Wow...
At first i had the KF1 (ARB) >.<..
i couldn't flash, then i flashed the KE2 Firmware, but it didn't change the CSC =(
Then i tried KE7.. didn't work.
Flashed a MultiCSC and selected via *#272*IMEI# the DBT CSC, and it still didn't work, so i flashed back the KE2 and now it works.. finaly
//it's respectably faster

I'm not sure if its a branded. i dont have nothing to do with O2 on the phone .
i have GT-I9100KLAVIA with multi-csc
would i get the update if i changed the CSC to DBT instead of VIA? would i lose the warrenty if changed the CSC ?
i would be greatfull for ur answer(ich bedanke mich im voraus)

no, you won't lose your warranty...
From my experience, you need KE2 and DBT (you can select it, when you type in "*#272*YOUR IMEI#" but it will do a reset :-S
With KE7 it didn't work!!

it didn't work!!
i got the famous (this version cannot be upgraded)

Wow, finally we get an update.
I have just updated and everything went fine.

This update is also available, and has been available, in the firmware thread in dev forum.

actually, i was thinking about opening this thread this morning, but since i saw the rom collection thread had it already and assuming everybody connects their device to kies at least once a day, i decided to try it first.
has anybody noticed any improvements/bugs yet? people in the kf3 uk thread seem to experience bugs in IM, i don't really use it, since it does not offer my preferred messengers, but after opening it at least it did not force close or anything.
this was my first update on android and i created a backup on kies beforehand and did the update, when switching it on for the first time, everything was just the way i left it before. does that mean, the phone performed a factory reset and kies automatically restored my backup or was there no factory reset at all? is it important to do a factory reset after an update and is restoring a kies complete backup a good idea or should i reset and then make all my settings manually and just sync my contacts and stuff back?
unfortunately there are no changelogs for the roms, so i don't know, what exactly should have been fixed with this update, but i can see absolutely no difference yet, if it weren't for the new data in the phone information, i would have thought the update was unsuccessful

what I read here and noticed so far, too, was that the SMS Themes are gone. And I updated my GFs phone too (also KE2 DBT) and now that she's on KF3 I tried Samsung Apps. I tried to update KIES but it said "not for your device" which made me wonder and the besides that I can't seem to find the camera firmware updates anymore, I searched the whole Samsung Apps list and there is none, not on my phone, not on her's.

one thing that changed, is the vlingo voice command, i only noticed it, because all of a sudden, it showed up as the last app in my app drawer.
experiences are posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158734
spoiler alert, it's not that great, especially for german users with english system language as myselt.

compared to ke2 the battery life of this firmware is bad.
lost 23% of battery over night in 9 hours.
android os is @ 59% (48m 50s)
maybe a hard reset will fix something but currently I'm not happy with that.

3g data stall bug is still present with O2 Germany. Disappointed.

according to the pic: have you set A1 or Telekom Austria as your mobile provider? If so you'll get automatically this pic.

Check the KIES description in Samsung Apps, this version is for Eclair 2.1 only
And the camera update did already disapear before, it's not related to the updated firmware.

Just tried to update my phone (not rooted) from KE7. All seemed to went well, but then Kies showed a hint window with 4 Points in it, but instead of letters and words there where only quares in the Box.
I only had a button with "Confirm" and now kies is showing its normal UI (like with no phone connected) and my Samsung shows the "Downloading..." screen with the green android. And this since 10 mins.
Any suggestions/help?
Edit: Okay, just removed the battery, phone booted up normal, but still with the old version. Kies is really a pain!

the battery drain got worse for me as well. and i just had the unpleasant experience that both the new vlingo and the old vlingo work terrible for me now. i was so glad, the update was released but one thing i never thought about was: how does one "officially" flash back to ke7? i want to keep the ability if they eventually release a better firmware and i am using my device pretty much as stock, no root or major customizations. do i need to start learning how to flash with odin now?
could any of you advise me on how to properly set up voice command for optimal performance?
my system is set to english, but i want voice command in german, but it reads out english words with german pronounciations, "maessahge" instead of either message or "nachricht". also there seem to be several engines and so many settings. i don't get it, i can pick vlingo or google, in another menu it is samsung or pico. in voice input and output settings i can set the language to german or many other languages, when i change some setting, it is only available in korean, then again, in voice talk there are entirely different settings. i totally don't get it. if anybody set it up to work properly, please post your settings

As far as i know it just tells you that there are no Official updates ready for your device
i have same problem. Version JF5. says can't be updated not update not available/latest version. what can it be??
They are the latest official versions available for those devices. The samsung-firmwares leaked versions haven't been officially released via Kies.

