Hi question why is there a separate section for modem? "Modem/Phone/Baseband firmwares section". Where did they come from, they're not part of a complete FW package(3 files)?

I see a lot of people using the XXJVU, is it safe for me to flash it, right now using GB 2.3.6 XWJVZ/XXJVT/OXXJV9/Sbl (MultiCSC) with ICSSGS 4.2?

Do I need to wipe anything in CWM or do I have to start with a fresh ROM?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Black Rose:
It's because people can mix and match ROMs with different modems.

For example I am running the JW1 XEN Netherlands ROM with the Bell Canada KG3 modem.

It's a way to get an updated ROM and still having connectivity with your carrier, especially if your carrier uses special frequencies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ggravier:
Hello!

I've tried flashing my GT-I9000 with several firmwares, but every time I flash with a firmware above 2.3.3 I get flaky WiFi connectivity. I.E. the WiFi connects, but then drops every now and then, then reconnects. Of course applications doing downloads don't like that.

Reverting to 2.3.3 systematically fixes this.

Anybody notice this behavior? Find a way (other than reverting to 2.3.3) to fix it?

Cheers,

Gilles
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Black Rose:
The version of 2.3.3 that my carrier provided has the wi-fi issue.

I am now running JW1 and the wi-fi issue is gone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LiverpoolFCfan:
This has been well documented.

Firmware versions above 2.3.3 do not like "Reserved IP Addresses" or "Infinite Leases" on Router DHCP settings.

If your problem is with public wi-fi hotspots it would be very unusual as only badly configured hotspots would give out indefinite leases.

Assuming the problem is with a router you have control over - set your address lease time to a finite number - 1 day/2 days/whatever ... just don't use a Reserved address for your Galaxy - or don't use a lease length of 0 which some routers use for infinite.

GB 2.3.4 Middle East firmware (Arabic) JPJVC is up. This is a MutiCSC firmware, it includes Daily Briefing too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxbeanxx:
My wife is using the latest bell rom and has this issue. Disabling 3G when on wifi makes it go away. I have the exact same phone running the CM9 alpha and don't have any issue whatsoever.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

In my (wife's) case my router has neither reserved IP addresses nor infinite leases.

Does:

Contain the Nordic region in the CSC as well?. I know its called NEE for the SGS2, but unaware whether Samsung uses the same naming convensions for the SGS or they changed the names for them.

I am asking because a user on a forum I am on has approached me for help in regards to upgrading her SGS and seeing as we are both from Denmark I want to give her the most complete and official Samsung Rom for her SGS, meaning Nordic languages (and thus danish) as well as whatever icons or programs that samsung has decided are to be included for a "danish" SGS.

So have I chosen the right version to download and flash for her, or is there another version that is more appropriate under the conditions I have specified?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
NEE and XEE are the Nordic CSC codes, XWJVH is the latest for XEE and NEE so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MeX_DK:
Got a link for the XWJVH one in that case?. Needs to be a non-wipe one as its not my phone I am flashing....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
No, I only have three files firmwares.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MeX_DK:
Anyone else who has a link to that firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hackeron:
?? whats the problem.. Read the first post.. DOwnload what u want.. install.. Done.. u need JVH ,xee firmware.. and take the csc

Why do you need the 1 file?

If for some strange reason u want the ONE file.. go here: http://www.sammobile.com/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andoceo:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] MeX_DK:
Sammobile only does wipe firmwares. I need non-wipe....

And XWJW1 is latest nordic firmware, but 1: is it non-wipe and 2: how I get it with latest xee csc, or where can I find the latest non-wipe xee csc pack?. Because if I have a non wipe XWJW1 and a non-wipe xee csc i can flash it with Odin myself...

Download and use Checkfus downloader: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032437

Download the firmware you want, all these informations are on the first post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MeX_DK:
CheckFus uses SamMobile does it not?. Sammobile is wipe roms and I need non-wipe ones. As I am not about to go flash someones phone and wipe it.

What i need is the latest Nordic rom for the I9000 Nordic region with XEE CSC as non-wipe.

Edit:

And in CheckFUS I can't select the rom I want. If I choose region then the rom it suggests is wrong. So CheckFUS is not doing what I want or expect it to. So I would be more then happy if someone could link me to a working non wipe version of XWJW1 as well as a non-wipe version of the latest XEE CSC and I am well pleased so I can flash both using Odin. Ie in compliance with "GT-I9000HKDNEE".

The user is Danish, but choosing danish as the region links a branded CSC, with an too old rom version :/. And the 2 nordic ones listed are not JW1 either but JM2 >_<

[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You made a very big deal of an easy process without even trying. No, Checkfus has nothing to do with Sammobile.

*There is no guarantee that the firmware will not wipe /dbdata.

*You should check if you can enter download mode in the device before downloading the firmware.

*Get Checkfus downloader

*Select the firmware you want to download based on CSC

*Extract the zip file when the file is downloaded and decrypted and flash the extracted tar file as PDA, no pit and no repartition.

*Done

I flashed the latest JW1, with multi csc and then semaphore kernel,

everything seems good but I have troubles with the fonts, not the size but the intensity,

just as in a lcd screen clear type is off.

I can barely read in the browser, whatapp or whatever,

tried some fonts online but still cant get it right,

any help?

Previous rom was a 2.3.5 stock with semaphore.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] samsungy:
I have a Bell Canada Galaxy S I9000M Vibrant and I flashed it with the stock rom provided above for North America:

North America (I9000M)

PDA/Modem/CSC:

UGKG3/UGKG3/BMCKG3/Sbl (MultiCSC): Download (141 MB) (Build date: Tue Jul 19 18:18:04 KST 2011)

(MultiCSC: BMC, BWA, VMC)

The phone works like a charm, no problem at all. Only Kies does not allow any updates for this stock rom!

I believe it is the Korean version because when I open Kies, in front of UGKG3 firmware, it reads (KOR). See photo.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Black Rose:
That's the one and only Gingerbread release for Bell Canada and Virgin i9000m phones. There has been nothing since for Bell Canada, so Kies is correct in saying there are no updates.

Weird that it thinks it's a Korean phone tho.

What Locale is the phone set to?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] samsungy:
Kies doesn't say that there are no updates. It says: "Your device

does not support

software upgrading via Kies." See attached photo in my original post above.

Locale is set to English(Canada).

Please advise. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Enter the following in the device dialer:

*#272*IMEI#

Choose the CSC you want to install then hit INSTALL. The device will reboot and install the requested CSC code. The device will be reset so make a backup of your data/apps if needed before proceeding.

Beware:

IMEI: The IMEI number of your device.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] samsungy:
I have never manipulated CSC files and I am afraid I screw it up. The CSC file that came in the stock rom I flashed it with is BMCKG3.

If I follow your instructions, how should I know which CSC is right for me in Canada so that Kies allows me to update?

please explain. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You have already flashed a firmware before that did not include CSC: BMC, this is why it defaulted to KOR.

My earlier post is the only way to restore the CSC code to BMC, you can do it or not, that's up to you. You asked and I gave you the answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] samsungy:
Thanks a million, Ramad.

I will back up my files and will change the CSC.

Much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Black Rose:
BMC is the CSC for Bell Mobility

If you flashed the UGKG3 firmware with all 3 files, you should already have the BMC CSC set.

Did you only flash the PDA portion?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] samsungy:
Yes, I did flash all 3 files. So, like you said, I must have the BMC CSC!

I am confused now. If I have flashed the correct CSC, then why Kies doesn'y allow software upgarding? What is this "KOR" that Kies shows when it identifies my firmware?

You know what, the only thing that I can think of, is that just before flashing, I DID NOT do a factory reset. Can it be the culprit?

I had the latest Darky's Rom v.10.2 Extreme edition before I fash to Bell Canada stock rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxbeanxx:
Flashing the CSC doesn't automatically set your phone to that CSC. You need to switch to it after flashing the files by using a phone code.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] samsungy:
You were right. I went back and chose the correct CSC for Canada which is BMC. Now Kies allows software upgrades.

Thanks guys!

please advice.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] CatalystWon:
Canada has more than one CSC code.

CSC or Consumer Software Customization, is also called Sales Code, and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding, as well as APN settings for data connection and MMS for your service provider.

Bell's Samsung KG3 contains CSC for BMC (Bell Mobility), VMC (Virgin Mobile), and BWA (Saskatel).

If you have installed a Kernel with CWM but it can't root the device then it's because it cannot copy Superuser.apk, this is an application but what you need is only a file called 'su' to be copied to /system/bin, when you have this file there then your device is rooted. The file is so small that I don't think that your device does not have a space for it, however feel free to try flashing the file 'su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip' using CWM, this is the binary file and it's all that you need to gain root.

Download the zip file below, this is a straight forward flash and will not display anything fancy during the flash, but this is what you get when I use 20 seconds on my desktop to make it, let me know if it works. :)

Just updated 2.3.3 KG3 -> 2.3.6 JW1

Special thanks to Black Rose for his personal assistance and thanks to to vanisleryan for his clear posts.

Here are some issues I encountered:

1) When I officially updated via Kies from Froyo to KG3, my 3-button Download/Recovery became 2-button procedures, ie: Download became Vol Down + Power, and Recovery became both volume buttons + Power. (Home button completely removed from procedure)

With JW1, the original 3-button procedures are back. (Home button is back in)

2) I had boot-loops until I managed to get into CWM recovery and wipe/reset everything.

QUESTIONS:

1) I've restored all my apps and data but the Go Launcher widgets wouldn't restore? How does one backup/restore these?

2) Is is possible to get the 2-button recovery back in place of the more cumbersome 3-button recovery?

Thanks! :)

MODEM links on your websites are WRONG. Latest XEN and AUT firmwares XWJW5 features XXJW4 modem (see my links with original ZIP files from KIES), but on your websites when I click on XEN or AUT MODEM I am getting something which looks like outdated XXJVT modem :

but both XEN and AUT you mention are on site ...

about modems and kernels: as you said modem is taken from firmware so it is correct for sure maybe naming is taken from wrong place by some typo in the code - we will review that

kernels - mate have you ever flahed zImage ? :) i guess not :)))
