I've been running 2.2 now for over a month with no problems but noticed it was a little bit laggy so Installed and applied the one click lag fix from the marketplace which worked beautifully. I noticed later on that my computer would no longer recognize my device which is a big problem so I did a factory reset but that didn't help at all so I decided to reflash to stock. Problem is now my phone keeps flashing the i9000m splash screen over and over. I'm flashing with I9000UGJK3.tar which is stock 2.2, ive tried repartitioning since I did have the lag fix using the s1_odin_20100512.pit file and im still stuck on this damn screen. I have no issues getting into download mode or anything like that but i've spent the past few hours reading posts on here and trying to fix this and I just can't figure it out. Help anyone?
JK3 is 2.1 if I remember right. JL2 is the 2.2 for bell phones. I think the problem is you were on JL2, which has a secondary boot loader, which means you can't flash a 2.1 rom on it. Try flashing with JL2.
According to samfirmware - I9000UGJK3 Version 2.2 2010 November. I'll try flashing with that anyways and see what happens. Thanks for replying!
Worked!!! Thanks so much! Looks like i was using the wrong version, although both were 2.2 the one you suggested worked like a charm!

Hey guys,
i flashed my cappy from cog to the froyo but data and voice didnt seem to work, flashed back to stock then did a master clear and reflashed to froyo and same issue no data or voice, it shows the airplane mode although the setting says its off...
any suggestions?
EDIT: com.android.phone seems to be the problem, i cant access it using the *#... etc method...
how can i fix this?
I would try doing a master clear, then one-clicking. Also, some others said that simply rebooting may help. Also, is applicable, dont restore "system apps and data" from titanium backup, only "missing apps plus data" hope this helps
nope didnt work, i didnt even restore anything yet, its just weird because everything works flawless except voice and data....any help is appreciated
Settings
Wireless and Network
Mobile Networks
Access Point Names (is it empty? is there an entry but it doesnt have a green dot next to it?)
Menu button
Reset to Default
OR
if default does not work, try adding a NEW APN. you will find settings around the forums for APN
Go to settings and do a reset to factory in there. That fixes a similar error for me.

1.) Master Clear with current ROM
2.) Flash to stock JF6 using ODIN
3.) UPDATE TO JH7 using KIES MINI (I think this may fix the airplane mode issue)
4.) Flash to Froyo using ODIN'
This is exactly what I would do, let me know how it works for you buddy!
nope, i cant even access mobile networks it gives me an error "check simcard if its inserted" but it is, and when i flash back to jm or jh it works fine...

So only the update to JI6 (Froyo) causes the issue?
Maybe the link you downloaded from was corrupt? There was about 20 links last night haha.
yea only the ji6, cant be corrupt because i downloaded the orginal (was one of the first to download it) and a mirrored one.... still something fishy, be in mind i did have cog with voodoo and i never disabled it the lag fix... but im guessing the whole rom wouldnt work if that was the issue correct?
VooDoo would have been cleared when you did Master Clear, I believe.
Maybe try the Kies Mini update to JH7 and THEN flash the Froyo.

just do a simple re-boot......it looses the baseband after froyo update...a simple re-boot gets the baseband back.....try it!

..If this fixes it I will be shocked haha.
That's the FIRST thing I do if I run into any problems on android
im trying the kies jh7 then flash method, but i did reboot several times and baseband never came back....should it be unplugged to pc or plugged?
Let me know how the Kies JH7 and then Flash method works for you; I think it SHOULD work because I was on stock JH7 when I flashed to Froyo JI6 and I have had nothing but a great experience since!
sorry guys neither method worked, im guessing its a simple stupid fix...... its getting frustrating ...........
I was reading other posts where guys were having that issue with phones that were not on att network. This seems to lock you onto att and no other network will work. At least that was the opinion of the other posts.
FOUND THE PROBLEM BUT CANT SOLVE IT !!!!
com.android.phone ---> is corrupted, i tried going into it and it doesnt let me giving me a FC..
any one got an dea how to resolve it?
Start from scratch my friend:
1.) Re-Flash Stock ODIN JF6 and then update to JH7 using Kies Mini
2.) REDOWNLOAD Froyo JI6 using the same link I did:
http://www.ponack.net/designgears/I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe
3.) Before Flashing JI6 please do a master clear, factory data reset and FORMAT all your SD cards
Then that should solve any problems you have buddy!
just so i know im doing it right... can you tell me how to do a master clear please !!
To do a master clear, enable usb debugging on your captivate, go to the homescreen, open odin, plug in your device. Once it is recognized press master clear from the homescreen. It will clear it and reboot your device

