Galaxy S Android 2.2 Froyo update begins to trickle out

galaxy-s-froyo-image4.jpg

Based on breathless reports we're seeing on Twitter and in the XDA-Developers' forums, it would appear that Samsung has just pushed out the official Android 2.2 Froyo update for its Galaxy S as promised. Our Nordic friends are the first to report seeing the build I9000 JPM update in the latest version of Samsung's Kies PC software. It's early days though, so do let your fellow i9000 owners know how it goes in the comments below.

Ooooooh fingers crossed this end too!!

Hmmmm Kies just told me to update it from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 and now it doesn't run anymore even after a reboot LOL!

Will have to uninstall and reinstall and will try again....

EDIT: No update yet so still running JM1 - If the new update doesnt fix my alarm clock I'm getting rid of the phone anyway...

Ive been using this update for some time now and never had a problem with it. I upgraded from 2.1 about 3 days after getting the handset.

It is a far better speed improvement over 2.1, but i found it still worked better when it had the OCLF installed.

Other than that, there are a few tweeks here and there on the main screen, but since i run Launcherpro, it doesnt really effect me.

How do I go about doing that? Do you have a guide that you can recommend?

Hmmmm I don't have my phone on me at the moment so can't check but I think you power on while holding volume up and home?

It should come up with a list of options with reset being one of them - Use the volume buttons to scroll up and down and the home button to select.

Don't forget to sync the phone to your google account and use SMS Backup+ first so you don't lose any contacts, calendar or text messages! Ooooh and make sure there's no photos saved on the phone memory that you want to keep!

Good luck!

Samsung announced it was a staggered roll-out with nordic regions getting it first.

If you've installed any lagfix remove it before updating or it can cause some very odd things (market missing etc) that might only come back after a phone reset.

You should be able to upgrade from official roms via kies without losing settings/apps, but some prefer to wipe still anyway.

According to the xda forums have a registry trick that can fool kies into thinking you are in a nordic region to get the update right now, it does not cause your phone to change imei or region or anything after the update, it only fools kies to let you download it, the update itself is the same for all regions it seems.

Firstly, I downloaded and installed the latest version of kies (Kies_1.5.3.10093_82) and ran it and connected phone to PC, chose kies connection mode and once detected clicked firmware update option in kies. It said it couldn't be updated. I kept kies running, minimised it and ran regedit, located HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB and searched for string SoftwareRevision, HIDSWVER and ProductCode under DeviceDB. Once located, changed them to:

SoftwareRevision to “I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3″

HIDSWVER to “I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3″

ProductCode to “GT-I9000HKDXEE”

Closed regedit and swapped back to the running kies and clicked firmware upgrade again. This time it gave me the option for the 2.2 update.

Much better that you read through it here - http://www.careace.net/2010/10/15/galaxy-s-froyo-2-2-update-gt-i9000-device-country/ or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809423

tried that and it did not work.

As far as I'm aware, the update is only compatible with a GT-I9000, for phones from Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa. If you have the correct model and reside in a supported country, what stage didn't work for you? Kies connection issues or unable to locate relevant sections in registry?

Worked first time for me, using O2 and from UK.

Thats why, I live in Canada.

Looks like the issue might be the new firmware not being approved to use protected apps. Hopefully this will resolve itself after a few days, when Google updated the market for my new firmware.

Ive been on the firmware for some time and not experienced any such issues. Why do you think the firmware is to blame?

to reset:

Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.

Make sure you backup your contacts first!

    • Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
