[Q] Help : Updating my Samsung GT-I9000 Eclair

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..

Thanks for ur response Ishan, one more thing, actually my I9000 is German. So hope it will not create any problem while updating through Kies .. ?
Also any particular series of steps needed to be followed while updating through Kies ?

Just take any latest firmware from sammobile and flash using odin...
just use the corresponding modem... leave all the rest no probs...!

Try wiping data and cache and if it still doesn't work, try reflashing another stock firmware and be sure you're using a firmware for your country or region. Never update using the Samsung dial pad.

ICS 4.0.4 official Update for SGS+ available , is it true ?

Hi Friends,
Today I got a message from My Service Provided (Airtel) that the official ICS 4.0.4 is available for your samsung device and visit Samsung.com/in site. I had only one samsung device that is SGS+ (GT-i9001). Inorder to check that I dont have the original stock ROM with me as I already upgraded to so many custom ROMs. But only if using original Kies will show if the update is available or not.
Does any one else got to know about this news? Can someone with Original Stock ROM can check this is true or not?
Cheers,
Kirankumar.

got a link for us?

no i think that it is not true

Their is no further update for the Galaxy S i9000. Android 2.3.6 is the very latest.
I argue that Samsung should have released it with Touchwiz 4.5 instead of 3.0.

i dont think so

i dont use kies... i used once and didnt work properly for me so i leave it

Cant check via Kies
I cannot check via Kies, as I m using CustomROM (BroodROM B E 1.2). I tried to connect to PC via Kies, its not even getting connected.
Also I lost my Stock ROM which was pre installed, and I believe only if check via the original installed Stock, Kies will show the update according to the region. That's why I mentioned, if anyone having such stock can give a try and check if the update is available or not.

Probably we'll never get official support ICS
