[Galaxy S I9000 General] edgardurao:
nop still the same.... god damn it! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gig11gs:

thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sutton1001:
mmm

So why is it working for all you lot and not me all I get is

I get PDA:JF3 / PHONE:JF3/ CSC:SWC

this current version cannot be updated!

WTF not :'(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vertumus:
What languages and swype-s are supported, can some1 write it down?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] B[L]A[D]E:
Just made update and factory reset, all seems to go well. Thanks for all
[Galaxy S I9000 General] InkZ:
eventually got it updated through Kies, got appbrain installed and now pressing install 50 times.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] edgardurao:
if someone with this problem here it is the solution:

- factory reset

- wipe cache

proceed with upgrade
[Galaxy S I9000 General] inurb:
Thanks to the OP for the detailed instructions on how to change the registry in order to trick kies to serve JPM to you.

I successfully installed Froyo on my unlocked unbranded i9000. I just have to say this...

Kies is such Piece of **** software. I am amazed that samsun ok'd this pc suite software to be released out to consumers. I don't see how a layman would be able to upgrade firmware with kies it would be too difficult imo. Thanks to all of you for all the helpful advice. Again Kies is crap.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sutton1001:
factory reset

I did a factory reset but still not working for me!

How do you clear cache?! could it be that I haven't cleared cache ?

Is this not working as maybe mine is branded?

I bought a payas you go o2 which I use on a contract sim as my iphone died!

Help would be appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sutton1001:
still not working

OK so I just done a factory reset and tried to no avail :(

I dont know how to clear cache could this be my problem?

I am on a o2 payas you go but with a contract sim in it!

Any ideas would be appreciated!!1

cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marv101:
Will this have any repercussions for people in the UK? For example, data usage, etc? Or when later wanting to update to an official UK firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] james__:
sorry, what lagfixes?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerhorsman:
not working for me??

hey guys,

just new to the forum,

i have an i9000 galaxy s on bell mobility here in canada. I'm running latest official firmware (JH2) and have followed the directions for changing the info to trick kies, but when I do I only get the message "This device's version cannot be updated".

any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] desreg2913:
thanks for the guide, heard that JPM is Europe version, how bout Asia version? is it the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] desreg2913:
hi u r saying that that's some folder with number, yes i have 4 folders (1,2,3,4)

and using JPM, so which one should i go for to modify?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Juto:
Take folder No. 1.

Thank you for the hack. works fine for me (Germany).

froyo installed ;o)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ksh20480:
Is this the Indian firmware.....I guess this the common firmware used all around. wht if Indian firmware is available in few days from now?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Indicative:
Before my update to froyo I could choose my usb settings in about phone but now I cannot find it anywhere. Anyone know where it has been moved to?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aridoasis:
:( mine got stuck on a boot cycle
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Snuble:
Its moved to "wireless/network".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] traiviet:
hey lnkz, how did you get it to work? mine was having a connection problem too; eventhough, my networking is up and running fast. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iitadakimas:
Thx for the tip, i upgraded mine & its working nice.. just 1 thing, all my apps seems to arrange in alphabet, now i have to re-arrange my apps. Is it suppose to be like that?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcaz:
I have an I1900M with Bell but will be leaving for Spain in a couple days and using a Spanish SIM card in the phone. If the official Kies upgrade hasn't arrived by the time I leave, am I ok to try and update in Spain? Will Kies try and install a version with European radio files, or will it still recognize it as an M variant?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
if you use the European firmware it will over-right the North American Radio files so you will lose the 850mhz band. unless you flash your jh2 radios and csc back to the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vulpinity:
Registry hack worked perfectly for me, was running JPH on UK T-Mobile. Now for a couple of days seeing what's broken in the new firmware, heehee. Cheers! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sdfzhsd:
hey, now kies says "the firmware cannot be upgraded". Did i do something wrong? Can you please help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcaz:
Yes, and I would like to avoid that. I am just wondering what Kies will want to do. The laptop and phone will be Canadian, but the ip location will be Spain. Will Kies still attempt to install the Bell Froyo? If not I will install via Odin once the Bell version has been released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KeesKaas:
Do i need the OCLF by Ryanza for the JPM releases?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
if you do not install the European ROM and wait.. kies will install the Canadian firmware once it comes out no mater where you are in the world since it will see you have a Canadian phone. if I were you and not sure how to change the radio files I would just wait for the Canadian release it will likely be this week coming up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Macita:
better do this

Before the upgrade, uninstal every lagfix if installed, Not nedd to unroot ( the new froyo will anyway destroy your root), make a backup, factory reset, and wipe.

