How to update Samsung Galaxy S to Android 2.2 Froyo via Kies [Anywhere in the world]

in Android, How To's, Mobile

Samsung has officially announced the availability of a new Android 2.2 Froyo upgrade, which started to roll out via Kies in the Nordic region. If you’re based from any other country over the world and want to upgrade your Galaxy S (GT-I9000) to Android 2.2 Froyo update, then check the below tutorial to accomplish this task.

How to upgrade Galaxy S to Android 2.2 Froyo update

Firstly, make sure to backup all the important data present on your device.

Download Samsung Kies version 1.5.1.10074_45 or something that is not the latest, you will need to uninstall the latest then install this one.

1. Connect your phone and open Samsung Kies and let your phone be detected as usual.

2. Keep Kies open, minimize it and run Regedit in windows.

3. Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\

4. You should see some folders, named 1,2,3, etc in that folder, look for the one that mentions your current firmware, IMEI number, etc.

5. Once you find the correct folder (only one folder mentions this information), you need to modify 3 strings by simply double-clicking on them.

6. Locate the following 3 entries and change their value to the ones shown below. (You may first like to backup their value data to a notepad file).

SoftwareRevision = I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3

ProductCode = GT-I9000HKDXEE

HIDSWVER = I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3

Now close the Registry editor and do a Refresh. So, while Kies is minimized and still open and connected to your phone, you have changed these 3 strings.

7. Click on the ‘Firmware Upgrade’ button in Kies, and you should now see Kies saying there is one upgrade for JP6. Now, wait and let the upgrade process complete.

Note – The above procedure is said to be working perfectly but try it at your own risk. Also, flashing will result in losing the root if you were rooted.

    What exactly are we changing in the registry? Are we changing our region to Nordic to trick the system to make the update?

    Will this create problems in future ?

      You are changing the Product Code to the one for which Update is available officially. You are not likely to face problem with this trick. Go ahead if you want to update via KIES only else Moddem ROMs are always better than this.

    I did the things you said just right but Kies didn`t see the jm6 to be the update,only pda:jm2/phone:jm1…so no jm6 🙁 I updated it anyway,it was froyo alright,but the phone didn`t work( the android process didn`t start ,nor the twlauncher),so i upgraded again to another buggy jm2 that i already had on my pc. I`m from Romania if it helps.Any advice? Thanks in advance!

      Samsung has now pulled the JM6/JP6 update from its servers coz it had some issues. Just wait till November to get the official update, check this post: http://webtrickz.com/android-2-2-upgrade-for-samsung-galaxy-s-announced/

    In the ‘How to Upgrade Galaxy S to Android 2.2 Froyo update’, please help me understand what you mean by “Now close the Registry editor and do a Refresh”. I’m not as tech savvy as some of you and will appreciate pointing me to what to REFRESH or where to find what to REFRESH.

    Reply
    • Mayur says:

      That simply means, close the registry editor window. You can Refresh by clicking right-click mouse button on your desktop and then select refresh.

    I’ve a 3 month old SGS which i had updated to 2.1.1 Eclair. Couple of days back think I did terribly wrong.
    I tried to get Froyo using the below mentioned (I am from India, Asia) registry hack method given on this page….

    I didn’t get Android 2.2, and i did note my initial settings…another mistake there::

    After so-called firmware update my phone have PDA:JM2 / PHONE: JM1
    Android 2.1 – update1
    kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
    build number: ECLAIR.XWJM2

    and whan I try to update via Kies (old or newest version) I get the same msg:
    “This device’s version cannot be updated”.

    Will I still be able to update to Android 2.2 through Kies, when available in my country ??
    It seems the Phone has lost the “Root” as i tried to upgrade the phone using the registry hack method. Hence Kies says this device’s version cannot be updated. Have spent hours looking for a solution online but no luck….pls let me know if you found any solution to this problem and u were able to upgrade to Froyo…..
    a quick revert would be very much appreciated…

      If you want to update via KIES, just go back to official DDJG4 firmware via Odin. You can get Odin, and the DDJG4 package from samfirmware.

        Kalpik…thanks for your response. As I mentioned earlier I did the mistake of not noting the initial settings i.e. the Baseband, Kernal and Build…. I got my phone from HK grey mrkt which was to be shipped to Germany… I’m assuming this coz when I first switched on my phone…it started with German and I do remember 100% that the Product Code was GT-I9000HKDDBT!!!

        A quick response would be great…

    Thanks Mayur. That’s reassuring. Given the scenario I am in right now, I have one more query….when Samsung finally manages to release Froyo on India, I am assuming that it would be available with their authorised service centers as well. In that case, will they be able to upgrade my phone to Froyo with the exclusive tools available to them???

    oh goodness….I did save my original stock f/w information on a notepad and forgot about it….here is what below…

    build number ÉCLAIR.I9000XXJM1

    Mayur and Kalpik….can you guys now help me out????

      Is your phone not working fine, what issues you’re having? I advice you to wait for official Froyo update to be released in India for Galaxy S.

      My phone is working perfectly fine. The only I had was i was getting a “this device’s version cannot be updated” when I try to update f/w using Kies…thats all. Earlier…before reg hack update to JM2 i was getting a “You already have the Latest Version” msg….how can I get Kies to give me an option to Upgrade once Froyo is rolled out in India?
      I’m currently on ….
      PDA:JM2 / PHONE: JM1
      Android 2.1 – update1
      kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
      build number: ECLAIR.XWJM2
      GT-I9000HKDDBT

      Before reg hack update i was on
      baseband version I9000XWJM1
      Android 2.1 – update1
      kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected]
      build number ÉCLAIR.I9000XXJM1
      GT-I9000HKDDBT

      Since Kies says it cannot update my Phone’s F/W when Froyo is rolled out in India, the Service Center guys will be able to upgrade my phone to Froyo with the exclusive tools available to them???

      If not, how is that i can do it….ODIN? as mentioned by Kalpik? I checked that one… it mentions “Flashing way I9000XWJPO: First I9000XWJM8 with RE-Partition and 512.pit. Than I9000XWJPO without RE-Partion use 803.pit”

      That means i have to first flash mine to XWJM8 first and then flash it to XWJPO??? Or i can directly flash to XWJPO? Mine is German product code GT-I9000HKDDBT…

      Will highly appreciate your suggestions….thank you

        Like I said earlier, flash to DDJG4.. That’s the latest Official firmware available in India.. Once you’re on that, you should get updated to froyo once it is released in India via KIES.

          I downloaded Odin 1.0, the firmwares you’ve mentioned in .zip format. While i open the zip files it asked for a password, i gave samsung-firmwares.com and tried samfirmware.com as well but both dont work…..what to do?

    I tried to avoid, like many others, the terrible vodafone bloatware situation by updating to JM2 via odin, but now the official Vodafone UK release is out and confirmed to have no bloatware, how can i upgrade to it?

    I connect my phone to the most recent Kies and it says “This device’s version cannot be updated” and when trying the registry hack the older version of Kies says my handset is not supported?!

    Please give me some good news and say this is possible!

    Thanks

    Kalpik, following your advice i have now flashed to DDJG4. Rather, i got this done with Samsung Service Center as i had flashed to JM8>XWJPA but GPRS/APN did not work even with correct settings. Same case with XFJP7 as well. What is the right way to flash to DXJPA??? Coz, when i flashed DXJPA thru ODIN with 803 PIT with no repartition….the device lost recovery mode and download mode with a grey battery figure appearing when put on charge with the circle not moving. The asian version?? do i use the firmware from Samfirware or Richtofens? and which .PIT do i use and do i use repartition???

    Would be very much thankful if you can guide me on this one…

    Current Phone detail is as shown below…
    baseband version I9000DDJG4
    Android 2.1 – update1
    kernel version 2.6.29 [email protected]#2
    build number ÉCLAIR.DDJG4
