I have the market problems others have reported with this fw. Some seem to think this is to do with people downgrading from Froyo, but that's not the case here - I've only ever had JG1 before upgrading to JM8.

First I had the zombie downloads where the downloads would never start. After some repeated data wipes and cache clearings I can now no longer log in using either of my google accounts - after a minute or two waiting for the sign-in process to complete I get the error 'can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.'

I grabbed all the apk files from my /data backup and installed things manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
These are just quite common market hickups, not the zombie downloads that some Froyo adventurers experience. Or did it install random apps you never touched in the market? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TWickerman:
well i found a solution.

i finish all the process with green light on odin.

and next i made a wipe and a reset ( vol up + home + power) and vuala!, its work. and after i put a tayutama rom 1.1

thanx to all.

pd- downgrade from froyo ( i buy it on france, so i had a froyo develop on my galaxy)

Thanks, it was a CSC related problem. I was an idiot and didn't notice I was using a multi-csc so I left out the selection step at the end. Market works now.

edit: spoke too soon - I can sign in, but still no downloads.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] squall283:
I had the same issue a few hours ago I had JM5 and tried to flash JM8 .

I took out the battery left it that way for a few minutes and after another unsuccessfull attemp.

I changed the USB port and flashed JPK. The Odin passed. :)

Wiped data/factory reset it.

And now the phone work again:)))
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ettepetje:
Make (if not already have) a backup of all your applications + data, and reflash ROM, then restore your backup, being very careful not to overwrite any system/Market stuff. When the Market doesn't show all your applications then use my earlier suggestion. And always make sure you have a backup of your efs folder (IMEI etc.).

General ROM flashing advice really... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrfil13:
Does the phone have to be rooted to run the 'adb shell' section to select the CSC?

Before flashing is there anything i should use to backup any portion of the phone?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrfil13:
I have followed the instructions but as i already had the recommended CSC i only did the PIT, then PDA/Modem.

Now the market wont download and google talk wont open.

I have tried the recovery mode, cache wipe.

Now should i follow instructions and do it again with the CSC or do a factory reset from recovery mode or do the *2767*3855# code.

If i could get away with trying a wipe first i will give that a go. I don't mind loosing all my settings as i backed up the important stuff first, im just not sure of the different reset settings.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snaff:
Market downloads get stuck on starting for me. I haven't found clearing anything fixes that - have tried changing csc, factory reset/cache clear from the boot menu and clearing application caches. Haven't tried it from the * code and I haven't tried completely clearing my sd cards. I don't think I have a problem with google talk.

Googling finds a lot of people on all sorts of phones with the 'starting download' problem, but none of their remedies help here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrfil13:
I tried a factory reset. When it booted twlauncher kept failing.

Followed the instructions fully this time and all is working fine.

I havent had to do the adb shell part though and Market place, phone, gmail, gtalk etc is all ok.

Thanks

(i will follow instructions properly next time)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ad_insane:
I just installed JM8 and checked it with Quadrant and I had 921 in total. After I rooted my phone and used OCLF I get 2100.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] huetson2:
Well done!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
Bugfixes, improvements and most of the work done on Eclair will be useful on FroYo as well for Samsung. Once a problem (let's say: gps fix) has been figured out and solved on Eclair it would be trivial for them to port the fix/improvement on FroYo builds. But the fix/improvement must be done in the first place. Doing this kind of work on a much more mature version like Eclair eases the development.

In fact, these are INTERNAL Samsung releases, so they are not actually "updating" anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] huxflux2003:
Anyone, please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jugster:
Yes, yes, but those are only numbers... How did it feel? JM7 is pretty snappy without lagfix imho. Can you feel any difference between 7 and 8?

/J
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
No need to remove the lagfix first.

Atleast I have never removed it first.

Voodoo seems to be a another story.

Leaving the original CSC should work, but it will leave some old data behind.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ad_insane:
It feels good without lag fix. I used it to install some apps from the market and to sync my accounts. It is really good.