It's not a problem or issue you in any way need to worry about.
If there IS an update, they WILL update the server and then you can see the update on Kies.

i think it might be a problem because i'm from italy, my phone is an "imported" phone so it comes from portugal. firmware version are different italy and portugal. samsung support says that with kies i will not be able to update my phone and i will have to bring it to an assistance point. wich since it's not an italian phone but has european warranty has to be shipped. the end is that if kies doesn't work only way to update is with other programs , not the "official" way. until somebody can prove it's just something temporary( wich i hope!!)

Hi, I'm affraid it's not about impoerted phone but about customized phone from mobile operator. I have phone from Vodafone, and I've got the same bad message, my colegue has phone from Samsung shop and he has "right" message about lates version. I hope upgrade to 2.2 will be available to all not only for non customized devices :-(
Speaking of Bell's JG9...has there been a firmware dump from one yet? I would like to get back some of the apps that were installed by default that got dropped when I had to go back to JG8.

mine is samsung, not branded... anyway all will be clear when froyo is out!! otherwise we will go with odin...
omg I waited all day at work to get this update for and now this...
So is this a problem with ALL Bell phones or just a select few "JG9's"
Does this have anything to do with two driver that are unrecognized by my Windows 7 (64)?
The phone detects fine in Kies, but I think I may be missing something. I can't even get Samsung Apps support in Kies cause it says my phone is not supported... WTF!!
Erm... I don't know if this is actually a problem. My device, upgraded last week to JM1 through Kies from JF3, said until tonight that JM1 was the latest version. I just connected it to have a look, and now it says that JM1 cannot be updated. This just happened. So I think someone is messing around with the Kies releases...maybe tomorrow it will say that it's the latest version again... who knows. I'm not really worried. Yet.
I did get a Samsung update today from Samsung Apps, now I have 8 apps, the newest being Radio Companion. Maybe that's part of the problem. I think Samsung needs more people to look into all this Kies thing.
I can't even get Samsung Apps support in Kies cause it says my phone is not supported... WTF!!

I don't think Samsung Apps works in Kies, my phone was never supported, so don't worry about that. Kies is a joke atm.
if you hook up your Bell phone with JG9 or anything older it will show you the JH2 upgrade
Has anyone found a solution to this? Or has the problem suddenly fixed itself for anyone?
Not sure why it says it's not updatable, but before the JH2 that's what mine said when I plugged the phone in. when JH2 came out it showed that I could update.
I wouldn't worry about it at this point. I'm guessing the update has not rolled out for your area is all.
O.
I have the bell i9000m and i upgraded 2 days ago... it lets you download the full version of ashfault 5 from samsung apps, which is really fun!
Firmware is now posted on samsung-firmwares.com

If you check on Voda Live's page about the update it does say Voda startup and shut down aminmation removed along with 2 pre loaded games and 360 applications. But you can download them yourself if you really must have them.
Thankfully Voda IE were knocking out unbranded, unbloated and unlocked Galaxies when I got mine.
Although I've flashed it that many times now I'm buggered if I can remember what flavour of Eclair it came with lol
Can't confirm

Kies regards DocRom 7.5 as already installed...
So I guess the upgrade is old news for anyone who is on Doc's rom anyway - so no point in upgrading to their JPA - unless they did something to it to improve the (still not great) GPS.
Mark.
I got the text from Vodafone this morning but Kies says
"Current Version: PDA: JM1/PHONE:JG6/CSC:JG7
This device's version cannot be updated"
Could this have something to do with the fact that I originally updated to the Nordic Froyo in September via a registry hack and then went back to JM1 via Odin flashing?
I was hoping I could return to branded official Vodafone Firmware incase I need to return under warranty.

Seeing you already know how to use odin, then you should go to http://samfirmware.webs.com/ and find the firmware that your phone came with, download it, and flash all three of those files using ODIN. Then each of those three components should revert to what they should be. PDA, Phone, CSC. Use the correct PIT file (also listed on that site, and Id do a factory reset and repartition when using Odin to basically remove as much of the existing stuff as possible. (backup with titanium pro & appbrain first)

That's exactly what I did do when flashing back to JM1, I flashed all three files. So are you saying that PHONE:JG6/CSC:JG7 are wrong for JM1, ,ight sound stupid but I'm kind of new to this.
Edit: I just downloaded the JM1 Firmware and those are the correct components. Anyone got any ideas?
Second edit: I then downloaded a second file from there with ostensibly the same firmware which comes with all three files marked JM1. I'm going to try flashing that.

