Anyone in Ireland get the Gingerbread update since its re-roll out on Samsung Kies??
Checking everyday but all I get is you have the latest firmware
Love the phone but pretty pissed off at Samsung with how slow they are to update the phones.
here we are stuck with 2.1 man, so you should consider yourself lucky
really....
its not a re rolout - they use old builds with some branding and new modems
at least that is what i can say about todays uk o2 ginge
that is jvh_jv3_jv2.tar so
good old JVH base (vodaphone had JV9)
JV3 csc i guess thats for uk o2 (vodaphones was JV5)
and some new JV2 modem in opposite to vodaphoneuk JV3
but asian ones seems to be made out of fresher build

Still no 2.2 in Mexico
There roll-outs are very poor.
I have a Samsung Omnia Windows Mobile 6.5 for years now and its never had an update. My son has the Apollo that he got about 8 months ago and again no updates.

If you're on a branded phone, maybe you should place the blame at your carrier

Well from my limited knowledge, the carrier takes the update and adds their own stuff to the update. The unbranded updates from samsung come out pretty fast.
If it's your carrier you're waiting on, maybe theyre just taking their time
While I did get my phone from the carrier it's not branded. I have put other carrier sims in it and it worked fine. Think they forgot to brand my on.
Anyway with that in mind, it must be unbranded.
Just wish they would a get a move on.

Mine was Meteor (2.2), I'm on Vodafone though, had a hardware problem and sent it off for free through Vodafone shop, got it back with 2.2.1 (JPY) on it, Kieds never gave me the option to update from 2.2, my friend's phones are all stuck on 2.2.
Bought a JIG, read up on Odin and flashed 2.3.3 (JVB)...
Thought about doing the update via odin but wanted to keep to the offical kies updates.

So was I until I found a stock rom for my phone on samfirmware that I can flash with odin. So, any trouble - back to stock!
OK I've downloaded Z4root and I have a
Temporary Root
Permanent Root
I'm told that I can root and unroot with this app. Has anyone any feed back as I am not knowledgeable in Android whatsoever.
I'd like to root the phone then unroot it to get the Gingerbread update on Keis when it comes out.
I want to run OCLF as I getting a lot of lag issues

Just wondering as others got 026 other day. Im on orange but dont yhink the phone is branded to them it was from a 3rd party store not sure what the sigs are but I dont have any orange branded apps on the phone. Not had any updates since 020 would annoy me if 2.1 came and I couldnt pick it up lol

Well if that happened then you could just debrand.
My phone is rooted and I still get updates though.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Got bad news im afraid the phone is branded just secretly, the traffic TV app is exclusive to orange
to debrand i suggest you download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NPNW099K that, follow the instructions to install the 026 firmware, that what i did and i believe it is now debranded, it also roots, etc.
vengeance
I'd follow steps 1-5 HERE to debrand, then run SEUS to get 026.
I rooted and debranded, so I could get 020 generic months ago, but I got an OTA prompt to say an update was available yesterday and to update via. SEUS. Haven't done so as I don't want to brick my phone, so am considering my options, whether or not it would be safer to flash my old O2 016 files, and then try to run the update. Even that could go wrong though,so maybe I should just take the risk. but dont want to brick my phone
I take it debranding is the obly way to get 2.1 on release for me then? Is there a chance of recovery if i brickit lol used ti flash alit of custom roms on winmo but still quite new to android

Why can't I get JJ7 from samsung kies? It says I already have the latest version installed. There is supposed to be an upgrade for my device, right? Or is it only for UK tabs??
I can't wait to get the browser fixed, but I'm too scared to install JMC/D after those scary bootloaders jumped out from under the bed.

I really didn't have a clue either why kies won't pass the jk7 update through. though you're safe flashing at least jm6 following exactly the guide in the dev topic, this fw version won't pop them bootloaders up, and will fix most of your issues. If you're uncertain of flashing outside of kies, don't do it, hang around for a while on jj3 as samsung is planning a official update somewhere near coming weeks, as with the sgs after completing the roll out of the sns

Bought mine in Norway too, still waiting for JJ7. One question, if you could please help me out: Can you connect your tab to Kies? Assuming you got the newest version of Kies. I can't, and I can't for the life of me fix it. Would be pretty annoyed if Samsung release a FW-update, and not being able to apply it cause of Kies-issues.
Edit: I can mount mass storage, and get access to it through USB, but I just can't get Kies to recognise the tab. It's no problem with my SGS.

Guys, AFAIK it depends on the pre-installed Sales Code on your Tab. If you have a JJ3 CPW Tab (UK Carphone Warehouse) you will be offered JJ7 through Kies, if not it seems you won't. There are ways to fake the Sales Code in Kies if you want to, look in the Galaxy S forums for details or flash the ROM of your choice (carefully) with Odin or Hemidal..!
If you flash with Odin or Hemidal I recommending flashing the modem.bin from your original provider version back to give best phone/modem performance unless you know that the modem you flashed to is suitable for your country conditions.

