Anything evidently new / better? My existing Kies setup is working fine finally and don't want to disturb it unless there is something interesting in the new release.
Will the Kies hack software still work with this? BTW not only is 2.3 out but Gingerbread 2.4 has also now been seen in the wild so it would be fun to still be able to access the Test Mode

just less bloated. appears to be more user friendly ( not hard! )
not a massive difference so if yours is working i wouldnt bother switching. knowing samsung it would probably break somehow!!

I only know of 2.3 on nexus x. If 2.3 was released on Sgs i would be on it already! :-D
So does kies 2 give any special reason to use it? I haven't used kies much at all.

Kies 2.0 looks like a Linux-Version of iTunes. Testing ...
Cool stuff. Much better as prior Versions. RAM usage is big but it's a much better GUI but not Windows7 like.

Can you connect your SGS with Kies 2? If yes, do you have original stock firmware(without root, lagfix or whatever)?
Kies 2 Does not support the reg hack.

Interface is super lot of interface change. Its good
Works great , and lol. In the video guide when you check firmware upgrade Galaxy S is the example and it upgrades to jm1 , lol'ed

Is it twice as crappy?
Just istalled and it works.
Anyway it prompts me to do a firmware upgrade (DBT code) even if i am on the same firmware it prompts me to upgrade to (JPO). Is Anyone experiencing this?
Even when using check FUS on android market it shows me JPO but with 5 Jan 2011 Date, when previously was 5 Nov 2010, anyone has some info about this?
@titorez I have this issue too. I'm from Poland but I have Germany product code. After I click Update it automatically disconnects the phone and fail. Even if I try to save my contacts on PC it fails.

Exactly what i was talking about, but i did not try to upgrade or play with contacts.
I will wait for the 2.2.1 to be available to "upgrade".

There are a bunch of them in India with the biggest one being Airtel. However, the phones sold over the retail counter account to almost 99% and hence there are no network locked phones here.....in other words ...all GSM/CDMA devices are the Intl versions!
Coming to 7.10.8773.98 ....it needs to be updated thru Zune and as of now it not yet rolled out though it appears here

Well, the update is there. Just check after sometime may be.
It brings some enhancements like you can attach images/videos to messages etc. and some other (undocumented) enhancements and tweaks.
i did't get any update in my OMNIA W till now.... Did anybody got the same?
Please tell me what is new in this update?
thanks in advance.
so..... the mobileoperator value in the registry should be something like 000-IN? Can you you give me your value in the registry? I will try to push the update with this registry hack
So I used the disconnect internet trick and got Tango to install on my phone. Problem is, it stopped with the 3 updates and did not install (or find) the Samsung one that I know was supposed to be installed (for firmware), so my firmware is now 2103.11.10.1 instead of what it is supposed to be.
Does anyone know a way to force the OEM firmware to be sent to Zune. The internet disconnect trick isn't work now, so I'm stuck. Also, my backups aren't showing up, even though during the update process it said it was creating a backup (for all the OS updates it installed all the way up to 8773).
If there is no way to get the OEM firmware to be pushed, does anyone know how to get the Focus Flash to stock? I know I have a backup on my computer, but Zune isn't recognizing it (I had forced 8107 on my phone, and Zune made a backup of that ROM).
When we get this update? there is nothing showing in zune or in phone yet.....
Is this update is available in India and for OMNIA W or not?

Edit: It worked finally after multiple attempts....I guess it was all in the timing of pulling the LAN Cable.... so I was finally able to update to Tango in the below order..... 8107 >> 8112 >> 8773

Turn Airplane mode on
Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
Click on Settings/Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
Click the check for update button again, and this time immediately disconnect your computer from the internet. Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc.
Wait 30 seconds or so and you should receive a notification that an update is available.
Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
Hi guys.
I have just received my new Galaxy Note II. Live in Denmark, and on the box it says "approved for nordic operators".
I don't have the multiview function. Holding the back arrow doesn't activate anything, and there is no menu option I haven't turned on, as far as I see.
I heard this was a problem with European models, but I also read that Samsung had issued an update to fix it.
According to the phone, I have the newest software version.
I tried to upgrade firmware via Kies. Updated Kies. Tried both on my PC and Mac. The only message I get is that my device does not support firmware update via Kies. Very annoying.
I made some search on the net, I even tried Kies mini, but without effect.
Does anyone have an idea about what I should try?
I post a screenshot of my system information.
Thanks a lot. Take care.
Agoston
Not exactly sure how to help you but I'm sure it's probably that the update isn't available in your region. I could be wrong but the only way I know of at this point in time to fix this is to root and manually download and apply the update.
The update has been available in Spain just today. They are releasing it in different countries at different times, maybe to avoid problems with their servers.
Just wait a couple of days more.

