Another XWJS5 (new) in Samfirmware

Does anybody know the difference between the two XWJS5 firmwares?

Difference...
Yes. The previous one is for Heimdall and the new one is for Odin.
As I saw.

I have heard that the new one contains a bootloader update.
I don't know if its true tho.

Previous JS5 was an update flash (1 file), this one is a FULL Rom (3 file, 242mb). The same difference between JS3 and XEN JS3.
Anyway it shouldn't be 803 .pit. To recover from experimental partitioning I use JS3-full (which is tagged as 803) with 512.pit since 803 doesn't work for me.

Thanks for that ! I'm trying to install these JS5 since yesterday with .pit 803 without success : mount problem at reboot after odin success, formating in recovery doesn't work and updating couldn't been done by new rom (vibrate loop reboot).
Changing to 512 .pit seems to solve this problem : my phone just restarts on JS5 now !

OT- that's interesting as I flashed js3 with 803 unsuccessfully but it works with 512.

Content of I9000 XEN I9000XWJS5.rar:
Code:
GT-I9000-CSC-XENJS3.tar.md5
I9000XWJS5-REV03-ALL-low-CL869633.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5
Confirmed there are a bootloader and a Sbl file, even though those are likely the same of those included in the previous XEN JS3. I'll make a checksum to verify
UPDATE: there is no update in this new XEN JS5, md5sum for boot.bin is identical to the one bundled within XEN JS3

guys please let me understand.... so why you are speaking about .512 and .803 .pit?
Using odin with last rom js5 from samsungfirmware I have to select just one file in pda tab, whitout .pit file.
what's wrong in my flashing way?

Be careful on updating. Double check the bootloader and Sbl.bin. We don't want the sgs to be locked, like the galaxy tab.

.pit file is used to flash the full rom (phone + modem + csc) with re-partition flagged, basically the pit file tells odin where to write the filesystems.
Whenever you have just one file (phone), you don't need either pit or re-partition flag. This last XEN JS5 is a FULL rom.

Just for clarify it, Samsung's 'locked' bootloader on Galaxy Tab is not the problem about download mode... The signed bootloader also allow flashing the device later... The problem is just about the files what you can use... With Samsung's signed bootloader you can flash in the future just also signed kernels, you basically you willl not able to flash custom ROM-s in the future... You can flash firmwares with Odin, you can flash Samsung beta firmwares also, just simply could not flash custom ROM-s... This could be big problem or verly small also based on your usage habit. While I use 2.2.1 I simply not use custom ROM-s, but of course before I used... Nowadays 'signed' situations could not break my life with i9000, but with Galaxy Tab it could ... at least in the near future, as it's ROM not as good as the current i9000 versions...

Thanks for explaining this ! But I couldn't understand why you couldn't donwgrade to a non-locked bootloader with Odin ? Don't have access to it ? But without access to it it couldn't be modified with latest Samsung FW via Odin ?

Hi
Still not patched to fixed.

for me it is interesting too why it is so messy about downgrade, could someone just wipe bootloader and force flash older back?

when i flash this i cant get the swedish keyboard in my phone
any ideas on this ist this the european ver i reverted back to I9000XWJM5 i kies tells me there is no update

Sorry one is not hiedemell both are odin one is full 3 file package which requires 803 pit file and other is single pda file flashable without pit or repartition from any previous stock rom

I found this http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/cm7-darky-9-5.1840/
U need to flash rom with odin i just dont know if "re-partition" need to be ticked and pit 512 chosen? can somone tell? also phone efs clear need to be ticked?

if I'd wanna do it, directly, i flash my phone from the top... in fact, i've had to do it some times...

Yes you can, I already did too.
Flash the phone directly with Odin:
http://www.faq4mobiles.de/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=9026
and choose one of this firmware:
http://www.samfirmware.com/fwandroid.htm
You need be register there to download and after you find all official firmware and how you flash too.

Ok.. Thanks guys... Will try it on weekday and post the result ...

U put pit in odin ? also check re-partition?

