hello guys...
so i think we heard the good news
samsung has started rolling out Froyo update to galaxy s i9000 finally, so i was reading here in the forum that a member have done the update without removing lag fix or unrooting and his phone is bricked
so do i really have to remove the One Click Lag Fix and unroot my mobile to have the update without problems?
another question please, i have bought my i9000 from saudi arabia and the phone has the arabic language which i really need it for the arabic messages that are coming to me ( i live in Egypt and my first language is Arabic), also for the navigation and my gps works perfectly without any problems, so will this update remove the arabic language from my phone? and will it screws my gps?
Please help me i need advices quickly cause i'm very worried!!!
Always remove lagfix before you temper with the firmware. Always. No Exception. Never Forget. Biggest single cause of problems.
As for rooting... I never unroot my phone. Doesn't seem to pose much of an issue. But it's a good idea to do a factory reset before updating you firmware.

HI,
I installed froyo on my galaxy S recently and i was wondering if there is anything out there that lets me view arabic in full (with connected letters etc) right now they are all disconnected and the words are left to right not right ot left. In 2.1 i installed an update.zip in one of the roms and that bought me arabic support is there anything similar i can do for froyo?
Thanks

You mean you had a problem after the upgrade? If so, what was it? Or what problem are you referring to?
Thanks.

I did see that page before. But my arabic is not strong enough to understand the instructions there. I am still learning. Do you know of any page that shows those instructions in English?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have this phone and after trying to update it thru Kies I get this message:
This device's version cannot be updated I see also this numbers in the same window:
PDA:JM6 / PHONE::JM1 / CSC:JM4
I'm really new to this and I simply wanted to have Froyo on my phone. Is this possible? I really don't know what this number means. I live in Slovenia (Europe).
Thank you for any kind of advise.

Wait for Official Froyo to be released...You should get it...
However, If you want it right now, than use Ref. heck and see if that gives you...I am using JP6 Froyo , updated via Kies.

its a reg hack and froyo has been removed from kies. Read the android development sub forum for details of getting Froyo on your SGS
Hi all!!
I am a SGS i9000 user from Finland. Currently I am using official Froyo:: xwjpa ( buildnumber) and I9000xxjpp (baseband version ) on my cell phone! the phone is lock free, i mean, its not locked!! I can use in any networks anywhere!! The main point of my post is that you guys talk about lag fix and custom firmwares and bla bla. But when I go through the post I just dont find anything except ROOT, FLASH, MOD bla bla,....sorry that I am a newbie user and dont know much about this terms! I am much disappointed about the lag problems. The phone has around 4 pages of apps ( i hope you understand what I mean). I am sad with its GPS too. But , mostly i am dissappointed about the speed that it gives though i belive it have good configuration.
Can Anyone help me about installing custom firmwares, and how to do so, and as well the best one so that i can feel the race on the track!!
heheh, sorry for the poor english language!!
kiitos!!

Doesnt make any sense. How did you got 2.3.2 leak (never through kies)if its not rooted? (or wasnt before)...
How do you expect install some other version of swype if you cant erase the system app , for that you need root rights?
Installing languages to an existing swype works on some custom roms . Not sure on stock. You are custom or stock? And did you check out the 2.3.2 thread?
As I said I bought my phone yesterday and I use stock rom. I checked the settings where i found that the the firmware edition is 2.3.2. the problem is that swype does not contain any language by default and i can not add any . i need Greek and English.
thanks

You wanna tell me you bought the phone in a normal shop (not second hand, or ebay etc) . And you have on it the stock 2.3.2 ? And swype languages are missing?
Well if this is the case then please take it back as they screwed you big time and ask for your money back or a working phone. This should be covered by your warranty.
Try to to do a factory reset before though.
But I still believe (kinda know, check the 2.3.2 thread) you got yourself a phone that was already rooted and the leak flashed. If thats the case and I am 99 percent sure.
Root it and put the 2.3.3 on it. You will have english. And no idea what other languages are there.
Or get the rom that was originaly for your phone meant.
Here the link to the BETA LEAK that you have installed there is also some links to the SWYPE FIX http://goo.gl/Zo0Pt
EDIT: Swype wont be your only problem though. Put on it the newest ROM (includes, root, odin etc). OR warranty repair (you walking back, yelling at the sellers and asking them for your money back). Your only 2 real options
