Is the build version of.....

A Bell Canada Galaxy S I900UGJH2?
Looking to revert back to 2.1 from a leaked Bell 2.2 build, since the phone ended up in a boot loop, managed to get it to the Galaxy S screen after flashing the above build with the 512 pit, but thats about it, its just a black screen ATM, recovery mode doesnt work with the 3 button combo but download mode does, am I missing something here? Do I need to add phone and CSC files too?

Yes. Any firmware starting with i9000UG is a Canadian firmware.
Search the general forums for someone who has linked to a JH2 firmware that also includes an SBL file. Depending on which 2.2 firmware you flashed, you might need this.
If none of this works, flash JL2 and call it in for service/replacement.

Thanks a lot I appreciate the reply, Ill take a look around for the JH2
If this doesnt work and I flash the JL2 do I only need to flash that PDA and the 512 PIT? I assume I would flash the JL2 pretending that I upgraded to 2.2 when it was official in Dec and now its messed up to have it covered under warranty?

Here is how you fix this:
- First off, download odin3 v1.7
- then download i9000UGJL2 and i9000UGJH2 (the JL2 is the recent stock rom, JH2 is 2.1 that your phone shipped with, they are both .tar files so make sure you see that)
- download the latest speedmod kernel from the development section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
get the "speedmod-kernel-k12p-500hz.zip"
- boot odin
- put your phone into download mode then plug it into your computer
- odin should see it (you will see under ID:com)
- click the pda button and locate the speedmod.zip file
- click start, it wont take long and your phone will reboot (you should have recovery mode now but we're still not done)
- put your phone into download mode again
- close and reopen odin so it's back to default
- plug your phone in and make sure odin detects it
- leave everything default but check off "phone bootloader update"
- click the PDA button and find the i9000UGJL2.tar file
- click start (this time it will take longer and flash the entire ROM)
- now when you go into recovery mode it should ***** about dbdata missing
- put your phone back into download mode
- close and start odin again (leave everything default this time)
- plug in your phone and make sure odin detects it
- click the PDA button
- locate the i9000UGJH2.tar file and then click start
- this will flash the stock rom your phone shipped with, once it's done it should boot fine
- then you can plug kies in and flash JL2 on top OR flash a custom rom
- good luck, let me know I can post the stock ROM's if you cant' find them but they are on this site somewhere
PS your phone isnt' dead, so dont waste your time getting it replaced, it can be brought back to life so dont worry. I was in the same boat as you once and if this works dont forget the thanks button!

Ok well I reflashed back to JH2 already, Im pretty sure I was on JL2 when it went into a force close, then was just constantly boot looping, so now Im on JH2 and it boots but only to a black screen, after flashing it through Odin the phone reboots itself into recovery mode, I tried doing the update.zip that was showing in the card but it gives me the E:Error business, so I just selected the reboot, which takes me to the black screen after the S logo is done
My only concern is if I apply the speedkernel pda and that doesnt fix it then if they were to actually check the phone and they find the modified kernel they will know I was messing about with it, one other issue I was concerned about was not being able to get into download mode, since I cant get into recovery with 3 button, the speedmod kernel doesnt change any of the secondary bootload options does it?
*edit* I misread what you posted so it does change the bootload by allowing the 3 button to work

You can always flash back, if it takes a flash through odin then it will flash back. If you follow those steps you should be fine, msg back

Thanks Ill give it a try
Ill post back how it goes

The challenge is that the symptoms being reported are also associated with unrecoverable problems. It would be great if you could enter recovery and indicate what if any error msg you're getting below the menu.
If the above directions from spectre85 don't work (great post BTW), don't kill yourself. Call it in for a replacement.

Ya I agree, once you get into recovery mode you can tell us the error you are getting, if it's complaining about missing dbdata or some kind of missing data your still ok. If it's the dreaded can't mount SDcard then your sunk

Bahh I think its soft bricked I tried spectre's advice and it was boot looping again, plus even with the new bootload it still wouldnt go into recovery, I just put on JL2 and am gonna bring it to Bell..... good thing there was issues with the version so I can get this under warranty
Thanks for your help guys I appreciate it
Yall got double and triple thanked

Phoenix 4.1 questions

First of all, nice work. Looking forward to 4.5. This was my first custom ROM install, so I have a few questions.
1. I didn't notice the auto-lagfix being applied when I installed. I am getting a quadrant score of about 1060 and it seems most people are getting much higher. Not that I am experiencing a lag, but just curious.
2. I am guessing I should start over when 4.5 comes out. I didn't try anything different than what came with it.
3. I love the orange theme, but would prefer the stock phone dialer buttons. How would I change that?
4. I did notice some issues with internet connectivity using the modem and not wifi. I shouldn't need to enable roaming, right? GSM only should work too? Why would WCDMA even be an option? Is GPRS an option or is it 3G only?
Thanks.

