you can combine i9000XWJW5 with CSC from other XW* firmwares

you can combine i9000XXJW4 with CSC from other XX* firmwares

it is not recomended to mix XW firmware with CSC from XX* firmware with and vice verse.

mixing XW with XX can work partially : swype will get new languages, but not system keyboard.

Not sure about Froyo and Gingerbread compatiblity, probably this is not a problem, but if you can find - use CSC from GB.

GT-I9000_XEU_2_20120405163220_20w22lfbqs.zip.enc2

today another XXJW4 firmware XEU received new CSC - OXAJW5

old : XXJW4 / OXAJW4 / XXJW4

new : XXJW4 / OXAJW5 / XXJW4

there is no difference except CSC, you can find OXAJW4 / OXAJW5 comparison of here:

http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1622676/

and one more region XEH release of XWJW5 with OXXJVC CSC and I9000XXJW4 modem, same as here:

http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1608863/

GT-I9000_XEH_1_20120405171400_3t7bzp1rs9.zip.enc2

as you can see XXJW4 and XWJW5 updates released at the same time, Samsung decided to not update JW4 base rom, so it is considered stable enough. XWJW5 may be a little bit newer and more stable, but difference is not critical.

@Ramad or others, please:

Can I update a friend's Galaxy S i9000T (Claro, Latin America) straight from 2.1 to latest 2.3.6 Value Pack "JW5" using this guide and firmwares ??

(I have already downloaded "odin" and your GT_I9000_XWJW5_XDJV1_OXXJVC_Sbl.7z file from first post, just awaiting your advice to proceed)

I've been here @ xda-devs forums for a while (HTC and Sony phones), but this is my first approach to the Samsung world, so I must confess I'm slightly confused with all this odin, kies, CSC, PIT, etc stuff, I have a lot to read :D

THANKS IN ADVANCE and keep up the good stuff mate, great job !! :)

Guys could you please help me out!

I have been flashing all kinds of ROMs

Stock

There is a big problem, the Home button doesn't work when the Phone is "ON" but I can get into download mode or Recovery Mode using either 3 button combos when the phone is "OFF".

So why isn't the Home Button working when the phone is "ON" ??

Is there a solution to this?

FYI sadly I don't have a CWMBackup of the phone!! i know! sad!

just flashed XXJW5 and got a bootloop but after checked the re-partition

it just goes well and fine now...

XXJW5 or XWJW5 ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zlatan_61:
Hi guys, I have a question. I'm on CM7 now (actually my gfs phone) and I want to get to the stock value pack rom, but there are three combinations of the 3.3.6 rom and I dont know which one to choose? I'm in Sweden if that makes any difference. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] O-T:
Some ROM chefs (*hark* Doctorz) was rather murky about either as well in what ROM they based on.

Does XXJW5 even exist?

The two letters X and W ain't that similar looking? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] O-T:
There are actually several combinations as you can mix & match any PDA+MODEM+CSC.

Usually PDA type XW*** have Swe/Nor UI-language and CSC type XEE*** include Nordic APN (tele2, tre, telenor,...) for mms/mobile data setup.

Use flash instructions with PIT & REPARTITION

PIT = 512.PIT

PDA = XWJW6 or XWJW5 or XWJW1

MODEM = XWJW1 or XXJVU or XXJVT or XXJW4

CSC = XEEJV3

Won't hurt to click thanks... (promise)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ewiq:
I tried both XWJW5 and XWJW6. I figure it works fine, and I like the updated TW and performance.

However, battery life seems worse in XWJW6 than in XWJW5 I believe. Is this because of the modem.bin being worse somehow?

I live in nordic area/sweden, should I go with XXJVE XXJVK or XXJVO, or even something else?

Oh right, is there a way to get apps stop bothering me with "low battery" when I really don't give a soaking rats ass about it? I know there's a hacked camera.apk for that, but is there something nifty you can do about all samsung apps, this is what bring stock roms down. Why? because I might get injured and need help and I may not listen to music because Samsung is concerned?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vidvan:
Hi Ramada,

Can you post cwm flashable XWJW1 modem for latest PDA xwjw6.

Can you add a section in your modem post with cwm flashable modems.

Most of the custom roms are cwm flashable,hence it would be useful if we have cwm flashable modem section.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] O-T:
@vidvan

Google for "Perka's file stash" and get your cwm modem,

or grab modem.bin from a ROM and use Heimdall instead of Odin to flash by USB method.

Won't hurt to click thanks... (promise)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vidvan:
I could not find the xwjw1 modem in perka's file trash.

Going back to Kies

I am planning to sell my Galaxy S and therefore I want to get it back on the official update path.

Right now I am running Dark Knight 5.5 (ICS 4.0.4).

There was time when you had to flash some older firmware to get the device working with Kies again and then to be able to do the offical upgrade. Is the procedure still like that? If yes, which version should I use? Or is the newest XWJW5 identical to that Version I would get with Kies?

I am planning to go "back" to the latest gingerbread with that value pack thingy. As stocky as possible.

Flashing Semphore 2.7.4 to XWJW5 Problems

Hey everyone.

I've installed the XWJW5 Europe ROM using the 512.pit file as when I didn't do the re-partition the install fails.

I'm trying to root and install CWM using Semaphore kernel.

When I flash Semaphore 2.7.4.tar using Odin3 1.82 (PDA section), it says FAIL on the top and it corrupts the ROM and I have to re-flash the whole ROM again.

Would it work if I rename Semaphore kernel to update.zip and installed it on the phone that way?

or is there any other solution to this problem? Thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
XWJW6, CSC:OPS is added

Try to flash again using 2 stages.

1: Repartition using Odin by selecting the pit file ONLY and make sure 'repartition' is checked, you can use 803.pit to make sure the device changes the partitions sizes.

Unplug and take the battery out when done, replace the battery and re-enter the download mode.

2: Flash the three files without with NO pit and NO repartition.

See how it goes.

First off, many thanks for that great collection and walkthrough

Now I have a question:

I'm planning on flashing JVO, through Odin with no repartition

I'm running GB 2.3.3 XXJVK on my SGS GTi9000 but my phone is already rooted, I have CWM and Superuser installed

Is this going to cause any problems when I flash the JVO?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] karanits:
I just upgraded my phone with jv6 from the OP. I had rooted my phone when i was on froyo. Now I see 'root@' and some text in my kernel info in about phone. does that mean my phone is still rooted?

when i type su in terminal ...it says su not found

now how to flash the real stock version?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
I too think that it is a provider firmware, I might make a provider firmware section, let's see. :)

You loose root every time you flash a stock firmware, you need to root again.

Glad that I could help.

Every time you flash a stock firmware then you will loose root, to root GB firmwares follow the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karanits:
[Ramad] thanks, you cleared a lot of things for me! so I can say that I dont have root.

but it bugs me to see root 'root@' text in kernel version in about phone. is that for all kernels including stock and it in not related to phone being rooted or not?

Just asking out of curiosity..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nadram:
Thanks a bunch bro! and for the GB root thread link ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
The 'root@....' is related to the computer that Samsung employees have used to compile the Kernel, it should be read as:

root : user name

DELLXXX or whatever: Computer name

You would know that if you have used Linux and the command console.

#X: this is the compilation try number, i.e. #2 means that the Kernel you are using has been compiled 2 times and the second one is released.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vassagoxda:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sanjg2k1:
Shame that Indian Version of Gingerbread that doesn't support Hindi.

I have Samsung Galaxy S. I have installed DDJV6 using Kies over JP6. But I am feeling absolutely cheated by Samsung as this so called 'Indian Release' does not support any Hindi or Indic fonts. I am talking about reading Hindi text. As far as text input is concerned, Hindi is not even shown as a data input language. Shame on Samsung that it cannot use the inherent features of Gingerbread! There were a lot of tall claims that Gingerbread would support 52 languages (both for reading and writing) and here is this Samsung that it can't even render Indic reading capabilities in Galaxy S based on Android 2.3.3.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
I was surprised too that it was an English firmware that was released as Indian, you Indian Galaxy S users should ask questions, send e-mails and talk load to Samsung, otherwise nothing will change.

Excuse my noob-ness but is that an advantage to re-partitioning the device?

I've read that you only really need to repartition if u've severely mucked up the device.

Also a quick question about combining the different firmwares, it should be fine if i combine:

CSC-XSAJV8

PDA-XWJW5

I really want to know why they suspended my account when I only have Samsung Galaxy S firmwares on my account, I don't think they care about the material that I'm sharing on XDA and I don't think they will take time replay or to look at what they have done by destroying this thread.
