Im on Orange in the UK and I was able to upgrade my phone to 2.2 through kies without rooting or hacking the phone. Kies updated there software then I was able to upgrade my phone. My phone is unbranded as I got it from phones 4 U. It runs good not wiped any information on my phone and I can watch flash videos no problems

I just installed it and now my phone is slow as hell, the Quadrant test I did on it was 942 which is crap. I hope they bring out a speed update soon as it is really annoying as I only just got rid of the lag from 2.1.
I thought it was only Carphone Warehouse that sold unbranded phones as I tried to buy my Galaxy S from Phones4U and they wouldn't sell me a unbranded phone as they said Orange wouldn't allow them.

It would be helpful you could post *#1234# details to us

My phone was heavily branded by Vodafone UK and I updated it via the kies hack last month to JM1 to get rid of the bloatware and splash screen etc. I rushed in this afternoon before going to work and updated Kies on my other pc and updated my Galaxy to JPA by accident. When I returned home after work I immediately corrected this and installed JPO over the top [using an older version of Kies] and also corrected my product code from XEE [Sweden] back to XEU [UK]

*#1234# now reads

+1 ...locked to Vodafone but only got the latest Kies installed....how do I get the older version that allows the hack to work.
Could someone put a list together of files, software etc needed to debrand a Vodafone SGS.

You can get the previous version of kies (83 IIRC), although presumably any older version will work (I did it with the one before the most recent one).

Once Kies is installed, change the following registry value so kies thinks it's the newest version (BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST...right click on the Kies key (the key is the registry "folder") ->export):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]
"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"

After you've changed this value you can start Kies, you should see the 100 version number on Kies' little startup window.

Plug in your phone, (at this point you can try and update and see what version it's offering you, but to get JPO keep reading) leave Kies open and change the following registry values:

EDIT - the following 4 values might not be located in "DeviceDB\4"....mine were in "Device DB\1". Look through each one you have, one of them will have more value entries than the other 2 (or three). This is the key your looking for. Change the following four values for that key. [/edit]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"DEVCONINFO"=""

(for the last entry, the "" basically means just delete what's there.)

Go back to Kies and try updating, you should be offered JPO....without any provider bloatware included :)

I did it this way and it took me about 20 minutes for the whole process (FW download and installation).

Tried all that...no joy...says I already have the latest update ...ah well....no harm done.

Oddly i had to create the /4 part of the registry as it wasnt there at all.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"=""
"DEVCONINFO"=""


how do I get this in the registry cus I only got \3 and no \4 ?

also I found the same information in the \1 folder but with the firmware I have on now...

PDA:I9000XXJF3 / PHONE:I9000XXJF3 / CSC:I900VODJE4

I made up this guide on Thursday and stuck it on the Vodafone Uk eforum lol

The process is really easy and I used my old version of kies to upgrade to JPO!

First of all you need to go into regedit and do some minor alterations to the registry just like when you first updated to JM1.

Do not update Kies! If you do then I think this tweak won’t work!

The Kies version I used was 1.5.0.10024_74 but I fooled it into thinking it was the latest version 

Step by step guide

1. Back up everything you wish to keep, including Apps, phone numbers, Text messages etc because were going to wipe your phone clean before we start!
2. Go to Settings – Privacy – FACTORY DATA RESET and click. Follow the prompts and then let it wipe your phone.
3. Now you have a bare naked phone again and can proceed onto the next step.
4. Open up Kies and leave running
5. Connect phone
6. Open Regedit by clicking on Start – Run – then type in regedit and press enter
7. Scroll down to Kies and look for “Localver” [see pic]
8. Change your Localver code to 1.5.3.10103.100
9. Now go to your Device DB folder and change your settings to these:
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"DEVCONINFO"="" Delete the writing in this box and leave blank.
10. Now go back into Kies and click “Update firmware”

This will now allow everyone who has JPA on their handset with the product code XEE to be replaced with JPO and the product code XEU which is for the UK. Once you have successfully updated then allow the phone to boot up. Once booted up you will now need to go back into your settings and change your product code to XEU. To do this open your keypad and type in *#272*YOUR IMEI# and now you will be back to having a lovely wee choice of product codes to enter. Choose XEU and install. The phone will reboot and you will now officially be on JPO with the correct product code XEU!

