Let`s hope it will be stable and usable (KH3 is kind of buggy).

SamMobile Team proudly presents a new bada firmware, we are currently testing everything for you all, also we will list here the changes and what you should know before flashing and stuff like that. It is a Vodafone firmware and not 100% complete but instead of KH3 usable.

But it works OK, and you can install LOW rsrc2 so you don't need to change the debuglevel. It seems to be faster, there are preinstalled widgets and they works. Twitter and Facebook in Social hub works but the apps are missing. Pretty much everythig works.

Alright I installed it and have to say I like it, no crashes yet and overall it`s faster than KH3. If you move the camera it seems to be faster too. Widgets are also working. There are 4 widgets in total: Calendar, Analog clock, Date and time widget and weather widget)

How come, samfirmware were allowed to release another Beta-ROM? I thought they were scared to do that since Samsung put pressure on them. Or is it a final ROM? Why would Vodafone even bother bringing out some Beta-ROM?

Code:
Type : Unofficial Version
Number : 262
Builder : Dell02
Host : SCMDELL16
Date : [B]2011/09/16[/B]
Time : 19:35:07
Size : 42468732 bytes
CheckSum : 0xef3c5853
This Version is around 1 month old...
Maybe Samsung internal Versions much closer to Final...
S8600 stuff are from October...

They just said they are watched by Sammy and that they'll step back, nothing about beeing actually under pressure.
Either way: the new ROM is blaaazzzzing fast.
Restore functionality from KIES now works for me for everything except apps. (though several restores in a row may crash the phone).
I love Sammy and Bada

Froyo XXJPH [see 2nd post for downloads]

At the official Samsung Servis in my country, they are already installing the official Froyo software version:
i9000XXJPH
P.S. By Servis I mean Official Repair Shop, not Internet server.
I also do not have it on my own phone but the friend who was today at Samsung because he wanted to get an upgrade for better 2.1, got 2.2 XXJPH since they got it just today. I asked him for a screenshoot and when I will get it, I will publish it here. I also called to the Samsung Slovenia and they confirmed to me that they do have 2.2 version.
And I am not from Slovakia (as I can read in some posts) but from Slovenia. Learn geography.

MOST PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD ARE USING THE INTERNATIONAL VERSION OF THE GALAXY S. PLEASE CHECK IF YOUR VARIANT HAS BEEN TESTED AND FOUND WORKING BEFORE TRYING !

Flashing (original)
How I did it:
- Optional: Remove lagfixes. CFLagFix does not need to be removed before flashing, unsure about other lagfixes.
- Go into recovery and wipe data and cache, the flash doesn't do this
- Open Odin
- Put the phone in download mode and connect USB
- In Odin, select 803.pit, and ADD_P_U.tar as PDA. (I didn't do repartition coming from JM2, your mileage may vary)
- Flash
NOTE: Not everybody is able to flash right. If the above doesn't work for you, read the rest of this thread. You can try flashing JPC first, this helps for some.

plizzze
It would fit the timetable originally planned, but somehow I don't believe it. The post seems too thin for such a momentous announcement.
If there is more to this, then I'm happy, but for now I'm not buying it...
ZOMG!!!!!! Hope this is true.
Make a dump of your rom please.
Also give us more details.
Can someone just check on the servers? I thought we have people who can access them directly...
The date seems to be the september 23d for official version by official way.
it is possible the rom is yet on servers
i hope so
super excited!!
i will hold out lol...remember JPC
Never forget the issues JPC brought for some (KOR anyone?)
i really hope samsung isnt about to throw in a mega disappointment with their stock froyo release! the anxiety, the wait time, the expectations....all be better justified!!!
better or fixed file system, froyo speed and memory improvements better be there in the final release!!! if the fs is not fixed, they better release the sources immediately so that supercurio can atleast build us a voodoo fix
Well, I never had the KOR problem with JPC, I installed it via Kies and never had a problem with it so far. Only problem is that I can't update the regular way now because Kies claims it can't update from JPC of course...^^

