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.

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?

did you lose the marketplace app when you updated to froyo 2.2? I’ve read many postings of this happening

NemOry · 15 years ago

does upgrading needs internet? I hope no .

ettenoj · 15 years ago

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! :)

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.

Installed Froyo on my SGS few weeks back then i encountered a problem in connecting to my home WIFI.

I keep on seeing this error message (Disabled, Secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK” in WI-FI settings.

Googled my problem but i haven’t found a fix yet. :(

just installed Voodoo stable 5.0.1 (http://project-voodoo.org/) and seems to be performing much better than the stock Froyo.

Quadrant Score = 1653

Just want to know, pag nag-upgrade ba ako to froyo, mawawala lahat ng current files, messages, and apps ko?

Khayyin Summers · 15 years ago

Hi guys. How was it? Excited na talaga ako sa Froyo… Currently charging my phone before the update…

manongnongal · 15 years ago

froyo! yey!

allan · 15 years ago

i heard that samsung will be the one to make nexus 2, not htc. it will be based on the galaxy s’ design & it will have android 2.3 (gingerbread). that would be great for samsung. now, have to decide. to get a galaxy s now or wait for nexus 2 next year.

Tricked Kies into thinking I had the JF4 CSC with this tool:

@Ralph

My SGS came from SG i tried to upgrade it before using kies to no avail.. I used ODIN to upgrade my SGS then Kies for the Official Update.. Now im running official Froyo

Ralph · 15 years ago

@lolipown: yup. I contacted them already. Will bring my unit to Greenhills sometime this week…

@Ralph
use the Service Center locator

Ralph · 15 years ago

Mukhang ganun na nga Migs.

Sana lang kaya ng Samsung Service Center dito sa Manila.

bart · 15 years ago

my phone runs on jg4/jg4/jg4 yet is says version can’t be upgraded…help…i got my phone from globe..

migz · 15 years ago

@Ralph

Seems like your SGS is from SG. You only have 2 options:
1) Bring it to a Samsung Service Center and have them flash Froyo for you.
2) Use Odin and flash JG4 w/ pit first then JPA.

Ralph · 15 years ago

I think I got this figured out.

Apparently, the Galaxy S I got from Globe belongs to an early batch of Samsung Singapore units that shipped with a specific bug. READ: Froyo upgrade impossible via Kies. Looks like I might have to flash my phone to upgrade.

MAJOR. BUMMER.

Talk about the downside of being an early adopter.

P.S.

My next Android will not be a Samsung. Let it be known.

Ralph · 15 years ago

Still no luck.

As mentioned, the only difference I noticed is that my current CSC at Android 2.1 is OLB, as opposed to JF4.

PDA: JFA4 / PHONE: JF4 / CSC: OLB

Anyone has any thoughts on this? I tried the procedure to change this in the link shared by Ferdie, but it doesn’t work.

I filed a case with Globe as well, and was directed to Samsung.

migz · 15 years ago

just upgraded to Froyo. it seems that eclair + voodoo lag fix had better performance. does anyone know which lag fix works well with the I9000DXJPA build?

tried to install the voodoo 5 pre 6 for Froyo and it almost bricked my phone. used odin to install the stock 2.2 PDA to fix it again.

phonebuzz · 15 years ago

i flashed mine last night guys. Kies wasn’t detecting my phone, what i did was uninstall and download the latest version of Kies. After doing that, Kies detected my fone and boom, I have froyo now!

Ferdie · 15 years ago

@blaze

Most likely, your phone will get stuck booting at the “glowing S logo”. This is normal – it is because your phone has a mixture of the old and new firmware data.

To fix this, you need to Clear Data by accessing the Recovery Menu:

– Shutdown your phone and unplug it from the power or USB.
– Boot into Recovery Mode: Press and hold Volume-Up + Home + Power. You have to let go of the power button after about 3 seconds once you see the “Galaxy S” screen.

If you are successful, you will see the Recovery Menu.
Choose “Wipe Data / Factory Reset”.
Reboot after it’s done.

worked for me

blaze · 15 years ago

did the upgrade…now my phone wont open the homescreen,,will show just the galaxy s logo then lights out,,,help!!!

blitzkrieg · 15 years ago

samsung kies is really a pain in the neck. if you want to spare yourselves from frustrations with getting your device to connect, do a hard reset of the phone. you can make a backup of your data with the older version of kies.

during the upgrade, downloading the binary files from the server takes sometime so you need to be on a high speed internet connection. be patient.

when you see the android with a shovel icon on your phone screen, it’s a relief. in a few moments froyo is yours to enjoy.

Got this upgrade for my GF Galaxy S last night, her unit was an opened line unit from Globe. So Far so Good! =)

@jasetiojanco & @dan
root and install cyanogen 6.1 alpha (yes it’s still in alpha) but it’s very stable :). It’ll install froyo and a host of other apps (which you can strip to bare minimum of course) and community made patches.

pusit · 15 years ago

bakit ang bagal bagal ng download sa kies, 15 hours na, wala pang 50%. mabilis naman ang internet namin.kaya cancel ko muna at baka ma-absent pa ako today… :(

TwIsTeD_Rubz · 15 years ago

No prob! I hope you get yours soon!

Ralph · 15 years ago

Cool. Thanks!

TwIsTeD_Rubz · 15 years ago

I got mine from an authorized Samsung products dealer, open line. No SingTel branding for my phone.

Ralph · 15 years ago

@yuga, TwIsTeD_Rubz: where’d you get your Galaxy S? From Globe? Does it have the SingTel branding?

TwIsTeD_Rubz · 15 years ago

Works great so far! Mababaw, I know, but I like the part where pinching on the home screens shows all 7 home screens, similar to the HTC UI. I really feel like my phone is faster now. Definitely worth the wait!

blaze · 15 years ago

good news….rooted my galaxy s using z4 and installed lag fix….do i have to unroot it before doing the upgrade…??? excited ,will be trying it out tomorrow…if it is true…good job samsung!!
