The Samsung firmware website has only leaked versions of Froyo for now, will they be getting the "official" froyo fw once Samsung releases the official version in September?
Not sure what you mean, but any pre-releases will probably need to be wiped.
At the moment, there are very few good reasons to be using the Froyo prereleases anyway. They were probably only leaked because people got annoyed of the claims that Samsung was sitting on their arses doing nothing.
Sorry I wasn't being clear. What i meant was: Will the internet get the official froyo firmware once Samsung releases it?
I'm asking this because where I am I cannot update to froyo OTA so I will need to flash it.
Yes you will. The xda community will have it before it goes ota
i dont think galaxy s has an option of OTA updates. u probably need KIES to update firmware.

I checked with the Samsung guys here in Dubai and they flat out denied that the SGS will get Froyo OTA or through KIES. So I'll have to flash anyways

I don't think this can be true or makes any sense. OTA agree but update via Kies why not? I recently updated to XF5 via kies in Dubai and hope the froyo update also to happen via kies.
This is not an android market to worry about any copyright issues for them to stop releasing it here. Once they host in samsung I think it will appear via Kies.

ODIN is what you will have to flash with.

With only the slightest difference in hardware from the international version, someone I know here in Korea got an OTA upgrade (he has MBP and hasn't even bothered to load Kies). I think the carrier here is their closest partner and that might have something to do with it. Not sure.

it'll be OTA for cell providers that offers that service
or via KIES
we in America got already JH2, with GPS fix and lag fix
it came out via KIES

Update through Kies in Dubai, that's good to know. Btw, does the XF5 have the android market app? You see that's the major reason I flashed to JG1 (Euro) rom.
On the other hand, if Samsung does release Froyo (through Kies) in Dubai, will there be a market app for it? I wonder.

Hi fakeullu, I have now realised that the update will be pushed to your kies based on what region ROM you already have in your mobile. So in that what you said and feared was right.
Even I had a SingTel (singapore) based SGS so the update that was pushed via Kies for me was again a singapore based one. I still had the SingTel based screens.
This is the same even for the locally purchased SGS in Dubai. You will get a Middle East based ROM, having said that there are multiple versions for a single region. For example, Middle East has some 3-4 different versions of FW. and good news is that some will have Market access. (you can refer to a thread called 'Samsung secret codes). These regions are identified based on a three letter alphabetical code like xsg for singapore and xfg for middle east.
In another thread on getting android market access - somebody was suggesting a technique to get access to android market and it worked for locally purchased device. Search for that thread.
I did the same and retained a singapore version while I removed successfully the SingTel customised contents out.
Dubai people flashed it to XFG and gained market access. So the next time you connect through Kies it will only push you a version that is compatible with XFG (the one that has market access).
I am sure this helps. You don't have to necessarily go for rooting and flashing a different regions ROM as the method I mentioned above is safe and without rooting and maintaining your warranty.
Cheers

Thanks for the comprehensive answer Sany. I've flashed to JG1 (Euro rom), so technically I should receive a euro update through kies even though I'm in Dubai?
Thats correct
Well sany, I did try updating through kies but it said no upgrade was available. Just like I thought. Anyways, I'm happy with flashing when Froyo roms (official) are released on Samsung firmwares website.
This morning connected my Galaxy Tab to KIES and it prompted that there is an update !!
it took ages to download its binary files then finally after it got done, it gave me a decryption error !!
I have changed my sales code to gain access to market, could this be the problem or do i redownload the files !!
Isn't there a way to UPGRADE fw via OTA? or placing update.zip in root of sd nd flashing from recovery? (similar to HTC devices)
how do I upgrade to the latest version? help please
Cheers
Jackie
PS: Please find attached the firmware code : current and new !
Are you UK based Jackie? Just guessing as you said cheers! I've seen nothing this morning though have read there was an Android Market update which I had already downloaded and applied, maybe why I'm seeing no update.
no I'm based in UAE !! that's just teh way I speak !!
Ah right, nice to read it all the same, Cheers!
so anyone has any idea?
Jackie,
I don't bother with Kies.... It put my SGS in a right mess and couldn't be used until I sorted it out with another ROM and a different PC software upgrader by the name of Odin.
Your best bet is to go on over to samfirmware.com and check out the latest ROM's available.
I'm sending you also a link which although was written for the SGS and Froyo it's still relevant for ROM files for the Tab and how to use Odin.
See here:- How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo

First, what ROM version do you currently have installed?
Next, look at the list of ROM's available see here.
You need to find out if you are on a European, Asian, Arabic, etc ROM and decide if you want to stay on that list or opt to another nation list.
For European lists JMA is the latest. There's a topic on JMA here.
PDA: P1000JPJJ2
Phone: P1000JXJJ1
CSC: P1000OJPJJ3
is what is being reported on *#1234# and samfirmware says this is the Arabic firmware and the latest for Arabic is P1000JVJL1 December 2010, not that I'm interested in any of the region specific apps - just wondering what has been fixed in these firmwares and also if flashing would delete all my data (I'm guessing it would)
I don't mind flashing a European firmware too, so which would be best?
PS: Tab is currently rooted with OCLF set ! =)
Cheers
Hi may i ask if you do firmware update does the tab have to be sim free not lock to a network as im on t-mobile uk, i dont want to brick my tab

