Thanks to this update your battery power will significantly better. The battery drain will be completely gone.

Make sure your battery is at full capacity when you use KIES, OTA or ODIN.

Is it only for the UK? Or the problem is going to be fixed everywhere? I don’t like the battery discharge speed.

Where can I find the “.tar.md5″ to flash it via Odin ? I only have a cwm flashable version and I’m not rooted

Yes, its LH1 modem. If you have Clockwork mod on mobile, you can update your modem via Recovery mode. Just instal modem ZIP file in Recovery mode. Modem ZIP file can download on this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?zyef8nbdnfnt126

Guys, I need your help !
I tryed to update thru OTA or Kies, without success, MY galaxy is with the BTU software installed via ODIN.
The Kies tells me that my galaxy does not support update thru Kies, and the OTA does not find any update…
I`m missing something to enable the updates on my device ?
I`m running the LG8 BTU software.

Laserra , it could be that you have a different sales code on your phone ie KOR or something else and not BTU . Got to the play store and search CSC changer and dowload it and run it to check what csc you are on . If you are on a different one to BTU , change it to BTU . Kies should update you after this .This will wipe your and reset everything so do a backup first . Hope this helps you

I will change the CSC and I let you know is this worked !
Thank you very much !

Now I got from the update menu:
Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in whith they request it. Try Later
I think/hope that the server is busy.
I will keep trying !

Laserra glad it has worked . I got that message aswell while trying ota update . I suggest you plug it into your computer through kies to update it
Report this comment
Just remember changing csc will factory reset your phone and will wipe it completely so backup all of your settings first

SamMobile the version that is updated through 08/06/2012, is the old version of 26.07.2012. She has simply removed the old version and paste the link above.
The old and the new version have the same size and also the coincidence that same date, 26.
Where is the new version of August with the latest modem?

The only way that the modem will update via kies, is if the CSC code on the phone is set to BTU. You can change this by typing *#272*imei#* To get your imei # type *#060#. Changing the CSC will set your phone back to factory setting, but once you connect it to kies it will prompt you to install the new update. I have done this approx 5 hours ago and the cell drain issue is definitely gone. I haven’t gone over 8% since the upgrade.
