I'm a noobie so be ez on me. I purchased a used 10.1 SGH-T859 and went to update to ICS and saw that I have a weird baseband and Build number: Baseband version: T859UVKJ2 Build number: HTJ85B.VKJ2_demo T859UVKJ2_demo The one it should have come with is T859UVKJ3. Kies won't upgrade me to ICS and I'm wanting to root it but not sure how to do it, because I can't find anybody with this version. Was this a show room tablet with a demo version installed? I really have tried to research this before coming here to bother people.

Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy Europa (GT-I5500) and I'm trying to update my phone to 2.2 (Froyo) through Kies and It says that this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current firmware version:
PDA:JJ6 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JJ2 (XEU)
On about phone:
2.1-update1
Baseband Version:
I5500XWJG3
Kernel Version:
2.6.29-perf
[email protected]#1
Build Number:
ERE27.XWJJ6
None of this flashing lark though as I haven't a clue how to do it and I would need very very specific step by step instructions etc and I really want the Legitimate 2.2 firmware.
Please help as I really want to update my phone to 2.2.
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Doesn't matter, my father used Odin to update my phone to 2.2.
No one is going to help you here, I was in a similar situation, you have to download the firmware 2.2(Froyo) that belongs to your Product code and flash it with Odin to get rid of that Kies error. Just look in the stickies.
Regards
odin is the best way just f**k of the kies it just gave me the same error but i used odin for updating
ya same here just let kies jump. use odin

flashing is simple, type into youtube 'i5500 2.2 tutorial' and have a look at that video, shows a step by step way to flash, and has all the files you need.
Hi all,
I have bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy S 2 in China.
The Android version installed is 2.3.3; I tried to do an update via Kies but I got the infamous message that "firmware update is not supported" for my device. I understand from other posts in the forum that maybe the firmware installed is not matching with the original region of the device, in this case I should install the right firmware in order to get the support from Kies, am I right?
But my question is...how do I know the original firmware/region for my model?
The data of the device are the following:
Model Number: GT-I9100
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 [email protected] #2 (does this mean the phone has been rooted?)
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
Sorry for the noob question, I tried to figure out from the sticky post and used search but I am still confused...(yes, I got intimidated by the welcoming video of the forum)
Thanks

Its not posible to know without evidence guess maybe.

NO its the signature
Build Number: QUENS.GINGERBREAD.XWKE7
That reads as a custom rom by Quens ???
Plus, when I connect to Kies the current firmware version detected is:
I9100XWKE7/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKE4/I9100XWKE7 (DBT)
If its a i9100 and no other version pick a stock rom from the stock roms posts .
With later firmware and to match region phone is used in .

ICS 4.03 is safe. Do not update it to 4.04 official rom. You can easily root your phone and install CWM recovery. Then flash a custom 4.0.4 ROM or whatever you like. For a start i suggest this rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824586
First of all, let me tell you about the phone:
Rooted: Yes

Model #: SCH-R760
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: S:R760.01 K.FI24

I am wanting to upgrade to JellyBean and install CyanogenMod. I am not sure how to or what versions of these two I need to download. Could someone explain and set me on a straight path? Thank you.

Honestly I don't want to upgrade to Jellybean if it's not necessary. I just need to know how to install CyanogenMod and which version I need for my phone. Cheers

First you need to flash a CM kernel(it will be given in the CyanogenMod Roms thread) then through CWM flash CM 10(for 4.1.2) or CM 10.1(for 4.2.2).
Edit :
DELETED links since I didn't notice your model number before , and I can't find any official cm versions for SCH-R760. Try searching harder for ported versions.

And don't bump posts after 8 hrs (after 24 hrs is acceptable). You make a thread or a post & wait patiently for an answer.
And you need to understand that because you have a relatively obscure phone few people who hang around I9100 Q&A have, it's only natural that you're going to wait a lot longer for that help for the most part unless it's something generic/that applies to most Samsung phones.
Hi, I got this new Galaxy Tab from Korea and I'm wondering how am I supposed to root it? I have no experience on rooting whatsoever, so I really need exact and guaranteed instructions. I tried rooting my tab twice, it ended in a Coma Brick twice and I had to send it to Samsung Help desk twice to repair it.
Here's my Specs:
Model Number: SHW-M180S
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: M180S.FE18.1503.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UF08
I need precise and accurate information. Thank you.
Not really sure if this is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 since its Gingerbread 2.3.6. Stock Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes with Honeycomb 3.1.

Well considering... according to Google that it's a Samsung Galaxy 7 SHW-M180S Korea
If your trying to root and flash a rom from here might explain why you had to send it back twice...
Head over to here and take a look!
