I have upgraded my galaxy gt i9003 From FROYO to gingerbread, But while upgrading i chose wrong country firmware( i9003JPKP5) instead of I9003ODDLF2_INU. After upgrade incoming calls were blocked,I wasnt getting calls, When any user calls he was getting busy tone.
Later I tried upgrading to ODDLF2 my native country firmware and my phone started to restart every time (Boot Loop)(soft brick i think) .After trying multiple times I wasnt successful. Finally i decided to give my phone to SAMSUNG service center and after couple of days they also said my phone cant be repaired bcoz of overseas version, it needs mother board replacement. Pls help me i m clueless what to do next , Is my phone Ir-repairable ?

My brother is using this mobile from the last 2 years. Now he's facing some issues with the stock os in his mobile, he asked me to update. I never had any samsung mobile, so I dont have any idea how to unlock the bootloader, how to install cwm recovery etc. If the latest 2.3.5 stock rom is good, then I will flash that. The device's firmware version is showing as DDKA5 and ddkb2. In the OP it says XKPQ was the good one to flash, is it possible to flash on my device. Thank u!

I'm in Dubai, no update here either...
This is why I MANUALLY installed the rom here in XDA Developers & installed ICS myself. If you wait for Samsung you'll wait forever.
Best to download it yourself & install.

i am in Algeria and i have a Hong Kong galaxy tab 7.7, av got the update on Kies but i won't use it, ics still has some issues, am waiting for a stable version enchalah.
if you want it so bad, look into the development section, you will find how to update your tab to the latest version of ics, which is the Indian.

So its better to flash my tab better than waiting ? and i use the Indian firmware ?
will i be able to still use my Tablet as a phone like put my simcard in it and everything ?
yes you can use it just like you did when you were on honeycomb, but!
1 there is issues on ics, read about it before flashing! if you don't mind... well, next >
2 there is a big problem with ics which is the brick after a wipe! read about it, if you're ok >
3 the modem included in the Indian firmware may work or not work correctly in your hometown

Yes, better to flash your tab rather than wait months for Samsung to release the update for your country...
If using the Indian Firmware gives you Arabic language then go ahead & use it...
You can use your tab just like a phone by inserting your sim into it...
what so called hard brich is also within HC too! the fix for this is available in the forum just search for it > upgrade to ICS the austrian latest rom is working in good order except for wifi.. get wifi extender and connect through it .it's the best solution i've used so far .. actually the official roms are less bugs than the modified ones .
now u said the word " Brick "
im afraid of doing it because i jsut go the device i dont want to brick it X_X!!
i hate HC its slow and laggy X_X
i'll guess i'll just wait for the official release :<
Malaysia
India
Thailand
Philippines
ICS are all out for them
Damn Samsung is SLOW on update s
Iam flashing my device and every thing is ok you can flash it by odin and then flash cwm to wipe data without the bug if you need to wipe
And i think there is no need to wipe your device

Hi Guys,
I am updating my SGR for the first time, I had some queries, so if some one would answer, I would be really thankful.
Official ICS update is not for my country, so how should I take backup so that I don't lose my warranty.
Also which version of ICS is better, Nordic one or Austria or anyother country?
Also can you please help me with how to update like which software to use to install ICS, like someone was saying odin and others?
Thanks, Your help will be greatly appreciated

Buddy, A Very Warm Welcome to our Forum. For your queries Here is the answers:
1) Official ICS update is not for my country, so how should I take backup so that I don't lose my warranty.
A: ICS is announced to world by Samsung, so flash this wont loose any warranty but yes, rooting may be.
So, If you would flash Official ICS from Sammobile then no need to worry
2) Also can you please help me with how to update like which software to use to install ICS, like someone was saying odin and others?
A: you can install it using ODIN 3.07V - here is the procedure: Click Here for everything you need
3) Also which version of ICS is better, Nordic one or Austria or anyother country?
Approx, all versions are same except bloatwares providing by them. Few might be extra features then flash the latest one.
In the last, We have Q/A thread it doesn't mean every 2nd thread would be asking HOW to or From Where I can flash ICS.
Use Search option in thread. Coz every question you have asked, already been resolved earlier. There need to search only. Lil bit time taken, but good for our forum.

Better Take CWM backup before updating to ICS, So if you have problem then you can revert back to GB easily.....

Yes...
mj is right...
there are cases when you downgrade..you tend to stuck on boot loop or on Samsung screen..
so the best way to downgrade is simply restore your cwm backup and then reflash the stock firmware..
Thanks MJ and Vipul

This is 2.3.6 but no, I'm not sure how the installation is done, sorry.
However, if you'd like.. try DDLF2. Follow the exact instructions. I hope you know how to flash stock firmwares using Odin? If not, PM me. And then root it.
Once you're done rooting the firmware, flash this via Clockwork Mod recovery. If you don't know how, again, PM me.
Then, flash this. It's got Arabic support and plus other cool mods like swipe to clear notifications and more.
