[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Ok so, just to be devil's advocate here. Does this procedure sound right? I'm making this procedure overly detailed to ensure I miss nothing. :)

1. Download JVQ and KC1 firmwares from either samfirmware.com or Ramad's thread.

2. Extract both files.

3. Download ODIN and extract files.

4. Open odin. (File says I9003_Odin3 v1.82.exe, is that correct? I9003?)

5. Assuming I'm using JVQ Code(PDA), KC1 Phone(Modem), and JVQ CSC, Should ODIN look like this?

5.a) This is without Re-Partition and PIT file. Do I have to Re-Partition and use a PIT File?

6. Enter Download Mode on the Phone (Turn Phone off, Press VolDown + Home + Power)

7. Connect Phone to Computer via USB (ODIN should say 'Added' and 'ID:COM' should have the COM PORT Listed.)

8. Press 'Start' on ODIN to flash files.

9. After flashing, it will reboot the phone, keep the phone connected until boot process is finished.

10. Disconnect the phone.

Sound right to all you guru's? Any answer to 5a)? Do we need to RePartition and use a PIT file?

do you want to flas the whole phone???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Not sure what you mean by "whole phone"

Currently I'm on Stock KC1 - I've unlocked it back in the Eclair days, still unlocked with KC1, and it has been rooted using Super One Click, and all bloatware removed.

Everything else is stock from when I upgraded via KIES.

What do you mean by "whole phone"?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virusdunil:
i mean flash the KERNEL,the ROM,the MODEM at the same time...

what are you on now rom/kernel/modem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Well I'm assuming whatever comes with the Stock KC1 file when updating through KIES.

Everything is KC1 or should be... is there a way to check?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virusdunil:
ok then...before attempting anything,i suggest you read this and understand everything

there are too many roms,kernel and other things to choose from before flashing with odin.

Personally I like to repartition every time, why wouldnt you want to? Just add the 512 pit and it automatically selects repartition in Odin

Also why bother with JVQ when JVR is out?

JVR and KC1 and you are good to go

Also flash with a full batt, then do a hard reset *2767*3855#

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Never had a fail, unless it was right at the beginning of the flash which then caused a soft brick...

Anyways check to see if everything is working, check in the the about phone menu to see if everything is as it should be firmware, baseband, kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Well I redid everything.. this time with JVR and repartition checked with PIT 512... no failures this time.

:)

Lets hope JVR is better than JVQ. And to that end, hope its better than KC1.

Thanks guys.

Hope this thread helps someone else too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Uhhh you should still flash the KC1 modem, otherwise no 850 band for you, as sometimes it can be a monumental task to get the band working

Download this and flash via CWM http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12615450&postcount=42
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
I used the KC1 modem when flashing. 850 seems to work ok..

Ran into another problem now, hopefully you could all make me understand how to do this.

I use Bell Self Serve to monitor my usage... now with JVR, its not showing up in the market.

I'm assuming because the phone now shows I9000, instead of I9000M, and therefore doesn't allow it to the market as its for Canadian users only.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there a workaround?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeced:
Just ran in to another problem. Thank god Download Mode works.

I plugged the phone into the computer to maintain a charge, it made the charging sound, but the screen wouldn't come on. Unplugged, and the screen still stayed black.

No button changed that. :(

I'm reflashing KC1 back on. This stuff seems to risky for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Leaked firmwares have some random issues every now and then, dont worry about it though (just do a battery pull when things like that happen), besides GB is way better than Froyo, stick with the JVR you will like it trust me, just install that KC1 modem, you just need to have CWM, flash the CF kernel since its pretty tame and close to stock http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15188469&postcount=9 JVR v4.1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
Yes its CSC related, I think Market Enabler may help you out with this
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk_ln:
all the above is correct and no, a PIT file is NOT needed. also, with regards to your other question, theoretically you CAN just flash the PDA, but I wanted to flash the entire phone (PDA, PHONE, CSC). I just flashed back the KC1 Phone/modem since I'm in Canada. Also, KIES will not recognize your phone b/c of the CSC, but if/when bell does decide to release a stable GB officially, I will just flash back the correct CSC and use KIES...though I must say, JVQ has been much better than KC1.

And I'm not exactly sure why odin says it failed...

There are quite a few apps that will not appear on the market for newer firmwares. I have come across a few posts stating exactly that. They had to wait a week or so before the app was available again for their f/w.

The only thing I've found risky is the repartition; I've had a few colleagues flash with it and they have had problems. Could have been a coincidence, but why make more changes than necessary if no repartition works fine? (*knock on wood*) :)

One thing to note is that since odin is known/reported to be finicky, you should try a re-flash with the same settings as the 'failed' flash. (I noticed you flashed once and then tried to flash again, but with a repartition; I would have suggested to flash exactly the same). I've had a similar situation and a re-flash, without changing settings, fixed it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DT3CH:
I dont understand what the fears are with repartitioning the phone, as long as your bootloaders dont change then its a non issue, even then worst case scenario you make a jig for download mode, if you want a truly clean install repartition the phone, its the same as a computer, when doing a new install repartition the hard drive....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krarvind:
You can flash JVR and still have the 850 band enabled but you have to do the following modem dance. Works only on samsung based rom's as these are samsung codes

Step 1: flash JL2 modem in cwm, reboot to system, on your dialer press *#2263# and go to phone control-> network control->bandselection->combi bands-> select 850 -> back to previous screen-> select wcdma and select only 850 band -> back and then end using menu soft key.

Step 2: press *#0011# confirm you are on 850 band

Step 3: flash jpD modem in cwm, reboot to system, repeat step 2.

Step 4: flasj JPG modem in cwm, reboot to system, repeat step 2.

Step 5: flash any european or non 850 band modem, reboot to system, repeat step 2. if you see 850 then go to step 6 or else start again.

Step 6: *#2263#, enable all bands in combi bands, and keep band selection automatic.

Cheers

LOL thats what I meant by it being a hassle to get it working, is the JVR modem that much better then KC1? I was hoping for Bell to drop the Gingerbread update soon then I could just flash the JVQ modem and have it working out of the box
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
I did this and it did not work. It appeared to work (showed the 850 band as enabled), but I would lose signal in 850 areas. The only way I could truly keep the 850 band was to flash KC1 modem.

Just to clarify, folks - - if i am coming from the stock UGKG3, earlier on flashed to i9000m with ODIN (entire flash - -PHONE/PDA/CSC, pit and part) and want to move to JVR but keep my UGKG3 MODEM and CSC should I, flash the entire JVR first and then flash the UGKG3 PHONE/CSC files separately or can I just flash my current UGKG3 in ODIN with ONLY the PDA file from JVR, leaving the PHONE/CSC alone?

When you drop a bookmark for a website onto the desktop it has a bookmark icon with the site's icon smaller in the bookmark icon.

Not sure what A1 is :confused: . But if your sure you have Full Root, not Temp Root. Have Superuser Permissions. Also installed recovery. It would be Clockwork Mod Recovery. Then just place the Gingerbread Rom of your choice in the root of your SD Card. Boot into Recovery. Do a full wipe, and then Flash your Rom.