This is the only safe update.

I personally had a jm1 with installed few apps and the lagfix oclf, with it i had 2200 on bench with quadrant, now with the same lagfix oclf i have onky 1800.

All is fine, iv updated yesterday afternoon when the xee server was still not busy due to not official xda guide. ..Hehe

ciao all

[Galaxy S I9000 General] biffaxda:
Germany upgrade

I left the DBT german but changed to JF3 as above - Kies (oct15) prompted for upgrade only to JM1 for PDA and Phone. Assuming this is still only 2.1 for now.

Either way irrelevant as no matter what settings i use to upgrade, once it starts the 'download' it pops up a message with 'device to upgrade does not have sufficient battery power... etc' and will not proceed. considering the phone is fully charged (please remove from power message) AND it's connected to the PC via USB i don't see how it can't have enough power. Not sure if anyone else is seeing this...

EDIT: i tried with an older version of Kies (1.5.1.10074_2) and on Win7 (was on vista before) and it worked just fine. I was on JPK (from samfirmware.com) and it updated it to the latest JP6 etc. Don't seem to have lost any data or settings either so the registry hack worked. Thanks very much.

EDIT2: and oddly things now seem really fast. not sure what changed between JPK and JPM/6 but the reaction times on the phone are much faster than they were (and that's without even wiping/resetting the phone before upgrading, which i would normally have done). Weird, but very cool :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Android Galaxy:
Hi guys,

this is what i got from Kies

model Name: GT-I9000

Current Version: PDA:JG1 / PHONE:JF3 / CSC:JG1

Failed to compare with the latest model information

any ideas?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
I did the upgrade on a Three UK Samsung Galaxy S and it went fine. But now I have found out that there is no Android Market App !!!???

Can anyone help me please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xarxiusxiii:
Do a factory reset, or install the vending.apk posted elsewhere on this forum :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lindemale:
Thanks

Hi everybody

the tread works like a charm. Got it in first try.

Thanks alot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
Actually, I bit the bullet today, and flashed JP6 via Kies over stock UGJH2 on my I9000M. I was prepared to do the modem and CSC flash but...

WCDMA 850 Band 5 is working fine without any additional tweaking, and since I'm on Telus there is no 2g to fool me. Verified by Band Selection (*#2263#, WCDMA Band, 850 was already starred, 900 was not) and GSM Status (*#0011#, showing me locked and steady on an 850 tower, getting data and voice). 1900 Band 2 is also working. It's pretty easy for me to test, I live in a high-rise, all I need to do is go to the elevator area and it switches from 1900 to 850, just like it did before the update.

I didn't have to do ANYTHING other than the registry edit to spoof Kies. Market worked right after the update, (almost) all of my apps were still installed and functional, once again I didn't have to do anything.

Only thing I had to do after the update was re-log into Facebook and Twitter, and (sadly) set up a PIN due to my corporate Exchange policy (didn't need one with 2.1).

My Gmail, Exchange, WiFi, and APN settings were preserved just fine too.

As for apps not working, it's a small list...my beloved jonasl HTC IME, and a transparent Genie (News and Weather) widget both FC when trying to start.

Basically, a pretty painless upgrade. Even the Odin flash needed to root and OCLF went smooth as butter.

All that said, if you own an I9000M, there is no guarantee that you will have the same excellent results I had.

I'm guessing that the JPM modem is GSM/WCDMA "universal", it'll work with any Galaxy S radio variant (but of course won't give you bands your radio doesn't actually have).

I'm also willing to bet doing it via Kies is the key to it just working, since the Kies upgrade process sees your old 850 selection and retains it in the upgrade. Odin flashing can't do this since it nukes everything...it's a replacement, not an upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Indicative:
Thanks! Never would have known they moved it there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mordin444:
Hey guys. Sorry for my lack of understanding- but if I do this will I recieve a firmware version for another mobile operator? I don't really want some overseas operators bloatware.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
This version is "stripped", it has no carrier specific stuff in it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amer24:
Just installed flawlessly :) Many thanks for the instructions
[Galaxy S I9000 General] prcach:
need some help dudes...

pda jg5

phone jg1

did all from from the instructions, i was offered update, it was downloaded, and when it had to upgrade phone i got "failed to convert to upgrade mode" and than i can only exit the update...luckily phone is fine, but whats the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
It did not work for me. I changed the registry and Kies (1.5.3) offers me the JP6/JPM upgrade, then it launches a program and after a few seconds stops with "Firmware upgrade cannot proceed. Firmware upgrade will close".

Phone has JPK now, I have removed external SD and SIM, wiped everything else...

