Leaked 2.2 for International Galaxy S

It seems a leaked Android 2.2 update was released for the International Galaxy S. It is NOT compatrible with our US models, but I figured Id post it for those who want to look at getting it to work on our US versions.

Just checked this out.. Looks fairly promising, basically requires a regedit to get it to download the file.. hopefully i can see what it will do for the Vibrant.

looks legit, but man they were about to lynch the OP for a while there in that thread haha, I guess it's only a matter of time now...

crossing my fingers that T-mobile will do a fast job on getting the update ready for us to

Some information of this froyo:

Yep, almost certainly going to be like the first froyo leak all over again, lol.
So FYI, for those who don't know, flashing the previous froyo leak via odin, and then trying to flash back to stock JFD, was the only confirmed way to truly brick a vibrant, so PLEASE don't do anything unless you know 100% what you're doing.
This likely isn't like eugene's version of the previous froyo leak yet, and will probably flash the baseband, which is probably still irreversible (that's the part that caused bricks when trying to revert.)

Samsung pulled the latest update (that was available via KIES)?

So I read about the update while at college. Came home, backed up my phone, and opened KIES to grab the update (I have used KIES previously for wired tethering, so everything was setup already.) Unfortunately, I got this message:
Model Name: SGH-T959
Current Version: PDA:JFD / PHONE:JFD
The device's version cannot be updated.
I called Samsung Tech support and they told me "There is no software available for Samsung Vibrant. If you download KIES it won't even work for your phone. Any update will be pushed OTA."
Beside the idiotic response of how KIES won't even work for my phone (yes I know it isn't "officially" released for USA phone but that doesn't mean it won't work...), it seems like Samsung has pulled the firmware update. Maybe someone accidentally flipped the switch a bit early?

Okay, although Samsung has pulled the update from Kies, the update itself is still available from http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_...T959TMBJI5_T959UVJI5_T959UVJI5_UV_TMB.zip.enc.
Download it and flash with Odin.

You really thought this deserved its own thread?

I went to publix and bought some eggs. Should I make a new thread?

Thanks. This is helpful if it works. It didn't work for my via kies so odin should work for me if its a tar file. And whoever asked did this deserve its own thread, id say yes because it obviously helped me out. Thank you

You need to use Stuffit to unzip it first. Search for a program that unzips .enc files.

Thanks for posting. This did need a new thread. Ignore the want to be forum police for they obviously have a miserable existence.

How would I flash that file if i have a Mac?

Old Kies vs. Upgraded Kies
I downgraded Kies to 1.5.1 (i believe) and upgrade magically appeared when running 1.5.3 no upgrade so I dont know if sammy pulled it or not. BTW I prefer egg beaters.

No this doesnt need a new thread, as almost everyone who tried the JI5 update said it was nothing special, and THERE ALREADY IS A THREAD FOR THIS UPDATE lol. The fact that Samsung pulled it also states something. If you want to flash a bad firmware, feel free this doesnt need to be here in its own thread.

I can imagine why, so many people.called samsung, maybe thats why it got removed

Android 2.2.1 or just 2.2?

So what is up with the additional zImage?

I think its 2.2 if I'm not mistaken.

Ignore it... my bad (I'm so not having my day ...)

Can I assume that since there has not been an "Official" OTA release, that nothing has ever been "Official" and that the release via kies can differentiate from an OTA ?

is the gps any better with this modem

Aww, I thought we finally had a 2.2.1 rom made just for us.

I don't think anyone has gotten a truly official OTA yet. This has to be another leak.. same as the kies update.
Who knows what they change in these leaks... besides adding sbl .... that could possibly brick ya ****!

[Q] Froyo (2.2) original ROM for Captivate

Hello,
I live in Georgia and have rooted, unlocked AT&T Captivate (ECLAIR 2.1 update1), so when I push the update button the loading bar just cycles for hours and never does anything (because AT&T is not available for my country).
So I was wondering if someone could give the original froyo ROM for captivate. I just want to upgrade my software, nothing more.
Some advice would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gio

Here you go: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702
But this is not a direct update, so you will lose your settings + apps unless if you back it up beforehand.

Thank you very much you seem to be answering every single question I have )

Is that flashable via ODIN, recovery mode, or some other way?

I'm just trying to do it ATM..
How do I use it again?

if not, its easily bypassed by using i9000 kernel + modem. JI6 will affect him the same way though.

When he said he's in Georgia, he didn't mean the U.S. state. Think Ukraine.

I wasn't sure if there was an original 2.2 original stock out as a ONE-CLICK.

yeah i know. doesnt matter though. JI6 and KB1 are both actual captivate roms and as such run the crappy captivate modems. doesnt matter where in the world the OP is, if they cant run the actual captivate modem, i9000 will work.

Interesting. I was under the impression that European phones use different frequencies and that while U.S. world phones support them, they aren't the same as the primary frequencies used here. Hence, using a U.S. phone ROM on a European phone would put it at a disadvantage with a European carrier.

ETA on root?

I was just curious as to how long the root may take for the v20c thrill? I apologize for asking, as I'm sure it is being worked on, just curious if anybody has found any leads yet...

I was testing V20C against V21A, and they run the same. However, V21A doesn't have any bloatware.

Ehh yeah I figured lol, I don't know if you're the right guy to ask, but when I try to flash the V21A, I follow the steps outlined, and when the LGMobile Support Tool opens up, it says "Your cell phone is the latest version already, so you do not need to upate." Any ideas?

Did you do the part with the server and hosts file? If not, that's why.

Dark,if the 20c runs similar to 21a,does is mean that the 21b is better 20c?
