sadly all the stock firmwares have some small but irritating issues associated with them: as the firmwares develop iteratively, Samsung appears to keep experimenting with options and fixes, so most stock firmwares remain two steps forward and one step back from the last version -- some have more problems that others.
JVR has been the most successful (stable and official release), but in stock form it still had (has) some issues, which are usually effectively addressed by a custom rom or kernel or a different modem (depending on what issue vexes your phone).
JVT has now got a stable custom rom and kernel option also.

Cheers for the reply.
You mentioned jvt custom stable version.which one is this one?

[Q] Darky's rom v 7.7 reception issue

hey guys , i have flashed several rom and i really like the look and feel of the darky's rom however i have really bad reception issue. sometimes at home where i usually have full bar i have no signals at all , or last night i was traveling to Oklahoma city with my friend who is running captivate on stock rom and he had full bar while i had no service at all ! any idea what i'm doing wrong ?
Usually better to ask in the darky thread , but anyways.
Did you flash back to stock and then upgrade to darkys or did you upgrade on top of a previous rom? If the latter, flash back to stock and reinstall.
If the former, try a different modem. I am not using the modem or kernel that came with darkys rom. I am using the kernel with speedmod and ugjl2 modem and so far I have great reception. Of course that isn't saying much as I always have great reception using my cell device (can't think of its name atm.)

You are running the I9000 version and not the captivate port. This alone wont cause problems if you have the reoriented kernel but the jpy modem you have will. I believe it does not have the 850 band. Flash a different modem from the modem thread in the development section and you should be good to go.
If im mistaken please forgive as its 7:30am and I still haven't slept yet.

thanks for your reply ! well yea i did one click odin to stock 2.1 and then flash this using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868262
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808286 flashing xcaliburinhand's latest reoriented kernel (odin version) with voodoo (I9000_reoriented_v2.3.0) so i'm not sure what is the issue here ... can you all guide me what modem should i use ? i was actually thinking about the same thing because i use to have a phone that didn't have 850 bad and i had this kind of issue ! so any help of how and where to get a modem to flash will be greatly appreciated !
I personally use JK4. A lot of people find that JL3 works better for them. Either way at the moment these are the top two modems available. Both can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9134296&postcount=2 and are flashable via CWM.
Also next time you are going to flash a version of Darky's just use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890429 or any one that ytt3r starts because he ports them over to the captivate and you don't have to worry about messing with kernels or anything not working properly.
thanks i'll try it next week , since i'm running Axura 2.2 and so far i like it

[Q] Which rom should i use?

What rom is best and most stable?
JVT stock rom with the semaphore kernel.
or wait for the F1 Innovation ROM Version 15 which is gonna be released tomorrow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058814
thanks for the reply ill wait for the f1 and see
ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
ICS 4.0.3 rc2.1 onecosmic
love these rom
ICS from onecosmic ist really cool, but think about the problems.
Some Apps dont run with this rom. For me, there ist no connection with MyPhoneExplorer. Also problems with unsing external SD, because it is rooted to mnt/emmc.
After flashing GOA 6.0 and some other custom roms, i am at the moment on doctorz rom 13.1 with no FCs or any other problems. It ist smooth, all apps are running..for me the best rom at the moment.
First thing you should decide if you want a 2.3.x ROM or a 4.0.x release. Then you can decide which ROM is right for you.
Check the screenshots and see what you like the most. I can advice MintBerry which is very fast and good looking, but since it's not based on a Samsung ROM you're gonna miss the Samsung Apps (as far as you can miss them).
Stable - any stock ROM or Stock Rom based; you can speed it up by using a different kernel (try semaphore) and/or tweaks (Thunderbolt's). I don's advise any ICS based ROM: they are still a little away from what I call ''stable''.
As for best... well, it depends on what you think. My advice is to try several ones. Each user has it's thoughts on what they think it's ''best''.
i want 2.3.x because i know ics isnt that stable and alot of things dont work still..
currently im on jvq 2.3.4 flashed with odin ( i don't have cwm because i dont know if it will void my guarantee :/ )
and a user above suggested jvt but i also saw jvz and im wondering which is better ( both 2.3.6 )
I have tried lots of roms, I found galaxydroid 3.3 gave best battery life, but 5.0 lost it. I am currently using mitrerom, and this seems very stable, nice tweaks, boots very fast and thus far have no issues. I am avoiding any 4.0 rom, as they are still all in beta stages and can still have issues. Best thing to do, is see what you like and flash, flash and flash. You cant do any wrong if you read the tutorials and take your time, oh and dont touch the bootloader!!
Buttwad. Why not to post a link to that "mitrerom"? I can't find it anywhere.

can someone post a download link for odin please ?
i cant find it anywhere
GingerReal2 R2.0.0 + Semaphore 2.4.0 i the best
ty all i used stock jvz and maybe ill change it in the future

Myhm... someone can.... first post here...
if i want to flash semaphore with odin i put it in the pda ?
it wont break stock jvz?
ANY kernel in Odin -passes as PDA.
JW1 with CWM-Kernel or SauRom ....
so stock jvz will work fine with semaphore 2.4?
bump :/ this is my last question

