First of all, i have Upgraded my sgs i9000 to android 2.2.1 ZSJPJ stock firmware using odin V7. The Root Checker state that " The busybox is installed correctly", But i din't root, why the busybox is there? Will the busybox effect the OTA Update?
Next, How do odin V7 work? Did it perform clean install on sgs? I have ticked the "re-partition", just not sure...
About the OTA Update, How it actually work? Did it work as like the samsung Kies? every time i check for update it state " No Update Available", i admit that the android 2.3.3 is still not available on asia. So it means that the OTA update is still working right?
Any guidelines?
Where did you download stock firmware?Ramad is deodexin firmware and have root did you download from there?OTA update never works.try some software that need root to work and you will be promted to ggrant superuser access.offcourse you need superuser app.then you will know that you root.

OTA never in use yet by Samsung or networks .
Firmware you installed has root in it .

Thanks for reply, I'm using stock firmware from samFirmware.com
hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
I never updated the system.
my Firmware version is 2.2
I was told that when you update the system it erases all the info on the phone, is it true?
I would like to know what is the latest firmware version for SGS and how do I update the phone. I believe there is already a page with instructions but I couldn't find the right one for me.
Thanks
hi
hey there
good to hear you wanna update ! the newest version depends on where ur from bro , the latest official firmware in the east is the value pack 2.3.7 update
if you haven't customized or rooted ans can update via kies software your sd card data will remain intact. any form of android system data like notes and contacts will be erased .
make necessary backups of contacts notes etc . backup available via kies .
plug in the phone and it will prompt you with update available .
flash after taking backups
Hi All,
Im on the Official ICS ROM INDIA...4.0.3 DDLP4
Yesterday, when i checked kies, there was an update waiting (No Update on OTA). The downloading of firmware was taking ages to download(3.2mbps connection) and after about 70 percent the downloading stopped and Kies said "Connection stopped"....
Any body who has downloaded the F/W can you please post the change log (If you find any).. I mainly wanna know, if the laggness of the lock screen and slowness to open contact's and capturing pics has been rectified.

Ah glad that i have company.sad at the same time!! Even i have the same problem after the 7mb OTA update. The andriod process closes often and hangs the phone.The phone was literally unusable. Hence i tried to install custom gingerbread rom on it. Now its almost completely bricked.How irresponsible is samsung to roll these things out without testing it thoroughly.
***PLEASE DON'T INSTALL THE 7MB ICS OTA UPDATE***
hopefully we can save some.
I also tried to update through OTA but it was failed and message popped up that do update through Kies. Now I got update through Kies and my firmware changed from DDLP4 to DDLPA. However I lost Root.
I also received the update notification. Downloaded the 7.8 mb update within a minute and asked for reboot. Everything worked fine and nothing special noticed. It just changed the build no. from IML74K.DDLPA to IML74K.DDLP8

you mean LP8 to LPA? check your kernel version date. if it shows 12 June then fine, else your kernel has not been updated.
Hey guys basically its stability update. my phone feels much smoother now. i updated OTA via wifi, i also faced update not installed issue and i found out the problem, basically we all root our device that means we change SU binaries so when updating phone OTA it checks for those binaries and if these binaries are not official OTA update get aborted. i solved this problem like this,
1) I have downloaded STOCK LP8 firmware from samobile.com when it released
2) As my phone is rooted my SU binaries are changed so OTA update is aborted.
3) So FLASHED Stock rom LP8 from PC ODIN which kept my all DATA, APPS intact i just lost my root and some mods like 15toggles status bar and so..
4)then i started updating my phone using S/W update in settings, its 7.85MB file.
5)In few minutes my phone is updated to LPA
6)Now i again rooted my phone and my all data apps are intact and mob is much improved in stability.
Hope this will help you guys.

kernel is definitely updated in LPA. just flash LPA ROM file using Odin.
I also agree with what mullarameez has pointed out. rooting might be the reason for kernel being skipped. because if u flash LPA with odin you will lose root and hence get the new kernel.
Is there a way to update Kernel without flashing the whole 650 mb rom?
with all the issues in ICS, i think it would be safest if you would flash using the whole LPA ROM. I know its a pain to download but worth it in the end.
OMG! just a 7Mb update took 2hrs to download.. Hmmmm...
My main prob was with Lock screen, camera and contacts.. Noting has been resolved on this new Update!!!
what is the issue? is it lag?
This is confusing..
I have everything stock on my phone..All updates done OTA since i bought the phone..Not rooted..
Still the kernel says 12 May after the 7mb update..Why?? Although the deep sleep issue (sore point for me) seems to have been resolved after this update...
PS: The build info after *#1234# says 12 June, if that matters..
yes, almost all the users who updated OTA have the same issue. you may flash the new LPA using PC Odin from doc's post (anyways you're not rooted so no problem)

OTA updates never seem to get the phone updated successfully.... Don't rely OTA updates that much. It mostly will not work (esp if its 100MB+) on large updates.
What your going to do is, install Samsung Kies on your PC. Plug your phone after and in no time at all, your phone will be updated to the latest firmware (of your region).
I am running the official Samsung JB 4.1.2
and every couple of weeks i get a reminder to run a Software Update (37.22 MB)
All it says is "Improved stability"
When i install it it seems to go ok but after it reboots the phone says "Failed to update firmware, try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a samsung service centre"
I then get another reminder approx a couple of weeks later to install it again. This has been going on now for a couple of months.
anyone know why this update wont install.
Are you rooted with a custom kernel? If yes then you can't install OTA. Kies will help you update easily.
