I was having the same problem. App download failure and Gmail not syncing. For me it was a problem of restoring "Accounts & Sync" through Titanium Backup after flashing a new rom. So the last time I flashed a new rom, I restored all 3rd party apps and call settings only. Instead of restoring accounts and sync settings, I just signed into my account fresh. That solved the problem for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gravejester:
Hmm.. then I'm out of ideas.. sorry :s
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Well, no download isn't the same as zombie downloads, so different problem might have different cause.

It just seems to me that downgrading from froyo to eclair has caused numerous problems for numerous people.

Plenty of folks here reporting zero market issues (no zombies, no failed downloads, protected apps, etc), so it's not just the firmware, there's something else involved.

Everything works as expected for me (now), but as said earlier, it was a real ***** getting protected apps to show.

Seems like something's not getting wiped, despite factory resets and wipes and all of that.

Do any of you have a second Android device you can compare market behavior to? This would eliminate market/cloud issues versus market/phone issues. (I always compare the Market behavior on my Nexus One to the SGS when the SGS acts up.)

I'd suggest those with the problem, if they can't narrow it down to an issue with the actual cloud/google market use the Odin repartition via pit method in the front to see if that totally wipes the phone. I'm talking about where richthofen says do pit only, let it ride out for the 5-10 minutes it takes, wait for Odin to report "Pass!" then pull the battery.

I believe that's the only way to be sure you actually reformat the various partitions (maybe richthofen can confirm).

This might actually wipe some bad setting the other methods don't.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sunwee:
hi richtofen

is it possible for you to upload latest 2.1 firmwares? i read certain regions already have JIx firmwares dated september. just want to stick to 2.1 till the whole froyo mumbo jumbo settles down. thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
This happend on my device twice, after a change in PIT and repartition the phone still had my google log-in >.<
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Wow! My google login disappears even on just a factory wipe or recovery wipe, nothing has survived recent full-blown pit-only repartitions with Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w1ll1m:
This firmware is the best fro battery life for me, got 35 hours on a single charge while using the phone as a bool reader, and currently battery life is 83% after 13 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arvindm:
I have been having this weird problem with JM8 (and even JM7). Although the battery power remaining is shown as 40% in the 'About' section of my phone, the battery icon in the notification bar shows it as 3/4th full. So if it shows it as half full, I have like 20% left. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have Voodoo lagfix-only version installed..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gwwaters:
I flashed JM8 and everything was just wonderful for a while. Market access worked. All my apps seem to work. But, after about 12 hours the screen was black and had to reboot the phone. This is happening about 2-3 times a day. I press the home or power button to wake up the phone and nothing happens. It appears that the phone is not powered off because the power button won't power it on. It also appears that the phone is not "CPU busy" because nothing weird on battery drain is happening.

I did a factory reset after flashing JM8. Anything else that I should consider? Anyone else see something similar? Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ashwinds:
Do you have wifi enabled?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
Reflash the firmware. It might not have installed correctly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Interesting! I wonder what they changed in libfmradio_jni.so or if it was just a recompile...

Also, could you do a

LANG=C diff -ur XWJM7 XWJM8 | sed -e 's/^Binary files \(.*\) and .* differ$/Changed: \1/' | grep -v '.odex'

instead of the rsync? (replace OLD and NEW with the dirs you extracted the firmwares into, like with the rsync method. You may also need to install a package containing the 'diff' program.)

This will show in a much nicer way which files are new or missing, and will also show exactly what changed in text files like build.prop . Also this method will not spam the list with odex files (these will change on every firmware rebuild no matter what, even if the apps didn't change at all).

edit: even less spam.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stefanauss:
Thanks a lot Miki, i'll update my method of getting rough changelogs with yours. Far more polished. =D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
Don't forget my edit :) sorry for that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
More edit, uh-oh. Now should put the second file after 'Changed: '.

Use this command:

LANG=C diff -ur XWJM7 XWJM8 | sed -e 's/^Binary files .* and \(.*\) differ$/Changed: \1/' | fgrep -v '.odex'
[Galaxy S I9000 General] johnmachielsen:
I just updated my stock dutch Vodafone with this release, using the CSC I9000OXAJM1.

Everything seems to work like a breeze, but my Market doesn't show any apps in the downloads section aside from one I paid for.

Removing an app and trying to reinstall it, gives the aforementioned 'downloading failed' messages.

