Hey guys! i have a i9000m galaxy s. Itts running darkys 9.5 ,darkcore 1.4 and JVE modem. I need to send it away but im not 100% sure on how to return this phone back to COMPLETE stock! any tips? thanks guys!
returning to stock
Hi, just grab the ROM from Samfirmwares.com (Froyo or GB) and flash it with Odin, ticking repartition (going into Download mode). I suggest you to get the JVH version as this is the one that will be released by Samsung these days. Then install ramads Deodexed ROM over it to get better performance. Now you have stock ROM. Anyways, I recommend you to flash Juwes ROM on top of it that is as stable as stock and just has another theme besides several improvements under the hood.

There's the link to the firmware section:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
You have to register to be able to download.
Grab I9000XWJVH ## CSC = I9000NEEJV3 (CSC for nordic countries).
Then unzip and flash according the guides here or at samfirmware.com
no no no dont flash gingerbread 2.3
it is not out officially yet, well for most of us it is not. unless kies says its available dont use it.
flash 2.2.1 froyo, this is available world wide and will stop the nasty men at samsung raising their eyebrows.

I am a Bell i9000m user -- I'm using Froyo right now (JL2 modem) which uses the 850 hz band
I desperately want to go to a Gingerbread ROM.
I understand before flashing roms via CWM I need to change the bootloaders to the new Gingerbread 2.3 models
Can anyone point me to directions as to do this (I think it would have to be done via ODIN I'm assuming?)
Also, do I use JV1 or JVK ? what's the difference ?
Cheers
You could try ezbase, it didn't work very well for me though. (errors on boot)

Otherwise, you could flash the gingerbread bootloaders, then your choice of gingerbread roms, or flash the stock deodexed JVB in ramad's thread, with odin.

So JVB is the one to go with ? I am gonna flash the bootloaders first to turn it into a stock Gingerbread phone then go from there.
What do you mean by stock "deodexed" JVB ? what's the difference between deodexed and/or the original stock ? Sorry I'm still kinda new / learning

yes definitely go with JVB bootloaders (e.g here, for files and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924) and install a good base rom (e.g.Docs, Simply Honey or Stock Rom) that installs the full JVB in ziplined and deodexed form: this will aloow you to add features and themes later. If you only install the basic odexed JVB you cannot add themes or apps without risking (and incurring, boot crashes).
After you have the Rom installed you can go back to Odin and flash the KC1 modem if the JVB modem doesn't connect with Bell (or adjust the settings as per here on how to activate the necessary band within any modem).
You can than flash any custom kernel if you want to further tweak and adust your system. (Warning, this does get to be fun).
Docs didnt work as well as i'd hoped, i ended up going with Bezke's rom - plus it already had the theme i was planning to install haha.
Just got the 16GB Tab a few days ago...
Well after scouring the forums for all sorts of info, the amount of research done on the Tab by you people is amazing ........ and still searching for more info day by day....
I wish to know which version of gingerbread is the "most stable one" ??
The asian ones which have been recently released ? Or the latest european firmware ?
Because I wish to run a stock samsung's own GB version before straightaway going in for a custom ROM like Overcome...
Also if I want the closest stock ROM based experience should I go for -
[ROM/Kernel][GSM][Android 2.3.3] ROM based DXJPE (build 23 June) by DiP7 ???
ANother newbish question will be -
If I flash a ROM and install the provided kernel with it ? Do I need to also flash a new modem file via ODIN ? or the original file stays there ?
And do I need OCLF after installing a stock/custom GB based ROM just for some speed improvements and/or does the EXT2 file system conversion give boost ? (because OCLF in my Galaxy S SL i9003 really did make overall performance better) Also the lagfix to be applied is V1+ right ? or do I also go for applying V2 lagfix in OCLF?
Thanks for reading all this and I would love to hear your ideas over these questions ....
No , no need to for the modem file after flashing rom.
I see you are in India ( me too ) so Asian rom will be better .
No need of lagfix and oc overcome is very smooth .
P.S :If you flash Asian GB please tell whether it contains Indian languages .
A good stock GB rom choice is JQ1 because it has the proper, safe bootloaders, and can be easily rooted using the Chainfire CF-Root v3.3 kernel.
From there you can go in any direction.

Hey Guys,
I have changed my mind again, and decided to go with Darky's newest rom. I had always thought that 2.3.3 JVK came with the gingerbread boot-loaders but never see it mentioned in the areas that discuss going from one firmware to another. With JVK 2.3.3, is it required that I first flash a JVQ firmware first before flashing Darky's new 10.2? Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance. Specs as follows:
Bell Mobility I9000m Vibrant
Model Number:GT-I9000
Firmware Version:2.3.3
Baseband Version:I9000UGKC1 (Flashed this separately when I first installed GB due to poor signal.)
Kernel Version:2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655 se infra SEI-28 #2
Build Number:GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
CWM 3.0.0.5
Rooted
Have a look on Darkyys forum (link on his ROM Post) and follow TotallyDubbeds video of how to flash it, i was on a "stock" deodexed JVQ and followed the instructions to load it and went without any hassle.
This may be a dumb questions but I cant seem to find one, is there a stock gingerbread wifi only version available anywhere to flash on my tab?
Thanks
No the latest version is 2.2.1
Thanks for your reply, where can I get this?
According to Samsung Gingerbread for P1010 will be released soon.
Download 2.2.1 here :

hey thanks for this,
Will gingerbread update work straight from the tab settings->status->update or will the update have to be flashed on?
You can upgrade to Gingerbread from KIES when Gingerbread will be available.
But you must have official stock firmware installed.
OR
You can flash your Froyo and then install Gingerbread.
Hey all, in a bit of a time crunch. I have a friend coming over tonight with an i9000 and I'm going to help him flash a custom rom as he's disliking stock 2.x
I have just about every tool/rom/kernel/odin package/etc. imaginable downloaded for the captivate but I need to know what I can use on the i9000.
Here is what I need from you guys...
- A link to GB bootloaders (odin flashable) for the i9000
- A recommendation for a good clean & stable 2.3 ROM (he won't want 4.0 just yet)
- A link to an odin flashable kernel with the latest CWM
- i9000 windows drivers unless the captivate ones I already installed will work
I know the captivate and i9000 are super similar but I'm pretty sure you cant flash an i9000 with captivate ROM's even if they are i9000 based. The only thing I'm actually concerned about is flashing the proper bootloaders. After that its smooth sailing.
Thanks all in advance!
hey man,
the best way to do this is to flash the leaked jvu through odin found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596
You can find odin and 512 pit file for i9000 at www.samfirmware.com you can also find device drivers there too.
the leaked jvu is a pretty good rom for your friend, and from there you can flash any rom found in the i9000 development section.
