This thread could do with a lot of trimming, for sure.

I believe the 'latest' version and the 'German' version are basically the same thing.

Personally I don't believe the 'No bricks with the German method' line people have been touting in this thread.

The German method is no more safer than the latest one, it's two flashes vs. one flash without a safety net.

I -believe- because you're using Odin, it shouldn't matter if it's efused or not. But then there have been a few brick reports. So not sure!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thibal:
My phone was showing as efused but it went smooth and i had no problem.

I BRICKED my friends phone using this. Did everything to the letter. Odin reported FAIL, & now the phone shows ONLY the comp<>mobile logo. NO download, NO recovery. Tried all key combinations.

I am from India & the SGS was bought here. The installed FW was DDJG4.

Can someone help me? I feel very bad about bricking my friends phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] smackdad4874:
I only have download mode and the comp<>mobile only when its plugged in to the computer.

Please is it bricked or is there a flash of hope...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trujax:
I suppose that is not bricked, if you can force download (adb reboot download) mode you can reflash anytime.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coradux:
You can't use adb in this case, only Odin if it's true he can enter download mode.

I have tried it on a Belgian Proximus Samsung Galaxy S phone with the Eclair 2.1 update 1 rom installed (official rom and rooted). The 3-bottoms combination problem has now been fixed.

When I will update to the latest Froyo 2.2, will I still have this fix or will it be overwritten from the new rom?

Thank you

how do i navigate it to adb on command prompt?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] therealdamiani:
Easy fix, take out your battery, plug your i9000 into your pc using usb, hold down vol up key, then while still holding vol up key, put battery back in. the phone will boot on its own and into download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SamuraiHQ:
If you know the location of the folder, you're halfway there. Simply enter "cd c:\blahblahblah" where c:\ would be the drive and the blahblahblah the location.

Can anyone confirm that they have repaired a

non-working 3br

handset with this fix, and then later installed the official nordic froyo and LOST/KEPT the 3br?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] The El:
I can confirm that kept the fix! I "had" a vodafone branded Galaxy S from Germany without Download Mode via 3 Buttons...

I fixed it with the method in post #1, updated the phone via KIEs and RegHack, rootet the phone via Odin & PDA file (from this forum) and applied the OneClick lagfix.

And I still got the download mode via 3 buttons. I've checked it 5 seconds ago again, just for you ;).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TNStrangelove:
ADB is included in the Android SDK

http://developer.android.com/index.html

It's in the folder tools when unpacked.

Kies is Samsung's filesync, it should attempt to install the program and the drivers automatically when plugged in. If not you can download it online.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ricpersi:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FxDev:
I did all of the instructions and tried it after, when the 3 buttons are pushed I get the "Downloading ... do not turn off Target" so I'm guessing it worked. Am I safe to play around now? :)

PS: Orange UK Device used.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kwukduck:
I updated earlier to 2.2 with the kies hack but i lacked doing the 3button fix first.

So i did it after the update to 2.2 and it all works fine!

So for all of you wondering if you can still apply 3button fix with froyo, i guess thats a yes :)

Summary required

I have to say, I agree with sbp that a summary of current recommendation would be useful (for NOOBs) like myself. I have read all the posts in this thread (honestly it took my about 6 hours!!) and so feel that I have a good overview but I am still a bit confused. Actually reading all the posts may have confused me more than just going for it!

I have downloaded the GT-I9000_P-SBL-RCVDL file from post 1 and the CSC_I9000OXAJM1 file from post 124 but I am not sure which one to use. I am have downloaded the SDK_Toolkit and Odin v1.3 (which contains a s1_odin_20100803.pit file in the archive).

My phone Product Code: GT-1900HKDXEU and my Firmwave is:

PDA: I9000XXJM1

PHONE: I9000XXJM1

CSC: I9000OXAJM1

Looking at the posts, this generic model seems to have worked well with this patch in general but can you confirm what files I need to use?

This thread is now very long and full of contradictory information as people run into problems. It would be good to get a new summary from Richthofen.

Many thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spark001uk:
I wouldn't do it mate, the quote of zero bricks is actually not true, there was a brick or two almost immediately if you read through the posts. I would use Dadonali's guide, which involves first flashing JM5 and then a fix, both via odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sbp:
Thanks for your advise. I will try to locate Dadonali's guide somewhere.

But I don't quite understand the rationale by first flashing to JM5 before the 3-combo-fix. I have just flashed to JP6/JMP (froyo) which is newer than JM5 (using Kies).

What is so special with JM5, that I have to downgrade to this before? - sorry I'm not doubting your advise, just trying to understand how these things works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rzepa10:
To all who wants "3 button fix" Go to 752 post - there is a solution. Now this solution is alsow on first Page. And this is the safest metod for now. Ther was some "bricks" after that, but you know no risk no fun ;) and you do it on your own risk. I done this 4 times :) and Galaxy S is still working

And I will ask one more time.

Is it safe to remove manually (before we flash), from "CODE file" "boot.bin" and "Sbl.bin" If we are not sure that they will remove 3button fix (like for example. JM1, JM5) and we don't want to change bootloader in our phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bullzeye.za:
I'm getting a little frustrated ._.

