Hi there!
I am a bit overwhelmed by the strange release order on samsung-firmware.com of the last "inofficial" (whatever) releases of the european i9000 firmware. Theres a JM1, a JM1 NEW, a JM2 and JM5. To make chaos complete Kies is offering me a JM1 as well, when entering test mode. What kind of JM1 would that be? The old one, the new one, or a total different one? I followed all the threats losely over the past month, but somehow lost track. A short guide is very much appreciated. Or, to put it bluntly, what F/W should I flash regarding stability, speed and gps? Or, just what the heck is the right order?
Thanks in advance,
Chicken
The JM1 New is the Version from Kies, so if you worry about warranty issues, you always should use KIES updates.
I don't know if there is a difference between JM1 and JM1 NEW.
I would recommend JM5. Stable, fast and everything works as it should.
I'd also recommend to flash the Samset rom after flashing JM5 and then the latest Lagfix. Your phone will be flying!
Well.. are you sure about that? Because I got JM2 from Kies, and it's different than the JM2 from samsung-firmwares.com...
I'm using DDJG4 and it works perfect and even better with lag fix and evo gps fix
JPJG8 is the best version I used so far! It also does not have the contact FC bug!
I bought my Galaxy S in Germany end of June
I got JF3 as Stock Fimrware
I Updated to JM1 over Kies
as i heard JM2 over Kies is only for branded SGS.
All other Fimrware Versions are from Samsung but not officially released (over Kies),
They are leaked Developer or Beta Versions.
The JM1 from Kies is diiferent to that previously leaked one from samsung-fimrwares.
So in th officially sight there is no chaos(for the firmwares).

Im on XXJF4 PDA XXJF3 Phone and TMUJE6 CSC on an unbranded and unlocked SGS and when i plug into Kies it tells me that i cant update my current version. I have tried other firmwares for samsung-firmwares and it still tells me i cant update. Does this device need to be put into a procific mode to update though Kies or is the no update for UK?

I understand you are Norwegian? Did you get JM2 from Kies???
Yes, I got JM2 from Kies, but with Kies in test-mode. I didn't even have to set up my APN again, it included Telenor

Great! When?
Unbranded SGS?
Unbranded SGS yes. Flashed it a couple of days ago.
BTW! This is the firmware info:
PDA: I9000XWJM2
Phone: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000XEEJM1
To determine the LATEST firmware look at the last three letters/numbers.
Assume they are in base 36 and then look which has a higher value.
All good?

I assume you are making fun of me somehow.. I just don't get it. Care to elaborate?

Hmm.. i'm running the new JM1 from samsung-firmwares (which is a official release!)
You can see that because the CSC file states XEEJM1 instead of XXJM1

I couldn't get any update running in "normal" mode.
This makes me rage...
I also have an unbranded SGS (Bought from Komplett), and Kies won't give me an update in test mode or normal mode. I really want this new - official - firmware.
Maybe I need an older version of Kies...
The "leaked" firmwares aren't beta or test firmwares necessarily (except the Froyo firmwares) - they're merely service centre firmwares. Samsung releases many firmwares, some of which have different firmware versions, but which may essentially all be the same, to their service centres but never makes them available for users to download.
To my knowledge, there is NO "official" UK update yet (via Kies). However, if you take your phone to a service centre, they may well flash it with a newer firmware than the one you have.
----------------------
When dealing with firmwares it is very important to remember that one firmware release (one code branch) may contain 20 or 30 or more actual firmwares. This is because of network / operator branding and language files. This is why the firmwares we're seeing for the Galaxy are XXJM5, JGJM8 etc.
Samsung firmware versioning works like this:
Firmware version i9000XXJM5 means:
i9000 = Phone model
XX = Country / region (XX is generic Europe 1)
J = Year of build / release
M = Month of build / release
5 = Consecutive number (so 5th build of the JM branch)
...what is interesting is that Samsung are using month codes which are over the 12th letter in the alphabet (which is L) - this usually means the firmware is a test / beta firmware, but the fact that JM2 is available to the public via Kies counters this.
When you take all these things into account, it becomes obvious that the JG and JM builds are all essentially the same, but just with different localisations / customisations for the languages / regions / networks they were originally intended for.
I should also add that any one "firmware" is made up of three elements; the PDA (phone code), CSC (branding / localisation / applications) & modem (baseband) code. That's why you will sometimes see different version numbers for each specific part of a firmware, within the one "whole" firmware version.

