I was thinking that myself psp888 but I'm not too confident on that.

For some reason my says that already has the latest version which is 2.0.0.11044_11. Well it is not for some reason, it is for Kies reason..

Done the update and plugged in my phone (KE7) on the off chance of a further firmware upgrade but still states it's the latest one.
But it did connect to the phone right away which normally never happens.

Updated Kies but no new firmware.

In the SGS days (not that long ago) a new version of Kies was often just a few days before some nice new firmware releases.
Keeping the hope up, but we'll see..........

Just upgraded my Kies and on connecting my SGS, my phone has supposedly got the latest firmware, so this upgrade does not come with a new firmware

2.3.4 does not require a kies update for it to be downloaded or installed. Kies uses a specific protocol to communicate with your phone. Update is usually to add features or speed up things, improvements etc.

I thought that for those like me still not ready to root their devices can only update to 2.3.4 can only do so through Kies or go to a Samsung service center, or is there any other means?

My Kies bugs out every time I try to update, says the internet is not connected.
It also downloads more files than it is expected whilst retrying internet connection (eg. 54000/40000 KB).
Can anyone post a link to directly download the install file instead of using the update feature?

New update xwkh5

New update is available xwkh5 BUT YOU CAN ONLY UDATE VIA YOUR PHONE.
i GOT THE UPDATE THIS MORNING AFTER SO MANY UP AND DOWN WITH KIES.
BUILD NO
GINGERBREAD XWKH5

What operator are you on?

My phone is not branded ,
BUT AM USING t-MOBILE SIM

The good thing about this is
The version is 2.3.4 and am base in uk

How did you update with your computer and using Kies or within the phone to update over the air?

After so many hard time with kies , because i was unable to update my phone .
I downloaded the xkf3 from www. samfirware.com and installed through odin. . i installed it and then went through setting to register for OTA ,i mean on the phone. this has got nothing to do with kies or my computer. Ater 5mins the phone notify me with new update and i pressed yes that was how i got it. You can forget kies . It is not reliable.

No joy for me. I'm on similar free firmware as well

10.1 3G DBT OTA updates

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

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.

Hi, I have baseband kg7 build number kg9. Is there any updates which i can via odin install please? if yes any link where to find? I am on a 10.1wifi 3G. ..... What a great tab! The apple ipad 2 seems 20 years old. .... i understand now why Apple, so jealous and scared of Samsung, suied and stopped the sale in several coutries of this outstanding tab....lol

Same version over here. Sameone as bought. Haven't found a newer one yet. Are you able to connect with Kies or over Kies Air? Gettin always no device found. Had the same problem with my sgs with froyo, after an upgrade everything worked. My SGS is connecting without a problem.

New Kies 2.0.3.11082_152, no firmware update on NEE

Finland, new Kies version. No firmware update -- still same offering: PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV3 (NEE)

I really hope they will give us something new. Like GTalk 2 with video support

I got the new Kies on Monday. In my experience that sometimes predates an Android update, which was promised for the end of September.

If you guys aren't using Odin, you may want to give it a try.
Once I learned about how to use Odin, I couldn't go back to Kies ever again...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

I've used Odin and tried all the custom ROMs. I decided I prefer to keep it stock. Waiting for OTA updates to kick in though...

I am in Serbia and I got the same update, but no ginger yet.. I don't want to do it myself because of the warranty,so I'm waiting for couple of months now..

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!...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

Hmm, Samfirmwares may be stock but not necessarily official releases. I don't trust Kies although I've never had a really bad experience using it. I just want OTA updates like I used to have on my Nokia 4 years ago!

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.
BTW I used to be a Nokia e71/72 user myself...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

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...

Now I'm on JVS STOCK+ v1.5 and with this new Kies version , when I plug the phone and open the Kies, the message displayed is:
Firmware information
S/W version in your phone is not an official version.
Firmware upgrade of unofficial S/W version is not suported.

Kies works ok but this message didn't apears in the old Kies version.
Lol

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.

I noticed today the UK Samsung site has full instructions for OTA updates, which they call FOTA, for Firmware Over The Air.
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.

Agree with the above. LB2 is the latest, according to the numbering/naming scheme.

this LA1 is latest for europe
If you have LB1/2, i dont think you need to update, unless you have any problem perticularly in Modem.
b'coz PDA remains same for almost country, some country needs own baseband for better tuning. If you are not satified with modem, you can just update modem rather thn full ROM too.
When LB2 was not out for india, i was using LA4 from germany, i was experiencing call drop, so forced to use modem from old indian ROM.

Just checked my device and it says no update. I'm using the UK Note and haven't had any updates since last year.

If the rom is XEU rom isn't that UK rom

just saw the update via Kies...will be updating a bit later.....anyone can list the advantages?

Tried looking for it via OTA, did not find it. Connected via Kies, and did find this upgrade.
All went smoothly - despite using a Mac and running Windows Kies under Parallels. I hope that reassures anyone who was wondering if that route would work - it does, and the note is now running well with XEU LA1.
Comes on faster, launching seems quick and and Go Launcher EX seems smoother.

ralphrmartin, does superuser stay after you upgraded or must you root it again?

Doesn't work for me. Just sits there saying "Connect a Device" even after I have connected my Note. No such problem with the same Mac / Cable / USB Port / Note settings using Parallels and Kies under Windows. YMMV.
