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!

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! =)

Hi!
I want to update my Galaxy Tab, bought from Staples, in England. I'll do tomorrow!
I have read the threads here, such as " collection of Gingerbread issues " and also read many threads about updating. I have flashed my Nexus One, but that was good while back.
Does anyone have specific advice when updating via KIES in the UK or have had issues after the upgrade?
I want to take my Tablet on a trip next Wednesday and will be away for more than 2 weeks so a faster, smoother Galaxy Tablet would be a benefit for me!
Any advice much appreciated.
Ofiaich
I've had the tab since november and not yet had one update. It worked out the box and still does.
Kies says its the latest firmware.

Do yourself a favour and update to overcome 2.0.1 with the hermes core
its like having a new tablet. Night and day compared to Froyo
Also unless its changed in the last week, kies will still report your tab as up to date.
I find allShare to be broken in the default CPW firmware (JJ7?). I flashed to the latest XEU version but it wasn't without it's problems. The HIDDEN partition is causing me problems (as it appears to be too small) so I ended up hacking hidden.rfs out of the stock firmware to install it.
My thinking for changing off the CPW one it that when (if?) Gingerbread comes around will we have to wait for Carphone Warehouse to customise it? I'm hoping a generic XEU version comes along sooner.
thanks for your advice naivri
Not sure I am confident enough and will decide about that when I come back from Japan.
InetUID thanks for your post. I am totally confused about Allshare, XEU and hidden partitions, which makes me hesitate even more!
Off to Japan on Wednesday, so I will read more when I return!
Thanks,
Ofiaich

You mean the latest overcome ROM is seen by kies/samsung as official?
I did not experience that when I installed gold. Kies always states that it cannot be updated.

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.
When does this translate into a working camera on the cm9 and galaxian soup ROMs? Lol

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!

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.
Has anyone heard anything new about us officially getting ICS? It is taking forever, i know our ROM's are stable enough without it but i miss the camera
no news yet.
it was supposed to be Q2 as far as i remember but time is running out.
im seriously pissed off at samsung who are being real d*cks about updating devices to ics.
even small sh*tty devices like huawei media pad have had official ics updates and we bought the most expensive tab thinking it would entail good support but so far nothing
basically i've given up waiting. when it comes ill be happy but im not counting the days / holding my breath
Totaly agree!, I am using ROM Stock (3.2) and I gave up about Sammy ICS, I'am waiting a net model with ICS in Brazil, but I feel so sorry because I think we will have no 8.9 new models

For source that has been out since October? Take the Galaxian Soup AOSP and add the camera and touchwiz. Done.
This is an insane wait with so many other tegra 2 devices already having official ICS ROMs

Well Samsung is always late for updates because they always manage to release a new device where there are new android versions coming up. :S
I can understand why they wouldn't want to update, I tried the galaxy tab 2 and it's much smoother and really working very well with ICS considering is the same hardware it just doesn't make sense to update when you can buy the same thing again just for the software update.
Honestly I would even pay some dollars to Samsung if they allow me to update next month.

Well - the P7300 isn't mentioned in there at all :-(
Am I right in assuming that the SGH-i957 and the P7300 are completely different (the custom ROMs would suggest so)

Yeah, but that argument doesn't hold because most of their new devices are still released with Gingerbread. The Galaxy IIIS is actually an exception and not the rule. Go to gsmarena.com and look at all the newly released and announced Samsung phones--most on Gingerbread

Why would you say that? They don't even make an 8.9 Wi-Fi only anymore if what I'm getting on their website is correct. Unless that is you are not talking about the Wi-Fi one.
For Wi-Fi only people there is no new device.
Hi all. Just a quick question. With the latest from sammobile saying Samsung will release 4.4 kitkat to i9305's I was wondering if anyone knows a source to get the firmware. Also is anyone going to develope said firmware on xda for more useful stock based roms.
Just read an article online saying the firmware will roll out end of may/beginning of June.
So will there any developers willing to create stock based roms when this is finally released?
So its still not released yet. Anyone any info as to when its being released?
no info yet...i'm checking daily for 4.4
i check on http://samfirmware.com/
Nothing yet. I fear that even when Samsung release it that possibly each Network provider may need to test/add all their branding to it before it gets rolled out which will add even more time to the release.
Looking forward to it however.
not released yet, i'm also checking daily on sammobile.com
hello everybody
does anyone else get the feeling that samsung are just draging there heals for some reason.
what the reason is, is anyones guess.
its almost like they know that we are waiting for it and they dont want us to get it, because the people on here are doing a better job of creating a firmware than they are and they get paid to do it LMAO ROFL
dont you think it s funny
just my 2 cents
So I read that Samsung have pushed out 4.4 to american phones but still waiting for the international release. The mind boggles as to why this is taking so long!
Damn you Samsung. By the time this gets released I'll have upgraded to the note 4. . . probably.
