I have got my SGS about a week. the 2.1 os gives me so many bugs, and it really slow, compare with my Desire.
So, I thought I could flash it with the rom at xda forum. But my phone couldn't go to download mode or recovery mode....
And I had bought a few paid apps and fonts from market. So, I didn't want to lose them.
Today, I wake up in the morning, and search on the samsung mobile site. I saw the update news at Hong Kong site.
it doesn't matter which site you downloaded your kies installation file from.
Here is the magical way!!:::
(before you do update, remove you sd card if you got one, just in case)
1. launch the installation file(if you have installed already, reinstall it)
2. choose the area/country-----Hong Kong
3. choose any lang you like to install
4. connect your SGS to your computer
5. once your phone connected, KIES will show a notification automatically, it says you got a firmware update.
6. follow the steps, and update..
and enjoy the official 2.2 from samsung.
BTW: my phone just finished the updating 10 mins ago..
it's much faster than 2.1, and not laggy anymore..
it's better to do updating on a 32bit windows os. I tried on my windows 7 64bit, it always shows some error msgs I don't understand.
all the apps and fonts i bought are still there. and also, the emails txt everything still there.. you dont need to do anything.
I will post my feedback with this, if you guys need any help, I will answer your questions. but I think it is very easy and simple.
The total ram on 2.2 shows 304MB.
Everything else works fine so far.

the phone I bought is from somewhere in EU.
I think you could do that as well..
I tried it and it did not work for me.
I'm with Bell in Canada.

The right rom only shows up based on your phones product code. otherwise you will need a registry hack.

If in Northern ireland you should have already got the froyo update on o2 if though in the south I guess that comes under a different european o2. What is your phone version number?
Emexrulsier, hi.
Am in the south of ireland where 02
are miles behind. My phone details are :
Firmware v. 2.1-update 1
Baseband v. I9000xxjf3
Kernel v. 2.6.29
Eclair
if you had any suggestions for a froyo wannabe...

Reads to me like its a new method of updating however its just the old old official method that does not work for many as Kies fails to find phone etc .
If you get Kies to work and find your phone you get the update only if your Network has uploaded the firmware .

There is currently no available image of your stock bell firmware for the tab.
I know this as I have two of them
Are you having any issues? (as in, why do you want to flash back to stock)
I am having a hard time rooting. I am using jm6 and currently I cannot flash with Z4root or super one click

I mean root not flash

I am looking for this as well.
Essentially I want to start from total factory reset/from the total beginning.
The problem is the hard reset, is not very hard at all. Wether from the system settings or the recovery menu it doesn't seem to do a TRUE format of the device. There are a lot reminants of previous programs and files... Including the root. My problem is that I want Kies to recognize the damned device.
I recently flashed a new firmware on my phone and would like to return it to the original firmware that came with the Orange branded phone if thats possible?
Go to the XDA wiki page for the Galaxy S series and download 'New PC Studio' from the link on that page. Install it and you can do a factory reset of your phone.
Otherwise you're gonna have to search wildly through Samfirmwares to find the right ROM.

Nope, its working. Read the forums for details
When i apply spoof for NEE it detects software update but then stops just before downloading saying that your device already has the latest version installed.
And mine is froyo 2.2 at present :-(

Oh, you're still using 2.2 ? I'm on 2.2.1 from more than 2months and there is a hell of performance & speed difference in 2.2 & 2.2.1.
I would say just keep away from this ginger update as it is not worth to update.
Flash your SGS with JPJPM which is the 2.2.1 Froyo for Arabic region and it includes Arabic/Urdu/Persian. I'm using it and its excellent. You can read/type in urdu and browse all urdu/arabic websites which you can't on those european roms.
hmm let me check. but i am afraid i wont be able to get official updates through kies after this

No No.. Don't afraid it's very easy. And I am here to help you anytime. But remember to make a backup of efs folder before flashing anything. Don't hesitate to ask any question.
And by the way who uses KIES when there is a lot easier & time saving way.. i.e. Odin..
I flashed my phone using odin to 2.2.1 but then whenever I check the firmware version it said Csc unkown, but I was getting the signal so I let it be.
Now I'm looking forward for the gingerbread update and kies won't show my firmware version due to the csc problem. How can I update it to 2.3.3 now via odin? Help?
Find xwjvb firmware from xda and flash it via odin. Its awsome.

It has no arabic/urdu support bcoz it is released for the european region. And there is no major performance difference in 2.2.1 and this update. So i'm on my 2.2.1 JPJPM which supports urdu/arabic & is very smooth rom just like XXJPY.
We'll have to wait a while b4 they release it for our region
When they release it for our region, i'll switch to that one. Till that time its gud. I didnt find any flaw in this rom except urdu support. It has google maps 3d, new youtube and quite faster than froyo
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Whays quadrant standard rating for JPJPM? and does it have maps 3d?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Well something starnge happened with me. I got through KIES an update yesterday for Gingerbread but did not have time to go through with it. Today KIES shows that my current FW is the latest one. What is wrong here?
get the darkyy patch for arabic.
No idea.. It will take longer as usual..
And you're saying this bcoz you're shifting from 2.2 to 2.3.3. And you did never use 2.2.1.
All those things you're talking about (Maps 3d, New Youtube etc) have been already integrated to 2.2.1.
So for me there is no difference in 2.2.1 & 2.3.3 other than a new visual theme. So i'll stick to JPJPM (Froyo 2.2.1) till they release 2.3.3 for Our region that supports Full arabic/urdu. Asia usually gets update very late compared to European Region.

Just hooked up my i9000m to Kies and got a message telling me an update is available.
PDA: KC1 / PHONE: KC1 / CSC: KC1 (BMC)
What is it?
Froyo 2.2.1?
Gingerbread?
Has it been out for a while?
I haven't hooked up the phone since the last update which fried my SGS by the way...
Can't seem to fin any info on the forum, or anywhere else on the web for that matter, so don't flame me if I'm just too dumb to find it.
Thanx!
update it and let us know
Just installed and it's just 2.2 (not even 2.2.1) according to the phone.

Confirmed, nothing more than some sort of "bug fixing update".
I'd love to see the change log however...
I'm already on 2.3.3 but would love to get my hands on this modem file.
does the upgrade keep all of your settings and installed apps intact?

updated mine and everything is still there except the home screen that came up like the stock one
anyone have a link for info on this update?
my phone disconnects each time the firmeware is about to start in Kies...don't know whats going on. Anyone with the update notice any differences?
If I installed speed mod kernal without lag fix can I just plug into kies to update or do I need to restore default kernal
Anyone care to post the firmware?
Is the modem KC1? I'm curious if we could use this modem with the leaked gingerbread!
Does the update keep the root or should I root again after it?

Ok, updated, rooted, Armenian fonts installed.....
Except for the new style gmail app, does anybody see other differences from jl2?

Anybody mind sharing the modem? This might be a replacement modem for jl2 for a lot of people.
You can extract the modem from your updated phone.
From terminal emulator or adb:
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/bml12
This will save a copy to sdcard.

you can tell if its any different by looking at the 'baseband version' - if its something newer than JL2 then the community would definitely love it!
