YAY MY STORY WAS POSTED TO ANDROID GUYS!!!
UPDATED: So I had to rush home after class and give everyone that definate answer that they long. This was in my email as I finally got a STRAIGHT answer from Google to the question
"Will the people that did the manual update to Froyo still receive the OTA, and did it void the warrenty? Can I get a straight Answer?"
Hi,
The answer is yes and no, respectively. When 2.2 (Froyo) is sent via OTA, everybody will get it, including those who have already manually updated to Froyo. No, your warranty is not voided by manually updating to Froyo. But we do recommend waiting for the OTA if you're still on 2.1 / Eclair.
Cheers,
Ben

Origonal Post:
I found some evidence that supports, all manual user will get the OTA, even if you updated manually.
Hi all,
Thanks for the responses!
Just wanted to give a heads up that the build floating around is not the official Froyo release. You will get an automatic notification when we OTA the build, no need to manually download it. You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat...but I'd highly recommend waiting for our official release
@Bhushan4181: You will get the OTA update as long as you are connected to the internet and can communicate with Google servers.
We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!

From what I am TOLD as long as your manual update came from GOOGLE than it is still a LEGIT and offical update, just not the final, therefor you HAVE NOT voided your warrenty, and will most likely get the OTA so don't panic
P.S Those who did the manual update(me included) I would not worry about trying to roll back to 2.1. They sent out a test build via ota to testers, and when the final build comes i'm sure EVERYONE will get the OTA as it will have a different signature and what-not. How else would they get the final build to the testers?
Beautiful. Only thing missing now is a release date :|
Good find, I think its a no brainer but confirmation is good for some folks that were worried.
yeah good to know....

Ya even I was a little tweaked. Not saying we wouldn't be able to just flash it anyhow even if you are NON root. But there was alot of mixed answers not only here but all over the net, and some people were freaking out

It appears, according to the quote ' We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!' that the build is complete and it may only be the OTA to be sorted.
I hope so anyway
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Let's take a look at that again:
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Just wanted to point that out
There is no question that there must be a newer version of froyo thats coming out. I say that because every forum I visit on this site (and other sites) have people complaining that this and that doesn't work (anymore).

I knew there would be at least one person that would point something out to try to kill the post cause they didn't find it first. Obviously it will be newer. The file that was MANUALLY downloaded was available to the media and what not, so what, they are never gonna get the final OTA. Its common sense. And like I siad even if by what slim chance you don't get the OTA, you will be able to push it manually.
Way to try to kill a post
BTW...

lol nice one ...
I dont find any good reason to give/update the press or the "preview phones" some unfinished or still bugged version of 2.2
For what ? so that they review it (Froyo) and write down all the bad or not working things ... it makes no sense , at least for me ...

BINGO..and what when they find the mistakes...NOT FIX IT...haha, that exactly what I was saying
what about those who installed the OTA manually and then installed the custom recovery image? will they still be able to get the new OTA?

I don't claim to know what happened, but I'm damn sure there is more to all of this.
I cannot believe the degree to which Google has fumbled this Froyo release. They let us all think we might get it at I/O and look where we are now.....another week later...all anyone has gotten is a broken version.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Mickey Mouse time in Mountain View
nice find!
did anyone read this?
maybe we don't have the offical release... yet...

Since I'm still semi new to Android, you miss out on OTA updates if you're rooted right? Does that also mean you miss out if your bootloader is unlocked?

Working on the upgrade now! Using kies btw
What version Kies are you using please? Cause I have nothing on my Kies. And, it still crashes when checking for updates. *sigh*
God, I bet we'll be the last to receive the update, being the buttplug of the world.

Interestingly enough, My version is 15310093 80. Hmmm... We'll see. Maybe they will roll it out tomorrow or something.
I'm using 1.5.3.10093_82 and have the update in Kies. Just need more power on my battry before upgrading.

I just updated my Kies to 1.5.3.10093_82. And I am not getting the update in Kies. I cleaned up my registry after removing the older version. Does that affect getting the update. Secondly I bought my phone from Vodafone Germany.

I'm from Denmark and talking about the released froyo from Kies (JPM) Dunno if all can download it right now, but this is not a test firmware or anything.
oehhh yay.. im anxious sitting @ work now. too ****E that i dont have admin rights to install Kies on my work pc so i have to wait untill tonight to check if the dream is really coming true
You guys are lucky.... waa..
I'm still receiving a "this device version cannot be updated" message!
That could be a problem.
Your Kies should say "Latest firmware already installed".
Maybe someone else can shed some light on that as im not 100% sure.
If it says Device cannot be upgraded it could be a software issue.

