Australian Froyo OPTUS JP5 finally available now through Kies! - Galaxy S I9000 General

Just plugged my phone in to kies to check for update and finally official froyo for optus is available!

woohoo! now i just gotta figure out how to be able to update after flashing different roms. flashed back original firmware via odin but it dont seem to work through kies still

I'm in a similar boat, upgraded a while back to 2.2 using the registry edit (before the update was recalled).
Any ideas on how to go about upgrading to the official optus version?

You might've had your IMEI etc corrupted like I did... only a Samsung service centre can fix that (well I hope anyway... gotta see on the weekend)

Do a search on the forums for Kies Registry Patcher. I used that program to get the download working.

Thanks for that bud, any cool new optus bloatware?
The only app I liked was the optus usage widget, does it still show errors?

Same bloatware. Haven't noticed anything new. MyAccount seems to be working fine at the moment. As per usual feels smooth and real good at the moment. I give it a week before the lag returns.
Note. I have 7 pages of apps.
EDIT: By MyAccount I mean the usage app. The widget still gives errors tho.

its ur product code that becomes changed and a simple flash doesnt fix that. theres a way u can flash the csc and then enter *#272*YOUR IEMI# and that will flash back the propper code but im hard pushed getting it to work.
its not my iemi my iemi is still exactly the same thank fcuk lol

some of the Virgin phones had Optus firmware and therefore had Optus apps.
in 2.1 there was one app and 6 shortcuts to the Optus portal.

Thanks for the info, worked great

Anyone fixed this for non-Kies yet? IE, decrypt code for the .zip.enc

I updated with the reg hack when it was first being done a month or so ago. Thought today I'll update with the optus version, and downloaded the program to use with kies to make it work.
Anyway, just updated kies and connected my phone and it said that a firmware update was available, so I'm trying that first. Don't know what it is as such since I didn't think it would show. I think I remember seeing it say something about an upgrade to JPA or something. Oh well, we'll see.
ps - people like me who don't know what they're doing shouldn't be doing this stuff . But it's edge of the seat, flying by the seat of my pants fun!!!!

Would be good if Samfirmware can get a hold of this so that we can flash it via Odin
Hint Hint

Finally updated mine to Froyo.
I did get some FCs after it rebooted, mainly from the Optus bloatware so I think its fine
Also, although the update is non-destructive. Its still removed my desktop shortcuts and replaced it with the default one (1 page of some shortcuts and 6 pages of blank)
I noticed Samsung have their own turn by turn navigation app as well, looks cool. Will try that out later.
Question! Can I use Voodoo (Beta 4) to lagfix this?

just that the weather on the homepage of my touchflo didn't update untilI ran the quickgps app
Weather application is not linked to quick GPS but HTC location service.....assume you have enabled that... btw it is not a very stable program
Sometimes you have to update more than ones......and finding your current location with google maps helps.....
have ur ISP settings set to ur mobile operator , connect to update , just for 1 second and turn it of , i mean the connection , update QuickGPS and try again .... i'm not really sure if this helps but everytime i do somethin in my internet settings , the Weather tab resets it's places hope it updates properly now !
still nothing.
couple months ago i downloaded some file from xda which fixed this problem, but now i done hard reset and i can't find it anymore on xda

I've sent 2 times a support form to t-mobile in germany, asking if they would be delivering the weather fix for the german market... so far no answer. The first time was right after the fix was posted by htc in December, the second time I posted this was a week ago.
No answer whatsoever.

And may be they wont do it mate.
Quite propable, that they won't do it. The same behaviour has been with other german t-mobile branded phones - too much hassle to properly test patches etc, with no real possibilities that it would bring money in.
I'll follow the hspl stuff how it advances and after some observation period will flash myself too.
After all I've been flashing my Blackstone and Kaiser for a while, so this is not a big issue. My wife is using the phone and she doesn't have the "same urge" to have her phone flashed

whoa. just having said that previous thing... going to the ROM section and finding out, that T-Mobile has released a new ROM just today

Optus Usage Widget

The actual app from Optus works a treat, but the widget just says "There was an error displaying your usage". Anyone else having trouble with it?
Same problem here. Nfi how to fix.
No luck here either.
If it actually worked, took up less space on the screen (maybe 4 icon spots or less instead of 8!!!), and usage was updated more regularly (delayed up to 24hrs tsch...) then it would be perfect.
But alas, it fails. Still, I keep the app on my homescreen.
Not sure what issues you guys are having, im running Version 1.0(1) and it works fine!
do you know by any chance the link to download this app?

Have you tried the widget, not just the app? Cause it's the widget that doesnt work for us (should display the usage but errors).
Also I think theres only 1 version out atm.