"adb reboot download" does absolutely nothing but scroll through the adb manual each time, it doesn't seem that "reboot download" is a valid argument for the app.

Am I doing something wrong?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] reydoog:
Thanks Rzepa, I see now that using Odin is the preferred method. My only question is about which file to use - post 752 suggests that we should use Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 whereas the post at the top of the thread has an updating suggesting we download the CSC file for our particular phone from post 124 in my case CSC_I9000OXAJM1.rar.

What gives? Also should these really be flashed as pda and not CSC in Odin?

thanks again,

Anyone knows if its already possible do this in a branded phone??

(Orange - France)

NOTE: In Fact my phone doesn`t have the R/D mode but, when i do the combo of 3 bottons, sometimes appears une image of Android with the message in his side

"FORCE UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING"

Really don`t know what is happening here!

Tks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rzepa10:
Yes, use the PDA file from 752 post "Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5" and when everything go ok it should take only about 3 sec (much less stress:) to apply fix, because it only change Bootloader (not whole firmware).

Remember to tick "Phone Bootloader Update" and re-partition is unticked.

I aplied it on 1 x JM1 and 3 x JM5

Good Luck.

Is it there any reason why Samsung can't fix the 3br when Froyo is released? I have a unbranded UK SGS (GT-I9000HKDXEU with I9000XXJM1/I9000OXAJM1) with the 3br disabled. Do you think I should just wait for the Froyo update and see what happens or try and fix it now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] reydoog:
It worked!

OK, thanks rzepa. Good news here - it worked :D. I did exactly at outlined in post 752 using the file in that post and it took three seconds (I think my heart stopped during the update so glad it didn't take 10 seconds!!! :))

Before the flash:

these did not change after this update. I guess because only the boot loader is altered.

Hello Friends.

I had little different prob. My i9000 has pattern locked. and also the 3 button recovery mode is disabled. however i can get into the "forced upload " by pressing the volume up and menu while the phone is at pattern lock screen.

in this situation the phone detected by odin3 but i could not able to flash it. always stuck at :

Setupconnection in the odin.

i have waited enough but still same.......

tried on different pc and on windows xp but all in vain.

just want to remove the pattern lock.

Any idea/suggestion well come. I thin the prob is that flashing does not starts...

Hang on setupconnection... in odin.

If i adb reboot recovery i get the message "multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/NEE/system/"

So now what? I can use the adb commands for rebooting/getting to recovery so i guess it would work to flash something else in.

Anyone with any suggestions? factory reset?

I don't want to do anything without knowing what/why cause i don't want to brick my new toy :/

I have an unbranded phone in the UK and used the registry hack on Friday last week to try out froyo via kies. Is it still viable to apply this fix over the top of froyo as i have just discovered the 3 button combo on mine does not work (didn't try it before).

Is this three button fix necessary ??

Guys (and gals),

I applied this fix with no problem a couple of days ago but am still reading around this forum and so know that there are still loads of people for which the three button method is not working. I thought you would all be interested in reading this thread showthread.php?t=813580 on this website (sorry cannot post link as still a junior member). What it suggests is that if you don't have the normal three button fix and have bricked your phone (PC arrow phone screen) then you have another different way to get into download mode by pressing and holding the three buttons and waiting for the "S" logo to appear, disappear, appear again, disappear again and then appear for the third time before taking your hands off the buttons.

I cannot try this (as I have now flashed it with the 3 button fix) and phone is not bricked but if someone without this fix has the black screen and wants to give it a try. I am sure that there will be lots of volunteers from the posts on this thread!

It appears from the thread that someone else in this thread showthread.php?t=812933 tried to explain this also but got slated by the rest of us.

Can someone confirm?

Thanks

This is an awesome release to help the likes of myself who got a SGS phone without the 3 button recovery included, the reason why I had to send my phone back for repair and am still waiting for it to be sent back to me.

Anyway, I'm babbling on again. Can this fix be incorporated when flashing a new ROM via ODIN such as JPM? I tried flashing JPM to my handset which was running JM1 and after I had put this 3 button fix in and after flashing the JPM my phone would no longer boot and I could not use the 3 button combo to repair it. Has anyone tried installing this at the same time as JPM or does this usually stay on the phone after flashing a new ROM to the handset?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yuriac:
After hours and hours and hours reading this thread and worried about if do or not to do this fix...

i created some courage and finally did...

AND WORKED!! hehe

I read that many France - Orange branded went to brick after the process, but in my case, its really worked.

To give some additional informations.

Before the fix:

Unrooted

No lagfix

Unlocked (by the method using the computer, not the SGS unlock tool) for more informations, read the BigFaq, tips e tricks, unlocking the device

I applied a factory restore from the settings -> Privacy

And did exactly what was wrote in the Post #752 (Now in the first post)

Tks for all!

PS: Pour tout le monde que ont un branded portable de Orange or SFR. Je pense que le fault c`est le fact de le portable etre "branded". Avant de faire cet fix, essaye faire le "Unlock".
