Stock firmware from Samsung now Decrypted (thanks to SamFirmware.com)
There have been changes in the build, I do not have a change log at this time.
Direct comparison of the files show changes to Factory OS, Cache and zImage. Modem build is still 9/22 with all others 9/28
The following is from the build.prop

Dont be stupid and flash things you dont understand.
This build is an incremental change and appears at least to be keyed for release. This MAY NOT be the final revision, but with as close as we are to the release this is more than likely the last one. (in my humble opinion)

The second image is an Odinable image, if you absolutely cant wait for the firmware to be tested, flash away. The first is for the developers of the ROMs to pick through and use as they update their ROMs to latest release standard. Flash at your own risk, as always
Guess Eugene was mistaken that UVJI6 would be froyo. *Sigh* oh well...

Great job getting a decrypted version! Is there any particuar reason like it's unstable which is why you didn't upload the ODIN flashable image ?
i packed everything as a .tar file but it doesn't work , start uploading but hangs at half...

After seeing the debockle that took place with the JI5 file, I figure its safer for the Devs to play with it and work it into their ROMs rather then people flashing it stock, cause really, who here keeps their phone on a stock rom anyway
Almost done uploading. Via 4shared and Multiupload.
I downloaded it, but I have no idea what to do now since I can't use it on Odin. I flashed JI5, and I haven't run into any problems.

Thanks, I was just about to do that, infact I also packaged it as .tar and was about to flash with ODIN. That's sad that we can't flash it yet...maybe .tar has some headers or checksum which loses it's integrity when we try to manually package it?

Good that it came on a weekend though we can hope dev's jump on this one
Downloaded the Odinable link from the first post. Still can't get it to show up in Odin. I know it's late, but I should be able to get this.
soooo.. I have Bionix 1.4 Stock Non Voodoo or Lagfix. Can I just odin the rar file? Isn't it suppose to be a Tar file?

Not questioning your logic, but I do not see a clever explantion for the last (only) official release which was JFD, or do they use letters for official releases (instead of numbers)?

I'm looking for a gingerbread install for a bell I9000-m basically just need to make sure that the swype keyboard is fairly decent or similar to the bell one and whichever replacement is found here.
Im guessing I'll need a link to a stock modem driver but I've never done this before with much success besides just kindof bumbeling through a bit.
Let me know anything that could help in my quest here.
I would like to find some links to a good set of files for this update. I've read at many places that for bell you must ask for specific files for this task as it must be more complicated for the bell setup for some reason.
Even a Nexus S firmware if port-able to this device would be fine.

Any firmware for the i9000 works on the i9000m. There are plenty of threads in the development section with gb roms. Just download the KC1 modem for either Odin or CWM and flash that - I won't get into details, there are a bazillion threads discussing how to do this properly on the i9000m

You need to stop reading whatever forums you're reading, and stick to this one. There are no specific files, and it is no more complicated than any other i9000.

Then use Cyanogenmod. Again, all of these are in the development subforum.
You mention Cyanogenmod but wouldnt that be froyo?
I didnt really mean just link me to the specific forum subgroup I was hoping for some more specific direction I realize my question wasn't that clear i suppose. Anyways I've basically just had trouble changing the firmware on this device before and I really dont want to end up bricking it with a bad firmware flash.
Basically a good starting point example link would be fantastic I will do some more research and if i manage to do this myself I will post my findings just to close the thread.
Flash JVH and then flash KC1 modem, done.
I also dont want to install a beta gingerbread release if at all avoidable and mostly a vanilla or highly reccomended third party custom would be fine too.
JVH is official release in parts of Europe. I'm with Bell, running JVH with KC1 modem since its release and absolutely no issues.

No, CM7 is 2.3.4 which is Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 6 (which was froyo afaik) never really came to be on the i9000.

There isn't really anything specific for the i9000m. Really, its just a matter of picking a rom and following the flashing instructions. If you're flashing a stock release (like JVH lets say), use Odin, flash the tarball with update bootloader checked and once thats done, flash an appropriate modem for Bell (for 850mhz), like KC1 that I find works very well.
If you're flashing a cooked rom, like those in the development subforum, then you'd flash something like JVH, flash an appropriate kernel with clockworkmod (I prefer speedmod, but there are others), then you'd install the cooked rom through cwm recovery.

