[Q] Going from JG5 to JPO Froyo

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.

[Q] JPA newer Froyo than JP6 from Kies?

Hi Guys,
I did the reg trick and had the Kies download froyo JP6. (swedish)
Just out of curiosity, connected to Kies today -
Kies upgraded to 1.5.3.10103_100
and is offering a firmware upgrade too:
Current version: PDA:JP6 / Phone: JPM /CSC:JP4
Latest version: PDA:JPA/ Phone: JPP /CSC: JP4
Is this a newer Froyo ?
Would you recommend disable lagfix and reset to factory defaults?
Thanks

Yes JPA is newer than JP6. Always uninstall lag fix prior to flashing ROM. It is recommended to perform factory reset and delete cache but not absolutely necessary.

Thanks - just installed it. But kinda regretting it now.
I tried to use One-Click to root it - and getting a weird
E:signature verification failed
Is there any issue with rooting JPA?

No issues with the Dutch JPA firmware. Flashed it thru Kies, then CF root and voodoo on it and running smoothly now.

Hi Lads.
I've also updated to [PDA:JPA/ Phone: JPP /CSC: JP4] and now can't figure out, which file to use from this post to Root it...
Can somebody please suggest?
Thanks in advance.
[Update]
This one worked fine for me: CF-Root-JPJPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip

Update and root

Hey I just have a little quedtion
I just bought a new galaxy s and I am just wondering what will get better results
all I want for now is lagfix ...so
Should I update to froyo then root or root and stay at 2.1
What will givr me better results??

I think you should update to the JPX Firmware and then search for the JPA WiFi driver in the Forum. Because the JPX is so good that you do not need a lagfix. Just root it with CF Root. Do not take the JPY because it has a bad GPS problem.
PS: You can do it without flashing the JPA driver but then your battery
will lose aproximately 10% of charge per hour.

thanks for your answer ... But if I update to jpx and dont need lagfix why do I need to Root it ??
Btw am I supposed to be doing something differrent becausr I was going to update through kies...

I know that the JPX is an offical firmware but I thought it is only aviable in England over Kies? I haven't tried to update my Galaxy S over Kies because my friend did this and he bricked his one with that. I use Odin because it's more Stable.
If you root your phone than you have special functions for your phone. The CF Root flash too the 2e Recovery in which you can start the Clockworkmod. And trou this you can backup your whole file system. So if you ever will have a problem you can just flash back.
Like Time machine for the Mac.
Is that a reason for you to root? If no then you can live happy wihout it ;-)

Newly bought galaxy S eh?
Do your firmware update via Kies and stay away from Odin until you've read all the necessary stickies in this forum on how to update and what to back up.
Check the other questions/issues here in the Q&A about new sgs users getting in all sorts of trouble because they got too excited and flashed without reading and comprehending first.

Hey, thanks for all replies....
I am i total newbie on on galaxy s related stuff,
all i want to do is a lagfix.... i dont want to use roms or anything i like my phone how it is but i just want it a little faster...
I think my phone version is JG3? I want to update officially using kies...
once i kno more about this phone i might try some other ****..
but for now i just want to keep it simple.....
so from what i gathered is that if i update through kies i will get JPX which is the best official thing? then i dont need a lagfix?

1. read into fuguroot or get some proper custom kernel cf-root, fugumod, voodoo, speedmod for the JVO
2. as you didnt post the link or name what you found cant judge it.
3. depends on the user
4. when problems occur you can brick the phone.
PS: Using search here helps alot. all these questions have been repeatedly answered also in a big thread thats its stickied here. I bet you have read it....
