Need some advices

[xhoizekaj]

Hello people! New here...
I own a SGS I9000...ORANGE...BOUGHT IN SWITZERLAND...
I made the update to 2.2.1 Froyo when i was in switzerland on december 2011
Later..when i came in Albania (my country) i flashed via ODIN with 2.3.5 (about 1 year ago)... since that time i have checked via Kies for new firmware versions but ..nothing new. Now ..i want to ask you..Can i upgrade to a newer version of firmware...upper than 2.3.5 even if kies tells me that there are no new versions for my device???Because i've seen surfing on the net...people that use SGS 1..that have upgraded it to 4.2.1 Jelly Bean or 4.1.2 for example.
I repeat...its ORANGE

Thanks

Hi xhoizekaj, and welcome to AF

I don't know the I9000 well myself, but the best place to ask would be in the device forum here: Samsung Galaxy S - Android Forums.

It may be that people are flashing software from other networks, but when some people do is "root" the phone (gain administrator access) and flash custom software produced by independent developers from the Android source code ("custom ROMs"). For older devices that sometimes allows people to experiment with much newer software than has been released officially for the phone. If you are interested in learning about that, you could visit the Galaxy S All Things Root forum.

Hope you find what you need here