OK.. First of all I want you to know that I'm not a n00b and that 99% of the cases I know what I'm doing with my phone but this is a weird one
Problem no.1: The simcard keeps on "disconnecting", resulting in disconnection from the network. Since the first seconds I start the phone it does this. Sometimes it doesnt even accept my PIN as being incorrect, but in the notification bar the SIM+! icon disappears for a moment. This is after I screwed a ROM and returned to stock using the OCD JF6.
Problem no.2: It wont master clear! No matter what I do, it wont do it. I tried since the first second when ODIN detects the phone. I tried it when it fully loads the ROM, it just wont go.
Background: Before, I had installed Froyo JPA i9000 ROM with Reoriented kernel 2.1.2 (voodoo lagfix+color,bln). Everything was soooooo fast on that ROM (with around 100 apps installed) but I wanted to theme it. So I tried to deodex it using xUltimate. I followed the (logical) instructions found in a post here and it didnt want to boot anymore... well, it did but in a FCs symphony.
I did what I believed is right and I returned to stock but I forgot to pull out the SIM card... then these problems appeared.
Gimme a hint what could I do. I'm asking first here because a working PDA without a SIM is .. acceptable but a totally bricked one is worse so before I take any steps further I need your opinion.
Thanks a lot.
No one?

Problem 1: can probably be fixed by reflashing stock with the SIM card *not* in the slot (that's about my only guess, never seen that).
Problem 2: master clear must be done with the phone turned on *NOT* download mode. the phone must be fully booted with adb debugging enabled in settings.
xUlimate: it's a poorly written application and it's success ratio is probably about 50/50, another tool to look into is auto-deodexer. Also, both the framework AND the system apps need to be deodexed to have everything play nicely (gtg taught me this one)
id experiment. from what i gather you were able to flash jf6 but it was a bad flash. does it still have download mode? maybe try to flash again and then try to master clear? maybe try to flash another rom, then try to flash back to stock?
this doesn't sound like anything anyone has seen before so your best bet is to just try something.
Thanks a lot for the replies guys!
The master clear was tried from all phone statuses (booting; finished booting; after the phone operated for a while) except download and recovery (i know is not suppose to be done from there).
I did reflash to stock without the SIM, same issue.
I will try flashing again some other rom. I'll try more and ill post the result here

