Hello,
It is the first time when trying to change ROM on my galaxy s. Before I start I want to be sure I take the right steps.
First of all some info about my phone:
PDA version is I9000BUJS3
PHONE: I9000BUJS1
CSC: I9000GATLJS2
I downloaded the ROM via Check Fus Downloader from samsung:
CSC: I9000GATLJP5
Phone: I9000BUJP5
PDA: I9000BUJP7
All I need to do now is to run odin and select the .tar file in the PDA field, correct?
Code:
Procedure:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (For kernel flashes, only PDA is required. For FW flashes, .PIT and at least a PDA is required. Some PDAs have Modem and CSC integrated. Make sure you have the correct .PIT file. Usually 512.pit)
3.Check the "Re-Partition" checkbox. (Only do this if you have separate packages for PDA, Modem and CSC! Don't do this for single PDA flashes or kernel flashes!)
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.When the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.
My phone was sim locked when I bought it ( now is unlocked, i suppose it will stay unlocked after upgrading).
Thank you!
Be carefull to flash firmware your phone need to be sim unlocked and network unlocked.Lot of people dont check this.See the post about it.

your phone will stay unlocked
and your instructions above are fine
should that fail - you may need a 2.3 rom with all 3 files instead of the 1 .tar file

How to know for sure? And if will fail it will leave my device in an unstable state?
And another question: Does the bootloader for 2.2.1 work with 2.3 ?
I think you actually need the stock FroYo bootloader to upgrade to 2.3? I may be incorrect, don't quote me. 2.3.3 has its own bootloader I believe.

need help and steps to flash a rom i am from india ........
You can find instructions on www.samfirmware.com. Just go to the rom download page. You will need to create an account first.
Anyway, it's quite straight forward. Open Odin, plug your phone into your PC with download mode on. Put the pit file in pit, the pda file in pda, phone in phone and csc in csc. (Some roms only have a single file instead of 3. That means the phone and csc is combined with pda, so just put that in pda). Leave partition unchecked. Flash.

you must be doing something wrong... if download mode works then it should be able to flash a ROM. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10860237
Hi,
Trying to unbrick my phone is driving my mind totally mad!
So far I have tried installing several CF roots with ODIN and tried to reflash the ROM with I9000XWJS3. All of them lead to no success, just a black screen and the phone vibrates every 10 seconds.
Trying to find information on this forum is easy.. but trying to put all those pieces of information together is somewhat impossible for me.
I am from the Netherlands and bought this SGS 2nd hand from someone who has rooted it. However I have no idea how that person has done that with which piece of software. I also have no idea what build number it currently has. However I do know there is no sim-lock, because the owner bought it from the KPN telecom provider and has no problems using a sim-card from T-mobile.
I am able to get into the download mode (3 button combo thingy) and Odin can successfully flash the ROM of my SGS.
Now what I need to know is which PIT, ROM, CSC, Modem files etc. I need to make this phone working again. Preferably I'd like to run it on Froyo 2.2.1 with Android market installed.
try downloading the firmwares from samfirmwares.com
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 download the firmware from here. preferably JM8 flash that thru odin with PIT and REPARTITION and that should do the trick. then you can flash over a new rom like JPY (2.2.1)
I've successfully unbricked my Galaxy with the 'Froyo ROM that does not brick' here - "h t t p://w w w.4shared.com/file/dJiyRz3v/EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA.html" (Can't post as actual link because I'm not allowed to yet, just copy and paste the bit between the speech marks into a new window and remove the spaces).
As per previous poster's instructions; flash through Odin as PDA with PIT and REPARTITION (Original instructions for this ROM said not to use repartition but that didn't work for me)
You should then be able to Odin flash any new rom you like, but when you do DON'T use REPARTITION or PIT, otherwise your phone will just get bricked again.
I feel that flashing the firmwares which needs partition is safer and better than those that isn't....for my case I prefer flashing JPU than JPY or JPX...it works every time I got my phone semi-bricked, hehe...
Hello,
Yesterday i had similar problem ater trying to flash Darky's resurrection edition.
After the boot i had a black screen just like you.
Here's how i finally unbricked:
Download
- PIT 803 file multiupload.com/6JX2LEUCTY
- I9000XWJS3 pakcage from samfirmware.com (european for my case), PIT803 version : hotfile.com/dl/100247999/301207f/I9000_XEN_I9000XWJS3.rar.html
(The pwd is samfirmware.com)
The package I9000 XEN I9000XWJS3 contains 3 file (which i think is the key, trying to repartition with only one PDA file seem to soft brick the phone)
In Odin, tick repartition, for PIT select the PIT 803 file
For PDA, choose I9000XWJS3-REV03-ALL-low-CL830616.tar.md5
For CSC, choose GT-I9000-CSC-XENJS3.tar.md5
For PHONE, choose MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5
After the flash, your phone will reboot in rescue, unplug it and do a wipe/factory reset, then reboot and you should be ok.
The goal was only to unbrick my phone, but i'm totally happy with this firmware for now, my phone is a lot faster than before, and i don't feel the need of a lagfix anymore!!
Please note that this is just my experience, and you should wait for more advanced users help.
my brother found a couple of roms, they require 2.2, the phone is upgraded to 2.3.3 taken from samfirmware.
how to get back to original rom? i forgot which number was it 2.2 or 2.2.1
You need the rom you wanna be on I.e JPU, JPY etc and Odin, turn phone off and put in download mode, open Odin and connect phone, a yellow box will appear to confirm phone has been recognised, then extract rom (if downloaded from samfirmware.com) then tick repartition in Odin (far left box) then click pit and browse for the file you just extracted and select the .pit file, then click PDA and select, the click PHONE and browse the file for Modem, then click CSC and browse for CSC. Make sure all files are in the correct place, make sure repartition is ticked and when your sure all is well click start
Sent from my CM7 modded I9000. Kernel is one mean son of a Glitch!
does the rom need to have the old boot loader included? or is it always included in roms? ive seen some post like "with boot loader" and "without boot loader"
will new boot loader work on old roms?
After installing the lastest "S.U.R.F.A.C.E" ROM on my GT-I9000 I'm presented with the Galaxy S logo and nothing else,
Tried and tried vol up + home + power number of times now with no avail.
Everything was working fine before was able to boot into clockwork recovery ect, unfortunately I do not have a usb cable so can't try odin any help would be great.
Grab yourself a jig from ebay or the likes, or make one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
It will boot into download fine the problem I have is it won't boot into recovery is there any way I can wipe it or does it look like I am in need of a cable?
Then reflash back to stock using Odin
What were you flashing from as surface is an oxeded rom, not dexeded.

