Don't you mean I9000DTJG4. ie. JG4
Might like to update the thread Title.
I'm thinking of reflashing my OPTUS SGS back onto JG4 OPTUS firmware.
Wondering about my warrantee even though I bought it unlocked through an OPTUS reseller not through OPTUS.
You got it through Kies is a pretty good acheivement in itself with all the negative responses out their about Kies.

I've gotten 4 updates through Kies on the Korean phone, a guy I send PMs to on here just got an OTA update yesterday which surprised the hell out of me.
*EDIT* He is also in Korea on the Korean version. And 2 of my firmware updates might count as one since they came bundled, but I think they were separate releases and I just happened to get both at once.

I guess I am not able to update to this versoin because I flashed with JM2 ??
What if I flash with soemthing like JG1 ? Will I be able to upgrade ?
One more question, how does kies knows that it's an optus device ? Is it the IMEI or the Sim card or the current ROM ??

SAME
and plz pack it 4 us if it work

Yay first update completed. now have a task manager that wasn't there before, lost all contacts and apps, is it supposed to keep these? could be annoying if have to restore from back up every time there's an update.

Did it fix the lag and GPS-issue?

Kies Sync Problem after upgrading
Hi,
I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to the new JG4 firmware.
I have the following builds:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband I9000DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build: Eclair.DTJG4
The problem is that after upgrading Kies i can no longer connect back to my phone.
The MTP USB Device driver comes up with an error as soon as Kies fires up. The old version of Kies had no problems but the latest release has some real issues.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Peter

Thought I'd use mybackup pro before I try out this jg4 update. I havn't rooted yet - will I still be able to backup all the app and data needed? I guess the important bit to know is - what can't I backup because I'm not on root. Probably should figure that out before backing it up and going to the update!

Flashing your phone removes applications, contact, email and everything you hold dear hence why in most of the trheads it say's to back this up using the available backup programs.

Lost settings, contacts and apps after upgrade
I am new to Android and the SGS. Is it normal to lose everything when upgrading the firmware?

I lost everything also! This is my first time updating android firmware and coming from an iPhone I wasn't expecting it. I don't recall seeing a warning message, but I may have missed it as it took several attempts to get kies working. Searching the HDD for dll files/renaming/moving around just to get the update to work is bit much to ask!
Unfortunately it hasn't done anything to fix the GPS problems, I can't get a location after trying for an hour. Have had trouble with wifi in the past, but this seems to be resolved now.

It seems that Market is broken in this official firmware
I can't find Skies of Glory or MSN Talk Pro
It turns out that all protected applications are not shown in Market - pretty lame from Samsung.

Poor effort
Sorry Samsung, but to lose all your contacts, settings and downloaded applications while updating (and without any warning) is a very poor effort regardless of any improvements that may have been made. This is very disappointing and unprofessional and the update should be withdrawn until these problems are resolved. F grade.
Regarding Kies not connecting to the SGS. I had that problem prior to updating and tried many things to resolve it. Eventually, formating the SD card fixed this issue for me.

I can confirm this is the case. It would appear other applications are creating the issue on the phone with 16digit extentions or files. After an internal SD format kies worked correctly.
I have to agree with you all in theory.
Even flashing the firmware on say a Nokia phone, a message comes up asking you to backup your data prior to upgrade as you will loose it on the phone. Samsung have poorly implimented this in Kies. It will flash the firmware but give you no warning of the implications.
I guess you could also argue that this is an Android phone and not a iPhone. Things are done differently in Android then in iPhone and maybe a bit of reading might have identified that you should always back up you data prior to flashing the firmware.
That being said Kies should have an inbuilt ability to backup and restore your data and applications if they are also offering to flash the firmware.
Wish you all luck with it.

Yep, I find this a serious serious problem without a working KIES. I don't want to be forced to surrender personal info to google. MyBackUp steals the info to the cloud even if you wanted to backup just to the storage card.
How does this compare to JM2 to those who had tried both, in terms of lag and GPS accuracy?

Rooting is not what a typical consumer will do..so how can you officially back up in android?
So samsung must had a serious bug in kies it shouldn't remove your apps.
I Odin to m2 n yes I lost all my apps but I was expecting that fair enough but from kies cmon
Though my contacts being sync to google that was ok...

the official 2.2.1 NOW AVAILABLE!!!

where the hell is the official 2.2.1 update via kies without regHack, spoofer, ecc...?
Any news?
Thanks
Edit: now available JPY for XEU without spoofer xD

They arn't, the 2.2.1 releases are as of yet only leaked beta's or release candidates.
I'd rather have samsung take their sweet time making a solid update then releasing an untested snapshot that makes the phone even worse.

I think it's been released officially for some European countries, which is why people in other locations are able to 'reg-hack' to get it.
And the update(s) don't make the phone even worse - for most part, they are a big improvement over 2.2. WiFi battery drainage seems to be the only niggling issue.

yeah i connect my phone almost everyday to check in case there is FW update but JPO still the latest!! btw ithink most people with jpx are spoofing the Kies and end effect the phone doesn´t run as what we expect such as some setting doesnt work properly and lost a few of apps (this is from what i observe from the thread!) and on that reason i prefer to wait the FW update w/o reg. hack eventhough tired of waiting....but let give some time for a perfect-ish FW!!!

the update is not been released....who had already updated not use reg hack only for have XEU product code, but they use spoofer to go in kies test mode.....
Everybody update from a JPO XEU...i've this firmware, but without spoofer i can't get update....

