This post is just to give you a heads up that you can not downgrade from JL2. if you can please tell me how you got it to work.
I just got my phone back from bell, they could not repair it, so i got a brand new phone.
The new phone had JH2 on it.
I installed kies and it automatically update it to JL2.
Before upgrading I forgot to do two things,
1) install CWR, jl2 uses 3e and not 2e and CWR does not work with 3e.
2) unlock the phone, the unlock method needs jh2 or less, as i know it you can not get the unlock code from a 2.2 froyo like JL2.
So i load up odin, (all versions 1.3 1.0 1.7) and try going back to jh2.
it does flash, but after on restart we can not boot the phone, it keeps boot looping on SAMSUNG screen. I even tried all the pit files and checking partition.
only download mode works. so i flashed back JL2. else my phone does not boot.
guys can we NOT downgrade back from jl2 on bell phone?
I am just thinking how bad this will be for the new phones that already have JL2 installed outta the box, and you if you can not downgrade how will new users with this phone be able to unlock the phone and install rom manager or a.k.a. Clockwork Recovery
Use odin and flash a kernel that has 2e or find a full rom that has the .sbl and boot file in it and flash that.
Petsonally I flashed JL2 with kies then flashed hardcores kernel found in the android section of the forums then been flashing custom roms from cwm im on darky's 7.7 right now with the jl2 modem.

Same here...did it less than an hour ago.
1st I flashed the speed mod kernel, then installed Darkys 7.7 from the internal SD...working now so it can be done as I was on JL2 before.
Yes you can still install custom roms but you can never go back to previous samsung official software. So no JH2.

I found jl2 rom with sbl.bin
but other versions of roms like jh2 and jg8 dont have the sbl.bin file in side, and if i just flash those roms anyways then after extract the sb.bin file from the jl2 rom and try flashing it alone it does not help.
so please tell me where can i get a bell rom for i9000m with sbl.bin file already there.
also you say to flash a boot file AND sbl.bin, what is a boot file? do you mean the sbl.bin is the boot file?

You can but you just need a JH2 that has the .sbl file in it like the one Cloudstrainer provided.
b.s. dont post information if you are clueless. you can easily go back to jh2 or any rom just install a kernel that doesnt have the locked boot loader
like bln kernel , cwm kernel or speedmod kernel.

Here is a link with instructions on how to install Hardcore's Kernel once this kernel is flashed on your phone you can go from JL2 to a custom 2.2 rom of your choice. DO NOT FLASH THIS KERNEL IF YOU ARE USING UGJH2 this is a 2.2, 2.2.1 Kernel ONLY.
http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html
JK4 and JL2 both had the new SBL in there. I was able to flash via kies the JH2(or 8, can't remember) at one point when it was still available.
What does this mean for rooting and other things? Are we able to root the phone or are they going to be locking down the phone so we can't do anything anymore? If they will lock it down I can just drop it in the toilet and get my insurance to get me a Nexus S >.>
thanx for the rom. was looking for a native rom so i could actually change between gsm and wcdma, and your rom fits the bill. hope you continue to update the rom, like more tweaks n stuff on your spare time

Maybe someone mentioned this already but you can unlock with JL2. I used SGS Unlock Pro from the Android Market.
Interestling enough, I CANNOT for the life of me recover after trying to downgrade to a different rom..
I got JL2 (locked) and I tried to unlock (no luck) so I tried a different rom (yes I know how to use ODIN) Ive tried 4 or 5 different ronms with different methods of flashing.
And no luck..
Tried the orig JL2 rom again, and Im stuck in a boot loop
not much fun!
Mine is dead ather this same process
Hi , I did the same as you. I got my SGS rev 10.10 back from getting flashed by bell. They flashed JL2 in it and I wanted to try Darky's rom. I tried to go to JH2 first and the phone started to loop. So I tried flash it again and I lost download mode. I had to make the 301K usb jig to get the download mode back. I tried to flash back JL2 but that just killed the phone out right ... Now I have no screen at all. No messages or any sign of life. I called Bell and they will ship me a new one by mail in 5 Busness days.

