Galaxy S Android 2.2 update now available via Kies

October 15, 2010 By kunal 111 Comments

froyo-upgrade

 

Here’s some good news for Galaxy S users. It seems Samsung is rolling out the Android 2.2 update for Galaxy S (I9000). Few users are reporting that the JP6 update with JPM modem is now available via Kies, Samsung’s PC software. Not many are reporting success (except few Norwegians) but hopefully, it will be extended to other regions as well.

UPDATE: Currently, the update seems to be available in the Nordic region only.

UPDATE 2: Samsung has officially acknowledged the update. Nordic region is the first to get and will be followed by other European markets, Southeast Asia, Middle East Asia, North America, Africa and rest of the world.

[Thanks, Brett!]

    I have the update now via kies..I just change the reg for kies,and then i was able to update to froyo 2.2…so no waiting for slowly samsung.

    Here is how i did it.

    First uninstall all lagfixes

    Start up kies and connect your phone. Wait till kies recognizes the sgs.

    Go to firmware upgrade.

    If it doesn’t report a JPM/JP6 upgrade close the upgrade window but do not close kies!

    Go to windows start > run > and type “regedit”

    Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/

    You will probably see a bunch of numbered keys (they look like folders) Find the key/folder that has strings that match your current firmware. So if you are on JPK look for that in the keys. If you have more than one galaxy S (it can happen) then match the imei with the phone you want to upgrade.

    Change the following values so they look like this:

    “SoftwareRevision”=”I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3”
    “ProductCode”=”GT-I9000HKDXEE”
    “HIDSWVER”=”I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3”

    Now go back to kies and click on firmware upgrade again. You should now see the JPM upgrade.

    Other info:

    First boot can take a while so let it sit for a couple minutes while you stare at that glowing S
    Doing this will not change your product code.
    3 button recovery mode still works.
    This won’t wipe your phone’s apps, settings, messages or SD card. (at least not for me coming from jpk)
    It doesn’t matter what firmware you are on we are just using the JF3 value to fool kies.
    You will lose root if you were rooted.
    If kies crashed while extracting the firmware then try an older version of kies.
    If your phone really hangs for more than 5 minutes at first boot then something probably went wrong. In that case start up in 3 button recovery mode and do a factory reset. Dont blame the registry hack, its kies that’s the problem. As always flash at your own risk

    regards stef

    tried 3 button recover which failed. its because the update above didnt have all the vodaphone apps and skin etc i think. did a bit of searching which led me here: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032

    it was a bit complicated but i managed to restore my phone which now works fine.
    Kies now reports:
    Model Name: GT-I9000
    Current version: PDA:JM6 / Phone:JM3 / CSC:JM1
    This device’s version cannot be updated. Im not sure whether that means device will NEVER be updated, or that there just isnt an update yet. Cant tell as the English in Kies is terrible.

    Turn Galaxy S off.

    Hold and keep “volume up” + “home” buttons.

    Then press “power” button and only release the “power” button after the galaxy logo appears *while* still pressing the other 2 buttons.

    If you have an intact secondary boot loader (SBL), a menu will appear
    (get back if you don’t get to the menu).

    Navigate options via volume up/down buttons and select one with the home button.

    There must be a better way to check Froyo rollout@country
    than the Kies drill, no?

    I mean, I have to unmount my external SD card in order to get a decent reaction from Kies recognizing my SGS, have to click FW upgrade, click away backup and wait and eventually it says: NO update :-O
    The ‘official’ way afterwards to get my external SD back is a reboot…

    Isn’t there a “Sumsing 3000 Turbo ;-)” or something URL which at least shows when it has arrived@country whilst there’s no schedule available.

    Updated my Galaxy S with the Nordic 2.2 public release through Kies a couple of days ago. (I had to set the APN settings manually.)
    Samsung fixed a lot of issues, I can tell, but the reason why I put it away and returned to my Desire, was the lag in the e-mail client (Exchange), and that hasn’t been fixed:
    Selecting 15 mails and then the delete button, leaves your Galaxy S unresponsive for the next 5 minutes ๐Ÿ™
    That’s not good enough for a high-end business phone! I still believe my Desire performs better when it comes to starting applications, and obviously the e-mail client is way better on the Desire.

    Sandeep…

    I got this from another forum and it worked for me
    ——————————————-
    The solution, I finally discovered was to do with the UMDF (User Mode Driver Framework) service. It comes with WMP11, and installs during the setup.

