Do you use lagfix before updated to Froyo?
Yes, untouched froyo feels more laggy than eclair, but the custom froyo ROMs is really fast like the Doc's ROM or Tayutama ROM or Cognition ROM (Captivate) or ...etc
I recommend to update the kernel to the one with lagfix (ext4 or jfs), but I don't know which one is the best since I'm using the Samsung Captivate (AT&T version of Galaxy S, and the kernels are not excangeable between Captivate and i9000 Galaxy S)
Or, you also can use the custom froyo ROMs like I mentioned above..

No I did not use any Lag fix or such kind of software.
Also I am experiencing a bug in Samsung Kies, When I update my phone to latest software and again if I connect phone to Kies, it again gives me a notification of phone update to the latest firmware again and again.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

I have laso updated it yesterday, it is quiet laggy than 2.1, I laso applied lagfix, but it is not as responsive as 2.1, seems like it is related to JIT compiler which is not optimized for hummingbird. Waiting for cyanogenmod

Hey guys....what's the rom version number?

Long update process
Did it take long for you people after the froyo upgrade for phone to reboot. Its already been 10 mins and I see blank screen, though button lights are on and phone vibrates after few minutes.
thanks

Hey guys.. Updated my sgs to froyo yest.. As u guys mentioned the phone is quite laggy compared to eclair.. But after restarting it for like 10 times nd after using it for sometime, there was a considerable decrease in the lag.. But even so it's not as responsive as eclair.. Hope samsung fixes this soon in the next update..

were you on a custom ROM with lagfix before? that may be a problem. if so, reflash to DDJG4 using odin and then retry kies update.

i Have upgrade my galaxy s to Uk Froyo with Registry edit in kies befor
now the official Froyo in india has been released
How to upgrade now to orignal indian rom
Kies says....This device's verson cannot be upgraded
pls help

Solution to lag for Froyo
1) Do Factory Reset before and after upgrade.
2) Wipe Cache Partition.
This will boost Froyo Experience for sure...

Use, Kies Registry Patcher to fool Kies.... Look for Galaxy S India Thread in here ...
Or Search for Kies Registry Patcher ...you will find it...
from there, you can hack Kies to detect your org. firmware.... ;-)

Go into Recovery mode...i.e., Press Volum Up + Home Button + power button to gather....
There you will find both options...
No, it will not remove data of your SD Card...However, you can back up that data using Kies...since, It will remove Contacts for sure.

I did take a backup of all things important for me.
Have you updated to official Froyo for your Samsung Galaxy S Gt i9000 and what are you views on a personal level? (This is assuming you have Samsung Galaxy S Gt i9000 )

I installed Europe JP6 first ....
Later on I installed Asian JPD
and Now i am on Indian JP6.
Personally, there is a lot of performance improvement done in Froyo. I dont see lag that much....However, i always prefer Factory Reset before and After Update.
Frankly, You should get the speed after following the steps.

Thanks for your response, i will try and update my phone, and will post my results.

Hi,
Me too using the asian JPD version but have an impression that its great after upgrade and reset but after use for some time it becomes less responsive and laggy.. Anyways since you switched from JPD to JP6, how is the performance for JP6? Better/same/crappy? as even I am thinking of the same.

Well, from my point of view, its similar to JPD. However, you will notice some lag in some apps only. thats due to FAT32 filesystem being used by Samsung instead of EXT2.

[FW] New Firmware - 2.3.20

Hi all,
We have a new firmware, 2.3.20
I think it's enough to write
Regards.

Damn, and I just switched over to UrukDroid. What am I supposed to do now?

switch back to stock or wait until urukdroid devs merged the changes into urukdroid

Some tests with the new firmware should be done.
Can it be downgraded back to 2.1.08?
Is archangel working?
Anybody volunteer to being the Guinea pig?

Because they have changed the format of the Medialibrary, they prevent the downgrade.
Wifi channels above 10 are not working atm.
Otherwiese it feels better.

It looks smoother than before. And I had somr problems with some piano apps before there was no voice with some of them. But now all of them working. I don't know it's related with fw though

On my archos 101 the browser is now much smooter and multi touch zooming is better and everithing is lot faster even some games aren't so laggy.

Apparently Archangel does not work anymore.

