so what did you tell verizon to let you get a replacement? this is my next step

the speaker blew out, real deal, speaker phone and ring tone were totally garbled. I was a little worried that I screwed myself with the leak, but 2 stores and the chick at the support desk said still warrantied, sent it right out. loading onto my original right now..

hope this helps in rooting 2.leak or this version for that matter..

I'm going to get my new eris at 1.5 tomorrow so I will try it out anyway. I'll post back with my results

Wouldn't it be safe to flash any rom, if you have the recovery on an already rooted phone? That way you can just restore from a nandroid or BART backup if it doesn't work?

I had the 2.1 leak so I never got to root mine.

Anyone else try this? Difference vs the first leak? Can I install this over the first leak?

I just finished a few minutes ago it works fine the software number it different from the old leak and i haven't noticed any other differences. Also it installs fine over the old leak.

new 2.1 leak

google sign in error fixed. No gmail picture fix. Thats bout it.

Is it worth trying? I read it could be faster, any truth to it?

If you have 1.5 dont install it, install my rom or wait til someone better than I comes up with a rom based on 2.1 ota.

I have been using the leak since the first day it came out.

Has anyone tried to downgrade from this leak to 1.5?

Doesn't work, tried with both the MR1 and MR2 RUU's -- Bootloader Version Error.

step 1 done:
upgraded leaked version to official 2.1

how exactly is this new version official?

now that i am on 2.1 official
step 2:
trying rooted 1.5 [FAIL] version is older
next step, try just 2.1 rooted version

RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed _with_driver.exe

Download ROM HERE
It seems to be a Verizon Droid Eris 2.1 Official ROM.
RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe

Anyone test this on their Eris yet?

Its an ruu, I suspect of the OTA maybe. Don't flash if you are root or 1.5

what about leaked v3 ok to flash?

I'm testing it right now. I was running leak v1. Will post results when it's complete.

Ok Thanks buddy

Tried it on leak v3. I still have hboot 1.49 so no change there. Other than that, the only thing that changed was the build number. It now has release-keys instead of test-keys after it. It is the OTA, just doesn't really do much for those running leak v3 and looking to root.

Flash successful HBOOT v 1.49.0000 S-ON

Conflipper, I cross-posted this on android forums .com and I gave you credit for posting it. Thank you! This will help all of the folks who are stuck on earlier non-root leaks and just want to get up to the current version (but are having trouble flashing the "leak v3" zip manually).
I've verified that the rom.zip within this RUU is identical (based on checksums) to the non-root PB00IMG.ZIP known as "leak v3" (the fourth leak).

but this may give us the ablitly to regain further updates, instead of verizon not giving us leakers no mo updates

feel free to spread the word, and get this out there. Spread the word, I am sure people will want the "Official" file.

i keep on getting error about connectiviy to the phone which i have it connected and idk,
also ever other time i try it gives me your battery is less than 30% which its at 68% so idk about that either.
i couldnt get it to work. im gonna give it another redownload and see

Your rom had "test-keys" after it before you flashed this? That means you were rooted? If so you just lost root

i think he meant he was already running leak 3... and not rooted.

Does this bring all the 2.1 Sense UI features to the Eris like friendstream etc?

Perhaps folks should try re-reading what thenestor reported up above in this very thread:
[SIZE=+1]The ROM that is bundled inside this RUU IS IDENTICAL TO LEAK-V3[/SIZE].
Don't get your hopes up if you are a leaker; this is only useful for folks who mysteriously were able to manage Leak-V1 (the first leak) or Leak-V2 (the third leak), but are somehow now unable to repeat exactly the same procedure with the Leak-V3 (fourth leak) PB00IMG.ZIP.

All the leaks (excepting the 2nd chronological leak, the "root-ROM") were shipped with release-keys.
The root-ROM was the only one that reported "test-keys".

Right! If people are on the leak and are not holding out for the slim chance of root, they should flash this. Atleast they will have an "official" release

What?
If it is IDENTICAL to Leak-V3; as far as the phone is concerned, how would it be any more or any less official?
I'm wondering, what do people think "Identical" means?
Coinflipper needs to "get the word out" that there is a new copy of Leak-V3 floating around; his OP reads as if this is something new, when it is not.
Wow, great news! It will encourage folks like the poster up above to rush out and unroot their phone.
Oh well, more power to them... or less, as the case may be.

First of all I said "those on a leak", didn't say leak v3. Just to bring you up to speed there are 2 leak versions before v3, hence the v3. It would be more official because this one WAS released by Verizon, whereas the leaks were not, which is why they were leaks. It is identical yes, but the build number is different, which would differentiate between leak v3 and this OFFICIAL release should you need to return your phone. Just because the support people might not be able to tell, someone can believe me. I know people who have returned there leak and been charged for a new phone because they had unofficial software on there phone, never even mentioning it. This was a month or more later, just showed up right there on there bill.
So, people who feel better having an official release (whether your on leak v1, v2, or v3) can flash this, it's official. If someone who has root can't read where it says this is for people on the leaks, if you have or ever want root don't update. Then that's their problem, not much you can do about that....

Captivate gets froyo?

Looks like the guys un the captivate forum just got a hold of froyo release

if that's real (haven't read the thread), then isn't it a similar hw layout so someone (*cough*eugene*cough*) could use the source to get us a more functional aosp build for the vibrant? maybe?

If that's really froyo
Their froyo build is JI6
So does that mean the JI6 we had that we couldn't get encryption key for was probably froyo?

All the Galaxy S Phones use unique firmware revision nomenclature, so I'm thinking it's just coincidence...also the JI6 leak on Kies was much smaller, more in line with a 2.1 Eclair build...

I thought it was funny on Samsungs FB page someone told them to release the code and let the devs make Froyo happen for the Vibrant.

