I can't get it either. It kinda seems like they pulled it.

I wonder if it was because it was wiping peoples phones with no warning & Bell or Samsung got complaints?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danamoult:
Will this work on the international SGS i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes, i9000 = i9000m
[Galaxy S I9000 General] warfanax:
Same here...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yhdks:
OK, I just flashed my i9000M with JG8 and Kies doesn't let me upgrade its firmware to JH2. -_- what should I do? where can you download JH2?

argh

has anyone tried flashing i9000M with i9000 firmwares such as I9000XWJM5? Does 850 3G band work?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lockpick:
Has anyone been able to get Odin or Kies running on a linux box?

I don't have any window machines of my own, and don't want to set up dual boot.

or is there an alternative way to flash new firmwares that I haven't read about?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] warfanax:
this pisses me off. What the hell is that? why the hell a company releases a firmware and then pulls it back within 2 days.

Also I am wondering if anyone successfully did the upgrade from UGJG9 ??? maybe the update was only available for other firmwares other than UGJG9 since the beginning?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yhdks:
I upgraded from JG9, but now with JG8, it doesn't work. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
I'm not sure we should be convincing people with i9000's to flash with i9000m firmware, at least not until we know exactly why Samsung gave their model a special designation..

Are we 100% sure they are EXACTLY the same? Whilst the firmware currently works (I have installed an i9000M firmware on a i9000 before), can we be 100% sure they will in the future (has every IC been confirmed as the same)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rocketpaul:
im confused what is the newest firmware, I thought it was JM5?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
We're all confused :) Maybe we should make a list with build dates so we can get some grip on it. Phonecode *#*#44336#*#* will give you firmware info and a build date. I have JM2 with a build date: july 23

Anyway, it looks like Bell JH2 will become available soon for us all on SamsungFirmwares. Let's look if all those claims are true :) (hope so)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Ok, flashed it :

pit 512 and only the downloaded tar file (contains modem.bin and dbdata.bin, so it contains the whole shabam :) )

working great. Now the testing...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bub181:
Does this firmware have any network operator branding or apps? Does it work fine on the European i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rajendra82:
From the Captivate side of things here. Wondering if your JH2 is similar to our JH2 (GPS Locks better, ROM works a bit faster, Media Scanning behavior improved). I also want to know if you can still see and download some market apps that we can't (Asphalt 5 HD, G4TV, SQLite Editor, etc.). If you ever find a fix on the missing market apps, please let me know, as that's the only JH2 thing bugging me right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaju123:
There is only one file with the downloaded JH2 firmware. Is that a PDA file?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanoo-eg:
Can we use this version in Europe?

If yes, maybe its better to use CSC & Phone from an other europian version (JM2 for example?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
You don't want to flash this all-in-one, it will change your radio and may well mess you up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
Am I right in thinking that Samset and most other custom ROMs won't work with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] warfanax:
How come still I cant see any upgrade option for my JG9 on KIES ? What the hell is that?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yep, you'll pretty much will have to push it back to JG8 or something else, then go forward to JH2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tylerham:
Thanks. For a custom ROM, the Bell i9000M will have to flash the proper Bell Modem tar, but the PDA tar can come from any Galaxy S, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dirhael:
I just tried flashing my Norwegian I9000, and it worked just fine. I did return to JM5 though, because JH2 only contains English and French. I also benchmarked it in Quadrant just after flashing, and got a score of 900. As my primary reason for upgrading was to avoid having to use the unofficial lag fix, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by skipping this one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
dido !

might be my corp network at work blocking it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
Mind you, the Quadrant score tells you absolutely nothing about whether the given firmware needs lagfix or no. Case in point - the Arabic JPJG8 is perfectly lag free, yet it still gives you "only" about 850 in Quadrant. That's because with lagfixes, Quadrant doesn't really measure realistic data and spits out nonsensically high figures instead.

People really need to stop relying on simple benchmark figures so much thinking they can be trusted under all circumstances.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Some quick findings:

* GPS is not fixed.. still <= 10 locked sats and snr >= 20

* it supports only a 3G connection, as soon as the signal is too weak and the phone wants to switch to G it simply turns the connection off. (maybe another modem will fix this) (BTW the modem is contained in the tar file)

* in contrast to the Captivate rom there is a h icon when hsdpa is working

* no need for flashing a "european" kernel after flashing the firmware. Flashing the tar file will do.

