Hmm mine boots straight into recovery mode no matter what 2.2 ROM i flash. I haven't tried that speedmod-kernel-k9a-256h.tar you mentioned though.

EDIT: I just flashed the speedrom kernel and it boots but still no internal SD card.

EDIT 2: It suddently said that SD card was removed and then it mounted it. So now I can see my internal SD

EDIT 3: I went into recovery mode and tried to do wipe data/factory reset and it got stuck "Formatting Data" so I aborted, it wouldn't boot again, finally it completed but now is the same thing all over again. Won't get pass the Galaxy S logo. Darn so many things happening and it was so close on my 2nd edit. Why did I have to try factory reset???!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] billypg:
I'm giving up. Mine seems to be faulty hardware. Will have to wait til I get back to Canada to send it to Bell or Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
try flashing JL2 again with the phone boot loader update, the sd format on the speedmod failed on a few for me....never got stuck though, but i read it was supposed to fail on a few. i dunno, sucks to have to wait for a repair.....

check out this thread, try what the guy states about dbdata....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884966
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] billypg:
Hmm in our case what would be the ROM with DBDATA?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
if it is missing that data, JH2 has that dbdata file in the tar, to verify just right click the .tar file and click open, I looked on both JK3 and JL2 do NOT have the dbdata. maybe, flash to JH2 and if that doesn't work, flash over top with JK3 or JL2....ha wont' hurt
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] billypg:
Wow. It's alive now .. let's see how long it lasts!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
awesome, glad you didn't give up
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] billypg:
Back to the real world now .. i'm supposed to be on vacations. Thanks a bunch dude! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] contalyst:
Did you just flash the PDA with nothing else? And did you flash JH2, then JL2 or JK3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
Hi Lazarus, welcome back from the dead. Can you post a clear "how-to" for the rest of us? I'm totally confused by the different threads. We just need to know what to flash, the settings in Odin, and the exact files we need (you can attach them in your post).

I assume you had the SD error as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bimmerboii:
Can you please give a step by step on what exactly you did? Help save a poor soul!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
He did post a clear how-to, read through the entire thread. I'm in the process of trying to fix it; I'll report back in a few.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
I just tested JL2 with 2 internal SD briked SGS

and both of them just goes into an infinite boot cycle, it didn't fix the internal SD

it does completes successfully flashing via Odin, tried all kind of combinations, check boxes, with and without a pit file.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Yeah, I've been trying for the past hour. I've tried:

-Flashed JL2

-Flashing JL2 with Bootloader Update checked

-Flashed both of the above with Pits

-Flashed JK3, JK4, JH2, JM8

-Flashed just the pit file with repartition checked

Pretty much every combination of files, I've done, but to no avail: my phone is either having an unlimited boot loop, the 'cant mount' error in recovery, or no errors in recovery at all - but the phone just goes to a blank screen.

I'll be sending it in for repair tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bimmerboii:
can you give me a link where to download JH2 with a sbl file in it (as your screenshot)

Samsung Firmware Decoder

Decoder Source, if you want to compile it yourself

or I'll upload my full JH2 to multipload in a sec...

Edit: http://www.multiupload.com/EZF1IEZ34H
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
The only one with the sbl.bin file is the latest for our phone JL2. I don't think my issue is the same as most of you though. My phone soft bricked when I was in the middle of flashing BACK from JL2 to JK3. The sbl.bin file stands for second boot loader and that is what was messed on my phone, it hit the first GT-i9000m screen for a second and rebooted, it never hit the S logo. Once I flashed JL2 with that bootloader option checked it brought it to the S but then did the black screen (I was then able to get into recovery mode and saw an error for dbdata missing or something along those lines). I then flashed JH2 on top of that (apparently some dbdata file in there that is in no other rom out of the three JH2, Jk3 and JL2). It wouldn't boot past the S so I flashed JL2 again and it worked. I dunno, you'd think a new flash would wipe everything but i'm not sure how these are set up.....maybe I just got lucky, ha.

I'm uploading to multiupload now....not sure where I got this rom from, either here somewhere or samfirmware.com it will be up shortly. Just a note this is for a i9000m not sure if it will work on any other.

