I have an indian galaxy s.
I got the device 2 days ago.
THE PHONE ROCKS AND IS AMAZINGLY FAST!!!
I love every aspect of it and now i want to root it.
The device is not simlocked, i bought it outright.
It is a non operator specific device.
My operator is vodafone india.
They provide 2.75G services based on 900 MHz and 1800 MHz digital GSM technology.
I have the folln. in *#1234#
PDA:I9000DDJF3
Phone:I9000DDJF3
CSC:I9000DDJF3
I want to know what method I can use to root the device because I read someone saying that you needed to be on some dutch fw to root the device.(If not can i root it like h tt p:// forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t= 728754
Also I'd like to know whether I can install any of the custom roms like pauls modaco r2.
I dont mind using a prebaked ROM.
Is it possible to go to the I9000XWJFF or the I9000XWJG1 or will I have to stay on the I9000DDJF3?
Also on [htt p://samsung-firmware. webs. com /WEBPROTECT-samsungi9000.htm] samsung roms, there is no I9000DDJF3 ROM. So I don't think I can go back to I9000DDJF3 if I muck up anywhere.
Thanks a million in advance.

Hey!
You don't need any Dutch FW or anything. Just follow instructions given here and you're sorted.
You can upgrade to any firmware you want. Our (I'm from India too) stock firmware isn't available unfortunately. Personally, I'd go with JG5. Totally loving the firmware! Though you can flash to Paul's r2. You'll have to flash JG1 first and use the update over that. Also, you'd be automatically rooted if you flashed the r2.
It's pretty difficult to brick your phone honestly. If a flash doesn't work out right you can almost always just enter the download mode and re-flash. I've had issues myself, but nothing to fret about really.

I'm an Indian user too (Bangalore). Bought my SGS almost 2 weeks ago. Was VERY annoyed with the stock firmware (DDJF3). The black-outs really got on my nerve. Will you not be irritated if your 30k phone hangs up on you for several seconds (to open the dialer app so you can type the number down) right when the pretty girl you're talking to offers to give you her phone number, and you have to ask her to wait 5 seconds to write it down?! Of course, the black-outs aren't there all the time. Usually only when you use the phone after a long gap (at least in my case). But it's still VERY annoying. That's NOT what I paid 30k for!
So yeah, finally flashed to JG5 a few days ago. Very happy with it. Although I can still see the black screens, it's always for ~1 second max and it only happens with some apps. Dialer and Contacts don't lag at all anymore. I really think you're gonna love your phone even more if you upgrade your firmware to JG5
Use mimocans lagfix from the sticky if you have a micro sd and way the lag gone.

I will try all this tonight.
Mods can close the thread if they want to.
Thanks everyone again.
I am also from India (Delhi), and currently running rooted JG5 firmware with the sdcard lag fix
I am Hyderabad & i am on jg5 rooted with sd lag fix. Great phone now.
Only thing i am missing after sd card fix is the default ringtones & notifications. Othrwise loving it.
I have recovered from a bricked state about 10 days ago so follow the steps correctly.

Hey guys got my galaxy s from mumbai (irla, andheri). Using from past 2 weeks and this phone rocks.
Guys dont go with jg5, iam on jm2 and it rocks. Rooted with update.zip method and used root explorer to remove unwanted apps and media. This baby rocks. Loving the built in task manager and asphalt 5 is cool.
I have tried samset custom rom when i was on jg5 but i didnt get any performance boost. Iam really happy with the jm2 and waiting for the promised froyo update in the month of august or september.

