Flashed with the older 513.pit file from page 4 on a dutch Galaxy S with stock JF firmware with windows 7 x64

Pretty stable so far! next time i'll backup everything before i flash :P had to install all my apps again! happy i still had al the apk files on my SD!

it's pretty easy actually!

i have installed the firmware succesefully through oddin but all i get is a black screen any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] star1977:
did you select re-partition in odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] unknownnerd:
is there any way to get the swype keyboard and to enable the premium apps on the market ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:
Swype is in the firmware, just hold down on a text input box to get the setting.

Root your phone and try eris market enabler to get protected apps back. Worked for me, although you might need to clear your market cache then wait a few hours....i didn't think it had worked then woke up in the morning to find the apps were back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] unknownnerd:
okay thank you so much (:

Hi all, I've this new phone since 2 weeks after almost 2 years with iphone, I'm quite satisfied and excited for my galaxy but there is something I really don't understand:

If the new firmware is not officially released by Samsung there should be a reason, so where do these firmwares come from, who make them available?

You are all so happy for this new fw but I'm quite sure that if it was so good Samsung would be the fisrt to deploy it, isn't it ?

Thanks a lot for your attention
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Andoididdy:
Samsung doenst want to roll out a new firmware every week or month.

They will push an official firmware when all or a lot of issues are resolved, besides they need these beta firmwares properly tested before giving them to the big audience. so you wanna test or wait?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bazzo2006:
So what you say is that these firmwares are "official" beta version and they are released by Samsung with the purpose of getting feedback to have a fine tune?

It sounds good, I'm only concerned about the origin of these firmwares so why not try, maybe I will be able to use my agenda without having cpu at 100% :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
I think Bazzo has a valid point. Who are the people behind Samsung-firmware.webs.com? Are they employed by Samsung? Is this the way Samsung beta tests firmware? Are they just enthusiasts?

The whole thing seems really strange to me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] balenax:
i'd assume that they are not officially sammy. but not very far. i find this a very cheap way of beta testing software and a way more effective method than using some beta testers. why?

1. a lot of beta testers (normal users tend to be very good at this, since it's passion involved, not a job, and test every detail) ;

2. free testing (and massive) ;

3. effective and fast feedback from users on the forums;

4. more image effective than official beta testing, since samsung is "not" involved :), **** hits the fan, not their responsability. PR rules nowadays :).

i am thankful for this site, gives me the chance to be as up to date as possible without the need to wait for real official stuff.

my 0.02 $
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Andoididdy:
maybe its just russian hackers, trying to spread malwared firmwares and now know everything you do and have on your phone....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Davith:
I also think these are made available as a form of beta testing. Hell, there could even be some Samsung employees lurking on these threads and checking for feedback.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bazzo2006:
I could try to post the same question on that site, let's see what they answer
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
they are not malware.. they have improved my phone.. much over stock

i am runnin jg1

fixes

1. innability to switch from edge back to 3g at times... now fixed

2. wifi going on randomly and during navigation and getting stuck on... fixed
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Will.1:
Dude, if I was a cell-phone company, i'd hire an intern or two to lurk on every possible forum to report bugs and improvement ideas to the dev team.

Imagine that, Samsung or HTC & Co. always a step ahead of what users would like to see, especially since a lot of these are small tweaks.

But hey, their devs are probably working on thousands of other stuff for other devices.

But for a flagship phone, now I think it's worth the resources.

My 2 cents.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
I'd like to assume that it is part of the Samsung development team. Possibly this is their way to test updates faster without being subjected to corporate procedures.

I can't imagine why anyone would otherwise spend that much time and effort unless they were getting paid to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SoreGums:
my quadrant score is 912 on JG3 with r2 rom from paul - others in here have scores of 863 or 84x.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ollie2:
As mentioned elsewhere it isn't available on any official Samsung site yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] archie_658:
Upgraded to this version a well, but I couldn't use 512. The upgrade didn't start, showing the same reaction as trying to downgrade the firmware: none. Succeeded with 513 however. No repartition. /system is almost full now. Swype crashes/stalls on first use. No possibility to remove words anymore. Can't find the GPRS/UMTS setting to save the battery anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dakine:
It's not an official release and so far no one has been able to clarify who these guys are that are releasing these fw updates. A mysterious website with privacy turned on on the whois, not really the usual way to interact with a major electronics company is it?! :) I do appreciate that they do what they do whoever they are.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] elmz:
though this firmware is really fast.. But it drains my battery very fast.. Any help..?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bynar010:
I found that at first, but after a few days use its been better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
I actually managed to use my phone for more than 24 hours yesterday (thout I didn't use it that much + have juice defender), so I'd say battery usage improved significantly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] michi123:
Now, if you managed to use your phone for more than 24 hours in one day, that IS impressive......:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] varunrai:
^^PWNED! ;)

I really like this firmware. Had a few problems flashing it, so I tried different combinations of the 512 and 513 and re-partition and finally got it flashed. It's FAST! And has been stable for the last 3 days. I need to get myself an SD and do the speed hack to really see what this phone can do.

This firmware though, is much recommended.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Well, ok, it stayed on from one charge for around 25 hours + I still had 30% of battery left in it =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eizyark:
i used the PIT 513 and flashed just fine.

my God is my phone flying now! no more lag! how much more if i used the no lag fix??! right now i'm so happy! this FW is awesome! and not to mention this is still in beta stage.

a definite recommend for all SGS users!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] techeretic:
does flashing by using the 513 pit file make a difference??? i flashed using 512 pit and am getting 860 on quadrant (stock, didnt bother applying the lag fix)

also any battery savings??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TSprinter:
failed to flash JG5 using 513 pit file,

can anybody give me the link to 512?

so what i have to do with this screen now: Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!!

