You're not on the latest firmware. JC1 is March 2010.

There's been approx 6 more experimental updates since then.

It's unlikey your phone is rooted, but yes, it can be rooted.

thx mate,
but what you mean by "It's unlikey your phone is rooted"

that means, is it alredy rooted ?
so no need to do anything ?
how is that? because I directly bought it from the network carrier.

 

[aneslin85]

And, How can I update my firmware ?
any useful links pls.
thx in advance

I cannot say what firmware your carrier installed. But I seriously doubt they would install a "rooted firmware". I might be wrong.

If you're happy with your phone, then leave it be. Unless you know why you want a rooted phone, you don't need to.

As they say, "If it ain't broke, so don't fix it."

 

[aneslin85]

yes, u r correct, I dont have any special reason,
but I just need to play with this

if it is rooted, then how can I install apps on my SD card ?

or how can I confirm that ?

help me pls.
Thx

And, How can I get auto updates ?
( like SonyEricsson and Nokia, we can check the new verson is available or not )
cant find any settings or notifications for check new firmware links

 

[aneslin85]

I have just 20 MB free space, if I click Message button, it will take complete 30 sec to open that

No auto updates as such. You can install Kies and check for firmware updates that way. Don't expect any results though. Nobody has posted a firmware update available for the UK yet. Only way so far is to ask your provider, or update yourself. Your provider may say you already got their latest update, and if you update yourself, cheerio warranty.

There are loads of guides on how to update your firmware. If you want JD4 send me a PM.
