[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
nah my dxjf4 had it, still get that error after trying 513, i tried running ODIN in xp(sp3) compatibility mode and now the progress bar is not even moving when i hit start, should i unplug my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HasC:
I had a similar problem to you yesterday when I flashed. I had the S logo and then it just went completely black apart from the two buttons.

I reset the phone to factory state (Vol up, home key + power button), then went into download mode after above step completed (Vol down, home key + power button), reflashed all three files using PIT 512. All was successfull!!!

The reason I reset to factory state was because after initial flash where I had the black sreen, I could not get the phone into download mode. There is no harm in unplugging the cable as i initially panicked and took battery out and tried to restart before doing the factory reset.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
flashed countless time still stuck at boot logo. noticed that when i try to hard reset there around 10 options with all of them saying no and one say yes-erase all data.

should i try and asian ROM instead? or should i try ticking repartition? read somewhere that by ticking repartition it bricks the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
can you just reconfirm where all the 3 files in the zip are suppose to go in ODIN
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HasC:
Sure:

PDA: CODE_I9000XWJM2

PHONE: MODEM_I9000XXJM1

CSC: CSC_I9000OXXJM1

I flashed on an Vista Ultimate laptop.

I ran ODIN as administrator, not sure if it makes any difference though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
still cant, keep getting that error, my pit file is only 1.7kb. is that correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jabbypants:
Load the pit the

PDA = CODE_I9000XWJM2

PHONE = MODEM_I9000XXJM1

CSC = CSC_I9000OXXJM1

Meh beaten to it

With regards to the Pit i have to use the 512 version to flash mine if i use the 513 it hangs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
any1 noticed it is lag when u scrolling with live wallpaper?

and the battery at status bar not change to red when the battery below 10%?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
Still Hangs no matter what i try!

should i tick repartition? when i use ODIN i just use the defaults and load the pits etc. thats all right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HasC:
My PIT file shows at 2kb, I have attached the one I have used.

XDA did not let me upload the .pit file directly so I have zipped it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jabbypants:
Have you tried both pit files ? i normally re-partition it when i use this not sure if i meant to.

You are getting a usb showing in the com window on the left ? also make sure kies isn't running sometimes mine starts up when i put the usb in and have to close it and right click to close it by the bottom right clock area.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
trying the new pit file, it it does not work then will try to repartition, although the new pit file seems the same
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
oh kies was running..

trying again'
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HasC:
If it still does not work, try re-downloading the ROM, it could be that the download may have been corrupted.

I did not use re-partion when flashing, had my sim and memory card in the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
btw have you seen the faq in this section? You should definitely consult it. There a good description in it how to flash new firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
after closing KIES, now the progress bar does not even move
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HasC:
Whilst in download mode, is the COM port highlighted in yellow? if not pull out lead and re-connect until the com port shows. If it does not you may need to download KIES again for the drivers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] speedofheat:
Flashed this FW using the 512 pit file.

Successfully flashed it. Then did a factory reset.

Applied Mimocan's ext4 lag fix kernel.

Rooted using update.zip.

Inserted a partitioned and formatted external microSD (8GB Sony Class 4, 6.5GB Fat32 / 1.5GB ext4)

Ran mimocan's lagfix commands from the terminal on the phone.

rebooted and ran Quadrant. Got a score of 1627.

I'm very happy now. This is the first time I have tried mimocan's fix and it has worked beautifully.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
manage to flash it with kies off but the error is still there... so repartition?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jabbypants:
Take a screen shot of when you have the files loaded in and the usb picked up in odin, you have put the phone in downloading mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
Finally! Repartitioned and it WORKED!!! tks for all the response, may some other noob flasher learn from this
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jabbypants:
Good stuff glad you got it working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Duh. Obviously you should have ticked it after first failed attempt. Glad you managed to flash it! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alovell83:
Not entirely true, while you might be correct for the international users, I have had 2 official FW updates downloaded through Samsung Kies. They treat the Korean SHW-m110s users well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Roy Ngan:
you can get the firmware via Kies???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Roy Ngan:
DXJF3 here too.

