Point taken sire. Am downloading XWJM2 even as i write this and will subsequently follow the post for XWJM6 by richthofen later tonight.

I have checked that the key combination indeed works as you suggested. But the phone was never detected by my PC. I suspect its because its running XP. Since I know the download mode works, will use that on my laptop if required.

Is there any post that guides noobs like me (:D) through the download mode?

Cheers....

P.S. Which CSC should I be choosing from richthofen's post?

Would it be this?: OLB *Multi CSC* Unbranded / Branded: (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
On what PC you flash really shouldnt make a difference. If your phone isnt recognized in download mode, the drivers are not installed correctly. Flashing on a different pc will likely fix that. If your phone is in download mode, you dont need to do anything on the phone anymore. Check HOWTO#1 in Post#2 for a guide on flashing.

The CSC is really your choice. Since they are very small, I don't think it will make a large difference though. You should be fine with all except the germany-specific one. But I guess the one you stated is best for you if you live in india.

Version numbers

I don't understand them yet. I have read question 5 in post 1.

So if I understand XXJF5 is country XX, June 2010 release 5.

Over on another thread they are referring to XFJM6 -- country XF, 2010, release 6 -- but what is the M?? I thought A was January, B:February, etc.

M??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
There is no conclusive information regarding the M versions. Originally they were believed to be test builds but some of them have been pushed as official updates via Kies! and quite frankly we are at a loss to what the M stands for. Also, they appear to be release in both July and August so we cannot be sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BakaSenpai:
There's something I just want to clarify when flashing to a different firmware.

I have the I9000M with the firmware JG8, and if i flash the phone to JM5..does this create a stock rom for that region? So I understand that JM5 firmware uses an EU rom..and if I ever decided to flash back to JG8 will my phone have the stock Rom that's suppose to come with JG8?

I ask this because I'm looking at both SamSet 1.9f and Hackeclair both requiring JM5..but HackClair requires a STOCKROM..just want to clarify this. =)

thanks~
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
Well. To be honest we don't use the term ROM in relation to the I9000 very often because the firmwares from samsung include what is traditionally referred to as the ROM.

What is meant when HackEclair requires a stock ROM, is that you should not have modified the phone software before installing it (ie. no lagfixes or rooting or things like that)

If you flash JM5, all traces of the JG8 software will be gone. Vice versa, if you flash JG8 and were using JM5 before, all traces of JM5 will be gone.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] miro666:
Well, i wish flashing from my Stock XXJF3 (eclair v2.1) on XXPJC (froyo v2.2), with Odin. I was read most people have problem with Samsung Kies on flashing, and this will make with Odin, but have few question:

1. What .pit file I need for XXPJC firmware ?

2. What Odin version i need? Odin3 v 1.0 or Odin2 v1.3 ???

3. Must i make factory reset before flashing new firmware, or it make itself during flashing process ? And when i must, how make it? Settings ->Security-> Factory Reset or with Code *2767*3855#

This question is because i was found flashing files on:

https://www.wuala.com/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S/Firewares%20,%20Updates%20and%20Odin/Odin%20&%20Bootloader%28.PIT%29/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU

Thanks forwarding on answer

Best Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
512.pit should be ok

Odin versions should both work (I haven't personally tried v1.3 but it is reported to work with XXJPC in this thread)

Factory reset before the flash is not necessary. You should do it after according to FAQ#A1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miro666:
Thank You on Your very quickly answer Darkstriker. I will tommorow morning try first time on my life, flashing android firmware. I was flashing Windows Mobile OS many times, and I am more "by Home" with this OS :)

Thank You

Best Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kennytung:
I have a question:

My stock firmware is I9000ZSJF5 and I flashed it to JM1 using Odin so does Kies recognize JM1 as my official firmware and I can upgrade the firmware through Kies whenever there is an official firmware released? Or I will have to revert back to I9000ZSJF5 in order to upgrade firmware through Kies?

Thanks.

Firmware upgrade on a phone without Hardware recovery button

The Power-Home-VolumeUp/Down does not work on my phone. Will adb reboot-bootloader work?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
You should be able to update through Kies. However, Your area code might not be correct with the JM1 software and Kies might flash software for the wrong area (if that bothers you). Additionally, some areas will probably receive updates quicker than others although I can't make any promises on which ones and when. If you follow the forums loosely you will see when new firmware is released via Kies.

adb reboot download

That is the command and in all likelihood, it will work but I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT TRY TO FLASH if your download mode doesn't work through a key-combo!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kennytung:
Thank you darkstrider for quick reply.

