When will 2.2.1 be released in Australia?
Too hard to answer... ha ha ha
Prob before the US
So easy to do it yourself anyway.
Install CWM with Odin, then go to Docs kitchen and install the non-wipe version.
Bonus it shall work and is no dodgy Kies involved plus you get a real kernel, Speedmod etc and can convert the entire file system to ext4 aswell... Worth it just for the huge speed increase etc from stock..

it will be realeased in mid 2011 but in not going to tell u the real realease but i will be telling later on in the year
whats the difference between the Australian models and the Europe models? Cause I've istalled a Europe firmware and then Darkyy's ROM, works fine.
well it usually depends on what carrier your on. for example if your on optus u might get an australian open app. or if your on sprint you might get a wi fi hotspot option in the settings. the possibilities are endless... ill keep u updated on these changes

Looks like while you were looking there I was looking here http://romkitchen.org/sgs/?s=generator
downloaded the file but don't know what to do with it .it's saying I need clockworkmod recovery to install feel lazy to do the prosess. I thought it would have been a odin flash and thats it.
Still might just go for the original xwjs3 flash unless someone know an odin flash way for romkitchen?

Cwm files are flashed from the phone. Just put the file on your sd card. Then download rom manager from the market and from it flash cwm recovery. Then boot into recovery mode. Might need to boot into recovery a second time for the cwm recovery version to show. Note that this only works if you have recovery mode 2e. You can tell which version you have when in recovery mode....it shows it on top. If you have 3e just flash cf root with odin. After all is working you can select the rom on your sd card from cwm recovery and flash it. I always download roms from my phone and flash with it as well. Haven't had to use a pc or odin fir months now. I'm currently on Doc's rom JPY but who knows about tomorrow

Does cf root work with xwjs3? I have zip file, do I unzip or leave it ziped when putting on SD?? Does the file need a name??? might give it a go!
So first
1.flash cf root
2.put ziped file on sd card (asuming)
3.install clockworkmod
4.flash clockworkmod recovery, boot into recovery.
Once in recovery what do I do in recovery?
5.select rom and flash
cheers!
Really need to know which is the best modem and CSC for us Aussies. I'm on an Optus reseller here up in Brisbane and get pretty shocking reception most of the time.

You've pretty much got it. But in number 3. it's actually install 'rom manager' However not sure if cf root works on js3. I'm currently using jpy but it may work. It's just a kernal so if it doesn't just flash another compatible kernal. You will know if it works by using the 3 button method to enter recovery. If you see 2e at the top then all good.
For the zipped file you don't need to unzip. Just leave it as is. CWM recovery has an added option which allows you to select zip file from sd. you to select zip file you want to flash and you don't need to change the name. My files are names darkys...., docs... etc. You can rename them if you want.
When you flash cwm recovery from rom manager it creates an update.zip file on your sd card which normal 2e recovery uses to get you onto the cwm recovery version. And then yes, just select rom, theme, or anything else you want and all done. I currently have a folder on sd named 'flash' with subfolders for firmwares, kernals, themes, apps and other.
I just flash away anytime anywhere I like and if I'm not happy I just flash back. CWM also has a backup function which is literally a life saver. Titanium is good for apps but rom manager / cwm backs up everything. I've had problems before and from cwm recovery selected restore and all good again.
For anyone with a Telstra SGS i suggest having a look at this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907149.
Been using it for about 2 weeks now and seems to give reasonable battery life compaired to stock Telstra ROM.
Can somebody explain to me why is Wi-Fi connection so unreliable? I've recently upgraded to 2.2. release, which made the Wi-Fi connectivity worse. It got that bad that I can't connect to the Wi-Fi network in my office, but my other phone (iPhone 4) deosn't have any issues connecting. Samsung has spent too much developing their 3d TV's instead improving their mobile phones quality.
I am a newbie and have read a lot on this forum. I am confused. Is there a simple way to go from DK28 to EB13? I think I have to downgrade to 118 first?
Could someone list the methodology and maybe a link to the necessary files. I am sure this must be on the forum here somewhere, but I am unable to find it.
THANKS,
Todd
I'm seconding this request.
Just get the samung fimwareupdater.exe from their website, run it and follow the onscreen instructions
I was on dk28 and it went through flawlessly
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Well, if you are coming from DK28 and want to go to EB13, you're going to have to use the windows installer. Using update.zip will not work. The windows installer is essentially a greatly simplified ODIN which will get EB13 on there, but at the cost of wiping the device completely (but not the SD card.) Downgrading to DI18 isn't needed before running the upgrade tool. The upgrade tool will wipe it and you'll end up with a factory clean install.
It's a pain to reinstall everything (I didn't have root and didn't use Ti backup) BUT I've been rewarded with a clean install that runs fast as heck. All in all, it probably took me an hour or so to manually recover, but that's a small price to pay in my book.
Use the Samsung updater tool to completely reflash - it is like Odin for dummies
It will kill everything on your phone though, so be sure to use a back up of your choice. I just did a backup in CWM first. Then after re-rooting I did an advanced restore of just data in CWM - worked perfectly. (I did have some issues with re-rooting, but I think they were a combo of user error and PC driver error).
I made a thread that had the links...but its since been buried
Just go to samsung.com and then click support and type in sph d700 where it says device number or something, then click software downloads

