Don't you mean I9000DTJG4. ie. JG4
Might like to update the thread Title.
I'm thinking of reflashing my OPTUS SGS back onto JG4 OPTUS firmware.
Wondering about my warrantee even though I bought it unlocked through an OPTUS reseller not through OPTUS.
You got it through Kies is a pretty good acheivement in itself with all the negative responses out their about Kies.

I've gotten 4 updates through Kies on the Korean phone, a guy I send PMs to on here just got an OTA update yesterday which surprised the hell out of me.
*EDIT* He is also in Korea on the Korean version. And 2 of my firmware updates might count as one since they came bundled, but I think they were separate releases and I just happened to get both at once.
I guess I am not able to update to this versoin because I flashed with JM2 ??
What if I flash with soemthing like JG1 ? Will I be able to upgrade ?
One more question, how does kies knows that it's an optus device ? Is it the IMEI or the Sim card or the current ROM ??

Yay first update completed. now have a task manager that wasn't there before, lost all contacts and apps, is it supposed to keep these? could be annoying if have to restore from back up every time there's an update.
Did it fix the lag and GPS-issue?
Kies Sync Problem after upgrading
Hi,
I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to the new JG4 firmware.
I have the following builds:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband I9000DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build: Eclair.DTJG4
The problem is that after upgrading Kies i can no longer connect back to my phone.
The MTP USB Device driver comes up with an error as soon as Kies fires up. The old version of Kies had no problems but the latest release has some real issues.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Peter
Thought I'd use mybackup pro before I try out this jg4 update. I havn't rooted yet - will I still be able to backup all the app and data needed? I guess the important bit to know is - what can't I backup because I'm not on root. Probably should figure that out before backing it up and going to the update!

Flashing your phone removes applications, contact, email and everything you hold dear hence why in most of the trheads it say's to back this up using the available backup programs.
Lost settings, contacts and apps after upgrade
I am new to Android and the SGS. Is it normal to lose everything when upgrading the firmware?
I lost everything also! This is my first time updating android firmware and coming from an iPhone I wasn't expecting it. I don't recall seeing a warning message, but I may have missed it as it took several attempts to get kies working. Searching the HDD for dll files/renaming/moving around just to get the update to work is bit much to ask!
Unfortunately it hasn't done anything to fix the GPS problems, I can't get a location after trying for an hour. Have had trouble with wifi in the past, but this seems to be resolved now.
It seems that Market is broken in this official firmware
I can't find Skies of Glory or MSN Talk Pro
It turns out that all protected applications are not shown in Market - pretty lame from Samsung.
Poor effort
Sorry Samsung, but to lose all your contacts, settings and downloaded applications while updating (and without any warning) is a very poor effort regardless of any improvements that may have been made. This is very disappointing and unprofessional and the update should be withdrawn until these problems are resolved. F grade.
Regarding Kies not connecting to the SGS. I had that problem prior to updating and tried many things to resolve it. Eventually, formating the SD card fixed this issue for me.

I can confirm this is the case. It would appear other applications are creating the issue on the phone with 16digit extentions or files. After an internal SD format kies worked correctly.
I have to agree with you all in theory.
Even flashing the firmware on say a Nokia phone, a message comes up asking you to backup your data prior to upgrade as you will loose it on the phone. Samsung have poorly implimented this in Kies. It will flash the firmware but give you no warning of the implications.
I guess you could also argue that this is an Android phone and not a iPhone. Things are done differently in Android then in iPhone and maybe a bit of reading might have identified that you should always back up you data prior to flashing the firmware.
That being said Kies should have an inbuilt ability to backup and restore your data and applications if they are also offering to flash the firmware.
Wish you all luck with it.

Yep, I find this a serious serious problem without a working KIES. I don't want to be forced to surrender personal info to google. MyBackUp steals the info to the cloud even if you wanted to backup just to the storage card.
How does this compare to JM2 to those who had tried both, in terms of lag and GPS accuracy?
Rooting is not what a typical consumer will do..so how can you officially back up in android?
So samsung must had a serious bug in kies it shouldn't remove your apps.
I Odin to m2 n yes I lost all my apps but I was expecting that fair enough but from kies cmon
Though my contacts being sync to google that was ok...
I am running stock .5 version. Until recently market has been running fine. Until last week. I tried to download a new app, but I got Market "a server error has occured".
Is anyone else having this problem with stock .5?
thanks!
I would also be very interested to know if someone with stock .5 CAN access market with no problems. Thanks again!
Hey guys,
Yesterday I upgraded my Galaxy S2 to the KG1 2.3.4, and today I wanted to stream a flash mp3 like I used to on 2.3.3, and it says I need to download the latest version of flash.
I got version 10.3 of Adobe Flash and reboot the phone and still nothing.
Thanks,
Peter
No ideas???
Works here .
KG1 was that not the test version might try KG2/3

that happened to me 2 weeks ago, I just uninstalled/reinstalled flash player, still working until today.
same problem with me, reinstaled the app and it is working, but i still have one problem, if i wach somtehing thru browser i have no sound during that.
Well I actually can't uninstall Adobe Flash Player, only the 10.3 update.
Do you think I can remove the .apk and then download it from the market again?
Has anyone gotten a message that says an Adobe Flash Player upgrade is required when attempting to play a video on the A7?? If so, did you upgrade? My unit sometime gives me that message when Im trying to play a video while on Facebook. I go to the site to download the upgrade, but I don't want to chance messing up my flash functions totally! If anyone has upgraded to the latest version (10.3.183.11) please let me know how it worked out for you...thanx!

I just bought a refurbed A7 yesterday and have updated flash player thru the market and everything works fine. Not sure if the market update is the same as the one on their site but I would assume so. If you update thru market you can always uninstall updates if it messes something up.
After I updated my phone via OTA to kitkat,I encountered several problems:sometimes when I listen to music with my earphones the phone starts all of a sudden to play the music on the speaker,too.It basically plays the music in the headphones and on its speaker simultaneously.Other times,the audio may stop totally(no speaker or headphone sound).Ocasionally,the phone crashes after encountering this issues.
I haven't heard anyone mention this kind of issue and I thought my phone is faulty but it isn't because it happened right after I updated to kitkat(the same day) and it still happens now (nearly 3 months since the update).I've had enough of it so I decided to ask for some help.What should I do to stop it?I did a couple of factory resets and also flashed the firmware again via odin,and still it happens.
My phone's original firmware is ROM,but the latest has the problem described above.Can you guys recommend other official firmwares to flash?

you can find the latest firmwares for n9005 on samobile just download 1 (MAKE SURE NOT TO DOWNLOAD THE 16GB HK version firmware) and flash through odin....as for this issue you speak of.....no i never had it and i certainly dont have it now...and as far as i know...you are the 1st person to report such a problem....
I have this issue aswell, still can't find a fix for it.
Might be a fault with the phone itself. (?)
Did you check the audiojack for any dirt, dust or metallic particles?
