It was working initially and then it became sporatic and then just stopped. This is on three phones. I removed the accounts, deleted them on the mail server and still no go.

Anyway MailDroid FREE works like a champ. I liked it so much that I purchased it and it works FAST. I also installed it on my EVO, it works so much better than the stock app feature and performance wize.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
First guys, sorry if I'm in the wrong section or repeat thread. I just got a Galaxy i9000m from Bell with 2.1 on it and I've passed two nights reading threads and I'm confused. I only have a mac and kies doesn't work for me. I just rooted it and I've download Rom Manager. From now, can I load any roms with Rom manager? I mean can I put a 2.3 rom on internal sd card and load it with RM and it will install? Thanks for any advise, I'll keep searching but i'm so confused and I'm afraid of bricking it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
quick answer... no

you need to be able to update things like bootloaders etc... this usually only happens using kies or odin... I do not have a mac so I cannot answer on how you can update, but i know you cannot do it just on your phone.. a bell mobile store will update it for you if you take it in, it only takes a few mins.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Thanks a lot for your time!!! You def stopped me from bricking it. I was lost :confused:

I don't want to bother you but do you know if I can upgrade directly from 2.1 to 2.3? Just to be sure, things I need is the rom, a FW with bootloaders, a kernel, install all this with Odin? I may try your configuration with Juwe's since we have the same phone. thanks again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
I'm not sure about going right from 2.1 to 2.3 but it is maybe worth your while to go to 2.2 and then to 2.3.. it's like a whole extra 5 mins. Just setup an account at Samfirmware.com

Get the i9000UGKC1 downloaded... it is the Bell stock 2.2 flash to that first... and un-root your phone using superoneclick. Quick reading tips to look-up

-how to get 850 modem back (important for bell users)

-flashing modems only

-Superoneclick

-Gingerbread bootloaders

Do alot of reading about gingerbread roms before you upgrade, this ROM is good that I'm on... you just have to make sure you flash a stock JVH with bootloaders or it will mess something up.. not sure what, I just followed the directions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
thanks for the tip!!! So I always have to be unroot to flash a firmware (2.1 to 2.2)?

I'm gonna stick to 2.2 for now. But I have a question...I download the i9000gkc1 FW and the pit 512. But am I supposed to have a PDA, CSC, and PHONE to put in Odin? Cause I only have i9000gkc1_homebinary.tar and if I extract it, it only gave me files like modem.bin, sbl.bin, factoryfs.rfs...

Million thanks!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
For 2.2 alot of the stock firmwares there is only one file, the PDA. This file contains the modem and csc files... this is not the case with 2.3

So just flash the PIT and the PDA and flash the pda as the .tar file
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Heimdall works fine on mac. But really can't you just use a friend's windows PC for 15 minutes to upgrade with kies? It's by far the easiest way to upgrade to KC1 (2.2)

2.3.3 isn't released yet in Canada so it's not available through kies (at least not without a hack)

If you want to flash 2.3.3, I would use the gingerbread starter (flash it trough heimdall, kernel and boot loaders only) and then flash any 2.3.3 ROM through clockworkmod recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Super!! I'm gonna try that. Do you know if I should un-root before installing this 2.2 FW? Do I have to check re-partition? thanks again my friend!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
thanks!!! I used my friend's pc but I wasn't able to install kies...always get an internet error. I might try with another one but I think I'm gonna use Odin since I heard kies has a lot of bugs. After installing 2.2, I'll def check for your GB starter tip. Thx for your help!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadoslayer:
You can flash from 2.1 or 2.2 right to 2.3 without a "starter", the phone doesn't care. This is assuming you're flashing with odin or heimdall. If you're flashing a cooked rom from the development section, then it might not hurt...

Having said that, I've flashed 2.1, flashed speedmod and restored a 2.3 cwm backup and it has always worked fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
he has to make sure he gets the 2.3 bootloaders
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Thanks guys for all your help!! I really appreciate! Now I will update 2.1 to 2.2 using Odin but can you check if I'm doing it right or missing something.