Hi Abhay,
It is I9000XWJG5. You can download it here. Use the 512 pit which can be found here. I used all 3 files to flash (PDA = CODE, PHONE = MODEM, CSC = CSC). I did it with the re-partition option enabled. I'm using Airtel too, and before flashing the new firmware, I used an app called "APN Backup & Restore" which can be found on the Market to backup my APN settings. Then after flashing JG5, install the same app again and restore the settings. No issues regarding connectivity after that .
Also, I've seen many people report lag in JM2, so I'm still on JG5 and will probably use the same until the next official firmware release. It's just stable and works the way one would expect it to.
BTW, a simple but a very effective tip - once you open the Phone app or the Contacts app, don't use the back button to close it. Use the Home button. I've found that it opens in an instant the next time you use it if you follow this. Same applies for all apps (like Messaging, Music Player etc.).
Good luck! Let us know how it goes
Great to see i9000 gaining ground @ localhost
I am due to buy my i9000 this weekend - hxxp://bit.ly/why-i9000

I bought a Galaxy S last saturday. I tried the JP1 and JP2 Froyo builds but flashed back to JM2 as it was more stabler.

How much you paid for the device? best I could get was INR 27,500 in New Delhi
28K in Bangalore.
Sorry, this might seem offtopic - Chroma Retail chain users can get an additional discount from hxxp://bit.ly/b3XzIH
I bought my SGS 2 weeks back and OMFG it rocks. I can usually be found rocking it in the office elevator and when people ask about it I act all annoyed
Anyway, I rooted the phone and have taken a Titanium backup. I plan to flash JG5 and do the lagfix, but will Titanium restor ALL my apps and settings? I have spent of a lot of time customizing this baby (I would highly recommend the paid version of LauncherPro Plus) and don't want to lose all that hard work.
Also, once I apply the lagfix, will it be a problem flashing future FW's?
Thanks!
EDIT: Bought it from Mumbai for 28K
EDIT2: Is it possible to partition my sd card from within my phone? My linux does not recognize my laptop's card reader and I don't know of any way in Windows7
Yes. It is possible to partition without resorting to Computer. Search the internet for 'sdparted'. But that script will not help you create EXT3/EXT4. Works only with EXT2 and FAT32 etc. I guess it may support EXT3/4 partition resize though.
I did a Firmware OTA last week and since then i feel the LAG on my Galaxy Note...
Symptoms are more Visible while Performing the Scroll in the Contacts...

"After sometime the lag comes back..."
Sounds like its an app or combination of apps you download/install.

I`am not fond of updates and always try to flash the whole rom. Download the rom for your country/region from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3. Install Odin 1.85. Do a data wipe/factory reset in recovery mode and cache wipe. Go in downloadmode and connect to Odin and flash the unzipped rom you downloaded. Usually that is much better.
Good luck

I don't know guys why you are facing this problem, I have same ROM n i dont have any issue. It is not necessary but i always like to update my ROM with clean installation.
I mean before update i like to hard reset my device, another thing i never update my device with Kies/OTA. b'coz it erases Root.
So here is best way to get update.
First downgrade to older ROM
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1
you will find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Read post #2 of above thread regarding Installation guide.
Now if you are interested then You can get Root + CWM (use my guide)
Now after root, you can have Data backup, you can use Titanium backup / Mybackup Pro
Hard reset device.
Now you can update latest ROM (use same tread as above for ROM)
with using CWM/Mobile Odin
You can restore your data, which you have backed up earlier
( You should not restore system part, as it may inject old junk)
Now you will have clean update ROM on your device.
Thanks a lot brother ketan ...
Well , going by the Good ole saying "First Impression is the best Impression"...
I felt the initial firmware is much better .. hence i used your Step by step Procedure to flash old firmware and here i am .. back to Level 1...
Now I feel my Phone is super Fast ... and I really have to think 100 times from now before i plan to do a Firmware update... I fine with the DEC 2011 Firmware Version.
Thanks to all the Folks who Participated in this thread...
Its worth a share of knowledge.
Have a Blast folks ......
Thanks a Ton again .
Sai
But experience of new rom also not less charming!
And now u have old rom handy, (n of course experience to downgrade) so after some time your finger gets itchy to feel new ROM
But really it's wonderful.

