It’s Official! For all users of Samsung Galaxy Users in UK can now smile as Samsung has pushed an all new latest version of 2.3.5 Gingerbread XXJVT through KIES tool which is the PC Suite for the Samsung Android phones.

The all new update which is dubbed as Gingerbread 2.3.5 XXJVT can be applied manually. The best part of this part is that anyone with their Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000, the only condition being is that the phones should be unlocked ones and should not be the network locked phones.

But this version update is already provided by you and after that there was another update of 2.3.5 XFJVA.
Yes but the UK Mobile Users have got it Officially Now!
Ok but is there any difference in this official version and the version which you have provided?
both are the same!
India??
yes samy, Indians can apply this update!
Dear Mr.Neal,
I think you want to talk about the SGS GT-I9000 UK, but in your tutorial there is in the second paragraph a mentioning of Samsung Galaxy S GT I9100 and if it is a mistake it may lead the readers to a misunderstanding. Please consider and correct if it is a mistake or is this update applicable to SGS GT I9100 too?
Thanks,
Mahmud K
it was a typo, thanks for the finding! we have corrected the same
what are the list of enhancements with official XXJVT than the one posted on androidadvices earlier? can we expect any fix for improved battery backup? Please advice as i am on rooted XXJVT and the only issue now is the battery backup
it has got overscroll glow, menu now navigates in all directions! and also the battery backup is improved!
Thanks, But these features were already incorporated in the version provided by androidadviced long back, are they both same? any additional features apart from these?
thanks again

I\m on 2.3.3 I9000XXJVK, Can I go ahead and update this ?
yes, update with XXJVT Firmware!
Hi,
I am in UK. 2.3.5 does not seems to appear through Kies. Mine phone is unlocked and running 2.3.3. Any help!!!
yes if your phone is unlocked then you can easily update with the same!
Does samsung kies recognise your phone when you connect it..?? Does it sync with your phone??
Also does it bring any messages stating update available..??
yes for UK customers it will get connected!
Hi Frenz,
I am in India, if I download and upgrade the XXJVT 2.3.5 rom manually, will it void my SGS i9000′s warranty ??
Plz advise.
no, warranty won’t get void!
Greetings. Just few questions before I attemp to this updates. I’m now on 2.3.5 XXJVS as I’m facing a several issues.
1. The Android Phone some how force closed after I ended the calls, then my phone freeze.
2. The Chinese input is gone!
3. The battery life isn’t lasting long.
May I know if I upgraded it to XXJVT would be much better and would my problems fixed? BTW, what are the others features would I get?
yes it will be solved as XXJVT also have got the fix!
Hi
I have been checking Kies for the official Samsung firmware update to 2.3.5
Still says my firmware version is Gingerbread.XXJVO is the latest version??
Are you sure that 2.3.5 has been released officially by Samsung in the UK through Kies
Let me know
Rogerbill 77
you can apply the update manually of XXJVT!
That is true, but my SGS is locked to T-Mobile, and I do not want to slip up and brick the phone!!
I feel the official update thru Kies is most likely the safest way to proceed with the update?
In any event, I go back to my original question – are you sure that Samsung have actually released 2.3.5 thru Kies in the UK?
Thanks for your patience
Rogerbill77
yes you can revert back to any version of your choice! but this version of firmware is for non locked phones!
Do any one know if there is an update for 2.2 Galaxy S GT I9100M.
This unit really need a face lift
It gives me so much trouble and the Kies is not working well at all.

yes it does fix the issue!!!

Hey, I just upgraded to this firmware, because the previos one had this particular issue, Sometimes after I use a couple of apps and Press the Home button, the Homescreen is blank for a few seconds and only then do the widgets appear again. And when I open the App tray its the same case theres a circular loading thing for a few seconds before the icons show, Now, I updated to this firmware and am sad to find out that the problem persists.
Please Help.
