I5700 Galaxy Spica/lite officially gets Android 2.1

I would say (again) that anybody who is going to use Odin SHOULD DEFINATELY BACK THEIR APN stuff first, then restore after.

Definitely.

What's the best way to do this?

Ehrm. I did the 2.1 update with Odin, but wasnt it the official? Did the guide that was linked to on the 9th page of this thread. Does that mean that i have flashed my firmware with unoriginal firmware and lost my guarantee?

I found the following apps very useful while upgrading my spica. They don't need rooting or anything and they are plain simple.

- APN Backup and Restore
- SMS Backup and Restore
- Call Logs Backup and Restore

im going to start another post up because members have taken over it with there unofficial flashing of there phones...i run my own forum for large scale petrol cars so i no what im taking about this post was set up for the proper release of 2.1 now if any body lookin for news on the official release all they are going to get is update by odin which is not official

Get the APN backup and recover app from marketplace. It backs up to your sd card, then after upgrade, install it again and restore your settings. Really easy.

It'll be fine. If your phone dies, it won't be because of the software - so long as you use an unmodded firmware, I very much doubt Samsung can even tell how you updated (or care).

A bit of a troll on Mr Petrol entertaining us all with his propriety.

I decided it was a little too mean

What is new in this firmware? I have I570EXXJCF now....

Well below is the translation from google posted at samsung-firmwares

**********
From what I've read so far, i570EXXJD1 is the Russion ROM and has no improvement over JCE (If you're not Russian that is ).


Hotsnow's post on 4PDA.ru forum (translated with google translate):
First impressions of XXJD1:
1) The speed of the Pantheon, the standard (not an ounce has added to the velocity, compared with JCE)
2) 130 mb free memory (no progress, everything is standard, as in the latest firmware)
3) By the way, despite the CSC with our as I understand "locale", the Russian did not appear by default)), all the handles ..
4) the Internet as "the Russian default, does not appear .. (Although all easily settled "handles")
5) gallery, music, etc. The standard applications work as well as in the JCE (subjectively, not found until the changes)
6) Video player, I thought, was a little "frolic")) (in terms of peremotok, and in terms of "Do not run ahead" sound))) Although to be honest, at this point, most likely, it's more my desire)), than real differences ... (From the same JCE)
7)Tested a few games (pulserider, Doodle Jump, well, so for pennies), which in general is going to Speke without problems)) (even on JCE, in all these games are not artful regularly occur are small, quick-passing, but slowdown .. even if you choose to bare firmware) So at XXJD1 - In principle, ideally go!
I certainly do not make the final predictions (all 3 games tested), and probably all that really hindered (3D games), and will continue to slow, but interesting!))

Or am I missing something?

Anyways, I've just flashed to this and looking for what's different...

^^^^^^

me too

following the odin guide with the JCF firmware, the phone feels smooth and snappy with 130MB free space for apps.

At last ..... 2.1 installed using ODIN, not concerned about official version anymore...

so why are still posting on this post then when its for official update

Guys what would happen if I tried to update the firmware myself using Odin etc with a "Sim Lock"/"Network Lock" on? My phone is sim locked to tmobile in UK.

Also is there any way of backing up my current ROM?

I couldn’t wait. I just upgraded my TMOBILE UK SIM LOCKED phone to Android 2.1 using the guides knocking about on this forum. It's extremely simple. I'm off to play about with it.

Hi all,

I just installed the upgrade on my bought free i5700 in Ireland using Magnet as ISP and NPC 1.5.

My review is... do it any other way. It took me 2 hours to do one (I still have to do my wife's) and 4 retries meaning 4 full downloads of the firmware software. And a couple of "what the hell am I suppose to do now" moments due to not everything working as the messages said (take into account that I would consider myself anything but a newbie).

Seriously bad software this NPC. I'm wondering if going through the same process for the second one or go the ODIN way.

Well I just wanted to know that it's available in ROI so it shouldn't take long to be available in UK.

Regards

Doing it the Odin way takes you less than 5 mins....... but according to some purists in here, we are not supposed to talk about it
