Samsung Galaxy S gets Froyo Android 2.2

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. :(

Good news! SGS updates being rolled out now worldwide. Though no news yet for Asia :(

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!

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?

Vince

does upgrading needs internet? I hope no .

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! :)

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. :(

It’s time to update!

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

froyo! yey!

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

FROYOOOOOOOOO at last!

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

Marvin Samsung wave runs on Bada OS not Android.

@Ralph
use the Service Center locator

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

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.

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.

@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

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.

If u still experiencing problem upgrading to 2.2 then u might consider flashing using odin chech samfirmware.com u can upgrade to european version or asian

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

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… :(

Cool. Thanks!

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

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!!

yey! finally! :D

@jasetiojanco

I second that motion.
