[Q]Phone Updating - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sorry and i know that there are many topic related about this but im just a noob on android flashing.
my phone is:
Samsung Galaxy S [I think its international]
No update through WIFI
GT-I9000
Eclair 2.1
Baseband:I9000XXJM1
KERNEL:2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build:ECLAIR.XFJM1
NOT ROOTED
is it possible to flash by phone recovery mode with the firmware/data in the SD card?
if not are there other ways to flash by phone and not by ODIN or KIES
KIES = my phone does not show up in kies (endless connecting status) when i try to connect it via kies.but its ok on the other settings.
please direct me to possible update ways and instruction or files that i need..
i prefer the stock version than moded ones..
thank you.

use heimdall to do phone there's a detailed guide on how to on the galaxy s development section. but if you can't find it here is the link below

I am in the same hell
Just downloaded Heimdall and ready to give it a shot. Thank you.

Just reply to my last post that Heimdall package works wonders...
But how do I go back to my one click downloader?

Fyi, I guess an easy reinstall of the usb driver is good enough.

Updating through Kies is a piece of cake if there is an update available. I don't know what the stock ROM was in UK but I guess early phones shipped with XXJF3. For everything else, read the FAQ!
Hi, xxjf3 was the veraion i had, is therw anywhere i can download from as foe kies the reason i updated manually using odin was thwre was an update through kies but it would not allow me to update, if someonw could provide a guide to rom update alk the differwnt ways would help.

Check the FAQ sticky when you get to a PC. You can't do it on the go anyways:

The only official tool for updating is Kies. However if you want to load arbitrary firmware you can use Odin (which is a leaked Samsung tool) or Heimdall (a custom flashing tool developed by myself) once it's been tested that is, it's in a public alpha at the moment.

Need help on my GT-P1000

i downloaded the open asia XJPE from sammobile firmware page.. im from Philippines sir.
@edit:
when i tried wiping data/factory reset

formatting/dbdata
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
can someone give me enlightenment?
tnx in advance.
can you boot to download mode (vol down and power button)
I recommend just "restock" using Overcome method
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.

Not sure what state is this
hi, i dont know what to call this. i am totally new to all this...
the goal was to install ICS on the GT-P1000. so i googled and was following instructions...
- did root using doomlord v4
- next was to run 'overocom_7_series_v4.1.-_no wipe' from Recovery mode
- recovery was android e3 so one website recommended to change to CWM.
- using Odin3-v1.85 tried to run skin1980-P101-NEW-CF_root-GB
- it didnt work so just checked -re-partion option
- learned my lesson that i shouldnt do that...and the tab is gone in a comma
so now i am not sure where i am....just tried something called soft oneclick unbrick...it didnt work...
please help....
well, did you read the whole thread on how the OP saved the P1000 ?
First, can you still go to download mode...
if so, then read my reply to OP

I seriously need help
I first upgraded my samsung galaxy gt - p1000 from stock 2.3.3 to CM 10 4.1.1 jelly bean, then the mobile network did not work so I return it back to 2.3.3 then I brick it, after unbricking when I boot it to recovery mode it is reporting E: .... path unknown.. it looks that my gt-p1000 is done, i seriously need help to recover it.. pls help !!!!
Silly you.
Cm10 no mobile network, just our modem.bin in /system/vendor/
And you will be OK.
Now to recover just follow my reply to op.
Or follow this new links to overcome method , same as above but all in one place

Also, when you over clock your device, it gets heated up and battery drains faster

This isn't working for me and I'm not sure why. Also, the captivate isn't showing that USB Debugging is connected, even though it's on and ADB via SuperOneClick and detect the phone. Drivers from samsung's webpage are installed as well.

It depends which firmware your Cappy is on.
Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266 if you want to root and flash custom ROMs.