No worries.
Sorry I wasn't quite clear in my wording...
I meant I dumped the optus app before I upgraded firmware.
I flashed to JFB, then JFF, then JG1. I can't notice many improvements... In fact my phone is a bit more laggy at JG1 (but I have more apps installed so I presume it's that).
I would flash to JG3 but... I don't wanna have to restore all my settings and data again... (done it about 5 times).
I wouldn't mind having a copy of original AUS firmware for safety reasons... or at least the CSC (contains all the carrier specific info).
It's doing the same thing for me. Curses.
ahh common problem I see. wonder how this stuff is logged...

Hey guys, quick 2 Optus-related questions. Switched from 3 to them when I bought my Galaxy S yesterday.
1) How can you find out your account number? I've registered a username and password for using the My Account app, but it wants an Account Number that it states will be on my bill, the first of which I obviously won't be receiving for a while...
2) Is there a backup of the stock Optus firmware (JF3) including all the pre-loaded apps just in case any of us ever need to return the phone under warranty to load it back to its factory settings and firmware?
Cheers!
1) It's annoying you don't get it when you first sign up, but it's written on your first bill (pro-rata which is only a few days).
Apparently you can also call up optus and get it off customer service, however I didn't know this so I just waited.
2) No there isn't a proper flashable dump, unfortunately. If you do decide to flash your firmware (it's worth it if you can't wait for official updates.. which are very slow).

Aha, found them thanks to the awesomeness of Ausdroid!

^ use those to find the APNs for all aussie networks once you've flashed a new firmware. Make sure you have wifi turned off when you enter the info, and once the settings are in press menu -> save and within a few seconds the 3G icon in the notification bar appeared.

Kies Mini Specifically for Vibrant... and JI6 update instructions from Samsung

Samsung officially releases the JI6 Manual update through KIES MINI FOR VIBRANT.
goo.gl/jiL4
The link has instructions and download link for Kies Mini.
This Kies version is specifically made for US Version Vibrant.
And this Kies right now supports only one function - To update to JI6. (looks like they wanted to make a point)
Well if this for real and it kind of looks like it, it makes sense to keep Samsung apps not compeating with a possible tmoble app store, it protects Tmobile's bandwidth with no Kies tethering and it would be possibly a better way to roll out Froyo in the future than an OTA.
Not mention the piece of bull turd Kies is as software. And the seemingly many peaple with OTA problems and those who just can't wait for an OTA.
Did Samsung and Tmobile do somthing good? Not sure.
Edit:
Follow all instructions and read threads!... and read threads! This list is from me reading threads, I am not a Mod, I am nobody. THIS NOT A COMPLETE LIST just some known issues:
1. It seems you need stock JFD firmware to update, some flashed mods seem to be no problem, but they will be lost. You can get them back but use JI6 version mods.
2. uninstall all lag fixes. NO UPDATES WORK WITH LAG FIXES!
3. You will likely loose root but can get it back.
4. Some have had to use Usb debugging mode or Kies mode to have phone recognized by Kies mini.
5. uninstall all previous Kies software. Before installing Kies Mini.
6. Some report if you use it, to switch from Launcher Pro to stock launcher for Kies to work properly.
7. And allways back up your stuff prior to doing anything like this.
Again, this is not a compleat list... just trying to answer the same questions over and over again.... SHEESH
Good luck,
Don

I just finished updating with this..
Samsung finally has answered our calls!!
I updated from Stock to JI6 in 5 minutes with just one button click.
Not only this is very easy, this comes from SAMSUNG...
Looks like even Samsung is fed up with T-Mobile... They don't want to spoil their phone's reputation any more and are taking things in their hand..
This is the kind of communication that should come from tmo or samsung. Sure this link is out there but it is not advertised publicly...hell I cant even get to that link from tmo or samsung...
Let's hope it doesn't have the same issue as the full Kies - Could not apply new firmware.
Tried running this on my Win 7 64bit box and Kies Mini just crashes every time. According to the site it only supports 32bit windows. Anyone had luck with 64bit box?
update: Tried it on my Win 7 Ult 64bit laptop and worked like a charm.
Just for grins, I tried this out after flashing back to stock. Worked perfectly on my Win7 Home Premimum 64bit. Haven't done any real testing but did a quick look for Slinbox and Fandango on Market and found both.
trying this now, I was unable to get kies to recognize my phone.

I could see them after an update but they were gone after installing something from the market. Can you still see them after installing something?
I wonder if they released this now to get everything worked out so we can update to 2.2 and avoid the hassle of waiting for OTA's in the future. It would be easier on us and them. Looks like a step in the right direction.
tornado76, I didn't install anything from market but I did install the lastest Market APK. As soon as I did that, couldn't find some apps.

