I have a UK o2 JM1 SGS, if I use the reg hack to upgrade to the Nordic 2.2 now, will I be able to use a Hack to then apply the 2.2 UK rom while already on 2.2?
Would I have to go back to JM1 then go to UK 2.2? I don't have 3BR mode on my phone so I cannot risk using Odin.
I don't know how android applies it updates, if it like windows applying a service pack and updating files? or is it like an iPhone where it just wipes and copies a complete new rom on?
Thanks

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
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

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.
Now I have a stock ROM, android 2.2 froyo SGS. I already rooted and used OCLF it. And now, I want to update it thru KEIS using samsung made stock rom, maybe 2.2.1 the latest?
What do I need to do before I can update my phone? Do I need to remove the partition made of OCLF and the OCLF itself? And also unroot?
Another alternative, I'm willing to fully reset my phone, then update it just like having it fresh from store then update. What do I need to do?
Of the two alternatives, I prefer resetting it. Cause I want a fresh phone. Thanks!

You didnt tell, where you live and what your regional settings are.
ONLY if you are in Europe: Reset your SGS to any stock version. (You'll find all of them on samfirmware.com). Use "Kies Registry Patcher" to fake Kies-settings. Tell Kies that your version is the XEU version. Now you will get the official UK english Froyo 2.2.1. AT the first start you may choose any other European language and region.

Sorry about that sir, I'm from the Philippines. Am I able to update to the latest or not? Thanks! And If yes, about the reset phone, Do I need to unroot and remove OCLF? Thanks!
Need to remove root OCLF etc .
Update to your networks stock rom via Kies YES if your network have updated to 2.2.1 No if they have not .
Update to Samsungs stock rom ( not your networks ) yes using unofficial route stock rom from Samsung Firmware and Odin method to flash new rom .
Network rom the rom supplied to your phone customized by your network.
Stock Samsung the rom supplied by Samsung without network customisation .
Factory reset is always best before any update i find .

Hello all,
I am an android user from United Kingdom, I have read through threads/forums about the kies registry patcher.
I tried to follow steps to update from 2.1 Eclair, but I cannot successfully patch the registry and fool samsung kies so I can install 2.2 Froyo!
The reason I want to use this patcher is so I can officially and legally update my Eclair to Froyo ! (I was previously on 2.2.1 Netherlends) I was using this Netherlends firmware for a few months, but I decided I wanted to revert to stock 2.1, as I thought it would be easy to just update my firmware officially through samsung kies once I had 2.1, but i cannot do that.
So I've been thinking about it, by upgrading to 2.2 Netherlends (XEN product code) have I made it impossible to upgrade my firmware to a United Kingdom one? Because it does state on Samsung kies that my Current firmware version is:
PDA:JF7 / PHONE:JF5 / CSC:SWC (XEN)
I am confused on what to do next...really, I just ultimately want a non-voided galaxy s and have legit 2.,2 so I can update to 2.3 Gingerbread, as it has a better file system just like rooted phones have.
I have been researching for so long, and I am fairly new to flashing, but I am not totally ignorant with it. I would appreciate it so much if you experienced guys helped me =].
Kindest Regards,
Carl.
Am warning you, cuz always this can go wrong .( The spoofing and checking if you can is safe, applying the new firmware can always go wrong, backup your efs folder before!!!)
have you tried the latest registry patcher (1.8) + latest kies (2.0) and spoof your UK CSC? (like XEU? or what you have)
It should offer your JPY 2.2.1 . And you could install it.
After you install the 2.2.1 you probably will have to change your CSC into XEU(assuming thats what you had?, or you are t-mobile UK user?) again with that code + imei (not sure it wont be KOR after this)
