I've been using it for about a week now and out works great. Really stable and much easier on the battery than some of the foreign roms I've tried.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wink4life:
Ok so im using UGJU8 so just to make it clear how would i go about upgrading to jk3 just so i do t screw it up lol thanks guys!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
That wouldn't exactly be an 'upgrade' per se, more like a side step. :)

Go into recover, format the sd card, wipe the cache partition, factory reset.

shut it down again and start up Odin 1.7. add jk3 to the pda section and reboot your phone into download mode.

connect it to your pc and ensure that odin can see it then hit Start.

Once it's finished flashing, shut it down and then go into recovery menu again - repeat as above: format sd card, wipe cache partition, factory reset and restart.

That should do it.

Just be sure to have your SIM and microSD cards removed before doing any flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wink4life:
Ok cool thanks ill give it a shot.

Seems that u know what ur talking about ill ask u this lol

I was teading in the section with the roms and i came across [rom] Doc_V1.3_BellI9000UGJK3

Do you have any advice or input on that the forum seems a little confusing for my brain i put roms on this phone before so i have a prerty good idea about roms but the forum has way too many links i just want to ask how i could install that rom and if i can use odin thanks again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
Looks new. I'm not familiar with the Docs roms. I haven't tried any, myself.

They would have specific instructions that you would have to read up on in their own thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Odin is not used for installing Doc's roms ClockWork Mod Recovery is used.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wink4life:
Only reaaon why i asked is because i saw bell jk3 in the name so i figured it works the best with my phone i dunno lol but ill give it a go :)

Or just find another decent stable rom thanks guys
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keroma:
I got a problem after i upgraded it.

After it was upgraded and rebooted, I saw the 2.2 screen and I restarted my phone manually. Now it keep rebooted every 5 seconds at the "Galaxy S i9000m" Screen.

How can i fix it?

P.S. Hold home, up + power doesn't work, but Hold home, down + power works
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C.Flat:
Your phone has the sd card corruption.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keroma:
What can i do now????

Need to give back Bell to repair?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
Absolutely. They had a bad batch. I'm on my second SGS. This second one has been flawless so far, though. Straight out of the box GPS locked on within 5 seconds indoors.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C.Flat:
It's a pretty big batch too. I had two die with manufacturing dates of October 31st before I used my exchange plan to get a Desire Z
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
Fortunately I got my second some time in November. Maybe I lucked out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C.Flat:
If you sign up on the Samsung Mobile site you can register your device and you it will show you the manufacture date
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
I'll check it out. But so far so good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wink4life:
Ok this may be a dumb question but i just updated to jk4 froyo 2.2

Now can i still root my phone? And can i still root using the same method as i did previous firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kinghorsey:
Not a dumb question.

Yes you can root it. I don't know what method you used before so i can't tell you if it will work :D

I had to use adb and push superuser files over and manually root mine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
I was pointed to SuperOneClick as being compatible with JK4. Piece of cake - worked as advertised.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
Protected apps should show up in a day or so, looks like Samsung forgot to forward the info to Google on this one, or Google just didn't update the market yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
Oh, ok, sounds good. I was kind of thinking that this might be the case. Thanks for the confirmation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karakake:
I just flashed mine with JG8 following Croak's advice but my SGS is still I9000!!

I guess mine lost its identity lol :) well I don't really mind coz I know there will be an update for european version in the near future
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
I think you need to select the same file for all 3 options in Odin.. PDA, PHONE, and CSC. If you only selected it under PDA, I believe it only flashes the PDA portion of the tar file.

Give that a try and see if it works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
What's it say in the "About" section?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JaY_III:
FYI

I can't do the 3 button combo

Did the update and still can not to the combo.

also my IMEI now ends in /04 (was /03 pre-update)

Croak i also tried the method you told me with it plugged in with no luck.