Holy **** archangle wont work any more (thats true). What now? Will there be uptate for archangle.

a) if Archos really closed the leak which archangel was using to gain root privileges, they have to find another leak and you have to wait until they found it
b) you have to use the SDE root method (which will be available as soon as I get my A101IT back from Archos)
c) life without root privileges

I installed 2.3.02, but the downgrade doesn't work (the update is too old...).
Is there an other possibility to downgrade?

No, no downgrade possible.

Does upgrading to newer fw clears/deletes my current files? Im still using 2.0.71 fw.

Nope it won't delete your files

Is this actually still 2.2, despite the release #?
Also, anyone else out there use Move2SD enabler (root) and then do this upgrade? I am a little nervous what will happen with those apps that were previously moved to SD in this non-standard way.
Thanks,

Archos release numbers have nothing to do with what version of Android that is being run.
There is no root in this firmware yet so Move2SD will not work. The regular apps2sd that is built in to Froyo will work though.

Thanks for the quick response.
I still am unclear what will happen with the apps that I already moved prior to the upgrade.

They won't work. At least that is my guess as I have never used that program before.

Is it worth it though?? Your thoughts....
Ok, I have my A101IT rooted via Chulri's way and it's running smooth n' sweet but I have a question about this apparent new updated Firmware Version 2.3.02? Am I correct to have understood that ..."there was a leak but the leak is currently non-existent and you can't get the new 2.3.02 Firmware any more"? If not, where can you get it... (I.E. - Posting a link to it)?
Also, with those of you who have tested this new Firmware 2.3.02 and/or are currently using it on their Archos 70/101IT tablet (granted it's possible to install right now)... is it worth updating to AND other than "not being able to downgrade because of the Media Library issue are there any other reported issues or areas of concern? How about any advantages over Froyo 2.1.08 WITH full Root Access (which is what I currently have)? Would there be any improvements in things such as Overclocking speed and lag issues with this new 2.3.02??

OK that's my first post here,
I had urukdroid 0.7 installed. I restarted in android mode and downloaded the AOS FILE, then restarted an proceeded with the upgrae. I dont have the root rights anymore but can choose to start in android mode (2.3.02) or in developer mode (urukdroid) 2.1.8 , I can remote control the Archos 101 from my Samsung Galaxy S iin android mode not in Urukdroid. The bootloader is 4.04.000000. I hope it helps.
The other problem is that I had to dislable the screen autosleep as it doesn't wake up anymore in android mode (That's not the case in developer Urukdroid mode).
PS: I still have the root rights in Urukdroid (developer mode), I had to clean the Titanium backup cache as it didn't showed anymore the applications.

[Q] Help rooting Galaxy S I9000 - 2.3.3 XWJVH

I am having a few problems with rooting my Galaxy S.
I have looked for hours at different threads about different root methods and different kernels but I am not sure which root method and kernel to use.
I am running Gingerbread 2.3.3 XVJVH. Can somebody give me some advice and provide me with a link to rooting instructions with your preferred method please?
Thanks
RobWill116

Hy!
I'm using already rooted kernel's like SpeedMod.You can try with this---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519(but this is for 2.3.4 but should work on 2.3.3)

I have tried all root versions with JVP, almost to the point to brick the phone and I came to the following conclusion why do all the kernels remove the bootanimation sound????
I reinstalled the original stock JVH because JVP has a huge battery drain not explicitely on the usage settings but with the same usage of applications on a daily routine the phone wouldn't last 14 hours. With JPY and now JVH, the battery last almost 48 hours.
I just want to have root to install the daily briefing from JVP and to calibrate the GPS but there is no rooting method nor kernel which stick to stock rom implementing only root, busybox and su and the rest to remain untouched....either the bootanimation sound is removed or you get extra tweaks when you are not using it...so anynone for a minimalist rooting?

Try fuguroot.

Tried it. it removes the boot animation sound, so all the other root method...

You could try with one-click root but i'm not sure that will work on 2.3.3

Flash speedmod kernel
Apply root from recovery
Flash stock kernel
Or flash ramad's deodexed jph with's pre rooted

just put the boot sound back yourself!

Thanks for all the replies! I think I'm going to give fuguroot a go sounds the easiest haha
Just wanted to check firstly, is there.no root with JVH? Just the fact a lot of people have said it has the best battery life

Hmm I'm using Chainfires CF-Root. It works perfectly with jvh. Although you need to use odin to flash the kernel. But I don't think it's a problem for you if you know how to flash stock rom.

