[Q] FYI + Q Bell Froyo update out on the 10th Dec. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day everyone,
Just letting everyone know that the Bell i9000M Froyo update will be out on Dec. 10th, dunno vers. number though
Notice was sent out to all Bell Stores, document dated Dec. 10th, but it says " out now ".
So check your kies to see if it is out now, otherwise it'll be on the 10th
On that same note, am i the only one who after flashing a rom through Odin, no matter what rom i flash back on the phone, Kies says that this ver. cannot be updated?

Confirmed:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/12/08/b...upgrade-to-os-2-2-froyo-coming-december-10th/

Yeah that's the document that I received a sales rep for Bell

so is it JK4?

Does anyone know if its live now?
or is dec. 10th the date?
edit, also is there a larger document?
There is no upgrade procedure?
Please be OTA....

Update is through Kies, there are links in the documents leading to that
unfortunetly can't check if it's out on Kies now, as stated in my frist post, when i connect my phone no matter what rom (did this since my first flash with ODIN) it says this ver. is not upgradable, i even flashed back JH2 original stock and still same msg.
So if any1 is on stock 2.1 Bell, try odin and let us know.
Thank you.

I'm on stock 2.1 JH2. Not available yet throug Kies.

Still out of the box rom? or did you flash back to jh2?

I ended up getting a brand new in box replacement after my first one died. Haven't flashed the phone since I got it. Out of the box it had the newer JH2 with the updated 3 button recovery bootloader working.

Just upgraded through Keis. My heart stopped when the screen got stuck at the start up screen. I left the phone for about a min and the phone finally loaded

What is the firmware version number of the upgrade??? P

What is the latest stock firmware (uk)

Hi. I have looked around but I'm still confused and want to get it right so I can sit back and wait for froyo to be available through kies officially. At the moment i'm using jg5.
I got JM1, updated via Kies.
JM1.
I got a brand new one at 23th August and the firmware is JM1. But I can not get into download mode with 3 buttons comb.
Thanks guys. Ive gone to samsung firmwares and there are 2 jm1 firmwares, one says its the new one. Which one should I go for to enable me to update through kies in the future? Or will the both work?
JM1 new..

Thanks.
I did the update yesterday without TEST MODE and it gave me Android 2.2.

Just flashed jm1 new and in kies it says that this devices firmware cannot be updated. Is it the wrong one? Thanks

[Q] Latest Kies But Device Version Cannot be Updated

I am only on Firmware Verion XXJF3 and I know that a newer version is avaiable. Yet for some weird reason my Kies application does not recognise this. I thought getting the new version would help and today I got the latest Kies 1.5.3.10103_100 but still no joy :-(
Also my phone was purchased on Orange Contract if this helps
any ideas please?
I think it's because the phone is an Orange contract phone, Samsung have said Froyo has been released but won't be available for contract phone users until about the end of this month.
Hang in there buddy

Thanks for the reply. Im surprised that even the newer version JM1 is not avaiable as opposed to Froy. I would have thought that at least I could update to this version :-(
device's version cannot be updated
Hi,
When I select firmware upgrade from Kies, I get this information:
Model Name: GT-9000
CurrentVersion: PDA:JF3/Phone:JF3
This device's version cannot be updated.
I have done a factory reset to my phone and even unrooted the phone but still i am getting the same error.
I have tried to reinstall Kies as well but no luck.
Did any one find any think on this.

Hi,
I have a question that's related.
If you have an Orange contract phone, but have flashed with a firmware to remove Orange branding, does Kies then think that your phone is non-contract and subsequently update it?
Thanks!

[Q] Which firmware do I get please? just alittle help

Hi guys,
I have used Odin once before when I broke my phone, i have version I9000XXJPK
Can someone please tell me the version i need to download so that i have official 2.2 for UK spec?
There are so many numbers etc im getting lost off.
I have been on samfirmware and I just cant decide which version i need to be official.
My phone currently cant send SMS and ive read thats because of something wrong with the custom FW i have on. (it was like this when i bought it from the shop second hand)
Thanks

Hey there. It can be a bit confusing, but follow the notes on samfirmware and you should be fine. I upgraded from T-Mobile UK's stock firmware (I forget which version) to JPA, via JM4.
I am using JPA now (again, not sure which provider this is, but it seems to be fairly stock), with no problems.
Make sure you check the notes for each ROM (ie, some have an upgrade path, and some do not). You may need to use a different PIT file and partition accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks mate,
All the release dates are old on Samfirmware, the official froyo for the uk wasnt released until November. the latest firmware on samfirmware is October....
Im really confused how i get from my FW to an official newest froyo. Kies wont work for me at all, tried 3 computers now.
Seriously, screw Kies. It wouldn't upgrade my unit (obviously as there was no provider firmware available), so I patched it with the util posted here and it flashed to about 50% then failed, thus bricking my phone in the process.
If you're not bothered about your provider bloaty junk that ships with the phone, you may as well just bite the bullet and flash JPA or JP0 via Odin. I doubt these are UK specific ROMs (as you mention, Froyo was slated for Nov here in the UK) as samfirmware's are all dated Oct 10, but my phone seems just fine- been using it for around 2 weeks now with no hitches.
Best of luck!
How about installing Doc Froyo custom rom?
It is using froyo 2.2

[Q] Need an urgent help...

Hello all,
I recently bought samsung galaxy s i 9000 it was pre loaded with froyo 2.2 and when ever i connect it to kies it gets connected for the first time and then onn if i disconnect it will never get connected unless i restart the phone.. I tried to update the firmware several times and it downloads the files but gets disconnected in between. I badly wanted to change to ginger bread and just loaded with odin.. Now, I started having the real problem its getting stuck most of the times and i had to open the task manager to free the ram.
But the video player is supporting more formats and no problem connecting with kies.. and i used it for sometime. Now while hanging up a call its getting stuck frequently. And once i had to lose most of my balance.
I decided to roll back my firmware to froyo 2.2 but I came to know I might lose the warranty tampering with O.S.. Is that really so?? And I got an asian version of froyo 2.2.1 for march 2011 from one of the threads and I flashed it into my phone. Now, kies is telling that this version cannot be updated. Can some one please suggest me
1) How I can get back my official firmware...which can also support updates in kies.
2) And Is that possible to retain warranty with any firmware?
I had to spend the whole of sunday over this please suggest me...
Thank you

Go to www.samfirmware.com and register. Download the ROM you want. I'm currently using XXJVR (Android 2.3.4). It is quite stable.
Then, use Odin to flash the ROM onto your device. Make sure you backup all your important data. I recommend MyBackupPro. It's available in the Market.
Then, switch off your phone completely and put it in 'Download Mode' (Volume Down + Home + Power). Connect it to your PC. Make sure you have the drivers installed.
Follow the instructions given on the website to flash with Odin. The XXJVR ROM has only 1 tar file. So, you're gonna have to use this procedure--> http://www.samfirmware.com/Odin I9000 2.png
Best of luck! Do let us know how it goes!

My gnote issue

hey all,
i'm new to the forums here at xda-developers but i'm in ire need of some advice/help if you would not mind sharing your experience.
Okay the issue.
I have a galaxy note gt-n7000, it will not update via kies or via the phone itself at all for months. I'm from England and i purchased it on contract from carphone warehouse; some vital information about the phone are as follows:
Android version - 2.3.6
Baseband version - N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-N7000LA6-CL907341 [email protected] #2
Build bumber - GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
CSC - XEU
I have tried several things to fix this such as:
Factory restting everything - the sd card, the phone... No eval.
Attempting to change the CSC to a different one from XEU
Waiting to see if any more updates are as followed
reconnecting/rebotting my phone to ensure the connection is okay to Kies
Another issue of this phone is that it will not download anything from the website such as bus timetable PPFs in which it used to be beforehand, i am completely stumped by it
thanks for your time to read this and hopefully help,
Nozz.
P.S I don't really want to root my phone cause my warranty will void otherwise.
have you updated the kies? use latest version of kies to update it should work.
Since youre factory resetting, i presume you dont care for any data loss... You can go to recovery (turn off phone then press and hold volume up+power+home until the phone turns on) then do the factory reset there... (this is not touch interface.. You have to use volume buttons and the power button to select your option):highfive:
I entrust you to do this since you said youre running 2.3.6 but DONT DO THIS if you manage to get to Ice cream sandwich!!! We can never stop reminding people of this... DONT EVEN DARE to factory reset under settings on a stock Ice cream sandwich n7000..

This method should work if your phone is still a "virgin"

Yeah, according to Kies it is the updated version, and i also updated a galaxy s2 with it to ICS the other day...
Will going into recovery mode then factory resetting it work ?
thanks for your help,
Nozz.
Just factory resetted it, and once again it is coming up with it saying it is not possible tp update Via Kies :/
And Kies is fully updated
Also another thing i forgot to mention, the phone wants an update has it says new firmware is available through downloading from the phone then installing that way, however when i try this, it all goes okay, reboots, comes up with the little andriod symbol then it stops at roughly 20%, reboots and says it was unsuccessful, try updating via samsung kies.
thinking of just getting rid of it, but it's a contract.... Sigh.
nozz.
somebody made a program that you can use instead of KIES, it is called Checkfus.
google for it, or search the forum, i am sure you will find it.

Hi there,
I would suggest not to update more on Kies as Kies sometimes KIES(OTA OR the PC one) is quite not more reliable sometimes, sometimes you can upgrade sometimes you can't.(Just like a woman on her monthly periods )
Anyway, I would you recommend by just flashing it thru PC ODIN. Download your stock ICS software from this page -> www.samfirmware.com and look for the firmware on your region. Flash it and you should be good to go.
:good:
i'm quite new to flashing phones, i've flashed computer motherboard bios, but i can get inside them and change the mobo if it goes wrong however i cannot do that with a phone :/
Which one is safe for my phone, considering it's current build etc?
Advice would be appreciated.
I can't seem to find firmware that is suited for my PDA, CSC and Phone codes... Or will any UK firmware work?
Nozz.

Here you go bud ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of Doc Ketan, of course)
If you narrow down a bit, there's a firmware for UK there(Carphone Warehouse to be exact)
According to CheckFus there is no such ICS update for my specific phone, aka pda/phone/csc.... hmm... and also i can't seem to find any roms for my specific phone either...
I really don't know what to do now
Could someone take alook at my numbers in my first post and help me, as i'm pretty much at the end of my tether with this phone
i'll relist my phones information:
PDA: N7000XXLA6
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000XEULP4
Build Info: Friday, January 20 05:38:08 KST 2012
That build info looks slightly dodgy considering this is supposed to uk phone, and i'm pretty sure UK gingerbread didn't come out at that point... hmmm.. got me thinking.
anyhow
Thanks,
Nozz