Released officially for UK.
I'm using reg-hack to update to JPY via Kies since I'm from France. It works very well, best firmware ever.

yeah...now it's available!!!!! i have spoofer disablet and my JPO XEU see the update!!!! Great!!!!! xD

Ive got official update to JPY from JPO on Kies as well. Im gonna go for it

So many people leaving test mode on so much confusion.....

No confusion for me. JPY has been stubbornly unavailable (and I haven't resorted to the Kies hack) and today the update has appeared simply plugging in the phone.
I think now that it is safe to say that it has been "officially" released.

What country

UK/XEU
JPY firmware

Well i had thought it official before, no one was sure if it was put out and then withdrawn or they had left kies spoofer on or something else, so forgive our confusion. Good news though if it is and more people confirm that

This should be exactly the same firmware that could be obtained by spoofing, right?

Interesting. I hope there isnt much difference to the one that I flashed yesterday via the reg hack! Dont think i can really be bothered going through all of that again.

I'm in the UK with an XEU phone, and following the info in this thread I decided to try to update.
Connected to Keis and was immediately offered the update to JPY, I updated and it took about 25 mins, with no loss of data.
I've only been playing for about 10 mins but all seems good so far, only time will tell.
Thanks to everyone that have posted bits of info.

Downloading now for UK/HKDXEU, never spoofed or hacked

Is it out official in europe?
Or just the UK ?

I don't know about Europe.. but the 2.1.1 update on the cdma network was just to remove superuser and wifi..(verizon)
I hope its better for you guys tho.

OTA update

Just for the fun of it does anyone out there with the confidence and ability to flash JPX want to try and see if the OTA update works and offers the JPY released today?

I was on jpx no ota so used Odin to flash jpy

not sure what you mean i am on jpy and tried to signup an account for ota.. but registration fails.

My account I signed up to on the PC and it works fine checks and says no update available as I had already updated to JPY with Kies. @got-petrol was JPY officially available then without hack as it is now?

please provide link to sign up on pc.. .i only tried on the phone.

This is where I originally registered but as you will see it has now changed
http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk
to
http://www.samsung.com /yourcountrycode
Just noticed something odd. The Login/register button does not show at the bottom of the IE window but does show on Firefox. Not sure why.

thanks you are right.. already had samsung account here in the. us. had to figure out pwd.. when i put acct in in the phone.. it did connect.. checked for update (i am on jpy) and said no update avail.
guess they havent implement the registration portion of the phone app yet.. but it is cool that the check worked.. i am with you now.. wonder if the upgrade would really be found and work?

@ Tehpriest it says on here that jpy has been released through kies with no hacks to xeu and cpw but i can use kies because of this when i installed it on my new pc windows 7 64 bit when i start kies i get a 20 boxers fsusbservice64 coming up with service initiali failed and i have to keep clicking yes to truten,inc it worked ok on my windows 7 32 bit pc what a pile of crap

Sorry. Not sure you understood the question. It was a test to see if the OTA is working. To do this someone would need JPX on thier phone as this is the first with the OTA option and as JPY is now officially released and if they have the XEU product code they should, if it has gone live, get an update notification. Then all with Kies problems will be able to forget Kies from JPX on :-D

I had JPX on GT-I9000HKDXEU and OTA just reported no update - had to use kies to update to JPY.
Cheers
Spen

I m on JPX and KOR code at the moment,checked the OTA ast night,i did manage to comunicate with the server,but no update was found...

I see a gap in my logic here. If it behaves like Kies then the phone would not only need to be XEU but would also need to have an officially released firmware (JPO) prior to the newest (JPY) for it to offer the update. So we will have to wait for JPQ now then I suppose.

This version of the device cannot be updated.

Everything was fine until I updated to KE2 via Kies. Now whenever I connect my phone to Kies I get this message:
This version of the device cannot be updated.
Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
I have an unbranded, UK Samsung Galaxy S II from buymobilephones.net. I have not rooted or installed any custom ROMs.
I'm using the latest UK version of Kies.
Any idea what the problem is here? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers and Kies several times. I was not getting this message a few days ago.

Kies is probably confused because they rolled back and removed the KE2 update from the servers so as far as kies is concerned you are using a rom version that doesn't exist yet. I imagine once they release KE3 in the next couple of days Kies will return to normal.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

Kies says this device cannot be updated = their is NO UPDATE for this device you are already running the latest firmware .
KE2 is the last update so their is no update for your phone .

Not always as simple as that, when kies says "your device cannot be updated" its can be because it doesn't recognise your software version, this can happen when its been pulled from samsungs severs, you have flashed firmware that doesn't match you're csc or you're running a custom rom. Normally when you're running the current official firmware it will show you both your firmware and samsungs as the most recent. If samsung have pulled the latest update it will say you device can not be updated insted of saying you're on the latest version, we will just have to wait for a new update.

Yes thats true but in the users post he showed the latest firmware installed .
Plus i have already had one user posting today that i was wrong when i said much as you just said and with PC Hardware IF etc that do not match what's on the server .
About time Samsung gave Kies to a grown up developer anyway .

My post was because you replied to someone stating that they would no longer be able to update their phone ever again. That is simply not true.

[Q] Is there an update for i9505 in uk today?

Just wondered as before i left for work this morning, i seen my phone searching for updates, so i went into updates to look and it searched and said the server has exceeded its download limit, so i should update via kies.
Currently im using 4.4.2, updated to that a while ago.
Thanks
James

Seems theres somthing mine says Max number of Roll-out updates has been exceeded, try later or use Kies
hmmmmmm wonder whats coming now

Same here. Update must be on the way.
