Update to 2.2.1

Hey xda-friends that is my first thread so please be generous.
On topic:
I have a unlocked sgs 8gb from germany i made my first update from 2.1 to 2.2(jp6) with the reghack via kies than i made myself a jig cable just in case......
Now my customitations began oclf2 new luncher gingerbread keyboard and so on i am very happy with performance and everything .....
So my question would be is there a good reason i am missing to update to the new 2.2.1 releases (i don't have recovery avaible just download mode via jig .
i am not really into modyfying my bootloader (3btn fix) but i would do it if it is really needed ......
Thank u in advance for any suggestions tips or help

My first upload with this phone went wrong and I did not have the 3-button combo. Had to send it in for repair and got it back again without the 3-button combo. First thing I did was enable it by flashing a new bootloader (this time I used Win XP x86 instead of Win 7 x64 as Odin did not seem to work well on Win7 here).
I did it because I knew I was going to do uploads again, I simply want to be able to use the latest roms
If you can live without flashing roms (unofficial ones) then there's no need to flash the bootloader although I can imagine that even with the official updates from KIES something can go wrong.
However with your cable that enables the download mode, you should be able to recover from any faulty flash. Recovery mode can always be accessed from a reboot command line.
As for 2.2.1, I'm very happy with the performance (no lag seen so far) and especially the battery usage seems promising in my current config. However it takes time to evaluate a new rom as the first days of usage are normally not representative for general usage patterns of the phone. If you want to know peoples opinions, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few more weeks.
P.S.: I did the update to 2.2.1 using the KIES registry hack

How to do registry heck? Is it dangers for the phone? I don't have 3 combo buttons work.

You can find the application here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
You will basically make KIES think that you have a different product code which allows you to install an update that is limited to a certain region only.
Full instructions are in the thread above, make sure to read those before you start with this.

Thank u for ur comments

If you can flash with odin does this mean you can get Download mode(home, vol DWN and Pwr)? If so recovery of firmwares is no problem in the event of a brick.

Im rooted, and every time i try to flash clockwork through odin i either get a fail, or if i keep trying sometimes it goes through and says pass but it gets stuck on a force start loop and i cant do anything in recovery menu...so i end up fash stock files for telus to return the phone to its new state. I really want to get clockwork on here and try some roms. If anyone could help it would be awesome.
Thanks, Mike.

What version of clockwork recovery are you trying to flash with odin?
From what I can tell you should be using the one from the vibrant?
good day.

Okay thank you. I'm at work right now and I will try tonight
Sent from my SGH-T959D using Tapatalk

On 2.1 I flashed the Vibrant version (using ROM Manager)
From I have read, with the 2.2 update installed you can't flash it (yet).

Use my guide but with an appropriate firmware from samfirmware.

Not a hell lot you can do about the download speed. I suspect it might have something to do with hotfile - I get incredibly ****ty speed from hotfile, but not from any other file sharing service.
There should be a few threads lying around in the general section about stock roms. Try downloading from there instead of ****ty hotfile.

Before you flash anything you gotta make sure you have 2 backup plans. One is, of course, the nandroid backup. The other is having a stock firmware file you can flash with Odin in case everything goes to hell.
In my case, I have a JPU stock firmware stored on my home computer and on my work laptop. Every time I screw up so badly everything is FUBAR I go back to JPU and works like a charm.
Ah also, along with the JPU I have a CF-Root flashable file for JPU (just needs to be Froyo specific, not firmware release specific) so I can have root.
That's the only advice that hasn't been given to you already.
In reality, the Galaxy S is pretty hard to really brick. The bootloader may get corrupted but there's almost always a way out.

ok thanks guys +1
i will flash my phone with 2.3 and when I'am bored with it i'll flash it with some custom rom

I haven't had time to install and check out the ROM for my impulse yet. I'm just worried about 4g and wifi connectivity. With my job, having data service on my phone is a must. I know that was a problem with a different ROM for this phone... everything worked except for data and wifi. I guess I'm a little shy to try it as there have been reports of not being able to revert back to Froyo.

