When froyo comes out, how will i get it?

Hi all
I have the XXJPK Froyo installed (it was like this when i bought it from a second hand shop) and i wondered how i will upgrate to stock 2.2 when it comes out?
Will kies recognise a newer FW and let me update through that or will i have to do some fancy flashing with Odin?
I would much rather do it with Kies...

How could we know ?
I'll do it with odin because I want a clean install

i believe kies will recongize your firmware and upgrade it to official froyo if you're running an official rom in the first place. jm1 or something. if i want an upgrade through kies i'd flash back to stock firmware.
but i hate that piece of **** software so i'm gonna odin mine

yes via Kies is the official method
similar to the Blackberry and Blackberry desktop software

"When froyo comes out, how will i get it?"
With open arms?

U will get it in a cup along side a fork

Samsung deny 2.2.1 exists!

The plot thickens...
I have issues with updating through kies
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877864&page=51
I call samsung to try and sort the issue.
KIES tells me i can update my firmware, despite me being already on 2.2
The manager tells me that the firmware update showing available on KIES is a glitch..
He denies that 2.2.1 exists and says there will be no further update until 2.3 next year!
He advises me to download advanced task killer as that we sort my problem out???? er, dont think so!

If that's the advice you're getting then he probably doesn't know about 2.2.1 anyway.
For the record, Kies doesn't show me an update (XEU on JPX).

Sounds like he has no idea what he is talking about.
They already confirmed with other users via mail that official froyo update would be in december..
It being on kies is not a glitch otherwise they would have removed it.. Sooo stoopid.. Lol

Can't find the thread.. but there was an email from samsung saying that they will release the sources tomorrow, JPY or JPX don't remember, but for sure it was 2.2.1

..And he claimed to be the team leader!
He also said that if i managed to download the "glitched" firmware i would do serious damage to my phone and it would be my fault!
Ialready have 2.2 and presume the firmaware is 2.2.1 but even with reg hack i cant get passed the "battery charge" message so cant update...
He said advanced task killer would resolve all my issues!

Samsung also denied the Nexus S existed

Just to let you know I updated to JPY this morning from Darky's custom rom using Kies patcher......going back to the custom rom!!
Also my wifes SGS stock 2.1 JF3 never been rooted or modded in anyway, is showing the update available too, going to flash that tonight!

JPU, JPX & JPY are all test firmwares, so the manager is technically correct, that you risk breaking your phone by trying them (not that they will break your phone, but equally they are not supported roms). They haven't been signed off yet as official releases. JPZ is waiting in the wings too, and we are told that JPY sources will be released tomorrow.
Whether that means JPY comes officially tomorrow I don't know?
Also Samsung have elsewhere said the next official release comes in December, without confirming whether it was 2.2.1 or 2.3
I think we all know it is most likely to be 2.2.1 now since all these test firmwares confirm they are gearing up for an official release.
Glad to great we are likely to get 2.3 officially too next year.... although the source doesn't appear too reliable!

I don't care it's official or not. Finally it works. 2.2.1 is the first _working_ ROM from f.cking Samsung. Not a laggy piece of ****.
So I will happy with an "official" release but now I'm using JPY beacuse I would like to use my phone. I bought my SGs in september. Now it's december and this is the first time when I can use my phone without any tweak or custom ROM. It's a shame on Samsung but it looks like it's changing now.

Amen to that! I think Samsung realeased galaxy too soon because they have so consern that they have a iPhone "killer" but they failed big time and now they have pissed of costumers that have a laggy phone and we are some sort of beta testers of this crap phone, just like Nokia had make too..realeased phone too early. But its seems with 2.2.1 rom we start from cratch and the phone feels like a new phone! at last!

That is because JPO is (officially) available for it or the test mode is still on.

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

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.

Bell Gingerbread Update

Just got a text from bell telling me I could update my phone through Samsung Kies. I'm running Darky's Stable 9.5 right now, do I have to flash stock rom before going for gingerbread?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

most likely unless you use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959806 to trick kies into thinking you got a stock one for your refion etc.

I just got this message too, but i highly doubt its gingerbread. Anyone actually find out what the update is?

I got the same message. Can anyone confirm that it is for Gingerbread?
Hehe, is anyone left using a stock rom? Lol
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Same....
Need some confirmation.

I just received the same text from Bell.
There is a new version of keis to install. Once installed it's showing I have the latest firmware at KC1.
Not sure what this is all about. Hopefully a prelude to gingerbread.

same here , hoping someone here can post what this does for them , im not on stock and not really wanting to find out the hard way what it is.

bell.ca/galaxyupdate
So from reading the information, there is no word on exactly what is being upgraded other than software. From speculation, wouldn't that mean it has to be 2.3 at least.

I just got the same text message so I plugged into Kies. It says this is the latest firmware. I upgraded my Kies last night and I am still on stock firmware (KC1). So the wait continues I guess.

I called Samsung support and was told that they were being flooded by calls over this today and that the notification was for the KC1 update. I've been running KC1 for about a month now... Bell Mobilty Canada slack much?

Are you serious?! That makes me so sad.
*sigh*
What a letdown...
Either way, thanks for the confirmation. Now we all know the reason the text was sent out from Bell. Our only hope now is that they (Bell) is trying to push everyone to update their phones to the latest firmware in preparation for Gingerbread.

KC1 compared to JL2?
Need some advice here. I'm still on JL2 (rooted). Thinking about upgrading to KC1, but I hear that doing so wipes out the root, and it's very difficult to root it again on 2.2.1. I also read that some people find the GPS performance went down with KC1.
So what are the actual advantages of upgrading to KC1? Or am I better off just holding out for Gingerbread?

You're misinformed. Rooting 2.2.1 is just as easy as 2.2. But it doesn't matter because KC1 is still 2.2, not 2.2.1.

KC1 any good?
So what are the advantages of KC1 over JL2?
Can I still apply oneclickroot on KC1 to root it?

Honestly, if you are 100% happy with JL2 I don't think KC1 would be worth upgrading to. Wait for Gingerbread or flash JVK/JVB yourself. I believe there are some fixes in regards to how roaming is handled but there's nothing you would actually notice.

The new update is just a modem upgrade that gives support for using this device overseas. It does wipe out root but superoneclick 1.9.1 reroots it easily.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

i assumed it was for KC1 since i never got any notice from them when it first came out. The KC1 modem apparently uses a fair bit more battery and it supposed to improve using your phone in the US.
JS8 with the JL2 modem has been the best to me so far.

If this is the case I won't bother to update to KC1, JL2 works just fine with my rooted ROM .
Does anyone know if Bell is even testing Gingerbread?

I thought it was bell that is slow with the updates. Doesn't bell add their extra stuff for the i9000m specifically? Whatever the case though, someone's definitely dropping the ball on the updates.

Stick with JPY if she wants to use Skype, there's a thread on here about the Gingerbread battery drain and Skype was mentioned as one of the possible culprits (just by having it installed). Not sure it's been proven but if Skype's a must have for her then it would be worth looking into before upgrading. Had a quick look for the thread but couldn't find it, haven't time to look properly. I'm on Gingerbread and I like it but I had JPY with the voodoo speedmod kernel and loved it. If she's not into modding the phone stick with JPY and voodoo.
Kies is an unpredictable piece of crap anyway

Hmmm that is strange...why on earth did it say that then????
Has this happened to anyone else?
