[Q]Dutch XEN Official Gingerbread 2.3.3 stock rom

Hi guys. I saw on samfirmware that stock ROM CSC: I9000XENJV4 is available for download. I'm guessing this is Netherlands official GB 2.3.3 stock rom. Unfortunately if I open Kies to update my phone it says that I'm using the latest firmware (2.2.1 CSC = I9000XENJS3; I9000XWJS5).
Has anyone managed to update to GB directly using Kies to this version?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I think I9000XENJV4 is only available on samfirmware at the moment. I'm also on 2.2.x and kies doesn't show updates.

Samfirmware was wrong, see his tweet some moments later:
@SamFirmware Update KIES for Netherlands not online yet. Galaxy S.

Samfirmware shows firmware-files - i just flashed my SGS with the xen-firmware and it works like a charm... So the update may not be available through KIES but the firmware files are available from SamFirmware.com

I do not understand this Samsung policy..why Nordic countries got it months before....testing purposes or what??

I guess so. I used the Nordic version a long time

Thank you very much for your answers. I thought it is something wrong with my phone or kies since I cannot find for that specific CSC. In this case I'll be waiting a little bit more. Anyhow, it's weird that XEN firmware isn't out for gingerbread since NEE is out for more than one month.

Now available by kies I9000XWJVH/I9000XENJV4/I9000XXJVO/I9000XWJVH

Is there any way to know what are T9 and swype languages in this rom without having to flash it?
Or any other rom for that matter?

Startup sound is not smooth on my phone but interrupted. Same with voice announcements in the Osmand navigation program. MP3s play fine though.
Had some problems with widgets. Songbird needed readding the widget after program restart.
Jorte calandar had its widget not showing. After updating some fight to get it to work with the Google calendar, but that was not 2.3.3/JVH's fault.

I'm on GT-9000 / 2.3.3 stock /I9000XXJVO/GINGERBREAD.XWJVH/ stock kernel at the moment still as well.
Used the last voodoo before on Froyo but I'm not too keen on flashing anything right now right away to root again. I'd love to get voodoo on it again (mainly because of the audio features and obviously the lagfix) however the latest voodoo kernel for gingerbread on JVH stll seems to be based on older sources then the one samsung just released from what i've read.
As soon as there is a stable Voodoo (without the word "hack" in it) for JVH, i'm flashing

At least I have 3 button combo's now working after updating to the 2.3.3 XWJVH XEN. They didn't work for me before!

Hang on that is interesting!!
Mine worked before and still do, but a friend of mine has one that didn't have the 3 button combo so im interested to see what'll happen there.
Dit yours never work or did they stop working after a custom rom?

3 button combo indeed start working after this update
I just checked mine, after reading the thread and yes I can confirm mine never worked before but after this update to 2.3.3,it started working.
That's nice.

That's because the gingerbread update contains the SBL (Secondary Boot Loader).
The sbl is responsible for the 3-button combo.

JVT (2.3.5 via KIES) What is new

What is new/different in this build? The only things I have noticed is the perpetual scrolling and blue end of page buffers. There must be more than that surely?

The only other thing I've noticed is social media integration with contacts. Details from Facebook, Twitter, Linked, Skype etc no longer show as unknown but are correctly identified.

Well, dint expected for quick official release of 2.3.5. Anyway, many of us had this long time ago.

still wifi dhcp bug is present???
currently i am on 2.3.4 JVR stock with semaphore 1.6, I don't want to take the risk as I only use wifi as my internet source

What about Phone FC in the leaked JVT, The official JVT it is said to be identical with the leaked JVT???

Wrong thread
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I don't have any wifi dhcp bug but then I never had it before.

Can it be confirmed that the version released by KIES is the same as the leaked JVT?

I have seen some changes in the official release from the leaked...for example the overscroll in tw3 launcher and in the menu...at least i think so...

blue overscroll glow

It seems to be the same. Though I can't speak for specifics.

Just updated and now cannot conenct to mass storage.
On Kies connects at times. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. No use!
Have noticed that if you connect USB to charge the phone while it's OFF the phone will switch ON. Useless Idea.

Can someone please post the official Kies ROM? I want to get back on the official upgrade paths, as I'm passing my phone on.
I'm currently on JVS with XEU installed, but I can't see this update

I have JVT from the leak. Kies says its the current version. So that should be fine!

Weird, i just flash to JVT from the file RAMAD posted. When connected to kies it mentions this version of firmware cannot be updated.

New KL3 Build quite an Improvement!

Very fast intraOS movement. Browser also seems plain faster.
System and call sound better also.

I've got the Sheep ROM.
How would I go about getting and installing this? I can't do OTA upgrades because they don't come because I have a Custom ROM.
I can't do Kies, because it says it can't do SW updates.
Are you using a Custom ROM?

I wiped all (which you must do if coming from an odex'd rom) and installed Cassies V4 Rom with the new build and modem....then Abyssnote kernel?
Even without kernel...you can tell right off the build is a big stepup.

Don't think I answered your?
There's a thread in Dev section that has the link to the files
http://www.multiupload.com/8P1M2BGMXY
You can put on your phone and flash from recovery.

