Don't you mean I9000DTJG4. ie. JG4
Might like to update the thread Title.
I'm thinking of reflashing my OPTUS SGS back onto JG4 OPTUS firmware.
Wondering about my warrantee even though I bought it unlocked through an OPTUS reseller not through OPTUS.
You got it through Kies is a pretty good acheivement in itself with all the negative responses out their about Kies.

I've gotten 4 updates through Kies on the Korean phone, a guy I send PMs to on here just got an OTA update yesterday which surprised the hell out of me.
*EDIT* He is also in Korea on the Korean version. And 2 of my firmware updates might count as one since they came bundled, but I think they were separate releases and I just happened to get both at once.

I guess I am not able to update to this versoin because I flashed with JM2 ??
What if I flash with soemthing like JG1 ? Will I be able to upgrade ?
One more question, how does kies knows that it's an optus device ? Is it the IMEI or the Sim card or the current ROM ??

and plz pack it 4 us if it work

Yay first update completed. now have a task manager that wasn't there before, lost all contacts and apps, is it supposed to keep these? could be annoying if have to restore from back up every time there's an update.

Did it fix the lag and GPS-issue?

Kies Sync Problem after upgrading
Hi,
I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to the new JG4 firmware.
I have the following builds:
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband I9000DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build: Eclair.DTJG4
The problem is that after upgrading Kies i can no longer connect back to my phone.
The MTP USB Device driver comes up with an error as soon as Kies fires up. The old version of Kies had no problems but the latest release has some real issues.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Peter

Thought I'd use mybackup pro before I try out this jg4 update. I havn't rooted yet - will I still be able to backup all the app and data needed? I guess the important bit to know is - what can't I backup because I'm not on root. Probably should figure that out before backing it up and going to the update!

Flashing your phone removes applications, contact, email and everything you hold dear hence why in most of the trheads it say's to back this up using the available backup programs.

Lost settings, contacts and apps after upgrade
I am new to Android and the SGS. Is it normal to lose everything when upgrading the firmware?

I lost everything also! This is my first time updating android firmware and coming from an iPhone I wasn't expecting it. I don't recall seeing a warning message, but I may have missed it as it took several attempts to get kies working. Searching the HDD for dll files/renaming/moving around just to get the update to work is bit much to ask!
Unfortunately it hasn't done anything to fix the GPS problems, I can't get a location after trying for an hour. Have had trouble with wifi in the past, but this seems to be resolved now.

It seems that Market is broken in this official firmware
I can't find Skies of Glory or MSN Talk Pro
It turns out that all protected applications are not shown in Market - pretty lame from Samsung.

Poor effort
Sorry Samsung, but to lose all your contacts, settings and downloaded applications while updating (and without any warning) is a very poor effort regardless of any improvements that may have been made. This is very disappointing and unprofessional and the update should be withdrawn until these problems are resolved. F grade.
Regarding Kies not connecting to the SGS. I had that problem prior to updating and tried many things to resolve it. Eventually, formating the SD card fixed this issue for me.

I can confirm this is the case. It would appear other applications are creating the issue on the phone with 16digit extentions or files. After an internal SD format kies worked correctly.
I have to agree with you all in theory.
Even flashing the firmware on say a Nokia phone, a message comes up asking you to backup your data prior to upgrade as you will loose it on the phone. Samsung have poorly implimented this in Kies. It will flash the firmware but give you no warning of the implications.
I guess you could also argue that this is an Android phone and not a iPhone. Things are done differently in Android then in iPhone and maybe a bit of reading might have identified that you should always back up you data prior to flashing the firmware.
That being said Kies should have an inbuilt ability to backup and restore your data and applications if they are also offering to flash the firmware.
Wish you all luck with it.

Yep, I find this a serious serious problem without a working KIES. I don't want to be forced to surrender personal info to google. MyBackUp steals the info to the cloud even if you wanted to backup just to the storage card.
How does this compare to JM2 to those who had tried both, in terms of lag and GPS accuracy?

Rooting is not what a typical consumer will do..so how can you officially back up in android?
So samsung must had a serious bug in kies it shouldn't remove your apps.
I Odin to m2 n yes I lost all my apps but I was expecting that fair enough but from kies cmon
Though my contacts being sync to google that was ok...

Anyone got the Three(UK) Froyo?

According to the three galaxy s blog : blog.three.co.uk/2010/07/28/video-samsung-galaxy-s-on-three/#comments
Froyo was live on keis on Friday, yet it still isn't showing up for me
Current Version : PDA:JG2 / Phone:JG1 / CSC: JF2
Anyone else upgraded officially from three

I will check that at home tonight. Will let you know in a few hours time.

