n00b questions

Hi all,
I'm new to the Android world.
This morning I received my i9000 device and already in love with it!
I'm on firmware: I9000XXJF3
On the Samsung Firmwares site I saw a lot of different firmwares.
What firmware would be best for my i9000 (8gb EU model on T-Mobile Netherlands)?
If there is a better firmware, why should I upgrade? Or is better to wait for Froyo?
To change firmware do I need to root the device?
I also read stuff about recovery kernel, do I need to do that first?
Also do I need Odin or do I need another app for firmware upgrading?
What lag fix app do I need?
A lot of n00b question... But I hope someone can help me out.
Tnx!

Hey,
JF3 is the latest official Firmware for your device.
All other firmwares which you saw on the website are leaked firmwares, means they are not officialy released by samsung.
There are already leaked froyo firmwares, but jit is broken and they are more or less in alpha stage, so i wouldn't update to froyo atm. If you want froyo, you should wait for the official release in september.
I recommand JM2, its the most responsive and smooth firmware, in my opinion. JM5 is also very good. but keep in mind, they're both leaked.
To flash a new firmware you need odin, there is a tutorial, just check the stickies in this section.
You dont have to root your device to flash, but if you still want to, there is also a tutorial.

no its not, JF stands for 2010 June
M is not a official code for a month.
JF = Year (J) / Month (F) , Release-Date of Firmware
Year of Release:
A = 2001
B = 2002
C = 2003
D = 2004
E = 2005
F = 2006
G = 2007
H = 2008
I = 2009
J = 2010
Month of Release:
A = January
B = February
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
I = September
J = October
K = November
L = December
So if you have M-Z as month code, its not a official release ^^
Hopefully i am right, if not correct me plz xD

The best firmware right now (but this is subjective) is JM5 if you ask me. It is not official.
You can wait for froyo but JM5 is a massive improvement to JF3 already.
You don't need to root to install firmware.
You don't need custom recovery kernel either .
Firmware upgrading is done in odin.
With JM2 or JM5 you don't really need a lagfix because the phone will be fast enough without. Otherwise both RyanZA and Chainfire's fixes are simple and effective.

Just read the FAQ PLEASE!

Thanks guys for all the answers!
It's a lot more clear to me now!!
Really appreciated. Going to flash JM2 or JM5 this weekend.
Btw does JM2 or JM5 contain the Dutch language? Also Swype in Dutch?
Cheers

before you flash anything make sure your 3 button combo is working properly

Thanks!
Just tried the 3 buttons and I got in recovery mode (when pressing volume up) and got in download mode (when pressing volume down).
I can see 4 options: reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
Also I see the Android with a yellow triangle.
What does the wipe cache partition do? Of course it wipes cache. ;-)
But what is the use of it?
Do I need to flash all 3 TAR files? (CODE, CSC, MODEM)
Code is probably the OS itself, Modem is radio rom but what is CSC?

Anyone?

Lezen?
wiping the cache partition can fix problems with some programs...

[Q] sim card not recognized after update

Hi,
I flashed the latest (official) firmware for the GT-N7100 from sammobile and now the device doesn't recognise the sim card, so the phone has no network provider...
Does anyone have any idea what can I do to resolve it ?

CSC "Problem" after Nougat update (A5 2017)

hi guys, i first installed the russian Nougat update because in germany (DBT) it wasnt out like 2 weeks ago.
So now it's out and i flashed the original german one over it with wiping everything. So far so good. The problem that i have now is that my orginal CSC "DBT" isn't activated.... it automatically installed the "BTU" CSC (UK)
My question now: How can i change back to DBT? I flashed the german CSC again but i doesn't seem to work that way :/ I added some screenshots from Samsung Phone Info App. The Original CSC-Code line is also blank whyever....
thx in advance!

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43553707&postcount=14 if it doesn't work i have another method

the same thing with my phone (i have flashed an XEF )
but this csc is not important at all .....
-You have german language
-the playstore have the same apps
- you have the same samsung fonctions apps and parameters .
-the modem have the same European bands
.....

Yeah i flashed the Portuguese rom and somehow got the sloveanian csc. I tried using the method above for changing but it didnt work. It doesnt matter, its the same stuff anyway.

The other method is to flash a single CSC rom and after flash DBT CSC

Sorry for interuption, but i just want to confirm - you had French firmware and then you flashed Russian and then again went back to French and your original csc has changed during this but your warranty isnt void? Thank you very much.

Change CSC or Downgrade - Galaxy Watch Active 1

Hi guys, I'm from Brazil and English is not my first language, sorry for the errors.
I have a Galaxy Watch 1 SM-R500 (Tizen 4.0.0.7) and Yesterday I changed the CSC from ZTO to XAR to update the firmware. But now I can't go back to ZTO, I searched a lot here and found nothing about Active 1, only Active 2.
My wireless connection doesn't work well on the watch, sometimes it doesn't find wireless networks
Can anyone help me downgrade ? or change the CSC ?

através do procedimento também consegui mudar a região, porem só quando fiz o downgrade pois na ultima versão também não funcionava o procedimento.

Through the procedure it was also possible to change the region, for example, when the downgrade is done in the latest version it also doesn't work or procedure.
