Well what really psses me off is that here in South America, we don't even have a stint of news weather the Froyo release for the I5800L will be released or not.

What really bothers me is I use 3G a lot, and the reason the I5800L is sold here rather than the I5800 is the fact that it's 3G antenna work on different frequencies. I tried JPF before, but my 3G connection was less than stellar... don't know if it was a configuring issue or the fact that the phone is meant for a different frequency than the ROM was intended.

Lots of people on the forum say their phone works with an European ROM, but then again, people don't really state if they have tested 3G, number grouping patterns (when using European ROM, even local numbers show up as +54xxxxxxxxxx) and other considerations.

I should have known better when I bought this phone, brazilian carriers are likely to never release an update, because frankly they don't care about the consumer and people can have a fit all they want, the next time you'll want a new phone, you'll have to use their services... and besides... if you bought the phone, they're already getting payed, and if you wait patiently for the update and never get it... you'll be disappointed, but there's nothing you can do (you can't sue the company). And if you update your ROM via ODIN to an european firmware and your phone locks up, they'll be quite happy to tell you you voided your warranty and they'll charge you half of what you payed for just to get your phone into working condition.

South America blows french horns!
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Its the same in india as well no info of a release at all...nor do they even know they sold this model:)
[Galaxy 3 General] SparkyRih:
Is there already a way to root these samfirwmares?
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Most of them are allready rooted. But if not, use z4root.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
to root eclair-z4root

to root froyo-superoneclick

to not ask noobish questions-this thread
[Galaxy 3 General] SparkyRih:
It's rooted now, thank you both :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Any news for the dutch kies update? I'm going mad.
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
Why don't you flash JPM if you are so in a hurry? :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I don't want the risk to brick my phone. I think I will only flash my phone when I can put gingerbread on it and samsung won't make any gingerbread for the g3
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
just dont flash the bootloader. or are you just making excuses because you dont want froyo :D
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Huh? Everyone wants froyo! You know! Just want the official kies version. (so with kies downloaded) finally want to see something from samsung.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Not everyone :P

I mean not everyone wants it from Kies. I'd rather flash with odin so that I can remove the bootloader and avoid bricking
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Can you please elaborate or point a link about this danger of bricking and bootloader being removed? (funny thing to me).

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Is kies flashing the bootloader too then?
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
There are two different kinds of bricking, soft bricking (not really an issue) and hard bricking (big problem). If you soft brick a phone you cant use it (atm) but you can enter download/recovery mode and reflash the firmware or flash another firmware. A hard brick is when you cant use the phone and you cant enter download/recovery mode and reflash. A hard brick occurs when something goes wrong while flashing the bootloader. Therefore if you want to avoid irreversible damage you dont flash the bootloader.

I'm not good at explaining but I hope you understood.

^I'm pretty sure Kies is flashing the bootloader, its possible it doesnt flash it for some FWs.
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Got it, much like currupting the grub in Lunux (but in that case you still can recover it).
[Galaxy 3 General] pator5:
Hard bricin' is when the mother board of the phone is DAD:D
[Galaxy 3 General] pator5:
Hard brickin' is when the mother board of the phone is DAD:D
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
If i cant fix it myself its hardbricked :D
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Any news yet for holland?
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Hey Humpie, why don't you, instead of doing a kind of spam here in the forums, don't plug your device in Kies every single day and just test if the update is available? :cool:
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I do, but I don't have a computer everywhere...
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:

This was sent by Samsung after I mailed :

Wanneer is de firmware update van de galaxy apollo naar 2.2 beschikbaar in Nederland en te installeren via Samsung Kies?

When is the firmware update for 2.2 galaxy apollo available in the Netherlands and ready to install with Samsung Kies?

:confused::eek:
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
That's just some standard mail... Mailing Samsung does not help you... I've sent them a total of 8 mails and I got all random standard mails!!
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I sent them 2 more but no reply yet...
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
But they (somehow) advise me to mail android... Is there some email address like support@android.com? To mail it to?
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
Just relax and stop spamming this thread. Google won't help you further... Just wait, it will come this month!! :)
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
It's my own thread...

I'll do but it's already available in other countries. That's just frustrating...
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Don't worry, it'll come soon enough.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
That makes no difference.

If you want it so badly you have odin :D
[Galaxy 3 General] Racoen:
I'll stick to what I've read at GSM Arena, and so should you.
[Galaxy 3 General] nesta_13:
Hong Kong got the Official update...

I5801ZHJP3
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
Google has nothing to do with the i5800 Froyo update.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I know but that's what Samsung mailed me...