As others have said, JVH is an official release for a lot of European carriers. It will work fine on the i9000m. I was running JVH + KC1 Modem for a while before switching to the latest Cyanogenmod nightly (which works absolutely fantastic now).
If you're looking for an official Bell Gingerbread release.... you'll just have to keep waiting. Bell is slower than the second coming. Just keep a full KC1 or JL2 (with bootloaders) around so you can flash back to stock if you need be.
Also, you said you had trouble flashing before. I'd suggest following that link in my post above, and if you get stuck, come back and we can step you through.
And finally, you really can't brick you phone as long as you are able to access download mode and 3 button recovery. Absolutely make sure you can access these two modes before flashing anything.
I have actually had issues getting into recovery mode sometimes but not usually, but have no problem entering download mode. I think at one point I wound up with upload mode... which doesent seem to be documented... But dont quote me on that one as it was a while ago (after searching high and low on my NAS I cant find the photo i took sorry). I have actually had to send this phone off to bell to get them to fix it twice now.
Once due to my inability to do this properly without making a forum post asking these question and another due to a bad Kies update sending my phone into a boot loop.
So you say Cyanogen nightly works well im thinking I might give that a shot as im sure there are good reasons why you would want to use cyanogen over another release. Im just hoping for no weird Telco specific crap on my phone unless its Bell specific if i must have even that.
Would I go into the ROM list thread for the cyanogenmod nightly? http://goo.gl/IBbEm
Which leads me to this? http://goo.gl/b5UwG
or is there a better way to obtain CM7? Also what would be a good location to try and find my modem driver (KC1)?
I'm sorry to spam questions here but one final one. Would there be a good boot loader that I should strive for, if any?

I am running the above now. I was on Darky 9.5, then upgraded yesterday to Ficeto JVB, Dark Core 2.2 and Darky's v10 RC6. Then flashed Dark Core 2.3.
I then flashed KC1 modem this morning.
Running great and loving the rom so far.. its a base rom, so not a lot of features in it but at least i can customize it to how i like it so far.
I've downloaded this file I9000UGKC1 ## 512.PIT 2.2 2011 March from samfirmwares I'm hoping it works out well for giving me the modem driver.
And
Gingerbread 2.3.3: XWJVH from http://goo.gl/AEYzr to get a gingerbread release with a boot loader.
I will now look for a copy of odin hopefully it doesn't matter which version I get but I've noticed there is allot of fuzz when it comes to odin versions or even where to obtain it even. I want to obtain it from a legitimate source but it seems as though there is no specific location as to where to get it.
At some point I would like to try Cyanogen as everyone holds it in rather high regard though I'm not really sure what the benefits would be.
Some roms on here come with odin. You can also get it from samfirmware. The development thread is where you will find all information for each release. There's a few sources for cwm flashable modems. Odin isn't bad at all, it can be a little finicky with win 7 64 bit for some people but I have had no problems with it at all. Good luck and hope you find a rom that suits you.

Do you see much of a difference with the KC1 modem? Im running the JVO modem and it works fine for me usually have 3-4 bar connection, 3G tends to run quite often and get a 1Mbps down and 2 Mbps up connection, only thing I notice is that it runs on the 1900 band mostly
Any benefits to switching to KC1? Battery savings?

seems to work fine with working modem from http://goo.gl/02b7S
BUT
there is no OpenVpn OR SIP and those are the two things that I really wanted out of gingerbread.
I personally found JL2 better than KC1. I get up to 5mb/s down and 3mb/s up.
About cyanogen, you gotta try it to see . I didn't believe the difference would be noticeable either...
If you want modems for cm7, click the JL2 modem link in my sig, there's a post full of them.
For modems for other roms, look over there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
And just like everyone else said, you can flash i9000 roms on i9000m without any problems - in fact even flashing a different modem isn't necessary, depending on your provider, it's just better.
those are features commonly found within the custom roms for jvh
Thanks for this thread. Provided the modem for me to get this working properly.
If I were you I would stick with a Daryky rom. his 10 finaly is a little slow and glitchy at times so I recommend 10 RC6. it's a stock jvh rom with his tweeks. Cyanogen is basically vanilla rom. it's so fast (the best i've flashed so far) but it's missing swype, like you stated you wanted that. I tried getting the beta swype but it didn't work. anyways i'm actually liking the gingerbread keyboard haha. so ya, if you need swype stick with darky rom, if your looking to try an amazing rom try cyanogen.
The swype beta installed without any problems for me on cm7...
The only thing is I speak french, so either I get the english keyboard, or I get the "France" french one... which is AZERTY... u_U

I used Darky's rom for a looong time before switching to something else. I really didn't like the theme (at the time), and I found roms that seemed to perform better. I also ran a deodexed JL2 that I cooked myself for a while.
You can get swipe APKs from just about any custom rom out there, just pull the apk out of the .zip and install it. Or, I just signed up for swipe beta and installed it - works great.
Anyway, I guess the bottom line is that there are so many options available, and so many fantastic cooked roms available in the development thread, that trying them and finding one you really like is the only way to go.
Hi, guys.
To save everyone's time, I'll try to keep this as simple and to the point as i possibly can (which for those of you who know me, is a bit hard... lol). I also want to thank each and everyone of you who takes the time to answer in advance.
So, apparently, Samsung rolled out GB for TPH sometime around last week or so. However, KIES refuses to update my phone, for whatever reason (I suspect it may have something to do with when I tried Darky's ROM, which messed up the product code, but it may be something else entirely). No matter what I do (including a factory reset to stock TPH 2.2.1, which is what I have now), the "upgrade firmware" option is not available.
I've just about had it on waiting, so I'm ready to take matters on my own hands.
I'd like to install either the stock TPH 2.3.3 firmware (I9000XWJVH/I9000OXXJV9/I9000XXJVO/I9000XWJVH) (I'm missing a download link, though), or finally move on to something a bit better, like 2.3.4 with the following characteristics:
- Near stock (some ROMs I've seen are way too customized, I actually don't mind most of the stock stuff, including apps people don't like using, like AllShare and similar);
- UV and UC-ready;
- English and Portuguese input (Swype included) and menu languages;
- Preferably, Portugal-compatible CSC, (standard PT-available modem seems good in terms of battery life, so no special requirement there);
- If available (wishful thinking), SIP and Skype integrated in the dialer (I believe SIP was a 2.3 feature, right?);
- Full Market access;
- Easy to upgrade, if possible.
Also, I'm perfectly OK with a 2-step approach (like loading 2.3.4 and then a custom kernel).
OK, I think that's about it. With so many ROMs available, I get lost on the different features, so I need help from people more experienced than me.
So, fire away, guys. What are your options on this one? And again, thank you in advance!
Miguel
Check out the following links:
1 SIP integrated for deodexed Gingerbread ROMs from Samsung (2.3.3 & 2.3.4)
2 [CWM and Odin][Latest ROM: XXJVQ, UGKG3, XWJVN] Deodexed stock firmware collection
3 Juwe's Smart Edition > v5.3 XXJVR Based On Official Android 2.3.4 <
4 Juicy Ginger 3.1
5 XXJVR HYBRID v 2.0
6 MilkyS MOD
Skype in my knowledge is not integrated in to the dialer in any of these.
OC/UC/UV all are kernel features and all the custom roms have good kernels. Best OC/UV kernels are Semaphore,Talon & Galaxian. U can use neldars SGS kernel flasher to change rhem any time for a mix'n'match.
The last 3 are custom roms with all the essential apps, full market access, SIP integration and most of the stock apps.
I think Hybrid will be a good choice for you as its heavily loaded.
Milky Mod has swype in many languages.
Check them out and hope you find your pick. Hope this narrows down ur choices.
P.S - My favorite is Juwe's Smart Edition! Ultra stable, Smooth & Fast
Thanks, DonVito!
That is A LOT of information to get through, all right! I'm checking the pages to see about supported languages, but right now MilkyS seems my best option, especially because it seems the only one where Portuguese is a Swype language, and it may be installed directly over Froyo.
I'll check it out, and also the apparent absence of a product code on my phone (which may be why KIES refuses to upgrade my firmware, and a proof messing with Darky's ROM might not have been such a good idea...). I'll probably try re-setting my product code to TPH and check KIES, but I'l probably go ahead and jump directly to 2.3.4 , these custom ROMs seem to be very good.
One last thing, though: given my current firmware (I9000XWJVH/I9000OXXJV9/I9000XXJVO/I9000XWJVH, I forgot to specify this one is not the current stock TPH GB firmware), which firmware should I get from Samfirmware? There are WAY too many options, and I simply cannot get the hang of translating standard Samsung firmware codes to the SGS firmware packages...
Again, thanks for the input!

Hello,
I'm looking for some info on the things I should check before flashing a kernel on my Note...
what's important ?
what versions are compatible ?
how do you find out ?
it's a french phone with the following characteristics :
Baseband : BUKJ1
Kernel : KJA
Firmware : Gingerbread 2.3.5 stock
I'd appreciate a "universal" answer or link to some info on this, so I can see for myself next time I have a choice to make on this, or at least a tip on which CF kernel I'm supposed to flash to avoid bricking it
thanks !
sorry wrong forum - delete
Even I have the question!
Not Wrong Section!
What if I install another Kernel on my Note?
My current Stock kernel is KK3 what if I installed another one like the one of the following?
KJ1, KJ4, KJ6/KJ7, KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4, KKA, KK9
Would it brick? OR Just do crazy stuffs like Network incompatibilities, H/W Module errors?
Would it Still Work?
And are kernels just Different coz they are from devices of different locations?
Need Help on this !
I stumbled upon some short info in a reply, and tried it a few times myself.
so, baseline is that your kernel MUST match your ROM version, or closest possible, as long as you do not yet have a custom recovery installed
(because if you mess things up then it's -best case- download mode and odin flash).
I was on KJA, flashed a KJ1 kernel and had a few problems at boot but nothing that prevented me from using the system.
(nb : numbering system is 1-9 then A-Z, so KJ1 is 9 versions away from KJA, but a lot more away from KK1)
when you have a rooted, recovery'ed kernel, you can flash an entire ROM at once, which usually have matching kernel and system versions.
in this case, you have no problem since both are made for each other.
I may be wrong but it seems to work that way.
in your case I'd flash any kernel in the KK# series (preferably KK3 since it's the closest one to your original kernel), but only if you plan on flashing a rom afterwards.
it's useless if you don't, anyway.
Thanks For the Answer.. Just to confirm,
I'm one of the HTC Dream user's & used to create ROM's & MOD's
Had ported 3.0 to Dream.. with zrFreak and other's So I'm interested into this:
Can you Explain The PIT, CSC ... all those stuffs ?
Just wanna know what Refers to what partition..
nope, I don't know much about Odin flashing, been following tutorials when I needed to mostly...
keep in mind I'm only a user, not a dev =)
(although one that has done quite a bit on his phones so far and is not afraid to try or code a bit)
Ah lol okies...
Coz I'm planning to start customizing SGN making new ROM's...
Maybe this post might help. It has some very specific statements about kernel & rom versions at the end of the original post.

or maybe we should get someone who read korean to check out the korean site and see when is the update actually out.....
i believe it says ics is coming ... but when
It appears the source for the SHV-E140S is now posted on opensource.samsung.com.
This is new in the last few days, I checked earlier in the week and it wasn't there... Yay!
there are 3 seperate versions... I'm downloading all of them ATM and see what is in there...
link: just scroll down until u see the device name. : http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=list&menu_item=mobile&classification1=mobile_phone
also there are 4 different files but only one is ICS update
I opened the ICS update and there are a few interesting things... but I don't know if the internals are identical to 8.9 so we could just copy the drivers over...
nvm, saw OP's signature. This one is based on Qualcomm, different from P7300/P7310.
The platform stuff from the opensource site is probably mostly useless, as it's going to be an asian version of android that likely doesn't have english support. Correct me if I'm wrong.. It's probably best to use the kernel to bring up CM9 on this device.
The kernel does have config selections for the I957, and it successfully builds with this option, unlike the I717 and I727 releases -- They both had the 957 option in the kernel config, but didn't include most the actual code bits to allow it to build for that device, and the bits it did include didn't compile, all sorts of compile errors as if it hadn't been QA'ed at all...
Also.. I found the binary package, for the SHV-E140S, hosted on xbigfile.naver.com at some torrent page: w3ww.matpclub.com/b/torrent/119077

Let me know if you need me to mirror this...
The SHV-140 and SGH-I957 are very similar.. If you look at the ifdefs in the kernel source code (CONFIG_KOR_MODEL_SHV_E140S vs CONFIG_USA_MODEL_SGH_I957) the only difference I could find is in the DSP module -- Includes wrapped in ifdef tags select arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp6v2/timpani_profile_p5lte_att.h vs arch/arm/mach-msm/qdsp6v2/timpani_profile_p5lte_skt.h. These are the DSP codecs. These files contain several hundred KB of what appears to be binary code in hex for the DSP engine, and are extensively different. From what's there, it looks like most of it relates to handling audio streams at various bitrates, including mic, line in, headphone sources. It appears the DSP engines in these devices are pretty different?
So, the binary kernel for the SHV-140 isn't going to work well with the I957, even if only because of the DSP changes. This isn't too surprising.
I think the next step is to investigate getting the kernel into the CM9 build tree. Anyone a ninja with that sort of thing?

Funny enough... I ran the above through Google Translate and it came out just the same! :silly:
Whatever you and/or the other brilliant devs can come up with as a path forward will I'm sure be farther along than it is now. Just let us tinkerers know what we can do to help. :highfive:

Looks like someone is starting a device tree for the P5 ATT version!
Jellybean branch too, looks like CM10. That'd sure be pretty awesome.
Already posted. Nevermind.

Someone flashed it and cant get past the samsung logo.
Hopefully, the Dev. will look at it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
lookin for ICS firmware
I cant update via Kies also FOTA,when it enter download mode,the tab is disconnect with PC!
Shv e140s JB download links in regular dev section. Need to grab links before mod edit/ closes.
Edit: ics not jb. Got excited for sec
see a ICS rom for E140S at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943435
e140K
Yes I own a e140 but it's e140k. Still looking for the Stock ROM for ICS.
Got it
I have the stock firmware for SHV-E140K when it upgraded the firmware. It is HOME_SHV-E140K.UK22.1901_CL1174059_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5.
Can anyone do something with it? I will upload it to any site people prefer.
