Hi, I had exactly the same issue like you coming from JM7 with no lag fix. At first I did a Titanium restore of only my installed apps with data, then a second restore of all system data shown in green like sms messages, wifi access points and so on. At this point (theoretically the cleanest way to restore because no old system left overs have been restored) I started launching all my apps. Everything worked fine except Google Talk and the Market, two very crucial applications for me :(

The market came alive again after applying Eris Market Fix, the second one was a bit more tricky. First I tried doing a Titanium restore of the red system data choosing only the two Google Talk files showing up but this did not help yet, so I did a second restore of red system data that could remotely have anything to do with google talk like sms, contacts, phone and so on, leaving out only the ones which I had no clue what they stand for and of course the GPS settings which I did not want to downgrade by this restore.

Well, now Google Talk is working again.

Sorry not being able to point you to the exact system file that had to be restored but hope that doing my way you'll be able to chat again soon ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
I updated tonight from JM7.

As i usually do, i wiped the phone prior AND after the flash, but this time i used the phone code instead of wiping from recovery.

The result for me is that from the worst firmware among those i tried now i upgraded to the smoothest one. Those hangs and freezes at I/O and UI level i previously experienced with JM7 are now gone. After reinstalling all my apps i can say that Market has never been this fast without a lagfix, it hangs for about a second only when installing but this is so short that with JM8 i actually have to press a key that performs start some task THAT very second to notice the lag. It never occurred to me under these terms prior to JM8.

Keyboards now show up instantly again.

I read these sort of reviews for JM7 too, but it was an epic failure for me. I really don't know why, i did an install that is cleaner than the one most of the people do (wipe before+after), but low performance moments were a lot more than any other fws, even my oldy moldy stock.

I rooted JM8 using the tool provided by OCLF by RyanZA. Which i believe is really just the One Click Root update.zip method described in the FAQ, which i used succesfully for JM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kooltools:
Hi,

First of all thanks for your wonderful ROM.I had used JM6 snd now i am on JM8

Now this ROM is excellent .However i have this one issue

The market doesnt seem to work no matter what

I have applied all the fixes.

1.Have cleared Cache

2.Did a factory Reset

3.Formatted the SD card

and everything that is mentioned

I am stuck at "Download Starting " Screen and if it moves i get a download unsuccessful.

Please help me out
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Tried it, it does not wipe everything really. super user is still there but the internalSD is cleared. Still only a reparition in Odin can wipe everything..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stema84:
Could anyone make an update.zip containing the possibly new gps files? on a german forum I read that it's much better compared to jm5, and someone here also said it's better. Let's hope it's not just the "new-rom" effect :S :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
at the end of the day, I decided the hassle and headace with JM8 is not worth it went back to JPC. But JM8 is considrably faster than JPC on my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] odyssey61:
What headache and hassle? I simply followed Richtofens installation instructions and its the best firmware I have used so far.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kooltools:
Anyone please
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Market issues, it randomly downloads stuff from the market and your not able to download aswell, not everyone is affected but a few ppl have posted the same issue so its not a flashing issue but a problem with the actual firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagrim1:
I usually use the one click lag fix to root... Did it with JM8 as well and works just fine here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Atze001:
:(:(:(:( My Sim Card is not detected from my Phone

I came from JPC and would like to have JM8 and now my sim card is not aviable.

I try to delete the files from first post but it dont work.

Please what can I do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nrg:
I cannot find any reference why i need to double flash. I have JM8 running without the empty flash and reset battery thing and its running ok.

Can somebody explain why we need to do this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
What are you talking about?

There is no double flash.

The PDA, MODEM and CSC are flashed at once.

And the CSC´s come from older JM-series (usually) releases..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] moreira86:
can i flash it the simply way, without taking the battery and all the odin trick?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SydneyBlue120d:
[CUT]

Thanks a lot for your reply, I suspect the problem doesn't lie in Google Talk itself, because gmail automated sycronization (e.g. if i receive a mail, it doesn't show up on the phone until I hit the update button manually) doesn't work too, and this is very annoying... The last time a full wiping via phone menu' solved the issue, I suspect I will need to do it again :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rocasper:
[Q] Two different CSC_I9000OXXJM1 ?

There are two different CSC_I9000OXXJM1.tar floating out there, one has 1.5 MB and another has 78.7 MB... what is the difference and witch one should I use? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
No power cycle, no re-partition = Unchanged partition mapping (.pit).

If you used last time 512 or 803.pit, this is not a problem.

To everyone:

I am telling you the right way to do the update (by Samsung).

Do as you wish, don´t do the repartitioning, etc.