* do not use CSC files from other fw versions. This will result in an error. The tar file contains a dbdata.bin so you don't need to flash a seperate CSC tar

* feels smoother than the JM2 firmware.

* No bell bloatware. Just one or two additional apps.

* Only languages supported by the firmware are English and French

* Swype only contains the following languages: US English, Deutch, Francais, Italiano, Espanol, Francais Canadien

* (edit) and yes, the media scanning is actually faster.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
Flash the correct radio for your region.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Yeah, I thought so. Will try that tomorrow.

Any idea how to get other firmware languages working?

Swype we can update, but the firmware language?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ChiGGz:
so did anyone on Bell JG9 flash this successfully using ODIN or whatever method that is not Kies?

Please comment on usability after flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lockpick:
Same here
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gochris:
Flashed finally :)

You still have to go to Settings -> Location & Security -> Use Wirless Networks to fix the GPS.

That fixes it entirely for me, quick gps lock indoors in a few seconds. Seems most people might not be doing this??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ChiGGz:
Did you have a JG9 phone?

What method did you use to flash it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
I had JG9 that shipped on my phone and did the update via Kies to JH2. about 3 days ago now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scouzer:
I don't have access to JH2 on Kies for my Bell SGS either. This phone is really starting to piss me right off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Flashed this firmware on a SGS i9000. I like the way how snappy it is. Definitely want to keep this on my phone BUT it isn't possible to get a data connection over GSM. I only can get a 3G connection (with hsdpa, so 3.5g really) but when it loses signal it switches the data connection off . (also, in the service menu I can only select wcmda, when I select gsm the data connection turns off)

Flashed several modems, even the Captivate one, but i'm afraid it isn't going to work. UNLESS .... ? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
if I dun care with the data connection over gsm - issue, how can a european i9000 owner like me flash this firmware? Actually I'm on JM2, never used Kies but Odin3.

I'm not really familiar with this relatively new way to pack the firmwares; for example JM2 had 3 different .tar files, it was obvious to pick the right .tar one for PDA/Phone/CSC. Now with the JH2 I see only 1 .tar file, does that mean I have to browse the same .tar to each option and then Odin3 can pick what it needs from the archive?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mikulec:
no, u just put the tar to pda and leave the others blank
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
thanks! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ownhd2:
Hi will JH2 work in the uk i have a samsung galaxy s

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
I have a problem with the gprs (data over gsm) here in the Netherlands, UMTS 3g works great though. For the rest it is practically the same firmware as the i9000 firmware (except that you can't select a data band in the settings menu)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ownhd2:
Hi is it true theres only one file so if i flash with odin i dont need any other files e.g moden and csc files
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
yeah, thats what I was talking about ~5 posts above yours :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
And some 15 posts above that one ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
owned

ok, you got me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
Funny, very funny... :) After I flashed JH2, I _cant_ get it to use on 3G networks, only on EDGE, and theres no menu option to change between CDMA/WCDMA/GSM networks. :)

Tbh its okay for me since I prefer edge over 3g for better battery conservation. System itself is great.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattzaj:
Where are you guys accessing the band selection menu? I can't seem to find it in the settings menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K_19:
JG9 here also... my Kies doesn't detect the damn thing either :confused:. Really keen to try it out too, not because of lag/GPS problems (which I don't have for some reason), but for strange glitches in music playback I'm getting. Is this available anywhere else to download?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
it's on http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/samsungi9000.htm as was stated a few pages bac, and you can just flash it with odin now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
in JH2 theres no such option at all, thats why you cant find it (you cant switch between gsm and cdma/wcdma using JH2)

under wireless and network you can find mobile network settings, thats where you can switch between network operators tho

I dont see any reason why should anyone use Kies - on win7 x64 I can move files simply with the WindowsExplorer, and when I want to update the firmware Odin3 is the way to go.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
Kies is for the average consumer, not us XDA-types. How many Joe Average users know to go to samsung-firmwares.com, what a PIT file is, how to use ADB, etc?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
grab it from samsung firmware .com and using odin3 to flash it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
Yes, changing the modem doesn't work, sorry. Spoke a bit prematurely yesterday. Anyway, if you want working firmware with the speed of this one, you can try the Arabic JPJG8 - no problems with 3G/EDGE (at least on my phone) and the responsiveness is exactly the same.

