German computer magazin Chip claims that the SGS gets a function to upgrade via OTA with the official FroYo update.
But that's not correct, right?

So far its not correct, What I gather is that euro and asia gets their updates via KIEs while america will be doing OTA

Hi everyone i have a unlocked uk i9000 i was wondering what firmware version i need to be on to get the new official froyo rom through kies ive just flashed too jm1 with baseband jg6. plugged my phone into kies but there is no update available, is it because its not available yet or because im on the wrong firmware is this one official.
Can i still use kies to update if i currently using official HK firmware I9000ZSJG4, but my product code is singtel's GT-I9000HKAXSO?
the product code is default. Or do i need to trick kies and go back to I9000DXJG4?
And how safe is it to do it?
Should be alright to do a direct update from KIES.
Hi,
I purchased my Note from Amazon.de and it came with Baseband Version: N7000XXLB2 which is a German version. I live in England so I wanted to move to a UK rom. As I could not root it by any given method, I downladed " N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)" and flashed it via Odin. Than I got my root but now I can't get it updated via built in Software Update thing. My current Baseband is:N7000XXKK5. Any suggestions to get official OTA updates?
Regards
I believe because you are on latest build 2.3.6 that you won't get any OTA updates until ICS is available. I've never had one OTA update (had the phone for 6 months) and always put this down to the fact that I have manually updated many kernels and ROMs so am always on a recent one.
If you flashed the latest UK rom then you won't get any OTA updates since it's the latest rom.
Even if you get ota you should not update as you would loose root doing so.

make sure you only have root and not non stock kernel.
that stops ota as well as having different csc than the stock rom you are with. In my experience at least.
So if you dont have latest rom for your csc and do want it with functional ota then flash through Odin a pre december version that is rootable in conventional way. Then only root it. After root try Ota, it should deliver incremental upgrades. After each test root thought by updating superuser app. Tedious process but that guarantees keeping Ota and root for me at least.
All at own risk, and do the proper backups like efs if you havent done so already. pm if you need more details

I bought a 9305 locked to EE in the UK, and unlocked it. I've been using giffgaff for the last couple of months.
I've yet to see an OTA update for 4.1.2. Has anyone with a locked EE phone seen an OTA update yet?
I'm curious as to whether the fact that I'm not running on EE anymore is the reason I'm not seeing the OTA update.
I couldnt get an OTA update so plugged it in via Kies and it updated. Try that

I bet you can still update as normal with kies. I haven't unlocked and still couldn't update through ota. I did it with kies and it was fine.
Also will be unlocking the phone officially via ee as I don't want to mess around with them. All.mobile companies are finding excuses to void warranties and leave you be once they hook you up with their contracts
Updated with kies last night. I would be nice if OTA worked, I can't stand kies.
Just realised when I unlocked i could do OTA updates.... just checked and no update for me. will try Kies tonight
Anyone here i nthe USA got the official ota or update through pc companion yet? I'd prefer not to flash the nordic or baltic stock rom if i can avoid it. I'm getting a bit impatient waiting for the update though.