I start flashing from JG5, then JM1. All Firmware can support reading Chinese.

For chinese input, you can download Google IME and get it enable in setting. Hope the info helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] naTTan:
Guys with the latest firmware you can choose not to delete sms more then 200.

In the older firmware it won't allow you and people usually just set the sms to 500 max.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alovell83:
I can, but I'm in Korea. I've had 2 FW updates from Kies, but I'm using the Korean Galaxy S SHW-m110s. Here's my FW versions:

Baseband version: M110S.D07.1842.ST (started off D.05. & update #1 IIRC)

Build number ECALIR.DG14 (started off .DG07 & update #2 IIRC)

Again, they are treating their domestic customers better, but domestially this thing is shutting out the iPhone and also they are trying to get ahead of the iPhone 4 which has been delayed indefinitely (previously announced to have shipped in July). The iPhone 3G & 3GS sold between 800k-1M phones here and have a majority of smartphone users, so they are really hoping to win the war here since only 2.5-3.5 citizens will own smartphones here by the end of the year.

Also, they have announced official Froyo to in August, ahead of the international crowd, probably for similar reasons.

I feel I have significantly less issues stock, gps included, without any root than users are typically reporting. However, you guys with your ROMs are getting better quadrant scores :( . I'll probably root sometime after they launch Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] reaper1412:
So, which PIT file did you use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alontorres:
I updated to M2, and everything is silky smooth!

Only thing I've noticed is that the voice recognition API is missing... google search widget doesn't let me voice search and when pressing the mic button on the keyboard I get a message telling me that the voice input component is not installed on this phone.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alovell83:
I looked for a QR code, but just search the market for the app "Google Search by Voice" searching for "voice" will make it the 3rd result but YMMV. If it doesn't say "installed" we know that's your problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madmackem:
definately not the case in mine!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
Beat me to it. Just did this on build JG5 going to install JM2 soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alontorres:
Huh, can't seem to find it in the market....

I'm using market enabler so my location shouldn't be a problem.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
just flashed JM2 using 513 pit and no partitioning. also left in sim and SD. worked fine as usual. quadrant 906. now for mimocan's fix....

edit: in JM2 2G option has gone...not sure if there's an alternative that does the same thing.

edit: after SD card fix i now get 1747. both these figures beat what i got with JG5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] balenax:
network mode - gsm only is the same thing as 2g
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sokota:
The option is there but with another name:

GSM only = 2G

WCDMA = 3G

A quick note regarding the problems many people are having when flashing the latest firmwares (since JG5 I think):

By experience I know that it's necessary to have re-partitioned with pit 512 at least one time. Afterwards It's possible to re-flash with pit 512/513 (without re-partitioning) with no problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
i have never used repartition nor the 512 pit. maybe one needs repartion if one switches between the two pits?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
there is no more battery notification when u fully charged ur battery and below 15%
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cHarOn99:
there is but it is now on the notification bar, which is great because the old way was very annoying!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
Yes, it should be like you say! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sokota:
That's not my personal experience.

I have flashed JM2 with PIT513 and have re-partitioned only on PIT512. I made a test and if I re-partition with PIT513 I couldn't flash the device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
i just ran titanium backup to restore my apps, but it appeared to reinstall all my previous settings (eg. Swype and all pre-installed apps). Does anyone know if this would overwrite the new firmware settings? [obviously, i do not want to overwrite these]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mirceal:
In the morning I flashed M2.

Impressions:

1.My issue related to default Exchange Email client not working was not solved. But now I get the error Can not connect connect to the server. Moxier is working without problems;

2. It's visible faster than before. No lags aat all! Finally I have a high class smartphone!

Maybe the Samsung developers are checking also my issue with the Exchange email client....

I was coming from F5.

Mircea
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ancient_One:
This might be the case. Not sure.

