A few months ago I installed the official ICS firmware from Kazachstan on my Galaxy Tab 7.7 from The Netherlands using Odin. I did that because the Dutch ICS version was not released.
Since a few days the Dutch version is available through KIES. There is no reason for me to get it since it is exactly the same as the version that I have.
However, in order to install future firmware updates from KIES (possibly JB) I need to make sure that KIES recognizes that I have a Dutch CSC number. What need I do?
Can I just use Odin to install the official NL ICS firmware and will this include the NL ICS number so that KIES will recognize it as an official Dutch tablet again? Or need I first downgrade to Honeycomb with Odin and then update to ICS using KIES to restore the official NL CSC number again?

There was many problems with 2.1 version of android on our phones i think. Anyway search on google for a website called sammobile. Then you sign up to that and find the firmware for your phone which is i5800. Then make sure you use a Romanian firmware, which i think should be the European firmware.

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.

I bought the SGS2 rooted from Hungary and when I connected it to KIES it still recognised the software as official and when I went to my home country Malta it managed to upgrade to ICS. Since that time I flashed other roms and never went back to samsung official roms (unless they are not modified).
The other thing you should think of is you can always revert back to the official GB if something goes wrong. Just be sure that you can download the official firmware for your country so that you will have it when you need it back.
Good luck with your flashing If you need something do not hesitate to ask, I will do my best to help
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#

The *#1234# does not work; gives "connection problem of invalid MMI code" (the phone app works fine otherwise)
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.

Hi there:
For people intending to upgrade their GTN8000 bought from a region other than Germany to the officially released 4.1.1 JB, From what I have read i just concluded the following :
1- the only way to do the upgrade is via Odin
2- after performing the upgrade you won't be able to receive any new updates OTA or via Kies.. The only way for any future update will be only via Odin.
3-after getting the upgrade you won't be able to sign with your Samsung account because it's linked to your region
My questions areb
1- is that true?
2- and if all that happened, do we have any smart ways to overcome other than to wait for our region release?
Appreciate your replies mates
Me and hundreds of more people are awaiting for some clear advices.
You won't get ota, butt when the jb update comes out for your region just flash it with odin and you'll have ota again.

You can always update with odin and reset your csc to Germany by opening phone app and typing *#272*imei# resetting csc should make your Note believe it is from Germany and should allow updating via kies. WORD OF WARNING resetting your csc will wipe apps and data.
