patched kies upgrade works at 9am

From Vancouver,

Did a kies patch on Saturday. Kept getting no response from server. Tried it this morning at 9 am and it works.

My phone was pretty much as stock as it came. Got a replacement phone cause my other died. Only installed a few apps. Didn't even clear cache or anything, just did a straight up upgrade and it works. Kept all of my settings, apps, and accounts.

My message history and phone history are still there.

No problems so far after 2 hrs.

kernal version: 2.6.32.9 shout.lee@sep-09#1

Build info: 2010.11 (using SGS tools)

850 band is still there

tested gps inside my building at yaletown and not doing that great.

flash 10.1 works well.

@ xZeDgEx: i would but i dont kno how to take screen shotz lol.. n i did a factory reset after flashing which wipes your data you can do it with out factory reset but you may run into some issues.

mad2x: even after i upgraded my phone through kies to jk3. when i connected my phone to kies to restore my contacts it was still offering me the update (with the registry patch still running) so it is possible to update through kies over already installed jk3 however im not sure if it's going to install properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
mad2x you could always use Odin to flash back to JH2 and then use Kies to upgrade to JK3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
Ok I might have to try that. But now I'm trying to do a factory reset, both on froyo or with the recovery menu. It wont work, my apps and everything stays there even if I do a reset, what's up with that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cctw:
so i managed to successfully upgrade through kies just now..and all my data and apps are still here

is there a reason why I need to boot into recovery and wipe data and cache and then restore the phone?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
Screen shot is in froyo. Hold back and press home.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
well after trying a couple more times to do a factory reset it worked. I'm actually doing the upgrade through kies now right over JK3, it's still downloading, I don't know what it's going to do, but I'm trying anyways. I wish kies would of work the other day, instead of using odin. I did clean and format absolutely everything before trying this upload. I will let you guys know if it did work or not. Anyone knows how long is the warranty from bell on the galaxy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
failed to do update with kies... where can i get the stock eclair 2.1 rom so i can put it back with odin and then use kies to update back to 2.2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
Warranty is the standard 1 year provided by Samsung. Bell is just the intermediary when making warranty claims. Although I just found out through Bell that I could have purchased extended warranty through bell when I first purchased the phone. Too bad no one told me about that when I first bought it. I think that would have been the smartest thing to do with this phone. But alas, hindsight is 20/20.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedd:
Can anyone explain in simple to follow steps how to get 2e recovery on the JK3 "official" ROM?

Is it possible at all at this point?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zombie.raised:
Ya it is a amazing step by step guide it worked the 1st time ..really appreciate the efforts
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bigc_13:
Just used the Kies method and it worked great! Running froyo flawlessly. I had a bit of a scare after flashing with a black screen after boot logo for over 15 min, pulled the battery realized i forgot to wipe the data, did that and now I'm golden.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benchpress:
I have a unbranded, unlocked I9000M, bought here in Canada, and it was running JH2 without a flaw.

I followed your excellent instructions to the letter and upgraded to JK3 via ODIN last night without incidents.

I have two issues though:

1. Unable to get "My Location" working with GPS and/or cellular network. GPS just won't lock on. In Google Maps, I keep getting "Your location is not available temprorarily" despite having checked both GPS and 3G Network location boxes. Does anyone else have the same problem? I tried a bunch of different "cures" as suggested by various forums, but no luck at all.

2. When I connected the SGS to Kies, Kies told me "unable to update this phone." Does that mean Kies will not ever update ROM for this phone because of the "unofficial" flash? Does that mean ODIN is the only means left for ROM upgrade from now on?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
Some ppl say it's the same to flash with kies or odin, but some say it's not. I wonder who is right or wrong and if it would of made a difference for me if I did use kies instead. I hope my sd wont fail while I'm on the road. I'm a truck driver and I'm worried now it will just die on me and I wont have access to a phone. It works good beside fcing once in a while and also those shortcuts to apps installed on the sd that keeps disappearing on my wall.

Is the rom from the link on here (I9000UGJK3.tar) exactly the same as the one you get with kies right now? If it's the same, how could it make a difference?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
Kies seems to work now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scouzer:

That should sum it up for you...

