[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] devilfromheaven:
HELP!!!

i had just download the XXKPE ROM

and i get a serious problem...

my phone is always restart and delete my contact, msg, and reset my phone...

it keep restart and stop in "SAMSUNG" word...

i must remove the battery to reopen it...

i had try to flash another version...

but the problem came too....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
which was your previous fw?

also mention the steps u had carried out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ss03101991:
hi misledz. i tried flashing xxkpe first using your instructions and it worked flawlessly. didn't hang for like a week till i upgraded to xxkph using your instructions. now what is wrong is it automatically restarts after any random time gap and occassionally enters into a bootloop automatically. i have to take the battery out and restart. then it works till that happens again. i tried going back to xxkpe. but the same problem again. please guide me. it is a very irritating problem. i have tried kpe/kph/kpm and custom roms on kph.. but all have the same problem. please guitar me someone!!! :(

p.s. - i face the same problem as mentioned by devilfromheaven.. i often lose my data and settings when it goes off suddenly and enters a bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] pabreu:
I never said I faced that problem!! Don't jinx me man!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I think you may have restored apps from the Froyo release or something incompatible with the firmware. Do you use TB? If so just let me know.

Also please guitar me? D:?!!?!?

I hope you don't have a factory defect. Try flashing with pit file and everything. Give it a clean start on XXKPM/XXKPN/XXKPH and try and let me know with atleast 5 hours usage without restoring any apps if it happens. If the problem persists, you may have one of the defects
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Bewinxed:
I can't guitar you, but i know 3 guys who could ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mghhLqu31cQ
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ss03101991:
yes. right about the froyo TB thingy man. but i ddnt do that. hey i did something which actually helped. i was using juice defender. i just uninstalled that. that has made my phone more stable. and it's the third day. there are errors but it works fine and better. try that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ss03101991:
but that also just kind of increased the time of the random rebooting. no help really. :(

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

same problem man. from a long time. did you find a solution? if you do please post it. :( :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ganeshbiyer:
Backup the apps and try doing a factory reset.

If that is not solving, then re-flash every thing once again.

But after flashing each rom do a factory reset.

And use the phone without applying any mods (cfroot,deodexing,etc ...) for atleast a day or 2 to see if the problem occurs.

hi can anyone help me.. im from the Philippines.. i want to upgrade my phone to gingerbread.. what version should i flash? or can anyone tell me if Gingerbread in Philippines is officially release? may i know the baseband version? thanks!! ( i cannot connect to kies so i cannot check for updates) thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Just re-read the guide, it shows the "Latest" to the outdated. If your going to wait for GB to be released in PH, that's like waiting for grass to grow :D. Baseband and kies does not matter. XXKPM or XXKPN is upto you whichever you find most comforting.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ss03101991:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] omkarroxx:
hey I have successfully flashed my phone with XXKPH but the problem is phone language is automatically turned into some foreign language which I dont know.. how to change the language.. its urgent please
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
This happens when you don't do the factory data reset & you then wont get option to choose language on 1st boot.

follow this carefully

press left menu key

then settings icon

once in setting menu count upto 11th menu (A is the symbol) click to open

then 1st option is the menu to choose language

Hope this helps you to choose the correct language, if not then I will post the screenshots.

Camera and Music player problem

Thank you for your guide mate..

but I am facing problem with my galaxy sl.. I am not able to open camera and music player.

I tried XXKPE , XXKPH and XXKPM

all of them giving the same damn :(

What is the problem? now I am havin KPM on my fone.. I dont know if there are some other problems too but these two are enough already :(

Update:

NVM. got it to work :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:

It seems you didn't do proper factory reset where the whole problem started.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
That and did you restore system apps via TB? I think that's the cause
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] zak1984:
i've restored it from mybackup root (i use always it, and i've never had a problem like this).

it's app like fruit ninja, cut the rope, ..., all the major app that are on the market.

there's a way i can fix it?

i did a nandroid backup also, but after the flash it has disappeared

Good morning guys, i need to install I9003XIKP2_ITVKP4_Android_2.3.5_Italy firmware. What I have to do?

It is possible install xxkpe and than XIKP2_ITVKP4 like for kpm or kpn, or there will be a problem cause the firmware I need has not ser... product code?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
It's got 4files or 1 pda file?

If one then simply flash over XXKPE or whatever u using.

If 4 then follow the guide of XXKPE to flash it. Simply select your firmware files instead of the ones mentioned in the guide. In short follow the procedure of XXKPE.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Fr@ncesco:
TY, there is just one file...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Cool. Then just flash over your current firmware. (assuming its XXKPE+)

I am currently on GB 2.3.5. I am facing some GPS issues. Not that i need one every day but just noticed its not working. I re-flashed 2.3.5 by following the KPE>KPN method but no luck.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] harshaldesai:
Hello All,

I've updated to I9003XXKPQ But i am not really happy with its battery performance. earlier on i used to get decent battery life 22~24 hrs. But since last 3 days my battery is <15% within 15~17 hrs of useage.

My useage pattern hasnt changed since the upgrade. using the same apps. same data plan etc.

is it advisable to roll back to XXKPH?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Did you calibrate the battery after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] harshaldesai:
Calibrate battery?

How to do that?

Everytime you flash new roms..stock or custom..you should calibraye your battery. It is not necessary but recommended.

Hello guys, i also have an i9003 SL and i cannot manage to update it's firmware. I had 2.2.1 and manage to upgrade to 2.3.4 using the pit and repartition ( developmental build). In Odin i had a file for every field (PIT/Bootloader/PDA/Phone/CSC) checked Re-Partition -> Start and it work.

When i tried using onefile it resulted in a boot loop. Tried different guilds and all had the same result.

Can someone give me some instructions/link on where to download 2.3.5/2.3.6 in multiple files or how to resolve this issue?

P.S. I'm noob so please be explicit,

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Hmmm.. Try to reflash it.. Some says that after flashing XXKP7 and you want to downgrade to another u need to flash that firmware two times..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] srideep:

Since putting the single file (I9003DXKE1_I9003DXKB2_I9003OLBKB2_HOME.tar) in PDA doesnt do anything.

Not able to put mobile into Download mode by pressing Volume Down button and Ok keys followed by holding Power button.

What is it? Rocket science!!!!!!! X-(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] srideep:
Try this. It worked for me:

First switch off your phone, take out the sim card along with the memory card. To start download mode you need to hold down the Volume Down button + the Home key button (the middle button). While holding these both buttons, you need to switch ON your device. If your device restarts normally with home screen then that means download mode have not been initiated, in this case you again need to switch off the device and again you will have to try restarting your device in download mode.

Rollback from Unstable ROM 2.3.4 to 2.2.1

OK Guys

So here is a step by step process for those who got excited with the developers release of 2.3.4 for I9003 and ended up with SOD where your screen goes into deep sleep.

Now if you are trying to flash the old firmware you are getting whole lot of errors...right!!!!

Steps:

For your info your phone is now rooted already due to the pkg we used for 2.3.4. Remove MicroSD and Sim

thereby

1> Flash firmware again the normal way using ODIN with the 2.2.1 version you are comfortable with. Remove battery and phone is now off

2> Volume Up+ Home+ Power Button will take you to the rooted screen...

3> Use volume keys to toggle up and down

4> Wipe all the storage, cache and every damn wipe options

And here you go now the phone loads without problems or Force Closures on Boot.

Press the Thanks button if it helped u.

And Remember all the busy guys like me... Next time when u upgrade Firmware

1> Let others try it out 1st. Esp developers....

2> Most important...do it all on weekends as my biz time got hampered due to this....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:

All roms unstable in my phone

Hey guys need help desperately, i tried almost all roms such as XXKPE, XXKPH,XXKPQ,XXKP7,XWKPG, JPKP5, JPKPE but all of them fail to stabilize on my Galaxy SL i9003. Tried factory resetting, wiping dalvik cache after each installation. I even tried CWM and now I am at Cranium 3.0. They were all stable on the first day but the next day in the morning, my phone was either turned off or restarting itself. When I turn it on again, all my contacts were gone, and i have to select language again like it went on soft reset(i called it soft reset because it resets only my initial set ups like locker screen, vibration intensity of haptic feed back, ringing tone, notification tone, all animations but all programs and login details are still there). I know its not the ROMs anymore. The phone has the problem.Is there anything else that i can do to my phone?

You can try flashing it with the official gb rom from the Philippines.

i dont really know if they will void the warranty, because as far as i know. They will only void it if they found you rooted your phone. I was on xxkpe when i flashed it jpkpe and found no problem. Don't ever flash from updated to outdated. jpkpe is 2.3.6 and a higher version. try this link for jpkpe.
