XXKC1

Has anyone tried this firmware? Is it the best firmware available? Please help i am currently on XXKB3 since two months.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fooman123:
your just itching to change your firmware -- XXKC1 is 2.2.1 -- XXKB3 is 2.2.1 -- No one has posted anything about any significant differences between XXKC1 and XXKB3..

What is wrong with your XXKB3 -- that you post regularly with looking for an alternative?

Why don't you wait a few weeks for 2.3.x to be released -- unless you just like to tempt fate..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ActuallyDan:
Hey guys, I have just bought a Galaxy SL here in China last saturday. So far, I'm completely in love with it. However, thanks to the censorship we don't get all the good juice you guys there get. So, I'm thinking about changing to the European firmware but I don't know if hardware-wise there are any differences between my phone and yours. I'm thinking about waiting until clockwork mod gets ported. Still, I'm not a patient guy, I want a functional gps! I would really like to know if there are any risks of bricking the phone if I decide to update the firmware.... a soft brick shouldn't be a problem but I really don't want a permanent brick, this toy was quite expensive, mind you.

Anyway, thanks in advance! And keep rocking!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sakindia123:
u can update firmwares all day and cant get a perma brick:p

Hey guys, I'm gonna flash my phone today after I'm back home from work. Anyway, I'd like to know what firmware should I use considering that I live in China. That said, I really don't give a damn about the chinese firmware as it doesn't have youtube, facebook, android market or any google app for that matter. Also, will the gps work once I've flashed it?

New instruction set for 2.3.3 upgrade?

Gingerbread 2.3.3 for I9003 is here. We probably need a fresh guide for flashing this now. I could do one after I successfully flash my device but it'd be better if the OP could just add a new section to the first post with the GB flash instructions.

Let me know what you think krrazzyy.. :)

Hi,

My firmware was I9003DXKB2.

Using the Firmware available in the forum, I reflashed it to I9003DXKE1.

But by mistake I missed the following line

I used the pit file first & then flashed to pda file.

But after finishing the flash process, my phone keep restarting.

So with the firmware available in the forum I reflased it to I9003DXKB2 (it was the one which was in the phone before I started the flashing) again. But although it flashed correctly, I still face this restarting issue. Can't make the phone work as it keep restarting.

Can someone please help me?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Flash to XXKB3 following the tutorial
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kav4:
Thanks, this worked. Can I now re-flashed to I9003DXKB2 without the pit file?

Are there any disadvantages of having this (Europe) firmware instead of my original (DX - Malaysia) firmware? If yes, then can you please tell me what are the disadvantages?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] blackmarlincode:
Use XXKB3, it works very well. GPS works flawless..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kav4:
Yes I agree. GPS works fine. I installed XXKP7 (gingerbread) & working fine. Only problem is the camera is not working.

Any fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
Just wait for less than a week ;)

Another leak is coming or just reflash second time. Camera will work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
@rex

I really don't understand why flashing once will have the camera act up if a phone is coming from GB. I forgot all about it and now my camera is not working. Given that I've made a lot of mods already, is there a way to fix this without reflashing?

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kav4:
Reflasfing with the same firmware fixed the camera issue. Now I got another issue.

My original Firmware was Malaysia - DX. Since I flashed for Europe (XX) firmware, Now I can't get the GPRS/MMS settings for the phone. It says "Handset does not support requested settings"

Is there any way I can solve this? How can I manually enter the GPRS/MMS settings in my I9003?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Contact your service provider and ask them for manual settings
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kav4:
I have the manual settings. Where to enter them?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:

Would you mind doing a review of this ROM for all of us ?

Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:

Thanks to you too as you gave us info and first input about this firmware :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] FrequencyModder:
About xxkb3, I don't see too much of a difference, seems more stable though as I don't have to remove the battery every other day :) .

Hadn't backed up my apps so they were all gone :( , So if anyone is going to try I would advise you to backup settings and apps using apps like titanium backup, don't want to start angry birds all over again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Wondering what problem were you facing so you were removing the battery? mine is quite stable never ever needed to take the battery off. Various bugs were reported in the kb1 I would like to know if those have been corrected or not?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] FrequencyModder:
Previously I had kb1. Other problems persist though in XXKB3. 720p videos from youtube and gametrailer don't work :mad:, Wifi eats battery fast :(.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zhaky_gng:
Is there other pit file for re partition internal memory, or other method for repartitioning?

