Battery date: Aug 12th

This is the second time the internal sd failed in this phone, so the battery date has nothing to do with the replacement motherboard that was installed the end of September.

I did it without a pit file, because it isn't needed without re-partition checked. Without re-partition checked, odin gets the partition info from the phone and flashed everything within the partitioning already on the phone.

I know samfirmware says to flash stuff with 512 and repartition, and then 803 without, but that's not how odin works and well, they're wrong...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
Rom just stopped working so I went back to Doc's JPO.. when I have more time I will play around more with it.. I used Odin3 1.7 with 512 and repartition. But like I said it stopped working.

Also I have no issue with my internal SD I have flashed now over 20times and i'm back to Doc's JPO and it works great.

Can someone try to Decrypted the files again.. I think their is some corruption.

Here is that link again to the encrypted files.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony604:
If Electroz would share the encryption key with us, anyone can decrypt it.

The correct syntax is decodertest <file name> <encryption key>.

It will then make a decrypted file in the same directory. They key should be a 5 or 6 digit numeric key from what I've seen

Has anyone tried the JK3 labelled one? From what it appears it looks like people went for the JK4 which turned out to be JK3 anyway.

Decryption key would be awesome as I have both ready to be decrypted but no key to do it with. Don't know if I'd flash tonight as I might not have the time to devote to it but we'll see.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriC_101:
This time I installed the ROM with no Pit just flashed it with Odin 1.7 and over top of JPO and it seems to be very fast going to play around with it for a bit and see what happen but it looks real good so far coming from doc's JPO to this ROM.

Also it didn't erase any of my settings doing it this way..

No I just have to root it.

I must say it feels much nicer then jh2! Way more smooth. Gps locks in seconds.

I like it!

I used no pit when flashing btw.

So far it sounds like Samsung got our phones right, so it may have been worth the wait after all.

Only time will tell if it starts to bog down or become flaky, but seems like all the brave souls who flashed it and have it working are pleased with it.

so what's the best thing to do if i'm using stock JH2 ? factory reset & flash JK3 or flash JK3 straight ahead?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got_milk:
I factory-reset and then flashed, but others have gone straight to JK3. With big upgrades like this I would always factory-reset just to make sure nothing goes haywire in the process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackns:
thats what i did factory reset and flashed had no problems at all just follow the 3rd post

all you need is 2 files the Doc's 7.6.2 which u change it to "update"

and Doc_XWJPA_v7.6.2 which i just put it on my internal sd

followed the instructions and it worked.

to be this phone feels like a ticking time bomb~ oh god,,,,

i need to get totally different brand of a phone to not have this fear of when it'll brick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grashoper:
I know the feeling!! my last 4 were HTC, and the experience was far superior to what I have been personally experiencing and what I have read these past 3 months with the Bell I9000M.

I have made detours twice now to specifically look at the new HTC Legend Z. I still have yet to come up with a 'good' reason to keep this Samsung. Absolute #1 reason being, is because the sensitivity of the mic during both in-call, and video recording is absolutely horrible, and near zero noise cancellation or filtering (it only has one mic anyway). When in any kind of noisy environment at all, (like inside a piece of heavy equipment, in a busy downtown street, or inside a big diesel truck with the window down on a low speed city street, let alone on the highway) the phone is near useless, and VERY annoying to the person listening to everything around you!! Think what I'll do is keep an eye on the boards and stay up to date on the HTC for a month or so... I'm kinda thinkin it wont even be that long before the SS hits Kijiji!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
I noticed your sig says out of service , did the bomb already go off? I have that same feeling to especially since I used Odin. But I was running spikes rom for3-4 days and everything went fine with odin once I factory reset (knock on wood they stay that way) , hopefully I am one of the lucky ones who have a non faulty SD card.

