It says it will wipe everything. So a complete backup is needed.
I am still quite new to this. Forgive me, but what is the BEST way to back up EVERYTHING -- including apps and contacts and SMS etc.
I have Titanium Back up Pro (and im rooted) though I haven't really used it yet -- is this the best ?
Is there any good apps out there ? Any good programs I should know ?

I just saw this too. Unfortunately, I've upgraded to JH2. The facebook post says you need JG9.
We can use this post for our flash guide using Kies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766589
Now... how can we locate a JG9 firmware image? I cannot find it on samfirmware. I guess we'll need to flash back to get this update.
I'll update my post when I find information, but feel free to post how we can get back to the JG9 firmware if I'm off base.
- Titanium backup is good to backup apps and data.
- I've used SMS Backup and Restore to backup SMS.
- Contacts are backed up by Google itself as is the calendar.
- APN data might have to be re-entered manually. There is an APN backup and restore as well.
- I'm not sure if call log data can be backed up and restored.

Too late for my phone
but great news

I find titanium hard to use, undestand and unreliable. Mybackup pro is waaaay better.

Is it just me or didnt my phone update to that firmware weeks ago when I got the thing... Some fix Samsung, thanks alot for wasting the last 2 weeks of my life waiting on you to come up with a resolution.
Please someone tell me im wrong... lol

If you have attempted to resolve the three-button recovery issue by upgrading the device to JH2 using a version of Kies earlier than 1.5.110074_45 and the recovery procedure is not working, please visit a Bell authorized dealer to have the device returned to a Samsung authorized service centreto have the issue resolved.
WHAT ?????

I installed JH2 via Kies something like 2 weeks ago. 3 button recovery/download is still not working. The Facebook page helpfully recommends taking it back and getting it serviced, but I think I'll wait until it's bricked.

I guess our only hope is for someone to tell us how to safely downgrade..

Just downgrade to JG9 then do the update.. its a different version of JH2 that is up for download via KIES it updates the SPL. were the old one didn't

Im hoping someone can get KIES to downgrade to JM9, so that we can update to JH2 using the supposed new version of KIES. Dont really see how this will make any difference, but heres to wishful thinking.

Any idea how I can go about getting the JG9 firmware?

Does anyone have a download link for JG9? Pretty sure you can get kies to flash any rom you want by fiddling with the registry.

this is awesome news. im still on the stock firmware. ive been scared to update to ANYTHING due to this problem. i havent even rooted the thing.
im gonna wait and see what the results are for other people before i do this too. maybe im paranoid but it doesnt hurt to be patient i guess.

Sorry was trying to quote you.. Anyway Id love to get back to the previous firmware, Any idea how to go about that? Ive seen people redirect KIES to other Firmwares, ie the new Froyo build, but havent seen anything to go back.

Hmm...
This "new" JH2 which should fix the "3-button combos" is a low package.
Maybe Kies (Odin SS_DL) is able to update the bootloader, because Odin does not seem to be able to do it.
If someone wants to try it with Odin, I can upload the file.

Hey man I am with you I think. I haven't done NO upgrades or firmware updates. Why? b/c I can't get Keis to work
So I'm still on stock.
My phone says this:
Original Production Software:
PDA: I9000UGJG9
PHONE: I9000UGJG9
CSC: I9000BMCJG9
I've only rooted my phone and used the 1-click-lag-fix
So questions -- once I upgrade my phone via Keis do I have to re-apply 1-click-lag-fix ?
do I have to un-root my phone before I upgrade via Keis ?
Thanks guys

@richthofen
Does this mean it is definitifly a software issue or could it still be an hardware issue since the older stock firmware can be updated and the newer roms can not..

Its software and it has been all along.. its the SPL Boot-loader... all they have done is get KIES to flash the boot loader this time.. in the past when you changed roms the bootloader was not changed.. now this flash with update the boot-loader with the fix..

Hmm, I updated a few weeks back to JH2. Its been running fine, but having that 3 button ability would give me more peace of mind. They suggest bringing it to a dealer for warranty replacement/repair if we've already upgraded - seems a bit excessive. I'm wondering if this "bootloader" alteration will be included in future firmware updates perhaps? Like froyo (hopefully in a few weeks)? If that's the case, I'll just wait for that instead of trying to flash back to JG9, then back forward to the "new" JH2.
Any word/thoughts on if this bootloader thing is a one-time deal from JG9 to new JH2 only?

I would assume that most people that want the 3-button fix are the kind of people that upgraded to JH2 as soon as it was available and thus with a version of kies "prior to 1.5.110074_45". Therefore most people will fall into the category where they must return the phone for service as explained in samsung FB note.
This is bizarre... even if the new firmware is the same as JH2 except for the low level stuff, they could have given it a new name just to allow kies to upgrade it. Instead they are explicitly telling us to send the phone back! It really looks like they are shooting themselves in the foot. Why not tell us to wait one week for Froyo and get the new boot loader + froyo at the same time. Returning it to Samsung will take much longer.
Also, there are a lot of users who did upgrade to JH2 using the latest Kies, and not one of them has emerged saying it fixed the 3-button issue.
Either Samsung has failed big time on this, or the statements on FB are not legit.

