I am having trouble updating to Gingerbread using KIES I currently have installed FROYO 2.2. but Whenever I plug in my device I get a not supported message 2.0 error. I have also tried rooting the phone but I am not able to continue.
Can anyone help?
Don't use kies; use odin. If you don't repartition you will keep your apps/settings. Your results will be exactly the same as if you upgraded via kies.
no repartition, no cwm cache/factory reset = battery drains, fc, soft reboots and so

Not necessarily. I went from KC1 to KG3 on my wife's phone and she has absolutely no issues. However I wouldn't go from KC1 to JVR without a factory reset. It all depends the source/destination.
yes necessarily

Explain. What mechanisms are at work to cause such problems? The only logical explanation would be left over app data from previous system apks. But my experience has shown that this is not an issue.
What do you think kies does differently to allow upgrading without wiping?
infact thats the source of most if not all problems (left over app data from previous system apks)
kies update is not the same as odin update or cwm update

Fair enough. My original point holds. My wife has not had a single issue since upgrading via odin.
so the package was well prepared new files overwrited old ones and app data was wiped

It was the official kg3 downloaded using check fus downloader. Either way it doesn't matter; one can try without wiping and if problems occur, just do a hard reset. Simple enough.
I put Milkys MOD on my phone, and used Kies for my daughter's, Kies goes straight on, no problem, all apps and contacts as they were, a good, safe way to upgrade.
We live in OZ, but I changed my daughter's region to EU so she wouldn't end up with the pages of Optus crap, and only 2.3.3, Kies gave her 2.3.4 JVQ.

Hi all,
I bought a second hand SGS and it has 2.2 froyo
How can i put it back to normal 2.1 android please?
i dont want root or anything...
can any1 help? ill put a few quid in your paypal if you can take the time to guide me through it?
Well, you could always just goto settings and initiate a factory reset... You'll lose root and revert back to the stock eclair 2.1 ROM.
where is that option?
i found sd card and phone storage and
internal sd card format option
i notice another option in privacy that says factory data reset. but that looks like it might be just personal data reset not full reset thingy,
if what your saying works i will be very happy!

Think about this for a second....a factory reset is somehow magically going to pull stock 2.1 out of .....where exactly?
the OP is going to have to Odin back to stock....plenty of info here on how to do this....
what is Odin?
the search functions are down at the moment so i cant search the forums
Maybe you can help mate? please!

Why else would it be called FACTORY reset ? It would be the firmware provided with the phone, which would be eclair as opposed to the froyo build he received on a rooted second hand phone.
The option is in settings-> privacy-> factory data reset
You can't get Froyo without flash to a froyo ' factory' firmware. In this case, A beta firmware. Whenever you flash to a new firmware, you lost your old firmware completely.

1. Download odin,
2. Download the needed firmware files from Samsung firmwares,
3. Phone off. Vol down, menu, power
4. Add pit512/513 (can't remember which), pda, modem, csc in odin
5. Tick re-partition
6. Connect phone to pc
7. Click start and wait for your phone to restart
All done, This is just a quick and rough guide how to do it, there's a much better guide on this forum what to do and how
do you kno where the firmware files are exactly? i cant search the forums for the guide.. search function is down.
A quick look and you'll find 'forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596'
For firmwares, a quick Google 'samfirmware' you'll need to sign up to access the files in the firmware section That's if there not in the above link
the first one you must to do is download the firmware file through the internet,
then download the drives and odin and pit512 file,
and then install the drives ,then run the odin,select the re-partition,in pit,select the pit512,in pda,select the firmware which named with pda,in modem and csc is also select the firmware named with modem and csc,
shut down your phone then press vol- ,home ,power at the same time,you will see a android ,
connect your phone with the pc,
when the com is turn green ,press start.and wait..after you flash the firmware,you should format the sdcard and wipe your data..
thanks guys
i think ive sorted it, but still seem rooted somehow
is this the right firmware?
2.1-update1
basedband version I9000XXJM4
Kernel version
[email protected]#
Build number
ECLAIR.XWJM8
If thats all good! then thanks very much guys.. but root still looks iffy to me.
will this stop me from receiving updates from samsung? ie propper froyo when its out.
damn i just read that i think i should have used the 803pit and not the 512. is that right?

