Never use Single file firmware to downgrade to 2.2.1 from Gingerbread 2.3.3. Phone will vibrate and it will get stuck in Samsung S logo. But you will able to go back to Download mode. And flash it with 3 file firmware with re-part selected & with pit file. Use JS5 with 3 files. after flashing with JS5, then again flash it with JS8 single file. This works perfect, later you can use Kies to update it to GingerBread 2.3.3(I9000XWJVB)

This is the best way to get back to Offical Gingerbread using Kies

Is it really gingerbread but why the keyboard don't have gingerbread keyboard???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] florida166:
because samsung wants us to use their stuff, not stock android

thanks alot mate, for pit file in JS5 do I use 803.pit and when flashing js8 do i use 512.pit?

I am not sure what is the most compatible low rom for you. Try to search first.

I found this. JS5 which is a low ROM, meaning it has bootloader in it. Try it if it works:

This is the official European version of gingerbread right?

I need arabic language support on my phone so the question is, can i flash this ROM and somehow flash the files needed for the arabic locale and shaping( framework i believe? ) over it? Or do i need root for that?

If im on Darky's v9.5 now, and want to go to this new ROM, what is the best solution for me? To flash the new firmware with ODIN or to flash a stock ROM and than update using KIES?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uvlight:
The browser is annoying as i9000xxjvk, more specifically, the scrolling. it just scroll for 2 pages and stop. What I want is to swipe my finger and I can scroll from top of the page to bottom.

What the hell is Samsung thinking, that's not improvement, that's just stupid. or at least give us an option for that...

Oh well, I guess the only option is to wait for CM7 to make things correct.

(should've got the Nexus S instead)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
Thanks to all the guys that helped me downgrade rom, it worked. :D

Only trouble is with KIES I get the following error:

"This version of this device cannot be updated" :|

Oh well, only a matter of time before we get it officially in the UK
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deezid:
They still didn't fix this bug? Or is a feature? :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
btw, I think the JS8 rom has multi csc, how do i change to NEE or something, it currently says KOR
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
What version of rom did you downgraded to? I think that error suggests that you haven't downgraded yet to 2.2.1. Or maybe I am just plainly wrong.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
I did downgrade mate, It says im on FROYO.XWJS8 in build number

When i connecto Kies it says im on the KOR thing which might be the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uvlight:
I really hope that's not a feature (right now I am really sad about this), this has been bugging me when it first happen with i9000xxjvk.

I know some people would say I should use 3rd party browser, but that's not the point.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Are you sure JS8 is a low firmware? Everybody earlier suggested JS5 as low firmware. Then upgrade to JS8, as one of the good guys said earlier.

EDIT: What I mean is bootloader downgrade...

I am curious on your situation...

I can freely switch from XWJS8 to XWJVB... I think I've been switching for 6-8 times now... Playing and testing which is better... Currently JVB is winning =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
thats what I did mate. I flashed JS5 and then update to JS8 so im deffo on this. Must be a CSC problem which Im gonna try and solve.

You've got baltic region code (SEB, this firmware is available only in NEE), either root your phone and use spooffw or find js8 fw and flash it via odin, then kies should show new updates available.

Oh and there's no support for estonian language. Even if you are using morelocale, there isn't much of it left.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
You get the upgrade when the servers have the upgrade for your product code as supplied by the phones network provider .

Its down to the network you purchased your phone from but they have been asked to roll out 2.3.3 as soon as possible .Though some of them take months to upgrade .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] denzjh:
As you can see in my Avatar, I am not even close to Nordic Area... I am currently in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. I got my KIES working to update my GTI9000 through the following:

1.) I Download the 3-files Stock Firmware for XWJS8 - the one with boot.bin and Sbl.bin =)

2.) Upgrade/Downgrade my SGS using Odin with PIT

3.) In case of errors in downgrading which is common if you don't read forums carefully for steps, I install the PDA part first using Odin... then install again the whole 3 tar files again =)

4.) After installing new firmware, I run preconfig (*#272*IMEI#) then restart mobile.

