I currently have KE7 - is this the latest?
Should be KF3, according to Intratech's thread. Check on Samsung Kies and see if there's an update for your phone. Here's the link to Intratech's thread:

Kies won't upgrade since it was rooted and CM7'd but I had to switch back since CM7 doesn't support our Exchange Activesync Settings.
I think I have the latest now.
Baseband is KE7
Build Number is KF3
Thanks for your help.
Yes, that's the latest on 02 in the UK. Just checked on Kies.

Hi guys,
I'm currently frustrated my phone and keep checking Kies daily hoping there will be an update for O2 on there and so far there isn't
Can someone advise me if there is a release on the horizon or if there is a way to update my phone to the latest releases? I've looked on the threads in the development threads and there's 100s of posts and I'm a little lost on exactly which files I need to upgrade.
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100XXXKE7
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555
Build: XWKF3
Cheers
That is the latest from O2 UK KF3.

Your choice but many say KH3 modem is better battery life .

Anyone know of any news on a official release?
Getting really f$%$% off with the MMS constantly going off and having to enter the settings again, crappy battery life and numerous other problems.
Is it worth just wiping it and using the CPW version?

Just updated!!
Cant wait to try it out.
To be fair the updates are fairly minor compared to the leaked JVK firmware, but at least we are getting something supported.
I guess a screenshot would be in order for the unbelievers

Same as me But no update for me yet what version of kies are you using??..please.
I've added a couple of pics.
I've got a UK unbranded SGS running JPY at the mo and in KIES all I'm getting is I'm running the latest firmware so no update for me I guess
Same here....JPY XEU Stock
Used KIES 2.0.0.11032_12
Any idea why they would release former the XXJVK firmware in the UK and another one in the Nordic countries (XWJVB)?
It seems to create needless fragmentation in the base-OS and it really makes me question what updates, if any, are in the XWJVB firmware compared to the formerly leaked JVK-one.
what is different with jvk and JVB
Those firmwares support different CSC codes, the ones managing network services of your phone. Every country/region has its own set of supported bandwidth or technology that is why there are multiple versions of firmwares.

JVK - does it mean PDA part is identical to the leaked JVK?
What are the build dates?
I expected few bug fixes, but JVK suggests it's exactly the same (PDA part) as leak?
JPY is still the latest for me - unbranded XEU
To be honest i'm really happy with the phone since JPY, need to keep reading about GB to see if its really any better and worth putting on, unless anyone has a few things to say about improvements over JPY?

i think i never updated my firmware as often on any device as on my gs when i bought the phone i was almost sure samsung wouldnt do a thing for the customers but i was soo wrong. thumbs up!
Got an error here (failed to convert) from Kies.
Isn't it JVH? JVO is the modem version imho.. you might want to rename the post.
No News from Samfirmware yet ?
To install it from Kies do I have to undo my ext4 lagfix or does Kies do a full update no matter what I modified?

Ok i just plugged into Kies and got the notification for

Does everyone have this update?
And has anyone figured out what this update fixes or adds?
Just so all the people who aren't sure what they getting or, potentially, losing have a better idea.
Also any ideas why the big skip in numbers between KE2 - KE7

Odd... I am running the update right now while typing this...
You got the latest Kies intalled?
Possibly not and have to wait for my wife to stop playing Solitaire a minute before I can check. I'm pretty new to Android and Samsung. There definitely isn't a Kies for Mac is there? I can't find one
There is a Mac version on the following Samsung page.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...500BAAXEU&prd_mdl_name=GT-S8500&srchword=Wave
I don't know if it will work with the GS2.
It isn't working for me yet. Says I have the latest firmware version with KE2.
It is probably because my product code is FOP. Is there anyone without the XEU sales code getting the update with Kies yet?
And now, as with every update in the months/years to come, I'll install it hoping it fixes the banding issues on my screen, while audiophiles install it hoping it will improve sound quality...
And we'll probably see no difference at all

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...

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!...

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:

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.

Just checked on my unbranded (XEU), Kies says my firmware - KI4 2.3.4 is the latest

Its an unlocked phone from p4u unbranded and I'm on three, but theres no sim in the phone when I've connected. I've not downloaded it yet its still plugged in an showing. I didn't really want to be first trying it because my phone has no problems and I don't want to lose the 5x4 icon setup unless I'm forced too and I don't know whether this will do that to my phone. By the way its never been upgraded yet from its original rom of KE7 KE4 KD1.
Firstly Kies wont remove any of your apps/settings, if you have rooted the phone you will lose this. It sounds like you are being offered the upgrade to 2.3.4 which has been out a while. 2.3.5 is the one we are waiting on which is a different KI4.
Is there anyway I can check for you without going through with the full upgrade, the other day I handled a new galaxy w in p4u and that had 2.3.5 in it I took a photo of it, every write up and comment on that phone says 2.3.3. Lets hope things have moved on, but as I said in op didn't really want to try it first.
See attached
Thank you. I've been reading about the Kl4 in the discussion thread thats not officially out , I don't supposed you would care to comment on whether its worth my upgrading,whats the balance of losses and gains you find in this release as apposed to the one I've got.
It's up to you whether you want to upgrade the fw, if you're on 2.3.3 I would do it, we could new waiting a while for Samsung to release 2.3.5 on kies for unbranded phones.

It seems to me that it is faster than KI3 and with better battery life.
The only difference is that it is official now!
Happy flashing!
The XXKI4 is not the same as the XWKI4. Both have been available in the firmware thread in the dev forum a while now.
Thanks for that. I have flashed and had the fastest kies flash ever. Thanks for the info.