You can get the firmware here http://www.samfirmware.com/home.htm
Depending on what country you are in, there are diferent firmwares.
Download odin from that page aswell.
They also have a how to guide on how to flash with odin.
From my understanding you won't be getting Froyo OTA, you will be getting it via KIES. But with all the modding going on I doubt KIES will let you so you like everyone else here will have to get it installed via ODIN, no big deal at all . Just check back xda when froyo is in news for sgs

Will this also be applicable to me ? I have only rooted my phone. It's unrooted now... And I've not deviated from the stock firmware.
I advice you to check if the 3 Button Combo works on your Phone. If not, apply the 3 Button SBL Fix before messing with ROMs to help recover the device in case of a brick.
But it does NOT say to which FW it will upgrade.
It just says "Firmware Upgrade Notification" and a bunch of warnings about data loss.
Can't I see which new FW is available anymore?
Or can I just click Upgrade and another screen with FW information and further confirmation will pop up?
Thanks,
Paulo
Solved....
Had the guts to click "Upgrade" and another screen pops with further confirmation.
Now I'm totally confused.
It offered me to upgrade to JM2.
I thought that JM2 was a test release, isn't it????
I thought that official versions always followed the pattern JF, JG, JH.... but never JM or JP.
Can someone give some light?
Thanks
JM2 is not a test release. My German unbranded Galaxy S came with JM2.

are you sure you're not in test mode on kies?
or you've probably forgetten about the hostfiles trick previously ;p
Can confirm that Froyo (2.2) is available here in Denmark through Kies. Upgrade went without problems.
Hopefully this will fix issues with connecting to certain wifi routers...
Froyo also available in Norway trough Kies. Not test mode.
But seem to be missing Android Market... Anyone else got that problem?
Android Market also missing here in Denmark. AppBrain App Market reports that Market is not installed. I hope they fix this soon :/
try wipe, it should work
Wipe did work. But lost all apps and data...
Can anyone confirm that a wipe will bring back the marked?

Froyo??? Which version? JP6?
nCoder said:

Click to expand...

Yes the "new" froyo from Kies (JPM).
Will try to wipe, just updated mine.
Market will return if you do a Factory Reset of the phone.
Beware that all apps and settings will be wiped too. If you want to backup Data+Apps first, MyBackup Pro is a good choice.
Not taking any chances i also backed up Photos/Videos/Music just in case something went wrong.
So the procedure for upgrading to Froyo (2.2) should look something like this:
1. Backup Apps + Settings (optional)
2. Backup Photos/Videos/Music (optional)
3. Upgrade firmware using Kies.
4. Restore Market by doing a Factory Reset.
5. Restore data (optional)
Enjoy the new firmware
Market also missing for me in Norway
Is it possible for someone who has done a wipe to extract their market APK (if there's such a thing) for the rest of us to install? I'd really prefer not to have to wipe.
= Post to wrong thread =
Which version of kies you are using?
To upgrade the phone to Froyo (2.2) i am using Kies 1.5.1.10074_45
And as far as i know it is not possible to bring back the Market app, without doing a Factory Reset. Maybe if you rooted the phone you could achieve this ?
Hi.. I want to keep the apps/data/msg etc on the phone, can I flash the official branded firmware through Odin without it wiping the phone?
I'm sick and tired of Kies f**king me over, it offers an update but FirmwareUpdate crashes whilst downloading the update (tried on Win7 and XP, multiple cables, reinstalls etc)
Kies is offering me the JVH update.. I'm on JP6 (2.2) and am rooted through SuperOneClick and have flashed the Speedmod Froyo kernel, undone lagfix
I'm guessing this should be possible as I have updated to JP5 and then JP6 through Kies in the past and all the data was preserved.

