[Q] Is it worth upgrading from JF3 to JPY

Hi there,
I've a galaxy s running 2.2.1 I think, kies reports the current firmware version is JF3, but the latest is JPY.
I only got it to this state last week, and am not sure I can be bothered upgrading and having to set up bookmarks etc again.
Can anyone tell me the benefits of JPY compared to JF3?
Thanks

you can check the android version in "about this phone", not only the firmware code name.
Any Android 2.2.1 *stable* (not leaks) for the Galaxy S is fine in my opinion. Changes are usually minimal from version to version.
But i'm not sure if JF3 is 2.2.1.

Jf3 is 2.1, a really slow version.
Upgrading to jpy is deffinetly worth it.
You get tons of new things like flash player.
And its much, much faster.

You are not alone I have been facing the same problem with updating kies.
Mine reports the update, downloads it 100% but download bar still reportsas 40% & then says internet connection lost want to retry?
I say yes! does the same looping over & over again. I have downloaded over 3-4 gb in name of kies update but it has never updated.
The most messed up program I have ever used is Kies, seems some dumb guys are developing this who do not even understand how computer works.
The solution would be not to update instead download the new version> uninstall the old version & install the newer version.
The screenshot shows it already has downloaded twice the amount of data what the update size is.

This seems to be a higher version than what kies is officially reporting as update v2.0.0.11032_12
The link you provided is downloading Kies_2.0.0.11033_25
Is it ok to install with I9003, hope nothing goes wrong further as i am already fed up with this stupid software.

Uninstalled the older version & reinstalled the new version all seems to be working till now, its reporting me a new Firmware update & I will try updating it too but I hope it doesn't loop again & again as it was doing last time.

_12 is actually newer than _25. _25-January build. _12=February build.

Here i get 32_12 as new version - update date from today (2011-03-28).

I was having the same problem with kies saying it had lost connection so i turned off my kaspersky internet security and then install the kies update

Old new!?
People with non rooted phones do not surf around much in developer section

I'm running on Rooted KE8.. Rooted using CF Root with insecure kernel method (chainfire). Can I use Odin to flash the new firmware (on an already rooted phone), or will my phone get bricked. No worries about losing root; i'll just root it again once I update the firmware.

No update for me
No update for me here.
Kies still not detecting any new firmware. I am in KE8.
Why is that?

updated to new KF3;
Its more fluid then previous one ;
didn't noticed any other enhancement

Were you already rooted?

Your device does not support software upgrading via kies

Got Samsung Galaxy s2 onebay, instead of old one, that died.
When connecting to KIES i see this message " your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
I did search on forum and understood that it can be because phone was rooted, and that it is possible to put phone in un-rooted state
but i not really understood how
*#1234# gives me the following
PDA I9100TJIKJ1
PHONE I9100TJIKI2
CSC I9100TCELKJ1
Can anyone please help me proceed for un-root?
all i want it's to update to IceCreamSandwich firmware
thank you very much - hope for any advice, have read so many pages here - head going to explode soon!!!

You'll need to find that firmware and re flash with Odin. www.sammobile.com/firmware

Than flash the official GB .!

here i found firmware file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221236
i ve read how to flash with odin
What is GB?
Is it any risks flashing with odin?

GB = Gingerbread. Which is somewhat irrelevant since you're seeking to go to ICS.
You appear to have an I9100T from the Middle East region. If I were you, I would go to www.sammobile.com and download an appropriate I9100T firmware from that region to flash. There is one ICS firmware for that model and region available.
And of course there are risks using Odin. If you don't know what you're doing, or use a firmware that isn't meant for your phone, you can easily brick your device.

i had the same problem a while ago. usually you need to sign into samfirmware site but try this link, it worked for me

This is because Your Csc (movinanad) is unknown.
Try this:
1.Backup your data.
2. Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
3. Use the app to change your CSC (Movinanad) code to your country.
After this process, kies should work with your phone now.
Note: the process will factory reset your phone, so please backup first.

Flashed former stock firmware kernel with odin.yes it was worked.connect with kies..accepted..updated again latest version and root with odin.

It happens when CSC/PHONE/PDA mismatch.Best option is to download latest firmware for your model and flash using Odin.

I get the same problem like you guys, kies says your device does not support software update....
And i have I9100XWKI8 software. And i have installed it through odin. But i need to update it. So please guys can you help?

Similar Issue
Hi there, I have a similar problem. I tried to root my phone, as I wanted to unlock it using a chainfire program, using a cnet program
I wasn’t sure which unsecure kernal to use, but i was told it didn’t matter if I was going to put a secure kernal back in, once rooted, problem is the root never properly worked, and when it would reboot I would get the samsung screen with yellow triangle and then it went black, so I tried getting to the stock using galaxys2root
but then got stuck in a boot loop, so I then had to do a factory reset through the recovery boot mode, which was fine and my phone is on, obviously all my data (apps and progress is gone) not a lot to be done there, but my OS is different, I had recently (about 2weeks ago) had an update, so when I pulled the task manager bar down, it would scroll as there were more than just 5 options to be quick clicked. also I was able to put my app menu in alphabetical order as well as little things like option to show battery % and different icon images, more defined and realistic, so basically I appear to be on an older OS but I am unable to update through my phone and kies as well, as it tells me my firmware is not supported for upgrade through kies.
I believed I was on a ICS version, though reading up about latest firmware there seems to be a later version, but apparently jelly bean? I had reason to believe JB was earlier than ICS, but maybe not? I am currently 4.0.3. If I recall I was 4.1 something though I am not 100%, but I know this OS is earlier.
Basically I miss my previous OS and dunno what more to do, extensive search is driving me brain dead, any help possible?
I also have found an accidental screenshot from my previous OS homepage and have taken a recent one just so you can see the smaller things I am describing, and hoping it helps. - can't post links yet in order to show you the exact pictures and webpages used.
Hope I am in the right place for this, also, I am not completely thick when it comes to technology and software either just better at computers haha.
Thanks in advance for any help!

ICS update for P6810 HK version

Hey everyone,
Just thought that I should share with everyone here. I just got a notification on my stock tab 7.7 WiFi only hk version to update to ics.
It is downloading the 218MB update at home. Will keep everyone update on how it goes.
Anyone can tell me how to take the file and share it with everyone, I will do so and post of on here.
FYI. I tried to download the stock UK update and flash on mine but it was still having the WiFi dropping issue.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I checked this morning for the update. The Auto Update did not give any notification. So I checked manually for any updates and I got the notification that a Firm ware update to ICS for my device was available. I completed the download and then tried to complete the installation. It failed and advised me to use Kies. I did that and the update was successful. ICS is now on my P6810 WiFi only 7.7. So you may have to use Kies to fully complete the update.
I have no issue yet with WiFi drop. Time will tell.

Moved To General​
This in no way can be considered development, post in the correct section.​

How about the battery life?
Currently i am using XXLQ1, satisfied of the battery life

anyone experiencing better battery life in the hk one?

So far I have not noticed an increase or decrease in battery life. I was satisfied with the Honeycomb battery life on the 6810 anyway though.

Same battery life for me, as well. It may change after I restore to factory settings, but I doubt it will.

I have updated to the Hong Kong Version. I found that the MAC address has been changed. (I tried Australia, and CM9 from locerra. All 4.0.4 firmware changed the MAC address.)
The WiFi is stable than other 4.0.4 firmware. The Wifi is still the best in HC.
I also found that the Wifi-A doesn't work properly.
