search for one click root, this was the old one click method for rooting froyo if my memory serves me right.....just make sure as always you read what it says....and i have a feeling someone updated it recently to work on gb so there may be 2 versions out there, or upgrade to gingerbread with odin and use a cf root....you can find a firmware for your country at samfirmware.com

Hi all,
I am wondering if someone can guide me to the correct direction.
This is my phone (samsung Galaxy I9000)
Model GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.1-Update 1
Base Version: I9000 DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected]#2
Build Number: ECLAIR. DTJG4
It is unlocked - orginally from Optus.
this phone feels very slow and not very responsive at the moment.
I am thinking of upgrading the firmware hoping that it will improve the persformance
Can someone please tell me which firmware will be best for me? I'm not going to root the phone and I am just after most effecient firmware (good wifi, GPS and signal)
I am not sure which one is most stable for my phone.
Thank you
you could flash a stock gingerbread rom.the ones with bootloaders.jvh is pretty stable.2.3.4 ones will have phone fc bug..you'll hv to root ur phone to get rid of that bug..stock roms u can dwnld from ramads thread..for gps/wifi/signal u will have to flash the appropriate modem.there was a thread comparing modems somewhere here on the forum.try searching it.if u really want near zero lags it would be best to do ext4 lagfix..but again rooting will be reqd.gb roms are fast without these but lagfix still brings noticeable change.
Thank you for the reply.
It seems that I am gonna need to do root on it.
If that is the case, It will be much appreciated if I can be pointed to the correct link (tutorial - step by step) to get this process.
After reading some of the psosts I get really confused with all the type of firmware and kernel etc...
any suggestions and links I can follow will be much a great help much appreciated
Thank you again
The below links helped me out.

Read the tutorials carefully, then read them again and again until you are sure and confident. do not use if you dont feel confident.
Make sure you have the 3 button combo (recovery and download).
You should be able to update to gingerbread via Kies JVN 2.3.3 -optus

Hello, you can try JPY on 2.2.1, it's a stable firmware without the bugs of the gingerbread, if you doesn't want to root your phone.
Thanks for all the replies guys,
I just upgraded to GingerBread 2.3.3 XWjVN.
My next question is:
If I want to get rid of all those Optus rubish - Can you please tell me which firmware do I need to install?
There are so many types and I really get confused which one is going to work for me.
I have seen my friend's SI9000 very fast and snapy - is the firmware upgrade the way to do it?
Thanks again guys
Flash any custom roms from here CUSTOM ROMS
Hi.
We have two galaxy tabs and was upgrading to ginger bread. One of them was succsesful, but the other one dosen't start anymore.
Donno what's wrong with it?
How can I get it working again?
Thankful for any help. (Excouse my bad english.)
Regards Christian.
You can put it into download mode and flash it with odin. Google download mode galaxy tab. Then download the stock gingerbread firmware from samfirmware.com or xda download site. On youtube there are good tutorials how to flash galaxy tab firmwares. WARNING: you will VOID you WARRANTEE
Sent from my GT-I9100
Okey, thanks for a quick answer. Is there anyway of doing this and not void warrenty? Some recovery thing or something?
Well the download mode is the recovery and kies doesn't provide this as far as i know sry you could send it to samsung
Sent from my GT-I9100
But i am not sure if an official rom will void your warrantee. How did you update it?
Sent from my GT-I9100
flashing official firmware in no way would void any warranty.
You need to find the stock firmware (rom) for your Tab and then flash it via Kies or Heimdall depending on which tab you have, that should get you back up and running unless there's an actual hardware issue.
Thanks alot for your time.
There is no hardware error, this is software.
Can someone please explain in steps how to do this and where to get the firmware and roms or is there any good how-to to do this?
Official firmware is availiable on samfirmware.com registration is free. They also provide flashing tutorials. For any further problems ask me, i'll help

Thanks alot, i'll try.
I appreciate you keeping and eye on this post if i run into some heavy problem

