Yes its very important to do do hard reset/ factory reset before and after flashing any froyo firmware on to a eclair firmware.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pvinodchowdary:

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
First of all you need to get your phone running any of those 2.1 firmwares.

use this I5801DDJG6 its for asia and I5801.

before these steps make sure you have latest version of kies installed, it helps in keeping latest drivers installed.

For that follow these instruction.

1) start odin (if using windows 7 or vista right click odin and use run as adminstrator)

2) Check "One Package" checkbox

3) check reboot checkbox

4) check portect ops if downgrading( if you have eclairs and your phone is I5801 then dont check it) checkbox

5) check reset time, keep the default value as it is i.e. 300

dont select any other options.

6) hit reset files button once.

7) click ops button and select OPS file for I5800

8) click one package and select the firmware you want to flash. the file must a .tar file.

9) now remove your sd card and sim card from phone and do a factory reset restart and put it in downloading mode by pressing vol-down + home + power button together.

10) now connect your phone to pc.

11) odin will show yellow color and com port no. in the first box.

12) Click Start and watch the progress bar and timer, wait untill PASS message appear on Message box.

13) Disconect the phone from PC when odin displays disconnect com port restarting phone.

let the phone boot it takes some time 5-10 mins mins for first boot so dont panic.

after reboot do a factory reset again restart and put sim and sdcard back in.

Sorry cant post images right now in office, will attach images as soon as i get home.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Ready!!!!

Hello, this is my first post. :D

I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Eclair devices and it seems to work perfect in our device.

I tested on Android 2.1 version, default browser and skyfire works fine.

Megavideo doesn't work

I don't know if it works in Froyo, I know market adobe player doesn't work with 2.2 maybe it works.

I can't post url, I'm begginner.

Just go to google.com and search "Flash Player Eclair" and click first search.

Sorry for my English
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
It does get installed on Eclair, but it doesn't actually work. I5800's processor does not meet its requirements. Read this post to know more.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
this is strange but i would suggest you to take fresh ops file dont use old one and try the old firmware which is meant for your phone i.e. for your device and region.

get it to stable mode running then try to upgrade to new or latest firmware.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Do a factory reset through recovery and not through code on phone.

Reboot.

Switch off phone.

Remove battery. Insert it back after 15-30 min.

Re-Flash.

Good luck !

Yes, I Swyped it from my Galaxy 3

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pvinodchowdary:
did any1 try out gingerbread launcher for froyo....present in the market...?? its kinda kool...check tht out....
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
Press home + vol up + vol down (if you press in the middle you have got both buttons) + power on to enter recovery mode.

In recovery mode you scroll with the vol up and vol down button and the home button works as an enter button.

Select wipe cache/data and after that factory reset.

i5800XXJPA???

Hi guys,

I flashed my GT-i5801 from Singapore's teleco Singtel (unlocked) with Odin Multi Downloader. The flash was successful. When I looked at my settings, my IMEI was preserved and my Wifi MAC was unavailable (was already like that before flashing).

My model number showed as GT-i5800. Is this suppose to be correct, since I flashed the i5800's firmware? Also, the messaging app keep FCing. Another thing I noticed that my PHONE version is I5800XXJP1. Is this correct? My PDA and CSC shows I5800XXJPA.

Sorry for the noob questions, cause I'm a complete Android tard.:o
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Your flashing was successful. :) You'll get the Wifi MAC Address when you connect to a Wifi network. As for the version, it is correct. I5800XXJP1 is the base firmware version on which the phone is working, while I5800XXJPA is the current firmware build version. As you upgrade to further Froyo firmwares, the base firmware version will remain same while the current build number will change (JPA to whatever comes next).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
Wow thanks for the quick reply :D. One more question, will the MAC address turn unavailable once I'm disconnected from Wifi?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
No, it only needs to be connected to a network for the first time to get the address. After that, it will always show, whether the Wifi is on or off. But the Bluetooth address will only show when Bluetooth has been turned on.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
Once again thanks for the quick reply. Before flashing the firmware, I connected to my Wifi multiple times, but didn't get a MAC address?:confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Connect to a Wifi network, then go to Settings-> About-> Status. Then scroll down to the bottom and see if the MAC address is showing..

Even I was worried the first time I flashed my phone that the address had disappeared, but it appeared after connecting to a network. I never lose it no matter how much I flash.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
Thanks, got it :D:D One more noob question, is this firmware reported to have lots of FC problems? I seem to be getting lots of FCs.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
You'll get FCs if you upgrade to a Froyo upgrade without formatting your phone. If you haven't done it, make a backup of your apps and settings with Titanium Backup or MyBackup, then hard reset the phone.

JPA is a really stable version. I don't get any Force Close problems.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
I hard resetted and formatted before flashing, guess the problem came from not hard resetting and formatting after flashing. :o
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Happy for you Vinod :)

Yes, I Swyped it from my Galaxy 3
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] zn1p:
So i manage to fix my phone after wiping was just not working and 5 firmwares.

So what i did was reflashed my phone with separated packs (not one pack option and because I thaugt that problem was boot or pda packs error),so i chose jh1 an German providers firmware and it booted and thanks god factory reset worked now i`m back on FROYO. But still i dont understand what happend with my old firmware because it just crashed some how,without any influance of my. maybe it`s JPA have some serious issues and bugs. And thanks for some suggestions
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mregeling:
i think i know what the problem is when people flash to JPA (2.2).

There is no "datafs" file in the firmware.

That means there is no internal memory available so i think that the firmware won't load or install when Odin is ready with flashing because of no internal memory.

I am now back to "I5800XXJI2_HOME_" that has datafs file inside , i nog going to try JPA2 again.

i keep you informed
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] watanabe:
What is your original FW tanyh? I'm also using Singapore's i5801 and succcesfully flash (many) i5800 eclair's and froyo's without losing anything.

Currently, sticking with JP9 since I don't see any significant improvement on JPA. I didn't get any FC issue. Everything is smooth and fine. By the way, have you tried the GPS before? Did you manage to get a lock on the phone?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mregeling:
IT WORKED !!.

People who are stuck at the Samsung boot screen try the following.

Flash to "I5800XXJI2_HOME_" ( it must have the file "datafs.rfs" inside ).

Then flash to JPA and voila ;)

Good luck !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
The datafs file does not have any effect on flashing. Because the people who flashed successfully used the same firmware without the datafs file. It's just that different phones behave differently.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mregeling:
yes but they probaby came from a firmware that had datafs file inside.

It worked for me, so if it works for other people too then its just great huh ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
If the datafs is so important, it'd be in every phone's firmware.

But yes, if it's working, then it's a good option. No one wants a bricked phone, I guess. :o
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] pvinodchowdary:
i dont think so..coz i cud flash it without adding datafs file......
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:

I have JPA and I never turn off GPS, WiFi is on abot 2-3h per day, abot 10-20 messages, about half hour of speaking, listen music, play Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds and My batery endure 2 days with out problem. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
How do you root this phone with JPA? My previous firmware was i5801dxj... I don't remember
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
Super One click root 1.5.5 (I think it's on the first page of this thread). But install busybox first, don't know if it helps, but my phone started to show serious lag issues till busybox was installed.

considering the battery: I come from JG3, and my battery is outrunning that version definitely! JPA prolongs battery 1.5 to 2 times...

I used to do 2 days with my phone and know 3 to 4 days!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] evaldasdz:
If i upgrafe my phone, it will be with touch wiz or stock android interface?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
Does the super one click require adb or booting into recovery and applying update.zip?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] aantdesign:
It'll be with touch wiz.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] braveBuddy:
just put your phone in debug mode and connect to pc run the super one clcik exe and root. done

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tanyh:
Wow how do you guys keep the batt for so long? I am at top 1day
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Don't keep the packet data connected at all times, keep the brightness low, turn off sounds that run when you touch the screen (while typing, for example). These things go a long way in saving battery.

Also, always charge your battery only when it goes down to about 30 or 15 percent, and charge it completely till 100 percent once you plug it in. This will keep the battery healthy.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] divinesahil:
ya actually it does from 100 % to 0% but at usual i charge it in 24 hrs cas it takes whooping 6 hrs to get full charge

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] watanabe:
Before connecting your device, make you have the USB debugging option is enabled (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging).

Connect the USB cable to your phone and the other end to your PC. Open your Device Manager and make sure that your phone is recognize with correct driver installed.

After that, proceed with SuperOneClick. Follow what it says on the screen. After getting your phone rooted, install TitaniumBackup, any version would do. Click on "Problems?" button. It will prompt you to download busybox. Do it.

The application not responding is usually because your phone is not recognized by your PC.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Yeah, it's okay to charge overnight as the battery stops charging after it's full. And wait till 40% atleast to charge the battery. 50% is too soon.

go to command prompt and run "adb devices" from the directory with the adb.exe... if it doesn't show any devices, then there's a problem with the way the phone is setup with the computer.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] watanabe:
As for the driver, you can just install Samsung Kies. I installed it from the disk I got from the package. When finished, plug your phone to the USB and connect it to your PC again. You can follow precurse advice or follow mine (check if your device is properly recognized via Device Manager window).

You need to root before using Titanium Backup. Just remember to install busybox from TitaniumBackup after rooting or your phone will become sluggish.
