I want to upgrade to official Froyo from Samsung directly but won't accept my current (and thought to be stock ROM) JH2. I read on other forums that this should be Bell's Stock ROM but when I loaded it and tried to upgrade using Kies it said that this cannot be upgraded...
Can anyone help me?

Registry patch it and under poof select the one that say's canada. Forgot which one. I did it that way and i was on jpo.
Oh and fyi, wrong section.
First, sorry about the section
Second, I'm not that expert in these topics, how do I registry patch it?
Get Link
Playaround with the spoof menu.
Thank you for your help...I will try this.
I too need some place to download JK4... I have a Captivate, so I can't use Samsung's update thing.

Hi All,
Does anyone know of any roms or themes that have been made specifically for the JL2 Froyo Firmware for Bell Mobility in Canada?
There are the Darky ROM and the DOC's ROM
i personally like more the DOC's ROM
Hi AllGamer,
Thanks for the info. Dumb question perhaps but how do I flash the rom to my phone exactly? I cant seem to get it re-rooted so I cant do the update zip and I am STILL scared to use ODIN for anything.
Any ideas? Please advise...

I know that you asked for JL2 but here's a thread on Bell and JPY. It's what got me started and I ended up flashing seeARMS' JPY.

Even with a rooted phone (SuperOneClick will do JL2 and can be found in the i9000 Dev forum), you're still stick unless you fix your recovery (which requires you to use ODIN to do so). You can get back to 2e recovery by flashing a custom kernel (e.g. SpeedMod found in the i9000 Dev section) or an older stock firmware (you can find JH2 at http://samfirmware.com).
Read up on the Reference thread. It's one of the pinned threads in the General section and will give some help on how to use ODIN.
Thank You to all of you who have answered me. I will look into these solutions for rooting and Themes/Roms...

Yiannisthegreek...let me know if you were able to root with JL2 and how you did it. I am still running 2.1 with the fear that I will be unable to root once I make the upgrade to 2.2 JL2
Let me know if you were successful

JL2 is easily rooted with Super One Click or flashing a kernel that has a rooting option in CWM.
Okey, first of all, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, so I need some help.
After long browsing I was able to root my Samsung Galaxy.
Now I want to update my Galaxy from 2.2 to Gingerbread.
Since I rooted my Galaxy it won't connect to Kies anymore, so I guess Kies won't work.
I have an Samsung Galaxy S I9000,
FROXO.XWJPA,
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Is it possible to update, if yes, how?
Thanks
anyone? :l

Download a FW from Samfirmware, the latest is I9000XXJVR (Its 2.3.4), then via Odin you flash a 3 file's, its CODE, MODEM and CSC, and pit file and tick re-partition
Xooley,
I'm new on the forums so cant post any links but if you search for "how to use Odin" then it's really not that difficult.
The biggest decision you have is whether to stick with a "stock" copy of firmware i.e released by the manufacturer or install one of the modded versions from the hard working developers on XDA.
if you have a rooted phone then this wouldn't normally prevent KIES from working, so it might be that your carrier (orange?) hasn't release a Gingerbread version yet.
You can get most stock roms from samfirmwares as stated above. If you've never installed a rom before, make sure you read about it (checked youtube) to see if there are any problems with the one that you have chosen.
best of luck
Hi All,
I bought the Bell version of the phone (Vibrant) because I wanted the front facing camera... Then unlocked and rooted it and inserted my Rogers SIM and have had no issues for quite a while. I successfully loaded Froyo when it became available on Kies without any sd problems. (had to re-root but no big deal).
Now I understand that Bell has released Gingerbread via Kies, but when I open Kies, it doesn't recognize my firmware at all... just shows blank.
I un-rooted and erased all data to see if that would allow me the upgrade but still nothing...
Can anyone offer any assistance or have the files that I can install using a different method?
Much appreciated,
Jamie
Use the search Luke....
Seriously, there is a huge thread detailing Bell's KG3, including dumps you can flash with Odin instead of using Kies. The best part? Even though it is only 9 posts down from yours, I ever got you the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211939
If you don't want to use KG3, just flash any of the Gingerbread roms in the development forum and flash an appropriate modem. 99% of those threads include flashing instructions.

Thanks,
I did read most of that thread but can't find anyone else who's using a Rogers SIM on an i9000m... I don't like or use Kies very often and I'm getting annoyed that it won't seem to even read my current firmware. MyPhoneExplorer seems to read it just fine but Kies seems to only want to be some kind of media toy.
I will borrow a Bell SIM to see if it will recognize long enough to use the Kies update, and if that fails I'll flash with Odin.
I assume I'll have to root again once I flash?

Yes you will.
make sure you have the latest version of kies, also make sure your csc is set to BMC (open dialer *#272*"your imei"*), select BMC and isntall that will factory reset your phone btw... after that it should work... I am not sure that a Rogers Sim card is affecting it, have you tried just pulling the SIM altogether and connecting? Are you running any custom ROMs currently or have you in the past? Maybe flash back to UGKC1 with Odin if you are and then use Kies to update.
Ended up finding some detailed instructions on "MostlyIrrelevant" for installing 2.3.4 with a Rogers (and Bell) supported Modem. a couple more steps to install the ROM, but it's a deodexed version of the international release with the bloatware removed and TW Launcher removed and replaced by TouchWiz... nicely also has CWM and Titanium in it too, so flashes are much easier from now on. (small workaround to get Bluetooth working but the solution was also in the comments section.) Next step to get back a couple pieces of Samsung bloatware back on... mostly SocialHub and Samsung e-mail... so I can connect all my contact lists and e-mail accounts into one place. I bookmarked the link to Pharaohnough's posting of the apks for these apps (THANKS!) that I want back but will have to wait 'till after work to try them.
Hi guys
As the title states I'm looking to update my wifes phone.
Firstly Im not sure if there is supposed to be a search for update feature like on my Sensation but i cant find one on the phone.
Its still on 2.1 update 1 Eclair DVJH3
Can someone be kind enough to tell me how/where i should look to update the firmware to something more current?
Do i have to root and installed one of the ROMs here or can i update to GB somehow?
Many thanks

Looks like you are on Telstra??
If you are still on the stock ROM and want to stay on stock ROM just use Samsung Kies. No rooting required and does not void warranty

Hi Lexrsk
Yes its a Telstra branded phone.
It doesnt really matter if i put a custom ROM on it as work will give her a new phone if i stuff it up, no questions asked. Its just so slow at the moment.
She was set up on the cloud through work and one thing the cloud people asked her when trying to set up her email on the phone was "Is it a telstra phone?"
Im not sure if they use some sort of telstra program on the phone to assist with setting up email on her phone for use via the cloud. So i dont know if installing a new ROM could screw this up. Any ideas on this?
Thanks again
Hi Lex,
Just wanted to let you know I updated the phone using Kies. Downloads kept crashing but finally got it updated to Gingerbread from Eclair.
Phone was taking over 4mins to start up but now taking less than 50sec also working alot smoother.
Thanks again for the info. I had no idea about that software.
I've being in the same boat, but Kies tells me that my can't be updated the like the rest of the SGS's. Kies can be more of a pain at times.

I'd like to second that! There doesnt appear to be any repository containnig the stock SGS telstra branded firmware (all links I have found have expired). I lost my backup with a hard drive corruption and have been looking for this for a while. Much appreciated if you would share
If you're upgrading from 2.1 to 2.3, a new bootloader has to be flashed as well

Here you go 1 Telstra Froyo and 1 Telstra Gingerbread ROM.
Froyo Password: whirlpool Thanks for blacra for advising that a password is required to unzip (If this password does not work PM me and i will post a new zip)
GingerBread
So here is the scoop. I've searched my a5s off in these forums but I can't get ahead. I have a i9000m that i want to root, apparently there is no one click root option for 2.3.3 GB, I've tried to flash a custom rom through odin, but can't seem to find the drivers for the device to be recognized in download mode. Basically all I am looking to do is unlock my phone, so before i pull the rest of my hair out and go back to my ****e old blackberry I am posting here, I know I'm the turd giving up and posting a new thread for questions that were probably answered eons ago. I also read somewhere that upgrading my touch button firmware was a good idea before flashing a new kernal..,. now they have decided to stop working
SG i9000m
2.3.3
baseband i9000UGKG3
kernal version 2.6.35.7-i9000ugkg3
[email protected]#2
build number gingerbread.gkg3
so if anyone can help me that would be great, because let's face it the blackberry doesn't hold up and I'd like to give it a good toss
EDIT: I've found the correct driver for the phone to be recognized, but I can't seem to find the original kernel anywhere. all the links seem to be dead.
So I'm wondering. CAN ANYONE SUPPLY THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FOR THE I9000M? I've read other users flashing the stock fw and then updating the keys in said fw and having their issue fixed. So can some kind soul please direct me to where I can find the files? Basically I'm looking for froyo 2.2.1 for the i9000m, but all the links are dead! and sammobile.com is down. can somebody supply said rom so I can flash back to original and fix my soft keys, which are essential to the galaxy..
