Hey guys,
I numerously tried updating my GT-I5800 to a 2.2 Froyo version but it didn't work. It kept hanging at the 'samsung' screen/logo and won't boot any futher, however, Odin said it was successfully flashed. After messing around a lot I downgraded back to the original firmware version. (I5800XWJG6, June 2010)
I tried these:
I5800XXJPQ
I5800XWJPF
I5800XXJPS
I5800XWJPK
All froyo 2.2 Europe, found at Samfirmware. (Can't post link yet.. I have to post at least eight times)
Is it just not possible to update for me to Froyo? Am I doing something wrong? I heard many others updated without any issues. I thought that the issue might be that I rooted my phone just before I updated the firmware but after resetting my phone it still doesn't work. Please don't link me to the post about updating an I5800, I know that post by heart.
Let me ask the question different: Are you a I5800 user and did you (successfully) flashed your 2.1 to 2.2? If yes, what version are you running?
Thank you very much,
F4

When froyo 2.2 is available for update would it have to be done through samsung kies or however its spelled? Or can i just use the phones updater to install 2.2 as well? i have read that we MUST use kies? ty and SO sorry if its wrong topic?

You asking if you can OTA the update when its officially released?
If your running a custom ROM and kernel than you can't OTA it. If your just rooted and are running the stock ROM I believe you can OTA it but it will make you lose root.
If your running a custom ROM, you might as well just flash a custom FroYo ROM thats based off the Official FroYo one when its released, we all know the Dev's here make things better.

If you are running a completely stock Epic with no modifications to the kernel/ROM etc., then you will receive an OTA notification when it is available. If not, you will have to wait until the new .tar comes out in order to flash it with Odin, or you can go back to complete stock to receive the OTA.
Ok thats all i needed to no ty all for the fast responses! YOUR THE BEST GUYS! and yea im all stock so ill be getting it ota dont no the release date yet but im looking forward to it this month (I HOPE! lol) anyway just wanted to say ty and keep up your good work guys i check back very often and see wats out and new ;P
Hi all,
The official Cellular South update is on Samsung's site now, but when I try to use Kies to update , it doesn't recognize the phone. This is obviously because I'm running EB11 pick n pack rom, but does anyone know how I can get back to the 2.1 factory stock? Or at least trick Kies into believing this is a 2.1 phone? Can I downgrade from EB11 to another 2.1 ROM? If it's not Cellular South's official build, will Kies recognize this?
Cheers.

Here, try one of these. You will be able to update with a couple of options.
Phidelt, my wife and I both have the CS Showcase. Mine is modded with your PnP 2.2 ROM, but hers is completely stock 2.1.
Is there anyway to 'copy' her build to mine to make it completely stock again and then do the official 2.2 CS Update?
Just wondering. Thanks!

Hello dev,
For those with Canadian version of 6210, can someone upload a rooted 6201XXLB2 rom? I I notice the 6210 version in the dev does not contain the XXLB2 rom.
Thanks.
Cheers everyone especially to the amazing dev
If anyone can help with this it would be really appreciated. Guess who upgraded to the ICS Rom, found out that my wifi was unworkable, and now had to load the "regular North American Retail Rom with the Peel app etc that I cant use

I don't think the XXLB2 is anywhere to be found around here. You might just have to stick with the XXLPL release until the XXLB2 is uploaded by someone or is released. I honestly don't know if its even released. I just looked for it and couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm in the same situation I search for the LB rom for P6210 but for LA3 just uninstall PEEL soft with titanium backup

Thank you very much anyway, The Canadian version P6210 has the XXLB2. which means it has been released. Will I have no problem with the XXLPL? I am satisfied with this rom but needs to change some few things. I am just being cautious if something happens.
I did a nandroid backup of the original unmodified LB2 in clockworkmod, before I started changing settings and installing apps.
You need to have garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" installed in order to restore this nandroid backup:
garyd9's "CWM-based Recovery v5.x.x.x" post
I notice someone posted a newer version of CWM v6 - from what I understand, the newer CWM version is not compatible with the v5 backups.
If anyone finds this useful please reply and let me know. I also need recommendation on upload sites which are easy to use (ie. no registration etc.) and won't kill the upload quickly.
Slim_thumb,
Sorry, I was out for quite some time. Thank you for posting the link. It helped me a lot. I presummed that you have tried some ICS, what could be the best ICS replacement to our XXLB2 for the moment while waiting for our upgrade turn?

