READ THIS POST BEFORE ASK! USE ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE!

General Note: There are now four official models of the Samsung Galaxy S outside the US: the GT-I9000 (International), GT-I9000M (Canada), GT-I9000B (Brazil), GT-I9000T (Mexico). All information in this FAQ is based on the GT-I9000 International version. Most of them also apply to the other models. The I9000M and I9000T are virtually identical to the I9000 and are mostly compatible with I9000 software. The I9000B has an added digital television receiver and is generally not as compatible. Please check carefully before starting to mess with the firmware on your device, check for possible compatibility issues beforehand and ALWAYS make sure you have three button recovery

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR I9000B:Ok guys, now is possible find more than one modded kerner for I9000B, but you must be careful, because many of them have a lot of bugs or are't fully tested. Almost all of new moded kernel doesn't support Digital TV so if it is useful for you, don't try, until the official firmware updates are released.​

How to: Flashing your SGS

[VIDEO] Using Odin

[APP]SuperOneClick v2.3.3 (One Click Rooting-Unrooting)

How to [/COLOR]unlock/unfreeze all SGS Models
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andifds:
How-to Root Gingerbread 2.3.3 Stock using FuguRoot

1: Flash the stock rom

2: Download the zImage moded for Odin

3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall

4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (if you let it conected to usb will loop on charging)

5. Disconnect and enter download mode

6: Reflash the ONLY original kernel (Download here)

7. DONE!

No 3G/GPRS/EDGE after flashing?

Is very common that after flashing a new firmware or kernel your device isn't conecting to 3G. WHY? Because many of the firmwares or kernels wipe all the user data includig de APN, wich contains the neccesary info to connect your device to 3G networks. But don't worry, this is not the end of the world. You could Add your APN confirgation just following this steps

1. Go to Settings

2. Go to Wireless and network

3. Then go to Mobile networks

4. You will find the Acces Point Names or APN were should be the info to connect to 3G, click here

5. After that, use the "phisical" button of menu

6. Choose New APN

7. Set the configurarion of your carrier/mobile network (This info could be found at carrier/mobile network web page or just simply googling)

8. Done! you have your SGS configurated

To prevent loose the APN data, exists many apps wich could help. One of them is APN Backup & Restore a simple FREE App to backup and restore APNs. Very usefull.

The are some devices that's not necessary to back up data or add the data again, just conecting to 3G will download and apply de data by itselfs.

Problem with SuperOneClick v1.5.5 ?

If you get stucked at any moment of the process, waiting days for getting mount path?

Here is a solution.

1. Turn on usb debugging

2. Turn off phone & plug into usb

3. Start SuperOneClick

4. When it says waiting for device, turn phone on and let SOC finish the job.

5. Enjoy root!

Sync Error

Hello, thanks for creating this topic. We were really needed it!

I bought an SGS in Brazil, operator Vivo, Android 2.1 (Eclair) and upgraded to the 2.2 Froyo (Live - ZVV) using Odin (no pit). Since then, I'm having problems with Orkut sync.

When orkut account is selected, "Feeds and Updates" widget always displays the error: "Service Unavailable".

Under Settings / Accounts and synchronization features: Synchronization error "Synchronization is currently having problems. They will return soon" and does not synchronize the contacts on orkut.

This has been more than a month, since when I have done several roms updates, using odin (including re-partition) and Kies.

The only thing that worked a while, was to create a new Orkut account (in fact, google account) but after a factory reset, stopped again.

Other SNSAccounts work well, I have no problems with Twitter to Facebook, only Orkut.

I posted here because I think Orkut is a SNSAccount available only in Brazil.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

Personally I recommend I9000BVJJPD fw for updates, it is unbranded and the last version know, the firmwares from operators are too old (september, october, november).

