[Galaxy S I9000 General] Montala:
Thanks to [Ramad] for a most interesting post.

I am not sure now which 'version' of XXJVQ I originally used, but I intend to 'reflash' my Galaxy S with the version released by Samsung, to which he kindly provided the links.

It probably isn't strictly necessary, but I would rather feel safe than sorry, as I am not what you would call a 'power user' anyway! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
I think that you are missing the point of my post.

I will not be laying any theories, I did ask questions and you can see and check by your self if you want that the files are different, and since the leaked firmwares files came from the same source then it's better for me to drop them all, this is what I do, I'm not asking anybody to do what I do.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brotuck:
@ ramad nice post, but i guess i am missing the point of the post at all ?

Why should leaked firmwares be identical to the originals ?

What should i conclude from your post ?

-Trustworthy ? Heh it is leaked...

-Stable ? There are user reports on that, because everybody uses the leaked firmwares anyway

-Spam ? If that was the case, we already would have known anyway

-Spyware ? see above

-Virus ? see 2 above :D

-F*cked up the phone ? No it did not

-Different cache ? Who cares..

So in conclusion, nice compare but i think that it's just plain paranoia to think that there is something wrong with leaked firmwares.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lunasea:
Hi Ramad,

I sincerely respect your contribution to the community, so don't take me wrong if I say that your posts on this thread about this subject are generating more confusion than enlightenment.

As far I can see, drawing my conclusions from your post, both PDA/CODE and MODEM are the same on the leaked and on the official release, right?

When you first posted about the aka false csc file, one of my first worries was that PDA/CODE could be also fake/altered without the means to be checked.

Am I right to say that in you last post you confirmed that leaked PDA (and PHONE) matches the JVQ official release?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Yes, you are missing the whole point, 2 file made for the same firmware at the same date and time and have the same size but are not the same...explain to me please..

I have a better question, why would Samsung release XXJVQ and the source files are for 2.3.4 are not released at there open source center yet, to my understanding XXJVQ has been released through Kies 3 days ago, what kind of emergency is this?

I did hash all files as you did read, PDA and modem files are identical. factoryfs.rfs cannot be flashed if modified, I think that any Linux user can agree with that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Guys, I did write what I wanted to write and I did show how I did the whole check, I have no more to say for now regarding XXJVR or the leaked 2.3.4 firmwares, take my words or ignore them, I'm not trying to convince any of you of what I think. You are all free to think and believe of whatever you like.

I wish you all a nice day/evening :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
yay =) throw a nuke and keep on walking hehhe
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
Actually, Samsung Open source release center released the source code of XXJVQ at the same time Kies offered the firmware. Hence why custom kernels have working auto-brightness.

factoryfs.rfs can be modified by using an ISO editor. However, I'm not sure if there are signature checking mechanisms(I'm guessing no? as there are a few custom ROMs out there that uses factoryfs.rfs, not the SGS though)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
I want what I write or say to mean something, spamming is not my job. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxbeanxx:
This is false, I have modified the factoryfs.rfs file many times prior to flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lunasea:
I do believe you are sharing your concerns with good intentions, nevertheless without proper conclusions they tend to be less (if any) useful. Don't need to get annoyed, don't think anyone is trolling you here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mk_ln:
I've only started to flash non-official kies firmware, but Ramad's post made me wonder: have all other leaks that later became official had the same situation?

i.e.

and also have the cache.rfs have a diff checksum?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
My common sense is telling me that I should start suspecting something fishy when phone or modem md5 is different, not the CSC, because it's irrelevant.

Maybe a bit of paranoia here, but no biggie, thanks for your check up and clarification, everyone can flash what he wants anyway, beauty of the system we all adore here :]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rocky23:
@ ramad

:)

what u showd is totally rite,wen the hash is diff it means ether the files r diff or may b its manipulated..as i said in my post its not genuine.....and for me personally ,,we sign into google acc so its like ur making ur imp data an info open.....so what if black hat or good hacker has done it...so ur info is going to tht person....so this is jus my thought an like ramad said iam not accusing anyone or pointing this tht blabla blah..........so enjoy ur day an cheeerz

Whoa, talk about FCC and the millions of dollars they would have to spend to get your google password. Hmmm ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lownoise:
Guys Relax!!