Yes you can. There are lots of useful posts here guiding you through and holding your hand, but *you* need to spend 5 minutes looking for them, OK?
I don't know which ROM you are on, but generally GB has been very reliable. You might wish to reflash the rom or flash another version.
As a start, look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Your request does require you to take time reading and trying out. Probably 2 hours of reading/learning time, 1 hour installation of software and trying out.
If you are at all unsure about any of this or if it's simply too much hard work, take your phone back to a Samsung Care Point and explain your problem. They will reflash it for you.
Hi Guys, I am new in here. I need help for my sony xperia tx handset. My phone was completely ok when it was running on android 4.1.2 jellybean version. There was not a single problem. After the update of jellybean 4.3 version there is some trouble i am facing and the very big trouble is with the battery.
Ok after the update now if i charge my battery to 100% the handset turn off by itself but that is not the big problem. The main problem is when it's charged 100% and i am using my phone with my 3G data connection on, when the charge leve comes to 65-60% if i restart my phone it drops to 20%-25% and if i dosen't restart my phone on that point (65%-60%) and continue using the phone when it comes to 50% or like 45% it shows me Low Battery and turn off. My battery is ok but there is something wrong with the new firmwire i guess. I reinstalled my os using sony SUS but it didn't help.
So can you guys suggest me something to overcome this problem? please i need a solution urgent.
Thanks A Lot

Re: TX battery problem
Most likely it's not your phone, just a software problem. You can downgrade by flashing unbranded TX FW from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648320 and wait for the fix release for .205.
I would also suggest making a ftf from your current firmware before flashing, so if you have connectivity problems due to the regional radio frequences (unlikely) you can flash just a baseband from your .205 ftf.

thank you so much ArtDc, I have read the thread you suggested but I didn't find any unbranded ftf for my country so can you please tell me which ftf I can use on my tx? Honkong or any country else? And also I do not know how to backup my original firmware so it will be very helpful if you can tell me in simple way to do that.
Thank you again bro.

BTW even if downgrading doesn't help (I hope it does) don't rush with a new phone, try replacing the battery. There were similar problems reported for Xperia V due to the battery failure.

Ok...downgrading might not solve the issue. Here are a few things to try.
1) For the phone shutdown issue when charged to 100% install safecharge from playstore. It will prevent the issue from happening.
2) Are you rooted? if yes you can download an app from playstore to clear your battery stats and let it recalibrate....it sure looks like a calibration issue to me
3) Do you have a microsd card in the phone? try without it..microsd cards can cause a lot of issues on this phone
4) Do a complete factory reset....i really mean a complete, that is you need to wipe your internal storage to..Don't forget to backup your stuff first.
Give it a try and let me know

Hey bro,
1) i've already installed Safecharge from play store and yes it does prevent my phone from shutting down when 100% charged.
2) No i'm not rooted so i guess i can't download the battery callibrator app. Is there any other way to do so?
3) yes i've MicroSD card installed. I tried without it once but not for long but it was same behavior.
4) I did a complete factory reset with erase internal memory fully. After that my phone was Really OK for a while but after installing all the apps from my backup maybe 1-2 days later same problem occurs.
If you need to know which apps i am using right now here is the list of my apps
Whatsapp, Viber, Twitter, Flashlight, ESfile manager, Android Assistant, Audio Manager(For hiding image), Google Translator, GoSMS pro, All the default apps Facebook is pre-installed but i don't use facebook And no antivirus.
Can you find the problem bro?
Thanks A Lot.

If you are not routed you cannot recalibrate battery manually. Anyway when you factory reset it should in theory clear battery stats.
Have you tried not restoring apps from backup? try it..
If still no good i suggest you change the battery...Its unlikely to be the phone itself.
Tried flashing an FTF from another region?

Once again, as it has been said many times before, deleting battery stats does not improve battery life, and does not affect the battery in any way whatsoever. If you want to delete the stats, just charge your phone, it'll delete and reset once it gets to a full charge and you unplug it. Basically, if you want to do some sort of calibration, just let your phone discharge all the way until it turns off, then let it charge all the way to 100% without unplugging it.
In the end, as stated here:
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.
It has no impact on your battery life.
Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI.

