Hello i'm a new member(not a noob ) i want to know what is the best firmware for a samsung Wave GT-S8500 for the europe (i'm french) just help me for this thank you for your help

i would say sycos is the best...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068735

Thanks
Thank you but i'm not good at english (i've got 13) so you can tell me what is the difference with a normal firmware?
Thank you very much

All bada 1.2 firmwares are excellent.
The best will be the one you like most based on personal interests/tastes.
They are all stable and function well.
Bada 2.0 is still on beta, so comment will be premature.
You just try all the firmwares available (bada 1.2 or even bada 2.0). At the end make your personal choice. No harm in trying them out yourself.
Best of luck.

Rethanks
Thank you and how your backup your files(sms calls ect...)

you backup via Kies...
i use the mass storage mode and backup images videos and music from SD and internal...for contacts and all other stuff i use Kies...

Thank you for your help
Goodbye.

If you ever had used the forum search, you would have found both answers to your questions.
... and your second question sucks, anyway.

if dont know so dont talk , anyway
Well for your first question I dont know the answer but for your second i know.
There may be a way u can make it spoofable by hackin some files but the better way is to download firmware that was released before November or any firmware that is pre hacked by some hackers to run spoof applications. well i personally dont suggest you to spoof games or any other application because i also dont do the same. The developers need some support.

thanks i think both answers is negative but nothing is impossible
in our region there is just one firmware of bada 1.2 and its release after november so if we want to use bada 1.2 there is no way to use spoofed apps ( there is no older version of bada 1.2)
for yor advice tnx i know they need support but samsung apps dont let us to buy apps because the seller part dont start in our region so we have no way except spoof
Actually I never knew that you cant buy apps. so listen xxJID, xxJJA, xxJK1 firmwares were launched before November and are also bada 1.2

[Q] Problem on installing apps to an unpublished Bada phone (GT-S7250)

Hello guys, I'm a greenhand on XDA, English and Mobile-dev, so please forgive any of my stupid words if I do have said in the bellowing description.
Yesterday, I joined the Samsung Bada Developers' Day, and got an unpublished Bada phone, it's GT-S7250 (Wave M). The problem is , I found I don't know how to install apps on it .
At first, I tried the built-in app market client, but strangely, I can only found some test apps on it, I guess that 's because the app market server still can't recognize this phone type yet.
Then, I use Samsung Kies on my PC, wish I could send apps to my phone after downloading them with Kies, but unfortunately, still doesn't work, cause it always prompts that the device is not supported.
So, could anyone provides my any idea to bypass all these limitations ? Thanks.
PS: I have do some monitoring work on Kies, and seems that there no validation requests to the server, and thus I think there might be a configuration file on the local disk, containing the supported devices's info, and if we can find and hack it, perhaps we could bypass the limitation.
what display resolution does your device have?
maybe you could ask larioteo for a copy of his app, he has found a method to install one app without kies, but he's only developing in 800*480 resolution
Can you show us the FW code read by kies???
i want to see if i can get the FW you have right now
About hacking kies...i think your phone is HVGA device so you can't install apps that are in kies right now
Wait until larioteo is back from his work to see what we can do about it
maybe we take you as a tester because you know chinese and we don't have chinese localization
Best Regards

Thanks for your reply, as @mylove90 said, the screen is HVGA, 480x320.
I will dig into larioteo 's posts while waiting for his reply.
Acutally, I have found the downloaded app files on my PC, the path is
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Samsung\Kies\Download\Applications, under this folder, I have found the *.app files, together with the corresponding *.app.img file each. I guess these are the app files I need, but to my disappoint ,when I copy these files onto my phone, I can't install them, it prompts unknown file type.

