Just bought a samsung galaxy s gt i9000m phone and so far I have done the 1 click root on it and installed rom manager , busybox and titanium backup. I have flashed the Clockworkmod recovery to the phone and looking to update my firmware to 2.2 if I'm able to.
Right now I am running firmware 2.1-update1 from bell and kernel version 2.6.29 darae.ahn Sep-20 #2 . Build Eclair UGJH2
I can get into recovery and download modes without a problem , would anyone mind letting me know what my options are for froyo 2.2 with this bell phone? Thanks alot in advance , looking forward to any replies and help with my questions.

Try the Doc/Kalpik rom. I'm running version 6. Simple to install, with no issues (for me anyways)
Xwjpa v7.6.2
Can I put this on my bell galaxy s ?
Choices are ..:: Current Releases ::..
XWJPA: V7.6.2
XXJPO: V7.6.2
I can't tell which would be better for my bell canada galaxy s gt-i9000m , any help appreciated !
I'm also running version 6 and it is awesome.
None of these roms were designed for the Bell phone so pick whichever one you want. There is a link on Docs first page that may help you decide which version to install. I have used a few of Docs roms and they all worked great on my m.

Thx guys , did alot of reading and in the end I installed Docs XXJPO 7.6.2 on my bell samsung galaxy s gt-i9000m and its working great !! Only problem I have is it will not accept the lagfix that was reccommended in the read me , hoping someone can answer why to that , otherwise , great to be 2.2 !
Honestly, try it for a while without lagfix. I haven't used one and I notice no lag at all.
I already applied it , to be honest I wasn't seeing the lag but I wanted to get it over with rather than 3 days from now be on here asking about it. I am going to go thru the readme now to see some of the other goodies that were there to choose from and hopefully be done messing on the phone for a while ! I bricked my first galaxy s this week so being cautious with everything now !!!

just wondering if theres any concerns with spoofing the firmware and using kies to update to this.
do i need to choose a bell csc after i flash or will i need to manualy enter apn? thanks all
im just disapointed with bell being so far behind (still 2.2!!)
I tried yesterday night with NEE code but kies didn't find any update.
I also want to know the answer of this question.

Ok so i did some screwing around with my i9000m from bell seeing as how my little boy fried my last one. Want to load gingerbread you can do it just pay attention to a lot of things. I loaded Juwe's build now here's the key I've got the xwjvb kernel running so far no issues right now the only issue that comes with this rom is the modem doesn't like our towers here in Canada go figure right! but alas you can load the KC1 modem after going through the xwjvb build aka gingerbread it works. take a look at Juwe's rom it's well worth the effort and looks great! Good Luck out there!
I'll have to try that one
if you want to use Kies you will probably have to wait a while for Bell to catch up. Bite the bullet, install Odin 1.7 and use it to install the JK bootloaders (see thread) and either the stock deodexed JVK or the Rom of your choice. Using a Rom based on CF3.1 gets you rooted and installs CWM which will allow you to do everything else later without using Odin again. See the help/install for Doc's Rom and the instructions for CF3.1 they are laid out very straight forwardly (and see the q and a sextion) .After, add the KC1 modem if necessary -- I use it and it works great and is the latest modem for BMC (Bell). The reason to load deodexed is that you can that add and change themes as you want. You do not need the Bell CSC stuff. Couple of good guides now posted: seems a little daunting at first but works fine. Read first and know there's lots of people here to help: got a lot easier once I leanrt the SGS is actually very hard to kill completely: most locks are just a soft brick!
Hi,
I currently have 2.2.1 PDA I9000BVJS4 / PHONE: I9000BVJP4 / CSC: I9000ORAJS4 and i want to switch to stock 2.2.1 . My phone was bought from an online shop, not from an operator and it was not branded. After the 2.2 update via Kies i had a FW similar wich ended in CNX (Vodafone Ro, it might be I9000HKDCNX, not sure about it). Can you give me some pointers about which version of 2.2.1 should i flash it to and a guide how to do it ? last time i tried i got to the S of death and the only way out was a friend of mine which could only install my current firmware.
Thanks!
If you want stock 2.2.1 then search for EZBase. It has everything you need to flash to that with clear and very easy to follow instructions.

How can EZBase help ? from what I read it makes easier to switch between zipped roms.

Ezbase is basically stock + root,

As i descriped in the OP I am a bit afrade of flashing it without a proper descriptiun. Diggin in the forums and apropriate usage of the seach box lead me to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100906 ; i'm going to try it on monday
That looks like good thread, hope it all goes well, pm me if you have any problems

Optimal would be one the firmware that came with your phone or its updates via Kies ..
Second option would be current firmware Samsung stock rom version that matches your location .