Well no it does not... It says:

Mine is the GT-I9000M...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aslan_slipknot:
i would but my phone died :( Corrupted sd card. Honestly this is bull**** samsung should pay for this. first the gps and now the sd cards failing... now im screwed since i dont have a account with bell so i dont kno wat to do. i had the phone since the first week that it came out and i had flashed it with odin many times.. but as soon as upgraded to froyo using kies the sd card got corrupted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
I guess that it proves that kies isn't necessarily safer than odin then.....

Anyone knows if theres a way to not install apps on the sd in froyo? Just on the phone memory like 2.1....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
Damn this is nuts.. I stand by what I said. The update is being held back on purpose cause they know there will be a **** ton of new dead Sgs. What a complete and utter fail the Bell Vibrant is. If mine dies again Im going ape ****.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scouzer:
I just updated to 2.2 about 2 hours ago...guess what. My phone is toast. I used Kies.

It just cycles the Samsung Galaxy S over and over very quickly. I can't even access the recovery screen.

This is my fourth ****ing SGS. I'll be going on my fifth. F.M.L!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
Jesus... I would try to get another phone altogether if you can. Screw Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scouzer:
It's going in for repair and then it's going on eBay. Someone else can deal with this piece of ****.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
i toosted my first phone 2 weeks ago the had pay 300 dallars to get another. last night i installed 2.2 with kies and all is well so far. hope another phone is not going to go because no warranty. should have bought htc. anyway as of now 2.2 works really well seems stable. i got 963 out of quadrant and put lag fix in and now have 1780.

with 2.1 and lagfix i had 2100. 2.2 seems smoother though s far really like it thank you for showing me how to download this through kies took a couple of tries but when it went it all worked well. i did not do a wipe or reset because all works great afraid to touch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
it does install to "memory" on both 2.1 and 2.2

what they call "Application Memory" space is really the 2 GB partition in the 16 GB internal SD

so the real solution is to make the phone install to EXTERNAL SD and skip internal SD all together

and perhaps allocate the 2 GB partition to an External SD
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dusante:
My 2.1 phone wouldn't get past the startup logo today (out of randomness). So I did a factory reset and now it works (really well)

Previously I did OCLF and rooted the phone and I'm surprised to see I think those settings are still in place, and my music is still on the phone.

Is factory reset and cache wipe the only thing I can do to clean the phone before I might try this upgrade?

I figure my phone is all wiped, might as well try froyo if the thing is already reset properly.

I just have to get windows 7 bootcamped on my mac to get kies methinks.

edit: Should I delete the update.zip? I think that's the one I used to root my phone, I'm not sure if factory wipe gets rid of that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
AllGamer, would you happend to know why only the icons (shortcuts) from games that install to the SD keeps disapearing on my desktop everytime I reboot since I'm on Froyo 2.2 JK3? tks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
use app 2 sd it tells you which apps/games are safe to install to SD

apps or games that does not support to be run from SD will always lose their icons / shortcuts
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benchpress:
Allgamer

I have a unbranded, unlocked I9000M, bought here in Canada, and it was running JH2 without a flaw.

I followed your excellent instructions to the letter and upgraded to JK3 via ODIN last night without incidents.

I have two issues though:

1. Unable to get "My Location" working with GPS and/or cellular network. GPS just won't lock on. In Google Maps, I keep getting "Your location is not available temprorarily" despite having checked both GPS and 3G Network location boxes. Does anyone else have the same problem?

2. When I connected the SGS to Kies, Kies told me "unable to update this phone." Does that mean Kies will not ever update ROM for this phone because of the "unofficial" flash? Does that mean ODIN is the only means left for ROM upgrade from now on?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
Thanks AllGamer, I have used app 2 sd to move my apps back into phone. I dont know why they install on the sd, but anyways it did fix my problem of icons desapearing. I would also like to know the answer to benchpress second question. tks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coconutboy84:
hey guys, im running bell's stock firmware right now, ive tried about 3 different roms, and they all flash fine, except the cell radio never works. it doesnt install the baseband for some reason, so everything works except the radio. what am i doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
my phone has been running flawlessly on jk3. i went into kies and it now says jk4 is now ready to install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
wow!!!!!! really?

i'm gonna have to try that when i get some free time
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vancouver_hawk:
same here jk4 is ready :)))))))))))))))))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
2) KIES will always say that, but no need to worry, even if you are on a BETA firmware you can always upgrade to an official firmware when it becomes available, and the message will change to something along the line of "there is a new update for your phone"

1) I've had that message every now and then back on JH2, it's random, probably the towers you are nearby does not have the ability to provide network location.