It may take a while to get around to everyone.
I would wait a few hours and see if the update appears.

No update for me.
PDA: JG3 PHONE: JG1 CSC: GPG
"The device's version cannot be updated"

Hmm - There seems to be an update to Kies though. Wonder if it's related? Downloading now...

Oh well, updated Kies and still no Froyo update despite it having been 'available since Friday'

Same thing here ... got excited by the Kies update thinking I'll have Froyo afterwards

We'll just have to accept that Three are incompetent

I spoke to a Three Tele Team , He told me that It was a Beta Testing and got Out Mistakenly , And he confirmed its not Live at this Moment and he also confirmed that its coming out this Week Definetly ... and he told That you people will like the Froyo Update From Three ...
I dono if they also have people there like XDA , who do Lagfix and other Fixes .... Becz My Orignal 2.1 Three ROM had no LAG no , problems at all ....

Ah well, another day passes and no froyo for me, darnit!

Mmm now that would be lovely -- a fast stable Froyo I do experience lag from time to time -- esp sometimes when receiving a phone call ...

I get that sometimes......usually after three bottles of wine

Not sure whether anyone in this thread will be able to help, but I've got a Galaxy S on Three and am wondering how it'll react when Froyo finally arrives.
You see, in a fit of frustration last month when Samsung said 2.2 was out for the Galaxy S, then suddenly said it wasn't unless you were Norwegian - I tried the Kies registry hack.
That caused weirdness with my phone, and ended up with leaving it only starting in recovery mode. Eventually Kies decided to reflash, and I seem to have ended up with some kind of unbranded firmware.
It shows up in Kies as PDA:JM2/PHONE:JM1/CSC:JM1, and says "This device's version cannot be updated".
Anyone know whether the release of the Three version of Froyo will fix this?
Thanks!

You wont be able to upgrade with 3 unless you get your old software back and the only way i know possible is by using the kies registry patcher.

[Q] Updating problem. Samsung Galaxy 3

Hey everyone. this is my first post here.(hope I'm not in the wrong section)
I have a samsung galaxy 3(or i5800). I bought it just a couple of days ago.
Everything works fine. Just one problem, it has android 2.1 inside. It's a lil bit slow for my preferences.
I really want to update it to 2.2 but I am facing a big wall ahead of me.
I read some threads here saying that I should use a software called Odin. I really dont know how to do that. Its not that i am a noob but it just doesnt recognize my phone and some errors in chinese appear
Can someone help me please?!?!?!?!?!?!

First you need to install kies...so that you have the drivers for ur phone installed in the PC...
Second you need to check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873645
its explained very clearly

You could also update the normal way using Samsung kies. It's the official program to update your phone.

Nah I couldn't do it with Kies. It would say I had the latest firmware. Anyways I managed to upgrade it with odin, so thankssssssss

[Q] Why won't my Beast Running UBKK2 Update?

Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.

If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.

Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,
Jim G.

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update

But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!

Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.

Hello.
I have a German unbranded device.
Since I did not want to wait for Samsung I installed the update myself by getting the already released version they seed in Italy since a few days.
Almost the same. Lte and German Sim card working, everything like if is supposed to. I think installing the Italian update is not a problem.
Works like a charm. Much faster then before. Some screens are following. I can recommend it to everyone that doesn't want to longer. St least for me there's is no problem.

Is your device a T715 or T715Y? Does it even make any difference? I have a T715Y (imported from China, I think) and have downloaded the Nougat ROM (which is noted as being for T715 (but not specifically fore the T715Y) from Sammobile and tried installing it using Odin 3.12 but it fails. I also tried using Odin 3.11 which also fails. Both ran as Administrator.
Current ROM Build Number is T715YDXU2BPJ1
Can anyone give me some idea of where I might be going wrong?

I think you need a rom for your device (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T715Y/).
For me the update with the italian version worked great and I now have a german-austrian-italian S2 :laugh:

I have sm t 715 without y. Differences between the both devices I don't know but I'd suggest you wait until the proper firmware is release for your device. As far as I see there is no android 7 rolled out four your device.

Any ETA on Android 7.0 for the real SM-T715Y? Does anybody know anything?
I got the SM-T710 XSA Nougat update some time ago now. But I bought the 4G version off Gumtree and it is still stuck with 6.0.1 which means the lowlife carriers are probably halting the updates.
It is disgusting. With carrierless Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Samsung waits for the carriers in XSA region to start to release their crapware, before they release the official Samsung firmware. I do not know if this occurs in other regions.
FYI, the SM-T715Y is the real Tab S2. The SM-T715 has very few firmware regions and was probably made for dodgy countries with outdated cell towers. Look them up on sammobile.com/firmwares
Thanks people!
