Hi there,
Froyo 2.2 is out for us Aussies and after upgrading it has been a train wreck for me lagging, apps don't work, and don't get me started on txting, it has got to the point that I don't want to use the phone any more
If the ROM is supplied can a developer make a custom ROM for us Auzzies made from the optus ROM but without the bloatware, optimized, no lag etc. I'm sure alot of us would appreciate it.
The only thing is i applied the 3 button fix.
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband I9000DTJP3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: Froyo DTJP5
Any help would be appreciated
Did you do factory reset? Clear cache , dalvich cache etc. Mine was unresponsive till doing this, the upgrade can sometimes be messy to say the least. If you want no bloatware download the unbranded aussie 2.2 from samfirmware.
I am having the same problem and now I am trying to get some kernel update but the problem is that the 3 button is not even fixed in froyo update from optus
they just want to use their crappy software with the phone and get the worst experience of the phone !!!!
but you just said you had the 3 button fixed! which link did you fix from or would please write down the step for it.
thanks mate
Hi guys.
I just got a SGS yesterday as my HTC Desire was stolen last week.
The one I got is a German T-Mobile branded phone (has customised boot and shutdown logo) and I really wan't to get rid of the branding and all those useless apps on it. I live in Denmark so i have no use for T-Mobiles apps that don't work here.
Now i have been reading a lot yesterday on these forums and reading lots of guides but I'm still unsure what route to go. Currently the phone is running 2.1 and I wan't to upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1 but unbranded, and then root the phone a bit later and probably move to Darky's Gingerbread edition ROM.
From what i can gather there are 2 methods to do this, but I can't really find out witch one would be right for debranding.
1. Using KIES registry pattcher and change my product code to XEE (Nordics) and try that to flash it to official 2.2 and root that.
2. Using this [HOWTO] manually flash Samsung Galaxy S with JPY firmware ** WORKS **
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be awesome.
[EDIT] Forgot to mention that i can boot the phone in both download mode and recovery mode holding the 3 buttons, so no need to fix that first.
Information on my phone:
Product code from KIES registry:GT-I9000HKDDTM
*#1234#
PDA: I9000BOJG3
PHONE: I9000BOJF1
CSC: I9000GDTMJH2
Build number:ECLAIR.BOJG3
Firmware revision:2.1-update1
Baseband:I9000BOJF1
Kernel version:[email protected] #2
1. Using KIES registry pattcher and change my product code to XEE (Nordics) and try that to flash it to official 2.2 and root that.
Thats the way to go but you would be best to safe a copy of the current ROM for warranty purposes as you would need to flash it back to make a claim .
Flashing via Odin only if you cannot use method 1 .

Ok, thanks.
But how do I make a backup of the current rom? There is no download for it at far as i can tell.
Get Backup from Samfirmware.com
Go to Samfirmware.com click on Firmware then go to Firmware Section. Select then Android and then Galaxy S GT-I9000. Then download the I9000XWJG3 firmware.
Done

But XWJG3 is not a T-Mobile branded firmware is it? If it is nothing on these guides makes any sense.
Btw I did find a I9000BOJG3.rar file on some download page, downloaded and it does contain the following files that match my current versions. I have no idea if it's a working flash but if it is I would be able to flash thsi from odin to return to stock right?
I9000BOJG3.rar file contains:
CODE_I9000BOJG3.tar.md5
CSC_I9000GDTMJH2.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000BOJF1.tar.md5
Oh my Fault. I tought that only the ending is important (Like if the ending is JP7 than it's a Vodafone Firmware and if the ending is JG3 it's a T-Mobile
But XWJG3 is not a T-Mobile branded firmware is it? If it is nothing on these guides makes any sense
You get branded firmware from the network operator .
All firmware on these pages is non branded .
Again my suggestion is to use Kies registry patcher and spoof the update to whatever you want .

I'm also trying to debrand my SGS and get Froyo, but I'd also like to make a backup of my original ROM. However, my ROM isn't available in samfirmware.com. It's I9000BVJJI1 and I want to update to I9000BVJJPD, which one of my friends has and probably is the same hardware.
Is there any way to backup my original ROM?
Your rom and every network rom comes from the network Sam is generic base roms .
Back up = Clockwork Mod Recovery to save the rom .
May i repeat if you dont know what you are doing then dont this forum is littered with broken phones belong to newbies who have not bothered to read and understand and now need to take the phone back to Samsung for repair with non valid firmware that has invalidated the warranty .

