Flash your phone using ODIN.
You can get your firmware from samfirmware.com You will need to register with them.
It's upto you what firmware to use, maybe try I5801ZFJPE Thats a Asia firmware, or I5800XXJPM Thats Europe
All the flash programs are on samfirmware.com
Hope this helps

After Rooting the warranty of the phone is void...right??
And I downloaded the ZFJPE firmware but I think it doesnot contain all the files needed by ODIN...as in I couldn't find the PHONE image...Need help in this
And Can I use the europe firmware in India???

Yes your warranty will be void.
follow this link for flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880
Goto youtube and look for rudolf895 videos. He has some good ones for flashing
Maybe best just flashing the India firmware.

I recommend you to flash the I5801DDJG6 from samfirmware..
That's the one that our fones came with.. It will work for sure!!
..and the file has to be loaded in "One Package" after checking the "One Package" Option..
..you will also have to load the OPS file provided by Samfirmware..
That's about it!!
Nothing to worry about!!
Amd by the way.. That is NOT a brick.. It's a semi-brick!! :-D
..and your warranty won't be void in case if you totally brick your fone!! ..I got mine fixed after having bricked my fone.. Didn't have to spend a dime!!
But, trust me.. You don't wanna brick your fone!! plus, the Service Center kept my fone with 'em for over 3 weeks!! X-(

Haha..
Good to know that I could help!!
..and No, your fone is still not rooted after the reflash.. If you want it rooted, you will have to root it again..
..and if you want to flash to Froyos now, first flash I5800XXJP8.. Then you'll be able to flash other ROMs like JPM with ease..
Or you can flash any other I5801 ROMs directly, I guess..
Can't provide the links since I am on my fone.. Search for those ROMs on samfirmware.com..
If you want a Custom ROM.. Try Lestatious!!

In the settings -> About Phone -> Kernel Version it shows

What root stands here for If my phone is not Rooted?
And about Lestatious..searched it ..There are a lot of versions available so which version is suited for our Galaxy??? I suppose you are using Lestatious on the same phone...can u help me in that too???
And is the method of flashing same as the one i did for DDJG6??

For rooting DDJG6.. There is a file somewhere.. Which I don't remember..
But I guess.. You'd prefer to have Froyo Custom ROMs, right??
You can find Lestatious in the Development Section of our Galaxy 3 forum..
For using that, you'll first have to flash
I5800XXJP8 -> I5800XXJPF/JPM -> Lestatious 1.2.6
And then update to 1.4.5..
And the flashing method is the same..
Except for updating to 1.4.5.. For that you have to run "Update-ROM.bat" provided in the thread and follow the instructions..!!
Not at all difficult, only time-consuming!! :-/

No you dont have to...you can just flash from DDJG6>lestatious 1.2.6 and then use the update.bat file for 1.4.5
For flashing from DDJG6 to lestatious 1.2.6 build use odin and for 1.4.5 use the update rom.bat file

Thnx for clearing this..
But I am unable to get "lestatious 1.2.6" ROM...in the development section also theres only 1.4.5 version.....can you provide the exact link to 1.2.6 or correct me if i am wrong somewhere in understanding!!!
Thanks

And also which one will be better
Lestatious or i5801ZFJPE which is 2.2...

It might work directly flashing to Lestatious 1.2.6 from your ROM.. Haven't tried it though.
Sent from my GT-I5801 ACID Lestatious V2 (Bulid 1.4.5.1)

yeah got 1.2.6 ..
Lestatious v2.0 (Current Build: 1.2.6) - Base ROM JPM - Will Wipe Your Phone!
but base rom given should be JPM...and mine is DDJG6...It wont create any problem na???

i haven't used lestatious, i myself prefer kyrillos's ROM (another custom rom)
download the file to check if u can flash directly from ur current rom
if the file u downloaded has multiple parts like csc (or)pda (or) Phone then u must flash first using the jpf firmware from samfirmware.com
if the file is a single file with any other name than specified above then u can flash directly from any rom

dont flash the bootloader and nothing serious can happen. Custom roms dont have it, some stock roms do some dont. check before. if its multiple package even if you get it you dont have to flash it (and you shouldt) but if its one package you have to check

well the file of lestatious i downloaded is a single .tar file
LestatiousROMv2.0(1.2.6.BUILD)
which has init the following contents
cache , datafs , factoryfs -> all this .rfs
modem.bin
zImage
Now from DDJG6 if I flash my piece clicking ONE PACKAGE in ODIN using the above .tar, will it go smoothly or will give me headache???
And also I should use the same OPS file which I used previously for flashing with DDJG6?