Here is JH2 again not sure where I got it but it's legit - http://www.multiupload.com/JRO9ZQBM7Y
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] grokon:
JL2 has been confirmed as the new firmware for Bell on their facebook page

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=260085296049&topic=15210
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zshakespeare:
So what changed in JL2 that fixes the problem? Once we apply JL2 will we be able to apply other roms or are we stuck using Samsung provided roms for the duration of our term with this phone?

edit: Does it even fix the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
Not sure, it's probably just a bug fix from the JK3 ROM. They actually pulled it because i'm assuming it was bricking more than average phones. I had issues when going from JL2 to JK3 but that was most likely a one off thing, there is always a way to flash new software, you just have to do it right ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zshakespeare:
So what actually fixes it? I got the bright idea to try flashing jk3, and more specifically it's sbl, and it didn't revive my device. I'm confused as to what actually is the way we need to rub this thing to make it work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Teranox:
What's Really New?

On Samsung Mobile Canada Page on Facebook something picked my attention.

"to enjoy the improved performance and additional functionality that this latest revision provides"

I don't know if this refer to THIS upgrade or 2.2 in general. But if anyone tried it, could you tell me what would be the new features added since the first 2.2 upgrade from Dec 10?

Currently I run Darky 6.0 Rom so I wanted to know what could I get as new feature...(don't want to switch to bell rom anymore just want to get new things separately)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
what error are you getting in the recovery mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
new features I haven't found any.....but it is a little faster, I found JK3 choppy.....GPS is the same for me, still meh. I would stay with Darky's rom, I want to know how to do this actually, did you have to flash a JK3 modem or what?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
Still getting this when I try to update. Even threw a factory reset at it just for kicks.

:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
HAHAHAHA love your signature.....classic
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zshakespeare:
I was getting "unable to mount device /dev/block/stl10 (I/O error)" or something similar to that. I can't reference because the phone is at a Samsung service station now.

I tried flashing different combinations of JH2, JK3, and JK4.both with, and without bootloaders.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
ya I think that error is the SD corruption error.....****ty
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] archangelz:
Frick, my Kies kept on telling me I didn't have enough battery power to do the upgrade. That was annoying as hell. Figured it was one of those power saving apps I was using so I just wiped the whole thing and it seems to be updating properly. Luckily I can just restore everything after so it should be ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miniflight:
My device said the upgrade is available. I just got my new phone replacement back from repair from Bell. I am too scared to try and upgrade again :(. I am gonna wait a bit lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BlackDino:
Well I can also confirm, JL2 has brought me back from a brick.

Pretty amazing, my phone wouldn't even turn on from JH2 (it would show the boot text for less then a second and restart)

Thumbs up to samsung for finally fixing this issue!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mayo1973:
JL2 updated

I updated 2 days ago with the reg hack to JL2 . After my first phone died with with JK4. Now my phone seems a lot faster and the GPS locks on real fast and is very accurate. Finally they seemed to have fixed it. knock on wood....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Z4Root will not work with JL2 :(, anyone find a way to get it rooted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
Okay so where in the world do we find the speedmod-kernel-k9a-256h.tar and what settings do we use in Odin to flash it?

Can you attach the file to your post here? I've tried looking everywhere with no success!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
I found that back on JK3 the z4root was missing so I started using superoneclick, it's an app you run on your computer and it roots via adb
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
The speed mod kernel is located here:

http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html

just grab the one I mentioned.....just flash like all others, use the pda option just know this is just the kernel and will not load a rom, I used it to get into recovery mode AFTER the bootloader update brought back my recovery. I found there was more options to format with this kernel. Then I suggest flashing JH2 and then again JL2. I dunno, hopefully this works for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] montrealguy:
SuperOneClick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] archangelz:
Updated. Faster than before in some things. Although some of my app home shortcuts will not survive through power cycles now. It's always the games, Angry birds shortcuts will disappear without fail every time after a reset. Is this happening to anyone else.

I am waiting for some FC's and internal memory to be killed at any moment hehe..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neil85ae86:
bah

well my phone has behaved great since jk4, I decided to take the dive and go with jl2 based on the idea that it might prevent me from ending up with a brick.

well my gps has gone back to the way it was with 2.1, I can see lot's of sats but cannot maintain a lock for more than a few seconds, and sometimes all the sats will just dissappear from the radar, this sucks it was mint with jk4....

