So does that mean that JFB contained more languages than this one?

I also think from reading on other forums that the OXE is the CIS countries (former soviet republics)...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
Here is a fix to the protected apps not showing up in the market.

We are basically going to use the build.prop from from JF5

If you don't know what you are doing do not do it.

I take no responsibility of you damage your phone!!!

1) root your phone and enable USB debugging

2) download root explorer from market.

3) download the attached build.prop to you adb folder on your computer.

4) push build.prop to your sdcard: adb push build.prop /sdcard

5) Open root explorer, mount the file system (click on RW at the top)

5) go to /system rename build.prop to build.prop.bak

6) copy build.prop from /sdcard to /system

REBOOT

7) go to applications, uninstall market (Don't worry it will still be on your phone and will re-download itself in the next step)

8) open market from desktop > you should see protected apps.

In case you messed up you saved a copy of the old build.prop in /system so you can restore it from there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bajica:
those country lists are copy paste from http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsunglettercode.htm, did not test them so cant say if that is true
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sputnik.:
I did a factory reset and swype now works again with all languages, also german!

also market did not load anything before fac reset, now it works again... all back to normal again!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
Playing with the firmware i think the "stall" problem is GONE. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Wow, let's hope so. I will install it tomorrow, I have no time tonight... did you install a csc file? and did you, after all, select re-partition?

sputnik, did you install only pda and modem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
repartioned

installed the following:

CODE_I9000XWJG1.tar

CSC-I9000OXEJG1.tar (this CSC installs less bloat apps)

MODEM_I9000XXJG1.tar

It is faster no doubt.

do my market hack to get protected apps back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Great, thanks a lot. Can you tell me about those bloat apps? What are they? That Navithing? Did you install both versions and try with both?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
do i need to backup all my data before flashing?

and which CSC do u guys use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TheMaverick:
Anyone know when they are pushing the new firmware to phone, just so I don't have to root my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ondjultomte:
Yes! backup all data.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
thanks and which app good for backup?

and i need to re-partition it?

and what is protected apps in market?

sry im new to android
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Installing a firmware does not root your phone, so don't worry about that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hassan:
I don't think Samsung push firmwares. We have to pull them our self. :p

No need to root.

Confirm stalling is gone for now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
so you mean all the data still there after i flashed the new firmware??

how about the re-partition thing?

EDIT: and also which CSC should i choose?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
i would not use your fix for build.prop insgtalling a old build.prop from an old version is dangerous.. if you search on myself you will see in last version i modified build.prop with just the 2 lines changed that are needed for market.. to identifiy whilch f/w. i will do the same to this firmware with the build.prop that comes with it and post it here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Zvenn:
Is there any easy-to-follow guide to update the firmware for us "unofficial firmware" noobs? :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ondjultomte:
I just connected the phone to my computer and backuped my images and movies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
how about the apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
titaniuim backup or my backup pro can both backup system settings and apps + data. (if rooted b4 doing backup)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
In the description of the newest firmware I9000XWJG1 on Modaco, BomG said this:

"This is the last version (exUSSR - as JFB) - i9000XWJG1 - all langs on it.

Two CSC - I9000SERJG1 is Russian.

http://narod.ru/disk/22454832000/i9000XWJG1.7z.html

If it possible - make R2 with this newest FW :)

Newest versions you will find on 4PDA forum - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=172712

Then - on sams-web "

So I went to the russian site, and found I9000XWJFF, which looks equally new: http://narod.ru/disk/22444619000/I9000XWJFF.7z.html

Inside there is a CSC-I9000OXXJF9, and a MODEM-I9000XXJF8, which from my limited understanding look western European and not Russian.

Could someone who knows about this firmware confirm what it is? Should we western Europeans flash this? I noticed that the CSC contains APN stuff from the UK and many other 'XX' countries.

EDIT: Confirmed, JFF is the European version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hkfriends:
is anyone still experience the "stalling" in this firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
so which CSC should i flash?

bigger or smaller size of CSC?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
By the numbering it looks like JG1 is the newer one as G is after F. That's how I understand it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
actually i can ignore the CSC and just plash the modem and PDA file right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] achio1115:
Just flashed my i9000 with I9000XWJG1... so far so good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
did u flash together with CSC EJG1 and MODEM files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] achio1115:
I followed clubtech's steps on #3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
ok so there is a bloatware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jana999:
Hi I'm new to android (previously used winmo 6.5).

