Woei! Het is me gelukt! Heb Froyo er op staan via Kies! Eerst melding dat er geen nieuwere update was dan JM2. Daarna KIES open laten staan en de volgende registerwaarden op de PC veranderd via regedit: IN HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Samsung/Kies/DeviceDB/ Daar vind je een aantal mappen, zoek in één van die mappen “HIDSWVER” en “ProductCode”, “SoftwareRevision” en “DEVCONINFO”. HIDSWVER en SoftwareRevision moet zijn: “I9000XWJM2/I9000NEEJM1/I9000XXJM1/I9000XWJM2? Productcode moet zijn: “GT-I9000HKDNEE” DEVCONINFO moet leeg zijn. Regedit afgesloten, teruggegaan naar Kies enweer op de firmware update button geklikt en toen kwam ie netjes met JP6 (=Froyo).
