Hi everyone. Installed and seems to be running great. Except swype keeps crashing i have had to switch to keyboard mode cause it was constantly looping the force close and slowing down my phone dramtically. Anyone else have this problem? your response is appreciated! Other than that the rom is awesome!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Try a factory reset.

Odd , Just checked my phone about 30 min ago or so . I setup a new theme last night and installed the new LP launcher. Lp Launcher kept on force closing on me today. So I uninstalled it, reinstalled it then the FC's stopped for that but then I started getting them from my email app as well as XDA app....... Tryed clearing the cache ext did nothing, then I noticed I lost all my installed widgets, could not see any of my installed widgets that I have got from the market in touchwiz or LP. So I had OCLF installed so I undid the lag fix because I was going to do a factory reset but once the lagfix was uninstalled , everything came back and my FC's were gone , SO I reapplied the lag fix once again and all is well again. Maybe should just try to Lagfix repair next time lol.

Anyway just something I thought I would share in case you have a lagfix and are getting alot of FC's this seems to have fixed the problem for me.

Bell I9000M Froyo 2.2 Update

Work fantastic, froyo 2.2 :)

Galaxy S

Bell Mobility

(Montréal, Québec)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
I'm curious of this as well, I did notice on samsungfirmwares.com that they do have JK3 posted there now, but is that this rom or the official Rom or is this the official rom ;p.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Orillian:
I'm running on Doc's 1.2 and today I ran the patcher on Kies just for fun with BMC and sure enough I'm getting an update to jk3 notice as well! Only issue is I'm getting the no response from server error. So I can't seem to run the update yet.

O.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Just tried it too, getting no response from server also. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
Question... IF this is official then why must we use the patcher especially us Canadians on the Bell Network?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Not sure. The patcher spoofs this version: I9000UGJG9/I9000BMCJG9/I9000UGJG9/I9000UGJG9

And lets you upgrade to JK3, but it wont connect, maybe they are blocking Canadian ips?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
Ok... That makes me want to ask another question...

Why is it spoofing 2 firmwares back? I am on stock JH2 which is the latest stock firmware.

Does this mean we will have to downgrade back to JG9 before we can upgrade to froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
It's not official until it's available through a non-patched Kies. But, the firmware is sitting on the server. Once Bell gives Samsung the go ahead they will 'flip the switch' and enable the download. The patcher is basically 'flipping the switch' before Samsung officially does.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
Ok, so with that being said... Is it safe to assume that if this firmware is sitting on the server waiting for the "switch to be thrown" that this is a safe firmware to flash and most likely will become the "official" version for us Canucks?

Ive always been weary about flashing through Odin, etc but... I had to do a registry trick back in September to download the fix for my non-working 3 button issue and I have been running strong ever since so I wouild be ok with flashing this through Kies...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] votoms888:
It says it won't connect to server. How can I get it to connect?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
I'm not sure if there's a 100% chance of it becoming official. I'd say it's highly likely though. I'm guessing since it hasn't officially started rolling out theres a chance it could be pulled if some problems are found.

It looks like it's on the server ready to roll so if Bell seems happy with it, it could roll out at any time.

I've been running it for a week now and totally loving it! It's been fast and stable for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yiannisthegreek:
@dm-digital,

I have sent you a pm asking a question as I do not want to fill the thread with my noob questions. I hope you dont mind and if you could reply I would greatly appreciate it...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hol17:
Still no response from the server; I wonder when we can upgrade through this method.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grashoper:
I just tried it it connected no problem, but no updates available..

<untouched stock JH2>
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
I wonder if we change the Kies update server in the Kies patcher software will that do anything?

Currently

http://fus.samsungmobile.com/

Its also interesting to note that they are not offering JH2, its offering Froyo, not the other 2.1 update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hol17:
I meant through the Kies patcher to spoof BMC and upgrade to JK3.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I'm getting the same message

even though it shows JK3 to be available :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grashoper:
I'm not sure... there's other threads here discussing hacked registries to get updates.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cloudrainstar:
I believe the file from http://fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_...00BMCJK4_I9000UGJK4_I9000UGJK4_UG_BMC.zip.enc was removed from FUS, that's why you can't get it via patched kies with the registry patcher...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
That was the file named as JK4, the JK3 file is still downloadable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
strange not on mine.. kries updated software to latest version the other day. but when i connect it still says i have the latest s/w avail. jh2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mad Medik:
Another no response from server here. :[

I9000M on Bell mobility

Kies Patcher applied.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lar1r:
Looks like I jumped the gun.