He actually also did not say where he actually is (the flag points to Slovakia) or give any information, links or anything useful. Now he#s sitting back and enjoying the feeding frenzy...^^
UPDATE:
Looks good, we can't decrypt it though. Is anyone seeing life-signs in Kies or have we all lost our virginity and can't update via Kies anymore

There is a Hungarian joke: not blind but brave.
Everyone should decide that what I am, I tried out.
And it works! Although the loss of five minutes to go and kies recognize.
The German language in the menu somewhere to stay ...
Are still being tested but so far 100% ......
Good for you and your work

comments: disappeared of the default images, ring tones ,widget .
helicopter Video : 1280 - 720 Divx would go smoothly - MP4.
I think the greatest importance that everything works as S8500XXJL2 firmware. Default is only a few things missing, this is an encouraging step towards the further modified firmware.
Congratulations.
This is a huge step and exactally what i was hoping would come of this section being opened.
Shall we get a bit more adventurous and make a to-do adfree?
If you need a hand with anything please do tell me.
Well done!
Can someone please provide me a mirror..i am getting below error while trying to download the file..
The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

[Q] Problem on installing apps to an unpublished Bada phone (GT-S7250)

Hello guys, I'm a greenhand on XDA, English and Mobile-dev, so please forgive any of my stupid words if I do have said in the bellowing description.
Yesterday, I joined the Samsung Bada Developers' Day, and got an unpublished Bada phone, it's GT-S7250 (Wave M). The problem is , I found I don't know how to install apps on it .
At first, I tried the built-in app market client, but strangely, I can only found some test apps on it, I guess that 's because the app market server still can't recognize this phone type yet.
Then, I use Samsung Kies on my PC, wish I could send apps to my phone after downloading them with Kies, but unfortunately, still doesn't work, cause it always prompts that the device is not supported.
So, could anyone provides my any idea to bypass all these limitations ? Thanks.
PS: I have do some monitoring work on Kies, and seems that there no validation requests to the server, and thus I think there might be a configuration file on the local disk, containing the supported devices's info, and if we can find and hack it, perhaps we could bypass the limitation.
what display resolution does your device have?
maybe you could ask larioteo for a copy of his app, he has found a method to install one app without kies, but he's only developing in 800*480 resolution
Can you show us the FW code read by kies???
i want to see if i can get the FW you have right now
About hacking kies...i think your phone is HVGA device so you can't install apps that are in kies right now
Wait until larioteo is back from his work to see what we can do about it
maybe we take you as a tester because you know chinese and we don't have chinese localization
Best Regards

Thanks for your reply, as @mylove90 said, the screen is HVGA, 480x320.
I will dig into larioteo 's posts while waiting for his reply.
Acutally, I have found the downloaded app files on my PC, the path is
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Samsung\Kies\Download\Applications, under this folder, I have found the *.app files, together with the corresponding *.app.img file each. I guess these are the app files I need, but to my disappoint ,when I copy these files onto my phone, I can't install them, it prompts unknown file type.

Hi, mylove90, thanks for your reply.
To be honest , I don't quite understand what do you mean by "FW code", this is the first time I met this abbreviation, I guess you mean the "FirmWare code", right ? If so , Kies shows the firmware version is : S7250XXKI8/S7250XAKI8(XXX) , Hope this is what we need to find.
As to become a tester, I have to say that I'm REALLY REALLY glad to do that, it's an great honor for me that I can do something for possibly all Bada users as my feedback to the community.
And I also had a look at larioteo's post about the voluntas browser, hope I can do somthing for it.
Thank you again,
Best Regards.
S7250XXKI8/S7250XAKI8(XXX)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you for info.
Firmware seems from September... XXX seems Product Code...
About install Apps... as handset is "new" (different Resolution)...
But you could play with bada 2.0 SDK to install few examples...
Maybe be carefully, as it is an prototype and as I know no Firmware is leaked, to fix problems...
Best Regards
I found something, if i wanted to search "S7250XXKI8". There is http://www.badaforums.net/forums/bada2/bada-dev-day-2011-t4913.html discussion on badaforums about Wave M.
Oh Samsung is so evil
XXX is invalid product code for kies updates
you get XXX product code is you damaged your original one
they know that we already got kies firmwares for sure
Best Regards
Hello there i am see left
XXX is not invalid it is the "Default Code", the main product code for all devices, only test devices gets this code, it is the ultimative update everything code.
As i know it from slyfer my tool to watch their server XXX was always the first code that got an open europe firmware, than the others get an upadte like DBT, OXA OXB OXC OXD OXE OXG after that the providers pick another of that and make something liket his VIA DRE and so on.
For more infos you need only to ask.
Picture in 5 minuetes: (also with other codes that you believe me )
note: yes the server changed but not the codes
larioteo know the best, but probably you can't install any apps that already launched. I mean, you can't install the apps that downloaded with Kies. but you can install an app that under development via Bada SDK 2.0 or larioteo's method. I hope I didn't make things worse for you.
Root Cert method via BADA SDK
If you just want to install your own apps on your wave M, ask Laoriteo about the root cert method via BADA SDK.
Really appreciate all you guys very very much, thank you for you kindly replies to my first thread on XDA.
According to your opinions, seems that there isn't much I can do with this problem. Perhaps I can only wait for the publication of this phone type, maybe till that time I will be able to use the built-in Samsung app market client. Or perhaps some hackers may jailbreak Bada, so that we can directly install any apps.
Then, I will be aiming at Bada app development, because I really feel the lack of apps on Bada, especially under the condition that I can't install any apps on this phone now.
Thank you,everyone!

Maybe you could try this...
Maybe you see then Firmware for your handset...
Maybe Apps...

today they said that kies can be hacked and 'forced' to test mode, in this mode kies will release also firmwares that are not official and that are under internal test.
Samfirmware said that in the next days will tell the hack procedure...
tweets: http://twitter.com/#!/SamKiesUpdates
This bring us all firmwares nearly a month before release
Slyfer did a thing that is similar, it has only another method, select instead of type.
Every Firmware was selectable and there was many bada firmwares one month before release in my hands
If a done bada test firmware is out kies will distribute it in test mode.
i think that the test mode is to replace FW leaking
but kies is too buggy and i hate it
let's wait and see what hack Samfirmware got for us
best regards
how about the check fus downloader will support for test mode?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17902335&postcount=15
I have no idea what to enter correct... and not tested yet Kies Test Mode... see here:

As promised, here is the new version:
v.2.1 - File version 2.1.0.0
* Added ability to download TestMode firmwares
* Let's you enable TestMode in Kies (Please report if it works)
* Sorted model list
How to enable TestMode manually

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies2.0\FUS]

[Q] Bada 2.0 help

Hi I am VERY new to all of this and would like to know how to do a few things. First of all the Android guide on the S8500 did not work for me but I will leave that for another time. I have a Samsung Wave S8500
<SW VER>
S8500JHJH3
<CSC VER>
S8500PTRJH3
I got my phone in Israel from the phone company Orange, and according to samfirmware this is not an Israeli version. Some research got me to think its because my phone came unlocked (its a newish law in Israel). My Bada version is 1.0.2 which is pretty ****ty for the phone specs and all. I was wondering a few things.
1) If I flash this and update to 2.0 and don't like it or need to get my phone fixed or something could I/how could return it to factory settings?
2) Kies does not want to update lmao so how can I make it update?
3) Whats better in bada 2.0?
4)Later I will want to know how to port to Android but as I said I will leave that for a different time.
Thank you nobody for replying?! What great forums...

Hi,
1) yes you can go back to Bada 1.2 or other samsung firmware but not your operator firmware.
2) you can update by multiloader and install firmware samsung available on www.sammobile.com
3) A lot of things are better but for now it's only beta version for S8500, waiting for final release... so you could have some bugs.
4) I'm not sure about the interest of doing that... It's only for having market, for the rest you can not even phone... with your phone.
Wish it helped.
Thank you very much. That was very insightful and helpful.
How can i port back to bada 1.2?