What FW version are you running now? I was running JM2 from samsung-firmwares.com when I tried through Kies.
Is it possible to update to the froyo beta that was released yesterday via odin, or any idea when the full release will be. My galaxy s wont connect at all to kies after trying all the advice on here. Its also showing the product code xef which i think is a french one,can this be changed with a new csc file.
Thanks stephen
edit im running jm5. Lagfix and 1.2oc
I had the same problem check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400
And look for JPC FIRMWARE FOR ODIN
I've flashed yesterday with odin and pit 512 and it works perfect
Samsung UK have just posted on Facebook that the UK Froyo rollout has started on Kies. Here's their full post:
"Samsung UK The roll out of Android 2.2 Froyo for Galaxy S has begun today, as some of you will have already seen. As previously stated the roll out will be completed in the UK by the end of November. To get your handset ready for the upgrade please download the latest version of Kies from the support section on Samsung.com/uk, where you can also find a video in the ‘How-To-Guides’ on how to download Kies and install Android 2.2 Froyo. http://bit.ly/cfjJDa"
...now going to check version numbers on my Kies...
EDIT: Also a new Kies version available: 1.5.3.10103.100 (which will NOT allow registry hacks to change product code / firmware version)
Also for XEU phones!!! XD YEAH!!!
Argh mines still won't update :\ 'this devices version cannot be updated'
I got an update today. The version is JPA/JPP. I updated using kies, from JPK. hope its the official one
Kies seems to be wise to the registry key hack to change firmware versions... at least it is ignoring whatever I set the registry to on my computer

Can someone please post a non-Froyo OFFICIAL UK product code and HIDSWVER entry for me please...
Already on JPO won't let me update using Kies.

The update through KIES is version JPO if you're in the UK
I'm in Ireland, got the phone from Carphone Warehouse and updated via Kies to JPA/JPP today. Also installed Ya-OK-Kernel, which seems to work flawlessly.
Edith sais: I updated from JP6, deactivated all lagfixes first. Settings where lost, but all installed apps stayed.
Hey there, I just upgraded to Froyo through Kies.. How do I root on 2.2? I've forgotten how I did it on 2.1. :/
@ADeadlySpoon: Can you tell me your HIDSWVER and ProductCode from your registry please?

Not sure that's going to help, apparently Samsung has blocked the registry hack as of Kies 1.5.3.10103_100. Any manual code one might enter is immediately replaced by the real one upon restarting the update.
Here are some codes if you are willing to try too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7872726&postcount=3

Thanks for this
HIDSWVER and product code are stored in the registry in Windows.
I know Kies has blocked this hack, I want to know the info for another reason (and I've changed the code on my phone and can't remember it's original one)

Froyo. JPKA3, which is an arabic version and i lived in asia, that s why samsung kies showed a message that your firm ware cannot be updated.........
Facing the same issue
I Just bought samsung galaxy mini GT S 5570, mobile phone, and downloaded the latest version of samsung kies 2.0 software.
When I connect the device to computer the Kies showed a message that this device firmware can not be updated.
Current Firmware version: PDA:KA3/PHONE: KA2/CSC:KA3
Froyo. JPKA3 Version 2.2.1. It's language was Arabic and i changed in Endlish US and when I installed the KIES then the same language is selected.
Now the problem is > why is it NOT showing that the upgrade is available?
SHOAIB
I presume that you are using a PC connected to the net.
I believe KIES looks up your phone on Samsung's websites and probably decides that an upgrade for your area / your phone is not available. We really do not know how kies works internally, so cannot say why KIES says no upgrade is available, when in fact, upgrades for your region / region from where you purchased the phone are available.
If you are looking for official firmware - look at samfirmware, and use ODIN (NOT kies) to upgrade.
If you want custom ROM, read this thread:-
