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

Updating the Galaxy Tab to the latest firmware !

Hey guys
I'm running the P1000JXJJ1, FroYo JPJJ2 firmware on my Tab, and samfirmware states P1000JVJL1 is the latest one !
so I was advised NOT to use KIES, and ODIN was better !!
My tab is rooted with OCLF set, Just a quick question, Odin will delete all my data and also I believe that I'd have to re-ROOT the device right?
another question is since I didn't have market out of the box, the product sales code has been changed to XSG.
thanks a lot guys in advance
Cheers
Jackie

if u use oclf, undo oclf b4 update firmware, kies or odin works fine for me, i'll only use odin when i screw up with my tab

and will I have to re root the device and also will ODIN delete all my data?

Hi,
searching for something else I accidentily found this thread.
Maybe my experince might be of any interest: got the galaxy tab 3 days ago, installed KIES and instantly got a message to update the firmware to Froyo JK5. I followed the suggestion to save my data which I regret later, because it took very long (had already copied a lot of videos to the internal sd) and couldn´t stop it. To cut it short:
the update was successful and nothing deleted, just everything in place. Also synchronized Outlook contacts, though at 96% it got stuck - waited a few minutes, then broke up and all contacts had been transferred fine.
(don´t know, if firmware is different for other countries...)

Odin will not delete your data if you did not choose to repartition, no need to use pit file to repartition if you are just upgrading fw from the same region..safest is still via KIES

To correct some mis-information from above. Flashing with Odin can delete your data, it depends on what components are included in the image you flash. If you flash an official ROM with Kies you should not loose your data but there is always a risk of an issue occurring during any flash that could lead to data loss. Unless you flash a pre-rooted custom ROM you will loose root and SU during a flash. These can be re-applied easily to the SGT using the Super One-Click method.
Redardless of what flashing method you use, if you use RyanZA's OCLF you must undo the lag fix before you flash, otherwise you will certainly loose data and possibly end up with a corrupt system that won't boot (I had first hand experience of this early on in my flashing days with my SGS!). You shouldn't really need to apply a lagfix to the SGT as it doesn't seem to suffer from the same lag as the SGS.
Finally, flashing with Odin can lead to product code being changed, especially if the ROM you flash isn't intended for the normal product code of your device. There are various ways to restore your poduct code, look in the Samsung Galaxy S forums for suggestions on how to do this as the basic construction of the ROMs is very similar between the two devices from that point of view. Also, be aware that people with SGS devices have reported loosing their IMEI while flashing with Odin. If this happens you will end up with a WiFi only device unless you backed up your /efs folder before you flashed. There's lots of info in the SGS forums about this and it's worth a read if you are new to flashing. I haven't heard of anyone with a SGT loosing their IMEI yet but it's worth taking precautions.
Happy flashing folks!!

thanks a bunch guys, I'm now running the latest version !!
was just trying to install the latest gingerbread theme from the forums !! will let you all know how that went

Go to the Android Development section.
Look up Overcome and BOCA for the Galaxy Tab. Both a great however I prefer BOCA. The current release is 2.3.4 but 2.3.7 is in the works.
If you follow the instructions for BOCA you will have a GTab that feels like it was newly born again.

Yes. Follow the instructions on the magrathea site or overcome
Use overcome instructions to instal stock GB 5. It tells you the pit and modem to use for your tab.
Then install the overcome kernel and reboot. It will root the tab and format the storage.
Then you install the Boca zip over the overcome kernel.
If you just want overcomes Rom follow their instructions. They make it simple

how go back from custom to stock rom

hi,
i want to go back to stock rom. I flashed back to jpm but not everything works.
or do I first need to flash back to 2.1? and where can i find that version. I would need the dutch (belgium) version?

Did you wipe data and cache before and after flashing?

i flashed to JPM its working great with my fone..and its safe since it dont have bootloaders.

Plz someone help
I can flash to JPM and JG6 without any problem but when I flash to JPQ or JPI, it always gets stuck in the Bootloop or at the samsung logo.
JG6-->JPQ or JPI (Not working but worked only once for JPI and JPQ)
JPM-->JPQ or JPI (Not working)
I had cleaned cache and data before flashing. Plz help guys. I find JPQ much more stable and usable than JPM. GPS and everything works sharp for me in JPQ and JPI.
Please help.

Same thing experienced. While flashing from JPM to JPI/JPQ, it's not working. Did not want to risk, so flashed JP4 as of now. Gps not working but no crackling sound.
Strange to see, when updated to JP4 for the first time, gps was getting locked in second and numerous crackling sounds were there. Right now, complete reverse.

I had the same issue; could't go from cutom ROM to JPQ rooted.
I first installed the original stock JPQ, then the JPQ rooted and everything work fine.

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.

Can any expert help me about my note!!

hi [email protected]!!
i have N7000 default firmware version is N7000UBKK1 İTS 2.3.6 i want to upgrade it to ICS but when i try with kies it says ur device not support update via kies.so can anybody advice me step by step how can i upgrade my set without any problem.(also ics version have to contain turkish language)
thx in advance..

Just use Odin dude, there may not be an official update to ICS for your region yet.
But you can use Odin to update your device using one of the ROMs from other regions. Just depends on whether they have your language or not included in the ROM.
Also I'd aside you use a custom kernel, you will have to use an app called triangle away afterwards but it's safer than using the current official kernels that could potentially brick your device.

but 1 month ago i face the same problem on a galaxy s2 i try it with odin flashing was well but after i test the phone i see some problems like not detecting sim card , some menus missing , also no restart menu when hold power button.also im afraid about when i downgrade the s2 back to 2.3.6 it doesnt work too well some times shut down automaticlly after this progress.so i need the best ways to upgrade my note without any problem.

I suggest you leave it as it is for now ,for two reasons:
1.flashing is normally dangerous and could brick your phone ,you need to read and learn your way around a safe flash .
2.stock ICS for the note is buggy and could brick your phone if you preform a wipe/factory reset on it ,this would mean that you need a safe custom kernel to render it safely ,thus making the operation that much more difficult for you to do.

hi first thx 4 your anwser ,but i dont have problem about flashing etc im not a new bie (im also moderator on gsm hosting) just show me steps ang give me the best files for my device

I assumed from your post count ,and your way of asking that you are a noob, sorry if I'm mistaken.
anyway if you want to flash ICS ,then I suggest :
1.flash cm9 as it is safe and fully functional (aside from sammy apps)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
2.flash a stock ICS ROM using mobile odin ,and replacing the kernel with either Franco r6 ,or Speedmod
these two kernels are assumed safe ,so you should have no problems.
good luck