I think Adam usually provides a statement whether or not you can flash 4.5 over 4.1 or whether one requires a wipe, flash to stock, and fresh install. I'm hoping 4.5 can be flashed over 4.1. Unfortunately, I don't have any answers for your other questions.

I was wondering about that myself. I couldn't find the voodoo folder that is supposed to exist to disable/enable lagfix. Any body have any ideas if the lag fix is actually installed with 4.1 or if there is other work required?

It seems to be just fine without it. That makes upgrades alot easier.I hear the folks who have official 2.2.1 overseas don't use a lagfix anymore.

Phoenix is based on 2.2.1 jpy.
As for the lagfix questions, with the included kernel you need to boot into recovery and choose advanced ulk, then enable/disable there.

thanks. ill try that later. looks like a new version of the market and google music might be announced tomorrow.

Went through these steps and it appears to be working just fine. Thanks. So if I need to disable lag fix, I have to go back into recovery and not create the disable-lagfix folder like on the www.phoenix-hq.com FAQs?

Just tried it too. works like a charm and boosted quadrant up to 1300. Yeah I imagine that you(we) have to remember to disable it to flash another ROM.

So flashing the browser fix just involves copying the zip to the sd, renaming it update.zip, and use recovery to apply the update?

You don't need to rename the browser fix zip, or any for that matter. Just reboot into recovery and flash the fix by selecting it just as you do for a rom.

It looks like Adam and Xtreem haven't updated the website's FAQ section in a while. The first versions of Phoenix-Rising used DG's Firebird kernel, which used voodoo lagfix. Creating a file/folder named "disable-lagifx" to disable your lagfix only applies to voodoo lagfix. The lagfix on hardcore's kernel (which is the stock kernel used on both of Adam's roms) uses the ultimate lagfix configuration, which is controlled entirely through the recovery menu. Voodoo and ULF are similar to one another, but the user configuration processes are different.
If you need to reflash something, disable the lagfix first by booting into recovery, and follow the same steps you used to enable the lagfix and just select disable instead. However it is best to flash back to stock first before flashing a new rom, so yea, I would recommend starting over when you're ready to install 4.5
Changing the dialer is not all that complicated. Head over to the Phoenix/Firefly themes thread, you can find a bunch of different flashable dialers over there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896339 Zelendel just finished a few new ones that have the stock button configurations in place. You'll have to look for that post, its somewhere near the last 1/3 of the thread.

quick question ( I would search but its broke, and i cant post in the phoenix thread until i have 10 posts)
Presuming its cool to flash this over 4.1, my brother did it with no problems, i just need to know if i should check backup rom or clear and wipe data in rom manager when i flash from sd card
New to the android stuff, but the first rom i tried to flash it locked up while installing it, he then told me just to flash straight from rom manager, worked great, so im going to try that
Thanks, i asked him but hes sleeping lol

I have the pheonix 4.1 rom. I noticed that using the power button it allows you to choose download mode. If I open odin one click and go into download mode this way will I be able to flash back stock or will I get stuck in file analyzing? I'm a little afraid to try because I don't know if I can leave download mode w/o bricking it. It's a miracle that I got it unbricked when I flashed the first time.

Yes, push and hold the power button gives you the extended power menu. Flight mode, Power off, Reboot, Recovery and Download. I've written some detailed instructions on how to flash back to stock JF6 and Master clear. Which I recommend doing when changing ROM's
Flash to Stock JF6:
1. Download Odin One Click from: http://www.mediafire.com/?0w2y31maz8mdom4
2. Download your Windows Drivers from:
Windows 64bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re
Windows 32bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?0b45zo7o75rc5d5
3. Make sure your USB cable is connected directly to the back of your computer, not a USB hub or to a front connection and all of your drivers have been properly installed
4. Do not connect your USB cable yet.
5. On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”
6. Turn your phone off
7. Remove your SIM card and Micro SD if you have one
8. Open Odin One Click
9. On your phone, press and hold the Volume up and the Volume down buttons. Do not touch the power button. If you have a ROM that supports a extended power menu, just press and hold the power button until the extended power menu comes up
10. While holding them, or after you select DOWNLOAD mode, insert your USB cable, wait for a couple of seconds and a yellow triangle with the Android figure will show up
11. You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered
12. Press “Start”
13. ***VERY IMPORTANT*** Do Not mess with your phone at all. If you lose your USB connection, you could brick your device, and will possibly have to make a jig
14. When it is done, your phone will reboot and Odin will display “Removed”
15. Unplug your USB cable from your phone
16. If you are proceeding to Master clear, you must close Odin BEFORE Master Clear
Master Clear:
1. Ensure you have backed up all of your information onto your Micro SD or your desktop BEFORE doing this. IT WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR INTERNAL SD!!
2. Make sure to remove your SIM and Micro SD if you have one
3. With your USB cable disconnected from your phone, open Odin One Click
4. On your phone, go to ; Settings/Applications/Development/and check “USB Debugging”
5. Connect your USB cable to your phone
6. You’ll see in Odin, that your phone has been discovered
7. Click “Master Clear”
8. When the Master Clear has completed, your phone will reboot
9. The phone is now as it was when it came from the factory

do not rename the file to update.zip, that name is used by recovery. just use the name as it is.

