If you have recently purchased the latest SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro handset then we will see on how you can update to the latest firmware of Android 2.2.2 version from the current version of either 2.2.1 or even 2.2 Froyo version. There are many add-ons which have been included in this update of Froyo 2.2.2 version which we will see in the due course of this article. Please note that any one from any part of the World can proceed and update their device of SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro handset but the only condition being that you should ensure that your phone is not a network locked handset which means that your handset should not be network locked which means that in other words it should be SIM FREE. The simplest way to find whether the device is network locked or not then you can just find by a simply trick that is if you see any operator’s name on the phone then it’s a Network locked phone and this update is not for you guys. The reason being this update will or will not work on this phone is because all the network locked phones are only updated with the Operator as it has some dedicated applications. This all new update of SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro is dubbed as Froyo JPKC4 which we will look on how you can update with the same.
So, let’s proceed and see on what are the things which you will have to look out for before updating your phone as well as while updating your phone. So it’s highly recommended to follow the instructions carefully before proceeding to the update as if you don’t follow the instructions which are mentioned below then there is a high probability that you may even brick your phone and your phone may turn into an expensive paperweight after which your device may or may not become repairable or irreparable.
There are several improvements which have been done. Please note that there are no changes if you compare with the version of. Please note that many users keep repeatedly address the issue of NO INTERNET CONNECTION working after the firmware update, for all those i would like to say that since the firmware upgrade process will be undergone all the APN Settings which are responsible for the Internet access will be wiped and you will have to reconfigure them all to get an Internet access and in the same way you will also have to configure all the MMS settings to be able to send the MMS from your phone after the firmware update.Also, updating this firmware in any manner will not void the warranty or spoil the phone as long as you are following every single instruction which is mentioned below. Please note that in any manner that is in part or in whole we can’t be held responsible for anything and this firmware is not recommended for all those whose phones are network locked.
Pre requisites for Firmware update:
Please note that before proceeding to the updation of the Galaxy Pro, ensure that your phone is having the model number as Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 and not any other similar looking phones as if you install with this firmware then some of the functionalities won’t run and could even lead to serious damage to your phone.
Ensure that all data which is present in your phone is backed up in your computer which can be done by using the Astro File Manager application. Also, you can manage all contacts by syncing all of them with the Gmail.
Next up ensure that you have removed the SIM card as well as the external SD cards if any in the phone,
After this, ensure that you keep some things like USB cable which you have got with your Galaxy S GT I9000 and also the Galaxy S device,
Most importantly you need to ensure that your phone has atleast75-80% of battery power left, this is just an advisory which if followed then you will not experience any difficulties as while updation of the device the battery consumption is at a maximum,
Ensure that your computer / laptop which runs on a XP, Vista or Windows 7 OS the firewall and other antivirus programs are disabled and also you should have admin privileges to download and install the software including the drivers and also along with this you will be requiring the USB port on your computer which supports USB 2.0.
(Optional) Many of the Galaxy Pro users have reported the problem that they are unable to get into the download mode which is the top most necessity for updating your device, so for all those we came up with a tutorial here, just follow the given instructions and you can easily fix the download mode and also the recovery mode bug. This procedure is only for those whose devices unable to get into the download mode and the recovery mode.
Please note that flashing with the firmwares doesn’t mean that you are ROOTING Galaxy Pro. If you have flashed with Voodoo Lag fixes then too you can easily flash your device with this firmware.
Ensure that you have closed the KIES completely and also disable any firewalls, antivirus if any. Be rest assured as all the files which are mentioned in this article are safe and virus free.
Procedure to install Froyo 2.2 in SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro :
First of all you will have to download the Froyo JPKC4 2.2 Zip file from here and need to unzip the same to get the files and also the flash tool Odin too will be contained in this. Please note that in the process of extraction, if you are prompted to enter any password then enter the password as “samfirmware.com” without the inverted comas. Preferably, extract to the desktop so that you can easily find the file for flashing it to your phone. Please note that you should not rename the file in any manner or else the files won’t be recognized by the flashing tool which is Odin in this case.
Now, after finishing the download you will have to now ensure that you are turning your phone off so that the download mode which is nothing but the safe mode is activated in your phone. After turning Off the phone, you will have to first push the “Q” button to enter in to the download mode which will look like as shown in the below screen shot. If you have successfully entered into the download mode then you will see a green screen which is shown below. Also, additionally note that if the device boots in the normal mode with the home screen then you will have to again switch off the device and retry the process and if despite retrying you are unable to get into download mode then you will have to fix the download mode error for your phone. You can see the download mode screen on how it looks like.
Now, after this you will have to connect the phone to the computer where you have downloaded and extracted the zip file from the above link. Please note that while connecting the USB cable you will have to make sure that the Odin software is open as mentioned and shown above, as soon as you connect the phone to the Odin, the ID COM block will turn yellow after which you will have to enter the files by clicking on the corresponding options as shown below,
BOOT – APBOOT_B7510JPKC4_CL968357_REV00_user_low_true.tar.md5,
Phone – MODEM_B7510JXKC2_REV00.tar.md5,
PDA – CODE_B7510JPKC4_CL968357_REV00_user_low_true.tar.md5,
CSC – CSC_B7510OJPKC2_CL951730_REV00_user_low_true.tar.md5,
As soon as you feed in the files, you will have to double check the same and then you will have to proceed and click on the “Start” option to start the firmware update process. After clicking on the start, you will see that the firmware will be installed in your phone within a time of not more than 5 minutes.
Now, you can see that the flashing process is being in process and you will have to make sure that you don’t interrupt the flashing process as this may be fatal for your phone. So, after few minutes of time you will see the Odin screen as shown below,
Now, that’s it as soon as you see that the above screen is shown in the Odin, you will have to wait for the home screen to see in the phone and there you go, you have now successfully installed the latest firmware of 2.3.3 Gingerbread for your Galaxy Gio Android phone. Now, after this you will have reset the phone just to ensure that all the cache data is erased which can be done by following the below step.
For checking on which firmware you are currently on, you will have to go to the Settings > About Phone> Firmware Version where you will find the version of Android OS where it will show 2.3.4. As you can see above that we have shown some of the images of latest Gingerbread update of 2.3.3. So, let us know if you face any sorts of issues as we will see to it that all issues are resolved. Alternatively, you can also dial *#1234# to check the version number.

Thanks for full guide.My phone stopped suddenly during update process now it won't go to "Downloading mode" by pressing Q+power key any more.Is there any solution to this?
Please help.
Root MethodAmazon has just released a new firmware update, blocking the fastboot commands necessary for root/custom ROMs (fastboot boot). We need more information about this update. If people could update their tablet to this latest version without getting it stuck in the botloop, we could see the information regarding the update and get root out for this ROM ASAP. Thanks to anyone who sacrifices root/ROMs for development.
List of things you can't do:
Downgrade to an earlier release
Boot a .img from Fastboot
List of things you can do:
Install and use the Google Play Framework and Services
Root
Install Custom ROMS via FlashFire
Remove Lockscreen Ads
Remove Amazon Bloatware
Feel free to comments things that worked/didn't work on your device.
ANYONE WHO IS ON 5.0.x AND WANTS TO GO TO 5.1.1 WITHOUT ANY COMPLICATIONS AND KEEPING TWRP, GO TO THIS LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3265594
Can anyone test if the Google Framework Install tutorial works on this update?
It does.
However, DON'T TRY TO DOWNGRADE BACK TO THE 5.0.1 FIRMWARE. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. I found that out the hard way. It's stuck in a preloader reboot-loop.
Added list of what you are able to do on the update.
Can someone with a brand new Fire & an open wifi network within range, confirm that it will not automatically connect to wifi? I would appreciate it greatly.
Yes, I do believe that you should have to agree to connect to wifi. And that's what I vaguely recall from my Fire. But I'd like to be 100% sure. Don't want to take the slightest chance. My friend has a new fire in the box & has an open wifi network within range of their place.

You have to go through the setup, but originally I just skipped that part, even though I was next to a Starbucks, and it didn't connect.
Doesn't Starbucks wifi require you to click to agree to their terms of use before you can freely browse or download? So Internet would not actually be available initially to the update script.
Pretty much, I trust amazon on this issue, as far as I can throw them. I don't want to presume that a OTA proccess won't silently connect, while the Fire otherwise appears to be waiting for the ok to connect to wifi.
Bloat removal
Hi just to add this thread it looks like you cannot remove any of the bloat as I was able to do on 5.01

Thanks, added.
This is bullsh!t. the ENTIRE reason about 5,000 people bought this tab last week is because of root, fastboot and CM. If I get my tab soon I can offer any assistance you need. I'm not sure if it will be possible to dump any part of the system, boot, etc. without fastboot or twrp, but I'm sure we could figure something out.

Has anyone tried kingroot on 5.1.1?
Experts please take a look at this
What was changed in OS 5.1.1?
If anyone can get the frimware update or capture it id like to test it out
running 5.1.1 & all I could manage to load was Google Account manager. The rest (Framework Services, etc) says something like "App not installed" & nothing else, every time I try.
scratch that..... found found a couple that did load for me.
Damn! I did this (tried to downgrade, got bricked) a day before you posted this. I should probably replace mine...
My unrooted Fire upgraded to 5.1.1 last night before I had any idea it was coming. I'm willing to try whatever is needed to assist with further research if I could be of any help.
unlikely it would work, but did anyone on 5.1.1 try
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrpfilename

Follow these instructions to get through the initial setup without updating:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-complete-the-fire-tv-initial-setup-without-updating/
Then you can briefly unblock updates just long enough to see which one it's going to try to download. If it's 5.0.5 (537174420) then let it through, but if it's 5.0.5.1 (537175520) kill the power. There's no way to force it to take 5.0.5 if it tries to download 5.0.5.1. If it tries to download 5.0.5.1, all you can do is hope that rbox is able to release TWRP for the Stick and hope he releases a 5.0.5 ROM.
I am in it system 5.0.5 (537174420) but not sure why the 5.0.5.1 (537175520 has been downloaded but not installed yet waiting for the stick to be not in use, so I need a step by step to delete the download file in the cache before It got installed!

that guide and video are ancient, have you ever even attempted this specifically on a fire tv stick anytime in the past 2 years or even remotly recently? the video is from 2014 , i think it needs to be updated because it does not work at all any more
my fire TV stick says manufactured in mid march 2016 according to the serial #
also in the wifi password menu screen the cancel, advanced ,connect buttons are at the bottom not at the top like in the video
the guide doesn't work , the fire tv stick will not go past the error screen and get to the registration screen, there is no way to get to the registration screen using that guide
i do everything the guide says exactly, when it says connection successful i pull the ethernet cable from the back of my router going to my modem and before it gets to the checking for updates screen
then it just hangs at checking for updates for like an hour and finally goes back to the error message screen, i hit the back button like you said,i re enter the wifi information like you said and hit connect again , pull the cable once it says connection successful and before checking for updates
same thing happens every time, one giant loop
hangs at checking for updates, goes to error screen ,hit back , re enter wifi settings ,hit connect, pull cable at connection successful ,hangs at checking for updates , goes back to error screen ,hit back, infinity
your guide is old and doesn't work any more
obviously it has not been tested anytime recently and they changed something hardware of software wise in the mean time
your guide says it was "updated" but what does that even mean? yeah you update your guides but do you actually retest them with new hardware for all 3 products 1 ,2 and stick?, i highly doubt it
i highly doubt that this guide was ever re tested recently with a fire stick ,one manufactured recently with a new fw like the one before the latest or whatever fw they were shipping with in mid march
go take a ride down to best buy and pick up a new fire stick and retest it then return it see if it still works, check the SN to see if it's made in 2016 ,i bet it won't work
The way I did it :
you cannot register the stick without the update downloading, at this point you are still in 5.05 make sure you do not restart the device I was not able to find the bin file with ES so I put King root in there with adbfire succeed to root it although it start to say fail but before I start the rooting again it says root so from this I used the regular adb guide from http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-block-software-updates-on-the-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/#root method 1 even after restart still at 5.05. I checked system update it give me error not still blocked by the open Dns I do not dare to remove it yet, firestarter is installing Kodi so I guess I am in business the only minor problem with fire starter the regular amazon home menu is truncated 3/4 of the screen maybe because of 4k TV and I do not have this issue with the rest of the links like your videos tv shows etc !
I just got this tablet from Amazon and it came with Android 6.0 and it says there is not an update available. How do I get stock 7.0 on it? I had read reviews that said it was updated which is one of the reasons I bought it.
I never got an OTA for 7 I had to use Firmware Finder in the play store. It found it, downloaded it and installed it.

Here’s how I upgraded. Reposted from another forum.
The update checker was a non-starter for me until I used it with firmware finder and bypassed having to use a micro+SD card in order to upgrade to EMUI 5. First, I picked the 2.5gb file option within firmware finder which is basically EMUI 5, chose the get an update using dns beta option. Added the dns address that firmware finder provided to my wifi settings by holding down your wifi, choosing modify network, tick advanced options, change settings to static, and then change the dns to the one provided by firmware finder. From there, it downloaded the file, but once finished it passed it on to Huawei's upgrader app and it took over from there. Just remember to remove the dns address from your wifi settings when finished. As I mentioned didn't need to use a SD card and once finished, checked the Huawei updator again and there was another small update available. I thought it was the easiest way to upgrade without having to do too many steps. Once the file was passed on to the Huawei upgrader, it did all the work.
Mediapad M3 Upgrade
Dear friend I have also bought these wonderful tablets these days, I have the same problem, so I installed "firmware finder" app so I can download the new firmware for emui 5.0 btv-w09c100b302, I do not know if the procedure is correct, light forums before upgrade, I would like someone to tell me if I can proceed safely with the upgrade, thank you
I posted how I did it above and it’s correct, and it’s safe. Follow the directions.
okay it's not super clear with Firmware Finder version 6.6 but I finally watched enough videos to figure it out.
Install Firmware Finder
Tap on your model number (should pop up right away at top)
Tap on latest FULL version
Check Firmware access
Tap IN-APP PROXY
Goto wifi settings and press hold your wifi
tap modify
show advanced
PROXY select manual
Proxy hostname: localhost
Proxy port 8080
save or connect
Go to Settings
system update
check for update. It should then show an update. Tap and let it download and install.
Edit: I do not recall having to change the DNS setting. I just checked and mine was still set to DHCP so I am sure I did not change it. Once done with update though do go back and remove the Proxy setting.

I got a BTV-W09C128B005 FW version (USA from Amazon). Updater didn't show any updates. I downloaded a two folder update. I unpacked them (.zip) and put on an SD card under 'dload'. I pressed the vol up/ vol down and power to start the update. It worked and went to BTV-W09C128B350. I then deleted the contents of the 'dload' folder on the SD card, and replaced them with the unpacked USA data upgrade files. The data folder included a lot of app .apks including one called 'bluetooth'. The force update for the 2nd set of files took very little time, and it didn't seem to do anything. It didn't update or install any apps from the data folder, and the vers. stayed at B350. Now bluetooth won't turn on, and the 'update' app is missing from the 'settings' menus. I can't use the other update methods because they use the missing update app.
Huawei cust. support chat assured me that the Android 7 update (OTA) would arrive if I was patient enough. (6 months, yeah right.)
I'm returning this to Amazon to start over. This time I'm going to try other methods that use the updater app, or log into the PC program HiSuite to see if it pushes the update properly.
You chose the complicated way to upgrade. My input ( above ) for how to upgrade is a lot easier and is less riskier as Huawei's upgrade software is involved. Your call, but if you hit a brick wall on other ways to upgrade, consider my suggestion.

I like it too with Android 7.0 , despite all the bloatware apps (I'm coming from a Nexus 7).

For me they installed without firmware finder. Right after first boot, I went to System Settings, and the Update section showed the OTA update. It installed 2. Only thing disappointing is that they haven't released an update to fix KRACK yet.

I stupidly tried an SD card method first, and ended up with an upgraded tablet with no Bluetooth and keyboard issues. Finally got back to original state and followed @callanish method. Worked beautifully and easily. Anyone else looking to update, I'd suggest this easy method that works. Thanks @callanish! (seriously registered here just to say thanks)

I wasn't so lucky: I had to install it with Firmware Finder (only the one of ~500MB).
Can you please tell me which security patch level do you have ?
I have those of May 2017.
That's what I have, May if 2017. I also used firmware finder and to my knowledge, that's the newest available for this tablet.

I did this too, because the instructions in FF app were crap for the other methods. I found the SD card method and ran with it. It didn't put the USA data files on that included the keyboard and bluetooth, and updater app.
I had to return mine to Amazon and try again using the DNS / Updater app method on FF. This time it worked great! This tablet is sooo much better with updated launcher and Android 7.
How on earth did you get it back to original state without sending it back?

I think there is a security patch level more recent than May '17.
I got my US version with the B005 FW vers. It had a SP level of something like Aug '17 (I don't remember exactly, but it after May of this year.)
It showed no updates in the updater app, but I upgraded it using FF app, and now it says May '17 for the SP level.
I don't think Huawei ever intended US versions to get the Android 7 update because it doesn't comply with current SP levels.
Hi all, I have a question, when I open Firmware Finder I have a list of 4 FullOTA (see attached screenshot), all with the same release date, how can I choose the right one?
@fidrat I worded that poorly. I used the same technique you did, started with a new one.
Hey! This is my first time here, sorry if I'm doing smth wrong, I just really need help. My fossil gen 6 is kinda useless at this point after updating to Wear OS 3 and I would like to flash it back to Wear OS 2, since I don't get any notifications & I can't even sync my notes at this point without connecting to wifi (not even through mobile data, which is pretty annoying -> my phone & watch doesn't connect to each other through bluetooth)
thanks, for any guides in advance!

You will have to perform a factory reset and repair the watch and phone again. Only option at the moment.

Did that 3 times already, nothing changed. Thanks for your answer though!
Did you get anywhere with this? I also want to go back to wear os 2. I hate the fossil app
I'd like to know too. I just came back to Android with the S23 Ultra and wanted to pair my Razer x Fossil watch to it. But I decided to update since I was doing a factory reset/disconnect anyways. Big big BIG mistake.
There has to be a way to flash wear OS 2.3 back to the watch and re partition it as stock. I'm able to see my watch as a USB perhp on my machine without BT or wifi connection.
Anyone have the old firmware for these watches? Short of buying another Razer watch for $600
I do have all the required files to go back to wearOS 2, but wont suggest it might brick your device. Have a partition backup first.
For OTA add the hash in the placeholder.

Hey ! Thanks for the file. I'll take the risk to brick my watch.
Do you know how I can flash the archive ?

I'm also looking to be able to flash my watch between WearOS 2 and 3. Have you figured anything out by chance? All the things I normally do aren't working, with and without TWRP.

I do have all the required files to go back to wearOS 2, but wont suggest it might brick your device. Have a partition backup first.

Or would you be able to provide some guidance on how to proceed?

From what I found, the original cable with 4 spins (2 on each side) should be used to connect your watch to a PC and use the USB debugging.
So I bought one but nothing happened. I'm just able to use Bluetooth or WiFi debugging and these can't be used to unlock the bootloader as WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled on bootloader mode. So fastboot can't detect the watch.
So I'm stuck and that sucks, my duck.
Another way is to remove the watch's back and tweak the USB connectors but I'll not do that...

I see. I have been able to make it farther, but I also was running into problems getting the USB connection to work. Most of what I did was under Linux instead of Windows but I found that after enabling USB debugging I often had to remove the watch from the cradle, put it back on, then run 'adb devices' from the connected computer to get the daemon going. That usually got the adb popup on the watch to show, then I can select the 'always allow' option.
All that said, at the moment I'm not currently able to boot my watch unless I have the bootloader unlocked. I have restored the stock recovery after using TWRP and unsuccessfully flashing anything via that adb shell or from the bootloader with fastboot. Even worse, some things are not working properly, such as automatic brightness and some of the wireless capabilities. I might need to see if I can work something out with Fossil if I'm unable to resolve these issues.
You guys seems way ahead on me in the downgrade process...
I made Wear OS 3 update but the Fossil app used to pair the watch won't work with Oneplus 8 Pro (Android 13), gotta go back but i have no idea how...
Yet i flashed a lot of custom roms and stuff in the past, but now.. kinda lost
Im looking forward to see news here
Good luck guys, i'll keep updated if i somehow manage to flash the OTA posted ahead
Edit : well i was on Apkmirror to try an older apk of the app, and found out their app targets android 12 but not android 13..........

I do have the TWRP but need to find it, took some tweaks from Ticwatch 3 pro. I didnt pushed it on the repo tho. I didnt what made me do it, but I wiped my system partitions and had to rebuilt from the OTA only. But after getting the watch working again, I had few functionalities broke, including the OTA updates. If you can social enginner your way thru fossil to get files such as stock rom and other files for qualcomm software like rawprogrammer and firehose files it can be great help.
