Hi All,
Just bought an I900 running 2.1-u1
Baseband I9000XXJPK
What's the best way to get 2.2/2.2.1 on this?
Bit confused by the galaxy, seems a bit more messy with topics etc compared to the Desire HD (Also have)
Thanks,
Luke.
Download and install Kies 2. Run and plug in phone. it will tell you if your phones region has an update. You should at least get 2.2 at a guess.
Nope, it says this device isn't upgradeable atm, or something similar, which I find odd. But it wont.
Looking at the O2 website (I assume that is who you are with) the shop states their version of the SGS has only got Android 2.1 so it looks like it has not been updated by them yet. The support section shows several makes but not Samsung. I suggest you contact their customer support for a clearer picture. There are ways of updating but they invalidate your warranty and guarantee. If the phone is under 7 days old you could always take it back (I would) and choose a different network. Also by Flashing other firmware onto the phone you would lose any O2 applications/settings and may possibly make it unusable if the flash goes wrong or if the phone does not have a recovery mode.
Not with 02 on this one. Phone is unlocked and a de branded variant. No carrier. Currently using Orange Sim.
Can you try typing *#1234# in the dialler and posting the result.
Pda: I9000xxjf3
phone: I9000xxjpk
csc: I9000oxajf3
Which version of Kies did you install? The one from the provided disc? If so, open up Kies and check for updates to the software. I hear Samsung is no longer rolling out updates through versions of Kies under v2.
Once you have Kies on v2, you should be able to get Froyo 2.2.1.
Here is the offical Kies 2.0 download link
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...KDXEU&prd_mdl_name=GT-I9000&srchword=Galaxy+S
Click on the firmware update tab and the download tab is in there.
I have the latest off the site. Not even used the disc.
This seems very odd!
EDIT: Just checked. Deffo over v2!
There are suggestions in another thread that Samsung may be getting ready to roll out a new upgrade. If this is correct then I suppose it is possible that 2.2 and 2.2.1 have been removed in readiness?
Try loading "Samsung firmware" from the Android market. Run it and see if that says there is an update available for you.
I do understand that you bought this device from a guy, that is because the old XXJF3 firmware do come with the XXJF3 modem not XXJPK which is much later modem. Kies will not update the device until the Phone/CSC/Modem do match, means XXJF3/OXAJF3/XXJPK is seen as wrong by Kies, the right combination is XXJF3/OXAJF3/XXJF3.
You can only use Odin to make this right in one of three ways:
1: Flash the right Modem on your device to get the right combination and let Kies upgrade your device to XXJPY.
2: Flash the full XXJPM which is the 2.2 froyo and let Kies upgrade your device to XXJPY.
3: Flash XXJPY directly.
Ofcourse you can use CWM to flash a full ROM too but that will be too complicated for you at the moment.
Please explain the Clockwork Mod update.
And I should be ok. Fully customised a HTC Hero, T-Mobile G2, Orange San Francisco, T-Mobile Pulse and also my current Desire HD, so should be able to work it out ...
Thanks.
Also, any links to the right bit I need, can't find xxjf3 for the phone anywhere, I'll flash all 3 if I can find them, with the right .pit too ...
1: Root the phone if it's not rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2: Download/install busyox from market and run it, install in the device.
3: Download/install Rom Manager from market, install recovery 2.5.1.2
4: Download the deodexed XXJPY/OXAJPY/XXJPY firmware, extract and copy the extracted zip file to the internal SD-Card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
5: Reboot to recovery from Roma Manager menu, choose "install/run update.zip", the device will reboot, choose "install/run update.zip" again and you will be in CWM, choose "install zip from SD-card", brows to it and install the ROM you have downloaded.
6: Reboot when done.