I just don´t want to see these complaints in this thread.

If you do just as you are told to, there will be no "black screen" or any other problems after the flash.

THERE IS NO SUCH PROMBLEMS WITH THIS RELEASE.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
My version (1.5MB) = No sample crap

"Official" version (80MB) = 79MB dbdata.rfs file included (which is not supposed to be in CSC)... Contains only sample documents, mp3 and a sample video.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rocasper:
Got it... 10x! I thought I was missing out on something... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nickporwal:
I had market problem before. I reflashed it and everything is working fine and smooth. Also today i tested GPS Nav. Its working fine for me. GPS was consistent,locked and accurate throughout the drive.

But i dont see much difference between JM7 and JM8. JM8 is just a lil bit faster than JM7 in terms of lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
Once you root, root becomes part of the system that has to be restored.

Wipe +

adb shell #Can be done with adb shell or using the local terminal on the phone.
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/xbin/su

is a total wipe.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
or partition works well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] R@Z0R:
Downgraded from JPC, and everthing works fine. Did a factory reset and Clear cache from recovery menu. after firmware update i changed the CSC with that Adb Shell comand, it was Kor, and i went to EUR. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Joans:
I seem to be having a few problems with this rom. I don't seem to be able to get any sort of gps fix at all. GPS test only picks up 4 or 5 satellites, but doesn't seem to be able to get a fix. Google maps keeps saying my current location is temporarilly unavailable. I'll try it again when I go out later to see if it's just to do with my current location.

Other problem is that I'm not getting any gmails through, I either have to manually resync in accounts and sync, or go into my inbox and press refresh.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aitzo:
I did my first Odin flash with this from JF3 and happy to see that GPS is working very well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jurguh87:
hello

i want to flash as well but aitzo what csc did you use

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
change it to cold start and try it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] odyssey61:
I have always followed your instructions and havent had any problems with any of the firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gnusmass:
When i look at the start post, section

**Read this if you are downgrading from I9000XXJPC rom**

I read

When i check the date, then thats the date of flashing my SGS to JPC (The first time!) ( sept. the 5e) (.nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5 files with a "."), is that a problem?

info:

-some time's my IMEI disappears (after a reboot, not always,for exp when i root, it disappears), but when i reflash JPC the correct IMEI is there again *#06#.

- If IMEI disappears (*#1234# phone : Unknow, After a reflash its I9000XXJPC again) i can still make calls

- nv_data.bin & nv.data.bin.mdk are sept. 14e, because i reflashed my SGS a couple of times but

- .nv_data.bak & .nv_data.bak.md5 are sept 5e
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Joans:
Makes no difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] drowne:
some problems with calling. Sometimes the "phone" lost the signal and reboot the phone app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Thats how I always flash with your firmwares, Im getting the market problems like the others..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aitzo:
I used jm1 xee (nordic) csc which was provided in this thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
This maybe an au problem only but vodafone on 3g doesn't work using browser, wifi is fine stock browser, 3g using same apn as all other 14 fws I have tried doesnt work on vf in au. How and why could this be? Jm7 reflash ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Joans:
Nevermind, my GPS is fine, must just have been my location. Any ideas why I need to manually sync my google mail?

Also, my battery seems to have drained really quick, but that might have just been because of messing about with the GPS.

Could this have anything to do with my choice of CSC? I flashed the right file for the uk, but wasn't sure which 3 letter code to choose.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bynar010:
GPS still useless on this ROM. Used today on some country roads, had me on roads leading away from the road I was on, in fields, all sorts. This better get fixed in official froyo at the end of the month.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Joans:
Ok, it's not the rom because google mail works properly until I restore my backup from Titanium, so I'll try and work out what's breaking it there. Still not convinced about the GPS though, I'm sure it used to be better than this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
Wow my GPS is alot better with this firmware. Have tried My Tracks once and it's looking pretty good after a 20mins drive. Tried GPS Test today for 20mins drive to work and it kept mostly at 9-10 satellites with 5m accuracy. When went into city with lots of tall buildings, satellites drops to avg around 6-7 but dropped to 5 at one time and accuracy of 5-15m. I'll do a My Tracks this arvo when going home and see what happens.

GPS is looking good :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Blurry83:
Does re-partition have harmful effect on the phone? It's what I read on french forums.

I haven't yet understood what does re-partition exactly.

Sorry for my english.

Thx
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
It wipes the filesystems and recreates them according to a partion table included in the pit file.

It's possible that it made harm to some phone, especially if it was checked where it wasn't meant to, or viceversa...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Richthofen-

Can you comment on the need to pull the SIM and external sdcard out of the phone before doing Odin? Many say it's necessary, but you don't include it in the instructions. I've done it both ways with no noticeable impact.

Also, apparently installing a new CSC wipes the phone (/data and /cache at least)? I found that out the hard way this morning. LOL

If it's supposed to, just an fyi to folks. If it's not supposed to, I better figure out what really happened this morning! I had intended to stay on JM7 but wanted to test JM4 modem, and figured as long as I was messing around with Odin could flash newer CSC - phone booted to recovery post-Odin and wiped/formatted everything right before my eyes! :eek:

No biggy, but something others should be aware of.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lalaca:
Flashing a new CSC will definitely wipe your apps and settings.

Edit: Personally having some issues with this firmware. Aside from the stuck Market downloads that others are reporting, my Gmail seems to fail at auto-sync. Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit2: I see Joans is also having some issues with Gmail sync. I plan to reflash tonight when I get home, but the Market stall issue in JM8 is a real deal-breaker for me, so I'm likely to step down to JM7 if I can't solve both problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w1ll1m:
I dont know how to do this, i need more information please.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jana999:
hi pls read this post by Darkstriker on how to use "adb shell".

I hope that helps you.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Joans:
Did you make/restore a Titanium backup? I did some more testing yesterday and after reflashing this rom (actually just the CSC), the GMail was working fine. I had been doing a full Titanium restore (including all system apps), so I just restored my missing apps and SMS/Call log settings and now my GMail is working fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] :
i just installed it, works very well :D

however i had to do all on my xp laptop cause the wind 7 pc wouldnt start the odin nor the kies...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] microbrain:
i'm back to jm7, for me minor crashes, and youtube not working :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mdalacu:
all OK

Everything works ok here. I am using Voodoo fix b4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
CSC flash wipes data

Thanks, as I said, I already learned that the hard way. :o I've never seen it mentioned though, so thought I'd throw it out there for others as a warning.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
I noticed that despite using a Titanium backup to restore all settings on my phone that the GMAIL autosync feature was still turned off.

Have you tried:

/Settings

/Accounts and sync

When I first went there, it shows Auto-sync check and that "sync is ON" for all my gmail accounts, BUT, when I clicked on the actual accounts, all the features (Sync Contacts, Sync Gmail, etc) were unchecked. I checked them all and auto-syncing kicked right in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lalaca:
Yeah, I pretty much figured out that would be the problem, even without flashing. It's probably either of "Accounts and Sync" or "Accounts" that causes it. Still, the Market issue needs resolving one way or another.

Yup, I found out the hard way too. >x<;; But now, hopefully, the word is out.

I actually tried this. In fact, it's the first thing I tried once I noticed my syncs were failing. Didn't work, and still isn't working. I get the little "syncing" arrows on my notification bar every once in a while, but nothing. I know I have new email in my inbox; checked from a computer. My phone however, doesn't know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fmullerp:
Hey!

I've just flash to JM8 and got the same Android Market bug! Can't download app!

Any suggestions? I've already tried clearing cache and data from Market and Download app but no luck!

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lalaca:
Another thing I'm now getting is XDA App semi-crashing every time I post a new reply. I say semi-crash, because it gives me the FC popup but then logs me straight back in without actually closing.

Also, as Roy Ngan mentioned in the JM7 thread, the keyboard sometimes does not make way for the text input box, but instead overlays it, inhibiting access to the lower part of the box. So far Swiftkey and Swype have displayed this behaviour on my phone running JM8.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qixen:
To fix Android Market bug!

First try this, factory wipe in recovery mode that worked voor me.

or try this at last option!

The code is *2767*3855#

THIS WILL CLEAR EVERYTHING FROM PHONE INCLUDING THE INTERNAL SD!!! :D :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lalaca:
Okay, after a wiping of DATA and CACHE through Clockwork plus about half a dozen reboots later...

I'm glad to report Market is functional now; likewise with auto-sync. The keyboard hiccup I'll keep an eye out for.

Most happy about not needing to reflash entirely.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ufuuu:
Seems like GPS is worse than JM7 to me. I have same supl/port settings. jm8 finds 2-3 satellites, while jm7 was finding at least 5 satellites from same spot...

I can't get it. Isn't it an updated fw, I mean it released after jm7, but gps is worse :confused:

But lag issues are better than jm7 btw ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Can anyone help me or recommend something to try on JM8 to fix the random application download and the eventual market failure on this firmware??

Things I have done before flashing as of late, from JPC i performed a factory reset/wipe cache/format internal SD and reflashed with pit803 and repartition but didnt flash any firmware, removed the battery, reflashed and reprtitioned back to 512 and removed battery

reflashed to 512 again this time with JM8 firmware package and JM1 CSC, after flashing i perform the factory reset / wipe / clear cache then proceede to setup the phone with wifi and market login.. leave the phone connected to wifi for 10-15mins and it starts to download applications BUT it says unsuccesful soon after my market/app brain totally fails..

Now I cant really say if this is a phone issue or a firmware issue, if anyone can shed some light into this matter and ive also noticed a few users having this same problem as well so im NOT alone with this issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Did you try the reset code?

Sent from my personal Dis-organizer GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Yeah I already did... still i dont know why this happens in JM7 and 8

anything else worth trying ?

Any new 2.1 roms out?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
I recon I9000XWJM9 will be out next weekend or next week.

After that I recon they will be 2.2 versions.

XW and XF versions to be precise.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DocRambone:
Looking forward to JM9.

So the leaked XXJPH is the FROYO to come next week?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
As far as I know yes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
Richthofen, Do you think you'll be able to continue leaking FroYo internal releases like you're doing right now with JMx series?

Waiting for the answer too :D(I only wanna hear yes):D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dagbdagb:
Hi.

After

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

.. I get a box named Sales Code, with the only option being XEE.

Pushing the install button yeilds the message 'Must be THREE chars'. Now what?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dutchcow:
Seriously? I can't believe they would release such a crappy ROM as final. You sure JPH is going to be the final release?

Very disappointed. I spend 500 euro on this device at the very least I want working GPS, no FC's and decent speed without lag. Guess this was my first and last Samsung :(

I am currently running JM8 with Voodoo lagfix which is OK, but it is like having a Ferarri car with a Mini cooper engine. It doesn't make any sense. My next phone will be a HTC if Samsung doesnt do their best to get the most out of this phone.

I love your releases though, JM8 is by far the best firmware, both battery life and performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
XEE is not a Multi CSC.

You don´t need to do that procedure.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:
Absolutely not.

;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Itsme87:
Didn't work for me. Any other solution?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fitaly:
Try ALL the providers available

some work and others don't

guess it depends on your location.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Itsme87:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
Oh gosh. It was nice 'til it lasted. :D :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tarzanug:
Xfjm9 or xfjm8 even would be very nice!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Still no fix for the zombie download and no download in JM8 =(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Funny, I have ZERO zombie downloads, and zero problems downloading and installing UN-protected apps. However it took 48 hours and several attempts with every known market fix to get my usual protected app test (Zenonia) to show up.

I never did a Froyo build, did you? Someone above suggested that is what causes the zombie downloads.

GPS track on JM8 not as accurate as HVJH1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Yes I've installed JPC and JPH on my phone and it messed up my product code and IMEI..

Could that be the main cause of the problem ?

EDIT:

Maybe my nv_data even got more messed up afer several reflashing from JPC to JPH and at times I also tick the clear phone EFS

I have a copy of my nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 on my PC dated september 2 can anyone teach me the adb commands to push this back to the phone ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Itsme87:
I don't think that FROYO is the problem, at least not the only thing causing problems. I've never had a froyo build, and I'm not able to download any progams.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
I reverted back to the the older firmwares and left my phone logged into the market for 30mins, ALL of the 2.1 firmware seem to be affected with the random download and eventual market failure on MY phone.. I've flashed to JPC and JPH and so far 2.2 is NOT yet affected.

There are some that reported they never flashed to 2.2 and still getting this problem their product code and IMEI is still intact so this is not an issue thats related to that.. this is something else on the phone.. some lingering garbage data that is causing this..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dutchcow:
I haven't had any download failures or random problems with market on any 2.1 ROM. Maybe I'm just lucky. I'm enjoying JM8 + Voodoo (lagfix only). This is how the device should be.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gravejester:
It can't be a problem with your Google Account? Perhaps try to register a new account and use that one when setting up Market the first time?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fmullerp:
I have solved the Market problem on mine!! After a Wipe Reset, everything was unstable and FC's don't let me use the mobile, so I reflashed and now Market and Google Talk is working. So my recomendation would be: Do a Wipe Reset before flashing!

The only problem I'm having is that I can't navigate with the Explorer, it tries to download: 'downloadfile.bin' after searching for a page!

PS: Thanks a lot for the Spanish CSC Ritchofen!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
I've already done that and made a new account, still getting the same problem.

Before I flash I usually do the following, format internalSD and use the factory reset code when the phone is done rebooting i perform the recovery wipe cache and factory reset and let the phone reboot one more time to do the factory wipe code then I proceeded to flash the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gravejester:
Have you tried using a different CSC?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Yup over a dozen CSC.
