[Q][SOLVED] Noob question about flashing

Hello all,
I have an i9000 running:
PDA: I9000XWJPA
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000XEFJP3
Build Info: 2010.10
According to the firmwares linked in samfirmware.com, this seems to be the following firmware
I9000XWJPA ## 803.PIT Version 2.2 2010 October DOWNLOAD 1 file select NO .PIT
As many people reports that XXJPY is faster, I'd like to upgrade my cellphone to this newer version. However, samfirmware.com states
I9000XXJPY ## 512.PIT Version 2.2.1 2010 December DOWNLOAD 1 file select NO .PIT
So, the PIT file is different. What does this represent in terms when upgrading using ODIN? Can I perform this upgrade safely from my current firmware?
In that webpage there are two warnings: "Please when you have only one file SKIP RE-PARTITION!" && "Use only .PIT files if you have 3 files!" However, I have a different PIT file in my current firmware, so I suppose I have to use the 512.PIT file even having only one file. But what about the rest of files? And... when changing the PIT file, should I repartition & wipe my phone?
Thank you very much!

Try without re-partitioning, it should work. If it does not you can always re-flash with re-partition (using the 512.PIT).

Succeeded!
Hello all,
first of all, thank you admins for moving this thread into the appropiate subforum
I want to share my experience about the successfull upgrading my phone into XXJPY just in case anyone is looking for the same.
First, I downloaded the XXJPU & XXJPY firmwares from the samfirmware.com and also ODIN 1.3. I installed successfully XXJPU firmware on my phone using ODIN through the cellphone download mode. I set Repartition, I chose the 512-PIT and the 3 files (PDA, MODEM and CSC). The ODIN process took approx 3 mins and the time needed for the phone to reboot was not exhagerated (2-3 mins?).
Then I upgraded my phone to XXJPY in a bad way. I reopened ODIN, I checked repartition, I chose the 512-PIT and put the XXJPY single file into PDA. After upgrading, the phone was not able to boot fine. It showed some strange error when booting only the first time, and after that, every boot turned into showing the Samsung logo endlessly.
So, I reflashed XXJPU as described before. And then flashed XXJPY using the 512-PIT, without checking repartition and I set the PDA file to be the .tar file downloaded from the firmwares webpage. After that, the flash took about 3 mins, and again the first boot took some extra time. But finally, I got the phone running XXJPY, which indeed is running smoother than the original fw I had.
In brief:
You can upgrade from:
PDA: I9000XWJPA
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000XEFJP3
Build Info: 2010.10
to
PDA: I9000XXJPY
PHONE: I9000XXJPY
CSC: I9000XXJPY
Build Info: 2010.12
at least upgrading first to XXJPU (repartition, 512pit, tri-file) and then to XXJPY (no repartition, 512pit, one-file).
Regards.

I flashed a 2.2 custom rom but the problem now is that my phone cant see the simcard.
my firmware info are :
PDA : I9000JPJPG
Phone : Unknown
CSC : I9000OJPJPF
the problem is that odin wont recognize my phone in download mode but does recognize my brother's phone ( No driver problem on my pc ).
I should note that i have clockworkmod recovery and that i have tried to install other 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms but same problem.
Ahh i also must mention that my phone also lost the IMEI number.
What should i do ?

Try Heimdal instead of Odin, OR, try Odin3 1.7 from my signature.

How do i backup my original Rom ?

Hi all,
I guess this subject must have come by, but i have not been able to find it using the search bar. So i hope some 1 can help me.
On my company we have 4 Samsung Galaxy I9000 in use, and 1 spare phone as backup.
Some of my collegue (and me aswell) changed our rom to Darky 9.5 and we are all very happy with it.
Now there is 1 phone that needs to return to the shop for repairs and i wanted to make a backup from the spare phone we have here. So i could flash his phone back to original rom.
I am from the Netherlands and the Rom that comes with the Phone is:
KIES says:
- PDA: JPC
- Phone: JPP
- Modem: JS2 (KPN(provider))
*#1234# says:
PDA: I9000XWJPC
Phone: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000KPNJS2
Is there a way to back up this Rom ? Or any other ideas on how to get this rom on the other phone ?
ty in advance for tips and tricks

well you could root a phone that is on stock ROM and make a nandroid backup and restore that on the phone to be sent back..
or you could go to www.samfirmware.com and find your firmware there and flash it using ODIN.

