[Q] Has froyo been released for T-Mobile UK users??? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.

Yes it has.

He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Denmark

Hello,
I have my Samsung Galaxy S for 3 days and I bought it from Elgiganten (Denmark), and I think it has something to do with TDC, because I found one icon with TDC on my menu. (the phone is bought without contract for any carrier...I use prepay BiBoB SIM). The problem is that when I connect the phone to computer I can't do any update. Is there a problem with the software or there is really no update for it?
Thank you in advance for understanding and for any suggestion.
You need to make sure you have the latest Kies update for firmware updates to become visible.
I already have the latest Kies version ( 1.5.3.10103_100), and still no available firmware update....
Is there anyone from Denmark that made an update to the firmware using Kies?
Thx for the reply!

Chances are, if Kies is recognizing the phone okay, and your phone is going into Samsung Kies "mode" when you plug it into the computer.. and the fact you just got it 3 days ago i would suspect there is no updates at this time.... even if others from Denmark have got updates in the past... your unit probably already has the latest and greatest considering how new it is!!!.
There is a thread floating around here somewhere listing all the most up to date firmwares per Country.. do a search... you'll find it i'm sure..
Currently there is no updates for TDC product code.
Thats because the official 2.2 update will be out soon.
TDC is the product code of a branded phone, the unbranded Danish variant would be with XEE product code.
This means more waiting from my side
Thank you all for the replies!

Official FROYO announced by SFR

Hi,
I found this :
http://www.frandroid.com/51647/sfr-presentation-du-calendrier-des-mises-a-jour-des-androphones/
Basicly, it's a listing of every phones SFR (french vodafone) is going to update with dates.
Here's the thing :
Thanks FrAndroid for the news.
PS: it's written "(est.)" which is the short for estimation, just to be clear.
PS2: that means a stable froyo SenseUI rom in a near future
Thanks Sympnotic, but i'm more excited about gingerbread!
Thanks Sympnotic. Some light on Froyo tunnel for Wildfire !
http://www.frandroid.com/51788/htc-...ndroid-froyo-2-2-est-en-cours-de-deploiement/
SFR released the legend 2.2 OTA update, it was planned for the 17th december, we're only the 9.
I'll do *#*#checkin#*#* to see if something appears for our wildfires
edit: I might have been too excited but Legend had their updates one month ago, didn't read 17/11 but 17/12 as I don't see the point to include an already released update on a Roadmap.
Vodafone (NL) updated their Legends already 15/11, the unbranded phones are updating now. So 17/11 is the right date.
But that means that vodafone will give the update in about 4 days, and HTC maybe in less than 2 weeks?
Because they're busy with Legend right now.
I hope so

Yep, I know but thanks for pointing it out here.
Well, if SFR release the update before HTC, it would be easy to grab just the SFR rom, purge it from their bloatwares (sfr wifi / tv / account - apps) and add more languages to make it a WWE rom.
The Wildfire from a friend of mine has recieved an update today.

How do the updates work? Does your phone do it automatically? are you notified first?
I'm on 3 in the UK
Edit: But it's a Vodafone Wildfire which I had unlocked (if that makes a difference).

You can either reflash your phone with a RUU from Shipped roms (must have HTC Synch installed to use RUU's) or you could wait for Danne_jo to release a UK version of Froyo (as we all know he'll be the first(he he))

U need to make goldcard
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
you cant put lower software over higher even with goldcard. you need downgrade you system to lower or same as you want. and it is wrong topic
thanks for the info, though... I believe they are releasing 2.2.1 for wildfire? Since modaco and cyangen have somehow picked up a leaked froyo for wildfire.

Not cyanogen, they work on raw code released by Google. Hence cm is way different from other repackaged roms.

[Q] ICS update not avaiable through Kies?

Hey everyone, just wondering if the update for the note through Kies is also regien dependent?
I'm US based and OTA update is not available so I tried using Kies but when I connect my note to the computer, it is still saying that my current fw is the lates (which is still GB2.3.6).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Yup, my note is the international one. It's just that I'm based here in the US but I bought my note through Amazon. I'm not sure though where my note originally came from though...is there anyway to find out? Sorry for being such a noob, this is actually my first android phone.
Ok I looked underneath the battery, it only says Made by Samsung. I have the blue international (says in the box) but really, it looks black to me though a it does have a shade of blue to it. ^^
I have the ics update available via kies right now, although I'm scared top hit update since kies bricked my vibrant. My GNote came from Germany....think I should update? Or wait for the ota?
Hmm..if it's official via kies, it should be pretty safe. =)
If ever, I would think OTA updating would carry almosts the same risks updating via Kies would since you are updating to an official fw anyway.
Happy that you have it since you have a german made note, im hoping that the asian made ones (korea/china) would get released soon as well!
I caved in, I updated....couldn't wait for the ota So far, I love it! Running very smooth. It was a little laggy at first, so I did a factory reset and it's been perfect since. No issues. My quadrant seemed to drop though, don't know what that's all about.
I did read Germany GNotes are first, but I'm sure yours will be soon
Wow, glad you had no trouble updating! Enjoy ICS! =)
Thank you! Yeah I was super worried because I updated my vibrant to 2.2 on kies in December and it stopped in the middle of installing the update....it killed my vibrant But it looks like they completely redid kies, it's much nicer now. You're next Seraph

Well, I'll be reading all about ICS here while waiting for it to arrive to this area of the world.