***Update - a day later after I upgraded to 2.2 using the keys patch, 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] Samdroid_G_S:
go into 3e recovery and try factory reseting.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lar1r:
Factory reset didn't work - tried that first.

Searching for the ODIN solution - fun stuff...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kiwicrank:
I just went to the site and typed in

fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_Binary/9/GT-I9000M_I9000UGJH2_I9000BMCJH2_I9000UGJH2_I9000UGJH2_UG_BMC.zip.enc...... now I'm downloading something ....I'm guessing the JH2 Version. I have 2.2 from that site using the reg hack method. I was thinking of downgrading and updating when Bell releases the "official release". If this is 2.1 that I'm downing I wonder if I could hack by registry to dowgrarde to this using Kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Its likely dead, another one bites the dust.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
hey guys i've created a Guide, for people that were hesitant to upgrade before

[GUIDE] Step by Step ROM Firmware Upgrade & Migration to Froyo 2.2 [JK3] Bell I9000M

during the whole process i was rather bored, waiting for the backups, the downloads, the restore, etc, etc...

so i took the time to snatch some screen shot and threw in together a full guide with all the needs to know for any newbie to this process

KIES method worked after a while, i had to keep retrying over and over again

I guess it was just busy, with all the thousand of people trying to get the ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Kies killed it no way! I thought ODIN and CWM only killed sd's!

Joking but this just goes to prove that its not odin, CWM or the roms fault , its a faulty phone to begin with. Flashing just stresses the SD card and shows there's a problem sooner.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Yea, I think its a big reason why Bell is holding back the update.. They want to stock up on Vibrants and clear some of the repair back log. There is going to be a **** load of dead Galaxy S phones when this update goes live.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
How many times did you retry? Still can't get it.. :mad:

*edit

Just used your guide and updated with ODIN. Awesome work there, even a newb like me was able to follow it. Phone is rebooting right now.

*2nd edit

Complete, I am on Froyo. Do you have to do a factory reset and cache wipe?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Personally I would do a factory reset after flashing just to iron out any possible conflicts. I was getting some fc's when I first flashed for example , factory resetting fixed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Sounds good, thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cloudrainstar:
This is the data received from FUS using the Kies checker PHP script with the packet sent by Kies after the Kies patcher. You'll see that the "displayed version" will be JK3, but FUS points to the "JK4" file.

That was the name of the file that was downloaded showed JP4 but once it was decrypted it was JK3 inside. It looks just to be a typo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
Could we have that decrypted file anyways
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
So far I like Froyo..

However, the browser is not as fast and smooth as it was, even with flash off (plug ins on demand). Its very jerky scrolling now. Disappointed in that. Also GPS still sucks.. will not lock.:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
There is no Differences between the one that is dated later and the one that was decrypted on the 1st page... its the same....once decrypted they are both dated as the 19th here is the one that was uploaded a week ago. you can decrypt it your self.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VKRC4IU4 Decoder key to unlock file is. 834609
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
I seem to be dropping about 1% battery every 10 min.. this does not seem normal.. Hows others experience with battery life on JK3?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
I requested 25/11 cause bell is known judging by jh2 to release improvements while keeping the version same. And the one from last wk was not fully ready for release imo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lexcyn:
@xZeDgEx I would check your cell standby time ... if it is at 50% that is why. You have to turn airplane mode on then off and that should resolve the issue.

I find that is the most annoying bug in Samsung's firmware ... not sure why it hasn't been fixed. It mostly happens randomly after a reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Moosterly:
Factory reset fixed my swype issue and some other crash errors. Thanks! Almost everything is running great. Except I can't seem to get a GPS lock on with this one. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Yep, my gps actually seems worse...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
Mine is at 20% after 43 hrs of use.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Moosterly:
Sounds like something that still needs to be ironed out. I was prevoiusly running 2.2 froyo a 2010.07 test build which didn't allow me to use 3g and was always only stuck on EDGE. But it had great GPS lock-on. lol almost feels like i did a tradeoff for the 3g
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xedd:
Yes, flashed to JK3 last night... Testing with GPS Test application and it is not locking onto any satellites inside my house, and too cold to go outside.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
It's weird how some people get different results flashing the same firmware. For people who are having issues, I would say there is some sort of hardware issue on their device or something to do with flashing/factory reset.

I've been using JK3 since it was first leaked and found it to be stable and faster than JH2 was. I have increased battery life (getting around 1.5-2% per hour average use), GPS performance is better and no lag. Even with it containing Bell's software and using RFS it is fantastic!

