:D Froyo JK4 Released for SaskTel - Galaxy S I9000 General

Froyo has finally been released through Kies for SaskTel I9000HKA(BWA)
PDA/Phone/CSC = JK4

thats good news. Im a Sasktel employee, and theres been a long wait for this!!
However, Ive been on Docs rom for a while with next to no issues and superior performance, so I have no plans to go over to this

I am on the Sasktel network yet upgraded via reghack to the bell JK4. Is there any difference between the two? With the registry patcher, is there any way to get the Sasktel froyo, now that I have updated to bells?

I was on doc's rom (original flavour, not the bell version) for about a month and a half, and now that I have played with SaskTel's official jk4, I am flashing back to doc's rom.
Doc's rom is faster, has better battery life, GPS lock in was almost instant, JK4 won't lock at all.
To anyone else wondering, I highly recommend using Doc's Rom over the official froyo. Doc's rom is what the official rom should be.

what version of docs rom do you use. can you point me to it.

Doc's Rom
I was using doc's rom also, much smoother and less general problems, I found, until "Damaged Internal SD Card..."
When mine finally comes back I will run Doc's rom until CM7 is released.
Doc's Specialized Bell/SaskTel Version
Doc's Magic Rom Kitchen
I was using I believe v8 of doc's rom. I would recommend it, but I can't find it and believe the rom kitchen is it's successor, which itself looks really awesome. Generate a Rom exactly to your liking, picking everything from launcher and kernel to themes and apps.

so are the bell phones and sasktel phones the same kinda thing. so if the kitchen rom needs to be installed specially for thebell phone do i have to o that for my sasktel phone.

They are always the exact same thing, except in this case the csc is different (different bundled software), SaskTel actually buys most if not all of their phones from bell.

Sasktel buys all their devices from Bell.
Along with most services are also from Bell (example sasktel max)

SaskTel Repairs
Does anyone know the name of the place that SaskTel sends their phones for repair in Saskatoon?
Mine has been gone for a month already(Dead internal SD card), and I am being told that it will probably be another month at least before I see it back.

n00b help: AUSTRALIAN Galaxy S (i9000T) Telstra - updating/flashing

Hey guys,
I have looked around here and mainly found peoples topics for the Galaxy S i9000T who are from a different country, need different firmware and have differently branded phones, hence this topic:
I have purchased a Telstra branded (AUSTRALIAN) Samsung Galaxy S.
BASEBAND VERS: I9000TDVJH3
KERNEL VERS: 2.6.29
BUILD #: ECLAIR.DVJH3
----------
From simple browsing I have determine 'TEL' or 'DV' just means TELSTRA (and T can also mean this). If looking at 'J' by itself it can be interpreted as OCTOBER 2010 (when i got the phone), but not sure what H3 is....or if it is read as JH3..
My plan is to jump onto a nice compatable version of Froyo 2.2, however I have NO IDEA which is the best and closest firmware to download and in case of any stuff-ups or compatability issues, if i need to claim my phone under warranty, I want to be able to flash back to stock firmware, which is this Telstra JH3 crap, and have no idea where I can find that.
My biggest gripe is nopt being able to have the FREEDOM to remove/uninstall/move certain LOCKED apps despite trying with various android apps and while i'm rooting/flashing, I thought I might as well get 2.2 since the "proposed" release date in Australia for it, and probably likely release by Telstra will be in December, or so I am told...screw that.
Can someone help me and direct me to the most appropriate version of firmware to download and, if available, the original stock firmware (if it has been replicated by anyone with the same phone as me?)
Thanks
RoOSTA
I've PM'd some Aussies to get attention to the post as i have nowhere else to turn to!
currently there are no safe Froyo 2.2 yet
even the original release in Europe got recalled, wait until mid November, then we might finally see some progress
for now just iron out whatever is bugging you with the current fixes, and live happy until Froyo comes out
is that I9000T a 900 band model or 850 band model ?

The Telstra I9000T is a 2100/850 Mhz model.
Yeah, OK...I'll wait til mid November, only a couple of weeks away...
Until then, what can I do to get the best/accurate/most reliable 2.1 (UNBRANDED) that will still work 100% on the 2100/850MHz bands? I want to be able to delete ALL the crap that is apparently "system locked" apps from the phone...

i have i9000t latin america versión
and i have made this flash "[HOWTO] Froyo FW I9000XXJPM: Upgrade via Odin, Root, Recovery 2e, Lagfix!"
with a unlocked csc from canada
first of all I made a backup with the rom manager, because i cannot find anywhere the galaxy s firmware of my t model
maybe you can do the same
so whats the optus ones? just i9000? funnily enough im on jg3 with optus.. where as the op is on jh3.. my phone was also delivered in mid oct 2010.
So maybe I'll just try rooting the phone to de-brand it (keeping on 2.1) then when a stable official froyo 2.2 comes out, hopefully MID NOV, just update to that?

Rooted the phone using auto method from the tutorial on these boards with ease, installed Titanium Backup which downloaded the latest or most compatable busybox (1.16 for me). I have managed to delete some "locked" apps, but a lot of Telstra's BIGPOND apps remain (downloads, movies, sport, etc) - they are much harder to find when browsing the list appLIST in TBackup - I jsut got the free version, but impressed with how much easier it has been to customise even still, as a branded phone.

@roosta...im a noob, plz can u tellme the step to step guide i soo wanna get rid of telstra apps and i wanna completely debrand the telstra galaxy s phone without installing any lag fixs like voodoo etc, i just want to instal the original eclairs or froyo from samsung for its galaxy s i9000, but im not sure how to go about because i have the 850mhz next g galaxy s from telstra. Can you help me , thanks in advance
Hi mate, as the reply I made above states, i used the galaxy S "root" tutorial,. i havent debranded hthe phone, but i have been granted rights or access to delete specific apps I dont want, so follow that. I won't FULLY debrand the phone only because I havent got the telstra stock firmware to download and REINSTATE at a later date (if i needed to for warranty purposes)
RoOSTA
@roosta, i wud really appreciate if u cud post the link, i cannot find the thread u mentioned in your reply. and secondly any idea when telstra wud be releasing 2.2 for sgs. cheers

Hi mate,
Is there any chance you can upload your stock rom, I stupidly flashed my i9000t without fully understanding the 850mhz network and now I am stuck with a custom rom and no way to access the nextG network.
If there is a way and I just missed something, please let me know.
Kindest regards,
All you need to do is root the phone which you did, and then get hold of Titanium Backup. Use that to uninstall the junk that Telstra pre-installed. But before you do anything use Titanium to make a full Backup just in case. From what I gather your phone is exactly the same as the American AT&T captivate so whatever roms/fixes they use you can use on your phone. If you notice a lot if not all phones from AT&T usa work fine on telstra as they both use 850mhz (NexG rebranding) while the rest of the world like Optus/voda/whoever uses 900mhz. 850mhz is actualy better as it penetrates walls and buildings better but problem is that only 3 Telcos that i know use it is AT&T, Vodafone NZ and Telstra so they can be expensive for data. But on a better note you can use your phone on any network as it also has 2100mhz(very congested) 3G too.
Always willing to help out a fellow aussie here you go mate

So 2.2 out for Optus, but STILL nothing yet for Tesltra for the JH3 firmware and 2100/850 bandwiths!?!
That's ridiculous...

Hey Roost,
Just wanted to check in and see whether you had any luck mate? As far as the GTalk thing goes I had absolutely no idea about that, but sounds like your only choice here is to flash back to stock Telstra 2.1 and then redo your modifications and reflash to your custom ROM.
I agree with you completely in that the delay for Telstra updates is ridiculous, but this has always been the case. Even right back to WinMo 6.5 on the TP2 and TD2, they've always been three or four months behind the trend. To best of my knowledge there's still no news on Froyo yet, which is just ****ful.
I'll keep checking your post to see if you turn anything up. Hopefully you do and it's manageable. Good luck mate.

Hey all,
Just updating: As per another thread on this board - Telecom NZ have released Froyo 2.2 available via kies. Using registry, i spoofed Kies into thinking my phone was i9000T from NZ, so have since updated to 2.2 wiuth no issues;
For me, no lag fix needed, swype works perfectly, all gps/maps work fine with accuracy and 850 band fully functional. I'd also recommend doing this ahead of Tesltra AU since i've gone from about 15+ useless LOCKED system banded apps to TWO on Telecom NZ; one being internet and the other for 'account status', so very happy with the recent update...

I think TNZ have pulled their 2.2, at least that's the last update I read a few days ago.
I've got an I9000T as well, and am on Telstra. I've flashed Docs V4 JPU ROM and it's working great on the 850 band.
So it looks like the JPU CSC does support the NextG frequencies
Do you think you might be able to list some of the useless telstra branded apps you removed? im having trouble knowing whats what the way its itemised and named in Titanium Backup.
auldar could you link to the ROM you are using at please.

QUestion regarding about i9000 and T-mobile USA

I currently have a i-9000, the 3 button version in my hand.
I'm trying to use this for T-mobile.
Somehow, I was lucky to get 3 button PDA file for JFD.
I have been using it ever since for my t-mobile account,
however...
I'm in big urge to try the ROM.
I already have rooted and done several things with my brother's
vibrant version of Galaxy S, as there is many ROM's out there for it.
However, obviously, it is impossible to find ROM for I-9000 that is
designated for T-mobile U.S. version.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem..
I know that.. if I tried something like..
rooted i-9000 with any I-9000 rom on this forum won't work,
nor can I flash the modem file only after flashing ROM on the device.
What is possible solution?
My ultimate goal is to Froyo this i-9000 and use it as T-mobile USA.
Just wondering, why the need for a TMobile ROM?
The hardware is different, so it's prob not a good idea anyway. Your i9000 doesn't support the AWS band needed for 3G on T-Mobile, so you're prob stuck on EDGE. You might as well just use i9000 Euro froyo.
I want to use the I-9000 for T-mobile USA.
That's why I want to do this.
Currently, I have JFD installed and its working flawlessly,
but I'm thinking about loading a rom, but being cautious