I think i get wrong when flashing pit file.

I guess latona_20110114 wont work with my ROM/Device. My device is i9003 with 4GB internal memory.

My phone got brick (boot stuck) after flashing I9003DXKB2.

I tried wipe cache, partition and data, but nothing change, still stuck on boot.

When i try to format internal memory from recovery mode, there no message like "Format Done..."

So i think i damage my internal memory?

Is there any way to recover my phone?

Thanks

*sorry for my bad english
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
kkrraazzyy updated his FW to I9003DXKB3 & with that this was working so may be its not compatible with I9003DXKB2

Why not use kies to recover & also to update the FW, I believe its safe than using odin.

Start kies> connect the phone go to tools> emergency firmware recovery> window will open where you will see the phone listed > follow the procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zhaky_gng:
Correction : kkrraazzyy updated with I9003XXKB3, XX:europe not DX:east asia.

I agree, maybe PIT file & ROM file doesn't match.

I've tried flash I9003ZCKA6 ROM (china & hongkong firmware) to my device with kkrraazzyy method, but nothing change. Just stuck at boot.

Unfortunetly, when i connect my phone to KIES, wheter in download mode, recovery mode, or booting condition, KIES wont detect my device :((

Is there a trick to make KIES detect device in download/recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Was it detecting the phone earlier? I hope you had kies working earlier with drivers installed....if not then I don't think you can use kies now.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zhaky_gng:
Yes it was. I checked registry & i found my device info on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\2\

My Kies version is 1.5.3_10124. Or i should download latest Kies version?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Sure update to the latest version & try if it lets you connect to a bricked phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
exact same problem as zhaky pit file not for asian firmware maybe.dwnloadin european one lets hope it works
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MFD-2H:
You must lend the file "MODEM_I9003XXKB3_REV_00_CL928844.tar.md5" form XXKB3 for flashing PDA file "I9003DXKB2-I9003DXKB2-I9003OLBKB2_HOME.tar" in Odin3.

The DXKB2 rom has no Phone file.

It's OK. Tested
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
kb3 works fine but can someone upload the indian firmware if possible....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
official or unofficial There is no Indian xxkb3 yet.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
i want the kb2 if possible....................even kb1 will do but the indian version.anyone has it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
Just found this post & yes I9003 has a hard reset button too.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018620

What to do

- Take of the back case of your SGS, in between the camera and the speaker, you will see a little circular hole...

- Take a pin/pen and poke it...

- Hold the hole pressed in and press the 3 button combo for download/recovery mode (two person required for this operation)

It should go into download mode and from there you can flash on a fresh stock firmware!

Hope this helps you to recover your phone, let us know if you are able to recover or not.

Sorry for being a noob but as I am new to flashing, I dont want to take any risk.

Everything is clear till point no.7. Then after selecting the files as mentioned in point no.8,9,10, do we disconnect the phone from the computer and remove the battery and follow as said or do we have to do any thing else between point 7 & point 8 , like uploading those files to the mobile or pressing any other switch...

Thankyou so much for the guide... Followed the instructions and flashed to XXKB3 successfully in the first go itself. There seems to be no problem till now. Everything is working smoothly although I dont notice any major inprovement from the old firmware. I will use it a bit more and see if there is anything worth pointing out...

Try putting the battery back..:)

And if you did try and try again.. I experienced the same thing sometimes.. Also try removing the sim and sd card..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] micmaccc:
actually it happened to me too...

IMHO between step 10 & 11, should include step to disconnect usb cable from phone...

;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] fxsuprapto:
What I did... after put the battery back, don't forget to put the back cover as well.

Continue download mode by pressing the 3 button one by one a bit slowly.

I'm not sure why but it works on me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
I can't (or it's hard to) open the case without disconnecting usb cable :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
What?? Put the back cover on? That DOES not affect anything at all! :rolleyes:

After you push the latona, click reset on ODIN.

Now, disconnect USB, pull battery, wait 10 secs, reinstall battery, hold Home>Vol Down>then Power for about 5 secs.

Release button within 5 secs as soon as you see the download screen.

Now flash the Boot, Modem (Phone), PDA and CSC files. Wait for Pass on ODIN and then once your phone recovery screen comes up, disconnect USB. Do not do anything to the phone until its rebooted itself. If it gets stuck at the initial Galaxy S screen, just pull battery and power on manually.
