cheers

i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though

Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel

Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks

there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app

[Q] Flashed to stock 2.1 Optus FW - how can I upgrade to 2.2?

Hello to whoever's reading.
I had flashed to a stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread using ODIN a while ago and decided I no longer wanted it due to zero 3G internet connection (mobile phone calls and sms' were fine, had KOR in firmware details, don't know why), so I downloaded the I9000DTJG4 2.1 FW which is the stock Optus firmware provided with the SGS handsets purchased from Optus outlets.
I flashed the I9000DTJG4.tar and the 512.pit using ODIN no problems. I am now trying to upgrade to 2.2 Optus Official Firmware using Kies 2.0 but it said that my phone was up to date, so I uninstalled 2.0 (will explain why in a second) and installed the Kies that came with the handset in the CD (version 1.5.1.10062_7), and this is the following problem I get:

}
I was following this thread to trick Kies into thinking that my phone was on 2.1 (which it actually is, don't know why Kies won't let me upgrade) - http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1537182 - which is why I installed Kies 1.5.1, however this also doesn't work.
What can I do to get 2.2 Official Optus Firmware on my i9000 through Kies?
Kies 2.0 advices my current firmware information is as follows:
PDA:JG4 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JG1
This version of the device cannot be updated.
My phone says the following:
FW: 2.1-update1
Baseband: I9000DTJG3
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.DTJG4
Is there no other option but to download Optus' 2.2 FW from samfirmware? (EDIT - I can't find it lol!)
Thanks in advance.

Few updates, downloaded Kies 1.5.3 and used regedit to change the following values:
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000DTJG4/I9000OPSJG1/I9000DTJG3/I9000DTJG4"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKAOPS"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000DTJG4/I9000OPSJG1/I9000DTJG3/I9000DTJG4"
Still no luck. Anyone?

Bump. Flashing back to stock Optus 2.1 surely fixed my 3G Internet but I'd still like to know how I can update to 2.2 Official Firmware through Kies please.
Thanks.

[Q] Kies crashed Galaxy S update now bricked !!HELP!!

Hi.
I tried updating my Samsung Galaxy S to the latest firmware using Kies (all official), as it was updating i got this message: "disconnect the cable, then battery, then replace battery and turn on and then try again"
So i followed the given steps and i get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I searched on this forum and found a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975) which i followed and lead me to this screen:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h9VbztnoEqs/TamSqYdBRyI/AAAAAAAAAEs/oxp7FUo5WRs/s1600/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode.jpg
Only problem is, what should i do after this? It's on that screen. I dont want to root it (yet...), but want to update it to its latest firmware.
Kies it probably the worst, misguided software i've ever used.

Can you give a link to the official latest firmware, so i can install on to the phone.
Thanks

You could also try "emergency recovery" or something like that from the Kies. Our use Odin/Heimdall to flash stock rom. Don't worry you'll get your phone back up and running

I tried Emergency Recovery on Kies, nothing was coming up, so that was a fail...
Can someone please link me to a good tutorial to Install a stock rom on to my phone please?
Thanks.
Edit:
I've found this Tutorial, should i refer to it for my situation?
Edit 2:
Can some one link to a ROM that i can use for "[GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000" as the current one linked on the thread is dead.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
[GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000: Detailed guide for n00bs
Use jvu, one of the latest official:
http://hotfile.com/dl/140301534/be8872c/I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar.html
No need to put anything to your sdcard as you dont have cwm.
Read the guide, get odin and 512 pit
Use search.

Thanks for the links!
I have looked everywhere and i cannot find the 512.pit, only one i found had a dead link.
Can you link me to a working link please?
Thanks
Edit 2:
Hey, nevermind, i manage to find the link and download.
I've installed the firmware it is 2.3.6! So happy
Thanks a million!

4.1.2 upgrade error

Hi all,
My name is Joe and ive recently purchased a s3 i9305 4g 2gb/16gb. I'm trying to install original firmware upgrade to 4.1.2 but am getting an error in odin. The error is: The parameter is incorrect.
Any reason this would be popping up. I've been able to load various other firmware through odin with no problem. The version of the firmare is exactly the same as the current version installed on the phone. the only difference is the build 4.1.1 trying to upgrade to 4.1.2???
Any help would be appreciated.
regards
Joe

possibly a corrupt download? try redownloading the firmare

Hi All,
Latest news on thwe 4.1.2 upgrade is that i redownloaded the firmware still the same error. I then installed onin mobile and tried to load the firmware from that handheld application and presto it loaded. Waited for the firmware to do its thing. Finished and when the phone rebooted it was still 4.1.1. I need to re root my phone as i lost root access, and it appears that the firmware is not actually 4.1.2 but infact 4.1.1. Handset states it still 4.1.1. The firmware in question is the Hong Kong supposed upgrade 4.1.2 from SamsMobile. File name I9305ZHBLL3_I9305TGYBLJ1_TGY.zip. Has anybody else experianced the the same result with this firmware?
Regards
Joe

Hi,
I installed some random firmware and it got installed. But then phone started looping in boot.
I searched xda and found another thread which i did odin and fixed boot loop.
But after that again to square 1. The actual issue is that as soon as the phone is started the apps, services like google.com.etc etc starts crashing and phone barely boots up. How do I fix this crashing ?
Please help.
Thanks.

[Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat
and flash the gingerbread stock ROM, if you have poor Mobile Network reception problem, you can change the modem for India later, so follow guide and flash with PIT and JVU ROM
or you can flash a rescue kit ( it is the same) If you have everything saved, its best you format your internal SD card for a clean install.
