Yep! Missed that one. It's k13c. Typo.

Haven't really noticed much difference in reception but since flashing zsjpe modem have had my best results on speedtest, as well as excellent gps.

On 3g/H got just on 5mbps (optus/virgin), and 3g reception is not the best at my place regardless of the modem. I live 8km from Melbourne CBD.

I have jp3, jpe, jpx & jpy modems saved on the internal sd and it takes minutes to swap over using cwm recovery. ZSJPE kicks ass.

Flashing a modem doesn't effect / delete apn settings so no need to re-enter them. Fir those needing any Aus carrier apn setting you can find them here:

Hi All,

I work on Barrow Island off the coast of Karratha in WA. The tower here is Next G only and supports UMTS/WCDMA 850mhz. I have a GT-I9000 bought from a friend who got it through Optus. I am on a Telstra plan with Telstra sim. I have enabled the frequency in the firmware and was getting 3G speeds without issue (I believe) until I upgraded to Froyo using Samsung Kies. I'm not sure if the upgrade to Froyo in Kies changed the modem file or whatever. I'm a n00b and willing to admit it lol. Anyway to cut this long story short I have installed Darky's Rom v8.1 without any success on the signal front. I have upgraded the modem and now get very sporadic signal. It is pretty much worthless. This all being in an area with very strong signal for others. I really would love some help if possible.

Mo0del Number: GT-I9000

Firmware Version: 2.2.1

Baseband Version: I9000UGJL2

Kernel Version2.6.32.9

Build Number: Darky's v8.1Gingerbread Edition
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
International (optus) I9000 doesn't support 850MHz. Only I9000T, I9000M and captivate do. You're out of luck mate
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
If you were able to get 3g before then you should also be able to do so after the upgrade. Just check you have the correct apn settings entered. If the tower only has the 850mhz signal then you shouldn't have been able to get it before the upgrade either. I suspect it may have been using the 1900/2100mhz 3g signal, forget which one.

ok in terms of my battery problem (in previous posts) I fully drained my battery and then fully charged the phone (while it was off). The batteryminder app now states 1d4h...so it has increased by 8 hours or so (20h previous charge).

Would the battery continue to improve after each drain/full charge ? (originally before installing customRoms it were 3d16h) Is it possible since flashing and rooting and all that jazz has caused some conflict between the battery and the phone ?

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Battery stats are almost always unreliable, and that batteryminder app is most certainly unreliable. Fully draining does damage to the battery, while on the flipside makes the battery stats more accurate.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
So what would you recommend I do ? just don't worry about what the battery stats suggest? and so I shouldn't fully drain the battery ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
If you don't mind buying a new battery in 6 months time for the sake of accurate battery stats, go for it. There are lots of people here who swear by it.

If you don't flash often it's probably worth it, but if you flash almost constantly like me, it's just a waste of time
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bondy28:
well as of 11.30pm last night and an upgrade of the modem file i can get intermittent signal out here. few sms filtered through. really flakey though. so thing is... GT-I9000 does work from the looks on 850mhz frequency after enabled in firmware with the right rom or modem file. i really want to wipe to the stock telstra 2.2 rom if possible. can anyone link me to anything helpful. i have googled my arse off. cant find much at all. just one file on rapidshare i cant access due to restrictions on the network. anyone know a public vpn server i can use to get around it lol.

hey guys

i just got my new galaxy S running froyo zsjpe.

i am with vodafoneAU, and am using the apn settings provided by VF techsupport. most of my settings are working fine, except when i receive an mms or pxt receiving notification it stays as 'downloading' and no message displays. even after waiting a whole day.

i have tried to speak to VF techsupport (honestly i am sick to death of lara) they have had no success either.

if any of you guys had a similar problem, or know of a painless cure... please let me know.

thanks

There is no telstra 2.2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thekayman:
Hi All,

My wife has the Galaxy S from Optus, she got it late last year and has updated to 2.2 via Kies.

The phone is lagging so much and unbearable especially attempting to use her activesync'd hotmail takes over 3 mins to open and most of the time force closes.

I have read up and it seems like 2.2.1 has lots of fixes to help the lag and it seems like it is not available in Aus yet.

If I update her phone to 2.2.1 via odin it seems like I wont be able to get the official Australian 2.2.1 update and android market shows as in a diff country etc?

If i do the 2.2.1 Odin update now can I then update to the Australian Kies 2.2.1 update when it is released or can I flash back to a older australian rom and then update or once I go to the other region Odin 2.2.1 update im stuck there?

hope you guys can help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Sorry to say this, but wtf are you on about !!

2.2.1 is available, but ONLY if you flash a custom/non specific rom.

I have NO idea what you are on about with office 2.2.1, there is NO office on android.