Okey, I changed pit file with odin and after that it works again. I'm in keis with the device connected and in there it says this deviceversion can not be updated.
I would like to be able to update it to gingerbread in keis.
I have to devices and they are both galaxy tab 7" gt-p1000 and one of them is updates, why can't i update this one?
I get this.
PDA:JJ7 Phone:JK5 CSC:JK2 (TPH)
So you have one on gingerbread and the other one is on 2.2, right?
Did you buy them both in the same store/ county?
What is modem etc on the gingerbread one?
Sent from my GT-I9100
The one that I was able to update to gingerbread with keis is bought a few weeks before the other one. Not in the same store but in the same country (Sweden, I live here.)
I don't have the other one at home right now. so I don't know modem (by the way, what is modem?)
Thanks in advance.
Hmm modem dont really know should ask google but i'm too lazy. Maybe these two devices are a bit more different than we think... I really have no idea why kies wont let you update it, sorry. I have no galaxy tab (but maybe in some months?) but you could download the 2.3.3 from samfirmware and flash it. The only problem would be that this firmware (marked red) is unofficial. Means that you might void the warrantee.
By the way 2.3.3 is only official on italian galaxy tabs
I personally live in Austria and bought a Galaxy S2 about a week ago. I think that if it would need a repair i could easily flash it to official 2.3.3 (i am 2.3.4 unofficially) and i dont really think about warrantees.
I am not sure if you would not void the warrantee with an unofficial but not rooted os.
But if you want i can help you to get on 2.3.3. It is your choise.
Official 2.2 or
Unofficial 2.3.3

Hi all,
Tesco in the UK are selling the 7 inch Galaxy Tab for £149, down from £399, so had to buy one.
I'd like to root it but not sure if it is one of the rootable Tabs.
This is the information from About Device:
Model number: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWJP9
In the Mobile network type it says HSDPA
Is this Tab rootable, and if so, which method should I use, and which files do I need to download?
Many thanks
Gaz
Hi Gaz.
I managed to get one last night from tesco too.
Just rooted it using the method on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Very easy.
Now I'm on the hunt for a decent custom rom, but need to install recovery first :s lol

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like you rooted it before updating the ROM to Gingerbread in kies. You would have been running the original Froyo ROM, which I believe the method above works for. I don't think it works with Gingerbread.
I don't want to install a custom ROM, just want more control for backing up, removing bloatware, etc.
Thanks
Gaz
You're right (sorry I had missed you had Gingerbread right out of the box). I rooted the stock Froyo version, then updated to Gingerbread via the Samsung Kies updater.
Then I re-reooted using the following:
http://www.review-ninja.com/2011/08/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-gingerbread.html
Very simple and works for GB ;-)
Thanks for the link. Nice to know it works. If it works on yours it should work on mine; I just wasn't sure which of Chainfire's kernels to download as he lists several here on XDA and none seemed to match my Tab. I'll give it a go.
Cheers
Gaz
That worked a treat.
Thanks for your help. Always safer to check before doing this as it would be embarrassing if I'd bricked a 1 day old Tab!
Great value at £149. Thank you Tesco!
Glad you're sorted
Yeh kinda impossible to take it back for an exchange if you brick it, seems like the stock is well and truly gone now.

Send it back to three, this happend to me a few months ago and now ive just rooted my phone and thats about it... Im gonna wait till theres more stable developement.
@OP : You can Google for your stock rom. Shouldn't be hard. If you are planning to flash gapps , choose gapps for gingerbread.

I ended up using 5830i XXLA2 PDA XXLK1 MODEM and BTULK1 CSC Works fine with these!
I am hoping to secure an S2 from a friend when he upgrades next month so I am looking forward to AKOP or CM10 or some hybrid of them like P.A.C who knows but I have more experience in Android now and I can have some funky fun with the 5839i now xD Lost count how many times I have bricked it due to experiments while I learn!
Even managed to Format the EMMC to Ext4 and install a rom I cooken in dsixda kitchen and use latest kernel from our friend in Rio using the CWM version of the kernel. Next on my list is making a kernel.
I learn by breaking stuff and its fun normally fixing it.
No matter how messed up it can get I can always restore the stock fw from samfirmware or the custom frankenstien split pack I 'assembled' *cough*
Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III Mini which is unlocked but also unrooted. I wish to get rid of the branded firmware that has useless apps from the mobile service provider that I don't use (the reason I unlocked the phone). This is my first smartphone ever so I'm very new at this but I read some topics and I understood that I do not really need to root the phone if flashing a stock firmware, however I want to be sure if it's better to root it just in case.
I wish to know which one is the best firmware for me to use (preferably unbranded stock firmware).
My version is in the screenshot.
