Can someone give me a simple answer?
I'm getting a little confused with all those releases, all with codes starting with JP, AFAIK they are beta, not official release codes.
What happened to all that fuss about the official release date, mid November, etc?
We are in December already.
Thanks,
Paulo
The JP versions are official. Why do you think they are not?
Depending on your product code, they have been available via KIES for some time now.
Depends on the region, I'm living in India & I have got an official update via kies. If it shows up on kies than its official dude....
If this Froyo versions we're getting from Kies are the final versions than this is a big shame for Samsung. This ROMs just sucks and they are laggy as hell. The Samsung dev guys should come to XDA foruns and learn about Galaxy S ROMs... What a waste of a good piece of hardware... Shame on you Samsung!

heya fellas
just a small Q regarding Kies and how samsung works with it.
Does every kies update = a new FW release thru kies ? or do the FW updates have no relation to kies updates ?
I just randomly start kies from time to time and check my phones FW for any updates , iv done like a total of 2 kies updates ever since i got the kies software and currently upgrading to version 1.5.3.10093.31 . was wondering with the often so fast FW updates u fellas get in uk/europe , asia and the rest of the world. The middle east / africa hardly got any updates and all i know is ever since the original FW we only got the jpjg8 eclair version as a test FW which i have on my SGS right now and is considered the latest according to samsung. will samsung keep us hanging like with my HD i8910 depending only on custom fw from amazing people like faenil, HyperX who did almost if not all the work for samsung fixing their mistakes
Is that a Middle East specific release? I have v1.5.1.10074_45. Not heard anyone mention yours before.
@mazroui: kies and FW updates are not generally related, but might be a hint for an upcoming FW update.
@Tehpries: the version is new there are already at least two threads about it.

If you look at the times the other threads were started you will see they were begun later than my post.
Well one of them says: Today, 01:09 AM and your post is 14 hours later.
But never mind. My point is that new Kies version does not mean new official FW.
And I also hate the way Kies updates itself. Slow and unreliable. Resulted in an error at the end. As AllGamer said, it's a piece of ... kies
yup, this one came before the other ones
it just got lost in the pile
nope, i tried to upgrade for the same reason
to see if it was coming with the new ROM

thank you for the fast reply fellas, i sure hope we do get the update not so long after the international release if not with it ^_^
well my version 1.5.3.10093.31 i sure dont know how long ago came out since my auto update is off but today morning checked if kies had an update and it did but took way too long to download 68mb's and disconnected every 500kb or so
keeping my eyes on kies on daily basis starting today for any info regarding 2.2 or whatever they throw at us
P.S
no test mode now with this new version of kies T_T and it does a contacts backup before starting the FW check , very annoying >_<
i also have
Eclair - jpjg8 with arabic persain urdu
Could someone please post the download link for the very latest kies version ? Browsing the samsung website is a pain. Google search takes me to samsung site pages but I can't find any kies download link.... Is it just me ?

Since I'd rather not spend time with Odin (kinda chicken!?) I'd rather only update the firmware using what Kies provides...and here is the issue..
The last available firmware through Kies is the 2.2 dating back to october...have any other Norwegian Telenor customers been able to get newer firmwares using Kies...or must I do what so many others do and go for Odin if I'd like the latest versions?
Im returning my sgs due to the faulty gps and exchange support.
I have a nordic generic sgs. And the latest fw is the onw from october. Were told by a samsung rep that a new release were due at xmas. But havent seen it yet. If you are going to flash through odin. I would recommend Darkys ROM.

Last I heard, from a swedish forum, was that the nordic version will be released before march.
So we should expect it in january-february.
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

Hi guys put my phone on kies today and a new firmware version is ready to download came up..
i thought yes i have somehow got gingerbread..
when it completed it says froyo 2.2.1 firmware version what the hell is this??
My phone is in the UK on Three network i900nejs2
there are many versions of 2.2.1 maybe you just got a newer version.
there is a way to spoof kies into making you get the very latest release. or you could just flash gingerbread yourself through Odin.
or try one of the many many custom GB ROMs
how do i spoof?
and does it matter that my phone is network locked to three?
can i debrand it or watever?
Simple answer its 3 Uk latest update to 2.2 .1 comes after Froyo 2.2 .
Some put it out others have been very late .
jje
We will be seeing parallel versions of 2.2.1 and 2.3 for quite a while....get used to it. Not all carriers will be so anxious to send out gb to the masses, and many are still on 2.2.
Remember we may be champing at the bit for gingerbread, but likely the reaction of John and Judy Averageuser will be "Dammit....ANOTHER update!!!???"

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!!
