and want to find out how i can update to a american 2.2, or anywhere that has 2.2 released
i want the ROM to be a stock though, and not via ODIN

Only method is to use something like the rom kitchen or use Kies Registry patcher to spoof phone details .

JVK (2.3) on Bell I9000M?

After searching google I've read a few fairly recent articles that say installing 2.3 on a Bell I9000M is possible and they all give a broken link to the forums here. I've checked samfirmware and the only JVK (2.3) firmware they have there is Europe. I'm very computer literate but fairly new to firmware upgrades / messing around with my phone so I'm just wondering would I be able to install European 2.3 firmware of my Canadian I9000M from Bell? Or is there a special release of it that I need to get? I've poked around here a bit but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. The firmware I'm talking about is the I9000XXJVK release. Thanks in advance, didn't think I could have this much fun with my phone.

Been curious myself had nightmares with the last upgrade... Three sgs's from bell. They didn't like that but i was within the 30 days doa clause.

Pretty much any of the stock or custom JVK or 2.2 Roms will run on your Bell Vibrant. I've used Darrky's, Doc's, Ultimate and Serendipity with no problems. Most of the current modems work fine on Bell, although I try to stick with a JL2 modem if I can. It seems to get slightly better signal. Use Doc's Rom Kitchen and you can pick and choose your options including the JL2 modem.

Done and done!. If anyone else is curious head on over to samfirmware and grab the European I9000XXJVK release, working for me atm. About to apply root from the last thread jentech posted. Thanks jen!

JVK upgrades the bootloaders though right? If you install the version without the bootloaders, you will get into a bootloop right? The bootloaders in JL2 is what is preventing the i9000m from getting corrupt SD failures from what I understand. I would really like to know if updating the bootloaders with JVK will open our phones to the corrupt SD thing again. I would love to hear some feedback from i9000m users who have gone to JVK. Like how long they've been running, and especially if there are any i9000m users who have upgraded to JVK and got corrupt SD. I'm not excited of going through yet another i9000m. Thanks!

I would love to know the answer to this question as well!

ive been using criskelo's 2.3.3 rom with no problems... all you have to do is flash stock jvk with bootloaders from odin and then flash a speed mod froyo kernal
after goto cwm and flash the criskelo v25 rom and then get the ugkc1 modem
from criskelo's rom page (page 40 i think cwm 3 compatible)... and flash the rom in cwm and everything willl run awsome... the rom is unreal ive had no problems at all on my i9000m (remember to enable all animations in settings to get the crt screen off effect... runs way smother and faster then froyo....

I too have been running on jvk for the past week+. I've alternated between criskelo and juwe's and am currently on juwe's for the past week with no problems. I changed my modem from the jvk one (poor reception) to the jk4 and it runs as normal. give both criskelo and juwe a try to see which u like better (personally the smoothness and battery life of juwe has won me over) as neither has caused any problems at all once u follow the appropriate steps like those that remenis outlined.

Flash your providers modem would be best if you're having issues

[Q] ICS Rom for a SGS GT I9000T

Hello I need some help.
I have been searching the forums to see if anyone has been able to install an ICS Rom on an SGS I9000T. As you might know it all about the 850mhz band for 3G and NextG (H). I have stock GB 2.3.3 JV8 firmware installed and my phone is rooted as well, but I have not been able to find any kernel that fits the stock rom to be able to have CWM Recovery. Can anyone please help? I really want to have ICS installed, but I have no clue on how to install it and I have not been able to find anything in the forums. Sorry for the noob question... Thanks!!!
