Re-Roll out of Gingerbread

Anyone in Ireland get the Gingerbread update since its re-roll out on Samsung Kies??
Checking everyday but all I get is you have the latest firmware
Love the phone but pretty pissed off at Samsung with how slow they are to update the phones.

here we are stuck with 2.1 man, so you should consider yourself lucky
really....

its not a re rolout - they use old builds with some branding and new modems
at least that is what i can say about todays uk o2 ginge
that is jvh_jv3_jv2.tar so
good old JVH base (vodaphone had JV9)
JV3 csc i guess thats for uk o2 (vodaphones was JV5)
and some new JV2 modem in opposite to vodaphoneuk JV3
but asian ones seems to be made out of fresher build

Still no 2.2 in Mexico
There roll-outs are very poor.
I have a Samsung Omnia Windows Mobile 6.5 for years now and its never had an update. My son has the Apollo that he got about 8 months ago and again no updates.

If you're on a branded phone, maybe you should place the blame at your carrier

Well from my limited knowledge, the carrier takes the update and adds their own stuff to the update. The unbranded updates from samsung come out pretty fast.
If it's your carrier you're waiting on, maybe theyre just taking their time

While I did get my phone from the carrier it's not branded. I have put other carrier sims in it and it worked fine. Think they forgot to brand my on.
Anyway with that in mind, it must be unbranded.
Just wish they would a get a move on.

Mine was Meteor (2.2), I'm on Vodafone though, had a hardware problem and sent it off for free through Vodafone shop, got it back with 2.2.1 (JPY) on it, Kieds never gave me the option to update from 2.2, my friend's phones are all stuck on 2.2.
Bought a JIG, read up on Odin and flashed 2.3.3 (JVB)...

Thought about doing the update via odin but wanted to keep to the offical kies updates.
To much of a wimp to take the risk

So was I until I found a stock rom for my phone on samfirmware that I can flash with odin. So, any trouble - back to stock!

OK I've downloaded Z4root and I have a
Temporary Root
Permanent Root
I'm told that I can root and unroot with this app. Has anyone any feed back as I am not knowledgeable in Android whatsoever.
I'd like to root the phone then unroot it to get the Gingerbread update on Keis when it comes out.
I want to run OCLF as I getting a lot of lag issues

Could be preparation for ICS, Although that is just a guess.
Anytime i see anything about an update i just keep thinking it's ICS!!
Can't wait for it.

probably the one hand keyboard update

So XLA4 is the big update they're pushing out to everyone?
I was wondering what it was.

Yep, same here ... Mine's an unbranded, unlocked UK note (XEU) and I'm getting nothing through Kies or manual update on the phone. Still on KKA.

I'm in the UK and got the OTA update yesterday. I'm running a German unlocked Note from Expansys UK. Cant see any differences though tbh. :/

Info about the update
Hello guys!
I bought my Galaxy Note in France (I work there).
The PDA/PHONE/CSC are XXKKA/XXKK5/XXKK5.
Build info is Friday 11 Nov...
How is it possible to receive official updates (stock roms) without flashing?
Please do not start telling me to read guides and so on... I worked on Android platform and after this experience I am aware how preparing roms and custom stuff is obviously a great challenge, gives you great satisfaction, but makes the phone be more prone to crashes, memory leaks and so on.
Thank you in advance.

update
No update for slovakia, orange. just waiting for ICS

patient is a virtue tow weeks. when i bought my xoom, after 6 mounts of delays my daily routine was check for updates , not any more..

I'm sure you were joking but this actually does raise a point that people should take into consideration:
If the phone is bought from the UK but the firmware is German, then it will get German upgrades. If it's bought from amazon.de and has Chinese firmware then it will only get Asian upgrades.
It doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it matters what country the firmware is directed at. I also own a UK note which has BRI as the sales code and I don't have any update even though I live in Finland.