I'm referring to the .enc archive JI6 that was on the Kies servers but blocked from the Kies application, as was the person I replied to. Knowledge of this came out a day or so after JI5 hit Kies.
Noone was able to decode that one, but it was only 188megs, about the size you'd expect an Eclair build to be, and nearly identical in size to JI5, unlike the Froyo JI6 for the Captivate that is pushing 295mb, a size in line with a Froyo build for the international SGS.

..............ignore masterotaku beat me to it
edit
another thing is they dont just have firmware its some kind of odin/firmware one click exe but still i doubt that would make up for 100MB

I am happy for the capativate guys....
*looks at my Vibrant..............*

once it's out in the open for Captivate, it will be ported to us soon
hardware's way too similar

Does this mean Froyo will be announced next week for the Vibrant and release a week after the announcement? Hopefully

captivate users got froyo and root in one night. lucky !!

WTF !
I wish I bought captivate instead of T-mobile crap !

uhm, just curious, where are people getting the idea ji6 is froyo?

Because JI6 is the same build name for Captivate and that build is FROYO. To be exact the Captivate FROYO build is I897UCJI6

Because the Captivate version is Froyo-JI6 (as posted by demo23019--see below) and far later into the day when JI5 for the Vibrant was available on Kies (the other day), a link was posted to an encrypted file for Vibrant-JI6 so that is why people are thinking that JI6 for the Vibrant is Froyo also now. No one was ever able to get the keys for it to find out more, as of this post too I believe--I have not checked in almost a day in that topic.
But as the last few posts indicate, it likely is not and just an updated build from JI5 because of the file size not being as large as it should be. See what masterotaku post.

Samsung deny 2.2.1 exists!

The plot thickens...
I have issues with updating through kies
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877864&page=51
I call samsung to try and sort the issue.
KIES tells me i can update my firmware, despite me being already on 2.2
The manager tells me that the firmware update showing available on KIES is a glitch..
He denies that 2.2.1 exists and says there will be no further update until 2.3 next year!
He advises me to download advanced task killer as that we sort my problem out???? er, dont think so!

If that's the advice you're getting then he probably doesn't know about 2.2.1 anyway.
For the record, Kies doesn't show me an update (XEU on JPX).

Sounds like he has no idea what he is talking about.
They already confirmed with other users via mail that official froyo update would be in december..
It being on kies is not a glitch otherwise they would have removed it.. Sooo stoopid.. Lol

Can't find the thread.. but there was an email from samsung saying that they will release the sources tomorrow, JPY or JPX don't remember, but for sure it was 2.2.1

..And he claimed to be the team leader!
He also said that if i managed to download the "glitched" firmware i would do serious damage to my phone and it would be my fault!
Ialready have 2.2 and presume the firmaware is 2.2.1 but even with reg hack i cant get passed the "battery charge" message so cant update...
He said advanced task killer would resolve all my issues!

Samsung also denied the Nexus S existed

Just to let you know I updated to JPY this morning from Darky's custom rom using Kies patcher......going back to the custom rom!!
Also my wifes SGS stock 2.1 JF3 never been rooted or modded in anyway, is showing the update available too, going to flash that tonight!

JPU, JPX & JPY are all test firmwares, so the manager is technically correct, that you risk breaking your phone by trying them (not that they will break your phone, but equally they are not supported roms). They haven't been signed off yet as official releases. JPZ is waiting in the wings too, and we are told that JPY sources will be released tomorrow.
Whether that means JPY comes officially tomorrow I don't know?
Also Samsung have elsewhere said the next official release comes in December, without confirming whether it was 2.2.1 or 2.3
I think we all know it is most likely to be 2.2.1 now since all these test firmwares confirm they are gearing up for an official release.
Glad to great we are likely to get 2.3 officially too next year.... although the source doesn't appear too reliable!

I don't care it's official or not. Finally it works. 2.2.1 is the first _working_ ROM from f.cking Samsung. Not a laggy piece of ****.
So I will happy with an "official" release but now I'm using JPY beacuse I would like to use my phone. I bought my SGs in september. Now it's december and this is the first time when I can use my phone without any tweak or custom ROM. It's a shame on Samsung but it looks like it's changing now.

Amen to that! I think Samsung realeased galaxy too soon because they have so consern that they have a iPhone "killer" but they failed big time and now they have pissed of costumers that have a laggy phone and we are some sort of beta testers of this crap phone, just like Nokia had make too..realeased phone too early. But its seems with 2.2.1 rom we start from cratch and the phone feels like a new phone! at last!

Best firmware?

Hello, i'm kinda new to this firmware cooking thing!
I've got an I5800L galaxy 3 and i would really like to try some new firmwares!
I've read that from 2.1 everyone chooses JK1, which i really don't know what it its!
Shall i upgrade to 2.2? I'm really bothered with the Low memory for installing lots of applications.
What shall i do? Get a good 2.1 firmware and wait for official 2.2? Or install 2.2 right now? If that, where can i get it?
Sorry 'bout my english.
Hope you understand
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Looks like everyone has upgraded to 2.2, where can i get it? I'm looking to install also lagfix, any help would be appreciated

Well,
i had installed a few versions of 2.2(cant remember witch exactly) for my wife's galaxy 3, and all had some problems... battery life less than a day for all of them.
so that was unusable for her, and than changed it to jk1, and now every thing works like it should...( except gps, witch was the problem with all the firmwares from the start).
so my response is to wait for factory 2.2

On samfirmware.com but u must sign up for free.
Sent from my GT-I5800

JP9
JP9 is better firmware for Froyo in my opinion.
JPA, JPB and JPF drain the battery more than the other.
u can get it here (u must login first) : samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm

JPF is the best and latest firmware so far. It has good battery life and performance. Lagfix improves performance furthur.