[Q] am i completely screwed?semi bricked sgs??

hi.thouh i am quite experienced user here.i have read everything possible.
now how i got this.here is the story.
i had sgs i 9000 version
android 2.3.3
jvk version
then i just rooted it using odin.fine.
use speedmod kernel for gingerbrid works firne.
then when i tried to go to that rooted stock kernel made by chainfire it rebbot then
here is story..
samsung boot scree looping again again.
i can enter in recovery mode and download mode,
tried nandroid restore but same happen.
plz help what to do to make it alive.
i know its not bricked bit i didnt worked either?//

Get into download mode and re-flash a stock 2.3.3 or a 2.3.4 rom with Odin and it should help fix the boot looping.

any stock firmware .i just downloaded this from forst link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
will it work?

NO ONE??/my * is burning.i got very sow internet,

Yes any of those in that thread, Froyo or Gingerbread should get you sorted out.

i mean first one 2.3.4 jvq veersion in the given link bddy.is it okay?

should i tick re partion in odin or not with this 2.3.4 jvq version?

JVQ is fine.
If it's a 3 part firmware (separate phone,pda, csc), then 515 pit is required with repartition ticked.

hey thefirmware i download is just .exe file.one file what to do

Uploaded it for you.
Just unzip it then add it to Odin.
Double click it as it has to extract, which then will give you 3 files.

[Q] [GT-I9000] want to unbrick

Hi,
I have an SGS I9000[bought in INDIA] which i guess the international version.
After an upgrade to ICS my SGS[I9000] does not turn on. After that i tried many official firmwares[XXJPU,XXJPY,XXJVA] via odin but with none my SGS turned on.
With only firmware version DDJF2,DDJG4 its booting up but "Touch" is not working.
Can please somebody guide me to turn my SGS alive!!!
Thanks...

Not sure but did you try odin with pit512 repartition checked.? Also try flash twice first with pit512, repartition checked and 3 file stock rom, second time repartition unchecked and 3 file stock rom.
Alternatively search for darky resurrection 10.2 rom on Google and follow instructions in blou post. Has a single download with all you need

I already did the flashing with/without re-partition checked.
I would like to ask two things
1>is it safe to flash with Darky`s Rom as their is no CSC files?
2>Is PDA/CSC/Modem are all together in Darky`s zip File?
Thanks...

Here's a link to my simple recovery kit, contains ezbase gb ROM, ezodin, and cf root kernel, and brief instructions.txt, unzip and give it a go of you want

[Q] I have bricked my I9000?

Hi,
I have a I9000BVJP4 (FROYO.BVJS4) phone bought in 2011 from Orange in the UK. I was trying to root the bastard to get Jelly Bean on it. I coulddnàt get 4zroot to root it, neither Once Click root method (earlier would not reboot the phone and Titanium said it wasn't rooted anyway and the second just said "failed" when it got to the end of the process).
So I decided to use the CF root method. I downloaded the various cf kernels here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 as I thought I needed to match the JS bit. So I tried JS3 which looped on intial screen the first time. JS5 and JS7 just hang on the first screen. Clearly I can get ODIN 3.07 to upload these kernels so I can get the phone to switch to download mode. THe problem is that it hangs and never boot.
I'm a bit of newbie with this stuff but I understand that as long as i can get into download mode I haven't bricked the beast. THe problem is that I donàt know how to out of this situation. I bet it's just a question of finding the right kernel and uploading with ODIN. Any suggestions? I presume the phone is still unrooted (or maybe not now that I have all these kernels uploaded through ODIN?)
Your help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks
Antonio

Mate,
cheers for this although the XXJVU ROM you suggested didn't work. I decided to give the XXJVT version a go which I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and I tell you this rocks. I've finally got rotation working again and have got rid of all the crap that Orange installed.
Do you know if Jelly Bean works on the I9000 and how it performs? Is it worth installing on such an "old" device? BTW, I used the same pit file you attached. That did work. Thanks again.

No problem ever . yep, Jellybean works , infact it rocks ! . the stock gingerbread firmware is crap if compared with jellybean . I use cm 10.1 Android 4.2.2 makes my phone butter smooth doesn't matter its quite old though but works like a charm. did you root your phone ? using semaphore kernel ? you have to root it first to install jellybean for XXJVT , here's the link for the kernel :-
http://78.46.194.137/kernels/Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.9.1.tar
flash it the way i told you , you have to select it in the PDA file option in Odin. hope it works for you now .
