I've seen many Indian & Other Country users having this problem, whenever they connect to Kies it states that their Firmware is latest or GT S-8500 does not suport initialization..........although they are running BADA 1.2
So here's your Solution





Things You’ll Need

• Firmware - http://www.samfirmware.com [Search for your model w.r.t your Country]

• Multiloader - http://uploaded.to/file/4id4wg9q




Instructions

• First of all Extract the Firmware package.

• Then switch off your Phone and remove sim card & Memory card before the process.

• Also, don’t forget to do a Backup.

• Then (while the phone is turned off) Hold Volume Down + Lock Key + Power Off key for a few Seconds until you see ‘Download Mode’ on the Screen.

• Now, connect your phone to your PC via USB.

• Now in Multiloader you must see COM4[Ready] or COM5 [Ready]…..or something like that appearing after connecting the phone.

• Now (in Multiloader) check LSI. Then check boot and check Full Download.

• After that select click boot and select the folder ‘Boot Files’

• Then Click on ‘Port Search’. & Then click ‘Download’

• Now let the phone restart and pull out the batteries and again put it back in Download Mode.

• After that, click ‘Amss; and select the ‘Amms’ file.

• click ‘apps’ and select the ‘apps_compressed’ file

• click ‘rsrc1′ and select the ‘Rsrc_S8500_[Country]_ODD’ file

• click ‘Rsrc2′ and select the ‘Rsrc2_S8500(Low)’ file

• click ‘CSC’ and select ‘CSC_S8500_[Country]_ODD.csc’ file

• click ‘SHP APP’ and select ‘ShpApp.app’ file

• click ‘FOTA’ and select ‘bplib_S8500Op[Country]Common.fota’ file

[ALL THE ABOVE FILES ARE TO BE SELECTED FROM THE FIRMWARE PACKAGE]

• then click ‘Port Search’ and after that Finally click ‘Download’ and Wait for the phone to Restart and you’re DONE.

• Ask if any problems

Rosario, ARGENTINA!
Hi! i have a friend who have a Wave 8500L , im from ARGENTINA, and there is no actualization in my country , the closest one is from VENEZUELA, but it changes the PDA and CSC

-------------------------------------------------------------Bada-----------PDA-----------------------CSC

Venezuela 2012 May--------------------------------2.0--------S8500LVHLE1------------S8500LVMTLE1

Argentina (Personal) 2011 December--------1.2S-----8500LVDKH1 ## *--------S8500LPSNKH1


So, if i use the VENEZUELA one, is there any risks or something?? what changes there would be??

thanks! and sorry for my english!

I have downloaded the XELF1 firmware (Russia). Where dafuq are those boot files?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And btw...do I need to root my phone to get 2.0 and after to install a custom rom?
Hi XELF1 is update so it is normal for empty boot files
I suggest Download full firmware for Russia XELB2 and after flashing try update with XELF1
and Rooting is for android.Bada doesn't need root ;)

Thank you very much hero355 for your fast reply, even if you destroy my dreams :). So i have bada 1.1 value pack, chaton, android theme and... that's IT!
I use a SGS with CM9, and my daughter (11 years) made a crush for Android, i will buy one if she will have the good results on the school :D.

Thank you again.

Worked for me!!
I have seen the post, It's impressive :) lol

Well, i had to unlock the network but then I got only sos calls
And the problem with the only sos calls were old sim card

I just changed the sim card at my provider and it works!!

Thank you a lot!!!

I updated Bada 1.2 to Bada 2 through Kies.

Now I wish to install a custom rom. But in case something goes wrong, i should be having Bada 2 firmware to flash again. I searched extensively for Bada 2 firmware for Wave GT-S8500. I could downloaf zip from Sammobile. But while opening the file i get a mesaage "the file you are trying to open is either not an archive or is damaged". Without backup Bada 2, i cannot go ahead with custom rom.

Could anyone provide me with Bada 2 zip?

On sammobile site there are two firmware files for same pda and csc for GT-S8500. One is an Android 2 version and another is a Bada 2 version. I wonder what could be Android 2 version. Can anybody explain this?