You do not have to downgrade. Go to the samsung website and download the .exe file on there.
CAUTION it will delete all of your internal phone data (not your SD card), and it will de-root your phone, but you can follow the normal process to reroot.
What is the windows installer?
There are a few different ways that have been outlined in various threads.
Option 1
Odin to di18 and use the update.zip.
Option 2
Use Samsung's updater to directly install eb13. It is basically odin repackaged with a front end so you can't choose the wrong settings.
Option 3
Use clockworkmod to flash back to di18 (use the di18 with modem found in the wiki), then manually insert the original recovery so that the update.zip works
Option 4
Use clockworkmod to flash to di18 and then use clockworkmod again to flash the pre-rooted deodexed di18->eb13 update (which is also found in the wiki).

Just go to the link in my post.
It says you need 32bit windows, I have 64 bit mac and windows 7, and you need 118, I have DK28 on my phone. Still way too confusing.
Don't worry.
Just download and run it.
I did it on my cousins 64bit win 7 home premium laptop with dk28
And it took about 2 minutes to upgrade from dk28 to eb13
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I believe if you grab and install the drivers first before installing the update tool, you won't have any problems. I've heard of others running 64bit win 7 installs with no problems.
How do I wipe my phone clean from a MAC that has DK28? I have windows 7 on a vmfusion and it doesn't seem to work. When I download the update file from Samsung and apply on my SDcard it says it "E:Can't open / sdcard/update.zip (bad) I also tried just naming update.
The update.zip is not flashable from clockworkmod. It checks to make sure you have the stock recovery in place, which you don't if cwm is installed.
Use one of the methods previously mentioned.
It's confirmed that update.zip doesn't work on stock DK28?
I thought people said it worked fine.
It does, but you can't just rename it "update.zip" and expect to flash it using CWM, (most likely means you have a Modded DK28 Rom) you have to have the regular Android recovery. The stock Recovery has Blue letters I believe and CWM has green letters that is how you know the difference.
Still no help for me- I have a mac (no access to windows) and want to go from DK28 to EB13. Any help out there??
thanks!

You forgot Odin:
1. Odin to eb13 rom and modem.
Or
2. Odin the eb13 modem then either flash the deodexed rom in clockwork or flash the official update.zip in stock recovery if you have all the sprint apps..

I accidentally uninstalled Touchwiz using Titanium Backup. Since I already use ADW.Launcher, I thought its not a big deal, until I did a hard reset.
Upon hard reset, my Galaxy S tries to install Touchwiz, which of course fails, and the darn phone just crashes and hangs. I managed to get it to boot up eventually after some trouble, but I'll prefer not to have to do this everytime I hard reset.
Can someone please please send me the TouchWiz apk and odex files so that I can put them back in the system directory ? I'm using stock Froyo 2.2 ( Build FROYO.DXJPA, Kernel 2.6.32.9 ). Please email them to [email protected], or tell me where I can download them.
I know this would cease to be a problem if I just flash a custom rom, and I would love to try that in future, but not now.
Thanks so much in advance.
Easy way would be to go to the Rom Kitchin build update zip with only the Touchwizz in it and flash it from SD card via CWM.

