Hi,
I am glad I found this site, excellent source of information.
I have a question regarding updating firmware on the Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
My phone currently has firmware I9000XXJF3, looking over at samsung-firmware it seems that the latest version available is I9000XWJM2
My question is, will my phone be compatible with this firmware version? should I not go beyond the I9000XX releases? Languages don't mean much to me personally because I only use English (hopefully XW has it!)
If I do install I9000XWJM2 will the other 'tutorials' work for me as well? (the lag fix, etc)
Your help is appricated!
those XX doesn't mean anything related to the specificity of the model (i9000). In other words, yes, you can flash the new firmware without problems. In general you should make sure it's for i9000, but not in the name of the firmware, cause it's rather confusing. You should look for a thread of this firm and check it's for your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733368
Yes, tutorials still works!
There are a lot of new Firmwares reported at:
http://twitter.com/SamsungFUSNews
Are these the new Froyo releases?
They all look like old firmware, I think samsung-firmware has a copycat.
Yes, no new firmwares there (just carrier variations of existing ones).
Thanks for your replies.
Hi there,
I would like to use Odin to flash my SGS 9000 to the latest version of Froyo 2.2.1 (stock Samsung), and the latest radio firmware.
In this thread the list of firmwares are listed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
I want to use Odin to do this.
Current status of my 'phone
2e Recovery with 3 button recovery and download mode is enabled.
PDA: I9000XWJM2
PHONE: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000OXXJM2
Pcode: GT-I9000HKATPH
What to use
Which one of the listed firmwares can I use to get the phone up to the latest version? I think these, but am unsure:
I9000XXJPU|2.2.1|2010 December
There is a URL to a file called "All CSC Download". I think the latest file is called: CSC_I9000OXFJP6.tar.md5
Will CSC_I9000OXFJP6.tar.md5 work on my 'phone, and will it offer any improvements over I9000OXXJM2?
Regards.
im using doc rom and it is blazing fast. Doc and others provide great support if your in trouble.

Lovely, but you should start a new thread about Doc ROM. This thread is about using the latest stock Samsung 2.2.1
If you require advertising space for doc rom then might I suggest Google Adsense?
Doc's ROM = Froyo 2.2.1 (without most of the bugs stock has)
Please read the android development section. It's not nice to just wait and be spoon fed all the info if the info is just a few clicks away..

Apologies about the doc rom message I wrote. I had misinterpreted it.
I wont flash non stock firmware. I only want to flash the latest Samsung including CSC.
The reason is simply lack of information about what everything does. All the threads tell me to do step A then step B, but seldom explain what & why. Thus I am unable trust what is said, & will therefore only use the official Samsung.
/EDIT:
I have searched for Doc Rom on the web, so far only found this site:
http://www.galaxyroot.com/howtorom-a-noobs-guide-to-installing-docrom-xxjpu-v1-1-with/
I was looking for a list of the following for Doc Rom:
Changelog, indicating reasons for the change from stock Samsung.
Diffs between files of the code changes made.
Release notes.
Does anyone know where I can find these?
Samsung XXJPU is a leaked firmware.Samsung didn't release the source code for it.

Oh. Perhaps Android is psuedo open source.
is this the same for the CSC I9000OXFJP6? ( Although I don't know if this would work with my 'phone so my question may be moot)
If you are that distrusting and need to know exactly what and why things are changed , you will never be able to flash any firmware again .. You willnot find a byte per byte explanation .. And because you do not trust rommod you can also not trust leaked roms !! Who knows , maybe somebody changed somtheing in the leaked firmware .. The only right thing for you to do is wait for a rom update via kies ! But ..... be warned Samsung also doesn't deliver a changelog !!
I think there was a topic about all modems comparing them but I can't find it anymore! Does anybody have the link?
Hi, I have checked out the stick for the list of all available stock roms that dr. ketan posted.
however, i have been unable to find any that is downloadable as all the links for the singapore roms are all offline (hotfile problem)
as such, i was hoping if anyone else could help me with this?
like post a mirror or upload something downloadable.