Root Official 2.2
Hi,
Is there an update.zip that can root this. I tried the One-Click Root update zip but got Installation Aborted message in recovery

Software update

I just clicked on software update/check for update in the 'About Phone' section of my settings. I've never clicked it before. It said new firmware required. So I let it download the new software. Then it said charge battery before updating, and then it let me choose when to resume the update. I chose 3 hours. So I'm on stock Android 2.3.3. Gingerbread XWKE7 . What will it update to? I'm a bit worried now, is it going to wipe stuff? Everything's working good so I don't 'need' to update, but it would be nice to.
Update will be 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 .
jje
Interesting... Just noticed on mine too.
Won't have a chance to do it though until Monday.
Roman5, can you tell us more of this please:-
1. What version?
2. Did it remove anything (shouldn't have)?
3. Anything new noted?
4. Any speed/battery issues?
Thanks...
I think it will be 2.3.4 XWKI4 (updated mine via Kies couple of days ago), doubt it will be 2.3.5 so fast after 2.3.4 because the providers have to check it and add their bloatware to it.
I lost a few of my Apps what wasn't on my SD card, contacts, messages etc, but did a backup on Kies of everything I wanted and restored it after firmware was updated.
Battery life improved a little bit, the fonts are bolder, not really much difference to be honest.
it will be stock 2.3.4 XWKI4 if your on XEU product code.....
ditch that and install 2.3.5 KI8 through Odin
Thanks Guys..... I've left you both a vote each.

ive just flashed KI8 from KI3 - i used Intratechs KI8 with old bootloaders so i can reset the kernal counter in download mode, but added the XEUKH2 CSC file into Odin thus giving me XEU CSC not NEE as the original firmware - works a treat, non wipe so all apps and settings remain and its very snappy. also brings you upto 2.3.5
Yay, no wipe! This is what I got. I thought it might also update Android but it hasn't. What benefits can I expect from the updated Gingerbread XWKF3?

For Vodafone Romania update is to 2.3.5 ( BUKI1 baseband and BUKI3F kernel ).
Is not yet available through Kies but only OTA.
All done, on 2.3.4 now and Gingerbread.XWKI4
http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4752/successfulupgrade.jpg
It wasn't without it's problems though. Several times it would not connect when I connected the phone to kies and had to reinstall the drivers. The most worrying time was this
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/5398/failedupgrade1jpg.jpg
http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/9372/failedupgrade2jpg.jpg
And on the phone was the green android and a message saying "do not disconnect target!!". After disconnecting, fortunately it rebooted normally and nothing on the phone had changed. So I followed the instructions, and it went through the whole re-downloading of the firmware, and all went well in the end. Phew!

Do you have a Vodafone Romania branded device and you were able to update through OTA ? Mine says: Samsung account already added and that's it. No update
Yes, I managed to do the OTA update this evening and it has remained on Android 2.3.3
It was worrying as it actually carried out 4 yes four updates.
I didn't notice what it did with the second update but here's a list of the versions it installed:-
Original ~ Baseband = KDH
Gingerbread = KDD
Update 2 ~ Baseband = KDJ
Gingerbread = KE2
Update 3 ~ Baseband = KE4
Gingerbread = KE7
Update 4 ~ Baseband = KE7
Gingerbread = KF3
Update fail
My Czech Vodafone (non-branded) got it's OTA update, first (bigger one) came trough all right, the second one (smaller) did not. After installing and rebooting it is stuck on the first black screen with white text with the name of the phone. No reboot helped, no factory reset from recovery mode:/ nothing!! it is so frustrating !!
any ideas?

How long did you leave it for?
Mine took well over 10mins sitting there at that screen.... Eventually it rebooted.
TYhe same was with the forth update during the applying mode.... It remained on 86% for well over 5mins.
Yes, it was not easy I had the phone rooted, OTA was not working ( update stopped at 7% saying that I need to contact samsung or do upgrade through Kies ). I installed BUKE5 (unroot) then OTA updated to G1 then I1 ( actually was more updates 3-4, no idea how many exactly ).
Funny is that after upgrade Kies say " you are f.ed, you don't have an official version"

All those changes where introduced in the XXKL7 Update
I am on unlocked Galaxy Note (bought in Austria), using it in Finland (Elisa operator, if it matters). Showing GINGERBREAD.XXKKA build number. And both Kies on PC and update attempt through phone settings menu says no updates available.
And I don't have those new features. How come? How to get the update??
(Preferably "the supported way" without messing with roms?)

I would not worry too quickly and wait a few days before investing more time into it.
These updates are rolled out over a certain period of time (a week or two is my impression), not every phone gets the update at the exact same time/day.
In fact I checked two days ago as well as Yesterday without being prompted that the new update was available. And just now when checking again it told me I could install the update (which I will do so when I am back home with WiFi).
So patience is probably all you need

I'm on the KKA build as well. Unlocked Note bought through The OEM Shop on Amazon.com with a product code of XEN (Netherlands). From the stock ROMs thread in the development forum, there hasn't been an update for the XEN Notes since November. I'd guess we'll be seeing the update reasonably soon.
KKA:
K=2011
K=11 > November
A=10th build in Nov.11
LA4:
L=2012
A=01 > Jan
4=4th build in Jan.12
So KKA is really old!
I strongly recommend to use at least LA1 or LA3 to have good performance!

