... so my question is should I not solve every problem? That is, I explain you, I installed cyano10 but I did not like .. I decided to go back to the stock firmware but I did not find the Italian version on the web ... so I was advised by a guide on this forum to install the latest version of the tablet P5113 because between those two terminals only changes that the P5113 has the infrared. Then I ask me for a 100% stock firmware on Kies recognized with P5110, should I install the P5110XWALD2 and then update with version 4.0.4 P5110XXBLH4?
Is a better upgrade to the Swiss version P5110XXBLH4 or the latest version of Luxembourg P5110XXBLI1.
Let me know as soon as possible thanks!
Hi! I have a question!

Hi all,
I am trying to follow up on the rumours of ICS being released in the UK via Kies. However, I have a US firmware on my SGT 7+ (P6210UELA3) and I'd like to get the UK version (or EU if there isn't a UK one) on there to see if I can grab the ICS update.
Does anyone have a link to the official UK/EU firmware from which I can grab and flash the ROM?

He heard it here from qubeuk user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28725729
It may be a short-term released firmware he accidentally updated to, but it's not available yet. According to its build time, it was compiled some hours after the P6200 firmware.
I understand Samsung strategy. Releases only one firmware per device per week, only for one small region. They know xda members will jump on it, install it, and besides Austrian users, experienced users will stress-test the firmware. Maybe they solve bugs, too, like the P6800 WIFI bug (and I bet this can be applied to P6200 users, too, check P6800 forum). After testing that, they will fix all errors and release firmwares for all regions and all models in a few weeks.
And, they're right. No better and cheaper testers than experienced users. And this way, simple users will just get a stable version later.

I don't wanna get into a useless fight but think it over again. Open your eyes and see what happens when a device like tab7+ comes to surface months after ICS is introduces with HC installed and almost a year is needed to get ICS in a very limited region first, but letting experienced users to install it on their device. Why? Money?
Believe me, this is the strategy. This way, major bugs affect only a few "official" users (Austrian people), but experienced ones can find all bugs by using and testing devices for free. Why? Less investment?
So, "sorry", but believe this is how it works. And I believe your opinion is based on decades of software production knowledge, but mine is.

Here is the link for the official UK 4.04 ICS firmware for the P6210 I've downloaded and installed via Odin today on 2 6210's no problems and much better than honeycomb. I also change my CSC as mine was set to France and now set to UK so updates via Kies work etc.

I used a program from the play store which change the CSC from XEF (France) to XEU (UK) link below. It didn't state that it work for the GT-P6210 but did work fine with a little messing. If I ran it from 3.2 Honeycomb it didn't come up with any options to change the CSC and just showed I was on XEF (France) CSC so what seemed to work for me is to factory reset 3.2 (or 4.04 if you have already installed update)and leave it at the language selection screen do not enter any set-up details then turn off and enter download mode and flash 4.04 firmware from Odin. Once that's finished complete initial set-up and get into the 4.04 OS and install CSC selector from the Play store and run it selecting XEU (UK) from the list and install the new CSC. This will automatically do another full reset on the device changing the CSC to the new region and will now updates OTA or through Kies no problem as your CSC matches the firmware (this is confirmed when you open Kies as it shows the CSC on the initial screen).
Whenever you change the CSC it always wipes the device a little annoying but only needs doing the once so not a big problem to get the device right.

Hi,
I have a P6800 with HK vendor code. When the ICS appeared I couldn't wait for the HK version, so I rooted the tablet and flashed first the P6800XXLQ1_CSC_ATO and later the P6800XXLQ2_CSC_ATO, both with Mobile Odin. I did it with the EverRoot option, so the device is still rooted. Since I live in Hungary and the ATO CSC is also for my country, it seemed to be the best choice. And really, the tablet works well, I am satisfied with it -- let alone some minor bugs.
But certainly I lost the possibility to get further updates by KIES. (In fact, since flashing the ICS ROM, KIES doesn't want to recognise the tablet at all.)
I may pass the tablet to someone inside my family and that's why now I'd like to restore the 'normal' state: gain back the KIES connection, the possibility to upgrade with KIES, etc.
The best would be to change the vendor code from TGY to ATO, so that the CSC and vendor code would match. Is it possible? If yes, how?
Thanks
goto playstore and search a software name galaxy s/s2 csc
i manage to change my csc using that software. but the device will factory reset after changing csc.

Yes, thanks, but I knew about that app, I downloaded it and run it, but in my case it wasn't useful. It detected my code as TGY but didn't offer another code to change to. (see attachment)
I guess this app worked for Honeycomb ROM but not anymore with ICS ROM.

Then flash back to HC ? Then look on Sammoble for ICS ROM for your area .
Yeah, I might do it... I just hoped to be able to avoid flashing and flashing again...
Maybe someone, who changed the CSC not before but AFTER flashing the stock ICS ROM, could help me by telling me where the vendor code stored in ICS ROMs.
It is different from the Honeycomb ROMs for sure, because the 'system/csc' folder does not exist anymore in ICS. Meanwhile the Galaxy S/S2 CSC app recognized somehow that my vendor code is TGY, so this information is stored somewhere, but I don't know where... If I knew it, I could try to modify it with Root Explorer, since the device is rooted.
To tell the truth, I'm afraid of flashing BACKWARD a 3.2 ROM and bricking the tablet...
i think that your rom isn't multi csc, only roms with multi csc gives you the ability to change it.
maybe honeycomb 3.2 for your region will fix your problem, do some research here on xda to how restock your tab before flashing, I think there is some problems to get back to hc, but everyone managed to surpass it.

I fleshed the P6800ZSLP7 ICS ROM (HK, the same as my sales code) with the hope that it's multi CSC, and yes, it is, but ATO is not among the possibilities...
So still no solution for me...
i would suggest to restock it to Honeycomb 3.2, maybe later this year an ATO update will be available directly from Kies.
you can find the stock rom on sammobile. com

Exactly that's what I'd like to avoid! Honeycomb ROM was so slow, lacking the smoothness the hardware is made for, that don't want to use it again. Now I'm with the HK ICS ROM (P6800ZSLP7) that is a little bit inferior than the 2nd ATO ROM, but still works without any serious bug and at least matches with the vendor code.
And I hope that some time a developer or expert will find out how to change the vendor code....