Regarding preventing your phone from shutting off when reaching 100%, I think this behavior is controlled by some system app. It's only happened to me once. What I generally do after flashing is freeze all the bloatware, so I think I might also be freezing the app that controls this behavior.
I actually never believed people who said it happened to them until I forgot to freeze the usual apps I freeze, but I still haven't pinpointed which app it is, so I could also be wrong (which doesn't make sense since after two days when my battery runs out I generally leave it charging during the night, and it never turns off).
ArtDc no I haven't flashed any ftf from another region coz the link you gave for ftf there I found one ftf of 4.1.2 which is hongkong and i tried downloading it yesterday but the file is missing. I made my current firmware backup using flash tool last night. So what do you think? Should I try downgrade my os or stay on the current version? For the battery behavior, I am really frustrated even it's showing 45-50% but turns off suddenly. If the battery is draining faster that is not a problem for me but the percentage should show accurately so that I know when it's going to turn off. That is the main problem.

Here's the link to 4.1.2 that seems to be working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333374 Hope that will fix it. If so, and if you want a 4.3, then you can gradually upgrade to the higher versions (.295, 199, .205) from different regions and see which one is good for your phone. If not, I believe you could root the 4.1.2 once you're back on it, and then you will have more options to use different mods/tools to solve your problem. Anyway, I would play with different software available before investing into repairs/battery replacement. FW for some regions was reported to be more stable than others, e.g. .205 CE Skyfall seems to have least issues. You could try it right away. Although, battery issues mostly surfaced with the 4.3 update, but who knows, it might work for you. Good luck!
Edited: please ignore the .205 CE Skyfall above, no such FW for Xperia TX as far as I know. Got confused with .199 CE and .205 IT Skyfall editions, but that's for Xperia T. You can't use it for TX, of course. Once again, I would try downgrading to 4.1.2 and/or different regions/versions of 4.3.

My mistake about .205 CE Skyfall, edited in the previous post. I would first downgrade back to 4.1.2 just to make sure it's a software issue, and then try available TX versions of 4.3, they may be different regarding to various bugs.

Ok ArtDc I got it. No problem. I'll try the 4.1.2 version to check if this problem is a software issue or my battery is week. I'll tell you after the process.
Thanks a lot for your valuable replays.

From my experience, you can flash any region as long as it is unbranded or generic
Sent from my LT25i using XDA Free mobile app

Hello,
Just bought some weeks ago my S5 and now I've the update Lollipop reminder everyday.
I just had an bad experience with my last HTC, so now before going to Lollipop I would like to save my current and original ROM.
I've searched on Google and seen some people saying to use odin and oders CWM.
Can someone help to get my original ROM downloaded from my phone?
MY PHONE IS NOT ROOTED, can we do it anyway?
thanks in advance

Hello. You can download the Original Stock ROM from Sammobile. Note down your Build Number which you can find Under Settings->Phone Info. Then head to sammobile and search for your Version,and download it. Beware that updating to lollipop,your baseband and Bootloader will change. You will also need the BL and Baseband for Kitkat,which you can find here on XDA,there is a collection just search for it
I know about that.
I've done it using Odin on my Samsung ACE2, but found different from original ROM!
One time I've upgraded to version 4.1.2 and it was so slow, that I had to downgrade again.
Just found Russian ROM to downgrade and it's a little different from my country.
If there is no option, so I will let the S5 go to Lollipop!
Let see if I don't get Camera problems, GSM or Wi-Fi.
I will cross fingers!!!
thank anyway
Already let my phone to update to Lollipop and.....
1st impact..... I DON'T LIKE IT!
the green-blue background colour is terrible.
why not possible to change this theme, to black for instance?
the biggest negative problem is that I can't get write access to my micro-Sd card.
read in a lot of sites that wire access will be given to 3rd parties apps, but NOT TRUE!
does someone that has Lollipop has wire access to sd card with 3rd partie app?
thanks mate

because its not their job to pander to everyones needs. theyve used the same skin and color scheme for years now and its up to you to do research into what phone you want to buy and how it looks. the update has been out for so long that you could have seen its looks before you upgraded