Try again when you go to another area of the city.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
just wanted to thank you for doing this your directions where perfect it made it easy. i was afraid to do it because i bricked a phone a week ago and bought this one used. just sent a donation under bruce jones
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
Very confused here. I thought Samsung hasn't released Froyo for Bell yet? How come people can download it from Kies?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
because it is not released yet, if you read through page 1 carefully, you'll have noticed it needs a patch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] timmacnaughton:
Upgraded my Bell i9000M to JK3 using Odin and everything worked perfectly. The only problem is my recovery image was upgraded to 3e and now I can't flash the Clockwork Recovery image. From what I understand, you need to be on Android Recovery 2e for the custom Clockwork Recovery image to work properly. Has anyone figured out how to downgrade from Android Recovery 3e to 2e? TIA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benchpress:
Thanks, Allgamer. That is a relief to hear because Kies says "This device's version cannot be updated." and that sounds rather threatening. I definitely do not see JK4 being offered via Kies when I connect my SGS to it.

Regarding "my location" and GPS problem, JH2 used to work flawlessly and now no matter where I go, "my location" is just not available any more. Any idea if a factory reset will improve the situation?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
That is precisely why I am confused. If Samsung has not released it yet, then how come it is available for download through Kies? Even with a registry patch, how is the Bell Froyo available for download?

I'm guessing that it is really a firmware for another provider that people are adapting for their I9000M.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
No, its sitting on the Kies server. Just hidden from view. The registry hack just allows you to see it. Its a Bell firmware as it has the Bell model and apps included in it. Its not too difficult to understand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
download jk4 from kies works great but cannt use market to get z4root any sugestions
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vancouver_hawk:
jk4 works perfectly running 12 hours already, battery is superb compare to jh2. The only problem I have is that I'm unable to root with z4root it just goes black and than force closes :(... Anyone was able to root it yet???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vancouver_hawk:
download it from development section :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Draiter:
Hey all. I've noticed that this use 3e recovery, and you cannot run clockwork on it... any way to get clockwork working on 3e or is there a way to go back to 2e?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Draiter:
z4root doesn't work on JK4... at least not on my phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benchpress:
I upgraded to JK3 using ODIN two days, and tried KIES (with registry patch) this evening and upgraded to JK4 just now. It was quite slick. Many thanks to Allgamer for excellent instructions.

So far, so good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

However, "My location" is still not working...... GPS is still not locking on..... sigh.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
No, because it's only for this model, the first page explains why ... hint BMC
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
if you are having trouble with market, the alternative is to download it from the topic

Likewise here. It worked on JK3 but not JK4. It offers me the "Force Unroot" option but that does not work either.

i tried to root through int drive with apk file and got z4root in phone but it didnt root the phone. really like jk4 it works well but would like lag fix. maybe later
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] masontan:
WOOT!!

sweet it totally works :D i'm on froyo 2.2 and its awesome!! Thanks a lot for the simple perfect instructions!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sleepy1212:
+1 For good instructions.

Flashed using odin. Everything's going fine so far (knock on wood). Hopefully it isn't defective or if it dies it dies soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealcityboy:
when i first flashed through kies to get JH2,the 3 button recovery/download fix was not available. later users who flashed to JH2 had the 3 button recovery/download fix with their update.

my question is with jk4,will it finally give me the ability to use the 3 button recovery/download?

if not,is there a way with the registry hack to reflash to JH2 so i can have the fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Possibly JK4 is pre-rooted already? From what I'm reading it sounds like it would be considering there are dev apps on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
had trouble with phone on jk4 it started to vibrate and stop working so i erased everything off the external sim did a wipe and reset installed jk4 again did another wipe and reset and now works great. i took everything off of both drives that didn't need to be there before installing firmware.

second day phone is working great and never have had battery last this long after using all day was at 64% when went to bed at 10pm

there is no lag ive installed songs and movies on ex drive. they all work well. my son has a i4 and when this is working like it is right now i wouldn't trade him. thank you allgamer for this thread for i9000m it really helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xgumbyx:
Just wanted to post a note saying thanks to the OP for the instructions. At first I'd get to the download screen on the phone and then KIES would just time out. I then tried Odin and had a similar issue of nothing happening after the phone went into download mode. I factory reset the phone and still had the same problem. I then pulled the phone's battery and put it back in and started directly in download mode and Odin worked and I flashed JK3, finished, rebooted phone, all good. I then setup KIES again, did the regedit etc, KEIS recognized that I had an update (JK4) and away she went getting to the download screen again but this time it actually downloaded. Rebooted, deleted cache etc, and now I am up with Froyo 2.2 (JK4).

