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.

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.
Hello,
I'm one of the people in Belgian who bought a g3 which was branded by a Belgian telecom provider. My brother bought the same phone, which was unbranded, and can update via Kies. Because my phone is branded, I can't update via Kies.
I'm wondering if someone can give me a link to the belgian stock firmware for either eclair (2.1) so I can update it after flashing via kies to froyo. If someone knows the belgian stock firmware for froyo (2.2), that would also be appreciated!
I looked at samfirmware, but there are so many firmwares that I don't know which is the latest one for Belgium.
Thanx in advance!

well, if it is XX, then the latest one for that series is XXJPQ...
but as you say BSEJP1...then it is I5800XWJPE according to the table of Samfirmware
i found it, thank you !
So, I downloaded the I5800XWJPE from samfirmware, but the rar file contains 3 tar.MD5 files,
one for the PDA, CSC and bootloader.
All the tutorials indicate i should go for "one package" option, but i have 3 files, without one for the phone.
What should I do?
The file names contain BOOT and other two and in odin you select Bootloader and the 2others

Lie! There's no Brazil update.
Had to flash using Odin, which I recommend.
I've been waiting for 2.3.4 XEU to be available on Kies so I can update to official firmware. But I was just thinking...why do I care if its XEU or not? I can flash an official update from another region and still switch the language to english. I am in USA on AT&T anyway so its not like even XEU matches my country.
Am I missing something here? Is there a reason it matters to be on XEU for Americans?
It can depend if your phone is branded as the carriers can block Kies updates! There are serious problems with builds before KF3 (eg wifi sharing bug) so it worth flashing to that version if your carrier is blocking Kies updates. I updated about two months ago via Kies to build KF3 (2.3.3). I am in the UK unbranded O2/car phone warehouse. I am waiting for this latest new update to arrive on my s2 via Kies.
I am unlocked/unbranded. I think I'm going to just flash another official 2.3.4 firmware from Intratech's thread and then when a UK version comes out, I'll just flash that. I'm being patient for no reason Now I just have to figure out which region's firmware to flash....

He has posted an XEU CSC version. Just used it myself. It's perfect.
Just look for it in the thread.
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKI4_I9100XEUKD1_I9100XXKI1
Yep, KI4 includes english (US) I guess, so it shouldn't bother you.
I have to stick to UHKG7 because european roms don't include brazilian portuguese...

Why not use Odin, mate? Then you can have the latest fw version.
question: I wanted to check out if the new firmware is available in my country, so i just restored (from cwm) my original firmware (cf-root kernel), reflashed a original kf3 kernel.
But Kies message is "You cannot update this device type".
Did i forgot to restore something original? besides the "root" everything else (rom + kernel) is original.
Well np i go back to miui i dont rly care atm, but in future if icecream is released, i prolly want to try it and having a working kies makes it faster.
Any suggestion?

Seriously, man. Ice Cream will be melted loooong before it shows up on KIES. If/when it shows up and you want it sooner, you'll more than likely need to flash it via Odin. KIES is limited by carrier releases. My SII wouldn't update via KIES either. Odin is the standard around here for a reason. It's safer, and it allows you to try what YOU want when YOU want it. Not when your carrier and/or Samsung releases it.

Hi,
Vodafone Spain is updating its Nexus Ones with an OTA update.
Since I'm not using the stock ROM I'm not getting it and would like to know if anybody's been able to get the ota upgrade file in order to install it manually.
Thanks.

I have a ruu.exe for 2.3.4, after wich you will be ota't to 2.3.6
For whoever might be interested.
It is available since yesterday Sept.12th an OTA update to 3110 GTAB 2 7.0
Can be found on Sammobile firmwares. Select appropriate Type, OS, model, and select "To 10 latest" on the country list.
Scroll all the way down to "OTA FILES" section of the page.
Haven't dowloaded nor tested yet, therefore cannot answer first impression questions.
Happy Flashing
Ottonet
I saw it but there is no country information.
Have you tryed it ?
I have not downloaded, nor tried yet.
Will probably not do that. Firmwares distributed as OTA on Sammobile are often preview, unstable versions, taht could be one reason why it has no country associated.
I shared this piece of information because an official kies release could be near, and I know that many of us are eagerly expecting JellyBean on our tablet.

OTA what does not have country in the list contain next regions: BTU, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO, XEU (It is can be applied as well on the 4.0.4 BTU, tested by me )
Also there published OTA for Malaysia which contain these regions: GLB,MM1,SIN,SMA,STH,THL,XEV,XME,XSE,XSP,XTC,XTE,XXV
This leak need the P3110XXBLH2 PDA version.
And I see that for France the latest firmware is P3110XWBLI1.
But there is another leak on samfirmware that will install a P3110XXBLH2 PDA version. But it need the original stock firmware without any update even official ...
It looks weird to me.
What do you think about ?
What firmware must I install to install the leak and have jelly bean ?
Thank you.

But I think there is a problem somewhere ... when I watch the properties of my tablet it show me GT-P3100 !
I've got a P3110 and I have used the P3110 Rom you recommend me and the OTA update for the 3110 ...

I guess that this release is directly derived from the OTA Firmware for the P3100 Tablet, which was released some days ago and is told to run perfectly also on P3110 models.
In fact, what I believe is that this is a test made purposedly with the intent of allowing P3110 to get the P3110OXACLI or P3110OXACLI3 pda's over the air.
The version number you see in the device properties screen is taken from the ro.build.PDA key in the "build.prop" file which is distributed along with every ROM.
No doubts that the final version will have this value updated to match the actual tablet model.