People flashing to JG5 reported having to use 512 PIT as 513 PIT didn't work for them. I had used 513 PIT to flash to JG1 so followed what they recommended in the JG5 thread and used 512 PIT + repartition.

A few have reported that flashing without repartition worked if they used the previous the PIT file they used in a previous repartition.

Is anyone able to confirm this.

If using 512 PIT repartition continue using this for all other builds without repartitioning just flash.

If using 513 PIT repartition continue using this for all other builds without repartitioning just flash.

If you want to go from 512 to 513 PIT then repartition as part of the flash process then stay with 513 PIT for future builds with no repartition.

Would be interesting to prove this theory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
the partition size has change between 512 and 513.. when u change the pit files, u need to check repartition
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] japanfred:
Just flashed using the 512 pit, coming from a stock I9000 (vodafone UK, first flash) and is working a treat. With the ext4 speed fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] welly_59:
i flashed 513 and jf5, then flashed using 512 and jm2. i didnt repartition as odin would hang if i selected repartition
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrej.marinic:
hi all.

bougth this phone on wednesday and was having a lot of problems with both compass and gps. came across this site and after tweaking around with LbsTestMode settings and further bit of reading, decided to flash the phone. initial firmware was I9000XXJF3.

i first flashed to I9000XWJM1 with 513 pit file. everything went perfect and the phone seemed to be faster. also there was a new version of swype with more languages, which i desperately needed. unfortunately, gps and compass remained unusable.

yesterday, i flashed again to I9000XWJM2. again, everything went smooth using pit 513 file again. unfortunately, gps and compass are still useless.

for a price of 400 quid, this is unacceptable. shame really, as otherwise it is a very nice phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sullan:
What is pit 512, pit 513 ?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] willemrt:
All good

Flashed my Galaxy S today with WJM2 & 512, works great except the GPS actually got worse from stock.

From what I can observe it appears that the A-GPS isnt working and its relying solely on getting proper satellite lock. i.e. no using mobile phone tower data. This makes location a bit slow. [edit]Oops.. nope I'm a noob, it just wasn't turned on.

However other than that it is sooooo speedy compared the stock optus firmware I was using.

I also had to enter the APN's manually. Not sure if that could be related to the A-GPS issue though?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
Hmmm...I'm also missing the voice recognition on JG5, I was searching here to see if JM2 added it in. Apparently not necessarily based on this.

Interesting that no matter what keywords I use in the Market, I can't find the Google Search by Voice. If someone can post an actual link that brings it up in the market, that would be great.

edit: P.S. - I don't see that in the Market on my Nexus One either. Strange.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hihihehe:
i can see it at Market with all the firmwares that I have flashed..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] distortedloop:
That's good to know, but doesn't help me much. :D

Very strange.

Guess I'll wipe and check out this ROM, maybe it will show up then, but still odd that it doesn't show on my Nexus One either. I'm in the US, could that be it?

I'm very happy with JG5, so wasn't in a rush to install this one, but getting my voice input back would be worth the hassle.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] K3yMaster:
Finally got time to update to JM2. Getting Quadrant score around 1550 :)

This rom seems very fast compared to stock and G5.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] waterballoon:
I dunno if this is the right place to post this, but I've flashed the jM2 firmware, however when my phone rebooted, it showed the start-up screen, and then there was a blank screen with only the bottom row keys lighted up; I've waited for close to an hour but nothing happens.

Odin has said that that the phone has been "rebooted" & it's a "success", so where did I go wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sjdean:
I've just flashed to XWJM2.

Im not entirely convinced it's genuine. It seems a bit too geeky, things like the addition of a Task Manager, a GPS icon in the Notification area which doesn't beep when you turn it on and off like WiFi and Bluetooth, and four good but really grainy pictures in the Gallery. Is that really the best Samsung could do?

We got the fact that it has an "M" instead of a "G" for July in the code. Then someone over at Modaco, says it's not Odexed the same as the other roms.