Ever since I've been using Android I've been flashing my devices. No matter what the device and what firmware I was running it's always gone smooth and everything worked as expected, even when others were experiencing various issues.

Now, any time I flash I always do the same procedure. Full wipe, factory reset, flash, factory reset. That way I'm starting completely fresh with nothing from the previous install. I've done that even flashing the same version of Android. Of course going from 2.1 to 2.2 you definitely want to make sure there is nothing left behind from the previous install. I also reinstall all my apps from market rather than restoring them. I only backup and restore apps when on the same firmware. It's a bit more work but has practically eliminated the various issues others seem to have.

When you have the same device and same firmware, you shouldn't have different results.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
As bad as the GPS is, it's not fair to say it isn't working while indoors. It DOES need a view of the sky.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xedd:
It was working *before* indoors so yes, it is fair to say... Not like I suddenly went outside and strapped down aluminum reflectors to the roof of my house last night.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
For people that are having GPS issues with JK3 I doubt it's the firmware. If it was, my GPS would be working worse than before as well. I have no problem getting lock on the top floor and it sees 90-100% of the satellites. On the main floor it still works and locks on 50-80% of the satellites. That is better than what JH2 was capable of. The GPS still isn't as good as some other devices but definitely usable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
Anytime you flash a new fw... you should go into gps settings, set to cold start, clear all gps data, go outdoors, run gps test to get good lock and data, then go back in to gps settings and change back to your previous favorite settings and it should work as previous.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] grokon:
+1

Same procedure for me and got no issue either
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Croak:
Happens a lot with other devices...it's an Android issue, not a Galaxy S issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Checked that, it was mostly display that was using battery. I did notice the default wifi policy for sleep was never. Changed this back to off when screen locked as it was before. We'll see if that makes a difference. i did not use the phone a whole lot today, took it off the charger at 6:30 this morning, its 43% at 5 pm. Its definitely not as good as it was before.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
I'm at 71% after 11 hours and that's with an hour of Angry Birds.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Must be nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nirvana388:
By full wipe do you mean the clear cache option in the recovery menu? Or the reset data in the settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
Yeah, wipe cache and data/factory reset. You don't want to leave anything generated from the previous install.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
This is the GPS performance I'm getting with JK3. I was on the main floor of my 2 story home.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fnakfhe:
FC with fring then with SMS messenger.

Yesterday fring was FC on every launch, so i uninstall fring and re install fring and its fine now.

but today, i am FC with the Text messaging that comes with the i9000m.

i dont get it. when i was on the latest 2.1 it was stable and now when i flashed to 2.2 its not as solid.

i did fully reset and wipe and clean everything on 2.1 before i flashed,

and after the flash i did a full reset and wipe and even flashed again with reset again a wipe again.

i dont think its a bad install,

right now im saying its a crappy FW and full of some bugs.

how can we go back to the 2.1 that bell had on the phone. any help please, i dont wanna muck with 2.2 untill bell gets it together and rolls out the update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
try clearing the messenger data. settings/applications/applications management then select all at the top and find messenger in that list.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] programatix:
Hi,

I'm new in Galaxy S forum (and to Android) and is hoping someone could help me out with this.

I've just updated to this firmware and is facing the following issues:

Everytime the phone goes to Roaming mode, and then returns to my provider, the phone would not reconnect to data connection. I'll have to reset the phone to get it back. I tried enabling flight mode, delete/re-add APN but to no use.

Previously besides being able to add Widget, I can also add Samsung Widgets. Now Samsung Widgets are missing. Any idea on how to get them back?

The Samsung App now lists only a few software. Previously there are 2 pages of software.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] urself25:
This ROM is specific to the I9000M (Bell Canada) Galaxy S model which is somewaht different to the internaltional version i9000. You should flash another ROM specific to the i9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
This means absolutely nothing. You can get a 5 second fix in your basement and yet sometimes get an imprecise GPS outside with a clear sky.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
It does mean something when some are saying they can't even get a lock after upgrading to JK3.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrCeddy:
Exactly... Plus if your house is in the middle of an open field (in rural area) with floor to ceiling glass windows one would expect better GPS reception than an all brick duplex deep in the city surrounded by 40 floor apartment buildings.

This comparison is not valid as all the variables have not been accounted for.

Physical Location

GPS Settings

Software / Firmware

and Hardware chip revisions make or break GPS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Yes but:

1. We don't know if you didn't go outside 5 minutes your "inside lock". It's much easier to get a second lock than a first one.