No pit is needed to flash using Odin, unless you need to re-partition.
To flash the Modem only using Odin:
Download this archive, double-click to extract, power down the phone, remove Sim and external SD-card if any: http://www.multiupload.com/8CWVVOSP9H
1: Don't start Odin yet, hold the Volume Down key and the Menu Key then press and hold the Power Key till you see a yellow triangle with the word "Downloading", connect to the PC and let the drivers be installed, disconnect when done.
2: Start Odin and load the MODEM_I9000XXJF3 tar file as Phone, no pit, no re-partition.
3: Do the same again as in point 2 to enter Download mode, if your device is still in Download mode then press and hold all the three keys until the screen flicker, and the phone re-enters Download mode, don't try to connect the phone before doing that, the device will not flash and you will get an error.!
4: When re-entered Download mode, connect the phone and hit start, the flash will take a few seconds, the phone will reboot and here you have flashed the modem only.
Good luck
Ramad, changing the modem did the trick. Just updating to JPY. See what that's like, then might give Darkys ROM a bash. Seems to be the best ROM available?
Bah trying to do this properly, the download through KEIS has failed twice and once timed out. I'll do this manually I think. Is JPY the best one? Or one of the 2011 releases?
Thanks.

The error with the emergency recovery is easy to bypass, when the ROM is downloaded and Kies shows that error, choose the emergency option that Kies offers, disconnect the phone and don't close Kies, re-enter Download mode on the device and connect to kies again, it will download the ROM again and flash the device.
Regarding costume ROMS, I don't use any so I don't know much about them, I suggest that you try the stock ROM before trying any costume ROM.
There's no emergency recovery ... It's literally KEIS trying to download the new updates from Samsungs servers. It's soooo slow and fails constantly.
Everyone knows that the official Froyo for India is Out.
If You Are Thinking to upgrade your Firmware to I5801DDJP2 and you think Kies is not the reliable source.

With JPM, Kies wouldnt update to JP2.... So i took it to service center with JPM inside, asked them to flash JP2 and they did it....
Kies flashing failed
I was trying to upgrade using kies and the flashing stuck mid way and my phone wont boot now. I tried multiple times to flash using the firmware emergency recovery built in kies but it gets stuck at the same point always (39%).
Any one faced this problem? I am downloading odin files and will try. Let me know if I shouldnt try with odin and rather take the phone to the service center.
flashing with Idiot Kies is very problematic specially if you have win 7 on your pc....I just flashed with Odin...its the better way...
Thanks to all Friends who helped me

Hi, I was following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298691.
I got as far as the Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery, when I got to step 8 'Click Start on the Heimdall Frontend. A blue transfer bar will appear on the phone showing the kernel being transferred. The device will reboot automatically.' BUT when the phone tried to reboot it gets stuck on the first Galaxy S screen. I could get in to download mode and recovery mode but nothing else. Does this mean my mobile is bricked? What do I do know?
Thanks in advance
You have flashed a rom, not only root your device. And cyanogenmod is not based on samsung firmware.
Think you shold read some more.
But, how long do you wait on the s logo? It thakes some time to boot up first time when catche is wiped.
If you only want to root you shold search for cf root for your stock rom. If you want to go back, you have to download a stock rom. Found att samfirmware.com

Robert - Sorry I did mean flash as well as root. I waited around 15-20 minutes, isnt that long enough?
Talon - I have tried to re-flash using the guide method I was originally using but get the same problem. To be honest from looking at Odin information on this forum, it has confused me quite a bit (lot of different advice), not sure if I am doing the right thing.
I did make the mistake of jumping into trying to flash & root my phone. Any help of what to do to get my phone to a working state, would be very much appreciated.
@OP: as long as you can put phone in Download mode - it is not bricked.
ALWAYS, you can restore everything by flashing stock ROM with repartition.
If you will not be able to go to download mode - well... then you have something to worry about

