[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceGooner:
I'm on the stock JF1, locked to o2 UK. I've checked on Kies 3 or 4 times in the past and it has always said my firmware was up to date. Now the message has changed and it's saying my firmware can't be updated. Is this because the new JM1 release on Kies is a non-network specific update? If o2 UK release their own version of the JM1 update does anyone know if that would become available via Kies, or does Kies only churn out non-network specific firmwares?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VikingDK:
Try opening Kies before you connect the phone, go into Firmware Upgrade and press CTRL + ALT + U + P to enable Test Mode. Then try and connect your phone and see if an update is available to you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceGooner:
Thanks VikingDK, I may try that later when I get home from work. But won't that only allow me to update to a non network specific JM1? If so, how would I re-obtain all my o2 UK network settings? Sorry if this is obvious to some, but i'm pretty new to Android phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VikingDK:
It'll tell you which firmware you'll be getting, before you accept the upgrade.

Should you get an unbranded firmware, I'd say that's a good thing :P

I'm sure you'll be able to dig up your o2 network settings on their website or elsewhere,

if they're not embedded in your SIM as my Vodafone.ie APNs were.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceGooner:
That sounds straightforward enough. I'll check it out later. Many thanks for the advice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlanFlinger:
Thanks a million !

Downloading now, just need to keep the child out of the way when it flashes :D

Edit :- Well that was fairly painless, flashed over the top of a lag fix (can't remember which one), had to re root afterwards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monkeytennis:
Hi, finally got kies to see my phone needs updating, but getting a CryptoError....any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MoWa22:
I downgraded to JF3 from samsung-firmwares. Now, for the first time, I get a notice that the firmware is up to date - but only in test mode, in non-test mode I get the usual stuff that it can't upgrade this device's firmware version. No JM1 though. :'( I might add that I live in Denmark, and that the seemingly danish chap VikingDK could do an upgrade made me believe it would be available for me too - but now I see he doesn't live in Denmark. :) I've tried re-installing Kies and told it I live in the UK, still no JM1. I wonder if Kies checks where I live through my IP... Well, guess I'll have to go back to JM5 through Odin and be patient.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bub181:
Thanks for the information! JM6 sounds promising.

I'm currently running JM5 which I got from the samsung-firmwares website. It would be excellent if I could upgrade to an official JM6. Are you sure it's JM6 that you have? The others are only getting JM1 of JM2.

Were you running a stock rom before or had you flashed with ODIN?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bub181:
What version of Kies did you use? I followed all your steps and I'm on Kies version 1.5.1.10071_32 and it won't let me upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BrixtonBiker:
I'm on JF3, on a Vodafone supplied handset. I know others with a Vf device are getting an upgrade offered, but I'm not...

Tried putting Kies into test mode, but still nothing.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ewok666:
Can anyone confirm it is definitely JM6? I don't want flash it it's not getting me something better than JM5.

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
I'm on a Vodaphone (unlocked) phone, I had to uninstall KIES compeltely and re-install it (plus a few reboots before it recognised my phone) to upgrade from JF3 to JM1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] VikingDK:
Yeah sorry, I'm Danish alright, but living (and bought my i9000) in Ireland :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rui.mamede:
Before that i had a stock rom, im from Portugal and i phone is simlocked to tmn
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
I have also been wondering about this. Is Kies checking IP, or something else?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] smcshaw:
Used Kies to upgrade to JM1 a fortnight ago and I'm now being told I can upgrade to JM3.

Thing is it downloads fine, installs fine then when the phone reboots and I get the orange upgrade lines it stops and restarts back to where it was JM1.

I've tried twice now and it's a pain to redownload the file each time. Anyone else having this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bobcart:
I am also not able to upgrade through Kies.

I have:

PDA: XXJF3

PHONE: XXJF3

CSC: XEEJF3

Could it be that all of them has to be from the same region to be able to upgrade?

So if my CSC also was XX...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DiP7:
JM5 ro.build.date=2010. 07. 30.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
I flashed last week to JM1 via keis and it says its the latest version.

Finaly got the test mode to work on the latest version of keis and it says jm3 is available.

So what is the official version available?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
What exactly does test mode do???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hurrakan:
I have an unlocked Galaxy S (I9000) that I bought instore from Carphone Warehouse (in the UK). I originally had an O2 sim but I have changed to a Three sim and am now waiting for my O2 number to be transferred.

My phone is:

PDA: I9000XXJF3

PHONE: I9000XXJF3

CSC: I9000OXAJF3

With "Test Mode Off", Kies tells me "This device's version cannot be updated".

With "Test Mode On", Kies tells me "The latest version is already installed on connected device".

I was using Kies 1.5.1.10071_32 but now using Kies 1.5.1.10074_2_6

I guess I just have to wait.

BTW - can anyone here get their Galaxy S to read the tags in FLAC music files? FLAC files on my Galaxy S always show as "Unknown", and I've tried MANY tagging programs :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
I was in the same situation. I tried multiple versions of kies on 64 bit windows 7 and 32 bit vista. Kies with test mode on and off. I still got the same up to date or can not upgrade messages. Odin was my solution in the end. I flashed there newer version of jm1 from samsung-firmwares and it is now working great :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ukdtweak:
My phone waz\s bought from 02 as a Pay As You Go phone, only 02 branding I could see was browser bookmarks to 02 and the CSC...

PDA: I9000ADJF1

PHONE: I9000ADJF!

CSC: I9000O2UJF2

Kies would tell me there was No update for my phone, so tried in Test Mode and voila:

PDA: I9000ADJM1

PHONE: I9000ADJM1

CSC: I900002UJM1

Did notice that my CSC staill show 02 in it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Hello! Have this JM1 version the "Only use 2G network" check field?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tyxerakias:
Not as a checkbox, but it has a dropdown menu allowing you gsm only.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
I have Kies 1.5.1.10074_2 In common with others Kies wasn't showing an upgrade until I put it into test mode with Ctrl + Alt + p + u whereupon it shows an upgrade from JF1 to JM1 is available.

I haven't upgraded yet because I'm unclear if it is worth it and I don't fancy finding all my apps again. Is there a back up facility for apps out there?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Thank you very much :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] enigmameusa:
I've got a unlocked T-mobile, with no T-mobile software that I can see. Still got the stock rom and I still get this even when using test mode

Anyone else having this problem with T-mobile?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ardll:
there appears to be a theme with phones purchased from the carphone warehouse - can anyone on here with a phone purchased from the carphone warehouse running JF3 confirm they are unable to update?

see thread on samsung galaxy s forums "Updating From JF3" - can't post links :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bandis710:
:confused: I can't upgrade either ( I am from the netherlands).. What i do not understand is, that I have an unbranded phone and that not all three items are the same ..I have

PDA:I9000XXJF3

Phone: I9000XXJF3

CSC: I9000XENJF1

Can anybody explain why my CSC is different, even although my phone is unbranded?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ardll:
good question, it's beyond me how a company like samsung can make such a monumental balls up when it comes to software :mad: and there are some fundamental flaws in their approach to providing updates to the device.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bluurg99:
I'm with T-mobile on stock rom and have the EXACT same problem, message and firmware versions!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danmullen:
I can't upgrade yet either... I'm on JF3 locked to Orange.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Do all of you who cannot upgrade have the same CSC version? If so, then that may be the cause of the problem. Others with the same PHONE and PDA but different CSC versions have no problems upgrading.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
After forcing the upgrade notification by going into test mode yesterday, and deciding not to upgrade until I had backed up my apps (which I did with ES File Explorer), I received the official notification of the upgrade this morning.

I noticed that Kies now shows my mobile number under GTI9000 on Kies home screen. Wonder why and if this has anything to do with the upgrade being offered?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
I have JF2 on CSC and JF1 on phone and pda so don't think that has anything to do with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ardll:
My csc version is also JF3...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Norpa76:
Kies remembers the test mode setting when you close the program so that's why it's offering the update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
I just found this out. I've noticed the memory management is better, with battery life improved by the app manager. GPS lock iz quicker but I have yet try it on the move.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
Just to add something new

I updated via Keis ok without test mode to JM1 now I'm getting This device cannot be updated, all I did was format SD card and Factory Reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ardll:
Lam were you running on JM3 prior to this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lamatrast:
No I was running JF3, I got the MTP crashing bug so I just reset everything and now I get the "This device message cannot be updated" even though until the factory reset it was saying Running Latest Firmware. Just wondering if its the server keis is connecting to check for updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hurrakan:
I have a Galaxy S from carphone Warehouse and I cannot update (JF3).

PDA: I9000XXJF3

PHONE: I9000XXJF3

CSC: I9000OXAJF3

I can't find the thread you mention. You can post a link if you change the . to [dot]. Or please send me the link in a Private Message.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darrenives:
Same here. Unlocked SIM free from Carphone Warehouse:

PDA: I9000XXJF3

Phone: I9000XXJF3

CSC: I9000OXAJF3

Unable to upgrade, but in test mode says up to date!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hurrakan:
Hmm.

I am strongly considering returning my phone to the Carphone Warehouse!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zangieff:
Mate, can you do me a favour? What is your product code?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/some number

Scroll it down and you should find a ProductCode key value.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zangieff:
Guys, Kies DOES check your location and operator locks of your phone INDEED by its ProductCode! But we can trick it!

There are the codes for the phones sold in the UK:

United Kingdom.

