Forget your plan. Flash to JL2. Install whatever custom ROMs/kernels/doo-hickies you want. Don't like them and want to get back to JH2? Samdroid_G_S described for you TWO times how to get back to JH2. Do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] windraker:
He did and that's great but I DON'T want to use a dam SBL or BOOT binaries in my flashes. So I'm asking if it's safe to remove them from current rom's like JL2 and will winrar/7zip work the same way. If it's safe then I can just remove them from any/all future updates right?

Thanks.

Does anyone have a patch to Stock AOSP Lockscreen for JL2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
I got it running on my custom ROM. I'll get it uploaded as soon as I have some time, but it'll only work on de-odexed ROMs. (I can't re-odex it as I'm running a de-odexed ROM.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aleks07:
Thanks. So, will it work on stock JL2 with Speedmod kernel? I have a circle battery running and it seams to be fine without de-odexed custom ROM...

Flashed JL2 with Odin, Odin reports success, but Download Mode stuck at 100%

I followed the instructions with Odin and JL2 on my phone (a Bell "Vibrant" GT-i9000M, had it for a few months, it hasn't died yet :() and Odin reported success, but my phone seems to be stuck at 100% on the "Downloading..." screen.

I've never used download mode to flash before (CWM last time) so I don't know if this is normal. Is it?

Thanks!

hey guys,

i did the update on the first post using the odin path.

after reading a bit i wanted to know how to do a "safe rollback" using kies in the event i want kies to update my phone via bell official releases?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
once completed, it is safe to unplug the USB and reboot the phone

in the worse case scenario you can always boot into Download Mode again, then reflash
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
yes, using the registry hack, you can set it back to stock flash via Kies
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] acruise:
Thanks, but my problem was that I had no idea whether it was completed. It appeared to be stuck at 100%. :)

Anyway, I just waited ten more minutes, unplugged and rebooted, and it's fine. :)

Will the first post for 2.2 upgrade work with: PDA: JM2/JM1/JM2

Hi there,

Would the guide, at the start of this thread for flashing the phone to 2.2, work for my SGS? It has an old firmware and stuff on it, and

Voodoo lag fix

from the old beta for Eclair 2.1. I would flash it using Odin.

( from *#1234# )

PDA: I9000XWJM2

PHONE: I9000XXJM1

CSC: I9000OXXJM2

2e boot loader (with 3 button combos working for Download and Recovery)

Had anyone done this?

I don't care whether I loose any of my data or applications during the process.

Cheers, Pete
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] boysanjose:
Hello Brother. After upgrade "successful" and how long can be boot back to the normal?. Right now my phone samsung Vibrant stiil running but the screen it showing Black? I can hear some sound phone running, but how long will back to the normal?? Thank you.

Kennedy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
yes it will work

just make sure you undo the voodoo lag fix before you flash it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
after it is successful

turn off the phone

the reboot the phone

and it should boot all the way into the OS
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pete91:
By the way Allgamer,

i) Will the flashing remove the 2e bootloader afterwards (I quite like the ability to use unsigned files)

ii) when you say undo, do you mean disable the Voodoo fix, or replace the Voodoo kernel with the Samsung 2.1 kernel?

Cheers, Peter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
I know the question was directed at Allgamer but I'll answer anyway since it was asked yesterday.

i) Yes flashing JL2 will remove 2e recovery. You can easily get it back by flashing a custom Kernel.

ii) Just disable the lagfix (convert back to RFS) do not worry about changing the Kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edgarpoe:
Thank's so much for the post you're a lifesaver!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pete91:
Cheers for the reply. Thanks.

I have the update.zip that changed my 2e hardware locked bootloader into the 2e unlocked bootloader. I would think that I could run this after I have upgraded to 2.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pete91:
How funny:

I just read the title again, and realised that this is an upgrade for the US Bell I9000M. Mine is the European version. I had better use a different image.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gw0:
Seems like nobody mentioned it, but flashing can also be done with Heimdal that supports all OSes. (Note: Dump option can soft brick your device, so just use it for flashing.)

hi i tried it and its not working??!?!?! now my phone just stays on the galaxy s screen :( i did everything right jjust dno why its not turning on .. :((
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raheelc:
great guide thanks!!