Mine was doing this too.. the new update released today (1.5.3) seems to have fixed that for me, although I had to reinstall the drivers as well.
From holland here I updated my galaxy with the new kies version v1.5.3.10093_82
but i didnt update to 2.2 I now have 2.1 update 1 so I ques we will have to wait here in holland for froyo
So much for it getting released worldwide all at once... Sigh.

Yes, should get "Latest firmware already installed" message. But if you get "this device version cannot be updated", that means your product code is "KOR". Product code changed to "KOR" normally if you flashed leaked froyo firmware.
for Singtel, need to change product code back to "XSO". Search forum on how to change product code... about editing the nv_data.bin file...

If you are on AT&T like I was, I never received the ability to get the OTA update. I was able to get it by using Kies Mini at http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=340607. This is for the JI6 update, I hope it works the same for Froyo.
Well i'm on my local which is cincinnati bell. Also how do i know if i have the JI6 update or the JF6? i'm sorry for so many questions but i'm fairfly new to developing and am trying to learn as much as i can because this forum has so much knowledge.
Just to bust everyones bubble, the update currently rolling out is only for the I9000 model(base model) and cannot run on US phones. And I don't see the US carriers releasing this anytime soon to us and they always take the slow road. At the moment I am thing that a mid November US carrier release sounds about right. But I really hope that I am wrong!!!!

I hope you are right and not wrong, I wouldn't mind the update in November because that's probably the quickest time, we will get it officially. (now to 10/31/2010 will be JI6 OTA, so november sounds good to me).
Since T-Mobile took its sweet time getting JI6 out, with no problems unlike what I heard about the Captivate update, then I wouldn't mind waiting for it to come out during the holidays.

Once you open ROM manager there is a option that says "Check for ROM updates"
Under that it says "your ROM is not set up to reveive OTA updates. Please contact the ROM developer!" In those exact words down to the exclamation point.
That is for custom rom like cyanogen whenever it come out. The rom manager has no control over the stock rom

According to people, you should (assuming your t-mobile) but there is a high chance you might soft brick. Unroot yourself just to be safe when you do apply the update.

Since you're unlocked and not using the T-Mobile network, you won't be able to get T-Mobile's OTA updates but you can still update your phone officially by using Samsung Kies Mini (or if you're brave enough, you could be able to flash it with ODIN as soon as someone releases the update on the dev forums). ATM, I wouldn't be bothering with Froyo just yet since T-Mobile hasn't made a peep about it. I'll just wait for it to appear via Kies Mini (well, either that or just ODIN it).
Is this the version that is supposed to be new?
I am downloading it now.
Do we have a list of changes? Is this the KIES that will give us FROYO ?
Whoever has answers, feel free.
Just wondering here, which part of the world are you in? I dont see the new kies yet. Canada.

Every time Samsung release a new version of Kies people start dreaming about the release of froyo…. If that were the case we would be running Android 5.7 already
Spoke with 3 mobile uk yesterday.Impression i got was Froyo will not be released any time soon because its buggy.

can you give a link on new kies. now i'm download but see that old kies.
This might be REALLY bad news.
The reg hack no longer works ! If you change it and then try update it retrieves the info again from the phone and so resets it to whatever is on the phone
This means anyone who updated to the latest 2.2 Kies release are stuck with whatever product code they have now if they only want to use KIES
they seem to have more time working on stupid kies instead of the long awaited froyo... Freaks

Do you honestly think that only ONE team of develloppers are working at samsung?
Bad news? Power User still will be able to flash using odin, wich is apparantly better than kies at this, it will also prevent all users to "overtake" their servers while it's supposed to be in one particular country.

I believe it came as an Auto-Update, which checked the versions when u opened up Kies.
I got a message about new firmware update available for my 3g international version (rooted) today. I was out of network connection when I saw it so I haven't tried downloading it yet. Any idea what it is? ICS possibly?
Hello techspy,
I got the same notice, however unfortunately I am at work and there is now WLAN connection available. I will try it later at home. ( I have no root!)
Greetings
Its not ICS...only 11.87 megs Dang...
Wonder what the update is? Hope I don't lose root.
no notification on my UK tab 7.7 - even when I query the update manually.
what is the update?
Well I just installed the update. It says "Device updated to version P6800ZSLA2". No idea what was changed/updated
no Update
no notification on my tab 7.7 - even when I query the update manually.
No updates for me also.
Nothing on my end.
Actually u guys no need to too excited for waiting or hoping this is ics, before an official release, it must has a leak on device like flagship, as long as here doesnt have a leak version, i wont expect any official ics update