I just got my replacement from bell, came with jl2 on it. I tried flashing jh2 onto it for three purposes of unlocking without any success. I had to go back to jl2 to get it booting again. In the ends I used the nv_data.bin modifying method of unlocking and it started working on rogers so I put the rom kitchen docrom on it, jpy, hardcore kernel and have been enjoying ever since. Hopefully this method of unlocking proves to be permanent

For those of you trying to downgrade to JH2 are you downloading the version that is linked in this thread and are you making sure Update Bootloader is checked in odin when flashing?
I also tried to flash an older stock firmware, but now my SGS gets stuck on the logo and the three buttton recovery mode or download mode doesn't work. Holding the power down and home button on causes it to switch betweeen the log and the battery

Can anyone confirm that flashing this through Odin to downgrade from JL2 works?
What settings in Odin? Repartition? PIT?
Thanks!

Yes, I confirm the JH2 linked in the thread works to downgrade from JL2. I used Odin 1.7 and put the file in the PDA and select "flash bootloader". Nothing else, no PIT no repartition, nothing. You don't need root or anything special, just 3-button mode.
Every other firmware I used put me in an infinite boot loop, this one worked fine to downgrade.
I also upgraded back up to JL2 through kies w/o a problem after the downgrade.
I'm putting together a walkthrough of how through much trial and error I came up with, in my opinion, the best way to get Darky's awesome new rom onto our Canadian Galaxy i9000M that is infamous for crashing hard, with the least amount of risk possible.
**this will take a day or two as I have a busy life...just want to help some people in my spare time so don't get mad because I'm only starting with the introduction. **
Short version (From stock i9000M 2.2 JL2):
1. Download:
Darkys rom v8.0
Latest Odin
Speedmod K12O hz=500 (Odin version not CWM!)
Superoneclick root
2. Plug in your phone, enable usb debugging, run oneclickroot, hit root. Wait for everything to finish. Disconnect. Rooted!
3. Reboot download mode. Use Odin to flash only the .tar file from speedmod as the PDA leaving everything else unchecked. Wait for reboot.
4. Put Darkys rom on root of sdcard.
5. Download rom manager from market, flash latest recovery. Reboot recovery using app.
6. Select zip using recovery and apply. Voila! Done!
7. **These are only quick instructions for someone who has basic knowledge of flashing a rom and lacks many minor but VERY important details! If you are unsure of what you are doing or have never done it before do not attempt this!!.
I only posted this because myself and it appears a few others have had a.much less painful experience by first flashing the speedmod kernel before Darkys rom. A detailed instruction for brand new flashers with no experience will follow when I have the time
A more detailed guide is available here:

The SAFEST way to Flash Darky's or any Custom rom would be this order.
1. Flash JL2 , the new .SBL (Secondary Boot Loader) included with JL2 is believed to fix the dreaded internel SD death's that so many of us had.
2.Download latest Darky's Rom and make a folder on your phone name it what ever you want and put the rom in there, you can also leave the rom in downloads if you downloaded it directly to the phone.
3. Flash Hardcores Kernel with ODIN.
4.Boot device into CWM recovery, Root device it's in the advance options.
5. Install Darky's rom , using Install zip from SD method in CWM recovery.
6.done.

if my phone is still with me (currently being thrown around by samsung)
this is the method I would use as well.
Yes this is roughly the method I used. I was nervous but it was pretty easy.
From JL2 stock you basically just need to Odin flash hardcore's kernel and then you can install whatever compatible .zip(s) you want in recovery mode (as well as root or apply tweaks).
I did a doc rom first and since I have updated the kernel and downgraded wifi drivers. No random force closes yet at all, the new board (and JL2 sbl) have my 10.08 unit running flawlessly so far.
Trying not to go too flash crazy. Although some would say to do the opposite and see if the phone will die under warranty, I think the hardware is fine but don't want the pain of trying to recover from messed up flash. So I'm waiting for a significant release before flashing a whole new base.
I just flashed darkys 902 rom and using darkys config picked speedmod (I dont like voodoo). Worked good, but had to flash JL2 modem to get 850 back. I usually run the JL2 modem anyway, just because it seems to give me the best battery life and good GPS.