    Looking at the UDMF installation logs (c:\windows\Wudf01000Inst.log) – I found that there were errors during installation – I figured that re-installing UMDF might fix the problem. (and it did!) Unfortunatly, as it is not in add/remove programs, I ran into problems trying to remove it. If you un-install WMP11, it does not remove the UMDF dll’s. If the dll’s exist, then the UMDF installer will skip during the re-install of WMP11.

    I managed to manually re-install UMDF using the method below.

    To find the installer files for UMDF, you need to get them out of the WMP11 Installer.

    Code:

    How to find the installer for UMDF

    1) Run the WMP11 Setup file “wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu”
    (It will extract the installer files into your %TEMP% folder)

    2) Click Start -> Run -> %temp%
    3) Press F3 and search for “umdf.exe”
    4) Copy this file to your Desktop
    5) Cancel the WMP11 Setup.

    Now, you need to fool windows into thinking that UMDF is not installed on your computer, by renaming some files. Copy & Paste the following into a Command Prompt.

    Code:

    rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\wudfrd.sys den_wudfrd.sys
    rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\wudfpf.sys den_wudfpf.sys
    rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfhost.exe den_wudfhost.exe
    rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfsvc.dll den_wudfsvc.dll
    rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfx.dll den_wudfx.dll
    rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfplatform.dll den_wudfplatform.dll
    rename C:\WINDOWS\system32\wudfcoinstaller.dll den_wudfcoinstaller.dll

    Now run the umdf.exe and re-install.

    Update summary:

    I updated my SGS to Froyo via the recommended Kies way on Sunday which _seemed_ to just work flawlessly. All my installed apps and the userdata was present. Access to the cloud was just fine. So far so good…

    Shortly after the update I noticed regular long term hangs. Something like the SGS not responding for minutes or the screen not unlockable.
    Factory reset looming… ๐Ÿ™

    Searching the Web didn’t unveil anything helpful so I decided to do the factory erase which was recommended in a lot of places with such a major update.
    FWIW: with WebOS I didn’t have such trouble on updates whatsoever but enough other trouble to decide to get an Android phone.

    After the factory reset (with the flash reformats and data loss) the real trouble begun when I reconnected to the cloud. Only some of my calendars got listed and only roughly the last month of non-repeated calendar entries got synchronized to the SGS. I had to erase the calender app data, the calendar data and calendar sync data a couple of times before I saw all calendars again (found tha hint on the Web). That erasure trick didn’t work reliably either. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Seems like when the list of calendars get’s retieved partialy durng the initial account setup on the SGS, it stays partial and never gets dynamically updated.

    I haven’t found a workaround to neither of these flaws (ie. not all calendars discovered reliably and partial calendar sync). Trying to set the date to the earliest posible to get more calendar entries synced is one pending option but you can’t set it to earlier than 1/1/2000, so all my pre 1/1/2000 entries ain’t synced to the device either.

    Doing Web searches you’ll see that the flaws are well known but don’t have decent priority for Google to fix it seems.

    Additionaly MyBackup Pro failed on me by not restoring Application data properly for an App+Data backup. Ie. the App got restored, the data not.

    A disastrous update for me…

    I have given up… this phone

    -hangs up in the middle of calls
    -is extremely slow
    -stops working completely from time to time
    -only occasionaly retrieves email
    -mixes up emails, subjects and bodies
    -email reading is very slow
    -no facebook option for news insted of all updates
    -crashes at updates
    -I cannot find a way to set the cursor between 2 letters
    -copy and paste is missing
    -the camera is so slow it makes almost no sense to use it
    -the camera stops working when the battery is only 40% full
    -the battery only lasts for 8 hours.. its a joke
    -often the display does not work so I cannot pick up a call
    -flah is rarely working, and if its so slow ist a mess
    -when the browser opens a new window he asks me with which browser
    -never connects to the wlan automatically
    -hardly ever uses 3g, also if I know its available
    -the best games apps I know from iphone are not available
    -most apps have terrible design and usability
    -I need to use the task killer frequently to make it run

    and and and

    I see no point why one would use this after using an iphone.. I switched back to the iphone.. maybe in some years I check back

    hi mic and frnds.yup i agree my phone was speedy on 2.1 the 2.2 is slightly speedy but not as the sam said.i thought the official realese will knock the faults.naah…..my signals drop for no reason facing blank screen prblm,battry juice is damm less,f***k flash is slow i can take a gud nite sleep to see it happi wiv tht lol wat a joke.lag is still ther,phone hanged 4,5 times afta update,still gussin y????android market jus stops telling force close.i dint face all this in eclair.otha things same as mic is facing.
    and yes rj put manual apn of the carrier u use.i added apn cause the apn section was blank,so the phone dosnt kno ur settings.