Thanks, I thought I could use the power button. Thanks again for the help.

We need more information to go on. What rom and what themes have you applied if any?

Flash a new kernel with Heimdall or Odin.

Certain Roms/themes have settings which allow you to select/deselect items you want to include on your power menu. So it depends on which one you're on as to how you go about changing it.
As example: Apex Rom has app 'theme settings'. Down toward the bottom you just select or deselect what ever you want.
If you had it before but not now, maybe something went back to default and you'll need to go to those settings and change it back.

I am using Continuum v5.6
kernel
2.6.35.7 - I9000XWJVH-CL184813 reorient_G#18
As far as I can tell there are no theme options.

How long should darky's rom take to apply?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm trying to install Darky's 9.5 and was following this guide: darky.ficeto[dot]com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-darkys-rom-on-2-2-2-2-1-i9000-i9000m-only.1041/ (replace [dot] with a ".")
After step 7, it's been on the "Installing update" screen in recovery mode for the past 25 minutes. Is this normal or did I screw up? What should I do?

Is it done yet??
You mean this bit...
7. Then using the volume keys to navigate and the Power button to select, do the following:
Select 'wipe data/factory reset', and then select 'Yes'. Important! This can take upto 2 minutes, so don't panic.
Select ‘Install zip from sdcard’.
Then select ‘choose zip from sdcard’.
Now navigate to the ROM zip, then select it.
Then choose ‘Yes’.
It can take a while, but usually it gets pass that screen, and gets too the boot bit. Can you give any more specific details, like what it says on your screen...
Btw have you triple checked that you didi everything it said?? You were on froyo before hand right?

Yes I was on Froyo, and I clicked install zip file and selected darkysrom. It then said installing update and was stuck on that for over 40 minutes until I held the power button and it restarted onto the stock froyo.
Just to confirm, we can use the Darkyrom tool from the market right? I noticed the configurator they were talking about isn't available anymore. I probably sound a noob, sorry

Noob! Don't worry about that, I still consider myself a noob...
You want the darkyrom tool by the ficeto
Atleast nothing else went wrong and your back to stock... Is there any particular reason you dont want the latest darky rom?
Anyway just read the process again and make sure you follow it to the letter. If you run into any problems then just come back here and we'll help you best we can.
This link is for 10.2RE and then 10.2EE ontop which is essentially the same thing but comes with all the apps preinstalled if you choose. You can also use the darkyrom tools to configure what you want before you flash. If you miss anything go to the last tab and install it from there. If you want the very latest stable, after flashing 10.2 RE (RE means through odin, EE means zip file flash through the phone) just flash from the link below (sig). The links have instructions in them.

Hi, I have searched the forum for the answer to this question but couldn't find anything definitive so please don't yell!
I am installing Darkyrom, but am a novice when it comes to Android Devices. I have a lot of experience working with Linux/Windows desktops and servers though so you don't have to speak too slowly.
The PIT portion of the Resurrection flash has taken around 15 minutes so far, when I previously flashed a new kernel (a lot smaller, I'll admit) it did not take this long. As the total file size is ~300 mb for this ROM I wouldn't have expected it to take this long, although repartitioning could potentially take a while I guess.
My question is - how long should I expect the PIT/repartition portion take? Has it fuxxd itself somehow?

Well If you have left it i guess over an hour now and it still hasn't completed then your going to have to start again.
Unplug it, this should only put you into soft brick which means you get a phone a triangle and a computer (or without the triangle) all linked by a line when you try turn on the phone.
Go back into download mode (vol down, home, power) and restart. Make sure all kies processes are not running...

Yeah it was definitely rooted. Disconnected and got the soft brick you mentioned.
Rebooted my computer and killed the kies process.
Went through it all again, worked fine this time, just finishing up now. Stumped as to what happened. I am using Odin 1.85 but I wouldn't have thought that would make a difference (walkthrough lists 1.3 but is rather dated so thought it was just a lack of updating).
Thanks for your help
EDIT: By rooted I mean broken sorry. Local slang.