Hello...just trying to get an understanding before I proceed.
1. I will be receiving a new handset from Samsung. If it already has JL2 with a newer date, do I still need to flash SBL or do the latest phones come out with a fixed SBL?
2. Ok.
3. On these particular Bell phones, is HardCores kernel the best choice or basically install what ever kernel I want to get a feel of what I like?
4. CWM, is it just a different interface or program similiar to stock recovery mode?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I bought a Bell phone, wanting to use on Rogers, but I didn't realize the severity of this internal sdcard problem.
I'm glad JL2 seems to fix the issue. Currently I'm running Eclair, 2.1.
So 1), Install JL2 as instructed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
3) Install hardcore kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
4) Install Darky's rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
2 Questions:
A) won't running Darky's rom ALSO install SpeedMod's kernel? (and an option for voodoo)? So I can essentially skip step 3? Is there a reason why I'd want to use ODIN?
B)And won't installing Darky's rom Also over write the modem in JL2, thus making unsafe for internal sd again?
(Or does JL2 refer to more than just the modem).
I thought Bell and Rogers use different frequencies, so the phones can't be crossed over.

No, They work fine. Used the Bell Motorola Milestone on Fido for a couple months before changing.
Bell SIM cards can also run on unlocked rogers phones.

I think I found my own answers:
A)Once you flash to JL2, you cannot flash CWM reboot recovery.. JL2 runs 3e recovery, but CWM uses 2e.. You'll get an error trying to apply update.zip..
You must use odin to change the kernel. I don't think it matters if you use voodoo or supermod.
B) Darky's rom actually changes the modem and you lose 850. If you want it again, take the JL2.tar file and delete everything except modem.bin.. More details here: http://cloudrainstar.blogspot.com/2010/12/xxjpy-darkys-70-ugjl2-modem-bmcjl2-csc.html

Thanks for that info. I did not know Darky 's would remove 850 band. It really pays to read through this information thoroughly before proceeding.
Thanks for this guys I was stressing to the max trying to figure out what to do for my Canadian Bell phone. This worked AWESOME!!!
Can't believe how nice Darky's Rom is.

Did you have to re-flash jl2 to get band 850?
Yea Rasher I did.
I was getting so brain fried I was trying to flash with ODIN while the phone was still on the home screen....
I finally remembered to put it back into download mode and flashed the JL2 modem back in.
WOW and WOW I can't believe how fast the GPS is.
It was non-existant for me on the stock UGJL2
Thanks again guys
Oh just incase anyone else reads this and forgot to do that, in order to use your phone in BC you will most likely need to do this guys first part of his tutorial on flashing the JL2 MODEM.bin after Darky's ROM.

If i have a Bell phone, on the rogers network. What do i need to do? If i flash darky's rom and it gets rid of the 850 band, does that matter?

What rom?...
nebula 1.0.7 from 1.0.5
I can boot into recovery and download , but not sure where to go from here
You could flashing a different rom. Or Odin to stock then reflash the rom
Do you have any backups that you can restore from? You can also try to flash it again and see how that goes. If nothing else you can use odin

how can i use odin to flash a rom? How can I add roms to my phone? It wont mount
You don't use Odin to flash a rom. You use it to flash stock kernal and modem. I mean, you could either try doing the wipe and flash a different rom. Or Odin to dk28, then flash a rom. If your phone won't mount, just stick the sd card in your computer (if you have the slot)

Do you want stock eclair 2.1 or leaked froyo 2.2.1?
To odin (flash) to froyo (even if you had eclair installed, you can use this to upgrade) follow these instructions
Download the required .tar file
Download Odin
Open up Odin and put your phone into “download mode”
Turn off your phone, wait until the lights turn off
Hold “1″ on the keyboard while powering up
Plug your device in
Place the .tar file in the PDA slot
Start flashing
Congratulations! You now have Android 2.2.1 Froyo (DK28) on your Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint!

Alternatively to odin (flash) back to eclair 2.1 you can follow the exact same steps from above except use this .tar instead
Download the required .tar file
Download Odin
Open up Odin and put your phone into “download mode”
Turn off your phone, wait until the lights turn off
Hold “1″ on the keyboard while powering up
Plug your device in
Place the .tar file in the PDA slot
Start flashing
Congratulations! You now have Android 2.1 Eclair (Di18) on your Samsung Epic 4G from Nextel!

