yesterday i upgraded my galaxsy s (voda) to froyo with kies , so for all those people eagerly waiting for froyo update time has come.
CAUTION: almost bricked my gt i9000 in the update process, plz make sure to unroot your device before you start the upgrade as kies will brick your rooted i9000 without any warning.
cheers
I updated a rooted device without any problems (vha phone&unlocked sim) through kies. Was a bit worried but no dramas. Undid OCLF but couldn't get OCLF on 2.2. Installed one click voodoo instead and just fixed 3-button combo. Ready to go!!!
Make sure UNDO OCLF

Good Afternoon everyone,
My partner has a Samsung Galaxy Apollo (Which I beleive is I5801?). She still has Android 2.1 and is getting annoyed with it as it has bugs and she can't use Internet Tethering.
I have checked on Kies and there is no update is there anyway I can get 2.2 on it?
I have seen this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858569
There is no actualy one that says Froyo next to a I5801 but can the I5800 go on the Apollo? If not has anyone managed to get 2.2 working on the Apollo and how because I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a way.
Thanks,
Max
You can flash i5800 firmwares on to i5801s, but remember to remove boot.bin and sbl.bin to keep your i5801 boot screen. There are certain risks like losing IMEI and/or WiFi MAC address. Just flash the i5800 froyo firmwares with Odin, there is a guide on it somewhere in the section.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Thanks. I will have a look into that tomorrow then and get ready to flash
Hey guys,
my dad bought his SGS on eBay and he got it with Froyo/JPN.
He never updated the rom since he got the phone, last year.
But now he wants to install the official Kies-Version but Kies says, that he can't update from his JPN-Rom.
Normally, I'd just backup everything and flash an official ROM via Odin, but that is not what my dad wants.
The situation is a bit complicated and I don't wanna go to much into detail.
The fact is, I need a way to get the official Gingerbread without loosing all data of the phone.
Any ideas?
Hello folks
So far, I was waiting for some update from Papa to get us a nice LC4 rooted kernel with CWM, but given the activity of the japanese forum that doesn't seem to be happening for now.
After many attempts and some cold sweat, here is what I could figure out.
- Once the update to LC4 is done, it's pretty hard to come back to a former version. None of the KLx series can be flashed, or so it seems. Your only hope is to go back to a SC02BOMJJ1 rom (Froyo) and then start upgrading again.
- The KLx series cannot be rooted using the zergrush, or so it seems.
- Once your phone is rooted with zergrush, the update to the Value Pack seems to keep the root (that's what I read on a japanese forum).
So, to progress a little, what I'd need is a 2.3.3 stock rom, like for instance the SC02BOMKF2.
Once someone can get us that
1) roll back to JJ1 (Odin + JJ1 stock + PIT)
2) upgrade to KF2 (Odin + KF2 stock)
3) root with zergrush
4) upgrade to LC4 (not Odin, using the NTT Docomo update)
and it shall be working as far as I read.
I have the JJ1 files here if somebody needs them, but anyone with a 2.3.3 stock rom ???
hello sir, im a sc02b user too, actually i now have the SC02BOMLC4 value pack on my phone and nothing seems to be new from the last update (KL4). Anyways, ive got my phone rooted but i have to use the kyapat10mod3 to get rooted, yeah that's right my kernel is still SC02BOMKL4 and nothing seems to be worried about im still using my phone now. OC and Memory freak are still working. What I want for our phone is to get some compatible ROMs e.g. CM9, DARKNIGHT, etc. ive already tried the CM9 and its pretty cool but it cannot detect any sim card it has no baseband and EMEI as well. Have a good day..c:
Hey guys
I have a Galaxy note 3 with Rogers here in Canada (SM-N900W8) and I know there has been 2 updates released (MJ1 and MJ4) but I havent been able to update over the air because my phone is rooted and flagged and my knox trigger is flagged as well.
Using Wanam xposed I have my status set to official and I can download the new update but the installation will fail.
Anyway so I connected my phone to KIES and it says I can update, however before I update it says if my phone is rooted its possible I can brick my phone.
So my questions are, 2 install these updates (MJ1 and MJ4), will it brick my phone? If it doesnt will I lose my root? Can I reroot on these latest firmwares and lastly is there reasons why maybe I should stay at my current firmware?
Sorry if this has been asked before. Ive tried searching and I didnt have much luck
Thanks

Short answer is NO.
I updated mine via KIES to MJ7 (I'm on the N9005) - while rooted. KIES says you "may" encounter problems but mine was fine and I re-rooted with ease (already tripped KNOX so no worry there for me) _- as for your firmware on the N900W8 - not sure if you can root with the latest firmware or not personally
So I'm new to Samsung (switched from HTC One to Nexus 5 (2013) to Galaxy S5 today). I used Chainfire's Odin tool to root (was easy enough), but now I'm getting a notification telling me there is an update, which because my phone is "modified" I can't run. I downloaded the Kies3 application and this is the info I'm getting:
Current firmware version : PDA:NC9 / CSC:NC6 / PHONE:NC9 (DBT)
Latest firmware version : PDA:NCE / CSC:NC7 / PHONE:NCE (DBT)
Can I update or do I run the risk of bricking? Or will I just lose root? Will the root tool work after this upgrade? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
A guy on a T-Mobile S5 subforum says he took the update and then rooted with Chainfire afterwards.
He was not rooted prior to the update though.
did it work?
because i had a problem with it

I finally bit the bullet and just did it, update went fine using Kies and then I re-rooted and installed custom recovery...everything seems fine. The only thing that blows my mind is the bloatware on this monster..."Android optimizing....429 apps" !!!
