I had Voodoo running on JH2, but I made sure to disable it.

- created the disable lag fix folder and rebooted the phone, waited until the conversion was complete

- Factory data reset (i think I did it from privacy settings instead of recovery mode)

- Flashed JK3 with Odin

- Booted up, but everything FC'ed

- Flashed to JH2

- Dead

I'll definitely try that. He mentioned installing hardcore kernel with Odin, is that just like a normal flash through Odin? Could you give me the basic steps?

Good luck. Im stuck with an original galaxy meanwhile my phone is at the shop and its sooooo slooooowwww. At least i can tether it to my lappy and consume some of my data !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Felixpau86:
Revert back to jh2 then re flash
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
I had voodoo installed too and I disabled it just like you did. Weird.

I hope you get it working again!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
Me too. I hope Idan gets back to me with just some basic instructions. Words like 'kernel' scare me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bossman74:
As anyone had icons disappear from one of your home screens after a reboot ????

Since the last 2 days, when I add shortcuts to some of my home screens (by dragging them from the apps list) they are gone after I restart my phone ?

But the one I added in the first few days after I flashed, are still there...WEIRD

And since I moved to JK3, Shazam's installation always fails.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frandromeda:
The store manager here in Ottawa told me that the 60 day exchange was ONLY while Samsung/Bell were low on stock of the i9000m. He said that it's no longer the case, so the 30 day DOA exchange applies.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C.Flat:
:) Flashing JH2 let it boot back up slightly more normal. BUT. It now goes to a black screen after the S is constructed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
Thats where I'm stuck at. I'm going to try the hardcore kernel and cwm recovery tonight.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Basic instructions are all over the forum. For one on one hand holding take it to bell.to get you started and answer your previous question get odin version of hardcore kernel and flash as pda nothing else selected.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
Thats what I was looking for. Thanks!

This was about a month ago. As far as I know there was no shortage here in Edmonton at that time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spectre85:
Solved - brought i9000m back to life - soft brick

So originally I downloaded I9000UGJK3.tar and also odin 1.7 plus pit file. I re-partitioned using the s1_odin_20100512.pit and then flashed the jk3 file. upon reboot my SD was messed up and would only boot past the S logo. It went black and just vibrated a few times.

So came across a forum saying to boot with speedmod Kernel

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

Downloaded the	speedmod-kernel-k9a-256hz.zip because they say that was default, then booted an old 2.1 eclair. My phone after sitting at the S logo finally booted, I let it sit for approx 5 minutes.

We then Flash froyo again this time without the re-partition. (put your phone in download mode, open odin 1.7, connect phone, click PDA and locate I9000UGJK3, make sure repartition us UNCHECKED, then hit start)

we tested this method on my buddies without wiping any user data and it worked
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
Yea make sure you follow the steps:

Flash with Odin3 and No Pit. Also make sure Re-Partition is Un-checked

PDA - "I9000UGJK3.tar"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spectre85:
Ha ya, I was following another forum post which now has the pit files removed....guess too many people were bricking the phones. anyways, I posted just in case someone was in the same boat as me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yvrRome:
Just be careful. I ran into the exact same thing (different Froyo ROM) but I fixed it after flashing JH2 back and then re-flashed Froyo without re-partition. Everything was working fine for two weeks and then all of a sudden, I started getting many force close (I don't have root or lagfix). I restarted my phone and stuck in that black screen again. I could not revive it no matter what ROM I flashed.

I got a replacement SGS and I haven't had any problems (for almost 3 months...knock on wood)... mind you I also haven't flashed any ROM's since my first SGS died.

I'm having a hard time not flashing JK3, but I think I'll wait for the official Froyo.

I just checked Kies and it's not available but hopefully this is a sign the official will be released soon. I don't know if this is the final or a tweak to JK3 for more testing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lexcyn:
Can't wait any longer, updating to the firmware posted on first page ... let's see how this goes!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jfcron0:
A bit of warning for those who wants to upgrade the firmware.

I upgraded to JK3 last night and didn't use the phone at all during the day. It was ther eon my desk doing nothing. A few hours ago I received a SMS message, the screen lit up and I was greeted by a FC of the stock SMS app. Every app I tried to open gave me a FC.

I rebooted the phone and now I get a black screen after the SGS logo. Reading the other threads, it would appear that this is a failing internal SD card. When I go into recovery mode, it says it can't mount the device and that the SD card is unformatted. Trying to format it gives an error.

While I can't say this has been caused by the new firmware, it does seem very strange that it would fail like that soon after I upgraded.