Just for the record i mounted both cache.rfs and compared the files inside with md5sums

The only file witch is different is the command file located in the recovery directory

Leaked Version contains

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip

--wipe_cache

--wipe_data

Real version contains

--update_package=CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip

--wipe_db

[Galaxy S I9000 General] aposva:
I have JVR for 4 days.

Big improvment: the battery life(all night at flight mode and the drain is only 1%).

I had a FC on the phone.apk, but it was a one time event.

I haven't had any suddenly reboots.

GPS problem is still there(sometimes gets a fix and sometimes it doesn't).

The automatic brightness works better.

When i connect my phone to KIES i get the: "This version cannot be updated"

and "Current firmware version :PDA:JVR / PHONE:JVR / CSC:JVQ (KOR).

The "KOR", what does it means?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] goguxx2000:
Hi , Is there anybody to tell me how to activate SIP?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
Enable SIP:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109962

or use a Sip Phone client from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madrooster:
KOR is a Samsung test sales code. This means your phone's sales code was something that isn't in the OXAJVQ CSC that you flashed.

It may have implications for you in terms of warranty service and Kies official firmware updates but that's probably about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] piatpif:
all was good until yeasterday my sd card (the external one) lost all data..probably just the card though

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wakahoola:
Battery and speed are incredible. 5% over night with WiFi on and a few apps. No sudden reboots. Couldn't find any bugs till now
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 5nakedoc:
Maybe I have an app doing it but battery life is terrible and Maps are using it all up. I can even feel the warmth of the phone in my pocket! I thought it was plan b but I removed that and a few others but it's still doing it. Did a factory reset last night and only installed a few of my apps, still the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Check if you're signed in Latitude, I've noticed that latest Maps update does that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 5nakedoc:
Well, not sure if I was but I am signed out now! Opening it seemed to sign me in but there we go.

But after couple of hours - 21 mA (BAD!)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaystarrr:
Gotta say that JVR is pretty good
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marvalar:
I had the same issue. I reflashed and now I have great battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JohnFTW:
I had a problem similar to yours some time ago. Indeed there was a setting somewhere in the maps/latitude app that signed in automaticly.

Unfortunately i dont remember what the setting (that should be disabled by ticking off a mark) was, but though i'd let you know that there probably is a more comfortable solution than reflashing or something like that.

I think the option you have to untick its under settings - Location and Security - Use wireless networks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] seby79:
Yes and depends what do u mean by personal data; personal settings - yes; applications - yes; network settings - yes; pictures and music - in my case these were not deleted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jamesbebby:
OK, What about messages & contacts???

Cheers, James
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seby79:
Same, will be deleted - a backup of the contacts and messages will solve your problem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JohnFTW:
That wasn't what i did.

I think what i did was

Latitude -> Settings -> "Do not update location" and/or

Latitude -> Settings -> untick "Activate automatic sign-in"

(I'm on danish language, so the wording might be different, but i think i translated it correctly).

edit: Then perhaps Latitude -> Settings -> 'Sign out from Latitude' afterwards :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SGS_elko:
I had the same problem on JVQ with google maps draining. I've disabled latitude but it didn't fixed the drain. I disabled also the location ower wifi in settings/Location and security, this fixed the battery drain.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marvalar:
I'm also having some battery drain problems, I'll tell my little story.

I've flashed JVR and CF-Root and restored all my apps (no data) with titanium. After that I had huge battery drain.

Then I decided to reflash the rom, reinstall all the apps with appbrain and let it on stock kernel. With this setup I had the best battery life of all times.

I decided to reflash CF-Root yesterday and today... bang! The huge battery drain is back. I let the phone in standby almost all day long and it drained the battery completely. In the battery stats I had "Cell Standby" using 30% and being on the top.