For I9000M purchasers in Australia - some advice

I have had an I9000 for some time but missed the Telstra 850MHz 3G service so finally bought an I9000M (Bell variant) locally in Australia.
This thread is for others that might buy this phone in Australia. ie as delivered is does not work as stated in the advertising.
As the I9000M arrived it had:
PDA: I9000UGJL2​PHONE: I9000XXJPK​CSC: I9000BMCJL2​Build 2010.12​
I did not really want to make any changes as this phone variant is renowned for internal SD card corruption and I wanted the phone to be in a condition to return it if I broke it after I stress tested the internal SDcard.
But . . as delivered is did not run 850MHz (as it was advertised it would) and GPS was pretty non functional. ie I was no better off compared to the I9000 I have.
So after research I found that the JPK PHONE firmware is pretty bad and using Odin I flashed the JL2 PHONE (aka modem firmware) and got immediate access to 850MHz.
At this stage the phone has not been rooted and if it dies I can still return it.
But now GPS is still horrible - lucky to get 2 satellites outside.
After research I found the JM9 GPS firmware update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831725&highlight=Eclair+JM9+is+very+good
But this was a ClockWorkMod image - so I needed CWM - sigh - ie a kernel update is now required. OK I found the lightest touch kernel update I could - aka voodoo added to a JL2 kernel that provided CWM as well - flashed this using ODIN. (I did not do this until I also obtained the native JL2 kernel that I could flash to return the phone to stock).
Using CWM I backed up the phone then installed the Eclair JM9 GPS firmware update and I now have 7 satellites inside and approx 5 second lock outside. I have not made any other changes ie gps.conf is still set for north America for example.
So I am very happy. Buying the I9000M was worth it.
Other observations: Native JL2 is pretty fast - activation of voodoo lag fix only made a slight improvement - barely noticeable - in fact I will run with no lag fix I think.
To do: not a lot. I will look at Darkys ROM (running at present on the I9000) as at present video payback is not seemless on the I9000M - a tad jerky and with Darky's v8.0 ROM on the I9000 the playback is very smooth.
Have you tried seeARMS version of jl2? I like it a lot. You can also try flashing the jk4 modem to see if it helps your gps problems. That has worked for some people.
Edit: if you haven't read anywhere else, the bootloader from jl2 is supposed to fix the sd card corruption issue. This doesn't get deleted when flashing other roms either.

Rooting does help with battery life

Is been 2 days I had my phone flashed with a Bell specific XXKG3 firmware and CF-Root.
I'm very happy with the results, first because I was able to remove over 60mb of bloatware running as services and second, I was able to change the service location so I can run country specific applications on it.
I know that some of you have reserve when it comes to completely changing the structure of a new phone... don't. All procedures explained at XDA are bulletproof and will make your phone last longer, battery wise.

Rooting and custom ROM literally quadrupled my battery life. It's way too bloated out of the box. Bell sgs2 also.
Bell KG3? Where?
Is from SamFirmware, generic XXKG3 running on Gingerbread 2.3.4 version. See link in first post and read the thread. Not sure if Rogers phone is identical to Bell one, I know that Bell model is identical to Europe one.

Install clean (non-carrier) rom on SGS5

Hello,
I want to install a clean (non-carrier) ROM on my girlfriend's SGS5 (SM-G900W8). This is a canadian Fido phone. The reason I want to install the clean ROM is that they removed some parts of the ROM to scam people. For example, they removed a Data Toggle from the Notification Panel. Also, I want this SGS5 to receive updates as soon as they are out, not when FIdo decides to update it.
So I searched on SamMobile and found that there are just other carriers firmwares and 2 uknowns.
So my questions are:
1. What should I do in order to get a clean SGS5 rom on SM-G900W8?
2. What are those unknowns?
3. Is the phone going to work properly on Fido if I install other / non-carrier firmware?
Sorry if these are some stupid question. I am a Nexus user and never had these issues before...
The W8 version will definitely work with any of the T-Mobile roms and most of the other roms. If you're looking for stock roms, all the canadian carrier firmwares are cross flashable, meaning you can flash the firmwares from Bell, Rogers, Telus, Wind, etc.

Thanks for a quick reply.
Would you recommend any specific firmware? Without any issues and with the least amount (or absence) of bloatware?
I recommend the pure note 5 rom available in the developement section. It's very fast, stable and awesome battery life (I get 5 hours of screen time). I suggest waiting a few days since V6.5 is coming out soon though.

Oh, I thought that It's only OK to install ROMs for SM-G900W8 only. Can you please explain what kind of ROMs I can install on her SGS5 (SM-G900W8)?
I checked the N5 Port - looks awesome. I think I will install that one.
You can install most roms that are developed for the snapdragon variant. I installed the rom on my T-mobile S5 (G900T) and it works flawlessly.
