A number of people are asking for the JF3 firmware that came on their phones. At the moment nobody has this.... so it looks like we can't go back once we've flashed a newer version. Might be worth considering if you need to return your phone.
Hey Guys, Just thought I'd share my Galaxy S story with you, if that's cool.
It's been 4 months since I got my Samsung Galaxy S and after a week of owning it I flashed it using Odin to I9000XWJM2 (2.1) and everything was fine (well actually my phone would always crash and it got very annoying, but it was still useable as a device) but I was still prepared to wait until the official Vodafone Froyo update arrived. So the big day arrived! I found out that Vodafone had released 2.2 though kies. My first problem was that I have a Mac and kies is a Windows only program (I used my friends windows pc to flash the phone the first time round, because Odin is Windows only too) so I contacted Samsung and they said take it into a Vodafone store and they'll sort it. I thought "great" and I took it in and they tried to update it. Only problem was they said it wouldn't work because I had flashed it and kies wouldn't recognise my phone so he basically told me to flash Froyo on the phone the same way I flashed I9000XWJM2 onto it previously.
So now I'm going to flash I9000XFJP7 onto my phone, just wondering if this firmware is any good and will it be the same or even better than the Froyo update that Vodafone have sent out? Is it also stable and does it improve the GPS?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

P.S. Just tonight my Marketplace has updated, and now I can update all applications at one with the update all button at the bottom, and I now have the related tab feature. I thought this was only for 2.2 phones, I'm only on 2.1.
Anyone?

It's fast, unbranded and fast lol
and 2.2.1!
Cheers mate.
Hi, my phone wants be to upgrade the firmeware and i was wondering if it has any negative side effects for a phone that is rooted. I remember last time when i upgraded it since my phone was rooted it caused all sorts of problems and i am wondering if the same thing happens now.
If you want the upgrade unroot the phone......... but what firmware upgrade is it ?
Its the long awaited OTA 2.2 a tmo rep told me it was rolling out this week, but with no hard evidence I didnt post it.
(_ Don't PM me. just send an email. [email protected] _)
Ya, i got invited to upgrade, but i am worried when i do it will screw up my cellphone since its unrooted.
Just unroot then..
Dont worry,just do it
I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.
Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!
Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?
You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.
I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?
Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.
No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.
No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon
I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(
2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?
2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.
Gday guys,
Been lurking the forums for quite some time and played with many different roms since I got hold of a Vodafone AU Magic [32B] almost 2 years ago.
Running CM6.1 at the moment - but have found it to be increasingly unstable - random reboots and so on, looking to roll back to CM6.0, but thought I would roll the phone back to stock seeing that VFAU has since pushed out OTA updates for 2.2.
I know the original 1.5 and 1.6 VFAU roms are easily found, but what is the process to unroot, roll back and ensure OTA will work so I can update to 2.2?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
Even a nandroid backup of 2.2 would be much appreciated.
Hi,
did you get anywhere with this as I'm also looking to go to a stock Vodafone UK rom to sell my phone
Thanks
