I wasn't able to find working link also. There is workaround,but is pain in the b....Process would be to return to stock 2.36 xxjw4 via Odin,root your device again,make backup of efs folder(imei number is there,phone won't work without it),flash stable CM10.1 to change partition layout,then what ever you want.Most of the roms don't change modem,modem stays after flahing roms....I would rather wait for working link or search for them deeper,but that's me

Flashing ICS and above changes the modem to JVT, so even if you do flash JW4 stock that's changed as soon as you flash CM9/CM10.1
However WD40 very kindly uploaded a version of JW4 in the modems thread:

So, I'm new to Galaxy S. Need Help :)

Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy S i9000 mobile.
It's running on :
Android 2.3.3
Baseband : DXJV9
I have not rooted it or did anything till now.
I wanna flash ICS AOKP on my mobile..
I have tried using the search option but still im soo deserted.
Can you guys guide me on how to root,flash CWM recovery, and flash ICS please ?
and Does Galaxy S supports ROM Manager ? coz i've been using Galaxy Ace before and it didn't support it..
Thanks a lot
For Root read this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
You need to download file ending in JVP. Usually you want the one ending with last 3 digits of your baseband but as there is no JV9 JVP is close enough and is reported as working. Besides it does not really matter as you just need this for root.
Once you have root you can simply follow the guide in the AOKP thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524108
I know you have stated you want AOKP but if you want a bullet proof simple way to get this all done start with this thread for Team ICSSGS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
I usually like to make sure I have all necessary files, roms & programmes before starting so if anything goes wrong I can get my phone working again. This tutorial will help you with that also.
After following all of this you should have a good understanding of what to do and then you can flash AOKP as their instructions are kind of limited.
Also when choosing an ICS Rom this is a great thread with regards to performance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554621
AOKP is a wonderful choice.
But if I can give you an advice, wait for the next Milestone which is expected to be released over the next few days

Thank you soo much for your help bro
That link for flashing Team ICSSGS has help for everything else. From downloading stock rom to flashing with Odin to flashing ics (in this case team icssgs)
You could potential substitute Team ICSSGS for AOKP.
I got another question..
does Semaphore ICS kernel works on my baseband (i.e - DXJV9) ?
Will do. My favourite.

Great
and finally, Which version of the kernel should i use for official AOKP b34? 1.1.0 or 1.1.0s?
Not sure but both should work. 1.0.1s is for slim ics and other roms. If it is not compatible it will break 720 video recording & playback otherwise eveything else should work. There is also a video patch somewhere.

Alright..I've flashed AOKP b34 and Semaphore 1.1.0s
Everything seems to be fine
But now my sdcard is mounted as internal storage and the actual internal storage is mounted as sdcard..is this a bug or what ?
Even when I connect my phone to my PC using USB,only the actual internal storage (which is mounted as SDcard shows up..
I personally haven't 1.1.0 only 1.0.1sbm with slim ics. I think the 1.1.0 is still a test version for cm9 but could be wrong. Things may have updated since i last looked but i recommend reading the semaphore thread and posting there for more help.

Known bug in Semaphore. Make sure you enable the 'Netfilter' module in the app. When it randomly doesn't work, which is the bug, simply check and uncheck it 2 times and it will work.

[Q] What is the most stable ROM?

I'm planning to sell my Galaxy S I9000, before I sell it I want to flash it with stable ROM with normal battery life, without too much additions, something simple.
Now it has infinitum.

Make the buyer happy, give them ICS. And probably sell it for a bit more.

Galaxy S I wasn't made for 4.0 so I think its better to put something that will be stable and the buyer will be satisfied with it.
if you want to sell it the best deal would be to make it stock , with stock recovery, and latest stock rom. All custom roms have bugs and problems, which necessit reinstaling or updating. If the buyer knows how to work on android he will flash whatever he wants. If he doesn't, it is better with all the bloatware from samsung and every other app and option working properly.

Pls help,Can't get into any recovery at all

Hi everyone
I have just gotten a Samsung galaxy mini. I rooted it and unlocked it okay.
But then I wanted to flash rom and stuff, so I downloaded Odin, and flashed cwm, but... When Odin says pass, it press home + power and the Samsung screen flashed twice and sticks.
But the strangest thing is that it can still boot into android sometimes.
I am on android 2.2.1
iBook anybody can help as it is worrying me a lot
before flashing rom or CWM you will need to upgrade to gingerbread either through odin or Kies
and then flash cwm and after that flash rom with cwm
Thanks for the reply
I can't seem to upgrade via kies, can you provide a link that contains stock Roms for my samsung that can be upgraded via Odin.
Is there any chance of bricking at all?
Do you need any other info?
Thanks

[Q] Signal issues after loading C-RoM Mix v16

Hello all, I've been digging around the forum for a while now and I can't seem to find a fix.
I loaded up C-RoM Mix v16 on my i897 just fine. And everything is working well except the signal is poor to barely there now. Everything I read points to changing the modem to a different version.
The current Baseband version = I9000XXJVT
Since this is a i897 I would assume it should be something for the i897 not I9000
However if I try to load a modem from soggycashew.weebly.com/i897-modems.html in CWM it crashes. I'm assuming they aren't modems that work with ICS?
Help? Suggestions on what\how to replace the modem so I can get better signal again?

Go to CWM and format everything from mount menu (preload/system/data... everything).
This will delete your ROM and then go to the Odin.

I have built a XXLQG rom with all italian files except CSC that comes from XXLQE instead of the specific italian one.
It solves the roaming issue and you can benefit of XXLQG performance improvements.

You just install the tar file with Odin (like all other stock JB roms).