It should not delete any data.
The browser and camera have been improved.
The browser now scrolls smoother.
The camera focus's much better.
No idea what other improvements have been made.
It does not really matter which firmware you wish to use BUT bear in mind a number of users who have performed a lagfix have had issues in upgrading the ROM.
You MUST ensure you remove any lagfix applied otherwise you stand a good chance in bricking the phone.
Also, ensure you have access to the Recovery and download mode.
You will need this if you 'brick' the phone.

You need someone who is on a T-Mobile locked phone to answer this. I have heard of users on carrier networks who have run into issues.
Basically, unless you have a sound knowledge in what you are doing I would not attempt it until you get good solid advice.
seems like a long procedure, I'll hold off until i'm done with my exams....
also should I try KIES again? just in case ?? o.0

You can try but I'd still make sure you have access to recovery and download first, just in case anything goes wrong.

Got a similar problem... info says its P1000XXJID, valid euro firmware... Bought the tab in Hungary (Middle of europe), carrier free, and after looking at samfirmware.com's ROM list I was wondering about the updates.
Kies tells me this version can't be updated...
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Many, Many of us here in UK are having problems and are unsuccessful when trying to update/upgrade using Kies.
Hopefully Kies will get fixed properly to allow us all to use it.

Use the info from check fus and paste it in registry patcher, reboot pc - start kies - connect phone - something should happen.
I bought my Galaxy SL from Egypt; however, I've lost my original ROM. I've tried both I9003JPKD1 and I9003JPKE1 (Both are Arabic), yet kies still complains it can't update the version. I've problems with these 2 ROMs. The perfromance is sluggish and the camera hangs a lot. I need to use Kies to update to the original firmware my phone came with. Is there anyway to do this?
Kies wont update the version as Samsung has not officially released any for this phone.
you will need to flash other ROM using the Odin and all info about that is already available just check the flashing guide and be careful as you might loose your warranty.

Yes, I flashed the only 2 Arabic firmwares available on samfirmware using Odin; however, it seems both of them were signed in KSA and not Egypt. Where can I find an Egyptian ROM?
I have the same problem here
Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.
If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.
You may have to be a member to see this link but.....

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.
Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update
But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!
Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.

What is GB?
Is it any risks flashing with odin?
GB = Gingerbread. Which is somewhat irrelevant since you're seeking to go to ICS.
You appear to have an I9100T from the Middle East region. If I were you, I would go to www.sammobile.com and download an appropriate I9100T firmware from that region to flash. There is one ICS firmware for that model and region available.
And of course there are risks using Odin. If you don't know what you're doing, or use a firmware that isn't meant for your phone, you can easily brick your device.
i had the same problem a while ago. usually you need to sign into samfirmware site but try this link, it worked for me

This is because Your Csc (movinanad) is unknown.
Try this:
1.Backup your data.
2. Download this app : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
3. Use the app to change your CSC (Movinanad) code to your country.
After this process, kies should work with your phone now.
Note: the process will factory reset your phone, so please backup first.

Similar Issue
Hi there, I have a similar problem. I tried to root my phone, as I wanted to unlock it using a chainfire program, using a cnet program
I wasn’t sure which unsecure kernal to use, but i was told it didn’t matter if I was going to put a secure kernal back in, once rooted, problem is the root never properly worked, and when it would reboot I would get the samsung screen with yellow triangle and then it went black, so I tried getting to the stock using galaxys2root
but then got stuck in a boot loop, so I then had to do a factory reset through the recovery boot mode, which was fine and my phone is on, obviously all my data (apps and progress is gone) not a lot to be done there, but my OS is different, I had recently (about 2weeks ago) had an update, so when I pulled the task manager bar down, it would scroll as there were more than just 5 options to be quick clicked. also I was able to put my app menu in alphabetical order as well as little things like option to show battery % and different icon images, more defined and realistic, so basically I appear to be on an older OS but I am unable to update through my phone and kies as well, as it tells me my firmware is not supported for upgrade through kies.
I believed I was on a ICS version, though reading up about latest firmware there seems to be a later version, but apparently jelly bean? I had reason to believe JB was earlier than ICS, but maybe not? I am currently 4.0.3. If I recall I was 4.1 something though I am not 100%, but I know this OS is earlier.
Basically I miss my previous OS and dunno what more to do, extensive search is driving me brain dead, any help possible?
I also have found an accidental screenshot from my previous OS homepage and have taken a recent one just so you can see the smaller things I am describing, and hoping it helps. - can't post links yet in order to show you the exact pictures and webpages used.
Hope I am in the right place for this, also, I am not completely thick when it comes to technology and software either just better at computers haha.
Thanks in advance for any help!
