why don't you update via kies? it updated my 2.2.1 to 2.3.5 without any complains and it was really fast and easy.
And uninstalling/installing a program will not make samsung mad that they brick your phone for it, so no worries mate.

Installing lagfix?

Hello, i have one piece I9000 running on 2.1 and flashed it with ODIN to 2.1 JPJG8. I now want to install lagfix on it. Can someone instruct me how to do it?
what type of lagfix do u want ? there is a simple one called 'one click lag fix' (OCLF) available in market. or there is voodoo or speedmod.. have a look in the android development section you will see them all in there

Which one to you recommend, im running on 2.1 version JPJG8? ALso, give me link...thank you.
Well checked the site you recommended and found OCLF ok...I wish to install Stock ROM using ODIN. After that can i just root the phone and then install lagfix?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 - this is speedmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823300 - this is voodoo
i use speedmod but i am not saying that is the best one, i have also used voodoo, they are similar but it all boils down to personal choice there is no best / worst
also read through the whole thread before going ahead with it, make sure its compatible with your device and make sure you know how to recover if something goes wrong.
Ok, thanks for the info bro...i'll check out your link

Well, i flashed my phone with this version to I9000JPJG8 using ODIN. It is just PDA file and i think i ticked re-partition. Phone version was:
PDA: I9000 XWJM2
PHONE: I9000 XXJM1
CSC: I9000 OXXJM2
Now i see a blue circle instead of my network logo. Can you help me?

Lol, even I've forgotten mine because I bought it from Orange....I think all the 2.2.1 works...mine is I9000XXJPU(I've tried to flash I9000XXJPY, but failed )anyway, no need to recall back your original firmware, just take any 2.2.1 firmwares and flash it...but be careful, because there are possibilities to brick your SGS even though the risk is small....
Can you recommend any 2.2 european firmware i can flash with? I dont want 2.2.1 since i think its risky.

Can i downgrade to I9000XXJM2 2.1 from I9000JPJG8 2.1?

Why can't
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Stock_ROMs
Let's start from beginning:
I have Android 2.3.3 rooted and installed CWM, i need to know how to uninstall CWM in case of some repair, because warranty is lost then...
I searched and people told me I have to flash stock again, and that's why I am searching my original stock ROM

To unroot, flash the UnRoot-i9001-signed.zip
To go back stock recovery, flash the 9001_stock_recovery-signed.zip
Don't want to do all this, simply download a stock ROM that suit your region and flash with Odin 4.43 or upgrade your firmware by Samsung Kies.
All of the information you can get it from the Wiki page
Search from there I think all the information that provided in the wiki page is more than enough and easy to understand.
Ok, thanks, now I know
I am living in f***ing Serbia separated from the rest of IT world where everything comes last or doesn't come at all.
I don't have official Gingerbread above 2.3.3 so my only option is to backup my current ROM which is stock and to restore it one day if needed...

Jel imate vi Pay Pal?
I said I need my stock ROM if anyone knows where to find it...
I gave PDA and CSC
But it doesn't matter, I will backup the current which is stock and save it if it's needed in future
Have you search in SamMobile Firmware?I found one,it have same PDA as you and the build date is September 2011,for more information you can check in SamFirm page.BTW,here the download link : http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156719871/41e0c70/I9001XXKI2_I9001SEBKH1_SEB.zip.html
I found it, but the CSC is not the same. Btw is CSC important to be the same?
I don't know,i still new to android & samsung rom.I think PDA is more important:silly:btw,only this rom has have same PDA as your.
CSC is the Country/Carrier Specific Code (not sure exactly which it is, both kinda make sense). It contains the files for customisation for specific networks, so will have the APN settings, maybe custom ringtones or backgrounds, and can have programs too. Some CSC files contain a lot more than others, hence the file size differences.
Mixing different PDA/PHONE/CSC files is certainly possible, although it might be best not to stray too far on the PDA and PHONE side. The CSC isn't really very important in most cases - at worst you'll probably just have to set up the APN manually

Where did you buy it? Is it really a N7000? Asking this because of your question in Note2 forum.
Is your 2.3.6 rooted? Then no update is possible without installing a Stock Rom first.

First: make sure you have a N7000. Start with checking the infos about your device in the settings and put a snapshot here.
After this you could try to install a stock Rom with PC Odin. Then you (and we) are sure your device is in a reliable condition. Rooting would be the next step.
But I have to admit that it's a little bit strange when someone buys something and isn't sure what it really is.

Official way? To flash the wrong firmware for your device? Flash, factory reset, use it...
for me is to get a phone like the original condition the LGFlashTool!!! Clean and safe like a BrandNew mobile.

Need help with removing custom rom

Hey guys,
I have an xperia Z
Model number: c6603
Android version: 4.3
Build number:10.4.1.B.0.109
I let my friend install a custom rom on phone and I do not want it anymore and want my stock firmware back so i can install official updates. I have little to no knowledge on android rooting and flashing roms, i tried searching on the forums but i just couldn't find the answer so i had to make this thread.
I do not have much idea about the rom installed too apart from that its called eXistenZ rom and the OTA updater app says
ROM version 7.0.0
OTA Updater ID: xzexistenzultra
that's pretty much all the info i can think of that i can tell you. If anything else is required let me know, i'll find it and let you know. Please guys, any help will be appreciated.

Also existenz roms do a lot of stuff while maintaining the Sony aspect. Yet it can be quite unstable. I had my fair share of issues.
So restore your phone, Root it, DO NOT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER (unless you make a backup first), install Xposed framework + desired modules and you'll have most of the tweaks found in curent flagships .