I hope this will be mega use to all you folks who want the unbloated version of Froyo 2.2 JPO!

Please note that by doing any update on your phone could cause it to brick itself. The guide I have written worked perfect for me however I can’t be held responsible if your phone bricks itself. To be safe always try the 3 button recovery method first before you update and also doing a factory reset first usually ensures a smooth installation of new firmware.

Sorry guys....I forgot to explain that part better. The registry key "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]" won't necessarily be #4....it was just what the guy at XDA had. You should have a few different ones (usually 1-3). Look in each one, one of them should have a bunch of values (including the 4 we want to change), and the other ones will have fewer and different values. For me, it was DeviceDB\1. Change the key that has those values, and it should work.

Hi Sean2476,
Followed your guide on my JM1 firmware, made a few changes and it work a treat. It has even sorted out the product code, mine was showing XEU on the phone but when connected to kies the registry would show SER, anyway all good.

Glad to be of assistance Richard :)

Sean2476 & Hampe tried to follow your guide got to opening kies version 1.5.0.10024_74 and plugged in phone and immediatly get a message saying the device is not supported by kies is this a problem with the version i am using? and do you know any sources to downloaded a later version of kies but not the latest.

Many thanks

(EDIT)Found another version of kies on web and it worked like a charm thank you both!!!

Applied this method using Kies_1.5.3.10093_82.
Worked smoothly, thanks!

is it available for a locked o2 phone?

Your handset is branded so will only accept Vodafone updates. VF are currently working on their bloated version of froyo 2.2 so you will have to wait a while before its released. My handset was a heavily branded VF phone but I have since stripped it of all its branding and it's now a totally generic Galaxy S running froyo 2.2 JPO :)

Your best option is to unbrand the phone so that you only get official Samsung updates. Vodafone bloat their firmwares so best to get rid of them lol

hi i am a new member to the site i have a galaxt gt-i9000 and when i load keis and update it says curret version pda:jf3/phone:jf3/csc:je5 this device version cannot be upgraded.does that mean i will not be able to update/upgrade i am on orange in uk

The Orange version of JPO probably won't be ready yet but if you follow my guide above then you will be able to get the official Samsung version which will be totally free from any bloatware your carrier will have installed on it. You will need to download an older version of Kies to do the reg hack.

got my FroYo on Monday, bought phone sim-free from Carphone Warehouse back in early July. use on Vodafone network. Previous mid update caused phone to brick and go back to GeekSquad. came back in a couple of days. plugged into Kies Monday, got update Kies message, updated and then phone update proceeded straightforward :) a relief!

Hi.
I've just followed the instructions on this thread to update to Froyo (many thanks for the help) but now I don't seem to be able to root and thus restore my backup. I've tried the one-click and the slightly more manual method of getting the update.zip file on the phone but in both cases the phone is telling me the "E:signature verification failed, Installation aborted."
Can anybody advise me what I might be doing wrong please?

I'm assuming your phone wasn't rooted in the first place? also, I was under the impression that signature issues were down to the recovery mode not allowing unsigned files. I'm thinking Goots the man with the plan can help....

Read the first post in THIS THREAD (http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/2770-How-to-use-Odin-to-Flash-JPO-firmware-if-you-used-the-Kies-registry-hack-to-get-JPM).

About two thirds of the way down the tutorial there is a load of "===========================" under that I have put instructions on how to Root the phone if you are JPO and XEU.

Told you he could help :)

anyone reply plzz!

Goots. Thank you.
You were right Doob, Goots had it covered in a second.

Worked a treat and after reading the instructions through a few times it turned out to be very simple. Restore running as I type this.

Thanks Sean2476...I couldn't be bothered to wait any longer for voda to update so I did your method with Kies_1.5.3.10093_82 and its worked perfectly....besides this is probably better anyway without voda's bloatware as u said.

Im using a vodafone sim in a unlocked phone but my product code is 02u. who will i get my update from? id love to have froyo..my phone is rooted but im a noob. thanks anyone who can help x

Is anyone having any problems with fast web installer after updating to froyo using the reg hack? ..I cant seem to get it to work now, where as it was working before on 2.1...when I click on the app it says.....'Unfortunately your phone modal is currently not supported due to a bug in Android operating system. We are working on a solution for this.'

