Hola a todos:

Soy nuevo en esto del ODIN y lo único que quiero desde que tengo el sgs 9000b es poder actualizarlo a froyo. Soy de Chile y lo tengo con entel, bajé el Odin 1.7 y el archivo que dicen que lo actualiza, pero no sé como usarlos (mejor dicho la parte que dicen "cargue el rom en PDA".

Si alguien me explica se lo agradeceré mucho!!!

Atento a su respuesta y perdón si es muy básica la consulta.

Saludos

Hi there...

My Spanish is terrible so I'll write in English, ok?

First, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP. Try MyBackup or Titanium Backup from the Android Market and make a copy of your data to the external SD first.

Here are the steps:

1) put your phone in Download Mode (hold Volume Down + Home + Power at the same time for a few seconds). You'll see a yellow robot/sign.

2) connect the phone to the PC. Wait for the device to be recognized and the drivers installed. Best to do this if you already have Samsung Kies working before.

3) Start up Odin.

4) It should show "COMn:" in yellow near the top of the screen. This indicates that your phone is ready to receive the ROM. If it doesn't, try hitting those 3 keys again.

5) Click on the field beside "PDA". Choose the .tar file you downloaded here.

6) Click "Start" and cross your fingers. It should finish in about 2-3 minutes and reboot the phone.

If it fails in the middle of the flash, don't panic. You just need to hit those 3 keys again and repeat the process.

Only Emergency Calls

Guys

I need some help here. I followed the procedure, everything is working fine, rooted on FROYO.

I use CLARO mobile operator.. and this rom is VIVO mobile operator.

The signal bar is full, i get SMSs, E-mails....

But i can't make or receive calls, it says EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY.

What can i do?

Note, before using this ROM i used the international one, and got that problem on the touchscreen. So i installed this ROM and everything seems to be working ok.

Apreciate the help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docca:
Hi there... I'm also using CLARO here. Don't like the VIVO logos on the ROM, but it's working perfectly with me.

Is your phone set to use the proper band? Check "Conexões sem fio e Rede->Redes Móveis->Modo de Rede", it should be set to GSM/WCDMA.

If it doesn't work, try switching to GSM only. If you the warning disappears, you may have an issue with the 3G operator signal in your area.

Also, did you try turning off all antennas and turning them on again? (hold Power, then "Modo Offline").
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gentefina:
Hey,

Thanks for the help. I figured it out....

I switched it off, removed SIM and SD, waited a few minutes, then started and everything was working...

BUT i wasn't at home when i did that.. I came home and the problem came back... Now even removing the sim, problem persists...

I live in a city that does not support 3G, only GSM...

100% Original, No Operator ROM - Tested and Approved!

Friends...

For those who are still in doubt about this ROM, I already tested it and it is perfect at my I9000B Brazillian SGS from Claro.

- No more Claro's customizations, even at the boot.

- GPS is working perfectly and getting sinal very quickly. (before I update my ROM, I cannot use SGS GPS. GPS was not fixing the satellite, and it was very difficult to find any satellite. Now, I see my GPS getting 8 satellites in few seconds, and using a navigation software, I could see my SGS GPS working 100%, showing my current correct location). I saw many SGS users, not only Brazillian version, claiming the SGS doesn't work. Now I think this is a problem caused by CUSTOM ROM). Using this OPEN ROM, I don't have any problems anymore!

- Gmail and Gtalk already installed and working perfectly.

- Digital TV for Brazil working 100%.

- One thing I still noticed, is that Google doesn't show some programs at Market for south american users. One way to change it and get access to all Market apps is gaining ROOT access and installing a program called "Market Enabler". It works perfectly for me too. (thats a configuration variable called "gms.sim.operator.numeric" that in my case, because I was using a Claro's phone, is set to 72405. Using MarketEnabler you can "fake" any other operator's from the world, so applications won't know that you are a south american user, and it will list all available applications for you).

- Samsung programs came installed from default but you don't need to use it if you don't want. While I was still without using MarketEnabler, Samsung applications don't list Gmail and Gtalk. After faking my provider to anyone from US, Gmail and Gtalk are appearing now!

Well... I recomend 100% using this ROM for all Brazillians that had problems with their phones!!!

Thanks a lot Chainfire!

Hi there,

I do have a doubt here:

Using a patch we could spoof our product and update using Kies. The froyo version is JJPD.

Roms with the letter 'p' are still beta, right?

I remeber seeing somewhere that the second letter represent the month but when it's beyond 12, they are beta.

Am I right?

Hi Chainfire,

By "open" you mean?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
It's a ROM for unbranded device, the I9000B sold seperately, NOT the "carrier" version. It doesn't include any carrier-specific nonsense.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgcardoso:
Ok, got it ;-)

But what about the version? As far as I undertood, it works like: Year/Month/Version. So, as 'p' is beyond 12, this is a test or beta release.

Is it right?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chainfire:
JPD .. The J is still 10 (2010), and many ROMs still follow A - L for January to December. Indeed, M and P, in the past, were only used for test ROMs, but on Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab they are also used for official releases.

So that M and P are beta, is not necesarrily true anymore!

I got my i9000 international almost two months ago from ML. A friend at samsung's told me the launch date of the brazilian version and I didnt want to wait. And when I heard about the one-seg hdtv the first thing I thought was "dudes who get this phone will have issues with updates, won't be fully able to use cooked roms, will always be the last ones".

TV is a nice show off feature, but open air hdtv in brazil sux contentwise. I really don't plan to watch RedeTV or any Globo soap opera on my phone. Also that antennae makes the phone looks cheap, like the chinese MP20 do-it-all that flooded the market around here.