I'm just a regular user who want a phone running stable/fast (currently using JM1 with lagfix), should I risk to update to JPC or wait for the final release (when will this be?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
I'm sorry but I have never seen anything quite like that and isn't very clear to me how you go there either. More info might help.

I would refer you to Post#6
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nikkeli:
Ofcourse I did exactly what I shouldn't have done.

My phone doesn't support 3 button recovery thing, I went ahead and flashed my phone as I've done these kinds of stuff before and first time I ran into problem that after animation my phone just went dead I could just do adb reboot recovery from windows as phone was detected through usb.

This time it's pretty much the same but it doesn't show the S logo as long as it did before, it just goes black after showing the logo for some time, phone is not detected in windows so adb gives error: device not found, or something like that.

Here I sit trying every key combination out and rebooting windows to see if adb works now but cruel fact is my phone is dead.

If only they hadn't removed (or whatever they did or didnt do) the 3 button recovery on some of the phones, this is exactly why it's there.

Well, unless someone figures out what I have to do I'll try to get a new one as replacement and let them have their crippled piece of brick that doesn't have full features, and hopefully get one that has.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
Can anyone show me where I can find the instructions to mix PDA/Modem/CSC to build a new firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
What exactly do you mean by that?

There is no guide on which PDA are compatible with which Modem and CSC files because there is really no need for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tr4657:
From CustomROM, back to original ROM

If I flashed my SGS with a cooked ROM, but later I want to revert back to original Samsung ROM, can it be done? If can, how to do it? Using Odin? Thanks.... (new to android)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
Use Odin an next time read more carefully.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
For example:

I got M110S (Galaxy S korean version)

So I need to built a firmware to remove the korean apps and add some international

apps.

So I need to keep the Modem of the original firmware for M110s and modify PDA and CSC.

After reading the FAQ, I see the possible to do that.

But I don't know how to extract these components, modify and re-build it.

That's my problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
I'm afraid that there is very little info around here regarding the M110S since it is only distributed in South Korea. The info in the FAQ has got no relation to the M110S whatsoever. The FAQ regarding European and Asian firmwares are about the Galaxy S GT-I9000 ONLY!

I would suggest finding a Korean forum for more info on how to mod your device.

REALLY need ur help....

hi!

my name is tal. i just purchesed a Samsung Galaxy 9000i sim free with no contract from "bel company"

in amstersdam.

in order to get "hebrew" in my droid (im from israel originally) i have tryed to boot it using this guide:

samfirmware.webs.com/Flash%20guide%20english.pdf

i used:

- ODIN 3 V1.0

- I9000JPJG8 512.PIT (for middleastern users)

- s1_odin_20100513 (pit)

ok now as the guide said i got my KIES known the driver. then got it to DOWNLOADING.... MODE

(volume down+power+ menu button.)

then i entered the two files in the boxes as the guide said and prees start.

it said "Analyzing...." for a few moments and nothing happend, after a long waiting i disconnect my usb and the phone was not changed, i took my battery of.

since then i can only see the screen with a small icon of cellular & PC connected with wire with a small yellow exclamation mark (!) in it.

it does get to DOWNLOADING mode again but neither the PC or KIES recognize him.

what can i do?

where r u located? im in amsterdam. is it possible to meet u so u will be able to fix it 4 me??

PLS help me....

THNX, TAL

[Galaxy S I9000 General] junglist1996:
Sorry for not searching first as I'm on the road.

Basically, my friend's SGS started acting strangely after he updated to ZSJG4 (Hong Kong ROM) via Kies the other day. It would occasionally power off on its own, or freeze. I thought he somehow messed up the flash so I helped him to reflash ZSJH4 via Odin, root with update.zip in internal storage, and applied the lagfix as I've done to my own SGS. All was well right after the procedure but he soon ran into the same issues and after one of the freezes, the phone was stuck in the boot up screen. Same thing happened after removing the battery so I told him to do a hard reset. That revived the phone but powering off/freezing still occurs.

I suspect there's something wrong with the phone's hardware so perhaps he should bring it back for warranty service. My question is to unroot, should he flash to the latest ZSJH2 via Kies before bringing the phone in?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
Flash XWJM1 using odin to completely remove any trace of root and then update to whatever is the newest version on Kies.

