Hi guys...
I've used the search function on the forum and it has come up blank.. Not sure if i'm wording the problem correctly but couldn't find anything so that why as a last resort i've decided to post...
I gave my m8 my Galaxy Ace 2 and he updated it for me to the 4.1.2 Jellybean, and to be honest when I had the phone back off him it ran like a bag of crap..
I asked him to restore my phone to the official Gingerbread 2.3.6 but when I got it back off him the phone was in Russian.. I have managed to change the language to English but there are a lot of icons on the phone now that are still in Russian.
Can anyone tell me where to get the 2.3.6 Gingerbread BTU firmware from so I can get it flashed to how it was originally..
As I said I have searched on here and on Google and it comes up with links that are dead...
Any help would be great
Thanks all and look forward to hearing from you as soon as you can..

All of your questions apart from which update .zip to use have been answered many many times before.
Your question about the update.zip does not give enough information for anybody other than a mind reader to answer.
I humbly suggest you get used to the advanced search feature on this board it`s great and you could of answered all your questions yourself.

Hope u find the answers for your questions here in this FAQ

That will answer most. Though using search you can be more specific.

Hello everybody, this is my first post. This may seem a little basic or not I'm not sure but I need your help.
I want to upgrade my cellphone software from android 2.1 to android 2.2 but there are several problems around there. I can't get my cellphone connected to Kies so I can't check for an official android 2.2 firmware.
I have been searching other ways to do it and I find here and in other sites Odin to install the new firmware.
I have 2 questions about this.
Does anybody know a way to make kies work? (it just said connecting but it never ends, it happen after installing an update for kies from samsung)
Why there are diferent ROMs for europa, america, etc ? I mean what will happen if I install a ROM that was build for europa in my cellphone. Does anybody know a ROM (2.2) that works fine for my cellphone in Uruguay (America latina).
Thanks in advance.

First of all Bienvenido or Welcome...whichever fits your language
Ok, now.....Kies, not familiar with it but on the ROM question...you want a WWE ROM which are multi language. I will move your thread to the right area...you'll get the help you need.

Hi there, i'm from Uruguay too and want to upgrade to Gingerbread. The model here is 9000T and comes with 2.1 upgrade 1. Theres no upgrade via Kies.
I've tried the spoofing method, but i still get a "This device cannot be upgraded" (but in spanish ).
I got too many stuff installed, so i'm trying not to use the ODIN method, but for now it's the only option left.
Any recomendation?
Thanks

Sorry if this has been beat to death, been searching but no definitive answer. I am a couple of months into the Note 8.0 and did the factory OTA update to 4.2.2... however it seems to be killing my battery. I would like to go back to stock 4.1.2, but cant seem to find a USA 4.1.2 firmware to download.... any ideas?
Any assist is most appreciated!

Just go to development thread for available custom ROM's. Each ROM's has instructions on how to flash it there too.
1. root ur phone link
2. install clock work recovery via odin link
3. flash custom rom u like link
Just don't forget to back-up your important files like contacts, messages, etc. You can also do a nandroid back-up if you want.