APK might be in Perkas file stash from this forum ..###

Thanks, but I'm on 2.2, which means I have the 3e loader which does not allow me to setup update.zips which are unsigned. For this reason, i was also not able to get CWM installed. I know there's a way to downgrade the loader to 2e, but I'll rather not try that at this moment.
I agree with jje. The best and probably easiest way would be to flash 2e recovery. Chainfire has created a kernel for that purpose and as long as you can access download mode you should be fine.

Flash SpeedMOD kernel with Odin and you'll get CWM.
Hi JJEgan, anfearg, Intratech
Thanks for the advice so far. But would it be possible for me to just simply use a file manager to copy the TouchWiz apk and odex files to my system/app directory ? My phone is rooted, so I know it's possible as long as I can get those files. I'm just not sure if there's anything else that needs to be configured to get Android to use those files during setup. If this is workable, this would be the easiest route. Now I just need to get my hands on those files.
I know Odin can fix this, but I'll rather just stick to the current stock rom for now, and just add the missing 2 files.

I'm going to take a look at Odin and see if its not too risky to flash my i9000. I've flashed my old WinMo phones in the past, so flashing is not new to me. But I've yet to try it for Android. Maybe I'll give it a go.

OK, so I spent a couple of hours googling and downloaded Odin, a couple of stock ROMs, PIT files and USB drivers. Fired up Odin, followed instructions, and I'm now back to 2.1 with the 2e loader. Sweet. Had a heart stopping moment when Odin said "FAILED" in red, so i just reflashed another ROM and it went through successfully.
Looks like I'm in the ROM flashing crowd now.
Quick question : some ROMs ( like the one I flashed successfully with Odin ) contains just a few tars - 1 each for CODE/PDA, CSC and MODEM/Phone.
Others ( like the one that Odin failed to flash ) just contains a bunch of directories with files that have bin, rfs, lfs extensions.
Why are there 2 different types of ROM packaging ? Is the first one ( with the tar files ) specific to Odin ? How do I flash the other type then ? With ClockWorkMod ?

the .tar types are to be flashed via odin only whereas the ones with the directories are to be flashed via CWM(2e recovery).... mix them up and you'll be in trouble... ;-)
You only needed to flash the recovery 2e zip file through Odin from the forum .

The single .tar file with .rfs, .bin, etc. is a high-level package. It's sort of a firmware update and can only be flashed on top of an existing firmware. That is, you don't tick re-partition in odin. The ones that come with 3 separate files for CSC, PDA and MODEM are either medium or low-level packages. I think, the low-level ones come with bootloaders. These can be flashed with re-partition ticked.
Thanks guys.
Today I learned how to flash using ODIN (flashed a European 2.1 ROM onto my international i9000 originally with Asian ROM, and downgraded my 3e loader to 2e).
Then I learned to use ClockWorkMod, which I used to flash Darky's ROM 9.5 ( nice ROM, although booting up seems to take an usually long time. Not sure why ). Finally, I almost had a heart attack, twice, when my phone refused to boot after flashing. Nothing a 3 button combo to download mode couldn't fix though.
Fun fun fun. Thanks all.

Connect phone via usb and copy JVH_KC1_BMC.zip to root of sdcard
Restart phone in download mode
Open Odin and click PDA
Select Speedmod tar file
Uncheck Auto-Reboot
Check F.Reset Time (I don't know what it does, but it's always checked)
Flash the tar.
Once complete and the box says "PASS" in green, unplug your phone and pull the battery (I was told it's safe, as it's in the MIUI instructions as well)
Put battery back in and start phone in recovery with VOL UP+HOME+POWER
In recovery choose to update from zip
Choose file from sdcard
Choose the JVH_KC1_BMC zip file and update
The phone will restart/install.
Once it's started up for the first time I recommend restarting in download mode and flashing the stock JVH kernal
You can also use any kernal you want.
Let me know if I can help at all. I was trying to make a completely odin flashable tar for this but failed miserably :9
I'll do my best to answer any questions however this is my first time making something to flash for you all