Can I flash the new DBT-Release from Germany on my ATO-Note? Or do I get in trouble with the product code? I read that there is a chance to loose the IMEI if the product codes do not match...

Lollipop due on S4 active March-April 2015

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/andro...dule-samsung-htc-sony-motorola-manufacturers/
Google announced the Android 5.0 Lollipop a couple of days back and we’re already hearing news from various Android manufacturer partners for their Android 5.0 Lollipop update schedule. Major companies like HTC and Motorola announced their update plans right after a few hours of Google’s announcement, while Sony took a day to announce its update plans.
Just to be clear, the source article states that Samsung has NOT announced any plans to update to Lollipop, and the article goes on to speculate what those dates might be "based on past update cycles". So any of the dates are nothing more than pure guesses anyway. And the "date" given for the S4 Active would be a guess for the non-branded version supplied directly by Samsung. Anything that might or might not come for an AT&T version would come many months later, if at all. Just to be clear. Personally, while it would be fantastic to get Lollipop, I'm not holding my breath...
^_^
didn't get my kitkat update yet and you guys are talking about lolipop .... how sad am i !?
same here no update still on 4.2
I don't know about ota update, but people use official kitkat around 6 months. Install update via odin and job is done.

You can install the kitkat update from any country it will work I did it as I know that my country will be listed
How to upgrade
Yeah! Can you tell us how you upgrade? Cause I cant upgrade to KK yet, and Lolipop i almot here?...
You should download the firmware from sammobile and it will explain you how to do it

Lollipop has been available for the international model (i9295) for months, it's called Cyanogenmod 12. The only people in this forum unable to use lollipop are those with the U.S. model (i537). Along with the fact that the title of that thread you linked to has the actual model number in its title (and the firmware build number does too), I'm not entirely sure what rebuttal you just failed to articulate, but I'd wager it's inaccurate.

Firstly, this thread never implied its about the us variant i537, so his rebuttal was very accurate.
Secondly, The official Lollipop release only came a couple of days ago for the i9295, which is clearly what the OP of the thread begun talking about. Many people in this forum were unable to use lollipop as not many people count a port of Cyanogenmod stable enough to use daily.
Hope that helps you understand this thread better =)
any danger from manual update?
Hi friends. Sure most of you knows about the official 5.0.1 update for S4active which released for nordic countries on sammobile.
I am sill on 4.2.2 in Saudi arabia. My question is : should i update manually to kitkat firstly befor i install lollipop? And is there any dangers for updating my phone to this European update?

I have an unlocked AT&T GS4 Active that I'm currently using through MetroPCS. I still have an AT&T sim card. If I put the AT&T sim card back in the phone, would I have the ability to get the Android 5.0 update? I assume the answer is No as the AT&T sim is not provisioned, but would the sim allow me to get the update over the air? Do all carriers look at the make, model, build # and carrier of all devices to make sure the phone is compatible? I'm assuming if this doesn't work, rooting is the only way. Also, since I have service through MetroPCS, will they update to Lollipop once available or does my model number, SGH-i537, make them think I have AT&T ( and will not update software for the phone )?
Does having an unlocked phone prevent software updates specifically when the phone was made for one carrier only ( AT&T Active )?
Will MetroPCS automatically push software updates to all their customers or to just those that have an approved device from Metro?

You need to have an active AT&T sim card to get the update automatically. MetroPCS nor any other carrier will never provide updates to an AT&T phone. This is similar to asking if Honda will upgrade the engine of your Ford truck, it's never going to happen. Your only option is to update the phone manually using the guides provided in this forum.

Trying to update Galaxy Note 9 to Android 10

I bought a new Galaxy Note 9 online about a month ago (which I'm slowly starting to regret because of this issue), and I'm trying to upgrade it to Android 10. However, the Model Number and the Baseband version says SM-N960F/DS and N960NKOU3ASG1. After searching online for a while, I found a forum post from here two months that talks about my exact problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/help-android-10-update-note-9-t4047729 which basically says to flash the firmware via Odin.
However, I'm having some doubts of whether it is the correct firmware of not, though this could be due to having problems with Sammobile for a long time. When I talked with one of the admins of Sammobile, he said that my phone has a "Custom ROM"/"Modded firmware" and to ask "the procedures on XDA where you downloaded the Custom Rom from "Ketan"... " This is the forum discussion I had with him, along with images of my phone showing the software info: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/45917-download-link-for-firmware-not-working
If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it

It flashed with a custom rom. I have seen so many F versions with this issue. You should be able to factory reset then use Phone Info app. Do a refurbishment check with the app and also check what firmware. Find out what model and region..get the firmware and flash with odin. Whenever I have purchased a device off line I always ask seller to send a pic of the software screen.

I'll do the factory reset tomorrow, its getting late in my time, and I have to sleep early cause I work as retail morning shift.
The app that you're talking about is Phone Info, made by uax.io correct? The phone I'm sure is brand new because I remember discussing it with my sister and talking about just getting a brand new phone and not wanting to deal with returning it due to the current pandemic situation. The big problem I seem to have is that I'm not sure exactly what firmware I should use, since the Sammobile admin said my phone is using a mix.