clockwork recovery, i take it I messed up here so
No, meant what rom were you on before your flash? Stock?
oh sorry got the phone of a friend looked like a custom samsung rom, build version was easyprojectv2 if that rings any bells?
Looks like the problem was caused by trying to flash a odexed rom over a deodexed rom, or not having the correct bootloaders for the new rom. Normally before a flash I would return to stock (firmware from sammobiles.com) first via ODIN, do all the wipes, flash a kernel so you have a nice clean install to 'abuse'. Then I would add any custom rom from there be it by ODIN or by cwm.
Grab yourself a usb lead, nice clean flash and start again.
Ok so I've 3 file here:
APBOOT_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CODE_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
KERNEL_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100803.pit (not sure if i need this as was in the root of the odin folder not the firmware?)
Where do the other 3 file go PDA PHONE CSC???
I am also stuck on the same front, i donwloaded rom from samfirmware but it only had PDA part and nothing else, please suggest which official rom should i download??

I would go this way mate, first grab JVT from sammobiles.com ( register first)
Flash that using ODIN
Comes with 3 files, CSC, PHONE and PDA
PDA file goes to PDA in ODIN
PHONE goes into MODEM in ODIN
CSC goes in CSC in ODIN.
Also select PIT file, should be 512 on the PIT section on ODIN, hit start and it will flash then reboot.
Then open ODIN again, connect phone and flash your KERNEL to the PDA section of ODIN.
Then grab this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117579
and flash using cwm.
Your then on JW1 all rooted and ready to play.
put the "APBOOT_I9000XWJW1_CL788890_REV03_user_low_ship.tar" file into the PDA and flashed it. Everything seems to be working fine might stick with the stock for a while never really needed to be rooted.
ok i just popped the SIM and have no network access when i tap on Mobile Networks in the setting it tells me to insert a SIM????
the firmware i had was wrong didnt have a modem. Downloaded a jvt as buttwad said flashed an now everything working perfect now. cheers mate!

How to Install Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread Value Pack on Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000
Download CF-Root for JVU
CF-Root Installation Instructions in Post #1
Install XXJVU firmware - Here
Then Install Semaphore 2.5.0 - Thread Here - Direct Link to Semaphore 2.5.0 Here
Note that XXJVU isn't the latest 2.3.6 firmware, XXJW6 is. If you wanted to install that then the procedure is essentially the same you'll just need the XXJW6 files and CF-root or semaphore kernel for XXJW6 (i'm not sure if there is a semaphore kernel for XXJW6). But running a rooted XXJVU firmware is good enough, especially if you're gonna flash a custom rom. There aren't many differences between XXJVU and XXJW6
Here's some detailed instructions on the process;
Before you flash:
1.Backup all your important files and data
2. Download the JVU stock firmware and the (Download links provided above)
3. Make sure your phone is fully charged.
4.Disable and kill the Kies process from task manager in windows on your pc. It will interupt the flashing process.