Anyway i can bribe you with beer or something to show me how your meathod works. this is driving me insane
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vancouver_hawk:
just updated quadrant is 905... some new software includes kobo, Samsung IM, and youtube HD 1.6.20(e). phone feels way snapier but you lose all your data including apps :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JaY_III:
We had Kobo before this update.

not that it much of a big deal anyhow
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
I'm having issues performing the update, did you guys do it through Kies? I've tried it on my Win XP laptop and my Win 7 desktop at 99% battery and both reject it for insufficient battery. Can anyone shed some light? I'm on a stock JG9 using the version of Kies on the Galaxy S page.(The only one I can get working)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
No problems with about 40% battery at the start, using Kies 1.5.1.10074_2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bouzoubaa:
can we update the european i9000 with this one ??!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Can someone upload this version? (Or is it only possible to get it via Kies?)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
I say, let's give it a try :) I managed to get the Captivate fw running on my device (after flashing a Galaxy S kernel) so maybe this one will work also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bouzoubaa:
JH2 is already available for captivate .. if u can update with captivate then u have your rom already ...

can u please tell me how u flashed captivate on EU I9000... on all forums there is the warning to keep away from US/Canada firmwares if using international SGS. Asian and african roms are ok though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Here's my warning: i'm a flasholic, I flash everything I can put in Odin. I even flashed parts of the new tab firmware this morning. O yeah and some beam firmware too :cool: a bit like this:

[YOUTUBE]z08zZ1xW9Yw[/YOUTUBE]

But here's how I flashed the Captivate fw:

I first flashed the whole capt. fw tar file, then I flashed a Galaxy the stock JM5 kernel I found here and a modem tar file, I believe also from JM5.

It worked like a charm.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
BTW if this is the same update as the JH2 for the Captivate (as asserted earlier) then i'm really interested in this fw. The Capt. JH2 version had a GPS fix, but the fw is clearly test rom (active logging etc) . So maybe the bell version is a release version of that same firmware? I'm very interested in hearing about the GPS experiences users have with this rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bouzoubaa:
i m just playing devil's advocate here ... as i always understood is that the GPS, WIFI, 3G are all handeled by the modem part of the rom ... if you flash with JH2 and then put JM5 modem to make it work on EU SGS, wouldn't it just be killing the GPS fix !!!?? really need someone to clarify this ..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
For all those hoping that this will "magically" enable the three button combo: Don't count on it! The reason we can restore from failed flashes by using the download mode is because the flash doesn't touch it! So it is highly unlikely that this can be fixed by a normal flash!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
Use kies when you flash.. as it has seem to change my boot recovery screen. as it will do a full flash. Odin would not do this for me it was only until I used Kies that it changed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you know you can flash it using Odin? and not have to worry about getting KIES to recognize your phone as i9000M

just wait for the firmware to land at Samsung-firmwars.com
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
I had the same problem. I just went into settings> privacy> factory reset. After this completed, the update went fine at 45% battery life.

Sent from my GT-I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
It's a problem with the firmware itself. On the Captivate they changed (or better: are in the process of changing) the gps driver.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
When they change it, aren't they just changing which servers to connect to? Also, my i9000m came stock connecting to the Google SUPL which in theory should be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
No the problem lays on a more fundamental software level. It's not as simple as the change of the aGPS user plane location.

Did you flashed the new Bell firmware? Do you notice some difference in the GPS performance?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
my GPS is the same. it has always worked good for me.. but the rom seems to be alot smother.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Draiter:
How do you get the update? Will it show up on the Samsung apps program on the phone or do I need to download kies for the pc?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it shows up in Kies
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JaY_III:
You can install the update with kies.

If you are having probkems connecting your phone to your computer, make sure you use a usb port on your motherboard and not your case
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
I tried the GPS on the new rom, and it seems to be a relatively quick lock, a few seconds most of the time. Of course this may just be my placebo of wishing for a good lock since I didn't do any extensive testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
Hey guys. New user here. I just purchased my SGS earlier today from Bell and have spent the last few hours doing some in-depth research. I just downloaded Kies today only to find that an update is available for it. My phone is charging right now and I'll fill everyone in on any performance issues after the upgrade is done. I ran a Benchmark test prior to charging and it scored 883 right out of the box. I'll run another test after the upgrade.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
I would recommend doing one of the lag fix patches, that way you can get the benchmark up to around 2k.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
I'm a little timid when it comes to doing those thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm fairly tech savvy. It's just that I'm not familiar with the steps I need to take to get this done. I guess the only thing I'm really skeptical about is whether or not the lagfix {whatever the best one is} is compatible with my device specifically. Actually, could someone kindly point me to a guide with a trustworthy lagfix that would work with my SGS Vibrant? I got it specifically from Bell {Canada}.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DvTonder:
Careful with the lagfixes. They hosed my vibrant and i had to return it for a replacement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
Did they? As long as your device has recovery it should be okay. I used the oneclick lagfix by RyanZA on my Bell GT-I9000m no problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Draiter:
Just outta curiosity, are people removing the lag fix prior to updating? and then reapplying after?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] brunes:
Installed the update a while ago. Been using it heavily all afternoon. My brief $0.02:

- No warning in Kies to back up your data before flashing; I was not thinking and blindly installed it, lost all apps and settings and contacts. Was quite peeved for a bit.

- I notice no more lag, or at least, it is significantly decreased. ROM seems MUCH snappier overall

- Have not been outside so haven't had a chance to test GPS.

- An app has been added to the ROM; some eBook reader / purchase platform. have not played with it much yet.

- No improvements to AllShare, it still can not stream HD video to the phone.

- Download mode and recovery mode remain disabled, no fix for that here.

This is 100% wrong. Carrier ROM updates can TOTALLY update the SPL, carriers do it on a routine basis. In this instance, yes there is no fix, but this could be fixed by any random carrier upgrade.

Sorry to call you out so harshly but there is a lot of misinformation in this SGS board and it is getting annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rumy:
Hey guys,

Just got the samsung from bell and love the screen!

Quick question? do you still need the lag fix after the update?

Thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
I've just upgraded to the new official firmware provided by Kies {The JH2} and there hasn't been any notable change in my benchmark results, still hovering around the 900 range. I really want to install this lagfix but I'm petrified something will happen to my phone. Do you guys recommend any particular lagfixes. I'm just looking for whatever lagfix is least likely to screw up my phone afterward.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
I personally see the one click lag fix as the least likely to make human error seeing as the majority of the process is automated for you. And yes, I noticed that after the update that my benchmark had little to no improvement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
did you try the 3 button combo?

does it work

see this wiki http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M

what is the last few numbers of your serial number?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
I did it over top of the RyanZA version, just to see what would happen. Since it was a full flash, there was no issues, it nuked everything and started from scratch.

Gave the GPS a good workout today, went for a cross-border motorcycle ride, and at every stop the GPS would lock up inside of 15 seconds, and my location matched what my very reliable Garmin Zumo was saying. One of my stops was pretty much in the boonies, with NO cell phone coverage, and I still got a lock inside of a minute.

Leaving the phone in clear map cover of my tank bag, it also tracked pretty good while on the move from what I could see.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that's good news, yay!

but it doesn't affect me :p

however i'm sure the maniac group with GPS fail, will love to hear this story, and then label you as a liar, because apparently to them anyone with a good working GPS, we're liars.... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
Darn... I KNEW something was gonna go wrong, now I'm petrified that I may have a brick. I tried to root my phone through the "One-Click Root" method. Everything had gone fine until the phone had booted into the system recovery. The instructions specifically say that I'm to highlight the "reinstall packages" option, but on my phone it isn't there. There four options are as follows...

reboot system now

apply sd card:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Does anybody know what I should do in this case? By rebooting, am I just setting myself up for a brick? Or do I just choose to apply sd card:update.zip and not worry? Please help...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PrinceOD:
So, if one were using a Mac and their windows VM wasn't detecting the phone when it was plugged in to the USB port, would there be another way of flashing this firmware update? I had Kies all set up, but no love when the phone was plugged in - I tried front and rear USB ports.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
I believe the only way to do this on a Mac is with a dual boot osx/windows situation using Boot Camp. Using parallels or other VM's, from what I've heard, do not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vancouver_hawk:
ok I had a problem with GPS as well on initial bell rom but with this update it fixes under 10 seconds. I was able to update the rom with 69% of battery left... my three buttons always worked (both recovery and download mode). :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PrinceOD:
Shoot, that's what I was afraid of. Looks like I'll have to call the laptop in to service... sadly, the laptop is at the lake. Well, I will keep following this thread to see what people think of the update. I had some GPS flakiness with my first Galaxy S, but after replacing that one (due to crashes, I didn't realize the GPS was working as poorly as it was after coming from Windows Mobile devices previously) I've been getting very quick fixes.