The new Bell official JL2 updated via Kies won't let you move apps to SD! How come? Can anyone else confirm this. I kept getting this error --- "Failed to move application. Not enough memory"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtg2:
I think that problem is on your end. I just moved some apps to my sd card with no problem. Could you actually be out of memory? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Did you move it to an external card or the 13 gb of internal memory that comes with the phone. I rebooted the phone a couple of times, but It still gives me that error when I try to move them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] t1mman:
My windows doesn't install the drivers for the Download mode...any idea where I could check?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Anyone care to write a quick step-by-step guide on how to use SuperOneClick on the JL2 I9000M please? The SuperOneClick thread abounds in contradictory info, to the point where my head started hurting. Among others, they say something about not mounting one's SD card. Is that the internal SD card they refer to, or the external one? And what if you, like me, don't have an external SD card? Will it work w/o an external SD card?

Many thanks, and merry Christmas!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radeon_x:
I just downloaded it, ran it, clicked the root button, connected my phone when prompted (with USB debugging already enabled), and it worked. So I think it's more simple than the thread makes it sound :)

BTW, updated to JL2 through Kies this morning and all seems to be working well so far (my phone has had the MB replaced).

Merry Christmas all!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thequinox:
I had my SD card out, but I don't think it matters. Just put your phone into debug mode and click root. I used titanium backup to install the latest busybox after and I was done.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brynm:
Ok, just to be sure. Right now I'm running Doc's jk3 v1.1 rom with Hardcore's speedmod kernal (not sure which version off the top of my head).

Do I need to flash back to JH2 before upgrading to this? If I do, I downloaded the stock JH2 firmware from the sticky in this section. Do I just load the .tar that is extracted from that and it'll reflash the kernel and everything back to JH2? And I use the 512 pit file, correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Thanks :) Worked like a charm.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] w98seeng:
I updated via Kies last night and so far everything is fine. Z4 Root didn't work, so I used SuperOneClickv1.5.5. Now I can not get Clockwork Recovery to load (to back-up with ROM Manager). I try to install Update.zip and I get...

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Any 2.2 non custom rom has 3e recovery , ClockworkMod only works with 2e recovery. You would have to flash a different Kernel with Odin to get it back , Check out hardcore's kernel it will allow you to do what your looking for.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gtg2:
If you're going to flash the firmware at the start of this thread via ODIN, you don't need to revert back to JH2. Flash away. If however you would prefer to do this via KIES, you'll need to get back to a stock firmware first or use the reg hack solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] w98seeng:
Many thanks for the info. It kinda defeats my purpose though. I wanted to back-up my phone with ROM Manager so I would have as original (Except for root) a back-up as possible. If I change the kernel, the phone is no longer stock (again, except for root).

I'm gonna look around for a back-up program I can use without flashing the kernel.

Thanks,

Ian
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
just looking to backup apps and such? Try Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Actually Superoneclick did not work , shows super user and all but when trying to use Titanium Backup it says I do no have root access even though I clicked allow in super user, any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miniflight:
u need to install busybox through titanium backup...touch the problem? button in the application
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] spectre85:
I think they might have fixed that by getting the signature for 3e....can anyone confirm? The reason I think so is because I did a rom manager backup last night and it worked. Before when running 3e it would fail and say signature not verified....this time it worked though! Can anyone confirm this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Samdroid_G_S:
Yup, busybox was the issue, thanks working fine now :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brynm:
Flashed last night via Kies with no issues yet. I'm sitting at 11 hours since unplugged and have 76% battery left. Battery use shows 88% display, 6% phone idle, and 5% cell standby. Gps has also been good, first time I started it took a minute or two to lock, then it's getting a lock within ~5sec.

Thinking of doing a bit of a torture test on my internal sd card and record a bunch of hd video and see if I have any problems.

Some one help me with this moving apps to SD error. Everytime I try to send them to the internal(13gb) sd, it says "Move Application

Failed to move application" so how to go about dealing with this error?

I reflashed jl2 using Odin...bricked it ..but got it back by flashing JH2 and then jl2 (which works by the way) So yea, reflashing Jl2 didn't seem to help the app to sd error. Help please.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sci05:
just got my replacement phone from bell, but i can't seem to be able to go into recovery mode. if i do the official flash to jl2, will i get the 3 button fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] shadoslayer:
Man what a pain in the butt this is. I flashed to JL2 to check it out and decided to flash back to JH2, and got stuck in the bootloop. Yippe! Anyway, back to JL2 for now.