I'm currently running JL2, and everything is working perfecty fine (phone has been rooted and is also running Ryanza's OCLF 2.0) for the past 24 hours...

the question i have is, do i need to be worried about the internal sd card failing on me anytime soon? As of now, the phone is working perfectly.

Also, If it does happen to fail, what options do i have to fix it? Sending it to Samsung or Bell to have it fixed isnt an option (I'm using the phone in another country)

Can not upgrade my galaxy S using Kies

Dear All,

I have just buy Galaxy S , and i am new folk in android, My phone version is

PDA I9000JPJF4

Phone I9000XXJM3

CSC I9000XEJM1

Kies says my phone can not be upgraded. Can any on please help me out ,i want froyo 2.2 on my phone. Also i want to know if i use the ODin method will it void my warranty? Does it need rooting the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
which model of the phone did you get?

international i9000 or bell i9000m ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
hey guys,

Helping my pal out here who had a funky i9000m with JL2 that would boot to the captivate screen with the scrolling "S", however, it would go no further than that. I re-flashed his phone using ODIN to JL2 and now the phone won't move past the i9000m black and white screen. will show this for 1-2 seconds, and then re-cycle and show again.. over and over. I can still get the phone into download mode.

Is the internal SD toasted as AllGamer mentioned a few pages back? or can I further try to reflash this with JL2 again or a previous version?

thanks in advance.

Eric
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
you can try to flash it back to JH2 which for some it was able to recover the damage

Doc's ROM is also good for that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
thanks for the reply as always AllGamer. Do I just re-flash with the stock JH2? I was under the assumption that it needed the .sbl file included? If so where can I find that rom?

Also I can't seem to find a guide on here for going backwards.. I like the step by step approach. Do I need to select a PIT for this?

Sorry if this is a repeat question. thanks!

Eric
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
ok found a guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=796015

looks like this is the method?

i downloaded I9000UGJH2 FROM

CLICKED START AND IT DID EVERYTHING ELSE

Let me know if this looks right going back from JL2. thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ekinskofer:
So I just tried the above method with no luck. I get the cycling i9000 black and white boot screen? Is this phone done?

also I tried going back to low-level to no avail, tried flashing JPU and then finally got the recovery screen, however, had the E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 error.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] whatid:
problem with JL2?

OK I admit I am a newbie, since I just received my Bell I9000M last night.

The phone already come stock with JL2 FW.

I notice whenever I inserted a ext SD card (1GB for testing. Tested OK on HTC and PC), my phone will fail to see BOTH internal and external SD.

However upon remove the external SD with phone is still on, it does know the SD is being removed. (but internal SD still not visible) Not until a reboot (w/o ext SD) to get things back to normal.

Now my question is, the JL2 FW from OP is it the exact same as the stock JL2 FW on my phone? or worth a try to flash it again and see if it fixes the problem above?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] que3jxp:
Frankly, sounds a LOT more like a bad microSD card that you are trying to use. That or it is just incompatible with the Samsung phones. It can happen.

Try getting another one from someone you know and see if the same thing happens. Preferably one that known to work in a SGS from Bell. I use a 16 GB Lexar and have no issues at all on either my replacement hardware or the earlier one before the firmware fun at Christmas. I have had all of the different official firmwares that have been released and none of them caused issues for my Lexar card either.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] whatid:
OK, that's one of the possibility the phone doesn't like my SD card.

Meanwhile I am still reading (a bit lost) on how to back up my original ROM (in case I need to restore my phone before sending back to Bell)

And does all the custom FW works on Bell I9000M? (I was from the Samsung Omnia camp, and knowing custom FW will brick Bell phones)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
All Gamer:

I think I will take the plunge... just have to wait for my battery to charge up (passed 50% I believe as Kies won't let me until then)...