I'm really looking forward to a Samsung FroYo release, the Google voice search seems much more intuitive than the one you can grab from the Samsung app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
That's normal, if you want to root, simply hit apply sd card:update.zip, if you don't, then you can just reboot system now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Singhman:
just updated...

just updated to new firmware, and at first my gps would not work at all. Then about 5 mins later, i stepped outside, and tried it again, and literally 1-2 seconds to lock in!

WOW!

Now i'm sitting on my couch in my living room, about 10 feet from closest window, and can lock into gps literally instantly (within 1-2 seconds). My gps worked before too, but not this fast. Before it would take about 10 seconds or so. So far, so good.

UPDATE: 2 days later, its back to how it was before...sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
Thanks for the heads up. After hours and hours of research i finally managed to lagfix my phone after updating to this new firmware. I hit a benchmark score of 2200 whereas before i could barely crack 900. I can confirm that Ryan's lagfix works on thr phones provided from bell.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
this is so cool, i bet the guys with an Euro SGS i9000 would want to flash JH2 now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
Do we happen to have the necessary files to flash JH2 from odin? I am trying out JP3 right now but would always like something to fall back on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gochris:
This update doesn't prevent it from being rooted after does it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] litobro:
IIRC, I did a OneClick root after this update. So in short, it shouldn't.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SaneinOne:
I've tried everything to get Kies to detect my SGS to no avail. Looking forward to this build becoming commonly available to flash with Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
Odd... kies is not seeing the update.

When I connect and go to FW it shows my current version and wont allow to update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Torob:
I have a stock Galaxy S on bell and it just has apps on it... I had a couple of questions

Do you need to root to get the lagfixes?

How are you getting benchmark #'s... i'm curious what i get right now

And I read the new update will wipe everything off the phone.... whats the best way to backup EVERYTHING?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jentech:
Yes, you need root to get lag fix.

Benchmarking with Quadrant, available from market.

Use Titanium Backup, available from market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkanius:
So yeah, I'm European and I'm reading the thread

Seems that the GPS is getting quick locks. The question is...

Is it accurate?

If yes, then the GPS was fixed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
It was matching my Garmin Zumo for accuracy while moving (at extra-legal speeds) on my motorcycle yesterday, up in the Cascade mountains with no cell coverage at all in a good chunk of it, so no assist was in place. That seems pretty accurate to me. :)

Locks were fast in coverage areas, and decent with no assist even. It's usable in this state, for sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Arkanius:
Since you said mountains that means the roads weren't perfectly aligned no 90º degrees. That's good

Some of you should get the program MyTracks and do a track of your travel and see if it's perfectly aligned with the roads in Google Maps, just to be sure
[Galaxy S I9000 General] plemen:
Make sure you are running the default Launcher and not LauncherPro or ADW Launcher... Kies,mtp, etc connections don't work on my phone unless I switch to the default launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mattzaj:
I can't seem the get Kies to upgrade the firmware on my phone. I get the following popup when I click "Firmware Upgrade" where the upgrade button is unclickable and the message "this device's version cannot by updated", what am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] plemen:
Yes you need to root to apply the lag fix. I've tired running with and without lagfix and the only difference I notice is the Quadrant benchmark score... other than that all apps and the phone in general are snappy with and without lag fix... anybody else notice this?

From what I understand the lagfix speeds data io by using an ext fs rather than Samsung's - so my question is - does it really make a difference on the Bell i9000m in day to day usage?

fyi the Quadrant score went from 850ish to 2230ish...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freshko:
You do not have the stock firmware, probably.
