I got the same message today at 5:05pm. Kies Mini shows the update available, but i am running Cognition 2.4.1.
Should i go back to 2.1 and try it? Or should i just assume that it's the normal update?

My Kies says that my phone is up to date. I would not rush and wait until there is real evidence.

Yup...seems like every other day this comes up.
All I can say is if your running the JH7 2.1 build..try it and see. If your running any custom rom..then it is most likely want you to update back to JH7 2.1 build.

This is not the Froyo update. Please stop making threads about it!

I got them also, assumed not 2.2 so I ignored them ;-)

AT&T has no idea what firmware you are using.

So anybody try it?

If you mean has anyone tried the update pushed by AT&T, then the answer is yes. It's just the latest 2.1 available from AT&T.

Froyo Released?

I know the last thing we need is another FROYO thread. But my question is, isnt the 2.1 Update1 the latest thing out for our phones? If so why did my phone say that their was an update. My phone downloaded it but then it said that the update wasn't saved. I think it wasn't saved due to me being rooted. So if I'm correct their is an update out there and what should I do to remove my root.

For hopefully the LAST time in 2010.
The txt message announcing an update is for JH7. If your phone is rooted, you will get the message from time to time.
Yea, it won't let me update to it. I guess I shouldn't update then lol. will the baseband version give away that i'm rooted to a samsung rep?

Update?

Decided to check for updates and there finally appeared to be one so I started the download & it took about 10mins or less then it asked to install so I hit ok then it said it would restart the phone. I was excitedfor about 10 seconds until I noticed everything was still the same and it said no update was applied at this time... Was this an official update n if so is there a way to apply it without having to wait on the 24hr update timer?

Sorry to say but I don't know much users here who use the stock 2.1 Eclair unless they are returning their phones. As much as I know, everyone here hates how Samsung and AT&T leave their customers out in the cold for updates and any information on upcoming updates. Maybe someone else here will give you an answer hopefully.

Go to your Settings/applications/all and clear cache for I believe is the dm app....them reboot and you should be able to check again.
Sorry I can't tell you exactly but I'm not running stock.

got it thanks. its re-downloading now. i figure its updating to the old Build Number ECLAIR.UCJH7 because since i reset a few days back, getting rid of a rom I noticed it just says Build Number: ECLAIR
and my baseband version is I897UCJF6. used to be ucjh7
You must have been excited, seeing how you posted to XDA that there's an update before you knew what was what...

Date at the top of that is 11/02/2011.
On a side note, the middle section where it says, "If you have downloaded & upgraded previously with Kies Mini, an automatic update to build 11011_4 may occur." I just started Mini Kies and it updated to 11014_6 so maybe there is something to it.
For some reason, link is not showing any information. Any idea?

Someone at Samsung realized people were getting excited again, and the update isn't coming out anytime soon. Just a guess though.

Man...
Still failed install after the download over the air. so i did it through kies mini and it was .ucjh7
I wouldnt have gotten so excited if i paid attention to my notes that i had ucjh7 pre-flash and just "eclair" post factory default reset. Yet somehow still had a glimmer of hope that 2.2 would update after ucjh7, assuming one has to be installed b4 the other/in order. Sort of annoying the link was taken down about the Q/A on 2.2 being available. I just clicked the circle to vote "very dissatisfied" hah
Im still planning to trade mine in for the atrix if its in store by 3/9.. If not, I havent quite decided what other path I will take...

they said they were testing it before it launched ..... glad to hear tho
Soon could mean 3 months. That's why they said soon instead of next month. Not trying to argue or sound like a know it all, I just wouldn't get my hopes up. That's all

I can haz gingerzbred!?
What does that mean to us who rooted our phones? Do I have to unroot, or could I just do the update when it comes?
Or will we all have to do a factory reset, update, reroot?

I tried check for updates, and got authentication error so it may be due to rooting. I figure Cyanogen will have Gingerbread before TMo does.

You get that error even if you are not rooted. Think the server's just not set up to talk to the G2x (nothing to update, so it doesn't let you in)

I get the authentication error on my un-rooted G2x, so something else is going on here.

I wish someone knew.
I wonder if it will be fresh "bread" vs the hidden bloat wares that cause some of our battery drains. Also if cm7 is coming out wonder if we should wait on that vs the T-Mobile gingerbread they got coming.
Tmobile is testing the bloadwares on Gingerbread.

New mini Kies (1.0.0.11051_4)

Just found this this a.m. Might mean 2.3.3 is rolling out soon.

No... wait for the Facebook update like last time lol. If it is anything else, it could be 2.2 update 1 (throwing out numbers) that has the Unknown Sources option for 2.2. ATT announced after Amazon App Store came out that they were going to fix that for all phones.
Or... it could just be a needed update for Kies

Hmm. I believe you. I usually fire up mini first thing in the morning and this is the first time it updated (to this version).
Is there another source for the mini Kies other than having it look for updates when first loaded?
I believe this update came out two days ago and its just android 2.2 still, not 2.3. I tested it right before updating to the leaked gingerbread.
Hmmmm... Still nothing updating on my laptop. Still on 11001_4. I also would be interested in a direct download link.

Opened Kies and it updated itself to x51_4. When i plugged my phone in, it said, "firmware version: unsupported device" I'm running the stock Froyo release.
does the new version of kies work with Infuse 4G?

How do you get official OS upgrades on Rogers. new to SkyRocket.

I just got the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket last week. And now that ICS is starting to roll out how will Rogers release it to the phones. Is it OTA (over the air)?
I'm coming from an X10 and it had something called PC companion (a program installed on your PC) that came with it which would notify you of a OS upgrade.
Its not an official OTA release. It's been leaked add is available on the forums. Since you're with Rogers you'll have to use Clockwork Mod to install it. Are you familiar with that?

I meant, when the official release (from Rogers) comes out. Will Rogers push it OTA? How do we get noitifed of the official release?
Thanks
Yeah.

In the past it's been via the Kies software - not sure if they're moving to OTA or not. They'll announce it, lol as the poster above said... lucky to see it by Christmas
no, rogers will not have OTA, as you can see there is no OTA option to update and all future updates will be done through kies
i know because i called for this exact purpose and both samsung and rogers told me the same thing
Okay so I have to plug my phone and check KiesAir everyday or will I get some kind of notification telling me an update is readY?

LOL - Christmas is an exaggeration but Rogers/Samsung are notoriously slow. On my Captivate I had Froyo about 2 months before official Rogers (and at that time I believe GB was already out) and I had GB for at least 4, if not 6 months before Rogers. A couple months after official Rogers GB I already had ICS running on it.
Consider how long ICS has been out... We're JUST getting a leak, and an AT&T one at that.
