[Q] Cant update using kies? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone help me. I updated to jm1 a while back using odin and now want to update my phone using kies. The latest kies says is that my software is the latest and doesn't need updating. Any ideas whats wrong? Thanks

What would you like to update? Do you want to update your Galaxy to Froyo? Froyo is not available in the UK (I am not sure if you are from the UK, but I guessed that from your avatar) so far, it will be next week. Unless you want to use the reghack - you can find more information about this here on XDA dev forums...

Thanks for the info.
Updated the phone to froyo.xwjp6 with kies by looking at the sticky that was put up today. Quite impressed!!!

good stuf! froyo is wayy beter than eclair lol

[Q] Is I9000XXJM1 latest Eclair for Galaxy S ?

I have rooted Galaxy S and my battery last like 15 hours of moderate use :-/ I want to update on latest Eclair since I dont want to mess with reg hack until Froyo is available for my network. Can someone tell me is there any newer firmware than I9000XXJM1 and ECLAIR.XFJM6, thats what I have under About. If yes, I want to update it and I hope that I will get better battery life because this is disaster since I use Juice Defender and my data plan and WiFi are off when the screen is of.
Also, I cannot check is there newer firmware trough KIES, it tells me to make backup, bla-bla. I dont want to flash it, firstly I want to see if there is something newer. Also, for VooDoo fix, I only need to make that "disable lagfix" folder and reboot my phone and can freely update it with no fear ?
Tnx a lot !

I think you forgot to tell us how you want to help us with android development. Since you posted in android development, I assume that's what you want to do...
If not, this thread should be posted in Questions & Answers.
The latest eclair firmwares are XWJM9 and DOJJ1, both of which are internal releases that you need to flash with Odin.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802909
JM9 is the newest 2.1-firmware
But I see that firmware doesnt have a Croatian UI, only support for the Croatian language in Swype
So this is the latest for end users that can be flashed using KIES ?
P.S. I hope that admins will move it to Q&A section.

Wow this is the first time I hear the 2.2.1 firmware is official, because you say you have it on a new Galaxy..
Anyway, on my JPY I used superoneclick and it worked like magic.
Just search this forum for SuperOneClick, and follow the instructions in the author's thread.
I just downloaded program, put my phone in USB debug mode, connected phone, launched SUperOneClick, pressed Root button, and that was about it...

u use odin? try using hardcore's kernel K12A. Flash it with odin, and go into recovery. One of the option is to install superuser (root).
Er, just curious, what's your build prop? Can let us know?
Yep. got my phone today from virgin and I can't root it either!
Just ran benchmark score @ 1232

[q] still no 2.2

Hi im on samsung Galaxy S vibrant from Bell.
Im sitll running 2.1 as no update has come through Kies for me for 2.2
I am using Kies 2.##.
My current firmware version is: PDA:JM2 / PHONE:JM1 / CSC:JM1 (BMC)
If you are impatient you could download JL2 (latest official Bell upgrade) and flash with Odin.
Otherwise...make sure you have latest version of Kies, etc...never used Kies myself so I can't help you troubleshoot that a whole lot
or bite the bullet and root the phone, use some custom ROMs
It's a little scary at first, but well documented and safe/stable nowadays
Lots of good options like Darky's, Ultimate etc. I've recently been playing with Doc&Stef's RomKitchen which is stable and well documented
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Could be that you are not using a Bell ROM. JM1/2 is a European ROM. The Bell 2.1 roms were jg2 and jh2. When you boot the device does it flash a screen with "GT-I9000M "?

Mod/Theming Question

Hey.
Yesterday I upgraded to 2.2 froyo and then rooted it. I was looking around and began to be interested in modding/themeing my phone. But, i'm unsure if I need to be on a custom rom or if being on the official rom is fine to use.
Thanks
Please Help Me!
I am currently running Firmware 2.2 Baseband Version UCJI6 Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1 Build FROYO.UCJI6. I updated to that with odin3 so my phone hasnt been rooted either. Obviously I want to upgrade my phone to a more recent version of 2.2 but am not sure how to go about it. I tried to update the kb1 that was just released but kies mini will not read my phone. Can anyone please help me. Id really appreciate it. Thanks!

For modding you want an unthemed rom for themeing it doesnt matter.

Alright, sweet. I'll probably just stick with theming then. I'm pretty satisfied with official froyo, so i don't really want to go through the hassle of flashing a custom rom onto my phone just for a mod.
And i'm just gonna ignore the other guy's comment, lol.

OTA finally, they are pretty slow.
Are you really going to limit your device with that garbage? Samsung and att have no idea what they are doing.

I think you just answered my concerns....
I did the update through Kies mini when it first came available and then 2 days ago did AIO tool and put on Phoenix ultimate so everything still worked for me. Odin, CWM, download mode....
Not Dev-related and other than there's about 6 threads with this same "news," if you had done some research beforehand you would know about the 3e recovery and rooting issues.
I tried bt feel bad so m back to diff rom
