Works for New Zealand I9000SRJH1

It works here~ bought mine last week in auckland and was very disappointed learning that the recovery mode on this model was locked :P

Got it working by changing registry as directed in post, and using Kies v1.5.1.10074_2 directly from new zealand samsung download, so didn't have to upgrade to 1.5.1.10074_45 (as I was getting disconnection problems when upgrading the software through Kies)

Voila! after the firmware downloaded and flashed both download and recovery mode works!

however I had to get recovery mode this way:

1. Hold down vol up + home + power WHILE the phone is still on.

2. Wait for it to power down after around 10seconds.

3. When the Samsung GT-I9000M logo pops up, release the power button, but leave the vol up + home still pressed down.

4. Voila! recovery mode!

Hope this helps if you are stuck with a New Zealand Galaxy S without the 3 button combo enabled!

Yes, with the reg hack you can. But wait a little longer as they say will come with a solution within days... :)

Helllo,

What did you do exactly?

AFAIK, all button combo's will fail, no matter what tricks are applied, if the button combo doesn't work.

What post with what registery settings are you referring too?

And why should it even work with a registry change for Kies, it doesn't make sense, unless you flash a new firmware if the button combo is software locked.

Please enlighten me!

Thanks in advance.

PS. I've already researched over 40 hours in this issue and no one has a definite working solution.

Running JPH, but wanna do it on a XWJM2 too, which has 3-button-combo disabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] akex054:
Just take a look at above posts on this thread. Really helpfull to read what was said before asking. ;)

We are talking about a new release of JH2 which contains the 3BR fix.

Lol, Casio1987 must have missed the most important posts. How irony when he's still dwelling with his issue while the fix is already around.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Casio1987:
I couldn't edit, due to hyperlinks, because of spamprotection.

But here is my edit of post #139

If you mean the regchange referring to post #134,

this will flash the firmware to the 'fix' Samsung posted on facebook. But, this is the old firmware and I want to run JPH.

Also, what was your previous firmware before flashing?

Personally, I don't think it's possible for people having 3-button-combo disabled already to get it unlocked for every firmware.

The firmware have to be programmed to recognize the buttons are pressed.

It driving me nuts why Samsung did this on purpose, while android is open source...

They refused to give support and now they do, since one agreed that it's samsung RESPONSIBILITY that this feature is omitted in some builds.

And now they wanna reverse it, a bit too late for relatively some, if this is hardware locked and firmware have to emulate the recovery / download mode.

Then people with the same issue as me can ship their phones all over the world to Samsung and it will cost a lot of money (maybe that's

why they reverse their decision to keep it unlocked? One word: lame).

Did anybody get this to work with a German Carrier and JM1 Firmware? ( JM1 was the Stock Firmware on my Device )

I don't dare to test it with the modified Registry since the Phone of Uvex got stuck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lostabeer:
Hey Casio,

Read here the first message of this thread from facebook~

Then download Kies software from samsung. Best to get the latest as possible.

The do this as detailed by Mingers_Phd when your phone is CONNECTED to your pc with Kies turned on!

After that, look for FIRMWARE UPGRADE in Kies, then a screen will popup, giving you the option to upgrade your "JG9" firmware ;)

Leave it running for a while until is all downloaded, and the phone should reboot itself with the new firmware from Canada :)

Your 3 button combo should be fixed and working!

But I can't guarantee that works on every phone tho, although seems like most people is getting results (including me) correctly~

Good Luck!

I personally tested with three different, previously "faulty" (i.e missing 3-button combos) phones.

Works like a Swiss watch :D

The file is exactly the same as yesterday.

I don´t know why Phoenixdigital bricked his phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Casio1987:
The fix is not for newer firmware releases and I wasn't talking about the fix for the older releases...

Can YOU actually READ full posts? Don't be a clown, OK?

My first at post #139, read it's PS.

PS. Due to spamprotection I can wait 5 min before replying again *sigh*

Please discuss relevant information and don't be a clown. I can't help the spamprotection, do you?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] akex054:
Stop it. Samsung didn't do it on purpose. It was a mistake (how can you explain some have the 3Br combo enabled and some not, for the same build ?)

JH2 allow you to fix SPL, then you can flash a newer version of firmware. Where is the prob ?

Check a bit higher to flash only SPL. Hope you'll stop complaining ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SuperVirusQ:
I'm confused after go through this thread.

So do we have a clear conclusion yet?

Whether we can use this "kies trick" to fix the the i9000(international version) or not?

@lostabeer

Thank you for your information, that's the post I was referring before (sorry, I had to wait 5 min for my edit, which resulted in a new post).

Meanwhile, people arleady replying on my old reply.

I meant to get the latest firmware JPH with 3 button combo enabled, without emulating it with SPL.

@akex054

From what I've read and my experience of Samsung customer service on phone regarding this issue, I can tell you this:

1) First it's a feature supported by Samsung;

2) They removed combo feature, because of people started flashing and rooting;

3) Samsung refuses to acknowledge this feature for their clients;

4) Under high pressure, they are working on a fix.

So this is a mistake? It's clearly done on PURPOSE.

What's your motivation to say it's a mistake, please explain.

Thank you for the more interesting info about SPL.

If I flash to a newer fw version after flashing firmware with SPL before, then 3 button combo still works?

I don't think so, it's still emulated by the firmware, but if you can prove me wrong, I will try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] akex054:
For what i know (i have some friends at Samsung), it's a mistake ;) ...