Should i reboot it using Hard Reset or what?

I`ve just tried to check re-partition and use 513 pit but Odin does not start flashing...

Ok stupid question time ... im using Baseband Version I9000DDJF3 and it is so very laggy ... can i install this firware on my device ... and i really cant see a download link ?? Could someone please help me ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:
Hi guys,

Just flashed my phone using Odin. Used all 3 files that came with the JG5 download - PDA, Phone and CSC. Used the 512 PIT file. The flash was successful.

Now, in the "About Phone" page, it says:

Build number: ECLAIR.XWJG5

But

Baseband version: I9000XXJG1

Isn't the baseband supposed to be JG5 as well? Why is it saying JG1?

Edit: I just noticed that the JG5 firmware downloaded from here comes with the JG4 CSC and the JG1 Modem file. So I'm guessing everything's as it should be on my phone right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ed10000:

COM 24 or 25

Hi All,

Firmware Flashing newbie here,

I constantly connected to COM 24 or 25 (or even higher number), I read some reply in forum stated that we should use COM7 for flashing, and no other COM Port,

is it advisable to proceed with the flashing?

Advice needed, thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Chainfire:
Doesn't have to be COM7, that's a mistake from the person who originally stated that.

Wanted to see if I could get Kies to work.

So I used HomeSwitcher to set TWLauncher as default.

Put USB mode to Kies

Rebooted

When it restarted, I went to Appications.I just got the spinning wheel.Left it for 5 minutes, no change.

Pressed Home button, after a while it went back to the homescreen but I couldnt move between the pages.

Rebooted.Same thing.

I did a factory reset and it seems OK now....And Kies works :(:cool:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
You can`t flash these firmwares from sd card. You need to use Odin. Only custom ROMs you can update via sd, but even still you need to have the same base on your phone, like JG1, JG3 or etc....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dirk1978:
Progress report on this firmware:

I'm using a european unlocked SGS which originally had JF3 on it. I had massive lag, GPS and radio performance issues.

Now since putting this firmware on it's very fast, the radio performance is much better and GPS maybe is better.

But the best thing for me by a long way is the tethering now works properly through the Samsung mobile AP app. I used to use android-wifi-tether on the G1 and really relied on it for work. The Samsung mobile AP app kept disconnecting wifi, radio performance was terrible and it was pretty much unusable. Now it's as good as the G1 and works very well. In fact, I'm now writing this from my laptop connecting over the SGS tethering on the train.

Very, very happy with this phone now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riz157:
Okay sounds good thanks for letting us know, I'm also on JF3 with the same issues you experienced. Has the lagging issue completely been resolved with this rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
Maybe not completely, but a huge improvement. But I haven`t had those black screens anymore or either much slow downs. I do reboot my phone about once a day, keeping phone fresh. But I fully recommend to update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dirk1978:
From my experience, even before doing the SD card data fix the lag was completely eliminated. I think expecting much more from the device is perhaps unrealistic. If it gets any faster I'll be ecstatic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riz157:
SD card fix seems to complex and risky from what I have read. encouraging to read SD fix is not needed.

Having flashed a HD and TP2 a few times it is'nt completly new, however..

android..

I first had the desire, nice phone, buth hate the screen, the buttons, and crap camera, so i bought the SGS..

Now i'm looking for the right way to flash, have been reading a lot since.

As i understand, when flashing (after rooting) JX5, the market isn't compleet ?

The 'lag' still isn't completly gone ?

Further i'm having bigggg trouble with kies, the cheap simple programe for HTC worked just nicely, whising SAMSUNG looked at nokia pc suite and becommes green...., annaway, when connecting with usb, i'm experincing multiple crashes.. , aplacation ceeps reboting.

Wisely to flash after full factory reset ? or is it possible to flash without KIES(pijn) or just waith for the froyo update ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] riz157:
dont know whats going on having problems trying to flash firmware via odin, it just says File analysis and goes on and on nothing happens. Drivers were installed sucessfully so no problems there.

tried 513.pit fil and512.pit file .....help please!

fixed rebooted pc and phone and then it worked.

Rom seems to work with less lagging certainly, much smoother. An improvement definetly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] JuWa:
Have you tried to unplug the usb cable and plug again? Tried another usb ports? Plug the cable after you have the download mode in your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
You don't need Kies to update the firmware. You can flash the new firmware with Odin. Darkstriker wrote a good faq entry about this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7152078&postcount=2

The lag problem isn't that severe with the new firmware as was the case with the factory firmware. The update is definitely worthwhile.

(BTW I had to set my mobile internet settings manually after the new update. Since you live in the Netherlands: here is a very useful page with settings for several providers)

Should I reflash the firmware.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
I'm on Three in Sydney Australia.

The phone only just released here on the OPTUS network.

Their 6 applications were riddled through the phone.

As it was unlocked I bought it and was using it on Three network with the APN details for that network entered.

This last Firmware is not working for me with regards to Internet so am thinking I might have to reflash the firmware JG5.

If that still doesn't work I will flash JG3.

Anyone else have an ideas other then that.?

XWJG5 runs much better, now I'm actually liking this device much better then desire. It's stable fast and plenty of memory, there are still occasions when it lags but no way near as much as with the previous rom JF3.

GPS seems to work probably not as well as it should but fortunately I don't us gps too often.

Overall a huge improvement!
