Yesterday we tweeted that we will stop bringing new beta releases of bada 2.0 for the Samsung S8500 and S8530.

Full topic can be found here: Samfirmware.com

I have just not enough words that Samsung never carry out the promises of the new version and now we can not rely on Samfirmware. Personally I do not deal more with Bada not see any development from now on

today they said that kies can be hacked and 'forced' to test mode, in this mode kies will release also firmwares that are not official and that are under internal test.
Samfirmware said that in the next days will tell the hack procedure...

This bring us all firmwares nearly a month before release

Slyfer did a thing that is similar, it has only another method, select instead of type.

Every Firmware was selectable and there was many bada firmwares one month before release in my hands

If a done bada test firmware is out kies will distribute it in test mode.

i think that the test mode is to replace FW leaking
but kies is too buggy and i hate it
let's wait and see what hack Samfirmware got for us

best regards

how about the check fus downloader will support for test mode?

As promised, here is the new version:
v.2.1 - File version 2.1.0.0
* Added ability to download TestMode firmwares
* Let's you enable TestMode in Kies (Please report if it works)
* Sorted model list

How to enable TestMode manually
Code:
------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies2.0\FUS]
"Setting_1"=dword:057abb32
------------------------------------------

This is still not 100% confirmed, please report if it works!

Best Regards

I know it sounds little bit funny if we see now S8600 Firmwares...

But if I read such crap...

are you kidding us? where is bada 2.0 for wave 1 and 2???

SamFirmware and friends have MANY, MANY files/firmwares uploaded for FREE Download since years.
Thank you very much SamFirmware.

Please more respect for people who share their stuff for free.

Best Regards
