How is the froyo update for the SGS distributed?

I just recently switched from iphone to the SGS and yeah its all kinds of awesome. I bought a bell phone, unlocked it and using it with rogers. So i was wondering how the 2.2 update would work, i know its not out yet but does anyone know how the update works? Yep noob to all this.

It will most likely go through kies first then odin users who downloaded the roms. I don't think samsung does over the air updates.

Samsung push there updates through their Kies program. Once it's released you will also be able to flash through Odin.

Hey there. To answer your question, no. You don't need to upgrade anything before the Froyo version is officially released. Having said that, Samsung seems to have been working behind the scenes to fix quite a few bugs notably the GPS issue. So, it is always a good idea to upgrade to a newer firmware.
Again, upgrading or not really is a very subjective thing. Most people decide what firmware to use based on their application for their phones. If you are happy with the overall performance of the phone, stick to the current version. If you are not, upgrade to the latest version indicated by Kies and that should be it. Your choice really....
Cheers....

kies always shows you the latest firmware available for your device.. so dossent matters if you upgrade to this jh2 firmware or not.. in the future if they release the froyo firmware kies will show you a notification that a latest version of operating system is available...
now talking about you should or shouldnot upgrade to this firmware.....
as skiddhard said it depends on what you think of your current firmware.. but if kies shows you that an upgrade is available that means there might be some changes and improvement in the firmware that is released.. but it may or may not be usefull to you... firstly do you feel a major kind of lag in ur current firmware?? if yes then you should definitely go in for the firmware upgrade because the newer version of 2.1 upgrades are definitely faster than the previous once

Thanks Guys. I ended up updating it, i havent noticed any difference, so thats good in my books *phew* in the future, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

Hi, You can check it using Kies software which can be download from samsung website.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Just download it, install on your PC, open kies program and connect your tab using USB cable. It will auto check if there is any update.

[Q] Unroot to update? Galaxy Note

Hi Friends,
I see that the ICS Update will arrive sometime between may/june. i have a rooted Galaxy note using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i just wonder when the time comes do i have to unroot to update or can i just update.. im new at this android world so i would appreciate any help i can get, thanks

Dont worry, sure you will get update to ICS
But how you have to update this can mentioned only after release of ICS, And yes it take few hrs to know just after release of ICS, you need is to just stay tuned here.
Just remember i said above in term of keeping your root intact. If you dont want to keep root, just you can flash Stock ROM of your country anytime, N just update ICS over Kies whenever it release over Kies.

Hi,
I have similar question. Previously I had a KK5 rom before I gave my note to Samsung in warranty for screen replacement. They flashed XLA4 rom and CSC is also changed now to JPLA1. Now KIES says it cannot upgrade my ROM. My question is: is it still possible to receive OTA updates (including ICS when it is available). Please note that my phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance.

To get update with Kies/OTA
your device should have installed ROM from your region, as well CSC should also be same as your region
Check CSC with *#272*IMEI#
Remember, changing CSC will wipe off data.

Sorry to bother you again. using *#272*IMEI# shows JED (which is correct for Saudi Arabia). There are other options to choose from e.g. KSA (which I think is also for Saudi Arabia but I don't know). Do you think changing will solve the problem? And is there any other danger (other than wiping the data) with changing the CSC? Thanks again.

Nothing more thn data wipe happen after changing csc.
Your installed rom shud b same for your region as csc.
If your rom is older for region, kies will show msg, you have update. If your rom is latest for this region, kies will msg you have latest firmware.
In other condition kies won't recognise your rom n won't allow to update.

Sure, when updating to stock you will lose the root, so you dont need to worry about that...You can look around and there are ways to flashing to next version if you want to mantain the root, tools like mobile odin can help you with that..... but i do recommend you to take a look arround the forum, you like me probably end up using custom roms