Also apart from the new naming structures of XWJM1 and XWJM2, they've gone a bit silent in terms of the next XWJG6 etc release.

Still, Im off to test my GPS. At first glance, there's no real improvement. But time will tell.

In JM2 there's no coverflow function in the MP3 player. Anyone know how to get that back?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
hmm this may not be related but im having camera issues with this ROM, it may not be specific to this ROM though. When i got my phone with JF4 my camera was working fine, however afetr installing apps it started to behave weirdly, thought that flashing jm2 would fix the problem, but me being impatient, i quickly rooted it to get everything going and now the camear problems still exist. It could be that the root is making my camera behave strangely. if you want more information you can read my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734143
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Qazz~:
PIT 512 and repartioned, could be because it was my first time flashing
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] demon-knight:
Upgraded from JG3 to M2 used pit 513 no repartition flashed successfully.

Rooted and got lag fix on Quadrant score is 1675

Very pleased as it is first flash!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sjdean:
In some respects, I think the GPS is even worse on this firmware.

It seems to me that the underlying driver may provide two bits of information to the OS and the programs running on the OS - the accuracy - 5m, 10m etc is one bit, the other bit is the signal strengths and satellite views.

What I've seen, booting MyTracks up for the first time, is even while the phone is trying to get a lock, MyTracks is reporting something like a 5m accuracy. Then a lock will be established, and MyTracks will show more like a 30m accuracy and put me 20m away.

This is shown further in GPS Test.

Accuracy will report at 100ft with 6 satellites for example, then show at 16ft with three.

Again, it's like Samsung has put some strange buffering into the software - and it clearly isn't working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] audit8321:
you could enable that in settings (of the music player...obviously)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrej.marinic:
that is also one thing that i cannot understand. you're not the first one reporting such a high quadrant score, yet i cannot get more than 895 (tested several times, both on power and on battery, with and without external SD).

did you do anything else apart from just flashing the phone, i.e. use a custom rom?

thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pepitodequetequejas:
My tracks and Maps are totally innacurate for me , zigzags of 50m in a second and continuous loss of signal , but the same track with sport tracker or copilot is very accurate, like night and day (5-10m medium accuracy in about 2Km , inside a city ).

Is same track, work to home (2Km) a i try many times (3 with MyTracks , 4 sport tracker , 1 copilot ).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sjdean:
I think what you see in SportsTracker, is SportsTracker trying to be intelligent and dampen the signal down. I've seen times where it hasn't understood I've turned in another direction and has me going in a straight line. Once the GPS has caught up, SportsTracker starts drawing in a big long sweep.

Trouble is, I think Samsung are putting in this kind of thinking into their GPS. Consequently, Im not seeing a fix for the GPS anytime soon if they're resorting to hacks like this to make their GPS work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fua:
how u get so big quadrant scores?

with M1 i had 920

M2 only 850 :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] appelflap:
You're right. I can manually choose coverflow from the menu, but I can't choose to set it to the view I want when I rotate the screen.

Weird design descision. Hope its just for testing purposes...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Kilack:
Yes he is running a lag fix, eg moving the apps to the faster internal nand or moving them to a ext3/ext4 partition on the external sdcard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrej.marinic:
thanks for the answer!

also another question: did anyone else notice a surge in battery drainage after flashing to JM2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] demon-knight:
Nope, all I did was flash the phone then I rooted it and after that applied mimocan lag fix. Thing runs sweet as a nut, I already thought it was fast when I first got the phone as until recently I was using an Omnia i900.

Im also using an a sandisk 4gb sd card formatted with fat32 on the first partition and then ext4 on the second. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MarvinTheAndroid:
I used this as a guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732199

The important bit is to make sure that Odin is running BEFORE you connect your phone to your windows machine.

I used the 512 .pit file from here: https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galaxy S/Firewares , Updates and Odin?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU

Using the 513 .pit file the flash went ok but I ended up with a black screen when the phone rebooted.

Good luck.
