Well just want to know to know about dis..
Coz i still had not the kies updte in my country..
Jehe..thnx..
Devs Kip rockin us..haha
I doesn't matter whether Kies give you a new update or not, You just flash the newer version using Odin.
Practically, I'm from India and Kies didn't give me update for my Galaxy Ace more than 2.2.1 (Froyo).
But i myself am running BlackHawk (2.3 Gingerbread Based ROM) and had no problems off it till now.
Yes, you don't need to rely on Kies (in fact, with auto-sync with Google and other services, I don't need Kies at all).
Here in Brazil there's no update from Kies too, it's 2.2.1. Just flash a new Rom with Odin and you will be fine.
Thnx on replies..
Im kinda doubt flashing firmware..
Hehe..i had read them..and all has its advantages..
Which kinda conflict..
Btw thanks again..i thought there were dev 4 2.2.1

Hello everyone. This thread will be the conclusion for my posts here about upgrading my SG Ace android phone to Gingerbread. I'm on Android Froyo 2.2.1 (S5830DXKC1) now and planning to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.3 KPN. I already have the "one-package" file for this update from samfirmware site. I also have Odin, cooper and everything needed for the update. And also I already know how to flash.
Questions:
1. Which is more safe/suitable to use, upgrading using "one-package" file or using "full-package" file?
2. Some says, I must upgrade 2.3.3 using "full-package" first (like KPE) before I flash KPN using "one-package" file. Based on them, flashing "one-package" file with different platform (like 2.2.1 to 2.3.3) will be not successful. Is this true?? I need your confirmation.
Hope to clear this up on my mind. I'm really craving to update my phone. Thanks alot! hope to hear from you guys asap! Godbless!
Ya dude thats right but not neccesary to use first 2.3.3 full package first. You can use any fullpackage. I use 2.3.4 full packge first then flash one package 2.3.3 if you directly flash that then you phase bootlooping.
hey guys i have samsung galaxy S vibrant t mobile i use it in india. its froyo running in it. i want to update my phone to the latest firmware which is gingerbread i guess. but whenever i try to open samsung kies.. its shows some kies.exe error
Applicatin has generated an unexception that could not be handled

DO NOT USE SAMSUNG KIES!!!!!
ROOT the phone and flash a custom ROM from the Development section. Read the "Vibrant Bible" first and google things such as "how to root samsung vibrant" and "How to flash a rom samsung vibrant". Its not difficult and its your best option IMO.
Good luck!
^ If you want a more stock 2.2 experience then go and check out Whitehawkx's Stock Froyo ROM found here.
hey thanks for the reply. my phone is already rooted but not flashed now the main issue is wich custom rom should i search for? once my phone is flashed how would i b able t update my phone to gingerbread????
there is no Official Gingerbread update from Samsung, goto the development sub forum and choose a 2.3 rom that works for you. personally i recommend CM7/Miui but if you want Touchwiz then go with something like simple honey.
The best gingerbread based custom rom (in my opinion) is miui. Although it's no where near stock gingerbread in means of the UI, it's an amazing and truly custom ROM.
Look in my signature for my guide on flashing this ROM with ease. Best of luck and pm me if you need any help.

I have a friend that has given me the samsung vibrant tmobile for upgrade.
i dont want to root the phone, but want to use odin to upgrade to the latest out there
can someone point to the best latest gingerbread or whatever rom that is flashble with odin
Thanks
I only know for sure about the JFD file. There have been postings about a leaked Gingerbread rom, often in the context of people bricking their phone with it.
Whichever is stable I will use Odin to flash. If not gingerbread than froyo will do. Which is latest stable.

There is no gingerbread update for vibrant. Use kies to flash froyo. But I highly recommend rooting your phone and flashing ics.
I did a little research, and you can find out about some stock roms by entering t959uv in a search and looking at the suggestions, such as ka7, kb5.
+1 on the ICS suggestion. Any stock rom will have Carrier IQ and who knows what else hidden in it.
Hi everybody .. need some explanation about OTA update for rooted SGS2 now I heard 4.0.4 is beeing available for Russian and English users ..
1) first OTA update is what we do when we make a sotftware update in "about the phone" menu ?? However "manual update" stands for update via kies am I wright?
2) I know that updating a stock ''rooted'' firware is not possible via kies .. Is it possible via OTA ??
3) For rooted AND modem modified stock ICS is OTA update possible?
(( Im on LPG stock with syiah 3.4 kernel and XXKI4 modem (has better network reception than XXLPX original modem in my region)))
PS: I have looked all the afternoon for this in other forums and looked for "OTA , rooted" in XDA before i post so hope nobody tells me i'm a lazy stupid
THANKS for helping guys
forgot this...
4) Does anybody know wich nordic firmware is beeing updated to 4.0.4 ?? LPG or LPD or other one?
More than 100 views and no reply ,though it is a yes or no question ! So I guess not too many people have the answer i'm not the only noob here
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
Hiii ! looks like nobody knows the answer !!! I posted in several other forums but it looked like i was talking japaneese :crying:
If you're trying to update to ics, go to www.sammobile.com, download the firmware you want and flash through odin. i've heard a lot of people having trouble with OTA updates recently
Thanks man ,, yes I have seen some aborted OTA updates for no reason in some forums too .. I thought that came from root or modified modem or something like that and I posted here to get sure .
On the other hand flashing the leaked ROMs may lead to hard brick cause i ve got the EMMC bug
So I think Im going to wait for other 4.0.4 without brick risk !! Or why not a JB update (for god sake samsung or this will be my last corean device ever :crying

Have you thought about rooting your device and trying JB now? RootBox has a really good version of it, and its relatively stable

I'm root already ,, I was waiting for stable versions now you told me this I will test it .. And i mean only test cause I never found as usefull as touchwizz interface in stock ! I have hundred apps and need folders to get them sorted otherwise I will get lost ! SGS3 Touchwizz proposed on most recent roms has a little lag in unlimited scroll ! Other launchers don't give a good alternative :crying: I don't know why all people hate TW so much ! this haterness looks like a contagious disease ...
Hello hello!
Okay so i may have what seems like a Noob question....I sware im not a total noob, been hacking and slashing away at android for a few years now but i just want to make sure im getting what i want outta my device!
Also so sorry if this has been posted else where- i could only find related info for the N7000...
Okay so i have the Galaxy Note AT&T version- currently running on straight talk to i dont get OTA updates, it always says upto date even when Kies says there is new software.- any ways i was reading online that that Android 4.0.4 is now out for the Note and sure enough Kies has the update for me. My question is though- i am kinda behind on my updates and am still running GB- during m readings i saw that Samsung released previously ICS 4.0 Premium Suite with a bunch of cool stuff including 30 levels of Angry Birds!!! (omg love them birds)- now im questions is when i try to update through Kies it is automatically updating from GB to ICS 4.0.4- am i getting all the premium suite stuff with that 4.0.4 update? Or does any one know where to get the premium suite rom so i can flash that with odin first and then up date to 4.0.4 throuh kies?
Thanks a million!:victory:

Yes, 4.0.4 is just a maintenance update from 4.0 so you will still have all the 4.0 goodies.

Okay.... i didnt seem to get any of them, or any of the new stuff like s cloud...
You won't get s-cloud and my story needs to be downloaded from Samsung apps other than that it's just some minor tweaks to the existing apps.