You can use Motonav for your trips, it works at full resolution, but you gotta dig a little to find the correct apk. It's a temp solution while we dont get Igo running fluid and taking all the advantages of the I9000 hardware. It works ok, probably better than the Google solution.

Also, the international ROMs that carry Portuguese dictionary for Swipe work very well. It has words with accents and it covers 97% of the brazilian words you will everyday use with no hassle. You dont need the pt-br version.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richardbroder:
Whatever you do, AVOID getting any of the north-american branded Galaxy S models (that is, Captivate, Fascinate, Vibrant or Epic 4G)... 1st of all, they are factory-locked phones, they are designed to work with and only with their respective operators, although there are processes that enable you to unlock them, it´s never as good as having a stock factory unlocked UNBRANDED phone...

I see ALOT of people in this forum having problems with their branded Galaxy S models. Flashing them is much harder, some of them don´t have the 3-button features (recovery mode and download mode - required for you to flash with the latest and greatest firmwares), there are firmware differences and little details that make everything different, you can´t simply flash a north-american SGS with a International SGS firmware, for example (do it at your own risc). You might even try, but it´s dangerous, some of them get irreversibly bricked. Now the interesting part is that I´ve NEVER seen a International SGS get irreversibly bricked, I have bricked my SGS several times by doing wrong stuff, but I always put it in download mode and reflash it, and it works great again - alot of people with the branded versions don´t have the same luck.

And while there are specific forums for each of the north-american variants, most (if not all) people in that situation are actually north-americans that did buy and USE their phones at their respective carriers (no need for unlocking them), you´ll be in a very diferent situation, since you´ll have to unlock it first...

Whatever you do, just avoid it. The best SGS you can have is the International, unbranded and unlocked SGS. Either way, R$1.499,00 on a branded SGS is a BAD deal, I paid R$1.399,00 for my International SGS on ML....

You can also try the Brazilian model bought directly at some carrier, if you have a good mobile plan it´s way cheaper then getting a unbranded phone, but for what I´ve heard it can´t be updated/rooted as with the International version, since the Brazilian version is somehow locked for these updates... so you will be stuck with the brazilian-specific firmwares and updates untill someone manages to figure out how to "unlock" the brazilian model to work with the International firmwares/roms/mods/updates etc...

Claro has offered me the SGS (brazilian) with a good discount... but I chose to use my points to get a iPhone 4 32GB for R$299,00, wich I´ll then repass for >R$1500,00... and I´ll just keep using my International SGS :p

I've been reading posts from forum to forum and the best one on the topic is this one. Any news on rooting the brazillian version?

Hope someone's got news, because I went MAD when I found that I couldn't install whatever I wanted on my phone because some stupid executive from Claro decided so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulomario77:
That's why I don't buy branded (operator) phones. I will gladly pay a premium price for freedom.

Right now I'm not really sure if I should have gotten the International version from Mercado Livre (cheaper, already rootable/hackable) or the Brazilian version (pt_BR Swype, 1-year warranty from the manufacturer plus 2-year additional warranty from the retail store I bought it from).

I don't agree with heduardo who said that adding the TV feature was a dumb move and that high end phone users don't watch "open TV". Well, I think it's very practical to have a TV set wherever you go. And what would be the alternative to "open TV"? Carrying a Sky antenna around, or perhaps a 50 thousand mile coaxial cable?

Regarding the cheap looking antenna, it's unoticeable when retracted, and a clever engineering solution considering its length when fully extended. But it looks very fragile indeed.

All that has been said about firmware updates being less frequent for the Brazilian than the International version sounds very likely to become true. This is my first Samsung handset, and also my first Android-powered phone. I have always been a Nokia enthusiast (former N73, N82 and N97 owner) and have had some disappointment with Sony Ericsson (Vivaz). From my experience with Symbian and Nokia, Brazilian handsets don't lag too much behind their European counterparts when it comes to firmware updates. But Samsung is a different company and I've read many complaints from Galaxy 5 owners. Let's hope Samsung Brazil will continue to treat the Galaxy S as a honorable flagship product.

If there's one thing I hate is the Portuguese language as written in Portugal. I would rather get an en_US handset than a pt_PT one. The translation done by Samsung Brazil is not perfect, by the way. Nokia's products, on the other hand, have always had 100% correct Brazilian Portuguese text strings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Umm, Why is it not as good? Actually, from what I can tell, Brazil uses the 850MHZ band that the US/Canada use. The international Galaxy S I9000 doesn't support this band.....

You obviously have not read much on these forums. I've seen plenty of posts where people have flashed a Vibrant or Captivate firmware on the I9000 which stops the 3 button modes from functioning. The same goes for the opposite. If you flash an I9000 rom on a Vibrant or Captivate, it will also brick it. All galaxy s phones have a equal chance of bricking. Minus the ones that do not have the 3 button modes functioning, but that is random.

Yes, he will have to unlock it, but this is done easily, and is probably already done by the seller. He will not have any other issues with it. I'm not sure why you're trying to hard to convince him otherwise.

Again, I would love a logical explanation as to why a phone that doesn't support the 850MHZ band that Brazil uses would be considered the best?

On the other end, why are there so many chinese MP49893287's that do have TV recpetion?

Open TV in Brazil is crap by its own self, and even closed TV is a model that will one day be extinct. With the evolution and widespread of online video streaming, regular TV has its days counted...

Just ask yourself one question; if your mobile phone is equipped with WiFi and 3G, all you need is a decent data plan (and, well, if you have a R$1,500,00 phone, it means you probably DO have a decent data plan) - that means you can download/stream high-quality online content anytime, ANYWHERE, is there any sense in watching crappy programming from RedeGlobo?
