Update SGS to 2.2.1 in New Zealand - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Well I got voodoo working correctly on my phone, and the speed is much better but there is still some lag at times.
I'm wanting to upgrade to android 2.2.1 on Vodafone network here in New Zealand.
My first question is where do I download 2.2.1 for my phone and is there a tutorial which will tell me how to flash 2.2.1?
Cheers,

if u have Kies on ur comp u shd be able to update it from there
if not than download some non official rom from samfirmware.com
to be on the safe side back up ur Rom
oh and this could help ya

apparently they released the JH2 again but including a SPL fix, so people already on JH2 will need to flash back to JG8 or something, then flash forward to JH2 again to get the new SPL fix

I'm from Australia and my official Rom is DTJG4. This is the unbranded Rom as compared with the Optus version of the i9000.
from Italy, last official fw found in a galaxy i9000 bought by me last week is JM3. It's pretty solid with minimal lag. Gps is not good as it is in JM5 and over, though

If I remember correctly This bug is not because of the JM8 as I remember other people having it after they came from nexus phone 2.2 froyo to samsung 2.1 eclair roms you could be having a similar problem were you using Froyo rom before you flashed back to Eclair.

[Q] Getting back to an official SGS ROM

Hi !
Is there a way to get back to an official SGS ROM in order that the phone could be detected by Kies ?
Other question : could someone explain me the difference between JPY, JS3, JS5, ... ?
Thanks a lot for your responses !
In advance, I'm sorry but english is not my mother tongue, so sorry for the mistakes
Kies requires official rom product code hardware code etc to upgrade .
Unless you saved the rom that came with the phone then you have probably lost Kies upgrade .
Stock firmware is available but that's not what came with the phone .
Possible Kies workaround via Kies Registry Patcher in themes section but it may no longer work .
JPY, JS3, JS5,
Builds as in A first B next .
All froyo 2.2.1 builds .

Firmware - newbie help

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

Nice I'm on 2.3.4 jvr with jvn csc and jv1 modem and its the best combo and I have flashed every rom, samsung and miui

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
