Hey guys, I'm basically new to all of this flashing roms n stuff. I am currently running Firmware 2.2 Baseband Version UCJI6 Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1 Build FROYO.UCJI6. I updated to that with odin3 one click so my phone hasnt been rooted either. Obviously I want to upgrade my phone to a more recent version of 2.2 but am not sure how to go about it. I tried to update the kb1 that was just released by samsung but kies mini will not read my phone. Do I need to flash back to my stock 2.1, if so how do I go about doing that? Can anyone please help me. Id really appreciate it. Thanks!

Yea, you need to go back to 2.1. However, I have no faith in kies what-so-ever. It outright refuses to upgrade my girlfriends stock captivate...

I'm having the same issue... I tried to flash back to stock ROM using ODIN, but it just kept me on JI6 build. Any help?

I just recently switched from iphone to the SGS and yeah its all kinds of awesome. I bought a bell phone, unlocked it and using it with rogers. So i was wondering how the 2.2 update would work, i know its not out yet but does anyone know how the update works? Yep noob to all this.

It will most likely go through kies first then odin users who downloaded the roms. I don't think samsung does over the air updates.

Ah i see. I havent installed kies. So it would be directly from samsung hey? Thanks much for that info!

Samsung push there updates through their Kies program. Once it's released you will also be able to flash through Odin.

Hey there. To answer your question, no. You don't need to upgrade anything before the Froyo version is officially released. Having said that, Samsung seems to have been working behind the scenes to fix quite a few bugs notably the GPS issue. So, it is always a good idea to upgrade to a newer firmware.
Again, upgrading or not really is a very subjective thing. Most people decide what firmware to use based on their application for their phones. If you are happy with the overall performance of the phone, stick to the current version. If you are not, upgrade to the latest version indicated by Kies and that should be it. Your choice really....
Cheers....

kies always shows you the latest firmware available for your device.. so dossent matters if you upgrade to this jh2 firmware or not.. in the future if they release the froyo firmware kies will show you a notification that a latest version of operating system is available...
now talking about you should or shouldnot upgrade to this firmware.....
as skiddhard said it depends on what you think of your current firmware.. but if kies shows you that an upgrade is available that means there might be some changes and improvement in the firmware that is released.. but it may or may not be usefull to you... firstly do you feel a major kind of lag in ur current firmware?? if yes then you should definitely go in for the firmware upgrade because the newer version of 2.1 upgrades are definitely faster than the previous once
Thanks Guys. I ended up updating it, i havent noticed any difference, so thats good in my books *phew* in the future, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

Froyo is not out yet
a lot of fixes included in Froyo
it will be out on KIES when it becomes official, right now still beta
Yesterday I received a new firmware for my Swisscom 3G Galaxy Tab when i launched Kies.
First it asked me to update Kies, then after system reboot, it suddenly asked my if i'ld like to update to the new firmware. Anxious of getting Gingerbread, I chosen yes.
Guess what ...
No Gingerbread but Froyo 2.2.1
GT-P1000
Baseband: P1000XXJMI
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: Froyo XWJMJ
Kies did not give me any further updates after this.
So, still, no GB
Cheers

Gingerbread has started rolling out and you can now update to it via Odin.

Did you read the 1st reply to the OP?!
is there a way not to do a full wipe when installing gingerbread?
I heard that firmware 2.2.1 must be installed before gingerbread can be deployed. So it is probably good that you installed it.
Now if you really want gingerbread today go to the developers section and install the Overcome rom. In its thread you'll find a great guide if followed the installation is very simple.

Same here.
But on my Tab it still says Froyo 2.2, but the kernel is the same, as well the baseband and Build.
I was hoping for GB...

hi,
i am using galaxy s india (Asia) running eclaire which came with the phone. i wanna update it to fryo 2.2.1. but when i connect it kies i get notification for updating to 2.3.3 only.but i dont wanna update it to 2.3.3 as it has serious battery drain problem. being a noob i am afraid in using odin too as my warrenty is over. so is there any way by which i can update to fryo using kies itself.help me
I'm afraid not. Kies will only update you to the latest firmware version that is available.
To be fair, the battery drain in Gingerbread isn't much different than froyo.
The only solution I can think of if you want to protect your warranty is to go to a Samsung service centre and ask them to put froyo on.

Read my sig. If you're having problems, PM me. And btw you need Odin to flash the roms, if you forgot about that.
