can anyone help me, i just bought the Samsung galaxy s, and i was wondering if there was a an update for android. i have 2.1 and i heard there was a 2.2
my phone is Eclair, if thats any help .
It depends on your location and model. If you are with bell in Canada like me they are saying Dec 15th but many european markets already have it.
If you do not want to wait for an official release for your model there are many threads in this forum on using different methods for upgrading unofficially. Just make sure you read the sticky thread on the three button reboot first.

Hi, went to bell store today and looked at couple of Galaxy S phones that were on display. Both of them had JI6 versions of Android 2.1 came home and connected phone to Keis and no update. Has anyone with Bell I9000M managed to get this update yet?

i haven't seen it on kies, or the samfirmware website.
and it said firmware version 2.1?
yep, 2.1 I will go back to the store in few days and take a picture...
Something related to this?
http://twitter.com/galaxyssupport/status/26631148177
will phones that are unlocked on a different network still get this update?
anyone have an i9000m with this on their phone.. would be nice to know is it pda only or modem, pda and csc changes.. and if we can get a copy off of someones phone.
as for that link above i dont think it relates to us .. it relates to the ji6 release for the vibrant that runs on t mobile
Well, the Bell canada's version is also called "Vibrant", don'know if it is related or not...
http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpW...PrsShpWls_Content&wlcs_catalog_item_sku=70269
JI6 for the "Vibrant" from T-Mobile got there (If we beleive samfirmware.com) around september. Twit was sent in october (But then again, delay between release and final might take a while!)
yes i realize there is vibrant in canada but if you follow those tweets every one i followed a link or read had to do with the t-mobile vibrant not ours.
Din't quite see that!
Thanks!
Deeply envious of you lucky people out there with Froyo.
As the title of this posts indicates I'm looking to more knowledgable heads than my self for advice.
Those of us using the Galaxy S on 02 in Ireland are being jerked around by the company with all kinds of unbelievable excuses as to why they won't release the Froyo upgrade ( you should see the anger and frustration on the 02 customer forum from users!).
My phone details are:
Firmware v. 2.1-update 1
Baseband v. I9000xxjf3
Kernel v. 2.6.29
Eclair
I'm currently rooted using 2.1 but need the 2.2 upgrade urgently: can any kind soul tell me is there a working firmware upgrade that I can install that would allow my phone to operate in Ireland ie. one that doesn't rely on the official KIES route?
If I can get this working I can then pass the info onto the other pour souls being lied to on the 02 customer forum.
Thanks people.
Have you even looked on the developers section? Theres a ton of ways to get froyo.

There are many threads on here covering this subject, search for "registry Hack".
All this does is to make Keis think that your phone is a generic european phone and you will get the Froyo update.
Best of luck.
Kies Registry Patcher 1.7.0.0, patch registry on latest Kies
You could use that and flash to the O2 UK Froyo if you liked!
Thanks chaps.
Hadn't seen Ireland specific info on other threads so needed to double-check flashing with uk\european version was ok.
Appreciate your advice.

Hey Guys,
I found this article on the web mentioning that Samsung just released their new Android 2.2.1 for their SGS. Do you think it is also for the Bell version of SGS (I9000M). I am hesitant to upgrade with the Froyo 2.2 that was released before because I see people are having all SD issues and things of that sort. Will this work and if so, will this solve the issues people are having with 2.2?
Here is the source below:
Android 2.2.1
This is the JPU firmware that is floating round the forum and now being used in many of the custom Roms

Wow, I guess this thread is super unimportant because everybody knew this already, lol. But I am not sure if its a new idea that Samsung is using. We'll see if somebody validates this for us.
i have the international I9000 (from israel) and was wondering if the new update thats due to come soon will be international, will all the owners of the galaxy s get it? if so are there any exceptions to this? and on kies i used to have a update section when i had my phone connected but now its gone, anyone knows why?
I'm having the same question regarding SGS-I9003. Anyone?
Eventually when the upgrade is rolled out across the networks .
Its the individual networks that can be slow to upgrade their firmware .
But really only Samsung can answer the question .
jje
thats what im asking
did samsung have some kind of anouncement regarding this?
and about the networks.. i wont be able to get the update from kies anless my provider had the update ready for itself?
did samsung have some kind of anouncement regarding this?
NO No official release yet to the public that is .

same when i connect my phone stock jpy it used to say this version cant be updated. it now has vanished that only means 1 thing official 2.3.3 is coming within the next 3-4 days
Make sure you have the new version of kies. When you click on your phone in the navigation lane on the left, the first tab that opens shows your current firmware and the newest firmware... for now they are the same. However this is the first kies version I have gotten to work in israel. All previous versions refused to see the phone.
Rumor is that gingerbread will roll out to all international users on the 30th... which may be true or not but the fact that kies does NOT show that our israeli galaxys are unable to be updated gives me hope.
In the meantime if you want a good custom mod based on FROYO check out SimplyGalaxy in the android development area. The dev has posted an addon with israeli cscs (Pelephone, orange and Cellcom).

No one will know anything solid until Samsung makes an announcement (which I doubt they will do) or the update starts appearing in Kies.
No doubt if/when this roll out begins someone will very noisily post a FIRST thread, a few dozen posts will go up telling us the version has been released, lots of people will yell at those posters for making multiple posts, then several threads will start tracking it around the globe and the Modders will start to spit out new ROM versions. Rinse and repeat.
For now, the rumor is still that it will hit on the 30th, so we will see on Wednesday, baruch ha'shem.
Okay thanks for the reply, i guess we just have to wait for it to come and hope the rumors are true

Hello All,
I have one noob question!!.. I have a vodafone galaxy tab (Spain) and I had it unlocked (from simlock). My question is that when the official gingerbread comes out and I update, will I loose the unlock?? (as in the case of iOS devices).
pardon me for my ignorance on android os.
thanks in advanceee
Really!!! Noone here has any idea regarding this!!
I am amazed to see no reply..
Really!!! Noone here has any idea regarding this!!
maybe I need some other forums apart from xda..
I havn't gotten the update yet, however, I'm thinking that if you receive your update on-air from vodafone, then simlock would be reactivated. If you update through kies, there's a good chance that your tab will remain open. Just my opinion. Cheers!
Just to confirm from Italy if kies updated only unlocked tabs and not the ones sold by mobile service providers. Just to know if I should wait for the official release or go the overcome route.

If you flash an official samsung rom it will stay unlocked. I don't know about a vodafone.
For your second question I'll suggest you to flash with the italian rom, that's what I did with my french tab.

I've Have my own with vodafone too (unlocked), And I installed the las overcome ROM with gingerbread... It's amazing...
Looking at kies, it says that our tablet can't be upgraded ^^
thanks orion,
I was just being lazy to carefully follow the instructions to flash it myself (fearing to brick it and then post on the Q&A on a bricked tab!!..).
I will try to read the instructions and do it.. can you point out the exact link (as you get a million hits on the subject with google and it becomes hard to choose the right one)
cheers
You'll have to revert back to stock in order to receive an official OTA update. My tab keeps reminding me to update my software but I'm rooted and can't install it. If I do install...it bricks my tab and I have to start all over again using heimdall. Odin to you...
Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap
i.e.. to sum up.. maybe I shall wait a few days/weeks before going the odin route!!