Then root the phone and download "Uninstaller for root" from market, for delete some useless apps like "Braintest" or "Asphalt 5"

For brazilian users, yo can enter to androidz.com.br where a user (ffosilva) modified the kernell, so any ROM can work with the i9000b (the only thing that doesn´t work is the TV), for argentinian users (or from peru and chile) go to grupoandroid.com.

For example, I have my i9000b with a 2.2.1 JS3 (the last one) ROM "cooked" by me using the DOCs ROM Kitchen that is in development section

3G

Guys, i update mine with froyo and lost 3G, i have TIM and CLARO chips, neither of them get 3G connections... just Gprs and Edge..

Also the signal got a little weird, for instance CLARO signal at my house gets weak and shows the message "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY", if i use the same chip in another phone, gets FULL signal...

If anyone has the same problem or solution please contribute!

Thanks

P.s.: Sometimes in CLARO I get FULL signal and the emergency calls only message disappears, bur when I try to make a call, it says "DATA NETWORK UNAVAILABLE"

Help from changing VIVO froyo to unbranded froyo

I'm from Perú, and last month I upgraded to brazilian froyo (I9000B_JPA_JP3_JPA_JPA_VJ_ZVV_BRAZIL) using odin. With this version I am having issues with wireless and GPS. My question is how can I change to the unbranded version. I have lagfix and root installed. Do I have to undo the lagfix and the root first? Is it possible to install the unbranded version and don't lose the applications installed??

Please confirm

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andifds:

Best way to downgrade the recovery?

Hello,

I want to be able to keep using the clockworkmod recovery in froyo but the recovery witch came(3e) is incompatible.

Wich is best way to downgrade the recovery from 3e to 2e to be able to use clockwork and still stay with latest froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Half Bit:
I'm freaking stupid!

Hello.

I`m asking because I didn`t find an answer with what I read on the past 2 hours.

I have a VIVO Galaxy S GT-9000B, with Froyo 2.2.1.

I had already used SuperOneClick root on my device and I download the Clockwork Mod from the Android Market, but the clockwork flash kept on failing to install because my phone had ( yes, had ) the 3e recovery mode.

So, I stupidly followed www dkszone net/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-running-android-2.3.3-gingerbread-xxjvk pages info and I flashed my phone. At that moment, I didn`t realize it said 2.3.3 .

The outcome is that my brand new SGS is on reboot loop.

Is there any guru that point me with the file to recover my phone?

Plus, how do I get Clockwork installed on it?

Thanks.

( I tried not to say, but I need to say I`m desperate )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pedrocel85:
Hey, download the JPD fiwmware in first post.

Put your phone in download mode.

Flash it throught ODIN WITHOUT REPARTITION CHECKED.t

The firmware shoud go in PDA opition

Then you are done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Half Bit:
Dude, I really thank you for the answer ( and for not trolling =)

My phone is working again! I sure knew that was the path to do recover, but I wasn`t sure on which ODIN options I should check or uncheck and I didn`t want to really brick it.

Anyway, I got ir rooted again, Clockwork MOD was already found after the phone booted.

When I run ROM Manger, the first option is "Aplicar recuperação ClockworkMod"(Apply ClockworkMOd recovery), and there is a list of phone models. I don`t see I9000B there. I have tried the 9000B.

But when I select "Reiniciar para a recuperação" ( Boot to recovery mode ) the phone reboots into the original Samsung 3e recovery.

How do I make CWM work?

Again,

Thanks.

Downgrade from 3e to 2e or clockwork in I9000B

Great to hear it bro,

Dont forget to hit thanks in my posts if u find them usefull...

:-)

Well, froyo roms came with this drawback, they are not compatible with clockwork because the kernet came with a new recovery, the 3e one.

There is some ways to put the 2e recovery and become able to use clockwork again, but all of them involves kernel patching and hacking, witch wasnt done yet.

This topic gives the patched kernels to all gt 9000 variants but the brasilian one :( is no go

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

Im asking ang begging there, but it seems we lack developers to push brasilian version to other countrys patamar.