Kies updates do not remove all userdata completely and there may remain traces of root if you dont do a full flash before.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mansourns:
need help

Hi,

I downloaded i9000jpjg8 from samsung-firmwares.com but i could not locate The CODE MODEM and CSC .tar files to use them in odin3.

These are the files found when i extracted the main file:

cach.rfs - dbdata.rfs - factory.rfs - modem - ojp_jg9 - param.lfs - zlmage

which file to use as an inputs (code, modem & csc) in odin3.

Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
There should be a file called OJP_JG9.tar that is about 340-350 Megabytes. You should use that as CODE.

But the other files you mention should be inside that.

Which rom for best battery performance?

Hello all,

I'm looking for a rom (no matter custom of official) which provides best battery performance.

Any opinions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
I havent noticed significant differences. I guess you would have to search the thousands of threads about ppl claiming that some firmware has better or worse batterylife.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ufuuu:
I'm using CFLagFix and my battery run down less than 21 hours :(

I guess it's because of LagFix, I'm gonna return a stock rom with no LagFix. But which one :)

Edit: Actually, when I apply LagFix, first 2 days was normal. My battery run down in 2 days, as normal. But now (4th day :)) it can not see even 1 day... And my battery usage (wifi, gaming, etc) is almost same... Why is this difference? And it's a significant difference I think...

Hi

Turning the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power does not work on my galaxy s i9000.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mykron:
"adb reboot download"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] junglist1996:
Ah cool. Many thanks Darkstriker! :)

edit: I note that XWJM1 is a European ROM. Shouldn't he flash to a HK ROM so that Kies will recognize it as such and update it with the newest HK ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
You can do a registry hack for the recognition but i suppose a hk rom would indeed be easier

reply=

if you can enter download mode .. clear the data with odin

just enter into download mode conect ur device to odin n then select the pit file.. and do not select anyother file and start the flashing process..

after that

again go into download mode and flash with the desired version of firmware .. and ur problem should be solved.. you may also find some threads on this topic in this forum..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
Well for one thing, I have flashed without the battery cover but for anybody with an amount of common sense sufficient to survive will make sure their battery doesn't fall out. I also put that in the instructions.

I firmly believe that this is quite sufficient.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pissywhissy:
okay, ty again..

i found where pit and pda is, but which is modem and csc? Are they together in the same package? If so, do i put the same directory for csc and modem in odin?

for my thing, this is pit "s1_odin_20100803.pit", this is pda "I9000UGJG8-PDA-Kernel-Bootloader-CL440317-Low.tar"

the remaining folder i have is0" \I9000DTJG4\I9000DTJG4\ADD_OPS.tar"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
In that case, the PDA contains all necessary files. DTJG4 is a different firmware, so dont mix them!

Radio ROM

Is there anything we need to know about the version of the radio that we flash? I have a I9000M (Bell). I asking this in general and specifically with respect to the radio file JM8 version. Are there compatability issues with the various radio ROMs?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
The normal modem files should work for you (I haven't read anything specific about issues with JM8 modem) and if you encounter problems you can always just go back to original version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gwwaters:
Apologies up front if already asked, but I have searched the forums, googled, read, disected the first 5 posts, poked and prodded everywhere I could think... now the questions...

When flashing a new firmware what happens to the apps I have downloaded?

Are they still there?

Do I need to download them again?

If I have to download again, then what about paid for apps?

The market seems to know what apps I have downloaded, after I flash does it still know? Should I record the list of apps that I have somewhere?

What about application data? Is it there or gone?

Should I factory reset and clear cache? What does that do to my apps? And data?

I am assuming that flashing new firmware is like getting a "new" phone - no downloaded apps and data is gone. It is just that I have not read anywhere that says that.

The answers to these questions might be good to put in the the first few posts in this thread.

Thanks much!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jurguh87:
Hey darkstriker,

The last thing i can't find is, can i use

My current csc (jf1) with fw jm8 so you only check the box pda and phone in odin or do i have to get a newer csc and where can i find it hope you've got a answer so i can flash to newer fw thanks in a advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
This is something you will simply have to try.

Probably: Yes.

If you do have problems I would suggest doing a factory reset. If that doesn't help, you will find a large number of CSCs in the thread where the JM8 firmware is posted.