Yep, it appears that the Appbrain Market App works fine on FroYo, but the Fast Web Installer doesn't. I would hope they are working on a patch - that is if someone has told them it has problems...

Hey Yogesh,

I recently unlocked my orange locked using the method below;

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8942669&postcount=94

I am on 2.1 Eclair though, i believe there are some problems on froyo using this method but not sure, the instructions do say to go to a JM1 ROM for it work, it worked on Orange Branded firmware fine btw.

Good luck.

ohh thanks..
i m using froyo now.. no problem so far.. by this method.
so for unlocking i can't do it on froyo right?

ohh thanks..

so for unlocking i can't do it on froyo right?

Maybe not that method, think with that it has to be an eclair build (2.1)
Reason i posted that method was a few people have been having problems with orange locked handsets.
You could try the SGS unlocker app on the market, may find your codes that you need to unlock the phone.

Great to hear that you managed to unbrand your phone! By changing your product code to XEU will mean that its British and i'm sure that this reflects what is available on the Market for your phone. My product code was originally VOD (Vodafone) then I upgraded to JP6 by using the product code XEE (Sweden) then when JPO was released I changed to XEU. My handset is still sim locked and have tried apps from the market to unlock it but unfortunately 2.2 isn't supported yet. At the end of your contract your carrier is obliged to unlock your handset for free. I do this with Vodafone at the end of my contracts

hey everybody,
i have JPA version which i got from kies, because i did the registry hack previously to get the JPM version. However, this is not the right one for me as im in the UK with O2 (unlocked&unbranded).

does it really matter ? ie is there any differences bet. JPA & JPO ( other than region difference)

is it safe to do this to reverse the JPA XEE to JPO XEU ???????

pls help
cheers

Yes having the wrong firmware version and CSC will affect market availability and future upgrade paths.

which froyo is that pidz??

I have I9000XWJG5 and MoDaCo on my phone at the moment, will the official update not work? Is there anyway to reset to get the offical update? I've tried doing a factory reset but still cant get any update to register in kies.

Still no news on O2 bringing their upgrade out, and if the compnay is anything like the "blond" I spoke to in the O2 store on Friday they have no idea what froyo 2.2 is let alone what operating system the SGS uses!! Also spoke to them about some issues I have with my phone and all I got was a very unhelpful shoulder shrug and a " sorry I can't help you I have no idea" !!
I still wait with fingers crossed and baited breath for Froyo!!

Hi all again i am still awaiting the upgrade all i am getting is pda:jf3/phone:jf3/csc:je5 when am i getting upgrade anyone have any ideas

Vodafone update works fine once the phone gets itself sorted and reorganises the files on the SD cards etc....took a good while to reboot which was a bit nerve wracking but seems worth it so far and seems to have sorted the compatibility issue i had with my 16gb external SD card.
Generally much faster but does have minor hicups if there are a lot of un-closed apps running eating up the memory.
And yes as promised the vodafone branding is gone.

ur lucky u have it, o2 dont even know that the sgs even exists apparently :(

my fone was originally a vodafone one with 2.1 and didnt have any voda branding on, even though it had a voda firmware on..its a 16gb one.

You in the same boat as me I think mate. I'm with Orange UK and still no update. I notice when I click on firmware update it it offers to back up the contacts but then says phone is in use, Click ok and it tells me I have the latest update installed

I changed my version of KIES to 1.5.3.10093_31_1, followed the instructions again and I'm now running 2.2...give that a go.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has managed to get the official update from Orange UK without rooting, hacking registry with old version of Kies or using Odin?

I had rooted my mobile but recently unrooted and done a firmware rest to factory settings in advance of Froyo finally being available.

But all I've gotten for weeks now is the same message telling me that no update is available, are we Orange users officially gonna be the last to get 2.2 or is the update being staggered out, any info, anyone?

Hey Ceejay,

Doesnt matter if your rooted, you'll get the update. After an update, root will be removed.
from what i hear on the forums, may be looking at this monday or next monday for official Orange UK release.
Im waiting for it as well, so fingers crossed for this monday. - Its defiantly not out yet!!! Just a case of waiting now lolz

I might be wrong because I never use it any more, but I think you might need to be on the latest version of Kies (100) to get offered the upgrade.

