General - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys sorry for a noob question
My friend recently bought a galaxy s i9000 and it i on eclair . He wants to install MIUI ROM on this phone .
For that we need to be on 2.3.x firmware. . Can someone post the link of upgrading from eclair to gingerbread. Pls ?
Thanks in advance guys

You should try search
But here is good info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Follow the instructions. Then go to MIUI thread and follow instructions there.
Or you can register to sammobile.com and download stock ROMs there. There are also flashing guides.
If you don't understand something you can PM me anytime.
Happy new year
P.S. You could also use KIES for upgrade but KIES is just s**t

miui thread would be best bet for instruction
cheers

[Q] whats the best way to flash to froyo

hello can someone give me some advice what is the best way to flash to froyo
do you need to have a firmware already installed like jm8 for instance or can you
just wipe my phone and install from fresh .
thank you
Just flash JPY from samfirmware.com as a PDA without a PIT file selected.
can i do it even if my galaxy doesnt have a firmware already installed i was wanting
to do it from a fresh wipe then just install the jpy
thank you
i would suggest to flash Darky's Rom. it's easy and you don't need to use odin or heimdall. plus its a really fast Rom!

i was looking into doing that but an i flash without having a firmware already installed
or do i need one already on the phone i have read on a lot of post people saying
you need something like jm8 firmware first then you can flash over it dont know
whats the best way realy
thank you
Kies 2 is the easiest way........... If you want to flash to a custom 2.2 I suggest reading through these forums for a few good hours.
How does your phone work if you have no firmware .???
Suggest A Froyo update is normally via Kies . Why do you need to flash ??
Suggest B If you are flashing custom roms please please read all the posts regarding flashing and save breaking your phone .
Suggest C questions go in the Q& A section not development .

<----- says the best way to flash FroYo if you are a woman is to wear a t-shirt with FroYo stencilled.
Seriously, if you want an official 2.2, try one thats correct for your country & region. General section has a sticky.
If you are adventerous & want to experiment, try one of the MODDED ROMs available. There is a sticky here in dev.
If you want a 2.2.1 without ant modifications, try to search for it here in dev with a title [MOD][CSC] or something or try my desi link in my signature. I will search & add links later.
PS : how old are you?

Well the simple answer is look at page one of Darkys posts where oddly enough the instructions are written as how to flash his rom .
Bit of advice dont flash until you really understand what you are doing unless you want to join the IBSGS club short for i bricked my galaxys an now it does not work .

Shouldn't that be IBMSGS club?
This is becoming way too common. Flashing before reading.
I dont want to brick my phone, if that happens i will cry like a b*** xp I will do step by step
You should look out for Darky's ROM, best ROM out there! It makes your SGS so damn fast
They even have a great step by step tutorial on how to root/flash your SGS. Don't have the link by hand, you should look out for it ^^
One advice: Never ever flash the official 2.2 Update from Samsung. My phone was nearly turned complete useless because I had since then terrrible performance problems...

Dude, this isnt a help or questions section, this is a development forum.
Go read the sticky threads there is plenty of info there and pretty easy to follow. I read them and had a custom rom flashed to my Tab same day I bought it.
I thank you and sorry I found several guides the only thing that I did not understand is the order to follow what flashing before or after

Before or after what?
Basically all you do is..
a) Root your device (download and use z4root from market)
b) Go to a rom thread and read instructions (Go to the rom link in my signature)
Root your device, download the rom and then follow the following guide..

[Q] 2.3.3 ROM

Hi,
I install Samsung Leak ROM 2.3.3.
And I would like to install new custom ROM.
Can you recommend me what ROM I should install and what are the steps ?
I have Galaxy S I 9000
Best advice for you is to look around the Development section at what ROMs are available. All are very well made and the threads for them are usually very informative and give easy to follow instructions to allow you to flash the custom ROM.
You should be careful posting questions like this, some people may flame you a bit as they'll tell you that you should just look into the threads and learn

They post that stuff because someone who doesn't know how to get back to 2.2.1 shouldn't have installed 2.3.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
should help you out abit mate, remember any 2.3.3 will not be completly stable,, im on darkys 9.3 Rom with 2.2.1 i think i wil wait till Gingerbread is official and a good rom like Darkys V10 is final before i make the jump.
Official gingerbread as of now .So it will be in the rom kitchens soon and adapted by the end of the week .
Best rom choice build your own in the rom kitchen .

Or read the threads on roms in Development and read the help posts on the forum to see which roms continually break phones .

Edit: you can edit the post and remove the question for Best ROM and Best kernel as you will not get answer for it as these are not permitted on XDA.