So, dont worry, but cool with froyo till someone develop a solution

Edit:

It seems i talk too early.

Flash these kernel:

Hello Guys, I have a problem. I upgraded my Galaxy before, worked to clear 3g Brazil normally. After the update, it no longer works 3g. I did the tutorial

like the one mentioned. Does anyone have any idea what can be done?

Sorry my english
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Half Bit:
Dude, I almost crapped my pants here! Give full advices dude :p

I went to that thread and download that kernel.

I put my phone into download mode, launched ODIN, repatition UNCHECKED and flashed that into my phone. The phone restarted automatically.

It started booting and froze for longer than usual on the Samsung Galaxy S welcome screen, the one before the cinematic S with sound.

Then a female computer voice started saying some phrases. The first one was:

Invalid partition data ( WTH!?!?!? I almost cried! )

Time to finish: 1 minute

( after 20 or 30 seconds )

Bad .... ( something else I couldn't understand )

Time to finish: 2 minutes

( after more seconds )

Formatting finished ( or something like that )

( 3 or 4 more phrases that I can't remember because I was punishing myself in my brain, regretting on flashing an unknow file to my R$ 1500 phone )

Thanks God, after almost 2 minutes the phone finished booting. I was so reliefed!!!

Now I do know what a lagfix is about! The responsiveness of the phone is incredible, and before I though my phone didn't suffer from lag! :cool:

Also, I just checked and yes, I got ClockworkMod on it now!

Sure enough, I do have more questions.

1) If I use an oficial update from Samsung, CWM and all goodies I got ( root, SuperUser, lagfix, etc ) will be gone again, correct?

2) If I use some ROM I get on XDA, most likely won't remove CWM, right?

3) What are the pit files for?

4) What are CSC files?

5) Why we never repation?

Thanks everyone on the forum for the community!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Half Bit:
If you buy the phone unattached to any carrier plan you can find it by R$ 1600 on the legal market.

On the unofficial importers you can find it by R$ 1200 or so.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Half Bit:
You need to explain the situtation better.

I think would be a good idead for you to post both, in English and portuguese below.

So, you have an SGS ( Samsung Galaxy S).

Before the update, you had 3G working on the phone, on Claro.

After updating, you don't have 3G anymore.

You followed which tutorial?

I think that you probably need to configure or reset the APN, which pretty much are the setting for 3G on the phone. There are variations, but I´m not sure if they are different per country or per carrier. Research a little more on APN and you might get it to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pedrocel85:
:D

Hahaha, nice to hear it, braveheart mode on!

There is a mutch newer kernel, with many many improvments whoose will work also with our phone and rom.

Its the lasted speedmod kernel with voodoo audio drivers, compiled by the same creator for the another kernel, give a try(its instaled on my phone.)

Install these one:

ht tp://ww w.brasildroid.c om.br/forum/download/file.php?id=153

mind the spaces in adress

Giving advices now, when it boot up, the recovery will ask to reformat(undo the lagfix), do it and you are good to go.(it can be donne again, after)

Abou your questions:

1)Yes, the will be gone, cause they are kernel related.

2)you cannot use ANY rom from xda, because they are made for other phone(vibrant, facinate, or generic I9000), instal other rom will most likely brick your phone. You need to find roms made specificaly to i9000b

3)pit files is the guides for your phones format and partition for odin dont mess anything.

4)Dunno for sure the csc one

5)If your thick repartition without have a repertition file(means all files for the rom)Repartition will screw a very important file from your phone, witch is called dbdata.db, so phone will softbrick.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andifds:
Thats why when you re-flash firmware or kernel you lost your configuaration, so you lost your Access Point Names.

Just go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names

there use the "phisical" button of menu and then click New APN and then fill the form according to your carrier. You can easily find that info on carrier or provider web site, or just google it.

There are many apps thats prevents loosing APN config just makin a back-up of it in your SD, find it for future firmware updates
