Have any I9000M users gone from JL2 to a STOCK XWJS5 ROM?
If so can you explain the process you used and how it turned out? Did you have to flash the JL2 modem to keep 850?
Using Doc and Stefunel's ROM kitchen you can cook a JS5 ROM with the necessary modem and CSC, JL2 and BMC respectively, and leave everything else as stock as possible. I've been keeping up to date (and mostly stock) this way for weeks now, works great.
Not sure about stock kernel, but really who would want it? Other kernels like speedmod have more features, perform better and make flashing much easier.
As far as the process you can find it there. Basically you flash a kernel with Odin first, and then you can install .zip files in recovery mode to flash whatever you want.
Thanks, I'm very familiar with doc's kitchen.
Looking specifically for experiences with stock XWJS5.

Is there anyone out there that might have a factory version of eclair for the bell i9000m to flash with odin??????
You should be able to grab a copy at samfirmwares. If you dont find it I can help you out later!

Yeah I looked on there, didn't see one, for some reason all I can flash to from odin is i9000xxjp3, kernel 2.6.32.9, build FRF91.372
Worked, re-partition with 803.pit and JH2 pda...thank you sir!
you should be able to flash jh2
I got it to work...now back with 2e, what do u use?
So many official Froyo firmwares have now been released, each having its own pros & cons. With Kies being a pain, most of us are now using Odin to flash Froyo.
What I wanted to ask is that do I need to flash a region specific BASE ROM for each & every Official Froyo release?
E.g. do I have to be on DDJG6 to flash DDJP2? (Although the former isnt exactly a base ROM for the latter -more a precursor, but I hope you get the point)
No it is not the same for every rom
Jpm can be flashed directly but jp2 requires to flash jg6 first!
Yeah,
Choose the best rom for your region or other region that worked on SG3
For example : i used JPM from EUROPE region
cdesai it's right, some rom required old rom flashed before
either your phone not working
Just simply flash it using custom ROM and it's better than any based ROM

Yup if u want to flash using Kies then DDJG6 is required as it was the official firmware for Galaxy 3 GT-I5801

hi
if u want to flash DDJP2 via kies or odin u need to flash DDJG6 or u will get into a boot loop based on my experience flash DDJP2 via odin & kies
and if u want to root it latter on use superoneclick 1.7.0 it worked for me
Thank you for your responses. Based on my experience, i shall narrate below the sequence of flashing my Galaxy 3 through various ROMs (Please note that i used Odin)
1) Bought my Galaxy 3 with stock DDJG6 (Eclair) pre-installed.
2) Tried updating via Kies to DDJP2 but failed due to poor connectivity (timed out). Flashed through Odin successfully. Rooted with SuperoneClick (Rage against the cage). Deleted stock Swype apk & other relevant files with Super Manager and installed Swype beta.
3) Flashed XWJPF directly over it.
4) Flashed Indroid V3 custom no lagfix directly.
My phone is currently on Indroid and running OK(touchwood !). Some of the precautions that i took before flashing was - backed up data, backed up efs folder, deleted bootloader & sbl.bin files from every firmware with IZArc. Also i hard reset the phone before & after flashing. Phone must have ample battery charge. In case of a bootloop (which happened a day after a flashing DDJP2 i flashed again)
The only problem which i have faced since my first flash to DDJP2 & which persists till now even after flashing of multiple ROMs is that some of music files are not played on any music player (stock, custom or downloaded from market). Notably all of those files are .m4a format although some of the other .m4a files do play. A case of missing codecs which doesnt allow playing of files with certain bitrates? I suspect it has got something to do with the sbl.bin file although that's pure guesswork
Is it possible for someone to upload stock kernel file for 2.2.1 XXJPY (kernel version is 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1). Version that is flashable via odin, not cwm version.
I am about to flash my kernel with custom one, but would like to have stock kernel near me, just in case that something goes wrong...
Subquestion is:
is it even possible to reflash to stock kernel via odin once you fot custom one (speedmode to be precise)? I think i read somewhere on forum that it is not entirely possible. Does someone have any expirience with this?
Samfirmware (http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm) has all stock firmwares.
Yes of course you can flash back to stock, you just need to make sure that lagfixes are disabled if you enabled one.
But honestly, I'm 100% sure you won't go back to stock after flashing a custom kernel or rom, it's just that much better.

Thank you very much.
But, as I can see, on this page there are whole roms to flash, I wanted only kernel files. Could kernel be downloaded somewhere?
I'm on stock rom 2.2.1 with CF-root kernel.
Haven't seen a stock only-kernel when I searched for it recently on this forum.
I decided now to download the full stock rom from samfirmware instead which I can go back to in case Kies won't allow me to update to Gingerbread. I figured there's no big difference whether I flash a ROM (which includes the kernel) or just the kernel, the effort is the same.
I just learned that returning to stock ROM (kernel) will be little more difficult for me because my phone is T-mobile branded!
If I flash to a stock firmware does that mean kies will then recognise my firmware as offcial so I can download new updates through it. Thanks

You can always use SpoofFW to flash to your original firmware

No as its not the firmware that came with the phone nor its Kies update .
As post above only method once you use Odin is either a backed up copy of original firmware and yes a few backed up or spoof fw .

