IK4 now out through NPS in the UK.

[Rastaman-FB]

I just updated my galaxy on O2 contract, updated fine, but when I tried to update my other galaxy, unlocked on 3 network, it said there was an update for ik4, hit the button to update and it said "No file to download".

Is this due to the other galaxy not being on O2? If so will a quick swap of the sim to my O2 one work for the update, and will the phone remain unlocked after the update?

no it means the csc is not o2's on the device
you will probably need to use odin to flash it

I've downloaded the latest NPS from samsungmobile.co.uk and it still won't see my phone. I last updated the firmware with the last official update... anyone else had this?

Really, REALLY shoddy user experience, although I'm not sure why I expect anything different from Samsung.

Try Samsung FUS Downloader to download the fw and Odin to flash it.
Read the sticky threads in this forum for details.

I'd like if there is a NPS to Linux.

It would not help you in Brazil with your i7500L. Though I wonder how come you have a European firmware - you must have already flashed with Odin.

I don't have the I7500L, I bought my I7500 in italy. hehehe

Debug mode on? Otherwise control panel and remove everything samsung and reinstall. Works eventually.

Also, do not forget (as so many of us have) to mount the phone from the phone's drop down menu.

Guys on IK4,

have you noticed the problem with internet connectivity over 3g/2g after some usage? Especially if you're disabling APN or switching over to Wifi?

I'm asking becuase IK4 baseband is inside 2.0 ROM and I have that bug. Workaround is to reboot the phone which I don't like.

Cool, turned out that the phone needed debug mode turned on before the NPS would recognise it. Thanks!

Heh, my mate did exactly the same at work yesterday

i'm trying to update via NPS (1.3.0.IH4) but it keeps saying "Failed to connect to server. Update cannot proceed." I'm trying to update from Canada, but I doubt that's the problem. Anyone having this problem?

Make sure your Internet Explorer is not in Offline Mode and can connect to the web without issue.

i thinkive installed correctly, firmware says its updated in themenu however i did not lose any data or apps.

does this mean its not worked or is it normal?

i was expecting to lose everything after a firmware upgrade??

 

[informale]

It's normal. But you should do the factory reset yourself.

 

[croftyboy8]

ahhh, ok, im guessing the firmware wont be running at full speed unless i do that?

 

[informale]

it's not about the speed. it's to be on the safe side and avoid possible bugs.

Thanks guys ... had fun guessing combos of usb mount, debug (Settings-Applications-Application Settings-Development for those that just try and use this as a phone and arent hacking every day ), windows warnings and desires to install new device drivers, NPS warnings about last update must not have terminated well blah blah blah.

Not a device for the consumer for sure... .... prosumers and hackers only..

 

[informale]

prosumers and hackers only..

that's a nice compliment for all Galaxy users )

 

[Hawklord]

and wow no-one mentioned this ... the simple plain old android keyboard is back [far easier IMO than the rubbish samsung one and the anysoftkeyboard that i had been putting up with (nasty 123 button)]

for folks who use it a lot for emails/txts the upgrade is worth doing for that alone...

I believe it was mentioned (in another thread) when it leaked a couple of months ago )

Yeah I think this happens when you update with NPS - or at least it happened to me, twice. It's all for the good anyway.

 

[Hawklord]

Am finding lock button more of a hassle again and apps slower at loading in this version.... (?)

 

[mrqs]

anyone else getting occasional .acore force closes with k4?

 

[nightcrow]

Anyone knows how to enable wifi tethering on K4? Seems like the kernel doesn't support it. Now I'm using Galao with all the bugs of I5. Would be nice to be able to use it on K4.
