thank you DioXCodec for the response, i want to ask you i have the v11 version can i root it by Unlock-Root ?????
U dont need root for update to 2.3.4 if u want stock rom. But if u want custom rom u can root your phone with Lg esteem. It works for me well

Have you rooted your phone? If yes, then you need to flash the orginal sbf to get the update installed. But it is probably a minor update patch. Could be the 2.1 update1. Where are you from?
hi
i've rooted my phone and i'm using the original 2.1update-1 from a website
you guided me to ( remember arabic roms )
i'm from saudi arabia

Oh yes. I do remember. As i said, if you want any OTA download to work, you need to flash the original ROM without root.
hi
you know what
i did that to ( installing new original rom and before rooting my phone i've tried
to install the update but no success )
regarding the original rom does this website http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone has original roms?
if it does so my rom is original
if it's not so you know
many regards
Yes it does. The sbf's mentioned there are all official.
Anyway don't worry about the update. If you have update1, that's it. Froyo will be out anytime now.

Hi All
I am having unlocked Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000. Currently its on Eclair. Now I want to upgrade it using Stock ROM GB ( given by Samsung on their website : sammobile.com ) . But facing following problems :
1) My Home key is not working . Is there any alternative to this key ? or I will have to get it repaired before I could do anything
2) My I9000 is unlocked one. So, if I upgrade it ,then will it get locked again ? If yes what is the method to unlock the set ?
please respond to my questions .. Thanks in advance ...!!
The button saviour app provides an onscreen replacement for the hardware buttons?
My phone has always stayed unlocked after i flashed it.

If you want an official GB rom for India (without root and stuff), just install latest version of kies and then update your phone using that.. I know everyone (including myself ) hates kies.. but if you want an official one without losing any of your stuff then its the best way..
If you purchased it brand new unlocked then it won't get locked when you upgrade.. further if you purchased it from India then there is no carrier lock in India..

Apparently i'm running the latest version 2.2.2 according to the update app. Is this right?
Handset is simfree and unbranded. would it have been better to be network branded?

Ok first of all you mean the app from the settings menu right? Secondly this is the latest froyo but the firmware has moved on to gingerbread 2.3.4. But i don't think you can do this update OTA(over the air). So you need lg update tool to update via pc connection. Hope i helped and sorry for this but before you post something do a search.. that is why there are forum rules. To obey them.

Fair play regarding the forum rules.
I've got the update tool installed on the pc stating. The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.
Country, uk
model lgp970
version v10b
Also pcsuite and all drivers installed,
It's a uk model, so can't as yet be upgraded by the lg tool

Nothing my friend. By the way you are lucky because whatever you choose surely will have english language.. do a little search and decide what is best for you. There is stock v20n rooted which is the european open. And there are some custom like zeus and marvel. Hope i helped.

Well, as far as i know LG programs can do that on pc. I have encountered one or two myself. I can't explain it. I don't know if yours is different. But my guess is there isn't a V20 rom released for your country. So check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392
even if no rom released for my country the R&D should work but apparently it isnt
so i need help upgrading to GB

What firmware is your phone using now?
If it says Egypt then you will have to get KDZ by manual link. There is a thread how to do that, but I can't find it now.
Try with lg rom converter and smartflash?