One thing I want to let others know is that ssl for exchange accounts seems to be at least partially broken with some certificates. I have two exchange accounts, one exchange 2003 without ssl and one 2010 with ssl. The exchange 2003 account was a breeze to set up, I'm still working on the 2010 with ssl but it appears to be a bug :( Just an FYI to those who rely on exchange.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
Yes you can use the same instruction to flash JH2

set your registry to JG9 when you use the Registry patcher, after you select BMC

and set the Registry patcher to NOT test mode, so it only gives you the official ROM release of JH2
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealcityboy:
to late! i used this method to get my 3 button recovery to work!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821698

not important since i fixed it for myself but when i select bmc it's by default on jg9 on "spoof software revision as"

and in the advanced 2 tab "enable local test" is set to false yet it still gives me jk4 in kies .

unless i misunderstood what you where trying to tell me...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lordcalin:
any word yet on rooting JK4? z4root crashes, and it's not because it's already rooted since no apps requiring root will start.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D.C1986:
Sorry, But i am lost. Where is the option for not choosing the Test Mode ?? I don't see that on the registry patcher.

Second, I dont have the 3 combo mode working. But can I still upgrade from JG9 to JK4 ? (As kie is asking me whether I want to upgrade to it or not.)

From I understand it is best for me to upgrade to JH2 with the Combo fix first. then upgrade to JK4 right ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Trembelwick:

Well now I've gone and done a stupid move by following the instructions, casually ignoring that is for the Bell I9000M, and I have the international I9000

I'm on FroYo now but have no cell service! Does anyone have a link to a tar package that will fix this with Odin?

OP, you might need to add a BIG disclaimer at the beginning that this doesn't work for the international unlocked I9000 SGS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Should still work fine on international. Possibly just use Odin to flash a international modem. Or you could Just check your APN settings its most likely blank you would have to find out what your providers APN address is and re-enter it.

Another option for you would be to use ODIN and Flash one of Hardcores kernals found herehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

For detailed instructions on how to do that you can find that here http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html

Once you have that Kernal installed all you have to do is download one of Doc's Rom's or a rom of your choice and then install that through recovery.

You can find Doc's roms here with instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817703

The reason you need to install Hardcores speed mode kernel first is because the kernel included with JK3 , JK4 includes recovery 3e and not 2e. You can not install roms through 3e recovery you need ClockworkMod Recovery witch is included in hardcore's kernel and you can only install Clockworkmod Recovery through 2e recovery.

Does anyone else find that Swype in JK4 has a lot more useless crap "words" than in JH2?

Need lagfix?

Hi,on this ROM you need to have installed a lagfix? or the partition is in other format and our SGS run smoothely.Srry for my bad english.

Thx a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
it runs really smooth with out any lag fix

no need to install lag fix with JK3 / JK4
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zorxd:
Yeah, but you also said that for JH2, don't you?

I must admit that I don't "feel" the lag myself but it can be clearly seen in benchmarks so it is real.

What is your quadrant score with stock JK3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
JH2 runs very good, as long as you don't try to install 3+ apps at the same time via market

that is the only time it lags on JH2

on JK3, they removed that lag completely, i set all the apps to auto update/install, and they can all go 5, 10, or more installing simultaneously without lagging the phone

i mentioned that back on page 1
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jamit018:
I have upgraded to JK4, but I found that the calendar stopped unexpectedly (force close). And images in gallery can not be deleted. Those images/ pics are from my photo collection. I don't know how and why they are in the gallery as indexes. But actually, these imaes are not copied or transferred by me.

Overall, all other functions are alot more smoother and stable.

Back down to JK3.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nex1685:
this rom runs so smooth and fast you really donnt need a lag fix. i am so happy with this i donnt really need anything else. this is Bells rom if you want a lag fix get docs rom that you can root and lagfix.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benchpress:
I concur. Other than these quirks, JK4 is quite stable and smooth. However, there seems to be a "native" lag with the Yahoo app. It is just atrociously laggy and unresponsive, just like it was in 2.1.