(I don't beleave them either...)
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
So you are from Romania? Zasto ti onda stoji hrvatska zastava?
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
Maybe they got bored from the constant nagging. :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] Racoen:
No, I'm not from Romania, and neither is GSM Arena. Experience with them taught me to trust their news because they are 99% correct. I don't see a reason why certain people keep asking the same questions every day, I'm sure they will get an answer promptly.

Croatian flag stands because I am from Croatia.
[Galaxy 3 General] pator5:
So I see the T-Mobile logo are your phone sim-locked if it's locked official update you're waiting for accordin' to gsmarena it might not work for you samsung may release the update but T-Mobile may not think about that;)
[Galaxy 3 General] Racoen:
I doubt it, since it can't be updated over the air.
[Galaxy 3 General] remygo:
Is there finally a official froyo update for the i5800?
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Yeah but not in holland yet :( (...i think...)
[Galaxy 3 General] next2devil:
Not in India at least :(
[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
Nope not in India.... But it hardly matters now the new custom roms are all based on the official version and have improved upon it like crazy!
[Galaxy 3 General] next2devil:
Anant,

Which custom ROM you are using???

Your signature line saying GT-I5800. I flashed with the JPM thingy, however, now my device is being recognized as GT-I5510... or something like that. :eek:
[Galaxy 3 General] i_rnb:
latest i5800/ i5801 stocks rom r modified i5501 roms ... May b samsung guys r gettin lazy to make i5800/i5801 rom again.. :@
[Galaxy 3 General] next2devil:
I completely agree... especially for the Indian Samsung Devs.

They havn't done anything for Galaxies except for the Galaxy S.

Seems like discrimination is there even in the gadget world :p
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Still matter in some cases, because the roms do not contain some languages such as Brazilian Portuguese - as far as I know.
[Galaxy 3 General] to_sukanta:
Is the Froyo update available in UK market??
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Euh... No...

The update is no app or something. It is the whole system program. You can only put it on your phone with kies. (from the samsung website) or flash it with odin to another firmware. (you have to input the files yourself)
[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
Well in that case yeah they do have some use...... But I have a doubt then..... Can't the language packs be ported from the galaxy s roms..... If they are simply language font packages or something it can be done...... And better than asking someone else ..... I'm going to look into the matter myself see if I can help......
[Galaxy 3 General] vc926:
just updated to JPF. Everything looks great.

Sent from my GT-I5801
[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
Unfortunately true, samsung devs in India should have brought the official update by now when it has been officially launched in other countries...... Plus the indian version is an unlocked one so there isn't much to do except calibrating the gps, language, etc......

And yeah new roms are ported from i5501....... Actually today i'm going to sit down and try my hand at porting mad team's honeycomb version to our phone..... If successful I'll ask his permission and may release it too.......
[Galaxy 3 General] anant.0097:
I'm using kyrillos rom version 3.0
[Galaxy 3 General] to_sukanta:
I understand that. Whenever I connect my phone via Kies, it says this frimware can't be updated. Thats why just wondering if the update is already available in UK or not ??
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
In witch countries is the update officially available and installeble with kies? (list?)
[Galaxy 3 General] fallensoldier:
Anyone know when the update is available in North America. Just checked kies and its not there yet.
[Galaxy 3 General] grgsujan:
Jpf.feels fast at first but super laggy after then better switch to jpm or kyrillos 3.0
[Galaxy 3 General] Panos_dm:
Listen up guys (and girls), after communication with Samsung Greece they told me that there are some bugs they have to work on before they release Froyo. The sources are out but the bugs remain. Custom Roms are buggy sometimes and, according to my research, bugs differ from one phone to another and that stop me from using one. So what now??? I think Samsung "tricked" us into buying I5800 by "promising" us Froyo. I don't have something with Samsung. What I mean is that while Galaxy S and Nexus are SUPERB phones, there is no support whatsoever for our I5800. I have became very disappointed with Samsung. Not that Froyo is so much better than Eclair but i want what I also paid for: S U P P O R T...

sent from my nokia 3210
[Galaxy 3 General] fallensoldier:
If people can modify froyo roms to work on this phone, then im pretty sure samsung will iron out the bugs in no time.
[Galaxy 3 General] Panos_dm:
Well, you have a point but I think the real question is whether they want it... let's hope they do.

sent from my nokia 3210
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
+1 defenitely.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
I know you are not from Romania, but thats my point. GSMarena relayed info from Samsung Mobile Romania, so you cant expect it to be true for other countries as well, just look at the situation now, some countries already have updates and others dont. It might happen that other countries get it the same day as Romania but it doesnt necessarily have to happen like that.
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Samsung has 11 days left.
[Galaxy 3 General] RRenaRR:
Why don't you simply install it with ODIN?

F*** Sam.

