I tried to flash a 6.1 rom to my shadow, but that was back in the day when my WMD did not work. When I tried to flash it, it got stuck in the bootloader mode. It took me awhile to research how to fix it, but eventually I got the re flash of the orignal t-mobile rom to work. Im wondering if I now that my windows media device software will work, if the flashing will? I'm a bit paranoid as I have no back up t-mobile phone and wonder if 6.1 is even worth it.
Also, the issue came because during the flash it said make sure it is connected to active sync, but I have WMD because I am on Vista.
What do you guys think? Should I be able to upgrade the shadow or should i just leave it alone
Having a small issue here. I just picked up a Juno (Tmo branded). Its completely stock, no 3rd party apps.
Anyway I'm trying to flash a new rom (clean rom, 6.1 rom..ect). When I start the flasher, it gets to 2% then fails. The phone reboots and operates normally. I get a error message on the computer telling me there is a problem flashing.
Im running vista sp1 on my macbook. I also tried this on a dell laptop (xp s2), same problems.
BTW: Software Ver on the phone: 1.03.531.4
did you CID unlock?
you might need to do that first so that you can run the Upgrade
Yea I'm pretty sure I CID unlocked it. Maybe I ran it a few times too many, I'm not sure.
I did get it to work. What I did was upgrade the "Official" FW first. I went to the tmobile upgrade site and got the updater from them and updated. That went fine, but it was still tmo branded fw.
The I ran jumpspl.exe, I guess that unlocked it. The unit rebooted but the screen remained off. I then ran the Clean Rom flasher and it worked. The progress bar never appeared on the device but it was on the computer and went up to 100%, device rebooted a few times, took a while each time as it did. Finally I had a usable phone
run jump spl then you upgrade your rom.
hi,
I recently got an unlocked G1 for 150$, (I have AT&T), and I did activation over WiFi, since activation through AT&T didn't work for me at all. I used this guide for this :
http://androidforums.com/support/6564-activate-stock-g1-over-wifi.html
It told me to get a certain image that seems to be rooted, because I'm now unable to update (manually) from my firmware V1.0. When I tried installing the JF update app, it told me that I have an unsupported OS. I'm really confused by now, all I want to do is update to the newest android version, preferably not losing any of my settings.
Thanks a lot!
great news, just today i got the update message while at costco, and with trembling hands i pressed 'update now' . the update took me all the way to v1.6 and didn't (thank god) re;uire activation afterwards! so far works like a charm.
Please help out my coworker has a stock Hero on sprint and we are unable to update the firmware. I was able to update mine, our demo and one other co-worker's phone but on hers, every time I actually go into the firmware update it states no updates available. Sadly we work for a sprint store and hers is the only one giving us an error. I've already gone to the point of wiping the device to restore to factory but with no avail. Aside from having her swap out the phone at our repair center, I wanted to see if anyone has had the same problem and was able to get passed it. I saw a couple of posts stating to use the RUU utility, but on a stock rom that we already "RTN'd" I don't know how that would help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've seen something similar. A coworker of mine just got a hero last week (after the MR release) and her phone shows the older software version but it will not recognize a firmware update is needed. I checked the phone's awake time and it was low, indicating the messaging app was not keeping the phone awake or draining the battery so I assumed it must not need the MR update even though it shows the old software version.
A couple others have metioned this... For some reason, some phones shipped with older firmware, version 1.22.651.1 instead of 1.29.651.1. Doing a hard reset on the 1.22 version wouldn't help, but updating the firmware to the 1.29 should. After that, check for the official MR.

the guy at the sprint store (3rd party store) where i got mine from , his hero will not update or even flash back to the stock sprint ruu everytime it downloads the update and goes to apply it it shuts the phone down and thats it no reboot have to pull the batt to get it to power back on again
I had the same problem. I got my Hero on the first day it came out. Every time I tried to download the firmware update it would say no update available. Took it to the Sprint store and no luck either. They finally swapped out my original Hero for a new one and I was past my 30 days.
I tried different machines before I sorted the connectivity problem to establish connection to my device until finally my PC can recognise my device.
Now comes the next headache, after getting the connection established I clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available -
it shows my current version as:
(PDA)JE9/(Phone)JE9
available update as:
(PDA)JF4/(Phone)JF4
When clicked on 'proceed' - it brings up some warning for me to make sure they are fixed before I proceed further like power cables connected and some warning of not removing or doing anything during upgrade, after I check 'agree' it starts the download by letting me know that the binary files for the new firmware is being downloaded and after the dowload there seems to be a wait creating impatience for us as to what next...after a few seconds I can see the message above the progress bar saying that the upgrade process has begun..
I can see the screen on my SGS display come with the android logo on some work (like road construction work) and the message telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect...it stays in that state for around a minute...no progress in the progress bar....Now suddenly the PC says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode, try later' and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' (getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question) until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.
I am stuck and can't proceed further - I tried it many times with many machines no luck. Please anybody suggest a way out.
Some info on my device: Bought in UK, sim free phone from Singapore Singtel as I see the operator's animation in the startup screen.
Other details on firmware:
PDA:I9000DXJE9
Phone:I9000DXJE9
CSC:I9000OLBJE9
In the settings 'About Phone' carries details:
Version: DXJE9
Kernel: [email protected]# (does this mean the device is rooted already?)
I have another question since I saw somebody mention in another thread that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.
somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.
isn't there any dev who can help me on this, it looks like i am the only one experiencing this!!!
I don't think many people are getting the upgrade options via kies at the moment.
I'm not seeing it on UK JF3
so hope, there isn't an issue with my device. I am weary because this was purchased from an online site but purchased the device after checking it personally.
One more question, will an unlocked phone get locked after any new firmware updates?
Are sim free and unlocked phones follow different philosophy ie., after unlocking a phone does that become a sim free phone forever.
Second question, how does the OTA update work - if you are not tied to a service provider - does samsung send these directly to all sim free phones automatically, looking and searching for IMEI numbers? and will a rooted phone be allowed to upate to froyo or any official update (for example) via the official Kies?
thanks
There isn't any offical firmware updates, via Kies, and or any other method.

Pls dont give wrong information. If you are suggesting something make it elaborate and clear.
I have clearly mentioned that I can see my current version as: (PDA)JE9/(Phone) JE9
Update available version:
(PDA) JF4/(Phone) JF4
thats what is displayed via Kies. I am also aware from this forum that some people can see the update whilst others dont see any.
Having said that, I was asking a techy questions as to whether a OTA upgrade or a upgrade via Kies from Samsung still happen if the phone is rooted and also if the phone is sim free and not attached to any service providers will the OTA upgrade will happen if so, is it based on IMEI number that will automatically be tracked OTA.

I was wondering if anyone found a solution to this problem? I am having the same problem.
I'm looking at this also.
after following this: (oh great, can't post links)
I had a problem updating to the official Foyo via Kies.
Finally got my PC to recognise the phone then started the update.
Phone screen went all green part way through and nothing was happening for about 20 mins so unplugged.
Phone would switch on but came up with a little picture on the screen and thats it.
so got it updated to JPM by booting into download mode and using odin. Took 5 mins once I downloaded all the files.
