Hy there
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy s Model GT-I9000, Baseband I9000xxjm1, Kernel version 2.6.29, Build Eclair.xwjm2
I read a lot of things here and i would like to make my phone to work better.
I would need some help with the 3 button recovery mode, because i cannot put the phone in recovery; i would like to explain me somebody how to fix the lag thing and if possible to put the 2.2 update on it
10x
By the way, i read a lot of posts, i looked it up on the internet how to do stuff and i didn't get it...with all the explenations and the tricks and tips, and very much videos on you tube, now i'm confuse and all the info in my head is jumbled up
So please, who will help me to be prepared to be asked a lot of questions
Upgrading through Kies might be the easiest and fastest way to get Froyo. Install keys and plug in your phone and check for updates, if it doesn't show Froyo as an option (build JP6, JPM, or JPA) then check the how-to threads of how to apply the registry hack to get Kies to upgrade you to Froyo. That's the easiest because then you don't have to worry about recovery (yet) and the newer build will probably include a fix for recovery anyway.
ok , what is Kies?

Hey have you read this sticky yet?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810682
The instructions there are pretty str8 forward and please DO NOT post this type of questions here. There is a question forum for a reason!
Dude U should you the search function, anyway there is no rush to go flash froyo on your SGS right away.
You should try to familiarize yourself to the phone first.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 try that, it has all the stock ROMs just reflash with odin and that should do the trick, instructions on how to do it are on that post too,
good luck
** As your gunna re-flash, Have you not considered a new custom ROM altogether ? plenty to chose from on this site. **
I suggest you follow the above link and flash to stock. It's very simple.. takes me 10 mins to get back to stock and up and I have only done this 2 times. There are people who do it several times a week.
I suggest you go for Darky's 8.0 ROM if you're new. It's one of the best.
I've spent DAYS just to figure out how I can get the new firmware.. I've had Kies once, but had to un-install it because, whenever it asked me to install the new firmware and I checked, it would always say: ''An error occured'' without giving any bit of information on why the error occured. Now I'm re-installing Kies.. I've my battery life on 100% etc. So I hope it works this time.
Can anyone please give me a link to a guide, or please tell me the basic things to be aware of when trying to download 2.2?
Please I think I am the only one in europe who is stuck with the 2.1 and I REALLY want a faster Galaxy S with Flash etc. So please help. My threads always get burried and ignored :/

If you want the standard official upgrade without flashing your phone then their are two ways one via Kies or two via a Samsung service centre .
An error occured'' without giving any bit of information on why the error occured
If we knew what the error was ???
ALTERNATIVE method .

I was recommended to you by a good friend of mine. I recently pyrchased a Samsung Galaxy S mobile phone, and i must say what a great phone, i had had it for a couple of days and want to root it it currently runs 2.1 eclair is it ? and was given a file to download that contains 2 files one telling you how to root and other with root file which is ( z4root.1.3.0.apk ) now ihave already conected usb cable and have done this so far -
Gone into applications and checked unknown sources box!
Then gone into development and checked the usb debugging box!
now where it tells me to put root file into memory card via usb ! now this is where we get stuck dont know how to put root file into memory card and it should go into into internal memory not external ??
just need help and advice on what to do next so i can root my mob and know that i am in the right place for this advice .
Thanking you all in advance.

You can use Z4root for rooting 2.1 & 2.2 only.
For rooting 2.2.1 and above you must need a computer. Re-install the USB drivers and check it again.
hi thanks for that mine is 2.1 so why is my mob showing up on lappy when i connect with usb cable ?
Why you're still on Eclair 2.1? Very Strange......
I'd say first update it to 2.2.1 of your region. There is a hell of performance/speed difference in 2.2.1 & 2.1.
Why do you want to root it?
i still dont know why my lappy not seeing my mob when connected to each other ?
You need to download samsung kies this will install the drivers for your laptop to recognise your device. If i were you I would not root at all incase anything happens to your device. Download kies, update your phone and then do A LOT of reading about root.

Yep kies can be downloaded from samsung website. Or google it which will get you to the direct samsung download website somehow. When you install Kies it will install the drivers, then you can connect your phone by USB to the PC.
Yes, on 2.1. it is a bit slow (what you describe as "freeze"). If you upgrade the firmware with Kies to 2.2.1 it will be faster so you really should do that.
Why not root a phone? That's easy to answer as all the guides say here in the forums:
you should only root if:
- you know what rooting is and what it's for
- if you actually really need root (most apps won't)
why should you not root:
- "it sounds like it's something I need but I have no idea why"
- rooting requires flashing (depending on ROM) and that can "bricK" your phone (one way or the other), forcing you to get a Jig (in one of the better results) or send it in for repair (in the very worst case ever)
- rooting a phone can potentially damage your phone (by user error or by malicious apps, just think of what that dude did to jailbreaked iphones in the Netherlands once).
I'm a total Linux noob but I claim to know the difference between a limited user account and a super user (as it is similar in Windows).
So I know I have access to the system files on the phone and I know I could mess up my whole phone and break it if I mess around with these files.
Personally, I did not root my phone until I really had needs for that (such as Titanium backup). As said, many apps won't even need root access.
Anyways, do what I did: start reading those guides, they might be long, some not so newbie friendly and there are quite too many duplicates (kind of) but they contain a lot that is good to know before trying some more advanced stuff. This really saved my phone on the very first flashing already! Do some selective reading.
Should you really have needs for rooting after all that reading and only want to root but no other changes (yet) I suggest using CF-Root by Chainfire as that is a stock kernel (part of a ROM), so basically it just adds root and that's it (needs to be flashed so better read those guides).
downloaded what i thought was kies from samsung site version 2 and connected mob after installing still nothing please help ?