You have a 2.2 release, there is a 2.2.1 for this phone :
Code:
CheckFusDownloader_v0.5.exe -dl I9000XWJPC/I9000KPNJS2/I9000XXJPP/I9000XWJPC KPN
Give me:

It's the official ROM is you try to upgrade your phone with Kies 2.0. You can try to install a SpeedMod Kernel before upgrading to format system and cache and wipe Dalvik cache, return in Download mode and Flash this ROM via Odin v1.3 in "One file Mode" (no repartition and no pit file, just the ROM in PDA file).
You need to have the 3 button combo working to do all this things to go in Recovery mode for "clean up" the phone via SpeedMod (no necessary but always good to do).

Ideal backup would be genuine original rom or genuine updated rom via Kies and back that up as stock factory rom .
I did via Kies registry spoofing and i believe that current Kies allows you to save firmware or at least its downloaded during the update and you save a copy before the actual update .
jje

Ooh a kies registry spoofing. Hmmm will have to look that up tomorrow. Is that hard to do ?
Will i be able to put that firmware on any sgs ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Hum, my reply make download on PC the OFFICIAL release on Samsung FUS server used by Kies 2.0 and it's a working method NOW. Registry spoofing doesn't work anymore !

Hi, i replied the topic on my phone. now i see the replies that came before the registry 1..
Ty all for helping me. i am gonna try some and let you know the outcome.

[Q] Updating from Android 2.2.1 to 2.3.3

Hello,
It is the first time when trying to change ROM on my galaxy s. Before I start I want to be sure I take the right steps.
First of all some info about my phone:
PDA version is I9000BUJS3
PHONE: I9000BUJS1
CSC: I9000GATLJS2
I downloaded the ROM via Check Fus Downloader from samsung:
CSC: I9000GATLJP5
Phone: I9000BUJP5
PDA: I9000BUJP7
All I need to do now is to run odin and select the .tar file in the PDA field, correct?
Code:
Procedure:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (For kernel flashes, only PDA is required. For FW flashes, .PIT and at least a PDA is required. Some PDAs have Modem and CSC integrated. Make sure you have the correct .PIT file. Usually 512.pit)
3.Check the "Re-Partition" checkbox. (Only do this if you have separate packages for PDA, Modem and CSC! Don't do this for single PDA flashes or kernel flashes!)
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.When the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.
My phone was sim locked when I bought it ( now is unlocked, i suppose it will stay unlocked after upgrading).
Thank you!

Be carefull to flash firmware your phone need to be sim unlocked and network unlocked.Lot of people dont check this.See the post about it.
[email protected]

your phone will stay unlocked
and your instructions above are fine
should that fail - you may need a 2.3 rom with all 3 files instead of the 1 .tar file

How to know for sure? And if will fail it will leave my device in an unstable state?

And another question: Does the bootloader for 2.2.1 work with 2.3 ?

I think you actually need the stock FroYo bootloader to upgrade to 2.3? I may be incorrect, don't quote me. 2.3.3 has its own bootloader I believe.

You flash wrong firmware?
Is your phone I8190 or what?
How you tried repartition? What file it was? Errors?
After stock firmware you have to make hard reset(factory reset) that wipe all older files from phone. So back up is needeed if wanna save.
I can give you that WIPE files if wanna. Use with ODIN(pda)

I've had this problem, I solved it by formatting /modem via CWM and flashing modem.bin via Odin in PDA.
But I still have this CP: XXXX issue.

Why you flash just modem.bin? Was it for you country??! It is region -code dependies(country and what telephone network phone can use....) So your problem XXXX means, there is not any....
Did you hard reset after flashing?

Because I flashed a bootloader in there accidentally it was a typo really. So no matter what I did modem didn't work, so I had no choice but to format /modem and flash everything all over again. I think I deleted a file needed to recognize my Baseband version, the phone works normally it just doesn't show any Baseband version.