5.) I connect my SGS to my computer.

6.) Made sure that Odin is closed before running KIES.

7.) Check KIES for updates... no registry hacks =)

thats all ^_^ hope it will help

you can get this rom via samfirmware and just put it on your phone via odin/heimdall(search) or you can alter kies (untechnically spoken) to think that you are from the region where the update is avaible

I have PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JPM / CSC:JP4 because i was to lasy to check for any updates after Froyo hit.

Do i have to update before i can update to Gingerbread or should i be able to update straight from what i have?

Also could someone please make a list of known bugs and fixes for this release?

no i don't think (not 100% sure) you need one if you have everything set up

i wouldn't know why odin should need one
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlexVat:
You don't need ANY data/internet connection to upgrade using Odin;)

You can do it offline without any problem.

Just make sure Kies doesn't run in your tray. Best way to check is using Task Manager if you're on Windows.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] defenderko:
thanks guys!! wich odin I should download? link maybe?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Internet not required for Odin .

Required for Odin is the rom to flash and you would usually need to download that .

Odin does not upgrade Kies is Samsungs tool for official upgrades .

Odin is a tool to flash roms onto a phone replacing firmware .

Difference is upgrade does not usually wipe your settings and data ODIN will .

GB official 2.3.3 JVP

Does the new official GB 2.3.3 contain locked bootloaders ?

I have searched but cannot find a definitive answer.

I read that I should look for boot.bin ( I assume this means to extract ROM and check before flash ? )

Checking after flash would be too late ! Already had to reload .sbl etc for locked bootloaders.

Seems Google / Samsung headed that way.... locked bootloaders ?

Hello everyone,

This is my first posting, because im absolutely clueless what else I can do (normally I can solve such problems by reading through several threads). But I know that you guys have a solution or hint for me:

Following problem: I have a Galaxy S bought in Croatia and I am trying to update to Gingerbread. My procedure looked like this:

Source Version to update from: 2.2.1 (JPY)

I read that i have to spoof the production code and the software revision, so I changed the production code of my phone to XEU via Code *#272something I think.

Via KIES Registry Patcher 1.8.0.0 I made the following changes:

hxxp://wxx.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/160411204045_screenshot1.PNG

After a Restart of KIES it recognizes that there is a new update:

hxxp://wxx.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/160411204227_screenshot2.PNG

But, as soon as KIES tries to download the new Update, it tells me that I already have that version:

hxxp://wxx.pictureupload.de/originals/pictures/160411204328_screenshot3.PNG

What did I do wrong? Or what could be reason for that? I just spent almost 5 hours with searching for several reasons of my failure...

Huge thanks in advance!!!!!

P.S.: Sorry for changing the URLs to the screenshots, but I guess that is a better help for you.

Those thinking about upgrading to this gingerbread update dont do it its terrible!

swyping the notification bar horizontally no longer dims/brightens your screen

The stock browser is dog sh1@%!

The soft menu and back button lights stays stay on when the screen us in use.

You have to do a factory wipe otherwise thee notification bar force closes constantly.

Please dont update to this version its garbage.

Now that I'm stuck on gingerbread can someone tell me if I can root this easily so I can run titanium backup?

Again this update is trash!

Why "upgrade from JVK" ?

I was one of the first to download and flash JVK - 19:00hrs (GMT) 26th March. Rooted, modded, and Its run like a dream for the last 3 weeks, smooth, fast, no FCs and 2 days battery life. I'm absolutely delighted with it.

I've downloaded JVB today plus all files in order to root and modify icons etc.

But I've just decided....I can't be arsed.

I've been reading these threads all day and no one has convinced me of any improvement between JVK and JVB.

Why flash? why restore? why root? why mod?

I've got Gingerbread 2.3.3 running like a dream under JVK....I might flash.....but only because I'm a compulsive flasher.....I really can't see any other reason

lool, you are like me. You are trying to find even a smallest reason so you can convince yourself that JVB is worth to flash. Only advice i can give you, dont fight it.
