[Q] Software Updates?

Hi,
I was playing with ROM flashing and the like and I decided to go back to stock, so I did using the ODIN flash to JF6. However, it seems that I have trouble getting the JF7 update over the air to work. Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm a Noob, but you might try Kies - It should detect a newer version available and let you update that way. Much more reliable in any case if you ask me.
You can do search flashing to stock JH7 that should help you. If no one else has sent you a link by the time I get to my computer I'll send you a link I think it will be flashing 1010 build or something like that.

I've had more problems with kies than anything else, try the samsung website to update.
I see you was wanting JF7, I don't know what the difference is but this will get you back to stock JH7 Eclair.

I tried it, it works.
Well I want JH7, but I also want to be able to get the official Froyo when or if it comes out.

Alright thanks for all your help, Mini Kies did the trick.

oh this is simple. go to development thread and you should find a bunch of choices of Kernels. They mostly have Odin for you to download, then u can use Odin to flash a custom Kernel over your stock one. Then go to recovery and go to the advance options and Root your phone fromt here. All new Kernels are pretty awesome cuz they will root your phone for you and insteall superuser + busybox.

here's the easiest way to root your SGS..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
just make sure you follow the instructions:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode
The easiest way to root+lagfix (especially if you're newer to this sort of stuff) is to install Voodoo.
It will automatically lag-fix your Galaxy S and then all you do is install "superuser" from the market and you've got root. Nice and simple.

Another option is to go to samfirmware.com and using ODIN instal I9000XWJS5. Full instructions are on site. The advantage of this is you get a good stable ROM, smoothness, fast, better battery life and there is no need for a lagfix - much safer.
Enjoy your SGS.
i downloaded z4root and get a little bit confuse of the temporary and permanent root can anyone explain me whats the difference thanks.

It means that your computer must have the correct drivers for you Galaxy S. You'll be connecting the phone to your computer, the computer needs drivers to recognize the phone.
Just install Samsung Kies, all the needed drivers will be installed as well.

Your best and easiest bet would probably be to install the Spedmod kernel, or a custom Tom. Realty all you have to do is go to the developement section.

Your device must be rooted to do that.
Please.. Don't just try anything without a thorough read. You might end up bricking your device.
First of all, I am not a fan of Lag fixes, some lag fix users had lost their internal memory because of it and if you use it you'll only have 600mb internal memory.
I suggest you to upgrade to a stock Froyo 2.2.1. It is faster than 2.2 and almost on par with LagFixed SGS. I'm currently using Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY and it is very stable.

Currently all froyo 2.2.1 is only for Europe Galaxy S. I installed mine via Kies Registry Hack. You can also install it using Odin.

I'm sorry but the kies registry hacking is no longer working, Samsung already blocked the kies versions 1.5.3.10103.102 and lower. Here's the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
Your only option now is to wait for the official release on your country or Flash 2.2.1 via Odin, remember to backup before doing it coz it'll erase all your data.

2 things you can do:
1, Spoof Kies into giving you latest update
2, Flash latest update yourself through Odin. (i prefer this)
Thanks.
But how do that, is there a link i can go to.
What version is your Kies?
Its new one from Samsung 2.0.0.11032_12 if this helps.

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 Official Roms

Hi guys, i'm looking for the official rom for Samsung galaxy S I9000, my carriere is Bell Canada, I don't really care what version it is I'm gonna update it to the latest version using Kies.
You can download from samfirmware
I have been looking for a rom and a tutorial for 4 hour, tried 2 but kies keep telling me that my phone can`t b upgraded by kies. If anyone has a working tutorial For SGS I9000 (Bell CA) please tell me

Before any rom upgrade (out of kies) you must be operator free... Well, that's what I understood when I first flashed my SGS1.
You shouldn't stick with stock roms (my opinion), custom roms, in my experience ( which it's not much ahah) are always better because it's made by costumers that want their phone with their full power without restritions. Well, at first I was like you, a bit apreensive, now I have Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3) and I dont want to go back! Its awsome. But you should read a bit more about everything.
Try reinstall kies, maybe there is a new version or your phone is in the latest firmware...

I think better you try to use Odin rather than using Kies to flash the rom.it more user friendly and straight forward.
The only official gingerbread version for Bell Canada is UGKG3 (2.3.3) that came out in the summer of 2011.
If Kies says your phone can't be updated, you must have quite an old version of Android installed.
Well i am with ICS 4.0.3 but i really wanted to go back with official roms to get update via kies to try something with Bell TV, but that just optional, i tried some roms, but kies was not detecting em. so i went back to ICS (but it's really unstable imo)

Since you've already gone to ICS, you may as well just download the UGKG3 ROM and flash that with Odin and forget about Kies.
If you want Kies to get you to a Bell ROM, you'd have to go back to Bell's Froyo release (again using Odin) and then let Kies update that to UGKG3.

[Q] Is there a way to root Sprint Tab on gingerbread 2.3.4 yet?

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to root the samsung galaxy tab since it's last update to Gingerbread 2.3.4?
I Only use the WiFi connection so don't care if its verizon root method.
I search for few hours and tried SuperOneClick a few ways already, but nothing has worked so far.
Would installing any rooted rom with Odin work. If you have tried it please let me know.
Does the Samsung Galaxy Tab SPH-P100 NAND lock with the last update?
If you have tried rooting android 2.3.4 please let me know.
Thanks.
Try putting tab in download mode (on/off plus volume up together).. I managed to root by doing this with oneclick.
Super One Click will not work for the Sprint Galaxy Tab on 2.3.4. There is a pre-rooted Rom you can flash through Odin. It's been around since the 2.3.4 update was released and works very well. You can find it here. Good Luck!

I had tried that previously and it's a no go on the 2.3.4 on the sprint tablet.
Thanks for the advice.

Since this would install all fresh rom it would delete all my application data for the games my wife and kids are playing. Is there a way back this data on a non rooted tab? once I do this I will try the Odin method.
Thanks.
The root worked great. I thought all my apps would be gone but not true, It kept all apps intact and their current status.