Guess it's on its way. I'm wondering how the update will roll out to Wifi only versions or the tablets that aren't currently using a carrier.
Today i got a message thru Kies that i could update my firmware to gingerbread (although the message gave a series of numbers and letters). I tried to update my Tab, but after downloading, the installation of the new firmware failed. Could that be because i have my Tab rooted? How do I solve this problem. Your help will be much appriciated.

Hopefully, Samsung will push it over WiFi... If not, the good people of XDA will inevitably provide a ROM on here. You will either get it in a timely manner or have to hold your balls and ROM it (if you haven't done it before). Even if you have, it can sometimes be a scary procedure.
Short answer... Yes. Long answer... Above.
hmm any word on how far the update is? is it still only italy that got it?
Dont really wanna use odin to update our 120 Galaxy tabs (or the 300 that we are getting in ~1 month time).

I use sipgate with the sipdroid app to push calls over VOIP. Works well enough for me. Can send and receive calls. I am only on WiFi so I imagine, it'd work that much better over the 3G network.
As far as a possible release date? No idea... Their words are that they'll start mid-May through Kies in Europe and it'll feather out. Since Sprint versions don't work with Kies, it may up to Sprint to push the updates here (which may take a long while) or if Samsung is really aggressive, maybe we'll see it through them.
Since Kies is the main avenue of pushing it, I wouldn't anticipate it soon. May be worth following the Honeycomb ROM (DONATE TO THIS CAUSE) and taking the time to flash it. Then brag that you have cheap Honeycomb Galaxy Tabs for sale in your store.

I'm also curious about this, but perhaps it would be better in a new thread for people to post their country and a confirmation once it's available over Kies.
I've started a thread to list confirmed countries here, please add to it as and when it becomes available in your country: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086484
Since my Tab is no longer syncing with Kies anymore, and I'am no longer willing to reinstall Kies everytime I reboot my laptop( i've played that with my Sgs long enough-ok one week before discovering odin), I would like to know if there's a possibility of getting an OTA firmware update for a unbranded DBT tab or do I have to flash them the odin way and loose warranty? (no need to root my tab at the time and I'am getting sick flashing and rooting my sgs twice a month) never ever receiven an OTA update for any of my galaxy devices so I'am actualy asking if the tab updates are going to be distributed OTA or only via Kies.

As far as i know there hasn't been a OTA update for the european 3G device, so i'm not waiting anymore. I flash updates with Odin. If you flash only official firmware, i don't see how this breaks your warranty.
Ok thanks for the info, so its back to odin for one more device. At least that way i can' thing of a single reason not to root. Guess with an DBT Tab, even outside Germany we won't get any support anyway after the Apple fiasco. So DBT sales code bye bye, EUR here I come flashin' again.

I'm on stock currently myself. You don't need Odin for custom ROMs, there's plenty of stock already on samfirmware.com.
Kies already bricked my i9000m twice using Samsung official firmware. Samsung's response was that the firmware wasn't available for my area yet. I told them that Kies gave me the green light, and their response was still the FW wasn't approved yet. That was a PITA to get resolved.
Samfirmware.com has firmwares (including stock) that many have tried, and Odin takes the tedious waiting out too. Between waiting and 2 bricked phones from Kies, I am done with Kies forever!...

There's a few that are 100% official. The rest are stock waiting for carriers to chop them up.
Honestly the only thing that you are waiting for is carrier bloatware.

Luckily mine is carrier-free. Discerning the "final official" roms and installing them whilst retaining my current set up is what concerns me. Like I said, petitioning for OTA updates.
It would be best to work like google chrome browser auto update. It downloads the update, and next time you start it it installs. No questions asked... no time wasted... Always the newest firmware. OTA of course. It could work on android. Downloads update, waits for restart. When restarted if battery >60% installs. Piece of cake...

Samfireware.com does carry stock Samsung roms (it is not an official Samsung site) and they aren't official releases.
I have the 2.3.5 update from there and it is noticably quicker that the official 2.3.3. That being said kies detects the new version and says that its not official and that the upgrade service is not available for non-official versions. If samsung release an official update I might flash back to and older version then update through kies if I really had to which is no drama.

The instructions were posted just after the last official update in August. Hopefully a sign that OTA is on the way.

Guys, i need some help/tips about updating my Firmware. I have a samsumsung GT-I9000 with Android 2.2 (Froyo). I know that there is a newer version (2.3 or so).
I downloaded Samsung Kies but on the general information screen it doesn´t give me the option to update the firmware version, it is only showing me my firmware version (not the latest version available, neither the chance of updaiting it).
I have tryed to install the Kies in differents PCs and I had the same issue.
My GF has a Samsung 5500 (Samsung Galaxy Europe) with Android 2.1, and we had the same problem trying to (or not having the chance to) update the firmware.
My first option is to try with Kies as it is an official source (I don´t want to have troubles with the warranty), but if it is not possible let me know any other way to update our phones.
I will really appreciate any help.
Cheers,
It sounds as if your SGS is tied to a carrier, in which case you are dependent on them for their version of the upgrade.
I would contact them first. If you get no joy there your only option is to "unlock" the phone from that carrier, thus enabling Kies to give you the generic upgrade.
This is what I did. I was locked to o2, here in the UK. Upon unlocking I get the latest generic update via Kies as soon as it becomes available, which is months before o2.