Yes, same here, also experiencing exactly the opposite of what most reports of this fw on international I9000 say ;) (and also prefering it)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gochris:
Don't know if this matters, but keep in mind that Bell, does not have a 2g/gsm/edge network.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aylarth:
I would agree if we weren't in the Galaxy S I9000 Android Development section. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aquenne:
Ive got a bell galaxy s, currently running the stock I9000UGJG9 (havent touched anything yet). I want to upgrade mainly to correct the GPS. At first it would just take awhile to lock on, but now, I cannot even connect even under a clear blue sky, using GPS Test, it finds 3 or 4 satellites, but never locks on.

Ive tried all kinds of stuff, but cannot get Kies to connect. Tried to unmount int / ext SD, formatted both, still will not connect. tried multiple computers, XP, 7..

So, I guess I will try this ODIN method.

So ive downloaded the s1_odin_20100512.pit file and the JH2 firmware file.

Reading the Flash guide, it says your phone must be SIM unlocked. Is that true even if im flashing to an official Bell firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
when i got my phone with JG9 it worked perfectly out of the box.

so i'm surprised that you are having trouble with the GPS

I'll suggest you to take it back and exchange it for another one that has a working GPS.

it takes about 5 sec to lock and become useful with any GPS software.

you can alwasy try to flash it to JH2 first, then return it if it's still no good.

in odin3 check repartition

use 512.pit file

use JH2 firmware files

flash

done

reboot the phone,

*2767*3855#

clearn factory data retore

now test again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aquenne:
Thx for the quick reply.

What does the re-partition do? I flashed without checking it.

It appears to be working, and definitely a huge improvement on the GPS, i was able to lock on indoors within 15sec.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] K_19:
Sorry for the newbness but I'd like to do this properly since it's the first time I'm using Odin to flash...

So I downloaded the JH2 firmware file as well as the odin itself, and the 512.pit or whatever that is. How do I proceed from here? There seems to be PDA, Phone and CSC Categories, which files do I load for each? And as it's been asked already, do I check repartition or not (and what does it do anyway?)?

Also, some guides say you have to be SIM unlocked, which I am not. Does it matter at all?

Eager to proceed but want to do this right...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ChiGGz:
Just used Odin, at initial glance, looks like the GPS is more accurate, my lock time was fine to begin with so that wasn't an issue.

But now I lost the SWYPE keyboard!

Anywhere I can get this reinstalled?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
Load the PIT file in the PIT file section, obviously, and the all-in-one JH2 firmware is loaded via the PDA section. No need to reformat, no need to be SIM unlocked (this is Bell firmware anyway) but never a bad idea to remove the SIM and MicroSD cards during the process.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rpritch:
Am I doing something wrong...I connected to Kies and selected firmware update...Kies says there is no update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lockpick:
I don't know about Swype, but I put "SlideIT Soft Keyboard" on my wifes desire and it works pretty good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gochris:
I never really noticed much lag before this update, but now I have it quite often on this rom.

Arg.

And once again to the people with GPS problems have you enabled "Use Wireless Networks" in the Location & Security settings?????????????

If not, it's not a-gps but just gps, and that takes longer to work.

okay so im pretty new to the whole rooting world and all but I manager to flash cm6 rc 2 onto my htc dream. I followed all the steps and did what all the guides told me but my phone always crashes and gets stuck on the boot screen when i download too many apps this is about the 4th r 5th time this has happened and i even noticed it with cm5 is it. Am i doing something wrong are am i not allowed to add too many apps with this custom rom( i think i had about 20-35 apps).!!
[G1 Android Development] motoman234:
Well with CM5 we had apps2ext, with CM6 we dont. You may have all the internal storage filled up and leaving it not enough space to do its thing. So i would delete a few of your big apps and see if that helps. If you feel comfortable with it you can download firerats script to get them on you SD's extention if you have partitioned your card.

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
I can make another version with it included. Just the dialer or Contacts as well? Both are attached here from AOSP if you wish to replace them yourself. You will need something like Root Explorer to make /system RW and replace the files in /system/app or use the following commands

adb remount rw

adb push Phone.apk /system/app

adb push Contacts.apk /system/app

adb reboot

If this is a common want, how far do you guys want me to take it? There is also Gallery3d and a few other AOSP apps that I can drop in here.