Anyway, my question is could I repack the JL2 with dbdata from JH2 to avoid the hassle of flashing jh2 then jl2? Also, are the permissions on the files in that tarball that I should be concerned about (in other words, do I need to repack in Linux, or can I just create the tar through winrar)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xxgg:
So how is JL2 treating i9000M users so far ?

I personally am using Darky's V7 + JK3 Modem and I am happy with 3G/H connection and GPS is working well for me.(so far)

Installed new firmware an hour ago with Hardcore k10k on top of it. Used the Hardcore kernel to root the OS from the 2e recovery menu.

So far so good.

anyone else having a problem with the call quality after the JL2 update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sci05:

yes it flashes the bootloader which gives you the download mode, etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zeroculture:
Same issue here ... no problems upgrading via odin, but my GPS does not work at all. ARGH!

**EDIT**

OK ... Did the following (found info somewhere on XDA)

*#3214789650#

Application Settings > Start Mode > Coldstart

Then "Delete GPS Data"

Then "Get Position Test"

It found up to 8 Satellites. I then went back into the menu, set it back to "Hotstart", and it appears to be working, but it is not accurate at all. Still working on that.

I cannot seem to connect to Wifi it keeps saying connecting then disconects. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] oscarsalgar:
I'm using JL2 on a i9000M but changed the provider to Tigo Colombia. Everything seems ok except for the gps and the battery life. I managed to get gps working in like 40 seconds (using gps test), but it does not work well in google maps.

Battery life sucks. I've been unplugged for three hours and it is down to 56%. Wifi is off, display brightness is in its minimum, and background data sync is unchecked.

How else could I improve battery life?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bugadv:
still does not work. no satellites at all!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
Did you factory reset after flashing? I'm on JL2 as well and I've been unplugged for well over 48 hours and I've still got ~30% battery life left (and I wasn't close to full when I flashed).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SaneinOne:
Anyone know if this is similar to the latest leaked Tab ROM ie. locked bootloader, as I'm unable to revert back to any other ROM after flashing JL2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
Having a major issue here.

I was running Doc's 6.2 JPY on ext4 with JK4 modem.

I wanted to try the JL2 ROM after the good things folks were saying about it.

I went into download mode and flashed JL2 with 512pit, repartition checked, and bootloader update checked since I believe this ROM has a new bootloader.

After flashing it didn't boot, just gave me an error in recovery saying it couldn't mount dbdata. Data/factory reset resulted in the phone booting to the S logo, but just sitting there doing the buzzing.

I decided to try flashing back to JG8 which I thought was safe, but instead I got a weird phenomenon where after flashing, the phone would flash on and off repeatedly.

What do I need to do to get this thing booted back up?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SaneinOne:
I have read in the past that Bell has previously secondary locked certain smartphone devices. Latest Tab leaked ROM was found to have bootloader locked. Coincidence? I flashed from base Froyo to base JL2, no repartition, no pit, no bootloader update, no issues. Every attempt to flash to other firmware resulting in device locking with successive flashing of the processing icon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SaneinOne:
@chambo622 Reflash JL2, no repartition, no pit, no bootloader update, just PDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dcarr622:
Thanks flashing without .pit did the trick =D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jeffrohurt:
Hey. Ok. Ive been trying to fix this all day long, since 10:00 and itès now 5:00 here. I have the io error and havent been able to get anything. I had it going on jl2 but no internal sd card. Tried all the ideas in this thread to get it back but nothing. Does that mean the phone is fried or can I bring it somewhere to get fixed. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Have tried all different combinations with .pit, without .pit, bootloader check, repartition checked and unchecked, speedmod kernel. Was previously on jpx and wanted to try Darkys v6 rom and that was where it all went wrong:-(

Any help, again, would be appreciated.

Although I only have one post, I have modded numerous android phones so I sort of know what I am doing. Just to clarify.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
You'll need to call Samsung or take the phone into Bell to get it fixed/replaced.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jeffrohurt:
There has to be something I can do! I really dont or cant go back to Bell because I bought this off someone else so warranty is not an option.
