I have SGH i997. Not sure if its S2 or not. I need to update firmware as some of the applications are causing problems. I even don't know if it already has AT&T firmware or android. Incase its anAT&T firmware, can I upgrade to latest android firmware? How?

I know you need some help but a mod should close one of the two posts that you have. Please install the drivers from Kies and try several computers or ports if necessary. The procedures that the folks here told you (and in your other thread) work. Do some research too, that is how you learn.

I did it using Kies for my device from samsung webpage. I installed the wrong version of kies before. Well, problems, after installing new firmware, are still unsolved. Skype won't start and viber won't run perfect as well. Is there any way to download older versions of apps?

Dear Friends,
I happened to have a perfectly working rooted SGS running JPK on Froyo until a while ago. When I tried installing fonts with typefresh. This is where everything went haywire. The phone now doesn't want to boot. It says SGS I9000 and vibrates there 4 times and repeats the vibrating cycle. I want the phone to be working again else my mother will murder me. I tried going to the recovery mode and tried to do a factory restore but that didn't help. Tried to reflash the custom ROM I downloaded from this site (can't find that link) using ODIN but it doesn't work either. While reflashing I did not check the repartition tab. What are the possible solutions here?? KIES doesn't detect phone in download mode. Is there any link from where I can download the factory shipped froyo rom and try reflashing the same via ODIN.
Guys please help it has now turned into a Black Screen Of Death. Though I can still go back to Download mode....please help guys this is getting from bad to worse....
Update: The phone now only goes to download mode...
BUMP! Please guys a few hours before mom comes home from work...
Try flashing a 2.1 firmware with Odin.
Google samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I5700 using XDA App
You could also try flashing
Froyo that does not brick
and then flash to JI6
EDIT:
Do you have the drivers set up for your device?
Also, What device are you using? The SGS line has many phones. My advice above was dependent on it being a Vibrant
Yes I do have the drivers for my device. I'll be trying 2.1 in a while. What are the chances of Samsung giving me a replacement for the device??
I live in India. We don't get the Vibrant here. It's just plain old Samsung Galaxy S GTi9000

If you can reach download mode, find you favorite firmware in one of the guides on XDA, and using Odin flash it.
If you know what firmware you were on, you can also just reflash the PDA file of that firmware. The PDA file is Packages inside the rar file you download from samfirmware.com
Best thing is to find a guide, and follow it.
I'd JPK before things went haywire. I'm wondering what's the difference between JPK and JPM. Which one should I go for??
I'm planning to flash to JM8 then doing either JPK/JPM. Is this fine?? Or should I directly flash with JPK/M and forget about JM8? Which one is better K or M? Anything else I need to be aware of before I take the plunge??

Hey pal.
It really doesn't matter which firmware you flash. Over the time, I realized that what works for one does not necessarily work for the other. It really is a very subjective thing.
Between JPK and JPM, the later (JPM) is the latest release. If froyo excites you, go for either JPM or even JP6 (JP6 being a day newer than JPM and recommended i suppose). If eclair suits your use, I would suggest JM9
Links:
Eclair - JM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802909
Froyo - JP6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807351
It really is not difficult flashing firmwares on the i9000. Just follow the instructions from the thread to the dot and you are all set to go. In the same breath, I would also go as far to suggest that you stay away from custom ROM's till you get familiar with the process of flashing ROM's and troubleshooting (in case anything goes wrong). Stick to the stock ROM's and you should be good to begin with.
Do update on your progress.
Cheers.....
Fixed it. Flashed JPK everything working now! Thanks for all the tips and inputs!
Hello all, I'm new to this forum, and new to Android. However I recently purchased the just released Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
I want to root the device, but so far am a bit leary to try anything since nothing specifically states the Player device.
In any case, info is here:
Model: YP-G70
Firmware Version: 2.3.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-G70UEKI8-CL566269 / [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UEKI8
Thanks.
I still have yet to see anyone report a successful root with the 2.3.5 firmware, unfortunately(I'm also looking/trying to pull it off, but no luck so far).
Thanks for the reply. Guess it's just wait and see then, eh?
I guess so.
I know it wouldn't take long for a dev to figure out how to root it, but they need to find out about this device first! No one seems to know it exists.
It's a shame, because it's a really nice machine. Samsung should put more resources on advertising about this product, it's way superior to an iPod Touch in many ways.

