I have and unlocked Galaxy S that was previously on Orange.I now an o2 sim installed but Kies will not let me update to Froyo?
Any suggestions?
wrong section possibly?
try putting this under the captivate forum or device specific. it will bring a crowd that will be better apt to answer you,
update without kies
I think you should update without kies. There are so many custom rom here in this forum and tutorial on how to update/upgrade using Odin.

sorry guys for the noobness, im new here,
i just got my samsung galaxy s2 today, and would like to take the telstra carrier software off the phone? how do i do this? any info greatly appreciated, oh btw loving the phone
hellooooooo? any1? i thought this site was suppost to be supportive
you can but you have to flash your firmware with something new and not subjected to telstra, look up gingerbread updates for s2 in this forum and use odin
also reading that "SuperOneClick" may be able to root SG2 now, if you get root you can delete using "root explorer"
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII LTE HD, and I know this is going to sound fairly of noob-ish, but I'm new to Android.
I have two questions.
1. I'm with Bell Mobility and the release date for ICS was supposed to be this month, and I've been plugging and unplugging my phone into the computer like a madwoman, and Kies is still saying that my 2.3.6. is the latest firmware. Am I having a problem with Kies?
2. I'd prefer not to wait for ICS any longer than I already have, is there anyone who can help me with a guide to flashing a custom ROM and acquiring ICS that way?
I apologize if my question has been already responded (although I've searched the forum) but I would like to know the steps to root my Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4g. Currently, I have updated its OS version to 4.0.4 via Kies.
I only have a macbook air (not PC) and I heard about heimdall software.
Does anybody have steps how to root my phone using heimdall (or any other mac software for the rooting purpose)?
Is there any thread on this forum explaining it?
I consider myself as a beginner in rooting phones so any tip would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi
I am new to the Forums and have looked through the threads for Samsung GT-i5800 and unrooting/firmware, etc. But I cannot find any current links to update the firmware on my Samsung GT-i5800 to Froyo or anything higher then eclair.
Sorry for posting in the wrong place, if I am, I have tried to post in the relevant threads but cannot.
Are there any current downloads links I can use to update the firmware? every one I have tried asks me to download iLivid Player which I have already done.
Should I just give up and buy a more recent android phone from ebay?
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried upgrading it with samsung kies?
Is your mobile rooted and do you want to unroot it (as you said that you looked for unrooting/firmware)?
Anyway if you have nor rooted your mobile and you want to upgrade it officially to higher version firmware, download samsung kies from here:
http://www.samsung.com/in/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
Connect your mobile via USB to your PC and start kies. If there are any official releases for your mobile kies will notify you about it.
Backup all your data before upgrading.
For any unofficial upgrade, root etc check this link below

So my dad and I both have the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Skyrocket from Rogers; I727R. A couple days ago I updated mine via Kies from Gingerbread 2.3.5 to Jellybean 4.1.2. Today I tried updating his (also GB 2.3.5), but once I connect his device, Kies says it already has the latest firmware.
Is there a way around this? I explained my situation to Samsung Support over the phone and the representative's suggestion was that "even if someone had the exact same phone model and carrier, the update could be rolled out at different times." And I was advised to just wait. Hasn't Jellybean been out for a few months now?
I tried a hard reset on his phone and it still didn't offer any firmware updates. Can anyone help? Thanks.
If Kies does not work for you, read the stickies. In them you will find all the directions to use Odin to update your Dad's phone. You will also find in there all the files you need to do it. Good luck!