Sent from my GT-I5800
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Because I want the official one.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Me too,

I couldn't check for a view days if there was a dutch update in kies. Tomorrow I can check but I don't think it'll be there.

Does anyone knows if I'll get the normal froyo or the t-mobile version (bojp6)? I've a t-mobile simcard and bought my phone in a t-mobile store a view months ago...
[Galaxy 3 General] TekkenLaw:
I flashed JPF few days back..while it is fine otherwise, I do miss the Indian language (Marathi, Hindi in my case) support in my original ROM..someone mentioned about isolating/adding language packs..any update about that?
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
I bought it in the T-Mobile store aswell. :D
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Now I had the chance to check kies, my phone wouldn't connect. It keeps connecting... Even without sd... Does anyone knows a (working) way to let it connect?
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Connect your phone with Kies closed (if it is set to auto-open when phone connected, disable this in Kies options). Wait until it changes do "plugged" in the phone.

Open Kies.

This works for me. If I open Kies before that, keeps connecting forever.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Type *#7284# in dialer and make sure both options are PDA. Then connect. Worked for me.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
That's only if the whole computer doesn't detect the phone, I said it keeps loading.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
I had the same thing going on, but for some reason, when I typed in that code and changed both to be PDA, it connected. Try it. Just for sh$£ and giggles. ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] pator5:
samfirmware just tweets I5800 BOJPC ONLINE!!! BO=Tmobile

EDIT: but i can't see it on their site :D
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
So, the update comes to (north) america. Hope it comes down to south really soon :)
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
I feel even that could be an european update...may be the dutch t-mobile
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Hum, yeah. I knew t-mobile is from germany, but as it is more known in america... looks like I jumped into conclusion too soon.
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Dont worry i feel all the regions would be updated by may or june
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Ahum... I think april.

(i hope...)
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Cool! I hope I can get my kies working tomorrow!
[Galaxy 3 General] HaWaN:
In Poland it'll be 4-6 month of this year....

Faster I'm gonna get Nexus S (or maybe even Nexus 3) with updates from Google...
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Didn't work. I'm trying it now with an older version of kies...

And I mailed samsung.
[Galaxy 3 General] only4omkar:
I guesss it will come by march end !!
[Galaxy 3 General] peacekeeper05:
Samsung really is a big joke. Even lg is a lot better in updating their firmwares... lol
[Galaxy 3 General] fallensoldier:
To be fair they did say to expect it by march end.
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
Lol, there's an update for Kies... But still no FroYo....
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
I already updated, but after that still no update to Froyo. I think Samsung is really secure with telling it'll be available at the end of March. So my guess is, it will be available the 31st of March.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
But what will be available then? JPM to the rest of the countries or something totally new for all around Europe/the rest of the world?
[Galaxy 3 General] wess786:
Dunno. I hope 2.2 for all countries.
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I got kies connected with my old computer but still no dutch update. I hope samsung will made it. Just what they said at the beginning: ' before the beginning of april.'
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Samfirmware just informed via twitter that europe will get the update soon!!!

Sent from my GT-I5801 Lestatious 1.4.5.1 on the way to Acid 2.0
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
That's what they all say, but how soon?
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Update to what? :confused:

It is just so confusing that Finland for example got the JPL...then JPM. So what is next?
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Jpn?

...k.l.m.n.o...
[Galaxy 3 General] HaWaN:
next will be JPO, JPP, JPQ, JPR, .... :D
[Galaxy 3 General] baldimir:
I think after all the time we have been waiting for the update that it should be called WTF :)
[Galaxy 3 General] HaWaN:
haha, i agree :D
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
And then not xxwtf but XD WFT!
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
What's the difference between bojp6 and bojpc?
[Galaxy 3 General] fallensoldier:
i saw its been released in spain.
[Galaxy 3 General] kemko:
Do you mean that is now available for Spain on KIES ???
[Galaxy 3 General] fallensoldier:
yes also in sweden i heard
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Is it JPM or something else?
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Samsung has 6 more days for the dutch update to be ready...
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
That means... You have to wait 6 more days :D
[Galaxy 3 General] reddead66:
when is it coming to india??
[Galaxy 3 General] protomank:
Maybe if I keep asking every day when it comes to Brazil, it will arrive sooner?

C'mon guys! Relax a bit!

No one knows when it is coming to India, Brazil or Netherlands, we have to wait. When the updates arrives on Kies, someone will post here, so there is no need to keep asking ;)
[Galaxy 3 General] -i5800-:
Mugg, waiting...
[Galaxy 3 General] turboblaz:
You have right but I know that for my country it will take ages before we get 2.2 via Kies :)
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
What? Why?
[Galaxy 3 General] rickslick:
JIT on offical update

Will the official update contain JIT compiler?
[Galaxy 3 General] rohit3221:
Almost end of march...no update for India...:(
[Galaxy 3 General] :
i will wait till 1april . if it didn't arrived then Custom rom
[Galaxy 3 General] dceite:
There will NEVER be any Froyo Update for this phone (i5801). Period.

