Ok so i emailed Samsung about why they removed jp6..and what is the deal with JPM and JP6..
this is their response..
Dear Customer,
It is right JPM is a base firmware.
But open source code is same both JPM and JP#.
And file name that removed a week ago had a same name GT-I9000_OpenSource_Froyo_update_JPM.zip.
As I know, firmware update for GT-I9000''s Froyo version is already published on October 15, in Nordic Europe.
Do your question - ''samsung has removed jp6 from the Netherlands ..?'' - means public firmware? or open source code?
If it means public firmware, please send mail to technical support desk of your local samsung webpage.
( Please make use of Service for your product or Contact Us corner. )
This email address is just for open source request.
Thank you!
Sincerely yours,

Samsung Galaxy S 2.2 update
Posted: 5 hours ago
Hi folks
Thanks a lot for all your patience regarding the Galaxy S froyo update.
Our handset team have been working closely with Samsung regarding this update and future updates and would like to share their news with you.
Our goal is to make the update process smoother and we are working to become the only mobile operator offering FOTA (Firmware over the Air) updates for the Samsung product range. The aim was and still is to have the FOTA update available at some point today. If for reasons outwith our control we are unable to have a FOTA update process fully functioning by close of play today, then we will make the update available for download via Samsung KIES tomorrow (Dec 1st)
Thanks again for all the feedback you've given us through our forums.
Cheers
Barry

I wonder if they are just creating a package for FOTA or sorting out the bugs in the 2.2 update also? Probably just adding all the t-mobile crap
OTA is an interesting choice....
How do they know whether a phone has the T-mobile product code? Does that mean the update will be sent to all the T-mobile Galaxy S phones?
Or what if you originally had a T-mobile product code and now have XEU after using the KIES hack, will T-mobile try to send you the upgrade?
These are probably very simple questions, but I'm new to smartphones

I doubt they even can push it out it looks like another line to me as they said it would be out by the end of november via kies in the first place. There is still no update in kies at the moment
I have a Samsung Galaxy S. The details on 'About' menu of the phone are:
Model Number:
GT-I9000
Firmware version:
2.1-update1
Baseband version:
I9000XXJF3
Kernel version:
2.6.29
[email protected] #2
Build number:
ECLAIR
I use the phone on T-Mobile. I have no idea if it is locked, etc, but was purchased there from new (well a reseller website, not sure where it physically came from).
I have never updated this phone. This is as the phone was purchased one year ago. I have not installed any new ROMs, official or custom. I am the only owner and therefore no it has never been updated without my knowledge.
I am aware a new version of Android is out and have installed the Kies software, wishing to do this the 'official' route.
I get the following error message in Kies:
The current version is not an official release.
Firmware upgrade service for unofficial versions is not supported.
Current firmware version: PDA:JF4 / PHONE:JF3 / CSC:JE6 (TMU)
Any help at all? I really want to get this updated, especially after the hassle of install the terrible Kies software! I would prefer to do this the 'official' route without installing custom ROMs etc.
Has anybody seen such a message before? Thanks!
If your using a T-Mobile version, use Samsung Kies Mini. Search for it in google.

Thank you very much for the reply.
I am on T-Mobile UK and got the phone from them. I assume this means I am using a T-Mobile UK version. Can Samsung Kies Mini upgrade T-Mobile UK? If so, can you please provide a link? When searching via Google all I can find is Kies Mini for Mac. There are some old versions that come up, too, but these seem to be for specific phones.
If you could give any further advice on how to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 on T-Mobile UK that'd be great .
Thanks.
PS - Is this part of my original post:
Kernel version:
2.6.29

relevant at all? Should it say 'root'? I have never 'rooted' the phone. Could this be why Kies is unhappy with my firmware version? Thanks.
Try this one:
"ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=341559"
It's for US but just give it a try. After installing the software, let it update to the latest version then connect your phone. My sister's phone came from US and I used this to update hers.

Thanks for the link, I had found that before but ignored it because it does not mention i9000.
I'll give it a while incase any other ideas come in, otherwise I'll give it a go. The fact it's for the US (and you used it to update a US phone) does not give me confidence it'll work for a UK phone. I'll try it as a last resort, but I'd like to see if there are any other options for the moment.
I've given T-Mobile UK a call who were useless -If you cannot update because of Samsung Kies then you'll have to contact Samsung, not us. I contact them and they basically say 'take it into a Samsung authorised repairer'. I call my nearest one and it sounds far from a professional outfit - 'Just drop it off'. I'd hoped they could update it on the spot but I was told I'd have to leave it with them... I cannot afford to be without my phone, though.
It looks like I might have to stick to the current version I've got, I cannot get Kies to give any message other than the one in the original post... And none of the 'official' support lines are bothered. No wonder people don't bother with the 'official' releases... Though I'd like to in order to keep my warranty intact.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried contacting T-Mobile already, see previous post (relevant section below):

I'm basically left without any help from them. I'd rather not go down the Do-It-Yourself route, mainly because I do not understand all of the steps that need doing. Each guide is *slightly* different... And I've no idea which (specific) files I should download and from where... And kernel? And ROM? And.. Urgg. I also see Phone/PDA/CSC... It's a minefield for somebody that does not know enough and wanted an easy update.
I am starting to consider doing it myself but really need to find one definitive guide that I should follow.
Thanks.
Following the recent success with updating my UK model P7500 to ICS using the German official software and Odin, my brother in Canada has asked me if the same sort of thing can be to his P6210 Canada version. It appears that Canada is another Samsung Tab drought area, and he says that his battery life is below expectations. - the saesman in Future Shop told him months ago when he bought it that the upgrade to ICS was only days away - pretty much the same story that I was told in the UK, but as usual Samsung have let us all down.
There is a UK version of the ICS upgrade for the 6210 that was released months ago I believe, so I was wondering if someone out there could tell me if the update is suitable for his unit... The build number of his is HTJ85B P6210XXLB2...
I found Odin a delight to use for the non-technical like me, and he is much the same - so an Odin based update procedure would be ideal.
So...... Which is the best update to use for his machine?
Thanks
This is not the correct section as this is for the original 7" tab the P1000 and variants. You need the Galaxy Tab Plus forum and they should be able to help. Also when posting questions please check if there is a Q&A section before posting in General as if there is they belong there.
Thanks

So I bought this tablet off of Facebook marketplace and the lady that sold it to me did not tell me it was a freaking United Kingdom model. From what I've gathered it is the UK version. I wanted to ask the community is it anyway to flash this model to the newest firmware update with me being in the US.
Or just just flashing it to the US version completely. For some reason the internal storage, 10GBs of its 16GBs is taken up by something but I can not locate where or what it is.
Any help is appreciated thank you.