LA1 LA3 are with XEU csc
LA4 is with DBT csc
Lets say your csc is XEU aka Europe. And your csc is a multilingual one you could pick DBT update via kies to xxla4 and again go back to XEU after that. But because the xxla4 is a nonwipe update don't expect not to loose your data because on each change of XEU to DBT and back phone does hard reset it's self.
So Carefull if you Make a mistake and you change your csc with this code IT WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA except sd card.
SO DON'T DO THIS MISTAKE

So even though my product code is XEN, can I flash the DBT LA4 non-wipe ROM through Odin? Or will it fail since the CSC codes don't match? I have Odin and the .tar file extracted, I'm just hesitant to try it. Thanks.
Why is the news suddenly picking up on this?
It's XKL7 folks, which is 3 weeks old.
See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412959
Is this the most recent firmware to be pushed OTA or something?
Anyone upgrading should go to LA3/LA4 though - there was quite a bit of improvement speedwise from LA1 to LA3.

What do you mean the date suggest the same, this date was almost one day prior to the German 4.1.2 release date .

I did check the release date of Russian 4.1.1 rom on Samfirmware and it is 12/28/12 so there is some error on the site. Also most of countries received 4.1.1 well after germany received 4.1.2 and also the release dates are well after that of german rom.
I went to same wifi and did a cross check the rom builds are also the same and hence I am sure that it is 4.1.1

There are ICS ROMs with later build dates than JB ROMs so Samir's question is valid. Same thing with 4.1.1 vs. 4.1.2. Personally, I never run ROM's from Russia (and Eastern Europe) or Asia because of changes Samsung makes unique to those regions. Others of course can do as they wish. It's not like the 4.1.2 ROM a lot of us are currently using is broken.

Totally agree with your statement, what i mean is why do we jump into conclusions that what is posted is for sure a 4.1.1 & not 4.1.2 while neither me nor Samir has downloaded or flashed it.
The logic says that we have to try first and give the verdict, on the other hand this russian guy who is running this rom have sent me a screen shot for this 4.1.2 , above that what`s the big deal of having another leaked Italian & Russian 4.1.2 roms ?
My reply was just to wait & check.

I'd load the Italian ROM becuase it's EU multi-CSC. Samfirmware has it listed as 4.1.1 while Samsung-Updates has it showing as 4.1.2. Has anyone tried it out yet to see which one's correct?

Yeah, that`s the Italian rom what i am trying to download but unfortunately have a problem with my provider tonight download speed is so slow.
I have just updated to LL3 ITV (the Italian one) and in the system info page under settings it says 4.1.2.
One-finger expandable notifications, though, don't seem to work so it may just be a mistake like we have already seen in the past.
This issue aside, the ROM seems to work perfectly and it solved the only problem I had with LJ9 which I have been running since I bought the tablet 2 months ago: the keyboard lag.
Very welcome changes are also more MultiWindow apps (and among them Youtube finally!), the return of the S-Note widget which lets you display a note on the home screen and some other minor features which can be enabled under settings.
Haven't noticed anything else for the moment but have almost literally only just updated.
BTW, I usually do full wipes and a clean install but out of sheer lack of time I have updated through Mobile Odin Pro (and have kept root). Everything runs beautifully but, again, apart from the annoying keyboard lag I really didn't have any problem before too.
What a fantastic tablet.
P.S. Just flashed through Mobile Odin Pro the CWM 6.0.2.3 (the touch version) to complete the update. All good and very happy about how easy, fast and successful everything went.
UPDATE: Polaris was also updated (the update was previously shown as available in Samsung Apps but attempting to actually updating it resulted in Polaris FC'ing) and now the system OTA update check works even if the system is rooted and has a non-original recovery. So more positive news, no negatives so far.
UPDATE 2: a problem in the gallery displaying high-res pics has been fixed too. The first and only negative found is that before swiping along the sides, in the stock browser, changed the zoom setting, no longer. Although it was inconvenient while scrolling the page (since sometimes, when you were scrolling too close to the edge of the sides of the screen, it would zoom instead of scroll) it was very handy while using the tablet with a mouse.
It's a pretty minor update to the earlier 4.1.2 ROMs. The only visual changes I noticed are the additional apps in stock multiview (they are the same as the N2 now) and I lost the ability to add news/social updates to the lock screen in the earlier 4.1.2 ROM and their back in this one. When it rebooted after the update it only showed 3 apps were being updated where the 4.1.1>4.1.2 update showed over 90.
Ok I had used the German Rom and I could not get one finger notification to work in either that also so dont worry if system show its 4.1.2 then it should be that
Apologies to isherif

Nothing to apologize for , we are here as a community trying to provide & post our findings and choose what ever could be beneficial to others .
Can anyone put up a mirror for the Italian one? I always have problems with hot file disconnecting right at the end
