Anything evidently new / better? My existing Kies setup is working fine finally and don't want to disturb it unless there is something interesting in the new release.

Will the Kies hack software still work with this? BTW not only is 2.3 out but Gingerbread 2.4 has also now been seen in the wild so it would be fun to still be able to access the Test Mode

just less bloated. appears to be more user friendly ( not hard! )
not a massive difference so if yours is working i wouldnt bother switching. knowing samsung it would probably break somehow!!

Unless it is needed to install 2.3 !
They did this with Original Kies remember so we could update to JPO

I only know of 2.3 on nexus x. If 2.3 was released on Sgs i would be on it already! :-D
So does kies 2 give any special reason to use it? I haven't used kies much at all.

Kies 2.0 looks like a Linux-Version of iTunes. Testing ...
Cool stuff. Much better as prior Versions. RAM usage is big but it's a much better GUI but not Windows7 like.

Can you connect your SGS with Kies 2? If yes, do you have original stock firmware(without root, lagfix or whatever)?

Kies 2 Does not support the reg hack.
Time to update the Kies Registry Patcher 1.7.0.0,
Interface is super lot of interface change. Its good

Works great , and lol. In the video guide when you check firmware upgrade Galaxy S is the example and it upgrades to jm1 , lol'ed

Is it twice as crappy?

Just istalled and it works.
Anyway it prompts me to do a firmware upgrade (DBT code) even if i am on the same firmware it prompts me to upgrade to (JPO). Is Anyone experiencing this?
Even when using check FUS on android market it shows me JPO but with 5 Jan 2011 Date, when previously was 5 Nov 2010, anyone has some info about this?

@titorez I have this issue too. I'm from Poland but I have Germany product code. After I click Update it automatically disconnects the phone and fail. Even if I try to save my contacts on PC it fails.

Exactly what i was talking about, but i did not try to upgrade or play with contacts.
I will wait for the 2.2.1 to be available to "upgrade".

[Q] Multiview firmware update problem

Hi guys.
I have just received my new Galaxy Note II. Live in Denmark, and on the box it says "approved for nordic operators".
I don't have the multiview function. Holding the back arrow doesn't activate anything, and there is no menu option I haven't turned on, as far as I see.
I heard this was a problem with European models, but I also read that Samsung had issued an update to fix it.
According to the phone, I have the newest software version.
I tried to upgrade firmware via Kies. Updated Kies. Tried both on my PC and Mac. The only message I get is that my device does not support firmware update via Kies. Very annoying.
I made some search on the net, I even tried Kies mini, but without effect.
Does anyone have an idea about what I should try?
I post a screenshot of my system information.
Thanks a lot. Take care.
Agoston

Not exactly sure how to help you but I'm sure it's probably that the update isn't available in your region. I could be wrong but the only way I know of at this point in time to fix this is to root and manually download and apply the update.

The update has been available in Spain just today. They are releasing it in different countries at different times, maybe to avoid problems with their servers.
Just wait a couple of days more.

I was thinking about:
1. downloading the update from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100
2. and following these directions:
http://www.todroid.com/update-samsu...elly-bean-firmware-xxalj1-multi-view-feature/
Do you think this can hurt/brick the phone or cause problems?
Thanks,

I upgraded to one of the firmwares found on that link but never got the multi-window. Wasted time .

Hmm, does this mean it worked for you? Did you actually follow those links? Which update version did you choose? Which country do you live in?

I had the same problem, just flashed a uk rom.

I contacted Samsung. They told me that the update would arrive in about 2-3 weeks.

CF-Auto-Root

S6 CF-Auto-Roots are available from the repository at http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ !

Nice, looking forward for it
Will test as soon as my device arrives.

I am afraid of this statement:
Before actually rooting though, consider that KNOX will likely be tripped, and there's a good chance untripped KNOX will be required for phone based payments.

As samsung pay is a feature I could use frequently. At the same time, I can't live without apps that requires root access to run.

Can someone that has a T-Mobile S6 please test this?! If so, then I honestly might not root my S6 -_- unless someone comes up with a way to not trip Knox.

The s6 is out now?

No, but there are enough engineers at service centers, distributors, inside Samsung itself, who already have one, leak the necessary files, and test the roots, for this to be available already.

thank you chainfire you do the best for all users

Hiya CF.
Awesome work!
Me=Big Fan.
Silly question. I just per-ordered a T-Mobile GS6 Edge (128). I would very much like to root it. If you could, would you link the correct download from your repository for this particular Phone/Model?
Thanks,
-NJ

Does this require wipe? Bootloader unlock?

What is the model number of the S6 (Tmobile) if any one knows?

Can confirm the model number. Guess root isn't available yet. Not used to using browser without adblock

Not working here either. I just received my T-Mobile GS6 today and I can't get it to apply the root. Odin just keeps failing.
Could it be the out-of-the-box OTA we received? Or was this ever actually working?

[Q] Help Needed for Newbie

Hi to all
I have the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 bronze non Wi-Fi. the Tab is rooted and now that I want to update firmware to lollipop it says that my Tab has been altered.
My question is do I need to unroot to get the new firmware and if so how do I do this. All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Paul

Non WiFi? They're all WiFi. :what:
I take it you're trying to ota. You can update via kies (smart switch) or use odin. The firmware is available at sammobile or Samsung updates or if you're lucky a fast mirror maybe posted here.

Don't waste your time, just use kies or update via Odin. They are both official methods.

Hi Sorry to be a pain but when I connect to Kies I get the message that my device is supported by Smart Switch. When I connect to Smart Switch I can't find how to update as it only gives me the choice to transfer data from either Apple, Blackberry or Nokia devices as in picture. When the device is rooted is not possible to do a factory reset.

If you have root or custom recovery you will not be able to update with smart switch you will have to download lolliepop firmware and use Odin to flash it.

Hi been away for a couple of weeks so first of all I would like to thank all that replied with suggestions.
Now I have downloaded the Lolipop file I have a couple of questions.
1) If I now update via Odin will this then make the tab unrooted again once the official Lollipop is loaded. The reason I ask this is because since rooting my device I cannot use my Sky Sports app or my Virgin Tv Anywhere app.
2) If the answer to question 1 is no, then how would I go about unrooting the Tab.
Thanks Paul

Yes, It will unroot your device.

Thanks for the quick reply.

It will unroot your device but it will NOT erase your data.
All user's data (settings, accounts, installed apps, files) will be preserved.

Ok thanks, will update hopefully sometime this weekend.

So I finally updated my tab tonight. Everything went smoothly, Checked software update and it says android 5.02 your device is up to date. Then the first problem I came across was that my Sky Sports app still says that it will not run on a rooted device. Do I need to do anything else to show this tab as non rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You probably should have unrooted first as there will be some residual files in data. The sky sports app is quite clever at detecting root.
You probably just need to wipe data.

Please use my app Phone INFO ☆Samsung☆, and check for the 'Root Existence' info in the ANDROID tab to see if it shows Yes or No?
There are several ways to detect if the device was rooted. I'm not sure how the Sky Sports app works.

yea it worked. just have some strange issue i had hoped this would fix. everytime i go into download mode it says installing system update like something is corrupted , not from your posted rom had it before think it might be hardware related. thanks

I have that exact same thing happening on my device as well. It is as if they pushed an update but did not complete the install or has some left over files that are causing confusion.

did anyone get it working. Mine works, loads form odin and then goes into a bootloop