My stock was:

PDA: I9000XWJM2

PHONE: I9000XXJM2

CSC: I9000XENJM1

What's the best way to try and fix the Market app?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lagigia:
Works perfectly on my italian SGS, originally it had:

PDA: XWJM3

MODEM: XXJM2

CSC: OXAJM1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Iacopo91:
i think that my phone is now bricked:) thank you! i don't have time for unlock it... omg
[Galaxy S I9000 General] w1ll1m:
Nope, i have unlimited mobile internet, 3g/hspa on at all times
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ashwinds:
That explains it, thanks :) wifi for me sucks the battery out. Without wifi, the drain is remarkably lesser.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] y_n_t:
I have installed this rom and everything works fine on installation process. I ve turned on my phone connect to market and some strange applications automatically are unsuccesfully downloaded. I never heard or use some of them. I ignore that and i install some of apps, after that I insert my SIM and storage card start again the phone and access the market. All the applications are stuck in Starting Download.

Have anybody any ideea about this fact?

Can somebody help me?

(i remove the sim and card and the same, clear market cache without success.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Narcissus85:
same here...and if i try to install another firwmare it happens again.........

i'm curious..have u ever tried jpc or jph? And about voodoo lagfix?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] y_n_t:
On JPC (without vodoo) everything works fine. The market is stable.... Now I m trying JPH I ll keep in touch.

Later Edit: On JPH the market works properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
still running jm7 i find that the best so far.. not worth going to froyo.. slow and buggy till they get jit working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
My thoughts exactly. A lot of apps still dont work on froyo, voodoo will be avaliable god knows when...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Narcissus85:
any solution for the zombie downloads at the moment?

:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] y_n_t:
Upgrade to FROYO. For me was the single solution. I ve tried a lot of 2.1 firmwares and without success.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Narcissus85:
i can try the jph............ ....ok ok i can do this.. T_T
[Galaxy S I9000 General] y_n_t:
In the JPH the market works properly but you have to fight with the other bugs specific to JPH. Good luck!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] crazzym:
Should I flash this with the 512 .pit file, or with the 803 one? Thanks!

(I couldn´t tell from the stickied FAQ if the 803 .pit file is ONLY for newer froyo.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daml:
Ok. So this will be my first flash with odin.. Finally got the 3 button fix. I have spent all day reading up on and familiarizing myself with the process. Just a couple questions. Can I flash jm8 from anything? Do I have to uninstall voodoo lag fix first? Where do I obtain the pit file? Apologies for being a little offtopic..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dutchcow:
You need to disable the Voodoo lagfix, you do this by making a folder inside /Voodoo called "disable lagfix" reboot the phone and it will disable the lagfix. Do not remove the folder, reboot into download mode and flash a new firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fmullerp:
I confirm this! I noticed a rough life battery with JM8 firmware using 3g/HSPA. Haven't tested with WIFI yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] daml:
Thank you. Also anyone know if this "zombie downloads" bug affects everyone or is it random? If thats going to happen I won't flash but if its random I will risk it..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kalpik:
Its random! I don't have it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
I didn't have any zombie downloads, and i daresay most others didn't as well. A few have reported that, though, but it is hard to say what causes it.

Though I made the observation, that in almost every case of extremely strange bugs the phone was flashed with JPC/JPH at some time. Looks to me like some people accumulate problems by jumping from one shiny new firmware to the next shiny new firmware to the next...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bonobo78:
I tried this but in each code that appear on screen I can't see something related to my country.

I choose the OXA file for France support, and the codes are :

CPW
DBT
ITV
KOR
XEF
XEO
XEU

I'm on XEU for now, works fine, so which one was for France ?

By the way this ROM works well.

I add Tayutama's on top of it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Seems pretty obvious that the zombie downloads are related to downgrading from Froyo back to Eclair. I don't recall any posts where someone who's never been on Froyo complains of the problem.

It's also NOT specific to JM8; there are reports of it following people to other firmwares.

It's really an interesting problem, how the heck can they phone just start downloading random Market apps.

Has anyone tried reviewing the logs on the phone to see if they point out any clues?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lalaca:
From the Project Voodoo thread:

True or not? Are other people experiencing shortened battery durations? I've had issues with both JM7 and JM8 where my phone will, after several hours of operation (which includes simple idle time), "forget to sleep" and/or start draining battery at an alarming rate for no reason and heat up uncomfortably (40+ degrees Celcius).

Now, my current setup is JM8 + Tayutama + Voodoo b3 (lagfix only). Previously, it was JM7 + the same. JM7 had the aforementioned issue more frequently, which is why I flashed up to JM8, but I am not too sure what is causing this overheating. It's rather concerning, and is more of a put-off than the Stuck Downloads in Market that I originally had with my first flash of JM8 (fixed with a factory reset, thankfully).

All I wanted was a nice stable rom to play with until Froyo, but upgrading from JM5 has so far caused more time being spent on flashing than I initially wanted. :/

Edit: Since it seems to matter in some cases, I'll also mention I'm restoring apps and settings with Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
I had no such problems with neither JM7 (with or without Voodoo) nor JM8 (Voodoo'd directly after flashing).

Yesterday i applied JM8 and Voodoo to my wife's Galaxy S, will report if anything odd happens there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ashwinds:
I've had problems with wifi draining battery on JM7 and JM8. When using only Edge JM8 (with voodoo) had pretty good battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
I don't have lag issues with any firmware but maybe that's because I'm not out to make it anymore faster then it already is.

I accept the phone for it's current abilities and have not applied an lag fix's.

I think most peoples problems are stemming from applying these lag fixes when their phone are performing well enough.

Don't even root my phone anymore as well as I don't see the need for it.

Each person to their own I guess.

Just my two bits worth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] odyssey61:
Yeah, must disagree with this as they only change the file system not the OS itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davith:
I had the sudden battery draining issue. It was random, and I was pulling my hair off trying to solve it.

At first I thought it was because of the custom kernel from Voodoo, so I flashed JM8 again and installed the stock kernel voodoo lagfix. Issue was stilled there so I flashed again and installed OCLF V2+ from Ryan. Still the same. :mad:

Everytime this draining occured, battery usage showed Android System was at the top and the phone was very warm (around 40 degrees).

So this morning, I cut every running process one by one until the draining stopped. In the end, it was the email app that was responsible for this issue. I had set a Hotmail account (push) around the same time I had flashed JM8, but I didn't think much of it. I'm now using Samsung Email and it seems to be fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Not true, in my experience. JM8 doesn't seem to be a battery drain, and voodoo is not a battery drainer either.

Flash new firmware (xFjm6, hvjh1 or xwjm7 are all solid if you don't like jm8). Don't restore settings on the phone, don't lag fix, install AutoKiller and set to Strict or Aggressive if you want, then just run the phone for a day or two the way you would normally use it and check battery life. If it's okay, and you think it still needs lag-fixing, install voodoo and check battery life again after a day or two.

It's almost always some errant application, as indicated below.

Which email app was causing it? I thought it was the Samsung one until you said that's what you're using without issue now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davith:
It was the stock email app that caused the battery drain for me. The one I'm using now is called Samsung Email. I got the apk in one of the boards here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Thanks. I don't have battery drain issues with the stock email, but maybe it's because despite being set to check every hour, it really doesn't. :( Should try something else, I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Davith:
I didn't have any problem with the stock email app either when it was on automatic sync every hour. Problem was that it was unreliable. Sometimes it stopped showing emails.

The battery draining started when I set an exchange account instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Ah, okay, that's exactly what I have, no reliability in the fetching. It can go days without fetching email if I don't force a manual.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
Richtofen - anymore CSC files for Australia.

Three and Vodafone Australia are now selling the Galaxy S.

Not sure what Firmware they are running but I would be pretty sure they would be running their own CSC's.

VHA - Vodafone Hutchinson Australia maybe?

Flashed my Samsung I9000 with this firmware and works great.

I also applied Voodoo lag fix 3.0. I'm impressed how fast it is. I can't imagine what Samsung guys are trying to prove with their RFS filesystem.

Overall performance: great!

offtopic: i updated a friends Galaxy which had an early firmware (earlier than JM1, can't remember). The phone was as slow as my grandpa's. The difference is so huge. It's just ... ACTION and EFFECT! Just like that ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Likalnik:
Hay

I just flashed my Samsung I9000 with this firmware and works great. I also applied Voodoo lag fix 3.0. and it is crazy fast.

Can somebody tell me which root can i used with JM8. Is it important to use proper root or not
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:
Whatever root method you used on prior firmwares should work.