I was thinking about:
1. downloading the update from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100
2. and following these directions:

Do you think this can hurt/brick the phone or cause problems?

If you can access download mode, it's nothing serious.
Head into http://sammobile.com or http://samsung-updates.com and look for your phone's model name. They have firmware for pretty much any device so hopefully they have some for yours.
So the only thing that freaks me out is all these region codes... I dont see one for USA...Now what lol

I have the exact same phone and the exact same problem. Kies (via USB) recognizes there is a SPH-L520 connected but won't actually connect to it. I asked Samsung for the appropriate drivers (none are listed on the webpage for the device) but Samsung says there aren't any drivers for the SPH-L520. Kies does connect my SPH-L520 and my PC via WiFi, though. And, despite having enabled Developer Mode and USB Debugging, Kingo fails every time. Any ideas?
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
It is also where Kingo originally got their method from, I wouldn't trust them too much if I were you. The best thing about the above method is, if it can't root the phone, it won't touch anything. If it can - it won't trigger the Knox. I tried on my JB 9190 and works. Unless you have a locked bootloader... that would complicate things.
hello guys is there a way to unlock samsung gs4 sprint to gsm been searching around cant find a good answer cos the phone seems to have a sim slot. also can it be flashed to cdma if the gsm potion wont work. thanks

If you're on NA7 as a few of us seem to be, you're screwed I believe unless someone comes up with a recovery we can flash through odin or kies. I would like to be wrong about that, but I haven't found otherwise.

It's the version of software we're on. Still JB 4.2.2, but the last Ota under the guise of updating Spark also included Knox which is not allowing us to root through the Saferoot method.

The stinkers! I thought I read that Sprint was coming out with an upgrade to JB4.3 for us S4 Mini users, but it hasn't been pushed to my phone yet like the WiFi calling upgrade was. Think that might alleviate the Knox-blocks problem if/when it occurs?

Why would that alleviate it? Knox is here to stay. Very doubtful any update is going to remove it. Lately it's all about locking things down.

Hi, Any Tab 3 Model is currently supported by Triangle Away.
You gotta wait until Chainfire release a version that support these Tablets.
I hear that flashing Stock Firmwares with ODIN resets the Clock Counter.
I tested it on my Tab 3 10.1 Wi-Fi GT-P5210

latest version that i tryed do not support it. as i found on "triangle" topic, there are few requests for SGT3, but nothing else. all say "wait for developer".
so, i presume we are stucked on manual update only.
EDIT: i just checked "triangle" site and topic, and, no. it is not supported. latest version if from january 2014, and nothing newer. so, bad luck.

S6 CF-Auto-Roots are available from the repository at http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ !
Nice, looking forward for it
Will test as soon as my device arrives.
I am afraid of this statement:
Before actually rooting though, consider that KNOX will likely be tripped, and there's a good chance untripped KNOX will be required for phone based payments.

Can someone that has a T-Mobile S6 please test this?! If so, then I honestly might not root my S6 -_- unless someone comes up with a way to not trip Knox.
The s6 is out now?
No, but there are enough engineers at service centers, distributors, inside Samsung itself, who already have one, leak the necessary files, and test the roots, for this to be available already.

Silly question. I just per-ordered a T-Mobile GS6 Edge (128). I would very much like to root it. If you could, would you link the correct download from your repository for this particular Phone/Model?

Does this require wipe? Bootloader unlock?

Can confirm the model number. Guess root isn't available yet. Not used to using browser without adblock
Not working here either. I just received my T-Mobile GS6 today and I can't get it to apply the root. Odin just keeps failing.
Could it be the out-of-the-box OTA we received? Or was this ever actually working?
