It is taking forever to download, so perhaps this is the long awaited 4.1.2 update for AT&T model cameras in the USA. Wireshark shows it downloading something big from 66.114.52.19 which apparently has the highly descriptive name h0-s19.p1-iad.cdngp.net and appears to be owned by the "global cloud provider" cdnetworks (which would make sense, I suppose).
And it finished updating at last. It does indeed say it is android version 4.1.2, baseband version GC100UCAMD4, kernel version 3.0.31-1143513, build number JZ054K.GC100UCAMD4. Now I can finally try the samsumg remote camera app to see how well it works.

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
[email protected] #2
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.
My girlfriend is currently using the same phone as me, yet a different network (Vodaphone) and she is being given the option to update to 4.4.3 (Possibly 4.4.4, not too sure) when she attempts a software update.
I am with EE (T-mobile) and my phone is sitting on 4.4.2, yet when I attempt an update, I get a pop-up telling me I have the latest.
Any way around this? I'm in the UK

What do you mean by "the same phone"?
2 phones are considered as the same when they have the same Model Name + Device Type + Product Name + CSC.
Different CSC's may have different OTA updates.
You can check for those info using this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★
Hi all,
Firstly a thanks to everyone contributing to this website, i find it to be a most invaluable source of information.
I have perhaps a simple question, I want to know who pushes updates to my phone, note 3? I bought this online unlocked and when I had a look at the back behind the battery it is made in Vietnam. My phone is a SM-N900, Android 4.4.2, Baseband Version N900XXUENG1, Build Number KOT49H.N900XXUENH1.
I am looking forward to a android 4.4.4 update and then eventually lollipop.
I am confused as to whether Samsung pushes any updates directly to my phone or if it has to go through a carrier? However, my phone is not locked to any carrier although my sim is on a plan with Vodafone. Vodafone says they are testing a new update but when they released the 4.4.2 update my phone had updated prior to that and the update I have is different to the Vodafone update details, e.g. baseband version.
I hope I have included enough information to have my question answered. Sorry for the long post.
Thanks all!

Sorry but I didn't clearly understand your question. Anyway try to put some info.
In fact no one pushes an update to your phone. Samsung stores updates on their servers, and the phone will check for an update (auto or manually) if any. It is not a push mechanism.
Does this answer your question?
Hi. I received a Samsung Galaxy S5 as a gift about a month ago, but it's missing so many features I have no idea why.
My friend has exactly the same model, yet he has so many more options. For example,
I cannot edit the options for Power Saving mode
There is NO S voice on my apps page
The Sound Recorder looks just like the one from S4 and not S5, it also has NO options either, to configure it
Cannot change several options on the Camera, such as setting the brightness. The option is there, but it's greyed out, I cannot select it
I cannot update the android version. My current version is 4.4.2 and I cannot update it. As I access the 'System Updates', it does say 'Checking for update', but after a while it just says 'Network connection failed' no matter what. The signal for internet is the strongest, as well.
If I press and hold on the Home Screen, the whole options are not coming up either, such as seeing the current running applications. It just says 'Set wallpaper for', 'Apps and widgets' and 'Folder'.
What's wrong with it? Any way I can at least get the S voice?
Your phone might have a custom ROM. Go to settings -> About and list the following information so we know what we're dealing with here:
Model name
Baseband version
Kernel version

SM-G900F is the European version of S5 and from what I see there are some discrepancies with the kernel number ...
So here is my hypothesis:
A. It has the incorrect ROM, which means flashing a 900F ROM should bring back those grayed out menus
B. It is a clone and not the real thing! Try reading some more by googling this "3.4.5 [email protected] #1 sm-g900f"
Thank you for the reply. I will ask where has the gift been specifically bought from to ponder on the "clone" thesis. I really, really hope such is not the case. Also, will it only bring back the greyed menus and ignore the 'S Voice' problem?
Regarding the 900F flash, do you think it's okay follow this guide in the attachment? (Have to do it this way cause I can't post links)
I would not try to flash anything before you're sure what you have in your hands cause if it's fake and you try to flash official Samsung rom you would be in trouble. Download Phone info Samsung from play store and check there if it's a original s5
this seems to be common specs of clone s5 phones that i am guessing need the appropriate custom rom - would anyone know if the given specs/details above would be enough to identify a specific custom rom - i have the same specs and when i did a hard reset it let loose a mass of spyware, adware, downloaded numerous playstore games and porn site links all as soon as i put the phone online - i am therefore desperate to find a clean custom rom that matches the above specs - i am hoping as doves above for an appropriate custom rom source
Has anyone else seen this rom version on their ATT Galaxy Note 7?

I have that firmwarre but im not sure which is the updated version. i assume its our version based on build number
but here's the build slayd1023 has
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-note-7/how-to/sm-n930a-stock-odin-firmware-t3444006
H comes after G in the alphabet so the H version is most likely the newest version.

Pretty sure that's not how the update conventions are read
N930AUC S1APH1
N930AUC U1APGC
I think based on the starting U1AP vs the S1AP actually determines which build is more current.
Case in point (for instance)
The T-Mobile Gear S2 Firmware:
R730TUVU1AOJ7_R730TTMB1AOJ7_USA T-Mobile Full FLash Firmware (original)
R730TUVU2BPC6_R730TTMB2BPC6_USA T-Mobile_4File Firmware (update)

When you look at the image OP posted it states July. The one I posted about states August.
Therefore:
N930AUC U1APGC (original)
N930AUC S1APH1 (update)
So I am wondering, did anyone else power on their phones out of the box and bypass all of the setup process to check firmware versions before inserting sim or connecting to a network?
Is it possible I have one of the earliest revisions of this phone compared to others?
I am mainly curious now because of this whole battery failure fiasco. I really do not want to wait to get a replacement and not be able to root due to an update.
this just appeared on a google search, wasn't out there(or indexed) previously.