BTC = UNITED KINGDOM

O2I = UNITED KINGDOM

O2U = UNITED KINGDOM

ORA = UNITED KINGDOM

TMU = UNITED KINGDOM

TSC = UNITED KINGDOM

VOD = UNITED KINGDOM

XEU = UNITED KINGDOM

VIR = UNITED KINGDOM

H3G = UNITED KINGDOM

CPW = UNITED KINGDOM

Mine is GT-I9000HKDH3G - I bought it from 3. I've installed lots of firmwares using ODIN but I couldn't upgrade via Kies. BUT, if you change your ProductCode you CAN actually upgrade. It worked for me with DBT code (Germany) and I got JM1. I think if we try other codes we can find the latest firmware.

HOWTO:

Just in case use test mode.

Open Kies

Connect your phone

Run regedit (Start-Run-regedit)

find HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/some number

find ProductCode

change last three letters to another country product code

run firmware update in Kies

It works only in the current session. If you want to try it later you will have to change the product code again.

Please post your results.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] terje.tel:
Kies did prompt to update a XEE phone here in Norway yesterday. This was a stock phone with XWJFB/XXJF5/XEEJG1. I've been trying to get Kies to trigger the update on my ODIN-flashed SGS, but so far no go. When I get my hands on that other phone again I'll attempt to see if that can help figure out a way to trick Kies.

Which of the british codes shoul we in norway use that are close to tur needs?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zangieff:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] terje.tel:
I just played around with the Kies registry and managed to get Kies to offer an update for my XEE phone currently running JM5. Phone is charging now since Kies don't want to flash without enough juice and I'll attempt the upgrade and post any results later today I hope. My phone is XEE CSC bought unlocked in Norway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MoWa22:
And what did it offer you to upgrade to?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] terje.tel:
JM1 or JM2 I think, I don't really remember, maybe it was a combination. If only my phone would charge a little bit faster now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] poolcin:
All,

I just posted it on the general forum. But will give you a shout over here as well. I just got a prompt from Kies. There is an official upgrade!

HTC releases Android 2.2 source code for EVO 4G, Incredible, Aria, and Wildfire — geeks rejoice

August 11, 2010 | by Chris Smith

Android OS, HTC, News

Modders and ROM developers are about to bury themselves in source code today and will chug six packs of Red Bull to stay up late into the night hacking away. HTC has released their valuable Android 2.2 source code for the EVO 4G, DROID Incredible, Aria, and Wildfire today allowing programmers and enthusiasts to get their hands dirty with code.

This is a pretty standard thing, as the Android operating system is open source and anything developed in conjunction with it has to be made available to the public. What’s funny about this release of code is that HTC has basically preempted all carriers except for Sprint as the Aria, Incredible, and Wildfire have yet to see the “official” release of Android 2.2. This confirms that it is the carriers that have slowed down the upgrade process on their devices making options like rooting and modding so popular. Even with the slow down, this release shows that the carriers are getting ready for the “official” releases.

The release of the Android 2.2 source for HTC devices is going to prove to be an awesome edition to what modders have already gained from earlier ROM leaks. So, keep your eyes out for some new ROMs over at xda-developers and other modding sites as it is about to get crazy out there!
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
That is VERY good news.
[Droid Incredible General] htc_woe_is_me:
This is incredible (no pun intended)! Now if we only had the official 2.2...

So now we are waiting on Verizon they say? I guess they want to sell as many Droid 2's as possible before they upgrade the other phones. It's all about the buck for them as we all know. How could they possibly make money off of a free upgrade? They're laying awake at night thinking of this shi*
[Droid Incredible General] Crackmaggot:
This is good news indeed. Shame on Verizon for holding out for so long! :mad:
[Droid Incredible General] m52power:
They're busy adding their verizon bloatware to it which we will spend hours removing and tweaking to perfection.
[Droid Incredible General] nstavr:
This is for the kernel and bluez only? Or am I missing something here?
[Droid Incredible General] SLOflatlander:
what is bluez? im guessing something about bluetooth.. wii remove or something?

[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
Drives me nuts it's that way for anything and everything now days. Face it tomorrow will always bring a bigger, faster, cleaner "rig". Then again everyday I think at this rate what will I have to chose from in 2 years, and give an evil chuckle. :D
[Nexus One General] tengtou:
Does anyone know how? Ive tried searching but nothing.