Q1) Ok I read the earlier posts that rooting is not necessary for flashing a new firmware. Then what is the purpose of rooting? :confused: (Is it like Installing HardSPL on windows mobile?)

Q2) Can someone please post a definitive guide to rooting and flashing firmware and whatnot? :confused: THANKS :) Or at least please post links to the software I need to use to root/flash firmwares

Q3) I am from Singapore(ASIA). My phone has firmware I9000DXJF4.

Is it possible for me to use the european firmwares like I9000XWJG1 and XWJFF?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cruiseyunfat:
Just go to samsung-firmware.webs.com and register, they have very detail guide. I am using the HK version and I have flashed it with:

PDA:I9000ZSJF5

PHONE: I9000XXJF5

CSC: I9000OZSJF6

So far no problems, i will try the russian firmware as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
i have flashed to new firmware but found out the 3rd column at top of Odin show Fail and i no idea what it is..my phone running ok..should i flash it again?

here my image

http://bit.ly/aauyxF
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
Ok so far so good, this firmware is more responsive than older ones, have not tested GPS yet but stalling is mostly gone :D

Camera is a little faster also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
did u have a Fail message at 1 of the column as i posted above your post?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sputnik.:
I flashed only the PDA file

is it recommended to flash csc and phone too? I still havn't found out what information the csc file contains.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
flashed my sgs with the xwgff firmware from the russian site posted in page 4. everyting seems fine. i change my csc to h3g for uk instead of the default kor which is for korea. now, everything is fine. thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
Your link is broken friend, I can't view it.

Any way, it seems that there is no google search via voice with this firmware ! :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fua:
i flashed all 3 only because, that way phone shows all 3 corretly when u look

*#1234#
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nadernick:
Any obvious Improvements GPS-wise so far? Eventually a more stable sattelite lock-on or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ogen:
So only beef would be those protected apps missing?

Can you tell me wich apps this would mean exactly?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychedelic'd:
If I flash this firmware, will I still be able to input Chinese?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tiggsy:
How do you stop your apps and data being deleted when you flash with odin? When i went from JF1 to JFB i had to put all my data back on afterwards!

Also - with the latest firmware is there any point in rooting (all i am after is speed)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
i still can open it but nvm.i know what is the issue..

u can download the google search via voice in market no?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] magicdroid:
FM-radio output still mono with this firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3ller:
I Can't send SMS after flasing with the new firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nicoloco:
Hi,

I just got my first android tel yesterday and I must confess I was quite annoyed by the optus rom I got.

So I decided to flash it with this new rom

The flash itself with odin went very smoothly and every thing went well.

I didn't lose any data on my internal sd card.

Yet I have also noticed the issue around the sms ... that's not good even if overall everything else seems to work fine and even faster
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
I am not aware you can !:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
Every thing works fine here, I have not tried GPS yet.

And I need to find a way to bring back the Google voice search.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
do you mean the google search widget with a google voice at right side?

and also a Voice Search app?

i have both..

btw, swype is not working on Messaging in latest firmware. when i try type with swype and send it,the message will not send and its cleared...need to use stock keyboard only can..

but Handcent no problem with it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
SMS doesn't work with swipe !! :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Could someone please test the European version (JFF) for this Swype problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
Can some one please host the JFF on rapidshare as, that link with the JFF is blocked where I live!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mastro750:
the firmware I9000XVJFF is also italian?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mastro750:
someone try firmware I9000XVJFF?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
How did you change your csc? Is this before you flash? Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
Can some one please host I9000XWJFF.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
the csc included with the xwgff firmware is actually a multi lingual csc. so after flashing you just have to change the csc using the *#272*HHMM# command. in my case, i chose H3G which is for UK.

FYI, i flashed my sgs again. this time using the code and modem from I9000XWJG1, while using the csc from the I9000XWJFF firmware. all went well and happy me.. :D actually, i suggest using the csc from I9000XWJFF if want any of these languages below...

as you can see. uk is H3G.. the csc included with the I9000XWJG1 firware contains 4 languages although i forgot what those languages are. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
im uploading it to rapidshare, as requested, right now.. it says 10 more minutes.. ill let you know when its done. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
done.. here is the link.

http://rapidshare.com/files/405283735/I9000XWJFF.7z

since i dont have rapidshare premium account, the file can only be downloaded 10 times.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tiggsy:
Are you able to retain your downloaded apps, settings, data, etc when you flash with Odin3?