And we just got root!! There is another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141893&page=4 that will explain how.
I also have noticed a minimum of bloatware - IMHO this is far superior to an Ifruit.
Is there anyway to make a backup of your firmware? I tried to flash mine, but it bricked and now i need the original one but there isn't one for download

You should be able to use the Kies 2.0 software to reload the firmware. Not sure but I think this would work.
I have the same device as you and I rooted. it with superoneclick 2.2. Hope that helps!
Got Bricked
Need help! My Samsung Galaxy Player YP-G70, the Korean version hs only download mode on the screen everytime I plug it into the computer. I tried to update it to a gingerbread from a froyo using odin, but it got screwed up. Please help. Any tech god out there that could help me.
korean Samsung Galaxy
Hey everyone, I also have a Korean Samsung Galaxy YP-GB70 and I tried superoneclick (2.3.3) and easyroot. With superoneclick it starts off well enough but the program freezes at step 7 and is unresponsive, then I see 2 adb running in the task manager altough i dont know if this is normal. With easyroot, it runs and there are some lines that say something about not being able to copy superuser.apk and something about read only files, it reboots the galaxy player but when it restarts it's not rooted, all the drivers are installed (did it with kies) so I don't know what the problem is...help and thanks in advance
Hi there,
Long time lurker, first time poster and overall Newb.
I was wondering if anyone could please provide concise instructions on How to restore my phone to stock Galaxy 3 2.2 Firmware.
I have it Rooted (via super one click), OC3 Mod 2.6.32.9 and Kyorarom Infinity (v0.4.1 JPU) currently and am having major issues with stability.
Yet How can I restore it to Factory so that Kies recognises it?
Ive tried the hard reset with the button pressing but it just loops back to oc3 mod. Do i need to "unflash" it somehow or reflash it to a base package?
Please Help.
Regards
Take a look at the stock ROMs here & download suitable one for your region.
BTW, you should have posted in the Q&A subforum.
Yep cheers, ill give that a crack, and copy that on posting elsewhere. tyvm
Hi guys. The link provided above seems to be broken, well the links embedded in them are broken. Can anyone advise me, which stock firmware i need for a Samsung Galaxy 3 bought in New Zealand, and provide an active link?
Thanks a bunch
look over here
Is there a way to tell, which firmware i need as stock from the above link, by looking at my phone physically? Or checking somewhere in settings? Im guessing its region should be North America...
physically theres no chance given
just use the settings -> scroll down -> telephone info
you see the versions here

flashing any of these will allow you to connect to KIES, that will tell you if you need another version

KIES:
in my former days I had the thought that KIES is really necessary and tried a lot of eclair FW versions from the link above (samfirmware), but none of them established a succesful connection with KIES.
Therefore I upgraded manually with ODIN and uninstalled KIES.
I dont miss a thing until now.
Good luck in finding a fw which connects with KIES.
I read anywhere that XXJG1 or XXJG7 is one the rare fw which could establish a KIES connection. Maybe I am wrong...
A feedback from anyone which of the fw versions can connect to KIES would be very helpfulin this topic.
Cheers

I Have a problem, if anyone can help It's massively appreciated!
I rooted my phone & installed Resurrection ROM 9.6 (Rom taken from XDA thread). But in Sir Lanka i had a issue with connecting to Mobile internet & I'm a heavy user of phone so i had to go for a stable rom! So i decided to go with Stock rom & unroot the device. After unrooting when i connect to Kies it says "your device does not support sotware upgrading via kies".
Before all of this kies worked fine by the way!
My model no: i9100xwki8 (bought it when i was out of country)
Kies now shows, under current firmware version): I9100XWKI8/I9100KEKI2/I9100XXKI4/I9100XWKI8 (SEK)
Have i done something wrong?
Can this be fixed?
How can i fix this?
What should i do to stick with stock rom upgrade via kies?
I only did rooting from Odin & CWM; unrooting done from source i got in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I can't post on above mentioned thread because i still didn't reach 10 post threshold!
Someone please please help!
I'd try reinstalling the drivers and reinstalling kies and see if that works...personally I think kies is useless, what specifically do you need kies for?

OK. Basically you'll have to root it, flash a custom recovery like CWM and go to CM's site and pull a pre-built ROM for your device and install it via recovery. But it's likely to be a tedious process with many many details left for you to figure out yourself.
You'll most likely need Odin/Heimdall to deal with Samsung Galaxy devices. Since you are using S3, a very popular model, hopefully there are already pre-rooted images for your specific model on the Internet. Just grab one (be careful with its version!) and flash it with Odin/Heimdall. Usually flashing PDA(Odin 3.07)/AP(Odin 3.09) alone is enough. There are many tutorials on how to accomplish that with either program in the forums.
Be sure to wipe the data partition before installing CM or it may get stuck in the boot loop.