Question though... I see a not after kies installation on your guide, If successful, boot into Recovery and wipe cache and data I believe. Wouldn't a factory reset do the same thing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
It supposed to be the same, but... i noticed they do things a little differently.

When you use Factory Reset, it leaves stuff behind in the Internal SD

when you use Wipe Data / Wipe Cache from the Recovery Screen, it really cleans up everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
Cool. Thanks again.

30% battery life right now.. this wait is killing me. lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
Ok one final question (34% :rolleyes: ) to you All Gamer,

Seeing as you never had GPS problems like myself, how are you finding JK3?

Head over heels worth the upgrade?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
Darnit, all that waiting, now no response from server (Kies).

Oh well. guess I will continue waiting... not going the ODIN route.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cuem:
I've followed the whole guide correctly ( I'm 99% sure>.< )

However, I still have a black screen, any help?

Odin says sucessed, but once the i9000 reboot, after the galaxy s logo, my screen goes black and I can't do anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
This may not be a whole lot of help, as I've only been reading and researching thus far but:

1. After it went to black screen, did you wait long enough? I've read it takes quite a while for everything to boot up for the first time.

2. Have you tried clearing your data, wiping your cache via recovery mode? (Vol Up + Home + Power)? You'll lose all your data, but I hear thats what you have to do as well for a clean install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cuem:
1. Yup, I've waited over 20minutes, hoping for a miracle lol

2. I've wiped out everything after flashing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
Well still "no response from server with kies"... I tried a bunch of times. I was about to go the Odin route, but after reading cuem's problems I dont know if I should go for it or not. I'm kinda worried now to try with odin....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
Ya, I'm guessing samsung pulled it from kies. So the odin route may be our only option.

I've decided not to use odin, so my only option is to wait for kies to work, or wait til the official is released unfortunately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ziostilon:
im still on JG9 with three-button disabled

is it JH2 that i have to flash to first, which i believe has the 3 button fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
ODIN or Kies, it does not matter. If you phone is going to die its going to die. Its an inevitably with this phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Videonut:
NO you can't just enter BMC. You have a problem that has to be fixed. I noticed in anothr thread you extracted Kies Patcher to the Desktop. Why not nuke it and try extracting it into it's own directory and see if all the files are there. There are about 10 of them. My guess, however, is your problem is somehow related to the .net framework. Try another computer if you can or go with odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
it's not necessary, you can go directly from JG9 to JK3

but it is highly recommended to get JH2 as it will enable the 3 button modes

or you can make your own Home made JIG cable to get into the Download Mode
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
That could be, however there have been more reported cases doing things outside of kies than within so I'm staying with what I believe is a safer route.

Just a personal, possibly paranoid, preference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
well i have tried some more with kies with no luck. I went ahead with odin. So far so good everything running smooth. Let's see how long till my internal sd fails. I still have warranty so I figured might as well be sooner then later. thanks for the great tutorial.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
I'm figuring the Kies method is dead for good.

Samsung may have placed it on the server for the Bell Technical Group to download it on the test phones they are using, and kept it there for a period until they learned end users found a method to download it themselves.

Back to waiting I guess.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dm-digital:
I've been reading reports that some people have had problems copying large amounts of data to the internal/external SD cards via USB. It's seems that when some people copy large files or amounts of data it becomes corrupt. This wouldn't cause internal SD failure but could possibly explain some of the problems with corruption when flashing with Odin or Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
This is definitely possible, even USB key drives becomes corrupted over time, same with SD & microSDs (Transcend, Adata)

I sent a couple of mine for Warranty exactly for that reason, one was Kingston, another was Corsair, the other one (Super Talent) i sent before came back already
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xedd:
Well I upgraded to Froyo JK3 with much apprehension using Odin 1.7 last night.

It actually went pretty smoothly.

