If you want OTA or updates over Kies you need to install the proper Rom for your country.
You can find here

iirc, german models were one of the fastest to get updates.
more importantly, tell us which version your device is currently running. if its already on the latest version then its pointless to waste time swapping regions and wiping your device.
its the latest for now
android 2.3.6
baseband xxlb2
kernel xxlc1

Hey guys!
Just wanted to know if it's possible or okay to flash an Asian based SGS with European software...I was interested in checking out the beta releases with Froyo but they're only available as European firmware.
My phone was purchased from the US but it was apparently sourced from Singapore since it had Singtel stuff on it. I flashed it to generic Asian firmware and then updated it with Samsung KIES which gave me the Asian firmware upgrade (DXJG4) free from Singtel customizations (yay!)
And another question...which firmware do you guys recommend to stick with until Froyo is officially released? Like which firmware do you guys experience the least "black screens" or stalling/lag? I don't want to be installing random fixes just yet so I was hoping there's a firmware out there that has less or none of these issues.
Thanks in advance!

You can, just avoid the US/i9000M/i9008/Korean ROM's. But with XXJG1-JG5 roms on my singtel, I found the GPS didn't pick up a single sat.
I recommend XXJM5 currently.. GPS is usable (but still drifts, and doesn't respond when making sharp corners well), and everything which works on other roms seems to still work.
In regards to Froyo, don't bother. It's a fun play for a short time, but there are very few benefits, and plenty of serious disadvantages still (because JP1-JP3 still are in an early testing stage).
Also, it isn't known how service centres deals with flashing other regions firmware (and if they care enough to cancel warranty).
I also have an Asian SGS and im wondering if w/c is better JG5 or JM2.. Im still on our latest official firmware at JG4
can anyone share their experience of using european firmwares on asia models. i want to know too
Hi, it's my tab cant upgrade to gingerbread? Even the when the official firmware available in malaysia?
Coz my fren using galaxy ace, is show diff from me
"This version of device is the latest version"
Mine
"This version of device cannot be updated"
Current firmware version: PDA:KM3 / PHONE:KM1 / CSC:KM2 (XME)
Thanks!
You have to manually flash gingerbread. It may not officially be available in your country yet, but you can still get gingerbread. Search tab development thread for gingerbread rom.
Hit thanks if i have helped.

Thanks.
But I'm confused tat, if when my country available the firmware update, i still cant upgrade it?
I'm scared tat i cant upgrade the official firmware, cos mine still under warranty so plan to upgrade the official if can.
I get the info from some others chinese forum, some of the version cannot be upgrade to gingerbread. It's true?
The case may be that the country/region server does not yet recognize the
current firmware version (PDA:KM3 / PHONE:KM1 / CSC:KM2 (XME)) that you have. i also get that notice when i tried KM3_KM1_KM2 on my tab. i'm from the philippines and as per experience the only firmware that my kies recognizes for is the one that came with my tab when i bought it which is p1000dxjk2.
hopefully, when they "officially" roll it out for SE Asia, we will be able to update through kies. but for now i'm enjoying the stock gingerbread + CF-Root by chainfire.
Hey there,
So last I checked there was still no official release of the V20 firmware for Gingerbread on the LGP970 for UK networks. Does anyone know why? Are there still plans to release it?
I've held out on flashing my phone and manually installing one of the other official releases, because it looks quite tricky. If I do flash myself, any recommendations on which region's firmware to install?
Many thanks in advance,
J

Same here (Brazil). None of the operators have the V20 upgrade, just the open units (directly from LG).
My CP is from TIM Brasil and I have flashed the Brazil Open version. I've been having no problems whatsoever.

There are 2 ways you can do:
1. On the dialer *#272*IMENumber# then change your region CSC on the screen that comes out. The Phone will reset to factory with the new region.
2. Flash a stock ROM for your region, in this case Singapore. You can get a stock rom from Sammobile.com.It doesn't matter if Gingerbread or better still chose the latest ICS..
Good luck!
Anyway, if you only want to upgrade to ICS why not try connecting first to KIES to see if there is an upgrade for the region you have now? My GN was bought in the Middle East but I flashed Germany GB ROM and upgraded to ICS 4.03 using kies. From that version I was able to upgrade OTA to 4.0.4.
I have an issue where I bought the phone off amazon UK brand new. It's not carrier branded. And i have no idea of where it came from. I updated the phone to 2.3.4 V20e from 2.3.4 V20c through the Lg updater.
When i choose the firmware. does it matter which region i choose? the closest to me is france for v20e. As I am in ireland.
tldr; Does it matter which v20e firmware region i choose? Or is there another option.
I was using this guide to root my p970

and this is the firmware list to choose from