Thanks for your help what do you mean by 'spoof' fw

Ok, this is my real problem. JJE might know solution to it...
Before i start flashing my kernel, ROM etc... I would like insurance that if in a couple of months something dies in my SGS, like speaker or something, I can go to repair shop and have guarantiee.
For that I would have to reverse all changes to virginly clean T-mobile branded ROM.
As I understand, to do that i would have to flash it via Odin with 3 files (PDA, PHONE and CSC).
Currently, when I type *#1234# in phone I get:
PDA - I9000BOJS5
PHONE - I9000XXJPY
CSC - I9000GCROJS4
so I presume that are the files version that must be flashed in Odin.
I managed to find all files except CSC code (for Croatian T-mobile 2.2.1 ROM). Couldn't find it anywhere.
Is it possible to put some Multi CSC and then later change it to right one ( I9000GCROJS4) with spooffw?
Or there is another way to find/backup/extract CSC from my current configuration.
Or another way to get back to stock branded ROM if anything goes wrong?
I can do nandroid backup because I cant get to CWM because i dont have 2e recovery (that is one of reasons I want to flash to another kernel, to get 3e and CWM).
Please help!
I would like to use the ROM kitchen to generate my ROM, but it seems to be missing a few things is used to have. I don't mind flashing them after or somehow adding it to the ROM before flash.
I still have froyo and want to upgrade to gingerbread. I have a Bell Canada SGS and need the following.
1.) Bell Canada Gingerbead Modem
2.) Bell CSC (kitchen only has europe/other regions)
3.) Altered Phone.apk - one that does NOT have the increasing ringtone. By the time i start to hear it it always to late, if i set my ringer volume level to 8 i want it to start at 8 and end at 8.
From what i know modem and phone.apk can be flashed after via CWM or Odin, but how do you flash CSC?
You can flash csc and modem through Odin, just make sure you use the files from the right ROM. If you have a Bell Vibrant, use the Gingerbread 2.3.3 UGKG3 stock firmware.
any links for CSC that is already extracted? I found the modem.
Just put the CSC.bin under CSC and flash??
alright so i download stock Bell firmware and generated a ROM file in the kitched. Deleted the modem and CSC and replaced it with the ones from the Bell ROM.
Now i just need a Phone.apk for the ringing problem.
What firmware are you using? I'm on JVR firmware with UGKG3 CSC and modem and I'm using the non-increasing ring mod for phone.apk as well.
If you're on JVR odexed, then this should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16295257&postcount=23
If you're on JVR deodexed, then use this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16257034&postcount=20
For other Gingerbread versions, you'll have to look around the forums since I haven't searched for them myself, but they should be around
well i'm generating a rom from the kitchen and this will be gingerbread. The kitchen uses JVT, no idea about odexed or deodexed
question.. im on stock ugkg3 (rooted and unlocked) with bell but i just simply want to put a 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 firmware and nothing else. Which one works best with bell and how can i just simply flash a firmware only. I just want better battery life and get rid of that scrolling issue while browsing.
TY.
Although I personally use CM7 stable and MIUI ROMS exclusively, I have previously used Darky and S.U.R.F.A.C.E ROMS as well. I would recommend S.U.R.F.A.C.E since its light and you can decide what bloatware packs to add. Good battery life too. Either way, I always flash the UGKG3 modem for 850 bands.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I use UGKG3 modem as well. I'm on TELUS

jvt works very well with KG3 modem and csc

Thanks, thats exactly what i did. Had a few phone FC but other than that,works pretty good.
Are the ROMs (stock ROM from sammobile or here like Tweaked/AOSP/Jedi etc...) include radio/modem?
Or is the radio/modem is a separate flash?
Sorry for the dumb question.
Thank you very much.
First time unlocked bootloader user here. In for answers.
Just found a note:
You can usually flash the radio separately because ROMs dont typically include them (or if they do, its an option in Aroma). Radios are therefore not usually affected by Rom flash.
Kernels on the other hand, are typically included with the ROM so if you want to use a different one, you need to flash it after the rom. Usually your fine flashing them together without rebooting in between. HOwever, sometimes it can be quirky so I usually boot into the rom and then boot back into recovery and flash a kernel.
The android setup (account stuff) is indepenedent of the kernel so do that whenever
The Stock Rom´s from Samsung Sammobile have always Radio/modem. Not confused. The Dev's on Custom Rom's have sometime difficulties to flash it by Recovery.

Thanks. So that means we can't restore to a stock Samsung ROM (from Sammobile) without also restore the radio?

I not undestood. What You mean can't restore?
The nandroid backup never made backup from modem. The restore can't restore it.
