I have tried searching to find out which version of gingerbread I need, I am in the UK, my galaxy s is running...
Froyo baseband version I9000 XXJPY
Build No FROYO.XXJPY
Firmware version 2.2.1
can anyone please advise me, thank you..
JVR is the most recent mate, don't think it's available on kies yet - but there's many a juicy custom rom waiting for you in the development section. If you check out MilkyS, it has all files inc odin required to flash.

I can't update via Keis as I have tried but nothing happens so I was going to flash via ODIN but don't know which one to use...
Which gingerbread one do I use as I'm in the UK, will any Europe one do?
Any will do, but you want the most recent. If you want stock jvr, then search this thread (it won't be far), if you want custom, check development thread. The modem is vaguely area specific, the csc is country specific - you want xeu.
As before, if u fancy custom, MilkyS has odin in the download package and full flashing instructions in zip.

You can read darkstriders sticky for more info on flashing.

It's excellent. Fast, smooth and very good battery. Enjoy.

Hello everyone, I am on darkys 9.5 and I wanna go or flash stock rom of JVP 2.3.4 for the sole reason of being able to use video call for skype coz it doesn't support on darkys 9.5 which is froyo.. My concern is, is it ok to flash directly over darky 9.5 (lagfix off) the stock JVP stock rom? Or do I have to flash other version first like 2.3.3 before JVP? And if I am able to flash it with 2.3.4, how do I root it so that I can restore my apps? Your knowledge would be of help..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
You cam backup your apps with Titanium.
Flash like this:
- download XXJVQ with bootloader (you'll find it here on XDA)
- back up contacts, photos, etc.
- disable lagfix
- flash fw with Odin (inclusive PIT-file + Re-partition ticked
(- root with another kernel, enable lagfix) <--- this must not be done

Ah this is the info I dont know yet, about this bootloader thingy.. So if I flash to another version like from froyo to gingerbread, I should flash with bootloader in odin? I downloaded the custom room on samfirmware.com the JVP version, does it include the bootloader on those files? And if I dont flash with bootloader, does it mean I can't update to gingerbread? They say flashing with bootloader is dangerous so I must be careful..

If you change the Android-version (from Froyo to Ginger, from Ginger to Eclair,...) you always have tto flash a firmware including bootloaders. If you already have 2.3.3 and you want to uograde to 2.3.4, you already have the Gingerbreadbootloader so you could choose a firmware without bootloader too.

Thanks a lot lunchbox for the info..
That's the thing I need to know.. I know I can find somewhere here in xda the gingerbread bootloader.. Any other precautionary you can advise before I start? So I have to enter four files, the PDA, CSC, MODEM and BOOTLOADER on the odin to make it work?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
No, just enter CSC, PDA and Phone and - if you want to - the PIT-File (if you use a PIT-File don't forget to to tick 'Re-Partition' on the left side in Odin).
You just use the bootloader-field if you only flash the bootloader but nothing else, so just leave it blank for flashing Gingerbread.
And don't forget to press the 'Thanks'-button.

After reading through forums that talks about bootloader, I finally understand the basics.. Just last few questions before I flash gingerbread.
I downloaded the custom rom in samfirmware which is the JVP and it has this files,
1. CODE_I9000XXJPV_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 283.5 mb
2. GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5 86.9 mb
3. MODEM_I9000XXJVP_REV_00CL1019177.tar.md5 12.2 mb
4. 512 pit file
My 1st question, does this rom contain bootloader in the PDA? (Does samfirmare.com roms always have bootloader in their roms?)
Obviously, im new in xda, 3 days young so I didn't know how bountiful the roms to download here and my data plan is limited so I will just use this rom JVP to minimize my data consumption..
My 2nd question is, I read in a vibrant forum that they had a bootloader from I9000 that they can use in their vibrant phones which allows backward (they say you can change to froyo, eclair, gingerbread) can I use that bootloader coz I have I feeling that I'm going back to darky 9.5 and I won't have to flash a froyo bootloader if ever. I'm just updating to get a taste of video call of skype..
My 3rd question is, the risk in flashing roms without bootloader in it especially if you are from froyo and upgrade to gingerbread is, rainbow screen and no download mode, right? (that's why I wanna make sure the JVP I downloaded from samfirmware has gingerbread bootloader in it so I won't have these problems). That's why most roms here in xda has no built in bootloader coz its always risky to flash roms with bootloader so maybe the one I downloaded in samfirmware has bootloader?
My last question is, I read some1 got a problem with his gingerbread bootloader coz he flashed another gingerbread bootloader.. Does it mean that every room has a specific bootloader? Like JVP bootloader is different from JVQ bootloader?
I hope you weren't annoyed with these noob questions.. Hehehe just wanna be safe always that's why I need your opinion. Anyway, I'm learning with every answer you gave me..
Thanks lunchbox.. I'll inform you if I successfully flash it this weekend..

This fw should contain the bootloader, yes. But I'm never quite sure. I think that firmwares with three parts contain it and with one part not. So you should wait until somebody confirms this.
But don't believe all the threads in the forum. Usually you will only read from bricked pbones and not from successfully ended flash procedures (nobidy will write "well, I just wanted you to inform that everything went fine". ).
Normally you need for a Ginger-based ROM Only Gingerbread as a base. So it doesn't care if you Have JVP, JVQ or JVH. Thung are different only on CM7 + MIUI, there you need Froyo-bootloader.
And if you follow the guudes step by step you won't brick your phone.
You are welcome.