Really funny... If it was only a matter of geographical location just a dns static route would fix the trouble of getting updates...

I9100P ICS by the end of the month!!!

Just thought i'd try the live chat guru on o2, to see if any light could be shed on where the damnation my ICS update is, and he told me it would be here by the end of the month! (see attachment for his word for word answer)

Can't say of o2, but i9100p ics was released last week.

That was the Orange update ....

I thought my luck was here at long last.​
I spoke to Samsung couple of days ago and they have no idea when it be released as they have so many network to cater for, they say it will come out but not any time soon so I have returned the phone for same reason.
With the new Variant P even the 3 micro USB jigs will not reset the counter fingers cross they don't check it.
O2 Did not even know last week that the phone they where dispatching was not the same version and insisted that the update was out.

dont fully understand what you're saying in that post, but i got my phone updated today via kies! im now on android 4.0!!

Hi guys,
Just got back on the forum after many years.
My wife wants to know what the ICS update will do, and if it actually is worth attempting to update her 2 month old i9100 (O2/Tescos) ... e.g. pros/cons
We'd really appreciate a quick reply or link.
Thanks

well, its not quite as reliable (a few glitches here and there). it looks nice and so on. haven't noticed a lot of differences. (when signing into an open wifi network, it gives a notification that you need to accept terms and conditions - if that makes sense - which i like). if she isnt a nerd like me, who likes new things, i'd probably say don't bother. But others on here may disagree.
hope this helped

Thankyou ever so much for this!

No problem guys i'd been stuck on custom firmware and managed to update via kies using SpoofFw and saved the file as I knew people had been looking for it for ages including me lol.

I have just bought a used O2 I9100P but when I connect with kies I get:
"your device does not support software upgrading via kies"
Anyone else had this problem?
My device is identified on Kies as... PDA:KJ4 PHONE:KI3 CSC:KJ2 (XXX)
On device info:
PDA : I9100PXXKJ4
PHONE : I9100PXXKI3
CSC : I9100PO2UKJ2
Further to this when I enter *2767*4387264636#
I get:
SELLOUT SMS
[1]Sellout SMS: OFF
[2]PCode:Not Active
[3]Moderod
I also have noticed the imei on about phone does not match the sticker inside the phone.
The phone seems to not be rooted. I have no experience with rooting and flashing.
Any help with getting this phone back to stock GB or ICS and the correct IMEI would be greatly appreciated.
If I flash the Rom you have uploaded above using Odin will my Phone be back to "normal" and work as it should on Kies?

@Darius i don't know but maybe this post/thread could offer an insight. I Googled 'sellout sms' as never heard of it!

[Q] GT-I9506 4.3 T-mobile FW

Hello all,
you may have seen that the t-mobile (Germany) was released this morning.
http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9506
I am wondering if it is possible to put this FW on a vodafone (German) S4. (Unlocked) I had heard that t-mobile builds had less crap ware than vodafone, but not sure if it is true. In any case, there is no word when or if Vodafone will release 4.3, so it would be nice to have it from t-mobile otherwise.

any ideas?

Danke. I will try it.

can anyone make a Mega mirror for this firmware

Just as an FYI, I was able to flash this FW and it did work..But the radio is not that good. Much harder to get an LTE connection. I think I will try to figure out how to go back to 4.2 vodafone.

Ah OK - So the only differences between us currently is the original carrier (EE for me) and the fact that your phone was unlocked prior to flashing.
Strange though. I thought on the S7 I typically saw the OTAs before they made an appearance on sammobile.

It was lock to UK AT&T and unlocked with code.. But I don't know why is that a problem?

Since the firmware stated improve on wireless charging stability, anyone who is charging using wireless charger still encountered stop charging issue when temperature more 40°C?
Update: OK, just installed & try, still the same **** & Samsung didn't fixed it. I'm so disappointed.

Has anybody who's flashed from carrier to stock firmware been offered the OTA?
