Hey guys.
I have a a P500 bought from a NZ retailer but parallel imported. I have discovered it has Singapore firmware. I have updated to 2.2.2 but want to downgrade to 2.2 (V10B) so I can root and uninstall bloatware. Using the links provided there is no download for V10B and only for V10A. Is there a huge difference? Can I use another country that will work the same?
It says it is on the vodafone network. If I used the telecom firmware, what would happen?
Thanks

Hi xda, i bought Samsung Galaxy S5670 Fit as my first android device and i m not very familiar to android handling. Well i m here to ask how can i upgrade my Device from froyo to gingerbread. My friend told me how to root using superoneclick rooting and i have successfully rooted the phone. Next step he told me was to install ROM manager and Flash ClockWorkMod recovery to backup my froyo apps and setting and everything. I tried to flash ClockWorkMod but it failed since i don't have any 3g/wifi connection to my device. Now i need help that how can i back up my Froyo ROM (incase i brick my phone during upgrade) and get firmware and all the necessary file for the upgrade. So far i know that gingerbread is available only in europe version (i m from asia) and only thing i need to do after upgrading to 2.3 is to change language. Can i get some guidance to backup my froyo rom for recovery and upgrade to gingerbread?
it(gb 2.3) is available trough kies
dont try to install clockworkmod recovery in G-FIT. its not available for this mobile.
U can download gingerbread rom from samfirmware.com and use odin to flash this firmware.
And u can also download froyo rom from the same site but u cant get asia rom as it is not available.
And important i am not sure it is possible to install froyo after installing gingerbread.
I am not telling its not possible, but i dont know.
And gingerbread have many bugs. Its not final release.
i have a S5670 too...is it safe n possible 2 upgrade it 2 gb 2.3 (i seriously dont wana brick it )...also is da upgrade worth it ,i heard der isnt much diff betwn froyo n gb except fr da keyboard
There is firmware S5670XXKPG with Android 2.3.4 at samfirmware.com... you can download and flash it with no problems...

yes u can upgrade to GB without any prob and yes there are no diff btwn froyo and gb visually. both r same. But performance wise gb is gud and many GB features are dissabled by samsung. and its testing version and the first version. its not final. So it is having many bugs.
download the GB rom from samfirmware and flash using odin. try it. if u want to get back to froyo, just download the 2.2.1 froyo version rom from same site and flash using odin.

im from philiphines..
Hope u can work also on DXKC1 froyo because here in my country DXKC1 was the latest update via KIES..
hihihi..hited thanks button already..kip helping^^
Nice Tut..
But i preferred KPN or KPH is Much better than Old Stock rom.. Lates Firmware are much smoother and Stable..
Besides even if you have v2.3.3+ Firmware like KPN from Kies you can still use your warranty because its an official stockROM.. Unless you rooted it or its a CostomROM with some tweaks..
NOYPI Here!
-----------------------------------------------------
When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.
-----------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the Tuts
Thanks OP, i was hoping to get my phone to the service center but the Downgrading part is pretty long from KPH to FroYo (First European froyo and then indian).
My trouble is shortened
will kies recognize it or keep saying update unavailable or cannot update this device
Anyone try this downgrade? So do this mean we can downgrade direct from GB europe to this asian version?
Finally!
I've tried to downgrade with KIES' fw but all of 'em don't work
This works.
Thnx)

After downgrading to froyo is it possible to upgrade to stock GB 2.3.3 through kies.

I would like to upgrade my SGS2 from the UAE CSC to the official Indian ICS version. Please help !!! I have already downloaded the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8.tar.md5 ICS for India. Do I do this directly with ODIN3 even though I have a different CSC ????????????????
Also the most important thing to ask is :--
"Should I flash the Stock Kernel XXLPQ thru Odin3 BEFORE I UPGRADE to the official XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 ????????"
Somebody please guide me thru this with the necessary steps or Links !!!!!
THANX IN ADVANCE !!!

Hey NDNESH !!! ODDLP7/DDLP8 !!!!!!!!! Has anyone tried it? There seems to be no queries on this so I assume that no one has tried it or there are no problems with it !!!
I really want to go for ICS.
1). Have I to ROOT it after this ?
2). My Kernel version is [email protected] #2. Is this compatible with the XXLPQ/ODDLP7/DDLP8 that I am going for ??????
Please help as I am COMPLETELY NEW at this.
Hi,
Is there any way to upgrade the UAE firmware with official ICS India firmware through kies? I really want to know this as don't want to root or use ODIN for my phone.
NO
odin doesnt require root and its as official as KIES yet better than Kies...
Do you mean to say that after upgrading with ODIN I can still get firmware updates through KIES?
My MT11i was shipped with android 2.3.4
