I5700 Galaxy Spica/lite officially gets Android 2.1

IMHO and not wanting to argue, I am just trying to confirm for everyone (only someone from Samsung truly could) the interpretation of the firmware build numbers. Every Eclair (2.1) build has I570E at the start, and no other prior build (and their are many) based on 1.5 have E after I570(0). 3 in the UK and many other European mobile providers have shipped I5700's with I570EXXJC1 - bit odd to ship 'experimental' builds on shipping phones (we all expect bugs in software but not to openly supply 'experimental' software). Also software companies of all kinds generally use the 'beta' tag to show software is not UAT'd and not the 'shipping' or 'production' version.

The E in I570EXXJC1 is for Eclair
 
there is a link to download New_PC_Studio_1.4.0.IL2.exe
but just got a tweet from t-mobile
Hi Chris, if you mean the 2.1 android update, the TMUK version is not currently available, we will tweet the date as soon as it is :-)

T-Mobile Help: Chris, we in the twitter team are in direct contact with the handset teams, we will be among the first to know (and we will tweet it) :-)
 
there didnt used to be a galaxy portal on the firmware update page but there is now..i cant update mine as i used odin

as for t mobile they dont no the left and from there right when it comes to updates
 
Kies runs on Windows 7, but you have to enable USB Debugging for it to see the phone. No update available.

On Windows XP, I ran NPS 1.5 and it said NPS doesn't support GT5700, use Kies instead. Fat lot of use that was. I tried updating the firmware from NPS, but it said no update available.

I can only assume that it's because I am already on 2.1, (or the update process doesn't work).

My conclusion is, if you want to try this update method, go ahead.

However, as many have already updated using Odin, AND we know it works, if you want to update use Odin.
 
once youve used odin you can use nps to update the phone any more all i wanted to do is inform the members who havnt updated via odin that you should be able to now with nps if you cant phone samsung and tell them that its says on there web site that theres a updated firware you you to insatll
 
I've tried to update again through NPS on a clean windows XP install using the version linked above, it states "device is not supported", "The device you have selected does not support software upgrade". Also tried on another XP PC with NPS1.5 linked from this thread, this states "no updates available".

Back to Odin as this roll of the dice was a FAIL.

Expect it to be the earlier version JC1. I'll be glad to be wrong, but, I ain't taking bets. There are 6 (count 'em) later firmware versions after JC1.

JCD
JCE
JCF
JD1
JD4
JE1

I think the point is that a large number of users have lost faith an any sort of update via T-Mobile UK. As far as I am aware they have not confirmed a delivery method and cannot even give a release date tied to something like Q3 2010.

I've updated this afternoon using the firmware and instructions provided by Beerkan and after a couple of hours use I must say, so far, I'm glad I did. :)
 
as i said before contact samsung not t mobile and ask them why cant you update when its on there web site it says that a update is avalable
 
This must mean the release is close, as this follows the pattern seen with countries that have had the release.
 
I570EXXJD4 is marked as suitable for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Truth is, you can install ANY firmware. Once you insert your SIM it will pick up your provider for phone calls and incoming SMS. You may only need to change the language and enter your own providers APN setttings. You might have to manually enter your providers SMS Centre No. too.

I know some Canadian users have successfully installed I570EXXJD4, having only to manually add their providers APN settings.
 
Hi everybody! I have a question, does anybody has this firmware I5700XXIL4 (hungary) or how can i get this? i know this question is not here truth, but i can't find a topic, where i was able to ask the question.

thanks for your help and sorry for my english!