[Q] Update problems N5110

Hi everyone
I'm new here and english is not my first language so please be patient.
I have a Note 8 running stock 4.1.2 ... The first time I turn it on it asked me to create a samsung account and then started to download and install updates, since then, the firmware still the same and I read here that a lot of people has been rocking 4.2.2 for a while now, but when I hit "check for updates" it says that I have the latest updates installed, now I'm wondering if when samsung launches 4.4.2 would I get the update? in case I don't get the update, is there any way to get it or install it manually without voiding my warranty?
I'd really apreciate if somebody explains this to me and share with me the links to the tutorials to do this if it is posibble.
BTW... I'm from México if this helps to know whats happening
Thanks in advance.

Ok, is your 5110 a carrier based tablet or retail.
Mine came factory with 4.2.2 late 2013.
So I could not verify why the update you tried is not working.
It is possible Samsung servers have not registered your device and may take a few days to push an update.
Make sure your Samsung Account has the device registered, if so, you can try to push an update through Kies. Once your have your tablet setup in the program.

Well, mine came with 4.1.2 and I also bought it late 2013, I bought the tablet in a mall and doesn't appear to be linked to any carrier. I made the registration process but I don't know anything else, How do I check if my device has been registrered properly? the Note updated a lot of samsung apps and I have acces to samsung app store, so I though everything about registration was right, and yes, I tryed to update via Kies but is the same history, maybe is something about me geografic location.
Is there another way to get the updates or download the firmwares and install them?
Thanks for answer.

HELP! T-Mobile G3 - Can't Upgrade to Lollipop Via OTA or LGMobile Support Tool

Hi everyone! I need some help or guidance here. I think I may know why this is happening but not sure . I'll explain in detail below:
Anyway, so the long awaited Lollipop was apparently released on April 7th for the T-Mobile LG G3. I've been waiting for it for a while just as many other probably have been. Well, none of the updates ever showed up on my phone via OTA or the LGMobile Support Tool.
The only thing I can think of as to why this MIGHT be happening to me (unless nobody else has been able to update yet because T-Mobile delayed the update) is because my IMEI has been reflashed to a Galaxy Note 2. However, I'm not sure that a different IMEI on my phone would prevent it from being updated since the firmware is obviously still a D851 LG firmware...
My phone is NOT rooted. It's all stock by the way.
Anyway, I guess what I need to know is:
1) Has everyone else with the T-Mobile Lg G3 been able to successfully update to Lollipop yet?
2) Will the different IMEI on my phone affect whether or not my phone is detectable as a D851 G3?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Bump. Anybody?

I'm really not sure that IMEI have any effect on the update center , have you tried to do a factory reset ?
another thing I can think of is just root your device and install a stable fast stock rom that uses LP on it ( like cloudy ).

Yeah I'm not sure it does either. I talked to a friend of mine that works at T-Mobile and he said a mismatched IMEI shouldn't make a difference. However, worst case scenario I'll have to manually flash it to Lollipo once the official ROM has been uploaded somewhere on the internet. I haven't tried to do a factory reset. Not positive on this but I think the IMEI is stored in memory that won't change whether it's factory reset or not especially since the original one was wiped and replaced.
I'll try to stick to the stock ROMs on this phone to avoid any issues with the custom stuff. Although, I was never able to successfully tether via WiFi on this phone. It works via USB cable. Still annoying hehe.

There is already a firmware on the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I don't know if you can do this guide though since you never rooted your phone, better if you ask there.

Thanks for the link. I don't think the OP has the D851 Lollipo version uploaded. I only saw it for D855. I guess I'll just wait until everyone else gets the official update and flash it manually. From what it sounds like people have been having issues minor issues with Lollipop anyway. Maybe that's why T-Mobile is delaying the OTA updates. Who knows

Kernel Version: 3.4.0-540242

You need to provide much more information like exact model number, exact firmware version that's running on phone now, what carrier your using and also your shoe size.
In order to get the best help you need you must provide better info.
You may be trying to install the wrong update.

Download this free app from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
Then, take screen shots of the General, Firmware and Android screens. (You can take screenshots by holding down the Power and Home at the same time until you hear the camera sound).
Then, post those screens.
This will tell us what you have.
My guess is that the T-Mobile OTA updates may not work for phones outside of the US, but I could be wrong.
You may have to flash the phone using ODIN if you have a Windows PC. There are lots of threads on flashing the Stock Roms.
You can download the firmware from either Sammobile.com or this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508

Its not a rom it's a firmware, official from Samsung, which is exactly what an update does. Other than an OTA, it is the only way to update your device

Because you have an international carrier, you probably need to check with them for an update.
But on the thread that I linked to, other people took the Marshmallow update, then did a factory reset and got their service back.
I can't help you more than that since I live in the US.
