Question about the official firmware update.

I'm sorry if it has been discussed, i used the search functions and all i came up was a bunch of random stuff. So...... is there a date for the official firmware update, that would be available from the site of SE????

Search here!
I don't know where you are but most ROM updates have been available for the past couple of weeks. I updated mine using SEUS to R2AA008 Generic_NAM version and the new ROM date is 12/21/08.
Also check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437785

WOW...i guess i'm missing something here. Why isn't there an official update available? How can there be 1K+ firmware updates in the links you posted, but nothing official?

Leaked
It seems the UK ones etc are all leaked and not official like the NAM and the Voda and other European etc. I wonder if there will be any differences though in the officially released ones?

Any word on the official release date?

Official Froyo question

The Samsung firmware website has only leaked versions of Froyo for now, will they be getting the "official" froyo fw once Samsung releases the official version in September?

Not sure what you mean, but any pre-releases will probably need to be wiped.
At the moment, there are very few good reasons to be using the Froyo prereleases anyway. They were probably only leaked because people got annoyed of the claims that Samsung was sitting on their arses doing nothing.

Sorry I wasn't being clear. What i meant was: Will the internet get the official froyo firmware once Samsung releases it?
I'm asking this because where I am I cannot update to froyo OTA so I will need to flash it.

Yes you will. The xda community will have it before it goes ota

i dont think galaxy s has an option of OTA updates. u probably need KIES to update firmware.

I checked with the Samsung guys here in Dubai and they flat out denied that the SGS will get Froyo OTA or through KIES. So I'll have to flash anyways

I don't think this can be true or makes any sense. OTA agree but update via Kies why not? I recently updated to XF5 via kies in Dubai and hope the froyo update also to happen via kies.
This is not an android market to worry about any copyright issues for them to stop releasing it here. Once they host in samsung I think it will appear via Kies.

ODIN is what you will have to flash with.

With only the slightest difference in hardware from the international version, someone I know here in Korea got an OTA upgrade (he has MBP and hasn't even bothered to load Kies). I think the carrier here is their closest partner and that might have something to do with it. Not sure.

it'll be OTA for cell providers that offers that service
or via KIES
we in America got already JH2, with GPS fix and lag fix
it came out via KIES

Update through Kies in Dubai, that's good to know. Btw, does the XF5 have the android market app? You see that's the major reason I flashed to JG1 (Euro) rom.
On the other hand, if Samsung does release Froyo (through Kies) in Dubai, will there be a market app for it? I wonder.

Hi fakeullu, I have now realised that the update will be pushed to your kies based on what region ROM you already have in your mobile. So in that what you said and feared was right.
Even I had a SingTel (singapore) based SGS so the update that was pushed via Kies for me was again a singapore based one. I still had the SingTel based screens.
This is the same even for the locally purchased SGS in Dubai. You will get a Middle East based ROM, having said that there are multiple versions for a single region. For example, Middle East has some 3-4 different versions of FW. and good news is that some will have Market access. (you can refer to a thread called 'Samsung secret codes). These regions are identified based on a three letter alphabetical code like xsg for singapore and xfg for middle east.
In another thread on getting android market access - somebody was suggesting a technique to get access to android market and it worked for locally purchased device. Search for that thread.
I did the same and retained a singapore version while I removed successfully the SingTel customised contents out.
Dubai people flashed it to XFG and gained market access. So the next time you connect through Kies it will only push you a version that is compatible with XFG (the one that has market access).
I am sure this helps. You don't have to necessarily go for rooting and flashing a different regions ROM as the method I mentioned above is safe and without rooting and maintaining your warranty.
Cheers

Thanks for the comprehensive answer Sany. I've flashed to JG1 (Euro rom), so technically I should receive a euro update through kies even though I'm in Dubai?

Thats correct

Well sany, I did try updating through kies but it said no upgrade was available. Just like I thought. Anyways, I'm happy with flashing when Froyo roms (official) are released on Samsung firmwares website.

SEUS updates available?

I've searched around the forum and can't find anything so I figured I'd just ask.
I ran SEUS and it says there is an update available, and the first time it downloaded a 133 MB file, but i didn't notice anything different when I rebooted the phone. Now it keeps telling me there is an update available, but it doesn't seem to download anything and the update doesn't seem to do anything either.
Anyone have this happen or know the thread where it may have been addressed before?
[UPDATE I actually found some other users in the Update 1.6 by country thread so I'm just going to post there from now on. I don't know why I didn't think of looking in there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717818&page=30 ]

You need to give us some information about the update and current version you have FW.

Seus has never found an update for my phone. I've manually upgraded firmware twice and currently using ver R2BA024.
Does Seus allow update by country? Has anyone in Australia gotten update through Seus?

I have. When I plugged my X10 in it and I pressed the Update button it told me there is a newer version available.

I'm on the stock AT&T firmware. I just got the phone last week.

I am assuming that you don't know where to read the firmware version.
Push the left button on your phone while you are on the main screen(no lock)
select "settings" and then go all the way down to the end and select "About Phone" and read the last number which is says "Build Number"
The page you are actually on has the least information about your phone.
I am aware that there was an update for ATT last to couple weeks ago but sometimes SEUS goes crazy and notify you when there is none. Your phone probably is branded "means that att has locked it" and you may want to unbrand it (you can search the development section for that) you can also root to get access to all the programs if you need to uninstall them.
Unfortunately Android 2.1 is not out for this phone as of now but it will be. They will first release for unbranded phone (this is what they have told us) and then branded later this year. It may take sometimes for ATT to update but if you wait you can flash a different one when its available on this forum later.
I hope I could help you a bit.

