im in need of the stock 3.2 firmware... does anyone have it or a link so i can download it thanks
fanamlappi;18315374]Did you figure out how to root it with 4.0.4? I have been looking everywhere for a solution. There are tutorials on the 7300 7310 7320 and 7320t but nothing on the i957. From what I have read this requires a different rooting process than the 7300 series. I believe the 7320 and 7320t are late versions but the kernels and methods will brick this one. Am I right? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am new here to XDA. I have leaned a ton in the short time I have been here thanks to forums, threads, and responses from members of the community. What a huge resource of help full people and information! Thank you!

First of all, hello. I am basically a very, VERY huge newbie that just bought an Samsung Galaxy S I9000B and I would like to start to understand specific terms used in this forums (for example, XXJBA ROM, rooting). Can anyone give me a starting guide about this ? I intend to update my phone to android 2.3.3 but I don't know if it's possible (it is a customized one from a Brazilian Carrier called VIVO and if possible I want to remove everything). So I don't know even where to start. Any guides, specific threads, advices, tips, anything to start ?
Thank you,
Amid
Download an app from the market called 'root and me'. It's a great guide for beginners

Okay, thanks. Let me read all those threads and guides than I will be back for more. Thank you again.
BTW, not wanting to rush things but very curious: will I be able to update my phone I9000B to Android 2.3.3 ? Will the B in the end of the model destroy my hopes ? Just a quick answer, don't need to detail it at this point.
Hello again,
I've read the suggested threads and some other material, included the root and me app information. Now I know that the first step to clean my SGS is to root it. The application don't exactly specify which method should I use: SuperOneClick or Z4root. I understand the SuperOneClick is the old method, more dangerous and Z4Root is a new app that does the job but required USB debugging or something like that. So here is the next question (this way, I will be able to create a stick for all newbies, just by tracing my steps): Which method should I use ? Repeating myself, I have a Samsung Galaxy S, Model Number: GT-I9000B, Firmware version 2.2, Vivo Carrier (from Brazil), Baseband Version I9000BBVJJPD, Build number FROYO.VJJPD.
Thank you very much again.

Hi again guys,
No answer yet ? Really ? Am I doing something wrong ? Am I in the wrong forum (I was directed to this forum from androidz.com.br) ? I've tried to find the answers searching other topics but the search function is not very useful in forums. Also, there is no sticky here to help newbies.
The reason I was asking here is because I can't find answers in other places. I don't dare to simply trial and error, which is what I normally do when I have multiple choices, because I am afraid of bricking my phone; It's not that I am lazy to look for answer in other places; I simply can't find them.
Can someone help a newbie or at least point me to an updated guide ?
Thank you very much,
Amid
ok, I do have my nice new samsung rooted, but some functionality can only be done via other rom's etc. Rooting my evo and custom rom's etc is not new for me but I don't want to mess up as clockwork backup didn't work so I needed to re-read and understand but the forum has always helped so well, I would continue the tradition.
With that I am looking at this thread;
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-samsung-galaxy-tab/
Now the only issue I have is this step (Extract Galaxy Tab root files.zip to find two files named, gt-p1000_mr.pit and dbdata.tar.) as the problem is this is the newer p1010, so will that be a problem? I have yet to make a full backup as I said clockwork doesn't work with this tab, so a little hesitant to just do that.
I don't really care if it's 2.3.3 or better yet overcome, but have yet to find a simple 'how-to' with the p1010 tablet. This is a wireless only device, so no carrier.
My first post helped with some things regarding this device, but things like 'the dev forum can answer' is not an accurate statement at all which is why the post is being put in the 'general Q&A'.
Thanks for all real help and replies!
Can you give me a super noob step-by-step tutorial about this one

