Hey guys.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 Black
and I realized it could be updated with the latest android firmware (Currently 2.2.1 (Froyo)) and wanted to update to 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
When I want to update it through Kies (Latest version) it says "This version of the device cannot be updated"
PDA: KB3 / PHONE: KB3 / CSC: KB3 (CHE)
BTW Im from Chile
How can I update it? =/
You can get 2.3.4 GB from samfirmware site and flash it with odin tool.
Thats the problem.
I don't wanna do that way.
I want the official one.
I know they are official but, I heard some problems with 3G and other stuff... so i rather get official so If it has any problem I can complain and not lose warranty
I was wondering why I can't update it?
you must wait for an official release for your zone/yuor customer.
keep checking with KIES .
Keep in mind when you check your phone for an official update your phone must be unrooted

There was many problems with 2.1 version of android on our phones i think. Anyway search on google for a website called sammobile. Then you sign up to that and find the firmware for your phone which is i5800. Then make sure you use a Romanian firmware, which i think should be the European firmware.

Hi
I have Samsung galaxy Apollo I5800 brought from Carphone warehouse U.K. last year. Its a Unlock phone. I want to downgrade to eclair (2.1 update1)
below is Phone info i want to restore it to based upon research i have done.
Firmware Version 2.1-Update 1
baseband version I5800XXJG3
kernel Version 2.6.29
[email protected] 32
build No
ECLAIR.XXJG7
PDA:JG7 /PHONE:JG3/CSC:JG5(XEU)
current firmware version: PDA:JG7 /PHONE:JG3/CSC:JG5(XEU)
latest firmware version: PDA:JG7 /PHONE:JG3/CSC:JG5(XEU)
trouble being i can only find the eclair.xxjg6. do anyone know where i can find xxjg7 as it is not on sammobile.com
As far as im aware, all the firmware on samfirmware is "official" release from samsung. flashing any eclair firmware should do the trick, just make sure its for your region. or as said just flash a froyo firmware with odin. kies isnt brilliant anyway. when i had eclair and before id modded my phone at all i searched for updates and it told me i was updated. despite froyo being out for a year!
problem with samfirmware is most of it does not work with kies. the ones that do are for france spain slovenia and italy
Just flash it via Odin.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA
if i install a spanish kies working version will that work in UK as it is still a EU version?

I bought the SGS2 rooted from Hungary and when I connected it to KIES it still recognised the software as official and when I went to my home country Malta it managed to upgrade to ICS. Since that time I flashed other roms and never went back to samsung official roms (unless they are not modified).
The other thing you should think of is you can always revert back to the official GB if something goes wrong. Just be sure that you can download the official firmware for your country so that you will have it when you need it back.
Good luck with your flashing If you need something do not hesitate to ask, I will do my best to help
Hello everyone,
I live in the UK and got my Note 10.1 Wi-Fi N8000 for last Christmas from my brother who worked in South Korea. Everything was in Korean and I switched it all in English and everything works fine.
The thing that bugs me right now is that I would like to upgrade to Jelly Bean but nothing new is detected when I hit the Software Update button... Do you have any idea why?
Is it simply not available for me yet and should I just wait more? That would surprise me as I noticed that JB has already been deployed in many countries now, and 4.1.2 update seems to be on the way...
Or more likely in my opinion, does it have anything to do with my tablet coming from South Korea?
In any case, what should I do to get Jelly Bean?
For now, my Note is working under the original ICS 4.0.4, and is not rooted. I am ok with rooting my Note if need be but if possible, I'd prefer not to use Kies...
Thanks for your help!
root and update with odin to get the latest 4.1.2 check the step by step guides first though so you know what you are doing.

you can't update OTA because the firmware that you are using is of South Korea.. so the only way to get JB is to flash it... and don't worry everyone here don't use kies... we use ODIN...
what you shoud do first is download these necessary files:
1. Odin - the flashing tool
2. the firmware you wan't to flash
optional:
3. root
4. custom recovery..

Thanks very much!
I would have a few more (newbie) questions still:
- Once I flash a new ROM, will I be able to get OTA updates or will it be never possible?
And actually I don't understand why using a South Korean firmware prevents me from updating OTA... How do the South Korean do then, they can't update OTA? If I got a South Korean IP by connecting to a South Korean VPN for example, would OTA updates work? Or am I totally wrong? :silly:
- About choosing the new ROM (I'll stick with the official ones for now), does the country matter or can I choose whatever I fancy? (I live in the UK right now but I'm from France so I don't know if I should choose one version over the other)
- And one last but not least thing: as my Note is from Korea, my device model is actually SHW-M480W and is not like N80XX.
As it is Wi-Fi only, it should correspond to N8010 but are you sure that flashing a N8010 firmware will actually work?

Well, i bought my phone here in the Philippines. Also i came across a thailand firmware while searching and it matches mine, but the link is not available anymore.
So if you can find/give a stock firmware for me it will really help me a lot.
p.s. i cant post links yet so google "s7500dxlb1" and view the one that says "S7500DXLB1 Android 2.3.6 Thailand Firmware Download" to see the link im talking about.

Don't be worry.
I live in Taiwan but I can flash even German version( I've tried before)
This firmware is the latest. I think your version is older one. Samsung released several version to make it stable, so the latest version is the stablest version and it will also add some new features.
Actually, all S7500 firmware is suitable but you have to notice that your area.
Because I found I flash German 2.3.6 stock firmware and I cannot have stock Chinese keyboard in it.
Flash your country version is the best choice.
p.s. if you flash from a custom rom, don't forget to back up data you want and do factory reset. it will make your S7500 work like a new phone
thanks a lot