Flashed to JPY as described above, set CSC to XEU and updated via KIES to JVO all's all right.
Hi all,
I am wondering if someone can guide me to the correct direction.
This is my phone (samsung Galaxy I9000)
Model GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.1-Update 1
Base Version: I9000 DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected]#2
Build Number: ECLAIR. DTJG4
It is unlocked - orginally from Optus.
this phone feels very slow and not very responsive at the moment.
I am thinking of upgrading the firmware hoping that it will improve the persformance
Can someone please tell me which firmware will be best for me? I'm not going to root the phone and I am just after most effecient firmware (good wifi, GPS and signal)
I am not sure which one is most stable for my phone.
Thank you
you could flash a stock gingerbread rom.the ones with bootloaders.jvh is pretty stable.2.3.4 ones will have phone fc bug..you'll hv to root ur phone to get rid of that bug..stock roms u can dwnld from ramads thread..for gps/wifi/signal u will have to flash the appropriate modem.there was a thread comparing modems somewhere here on the forum.try searching it.if u really want near zero lags it would be best to do ext4 lagfix..but again rooting will be reqd.gb roms are fast without these but lagfix still brings noticeable change.
Thank you for the reply.
It seems that I am gonna need to do root on it.
If that is the case, It will be much appreciated if I can be pointed to the correct link (tutorial - step by step) to get this process.
After reading some of the psosts I get really confused with all the type of firmware and kernel etc...
any suggestions and links I can follow will be much a great help much appreciated
Thank you again
The below links helped me out.

Read the tutorials carefully, then read them again and again until you are sure and confident. do not use if you dont feel confident.
Make sure you have the 3 button combo (recovery and download).
You should be able to update to gingerbread via Kies JVN 2.3.3 -optus

Hello, you can try JPY on 2.2.1, it's a stable firmware without the bugs of the gingerbread, if you doesn't want to root your phone.
Thanks for all the replies guys,
I just upgraded to GingerBread 2.3.3 XWjVN.
My next question is:
If I want to get rid of all those Optus rubish - Can you please tell me which firmware do I need to install?
There are so many types and I really get confused which one is going to work for me.
I have seen my friend's SI9000 very fast and snapy - is the firmware upgrade the way to do it?
Thanks again guys

Hi all,
Tesco in the UK are selling the 7 inch Galaxy Tab for £149, down from £399, so had to buy one.
I'd like to root it but not sure if it is one of the rootable Tabs.
This is the information from About Device:
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJP9
In the Mobile network type it says HSDPA
Is this Tab rootable, and if so, which method should I use, and which files do I need to download?
Many thanks
Gaz
Hi Gaz.
I managed to get one last night from tesco too.
Just rooted it using the method on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Very easy.
Now I'm on the hunt for a decent custom rom, but need to install recovery first :s lol

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like you rooted it before updating the ROM to Gingerbread in kies. You would have been running the original Froyo ROM, which I believe the method above works for. I don't think it works with Gingerbread.
I don't want to install a custom ROM, just want more control for backing up, removing bloatware, etc.
Thanks
Gaz
You're right (sorry I had missed you had Gingerbread right out of the box). I rooted the stock Froyo version, then updated to Gingerbread via the Samsung Kies updater.
Then I re-reooted using the following:
http://www.review-ninja.com/2011/08/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-gingerbread.html
Very simple and works for GB ;-)
Thanks for the link. Nice to know it works. If it works on yours it should work on mine; I just wasn't sure which of Chainfire's kernels to download as he lists several here on XDA and none seemed to match my Tab. I'll give it a go.
Cheers
Gaz
That worked a treat.
Thanks for your help. Always safer to check before doing this as it would be embarrassing if I'd bricked a 1 day old Tab!
Great value at £149. Thank you Tesco!
Glad you're sorted
Yeh kinda impossible to take it back for an exchange if you brick it, seems like the stock is well and truly gone now.
hello my friends. im new to this site
wanted to ask how do i update my samsung galaxy gt-i9000
i have the firmware 2.2 and i want to update to the latest firmware because my phone barely moves and always gets stuck. by the way im from israel
my baseband version is i9000XXJPK
kernel version 2.6.32.9
build number FROYO.JIJPA
please help me out here as quick as you can
thank you very much
Either update through Kies (official way), or use Odin (a leaked Samsung app with which you can flash your phone) and a ROM of your choice. You can find enough documentation here on how Odin works
YouTube it. Lots of nice easy guides on how to do it. You'll never go back to stock!
you can go to development section of the forum. there are lots of description about it.