Samsung did the same for the Captivate. It has nothing to do with T-Mobile but rather avoiding the buggy regular Kies application for updating the firmware.. where you guys come up with this stuff I don't know.

one thing i notice off the bat is that it takes a longer or "full swipe" for the stock lockscreen to clear.
Great! They released it today, and today is the day that I got the courage to update my phone through odin.
I hope that when froyo comes out they will do the same.

oh is there sounds good i will have to check it out.
i cant see youtube on mine and im still on 4.1.1
its a shame that you cant have all your apps in multi window without rooting your device and that, pretty annoying tbh.
i think i read you can modify the appone by one but thats long specially if u have to update the app etc n have lots of apps on your device
This is update for those who DIDN'T have 4.1.2 before?
Or is this update an update ON TOP of 4.1.2?
This is the official update for the UK to 4.1.2 as we seem to have been waiting for a long time. Cannot comment on whether it is any different to other countries 4.1.2 but nice to see I can now run standard Android Twitter client as a multi-window app.
Could anyone upload this firmware? I can't download it from kies as im not on official firmware
Might be on sammobile.com...
Not on Sammobile at the moment.
Dont remember seeing lecture notes & papyrus as multi window apps prior to the update today, but they are in the list now for sure.
New apps added with multi-window on my Note are:- Astro File Manager, ChatOn, Chrome, Facebook, Gmail, Google Maps, MX Player, Google Talk, Twitter and YouTube. I know I had Papyrus in 4.1.1 and I think I may have had MX Player but not sure on that one.
Multi-window seems a little difficult to make work sometimes - the multi-window button appears in the bottom right corner on some of these and doesn't always work, seeming to activate whatever is under the button. Also can't see the button anywhere on Papyrus - how does it work on here - this would be really useful for me?

Lads if I used the Exynos exploit root patch to root my 8010 can I just do the OTA update and then the device will return back to stock i.e. not rooted?

S8/S8+ Oreo Beta is live!!!

There's 10,000 slots available instead of the Sammobile reported 7500 slots available. Once you click a few agreements, you get in automatically but then nothing happens. You have to force the update by going into Settings\Software update. The update happens normally then. The settings menu has changed quite a bit, Oreo is MUCH snappier (especially reboots), and some icons have changed. The warning in the last screenshot comes up automatically about 20 seconds after each reboot. Good luck getting in!!! :highfive:

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.

You have to be either a T-Mobile or Sprint customer or have the unlocked model. It won't appear for anyone else. It will ONLY show up in the Samsung+ app. If you don't see it on the main screen, use the 3 dot menu on the left to see if it shows up there like the screenshot I posted.

Sure, you could flash the modem if anyone could get the OTA but I'm pretty sure it'd be quite difficult. Since we're not rooted, you'd literally have to catch the OTA transmitting over your WiFi network onto your PC and then extract it. Which reminds me....
@bogdi1988 - Perhaps it's not showing up for you because you're not connected to a WiFi network. Make sure you're logged in to your Samsung account in Galaxy Apps and that all your Samsung Apps are up to date (the only way they update is when on WiFi.) Then check the Samsung+ app to see if it shows up for you. Hope this helps.

Samsung account signed in. All apps are updated. Tried wireless and cell signal and no prompt. Reinstalled the app a few times. Still nothing.

What about the basic stuff like: adb logcat > file.txt
Then check for updates, extract the url and manually download the OTA?

I updated hours ago and have rebooted several times since updating. I don't think I'd have a chance of finding the file name at this point. It would've been best to start a logcat right before initializing the OTA.

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.
You have to be either a T-Mobile or Sprint customer or have the unlocked model. It won't appear for anyone else. It will ONLY show up in the Samsung+ app. If you don't see it on the main screen, use the 3 dot menu on the left to see if it shows up there like the screenshot I posted.

My "upgrade" did not go well. Turns out that package disabler pro is not playing nice with this update. I kept getting Android system has stopped and couldn't even load the main home screen. I gave up finally and hard reset and resintalled all my apps. I also had a pretty bad problem with the battery draining faster than it was charging on a wall plug. Factory reset was a pain to reinstall everything (still ongoing as I need apps, I reinstall them) but the battery issue has disappeared. Can't tell if WiFi is any better. Opinions on this release would be most welcome.

You're complaining about a third party app that disables stock apps that is NOT updated to support Oreo yet not playing nice with a Beta build??? Absurd. I'm quite sure the upgrade went as smoothly for everyone else as it did me.
As for my feedback, I haven't noticed a single hiccup with the build. It doesn't feel like a Beta. It seems like it could've been a final/official build.
Samsung+ never showed the update to me. Oh well. :crying:
Yes, I'm on T-Mobile S8+ in US.

It's not about "showing" it to you. They're pushing it to almost everyone. I spoke with 3 other guys who signed up and registered through the Samsung app and it pushed it on the next update.

So you see, I don't think my Samsung account is registered to their Beta program. I have never seen links to do so.
I guess as a small consolation, Samsung/TMo pushed a Nougat update out: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U/TMB/download/G955USQU1AQJ8/193749/

LOL, that wasn't a "complaint" that was an observation. As noted by the no complaint and an observation comment. As far as not noticing it's a beta, would that be between the 15 or so times per minute that the software pops up a warning that this is beta software and may not work as well as expected and may cause problems? That not obvious it's a beta message? Also, the bad battery drain was an issue. That shouldn't happen no matter what.