Every firmware will you flash via odin....everysingle one will wipe all your data... There are some cases when it won't but after flashing you'll get FC of all your apps...
If you're running a lagfix you must deactivate it when you want toinsstall a 1 file firmware If you want to flash a 3 file firmware you shouldn;t care about it
yes, the ROM wipes PERSONAL data, like messages, phone book and so on,,,but NOT the SD card, so basiccaly if you back up these data via Titanium back up, the back up folder will be stored on the SD and will remain.
Your data is wiped but sdcard isnt

flashing firmware with odin will format only data. not sd card. do a nandroid backup before you flash.

Personally, if it were my phone I would have backed up the important stuff and update through Odin but it's my gf's phone and she doesn't want me messing up her homescreen/msgs/contacts/settings/apps etc..
I ended up emailing and *****ing to Samsung about Kies and they've suggested I take the phone down to one of their Service Centres and let them deal with it, might try that out.
Hi,
i have a sgs from optus australia with the following info:
Baseband: I9000DTJP3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #36
Build: FROYO.DTJP5
i flashed the speedmod kernel following instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
i wanted to flash cyanogenmod but it had a signature verification fail, which i now know is because of the recovery version. so i've given up on that and i just want to update the phone over kies to the stock gingerbread.
so, i'm pretty sure i can't just connect the phone to kies and try to update it because it has clockwordmod recovery?
so the question is how do i get back to stock kernel? i think I've downloaded the right firmware (from:http://www.multiupload.com/CH3Y5SAHE2), is it a matter of finding the kernel in that folder and just flashing that back on to the phone? is there going to be any issue with this?
thanks everyone
So I just went for it and updated the phone via kies. It worked with no real dramas.
So the next step in getting back to stock is to get rid of superuser, which I can't do now because the update took away root.
Is there a way to temp root the phone to remove superuser then get back to unrooted again?
Why not to flash with odin, with repartition and full wipe?
It will restore it ot factory settings.

Thank you for your reply, I read this a couple of days ago but I didn't really understand half of what you said lol
So I googled a lot but i'm no closer to understanding. I did a factory reset just from the settings menu but that didn't work. What does repartition do?

Repartition will effectively wipe your entire phone (it repartitions the phone's memory).
Odin is a program used to flash (install) firmwares, both custom and stock ones. Tutorials are everywhere, please search.
Cool thanks for that, I guess the problem I had with understanding is what am I flashing? The stock firmware? Because isn't that what kies just did (albeit without the repartition). Seems like a pain to find the stock firmware since I just got it from Samsung ota

It's either that or you root and then unroot (no idea how to do that one).
http://www.samfirmware.com/ has firmwares. If you flash a Froyo one (repartition checked), you could then update again via Kies. This will give you an absolute stock phone (including the loss of all your information via the repartitioning).
Have you tried going to the market finding the super user app and trying to click uninstall from there. Im guessing you tried the normal way...
Hi everyone,
I used custom roms for a long time and after that i decided to upgrade original samsung rom via kies. so i downloaded turkish rom from samfirmware.com and now i connect to kies and it says this device is not official samsung device and doesnt upgrade my samsung in the past there was method called spoof kies however it doesnt work with latest kies?
so how can i upgrade the official rom?
Just download right firmware from samfirmware.com and flash it via Odin.
It is that simple. Kies is ****
Why are you using kies? I used kies once when I first got my SGS and it almost screwed my phone up. Its a known fact that kies is crap, stick to odin and CWM
Sent using TCP/IP
Just find out one of the previous ROMS that was officially available for your country or region. Flash that ROM via Odin. Then, you should be able to connect to Kies and update without any problems.

The newer versions of Kies are better now. Also, the advantage of using Kies to update is that your data isn't wiped.

You can always try Kies again and again, but I stongly recommend Odin method.
With Odin, I'm quite sure you won't get bad headache

Well, you can back everything up with apps like Titanium Backup, but certain apps won't work properly after restoration, especially games. Fruit Ninja, for example, will no longer be able to save new high scores after restoration, and gameloft games don't work at all after restoration. Upgrading by Kies avoids these problems. But I guess that if you don't play games that much, Odin is the better choice. However, restoring apps takes up some time, while using Kies is faster.