And now I'm stuck with a 600$ brick.

Any suggestions are welcome...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
Simply using your i9000m could cause irreparable harm to your internal SD. I strongly suggest everyone stop using it immediately and reactivate your old Startac's. :rolleyes:

And while we're at it, your car could have brake failure so you better stop using that too.

It was going to fail, wether or not your flashed the firmware. It could have failed while sitting on the throne playing angry birds. You got a bumb i9000m.

Did you buy your $600 brick off ebay from some dude? Or did you actually get it from a Bell affiliated store and have a receipt so you can take advantage of your year warranty offered by Samsung? And just for the record, all the information you need is on page 12 of your owners manual.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grashoper:
I was just getting ready to make a post. My sd card crapped out yesterday, after i think around 4 days after flashed to this ROM. I went directly from stock JH2 to JK3, and nothing in between. Almost the exact same thing happened to me. I could still get into download mode, and I could still up any rom I wanted, but it would not get passed the boot animation... after a bit, just blank screen with buttons lit up. The rest of your experience was the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
Man... I am sorry to hear everyone having issues even with the Bell firmware (although unofficial).

This being said... I am on month 3 of owning my i9000m and have been lucky so far with the sd card issue but... I have also never flashed any unofficial firmware and have never applied any lagfix of anykind and although I agree that IF you are one of the unlucky ones who got a bum i9000m that ur sd card would probably crap out at somepoint (even mine could still) I also believe very strongly that anything you do with Odin or applying lagfixes definately speeds up or even causes the issues.

I recommend as an SGS owner / user for 3 months without any issues (except a crappy gps) that everyone just wait until the official version is out on Kies and then IF you upgrade and your sd card dies from the official upgrade then we absolutely BLAST Bell and Samsung for releasing a device that is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

Just my 2 cents... Everyone is welcome to agree or disagree... :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C.Flat:
It happened to me as well, just 5 hours after updating. Luckily I'll be getting a replacement tomorrow from Future Shop

The new phones aren't any better either. When I entered my Phone S/N on the samsung site it said it was manufactured on October 31, it ended crapping out as well. Samsung really has it's head up it's ass on this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Quote from Idan73 in another thread with the same issue.

"mmcblk0p1 = sdcard revived with clockwork today.

as i was testing stock kernel today, idiot (me) cleared cache without wipe (highly customized docs rom.

big NO NO when you change system files lol) in 3e recovery cause i felt clockwork did not clear properly. i was right. it cleared it alright.

booted first time but bunch of force closes. then it died 15 mins later. after reboot stuck at i9000m logo. 3e recover showed cant mount mmcblk0p1.

without the phone for reat of the day. got home few hours ago and remembered a post in forum about formating everything with clockwork. so installed hardcore kernel with odin and went to mount section in clockwork.

tried unmounting one by one and they all throw error including format boot but system, cache, data etc, showed format success. did not format sd or external cause i remembered i have copy of docs rom on the card. so just for added safety cleared dalwik again and flashed old docs v.1 that i had and it BOOTED!"

Always do your research and know the possible risks your taking and if you do this then you know you should have a back up plan or list of things to try before saying that your phone is actually a brick. Leave a rom on your SD card in case of emergency ;p sometimes it just might save you a trip to the bell store as seen in the post I quoted above.

So far I had no issues with this rom on my I9000M, Had it running fine for a week now on JK3 and had Spikes speedy rom on prior to this both have run flawlessly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vibrantbell:
Any chance you could post the steps you used 1 at a time I would like to try what you did?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
thought i did???

or did you mean???

- i was at work (construction)

- then i went to get a coffee

- then as i was drinking coffee decided to kill my phone just for fun

- i succeeded

- then i said *&%&(^$*(&(*&*&%&^* *((&^#$% ...

you wanna kill your phone as well? :D

just kidding a little, but seriously:

im all for helping but you just cant teach basics over and over again.

YOU gotta do some research and reading for that .... as the @Samdroid_G_S that quoted me instructed....my guess is you dont have clockwork flashable rom lying around on your sdcard so its too late now... but you can always try flashing stock with odin (prefferably jh2 as it is full middle package and this seems like upgrade package, we need to get @richtofen to convert it for us, as ive seen people doing pit format with this which is also a NO NO with upgrade package according to baron), after you have formated all one by one with clockwork.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gulmat:
Well my sgs just died on me, been using jk3 (stock) since it got leaked and now it's a black screen past the animation. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Crazydjbrian:
I have installed I9000UGJK3 whit odin but when he reboots. i get erros i have not used a pit ore something else.

Anyony know what is wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Try going into recovery 3e and do a factory reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
To those who are getting the internal sd errors, what are you using to flash JK3? Have you been using Odin or ClockworkMod Recovery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
I used Odin and it messed up. I also had a stock JH2 build with 2e recovery, so I couldnt really try Idans method of using CWM to try and unmount everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gulmat:
Used odin, but i used it before to flash the stock firmware jh2 and never had a prob.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jfcron0:
I used Odin too. No PIT as instructed in the first post.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
This makes me say again as i have said many times before in other threads that our i9000m is NOT exactly the same as the international versions and there is some internals that must be different for our phones to be dying after flashing, etc (yes i know that some phones are dying for no reason as well).

Example... I have seen close up pics of the international version and the sensors on the left top side of the screen are in an "up and down" config. and if u look at ours they sit in a side by side config.

Its quirks like these that make me believe our devices are a bit different from those across the pond.

Any opinions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrCeddy:
Confused.. Are we not talking about Bell phones being flashed by roms stamped for BCM? Is BCM not a Bell network code?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrCeddy:
I agree... 3 months later and I have no issues... currently on GH2 after experiencing issues with JH2. Never flashed an unofficial rom... still have MINOR gps issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
I feel that BMC is the code for bell mobility canada but... Many people think our phone is "unbranded" and identical to the international versions except with something called "NAM" which I have no idea what that is... LOL.

This being said... I dont think it has anything to do with the files and everything to do with the flashing method... ie. Odin...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheChancellor:
So has any of you experienced sd card failure after flashing with ClockworkMod Recovery? It's already believed that Odin plays a part in the corruption of our SD cards when flashing wth it. I'm on the fence about flashing Doc's Bell Froyo ROM, but it seems as though anyone who has flashed anything JK3 based has experienced issues only after flashing with Odin. I would like to know if it's safer to use CWM to flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hellfire4919:
All I know is I have had no real problems with this firmware, where can we get this newest build from November 25th...I want to try it :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
U could have used some sense and realise that as long as you have download mode you can flash froyo and custom recovery so no excuse
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Exactly. So dont know what he means cause flood of corruptions happens now from all the newbies that are flashing maybe first time. I say majority is user error
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spectre85:
The only issues i'm having is the GPS doesn't work....i'd like to try the newest to see if it's actually fixed in that build.....anyone have it yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
I'm sorry I didnt know i had other options. I tried flashing an older rom that had CWM but it just got stuck in a reboot cycle, wouldnt go past the i9000m logo. Wouldnt boot into recovery either.

Perhaps you can suggest a ROM/Custom Recovery that I can try flashing through Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blue163:
Do you get one then two vibrations from the phone if you let it sit a few seconds (maybe 15 seconds)? If so, that is exactly what I experienced with Doc's JK3 based ROM after a couple of days. I was able to get mine back by flashing with JM8 (using 512.pit, PDA only, odin 1.7), and from there i flashed the "official" JK3 and everything has been fine since.

I received some /dev/block/stl10 or stl11 errors when in recovery mode after it was getting stuck on the black screen, but flashing JM8 cured those.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
No vibrations here. Just sits on the black screen with the back and menu buttons lit up
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Nam is north america meaning 850 frequency.

You have to realise this thread is full of peple that are proud they never flashed and are holding out for official kies. Much more than in general i9000 population. Its like kid with g2 going on a highway without supervision now wanting to wait to gather more experience and getting in accident. Then bkaming the car, other drivers, highway. .. Dealership... Everyone but themselves
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Yes flash this rom. Stuck. Flash kernel with recovery built in. Go do your thing. Flash whatever you like and see if it boots.rinse and repeat till it works. Last step change the rom till you get boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lexcyn:
Flashed to this ROM last night, did a factory reset before and after flashing. Works 100% right now, my SD card is going strong ... and I've had this phone since the day it was released here in Canada.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
^Glad to know you got it running properly!

Tried flashing speedmod and ya-ok so far. Doesnt let me go into recovery on either of them...reboot cycle at the i9000m logo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Your saying you can get into download mode but not recovery, kinda odd.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
Yea. If i hold down the vol up and home/power it just keeps rebooting to the logo. Download mode works
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Yea it will do that if you do not let go.......the second time it flashes let go of the buttons...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haripreeth:
Hey even i got the same error i couldn even format but then i tried format my ext sd with galaxy 5 and then insert in i9000 it detected n working fine now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
I did let go of them. No avail :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
I've never flashed, and never rooted this phone.

Hopefully my painful wait will only last a few days longer. Seems like sammy got the M's firmware right and good enough for official release.

Here's a question though, I haven't unlocked my phone as yet, but am planning a trip to europe soon. Will the unlock "keys" obtained from 2.1's SGS Unlock tool work on froyo? Or should I unlock it now beforehand?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedauntlessone:
I've installed DocRom for a few days now with lagfix (no RFS ext4 option) and the phone has been really good. At first the GPS wouldn't work as standalone (can see like 5-7 sats but won't lock in) but MS-based has been locking on fast. I don't care much about tracking so I haven't tried that yet. I only really need it to lock on to give me direction to my destination. Froyo is really smooth that's for sure and I'm very happy with the phone right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Did you flash froyo before flashing kernel? Has to work. Had lost recovery several times and that combination always worked provided you had 3 button mode originally. Not with the help of jh2 fix..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Lol........if he really did that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
@greeced

What do you mean by

"seems like sammys got the "m"s firmware right and good enough for official release"?

There is no official Bell firmware yet. I just checked and nothing.

Do you know something we dont or was this statement just your own opinion of the leaked firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
Not at all, there have been great reviews on Jk3 from what I've read. So based on those reviews, I'm guessing sammy got it right for bell to release it officially soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
Ahhh... Kind of what I thought. Thanks for the clarification.

I sure hope they got / get it right and I hope they sneak it out sooner than mid December as I too am waiting for official version...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
I flashed JK3 before flashing the speedmod kernel. Trying it with other Froyo's now.

When I got the phone it already had JH2 and 3-button. Not sure if it was fixed because of the JH2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
With the activity on the Samsung FUS server and the stability and performance of JK3 it really is looking like it will become the official firmware. I hope it is as it makes the phone everything it's supposed to be.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spectre85:
I downloaded the SGS unlock tool and selected the option to get the key via the rooted method....it worked fine. tested by putting in Rogers sim! you shouldn't have trouble using the rooted method, however i've never tried the non rooted method. This was done for me in 2.1.....haven't tried in 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
That's just it, I've already obtained the unlock code, but haven't implemented it yet. Just wondering if those keys will work after froyo is installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MaelstromXC:
They should. The key should not be based on the firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lexcyn:
Yeah I have been running this FM for over 24h and its awesome compared to JH2. Faster and I love the little 2.2 improvements, especially flash.

So far no dead SD card either but knock on wood lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rojohi:
So how is the GPS for you guys. Mine is not accurate, if I go with just the network towers, my position is dead on, when I add GPS, it moves a couple of blocks.

Anyone have a good app to see how many satelites I am locked on, etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mc9180:
Try GPS Status
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lexcyn:
My GPS has been bang on even before updating to 2.2.

But to get it even more accurate I just went to the service menu and changed a few things ... forget what they were.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedauntlessone:
For some reason, after installing doc's rom my standalone wouldn't work (will see sats but can't lock in for some reason), but with MS based, I get a lock within 30 seconds. Froyo has at least met my expectations and I'm very happy with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
actually i find that network based does not work at all. my gps is dead on but it takes longer to get initial position and it does not remember between reboots. i dont mind as long as it does not skip.

to test: get fancy widget youll see the network based will never get location untill you input manually or use real gps.

right now use Doc BUJP8 v9 with our modem and tower based positioning works as it should.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
I have to say after over a week of using this ROM battery life is amazing.. I'm able to get almost 2 full days out of my phone now with this ROM..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] reedpro:
Oh dear god thank you

After an epic journey of flashing my phone about 900 times, I just wanted to go back to i9000m instead of i9000, on 2.1, but you, sir, have one- upped my hopes
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lar1r:
Finally made the jump to 2.2 via Samsung Kies after following this thread.

Was worried I'd corrupt the ROM so I was waiting for Kies solution.

Using the Kies registry program (searched for it on the forum) - I spoofed that I had BMC (it auto populated the firmware registry to jg9 or something). When I fired up Samsung Kies - it told me I could upgrade to JK3 - I did, and in a few minutes I was on 2.2

***Update - a day later the phone doesnt boot. I was playing a game until the battery ran out. Phone shut down. After recharging the battery - I can get the Samsung bootscreen to load and then it just stops on a black screen and the settings button and back button stay lit. I can get to the recovery/download mode - but will look around for suggestions before flashing again - I hate flashing **
[Galaxy S I9000 General] M4ZE:
I haven't lookd at kies patcbers before but is this simple to do or is there a trick to do what you did?