My only issue at this point is that I cannot get Clockwork mod recovery update.zip to run anymore... It complains about signature issue on the file... I've searched the Internet for answers and it appears to be a feature of Froyo so I guess we can no longer use ROM Manager in its current state... I found a thread on a workaround but it did not indicate that it was compatible with our Bell firmware so I didn't dare try it...

Anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Videonut:
I believe this is because froyo uses 3e recovery and not 2e. I think you can flash a different kernal to get 2e back.

ME AND MY FRIEND ARE NOT ON GOOD TERMS RIGHT NOW I TELL YOU!!

He has a Galaxy S, like mine... he did the ODIN thing and somehow convinced me to go ahead and do it. I shouldn't have listened, but I GAVE THE PHONE TO HIM to do it.

He did it this morning and all was working well for the better part of the day.. Then just minutes ago, the phone said force close on TWLauncher or something like that, and then the phone went Black screen with only the lights at the bottom lit up. I waited for a while, and nothing...

So I pulled the battery. Now it just goes into a constant GT-I9000M loop...

The phone will go into download mode, but will not go into recovery.... I had both before.

Is the phone now bricked or SD fail?

Dammit, I shouldn't have listened... I should have never let him use ODIN. More power to you guys that did, but now I have an unusable phone.

Any way to get this phone going again or is it screwed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
Well tried many different things after researching here with no success.

Guess this phone is going back. Boy do I miss the HTC Diamond days when things were a little more simpler.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
That sucks, but its really nothing to do with odin. It would likely have failed if updated with kies. It seems they are almost all doomed to the same fate at some point.

I have an unlocked "Canadian" I9000M (runing on 2.1) purchased from a cellphone importer. I finally got tired of waiting for an official Froyo update yesterday. I followed your instructions and upgraded to 2.2 in less than ten minutes. It took me longer to back up and get organized then to upgrade and restore!

Thanks! Great instructions!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benchpress:
One questions though: the update went very well, but now "my location" does not work properly. Google Maps app keeps saying "Your location is unavailable temporarily." Likewise with any apps that try to read "Mylocation" data.

I tried rebooting, as well as removing the battery, but no luck. Is anyone having the same problem? The phone is not rooted, but unlocked.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mad2x:
I did everything properly, went from 2.1 eclair to 2.2 jk3, wipe factory and cache, then flashed with odin. Then right after did another wipe, then install all my apps with market. Everything works good, except once in a while if I load and app, or movie or something, it hangs, and vibrates pretty hard. the screen goes black and I have to press the menu button, close the app, and load it back up and then it works fine. I flashed yesterday morning and it's happend to me like 3-4 times. Is this sign that my internal sd is dying? tks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] greeced:
Replied to your exact same question in the other thread... same thing happened to me, now the next person to see my phone is the repair guy.

Although people believe it has nothing to do with ODIN, that cannot be confirmed. I truly believe ODIN doesn't do something right causing our I9000M's to fault somehow. I'm not technically knowledgeable, but there is definitely something wrong here. KIES must allocate something differently than ODIN does, or there is something wrong with firmware files.

For all we know Samsung puts some sort of corruption on those files or they are not extracted properly from the phone in the first place.

Who knows.. grasping here.. but this theory may hold some water.

update

i followed your instruction and updated my GT19000M using kies. I updated it today about and hour ago the registry patch worked. I did try the hack 2 days ago but it kept on saying no response from the server. So if any one is having problems updating through kies with the registry patch go and try again today. The update procedure went smoothly with no issues and the im loving froyo rite now :). However i was looking under the "battery use" setting and saw that the screen is using 95% of my battery. My brightness setting are the default setting with automatic brightness and lcd power saving checked. Is the 95% battery used by the screen normal!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xZeDgEx:
Can you take a screen shot of the firmware on your phone? Want to see if its any different than the one I installed with odin. Also did it wipe your phone? Thanks.

I could not get kies servers to respond so I went with Odin. Now I'm having issues, is it still possible for me to do the kies update over jk3?
