UK I9000 official firmware upgrade

All,
I just got a prompt from Kies. There is an official upgrade! It offers JM1 firmware.

What firmware have you got now?

Stock - JF3

That's it? That's their fix is it? A beta firmware called JM1, where quite a lot of people have already updated to JM2 and JM5?
It does not solve a thing. The underlying problems still remain. JMX firmware merely dampens things down and is a bit more intelligent in drawing a path. It doesn't solve GPS stability issues, lock or anything else.
If this is the direction Samsung are going, then I think this sends a signal that the issue is not fixable and this is just a fudge.
Roll on October for a HTC Desire HD.

Hi All
I have upgraded to the new firmware but now i am unable to download some apps from the market place
I had myplayer on my phone before the upgrade and now when i search for it on the market its not there
Does anyone know why i cant see it my mate can see myplayer on his htc desire phone.

Ha, I bloody knew it would be one we've already seen! Unless someone can confirm this actually fixes anything I'm not letting it anywhere near my phone.

It makes sense that it's a previous leak, the official releases are always going to lag behind the leaks we get.
Presumably they thought JM1 was enough of an update and stable enough for release to justify making it official.
There'll be more, just got to wait

But this was supposed to be "We have a fix guys, yeah, we'll release it in Beta" kind of attitude.
It's not fix at all, just a flaming fudge.

No lag-fix at all? Very, very disappointed!

No one said it was a fix, just an official firmware update. Fixes will probably come out in betas first. Thanks OP for the info.

What waste the hours on 2. 1 where they should spend it on 2.2.?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

hey at least they came through with their hold up to ship new inventory using the new ROM

1. how do I figure out what firmware I am on? ( not in phone status)
2. Do I have to instal kies to update it?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I dont give a damn for any Kies notification as long as its not about an official Froyo release. Not that we all wouldnt have it by that time on our SGS already...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Use the *#1234# code on your phonecall-keyboard to see what firmware ur running on.
Kies isnt the only way to upgrade ur firmware version, its just the official way. I've used ODIN3.

Thanks!
I am on JF1...is that older than JF3?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Is there any way for us to know if this JM1 is exactly the same as the "unofficial" one?

It would be interesting to see if anyone could compare this official release to the beta release to see if any final changes have been made

Nope! I was stock .340, unrooted, and loaded this up the minute p3 threw it online. Not one problem was had, nor has there been yet. It's just like a normal update, you won't lose anything.

No you should not have to wipe data

I think it sucks. The biggest thing in Gingerbread is sip calling which has been taken out. All they did was add pretty animations. HUGE disappointment

Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

OK, so I just installed it and it worked like a charm! It runs beautifully and it is quite a bit more responsive in my opinion. I'm going to begin testing everything I can. Running the hell out of it lol.
EDIT: OK, so far I have only one complaint. The hard buttons at the bottom of the phone are now insanely bright. It isn't a serious problem, but it is definitely a significant difference that I would like to see options for.

The buttons have been overly bright on all of the Gingerbread leaks, and unfortunately they still don't work quite right, even on the OTA version. They turn off and never come back on. That's my only complaint about Gingerbread. Other than that, it's fast, smooth, and looks great. I looked at an Xperia Play today with more or less stock Gingerbread, and I have to say, it was kind of ugly compared to Gingerblur, in my opinion.

Gingerbread
So far it hasn't been too bad, but I am waiting on a ROM based off of .596.

Anyone have a link to this that is not downloading at like 10KBps or have the direct google server address? If I can ever get this stupid thing to finish downloading I am thinking of mirroring it on something that doesn't the stupid ad-bloated crap. Just going to throw it up on a directory on my web server.

OK finally got it downloaded will install it and see how it runs a bit before uploading the image.

I updated my droid x to the stock version of gingerbread last night. With the exception of a few totally unrelated incidents, it seems to be working great. Gingerbread seems to be snappy and the new ui tweaks are mostly welcome. I have not noticed a big difference between 595 & 596. Thanks to black hat team for their hard work.

They got rid of the 'Paste from Clipboard' option ...I used tthat a lot in Froyo. Does anyone know.a way to get that available?

ICS is in Malaysia now!

Malaysia user can now enjoy the long waited ICS, and update is being pushed to me this morning and I'm now a happier note user

Stop making a new thread for every Regional release of ICS...this is making things difficult for everyone...It will be released for all the regions...It's not a big deal anymore...just telling you...

Why i did not get this update? I try OTA, but nothing..

Got mine yesterday.. I would say its quite good. Just dat the system notification is a bit too soft and the lock screen sound is delayed by 2 secs. Another thing is, camera mode is not stable.. Otherwise good.

My camera stop working at the first time, need to force close the app few times before it starts working again, strange!
I'm using face unlock now hence didn't notice the delay.

lol if everyone did one for every region.. that'll be pretty annoying

Great!! Just update it via kies!! Love the creamy teast of ICS..time to explore...

Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

I barely see difference between gb and ics, makes the whole waiting a bit dissapointing. I guess for most users it is comfortable.
Ics should also be more battery efficient, dont know how Samsung managed to mess that up.
Anyway speedmod kernel is pretty good combo, for seeking to increase battery life

My note crashed abnormally on ICS after a phone call morning, the screen turned still with blue lines covered.
Battery life is like 1%/min use time, tried everything this forum suggested but still poor.

Umm, not to burst your bubble guys but you do realize that there already is a thread about the 4.0.4 stock rom? There isn't a need for more threads

Ooooh, a link to a blog which appears to rip off other blogs by copying their content word for word, linking to another blog, which links to sammobile? Awesome. Thanks for making a new thread to spam that crap. We needed more 4.0.4 threads anyway.

just recieved a firmware update , it still say's version 4.0.3

What was your previous version?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

i really hope with this update they fixed those bugs... my s2 had many problems and so my friends galaxy s2 s since the ics update .. gingerbread is still the best rom in my opinion

whats all the buzz about 4.04, its not like its a special upgrade, its still ics....
Im more interested in JB, come on guys, are we going to get it?????
I really hope so, personally i dont like ics and im still running LA4 GB, since day 1 of pretty much flashing my phone, it works for mw, ics doesnt.
So if anyone has any goss on JB, would be cool, i know the s3 and hox and note will get it, but, will we..

With JB, try waiting another 6 months.
You do not need the ROM released in your regions to install. Most of them are fine, unless you want languages specific to your region.

Upgrade to Canuck version???
OK, so I am running the Italian ROM and have rooted my Rogers 7500 tab and all is running very well; will I gain anything by "upgrading" to the newly released Canadian ROM?
Thanks

For what it was worth I was running a rooted tab with CWM installed and the update to 4.04 went smooth as butter for me, and it even kept root and all my apps that require root. No issues whatsoever.
It is MUCH better now than with 3.2 btw

Ota didn't work for me. I had to use kies

Lol I hate that the 3G people are able to get it before the wifi people. I initially gotten the wifi tablet because I was under the assumption that Samsung would release it first because Rogers would have to do their thing to it which would take twice as long.
Oh well my Nexus 7 is easing the stress of Samsung.

Rogers 7500, took the upgrade via Kies, all went good, installed cwm 5.then rooted all is good...... Sent from my GT-P7500R using xda premium

I got tired of waiting when I heard the update was pushed back to September so I went ahead and installed the Pershoot CM10 rom. Now its going to be a tough decision to go back and install the official ICS update. Either way, getting the Tab off Honeycomb made a huge difference.

And Rogers released 2 days ago according to OP. Where do they find this kind of farfetched mis-information? I know that all dates are tentative, but this is where they wet their thumbs, stick em up in the air and guess what weather it is in the Antarctic...
I am still hoping for a very near P7510 ICS release, or CM10, with limited Camera functionality, will be the way to go... Not that I won't go that path anyhoo...

With cm9 (7510) pretty much fully functional now I'm done with my weekly restores to 3.2 . When the 7510 ics releases I'll grab it just to have for warrenty purpose and upload it for people who forget to backup before they play but all the apps I use from the stock us rom work on cm9 from TB backups. Heck can even install apex launcher and touchwiz addon for the Samsungish look :good:

I am running stock US and am already over my warranty period. Lol, screw the wait! There is so much good stuff here I dont think I could go back if I tried. Once the stock firmware is available tho I will do what bertie is doing and just grab the TAR.

Cool

To be fair, they released 5 days before September. I fail to see any far fetched mis-information.
I mean they could have held the update until September 10th and still been in early September.

Congratulations! Seems even Telus' release date is before the 'official date'...
Now us Wifi guys will have to wait some more weeks before we are deemed noticed and get the non-carrier ICS update.

I'll say it again lol. I gave up on a wifi OTA a long time ago. I am on stock tweaked US ICS and super happy.
