[Q] Where is Samsung Official Froyo 2.2 Rom

Someone needs to put all these posts in order! and first of all establish a filing system! tags(well who puts tags?? maybe forced tick boxes) or brackets or something that will make it easier to find stuff!
That being said, can someone please point me to the official froyo for galaxy s? I cannot make kies work for some reason and I need to do it manually.
I have froyo but is either ****ed up, or beta, or something, cause it crashes like hell! Baseband version is I9000xxJP2
While you are at it, a guide on what is JPM, JP2, JP♥, etc is would be nice!
Thanks!
EDIT: I found one guide for installing 2.2 on the galaxy here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
Also try this website: http://www.samfirmware.com which has all the "official" firmware for Galaxy.
Still it would be nice to know about all the JP*versions...

There is no official froyo as yet. JPM and JP6 were briefly released earlier this month but they are by no means complete and still seem to have a number of issues. Samsung said that a new super fast official froyo release will be with us sometime in November. If you're brave enough you can try one of the releases available, I did recently, but I've gone back to JM1 that was supplied on my phone.
I know its an annoying and long wait but with any luck this will give Samsung the chance to get it right

Oh well, I thought the stuff they put up on their site was the official thing, and everyone is saying that they are rolling out froyo for the past couple of weeks...
it is VERY annoying, especially with all the good modders and coders that are around in xdadevs, and to be honest they prolly can build a froyo version much faster and cleaner than the "official" one....

Umm.. You do realise the modders here mostly take the Samsung code and enhance it right? Modding ROM's is a lot more difficult then writing/maintaining them (remember, the modders don't touch the drivers).
The situation does suck, but I actually respect many companies which delay releases more than those that don't. Because those that consistently deliver on schedule, often deliver their software with MAJOR issues (issues which may even require hardware to be returned for repair)

You can find here, on my PC:
c:\Users\Developer_007\.android\Froyo

FroYo for unbranded phones should be here early November. For carrier models Samsung have stated by the end of November. All we can do is play the waiting game. It gets delayed, delayed and delayed. Will probably get delayed till November, who knows?

Where you get information about november? Prooflink please!

It was posted on the Samsung Mobile UK twitter page - Link

Out in Japan?
Actually, the recently released Japanese Galaxy S seems to come with froyo...

Not overenthusiastic about Froyo.
Galaxy Tabs was released in Thailand a few weeks ago with official Froyo, played with it. The performance is subpar.

From what I've read there's a possibility the Japanese SGS is running slightly different hardware, has built in TV receiver and something different with the camera too

From Samsung UK on facebook 2 minutes ago
"We know you are all eagerly awaiting the Froyo updates, and we appreciate your patience. The network testing of the Galaxy S Froyo upgrade is proceeding according to the schedule we released last week (we expect all UK customers to receive their upgrade by the end of November). We can confirm that the software we’re working on includes a solution to the Froyo Android Market issue which has been widely discussed."

So, another month of waiting. Fantastic.
I'm curious if this will be also the case for the rest of Europe?

They just replied to a customer asking when in November and they said
We're releasing Froyo from the beginning of November and we're expecting all networks to have it by the end of November. The key benefits of Froyo will include Google maps with navigation, as well as improved browser performance.

In Singapore too. Samsung Singapore has said that they are almost done with the froyo 2.2 and it should be release on schedule! =)

Bets on getting froyo by the end of the year

So I am betting we do not get froyo before the end of the year. What I mean is the official release will not be this year. My question is, why is it that most of the other phones that can handle froyo already have had it for months, but Samsung is so behind and can't get it out the door?

Since nothing constructive can come out of this thread, I'll direct you toward a thread on another forum with the same topic being covered:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/229120-froyo-over-under.html

Hmm.. I'm going to still say before Christmas.
As it is now Samsung Epic has the official Froyo build from Samsung. So... one can only hope.

This thread is a waste:
1. Samsung still says by the End of Year we will have Froyo. They never said we would have it earlier - only the international i9000 was specified as November
2. Epic got a leaked release - it is not official Froyo. It may turn out to be, but there is not official annoucnement from Sprint or Samsung that Froyo has been released for the Epic.
People need to get facts straight. They may not be what anyone wants to hear, but they are the facts.

I thought the same Epic release was hosted on Google's servers so... doesn't that make it official?

Google hosts all kinds of stuff. It could be any one of the Beta builds pushed out to testers OTA.
If it were official, don't you think Samsung and Sprint would be shouting about it?
One web site had this post:
"I don't think this is the real deal.t The only phones that got the OTA were one with a hardware version endind with .4 ,these are test phones. Every production Epic is a .5 phone. You can check your version by looking at (about phone) in the settings menu."
Although it is 2.2.1 - most sites are saying now it is most likely a leaked Dev build.

My 2c is that ATT couldn't really care less if they push out 2.2..so I doubt the Captivate will ever have an official upgrade to froyo..just too expensive in terms of R&D..remember, we're dealing with Ma Bell here-just under a different dress

HTC recently released a ROM update on their site for the AT$T Tilt 2. Info about it was nowhere to be found on the AT$T site. This is a phone that is no longer in production and near the end of its life cycle, but AT$T thought enough of it to release not only an updated ROM with fixes, but with the nicer Sense 2.5 UI instead of the original TF3D 2.1. I think a Froyo update from AT$T for our phones will eventually come.