EDIT: Found solution on another thread: Run Kies as Administrator

EDIT2: Now it hangs while trying to download binary files. Kies is a POS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pckoloji:
Hi guys.

I was using Plus branded version of Galaxy S in Poland. I did like said in 1st message and no problem. Perfectly working and no data lost.

Another advantage all crap from operator is gone :)

I don't know perhaps warranty is not valid anymore?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Absconditus:
I updated 1.00am BST UK on a O2-UK SGS, Used the reg hack. I uninstalled root and lag fix and ext2 tools. Everything worked perfectly. No problems at all.

Many thanks.;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zeu569:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Terranigmus:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] duke0102:
I thought sod it, ill give it a go and extremely pleased. Thank you for the tutorial.

The one thing that I love about the FROYO update is the fact that it seems to put the apps in alphabetical order lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dbtomas:
Fantastic works perfectly, thanks.

I had Frioyo JPM, and before I made my backups then I followed the instructions, and everything OK. Strenge but after rebotar all my data remained, including the programs that I installed.

You did a good job, tanks :D :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PiTXI:
I've done it and it works!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maestross:
Froyo 2.2

Kies(v.1.5.3.10093_82) does report a JPM/JP6 upgrade on my GT-i9000 phone.

Update button is not active. What do you think about that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaqbmap:
I did the same thing but now am having second thoughts. This release of Froyo does not support Polish in Samsung Keyboard and Swype. What's funny is that the whole system as such does have support for Polish (the menus are in Polish etc.) o_O
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 3rings:
Thanks!

I did as per instructions in post #1 and now it's running smoothly.

All apps were retained. Will do the OCLF now. :-)

Cheers!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I believe it will work but if the flash fails for some reason and you can't access 3 button recovery mode then you have a problem. I wouldn't try it unless you are familiar with adb shell or don't mind taking a trip to the service center if it fails.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobilescooby:
Thanks Dakine for the heads up

Another slightly noobish question..... I've tried the 3 button combo and i can enter some modes but am not quite sure if these are the same as everbody else

Vol - & Home & Power ( yellow droid, in a so called DOWNLOAD MODE)

Vol + & Home & Power ( forced button mode or some crap like that)

Am i being a complete DIV and is this the "holy grail 3BR?"

I did warn you that this was a noobish question lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
HeHe Yes that is the holy grail 3br. Did the vol+ combo give you the option to do a factory reset and clear cache? If so you are good to go and can try the upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mobilescooby:
*scratches head*

Ok so ummmm Vol + home and power is giving "forced upload by Key pressing"

I see no option for clearing cache or factory resetting the blinking thing!

i'm guessing that this isnt what everybody else gets!!

Nevermind got into recovery mode now! yey
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chessplayer60:
Thanks a lot for this easy explanation. Worked like a charm! All apps have apparently been retained (coming from JM1, phone not branded)!

KIES (just newly installed) and Win7 64bit did not give any problems. Will now try GPS and all (although weather is bad ...).

Cheers,

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mad0max:
Ok guys this is for every one with blocked phone on some carrier or the other.

I had the same problem with the phone cannot be upgraded and i un installed kies and re installed it again from the samsung site.

Plugged the phone and took the back up option off and used the regedit and then went for the upgrade and this worked like a charm.

I have market and everything all the apps contacts etc is perfect i did not loose anything...

and the best part is i got rid of all the movistar **** that came with the phone and now the phone is free and unlocked tried a vodafone card and worked perfectly in the movistar blocked samsung so ...

i guess when you sinc your phones with the existing kys it somehow remembers that your phone is blocked so the best is un install keys and re install and then straight to the regedit and all will work smooth....

PS atleast it did for me as i was getting repeated messages of cannot be upgraded. if some one looses their data i am not responsible as i did not loose any. so guys try this on your own risk..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JFBlouin:
IMPORTANT: Dont flash 2.2 in Canada. I'm on BELL network and I lost my data connexion
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vrhunski:
omfg first boot is soooooo loooonngggg
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
No way, I get the message saying that there's an update available, but when it has to start downloading, it crashes on "downloading binary file"...

I have reinstalled Kies, rebooted...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zenmedia:
I called T-Mobile UK prior to running the upgrade on my samsung galaxy s today, i firstly asked about the release date for the froyo release, which they played dumb and said they knew nothing about any upgrade. secondly i asked about if an update to a non network approved but manufacturer released update would void the warrenty and i was categorically told that it wouldnt void the warrenty as it come from samsung.

The guide from post 1 works a treat, ran it on two galaxy s handsets on t-mobile uk, booted with android market and all apps in tact. (no root or lagfix performed prior to update)

So happy updating guys :-) .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vrhunski:
factory reset (if standard procedure not working or disabled).