[Q] Two Firmwares at the same time

Is it possible to have two diferent Firmwares installed? I have ICS RC 4.2 installed on my device but I wanted to try S.U.R.F.A.C.E Firmware. I guess it's not possible but I guess it's ok to ask since I didnt find any answer here or on Google.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think it is possible. but i would wait for more experience people to tell you otherwise.
That is not possible,
There is a difference between firmware and a rom like surface or ICS RC4.2.
Firmware is stock rom that is usually brought by samsung of so. a rom like surface is a rom that has a base of a stock rom and is modified and rebuild by a developer.
ICS is stock software for other phones that will not be brought to the SGS, so developers like CM and Onecosmic have been working hard to bring it on our SGS.
But when you're one RC4.2 and wanna go to Surface you switch from the one rom to the other.
Not possible.
It's Possible to change from ICS-rom to ICS-rom and from stock to stock via cwm-backup, but the base must be the same, like gingerbread to gingerbread, not gingerbread to froyo ...

Thank you guys!

[Q] Anybody from Newcastle (UK)?

hello guys,
I am looking for someone who is able to flash my friends Samsung galaxy s i9000. It has still the Froyo software on it. I successfully flashed my to ics but I am not able to do this with the other device. It has a strange basebuild no. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anyone help me? I would be really thankful.
Cheers
Is no one able to help me?
The baseband is the modem. Should make no difference to which rom you flash. Is it on eclair, froyo or gingerbread?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sorry, just noticed you've said froyo. You just need to flash stock gb rom, then the semaphore kernel to match for cwm and root, then you're good to go for any custom rom you wish.

This smartphone has JM1 installed. Sorry but I am an absolutly newbie. I only was able to flash my one with a step by step guidance.
I haven't found anything about JM1 How to flash etc.
I am a little bit desperate now ....
Search for a stock gb rom (jvu/jw1 are recent) with gb bootloaders and follow the flashing instructions using odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Sorry, where do I find something like this? After flashing with Odin I will be able to put ICS from teamhacksung on it?
See perka's jvu thread in dev section, there is an odin flashable download.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Once flashed, boot up, turn off, then flash cf-root kernel for jvu - use the search function to find thread or go to read first couple of pages of perka's thread for a link.
Once you're rooted, you'll be good to go.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Is it this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ?? You mean JVU is compatible with JM1?
Thank you for your help!
If you're friend needs a rom i'd start by either flashing Darky's ROM 10.2 RE with full instructions including a vid tutorial on that thread
or
Flash Jetpack v8.2 with instructions and a vid tutorial in that thread.
The reason why i recommend those two ROMS, is they're particularly easy to flash and have good support.
I'd start with Darky's ROM and then move to other ROMS from there if you want, because it's a fast, very stable rom with a brilliant community for support. Plus you dont need much expertise to flash it, and it comes packaged with root and clockwork mod recovery installed, so you dont need to do anything to prepare your phone for flashing. This ROM does it all. If you wanna move off from there, well then you're all set. But if you're friend just wants a fast stable ROM, then he's all set with Darky. If he wants a bit extra speed, then move to Jetpack V8.2 it's stable and no bugs and its very fast and features thunderbolt! tweaks preinstalled, which are custom tweaks written by a guy called pikachu01 and they improve the SGS very well. They dont require too much expertise to install, but this saves you hassle and gives you all those added benefits from thunderbolt!.
If you're really keen on this teamhacksung ICS build then go to the darky rom and then from there install teamhacksungs build. Just make sure you read carefully to know what you're doing.

Flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then flash a custom kernel like semaphore. After that you can install ics.

[Q] Help With Which Rom To Flash

Hi to all

[email protected])
Build number: GTI9000.XXJVU.[ELITEMOVIL]
I'm just wondering how would i go about getting any 4.0.4 roms on my phone and what firmwire do i need to flash first if any.???????????????????.
Cheers Madant2011
flash slim ics v3.5..all the procedures are written there
Hi again could you please give me the link to slim ics 3.5 as i could not find it soz.
Cheers Madant2011
Hey
I think you defenatly need to try it, even if it won't be the best.
i recommend you to use Infinitium 2.2 which im using and it is awsome.
Infinitum. Great ! But not for too long mind u ! All ICS **** camera. All ICS , in fact most of them are great first few days then..... they start their minor to major issues. I don't like GB but have no choice and go back to XXJW4 . It's also great but for a while . After few days it starts slowing down, freezing up and so on. All irritating stuff which had made me leave GB in the first place. Then once again ICS , ....**** camera and issues.... phew ! Can't get the right rom ! Miui is the best but again bad battery life and no TV out. Well...

Try dmore 33 or saurom.they are still ginger.but u won't be disappointed.
If u are keen on ics flash "clean aokp" rom b34 or the milestone version is simple to flash and among the best I think.
Good luck flashing.m8
Try Weui Rom stable and good Battery life

If u got problems with ics(or Ginger)lagging,go to market and download "easy cache cleaner" (by bazinga).the adds are annoying,but is clearly the best cleaner.