Could you post you're backup for LB2 version!?

What is the big difference between XXLPL and XXLB2? I have XXLPN is it better to flash to XXLB2?

@ben_2g0
No I have not tried ICS (official or custom).
@scagnetwork
Check your PM (I don't want the upload link to be killed too soon by posting it open)
@terrandroid
LB2 is the HC firmware specific to the GT7+ sold in Canada. It is not ICS. We have not received the OTA ICS update yet.
XXXLB2 firmware
If anyone has the XXLB2 firmware, could you please post it up. I would like to go back to stock for when ICS is released. Thank you in advance.

Does anyone else with the Canadian LB2 P6210 get the message in KIES that this model's firmware cannot be updated through KIES?

Yep
But a quick flash of the latest ICS from SamFirmware.com via Odin soon fixed that problem.

Oh wait, but I thought the current ICS firmwares don't work for the LB2 Canadian version because of the wifi?
Did you backup your current HC firmware before flashing or did you just risk it?

The previous firmwares were problematic for me, but the US version that was released yesterday works perfectly....24hrs and counting >

CromDubh,
I followed the other thread of SrumerJohn in Adnroid Development and installed that ICS firmware. I am not happy about the performance of that firmware.
I am glad you find the latest US firmware satisfactory. Did you use the temporary CWM method to root this US firmware, followed by installing permanent CWM?
I did try the original UK ICS firmware but unfortunately not very extensively..(no wifi being a bit of a deal breaker for me)....but I'm pretty happy with North American version.
As for rooting, I used the same rooting method as was used for the older ICS without a problem. I didnt install permanent CWM, just the the temp, but I'm sure I'll end up with the permanent one when its time to start playing with JB

The ICS version is slightly faster and more fluid than HC in terms of screen transition and opening apps, but my biggest problem is the Flash video performance. Interestingly, I had no wifi problem with the UK ICS version (this problem must be router-related).
I have problem with Flash video playing in the browser in both firmware versions. Not all video sites are affected equally - eg. Youtube 1080p does not play smoothly (used to play smoothly in original HC); Vimeo HD completely stutters (used to play smoothly in original HC).
Adobe apparently stopped supporting Flash and it disappears from Google Play store. I tried several older versions of Flash 11 (and even 10) posted as .apk (eg. at apktop), but none of them work smoothly (some of them even force close the browser) - and yes I did get the correct ICS version of Flash player.
I use Dolphin browser, and I tried the Flash video with the stock browser but the result is the same. Therefore it has nothing to do with the browser.
I have since gone back to my original HC through nandroid backup.
P.S. I followed StrumerJohn's guide to flash permanent CWM onto the US ICS version, and it works. However, at your own risk always.

I think your going to need to use odin to flash to 4.0.4 because that firmware was a leaked build aka not supported. I can't find it right now but I think there was a one click odin for the final version(if you want to stay stock).

hello and thanks for the reply, i want to stay in stock version, mine is not even rooted, i just need to upgrade because that instagram issue is pissing me off, but i saw some people upgrading to 4.0.4 via Kies, so what's going on here?
oh by the way, is there a 4.0.4 official version for skyrocket? or it isn't out yet, because my friend just upgraded his atrix 2 to that version.
I have the official 4.0.4 version on my skyrocket.

The problem is you upgraded to a leaked release at some point. If you were on a official version you could have used Kies to upgrade to 4.0.4.
I think your best bet now is to flash I727UCLF6 with odin. that's the official version that Kies would put on your phone.