Just did the update via KIES using the patcher and everything went smooth.
Saved the new firmware during flashing and a factory reset after the flash as i had basically nothing on the phone yet.
Right now I'm on 2.2
PDA: I9000XWJPA
PHONE: I9000XXJPP

Not rooted yet, but I'm gonna do that tomorrow probably.
I have somehow disabled the menu and back key on my I9000.
Gone back to the orginal ROM, still not working. Was using Darky 8.0, might have done something in SGS tools. Can someone please help!
Thanks
Try flashing stock firmware of your phone
Then update the touchkey firmware
Ive Flashed to orginal but not go, Tried several versions but not luck. Where do I find the touchkey firmware?
HI Everyone,
Im getting really desperate, I cant find how to get the menu and back keys functioning again. I have look hard on the forums but no real answer.
What I know is I went into SGS Tools in 2.2.1 ,I pressed an update touch screen I think.
please help!
Cheers

what version of phone you got?
I *just* had this issue.
Started out with my back key hanging on me after getting a custom ROM installed.
So I attempted to update my firmware for the menu and back keys and lost them both.
This seems to be any custom ROM, cannot handle the touchkey firmware update.
How to fix:
Grab ODIN and your stock 2.2.x firmware.
Disable lagfixes if you need to.
Flash it.
Update your touchkey firmware ( *#*#2663#*#* in dialer)
Now reflash a CWM kernel with ODIN
Re-apply your custom rom from sd.
I used the wipe option whenever possible so I would recommend the same.
My touch keys are once again working perfectly and Darky's rom is screaming fast.
I found the issue and fix after noobproof tipped me off to search out this thread:

Works fine for my, it took the same problem as that as an idiot from a custom rom touches in update touch keys and they stopped working.

this is killing me. Ive flashed back to 2.2.1 and tried all the other steps. The only problem is that my phone orriginally came with 2.1. I wanna try everything with my original firmware. Does anyone know where i can download a copy 2.1. from?
I had exactly same problem with damn 'return' softkey. I have searched and tried a lot of methods and no chance, I recomend you to go to samsung repair center. Aparently they replaced motherboard and screen to repair this issue.

i took my phone in for work today as ive tried everything and cant get it to work. Ive flashed almost every bit of firmaware i could find and and i could not get it work at all. When i took it to them they said that they've had a ton of problems with the new firmware frying the soft touch buttons. If you cant get your buttons to work i would recomend taking it to where you bought it and seeing if you can get warranty or even just send it out for repairs. Although sometimes it is just an issue with the firmware for the touch screen. Please let as many people as you can know that its a really really really bad idea to update the touchscreen firmware when you have flashed your phone with any roms other than the stock firmware that came with your phone. Have fun! I know i will waiting 4-6 weeks to get my phone back and sitting with a blackberry 8330, oh well, better than nothing.
Hey guys,
When I flashed my carrier stock rom I did not use any PIT options.
If JPY was the rom your carrier issued you then that should be the one you use.
Basically, the touchkey firmware update worked for me on a stock, carrier issued 2.2 (not 2.1 or 2.2.1, though those may indeed work) rom.
Once touchkey was re-updated in the stock, unrooted rom, I flashed back to custom roms as normal.
It looks like you did some pit repartitioning and used a JPY rom not issued by your carrier.
Also, my gt-i9000 is bell issued, so I've got to be wary when repartitioning not to kill my sbl.bin fix and introduce sd corruption issues; so I flash a stock rom with a bootloader update if I think a custom rom may have wiped it out.

you said you have a vibrant and you flashed back to jpy.
if you have a vibrant the product must be GT-I9000M
if you have a vibrant (gt-i9000m) you must flash to your carrier's latest rom-as far as i know bell's latest rom is jh2, search the forums for that- then update your touchkey fw.
hope this helps.

I had the fu***** same problem, so this is how I solve it.

Then click Touch key FW update and my back and menu button was broken.
So I flashed back Eclair 2.1 re-ryped *#*#2663#*#* Then click Touch key FW update and my buttons was fixed!!! So you can flash again any ROM you want.
Let me know if it works for you.

I have replaced the front panel of Galaxy S, later menu and back button didn't work. I thought lcd is broken but update firmware of the lcd helped.
I updated my SGS using Kies to 2.2.1. I have not rooted the phone or made any other changes to the firmware before this. After the update, my back key randomly seems to have gotten "stuck" and pressing the home key snapped a screenshot. This was bad enough. Now, both softkeys have stopped working, although the home button seems to work fine. I have done every reset on the phone that I can find, but still no help. Of course, I am still running 2.2.1. I can't think of any other cause for the problem except the update. Has anyone else had or heard of this and does anyone know of a fix?