Follow my MIUI Easy Install Guide and Stop at Step 2, this will revert your phone back to Froyo 2.2.1
Regards,
I have this problem too...
I want back to Froyo for now, wich rom has inside the froyo bootloader ?
I've tryed the jpx but have infinite bootloop
I think that the problem was that inside haven't the bootloader and with the 2.3.3 version it's incompatible the 2.2.1 :-\
Please give me info about a rom wich include all and flash completely and working a froyo stock rom

I think your main problem is that you have to flash a rom with 3 files and with PIT-file with re-partition checked. Did you do that?
For bootloader JS8 originally have a bootloader in it.

or use JM2 (2.1), it also has bootloaders
Same problem
I tried all available ROM's
with 2.2.1 to2.3.3
with wipe, hard reset
nothing help
If you had 2.3.3 running and you can get to download mode, do not touch the bootloader or reparation. Just install 2.1 zimage and factoryfs with heimdall. If that gets you booted, go on and do modem.bin and csc.
It is very risky flashing boot loaders. Once you can get to download mode, do not repartition or change boot.bin or sbl.bin. All boot.bin and sbl.bin do is get you to download mode or load zimage.
The boot loop is caused by a zimage/factoryfs mismatch.
I use heimdall because it lets you flash individual files.
Darkstriker has the Dutch 2.2.1 XEN with bootloaders on his file mirror. I reverted back from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1 because I'd rather wait for the official update as there is in fact not much difference between the two of it if you just want the stock ROM.
You can find the link to his mirror at the end of everyone of his post in the thread: " [HOWTO] [REF] [FAQ] [Guides] [Tutorials] Flash/Root/ADB/ROM [MUST READ!]".
Search the original firmware from January 2011 and flash it with Odin. It'll revert with bootlaoders and then you can re-flash the froyo version you want.
ezrom has bootloaders and is 2.2.1
Use the JPU rom: has the bootloaders.
However, to know if a rom has a bootloader, you should find low in the file name of the PDA.
"I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar"
After flashing JPU, you can update the phone to your favourite rom (JS8, for example)

Do you need to tick update bootloaders in odin

Use Darky's Resurrection ROM - with this ROM you can easily revert to 2.2.1.
I want to downgrade my sgs from Gingerbread to Eclair, to have a fresh and new start.
I downloaded from samfirmware a eclair firmware. It includes:
- CODE_I9000XWJM1 (inside the file, there are a sbl.bin and a boot.bin file, does that mean that I have a bootloader for eclair?)
- CSC_I9000OXXJG7
- MODEM_I9000XXJG6
- s1_odin_20100512.pit
Are these files good?
Should I tick "update bootloaders" in odin?
I'm scared to do this because I don't want to brick my phone.

this is a firmware, that disables 3 button combo! stay away from it! and it is ages old. you should use jpu or js8 with bootloaders if you want to have a fresh start.
Avoid Eclair ROM, some have fu**ed SPL which disable the 3 touchs combo for Recovery and Download.
hey guys, I tried both JVK and JVB stock roms and decided to revert to 2.2.1 JS8, I had no problems with flashing it, but i dont know if i`m with JVB bootloaders or whatever u guys talking about.. So my question is how to check if I`m with/ without JVB bootloaders.
P.S I have recovery/ download 3 button mode active as well
And if it`s not a problem, can someone explain to me what is boot loop and if I`m running on JVB bootloaders on 2.2.1 what problems can this cause to me?

if you flashed jvb over kies, you will have the bootloaders. if you flashed the jvk leak with the sbl one in the end of the filename, you also have the bootloaders. the best way to check is, is to open the firmware's -which you flashed to get gingerbread- pda or code file with winrar and look for sbl.bin and boot.bin.
i am running on js8 stock with speedmod with jvb bootloaders as well.
it will neither give you something, nor take anything from you. they are completely backwards-compatible. if you can enter download mode, which you can, everything is fine.
a bootloop is a situation, during this the device will not boot, it will keep repeating the boot animation or will hang on galaxy s logo.

How to Remove bootlodders

I've read that we should remove bootlodders before using odin.
I read that its possible with cygwin or something in linux but not with windows...
So, is it possible?
I've installed to many times with odin without remowing bootloaders...
May this cause damage to phone?
I've battery problem even with a new battery...
May this a reason?

Can u tell me about total commander or other?
You can use total commander to remove sbl.bin and boot.bin(or something like that) that way there's no boot loader in the single tar file. If its not single, just don't place the bootloader file in the section in Odin.

Give more details like what you have done ? What version you are using ? Rooted ? blah blah
If i had a penny for every time i heard this!
Dude use the search...
use dr ketans guide in sticky section devlopment.
flash a kernel that is appropriate for rom, stock or tw based for ics stock roms
cm9 or custom, as it says in first post of thread of kernel for aosp/aokp roms
if you are not flashing a rom but only kernel as you suggest that is.
However if you are flashing a rom, then it looks like you superbricked your phone. Probably by wiping or factory resetting your ics on a unsafe kernel, all stock roms.
in future provide more info, even if it feels irrelevent to the issue at hand, only then can the commubity help you better.
now if you superbricked, and you havent flashed anything yet use your samsung warrantee, if you have flashed search for methods in question and general threads on how to fix it

Welcome to the league. You are superbricked. Try using pit file+safe GB rom. If u have factory reset or wiped data being on an ICS or unsafe kernel, u r superbricked. Get to the hg42 guide asap. Good luck :good:
