[Q] SGS Firmware Update - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i was going to update my SGS to firmware 2.3.6 xxjw4 from 2.3.5 xxjvt (via kies) and was wondering if the semaphore jvt_1.9.1 kernel would be ok or is there a better or specific one?? Thx

I flashed 2.3.6 with the latest semaphore kernel(2.5) and it went well.you should be okay

Well yeah it would work, but I don't see why you'd stick to gingerbread or any stock rom while you can try custom ICS Rom ... my SGS is rocking one of those now and it's totally great

Thx
Updated it and works well...but now in the process of installing ICS so thx for the help

[Q] Clean Install

Hi everybody, i've a question about installation of kernell and roms.
I must flash my phone with Ufficial Samsung Firmware before install new kernel and new rom?
And i have another question (i just used search but i didn't find anything) about differences on XWJW1 JVZ and go on.. which are differences?
Thank u
u dont have to instal an official firmware before instaling a custom kernel or rom. its obvious that if u didnt flashed the phone yet, it has an official rom on it jvs jvz jvt - depends on the location where you bought the phone (i think) i am kinda a new too
Ok thank u, then about jvz jvs jvt i should know the corrispective locations..
I think jvt is the most stable, works really well with latest semaphore kernel, waiting for next stable release, then hopefully ics will be worth a try

Problems finding what I need....

Hey there my partner has bought herself a gt-i9000 still running eclair. Being a flashaholic myself I though I'd root and flash a more updated and smoother ROM for her, but alas searching around I cannot for the life of me find the right CF root kernel.
If anyone could point me in the right direction for the CF root and also a stable ROM ICS or JB preffered would be great. Phone details below.
Gt-i9000
2.1 update-1 (eclair)
Baseband xxxJG3
Thanks in advance

Seems like there is no CF-Root for Eclaire. I would suggest to update to the latest version through Kies or take a ROM from here and flash with Odin. As you will flash ICS/JB anyway, it doesn't matter which one you choose.
Thanks so my options are update via kies then cf-root and flash ICS/jb or flash newer firmware ROM then cf-root flash ICS/jb?
Sorry I've never used kies to update and I've always been able to flash a cf-root kernel with updating...

Hey
U can upgrade using odin...directly to 2.3.6 and root it..

Exactly. With Kies you will get at least 2.3.3, maybe even 2.3.6. Note that the kernel hasn't changed since JW4 (2.3.6), so if you flash JW5 or later, you can use CF-Root for JW4.

Galaxy s I9000 Gingerbread 2.3.3 XXJVK and semaphore 2.7.4 problem

I have my Samsung Galaxy I9000 running Gingerbread 2.3.3 baseband XXJVK rooted with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVKv1.3. What version of Semaphore should I download to get Voodoo Sound working? Because I have tried flashing Semaphore 2.7.4 but I get stuck in boot loop.
Please advise

Why don't you upgrade to 2.3.6 with Semaphore 2.7.4. It's really a very nice tried experience...