Assuming the JVP stock rom i downloaded has bootloader in it, do i need to check/tick "phone bootlaoder update" in Odin before starting the flash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
I've successfully updated to JVP and I think the bootloader also and I'm using video call on skype now.. I think gingerbread is a nice rom though its to stock but maybe this can be modified I the future..
Thanks lunchbox for the assistance..

If you want to go to the stock, go to the thread by ramad mentionned above and flash UGKG3, it's the latest and greatest stock bell firmware, as well as being rooted and deodexed. I'm running it now, works great.

Ok ill take a look at that too. How long have you been running that on your phone? Will I be able to update my phone in the future via kies if I wanted to?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can update using kies, it's detected and read by the kies client. I've been running it for a few weeks, never a single problem. It has busybox 1.19 installed in the bin folder, but you can just install an older one to sbin or xbin if you really need to. I really recommend it, I had a lot of trouble trying to root the stock 2.2.3 on my own.

You need to be on Gingerbread first before you can flash your phone with an ICS ROM. The following web site gives an easy step by step tutorial plus download links to get ICS on your SGS.

Ray.
or get 2.3.x updated from kies , than root it and then do cyan9 , its best. worked like charm. just read the instructions and follow it.
Kies says am upto date with latest software can i get gingerbread without kies?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
You can update your device till 2.3.6.
Unfortunatelly I only have a german page with the explanation.
Actual firmware you find here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570488
I think in this thread the users could help you.
Yes, using the Odin. Look here:
w*w*w.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s-gets-android-4-0-based-aokp-rom/
For install ICS, you need first install a GB 2.3.6 rooted, look here :
w*w*w.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
end enjoy.
Atencion, take very carefull in this journey. Read all with very carefull.
Sorry for my poor english.
BEWARE: You are coming from Froyo - so you have to flash an android version that includes a socalled "bootloader" (some versions don't include that, as far as I know).
Reed carefully first before flashing.
Thanks guys I did it through Odin now on 4.0 whoooooo lol

Hi folks. I have decided to return back to ICS to get the official JB update when it hits in the UK. I was on various Custom JB roms but mainly CM10.1 and now want to try back out the standard JB. Anyways being the sensible chap that I thought I was I done a back up of ICS and that has reinstalled perfect. However not being such a clever chap I forgot I done that back up after updating to 4.0.4 (XXLRK) via Odin when I had my pc and now Kies wont let me update via it. Second problem I have is I no longer have a pc (in my house) because I bought an iMac.
So my question is. Is there a way to get a the standard ICS firmware that should be on an O2 Carphonewarehouse N7000 in the form of a ROM rather than the Odin files somewhere? I still have CWM recovery and Philz 3.99 installed and working.
Thanks in advance.
You can download the firmware you want from samfirmware.com and place it on phone memory. Then use mobile odin to flash the rom.
Do not wipe on stock ics kernels.

Ok I shall look to that idea. Just as another quick question if I do install the firmware via mobile Odin will it change the Kernel or will it keep me on Philz and thus still be safe?
While selecting the rom in mobile odin, it will fill up the partitions. At that time change the kernel manually to philz ics kernel tar.md5 file. That way you will be safe.
Just a thought but i wonder would kies pick up on the kernel and not allow update because of that?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No kies does not pick up kernel. Just PDA, phone and csc. But OTA won't work on other kernels and recoveries.
Had a look on Samfireware but no sign on 4.0.4 for United Kingdom. Am i just being blind?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
There is a cpw 4.0.4 in there which is xxlrk. I think that's what you already have.
Just looked one website via iMac and can see it. Not sure but here is a screen shot of my settings and i notice that the firmware seems to be the one listed.
Any other idea why kies not liking this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
This is what my kies says.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Could be because the baseband is incorrect. Open the rom file you downloaded and there will be a modem.bin file. Flash it using mobile odin. Use the modem tab.
Aha i knew it would be someething daft that i was missing. Thanks man.
Can you flash modem via cwm?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I don't know what modem it comes with that's why I asked you to extract from the rom file. If you know then check in this

Hello, I have been reading for a long time now on threads all over this forum and there is simply too much for me to take in. So I thought maybe I could ask for help and one of you clever people could help me.
I would like to update the firmware on my tesco samsung tab gt-p1000 wifi and 3g to anything 4.+ oh and suitable for the uk. I'd like to still be able to make calls, use gps text and wifi general stuff. If some one in the know could suggest all the downloads I would need and point me towards a guide that suits those I would be very greatfull. p.s I think the tablet has been messed about with before as it has no serial number but I don't know.
Please don't just post ''read this thread'' I'm asking for some one how knows this information and just say ''use the modem LINK, this rom LINK, this software LINK and follow this guide LINK or similar.
From my research there are other people looking for the same build. If there is already one out there. link me up please.
I maybe looking for a complete odin build !
currently firmware is 2.2, baseband version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 , FROYO.XWJJ3

Thanks for letting me know that.
So how will I do it?
You can follow my signature to overcome method.
Your have froyo, so you must root your ROM to enable you to check if you have protected bootloader.
And if you do, then to patch it.
Gingerbread doesn't have such issue.
But all that is in overcome PDF guide.
Once you have overcome kernel, it gave you cwm recovery.
With that you flash custom ROM.