This soft is an improvement. It's far from satisfactory( android is still choppy as hell comparing to other OSes) but it's a step in the right direction.
I can report a better Wi-Fi range - I'm getting signal in some places in my house where I couldn't before.

No choppiness here...thing flies.

Does stock browser power saving levels works (any change in screen brightness)?
For me it worked well in KKA but not in KL3 .
Please test this for me.
Thank you.

KLx series has problem with STK. I always get FC with my STK film. But I do not have any problem with KK1.

Confirmed. KL3 feels a bit faster.

This update has made a massive difference for me. I'm using ADW and widgetlocker and the phone now feels properly connected to my inputs on the screen, lag is pretty much gone. Much happier with the feel of the phone now.
I flashed through CWM and installed CFroot kernel for KL3 at the same time.

This things screams compared to KKA. I lost pinch to zoom in my Gmail Client. Anybody have any ideas about that?

Is this an update that we will get OTA? And what region are you guys in?

Hi LordManhattan,
When I tried OTA, it says that my software is up to date. But when I connected my Note with Kies, it told me that there is a KL3 update. (From the Philippines but currently located in India).
For the record, I havent updated the software yet. Will do so by the weekend.

Updating via Kies
Question:
How do you update GNote via Kies? Is it through Kies Air? If it is through Kies Air, how? I do not see any Check Update button.
Or do I need to connect my Note to my computer via USB?
Thanks!

Ensure USB debugger is off, connect phone via USB. Launch kies. Wait for pop up. Check if you have the latest Kies if needed.

Damnit. Running Ubuntu, so no Kies for me. Anything else i can do?

Bell unlocked GT-I9000M (Galaxy S) hung on startup screen

Dummy me, I was trying to root the KG3 (2.3.3) firmware and made a mistake and messed up my phone. Now it just hangs on the startup animation. I can still get into download mode, so my question is, how do I get it back up and running.
Directions with Odin (I presume) and a stock Bell KG3 firmware????
Any help would be appreciated.

Found that just a few minutes ago, thanks. Phone is now up and running, albeit, I'm gonna need to remove some apps as they're FC'ing. Luckily I have a backup (not that recent, but it'll do) of my contacts.
Since I'm here, I wonder if I shouldn't just throw the latest and greatest on it. Hints???

You know your phone is pretty much an I9000 with an m on the end. If you want to use the latest JVU then go for it. It's as simple as using only the jvu pda file and using the 2.3.3 ugkg3 phone and csc files... Flash same way in odin. Then flash chainfire to get root.

Thanks, I appreciate the guidance.
I managed to load JVZ on the phone successfully and have rooted it with the corresponding Semaphore.

I have the same phone. The build date was july 2011 as the screen on my first one (build date july 10) cracked completely.
With both phones, i've been doing custom roms on it since i received it back from bell in january 2011 (due to the froyo upgrade issue).
I would definitely suggest Team icssgs (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.03). Been running it now for 5 days and really really enjoying the phone more. But that's me .. i was using DarkyROM JVU previously and had freezes when i tried to use the video camera, and trying to view my contacts.
Good luck in your decision...

Official ICS on A501

Just to let people know, Acer have come to the party and issued ICS version 4.0.3 on the A501 in New Zealand. It installed as a normal update this morning. Mother and child are both doing well!
Feels slightly snappier and of course things are not quite where they used to be but can usually be quickly found.
Now all I have to do is root it to get rid of the rubbish...er sorry Acer, I mean useful add-ons.
Trust this is not old news!

Awesome! Any chance of posting a few screenshots?
What version of Android were you running beforehand? I'm still on 3.0.1 and still haven't received the ICS OTA (currently System Update says 4.031.26 is available however I'd like to go straight from 3.0.1 to 4.0.3 if possible) although so far it seems like ICS has only been pushed out to a few people

Pretty sure I was running 3.02, suggest it doesn't matter what your previous version is/was. No significant screen differences and I don't think I could manage a screen shot anyway.
Looks like they have updated the GPS configuration file to set it up for parts of the world other than North America which is a great improvement for me.
Guess they will be progressively updating to ICS throughout the world so it will eventually work its way round to you wherever you are.

Since the update to 4.03, when I use the Swype keyboard I occasionally get a message that the Swype version has the wrong resolution for my device.
Is anyone else using Swype seeing this and does anyone know if it can be "fixed" by uninstalling Swype and reinstalling the Beta?

Hi,
Just to let you know that ICS (4.0.3) is available in Belgium too

Grrr ... I was hoping the update would arrive while I was still at home with a nice WiFi connection. Guess what? It's showing up tonight, just after I left for our holidays ... and there's only a measly Edge connection available here.
I even had to trick the A501 into downloading it by connecting it to "WiFi" ... my HTC HD2 ... and I even had to hack that one, the tablet wouldn't pick up the Windows Mobile 6.5's WiFi router signal, so I had to start Android from SD ... downloading the ICS update at 10K/s now.
Hopefully it'll be done by tomorrow morning, but there's no way I could have waited until the end of the holidays :grin:
