[Q] Debrand Galaxy S

Hello!
I'm thinking of de-branding my Galaxy S in hoping I may get latest updates faster and not have to wait for o2 to "OK" the update.
Can anyone tell me if this is worth it?

Well you could always wait for the official froyo release and see.
I'm not sure whats different on the O2 branded firmware, With the orange one they had changed the icons and theme and it was horrid.
De-branding was one of the first things I did when I got the phone (like literally the first day! )
Edit: probably should add this shouldn't be in the dev forum....

I have a o2 Galaxy S and the only branding on it I can see is a extra o2 Arena wallpaper, and o2 bookmarks in the browser which I deleted all of them.
Their latest firmware is JM1.
Mine doesn't have the 3 button recovery mode, so I have to wait for official o2 release of Froyo

Is jm1 the latest official update from samsung? Iv only just got the jm1 update the other day and it seems that most people got it ages ago. hmmm just dont know what to do!

Are you sure you don't have the three button recovery?... 3 buttons have always worked on my handset, bought in the UK and on O2 with O2 firmware...
ScottSmith:
O2 JM1 was available with test mode was turned on in kies a while back, but they pulled it and it has now re-appeared on their servers. It is the latest official release from O2.
As for de-branding to get updates... I'm waiting to see how the froyo rollout goes before going through it... With O2 the branding is minimal and the handsets don't seem to be locked in any way so I'd say bare with it and wait to decide when froyo is avail.

I'm sure recovery mode has been disabled, tried numerous times with no sucess. I got mine 3 weeks ago, had JM1 preinstalled. Guessing that the newer phone have it disabled.

Thank you all for your advise! I'm going to wait for froyo and see!

Try recovery mode by holding volume up instead of down.

[Q] Latest Kies But Device Version Cannot be Updated

I am only on Firmware Verion XXJF3 and I know that a newer version is avaiable. Yet for some weird reason my Kies application does not recognise this. I thought getting the new version would help and today I got the latest Kies 1.5.3.10103_100 but still no joy :-(
Also my phone was purchased on Orange Contract if this helps
any ideas please?

I think it's because the phone is an Orange contract phone, Samsung have said Froyo has been released but won't be available for contract phone users until about the end of this month.
Hang in there buddy

Thanks for the reply. Im surprised that even the newer version JM1 is not avaiable as opposed to Froy. I would have thought that at least I could update to this version :-(

device's version cannot be updated
Hi,
When I select firmware upgrade from Kies, I get this information:
Model Name: GT-9000
CurrentVersion: PDA:JF3/Phone:JF3
This device's version cannot be updated.
I have done a factory reset to my phone and even unrooted the phone but still i am getting the same error.
I have tried to reinstall Kies as well but no luck.
Did any one find any think on this.

Hi,
I have a question that's related.
If you have an Orange contract phone, but have flashed with a firmware to remove Orange branding, does Kies then think that your phone is non-contract and subsequently update it?
Thanks!

Froyo Update for Thailand?

Froyo Update for Thailand? Just checked Kies and Froyo still not available. I'm currently running JPH, and Kies says no update available. Anyone in Thailand with any more info?

you can update ROM by using Odin if you can't update by Kies
How to update (Thai) >> www .droidsans . com/galaxy-s-froyo-update-available

Ok, so Im a little slow when it comes to this stuff. Im trying to understand how this works. I am from Canada living in Thailand. I bought the Galaxy here in Thailand with the expectation to take it home with me. I have looked at the firmware on the phone and tells me its DXJF4. I was wondering why I can not upgrade to Froyo using Kies? My understanding so far is I need to upgrade via ODIN or trick kies into thinking I have a different firmware for it to do the upgrade itself. So Im wondering what the difference is between JPH and JF4?
Also, has the update for Froyo not been released thru Kies in Thailand yet? Is that what the issue is?

Same situation
Hi,
I'm in the same situation, I'm living in Indonesia and on JG4. I bought the phone outright and it is rooted and unlocked. I have tried tricking kies with no luck and thinking trying odin now.
I have the JPO rom i downloaded for the UK, will this kill my phone if i flash to this European rom or do i have to download the update specificaly for JG4?
Thanks!

[Q] FYI + Q Bell Froyo update out on the 10th Dec.

Good day everyone,
Just letting everyone know that the Bell i9000M Froyo update will be out on Dec. 10th, dunno vers. number though
Notice was sent out to all Bell Stores, document dated Dec. 10th, but it says " out now ".
So check your kies to see if it is out now, otherwise it'll be on the 10th
On that same note, am i the only one who after flashing a rom through Odin, no matter what rom i flash back on the phone, Kies says that this ver. cannot be updated?

Confirmed:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/12/08/b...upgrade-to-os-2-2-froyo-coming-december-10th/

Yeah that's the document that I received a sales rep for Bell

so is it JK4?

Does anyone know if its live now?
or is dec. 10th the date?
edit, also is there a larger document?
There is no upgrade procedure?
Please be OTA....

Update is through Kies, there are links in the documents leading to that
unfortunetly can't check if it's out on Kies now, as stated in my frist post, when i connect my phone no matter what rom (did this since my first flash with ODIN) it says this ver. is not upgradable, i even flashed back JH2 original stock and still same msg.
So if any1 is on stock 2.1 Bell, try odin and let us know.
Thank you.

I'm on stock 2.1 JH2. Not available yet throug Kies.

Still out of the box rom? or did you flash back to jh2?

I ended up getting a brand new in box replacement after my first one died. Haven't flashed the phone since I got it. Out of the box it had the newer JH2 with the updated 3 button recovery bootloader working.

Just upgraded through Keis. My heart stopped when the screen got stuck at the start up screen. I left the phone for about a min and the phone finally loaded

What is the firmware version number of the upgrade??? P

[Q] Note ICS Update question

Hello guys,
I bought my wife a Galaxy Note for her birthday last month. I have been waiting for the ICS update to show up on the phone and I have gotten nothing. I go into settings > about phone > update, it says phone is up to date. I tried Kies on two different laptops and it says GT-N7000 does not support initializing. I have removed Kies and reinstalled it, but no luck.
I did more digging to see where my phone was meant to be sent. The model is N7000XXLA4, so according to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356325 , my phone is the one meant for Germany. Yet they got their updates almost 2 months ago. I have tried a factory reset on the phone but still no luck. Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong?
PS: I know how to root and install ROMs. As the phone is not for me, I really want to stick to the official updates.
Thanks!

Is the phone rooted? That'll break any updates.

No man, never rooted the phone.

Anyone?

If this is German ROM, you will get the OTA update only when you are located in Germany and connected to a German Carrier.
If you are located outside, you can download the update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and flash with Odin 1.876 (same link).
