but i allready have this version. i checked it with *#1234" and the other update is froyo but isn't official yet.
so i think problem solved

It might mean you are on the latest fw.. but atleast for me, my phone was still on JF3, the post bellow helped me to get the JM1 fw, while previously i was getting the same message as you.
No links allowed for me yet.. The title of the post is "Kies firmware update without using (all of) Kies!"

i cant follow anymore. i have the latest version on my phone but kies says there is an update but cant install it???

Here we go again: LATEST_FW_VERSION: I9100XWKE2/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2

Seems like they're on a roll. Build date 6th May.
Available via Kies, don't have an ODIN link yet.
Download link for ODIN: Megaupload or multiupload

Jesus Christ. Is there a change log somewhere?

Wow. It sucks that stuff was broken in the first place but you've got to give Samsung credit for staying on top of it and turning these releases around. I'm glad I won't have my phone until tomorrow. I'll be able to skip some of the gymnastics. I really hope this one nails the battery issues.

ODIN ODIN ODIN. I already froze Kies, and have no intention of unfreezing it, lol.

lol this is fun, well i will get use to using odin i guess so its a good thing, let us know when u have the link
Please

Uploading Odin version now (is no one will beat me to it)

Come again?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AM2P1S22

is that baseband or build number?
because my basband is kdj
and is this for unlocked uk versions?

Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/7OCBLBD7V9

Would anyone be kind enough to upload the new kernel on it's own or tell me how to extract it from the files so that I can re-flash after rooting

If you have XWKE1, you have the latest baseband. But this update will still give you a PDA update.
Kies only release them as a package, that's why you have to apply it all, even though you only need the PDA update.
Yes, it is unlocked UK version.
If you have Korean or O2 versions, please check your Kies for updates, do not use these files.

Thanks for the link, only just woke up and got so excited that theres another firmware I didn't look

Thanks very much for the download links. Flashed with odin keeping eyes open for any noticeable differences!

Kies is downloading the firmware now...
Anyone know if we can still successfully root after this update?

Yep, just rooted. All is still good

Why Does the filename say XEUKD1 whereas the latest PDA version is XEUKD2? Is that a mistake or the PDA updates to XEUKD1

New to Samsung flashing.. Do i just flash the tar file as PDA in Odin?

Just updated 02 simfree all fine

Finished updating.
Don't see any immediate changes...

[Tutorial] Flashing Back to Froyo 2.2.1 from Gingerbread

Hello XDA Forumer,
If you are a little crazy like me who is having fun playing around with your Samsung Galaxy Ace, then you've thought of going back to froyo as well after applying 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) or any ROM.
Here's the tutorial: http://s.chinoyray.com/groups/samsu...lashing-back-to-froyo-2-2-1-from-gingerbread/

Yeaahh me too just flash back to froyo.. Wanna feel to get official gingerbread release maybe this upcoming month..

Still no available update.

and other method if you want to back stock froyo
download S5830XWKB7 MULTI-CSC-OXXKB6 2.2.1 @ samfirmware.com,
flash it succesfully and then open your ace, now "call" *#272*YOUR-IMEI#
and change CSC correct (in Finland we use NEE), now you can get updates over kies!

For those in Philippines: SMA = Smart, GLB = Globe, XTE = Sun, XTC = multiple.

When CM7 comes do we have to flash back to froyo or we can easily switch from our custom ROMs based on xxkph to CM7?

salamat..malaking tulong to sa mga kababayan nten..lalo na sa mga ace users..

A bricked phone means even if you press POWER+HOME button or POWER+HOME+VOLUME DOWN and nothing happened even if your phone is fully charged, then that is bricked. If it's bricked, you cannot do anything to your phone now. Say bye bye to it.
BUT
If you press POWER+HOME or POWER+HOME+VOLUME DOWN buttons and your phone went to recovery or download mode, then it is not bricked and you can just reflash any firmware you want to restore. Upgrade, downgrade, it's all up to you.

No need to flash back to froyo. In theory, you can move to a Custom ROM based on the dev's requirement. (XXKPH for Gingerreal as an example)

What is the original firmware for the Netherlands?

unable to check for firmware update thru kies
Hello,
I'm from Malaysia. I've successfully downgraded my phone from gingerbread KPH to froyo DXKC1. When I connect my phone to KIES, it says that this firmware cannot be upgraded. May I know what am I missing here? I was hoping to check for official firmware upgrade thru KIES.

SEA ginger isn't listed on KIES, yet. but you can call your local SSC and ask them about ginger upgrade. most of them already have new SEA ginger (well atleast in indonesia).
try re-flasing (please make sure that you use full package / complete file.
i've tried once, from KPH (blackhawk rom), to DXKC1, succeed, kies can detect my phone normally and chek for update.
i got a case of bad luck though. earlier today. bricked my ace from going from fla.shX2.2 to DXKC1 (the same file i use previously)

You must install csc for your country. *#272*imei#
Then select your csc and click install. Of course this only works is you flashed a multi csc with your country in it.

What is the latest UK Unbranded firmware

What is currently the latest UK I9505 firmware at the moment. I have I9505XXUAMDM, but see I9505XXUBMGA floating around being the latest UK firmware, but I don't see it in Kies or OTA.
Thanks

Hi,
MDM is really quite old now.
If you have not got the option to OTA upgrade,you might consider the Pre-rooted ROM
You still remain "Official".

Hi,
If you are still 100% Official (unrooted etc.) , then , talk to your carrier.

Best thing to do imho is uninstall Kies (except the drivers) and flash whatever unbranded Euro rom you want with Odin 3.04. See www.sammobile.com/firmware/1 for available roms.

Thanks, think I'll flash with odin

The latest German unbranded DBT MGA rom is very good, running it myself :good:

Im on Vodafone UK and my phone was still MDM without any kies updates. but had issue with sd slot so sent for repair it came back with MEA which defaults of Korean or something.

I think this is the latest uk Firmware I9505XXUBMGA i flashed it in odin cos kies dont like me lol
i have it in dropbox if u need it quick

I could do with MGA as well please. I'm still stuck on MDM.

Can I install this ROM?

So I found this on the XDA home page. It says SM-935A is required (I have SM-935U) BUT I thought that model number mostly applies to which carrier you're using...So if I flash the lates AT&T version via Odin can I then update to this Oreo build? Here's the article:

You need to get to AT&T firmware first , and then flash this update.

Thanks. I might hold off till there's a more stable build. If I didn't need to wipe everything I might give it a try.
But in case I change my mind, you extract the update.zip and apply update from sdcard, right?

So I currently have it installed. The only issue I'm having so far is that the light on my heart beat sensor is lighting up whenever anything gets extremely close to it.