I'm a bit confused, what would be the best way to do that?
Well find stock FW from below, then flash it using the guides..
Generally now days you get 2 files, Pit either 512 513 or 813 (or something similar). And you get a .tar file or other zip type extension and put that in pda. Then flash
you may get 3 files and a pit file in which case you put it in the appropriate places....
Ive written this guide and telling you it is a GUIDE. Wherever you get your files from there should be instructions as to what to do.
For example you may need to do a factory reset before (unlikely but still) More likely is that you will have to disable lagfix, but you shoudnt have to worry about that. Main thing read the guide and follow the guide from where you get the files. The thread you get it from...read the first and last 5 pages, more if you want to be safe.
Now files, i have links to stock FW below, guide are usually present within them. If not read the thread, but also read the thread and search th thread for answers or the section or the SGS forum.
IF before you were on 2.2.x - try some Froyo from sammfirmware. If you were on Ginger - try Click
Of course, you can search for EAzyBase... but it is more advanced, start from the basics...
OMG, there are tons of tutorials and how to's in here about flashing and rooting phones... who uses heimdall? get Odin for flashing:
1. Install KIES for drivers (you might already have done this).
2. Get a rom from samfirmware/sammobile, I recommend JVP because it has gingerbread bootloaders: http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares
3. Get Odin (sorry I coudn't find a link)
4. Get your phone in download mode (VolDown, Home, Power).
5. Connect your phone to PC with USB cable.
6. Set the PDA, CSC and MODEM files in Odin from the firmware you downloaded from step2.
7. Make sure you have "re-partition" enabled and set the .PIT file to use the *512.pit also included in the firmware from step 2.
8. click start.
9. Start your phone and set up the startup wizard.
9. For rooting, get the CF-root for your firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
10. Get your phone into download again.
11. DON'T check repartition in odin, only select the CF-Root file as PDA (you have to use the CF-Root-***.TAR, important to use .TAR and not .ZIP.
12. Flash again, now you are rooted!!
Guys, Ma name's Vasanth And i just registered as i found this site very useful.
Here is my problem.
Today i was mingling with my phone and i found an update for my S plus to 2.3.6. So i got to a forum and downloaded Odin and the 2.3.6 firmware, i started odin v 1.83, and ran it but failed but still the phone worked. Then i started Odin v1.43 multi-android or something. Then i t started with the OPS and the One package. it also sent a message "Big partition" 4 times and the AMSS download began and took ages, so i force closed the Odin. And i disabled my phone from the Download Mode. i got in the Normal mode and i got this Phone connecting to the PC with Dots and a hazard yellow mark on the Dots. I think the Firmware is messed up. I bought it in Dubai and got it to India. It's warranty Card is in Russian language and so does the Instruction i think.
I need solution and quick
Please and extremely please help
Thanks in Advance.

So you went to some other random website, followed their instructions and came here for support. Hmm.
Well, though this site is NOT a support site, let's see if we can get you back.
First you didn't 'brick' your phone, yet - if it boots beyond a blinking or solid LED you have a good chance to get it running.
FIRST turn it off completely. Plug it in and let it charge for about an hour. You've got some reading to do anyways..
grab the MK2 .tar from here (the tar.md5 is in the zip, just extract the .tar.md5 and put that one file in the PDA slot of Odin) and flash it via Odin.
It'll reset everything (all partitions and modem etc.)
Grab PC Odin (v3.07 works great) Extract the folder to your desktop.
Open Odin and right-click and 'run as administrator' Select the above mentioned .tar.md5 and put it into the PDA slot. Do NOT check anything other than options then what come up by default - like reparition in Odin or you WILL hose yourslef.
With your phone NOT connected to the PC enter Download Mode - Power On + Volume Down (at the same time) till the 'confirmation window comes up - then select Volume Up to continue to download mode.
NOW plug your phone into the PC via USB and you should see a COM light up in Odin.
Then hit Start and let it flash. till done.
You phone should reboot - you can disconnect it from the PC after Odin finishes.
Then.. WAIT first boot could take 5 to 10 EARTH MINUTES. Walk away, take a piss watch a few plays of the games whatever.
Your phone should then be back to stock MK2.
IF you want to root you can use CF-Autoroot. File and explicit instructions are here in these forums.
But PLEASE spend some time reading through the how-tos and OPs here.
Good luck

Grab Philz here. Read here on how to install via Odin. Read this entire page on how to use it.
I would HIGHLY recommend you spend some time and read through these sections. The OPs of the ROMs have specific recoveries they recommend and more importantly precise directions for wiping and installing their specific ROMs.
Before you install anything just relax, and spend a few days reading. You won't be sorry.
Next time you try rooting make sure you have everything you need instead of trying to do it piece by piece and YouTube videos can help a lot.