So I have the FW i9000GKC1_homebinary.tar that I would place in PDA in Odin. I'll put the the 512 pit in the PIT in Odin. Start the process.

- Should I UN-check the re-partition box?? The only things checked are auto-reboot and F. reset time...?

- Should I unroot it before flashing?

- Do I remove my sim card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
Alot of people suggest removing your ext-sd and SIM (I hardly ever do)but it's not a bad practice

I usually check re-partition with 512 pit and always leave reboot and Freset checked

you do not need to un-root, after flash your phone will be un-rooted and you will need to use superoneclick program to root phone. Just search for it in the forum/google/youtube
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Exactly, and I would also make sure to upgrade boot loaders when upgrading to KC1. The i9000m had issues with some old boot loaders (like no download mode or scdard failures)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
I should upgrade bootloaders for 2.2?? I dont really know what bootloaders are exactly for. If I need it before installing 2.2, can you tell me which one do I need? You guys lost me :p I use Odin3 v.1.7 and I have no bootloader box. I downloaded v.1.82 that has Bootloader option but I think its for another device version, no? Are you guys talking about that or the little square box "phone bootloader update"? I was ready to go but now I'm not so sure....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
There are two files sbl.bin (secondary boot loader) and boot.bin (primary boot loader). When you upgrade with KIES the bootloaders get updated too.

You can use heimdall on your Mac to update to KC1 with the boot loaders. But sometimes when you download a ROM the boot loaders aren't included so check that first.

With ODIN 1.7 you should see this:

Yes you have to check the boot loader check box. But You must still check that sbl.bin and boot.bin are in your tar file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
thanks!!! So I unrar my .tar file and I only have Sbl.bin, modem.bin, factoryfs.rfs, cache.rfs, param.lfs, zimage. I don't have the boot.bin file you told me. Can I still check the "phone BL udpate" box or it won't work? What should I do at this point?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Hum, probably that there is no need for a primary bootloader update for KC1 then. You can still check it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
CRAP!!! I flash it but it tells me succeed 1/failed 1. Now it boots, shows the galaxy s i9000m logo, then goes to the big S logo and turns has a black screen.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
can you boot in download mode? (vol down + home + power)

I think you should flash modem and CSC. Especially since you repartitionned.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Yes I can, what if I only flash the PIT file and the PDA file with re-partition uncheck and phone bootloader update uncheck?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
I would not repartition (so you don't need the pit file)

Just flash PDA, phone and CSC. I am pretty sure the problem is that you didn't include phone and csc in the first place.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Well I only have a file that I load at samfirmware, its a .tar file that I think include the csc, modem inside. I tried to re-flash only the PDA with .tar file with re-partition uncheck and it says succeed but it reboot in recovery mode and says can't mount dev /block/stl110. if i reboot it does the same thing with black screen shaking...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
you have to put 3 times the same tar file in ODIN

modem is important, and CSC maybe is too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
You want to flash the .tar file, don't un-rar it... flash the whole .tar file
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
I HAVE FIXED IT!!!! What I did is download another UGKC1 with no bootloaders with the 3 files inside (pda, phone, csc). Then I placed the files in Odin with the PIT 512 and I check re-partition and left uncheck "phone bl update" and it worked. I tested download mode and it worked!!!

Thank you very much guys for your help and tip!! You help me to understand more since I was lost about all that stuff. Now I can follow more actual/up to date tutorials to upgrade to 2.3

But since I dont update the bootloaders, what am I missing? Will I have problem if go to 2.3 without bootloaders?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
I've had this problem before

1. download a 2.1 from samfirmware and flash that(I suggest JH2) Click repartition, use .512 pit and only the PDA in the .tar format

2. Enter recovery mode, wipe and format every option

3. go back into download mode and flash UGKC1 again... select 512 pit, repartition and .tar for the pda (DO NOT SELECT BOOTLOADERS)

should fix your problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
That bootloader option in ODIN is if you are flashing bootloaders by themselves which is not recomended by anybody

To go to 2.3 (I suggest JVH) make sure you get a copy that contains the bootloaders in the .tar file (I beleive sbl.bin is what it's called, but don't quote me)

STILL DO NOT CHECK BOOTLOADERS

A full flash in ODIN will update them when you flash the firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Thanks guys!!!! is JVH a base that I have to flash only with PDA to go at 2.3 and then enables me to flash a custom rom like Juwes? Then if I want to flash the kernel like ChainFire 3.2, I use Odin and put it in PDA too.

