[Q] What is new in JM1 ? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i just update mz firmware...and the only different i found out there is a task manager app......does anyone know what else are been upgrading in the JM1???

another thing that i found is....it is lagging......hmmmm

My phone came with JM1 and having installed the OCLF, I can't honestly fault it at all. Compared to some of the complaints I have read on other firmwares, it is a superb firmware version.
The only thing wrong with it is of course the GPS.

[Q] JPO available yesterday, gone today?

Yesterday I saw the news that JPO is starting to spread, along with a new Kies version. So I downloaded the new Kies and installed it. Hooked up my SGS, at that time running official JM1 patch (obtained through Kies a few months ago), and hit the update button.
Kies then showed that the JPO update was supposedly available to me.
Unfortunately, during flashing, something went wrong and I ended up with an incomplete update (the screen went solid-color pale green at one point and nothing more happened after that). Repeated atempts of Recovery after that, as well as Odin ended in similar failure. It looks like I can't run updates from this computer.
I then installed Kies on a different computer and hooked up the SGS there, in Download Mode, and tried to flash JPO (downloaded from the Dev forum here) using Odin. That worked partially - on restart, I only got Recovery mode with an error message, claiming that format of the internal memory failed.
So I downloaded official JM1 and flashed that, and it works.
Now I reconnected to Kies and tried to look for the JPO update on that other computer, but I now get this message:
PDA:JM1 / PHONE:JG6 / CSC:JG7
This device's version cannot be updated.
I'd really like to get me some Froyo now - what files will I need to do this through Odin, reliably?
Froyo probably hasn't started rollout for many carriers yet. And I'm not sure exactly which carriers have begun rollout So I can't help.
did u have lagfix installed ???

[Q] camera damaged after camera firmware update flash

hi,
i recently flashed my camera firmware using the code *#*#34971539#*#*
now it is not working anymore. i cant do anything when i open the camera app and short time later there appears "camera error" (german: kamerafehler)
does anybody know what i can do? i also tried older firmwares and flashed the camera again but it is still not working anymore.
is there any possibility to fix this? or do i have to send it to samsung?
thx in advance!!
What made you update the firmware? from what i've read and been told you should NEVER update it as it will break it. You found that out. Sounds like you will need to flash down to stock rom and return to samsung
i decided to bring it back to the service partner. i tried JM1 and updated with kies to froyo 2.2 now. is it normal that my kernel is named: [email protected] now or is it because i rooted it in earlier times? i removed the root before i flashed the fm1.
thx in advance.
yes, it is normal that kernel name is [email protected]
at least mine original from box have got similar name

SGS camera issue

Hello everybody,
I've searched around this and other fora for my problem, but I found nothing. I bought my SGS about 2 months ago. It came with Android 2.1 installed and, through Kies, I updated it to 2.2 Froyo. After that, I decided to flash Darky's 9.2, as I heard a lot of good things about it.
After flashing everything was fine for a couple of days, 'till I started installing some camera-based apps, like Barcode Scanner and Google Goggles: I used them about three times, then they started force closing (Google Goggles) or showing a black screen instead of the camera view (Barcode Scanner). The situation grew worst and worst as my camera app started giving me a "Warning - Camera Failed" as soon as i switched to video mode. I read on Android Forums this problem could be caused by some of those camera-using apps, so I uninstalled both Barcode Scanner and Google Goggles, but nothing changed.
Other listed solutions were to disable lagfixes, change ROM/firmware, reset the phone, but none of this helped.
After experiencing those problem with Darky's 9.2, I upgraded to the new Darky's 9.3, but I still experienced the same damned issue. Thinking of some software issue with Darky's, I formatted the phone, disabled any lagfix I had and tried to flash Jimmy's/Hamster's v6.3. Well it's blazing fast, but I still have a similar problem: both camera and video mode work flawlessly, but both Barcode Scanner and Google Goggles force close, while Layar reports it is "unable to access camera hardware".
And now here I am, asking for your help. Thanks in advance.
Loads of posts on this subject on Darky posts suggest one you search them two you delete the rom and go back to stock .Then use another custom rom of your choice .

Thank you for your post, but, as I stated, I've already searched for my problem and no solution worked. Also, I've already flashed to another ROM (Darky's-> Hamster's).
I also have the problem with camera. Try to find the newest firmware and update it, maybe that will solve the problem.
When i updated fw, camera worked fine for a couple of hours, and then, iI don't know how, phone automatically switched to my old fw (about 1-2 hours after rebooting).
Then I have to restart the phone and camera works fine again with new fw.
It's so annoying, but i don't have the complete solution yet. Btw, i'm on Darkys 9.6.6.
Sounds like you're missing the stock email.apk

[Q]problem updating firmware via Kies

So i heard about the 2.3.3 updated for the tab and i decided to check via kies
And knowing (from my SGS) that i have to update first with the old update to get the latest i decided to do that (the one from January or something)
But when i try i get an Error Saying that Kies could not be administrator permission from the Tab
Is this a known problem?
PS: anyone know how to change the language in Kies? i would prefer it in english because it makes it easier to describe problems
some users over at swedroid have some issues with sgs. no solution yet
Sorry. not allowed to post link
So i changed computers (usually do kies updates on my laptop) and its working fine
currently half way though the firmware update
Unable to update via Kies as well
I am getting the same message. States that I do not have the permission of the P1000 device administrator.
Was trying to update an unlocked Euro P1000, using the newest version of Kies and Windows 7 Premium. Also tried to use my XP to do the same, gets stuck on the screen after hitting the update button, or comes back with an "unknown error."
I hate Kies, but am would rather not root and bootload as I'm selling this in the next month or so.
Think I am moving away from Samsung. Love their hardware (have a Galaxy S and Tab), but hate their support and software updating.
Hello,
I can only suggest you to look at Overcome rom in the developers section.
There is an amizing guide explaining you step by step how to upgrade your tab and at the end you'll have a much better 2.3.3 rom than Samsung stock one.
If you still want only Samsung rom stop the update process when it says to install Overcome and you'll end-up with a very clean rooted stock 2.3.3
best solution seems to be a clean install of Kies. Uninstall, clean registry, download new from samsung, install. Kies must be center of gravity when it comes to bugs :/

Problem Upgrading from JPO to GB via Kies

Hi there I'm having problem updating from JPO Froyo to the recently released Ginberbread JVO.
I've reinstalled Samsung Kies and the Samsung USB drivers but I'm still getting this error everytime I try and upgrade. The phone itself is unlocked.

Details of the error here:
hxxp://imageshack.us/m/17/6568/androiderror.jpg
I've never rooted the device or installed any custom ROM. I only upgrade via Kies.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
It looks like kies itself is misbehaving. Try uninstalling kies and then reinstall it to see if that solves your problem
I already did that and i'm still getting errors when I try to upgrade.
Is it being blocked by your firewall?
My firewall is turned off.
hmmm that's strange, it should be working normally in that case.
OS shouldn't be an issue, im assuming you have plenty of free ram, and that you're not running anything else you don't need to be running in the background.
Maybe try giving samsung a call and see what they say? I know kies is very tempramental from my experiences with it in the past. That's why I started flashing custom roms lol, to get away from kies.