Thanks I might give that a go as well. I new to SGS flashing, had X10 but O2 couldn't fix it and didn't have anymore in stock so gave me SGS instead! I'm sure I'll find some instructions anyway - unless you want me help me out further and post a link

Note! You really should be sure that you are on JVH and please read the thread I linked to you carefully. In cause you would brick your phone. I bricked my phone a couple of times already by doing something else stupidly. However here in Finland Samsung is kind enough to fix it for me always. Even I explained that I bricked it by flashing some other roms myself
Again If you are indeed on JVH. then:
1st. head to this thread by ChainFire himself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108&highlight=CF-ROOT
2nd. search for "CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip" to download.
3rd. Unzip the file.
4th. open odin and load this file as PDA.
5th. put your phone into download mode and then connect to your computer.
6th. flash and done.
One thing you might want to know. ChainFire Root removed the booting sound as well. But it keeps the original boot animation.

[Q] After flashing back stock ROM, the phone keeps blinking on the boot screen (HELP)

I am in desperate need of help you guys! I screwed up so hard that I don't even know where to begin...
THE SITUATION:
-Right now when I go to turn on my phone, it will only stay on the current SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen (the very first screen when booting your phone) and it keeps flashing in and out.
Before trying to use Odin to put back the original Kernal on my phone, it was just stuck as the SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen, still wouldn't start. <I followed this website step by step>
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...-to-a-stock-rom-after-installing-darky's-rom/
BEFORE ALL OF THIS EVER HAPPENED:
I finally rooted my phone and manage to download Clockworkmod recovery on my phone and then used it to flash Darky's 10.2 custom ROM. Everything turned out great except at the beginning of the boot, the screen turned all rainbow coloured, completely distorted, and it continued to do that. I then tried to go back to Recovery mode to do the Voodoo lagfix but I couldn't even get into the recovery mode anymore, it either wouldn't let me, or it did but the screen didn't go to it properly (more likely the first one). I read somewhere that if you reflash your phone again, it should make all the tweeks go away. So I tried that from the Darky's tools menu and ever since then, I've been stuck with the Boot Screen this whole time...
I already bricked my phone once, and that was before the Flashing Boot Screen.
I really need help you guys, I would at least like to have my phone back to the original basis, at least! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU
P.S. (i'm not that great at all this phone tweeking, but I've succeeded in doing it up until yesterday)

Weird colors on boot usually are a sign of an incorrect bootloader version. Since you seem to be familiar with darky stuff (ugh) you could try the darky resurrection edition; there should be easy to follow instructions on their site.

I just flashed the RE version and it's making some progress. Definitely no weird colors.
PROBLEM:
-the boot screen is still flashing when trying to boot my phone, only this time it's with the "Darkcore & Darky's ROM" logo on it. The flashing is at a slower pace this time around.
ALSO:
I can get into the stock recovery screen, I hope this can somehow help
what should I doo!!?!

Ok see your here too and more q's for you based on what I see here:
1) What did you start with as a rom before 10.2 (stock GB, Froyo rom or ???)
2) The RE version - was that GB or Froyo?
I am thinking as the other poster alluded to is that maybe you went from a Froyo rom to 10.2 without getting the GB bootloader from a stock rom (odin with bootloader update checked) and now you are still working with the wrong bootloader?
If that sounds like what happened try flashing the RE edition for Froyo (9.3 I think) if you haven't already.

Once I rooted my phone, I automatically went from Stock Froyo to Darky's 10.2 extreme edition. It worked and everything except for that color disfiguration and the clockworkmod recovery not working.
It's weird because after I flashed my first darky's rom, i checked the phone and it said that the firmware version was 2.3.X (I believe X may have been 4). So from what you're saying, I don't exactly think it has anything to do with the fact that I went straight from froyo stock to GB darky ROM.
So are you saying that I should flash darky's 9.3 for Froyo and THEN flash the latest version?

As far as i read on the Darky Site you have to activate Lagfix to install 10.2
Do you?
In other case.
Install Resurrection 9.2 FW:
(sorry. new member no links outside allowed: Go darky forum, stable roms, darky resurrection 9.2)
If that works your bootloader if for Froyo and afterwards you can go on to flash Darkys 10.2 like written in the Darky Forum.
But i would suggest to stay on Darky´s 9.5 with 2.2.1
It is the stable version with no bugs at all. This gingerbread sucks a lot with Akku Drain, Light sensor and other thing. Also no call records.
I will stay on 9.5 so far. Best solution at the moment...
The thing with installing 10.2 you installed without installing 2.3.3 rom before could be, that is maybe possible to install Darkys 10.2 Theme on a 2.2.1?
But no guarantee...