I'm not sure where to put this, sorry to mods/admins if it's in the wrong spot, please let me know
Hi,
I saw your thread, and I found it very interesting for people who own a Bell SGS 9000m Vibrant and wanna upgrate to Gingerbread.
So I decided to flash the Gingerbread JVH ROM just like you did, but I need to know a few things:
1. Will I be able to downgrade to my original stock froyo after this flash ?
2. Will I be able to update via Kies in case Bell release an official gingerbread update ?
3. Right now my phone is SIMUnlocked, will I lose my SIMunlockation after the flash ?
4. And is my actual configuration right to excecute this flash or should I flash something else before ?
My configuration is the following:
Baseband version
I9000UGJL2
Firmware
2.2
Kernel
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #3
Build number
FROYO.UGJL2
galaxy s vibrant bell
gt-i9000m
Thanks for your hard work, I hope to read back from you soon.
I have exact same configuration and exact same questions as poster above!!!
Still no answer... Guess we'll have to try if wanna know...

Thanks zorxd.
I am going to try. So there is no need for me to select any Pit file or did the guy forget to mention it ? Also can we tick the repartition option in Odin?
Sorry if I ask usekess question I am used to flash android but new to the SGS flashing...
when you repartition you need a PIT file.
My advice is to not repartition unless you need it.
Too late... I did it got stuck into bootloop. I had an error when I tried to install the zip from the recovery (I had recovery 3e) : E : Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) . However, I flashed the back eclair JHL and went back to the stock eclair rom. I am going to restart from there following your intructions. I now have recovery 2e ( Somehow I can't get ClockWorkMod Recovery to load directly; it always send me to recovery 2e and there I apply update.zip to go to CWM recovery)
Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if I manage to get it done.
Still get the error E:Short write of/tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) when try to install JVH_KC1_BMC.zip from the recovery 3e ( this recovery comes right after I flash SpeedmodK15E_withLoaders.tar ...
Don't know what else to try... Help please..
I did it a slightly different way. From 2.2, I flashed a stock 3 part gingerbread rom (phone, PDA, CSC) with bootloader update using ODIN 1.82. I then flashed CF root gingerbread kernel for CWM3 and then flashed the KC1 modem from clockwork recovery for the 850 band.
Could you please show me the exact files you used so I can try to do the same ?
Aren't there at least a couple threads on how to install jvh/jvp on an i9000? Its the exact same process as those you just have to flash the kc1 modem via cwm after you are done. It sounds like you guys are experimenting too much.

Our canadian phone is not really different from all the other ones, so you don't need a special "Bell Canada" installation.
If you want JVH, you can follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
You don't have to do everything like fugumod, etc. I would flash JVH via odin and then flash CF root kernel via odin so you get CWM3.
There's also leaked 2.3.4 JVP gingerbread out, if you feel inclined:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
There's a way to enable 850 band on the different gingerbread modems, but i never bothered, I just flashed the KC1 modem for Bell which has the band (via CWM3). Search for I9000UGKC1

I am stuck in bootloop, I can't get out og it. I tried flash Back the Stock Bell Firmware but it keeps boot looping. Download mode is okay. But it started doing this I had a message like sd could not be mounted in recovery 3e. Now I can't even access recovery after I flash Eclair but Download mode is still okay...
Aby ideas ?
Have you tried flashing back the stock JL2 firmware from bell? (found on samfirmware.com)
I've never encountered this error before, I wonder if it is a problem with the bootloaders, as the official froyo firmware from bell had a secondary bootloader and gingerbread has its own bootloaders as well.

Also if you repartitioned it when you tried to flash the whatever it was when you tried you will also have to repartition it when going back down to froyo.
2.2 and 2.3 use different bootloaders therefore if you try to mix and match rom's without the bootloaders and repartioning you will get a ****y phone.

Thanks for your help guys. I didn't solve it yet, but i will open a new thread to prevent this one from getting to messy.
Here is the 100% working method. No chance to fail. Unless you make a mistake somewhere.
Download Stock ROM from below link. (thanks to Chainfire)
With bootloaders: http://www.multiupload.com/IZLCKQ3VJC
Extract the zip file to a folder. There after extract the .tar file to a folder.
Open Heimdall (you should know the drill how it works) place the files from extracted folder in respective fields .
At the place of modem, do not use the one from extracted folder. Use the link below for JPZ modem
http://www.multiupload.com/F9Z64KG9XO
unzip the file and extract modem.bin, copy in phone.
Now hit START.
After completion, reboot & immediately go to ODIN 3.1.7 download mode Oops! that’s how I worked (Heimdall & then odin ). Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition) found in the below link.

Reboot and relax a little. As you over worked
It will boot to Ginger 2.3.3
Still you cannot flash custom ROM’s for that you got to reboot in Odin one’s again.

download the last file from the list. i.e.
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip
Put in PDA and start. It will reboot and there you are ready with your flashable Gingerbread SGT.
For OVERCOME ROM 2.0 beta (Thanks to Sir Alterbridge) download the below file
http://www.multiupload.com/QW65A4Q794
copy the zip to internal SD
go to recovery, choose zip from internal SD …. Flash!
I’m waiting for BoyPPC ROM as he might probably come out with the MIUI Rom. As Mr. Alterbridge is not into eye candy stuff his work is too serious.
Is this for all verions of the SGT? IE sprint/verizon/gsm?
Odin works for me for all flash, i.e. Main rom and dbdata

I would like to know the same also, can this be flashed with cdma version galaxy tab?

Would be better to title the topic better. If you was browsing teh list it would look like you was asking for help in flashing. It would be much better to make title more descriptive and tag it with [GUIDE] and take away the "??" from the end.
Probably best tu number or bullet point, make paragraphs to separate steps etc, would give it more structure.
btw, you do know that the overcome rom that is linked to in this guide comes with a very complete and precise guide to follow itself anyway?

I felt it is quiet confusing when it says there are fifteen steps to follow when actually they aren't

That depends on if you want to back uo your apps or not, but for most people/everyone else it was clear instructions.

there was much more then just backup like rooting and stuff. i believe people who jump to ginger all ready went through all that process. i think Appbackup is working like charm plus you can save the apk's and flash to any device. or may be titanium is better not much into it though.
Ganjdroid, i was going through your Miui post. it's not that simple to get them working you know? i wish if some one can incorporate those files in a ROM and make it as a ready made dish Ginger without MIUI is like nothing but Froyo.
Sorry but there just isnt any need for this guide really. The overcome one isnt complicated at all and you can just skip past backup up upps section if you need to.
Plus you have no need to use heimdall and then Odin, you can just use Odin.
You also say to use a specific modem file but dont explain what version of tab that file is for, somebody may be using this "guide" that doesnt want/need that file.
If you want to successfully and accurately flash to GB stock or Overcom custom you should follow the proper guide in the Overcome thread.

The reason behind this post was, i shared what iv'e experienced and there are many who could not successfully port through Odin even i faced a problem with one of the tab. i feel Heimdall for flashing Stock ROM's is more friendly then Odin.

Hi,
For those who have flashed the JQ1 successfully using Odin3 v1.70, can you please advise the full procedure/config for an Android noob?
Understand that it should be:
- Repartition Enabled
- Shall I click "phone bootloader Update"?
- Pit: gt-p1000_mr.pit provided by Chainfire in the JQ1 Thread.
- PDA: P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar
- Phone: Pls advise how to use the JPZ-Modem.zip on the first post.
Edit: found the how to for the modem
- CSC: ¿?
Thanks and pls bear with me.

well, i use heimdall only for stock ROM's for rest i mean for Custom Rom's they made Clockwork.
partition check and un check play's important role also. people just ignore it sometimes while flashing Kernel's with Odin.

<< Now that I successfully completed the above steps, my tab is no longer connecting with ODIN, no COM connected (used to see COM4 before) >> old
I rebooted while connecting to the PC and tab was then detected by Windows then back to download mode > ODIN > dbdata.tar > wipe everything > reboot
and guess what nothing more than a Samsung logo when I boot the T

this is simple and for all those who think their tab/phone do not connect to Odin.
plug in your usb to the pc. go to device manager. uninstall the samsung driver which is already there. refresh the drivers or unplug and replug the usb cable. will search for the driver and install it again. there u r connected to the ODIN.
have a nice day!