And I assumed you would know that the stock AT&T FW version was 1.6 and the build number is R2CA016 which I thought was common knowledge and is why I didn't initially post it. I guess both of our assumptions were wrong.
I know my way around android and I already knew everything you posted. None of which answers my question except for the part about SEUS going "crazy". I didn't want to even try doing a full root and going to a different build until after the 2.1 update. I've used SWM to load the x10 root app so I could use Titanium to remove the at&t crapware already. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I'm not a noob and 90% of your post was made with the assumption I was.
I've been following all of the 2.1 update threads and I wasn't even considering it was the 2.1 update. I just wasn't sure what it COULD have been since I also couldn't find any kind of update history either.

Anyone got the Three(UK) Froyo?

According to the three galaxy s blog : blog.three.co.uk/2010/07/28/video-samsung-galaxy-s-on-three/#comments
Froyo was live on keis on Friday, yet it still isn't showing up for me
Current Version : PDA:JG2 / Phone:JG1 / CSC: JF2
Anyone else upgraded officially from three

I will check that at home tonight. Will let you know in a few hours time.

It may take a while to get around to everyone.
I would wait a few hours and see if the update appears.

No update for me.
PDA: JG3 PHONE: JG1 CSC: GPG
"The device's version cannot be updated"

Hmm - There seems to be an update to Kies though. Wonder if it's related? Downloading now...

Oh well, updated Kies and still no Froyo update despite it having been 'available since Friday'

Same thing here ... got excited by the Kies update thinking I'll have Froyo afterwards

We'll just have to accept that Three are incompetent

I spoke to a Three Tele Team , He told me that It was a Beta Testing and got Out Mistakenly , And he confirmed its not Live at this Moment and he also confirmed that its coming out this Week Definetly ... and he told That you people will like the Froyo Update From Three ...
I dono if they also have people there like XDA , who do Lagfix and other Fixes .... Becz My Orignal 2.1 Three ROM had no LAG no , problems at all ....

Ah well, another day passes and no froyo for me, darnit!

Mmm now that would be lovely -- a fast stable Froyo I do experience lag from time to time -- esp sometimes when receiving a phone call ...

I get that sometimes......usually after three bottles of wine

Not sure whether anyone in this thread will be able to help, but I've got a Galaxy S on Three and am wondering how it'll react when Froyo finally arrives.
You see, in a fit of frustration last month when Samsung said 2.2 was out for the Galaxy S, then suddenly said it wasn't unless you were Norwegian - I tried the Kies registry hack.
That caused weirdness with my phone, and ended up with leaving it only starting in recovery mode. Eventually Kies decided to reflash, and I seem to have ended up with some kind of unbranded firmware.
It shows up in Kies as PDA:JM2/PHONE:JM1/CSC:JM1, and says "This device's version cannot be updated".
Anyone know whether the release of the Three version of Froyo will fix this?
Thanks!

You wont be able to upgrade with 3 unless you get your old software back and the only way i know possible is by using the kies registry patcher.

the official 2.2.1 NOW AVAILABLE!!!

where the hell is the official 2.2.1 update via kies without regHack, spoofer, ecc...?
Any news?
Thanks
Edit: now available JPY for XEU without spoofer xD

They arn't, the 2.2.1 releases are as of yet only leaked beta's or release candidates.
I'd rather have samsung take their sweet time making a solid update then releasing an untested snapshot that makes the phone even worse.

I think it's been released officially for some European countries, which is why people in other locations are able to 'reg-hack' to get it.
And the update(s) don't make the phone even worse - for most part, they are a big improvement over 2.2. WiFi battery drainage seems to be the only niggling issue.

yeah i connect my phone almost everyday to check in case there is FW update but JPO still the latest!! btw ithink most people with jpx are spoofing the Kies and end effect the phone doesn´t run as what we expect such as some setting doesnt work properly and lost a few of apps (this is from what i observe from the thread!) and on that reason i prefer to wait the FW update w/o reg. hack eventhough tired of waiting....but let give some time for a perfect-ish FW!!!

the update is not been released....who had already updated not use reg hack only for have XEU product code, but they use spoofer to go in kies test mode.....
Everybody update from a JPO XEU...i've this firmware, but without spoofer i can't get update....

Released officially for UK.
I'm using reg-hack to update to JPY via Kies since I'm from France. It works very well, best firmware ever.

yeah...now it's available!!!!! i have spoofer disablet and my JPO XEU see the update!!!! Great!!!!! xD

Ive got official update to JPY from JPO on Kies as well. Im gonna go for it

So many people leaving test mode on so much confusion.....

No confusion for me. JPY has been stubbornly unavailable (and I haven't resorted to the Kies hack) and today the update has appeared simply plugging in the phone.
I think now that it is safe to say that it has been "officially" released.

What country
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

UK/XEU
JPY firmware

Well i had thought it official before, no one was sure if it was put out and then withdrawn or they had left kies spoofer on or something else, so forgive our confusion. Good news though if it is and more people confirm that

This should be exactly the same firmware that could be obtained by spoofing, right?

Interesting. I hope there isnt much difference to the one that I flashed yesterday via the reg hack! Dont think i can really be bothered going through all of that again.

I'm in the UK with an XEU phone, and following the info in this thread I decided to try to update.
Connected to Keis and was immediately offered the update to JPY, I updated and it took about 25 mins, with no loss of data.
I've only been playing for about 10 mins but all seems good so far, only time will tell.
Thanks to everyone that have posted bits of info.

Downloading now for UK/HKDXEU, never spoofed or hacked

Is it out official in europe?
Or just the UK ?

I don't know about Europe.. but the 2.1.1 update on the cdma network was just to remove superuser and wifi..(verizon)
I hope its better for you guys tho.