Hi, mylove90, thanks for your reply.
To be honest , I don't quite understand what do you mean by "FW code", this is the first time I met this abbreviation, I guess you mean the "FirmWare code", right ? If so , Kies shows the firmware version is : S7250XXKI8/S7250XAKI8(XXX) , Hope this is what we need to find.
As to become a tester, I have to say that I'm REALLY REALLY glad to do that, it's an great honor for me that I can do something for possibly all Bada users as my feedback to the community.
And I also had a look at larioteo's post about the voluntas browser, hope I can do somthing for it.
Thank you again,
Best Regards.
S7250XXKI8/S7250XAKI8(XXX)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you for info.
Firmware seems from September... XXX seems Product Code...
About install Apps... as handset is "new" (different Resolution)...
But you could play with bada 2.0 SDK to install few examples...
Maybe be carefully, as it is an prototype and as I know no Firmware is leaked, to fix problems...
Best Regards
I found something, if i wanted to search "S7250XXKI8". There is http://www.badaforums.net/forums/bada2/bada-dev-day-2011-t4913.html discussion on badaforums about Wave M.
Oh Samsung is so evil
XXX is invalid product code for kies updates
you get XXX product code is you damaged your original one
they know that we already got kies firmwares for sure
Best Regards
Hello there i am see left
XXX is not invalid it is the "Default Code", the main product code for all devices, only test devices gets this code, it is the ultimative update everything code.
As i know it from slyfer my tool to watch their server XXX was always the first code that got an open europe firmware, than the others get an upadte like DBT, OXA OXB OXC OXD OXE OXG after that the providers pick another of that and make something liket his VIA DRE and so on.
For more infos you need only to ask.
Picture in 5 minuetes: (also with other codes that you believe me )
note: yes the server changed but not the codes
larioteo know the best, but probably you can't install any apps that already launched. I mean, you can't install the apps that downloaded with Kies. but you can install an app that under development via Bada SDK 2.0 or larioteo's method. I hope I didn't make things worse for you.
Root Cert method via BADA SDK
If you just want to install your own apps on your wave M, ask Laoriteo about the root cert method via BADA SDK.
Really appreciate all you guys very very much, thank you for you kindly replies to my first thread on XDA.
According to your opinions, seems that there isn't much I can do with this problem. Perhaps I can only wait for the publication of this phone type, maybe till that time I will be able to use the built-in Samsung app market client. Or perhaps some hackers may jailbreak Bada, so that we can directly install any apps.
Then, I will be aiming at Bada app development, because I really feel the lack of apps on Bada, especially under the condition that I can't install any apps on this phone now.
Thank you,everyone!

Maybe Apps...

[Q] Bada 2.0 help

Hi I am VERY new to all of this and would like to know how to do a few things. First of all the Android guide on the S8500 did not work for me but I will leave that for another time. I have a Samsung Wave S8500
<SW VER>
S8500JHJH3
<CSC VER>
S8500PTRJH3
I got my phone in Israel from the phone company Orange, and according to samfirmware this is not an Israeli version. Some research got me to think its because my phone came unlocked (its a newish law in Israel). My Bada version is 1.0.2 which is pretty ****ty for the phone specs and all. I was wondering a few things.
1) If I flash this and update to 2.0 and don't like it or need to get my phone fixed or something could I/how could return it to factory settings?
2) Kies does not want to update lmao so how can I make it update?
3) Whats better in bada 2.0?
4)Later I will want to know how to port to Android but as I said I will leave that for a different time.
Thank you nobody for replying?! What great forums...

Hi,
1) yes you can go back to Bada 1.2 or other samsung firmware but not your operator firmware.
2) you can update by multiloader and install firmware samsung available on www.sammobile.com
3) A lot of things are better but for now it's only beta version for S8500, waiting for final release... so you could have some bugs.
4) I'm not sure about the interest of doing that... It's only for having market, for the rest you can not even phone... with your phone.
Wish it helped.
Thank you very much. That was very insightful and helpful.
How can i port back to bada 1.2?
I get this error in multiloader: ERR : Dbl Erase
What does it mean? and what can i do now??

But it works OK, and you can install LOW rsrc2 so you don't need to change the debuglevel. It seems to be faster, there are preinstalled widgets and they works. Twitter and Facebook in Social hub works but the apps are missing. Pretty much everythig works.
Alright I installed it and have to say I like it, no crashes yet and overall it`s faster than KH3. If you move the camera it seems to be faster too. Widgets are also working. There are 4 widgets in total: Calendar, Analog clock, Date and time widget and weather widget)
How come, samfirmware were allowed to release another Beta-ROM? I thought they were scared to do that since Samsung put pressure on them. Or is it a final ROM? Why would Vodafone even bother bringing out some Beta-ROM?
Code:
Type : Unofficial Version
Number : 262
Builder : Dell02
Host : SCMDELL16
Date : [B]2011/09/16[/B]
Time : 19:35:07
Size : 42468732 bytes
CheckSum : 0xef3c5853
This Version is around 1 month old...
Maybe Samsung internal Versions much closer to Final...
S8600 stuff are from October...

Can you tell me how to find the date of S8600 FWs???

They just said they are watched by Sammy and that they'll step back, nothing about beeing actually under pressure.
Either way: the new ROM is blaaazzzzing fast.
Restore functionality from KIES now works for me for everything except apps. (though several restores in a row may crash the phone).

Please Help Firmware

Good afternoon! I have a problem with my phone. I'm from Argentina and I am new to this. the problem I have is I can not move from Bada bada 2.0 to 1.2. The problem is that I have no signal bada 2.0. but when wanting to pass me da bada 1.2 ERROR ERASE: in BOOTLOADER, APPS - Rsrc1 and CSC. attempt to install over 10 firmware and could not always gives me this error. please if anyone knows help me thank you with all my heart! thank you! Greetings from Argentina!
Hello,
First of all check that if your phone is locked to your network Because if your phone is locked to your operator than you will not be able to use open region firmwares and you will not get any signal.So check and then update here so we can help you better.
If you bought your phone from Argentina, most likely it is s8500L.
So may be the problem is in the proper firmware.
If I'm right, you can get the right one from sammobile website:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=2&m=GT-S8500L&r=6#regiona
Best Regards,
Nasko

Try one of the indian firmware its a old firmware try ddjk3 from asian version. Use v5.65 of multiloader. And after a successfull flash just flash again the version u want. Please check boot change and full download. Don not tick master rom. See if this helps you this is tested by me as once the same problem happened to me.
Thanx
Thank you very much for your help but I can not fix the problem. try and feel the same. I can not go to 1.2 or 1.0 bada no longer do: (
I forgot to tell you that when I get the ERROR ERASE, cel look at the screen and says:
! ABNORMAL SW DETECTED!
UPGRADE ONLY!. "
That's a must or I have to do to fix it?.
Is it S8530 ?
if so - you can try this firmware
S8530XXJL2 ## 1.2 2010 December S8530OXAJK7 Open Europe Download
it's old one but great ... she helped me alot
if it still doesn't help - flash only the boot files - separately
let the device do restart and only reEnter download mode
and flash the other files ....
P.s very important - full download & LIS in multiloader
try to use ver 5.65 not the 5.67
make sure that your pc is not busy and that you have sufficient battery
Good Luck
This is S8500. and is loaded to the maximum (which is left over when flash bada 2.0) but I can not flash bada 1.2 and 1.0.
You've tried all the files separately by a full flash and low but the same thing. I always throw the same error. Multiolader already tested with 6.62 and 5.65 and the pc without aplicasiones open.
Probe with more than 10 firmwares and none let me.
adfree a question. is possible to merge the bada ams.bin 1.2 with 2.0?
Since doing that I think I may have a sign. I saw many users in Argentina had the problem of not having signal bada 2.0.
They are very different both AMS.bin?. merge is too complicated to operate the signal?
Thank you very much from now! Greetings friend!
I'm using only Multiloader 5.67 if I play with bada 2.0...
XP 32 bit
Also for downgrade from 2.0 to 1.x I use only 5.67 to prevent "funny" phenomenons...
Best Regards
I use multiloader v5.65 and it works flawlessly when i do upgrading or downgrading on bada 2.0. I am having windows 7 32 x86-32 bits.
So adfree i think its not mandatory to use only v5.67 infact v5.65 works better and error free. But may be different person have different choices
I had simmilar isue (exept signal problem) while tried to downgrade S8500OXAKK7 2.0 to original Croatian 1.2 S8500XXKF3_S8500OXFKA1_TRA.
1st I had to flash Arabic S8500JPJG2. Worked fine for me! All done with MultiLoader v.5.65
Maybe ...
Try to flash to original beta rom of bada 2.0
but an earlier ver like :
S8500XPKH1 ## 2.0 2011 August S8500OXAKH1 Open Europe
and than try to downgrade
hope it will work