I have had this problem before. What I had to do to fix it, was flash a 2.1 rom with Odin.
If you don't want to go that route, check in Kies somewhere in the tools tab for an emergency firmware recovery. Hook the phone up and see if that will fix your issue.
Have you factory reset your phone?
I have already tried the factory data reset and the factory format. Nothing from either of those options. I tried the Kies emergency recovery and it is asking me for a code that I have no idea where to get...
I am downloading the files now to try the Odin flash...I guess we'll see how that works.
The next logical question would be why did this happen? Will I be able to update to Froyo? Or is this gonna happen again the next time I try to do an official update?
It could just be a buggy flash. I really don't know the answer to that.
If your 2.1 rom has 3 files, flash with a 512 pit and re-partition.
If 1 file, no pit no re-partition.
Yes, you will be able to upgrade to Froyo afterwards.
Not sure what happened, but something didn't work right.
After the first flash, all appeared to be well, but when I tried to swipe the screen to unlock it, nothing happened.
So I tried it again. Now, there is an eight sided star type thing that keeps flashing on the screen. If I disconnect the USB cable, the Samsung screen keeps flashing. I can't get ADB or Odin to recognize anything.
Any ideas?
PHEW! Using the button combinations I was able to get back into download mode and I am currently flashing again. The most surprising thing is that the button combination trick didn't work before. Hopefully it will work this time.
Damn! So much for that. Even after flashing again, everything just keeps flashing. I would greatly appreciate any help or ideas that anyone might have.

At some point I might try to do the Froyo update again.
Now the bad news...soft keys still not working. Any other thoughts on what could cause them not to work?
The firmware that you have just successfuly flashed, was it 3 files or just 1?
Have you tried to update and touch key drivers previously?
I updated with a 3 file which I found at samfirmware.com. It's currently the only thing I could get to work. I believe that it is what I had before the Froyo update. And I seem to have all functionality except the softkeys.
I haven't done any other updates since or any driver updates. I didn't even know there were any.
Did you use a 512 pit and re-partition?
I had this problem before once, and I flashed this firmware and it resolved the issue. It's up to you if you want to try it. It is an Australian 2.1 firmware.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=45UEDN35
If you want to give it a try, use a 512 pit and re-partition.
Alright, I downloaded your files, but when I tried to unzip the files, I keep getting an error the the files are corrupt. Not sure what is going on there.
I am a dumba$$. I just realized that my wife has the EXACT same phone as me. We got them at the same time, so all the original information is the same. What I need is:

Edit: I did read through this thread a bit, and it seems that this rom may disable 3 button recovery. If that's the case, I would still flash this to get your softkeys working again. Make sure to flash the 3 button fix after this firmware flash if it no longer works.
I actually found and flashed that firmware a little while ago with no improvement. Still no softkeys. I am completely confused. I thought this was software, and now I am beginning to wonder. Is there anything else that I can install that might fix this?
Since I no longer have stock firmware and don't seem to be able to be able to find the original again, I'm not sure that I am even going to be able to take it back to my carrier, since I believe that the warranty is voided unless I can return it to the original firmware.
Hello,
I'll keep an eye out for that firmware, it has to be somewhere you would think.
In the meantime, to pull the backup from your wifes phone, I do believe you need root access. Maybe you can pursuade her by cooking her a nice dinner with a good bottle of pinot noir
In the meantime, I'll keep looking for you.
I'm not even sure how long it's been anymore, but I am still working on this...
Okay, so I think I'm just going to swipe my wife's phone and root it while she is not looking...
My question is this: Is there a guide that will tell me how to 1. root (then unroot) her phone and 2. create a backup of her firmware that I can install on my phone. Also, if said backup can be used with Odin, I will be happy to share it here since it seems to be lacking and much needed.
Hi Everyone,
Recently, I got a Galaxy S I9000M from a friend. The phone was running 2.1 firmware when I got it. There were two updates for the phone from kies(2.2 & Gingerbread) I updated the phone to 2.2 froyo from kies. later, kies stopped to recognise my phone. so I thought to root my phone and did using rootme 2.2. I don`t know if the phone was rooted but I could see superuser. Then I flashed with some ROM and messed my phone. on booting the phone stuck on blinking on galaxy s logo and will not start. After flashing few more firmware, I am stuck on brick picture on phone. I cannot go to recovery also but I can go to download mode. I am guessing that flashing the stock 2.1 may help to start the device. I have searched everywhere to find the stock 2.1 for i9000M but cannot find because many links are dead and samfirmware.com does not show me the old firmware. By the way, I have downloaded stock 2.3.3 (samsung-updates.com) which I don`t know will work.
Please help me to find the stock firmware or any other way though which I can solve my problem. Tell me which files do I need and how can I flash.
Thanking everyone in anticipation.
Edit: I found stock froyo 2.2 files and phone is working again