Thanks Pidz, it's just so bloody frustrating hearing everyone else get it on the other networks while we watch from the sidewalk! Fingers crossed for Monday then!

Does anyone know if its certain that you have to have the fully updated kies?

I tried for the update. I am unbranded orange uk. No update so now updating kies and will see what happens.

Pretty sure, think that was samsungs way of combating the reg-hacks, however, XDA guys, worked round this by tricking the server to think that people were using latest version of kies but were not;

So you can either update or change a reg value.

Im updating it as we speak. The only thing is it took me about a week to get my phone to connect to kies on my xp laptop. Not a chance it will see my phone my vista pc. It totally sucks.

lol - well, hopefully whatever the problem, there are plenty of techys here to help :D

New version appears to be much more stable surprisingly. lol

Well its been updating for 3 hours..... about time i quit this attempt. Might uninstall and try a new reinstall from samsung site.

Try the Kies reg-hack to trick the server for its version, see if you get an upgrade response.
Should work the same even if you upgrade to latest.

Tried that before I even attempted the upgrade as im lazy and I know how long kies takes to upgrade... installing a fresh install as we speak.... sigh. All I want is to update my phone, ill be annoyed if I cant do it as its wiped and backed up now.

Kies is so unpredictable, best to use Odin :)

I cant root the phone as I dont have the 3 button. :(

All went ok and im now on 2.2.. cant see many differences at the moment to be honest but it is much faster and less lag. Nothing was lost at all so all is good :)

Clare have you seen the xda devs thread on fixing the 3 button thing ??

IT'S HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201) - I know 3 people who have done it with no problems. (Well, I did it for one of them)


EDIT: I just read your "I'm on 2.2 now" thing, you must be pretty brave to attempt a firmware upgrade knowing the the recovery mode is disabled! :)

As regards to connecting to Kies i have a simple rule that always works.

1: connect the phone through USB first to your PC.
2: wait for the PC to fully connect and display the "My Computer\GT-I9000" window with hard-drives.
3: start Kies and when it finally loads you will find it automatically connects without bother!

I'm running XP still on my PC and Kies takes ten years to load but i've found this always works for me.

It defiantly not out yet, from what peoples are saying, the trend is the carriers release updates on mondays, so hopefully orange/T-mobile will be releasing theres either tomorrow or next week.

Fingers crossed.

Just so you guys know, no update for Orange UK today.

I have an Orange SGS with an O2 sim and I have updated today............................................. ..well, Kies has, to version 102, but NO Froyo :o(

The Kies update is old news and was released a couple of weeks ago. It's good that you have the latest version of Kies, as you will need the latest version to upgrade.

If you dial *#1234# this will give the firmware version you are on, I'm taking for granted that it's these codes which determine your network provider and when you'll get the update.

I'm on JM* firmware, with Orange branded phone and Orange sim. I tried updating this morning before work but no luck. About to check the net for any updates.

If it really is Kies version _102, then that's new out today, the one from a couple of weeks ago was _100.

Yep, it's new, 1.5.3.10103_102.

Still no update and my details are:-

PDA: BVJM5
PHONE: BVJM1
CSC: ORAJM3

Is it worth me trying to de brand away from Orange?

Just so you guys know, no update for Orange UK today.

I'm getting mine tomorrow, see what it comes with. Hoping stock 2.2! I have to phone them up to transfer my number, I'll hassle them then if and when the Froyo is coming to Orange.

If it really is Kies version _102, then that's new out today, the one from a couple of weeks ago was _100.

I can confirm _102 is new as of today.

yup same for me :)

Ive just updated Kies, it clearly showed a firmware update download, but when i connect my phone it says firmware can not be upgraded. The orange web site says nothing, it so annoying.

Anyone with T-Mobile / Orange rather than waiting and waiting, it is more worthwhile spending an hour carefully reading and following the guide by Goots and upgrading to a clean firmware without all the branded crap. I got tired of waiting for T-Mobile and spent just over an hour to get to 2.2. It was well worth it.

I am on Orange but have a unbranded from dial-a-phone. I have seen the branded 2.1 and its jam packed with crap so if I was you I would debrand and go with a clean 2.2.

Hell, even if using Odin is too complicated for you, you can still update through Kies using the registry fix (page 2 of this thread). It doesn't get any easier....and it's worth it to get all the Orange crap off your phone.