I noticed on your first post you checked the debugging, go to settings applications development and uncheck debugging then open kies then connect phone with usb, kies should then install the drivers and it should tell you there is a firmware update which will hopefully give you 2.2.1, then you can disconnect phone, close kies, go back into development and check debugging, connect phone to pc and on phone pull down the information bar and select to copy files to your pc, then you can see your phone as a external drive. Hope this helps and works
Hi everyone, my first major post asking for help so here goes:
Long story short bust my Samsung Galaxy I9000 yesterday, someone rooted and modded it for me and I lost contact with them.
I would really really appreciate anyone especially one of you hardened vets out there if you could talk me through rooting my replacement, putting these partition thingies on, that cynogen mod ive heard of and a speedy kernal. Basically making my phone lightning fast and reliable. I had a darky rom on my last phone, but think it was well dated?
I ve read the tuts, but I cannott see the wood for the trees, plus I am NOT confident with messing with this kind of stuff at all.
Id like it if someone wouldnt mind taking time out if they could spare an hour or two and do it live with me through msn or something?
I know some of you out there are probably thinking dumb noob, but yhea your right I am.
Thank you so much.
Admins if Ive posted in the wrong place, or asked something out of order apologies in advance. Genuine unconfident laman here.
do you have any rom that you wanted to use?
Hi spyder thanks for a response. To be absolutely honest I have not got a clue.
Some people at work swear by that cynogen mod, I had darkys and had no problems but it was dated. Im well open to suggestions?
I use my phone for everything, internet, maps, games, emails etc, so if you can suggest something whats new, stable, opens my phone to its full potential and easy for me to do Id be happy to try if your willing to help me.
I should get my phone in the next few hours, Ive been waiting for 5 hours now, then hopefully i'll be able to see what software it has pre loaded? whether its gingerbread or honeycomb etc.
darky's rom is nice and it been around for some time though i have never used it. download link and tutorial is included in his thread http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/darkyrom-v10-4-2-xwjw1.6577/
Just recieved my replacement Samsung Galaxy GT I9000
my software details are as follows:
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: I9000BVJV3
Kernal: 2.6.35.7- IBVJVC-CL679241 [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
HEEELLLP!
Thank you
OK, I think Im going to take the plunge, but can someone please tell me exactly what software, etc I'll need to download?
And I'd like to give cynogen a try, but which pit and tar etc will I need please?
Im confused theres far far too many for me???
Remember I need to know how to root first? from my phone details above??
Thanks guys.
you need to use odin also before using odin kill kies from task manager on your pc.
uninstall kies or kill it
ok first thing you want to do is head over herehttp://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
and download darky rom
once downloaded extract it and put it on your desktop
open odin 1.3 for windows vista and 1.85 for w7
put the pda.tar in the pda section and the pit file in the pit section
simples once you see it
then power of your phone and hold down the volume down power and home at the same time
if you succeed a big orange triangle will pop up plug the phone into the pc
in the box closest to your left a yellow sign will pop up saying com then a number
click the start button and wait for it to do its stuff once booted up you can unplug your phone and go around setting it up!
your phone will be rooted and fast!!!!!
Paintballer - THANKYOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
Phone rooted, brill and easy instructions from the guys page who used the Darky Rom, and most importantly, NO MORE ORANGE JUNK on my device!!!
Cant thank you enough.
Hey guys
first of all thanks a lot for this great forum.
I have a question regarding my new Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (Value Edition) (model number: GT-I8200N).
Is there any way to root my phone? I can't find any info for this model on the internet.
In this thread only the GT-8200 is mentioned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185700. How is this method working?
I found a guide for rooting the "normal" S3 mini by flashing the CWM and SuperSU.
Is it possible to root my phone this way without bricking it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Try this, it roots almost any device.
Hi, i have an i8200L and I did root it with the vRoot. But does anyone know if the others mods for i8190 work for this one? Like ROMs and all that?
I've read that you can't flash roms etc. because there are differences in the software (bootloader?).
The chance that you brick your phone is pretty high.

There is no excuse for that, i know. But I know now, that i flashed a wrong rom.
Can I throw the Mobile away or is there a chance for it?

an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I don´t know what to do know, maybe someone can help me.

That is download mode. You have to chose vol+ to see your status.
To get out of download mode, just hold power for about 10 sec and it will reboot to system.
Recovery mode: vol+ / home / power
Download mode: vol- / home / power (confirm with vol+)
Thanks for answer. In recovery i can not see anything. In download Mode it says "system status: official". But at the top it says "odin mode" Does that mean that warranty is still ok or not?
Is still ok!
