OK basics of my issue. My SGS has been a disappointment since I bought it last June from Voda with 2.1, Since upgraded to 2.2 via Kies and now various problems - weak wifi, lagging, black screens, crappy satnav etc.
I desperately need a decent ROM. I have rooted the phone using z4root and used OCLF. What I really want is Darky's ROM but all the guides talk about upgrading from build JPY whereas I have JP7 from voda.
Can anyone please help with simple steps to get from where I am now to Darkys stable version without sending me to some other thread which is not quite what is needed.
Thanks very much !!
I was on vodas ****ty branded network. I flashed to darkys 9.2 resurrection. Has video instructions on. Its been brill so far. Just go on process and kill kiestray.

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 !!!
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.

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 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

Guys,
I need help on upgrading my Galaxy Tab 7 running 2.2 Froyo which I bought quite long time ago. I plan to upgrade it to 2.3 but difficult in finding the bootloader. Can I upgrade to higher version directly instead of upgrade it to 2.3?
Please advise! Thanks
Follow my signature to overcome link.
when you get the PDF, jump to page 7.
Forget about he rooting, the bootloader check, etc.
the rooting guide is just so that you can backup.
the boot loader is included. in GB stock safe v5
Edit: I didn't notice you post in development section.
You are not developing anything, you should never start a thread in dev section.

My GT-P1000 Froyo 2.2 defile all solution
I have registered in this forum to get solution to my problem please.
I have this GT-P1000 that I want to upgrade but has defiled all solution.
I have tried all the methods using z4root, DoomLord etc
but refused to get rooted.
Please what can I do more
Since I will still root the Tab when I use Overcomer
I feel I need to know how to root before I start Overcomer softwares
Are you also on froyo?
If so, then you need to root only to check if you have a locked bootloader.
Otherwise, you don't need to.
If you want to risk it, just flash GB. Many people don't have locked bootloader froyo. Just saying.

I also had a P1000 on Froyo and yesterday I upgraded to GB using Kies only. I had root on the Froyo but since I didn't touch anything related to bootlocker and whatnot, I managed to upgrade via Kies.
A minor problem is that now I don't have the new Play Store, only the old market, I'm searching in order to find a solution.
Good luck
i want to upgrade my gt-p1000 on froyo but i dont know how can you pleas help me