Any news on t-mobile getting the update yet?

read that it will be around the 4th of december? or 14th? something like that for Orange, as someone from this forum or elsewhere rang them up. Don't know anything about it for T-mobile though.

Any news on t-mobile getting the update yet?

You could go down the kies patching route and get froyo unbranded for XEU, follow the last part of Goots guide for the CSC and you should be unbranded with FroYo :-P or do goots route complete;

Goots Method from Elcair to FroYo (http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/2921-How-to-use-Odin-to-upgrade-to-Froyo-from-Eclair)

Kies Patcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628)

I personally got fed up of waiting for orange to pull their finger out, no regrets with the upgrade :-D

I want to follow goots guide but i am not very good at all at this type of thing and would probably screw it up........ The futures bright my arse!!!!!!

well i'm getting real tired of waiting for Orange to get their finger out, I think i'll have to brave the registry fix and bypass all that bloat-wear i'd otherwise be lumbered with when Orange finishes messing with Froyo.

God please don't brick my mobile!!!

Anyone knows when the froyo will be available for o2(locked)??

Well I updated to Froyo and its a huge improvement on my old lag infested 2.1 Eclair!
Screw you Orange UK!!! :p

All the thanks to Goots for his guide to EVERYTHING!! You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!:cool:

I know there's been a lot of reports from some who've updated and found their SGS slower than on Eclair but i've got no such complaints, the speed of Froyo is visibly faster, videos don't drop frames, installation of apps is insanely faster, no lag or delay from download to installation. The picture gallery is so speedy its practically instant! Infact data transfer between the main device and the SD card is incredibly improved to make everything so much smoother. You can also pinch to edit the homescreens very much like the HTC and LauncherPro style except ZERO LAG!!!

Skipping the Orange official update procedure means a few missing icons like the Orange Wednesdays etc but nothing I'm ever gonna cry about. The new versions of some of the apps that work only under Froyo make it worthwhile like the youtube app that's ten times better and smoother than before FLASH finally completes the internet browsing experience to make this device feel more like the state of the art mobile is should have been from initial release.

Happy for you mate, im stuck on extracting the files i need from winrar, they wont open :(

Use the version of WinRAR I linked to in the tutorial, not the old version you have installed on your PC :p

Ceejay ... You updated your phone yesterday, did you use the reg hack or the odin method?
I tried on Friday using the reg hack from jm5/jm1/jm3 & kies ver 10083 (I think!) but didn't get any update options. I thought orange was blocking it now

Follow Goots guide you cant go wrong its dead easy. I had a vodafone contract upgrade which I am using on o2 payg and using Goots guide now have an unbranded sgs on Froyo which even Kies can see now!

I have read Goots' guide, it's very thorough and I am in no doubt that it works judging by the number of users that have done it, so thank you Goots. I would just prefer to use the kies route and claim ... I only updated to what kies offered me on my Orange branded phone.
I wanted to know if the ref hack was still valid ...?

The hack is still available but you need to use an older version of kies and change some of the registry. Best to use odin :)

You Can still hack kies even on the latest version, you will need the kies patcher, I have put a link in help and solutions with the title "kies hacking". Or type into google and find the xda thread, the kies patcher is simple interface than will write to the registry for you and allow you to upgrade.

Not sure about what you're telling me about the reg hack still available ...

I've followed all the instructions, modified Kies to 10300.100 (and 10300.102 now), adjusted the reg keys for s/w version, product code, HidSWVer and cleared the key for devconinfo.

I have tried it at work and at home, on both pc's kies starts up and checks and says for my firmware of PDA:JF3 / Phone:JF3 / CSC:JF3 that this device cannot be ugraded.

I've upgraded my Galaxy S once previously to the current orange version of ....
I9000BVJM5/I9000ORAJM3/I9000BVJM1/I9000BVJM5
but using it looks like I'm not going any further! ... not until Orange release their next version anyway.

As I said, its OK people saying its still available but has anyone actually done it very recently or retried it within kies and it give them the option of changing the firmware without actually accepting it. I suppose you could try it even if you have already upgraded to froyo ...

The last time I upgraded via Kies by editing the registry was November 19th (for a friend of mine), so I can only confirm that it was at least working then.