Is there any point rooting now (if i only want speed)

and will all three parts (phone, modem, csc) of JFF wok ok on a UK phone? Seems some worries over SMS above?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
Thx Man :D

One question, the CSC is the languages file right?

So basically I can use any CSC I want with Any modem and Code sources?!?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Thanks, linked to the first post.

So, about the SMS issue, have you tried sending an sms that was written with swype? Does that work?

Also, can you change your CSC anytime you like using that code? Or just once?

CSC is not exactly related to language, it contains some country-specific apps (for example, Voice Search for UK and uTalk for Russia), and also country APN settings. In the code list, H3G does not mean 'UK', it means 'Hutchinson 3G', which is the official name of the 3 UK network. Greece has 2 codes, one of them COS, which stands for COSMOTE, one of the carriers. So I guess it contains the APN for 3 UK.

Still, if everything else is the same, I'd rather flash this than the JG1 firmware, since I don't care about CIS or RUS settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mastro750:
swipe work perfectly. CSC default ENGLISH non russian....

wonderful
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Do you think that the JG1 is newer, is that why you did it? Are you sure it goes alphabetically?

Still, thanks a lot for all your testing!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
anyone have the fix for the innability to send sms with other than the default keyboard with jg1..

as promised here is the original build.prop from jg1 and a modified one with just 2 lines changes to allow downloading of protected apps in the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dan 6a:
Please help with something ;

From the guide "

Open in ODIN the flash files and the .PIT file (use PDA if you’ve got only one file inside the

firmware)

In the JG1 fw there are ;

1 code

2 CSC

1 modem tar.

, In odin3 there are options

PIT which i have the file for

PDA (guide says if only 1 file)

Phone

CSC

and etc is greyed out.

Can someone please tell me under which heading to put each file.. people are flashing a code a CSC and the modem tar. I am unsure how select all three using the odin setup.

http://www.greaky.com/2010/02/samsung-i5700-galaxy-spica-android-21.html#/news/

If someone could please copy and paste this screen for these files that would be great, as others are confused also on other sites.

The samsung firmwares guide doesn't make this clear.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Thanks lgkahn.

Can you please check in the locale settings, if there is Greek on the phone? (Ελληνικά). From the samsung-firmware pages it looks like the XW code does not contain it.

Thanks again.

P.S. Sorry don't have the SMS fix, at the moment you can install the r2 MCR from Paul@Modaco that fixes it..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
yes greek or whateve those weird characters are .. is one of the local with the smaller jg1 csc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Great, thanks. (yes I know it's all greek to you :)).

So it should also work with the multi-lingual CSC. I'll try it when I get home.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
code= pda

modem = phone

csc = csc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
OK I just flashed the XWFF firmware and I still can't see google voice search !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
??y don u go download it from market?

search for google voice
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
That's a bit disappointing, but you can download it from the market.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Flashed yesterday the file from samsung firmwares (I9000XWJG1) over the JF3 (bought in UK). After that rooted the device.

No problems in flashing or rooting (well, while it is first time for me in android, but I hacked, broke and bricked my 5800 more times than I care to admit).

Phone is definetly more snappier, faster, I think memory management was impoved, as multitasking is smoother. Havent tried GPS (not sure if I had problems with it to begin with), but will try today and report my findings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
Google search by Voice is not in the market !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tiggsy:
how are you guys backing up before flashing to save all your data and market apps?