I'm in Asia so i think that it will benefit me if i do this. But the problem is I have no clue on how. It's just my 2nd week of having an android so i don't know anything about them. But I really need the voice as well as the 3g and HSDPA function of the tab.
Can anyone help me with this one? I will gladly appreciate it and will hit your thank you button in the process.
Go to the developement forum, find overcome rom, doesn't matter which one then you will find, at the bottom of the 1st post, a link to the overcome site that has the guide to flashing to gingerbread through ODIN. It also has links to all the files needed.
BEFORE FLASHING HOWEVER, GO HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 AND USE THE BOOTLOADER CHECK APK. It could be the difference between a brick and a successful flash...
One bit of advice, if you don't understand something, ask a question in the QA forum, NEVER in developement forum, You will be flamed and possibly reported. Make sure you read and follow steps EXACTLY or you may end up with a brick...
Cheers....
if I follow this, would i be able to have HSDPA on my galaxy tab tmobile here in asia?
I have managed to root the S5839i after doing some research, but I can't seem to find any mention of how to install CMW on this version of the phone, and there doesn't seem to be any ROMs available, could someone help me with this please?
Did you READ the forums?
If you had, it would have been pretty clear to you that there is practically no development for the device. Its just beginning!
Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!
Details here.
Yes I looked all over the forums, hence asking the question? Why else would I post it? I thought there might be at least one custom rom out there, but thanks for confirming there is little to no development.
Hello everyone. This sure is a terific forum for android resources.
I have a i9000T on Android 2.2.1 and I'm planning to flash it to CM10 Jelly Bean when the next M series firmware is released. I'm comfortable with doing geeky things with computers but not so much on Android phones since I'm pretty new to it and hadn't been exposed to it that much. In the past so far I managed to root the I9000T with CMW to back it up and installed a commandline app on it.
I've done a lot of reading and research on the I9000 but I haven't gotten to any resources explaining how modems work or how one is compatible with another. I'm under the impression that after flashing to CM10 I might have to install the modem or a compatible modem for my i9000T to work. My current baseband shows UBJP9 which doesn't have a lot of useful hits on google. I've found the modem collection at this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870460) but couldn't find the exact match. (How come some on the list have only 3 digits?) My question is then how to figure which ones on the list are compatible with my device, and how to apply the file to the device?
On a side note, how do we decipher the baseband code and figure which other basebands are compatible with one another? The first 2 digits are country code, and the next 3 are modem codes?
If someone would help explain some of those questions or point me to resources to read about those things I greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I came from there initially, and wanted to ask in that thread but wasn't allowed to. I sort of not want to test the modems one by one because being a noob at androids usage I wouldn't be able to recognize if one is better than another. But reading that thread more closely I now know what the last 3 characters mean, although not all of it makes sense (for instance the P in my JP9 doesn't really map to a month).
I think the general tone one could get from that thread is more of like "try and see" and doesn't really answer my curiosities. Also from the discussions one would think that newer versions don't neccesarily mean better. I'm hoping to find more insight on what makes a firmware compatible with another, but the discussions there (or other sources I've come across) doesn't lead that way. The country code on my current modem is for Brazil but it is working in the US. That sort of suggests that the transmission bands the carrier operate on could be more important, and maybe some would suggest to go for modem firmwares in the country where the phone is actually being used. I was hoping to find discussions that tell us what all those firmware are, or what they do (i.e whether a firmware would make the phone work on one specific band or multiple bands, etc..) and things of that nature.

Thanks. So I'll flash to CM10, then flash the modem alone using one of the modem firmwares in the above thread? Is it possible to keep my current modem going from Froyo 2.2.1 to CM10 Jellybean? Ideally I'd like to keep my current modem in CM10 to see how well it works (if it works). Is the modem association separate from the OS, or does the OS already have a specific modem associated with it when the OS was put together? If the latter case, every time we flash CM10 with newer M or nightly builds we'll also need to flash the modem afterward again?
Thank everyone for your input so far. Sorry to throw all those questions out there, but I wish there's some kind of reference to how Androids work so we all can benefit from.
Hi,