Thanks a lot for all your patience regarding the Galaxy S froyo update.

Our handset team have been working closely with Samsung regarding this update and future updates and would like to share their news with you.

Our goal is to make the update process smoother and we are working to become the only mobile operator offering FOTA (Firmware over the Air) updates for the Samsung product range. The aim was and still is to have the FOTA update available at some point today. If for reasons outwith our control we are unable to have a FOTA update process fully functioning by close of play today, then we will make the update available for download via Samsung KIES tomorrow (Dec 1st)
Good news (http://www.eurodroid.com/2010/11/t-mobile-our-goal-is-to-launch-android-2-2-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s-today/)! Heres hoping Orange do the same. How do you update firmware over the air anyway, does it pop up or something?

Which network announced that?

I used the Kies Red Hack from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628 and it worked perfectly fine. I followed Goots advice to back up data, perform complete factory reset before and after the firmware update. Now its smooth as hell and far more gorgeous to look at!

andy9841, I beleive Orange are asleep, I waited for ages like you and simply had enough. By the time they get their act together we'll have Gingerbread available!

hey guys,

I have a branded " O2 SGS " , has anybody updated to FROYO on it ??

2.2 is already available on Orange UK and new SGS's are being sent out with it pre installed.

Really? Guess its just not been released to the public yet then.. Wish they would pull their finger out.

Ceejay - Did it remove all of the orange branded stuff when you did your update? I prefer the orange homes screen and some of the Orange widgets to the official Android ones, I'm presuming I can't load the Orange stuff on afterwards?

Ceejay, was your Orange phone simlocked before you did the upgrade? Did you do anything to unlocked and be brand it first or did you go straight in with the reg hack?

I din't do anything to my phone other than a complete factory reset after backing up my data, no unbranding or rooting etc. My phone was Orange branded and now has Froyo without the Orange branded apps it came with like "Your Orange", "Orange Wednesdays" or the Contacts Back-up"

Apparently I've been told that some Orange branded phones had a Orange desktop theme with Orange clock etc but my mobile didn't come with any of these and I got it from an official Orange shop, there isn't even an Orange brand icon on the reverse back-panel like my previous Orange phones.

So that's all the info I can give, my phone and sim were from Orange, I backed up the data, did a factory reset and then re-applied my data to the phone to see if it would keep everything intact after a reinstall (experiment)
I then applied the reg fix, downloaded the firmware and it applied itself keeping everything that was on the phone, even the third party apps that i had downloaded before were still listed on the Market on my "Downloaded" section for me to re-download.
But naturally i took Goots advice and did another factory reset which evidently wiped that app info from the market but retained the record of the apps that I had paid for. The phone works even smoother after a factory reset and even after bloating it with a whole bunch of apps again, it still runs smoother than it did before and looks far nicer.

Hope that helps!

I have an orange branded SGS, that used to have the orange theme/clock/etc. I updated through Kies using the reghack, and now it's a "stock" version (nothing from Orange on it). I don't think there is any way to put the orange stuff back on, and I wouldn't want to anyway. The Beautiful Widgets clock is about 50 times better.

The only thing I could see someone missing is the Samsung Apps. It got reduced from about 12 different ones to 5. Some of the games that were there are now no longer available, but I don't really play games on my cell phone (other than the console emulators) so it doesn't bother me.

There are different levels of branding with Orange, and yours sounds like the lighter version. My first Orange SGS was like this, with just a few Orange apps, but the second replacement one had the Orange Desktop and a new Orange animation on boot up. It was also simlocked. Do you know if yours is simlocked?

Not sure if it was or not.

I want to ask a question on your upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2, if you used the registry hack, what's your ModelName?

NOTE: its a registry key in he section you have to change. On a different forum you do have to change it but I dont know if its country dependent so I thought I would ask here to be sure its a UK version that I get!

On the other forum it suggests to change it to ... "ModelName" = "GT-I9000M"
i.e. a 5th key to modify from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556

Where as mine is just .. "GT-I9000" (and yes it wont allow me to update as yet using this method)

if its not correct it WILL NOT allow the search of the servers database and terminates the connection so it does effect the operation. Can anyboy shed some light on what they have in theirs.

Cheers

Pete
P.S. I'm sorry to keep banging on about the reg hack rather than go down the odin route.