Well so far its working on on the first testers phone the second Guy said he is gonna do it when he gets a chance to check it out so hopefully his turns out good

Useless Posts
Why do you guys even keep posting on here with useless information.... I keep
seeing the post over and over about the link to the GB download, and how it worked for 1 guy "who is HE ?" but you do not post the link up to the source.
Then somebody says "oh yeah, i am gonna try it later. will let you know how it goes"...... Then nobody ever posts back their progress. Some people come on here with a purpose of helping Dev's or other people to mod their phones.
If you are not going to follow through with your posts, or post useless information
with no links to what you are talking about..... DON'T POST anything at all.

Now, it is suppose to be downgraded, but it is not booting.. (just operator logo and reboots) but there is no bricking.. I am now trying to update another stock rom froyo posted in this forum.
Edit 2: Secondly, I installed http://www.mediafire.com/?kmh4qbd3v7dslc5 the same way, and its working! but it is u8800pro Froyo. But maybe we have more chances on getting 3g.

I downloaded from a chinese web a stock rom for u8800pro with baseband 203026 (same as u8800-51). I flashed it, and then restored all using clockworkmod files from u8800-51 (also, I replaced all files in pink screen and put the original image files from u8800-51). It worked great! my phone is now u8800-51 froyo again. But I still got no 3g.. Can this be possible? I replaced every file! whats the problem then?
The u8800pro stock rom with u8800-51 baseband is here: http://dl.dbank.com/c0i0gctow9

Sorry if this is another useless post. Now I know I won't upgrade knowing that downgrading won't give you your 4g back. I really wish I could afford to get an Atrix. Thanks for the useful posts about downgrading.

Can the Sprint Samsung Epic 4g on gingerbread 2.3.6 be rooted?
Hello to anyone who knows about rooting. I work in medicne so I can figure out anything with the human body but not with rooting my Samsung epic on gingerbread 2.3.6. I have tried different developers, different sites, and read till I went crazy. The lingo gets old. It would be like me talking to the common public about the interpetation of hemodynamic readings and congestive heart failure. Anyhow, I rooted my epic 4g before it automatically upgraded to gingerbread...then it froze...I researched and unbricked it with a program everyone said did not work...but it worked to unbrick my phone even though it was supposed to root my phone...it just reset it to where it was usable again. When I try to go to certain websites for rooting files to download...they seem to be missing...hmmmm. So again, can the samsung epic 4g on gingerbread 2.3.6 be rooted? If it can, please direct me to some site...so far...I have tried about 5 different sites...no luck. It is also very hard to find anything specific on gingerbread 2.3.6 on rooting...alot of info. on the other versions.

there is a thread that tells you a 3 step method. if you wanna flash another rom then here is what I did. Download the rom you want and put on the sd card. download odin if you do not already have it. download cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar.md5. open odin uncheck every thing even reboot. then click pda put the cwm.tar into the pda. make sure your phone is in download mode. by holding the #1 button on the keyboard and the power button. plug the phone in to the usb. a yellow com box should pop up. hit start it shouldn't take long but it will complete and the phone will still be on. unplug your phone and take the battery out. put the battery back and turn on using the 3 finger method. ( vol. down, camera and power button) then wipe data, wipe cache, go into advance and wipe dalvik. press the back button click then click install zip from sdcard. click choose zip from sd card and then choose your rom and install that should be all. if you want to stay stock and just be rooted you need to download superuser.zip the link is found in the first video. you do the first part the same but instead of wiping every thing you go start into install zip and then choose the super user zip. reboot your system. then you have to go into the root explorer and delete a file but I cant remember the file name. but then you turn your phone off and then you have to odin cwm again. then you will be rooted. i will edit this when i can remember the file name unless some one beats me to the punch. i hope this helps if not pm me and i will try to help i am going to be flashing back to stock and re rooting to day so..

Thanks...I will try it again.

The phone will remain stock or I would just flash fc09 deoxed. It's for my wife I might in the future upgrade her but this is her first android so I'm trying to go slow with it and not barrage her with too many changes.