I would suggest you take a little time, and read a few more posts on here, get a more informed background and THEN ask again, there are plenty of people willing to help, but in order to help you, YOU have to help us, your post is all over the place and any suggestion taken as a result will probably end up with you in a much worse state that you are in at the moment.

ANY modification will probably render any warranty void, so you HAVE to be ready for possible issues and resolutions. The members on here are more technically inclined and will offer suggestions that don't always convey the full story, they will assume you have a more thorough knowledge and may miss out some vital steps that can lead to loss of functionality if not observed.

Repeat, take some time and do a little more reading and research, it will help you a lot more in the long run. Anyone can say "flash darky" and it will work, but you may not understand the bits that will not for YOUR situation, and your frustration will be a hell of a lot more than 3 minutes for a mail sync trust me.

gez someone having a bad day?

was quite obviously a simple typo ... was meant to say official not office.

I appreciate your reply but if you dont have an answer you dont need to post, other then the typo I thought my post made sense.

my simple question was if i do the reg hack on kies or use odin to update to the 2.2.1 from another region when 2.2.1 is finally release in Australia can I then revert to that version or once I go down the path of Odin etc I have to keep down that path?

I'm guessing i will probably have to go back to the official 2.2 and then update to 2.2.1 when the official Australian rom is out? Is there anything I should be doing before I update to the 2.2.1 from another region as in special backups etc?

Thanks

K
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Nope, not having a bad day at all, and for being so petulant on your post, I will leave you to dig your own hole.

These forums offer help to those willing to be helped, I was merely pointing out that if you bother to do some research, you would understand that once you go down the path of a non official version, the plethora of options and outcomes negates Kies and any samsung offering.

My apologies if you misunderstood the wording, I will bother you no more.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thekayman:
Thanks Silashack, i did mention in my post that i read that once I flashed 2.2.1 i couldnt use Kies but asked if I could revert back to a older official rom would it let me then use Kies once again.

I am more then willing to be helped hence why I am asking the questions, so someone can help me! If my post didnt provide the information you needed you can ask for it instead of telling me to go back and read. I have read quite a bit and those were my questions so hopefully someone will be nice enough to guide me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] droidgt:
You can use odin to flash the previous official firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and then get the later one (2.2.1) through kies. Odin and official firmwares are downloadable from samfirmware.com - you will have to sign-up with an email address.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thekayman:
Droidgt, thank you so much.

and just to make sure I understand correctly... I can use Odin and flash the phone to a other region 2.2.1 and use it for now .. and when the official Australian 2.2.1 is released if I want I can download the Australian Optus 2.2 firmware from samfirmware.com and then use Kies to update to the official Australian 2.2.1 and it would be like like a stock phone with the 2.2.1 update from optus would my thinking be right?

and sorry for the spoon feeding request but my current firmware is as follows:

PDA: I9000DTJP5

PHONE I9000DTJP3

CSC: I9000PSJP4

Build Info: 2010.11

Going to samfirmware.com and under the I9000 i found 1 firmware that had the firmware code of I9000DTJP5 would that be the current one I have and is that the one I would need to load on if I wanted to go back to using Kies?

can you possibly guide me as to which 2.2.1 firmware I could use?

Or am I being silly and I should just load a custom ROM such as Darky and then if I want to go back to stock use Kies with the I9000DTJP5 firmware from samfirmware? is that the best way to go back to stock or is there another type of backup I can do myself for this?

once again thank you so much for taking your time and helping me with the 1000 questions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bluephantom3:
I've flashed back to this stock firmware plenty of times but no you don't use Kies, once you use a custom firmware Kies won't work until you are on a stock firmware that is before the current update... ie you need to be on eclair for kies to give you Froyo.

As for a recommended firmware to flash with Odin I'd go for I9000XWJS3, there is also an XWJS5 but its just as slow as what you have got.

Once you have flashed it you may want to do a lagfix and there are many Kernels to choose from, I've tried them all out and have found they are all pretty similar but Voodoo seems to be the easiest as it updates the lagfix by default instead of having to manually turn it on. But if you do use a lagfix you must always disable it before flashing another firmware.

If you are confused or just want to ask some questions your welcome to PM me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] droidgt:
Yes, you can use another region's 2.2.1 for now. When the official 2.2.1 comes, you can flash I9000DTJP5 (2.2) using odin and then use kies to update to 2.2.1 as usual. Also, bookmark refer to this thread to make 3 files from single file (in samfirmware) as it's better to flash using a PIT to make your phone as new.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965190

You can install any custom rom if you like to. To revert back to official, all you have to do is flash the official firmware using odin (be sure to remove any lag fixes which you may have for some custom firmwares). If you are happy in using custom firmwares (I'm sure you will be), you will never turn back to official ones unless for any warranty claims :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
Flashing with kies is a waste of time. Samfirmware has all the stock roms so even when the updated optus firmware becomes available you can get it from there anyway. Personally I prefer the euro firmware as they are always updated before ours. 2.2.1 kicks ass. I recommend you dowload a 2.2.1 file, flash with odin as pda only (no pit) and all your apps / settings will remain. You will only lose the optus crap.

I'm now using a custom rom - doc's jpy but when I was on stock jpy I had no problem connecting to kies.

Personally I think your questions were spot on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
Sometimes it gets stuck and just won't work for me either. It usually happens when I'm on wifi. For me it only works on 3g. But for messages that get stuck it still doesn't help so I just delete them.

Anyway, in case you havent already just check you have the correct settings on this website:

I need a bit of advice to the Flashing via Odin guru's.

I am having certain program force closes, so to test the programs, I am going back to the plain Optus Froyo (2.2.1, DTJP5 ?)

I flashed the JP5 over to the phone via Odin.., but when it flashed, basically 3/4 of the Android was Force closing.

So I went back in to Odin, reflashed with a repartition.

Now......., All I get, is the flash from odin, the phone reboots to Recovery 3e (From 2.2.1), and I get a number of errors

['E:Cant mount /dev/block/stl10']

['Invalid argument']

['e:copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount DBDATA:']

['Your storage not prepared yet, please UI menu for format and reboot actions']

['Copy default media content failed']

The problem is, if i do the wipes of data/factory and cache, then reboot, the phone goes in to a vibrate and menu/back light on.., just came back from work (10 hours) and it was still doing it, so its still not flashing.

Any idea's ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:

OOI what kernel did you flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] whiteb1:
It was JP5, Optus release 2.2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
No mate the actual kernel, speedmod - voodoo - gto etc, or did you just d/l the whole lot from say samsungfirmware and flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] whiteb1:
JP5, Samfirmwares.

I have now Flashed JG4 back on the phone, it turns out the phone was missing DBDATA (as per the errors I had), after I put OPTUS JG4 back on (Which contains DBDATA), it recovered back to Android Desktop. Phone is breathing again now.. :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] samvdias:
I am on XWJS5 currently and experiencing severe battery drain. Can you advise how I could go back to Optus 2.2 ? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Flash to JM8 or JM9 with 512.pit (NOTE: You only ever need to repartition to 512 ONCE and then never again, assuming you're never silly enough to repartition to 803). Go into Recovery and Factory Reset. Then flash DTJP5, no .pit or repartition.

If it still happens, your DTJP5 ROM is corrupted/missing something. dbdata.rfs is a usual culprit, it's happened to me when i tried to use RomPackager, it didn't include dbdata.rfs into my tar.

EDIT: I wouldn't recommend Darky's Resurrection as a base for fixing your phone, I've heard it can produce a number of errors and also by default converts your /data to ext4 automatically because it uses the Voodoo kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kar200:
Hi whiteb1,

As mentioned above you would have flashed a corrupt or probably incomplete firmware. I have to say it did happen to me before and I actually have only 1 firmware that fixes this issue. It is not the firmware itself it is just that I happen to be able to download the whole package (with odin) from somewhere.

It is JPK I believe and it has all the files plus I can use repartition and it fixed something similar a few times for me. I then just flash a rooted Kernel and start again.

I think you need to find a firmware that works with repartition ticked. I think Sam firmware might have a few. This should fix your issue.

Ok guys i need some help i have tried everything i have read all i can find but still confused , I have installed Rom manager v3.0.1.0 and then did the Flash ClockworkMod which is reporting 2.5.1.2 now it says it has downloaded CWM but if i reboot into CWM it still says 3e and will not let me flash update.zip files it still says fail um what am i doing wrong any help would be much appreciated thanks guys :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thekayman:
I flashed my wifes SGS yesterday thanks to all the help from here, it was relatively painless and very easy, makes me wonder why I waited so long to do it in the first place.

To help others looking to go down the same path I used I9000XWJS3 (512 version) from samfirmware.com as per instructed loaded the .tar into Odin in the PDA area and left everything else default.

Took a few minutes and then done! ohh I did factory reset before I upgraded. Once it was updated it was in another language so had to navigate and change to English and enter in Optus' APN's and that was it!

The phone is allot quicker and can finally use hotmail / facebook navigating almost instantly!

Once again thank you to droidgt / Bluephantom3 / sxi200 for helping me out.

One quick question if I wanted to try a custom rom such as darky's etc do I use the same method or do I need to enable root access etc?

Now to figure out how the Desire HD works with custom rom's etc for my phone... seems like its a totally different method YAY!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Join the club, this threw me the ****s for a long time, I assumed it was me stuffing up, nope...

I have read, re-read and read again posts from people who have had this issue, none of the results make sense.

For ME I found that I just installed a kernel that had CWM in it, speedmod - damiengto - voodoo ---- I got the entries I was used to on my Desire HD, BUT it was not usable through Rom Manager, it kept dropping to the screen you describe, despite comments to 'just' apply the update.zip that appears when you do the install of Rom manager (TWICE some recommend) it never worked for me

So I no longer bother installing Rom manager, for now I am using damiengto for my kernel and it allows me to do nandroid backup/resotre, BUT the nandroid backup done by speedmod was not a restore-able one when I installed another kernel, I had to put speedmod back JUST to restore by backup !!

So unless there is a specific function that you need, use a kernel with the entries and you should be happy.

On the other hand, if you ever fix the issue, then please let us know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rolyb:
Thanks silashack

at least now i know its not me been reading for days and playing to no avail

ok i am on optus all i want to do is get recording of calls going but mine only records my side not the other side so what does the kernal you have do and where do i go to get it all i will go and do a search to see if i can find it all but any pointers would be appreciated
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
I believe you need http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=522486&d=1298200896

It basically installs the full CWM and let's you apply the custom rom (changes 3BR mode or something)

Apply it using Odin on your PC (ask if you don't know how to use it)

I had the same problem and thanks to silashack in solving it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rolyb:
ok i have that file and odin 1.3 so i am asuming i load the file in to PDA and run start is that all i hope last time i tried to use odin with darkys rom i bricked it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Yep, PDA, with auto-reboot and F.Reset Time ticked (default). Should take about 5 seconds...oh and make sure USB debugging is ticked (through settings applications > development) not sure if that does anything but that's what I did and worked without any problems :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Don't EVER use rom manager. If you are missing 3br, put your phone into download mode with adb or something similar and update the bootloader (flash the fix with odin)

This is all in the stickies/wiki. Some people in this thread really read first before asking questions.

I know xda search can be a bit iffy, but theres always google.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Call recording... again I did my research, d/l the apps, none worked as needed, did find something, but I have forgotten where and when... sorry :( BUT for me, not needed, I found that I have a new button on my call screen that says Record, this only appears when you answer a call, but for ME, that is it, my screen stays on that call screen and the ONLY way out for ME is to take out the battery, so I have something stuffed, but the 'thing' it recorded, nothing I have currently plays it anyways.

Apart from the legality side of things, will wait till it is a proper feature and fully supported.

Sorry I can be of no more help, but for me it don't work...

AHA remembered where I did the install of the function... I selected it when I made my rom in the romkitchen, not from any s/a app.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
OK, after flashing and running, I bow to better judgement and agree that it is better to NOT use darkys resurrection, as described it does the automated lagfixing and this can be confusing, it is also funny as hell when the phone starts talking to you, your like... WTF!!

So maybe better to go for the other option to fix issues .. see I learn from my mistakes and am happy to accept guidance :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
For anyone on 2.2.1 firmware + 2e recovery or CWM, and wants a proper, working call recording function then check this out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967297

It contains a flashable phone.apk mod file which puts a record button on the call screen. It automatically records all calls but installing dark3n's app (also available in the thread) allows you to switch auto off. That way if you wish to record a call just hit the record button and it does just that and saves to the internal sd card. It works perfectly unlike the one available in docs kitchen. Could never get that one to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
Really glad you got it sorted. Flash once and you'll never look back. Personally I never factory reset and have never had any problems. I prefer to boot up with a new rom and find the phone (apps, settings etc) exactly as before.

Ok. To flash a custom rom there are 2 ways. Odin via pc or clockworkmod via phone. Neither requires your phone be rooted. I would however recommend it, just for titanium backup if anything.

I prefer the phone based way (clockworkmod) because it allows me to download roms from the phone onto the sd card and install from recovery mode. All while watching tv or on the train or wherever. You can flash roms, kernals, themes, modems and even custom apps with this method.

Simplest way for you now is to flash a custom kernal like speedmod or damiangto ultimate. This will.give you clockworkmod recovery. Get the odin version of either and flash as per js3 (pda only). Takes seconds.

Next, from your phone download the rom you want. I prefer docs kitchen as you cook your own rom. Once done enter recovery using 3 button method, select intall zip / choose zip / apply it then all done. Boy is it addictive after that. Also, from cwm you can root the phone / install superuser as well as backup / restore roms. Best function of them all. Lifesaver.

So long as you have functioning dowload mode you can always flash back if something goes wrong. Very hard to fully brick a i9000. Good luck.
