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.

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.

Whoever can help with this I will offer sexual favours to,
I purchased my galaxy s online about 2 months ago. I have a sneaky suspicion that its locked to CarphoneWarehouse but i'm not sure. I have an o2 sim card in but I still cannot upgrade to froyo via kies. A family member has the same phone and got his instore and has just upgraded to froyo and he's with carphonewarehouse on o2. Is there a reason I cannot upgrade mine? I've waited for so long all I want is a bit of Froyo.
Thanks
Also, I tried the kies hack a month ago but it just upgraded me to 2.1 update. I dont know if this unrooted the phone and has made it illegible for the upgrade.
i dunno about the sexual favour so i will try to help u for free. ;-) you can check your version and if it's possible to upgrade it officially by checking the registry or u can bypass all that by just altering the registry and patch a dll.
do you have the latest kies?
is carphonehouse a network or just a seller?(sorry i'm not from england)
if u don't find the topics i will post the links

i've just re-downloaded kies so i will try that but checking the registry to see if i'm able to upgrade sounds good, how do i do that? Then if these both dont work i'll be happy to change the regirst and download the patch,
Thanks for replying.
Nooooo, I still cant through kies. Useless software.
I have an unbranded, unlocked i9000 on vodaphone in the UK, and I had a similar problem after trying to hack the registry to download the Noric version of 2.2 last month. Instead, I got a 'updated' 2.1, and whever I tried using Kies to upgrade, I get the message 'this device cannot be updated', even after hacking the registry again.
The problem, as explained in this article (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series&oldid=10462), seems to be that my copy of Kies is too new. I suspect you might have the problem. Go to the link and download an older version of Kies (1.5.3.10093_82), then with Kies running and your phone connected to the PC, change the registry values to:
LocalVer: 1.5.3.10103.100
SoftwareRevision: I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3
ProductCode: GT-I9000HKDXEU
HIDSWVER: I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3
Close the registry and check for phone firmware upgrade using Kies. It worked for me.
My phone is now:
Model number: GT I9000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000XXJPP
Kernel Verson: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
Build number: Froyo:XXJPO
The registry values are now:
SoftwareRevision: I9000XXJPO/I9000OXAJPO/I9000XXJPP/I9000XXJPO
ProductCode: GT-I9000HKAXEU
HIDSWVER: I9000XXJPO/I9000OXAJPO/I9000XXJPP/I9000XXJPO
Lastly, can anyone tell me if I've got the stock UK rom, and whether GT-I9000HKAXEU is the UK country code, as I cannot find this product code in the database anywhere.

I think I'll give that a miss, thanks all the same. Glad to see its all worked out for you.
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

Thanks all!!
I have a UK T-Mobile unlocked unbranded Galaxy S (Froyo) which reports the following details:
PDA: I90000XXJPO
PHONE/MODEM: I90000XXJPP
CSC: I90000OXAJPO (KOR)
Does this mean that I need to find/use a "I9000XXJP0 version" gingerbread ROM file in order to flash gingerbread? Or could I flash some other Europe version e.g. I9000XWJVB gingerbread ROM?
I was surprised that this question is not covered in the various gingerbread flashing threads that I have read. No doubt I have missed something that will be staring me in the face once someone points it out..
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.
If you don't want to wait for the official update for your phone you can absolutely flash any of the gingerbread roms on this website. Just be sure to read the instructions carefully.
Btw, the gingerbread rom for your phone won't be JP0, that is a froyo rom. They change with every update.

You can flash any firmware buddy no problems, it doesn't have to be country specific. However flashing a country specific modem will most likely have an effect on signal, call.quality etc. Check out doc's thread as I think there is a good guide there.

Thanks guys. Erm so, if you were me, what do you think my best bet is? I'm thinking of flashing what I have found as being the latest offical build of 2.3.3 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Modem on that is XX same as my current firmware. Do I need to care about the CSC or anything else? (FYI I've updated my original post above to give the full CSC)
Cook up a rom in doc's kitchen. You can have a very good stock rom or a really good custom one.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Wow, romkitchen.org looks very interesting. However, it says "Install from a 2.3 ROM" so I guess I would need to upgrade to 2.3 before being able to use it, which is a bit strange as upgrading to 2.3 is all I'm trying to do anyway. And it says it beta, so I think I'm better of using the ROM in my post above?
Yes, you have to flash a stock 2.3 rom first to get the bootloader update. They are all beta version of gingerbread. Even the ones that got pushed out recently aren't as stable as the 2.2.1 roms.
When I go to 2.3 it will be from the kitchen for sure.

OK. Well, this story has a happy ending. I've upgraded to 2.3.3 (XEE version) using a guide that someone in the romkitchen irc channel linked me to.

As it says in the guide, all I needed to do afterwards was reselect my provider via the APN settings (easy peasy, just selected "T Mobile" from a short list of UK providers).
Cheers for this post to all who replied - just got a Galaxy S too and wasn't sure if there were any caveats about flashing to a ROM with a different ID than your current one aside from normal GSM radio band for picking america vs rest of world etc.
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.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
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!!