    but sam will defo clear this wiv an otha update cause nearly 3.5 to 4 milloin ppl r on galaxy. an mic my advice frnkly the sam is beauty but if can take a iphone ,there is no better otha phone than tht.its apps,looks etc etc r jus awesome.cho guys.

    thanks rocky…it is unfortunate that vodaphone is unable to give me exact settings… they sent an sms asking me to save the settings which i have done as is the process… but gprs is still not working and they have no further information to share…

    I tried an aircel connection and gprs is working fine with that so the issue is not the phone but the operator as far as the gprs is concerned…

    i am unhappy with the phone since it is too slow…my nokia E90 (my last phone) was faster… my wife uses iphone which is also faster… i tried the nokia n8 from a friend and i think i made the wrong choice while buying the SGS…

    a simple thing like adding a contact … when you press the next button after entering the name… it takes 4-5 seconds before the cursor reaches last name…

    the phone hangs if i am on a call and i try to look up the contact list (to pass on a phone no to someone for example)

    hi rj, yes its the operator settings…i use aircel and its good for me,using pocket internet 97 is nice and does the job.and yes iam a nokia fan but nokia is jus not keeping up the competition.it has to improv alot to keep up wiv andriod and iphone.an yes iphone as i said b4 its a beauty,no matter wat ppl say my frnd has iphone 3gs,iphone 4.and m8 it really looks solid when u hold it.i like the big screen of sam galaxy so using it,i got motorola tablet and its good too,i factory formated my galaxy and now its a bit better.its alot competition going as u kno 2.3 gingerbread is out wiv alot of extra fetures.and rumors of motorola releasing terminator aka t2 sppsd to ave 2ghz procesor,wiv extra punch of ram and extra support for gaming,now eemagine 1.5 or 2ghz pro mannnn thts somethin crazyyy the phone will rock if its getting retina or somled display..cheerz

    Hello. I need help. I have Galaxy S. It came with 2.1. I live in Estonia. I tried to update it with KIES but it told me “No Response from server. Please check if your internet connection is activated and try again”. I have tried many things but nothing. I found another solution from web how to install from 2.1 to 2.2 (I9000XXJP2 / 2.6.32.9). After I had installing it I discovered many bugs like:
    1. Screen does not act like it should. Freezes all the time.
    2. Does not keep up to date/renew Call log after 30 logs.
    3. Auto focus does not focus. Macro works ok.
    4. Clock every day goes 2-3 minutes behind. VERY STRANGE!!!
    5. Plays MP3 very low quality.

    ->Rocky: I have seem to have the same problem as Nickola. The 2.2. update should be out for my Galaxy in Germany since a long time, but the Kies software doesnt find any firmware update. You tell her to revert to her stock version – do you mean on the telephone or stock version of Kies? To my knowledge I havent done any updates on the phone, but of Kies I have. Would happy for any help, since 2.1. sucks.

    hey johan….if u ave flashed ur phone with any custom roms then ther is chance u ave changed the product code of ur phone,if kies has got 2.2 update and ur getting a msg tht,,device version not supported.or may b some otha freeki msg.one thing all frnds galaxy is not tht easy to brick.don panic jus follow the steps in order.by revert i mean going back to ur official rom if u did some flashing.and ther r reg patch methoods to get 2.2.1 too.its easy..as i said jus b step to step…i nearly 30 times i think flashed my phone…..god blessss….
    1-download odin tool(for flashing)
    2-pit files(usually pit 512 tht is wat i recomend)
    3-download stock 2.1 rom of ur country
    4-uninstall,,,,and reinstall fresh copy of kies
    5-use odin to flash the stock rom and see tht ur device works properly.
    5-then connect to kies and ull surely get the update.
    important—always make sure tht ur phone has got recovery mode and download mode working fine.plz see utube tutorial for tht.as i cant explain all in detail.so if u face prblms like bricking,hang logo,flashing not passed,want to flash custom roms,plz b free to mail me. [email protected] ill b happy to help…cheeerzz
