Hi I am new here and so this is my first post.
I am using a Vodafone Samsung Galaxy I9000 and I am wanting to flash it to one of the 2.3.3 available on SamFirmware. I am not new to flashing firmwares and have done it on many other devices I have owned over the years, but none as important as my phone.
My reason for flashing is Vodafone are terrible with updates. I only got 2.2.1 in January.
My questions are...
Which firmware do I choose? (on samfirmware it says use samfit to check something, but I am not quite sure what it is I am supposed to check for? My cirrent firmware is I9000BUJS3)
I have read the instructions on how to do it, but do I need to do anything before hand?
Official Samsung 2.3.3 was released yesterday . You may care to wait for the official upgrade for your phone through Kies .
Current Samfirmware are for Nordic region NEE . Samfirmware i s not Samsung they just collect whats around .
If you want then use the last firmware posted on samfirmware .
Or wait a week or so and build your own rom in rom kitchen . I say wait until the devs have worked through all the fixes and themes etc .

files, what should be on it at this data.
Please Help me, and will donate to helpers.
Thanks, and sorry about my English
You have a leaked testfirmware installed: JPH... there is only one newer testfirmware: JPK, but there are no bis differencies to you JPH so you dont need to update. Android 2.2 (Froyo) is officialy not released by samsung, we are all wating. So it is all okay for you. Wait until samsung releases froyo officially and you can update. Your original firmware depends on the provider from which the phone may be bought in ireland.
... But please use the right sections to post here.. This is android development. We have a section especially for questions and answers.

if you are the europe model i9000
then it's either JM1 or JM2 some people claim JM1 is better, but newest is JM2
if you have the i9000m canadian model
then latest is JH2
Today's lesson: Don't buy phones from gay people.
Ok, I'm will use I9000XWJM2 rom, but what about phone and csc files???
same for all 3
if you got to samsfirware site they will have all 3 zipped in 1 package
Hi there,
I would like to use Odin to flash my SGS 9000 to the latest version of Froyo 2.2.1 (stock Samsung), and the latest radio firmware.
In this thread the list of firmwares are listed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
I want to use Odin to do this.
Current status of my 'phone
2e Recovery with 3 button recovery and download mode is enabled.
PDA: I9000XWJM2
PHONE: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000OXXJM2
Pcode: GT-I9000HKATPH
What to use
Which one of the listed firmwares can I use to get the phone up to the latest version? I think these, but am unsure:
I9000XXJPU|2.2.1|2010 December
There is a URL to a file called "All CSC Download". I think the latest file is called: CSC_I9000OXFJP6.tar.md5
Will CSC_I9000OXFJP6.tar.md5 work on my 'phone, and will it offer any improvements over I9000OXXJM2?
Regards.
im using doc rom and it is blazing fast. Doc and others provide great support if your in trouble.

Lovely, but you should start a new thread about Doc ROM. This thread is about using the latest stock Samsung 2.2.1
If you require advertising space for doc rom then might I suggest Google Adsense?
Doc's ROM = Froyo 2.2.1 (without most of the bugs stock has)
Please read the android development section. It's not nice to just wait and be spoon fed all the info if the info is just a few clicks away..

Apologies about the doc rom message I wrote. I had misinterpreted it.
I wont flash non stock firmware. I only want to flash the latest Samsung including CSC.
The reason is simply lack of information about what everything does. All the threads tell me to do step A then step B, but seldom explain what & why. Thus I am unable trust what is said, & will therefore only use the official Samsung.
/EDIT:
I have searched for Doc Rom on the web, so far only found this site:
http://www.galaxyroot.com/howtorom-a-noobs-guide-to-installing-docrom-xxjpu-v1-1-with/
I was looking for a list of the following for Doc Rom:
Changelog, indicating reasons for the change from stock Samsung.
Diffs between files of the code changes made.
Release notes.
Does anyone know where I can find these?
Samsung XXJPU is a leaked firmware.Samsung didn't release the source code for it.

Oh. Perhaps Android is psuedo open source.
is this the same for the CSC I9000OXFJP6? ( Although I don't know if this would work with my 'phone so my question may be moot)
If you are that distrusting and need to know exactly what and why things are changed , you will never be able to flash any firmware again .. You willnot find a byte per byte explanation .. And because you do not trust rommod you can also not trust leaked roms !! Who knows , maybe somebody changed somtheing in the leaked firmware .. The only right thing for you to do is wait for a rom update via kies ! But ..... be warned Samsung also doesn't deliver a changelog !!
Hi everyone
I just got myself an I9000(UK) and it is still running on Android 2.1.
The latest firmware Kies offer me is PDA:JS3 / PHONE:JS1 / CSC:JS2 (VOD), seems like much older than the Gingerbread. I know Samsung has now pulled back the Gingerbread update but I notice people are talking about JS5/JS8 in the forum, can I download these relatively update firmware from Kies?
I understand root is not that hard. Of cause I want a fast phone but honestly stability is quite important to me as well. With so many combinations between PDA and PHONE firmware, I just don’t want to use too much time to try them all.
So in short is there anyway I can download some relatively update firmware from Kies?
Thank you very much
Depends upon the phone provider and its Product code .
O2 UK phone will match its firmware and hardware ID and O2 product code on Kies server likewise Voda Orange etc .
If for instance your phone was bought from O2 then you get the latest firmware from O2 does not matter what sim you are using .
Yours is a Vodaphone product so its them that update .
PDA:JS3 / PHONE:JS1 / CSC:JS2 (VOD Looks like latest firmware 2.2.1 and is significantly faster than Eclair ..
Just update via Kies and wait until 2.3 is released .
You cannot have Gingerbread until it is released by Samsung and uploaded/modified by the relevant phone providers .

Thanks for your reply.
I notice people are talking about JS5/JS8 in the forum, what is the difference between newer JS5/JS8 and JS3? only miner debug or more functions added?

Difficult to see some visible difference, as always most of people said that the latest is faster (placebo effect ?). The JSx ROM are very good in fact, no real need to upgrade from JS3 to JS8 as far I know (I can be wrong !).

Hey everyone,
finally i managed to make an account here, cause i need your help. I´m looking for firmware that could have official updates via kies in Estonia (CSC: SEB). Can someone send me link of firmware that i could flash. At the moment i got error via kies: " your device does not support firmware upgrading via kies".
I flashed JVS firmware, but that has only few CSC in list, but i need SEB.
I think your best bet would be to go to Sammobile.com and look in their firmware section, they have a big range of stock firmwares. If you just want a newer Android though I'd recommend looking under the i9000 development section though, it's full of really good ROMs. Hope that helps.
thanks for that link, but i'm afraid there aren't any firmware for baltic countries. I need firmware that supports CSC: SEB.
Hey developers,
I allways used to have HTC's, but now I have a SGS I9000. With HTC I know my way with flashing and stuff but now I got an issue. I don't know if this will brick my phone and I can't find too much information about with the search function.
So here goes, I got a hungarian I9000 from a friend, though I'm dutch. Now I want to update the phone to android 2.3 but there are no PAN (hungarian) updates available from Samsung, I tried the registry key hack with KIES but then my phone would disconnect as soon as I would start the update. Then I realised I could flash firmware with 2.3 from another compatible phone version, like the Dutch one. So I downloaded KIES and the dutch firmware but then I realised that if the firmware is not compatible with my version of the I9000 I would probably (hard/soft)brick my phone.
Also, when I put in *#272*IMEI# there is no option to choose between countries for me, which I read all over the internet there should be.
So please advice me in flashing a new stock 2.3 ROM, I really want it to be stock android
Thanks in advance :angel:
