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.
Hi first of all I want to say that i know there is a lot of threads about this but there are so many that i don´t know what to do any further so I am starting a new thread.
I have a galaxy S and wanted to update from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2 but i have been waiting and waiting and Kies always says there are not other updates.
I tried a older verision and the newest one but Kies still doesn´t let me upgrade.
Ive read a lot of threads and saw that it seems like the only way is to do it by using Odin. I read a bite in the big thread about this but i was thinking about one thing and that was if there is any better verision of flash now when android 2.2 has been out for so long? Could anyone please link me to wich files is at the moment best to use for upgradring to 2.2.
My other question is can i go from 2.1 to 2.3 directly or will this cause some problems? Is 2.3 officialy out or only in beta?
I have a swedish samsung galaxy S and verision PDA JM2 /PHONE JM1 and its not rooted. Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks a lot for the answers.
I suggest you wait Kies should soon have the official 2.3.3 firmware update .
That dont appear you can try alternative methods .

Hi in the FAQ u linked it´s a lot of info but nothing that i am searching for.
I really don´t believe in kies anymore because that program is the worst thing made.
Is there any realease date for the new KIES and has it been said that its going to fix bugs that prevents people from upgradring to 2.2?
I am thinking about going for darkys room for gingerbread verision but i don´t know if i can still be on 2.1 verision to upgrade to the newest verision.
Can also anyone answer on this question.. under programverision in the menu it says [email protected] what does that mean? Does it have anything to do with it being a swedish verision?
2.3.3 is not released so Kies cannot update something that does not exist on its servers .
Current methods of updating to unofficial 2.3.3 are all over the forum update via Odin non official firmware .
I am thinking about going for darkys room for gingerbread verision but i don´t know if i can still be on 2.1 verision to upgrade to the newest verision.
need to ask in Darky posts not something i would know about .

Everything was fine until I updated to KE2 via Kies. Now whenever I connect my phone to Kies I get this message:
This version of the device cannot be updated.
Current firmware version: PDA:KE2 / PHONE:KDJ / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
I have an unbranded, UK Samsung Galaxy S II from buymobilephones.net. I have not rooted or installed any custom ROMs.
I'm using the latest UK version of Kies.
Any idea what the problem is here? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers and Kies several times. I was not getting this message a few days ago.
Kies is probably confused because they rolled back and removed the KE2 update from the servers so as far as kies is concerned you are using a rom version that doesn't exist yet. I imagine once they release KE3 in the next couple of days Kies will return to normal.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
Kies says this device cannot be updated = their is NO UPDATE for this device you are already running the latest firmware .
KE2 is the last update so their is no update for your phone .

Not always as simple as that, when kies says "your device cannot be updated" its can be because it doesn't recognise your software version, this can happen when its been pulled from samsungs severs, you have flashed firmware that doesn't match you're csc or you're running a custom rom. Normally when you're running the current official firmware it will show you both your firmware and samsungs as the most recent. If samsung have pulled the latest update it will say you device can not be updated insted of saying you're on the latest version, we will just have to wait for a new update.

Yes thats true but in the users post he showed the latest firmware installed .
Plus i have already had one user posting today that i was wrong when i said much as you just said and with PC Hardware IF etc that do not match what's on the server .
About time Samsung gave Kies to a grown up developer anyway .

My post was because you replied to someone stating that they would no longer be able to update their phone ever again. That is simply not true.
for all the galaxy note users in pakistan, who were waiting for official ics update in pakistan. Good news for them as samsung has released a new ics rom optimized for samsung distributed galaxy notes. Stable version with fixed emmc bug. So all the peopke who are still not stisfied with their custom rom or are still unable to find a good one or who still cant figure out how to root their note, samsung has released what they really need.

Installed this. eMMC Chip Revision 0x19! In otherwise, still bad according to bug checker. Is it possible the checking app is, excuse the pan, Bugged?
AFAIK, there is nothing new in this ROM kernel, as this ROM appeared OTA today, otherwise it was released more than wk ago.
waiting for responce from OP regarding his statement, otherwise should be reported to Mod, as it may misguide and more bricking will follows.
From the Moderator
To All in this thread, to date....... there is no known stable fix for the emmc bug Yet........ Chainfire, Original_Gangaman, Reinbeau,Myself (oka1) and other Elite Developers Will SOUND THE TRUMPETS !! once a correct fix is out.
Until then, Be wary of anyone who states otherwise.....
Also, Qazibasit, don't write so poorly

linking the reference
Facebook page of samsung pakistan stated this and i am searching that post. But they replaced it and are busy boosting about their siii. I called the samsung distribution and they said they will email me and after verification. Well this is a non-wipe version and after upgrading i had my usual GB stuff restored and optimized for ics.
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.

Actually, it isn't. Hmmmm
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.

I did it.
I've got Jelly Bean on my tab.
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 ...
How this is possible ?
Have you notice the same thing ?

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.