I find this very strange as CF-Root is supposed to be almost the stock kernel. I don't know where does the problem comes from.

Do you have any idea?

Is it possible to go back to stock kernel without reflashing the ROM?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rootax:
Yes you can.Go to the Parka's Stash here :http://perka.zapto.org/

You can find stock kernels (i9000=>kernel) to flash via Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SGS_elko:
@ marvalar

Yes, I had the same problem. I disabled all tweaks from cf-kernel and the battery life was back ;-)

I posted this already on this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] twixter:
Hi @ all XDA Members, I'm new to Android. :)

I have also CF-Root and converted rfs partition to ext4.

When I go back to stock kernel, do I have to change it back to rfs or can I keep it at ext4?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marvalar:
Thanks guys. I'm back in stock kernel for the time being.

Let's see how it goes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Well, Cell standby is the phone in standby, if there's nothing running the whole day, then the most usage would be from the Cell standby :]

I'm on Semaphore custom kernel, JVR stock+RFS, JVQ modem, deleted/froze most of Samsung's crap, no drain here.

I use Green battery power saver which turns off mobile/wifi when screen off and enables it only on interval of 30 min's and per 4 hour at night. The large GPS chuck was Sportstracker running for 5 hours for 107km bike trip today. So the battery would last even longer if it weren't for that :]

With so many custom roms for the sgs that many users have flashed and trust i don't quite understand the issue with XXJVR, I know the CSC isn't pure JVR and that many believe darky's has something to do with it but for what i uunderstand that file isn't that important to personal security so why such distrust? For me this rom is smooth, fast and more importantly everything works so im happy with it...for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DT3CH:
I assume you used root explorer, if so sometimes you need to mess about with it to get it to work in cases like that I put it in system/app then install it from within system/app, you may also need to fix permissions, dont try to fix them in CWM since this wont work sometimes too, fix the permissions in root explorer, I had the same problem with a themed Swype

Until app data is one oneNand like on Samsung stock ROM, it'll be laggy. CM7 has those on moviNand which is faster, so the ROM is fast like on my old Desire. I don't think I'll go back :] Since no more Froyo bootloaders are required, it's easier and safer to try it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
what do you meen by no froyo bootloaders
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinus:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Since CM7 #77 nightly, you don't need Froyo bootloaders to get the external SD recognized for stock CM7 kernel. So it's safe to just wipe in CWM and install CM7.

Recover is simple too, since CM7 changes the partition layout to MTD type, you just need to flash the stock Samsung ROM in Odin with re-partition + pit file, to get the stock partition layout.

This version is made by swisscom.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Donald Nice:
At first: the "old" JVR is mixed 3-file-firmware.. With CSC of JVQ! The "new" JVR is a 1-File-Firmware... Perhaps RAMAD will have a look! So... as far as i can compaire (@work, cant make a md5 check)

The "old" (leaked) CODE_I9000XXJVR (3-File-Firmware) contains:

- boot.bin (256 KB)

- cache.rfs (1.216 KB)

- dbdata.rfs (1.344KB)

- factory.rfs (275.752 KB)

- param.lfs (640KB)

- Sbl.bin (1.280 KB)

- zImage (5.592 KB)

Additional from the "old" MODEM_I9000XXJVR:

- modem.bin (12.288 KB)

Additional from the "old" CSC of JVQ:

- a second cache.rfs (9.752 KB)

- a second dbdata.rfs (77.152 KB)

===================

The "new" JVR contains:

- boot.bin - identical with the "old" JVR-Files

- cache.rfs - (12.244 KB) NOT IDENTICAL

- factory.rfs - identical with the "old" JVR-Files

- modem.bin - identical with the "old" JVR-Files

- param.lfs - identical with the "old" JVR-Files

- Sbl.bin - identical with the "old" JVR-Files

- Zimage - identical with the "old" JVR-Files

The comparison is made by filesize-comparison. Cant do a md5-check, because im @work. Also the dbdata.rfs is missing (logical: its a 1-File-Firmware).