I mean on the forums its hard to say if its odin or what or if some phones are just faulty to begin with maybe they should of called it the Galaxy 360 ( I went through 3 xbox 360's in my first year of owning it :( ) . I mean if your on these forums your here cause you like to flash/mod your phone or you stumbled upon it cause your phone is no longer working as intended and the polls are pretty much based on these people.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyfawcett:
Odin

Jesus Christ, so many people hating on Odin. Where's the proof that Odin bricked your phone? I have yet to see it. So much conjecture with so little evidence.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
On average ur more likely to corrupt ur internal sd with odin than w/o (only if ur sdcard was faulty to begin with). Refer to this. Aside from the few "I didnt do anything and it still corrupted".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmare56:
we don't have solid proof because not everyone with this phone did the survey, only a very very very small number that visit this section. but according to the survey, when you filter out some results, most of the people with bricked phones used odin and most people who had not used odin and their phones were untouched were still fine. that doesn't mean odin will definitely ruin your phone but it speeds up the process maybe. and for people like me who don't have a receipt and bought the phone keeping in mind that ill sell it soon, want it to last another couple months so i can at least sell it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
Well said. That's why im on a non-odin spree :P

I've flashed jpo + voodoo snapshot all w/o odin (kies + vibrant modded 3e recovery that allows testkeys).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
I do not blame you but you also have to understand theres more room for error using odin as well.

Flashing using cwm is alot more fool proof.

Who really knows out of that poll whos sd's were actually toast.

So im gonna stick with faulty phone to begin with.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmare56:
ah i can't resist. i am going to flash doc's jk3 bell froyo using cwm, battery life sucks on jpo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
If ur scared of bricking + no receipt then might i suggest patching kies and getting jpo.

Remember even when official firmware comes, it'll come through kies so with kies ur technically not taking a risk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmare56:
yea im on jpo already using kies, but my battery is horrible, its tempting to get jk3, doc's saying its one he's using on his phone now. i guess im looking up to him :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
Well I can't comment of "Official Froyo" on Samsung since it hasn't been released yet.

What I can comment on is that I also have a Telus Desire and everyone there said just update early using the RUU option. I waited since some had mixed reviews about the Froyo update going down the RUU route. So I waited and waited and waited and shortly before midnight on Nov 1 Froyo was released by Telus and it was AMAZING! The biggest thing that I loved was the major INCREASE in battery life.

I don't know what the official update is going to be on Bell's Galaxy S compared to the Telus Desire, but if battery improves (plus I still have the internal SD) then I still think the wait is worth it...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catsa:
no one force you to flash your phone this way. if you waited like a regular customer until official update is released through Kies, and it still bricks, then you've got a problem. otherwise, you are doing everything at your own risk.

I have owned this phone since it first came out in August, it was the first batch (with 3 button recovery). I have only ever bricked it once, that was when i did somethign wrong using Odin when trying to install a lag fix for the first time. Other than that it has been very stable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtran00:
Totally agree with you on this. Same boat, got my sgs in aug. I havent done anything to mine. Yes it does lag from time to time but overall its not that bad.

After reading all issues and badness with froyo i am not even sure if i want froyo, hahahah but i will be all over it like white on rice when it comes out....when it comes out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaelstromXC:
I know this is a bit of a far fetch..(because we are "suppose" to get Froyo in mid Dec)

EDIT: he said they have been getting alot of calls in regard to this, so i urge you to call in and nag them about the update (call technical support)

he did hint to me that they are not suppose to say anything about it, but they are testing the new firmware, so samsung has released it to bell, but bell is tweaking it to their own needs to make sure it functions properly and what not... So it is coming he says soon, but no exact date available.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaelstromXC:
Well, Samsung Canada said Mid December on Facebook, but hopefully it's "soon" like what the Bell rep said.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm-digital:
The unofficial Froyo (JK3) that everyone is flashing is more than likely the ROM bell is testing as it's a complete Bell ROM with all the Bell bloatware. If JK3 passes testing it would become the official ROM to be released through Kies. If it doesn't pass then it would go back to Samsung for some tweaks.

JK3 is really showing off what this phone is capable of. I really haven't had any issues with it and it's very stable. It's a little faster, GPS performing better, flash performance in the browser is great and I get better battery life.

I was happy with the official Eclair (JH2) but I'm extremely happy with JK3.

As for people having problems with JK3, they either have a hardware problem that the install of JK3 is revealing or they didn't flash properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
I agree with Digital. I have no issues yet with this rom. I even removed the bloat ware bell has on it along with a few other apps.

The phone is quick and responsive only issue I had was FB app was FCing but I installed it and reinstalled FB and all is good now.

Edit.... In 8 hours light/moderate usage (xda app, dolphin browser approx an hour total) I went from 100% to 84% with this rom, previously I was going from 100% to roughly 50% with light usuage in 8 hours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darrenweiner:
I knew this was too good to be true.

Flashed the JK3 rom and it was working great for 3 days. Then suddenly last night the phone dies on me. Looks like the SD card is dead.

I did flash with ODIN. Now I'm not saying flashing has anything to do with my phone crapping out but you should at least be aware of the possibility.

I'm off to Bell this morning to send phone for repair. I hope they give me a loaner.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
Flashing has to do with accelerating the death of ur internal sd (it had to be defective to begin with).

Regardless, ur phone WILL last longer if u do not use ODIN.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast1fred:
I flashed the JK3 on Friday night. It was great at first, then lag started to appear. Saturday night I only saw home screen with no icons. Rebooted phone and SD card was dead. I used ODIN as well.

I'm bringing it in to Bell today, but even once I get it back I'm worried that it'll just break down again.

Is Bell just replacing these faulty SD card phones with ones that have the same flaw, due to fail again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
I believe the only solution to repairing the internal sd failure is replacing the entire mb. But its probally replaced with a refurb.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
U forgot to say, "have had no problems! so far" :p

Remember it doesn't corrupt right after a rom flash, its a few days after that you find out if your phone is defective or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm-digital:
Since I've had this phone I've had no lag, even loaded down with apps. That's on both JH2 and JK3. I believe any I9000M that suffers from lag will eventually suffer SD failure as lag would be a sign of RFS corruption.

Since SD failure would happen no matter what if there is an SD problem I decided I would just go ahead and flash. If it is going to fail I would rather have it sooner than later.

Whether you flash with Kies or Odin its still writing data to the SD in the same way. If you don't want to flash via Odin because the chance of SD failure then you shouldn't flash via Kies for the same reason because they are doing basically the same thing. The only thing with Odin is that you can cause problems due to the additional options but thats not an issue if you follow directions.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarambuka:
How many tries to flash a firmware usually before the SD card dies? I did that two times with Kies and the JH2 firmware. First time when JH2 came out and then re-flashed the updated JH2 with the 3-button download/recovery fix. That was about two months ago and no problems so far. I guess I'm from the lucky ones as my phone is from the very first batch sold by Bell. Or should I try flashing with Odin to see if it makes the difference. :)

My first one corrupted without doing anything other than turn it on. The second one corrupted all of a sudden but the 2nd phone has a working recovery mode so was able to factory reset.

Never flashed

Hi this is my first post, i have been following these post very carefully. I just wanted to mention that i too have the i9000m from Bell and it died on me last week. I took it to Bell and they sent it out to be fixed. From reading the posts on this forum , it really looks like the sd card went south. I have never flashed my phone or done anything out of the ordinary to the phone. I don't know what ODIN means. I will let you know what Bell tell me when i pick up the phone sometimes this week. Hope they changed the sd card and that will be the end of my problems but i have a bad feeling about this phone. I think i will always think in the back of my mind that it could stop working any time. To bad i really really like this phone.:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
it would probably come back with a note saying "PCB changed" that will be the motherboard and will also implies the internal SD were toasted.

if you are in the GTA area it will most likely be repaired by FutureTel

which they ran out of PCB, they are in back order (according to some other posts) that means you might be waiting for 2 weeks or more

FutureTel usually have a fast return rate between a week to a couple of week, if they have the parts, else it might take like 6 weeks, as it happened to my original phone

When I was at the Bell store yesterday in order to send my Galaxy S for repair (flashed JK3 Rom and the internal SD card failed 3 days later), I asked when Froyo would be out. The guy said they received confirmation from Bell that Froyo would be out at the end of the November.

Take it for what it's worth. If anyone is thinking of flashing JK3 rom, I would wait the week or so for the official release.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm-digital:
If the official 2.2 is released before the date Samsung gave then it looks like testing has been going well. There is a good chance that JK3 will be the official 2.2. It's been running great on my phone with better performance than JH2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] got_milk:
I suspect unless a crippling bug appears that JK3 will be the official firmware. I'm at almost 90 hours uptime with over 3 days without a charge and I'm only just under 50% battery life, and I haven't seen any real lag issues yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dm-digital:
They've done a good job with JK3. Would be nice if it was using a more standard file system and not RFS but at least there is no lag. I'm quite happy with it.