I have tried these that worked on 2.1 but couldnt get them to work on 2.2

adb pull /system/app app

adb pull /system/app-private app-private

The first command works but it doesnt pull all the apps, like the ones I download from market. Then the second command line doesnt work. Also, does anyone know how to pull apps from the sd card?
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
Wrong partition, they are on /data/
[Nexus One General] ilostchild:
like post said above.. you have to look for the ones you got in market

so do it this way

adb shell

su

cd /data/app

ls

Look for the app you want if the app you want is not there then do this

cd /data/app-private

look for it again once find it you do this

exit

$ will see this then

exit

then do

adb pull /data/app/com.Andchat.apk "drag a folder into the terminal/cmd promt window, then press enter"

once you do that go to the folder that your drag into termina/cmd pompt and your apk should be in there
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PolishDude:
I put handcent onto my phone and only about 4 out of 25 contact pics actually show up, I have ones that are pulled directly from fb, others are in the phone, neither show up, the 4 that do show up are from fb but others from fb dont show up, anyone else have this problem? I like the fact that on a mms you can actually zoom in and out of the picture unlike the default messenger but want contact pictures, any ideas?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
i had this problem too. what it was for me was a actual contacts issue. i had plenty of contacts from my SIM card that were being pulled when i wrote a new text message and the SIM contact was the one being used, and we all know SIM contacts don't hold pictures.

The same thing happened when people messaged me. The SIM contact would be utilized and the text would come with the name but no contact picture.

Solution you ask? DO what i'm doing, which seems to be working: Import all you sim contacts to the phone, delete all your sim contacts, then proceed to nicely cleanup all your contacts (whichever way you like, i prefer manually but there's apps i think for this), and make sure your contacts are all google based.

I'm doing it this way, and i percieve to never have to use the sim card again for contacts, until the day i stop using a google-enabled phone, then i'll just copy the contacts to the phone before i switch. :D

To the point: now all my handcent sms lists showc ontact pictures. :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] paradox4286:
how did you bring all the Google contacts to be saved to the phone vs being synced....I'm searching through the phone but not finding it.

sorry, n00b question
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
if by "saved to the phone" you mean that i could see the same contacts on my phone, with a little "g" icon, that i could in my gmail account viewed through a desktop web browser, then i think you need to set your phone to view ALL the contacts it possibly can.

contacts-->menu-->display options--> check everything under "choose contacts to display"

now clean all that mess up. I'm just about done cleaing up all mine to just google contacts (all my contacts, when everything is checked, have the little "g" icon to denote being synced with my gmail account i believe)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] joe_33man:
I had the same issue where my contact profile pics wouldn't show on handcent as I received/sent out txt messages due to the contacts saved on my SIM. I just took out my SIM put it in my old phone and did a mass deletion of my contacts that were on there. Put the SIM back in my Vibrant, now all the profile pics show when receiving or sending out a txt.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
damn! good thinking! i called my local tmobile store and asked if they could wipe my sim, but htey said no, and it'll cost $20for a new sim. bah! i just did it myself lmao.
[Android Software Development] HackYourPhone:
I have spent a little bit of time checking out the site and I have used the info to succesfully put Android on my HTC Touch, that is inactive but fun to play with. I currently use a US Cellular Samsung Calliber. I am still learning about these software/firmware hacks and I was wondering... would it ever be possible to put some version of the Android software on my Calliber?

Thank you!

forget it. you can only run android on top on windows mobile. there is no way you can just go "can i run it on my device?" and expect the answer to be anything but a no. reasons? simple, lack of framework to start with

I dont want to be putting misinformation out here. Read more info and found out what I was asking a question was outdated and not good so please delete.
[G1 Android Development] Abolfazl:
Does it work with Opera Mini?
[G1 Android Development] Fnorder:
If you run it as:

holdapp com.opera.mini.android
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
This is really amazing. good work.

I've noticed that messaging is really sticky in the memory too..., but all of a sudden after cm6 rc2. rc1, it didn't stick. Also, is this method how cyanogen added "keep home in memory"? i'd assume so.
[G1 Android Development] mblaster:
Sounds useful, gonna give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

€: Small feedback for holdapp with opera mini:

I found that if I go from opera to the homescreen and then back to opera, it pops up immediately at tha last visited page.

If I do something else in between, like locking or using another app, opera will start up fresh, but jump to the last visited page without reloading it.

That is something it never did before, seems like it tries to save its state when exiting, but without holdapp, it gets killed too early to fully save.

€€: OK, just checked with "ps|grep opera": Opera still gets killed as soon as I launch another app and as soon as I unlock from sleep mode. I guess it just takes up so much mem that it gets murdered no matter what, as soon as some memory is needed.
[HD2 General] Vampire2800:
I used to have an iPhone. the videos that I took with it I transferred to my laptop then to my microSD card. i put the card in my HD2 & only about 1/2 the videos play. i've used wmp & tcpmp (which locks up). do they need to be converted to a different format or what? thanks in advance..... jeff
[HD2 General] Marct77:
I'd convert em all to MP4 so they will play in Sense player.
[HD2 General] Vampire2800:
fantastic idea. Is there an app that can do that from the phone?