Shut your i9000.

Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.

When Samsung Symbol shows up release the power.

Then there is a boot Menu. Use the volume up/down to choose and home to select.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tjpthomas:
Don't you not just have to recreate the data connection under WiFi - Mobile network - APN - you proberly just need to manually add info on APN and the likes?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sjokkel:
I'm feeling stupid at the moment. Havent spend time with my phone lately. Last time i flashed JM2, rooted and applied a lagfix. Everything works fine but now i'd like to update to Froyo.

The problem is that i forgot which lagfix i applied :s. The only thing i know is that it didn't install an apk on my phone. I'm guessing it is CFLAGFIX 1.9. Any way to confirm this?

If i run cflagfix again it says i need at least 512 MB free in the /data directory. I have at least 3 GB free on the card so it makes me doubt i did use cflagfix :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] norab56:
Regards to all, delighted so many of you having success with this method:)

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me on O2 in Ireland, KIES just throws up:

PDA:JF3 / PHONE:JF3 / CSC:SWC

This device's version cannot be updated

Saw an earlier post from someone on O2 in the UK with similar issue - does anyone know if this is an issue specific to this carrier, or am I just unlucky?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maryhinge:
Been on hours in the UK, unlocked Tmobile. Get the update at reg hack, gets downloaded then phone goes to download mode, becomes an unknown device in device manager and goes no further, one last try.

Uninstalled Kies, factory reset phone, still at the same problem. Cant get Kies to work on the other PC's.

Looks like even when this is official I wont be able to do it.

Bugger
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dellmelo:
is it possible to root/lagfix this fw (JM6) already?

tried the CF-Root and nothing happened.

edit: nevermind. I used a proper .tar (jp6) instead of jpm)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
Your APN data just needs to be set.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zaishi:
Orange UK Contract phone.

Using the reg-hack, Kies will download and uncompress the update, but then my phone changes to 'Downloading, Please do not turn off target!!!' and I hear the sound of a USB cable being unplugged and plugged back in. The upgrade won't progress at all after this point.

Any hints?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sorter:
Just done mine and it's on T-Mobile (unbranded now) - way better with GPS now, but still miles out on some. As for the update - might be a driver issue - try reinstalling Kies.

Hi

I am on Virgin Uk, but my phone was purchased as an O2 phone. I have had to unlock the handset using the unlock method which gets the code off the handset. If I update with this 2.3 ( or even wait till the version is offered on Kies officially) do I have to worry about it locking my handset? Also Mine is one of the unfortunate handsets which doesn't have the 3 button recover method working... Is this a worry? Is there anything I should do first just incase. My handset is stock except network unlocked. I have not rooted or lagfixed

Thanks in advance

It depends on the telco. In both New Zealand and Australia there are telcos with frequencies like AT&T (Telstra in AU and Telecom XT in NZ) and telcos with frequencies like Vodafone UK (Vodafone AU and Vodafone NZ - at least)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dpeilow:
+1 here on Vodafone UK. Thanks a lot for this guide.

Once I got Kies installed and working (no mean feat as it kept aborting again and again) the hack worked with the latest release. I tried 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 before getting 1.5.3 to see that yes, I did have the latest .Net framework.

I can also report that Skype now works on the Galaxy S with 2.2 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] linuxluver:
I have exactly the same problem. My phone is 2nd-hand and was orginally from Virgin Mobile in Australia, but I'm in New Zealand. Looks like it already had some other ROM flashed on it as the firmware says it is JG5 on a JG1 phone with CSC OXX.

Kies won't upgrade this. Looks like I may have to resort to ODIN to put some known stock firmware on the phone. First time for everything.....unless someone else has a better idea.

[UPDATE: I changed the language in Kies from UK English to US English and re-started it. I then went through the steps in the OP again...and this time I was offered the upgrade. I'm downloading it now.

- download complete.

- decrypt complete

- decompress complete

- upgrade underway - phone is in yellow Android "Download" mode

- upgrade complete - phone re-booting

OK! Froyo running and Adobe Flash Player v10.1 installed from the Market.

Thanks to the OP and anyone else who helped put the information together.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] vadonald:
UK Vodafone SGS. I kept getting Kies saying it couldn't update despite using the registry mods that have been listed on XDA.

Then I had a brainwave, I usually run as a non Admin, so I logged in as an Admin and tried again, worked perfectly.

I see small improvements but no big improvement in any one thing except that I no longer have that damn Vodafone bloat-ware they snook onto our devices in their update.
