Upgrade it to the newest version (Gingerbread - 2.3).
You can even install KitKat (4.4) if you want. Not officially though.

I find the easiest way to upgrade from 2.2 is to use the Samsung Kies software and upgrade to ginger bread thru that, so that you can use download mode. Then use the JVU Odin package and cf-root to prepare your phone to flash one of the latest roms. Always best to flash in steps using cm roms cm9 to whatever base of rom you want to use. It's whats I do and everything is always rock stable and clean for me.

Hello,
can i upragde only the radio fw version ?some people are reporting better battery life with the new baseband fw. And if so, can i flash back the old "downrev" fw back, if i had problems ?
From :
Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31.zip - OLD, standard in 2.1 Roms
to
Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25.zip - NEW in Chinise Froyo 2
I currently have the unrbanded wwe version 1.25.405.1 installed.
This is something I too would be interested to know. I have tried to do some serching but this is the first case I can find regarding the new 2.2 radio from the chinese rom.
I am currently on Puzzlerom 7.3
Once the v8 rom / v8.0.1 is stable I will go to that. Unless we have ourselfs a 2.2 froyo rom out before that. As I use my phone in a variety of ways and in multipule situations, I cant go without it for very long. 2 hrs at a time max.
Hope to be able to test things though ^_^
Peace

All components are working fine (gsm/umts,wlan,gps and bluetooth).
Only the frst Time GPS FIX takes a bit longer after update.
Also, the battery life seems to be a bit longer and the handy seems
to be more stable during calls with active data connections.
Hi
Long time observer & admire you guy here on what you do, this website has helped alot but now i finally have a question.
With Paranoid Droid v0.2 i have followed Dr.Ketan's guide to downgrade & then root/install cwm & then update back to 2.3.6 via ODIN Mobile, the root is cf-root on a Galaxy Note, can i flash this rom with what i have currently?
Thanks in advance.
You are on rooted Gb and yes you can flash it safely. Wipe data and cache and flash the rom ...then flash the gapps. All done
I assume i flash it with ODIN Mobile & not from CWM?
I think i got it (it installed all fine etc) via CWM.
How do i get all the S-Pen apps back? are they on the market?

The S-pen apps will not work in this rom.
Thanks for the info, but i have now gone back to official firmware, so i assume only roms tweaked from the original source will have the feature set still? even so it was also missing the built in FM Radio app to listen to local radio without needing to stream it.
On a side note, whats the deal i been hearing with Touchwiz 5.0 some people say its on the Note others same its 4.0. Which version is it & what is the differences?
Can someone tell me which is the latest radio version for this phone? A download link would also be much apreciated.
Bump

Here is the last best radios

I flashed one of those radios and sometimes when I receive a call I can't hear the caller, neither on the external mic. I recall having this problem on my nexus S as well on older GB versions, but since ICS update I never experienced it again. I was thinking maybe I have this problem on the 19000 bcz I flashed a GB nexus S radio.
I need a galaxy S specific radio please.
Im running Slim ICS 4.2 on latest ICS semaphore kernel.
Bump?

Hello people!
I own a SGS I9000...ORANGE...BOUGHT IN SWITZERLAND...
I made the update to 2.2.1 Froyo when i was in switzerland on december 2011
Later..when i came in Albania (my country) i flashed via ODIN with 2.3.5 (about 1 year ago)... since that time i have checked via Kies for new firmware versions but ..nothing new. Now ..i want to ask you..Can i upgrade to a newer version of firmware...upper than 2.3.5 even if kies tells me that there are no new versions for my device???Because i've seen surfing on the net...people that use SGS 1..that have upgraded it to 4.2.1 Jelly Bean or 4.1.2 for example.
I repeat...its ORANGE
Thanks
AW: [q] need some advices
You can always upgrade, but 2.3.6 is the latest Samsung release. Everything about like 4.x.y are custom Roms that can be installed with custom recoveries like cwm or twrp.
Nearly every rom thread offers an introduction on how to do it or take the YouTube way.

It's safe, but Cyanogenmod has different build versions. The nightlies are untested version, compiled directly from the github source. The monthly release is sometimes a working daily use build.
Try it out, in the worst case you must flash back to an old rom like 2.3.6 with Odin, it's a nearly unbrickable device, just read or watch the guides carefully.

Sounds about correct, you've got the P920 version though(easy way of saying European Version).
As long as it's supported you can flash.
Please make sure that you install TWRP and NOT CWR, I made the mistake of doing so myself and CWR wasn't cutting the cookie dough without wanting my phone formatted before a ROM was installed. TWRP leaves you with the option to flash a ROM with no issue and does not always require a format.
Try XBSA's ROM to be safe.
