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! =)

Maybe it is old news already but this is what I saw on a Dutch website and I'm happy: SGS I9000 gets update to Gingerbread!!!!!
You can find the news on Tweakers.net
Can anybody confirm?
Couldn't you use question marks (?) instead of exclamation marks (!) since your asking a question?
To answer you question, Samsung are sending mixed signals much like LG. Samsung are most likely looking at the cost/benefit of upgrading the Galaxy S. Obviously, the Galaxy S is more than capable of running Gingerbread.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/09/samsung-undecided-about-gingerbread-on-galaxy-s-google-says-har/
Any body know when oficial gingerbread relase ?
today is april7
I heard that a quasi-official representative for a PR company that works with Samsung posted a leaked email on their Facebook page last month, which had been translated from Finnish by a Croatian living in Tripoli.
This clearly suggested that Gingerbread would probably be "officially, more or less" released for some Galaxy S i9000 models (the T and the W, but not the B or M or the ultra rare C~ variant, as well as for International models released in landlocked countries) on "around about the twelfth of Neverwas, or 5 days before the fifth full moon in August...give or take a few equinoxes either way".
...IN short, no one knows anything for sure. Just lots of hearsay.
I have the twelfth of never from a reliable sauce .

Coming damn soon to unlocked i9000's... dunno about i9003 which I own, asked sammy india tweeter a/c, didnt reply yet...

Samsung tests in advance of the upgrade is now completely in the final stages, and in the middle of April rolled out the upgrade for mobile that is not linked to specific operators. In mid-May is also the Android 2.3 made available for operator-specific phones.
The upgrade will be available through Samsung's software Samsung Kies.

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.

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.
i have recently bought GT P 7300 INDIA for around 27000 INR well it has a good processor so are there chances that samsung will release official ICS for the tab
And also please suggest me stable ICS rom if any...
Currently m on 3.2
Thanx in Advance
As you are likely aware Samsung has not released ICS for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 as yet. When it will come is unknown, although they are committed to releasing it.
However there are a number of people with ICS ROMs that work extremely well on the 7300, which has wifi and 3G. However, none of the ICS roms have the camera working, front or back. The manufacturer of the camera has not released the software driver to the developer community, so until Samsung releases the official version, or until someone gets a leaked camera driver, you will not have a camera.
I have been using Galaxian AOSP for about a month. It is here:
[AOKP-R29]Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300]
There are a few bugs, mostly with wifi sometimes needed re-setting after coming out of sleep, and also the camera. Other than that, I'm very happy with it.

i have asked the customer service,but they told me no ICS update now and they don't know the date of update
