Israeli Galaxy S Owners

There seem to be more and more of us appearing in XDA, and on the streets of Tel Aviv the Galaxy S is appearing almost as often as the iPhone these days...so perhaps it is time for an Israeli thread (similar to the Indian one) where we can share tips and experiences dealing with Pelephone, Cellcom and Orange.
Post and say hello...hopefully we will see 2.3.3 officially here soon so exciting times ahead.
If you are looking for something new to try while we wait, Simone101's Simply Galaxy ROM, based on 2.2.1 features a multi CSC just for Israeli users, so check it out. Always good to support devs who support our own little corner of the Android community.

Haide!
going on to have a big community

Does anyone have a flashable zip file of Pelephone's JJJP3 modem?
Thanks, I need it to be eligible for the Kies upgrade, if and when it arrives.

Check on iandroid.co.il..

I did, they just have the Pelephone firmware as a single tar. All I want is the modem.

the pelephone tar there is not working for me :S....
extract from the tar the modem.bin file
go to romkitchen make an update.zip that have just modem...
paste the modem from the tar to the folder and compress it to zip and flash it through CWM...
and i'm not sure that will help you...

Hmm..that sounds reasonable. If I flash it and it is a bum file in the end, can I just reflash another modem afterwards?

ofcourse... first make a backup...
if you try the a modem from the rom kitchen than change the modem.bin inside and flash it again... just for checking...
i didn't try to change the modem.bin but I flashed modem that i downloaded from the romkitchen...

Hi guys.
about the modem - JPG is doing wonders to this phone.
Battery, reception and GPS ( use gps aids, always have an updated LTO file get a fix in 10 sec every time)
in iandroid.co.il there is a pelephone stock version with 3 files for odin ( i know i put it there,needed one bad...)
So just so you dont need to look here's the link :

JVE is good at me...
GPS working good I used it at saturday when driving and I got 11/11 satellites...
I tried today in college and I got 7/7 in the Class...

Excellent....I had downloaded the big single file and then made my own flashable modem, just in case...but it is always good to know I can flash back to vanilla stock if I need to.
If you ever need a flashable multi CSC file for all Israeli providers, check out Simone101's Simply ROM thread, he was kind enough to make one for us.

Some custom ROMS are beginning to appear got 2.3.3, and of course the leaked pre-final stock, but no sign of the official release by Samsung. The new rumor is mid april, maybe.
All I know is I am going to stay with 2.2.1 until the official rom is released, has had time to mature and been put through it's paces by the XDA devs.

Ok just picked up a Galaxy S, best upgrades, tips tricks?

I'm gonna look through some other threads also of course. However, I'm leaving for a camping trip tomorrow so anything quick you all can recommend I would appreciate it. I have some experience with android from rooting my nook and getting CM7 on it. I also don't want to get in "trouble" with Verizon so only suggest "approved" tips etc. Thanks!

Ok trying to get Kies to work but its not connecting. Saying something about a PC Studio mode that I don't see anywhere.

Kies is a disgrace (((
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

So what procedure would you recommend to get the latest approved firmware update installed. (Step by step please, I'm an idiot).

Kies is the usual way to get the official firmware for your phone, so you'd probably need to troubleshoot your pc/figure out how to get it to work. There are a couple of threads around on getting kies to work, eg http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758212
Alternatively, you can note down your firmware (dial *#1234#), which should be the correct official firmware for your region. Then have fun flashing whatever custom/'unapproved' ones you want. If you ever need to bring back your phone to the service center, flash the original one you had, and they won't know anything

Verizon fascinate just got froyo today. Maybe you should hit the fascinate forum for more information about your device. Good luck and enjoy.

Carrier specific firmware?

Hi all, have been searching the net and these forums but so far, not come up with a result.
I have a galaxy mini as my spare phone and rooted it when I got it. I then managed to semi brick it and bring it back to life but the only firmware I was able to get on there was the Carphone Warehouse one.
I'm on Three UK and the phone is locked to three. What I would like is to be able to get the official three firmware back on the phone but the only one I found was an old froyo one which didn't work for some reason when I tried flashing with Odin. It got just to the end of the download part but didn't actually flash beyond that point and the phone wouldn't boot etc etc so that's when I resorted to the CPW firmware.
As I am having some issues with the phone, that's why I would like to be able to get it back to completely three firmware as I suspect my problems are down to the wrong one.
Sorry to be long winded and sincere apologies if the answer is already here somewhere but I really cannot find it.
Thank you in advance.

