Help me upgrading to froyo.. beginner..

Hello,
I am using Samsung Galaxy S I9000.. It is running on firmware 2.1 Eclair..
I want to upgrade it to Froyo 2.2.. I heard the JPA is fastest rom available for Galaxy S..
Please suggest me the best ROM to install on my galaxy s for speed and performance..
The baseband my phone has - I9000DDJG4
Please help me, how can I upgrade my phone to Froyo 2.2.. I've seen lots of ROM available in Android development section but don't know whether they support my mobile or not.

you need 20 minutes
1. 3br fix if not working, easy one from Richtrofen - flash bootloader with odin. (most risky part, but I do not find post with bricked phone when you patch both bootloaders at once), for me worked well
2. instal z4 root to root your phone
3. instal terminal and backup /efs folder
4. instal rom manager and download Doc rom v9 and instal it
Very stable and great rom, for the first time my gps is not lost every few kilometres

i dont want to flash im afraid what causing my phone aside in stock in SE LOGO any suggestion?
EDIT: if i flash this using other firwmware what firmware should i choose? and even im on other firmware im able to updgrade to 2.3 this coming update form sony?

please anyone? or some help from pinoy, pilipino here.

When you install or add new tweaks to the phone.. first you should make a nand backup of the Rom. did you install the Xrecovery? because there are 2 .ZIP which allows you to install or remove the JIT. try to find thoose zip and remove to see if it works. and remember to always make a backup to prevent to flash the device again and loose everything

yes i install xrecovery the latest one. i do some search but i dont if this true JIT is not compatible with mobile number SO-10B is this true?

DO NOT install JiT if its already installed, it will break your FW and you will need to reflash. Flash global generic and try again. Only try and install one time, the only way you'll know its installed is by benchmark score improvements.

well honestly i would choose this "2.1_2.0.2.A.0.24 with DualTouch already in HERE just need to flash once" and then install a custom firmware because i believe they already have jit installed (but please correct me if im wrong)..

Definitely global generic 2.1.A.0.435. It is newer and has dualtouch, and you will be certain to get the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update directly from PC Companion or SEUS when available.

On Japanese fw jit cant work correctly.
If you wanna use jit on Japanese fw,you must use goro's.
Search with google in Japanese.
Then you'll find it soon

no jit in japan?? bruutal

thank you all for reply and information this will help me a lot thanks again.

If your gonna flash new FW and root you might as well install a custom ROM. All custom ROMs have JiT enabled so if you go custom DO NOT, under any circumstance, try and install JiT.

I think they are separate. You won't lost your sim-unlock once you have flashed your phone.

that's i think too thanks for info. thanks again.

Warranty, well yes. But you can always gain back your warranty by flashing stock ROM. And IMEI you won t lose, if you follow the steps of flashing correctly.
If you want to backup apps and data that you have, then root your phone and use titanium backup. And if you do decide to root. Also do backup your IMEI. All the tutorials are there in the roll up thread in the development section.
Live free flash hard.

good, but i bought my phone from t-mobile macedonia.. they have modifed roms with some of their logos how to back up that rom?

you can backup by using Clock Work Mod recovery but you have to install that first. but it will backup the custom recovery with it or you can output your rom with kitchen v2.0 or 3.0.

I know your feeling i was also afraid for my first flash.. I first flashed euro 2.2 stock rom and then kryllios non oc and it was a great feeling look up on youtube how to dump your current(backup)

New SGS2 and need advice on which ROM to flash (or better way to uninstall)

Hi all,
I just traded a SGS for an Iphone4 for an SGS2. I used to have my SGS rooted and custom ROM because it was sort of necessary for that phone. I would think that it is not neccessary for the SGS2, but... I'm in China and the phone I bought has QQ Security, QQ phonebook, and 360 Security and a bunch of other junk on here as a system program. I hate Tencent. I hate everything about Tencent. I will not trust this software on my new awesome phone.
I tried to uninstall this garbage with Titanium, and it said it uninstalled, but then it was still there. So I guess I need to flash a new clean ROM. Which is not what I want to do, but so be it.
My baseband and stats are as follows:
Android 2.3.3
Baseband I9100XXKE7
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
QUESTION 1: What ROM is close to stock, has a decent set of the new Samsung programs?
QUESTION 2: I would prefer not to use ODIN, as my USB system / drivers on my home computer is messed up and my SGS and SGS2 cannot connect. Can I do a CWM flash of a ROM (used to be able to do this with most ROMs on SGS if I was upgrading to a similar ROM)? If so, which one is compatible with what I have?
Thanks.

1. If you want to stay close to Stock... then go ahead and flash a Stock Firmware..for example KI4 (2.3.4) or KI3 (2.3.5)
2. Nope you have to use Odin to flash at least a custom Kernel to get Clockwork.. only with Clockwork you can flash other Customs Roms but not stock Roms

You probably have Chinese firmware, which means you cannot flash normal firmware on there, it won't accept it, it is somehow protected.
Dial *#1234# in the dialer and post what you see there.
There is a modified build somewhere here on xda, to which I cannot find the link now. You can probably find it, since you are not the first one with Chinese firmware who wants to get rid of it

pda:i9100zske7
phone: i9100zskf4
csc: i9100zskf4
BTW it is rooted and there is a recovery mod on it now.

Q: I can't flash from recovery, I get an sdcard mount error.
A: It seems to be related with phone's who are using version 2.51. To solve, try to flash any recent SBF file. If you want to do a nandroid first, check if SD Recovery works for you.

So the SDcard problem seems to originate from the version. The solution which has been provided is to flash any recent SBF file. This is where I am stuck at present.
1)What SBF file is recommendable?
2) is it really required to do take a nandroid image?
Perhaps something to mention: I am working without phone SIM and with a 2 GB Kingston SD card.

Flash a froyo ROM, root and instal 2nt init. Best a non blur ROM (then you don't have to register)
If you don't want to go to eclair (void warranty, official upgrade for your country) you don't have use nand. Nordic is a good choose.

Hi,
thanks for the reply, greatly appreciated. No, I don't want to go back to eclair, since I do not have any warranty anymore....
Where can the ROMs be obtained? I stumbled onto the website as provided by Moto defy a beginners guide (grrr, I cannot provide URL's here) where a whole list of SBFs are given.
However, Nordic seems to be a Gingerbread SBF? Which one to pick in order to get CM working?
Thanks! TY

Problem has been solved.
I updated the phone with Motorola update manager to version 2.2.1.
After the update, the installation of CM worked perfect.
Regards, TY
