I have an unlocked vibrant. When I tap on Software update it says "no firmware", i'm guessing this simply means there is no firmware update. Reason I ask this is if there are updates available to the phone, would I still get them via software update even if i'm not on t-mobile's network?
thanks in advance.
p.s. am a total droid noob
No updates yet
If you mean your using it on ATorT or another gsm network I would guys that you would not be pushed the update but not for sure. If your root you could always update manually.

Thanks for replying. I'll wait till 2.2 comes. If it my network doesnt have the update by then ... i'll root and put it in myself.
Updates are pushed by the carrier. That said, I would assume you would not receive updates for the Vibrant.
Why did you get the Vibrant, anyway? Doesn't Rogers use AT&T's 3G frequencies, rather than AWS?
The short of it is: you will probably have to root and flash to receive updates.
Hi There,
Samsung_Mobiles announced OTA Update for SGS phones - check this
http://tech2.in.com/india/news/smar...axy-s-gets-over-the-air-froyo-update/188082/0
and this
http://twitter.com/Samsung_Mobiles
Can someone confirm? Is this a fake?
thts right...............
SamFirmware says, that Samsung is busy with updates over the air - sooooo.. who hat it? And from what firmware.
It should update to 2.2.1 - but which MODEM, PDA and CSC? Countries???
Please post you comments!
Isn't there a Software-Update option in settings under telephone information since the JPO firmware? You have to log in with your samsungdive.com account and then it checks for updates.
Yeah i already debranded my handset a few weeks back from Orange UK (ORA) 2.1 to stock (XEU) 2.2.1.
I registered an account for the OTA updates. If there is an update available will i get stock ORA updates or the standard XEU ones?
I hope a window pops up giving info about the firmware update before it installs.
OTA Update allover the world via Kies?!
Samsung_Mobile says via Twitter:
OTA Froyo update for Galaxy S is being rolled out all around the world so till the time its available for most of us, please use Kies.
Does someone get it?
At a guess it is the same as the JPY update for XEU that those of us in the UK with unbranded S's have had since December.
I registered an account for the OTA updates. If there is an update available will i get stock ORA updates or the standard XEU ones?
Firmware is from your Product Code in your case from Orange so it the Orange updates you get .
jje
This doesn't sound right at all. 2.2 does not have OTA option, so how can we have OTA updates when many countries doesn't even have 2.2.1??
P/s: not that I don't believe the OP, but more on samsung's word...

Are there two threads about this? I have just posted on another to say that Facebook Samsung Mobiles is not an official Samsung web presence. It is also saying that the update is 2.2.1 but as you have to have 2.2.1 to access OTA (they were only enabled in 2.2.1) then it looks like a cockcup on the posting front or a deliberate mistruth.
Pfff.... its only a announcement for Vibrant...

Haha, I got misled by the above, as it has mentioned "being rolled out all around the world" ...

Is there an update for Galaxy S I9000 or not? is it for Vibrant?
They says its for I9000, not for vibrant on their twitter.
Any idea?
I asked samsung_mobile india via twitter and they said there is no "eta" (estimated time of announcement or what.ever...) for an update. Im pissed of that non-communication of Samsung. Without hacking that cool phone its only good for making phone calls... almost... its a pity

I'm using the official 2.2.1 and OTA updates are enabled but lately i get a lot of error messages stating connection failed.
+1 on the connection fail. I occasionaly have a quick check for any updates and the fail response has only been returned in the past week
Me Too
Also only had "connection failed" on checking for OTA updates recently (current firmware 2.2.1)
Yup, I'm having the same "Connection failed" stuff when it comes to the update menu.
I don't get Samsung... I asked via twitter and they sayed, that there is no OTA...
What is over the air and why it is better than Kies? Who produces ota google or samsung?

Always assume that any OTA or official update will break root and there is some risk that an update will actually brick your phone.
You should also assume that any OTA or official updates will prevent any known root methods from working in the future.
In short, if you are rooted don't take an OTA and if you think you want to root in the future still don't take an OTA.
One of the first things I do when I root a device is disable the OTA update mechanism so I'll never even see the notification.
Yes, the the new firmware update did break my root. I used towelroot. I have a galaxy tab 4 10.1 sm-t530nu.
Can you guys tell me whats the changelog? I dont want to lose root, but its worth it if its a major update.
Sent from my SM-T230NU using XDA Free mobile app
I updated my SM-T335 today. Changelog just said "Stability improvement"
I just bought this tablet today....didn't even think about the update...now I have to wait to root.
Not necessarily.
Im working on reverting my 10.1 to the prior firmware version. I just need to confirm that this is the appropriate firmware
PDA: T530NUUEU1AND4
OK, I used odin and restored the previous firmware. Ran towelroot again, and all is back to the way it was before the mistake in software update.
I was able to freeze LocalFOTA.apk but these were not there to freeze:
Kies.apk
SyncmIDM.apk
SyncmIDS.apk
Question for the masses

Security updates are sent as OTA updates. Moto has said that they will not be releasing security updates monthly. I'd guestimate one security update a quarter.
ok, so is there a way or app to download them? or is just an ota upgrade.
Do any roms have these included?

OTA Update. You can check for updates in Settings.
Hi,
is there any place where I can find news about the latest firmware updates? Just to make sure my phone is keeping up with all the updates, being it from TW. I have no idea if i can still expect OTAs or if i'm going to have to update everything manually. I have a 990DS dual sim, absolutely no complaints so far, it really works like a charm ?
Your phone will auto update, just accept the updates if they appear in your notifications.
Also check update center under "about phone" in settings