The 3BR combo is used by Samsung tech (a friend of mine is one of them) to unbrick your phone when you've done bad ...

Cause of the mistake, Samsung had to change motherboard of the bricked phones ... That's why they fixed it, not because they disabled it first ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s4int:
they really have to exchange the motherboard, if the phone is bricked? i thought they have a different way to flash or access download mode (jtag?!)??!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Casio1987:
That post is IRRELEVANT for my situation and according to the latest fix as per this date/time, it came after your reply, where a referrer have been posted by backfirenl (see qoute below).

Don't reply if you don't know what you are talking about.

Thank you so much! I was looking for a fix like this.

I only need to know if this will work for the i9000 international version, so I hope someone in his respective thread will come up with some results for this.

I can't risk it on this phone, as this one isn't mine.

Thank you very much for your insights, does make sense indeed.

So they push their fixes with 3br enabled with a good mobo or they push 3br disabled with spl integrated in firmware?

Thanks again.

PS. Spamprotection driving me nuts ^_- (uri & timer)

did anybody try with DXJG4 Firmware( Singapore version)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mengsuan:
What are you shouting about? Since the beginning of the thread, the thread has been discussing making registry edits to allow the update on every phone. You've just been missing out yourself.

You said:

"AFAIK, all button combo's will fail, no matter what tricks are applied, if the button combo doesn't work."

And I don't see why you have to bombard me in 2 posts that you made. :confused:

Nvm, forget it. I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. Better that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Casio1987:
I've actually read about the regmodification several times, not only here. But that's not what I want.

First, because I don't use Kies, I use Odin with the JPH coming from samfirmware.

Second, the firmware mentioned is an older one than the one I've downloaded.

Third, the regmodification doesn't make sense about getting the 3br fixed, other than get the firmware slipped through Kies, which I prefer a manually download over it via Odin. The firmware obviously has the 3br fixed in it's spl, probably in sbl.

I replied, because one have called it works, without specifying more information about what firmware, model, etc. I was curious if this worked for newer firmwares as well, when one would upgrade to a newer version than one Samsung's fix provided.

Apologies accepted, please accept mine too and sand over it :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Casio1987:
Nobody knows, except Samsung fixers.

Maybe force download, Jtag or via ipl?

what is my other option for getting the bell fix on my phone.

i have lag fix and rooted my phone... but thats all... my phone shows JG9 so i should be good to just do it... damn kies!

I would paypal anyone $20 right now if you can get Kies up and running for me. I need this fix. It's been about 3-4 weeks trying to get Kies going but never came close. Can't even install the ****ing thing. Getting "error reading setup initialization file" errors (i'm at work maybe firewall?)

But even at home (windows 7) it won't recognize anything

Vanilla android doesn't support PC based sync. You may be able to get access to the SD card under Windows (doesn't work for me, however), but that's about it.

Best thing to do if you want to sync up your Android contacts etc is to get a Google account and sync to that. If you want to have a more complete backup, Titanium Backup provides a pretty decent backup to SD card, which you can then copy to your PC.

If you're looking for Outlook integration, you may be able to do it via an intermediate Google account, via http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=23333, or use the Exchange Server support built into Android if you have server based Outlook calendar and contacts.

I got JH2 the other day. Yesterday my phone was going retarded, freezing and losing signal when it never had before. Seemed ok last night and today though I haven't spent much time with it today.

GPS was totally out of whack last night, sitting still and my location was jumping all over the place. Google navigation is unusable. Checked compass in GPS essentials and it was fine but in nav it just spins around and can't get it right.

Youtube widget changed. Now shows most viewed on the main bar but video and search buttons are not functioning properly. Right now it only shows the search button. If I search or launch youtube then go back the video button will be there but neither thet nor the search button will work. Wish I had just left it alone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChancellor:
Just update dude. Everyone is experiencing various issues regardless of the firmware. I run 3 to 4 times a week using endomondo and the GPS tracks my route almost flawlessly. A few hitches here and there but nothing horrible.

My 3 button combo wasn't working at all and I was already on JH2. Had to do the registry trick to get Kies to flash the new JH2 on my phone and now it works. Upgrading to the new JH2 is the best choice to make, especially if you have plans on using a few mods.

I highly recommend the battery mod available on this forum after you upgrade. The SGS stock battery indicator is horrible and inaccurate, and I rather not waste my homescreen space on a battery widget.

Still losing signal though. Yesterday the girlfriend tried to call me and said she either got a busy signal (WTF) or it just went straight to voicemail.

Today I tried to make a call and had to redial two or three times because it kept losing signal. Def a problem with the phone and not anything to do with reception in my area. Only phone calls though, never lose signal when using data or market ect.

Guys, I'm a bit dense on this subject so please be kind.

I have JH2 on my Galaxy. I can't remember if I updated to this version via Kies.

So far, the 3-button recovery problem has not affected me. I haven't rooted Android (since I don't need SU rights), I haven't yet unlocked the phone (no need) and I haven't attempted any Android system updates. I guess I could be called an average user. I haven't tested the 3-button issue.

What circumstances could arise down the road, which would make it necessary for me to do a 3-button recovery? In other words, is this a problem which could affect all Galaxy owners?

Now for the last 24 hrs I have yet to be able to make a call, although datta and texting works perfectly fine, every time I make a call it says my radio is off. And the same problem when someone calls, they are lucky if they get a fast busy signal.