Also - can you apply the root with odin3 as well as the firmware flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
weird...i found it in the Market( i trying now again and it still there) with JG1 firmware..and installed it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
dont know how you are finding it.. google is not supplying it to marketplace except for nexus one..

search on voice search or my name in the forums i found this problem with last firmware and found a version on the web that works and posted a link to it in the thread.

and by the way google voice which you said to search for in the market.. is NOT the same as google voice search which searches via a web browser for anything..

when google voice search is installed the default search widget will have a voice option as will web browser pages. at the end or the url bar.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] us1111:
How do you get the update for the SMS problem (as stated in the 1st post) for the G1 firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
err...like i told u,my default search widget have a voice option at the end of right side(beside magnifier(search button) icon)..i tried the voice search like hello and it will redirect me to google page with search of "hello"...

so is this the google voice search u mentioned??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
did you upgrade to lastest f/w.. did you do a factory reset.. it removes the google search on the widget when you do an upgrade?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
With which firmware? Can you send SMS written with Swype?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mastro750:
yes perfectly, i'm italian..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
But which firmware? JFF or JG1? or did you mix them together?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mastro750:
firmware XWJFF, with JG1 CSC is russian and swipe not working
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
So you tried JG1 first and it wasn't working, and then you installed JFF? Just to be clear :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mastro750:
yes. but i don't know if it' happened only in italy, with italian. in other countries i don't know. we need froyo for our galaxyyyyyyyyyy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
yes!!im with JG1 firmware now..i nvr did any factory reset.i just flash it(without repartition) and download back all the apps(because all my data/apps has been wiped out after flashing)..this includes the voice search from Market ..

thats it..no hack,no anything..

in short, new firmware flashed from XFJ3, all the apps and data wiped out, i need redownload all the apps again...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
No problem. I not sure if csc is the language file but im sure it has the languages in there. Maybe its the file that contains the settings on what country or region the firmware is intended for release. But im not sure. That being said, i was able to flash mine with code and modem from one firmware together with csc from another, so i think the answer to your question on mixing code modem and csc from different firmwares is yes. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tommy34:
i used the rapidshare download (i9000XWJFF) from this thread which includes:

CODE_I9000XWJFF

CSC_I9000OXXJF9

MODEM_I9000XXJF8

I used these files and swype is working for me even for sms sending.

i am a dutch user and it's working fine just insert sim and reboot and fill in your providers apn settings yourself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
oh okay.. thanks for the info. :D yes, you can change the csc anytime using the code. also, i normally dont use swype because it does not have the dictionary for my native language, but i tried it just now and i was able to send sms typed with swype.

yes, i thought JG1 is newer.. haha. thats why i tried flashing it. but i did not like the csc from the JG1 so i went back to JFF for the csc.. so right now, my code and modem are from JG1 and my csc is from JFF.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
The first post has also info about the CSC. Also, with the JG1 code and modem, did you have the swype problem with sms sending? Did you install anything else (e.g. the custom r2 rom from modaco)?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oswade:
Same!!! I read on modaco that Paul said his fix cannot be applied to stock firmware...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
i did not install anything else. just flashed the firmware and thats all. not even rooted. :D and no, i do not have any problem with sms sending using swype with the JG1 code and modem. the JG1 code and modem are actually the ones installed in my sgs now..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
jg1 has fixed the issue i had where the phone was not going back on 3g/h after being in an edge zone when driving into work.. need to reboot.. now it works fine.. just the damn sms bug..

i think i will just get handset or whatever it is/.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rodney.cabahug:
try flashing the JG1 code and modem together with the JFF csc. thats what i did and i dont have any problem with sms sending, swype or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
dont really want to do this as it takes litterally hours to get all 60 apps working again and all settings etc.. playlists, tones for contacts , many of which stuff is not restored correctly with either titanium or my backup pro.

in additoin to getting the market working correctly again with paid and protected apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] boinger66:
use titanium backup to backup all your settings / programs and use batch it restores everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
but do the restored apps get recognized/updates by Market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
I still can't find a way to get Google sear by voice, MY GOD this is ANNOYING :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
install this app

http://bandwidth.lgk.com/VoiceSearch_2.1.apk
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hmj2k3:
OMG man you rock !! :D it's there !!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Techno79:
I have a European SGS with firmware version I9000XXJF3 and I'm really confused. I had a look on http://samsung-firmware.webs.com and it does not list this version but seems to list 3 firmware versions that appear newer (I9000XXJF7, I9000XXJFB and I9000XWJG1).

On top of that, this post mentions European firmware version XWJFF. I can't tell which versions are newer and which ones are older.

I'm also confused as to why these firmware versions aren't coming from a legit Samsung website, are these all leaked/hack firmware versions? Which ones are official Samsung releases?

Any help would be really great. Thanks.