From what I read it looks like that, I may also be completely wrong..hehe
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
ROMs are usually distributed in two forms: Odin and CWM.

You are already familiar with Odin ROMs. It's a tar file that you flash with Odin or Heimdall in download mode.

But most custom ROMs are distributed in the second way. They are zip files that you put on your SD card. You boot your phone in recovery mode and then apply the update zip file. However, you need a custom recovery (the most famous being ClockWordMod) that allows you to flash unsigned zip files for that.

To answer your question, no, JVH is a full stock rom. And it's originally in the Odin format, though there are some less official but still stock JVH in the CWM format.

So if you want to flash a custom gingerbread rom, which is probably in the CWM format, you have three options:

1. Flash the full JVH with Odin, flash a custom kernel (again with Odin) that include a hacked recovery, boot in recovery and flash your custom ROM

2. Flash the gingerbread starter with Odin, boot in recovery and flash your custom ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047924

3. Find or make your own Odin-flashable custom ROM and flash it in a single step. Make sure you include the gingerbread boot loaders.

option 2 is faster than option 1. Option 3 is the most direct but also probably the hardest.

You my want to keep the KC1 modem. Or with the JVO modem there are some steps to make so that you keep the 850 MHz band.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
wow thanks!!!

I'm gonna try the option 2. But I have a question...So I load the SpeedMod K13e file then gives me the .tar.md5 that I'll flash with Odin. In instructions, it says : 8. Wait until phone reboots and make it reboot into Recovery

9. Flash your Gingerbread ROM.

At 8. can I just let it boot normally and install my rom in intSD card, restart in Recovery Mode, then flash?

So after can I put the Juwes 4.3.1 rom in my intSd card, boot in RM flash it. If I want to install the ChainFire 3.2 kernel, I must use Odin and place it in PDA or I already have a kernel in the GB starter?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
to get juwes.

1. Use Odin and Flash JVH (I am pretty sure it is 512 pit and partition checked) Phone will reboot <- No stock recovery screen

2. Use odin Flash CF kernel (One in my sig, juwe site says which one as well, needs to be XEE I believe) phone will reboot

3. Download Juwe rom put on internal SD and install via recovery

Just search Juwe and read that forum for way more info.

EDIT: P.S. I never used that starter method, because if you flash JVH with odin (that contains bootloaders) then you have the bootloaders when JVH is done flashing..... and still NO need to check box bootloaders option in odin, that is for a bootloader file only (not recommended)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Thanks!!! Ok, but I was wondering if I can install via zorxd's way with the gingerbread starter. But I might tried your method as everybody is flashing this way I guess...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlockhart:
Honestly I never tried Zorxd way.., and not to insult him, but he also told you earlier to check bootloaders when flashing 2.2 via odin... and I have never heard of that before...

I just know I did it my way as per a lot of forums and it takes maybe 5-10 mins total time, first flash takes the longest the rest are 30 seconds each... and I have never had a problem

Just follow Juwe site, that is where I got "my" method.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
Thank you!! I 'll try your method as it is the classical one. Do you know if I have to check the "phone bootloader update" flashing to 2.3 when the JVH contains bootloaders?

Is it the good JVH I have to download? This one is 300mb with 3 files inside (not sure) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1066040&highlight=JVH+firmware

I found another one 180mb with only 1 file .tar...whats the best one?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
It didn't work but I am pretty sure it's because he didn't flash modem and CSC. His bootloader is fine or his phone wouldn't work.

You can read the gingerbread starter page. It's written to check bootloaders update, so it's nothing that I invented. And it's neither dangerous or not recommended. It's as dangerous as any bootloader update, no matter how you do it. But my first choice was still to use kies to update to KC1. My second choice was to NOT repartition (I never did it and never had problems). So you can't really say he followed my advices. But I am not insulted, don't worry.

Now, your method is good to. It's what I described as option #1. Longer, but more classic.

I did option #2 myself and it worked fine. I went from KC1 to JVH this way.

No, if you still want to do #2, your better to put your ROM on the intSD first.

I don't think you will be able to boot in normal mode after you flashed the starter. What I did is that I uploaded my ROM while in recovery. But it's even better if you do it before flashing the starter.

Thanks!!! I'm still reading since I don't want to screw it again hehe. Anyway, thanks guys so much for your help, it's great to be backup by knowledgeable people like you!!! I think I'm gonna go with the classical method for this time since I'm still a big noob :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
So I downloaded two JVH. First one has 1 file .tar and has boot.bin & sbl.bin inside. Bootloaders are include inside. So if I use this one, should I flash the PIT 512 and check "repartition" and "phone BL update". ANd the .tar as PDA?

Second One is JVH with the 3 files (PDA, PHONE,CSC,w/PIT include). Should I do like I did...no bootloaders, repartiion checked, phone BL update unchecked?

The things ive read that bothers me is the modem with 850mhz that I may lose, how to keep the KC1 one? And I think I have to upgrade bootloaders to move 2.2. to 2.3...Installing JVH is my only concern after that I'm good to go!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
Personally I don't see why you would need to repartition (so no need for pit file at all)

Just don't flash the modem if you want to keep KC1.

Does the second PDA include the boot loaders?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
I don't know how to verify. But how to not install the new modem? Do I uncompress the .tar and delete the modem.bin and recompress in .tar and flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
To verify : just open the tar file in your favorite archiver.

To not install the modem, just don't check the "phone" option in Odin and do not specify any file. You can flash PDA and CSC only if you want.

Heimdall is clearer than Odin on that. You just specify which file you want to flash, individually, no tarball.

heimdall flash --factoryfs <filename> --cache <filename> --dbdata <filename> --primary-boot <filename> --secondary-boot <filename> --param <filename> --kernel <filename>

just omit the --modem <filename> part and you don't flash the modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
I verify and I have the boot.bin and sbl.bin in the second PDA. So it has bootloaders. So to keep my modem KC1. I use the 3 files except I don't use the PHONE box. So PIT 512, PDA, CSC, repartition check. Is it good?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
I wouldn't use the PIT file, and no repartition but the rest seems fine.

I think the phone boot loaders update must be there for a reason (personally I would check it) but maybe it's true that your bootloaders will be updated even if you don't check it.

As I said I used Heimdall, not Odin, so I can't tell. With Heimdall you specify the boot loaders file individually, not a PDA tarball.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcnoob:
thanks!! I just put the 3 files except PHONE, PIT, no repartition like you said and its working well, the modem stayed KC1 and everything seems to working fine. Now I'm ready to enter in custom rom world. Big thanks to you guys!!!

Very cool review, thanks for that. Two questions:

1) Was your audio popping, with that first track you played? I don't think so, as it wasn't with the other tracks, but the pops didn't sound in time with the music.

2) Could you try playing a game of some description over MyNet? I'm curious to see how laggy it is. (I know there's a Portal 2 one, but that's not the best)

[Desire HD General] ayau:
In fact I had the same problem, and you don't need to uninstall swype in the end, just click 'Generate Lisense' and follow the steps there.

I couldn't get my stock keyboard to work when I got to the step where I had to type in my username and password, then I realised the installer has actually frozen, so I force closed it and reopen it to type things in. Done.
[Desire HD General] jgibbons1:
I've had a similar issue before. Just download the gingerbread keyboard.apk and reinstall it.
[Desire HD General] NefariousNipple:
I think this is likely an issue with swype considering your license to be duplicated after the update, and blocking the use of it (the identifier for your license is probably tied to the software version you are on).
