Hi,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S.
I don't know anything about Android.
Because it was a used phone when I bought, how can I know if it is rooted or not? Do I have to root/unroot to be able to update to Froyo?
It has no stricker on it or no logo on phone start of any gsm carrier.
I9000XXJF3 is the model.
Thanks from now..

You never have to root a phone to update it..
You are using a european SGS.
My suggestion is to install kies though, and update it, because JF3 is from June
When I go to Firmware Upgrade via Kies it writes:
Model Name: GT-I9000
Current Version : PDA:JF3 / PHONE:JF3
This device's version cannot be updated.
This means you have latest firmware

Hello i want to Flash back to an Rom that can be upgraded trough Kies in Germany.
E.g.: Eclair 2.1
So that Kies identify it and say: Oh there is an newer Firmware because your OFFICIAL Firmware is old lets upgrade it.
So were on Samfirmware.com do i get the official german Eclair or Froyo that i can upgrade at the end to Gingerbread trough Kies?
I just downloaded some Eclair 2.1 from samfirmware.com but Odin stopps always at Setupconnections......
Pls i need your help
Greetings from Germany
Why not just flash an ezbase rom with odin, froyo or gingerbread, root included in both

He has to flssh a stock-ROM (any Froyo-version) first and then it is possible to update with Kies. Or he can flash the official Gingerbread-version with Odin too.

Hello, I have an ace with the galaxy android 2.2.1, I am trying to update it via the kies, but whenever I try to do the update, it locks up when my device restarts in downloading so... I tried three times always happens the same...
have reinstalled the drivers, before attempting the updates android... already updated the kies, I am now trying to update with the sd card in the device, do not know if it makes any difference...
sorry if this question has been discussed here, but did not find here.. and for my english...
Don't use Kies. Go for Odin.

KIES update very Slow. Try Odin
When I find a version I like, I'll try... For now I will continue with this one..
Thanks

update your phone after 11 pm or update your phone by OTA
Odin will help you. It it thought to be stable and safe just like Kies. And easy, too
I would not have problems using the odin and i believe he is well stable... But I will not have problems with the warranty of my device wich had problems and returned a short time of the repair.

The proceedure to Flash via ODIN is the same for all Official Roms. You can get a few posts in the GENERAL FORUM.
