Got several reports coming in from Samsung Galaxy S i9000 users in the Philippines that they’ve gotten the Android 2.2 Froyo update already.
So I took the Galaxy S out of storage and tried out the update using Samsung Kies.
Had a hard time updating the handset as Kies doesn’t seem to be able to detect the unit. After a couple of hours or trying and re-trying, the update notification popped up and says firmware is ready for upgrade.
A few more minutes of back-up and downloading the updates, the Galaxy S is now running on Android Froyo 2.2. So far, everything’s running fine.
You can download Samsung Kies here.
You already did a factory reset after you upgrade? This solved my problems after my froyo 2.2 upgrade. Best solution after every FW update, though this erases your settings and apps

Also you may want to try the 2.2.1, its fast even without root+lagfix! I followed this link to get the official update via Kies only available at UK.

Good day, people!
I bought my SGS sa Dubai 3 days ago. Tapos ngayon I decided to upgrade to Froyo using Kies. The process went smooth-sailing. But as of the moment, everytime I turn on my unit. It just gets stuck to the “S” logo. Similar to what blaze has experienced — though as what he stated he just brought his unit to Samsung GH and they fixed it for him.
Are there any process so that I can fix my phone. The home+volume+power button doesn’t do the trick for me. I’ve been trying to fix this damn thing for 3 hours already.
Any if ever I fail to find any fixes, would the Samsung Centers here in the Phils. glady fix my phone for me?
Thank you guys and may we all have an awesome New Year!
bakit until now wala pa rin yung samsung focus at samsung omnia 7. sana dumating na para magmura na sgs. hehe

does upgrading needs internet? I hope no .
did you lose the marketplace app when you updated to froyo 2.2? I’ve read many postings of this happening
Hi jessjr,
In your 2nd link, what’s the spoof code/ backup for UK? Did you update your phone to 2.2.1 using that method? And if you did, may I ask what spoof code/ backup did you use?

@resh,
I did not lose the marketplace app. Mine is Froyo 2.2 at the moment. I just updated it naturally via Kies (rev. 102).

Hi,
Just to update you guys, I followed the instructions in the 2nd link of jessjr. I successfully updated my phone to 2.2.1 by loading the kies backup XEU and updating it. My apps and my files weren’t deleted after updating (this is my case though). Hopefully, I will just download next available updates On-the-air in the Settings > About phone > Software update. Cheers!

@Daniel
Did you get to fix your problem?
I bought mine from Dubai as well, and I wanna upgrade to froyo but your post made me hesitate.
Although I already did a hard restart as when I first got it, it didn’t have the Android Marketplace. The hard restart and some settings changed made it appear.
Skype doesn’t run on 2.1 so need to get to 2.2 to be able to run skype.
Good news! SGS updates being rolled out now worldwide. Though no news yet for Asia

Sir Abe, I’ve been trying to update my SGS to Froyo… but I keep getting the error “Failed to convert to upgrade mode. Try again later.” What could I be doing wrong? I’m using the latest 2.0 Samsung Kies.