I used the one in BackfireNL's stickied thread on the first page without problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LoneReaction:
Been using this for a week now.. often, screen doesn't turn off automatically, after it goes to standby/lock screen. Stays there for hours until I press the power button to turn it off!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PlanetJumble:
Maybe some app you installed? E.g. there is a flashlight app that is turned on by shaking the phone while in lock screen, I can easily imagine that screwing up the wake lock.

Personally, I have one app annoying me with constant backlight: DI.fm streaming radio (beta, not yet in market). It keeps the screen on while playing, even when minimized to notification area, have to remember pressing the power button when listening while driving, else it is sucks my battery dry... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LoneReaction:
Nope, I don't have an app like that. Upgraded from JM6 to JM8 without installing extra apps. Strange.

Can I use my "GT-I9000-CSC-FOPJM1.tar.md5" or I have to use CSC of this post for using this JM8?

If I can't use my CSC file, I can use OXX of this post, that contains Spain language, so... with one must I use?

HI,

Just successfully flashed to JM8 with pit 512, csc OXAJM1 and Modem JM4. Everything seems to working fine except I cant access 3g / HSPA at all? checked network connections and is set to auto, in *#2263# -> COMBIN BANDS [*].

Anyone any suggestions?

hugely appreciate any advise! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miragebg:
Basically this ROM brought me a lot of troubles with my 3G internet- I lost my connectivity to any of my apps that need i-net. Then I decided to go back to JM7 and no problem at all so far with my 3G.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] miragebg:
everything you need is included in the Zip in the very first post, so you can download it and give it a try. I used exactly these files plus pit512 and OXX CSC

succes.... well kinda...

had same issue when flashing back to the previous firmware, had to enter APN details for vodafone... 3g etc working..

only now it seems my gmail access has hicupped... can't sync or download from the market?

is there a way to reset / edit password of gmail account in the device or do i need to F.R.?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlexandreT:
I installed JM8 today. After install i used Titanium backup to restore my apps and settings. After restoring I noticed that my contacts hadn't been recovered and so I setup my google account and the phone recovered my contacts. After that I rebooted the phone to install OCLF and it seems like Titanium finished something also because after reboot my wallpaper and desktop folders and icons had also returned. After that my google account was lost and I have been unable to restore it.

I have since removed OCLF because I tought it was the cause for this problem but the problem remains... Any ideas on what to do?

From what I can gather the problem is that it says I am not connected to a network, but I am, everything else seems to be working...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mitchsub:
hope you don't mind if i ask a few questions :)

I would like to flash this on my friends SGS which has JF1 on it at the moment

It is on UK Tmobile so I presume locked but I can do the 3 button thing which brings up 2e

1. Do i need to unlock the phone first before flashing ? (I used a gold card for my desire)

2. Will I loose the 3 button combo ?

3. As I can access the bootloader can I still brick the phone ?

thanks for your help

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ettepetje:
For the Market there is a general fix, clearing the data/cache of 2 Market related applications. You can use search on this subforum or just go to: Settings, Applications, Manage application, "All" tab (!!), and find the 2 (system) Market applications.

After then clearing the data/cache it took my (froyo) sgs 2 separate visits to the Market, My Downloads to get it fixed. The first time only my newly installed and paid applications appeared, the second time all the others 'joined'.

Hope this helped. :)

Question:

...

Plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.

Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass".

...

How long does this take? I am waiting for 20 minutes now and the screen on Galaxy is still the same (Downloading ... Do not turn off Target!!!)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ashwinds:
20 minutes is long. Mine I recollect was done in <5 min. Its much faster with Odin 1.3 than with Odin 1.

Havent had this happen to me before - but 20 min is long enough for me to consider removing it off USB, removing the battery, putting it back and trying again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
That happens when you plug it in when in download mode for the first time, windows have to install the drivers, then it will show in Odin BUT Odin can not access the phone. To make it work, pull the USB out when the download icon shows on the phone, hold Volume-down + Home + Power down until the phone restarts and goes to download mode again, restart Odin, choose the files, plug the USB in again and flash the phone when detected by Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Cycleman:
I did ...

Now I started the Process in Odin again. It says:

<ID:0/006> Added!!

<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006> File analysis..

<ID:0/006> Enter CS for MD5..