I had the same thing happen to me when I first installed Nebula 1.0.7. I was able to fix it simply by booting back into CW and re-flashing the rom. Hope this helps you out.

This is your best bet. You have Nebula on your SD, boot in CW, reflash right over what you got. It should boot. If not you have no choice but to Odin to stock then try again.

To stay with stock dk28 (not recommended because it isn't stable), you don't need to odin anything other than the tar I described.
For custom roms, you will need to reroot using the one click method described here.
This will install clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 which will also reformat your phone to ext4. After this, you can flash your custom ext4 dk28 rom of choice (I like bonsai).
When you Odin, you already get the modem.

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
Note:
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...

1. yes, it's possible
2. yes, but you would either need to downgrade first or do a kies hack
3. no
4. you can do it straight
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:

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

Okay I am really starting to freak out now...
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.

I imagine you'll need the stock bell firmware as said above and also the proper PIT file to go along with it.

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.
Hello Everyone.
I have read so much negative comments on people bricking their GNote by doing data wipe in CWM. So I have steer clear from anything that has a LPY kernel and my GNote is not rooted and no ClockWorkMod Recovery has ever been installed on the device. It is a pure Stock GNote.
Yesterday I decided to go jump a cliff and install ZSLPF stock rom using the PC Odin v1.85 with every boxes ticked just as it shown on the web. Yes the works.
re-partition tick
pit tick
bootloader tick
pda tick
modem tick
csc tick
Installation ran smoothly and everything started up with no problem except a couple of bugs I found in the OS.
1. double click home to start voice talk. program start but it is not register anything from mic. have to cancel it to start again for it to work.
2. Network error occur while accessing Youtube App from a link within an email, but accessing the same link using Internet browser is fine.
3. Don't really like the S Bookmark widget and I miss the buddy widget from Touchwiz
Base on the above reasons, I would very much like to drop the rom back to Gingerbread. But since I have flashed the pit and bootloader from ZSLPF when I upgrade. I'm not really sure which would be a better way to downgrade it:
This is for a pure stock, un-rooted, no CWM only has stock recovery and no custom rom has ever been installed on the device.
I ask please if anyone can help me choose the following. I'm comfortable flashing using PC Odin
1. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom over the stock ZSLPF stock ICS
2. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom with pit and bootloader
3. other suggestions from above
Thanks in Advance
Bad Idea my friend
I think u got bigger things to worry about especially the eMMC firmware bug since now u are in line to receive it by moving to ICS
once you flash the bootloader, you cannot get back to GB already...
I have flashed to LPF via MobileOdin. I had to restored to gb via Cwm recovery from lpf after I changed something. After that I flashed back again using mobileodin.No issues.

err.
i was able to restore to stock GB via pc odin with pit and repartition and the GB i chose only had the one file and no boot loader.
I did this so that i can move to CM9
so IT is possible to go back to GB.
Sorry to OP. Just seen the post saying do not post any question. I will start this thread in the a&a again. Very sorry

Did you use the pit file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530501
I'm planning to use the above pit file and bootloader to flash the phone together with a directly rootable rom.
But let me gather my courage first

Yes that's the pit with repartition checked
I flashed back to a rootable gb
The rootable gb did not come with a bootloader so it's safe to revert to
I then rooted the gb and went back to cm9 all in all a 15 min process

Are those links only for pit files or do they include everything? Do you have to use a pit file for going back to GB?

Thank Nandihno
I have sucessfully downgrade ZSLPF ~ ICS to ZSKJ6 ~ GB
I used the pit file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1530501
I used the Bootloader file from here: (It might not be necessary, but I did it anyway)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23052721#post23052721
I choose ZSKJ6 because it is a direct rootable rom
Flashed all of the above using PC Odin v3 1.85 with re-partition ticked.
The installation process went smoothly but the restart was a little bumpy. Got constant FC error at the "Change Language" screen and goes any further. Have to go into stock recovery to preform a wipe on data and cache and woa'la. It's all Good and Happy Days.
Thanks again Mate