OK, so, it seems that for some reason, after stock restore there were still remaining of XEE CSC in the phone..
I loaded the JPA back and now is all fine.
I am having the same issue, unable to clear with CWM or odin, or within the OS in either the stock rom or axura 4 or 5...
Can you please elaborate on your solution?
CSC looks familar to me, thats an ODIN file right? If so, what part of the phone would that be (kernal, modem, OS)?
What do you mean by load JPA? Odin package or CWM? WHole rom or specific parts.
thanks...this has got me stumped
Well, my issue is that I cannot use 2.1 anymore (any 2.1, tried stock Captivate and JM8 from i9000), I don't understand what is wrong but my first bet is that the /efs partition got changed in some way when I loaded JPA i9000 ROM.
Froyo works fine, any ROM I load give me full functionality but on 2.1 the SIM gets disconnected all the time and after a while the phone reboots by itself. Just to make it clear, I never had the usual Captivate reboot issue, it started when this SIM problem appeared.
Note: my product codes are fine, in both nv_data.bin and nv_data.bak the product code is finishing in ATT and my IMEI is available in both 2.1 and 2.2 and is correct, so no IMEI corruption here.
Could someone give me a hint?? Would flashing to stock with phone EFS clear help?
I have the SGS GT-I9000M from Bell, was running Froyo 2.2
Decided today to dabble around with rooting and roms.
Followed all the directions to installed Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition w/ Voodoo 5.4.1 kernel.
Everything went flawlessly and everything runs slick. Except for one small issue.
Now I seem to be losing network connectivity. Sometimes it will remain on "Bell", other times it will just display "No Service" or "Emergency Calls Only".
Have I missed something or done something incorrectly?
Any insight on this would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Also, is there a way to revert back to stock 2.2 if necessary?
Revert to stock via Odin
Darky problems check Darkys posts and FAQS .
jje
Tried and failed.
Went through every Darky's post I could find and can't seem to see anything like this being mentioned.
I even tried the Resurrection version, now my phone is a brick.
Does nothing but reboot over and over at the start.
Can't get into Recovery, only Download mode..
Suggestions?
Go to sam firmware.com download the android version 2.1 update 1 ughj2 or whatever its called. when its done downloading put your phone in download mode but first open up odin. select 512 pit and check repartion. Choose the firmware as pda and connect your phone to the computer and press start wait until odin finish flashing it and comeback and tell us what happened
I was able to get the phone working again, pretty much what you just said.. but with 2.2
Only issue is now I have no data network connectivity.
Zero options for it in the settings, and I've even called my cell provider..
They keep telling me to wait a few minutes and it will reconnect..
It's been a few hours..
Hello everybody.
I am having serious trouble with my phone and I was hoping some of you might be able to help me out.
I just bought my SGS 3 days ago. It came with android 2.1.1 eclair installed.
I had read that that version was not the best ( the first thing I saw when I opened the phone actually was an error screen, and the lag was horrible) so when I got home I decided to try and upgrade it using the official software for it (Kies).
Unfortunately Kies would simply disconnect my phone when I told it to upgrade, after which it would ask me to upgrade again >.>
So I decided to use Odin to flash one of the newer 2.2.1 versions.
I flashed a 'JS3' version with a repartition to 803 pit , but it crashed after rebooting with the dbdata error (which as I learned later was caused by not flashing a full firmware).
I flashed JPU after which worked great. It was fast and responsive.
However my phone kept crashing. Whether on standby, using apps, or just trying to dial a number, it would freeze, start vibrating, and sometime reset, other times just stay frozen until I force shut down it from the power button.
I flashed JS5 afterwards, with full cache clearing, factory reset etc. Still crashed.
Then I tried flashing Darky's 9.2 Ressurection. Loved it but I couldn't even set up my google account because it crashed constantly.
Then I went back to what I believe is the current official version for my location and carrier (Vodafone Romania), JP9 .
After flashing it didn't crash, but after a while (one night), it started crashing like crazy, even wound up with weird gray lines and a freeze in the morning.
I was hoping someone here might know what is wrong with it. I already sent it back to be serviced but I am thinking maybe I broke it somehow and would like to know how so I don't do it again.
The phone is network locked, which I later learned is usually a bad thing for flashing, unfortunately I didn't know about that when I started.
well first of you want to remove the network lock so try these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913681
next step is to register on www.samfirmware.com (its free) and here is where you will get all the latest official firmwares from samsung..
what you want to do is download (XWJS5) with all 3 files and PIT and flash that through odin with RE-PARTITION..
Before you do that, put your phone into recovery mode (volume up + Home button + Power button ) and do a factory reset / wipe cache ect...
so when you have done that and flashed the new firmware. let me know what the outcome is..
another thing.. ALWAYS MAKE SURE KIES IS CLOSED.... EVEN IN THE ICON TRAY... AND MAKE SURE DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE.
other than that you shouldn't have any problems
hi, thanks for the advice.
I already did most of that however. I did a factory reset numerous times, and I also did a full repartition flash more than once, to no avail.
I am waiting to get it back from warranty service now but I am wondering what went wrong.
Was it broken when I bought it or did I damage it somehow by trying to flash it while network locked ?
flashing with network lock wouldnt make everything force close. the worst thing that could happen when flashing with network lock is not picking up a signal and possible IMEI corruption.
i think you may have just flashed the wrong ROM, it happens to us all, but the more you do it the more experienced you become and you soon learn methods to restore things..
dont worry too much it will be fine when it comes back from samsung, just be sure to read up properly if you have any doubts.. or ask a question first you will get a reply quicker than you can Unbrick your phone..
My phone seems to hate the 803 pit file. Lots of force closes when I used it. Try using 512, see if that works any better.
Ok I know I borked my VZW gtab. I had GB2.3.4 running fine and when 2.3.5 came out I tried to flash it and some thing went wrong. Got from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328177
Ok I think it is just soft bricked, cause I can get odin3 1.7 to recognize the gtab. And heimdall 1.1 also recognizes it, but when I tried to flash stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175 it only gets to 31% and stops.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get