Of course, I cant tell the difference between JM7 and JM8 precisely because JM7 is great as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] odyssey61:
If you have voodoo you should create a file called disable-lagfix in /sdcard with NO extension. Then reboot. If that wasnt done head over to Curios site and read the fix.

http://project-voodoo.org/documentation
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
It is actually a folder called /sdcard/Voodoo/disable lagfix now. ;)

Or just use the APK installer, it has an option to do it for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
Got around the changed access code of Multi CSC selection.

Because I have no programming skills I cannot figure out which variables Samsung used this time to generate the access codes for the preconfiguration ("Multi CSC Selection" menu).

The solution is not pretty, but it works.

Turn on USB debugging and plug in the phone.

Open command prompt and type:

adb shell

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig

Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install".

The phone will reboot once the change is done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erunamor:
Is there any CSC for Spain?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
What would you recommend in terms of speed and stability? JH1 or JM8? As I still haven't seen anything as good in terms of speed as jh1...

BTW, cheers for great work with firmwares!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocRambone:
1st test gives that jm8 is better than jh1 :)

Snappier and more mature.. looks very nice
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
Sooo, [ROM] Doc's superlight V5 ?

*Looks with teary eyes very hopefully* =))

BTW, do you ever look at how much RAM apps are using? Because I noticed that with different firmwares same apps use different amounts. For example swype - from 26mb on JM5, to 18 on JH1 and finally to crazy 8mb on JP2 (new edition).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rul3s:
Well, I've got JM7, but have to wipe, so I'm going to flash JM8 with new modem JM4 and then apply Voodoo Lag Fix Beta 2, I'll tell how it goes!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] laggedHero:
I'll still at JM5, so I think it's time to move on.

Nice info.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] troppxda:
Works quite well for me. I used to hve JM2, which was good enough already, but this one is snappier even without the lagfix. GPS is definetely much better.I have 7 sats within 10 seconds, and the accuracy is really within 3 meters.

Titanium backup took a bit long to get back all the missing apps, but it seems all is good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocRambone:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
Damn, I could have sworn that I have already posted a Multi CSC for India. I cannot find it so I guess I didn´t. :confused:

Hi All

I have read a lot in this thread, and would like some advise if possible please.

I have an Orange UK Branded phone, upgraded to JPM via Odin. My issue is that since flashing my CSC code has changed to 'KOR'. Now this is not too much of an issue, other than the fact I cannot now send emails or MMS messages. So I was wondering if I install JM8, factory reset etc.... and attempt to change my CSC code back to XEU, is it likely that I will encounter any issues.

I have read on this site, and in this thread some people have had success, and others have struggled.

Are there any limitations to what I want to do, ie go back from Froyo to Eclair, prior to the official release from Kies.

Any assistance would be appreciated, as I really want to do this, but am very nervous about bricking the phone, as it is all fine other than the issues mentioned.

Also tried re-flashing to JPM and Odin did not seem to want to let me do that, just stated succeeded after about 2 seconds.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MPM86:
Someone please PM me how to do the following, what I require to get to this command prompt I've never tried it:

adb shell

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig

Then select the desired CSC version from the list and press "Install" (this happens on phone screen!).

The phone will reboot once the change is done.

i'm not convinced this release is anything

the so called jm4 modem is exactly the same size as the jm3 modem to the byte.

and the jm8 firmware/code is exactly the same size to the byte as the jm7 code file.. both are highly unlikely if any chnges were made.

maybe i am wrong windiff does show binary differences in both files.. just really strange they are the same size to the byte.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
Modem is always fixed size.

FactoryFS size varies.

If you compare JM3 and JM4 modem with a proper hex editor (might take a while ;)) you see that the JM4 has nothing in common with JM3.

It is completely rewritten.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
JM8 has also just been released on Samfirmware.

Is there any difference beetween your and their "packaging"?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
Of course not.

They just rip the releases, repack them (with worse compression methods) and add the password. Then it is "their" release.

If you check the .tar headers you see who did the original release ;)

I do not mind, as long as they don´t take any money.

If they start taking money, the next release they are ripping will be the last one...