Confirmed from Samsung India customer care on phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] rohit3221:
Many ppl @ cust care dont even know what is froyo...:mad:
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Why there would not be FroYo for 5801? There has already been a few FroYos out there...so I don't understand what you are saying. If you wanted, you could flash one of the several FroYo Custom ROMs right now.
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
Some people at customer services (at least at my ISP's) can't even understand that there is no such thing as "Start menu" in Linux or Mac OS X :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] dceite:
I meant the l Samsung India's official Android 2.2 update for i5801. Not custom ROM.
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Yea I understood what you meant. What I was saying that there is no reason why there would not be official 2.2 update for India's 5801, since there are official 2.2 updates in other parts of the world. It would not make any sense to not release it in India too if the rest of the world has it.
[Galaxy 3 General] TH3_Downer:
I think we just have to wait till 31 march on several site u will see that the i5500 wil be updated from 21-24 march or something and the i5800 will be updated on the 31 march
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
for the gazillionth time that is what samsung mobile from a specific country said (romaina i think), you cant take that as meaning that it will be available globally then. It might happen, but thats not what it means.
[Galaxy 3 General] god_md5:
I5801ZHJPF hongkong 2.2 is out

Witch country is this from?
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Hongkong » china
[Galaxy 3 General] nastoff:
In Italy Kies actually don't provide any update for Galaxy 3 .... but we flash custom rom! :-)
[Galaxy 3 General] shubhamchamaria:
Flash JPF Rom:

Instead of waiting for sucky samsung to provide an update i recommend that we should flash the jpf rom:

here is the link for a good youtube video that will explain to you how to install this firmware:
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Why JPF there are much more now...JPM,JPD,JPE...all kies releases only
[Galaxy 3 General] fluir:
waiting

I live in uruguay and can't get the froyo update yet.
[Galaxy 3 General] shubhamchamaria:
I agree that there are kies releases now but jpf has been tested by me.....

credits @rudolf895: for the video
[Galaxy 3 General] shubhamchamaria:
got jpm....better than jpf...
[Galaxy 3 General] HaWaN:
Poland -> ERA -> got update.

PDA : JPD

PHONE : JP4

CSC : JP4
[Galaxy 3 General] TheChaoticLlama:
So when do we get the official update?
[Galaxy 3 General] :
that's mystery
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Two more days left...
[Galaxy 3 General] JeroenGijselaar:
We should make some game of this :D I bet the update won't hit Kies this week!!
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
Good idea! I bet 4. April, it will hit croatia
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Haha, 70 per cent you win!

But maby... I say maby... Will samsung keep his promise of 31 march... (i really hope so)
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
31st march is promised only for romania
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Thank god you said it, I was worried that i would have to say it for the gazillion and firstt time
[Galaxy 3 General] ronhoover88:
Lol..why is everyone bothered about an official update...once they try a custom rom they would never attempt to look for it as well:-)
[Galaxy 3 General] Klamer.S:
I vote for 1 April. That is an easy promise for Samsung anyhow..
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
I vote for an announcement on april 1st
[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
I vote 31 march because they said in november: before the beginning of april.
[Galaxy 3 General] om2don:
well, the custom roms may be faster,

but every single one i wanted to test had some sort of a fault- short battery life,

strange clicking sound during call every 2 sec., wifi not working, gps not working.

not all the things in one rom are faulty, but 1 or 2 things on every single one.

then i went back to stock eclair and remembered how a rom should work, so that is the reason why I am waiting for kies update, and i suppose that other people do to.

I am waiting to see ARMVK Dev-Team in action... sound promising
[Galaxy 3 General] Markie16:
Have we then also live wallpaper, when the update 2.2 is coming out
[Galaxy 3 General] PolarSoul:
Not in the stock roms. You can enable them with a little effort though. There are guides here if you search.
[Galaxy 3 General] ROLY5573:
Samfirmware twittered less than an hour ago that Galaxy 3 and 5 get Froyo in April. Haven't we been here before?

[Galaxy 3 General] tumtum100:
They all only says it will come soon
[Galaxy 3 General] Markie16:
I hope tomorrow.

I can't wait longer.
[Galaxy 3 General] theakkadian:
whats's you gonna do? eheheh we must wait, or install custom...
[Galaxy 3 General] Markie16:
I don't know how to root the apollo. I'm verry bad in that thinks.
[Galaxy 3 General] theakkadian:
There are two easy ways, the best i think is to use superoneclick.

You don't need root to install roms.