The colour distortion problem is 100% caused by incorrect bootloaders. Download jvq from samfirmware (or another 3 file gingerbread of you have one already), use the Odin version contained in the download, tick repartition and update bootloader then flash.
Download cf root for jvq and flash that as PDA without repartition. After the phone boots downlaod darkyrom from the market and from it flash darky 10.2.
Personally the kernal that comes with darkys takes too long to load the phone so I use galaxian instead. Phone flies and it's the first custom jvq rom I've used which doesn't reboot itself.

Thanks for your response! Greatly appreciated. But at the time, I'm just looking to get my phone to work. It still doesn't work, it's still only stuck flashing the bootscreen, nothing else.
From my other post:
Okay, basically at this point, I just want my phone to work I've tried what you said. I remember that before rooting my phone initially I was running Froyo 2.2.1. So I found the ROM for that ( http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm ) Just like you said. I downloaded from the *Provider Samsung Galaxy S i9000 heading and picked the I9000BOJS5 ## from February 2011 because I think somewhere around there I updated my phone to Froyo. Flashed it, did everything, still no luck.
I've had a recent hunch though. When the bootscreen boots up, it keeps saying i9000 only, when before it used to say i9000M at least for a little bit (yes my phone is i9000m). Is there a stock froyo rom that's specifically designed to go with the i9000m model? Or are they just all the same?
Never give up
-Thank you so much

Yes jl2 or kc1 roms are I9000M specific. But both need dbdata.rfs added to the roms from samfirmware.com if you repartition.
There was a post on the cm7 forums with a complete jl2 rom someone compiled with dbdata.rfs added. Look for that post as it might have some other info too.
The i9000 you see means the kernel is for i9000. But that shouldn't matter.
It's worth a try but I think that a trip to samsung is on your phones future.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App

Could be that you have a lagfix enabled and the stock ROM can't read the EXT4 file system. If so, try flashing another custom ROM via Odin (e.g. GingerReal), disable the lagfix to go back to RFS, then from there you can go back to the stock ROM.

Well CM7 forum is down but here is the most of the link, you can google this and look at the cached pages. cyanogenmod topic/15707-how-to-restore-to-stock-on-your-gt-i9000m/
You should be able to click to the multi upload link too.
Now - you are aware of course that our i9000m models can suck and die fairly readily, especially when flashing certain roms. Has yours even been returned yet? Mine has and they replaced the motherboard. You may actually have a warrenty job and in any regard they won't likely fight too hard (just flash it to one of the jl2 or kc1 rom first).
If you want to find out for sure. look for the i9000m threads where they install eclair and use the external sd to boot and then look at the memory (internal then shows as external I think - its in the thread). Basically if it shows 0 available you're hooped.

It may not have dbdata.rfs in it which you need if you repartition. I think they leave it out so regular users do not have to reinstall all their Apps.... Just look at what's in the file...

there is a I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar

so All i would have to do is just put that .tar file in PDA field and get a regular .pit file and check off the re-partitions

Okay, I have great news!!!!!!!!
I flashed that previous stock froyo ROM and finally can use my phone once more!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Special thanks goes to gfacer! I could never have done it without you!
needless to say, I still require a custom ROM such as Darky's 10.2 RE on this phone of mine.
As a final request, would you be so kind to list all the things necessary for me to do in order to get all the way to darky's 10.2 with the lagfix and all?
Or if not, at least a thread or website that says exactly how to do it on my phone (i9000m) ?
Thanks ever so much!!!

Great!
My advice would be to pretend it never happened, but read all the instructions for the rom you are interested in and start from scratch.
Generally I would go custom froyo kernel from odin which will root you and give cwm generally, update bootloader to gb via a stock rom or ezbase, then flash 10.2 via cwm.
Darky has excellent guides also look at ezbase thread.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Special thanks goes to gfacer! I could never have done it without you!
needless to say, I still require a custom ROM such as Darky's 10.2 RE on this phone of mine.
As a final request, would you be so kind to list all the things necessary for me to do in order to get all the way to darky's 10.2 with the lagfix and all?
Or if not, at least a thread or website that says exactly how to do it on my phone (i9000m) ?
Thanks ever so much!!!

