Use Kies Mini, its the Samsung recommended method to update.

I know i can use kies mini because i dont know if i will get the froyo ota. Maybe you can use kies mini when froyo comes out.

If not then they will issue a new Kies Mini specifically for Froyo. Either way I wouldn't worry about it.

Ive upgraded twice but still get the same prompt and my build number is still JJ3 instead of JJ4.
Any ideas ?

Gt-i9000M Help (Updated for new question)

I just got a used SGS off of my local classified ads to replace my little galaxy gio, and I have already successfully rooted it and removed 35mb of bloatware. I now want to flash a custom recovery to it and get rolling with custom roms. Except it is the M version. I can flash my galaxy gio with any roms and recoveries because thy are so close. So I am wondering if the same applies here. Can I flash any i9000 Rom and recovery on my i9000m?
New Question:
Why is it that when i flash a new kernel, i automatically get a new CWM? On my galaxy gio, i could keep my custom recovery from rom to rom, kernel to kernel etc.
Are there any kernels that leave the recovery alone?

Yes, it is basically the same phone. Just don't flash anything that is i9000B (Brazil I believe, as that is different). E.g. I am currently trying ICS333 2.0.1 with semaphore 1.2 kernel.

I think only difference is the modem: )So, yes.

Sounds like you're in Canada like I am. To make sure your cell coverage is still strong just flash your modem and csc back to kg3 by using odin. You can use any pda you like as long as it is for I9000 or I9000m. This is a great resource I use for firmware.

Sounds like you've already made it that far but what I always do is flash my modem and csc in odin after I install a custom rom. The bell Canada firmware is in the above link under north America 2.3.3. Just extract the files and use only the modem and csc.

Just flash custom kernel and you will have root, recovery etc.Look at dev section. Cf root, Semaphore, Speedmod...Choose what you want

Simple Ans Is No.. if U downloaded Update u can't install it/update failure ......
May B Some Stock Based Custom Rom ...Software update Work ....But Most Of Custom ROM Update Not Working.......

Software updates also doesn't work if ur stock or any rom is rooted
As sir ^ said it will download but while updating it will stuck around 28% and phone will reboot with message "update via kies"

Software updates works fine in rooted stock roms.i had tried it 3 times.
Dont do it with custom roms or deodexed stock roms.

I also tried to update frome settings but after download it error and say to update via kies. So i also think it is not available in custom or any rooted rom.