I have yes. I've looked all over, can't find anything. I did find one for 2.3.4 for three uk but unfortunately when I clicked on the link, the file had been removed. Can't remember if that was a link on SamMobile or another site now though.

Oh dear, it appears the only gingerbread rom for three is Italy and I'm uk. The uk one listed is the froyo one that I have already tried. Will download it again and try it but don't think it will be any different to before.
What a shame. Wonder why there isn't a gingerbread one for three uk when there is for Italy.
Thanks for trying though, I do appreciate it.

ya me too, need one for 3 for UK, the gingerbread ver 2.3.5
can we get that from anywhere?

give me a good reason why i should stay with a stock firmware?
what about those Custom ROMs?
some of them are very interesting to try.
i might even re-partition my SGS, so i can learn how to update, root, and install ROM's myself.
i'm not even sure if my phone already has a MOD in it or if its already rooted, i still don't have it now. but i'll have it this weekend.

Each ROM is customised differently with different features. Basically stay stock if you do not know what features you want.
DO NOT flash a any ROM until you have backed up your EFS folder (google hint = IMEI).
If you ask what is your EFS folder you are not ready for a non stock ROM.

On most proper instructions for flashing a rom, EFS backup step is compulsory.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

If you really need a reason to stay on stock:
1. You need to get used to the phone.
2. You never flashed SGS until now.
3. You have not read anything the other forum colleagues gave you.
4. You did not even tried to search the forums before posting this.
5. You might brick the device and then get back here and complain.
Need more? Sorry, but before posting you, and others that want everything on a plate, should use search and read everything posted here.
The "Galaxy S I9000 General" section clearly says: Discussion about the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 (tips & tricks, etc)
Every custom rom has a "How To" section in the OP. Also, every rom has a "What to do in case of" section. So you can try it on your own. There were cases in which the owner hardbricked the device in the first 45 minutes after he received it. So be careful.

i don't know what EFS even mean.
i'm just lazy to read all of it and there's not much i can understand.
so maybe you're all right that i stay with the stock firmware.
my phone still hasn't arrived, i'll just post here again what firmware it has and how should i update it.
btw, one more thing, so custom ROM's acts like a customized Android firmware, is that right?
and thanks for everyone who replies here and gives me their advices.

Again many this has been covered on many threads relating to flashing ICS ROMS in particular. Flashing can result in the IMEI number being over written Your IMEI is stored encripted in a file contained in the EFS folder (IMEI = unique number that identifies your handset on the mobile networks) and then not being able to make or recieve phone calls in extreme examples to random apps downloading from google play or not able to access google play at all.
For more info on this i strongly suggest that you google "backing up EFS folder" and "backing up IMEI"

but there's a custom ROM that has been leaked that looks like Android 4 (ICS).
will there be a Android 2.4?
i never knew that Android needs a lot of work compared to iOS where it just needs to be jailbreak for you to have the freebies and to be open source.

Iphones run on a common HARDWARE
Android have many different versions of hardware ie Samsung, HTC etc etc etc
Each android phone requires the base code of Android to be customised with device specific drivers etc hence the difference between Android and Iphones.
Your wording is exactly that "CUSTOM" meaning not a Samsung ROM.
As stated before Samsungs stance with the SGS 1 is that they will not release ICS for the handset as there is not enough available RAM (memory) for ICS and their Touchwiz apps

i think i want to install a ROM if i get my Galaxy S by tomorrow.
which one is much better?
CyanogenMOD or DarkyROM?
is this link below the instructions on how to root my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7152078&postcount=2
should i root my phone first?
or should i already go with the install of CyanogenMOD or DarkyROM?
how do i even know if my phone has already been rooted?

I updated the 1st post with more details.
i have my phone, its model is SGS I9003.
too bad Lexrsk can't help me further but i hope someone can guide me in rooting my phone.
please look the updated details on the 1st post.
can i even do the rooting on my phone?

Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.
