Those steps are for doing it using ADB on the computer, not the Terminal Emulator. And your phone has to be rooted to do it. So might as well follow below method..

Root your phone using this method.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872488.

1. Now copy the gps.conf to your phone's sd card.

2. Then download and install Root Explorer from the above mentioned page. Install it on your phone and run it.. After running it, press Allow on the Superuser prompt.

3. Now, in Root Explorer, press the 'Mount R/W' button so that it changes to 'Mount R/O'.

4. Then using Root Explorer, navigate to the folder where you put the gps.conf file in the sd card. (there's an sdcard folder in Root Explorer)

5. Press and hold on the gps.conf file to Copy it and then paste it in system\etc.

Hi everyone.

I flashed my i5801 with JPA. But i think i didnt reset it after flashing. Can that be the cause of low battery on my phone?(7-8hrs max)

Now if i should again reflash JPA on my phone will i have to factory reset it before flashing or not?

And after flashing do i have to hard reset it again or just factory reset which can also be done by dialling *2767*3855# ? (If not then please explain what the difference between hard reset and factory reset is)

I apologise for the noob-ism :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Techie87:
What I usually do is perform a factory reset before I flash a new ROM. I do this by dialing *2767*3855#. When the phone has rebooted and is up and running again, I connect it to the PC, so that ODIN detects it. Then you just follow the normal flash procedure (it's explained over 9000 times here in this forum) and after that, when it has booted again, you just dial *2767*3855# again to perform a factory reset. Et voila, c'est tout ;-)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stellarroar:
But that is when you are flashing roms of the same release right, like when you have installed a froyo rom and again you flash another froyo rom you dont have to clear the cache/data by booting in the recovery mode. Or do i have to do it everytime i flash no matter which rom im flashing? Or does dialling that code take care of the deletion we perform in recovery mode?

Also, i have to factory reset after every flash right?:confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bubbles19666:
Thanks addicted:cool:

I was able to replace the gps.conf file with a localized new one. But still, after a reboot my GPS is not functional.

For some reason

prints out a proper gps.conf:

What am I doing wrong with this?:confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Techie87:
I also did it this way when I went from Eclair (2.1) to Froyo (2.2) and it worked for me. And indeed, you have to do it after every flash.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] diamond_4g64:
Sorry dude I wasn't trying to make anybody mad in here, I am just a guy that works for a telus shop and I love trying out stuff that is not normal or recommended. I would like to have 2.2 on my phone before the official launch of it on galaxy s so I think that I saw in the tread that I cannot put an european version on an american phone but I stilL ain't sure, does somebody know for sure? And yes I saw the pass but I did not see the one that is written password, sorry pal. I thought it was for link purpose.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
Sorry, this method never worked for me either. I just use the method of running and closing GPSSetup2 before using using Maps.. Made a shortcut on the homescreen to GPSSetup2..

Hi, I´m from Brazil so sorry for my bad English.

I´ve a americas Galaxy 3 that was upgradade with European JPB firmware. Worked. Eventually cell hangs, but with original firmware are the same.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
Hey,

No problem! I wasn't mad at all, just worried! There are a couple of people that bricked their phones while flashing here, so I just wanted to warn you that there are risks...

So to help you out:

Are you using a Galaxy S or Galaxy 3? Cause this part on the forum is about the Galaxy 3 i5800 / i5801 and you typed Galaxy S... just to make sure, cause the procedure differs.

For the Galaxy 3 (probably i5800L for you) I know that you can flash the European version, but you should know that some problems were reported by users that have tried this before: you might lose the possibility of 3G, problems with reception, etc. due to the bandwith that apparantly differs (though I thought this was supposed to be a quad band). However some users also reported everything worked fine on their phones.

The only way to find out is by trying it.

Some advice:

- Do a wipe cache and hard reset on your phone before and after you flash the firmware (I do that in the recovery menu) it helps to flash smoother and easier, less chance of problems

- Flash JPA, if your phone hangs on the Samsung logo instead of booting up (for more than 10 minutes, JPA takes a very long time to boot the first time) just flash an older European firmware (eclair) first then try again (if that doesn't work try an older American firmware)

- You can always go back to your original firmware if things don't work

- If you want to: after you flashed JPA open the JPB firmware tar file with 7zip and remove everything from the tar file but the zImage file and flash it using the same procedure. It only gives you the kernel of JPB with better drivers so that the problem of the non-returning screen after a call issue is solved.

- this is still beta firmware JIT, the most important thing that makes Froyo a lot faster is not implemented/enabled yet. The final version should have this.

Good luck!

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bubbles19666:
Hmm, until now nothing helped to get my gps running...

- FasterFix (with root)

- gps.conf

- octy´s tools

So my last hope is GPSSetup2 which I dont find in the market?!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Install Launcher Pro. Then tap and hold on the home screen and click Activities >GPS>GPSSetup2.

Good Luck :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
GPSSetup2 is not an application. It is an internal phone tool to test GPS.. Go to this page and follow instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867834

After that, every time you want to use GPS, open and then immediately close GPSSetup2 using the shortcut you create on the homescreen. This will work most of the time..
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] bubbles19666:
Okay, Launcher Pro installed and the shortcut created...

Start the shortcut, close and start map... and still no gps :(

could this collide with the manually created gps.conf file?

I don`t want to factory reset again :( :(

Hey!! Its done, i am now on the custom jpa, jpb version of precurse. It work extremely well but dont forget everyone to instal your 3g info to get internet back. Very well tought. This phone works very well on it and and i dont seem to have the gps problem but there are alot of the apps i had before that i canot have anymore, probably because of the upgrade in version. The only problem i have now is that after installing alot of applications my phone becomes very laggy from time to time. It gets very frustrating since wen you what to go back to the main screen to make a basic function as calling the phone freeses on a black screen for a long time.

OCLF = One click lagfix

it makes your phone more responsive.. i got a maximum score of 572 on quadrant.. linpack score remains the same, so i'm not sure how this works, b ut if you use quadrant advanced you can see the I/O score recieves a major boost with this lagfix..

be careful though.. there is no way proper way to remove the lagfix yet.. only reflashing will fix that..

I have JPA but wifi doesnt connect at all. I have to reset everytime i want to use it. I have my phone rooted. Now i want to get back to the factory supplied DDJG6 rom. How do i go about doing it? Should i flash the normal way as suggested in this thread or do i have to do it some other special way?

Please guide me. Thanks!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] soulstaker:
Normal way should work. Remember to reset your device before and after flashing.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Soulztorm:
Ok, awesome.... I have my phone for about 3 days now, and it's bricked.

Here's how it went down:

First I flashed the JPB fw with the datafs.rfs in it, worked fine.

Everything was ok, but the fw seemed a little slowish, rooting didn't work either.

So, what I did was to download the JPA fw, open up 7zip and put in the datafs.rfs, without deleting the boot files, which was ****ing stupid...

So, I started flashing with odin, it copied the boot.bin, and got stuck on the datafs...

So I pulled out the cable after 20 mins and, bam, whenever I try to start it nothing happens, can't get into dl mode, can't get into recovery nothing, it's dead.

So, I'm thinking about waiting for froyo to come out officialy on kies and then writing to samsung that my phone stopped working after upgrading with kies, anyone got a better idea?

Edit:

Or might I just send it in right now before froyo actually comes out, but my concern is that samsung sees that 2.2 was already on the phone...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ankitmadharia:
i had the same problem. please post if u get any results with unrooting
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rex4u:
Since its bricked there are very less chances that they could know what last firmware you had on phone.

Good Luck !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
Modifying the tar files (with Windows at least with 7zip) doesn't work well for ODIN. Any file you add to an archive, ODIN just pukes and stops at that file. Deleting files works no problem though.

The solution I've found is to just create a whole new tar file if you're adding files.

Kind of late.. but hopefully others can read this before having similar issues.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Soulztorm:
Ok thanks but, since I just bought it, it comes with the newest version (2.1 eclair) and samsung knows that, so kies wouldn't have offered me an official firmware upgrade.

So right now, that froyo isn't out on kies I can't say: "Well I just upgraded my fw with kies" because it's a brand new phone.

I think I'll really wait till 2.2 is out and then I'll send it in saying kies crashed on me.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
There are other ways phones can be bricked other than firmware updates ;-)

The screen doesn't even turn on at all right?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Soulztorm:
Not at all, no recovery, no download mode, nothing.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pinak.ahuja:
Don't worry I had bricked my phone the exact same way. Went to samsung service centre just said my phone wasn't turning on. They sent it for repairs changed the motherboard (what I was told) and I got it back within a week . Just take your bill along.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] shajumohamed:
1)i have seen many people posting about removing datafs.rfs from firmwares. its mostly 200mb file and is the major chunk of the firmware. i dont think there is any point in flashing at all if you remove datafs from it.correct me if i am wrong

2)what is the password for i5801DDJG6 from samfirmware? this file has a password for the rar file itself(normally the rar is unlocked and the tar only has a password)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] zoubidou:
rar password for all files from samfirmware.com = samfirmware.com
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
In most firmware files the datfs.rfs is not present. One of our forummembers posted the idea that adding that file would make it easier to flash. For some people it seemed to be working, but

the only

people complaining about bricked phones are people that have put this datafs.rfs into the tar file.

My advice: just don't meddle with the original firmware files unless you want to remove something. Don't add files to it, cause that seems to be giving problems!

I always use original firmware files from samfirmware and I always managed to flash. Just don't forget to do a hard reset before and after you flash!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] addicted2088:
the factoryfs.rfs is the main chunk of the firmware. And the passwords are mentioned on the samfirmware website, if you read carefully. The tar files never have a password. If they had, ODIN wouldn't be able to use the files inside the tar for flashing the phone.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stellarroar:
I'm trying to revert back to DDJG6 on my i5801. I had JPA. But i'm flashing right now and the download bar is not moving forward, its stuck at the initial point.

What should i do? i did wipe everything in the recovery mode and factory reset before flashing.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cubancigar11:
EEEEPPP! What to do?

Hi!

I just upgraded my I5801 (Asia/India) by I5800XXJPA using Odin.

Odin reported PASS, so I think flashing went fine. I removed the USB cable and waited...

It has been 20 minutes now and the screen is stuck on 'SAMSUNG'. I suppose it is not bricked because I can restart the phone (and it hangs again at the same spot), go to download or upload mode.

So? What to do?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] shajumohamed:
thanks buddy. usually the password is 'samfirmware.com'. but this one has samsung-firmwares.com.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] stellarroar:
Did you clear the cache in recovery mode and factory reset before flashing? Also you need to enable usb debugging.

If you did all those then do this, hard reset and first flash I5800XXJG6, after that hard reset again and then try flashing JPA.

That worked for me.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] shajumohamed:
dude i have JPA,JPB,JP8,JK1 and DDJG6 with me and all have datatfs.rfs on it. without that the TAR file will have a size of 30MB or so? i dont think there is any firmware with that size.

i had to replace the modem.bin in JPB (to remove that muting problem happening every 5 seconds during a call).also i have an i5801 . so i replaced the boot.bin and sbl.bin as well.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Soulztorm:
But didn't you have to tell them what you did?

I mean my concern is that if I went there and just said: My phone just doesn't turn on anymore, and they somehow see that I got the JPB firmware on it they won't repair it.

I mean because it's not an official samsung one that is shipped with that phone.

That's why I want to wait till kies offers 2.2, so I can say kies crashed and NOW it doesn't turn on anymore.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] toondewachter:
The thing is that your phone probably won't have any firmware on it, since it failed to flash the bootloader, which is flashed first whenever I flashed firmware to my phone. So probably the ROM is just empty... that's why you can try to send it in already.

For your concern: JPA, JPB, ... are firmwares in beta stage so they will never be released officially and thus they will see it anyway that you didn't use KIES to upgrade... I don't think they'll notice or ask questions. Someone else has tried it before and didn't have any problems considering warranty apparantly.
