I have just done the registry hack and got JPM through kies without a glitch.
It took me literally 2 minutes to do the registry and then just let kies download and install the update through the normal method.
I have not lost any apps / data.
My connection over 3g and sms and wifi is working fine.
All google accounts are intact.
I updated from JM1 to JPM.
If any UK users are having any worries about doing this i can tell you that it ran perfectly for me.
I would recommend the method but dont blame me if something did go wrong lol. Do so at your own discretion.
Did it change your product code?
Did the same as you 2 hours ago and it running like a dream!
I'm really tempted to give this a shot but after reading about a possible brick form another UK user, I think I'll wait until Samsung UK officially rolls out the update.

how I've searched the forums but can only find the registry hack for the i9000m
us UK galaxy is named as just i9000 right?
and what difference are there between JPM to JPA to JP6? They all run froyo don't they?
Can someone please upload some MP4 HD video so we can see how it looks now and is it close to the iPhone 4 quality ?
Tnx

Sorry im new around here, what you mean by normal method ?
Just tried it, a bit nerve wracking during that looooooong (well, it seemed long) reboot but its brilliant now. GPS a lot better, flash playing, the pinch to see all 7 home screens etc. Very happy!
FYI I am on an unbranded SGS with a vodafone contract (bought through phones for you).
PS the RAM monitor in the samsung task manager only shows 304 meg of RAM. I remember reading somewhere that FROYO uses all 512 meg, is the difference because of chunks reserved by the OS for stuff?
After an incredibly long boot, I have successfully updated my JM1 unbranded phone using this method
Nothing at all was wiped and the market etc. worked perfectly without me doing anything - the entire process went very smoothly.

By normal method i mean after you have changed the kies registry you just go back into kies and click on pgrade firmware and install 2.2 as you would with any firmware through kies.
Glad its worked for the rest of you guys too.
It is a little bit nerve racking lol but its worth it and as long as you do everything correctly you should have no problem at all.
The people that HAVE had trouble are mostly people that have forgotten to take the lagfix off their phones before starting the update... Even if it was the UK version and they went for the upgrade without taking off the lagfix it would still cause problems to the phone.
Vow, I thought hd video quality cant be better than this, for a phone..

I DESPERATELY need this update to fix my alarm clock but if it doesn't the phone is going back as I'm sick of being late for things due to having no morning alarm! (The clock on my SGS stops updating when the gphone goes to sleep hence I get no morning alarm!)

Just got another update. I was on kies 1.5.3.10093-80 so I am not sure yet what this one is.
Edit: kies 1.5.3.10093-81
I'm on 1.5.3.10093-80 and have no update.
Maybe Froyo is actually ready, but it's kies which is holding up the release...
Have you done a manual check for update in the Kies menu (not the widgets at the bottom) ?

You dont need phone connected if you update Kies.
It's more than likely to be a small fix that fixes the registy key error on the previous version ending in 80.

It's another large(ish) update, thousands of files again, hardly a registry fix.
When you click the close cross top right, or 'cancel' to close the firmware update check after it reports nothing new found. "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe" starts gobbling up ram like there is no tomorrow (over 1gb by the time I find it to kill it) and my system becomes basically unusable until I kill the samsung "devicemanager.exe" and "connectionmanager.exe" and wait a few minutes.
This problem only started with 1.5.3.10093-80, and 1.5.3.10093-81 doesn't change it at all. (win7-x64)
I keep getting 'The internet is not connected' message in the update procedure
I'll probably have to stay up all night, clicking retry

Yes, not fixed even in 81 and applies also to Win7-x32. Manually add .../FUS registry key solve the problem.
I get checking updates stuck on there all day. almost I left it on overnight and it just keeps saying checking updates. I went here http://au.samsungmobile.com/support/softwaremanuals/software.do?phone_model=GT-I9000&sw_type=SW and it's still only has 1.5.1_1083. Dam blasted aussie site you think we would be so upto date yet I feel like such a backwards country sometimes.
I've been on v10093_31_1, it didn't offer me an update. Uninstalled and manually downloaded v10093_80, installed it, then it was checking for updates for about an hour. Found one, but gave me at least 50 warnings about 'no internet connection' although the internet was working fine all the time, then it finally upgraded.
I have no problems with connecting the phone to Kies on W7 64bit whatsoever.
edit:
never had any problems with 'MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe' either, through update widget in Kies or executed manually.

Yes not sure why Samsung Australia Support is still pushing the older version unless the versions relate to the builds in some way.
Hell we are still running JG4 Firmware as a release well behind the rest of the world.
Have installed 1.5.3.10093_1_1 from the UK site and it was snappy to say the least.

I'm on Orange and am waiting until it's officially released Via Kies. Only reason being, that I phoned them when I discovered the GPS problems and told them if it wasn't fixed in the firmware update, I'd be asking for a different phone.
Point being, just be sure you aren't going to void your warranty using the Reg hack.

Was your handset debranded and/or unlocked at the point of updating?
FYI
Spoke to the Orange Customer Service team today. He confirmed that Froyo should see a full release over Kies by the second week of December.
Even though it won;t fix my GPS issues, at least I'll be able to copy and pasts from Emails!

Thanks for that info logicalstep- Shall believe it when we get it though....
haha yeah I know what you mean.
My phones also being replaced tomorrow to see if I can get one with a working GPS. I have told them that I'm prepared to go through their whole stock until I find one that works
Either that or give me a white one, that way I know it's a more recent manufacture and will hopefully have the GPS fixed.
Wish me luck.
Logicalstep
Good Luck!
Hate to boast but my GPS works really well ...
Really?
What's the longest journey you have been on? and have you deviated from the set course?
This is when I see it at it's worst.
Just for you information as well, it seems a bit strange to me. The replacement phone they have sent it a cross between Eclair and Froyo. It says 2.1 update in the software screen, but it has a GPS button and new task manager? Bit stange
It also comes with more Orange Crapware. And here's a slightly interesting thing. On my first SGS, I noticed it had a kind of springy sound inside, if you gave it a light flick it would have the very slight reverberation, as if there was a spring inside that was attached only at one end. The new one doesn't have any such sound / feeling to it.
I wonder if there is a connection to the GPS being crap on the first device?
I'll do a proper test of the next few days and report back.

My SGS firmware/software exactly as yours is-only got it 6 weeks ago.
Havent been any vast distance on gps but mucked up with it seeing how fast it picks up satellites,trying it out on localish roads and turning off bypasses for example the exit before it tells me too (cos I know the roads) it generally has worked out the route by the time Im on the roundabout at the top of the slip road. Bearing in mind Im in a Transit usually so not moving that fast to start with... Does all I need, and well. Apps like Layar work well too.
Hopefully for you this version sorts out the hassle with GPS.
I did a track back from Footie tonight, only 5 miles, but it seemed good!
No jumping about, although I did have the updates set slow-ish. Will try with Google navigation on Friday, have an hours drive to do.

Hay all. So, I got up this morning and like I do every morning and plugged my phone into my PC to see if there is any upgrades available yet. Usually everything goes smooth without a hitch. This morning, when I tried, Kies connects to phone no problem, but yet when i check for firmware upgrades, the firmware upgrade window pops up, and is completely blank for 5 or 10 seconds (sometimes more, sometimes its instantaneous ) then a messages comes up saying 'no response from server, check your internet connection and try again". I kept trying and trying, and then FINALLY after an hour or so, it said "this devices version cannot be updated." WTF?!?!
I am running the latest version of Kies 10103.100 and usually it just says there is no updates available at this time or whatever it says..
Any ideas?? Maybe Froyo is being uploaded?!?! Anybody else suddenly have the same problem?
I'm in Canada, and completely 100% stock. JH2 2.1
EDIT: okay, I just tried again, and now I'm back to the Latest version already installed on this device... Crap.. I was hoping it was a good sign that Froyo was on it's way like someone said in another thread that claimed he worked for Bell and the update would be rolled out on the 15TH. Suppose, the day isn't over yet..
yeah i just got the cannot connect to server message as well earlier. I was hoping they are taking down the server so they can roll out the 2.2 but i guess i was wrong. lol oh well, still hoping it'll come later today.

When it came out on vodofone on monday, so many people had problems with kies it was un believable. Going by the vodafone forum we're talking 10's of 000's

I thought i would just put it on to try it (no data or settings were wiped), i have just rooted it and i am gonna put the speedmod kernel on shortly, then i'll test it for a few days.
Looks like the sensor is constantly being used, opened it up to check history a few times and the time has gone up every time, even with gallery closed.
After initially running better JP5 has rapidly deteriorated, with lags and force closes, including system force close, which I've never seen before. Seriously thinking of reverting to JPO
I have disabled notifications and all lags and force closes have disappeared. Sad really but it dies appear to be the most problematic aspect of Android and has always been erratic. Previously Facebook and Twiiter
Finally it's out !! yaaa
but why I can't see the information of my old FW and the new one ?
I think Samsung's servers are Choking haha
I hope I can upgrade at midnight when no one is upgrading
I upgraded yesterday via Kies. Worked fine, no problems.
I'm finding the performance is good, no lag, no hangs etc There are new icons and new options such as turning off packet data which is very handy when you are in a location that has poor 3G signal.
Overall after a day I would say there is no drama but I'll have to wait a while to see if there is any real improvements.
BTW I've got a boggo standard handset that is O2 branded.

Just done the O2 firmware update (can't do any other firmware flash due to 3 button combo not working) and all want well........[bold]BUT[/bold] the GPS no longer works properly.
While on 2.1, it was excellent, but now it's slow at getting locks and most of the time my position is way off.
Can't be a hardware issue because it was great on 2.1.
How do we fix this (not having the 3 button combo restricts me from a lot of other options)?

Just checked mine it does not allow UK postcodes the tag is "Zip Code" and only allows Numeric values and Yes the Gallary sensory is the higest of the barrery usage under history.
Like many after installing 2.2 I had to do s factory reset. I had speed issues and my email client would stop responding and force close after update.

download GPS Status & Toolbox from the market and run it.
See if it makes a difference
Been running O2 froyo since yesterday and its good. Battery is fine. Was lagging until I removed task killer, now ok. GPS is better but still not great. Overall thumbs up.
I'm curious because I'd like to flash mine, but don't think we can go back to our build (P1000MUGJJ7, wtf i know).

As far as I know at this point there are no Bell roms floating around but if you feel comfortable flashing, read the first few pages of the ATT flash thread, get comfortable with Odin, it was a bit of a different flashing experience for me coming from HTC phones, give it a day or two to make sure everything is fine with the hardware (I took my first tab back to Futureshop for exchange 24 hours later as it had/developed a burnt pixel right in the middle of the screen) and then flash away.
The Bell rom doesn't really offer anything that the Euro rom doesn't, whereas the Euro rom enables the phone features on your Tab, the speakerphone is excellent btw.
Quick question re your unmodified Tab, when you launch Swype does it have a Voice button on the keyboard, I cannot remember if it did or if I'm confusing it with the Swype kb on my Nexus, which does.
Thanks. I wanted to flash so I can get the arabic words to show properly, hoping we'd get an official firmware first. I bought mine from Bell.
In regards to Swype, there is a Voice/Mic button, but for some reason it's greyed out now, can't use it. Even though voice search works perfectly everywhere else.
What bell apps would you like to keep?
I see no reason to keep bell apps on the tab anyway - I have no PVR
So why would you want to flash it back?
Self Serve app is pretty cool app, but I think it downloaded the APK heh, but the reason is i'm just worried in case I need a working ROM to fallback to.
Care to point me to that Bell Self Serve APK? I flashed mine to Euro before I even tried that application.
Some version of the Bell firmware will show up on samfirmwares.com before long, once it gets out to the service centers which are usually their source for firmware binaries.
For instance, it was about ten days after the Bell Vibrant launched before any factory firmware showed up (and it was older, pre-release firmware), but the original "JG9" found on Bell units at launch day has never showed up (current JH2 is there though).
You can always fall back to the AT&T firmware, which is available just to get you up and running pretty close to stock again, but of course that might cause problems if you want to reflash it before sending it in for warranty.
Something else to keep in mind (but try not to abuse please) is the 30 day DOA period from Bell kind of covers your ass if you totally screw something up and brick it for real. Provided they have a replacement in stock.
Thanks for the info Croak. That was pretty helpful.
About the Self Serve app, I realized there was a link initially that took me to the market to download the app, http://www.appbrain.com/app/bell-self-serve/com.bellmo.selfserve, I'm not sure if this shows up for you. I'm still dabbling in adb, so I'm not sure how to get the apk off the device just yet :/
Note: The self serve app only works on 3G, not wifi. That would explain how it knows to my account info automatically.
I forgot ask something, in regards to the Market, will regional apps still show after flashing non-north american firmware? For example, the TD Canada Trust bank app. I remember I had issues with the MIUI on my N1 because it was a Chinese ROM. Eventually it was fixed though.

Hi xoltrix2000.
I also have the Bell SGT, but have no phone option what so ever :-(. Have the hardware appearently, but no way of using it. Are you able to use the phone option on your SGT? If so, how did you manage to get it?
Thanks for any info.
Since then I flashed the P1000JPJJ2 arabic firmware with no issues so far. It has the phone capabilities obviously just like any of the euro firmwares, tested it by using another phone line enabled sim card.
Thanks for your reply xoltrix2000. Good to know that it actually works. I'll have to read up a bit on the 'how to', get all the needed software and then try it myself.
I currently have a SGT with a custom JM6 and a modem which gives my full data and voice call capability. I posted instructions on this in the general area.
