But it does NOT say to which FW it will upgrade.
It just says "Firmware Upgrade Notification" and a bunch of warnings about data loss.
Can't I see which new FW is available anymore?
Or can I just click Upgrade and another screen with FW information and further confirmation will pop up?
Thanks,
Paulo
Solved....
Had the guts to click "Upgrade" and another screen pops with further confirmation.
Now I'm totally confused.
It offered me to upgrade to JM2.
I thought that JM2 was a test release, isn't it????
I thought that official versions always followed the pattern JF, JG, JH.... but never JM or JP.
Can someone give some light?
Thanks
JM2 is not a test release. My German unbranded Galaxy S came with JM2.

are you sure you're not in test mode on kies?
or you've probably forgetten about the hostfiles trick previously ;p
Can confirm that Froyo (2.2) is available here in Denmark through Kies. Upgrade went without problems.
Hopefully this will fix issues with connecting to certain wifi routers...
Froyo also available in Norway trough Kies. Not test mode.
But seem to be missing Android Market... Anyone else got that problem?
Android Market also missing here in Denmark. AppBrain App Market reports that Market is not installed. I hope they fix this soon :/
try wipe, it should work
Wipe did work. But lost all apps and data...
Can anyone confirm that a wipe will bring back the marked?

Froyo??? Which version? JP6?

Yes the "new" froyo from Kies (JPM).
Will try to wipe, just updated mine.
Market will return if you do a Factory Reset of the phone.
Beware that all apps and settings will be wiped too. If you want to backup Data+Apps first, MyBackup Pro is a good choice.
Not taking any chances i also backed up Photos/Videos/Music just in case something went wrong.
So the procedure for upgrading to Froyo (2.2) should look something like this:
1. Backup Apps + Settings (optional)
2. Backup Photos/Videos/Music (optional)
3. Upgrade firmware using Kies.
4. Restore Market by doing a Factory Reset.
5. Restore data (optional)
Enjoy the new firmware
Market also missing for me in Norway
Is it possible for someone who has done a wipe to extract their market APK (if there's such a thing) for the rest of us to install? I'd really prefer not to have to wipe.
= Post to wrong thread =
Which version of kies you are using?
To upgrade the phone to Froyo (2.2) i am using Kies 1.5.1.10074_45
And as far as i know it is not possible to bring back the Market app, without doing a Factory Reset. Maybe if you rooted the phone you could achieve this ?
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 .

Hi!
First of all, I thank you all devs doin so much work on these forums, I am going to donate to most of you developing for my phone. I am new to Android (coming from symbian, FINALLY!!). Maybe this helps, I used to read these forums regarding flashing, ROMs, MODs, etc, it didn't make sense till I purchased this SGN. I have little knowledge. So...
I've installed Titanium Back-up Pro (yes I payed for it) then this asked for root access, then I installed/flashed this kernel with root, CWM, Super User and other stuff.
Everything seems fine so far, Titanium says it's ok, I back-ed up all stuff with it.
My questions are:
1. I want to know if this change will remove completely my Samsung warranty? (the author of the modified kernel says that Samsung can track changes done to the sys files like kernel)
2. If Yes, this also mean I cannot update the firmware via Kies anymore?
3. Is there any possibility that the kernel I use to get updated? Does this mean it could conflict with some new firmware version (If I manage to get it updated)?
4. If I update the firmware (if possible considering existing situation), will this put back the original kernel? Is there any side effect?
Please take a minute to understand my concerns. I payed quite some $$.

1.Rooting voids the warranty, but good thing, flashing back to stock, you regains warranty.
2.You can update via kies (If your currant firmware same as it shud be for your country, b'coz if you manually update newer firmware, which was not released over kies in your country, Kies wont recognise and so you cant update) but, You will lose Root + CWM
3.Usually you will get newer kernel according to your firmware from thread you have used early. But to be practical almost newer near release kernel works for others. e.g. I am using CF Root KL7 for LA4
4.It depends on the way you are updating, If tou update over Kies OR with PC Odin, it will replace with original Kernel. Too keep Rooted n preserve CF root Kernel, you have to use Mobile Odin/ CWM to update firmware.
You may get details of updating newer firmware here

Excellent!
Thanks for your quick reply!
Sounds like you have the freedom to do all around upside down: go "illegal", go back to legal, but there seem to be more for me to understand:
Ok, suppose I proceed with update via Kies, I loose ROOT and CWM. Then, if I want to put back the root and the CWM, I need to find one compatible and it's not going to be for the same KKA I have right?
1. If your device is rooted then the their is so warranty.
2. Yes.. you will not get updates from Kies. (if you are rooted)
3. You can flash Official ROM and Kernel via PC Odin. (Warranty Revoke)
4. you have to flash Official PDA, PHONE, CSC Via Odin PC.
Then you ll get complete Official warranty. Be careful while flashing. Read everything.
Follow this thread for more details about flashing and follow the instructions.

Doc u too fast..
I don't fully understand this new language, it's a bit confusing.
Anyway, I am now trying to connect Kies and it does not allow it initiated from computer, but from the phone itself, via browser.

If you are rooted the device then you cant update from Kies. Just forget about kies.
if you want update device, download Firmware from above mentioned thread and extract it.
you should get 3 files.
Download Odin from the same thread.
Open Odin Attach those 3 files as mentioned in thread.
(i.e : PDA= CODE_xxx , PHONE: MODEM_xxx, CSC: CSC_xxx)
UnTick Re-Partition and leave Auto Reset and F.Reset time ticked.
1. turn off your device .
2. Put device in download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power hold it for 3 - 5 seconds.
3. Device will prompt you to press volume up to continue and volume down to cancel. just press volume up then you can see Downloading mode screen.
4. Connect your data cable to device and PC.
now you can see yellow colored block on Odin and shows "Device Added".
5. Click start. Thats it wait until it restarts.
Thanks again, excellent!

Ok now I understand there is a new update XXKKA but it's not available for Mobiles in my country, but it's available in Germany (everytime they have it first).
I will purchase a MicroSD in the next couple of days and back-up my apps and user data, then I will try to flash this latest firmware XXLA4.
I hope I can upgrade firmware with CWM so I can keep my data, my accounts, my apps and settings.
My question is now, my firmware now is XXKKA (my phone says it's the latest), is there any conflict with this latest XXLA4 or maybe kernel issue? I don't know much about these, I am just concerned.

Here one think you should notice that LA4 is an official update for only some regions. it means if the LA4 dint released in your region , Kies wont Support LA4 too even it is an Official.
I suggest you to update to LA3 , any way ICS will be releasing soon for our Note. and Don't bother about Kies update. more over in this ROM you ll get warranty too.
Thanks again man, I guess you will be assisting me at that time

Hello,
I'm currently living in Chile and apparently Chile released the version 4.0.4. I tried updating my android version through kies and the phone updater and no luck :/ My phone is rooted and the kernel is [email protected]#2. I'm not sure if the inability to update is due to the fact I used a kernel from another country other than Chile (I think I used an Indian Kernel). Is there a way I can go back to the my original kernel and unroot to update normally? I also have the urge to unroot my phone since my music player has been crashing too often and feel that the problem originates from the rooting.
Note: I am a very new user and I don't know most, if not all, terms such as flashing.
Help is very much appreciated,
-Kathy
Why don't you directly update it from here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

When you flash a rom using pc odin,u will be unrooted
Download the rom from above given thread and flash it using pc odin,you will be automatically unrooted
U cant possibly update due to a different version of kernel

You don't need PIT files. Just Select rom file under PDA tab. No need to change any option. Just Start Flash.
And it will not erase your data on sdcard (internal or external)
Cheers
You need to backup your contacts,msgs and apps
Hope I am not to late, would be best to make efs backup before proceding, so you can always return to chili working rom. Its a backup of e.g. imei which is not easy to recover if accidentally lost.
How see toolbox thread dr ketan in general section. You need root for that. Save in multiple locations

Hi, I have Galaxy Note GT-N7000, Android version 2.3.6, baseband version N7000XXKK5, kernel version 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKKA-CL726566.
Phone is previously rooted (I doed it after buy) and CWM Manager v3.0. Now I want to upgrade Android version to some newer, but I dont want new or custom ROM, I want to use just this official Samsung upgrade through system menu. Can I do this? Do my phone stay still rooted and still with CWM or I must root it again (or is this possible after upgrade)? What about installed apps and their settings?

Your rooted your device, so the upgrade to newer official version "through system menu" isn't possible.
Save your apps/settings with Titanium Backup, and of course make a complete backup of your system first in recovery.
Then download a stock rom (JB 4.1.2) from sammobile.com for your country. Install it with PC Odin. After that you can root it again with PhilZ kernel (search for his thread in the Development Forum).
At last you can try to restore apps from the TB backup (but I would make a clean install of all apps).

But I understand that this JB 4.1.2 isnt stock rom but instead custom rom. I dont see it in stock roms list. There are all 2.3 versions. I dont trust custom roms and furthermore I cant accept apps reinstall because I have 50 buyed apps, many of them very complex settings like macro programming platforms with lots of programming jobs made by myself. I was understand that I can also revert root to unroot without ROM install. Dont remember but some app allows this unroot operation. And when I make my phone unroot, then I can upgrade through system menu, right?

There are many JB 4.1.2 releases from Samsung for a lot of countries.
If you can't "accept" reinstalling your apps: stay on your version.
Unrooting might give you the update but: the risk that you'll loose your very complex settings when upgrading from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2 is high.
I repeat: make a nandroid and make backups of your apps and settings with TB. Then you can simply try whatever you want.

Thanx......, I have already TB installed and I make regular backups and also CWM backups. Is there some links to JB4.1.2 official stock ROMs? Which method is better then - put this new stock ROM and root phone OR unroot, upgrade officially and again root? Are those operations safe? I mean, can I in any time restore previous state of phone with CWM? I only made backups with CWM but never tried restoring.
I gave answers or infos to all of these questions in my first post.

Sorry, but that's not true. If you can't find the N7000 firmwares on this website I think it might be better to stay with your unchanged device. And if your country (whatever it is) isn't listed then maybe as a Rom for the region (example SEA roms).
