So i wanted to know if i flash via Odin, can i still update to Froyo via Kies normally and can i get official firmware releases in the future?
if you can do Odin, might as well stay with Odin
but yes, you can use Kies to flash Froyo when it comes out officially
Just need to do the registry hack
Sorry i ment that can i upgrade to the official Froyo when it comes out. Not those leaked ones. My bad.
yes, even for the official one you'll probably have to do the KIES registry hack for it to load the official Froyo, if you happen to be in any other non official ROM
Ok thanks mate!
If i flash to JF3 and upgrade from JF3 to JM2 via Kies officially. Will that work?
So to explain this clearly. I want to flash JF3, but i want to know can i upgrade in Kies for JM2 after that and can i upgrade to Froyo in the future without any registry editing and stuff.
JM2 is a legit ROM from Kies, so yes, you should get 2.2 when it comes out from Kies without registry change

Want to revert back to official Galaxy S i900 Software, what do I need to do? I'm running the JPH Beta version with Ryanz lagfix. Do I need to undo the lagfix and root before I precede? Will I need to flash the stock version with Odin?
before you do anything, you need to first UNDO the lag fix
go to Ryzaas topic to learn how
once you get that out of the way, you can flash back to stock firmware
but first you need to download the correct firmware you want to use, and the correct pit file, it could be 512 or 513 or 800 something....
Before you downgrade from Froyo, be aware some people apparently had serious issues doing so on JPC.. My recommendation is to stick to Froyo from now on, and upgrade to final Froyo when released

I see. But when final Froyo comes out will I be able to upgrade through Kies? An if yes, will I have to unroot and un-Lagfix my phone?
The reason I upgraded to Beta Froyo is I let Kies upgrade my phone software and it almost bricked my phone. At the time I was running the official software but rooted and with lagfix.
So how do you go back to official then? all i get told by kies is that im at the latest version (XXJPK)
Hi there guys.
I can't remember whether my SGS had the JF3 firmware out of the box or not. And, since both JM7 and JM8 are not cutting it for me, I'd like to revert back to my phone's stock firmware. Is there a way to find out what the firmware "out of the box" used to be?
Thanks in advance.
europe = JM2 latest stock
Thank you for your reply.
So JM2 is basically the latest non-beta firmware version?
Also, should I use the "usual" method to flash JM2 and should I get the files at samfirmware?
Please bear with me as I am very new to this flashing stuff.
samfirmware is fast and easy
or you can do it via Kies but it's a challenge dealing with Kies as most people can tell you

Kies would not update me past JM1. I flashed an old firmware to my phone and as expected Kies prompted me for a firmware update. Only to JM1 though and after JM1 was installed it said my phone was up to date, idk if this is the same for everyone else just letting you know ...
Is it even possible to "downgrade" by using Kies? Cause I can't seem to get it to work, even with all of the registry hacks described in several threads, here on XDA.
Guess I'll have to use Odin after all...

I have encountered the same in the past. Not sure on which productcode JM2's available.
Hi,
I've tried searching for this but haven't found all the info I need before I take the plunge. The phone is a 16GB model originally from Vodaphone but with no sign of branding.
Early on after getting this phone I flashed JG5 2.1, and since then kies hasn't shown any firmware updates.
I haven't found a definite way to hack kies to upgrade from JG5 directly to JPO, so I'm thinking of going the Odin route.
Some people say you have to flash to JM8 then to JPO, is that true? Or can I go directly to JPO downloaded from Samsungfirmware?
many thanks for any help I can get

This should be in general or Q/A. In future don't post in Development just because it gets more traffic.
I updated via Kies using the registry hack to go from JM1 to JPO, without any problems. On samfirmware it does say you should flash JM8 then JPO but I'm not sure if this makes any difference. My phone is going great since I updated to JPO, straight from JM1. All I can say is that if you try it you've got nothing to lose. So why not?
ALSO! Please make sure that you can access download mode. If not use one of the fix's on this forum.

This is the same question with me. I want to upgrade from froyo XXJPA to JPO, why should the JM8 then to the JPO??
and what CSC, PHONE and MODEM files should I use since theres only PDA ...
Anybody know where I can find this firmware?
I9000XFJM5/I9000OXFJM2/I9000XXJM1/I9000XFJM5
I'm planning to Kies upgrade to the UK version of 2.2 Froyo. But I want to have a localized backup for when a official update hits JM5 So I can reflash it with odin.
Also if I upgrade with kies is there any method to revert back to the XFJM5?

i checked samfirmware, couldn't find it
Hi,
Firstly, apologies if this question has already been answered. I tried using the search facility but didn't find the answer I needed.
I purchased my SGS from Malaysia. It came loaded with JG4 and the Singtel (Singapore) branding. I decided to flash the firmware to JP3 in order to get rid of the Singtel apps and the splash screen.
I have a few questions:
1. Will Kies still allow me to update to official Froyo even though I manually flashed to JP3? I'm aware that the official firmware isn't available yet for most of Asia, but want to make sure that when it does become available, Kies will let me update.
2. If I flash an unofficial European firmware onto my device, will I then be able to upgrade via Kies to the official European firmware? How does Kies determine which update is ideal for your phone? Is it based on the current firmware? Or do they check your serial number or something to determine where the phone was sold and only recommend that regions firmware? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 in order for the Kies update to recognise that I need an update?
I know that if I really wanted to I could update things manually via Odin, but I would now prefer to stick to the official method of updating.
Thanks.
Similar difficulties
Hey,
I am having similar problems. I got my galaxy s from tmobile in uk but I upgraded my galaxy s to froyo 2.2 using Odin3. Problem is at that time I didn't have enough knowledge. The phone got upgraded to 2.2 properly but now a lot of functions like Swype don't work on it and also the Internet crashes quite oftenly also it is a little slow. I came to xda developers also in hopes to find out how to re flash galaxy s to 2.1 or fix my problems.
My advice for you is however, don't rush into anything like I did.
Regarding Swype, mine was disabled after I flashed the firmware too. Try holding down the button in the bottom left of the messaging screen to turn it back on.
Bump.
Can anybody shed some light on either question?
Is the official 2.2 update available yet via Kies?
I updated out of the box (got phone yesterday - unlocked but has some Vodafone branding in ROM) but still no 2.2 update.
Thanks
Phil

Well that's sorta the problem for me... I don't even know whether Kies will give me the option for updating to the official 2.2 firmware if it already sees that I have an unofficial 2.2 firmware installed already.
Having done some research (thanks google) I know Kies does not provide Froyo for Vodafone branded phones yet. However it appears to be due very soon.
The easiest way to get Froyo I think is to install ROM manager, then download a custom Froyo, stick it on your internal SD and flash it from recovery mode. Doc Froyo comes highly recommended
Probably not. I remember reading somewhere that kies will give you a message saying firmware not recognised.
