Hey I just have a little quedtion
I just bought a new galaxy s and I am just wondering what will get better results
all I want for now is lagfix ...so
Should I update to froyo then root or root and stay at 2.1
What will givr me better results??
I think you should update to the JPX Firmware and then search for the JPA WiFi driver in the Forum. Because the JPX is so good that you do not need a lagfix. Just root it with CF Root. Do not take the JPY because it has a bad GPS problem.
PS: You can do it without flashing the JPA driver but then your battery
will lose aproximately 10% of charge per hour.

thanks for your answer ... But if I update to jpx and dont need lagfix why do I need to Root it ??
Btw am I supposed to be doing something differrent becausr I was going to update through kies...
I know that the JPX is an offical firmware but I thought it is only aviable in England over Kies? I haven't tried to update my Galaxy S over Kies because my friend did this and he bricked his one with that. I use Odin because it's more Stable.
If you root your phone than you have special functions for your phone. The CF Root flash too the 2e Recovery in which you can start the Clockworkmod. And trou this you can backup your whole file system. So if you ever will have a problem you can just flash back.
Like Time machine for the Mac.
Is that a reason for you to root? If no then you can live happy wihout it ;-)

Newly bought galaxy S eh?
Do your firmware update via Kies and stay away from Odin until you've read all the necessary stickies in this forum on how to update and what to back up.
Check the other questions/issues here in the Q&A about new sgs users getting in all sorts of trouble because they got too excited and flashed without reading and comprehending first.

Hey, thanks for all replies....
I am i total newbie on on galaxy s related stuff,
all i want to do is a lagfix.... i dont want to use roms or anything i like my phone how it is but i just want it a little faster...
I think my phone version is JG3? I want to update officially using kies...
once i kno more about this phone i might try some other ****..
but for now i just want to keep it simple.....
so from what i gathered is that if i update through kies i will get JPX which is the best official thing? then i dont need a lagfix?

oh this is simple. go to development thread and you should find a bunch of choices of Kernels. They mostly have Odin for you to download, then u can use Odin to flash a custom Kernel over your stock one. Then go to recovery and go to the advance options and Root your phone fromt here. All new Kernels are pretty awesome cuz they will root your phone for you and insteall superuser + busybox.

here's the easiest way to root your SGS..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
just make sure you follow the instructions:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode
The easiest way to root+lagfix (especially if you're newer to this sort of stuff) is to install Voodoo.
It will automatically lag-fix your Galaxy S and then all you do is install "superuser" from the market and you've got root. Nice and simple.

Another option is to go to samfirmware.com and using ODIN instal I9000XWJS5. Full instructions are on site. The advantage of this is you get a good stable ROM, smoothness, fast, better battery life and there is no need for a lagfix - much safer.
Enjoy your SGS.
i downloaded z4root and get a little bit confuse of the temporary and permanent root can anyone explain me whats the difference thanks.

It means that your computer must have the correct drivers for you Galaxy S. You'll be connecting the phone to your computer, the computer needs drivers to recognize the phone.
Just install Samsung Kies, all the needed drivers will be installed as well.

Your best and easiest bet would probably be to install the Spedmod kernel, or a custom Tom. Realty all you have to do is go to the developement section.

Your device must be rooted to do that.
Please.. Don't just try anything without a thorough read. You might end up bricking your device.
First of all, I am not a fan of Lag fixes, some lag fix users had lost their internal memory because of it and if you use it you'll only have 600mb internal memory.
I suggest you to upgrade to a stock Froyo 2.2.1. It is faster than 2.2 and almost on par with LagFixed SGS. I'm currently using Froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY and it is very stable.

Currently all froyo 2.2.1 is only for Europe Galaxy S. I installed mine via Kies Registry Hack. You can also install it using Odin.

I'm sorry but the kies registry hacking is no longer working, Samsung already blocked the kies versions 1.5.3.10103.102 and lower. Here's the thread

Your only option now is to wait for the official release on your country or Flash 2.2.1 via Odin, remember to backup before doing it coz it'll erase all your data.

Hello all,
I'm sure you have all been asked this question before, so I would appreciate as much help as possible.
I am really fed up with Three UK (H3G) with their lack of updates on the Galaxy S, so I'm looking to debrand my phone and install 2.2.1
I can't stand the phone lagging any more, even though I have rooted it and installed a lag fix. So any help would be great.
My phone currently has PDA:JP5 Phone:JP2 CSC:JP5 and is unlocked, 3 button is enabled.
If I flash my phone so that it is unbranded etc, will kies update it automatically when gingerbread comes out? If not I'm happy to use Odin again.
All help gratefully appreciated.

No, kies will only properly update stock rom. (unless there is a reg working patch around)
Install a kernel like speedmod that has clockworkmod recovery, and then do all future flashing with cwm. Forget about keis, it's junk.
Read read and read some more.

Ok so i would like to update my galaxy to 2.3 gingerbread official using keis.
I live in Australia and based on what i have read the update should be out on my model of galaxy. When i plug my phone into keis it is saying i have the latest firmware. I have done some reading up on this and if i am correct some of the hacks and things i have done to my phone could cause it not to be able to update and i would like to know if this is true and how i can fix this.
Things i have done:
- I am currently running 2.2 froyo
- I have voodoo lagfix and soundfix installed.
- I used sgs tools from market to use the optus apps which came with my phone that where unusable since i was with virgin.
- I applied a 3 button fix i found as well so i could update voodoo easier. But in the end i just used Odin.
One thing i read was that i have to restore the system apps to update it. which i have done with all accept one but the .apk backup for it is not working so i cannot. Will i have to use Odin and revert back to the original firmware and start again? Or is there something i can do from here?
Short answer- You can't.
Gingerbread isn't out officially anywhere at present (there was a brief period where it was out on Kies for Scandinavia- hence all the semi-official "leaked" roms).
On past performance we're likely to be waiting a fair while here in Oz- once Official GB Roms come out from Samsung you then have to wait for all the local carriers to add their garbage to it (and - according to them- "test" it) before it gets released on kies. I'd bite the bullet and just grab a nice rom from here.
Remember if you do decide to wait for the official update, you will have to downgrade to stock for kies to recognise your right to an upgrade.
+ 120 to that NO upgrade to 2.3.3 YET .
All upgrades are unofficial .When Kies has your upgrade it upgrades
Then before update undo lagfix .
Or to be really safe reinstall your original saved rom the one you saved before you started messing with the phone .

I think using odin to flash a stock rom back before updating by kies would be safe way

Depends Kies does not recognize stock rom as product code etc dont match = no update through Kies . Stock is not network supplied firmware as original .

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 Just got a Galaxy. and i ran the firmware update with has updated the phone to version 2.3.3 build bujv9. phone is unlocked
I have been looking at rooting as lag fix seems to improve speed a large amount.
I done a benchmark and got 885. but after rooting with voodoo it says you can get 2100 benchmark.
But it says i have to have version 2.3.4 to root phone. My newest update is 2.3.3. So i am not sure if i should root or need to. or can with the version i have.
Please can someone advise on best way to go. Sorry for long question. been used to htc phone for last year.
Thanks
Go to dev section, search for chainfire root kernel, dl ext 4 app for lagfix.
Once yr rooted with cwm recovery, you'll be able to choose any custom rom/kernel combo you want.
Happy days.

Hi
Thanks for replies.
Think i will root phone. Really love the Galaxy. miles better than my desire was.
But Samsung do not do much as regards themes and widgets like HTC.
I do get a bit of lag but phone runs pretty good with gingerbread.
HTC desire has nothing on this phone. and i can see the screen clearly when outside in the sun. desire was useless outside. And i got 32Gb of space now.
HI
My phone has the gingerbread rom BUJV9 Installed.
I am not sure what i have to use to root my phone with this rom installed.
I have been looking everywhere to find a straight answer. But cannot find one.
So not a clue which cf-root to use or if i have to downgrade first. Or if i can use any rooting tool.
Any ideas please.
Cheers
You can use also Hardcore kernel for that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975
Easy steps:
- download a rooted kernel for 2.3.4 (I prefer Hardcore or CF-root)
- open Odin and check "PDA" and browse to kernel file
- put your phone in download mode and connect it to computer
- pres Start button

Hi
Thanks for advise. rooted phone ok now. Got superuser working.
Just need to find a super fast rom now.
Are a lot of good custom roms and kernels here and every developers deserve at least a thanks from our side.
Personally, now I prefer S.U.R.F.A.C.E. rom with Hardcore kernel. Good battery life, fast and customizable.
In my opinion Froyo ..JS8 was the best and now Gingerbread XXJVR is the best, at least until now.
Cheers for advice.
I had HTC desire before so used to rooting with them. So now rooted will soon get used to flashing. It's just the first bit. But in the end Galaxy was peasy compared to HTC. And Galaxy is miles better phone.