To load Darky 10.2 successfully on your phone, you have to flash JVP or JVQ bootloader over your phone. The best solution is flash Stock Rom with bootloader over your phone. Then, flash Darky rom over your phone.

[TELUS FASCINATE] Gingerbread released today (Aug 19/11) over Kies

Really odd timing for this one, for me personally anyway. I finally gave up waiting yesterday and tried to install CM7 and bricked my phone. Panicked for a while, then finally figured out forcing download mode with VOLUP+VOLDOWN, connected to USB, while inserting the battery!
Anyway... it's now on Kies for Telus Fascinate. I was hoping this would finally fix GPS, but it's somehow made it completely unusable for me. 0 satellites after several minutes of looking.
Firmware version 2-3-3
Baseband version 2-6-35-7-T959TLKG2
Kernel version 2-6-35-7-T959TLKG2
sj0829-kwon-SEP-08 #2
Build number GINGERBREAD-LKG2
^^^ had to replace decimals with hyphens to appease the "no links posted by newbies" forum rule.

Also, superoneclick can't root this one. Other options?

I tried flashing Semaphore 1.5 - which is an i9000 kernel for stock JVR - and it wouldn't boot. Went back to LKG2 un-rooted for now.

I'm tempted to try CF-root for the i9000s, but given my recent bricking(s) I'm a bit tired of flashing back to 2.2. Anyone else care to try?
Though it wouldn't necessarily help with root - do you suppose zacharias.maladroit's Neo kernel would work with stock Gingerbread? Supposedly for CM7, but Gingerbread seems close enough.

so did u try it after?

Trying to root my Girlfriends phone, unfortunately, the gingerbreak exploit has been closed and the 3e recovery won't install unsigned ZIP files.
None of the custom kernels flashable through odin are going to work properly either. you will either end up with an unbootable device, or wonky buttons.
I'm not going to try anything until an odin flashable of the stock kernel is available.
Things like this make me glad I moved my personal phone to the the Nexus lineup.
I guess we wait for the next exploit to be found

Most people who try to install this are getting errors as soon as kies tries to update the phone, where it instantly shuts down and reports numerous signature errors.
Add that you can't root and I think it's borked all around. Thanks for nothing Telus.

I installed this update yesterday with no problems. Then I tried a rooted i9000 kernel which didn't work, so I had to flash back to 2.2 and update AGAIN via Kies. No problems.

The CF-root kernel link I posted earlier should theoretically work, as long as it's bootable. The kernel applies root, which remains even if another kernel is flashed. If it's bootable with wonky buttons then we could then flash another kernel to fix the button mappings. The problem, of course, is that there are no 2.3.3 kernels for the Telus Fascinate, except zacharias.maladroit's Platypus Neo (linked above) which is designed for CM7/MIUI and may or may not play nice with stock Gingerbread.
As I said, I'm sick of reflashing to stock with no backup, so I'm opting out of trying this route. Anyone more adventurous care to give it a try?

Thats hilarious, I installed CM7 yesterday as well. I'm about to Odin back to stock and then update to see how this is. CM7 is a little bit to buggy for me atm.

Cool. Quick question, does an update through Kies do the Kernel and ROM together? And will a currently installed custom Kernel mess with the update? Thanks!

Yes, the update will overwrite the current rom and firmware. As to your current kernel messing with the update, it depends, I used the stock kernel w/ voodoo and I could update. First I disabled lagfix and root just to be safe.

You disable voodoo and unroot the phone before making the upgrade?
How did you disabled the voodoo and unroot the phone?

Boot into clockwork recovery (VOLUP+VOLDOWN held while powering on) and there will be a menu for Voodoo with an option to disable. It's probably a good idea to disable it, as everything I've read seems to indicate that new roms with voodoo enable may create problems.
As for root - I can't see that having any effect on flashing a Kies update, but there is an option in superoneclick to unroot.

I reflashed back to the stock 2.2 Kernel/ROM just to be safe, and so far the update's great, way faster than before even without Voodoo enabled.

Others are reporting issues with trying to root on 2.3 so I would leave it rooted.

I have 2.3 stock rooted, useing the speedmod kernel/stock kernel method on here. I ain't had any problems at all.
As for the speed of the rom, I agree. Its double the speed of froyo, and there is no voodoo. So I can't wait till there is a voodoo or somthing available, I would maybe have to tie it down.