2. We don't know if your coordinates are any good.

3. We don't know how long it took you to get a fix

4. Your screen shot doesn't say anything about "performance". To me performance of a GPS is measured by precision and a reasonable (less than 30 seconds) lock time. I don't care if you get a 1 second lock time in your basement if your precision is not always right. By the way the accuracy displayed in GPS test can't be trusted with the Galaxy S. It have been proven wrong many times.

You could have said that you are able to get a GPS fix, even inside, with JK3. But your screen shot means nothing and we don't know how GPS performance is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
I can speak from actually using my gps in the car. It was jumping all over and would drop signal every few minutes. That's a real test, not how fast you lock sitting in your house. The gps is terrible, even with froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mad2x:
I have yet to try the gps with froyo, i will do so today, but I know that with 2.1 eclair it worked fantastic in the car while driving and everything. I thinks some phones probably have faulty gps receivers....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dm-digital:
Wow, I guess I'm a lucky one then when it comes to GPS. Typically I don't use it for navigation but during the times that I have it's been comparable to the HTC Dream, and I was happy with it's GPS.

I haven't noticed a big difference between JH2 and JK3 as navigation worked well with JH2 but JH2 didn't get a fix on as many satellites. The GPS worked but would only get a fix on 50-60% of the satellites. On JK3 it usually gets a fix on all the satellites, and that's what my screenshot was showing. Plus it get's a lock quicker than JH2 did.

Nobody has to believe me about the GPS performance but I'm happy with it, especially now that I'm running JK3. The performance isn't as good as a fairly recent stand alone GPS unit but typical of what I would expect from a phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Idan73:
@TriC_101

do you have access to decrypt key for this?

I don't but I will check with a few people..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
Did you do a factory reset after you installed the ROM if you came from 2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed116:
no i didnt , and i think i fked up my phone, i tried to downgrade to 2.1 after upgrading to 2.2 and now it installed it once it boots up, it gets stuck on a black screen, the buttons light up but nothing happens :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed116:
i get this error where its like CANT MOUNT SD CARD
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Is this official Bell firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vibrantbell:
Not a good error, I had that error and the internal SD was nuked, you can still get the phone working again but just the phone the app market wont work because it wont save to the external sd card only the internal. If you cant get it going take it to bell right away with your receipt and and get it swapped out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed116:
i dont have the receipt :( im so screwedd :(

im stuck on Android System Recover <2e>

just tried to downgrade to stock 2.1 eclair wiht Pit and \I9000UGJH2 and this pit file s1_odin_20100513.pit :( plz help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vibrantbell:
Let me know your option:

option 1: did you buy it off ebay or Kijiji and have a bell number assigned to it ?

option 2: did you buy it from bell on the 3 year plan (they are not selling them out right yet )

Just let me know your option and we can go from there.

P.S. you wont get in trouble if you bought it off ebay or something but I need to know so I can direct you in the best possible way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Try flashing Jk3 again see if that gets you anywhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AvatarReborn:
I must be one of the lucky ones with no issues at this time. I'm pleased with the rom and find it to be a step up from jh2!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pr0cs:
Worked great, Using Darky's ROM I lost 850, while the phone was still usable there were a lot more 'dead zones' in my area.

Used Odin to patch just this modem.bin and went through the band selection menu and I have 850 back finally. This will hopefully improve battery life as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tony604:
If you're in the Vancouver area, I can give you the number for a shop that can fix your problem for $65+tax if you can't claim warranty. Had them fix mine. Better than having a $500 brick you can't do anything with. I'm now running Docs 7.6.2 for about a week without issue.

Think I'll wait for an official release until I flash anything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lotacus:
Sweet. Enough of these broken roms. I'm staying with this and just going to try and modify it myself.

Thinking root? I think just a rooted kernel should be good enough. This kernel version is 2.6.32.9. Need to try and get clockwork universal lagfix edition installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vibrantbell:
for all the new people keep in mind this is for the UGJK3 build . Personal opinion dont use it on anything but...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed116:
guys i tried to reflash to GJK3 or w.e and i get hte start up screen where it shows GT-i9000M it turns on and off on and off on and off keeps repeating that :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Red John:
Hmm I'm kinda scared to flash this. I do like the idea of 850 mhz working since it's about a million miles to Telus' nearerst 1900 site.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed116:
can you pm me the number ? my cuzin goes alot to vancoover for vacation maybe he can fix it for me
