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'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!...

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...

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.

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.

Hi There,
Samsung_Mobiles announced OTA Update for SGS phones - check this
http://tech2.in.com/india/news/smar...axy-s-gets-over-the-air-froyo-update/188082/0
and this
http://twitter.com/Samsung_Mobiles
Can someone confirm? Is this a fake?
thts right...............
SamFirmware says, that Samsung is busy with updates over the air - sooooo.. who hat it? And from what firmware.
It should update to 2.2.1 - but which MODEM, PDA and CSC? Countries???
Please post you comments!
Isn't there a Software-Update option in settings under telephone information since the JPO firmware? You have to log in with your samsungdive.com account and then it checks for updates.
Yeah i already debranded my handset a few weeks back from Orange UK (ORA) 2.1 to stock (XEU) 2.2.1.
I registered an account for the OTA updates. If there is an update available will i get stock ORA updates or the standard XEU ones?
I hope a window pops up giving info about the firmware update before it installs.
OTA Update allover the world via Kies?!
Samsung_Mobile says via Twitter:
OTA Froyo update for Galaxy S is being rolled out all around the world so till the time its available for most of us, please use Kies.
Does someone get it?
At a guess it is the same as the JPY update for XEU that those of us in the UK with unbranded S's have had since December.
I registered an account for the OTA updates. If there is an update available will i get stock ORA updates or the standard XEU ones?
Firmware is from your Product Code in your case from Orange so it the Orange updates you get .
jje
This doesn't sound right at all. 2.2 does not have OTA option, so how can we have OTA updates when many countries doesn't even have 2.2.1??
P/s: not that I don't believe the OP, but more on samsung's word...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Are there two threads about this? I have just posted on another to say that Facebook Samsung Mobiles is not an official Samsung web presence. It is also saying that the update is 2.2.1 but as you have to have 2.2.1 to access OTA (they were only enabled in 2.2.1) then it looks like a cockcup on the posting front or a deliberate mistruth.
Pfff.... its only a announcement for Vibrant...

I'm using the official 2.2.1 and OTA updates are enabled but lately i get a lot of error messages stating connection failed.
+1 on the connection fail. I occasionaly have a quick check for any updates and the fail response has only been returned in the past week
Me Too
Also only had "connection failed" on checking for OTA updates recently (current firmware 2.2.1)
Yup, I'm having the same "Connection failed" stuff when it comes to the update menu.
I don't get Samsung... I asked via twitter and they sayed, that there is no OTA...
What is over the air and why it is better than Kies? Who produces ota google or samsung?

Version number 2.0.011044_11 now available to update
Mine's just updating now. Hopefully this is a precursor to Gingerbread.
Updating mine also. (58 Meg)
Samsung KIES says JS5/JPY/JS3 is the lastest firmware.
I came from MIUI and now im on JPA/JPP/JP2.
Still no gingerbread with update
@amwebby I really hope it is a precursor to gingerbread. I've been trying to stick to stock rom until at least after gingerbread update but I'm getting a little sick of the wait. Let's hope when it comes that it's 2.3.4
I'm on version 2.0.0.1032_12, in the UK and Keis tells me that I have the latest version installed.

No. Kies is updated when new phones are released or they fix/change any of the built-in (bloat) features. Kies supports galaxy S, ace, wave, galaxy 5 and a whole bunch of other phones. If they needed to update Kies every time they release a new firmware we'd be updating every day. The only time a Kies update has been needed for a firmware launch was when they changed the download servers.
Same same
I think it's the same.
We wont get Gingerbread before SGS2 is available.
One reason for me thinking this is that the bigest carrier in denmark has declared that is will release the SGS2 in week 19, same week as Gingerbread is comming to there branded SGS phones.
PS. Got the Kies update in Denmark as well.
I don't think they updated it for the GB release cause those were already online a while as we all know so I guess theres no update required for them.
Version 2.0.1.11053_99
Not sure what's different yet.
Version 2.0.1.11053_99

Probably more of the same .
This needs a complete rewrite to match other Smartphone products its a big let down for Samsung users .

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..........

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?
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.

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.

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.