I'm still shooting for St. Patrick's Day, around the end of Q1.

Prob not.
Remember they have released loads of updates in different countries already and that's what it means I think.
If it was GB they would have updated the spec and there would be much more press coverage via tech sites / their own twitter feeds etc

A V10E has been released in Hong Kong so it's still Froyo.

Ok... I am back to waiting position

very funny

Q1 is is January, February, March and April. If you were expecting ICS already in January then you simply weren't being realistic and the disappointment is all your own fault.

I have one: wait until it is released. OMGSODIFFICULT.

a/ Samsung only announced ICS for both SGS2 and Note for first quarter of the year , they NEVER announced a clear date, all you read about a clear date is speculation by other posters.
b/ CM9 => open source firmware, to be working with note and SGS2 , they need some proprietary drivers for ICS from samsung ( to make it short ), but for now, samsung haven't released the code.
if you ever installed any Linux suite on a computer, it's the same trouble with ATI and nVidia for recent card...

instead of saying "lol samsung" , go code yourself what we are lacking , if you are so great ....

It was 4 months. Galaxy S got Gingerbread in 4 months after Nexus S was launched.
So its about same / slightly quicker this time around.
No fixed date was ever announced by Samsung. It was always Q1 2012. That means they have almost 3 weeks more to deliver on that promise.
You can always buy Nexus if you want fast updates.
HTC too is just starting to roll out ICS updates to just one of its phones, so its not like everyone is already on board ICS. Hell even old nexus s update was halted.
And coming to CM9, they have no obligation at all to anyone. They will release it when its ready. Constructive criticism is welcomed, shouting is not.

Actually Q1 is jan, feb. mar. If we don't get it by the end of march like Samsung said, then that is really bad. ICS was released last year and that was before Galaxy note was released. This is one of the problems with all these android devices.

Another whine thread.

1Q isn't over yet, if you haven't got your precious ICS by 1st April, then you can whine (although we still won't care). Until then, check your sense of entitlement at the door.

Thread closed
We aren't going to be allowing a bunch of whining for months on end until they finally put ICS on the Note.

Samsung updating some Devices TODAY! (not necesseraly 8.9)

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...hing-standing-in-the-way-now-is-your-carrier/
http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-posts-ics-updates-for-tons-of-canadian-devices-20120430/
Samsung Canada has finished porting Ice Cream Sandwich to a whole bunch of devices, which in Samsung press release parlance means they are "eligible" for an upgrade. Does that mean you can hit that "update" button today and start downloading ICS? Well, that's complicated.
First though, the list of devices:
GALAXY S II
GALAXY S II LTE
GALAXY S II LTE HD
GALAXY S II X
GALAXY Note
GALAXY Tab 7.0
GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
GALAXY Tab 8.9
GALAXY Tab 10.1
Now, for the caveats: Sammy says "The upgrade will be available today on select devices in Canada and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter." and "The availability of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers' requirements. For carrier specific details, please visit your nearest carrier retailer." So basically Samsung is saying "We are done, it's up to your carrier." So after the carriers get done testing, poking, and installing bloatware, you'll get your upgrade.
This should be good news for the aforementioned Galaxy owners in other regions too. The software for different regions is about 90% compatible, so your Ice Cream Sandwich updates should be well on their way, too.
The press release isn't exactly clear on exactly who, in Canada, gets Ice Cream Sandwich today and who has to wait. So a question to all our Canadian commenters: What Galaxy device do you have, what carrier are you on, and happens when you mash that update button? Good luck!

Interesting. Well I'm not on any carrier, mine is unlocked... But I am in the UK. You'd think these things would be simultaneous huh?

It looks to me like the P7300, P7310 and LTE versions are all available from retailers in Canada. Who knows which one will come first or if they will come all at the same time.

Hah, clearly I didn't. Doh! I would say that there's still the regional differences causing delays.

i hope netherlands ics come soon!

If it's anything like the SGS2 the SIM free version came out a month after the carrier versions.

thx4de heads up!
this was for SGS2 in usa (central)att, rooted but cwm not working
it d/l'ed the update last nite 5/1 & this morning when i checked, it prompted for a reboot, followed by blue colored font saying updating....
then i went for coffee.. & when i checked the 'about' nfo, it still showed android 2.3.4 gingerbread. & was prompted to wait for 7hrs till i can check it again.
dunno update failed? process 1 of multiple? dunno
Any1else w/ the same problem/status?
for 8.9 still nothing yet.. 3.2 honeycomb

Any news? Did anyone get update for any device off that list?

International Galaxy S 2 devices updated ages ago. International Galaxy Note updating from today.

Yes i would say the update should be in a few weeks. If anything the Note is the most complicated to update due to its unique software, but its also very popular hence the urgency of the update.

I more than once quoted a link from them (Samsung) saying they would focus on their two flagship devices first (GSII and Note) and then the tablets. It makes sense they delayed the updates because the Galaxy Tab 2 will be released next week in the US. You know, they don't want an update stealing thunder from their recently (or about to as of now) released tablet. I think we will see news about new ICS firmwares next month.
