Issues about ROM, UPDATE, APPS & LAG FIX - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi People
I am new to this Forum and please i need all the help i can get.
Over a month ago i upgraded my Galaxy S to a 2.2 using odin after o2 told me i was a pay as u go customer and could not get one.
However, i noticed Flash 10.1, youtube and some other apps will not update. Angry birds will not even install.
Is there anyway to update to the official Froyo, get the latest ROM and eliminate lags.
Thanks in advance

anybody please

@tcoker1,
Have you tried hard resetting(or even factory resetting) the phone?
It works for most cases..

Try using one of the custom roms. (Eg docs).they are very fast and are based on the newest official roms

I upgraded via ODIN downgraded once official O2 firmware was released to Eclair used the Kies Registry Patcher to change the details to the correct ones for O2 UK .
AS per my post
I kept failing with Kies using JM1 eventual success was via this method .
Used old Kies + NoDial registry patcher .
Its an unlocked O2UK phone
Changed to
Software Revision: I9000ADJF1/I9000O2UJF2_/I9000ADJF1/I9000ADJF1

Quickly upgrade through KIES

As you may know, KIES will let you download official updates only if the "SoftwareRevision" and "ProductCode" match
I've made some registry files which will let you upgrade without manually editing the registry.
it's pretty simple:
1.connect your device to the computer
2.open KIES
3.load the desired reg file
4.try to update (some versions need "Test Mode" to be turned on)
if it doesn't work:close KIES, delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung and then try again (KIES will rebuild the values, this time your device will be in number 1)
currently there are reg files for the following firmwares:
JM1 (product code XEU)
JM2 (product code XEE)
JG8 (product code XSG)
please add more combinations
Where i can get the product code for Bulgaria ? my phone was with JF5 stock but i flashed JM1
EDIT: Deleted XXX trick, needs more research !
love this! kies upgrades are much easier. Now i dont have to reinstall all apps and settings.
upgraded to JM1
when i used the XXX trick, only JFA was offered
UK Virgin
Hi, i have JF5 firmware and wish to know which file i install from the rar file included i am in the uk.

Stick this thread.
can you explain with a little more detail the point of this ? surely you dont want to be downloading foreign firmwares or am i missing the point

I'm from Israel, there are no local firmwares so I must use foreign firmwares
The "point" is to make a database with combinations of product codes and firmwares
some people are more comfortable with KIES (although I prefer odin) and this just can make their life a little easier when upgrading.
one more advantage when upgrading through KIES: your data isn't lost (but only some times which I haven't figured out yet)
I too vote for stickying this thread, knowing working combinations for firmware files would be of great help for my upcoming Kies upgrade helper tool

nothing... Kies software itself is the latest version, and i didnt even install the latest one because it didnt work i got hold of an old version, that the reason? because its the latest version i mean

change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\FUS
FUS_TEST from 00000000 to 00000001
Cool, this upgrade-"hack" works, I run the XEEJM2-file, and Kies enables me to actually upgrade to JM2.
It downloads the update, the phone restarts to Download-mode, but then I get an error-message on the PC, regarding Binaryloadermgr.exe failing. First it was because of a rapi.dll-file, then when I found the rapi.dll file and put it in the right directory, it gave me another error-message..
But all this might be because of Win7 x64...
Should try on a XP machine too
thanks.
I succesfully upgraded from jf3 to jm1.
can anyone tell me if this trick will work for froyo update as well?
So let's say if samsung releases froyo at the end of September and I follow exact steps as shown above, will I get upgrade to froyo instead of JM1?
Also what does JF3 and JM1 all mean?
I know that they are different firmware versions available but how do you know which one is the latest?
I think J means 2010 and M means perhaps August?
Cheers
Are you saying that using this method I can upgrade to JM1 without going through this flashing stuff? At the moment I have JG5 with Kies telling me "Your device cannot be updated"

Upgrade to JPO after using reg hack?

I did the reg hack to get Froyo a while back and now I want to update to the official UK Froyo (pref O2).
Iv already done an update but I think its the nordic version.
my current version is:
PDA: I9000WJPA
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000XEEJP4
Any way I can do this?
Hi, Same happened with me. I had JPA too, so had to do another reg hack toget JPO.
I did this,
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]
"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"
You need to make sure you are using an old version of kies.
anybody got a link to a older version of kies ive got the same problem but have updated my kies

oficial update for Spain
Same problem here. Mine was originally branded (Movistar - Spain) with product code XEC.
Any spanish user could tell me which PDA/PHONE/CSC and product code I must use to fool kies and get the oficial update?
By the way, if I do that, will I get a Samsung Froyo or a Movistar branded firmware with all the crap inside?

I got tired of waiting. Downloaded and installed XEU JP0 this afternoon, runs really well on my o2 UK SGS.
Me too, I've flashed my phone to O2 UK stock FW two weeks ago waiting for froyo but nothing so far. Going to flash XEU on 15th nov if nothing changed.
Hi. Can you do favor for me and others in Czech,Slovakia. Is in your flashed JPO possibility to switch to Czech, Slovak locale in localization settings and also swype input language ? Is it from samfirmware ? Thanks very much.

I feel your pain.. Still nothing on Orange UK either.
I emailed Orange to ask if they could tell me when it would be released, got this reply:-
"Thank you for your email regarding your Samsung handset.
I am sorry to learn that you are unaware of our process regarding firmware updates for Orange phones. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
I would like to advise that Orange customers are not able to obtain firmware updates direct from Samsung themselves, this is due to the Orange branding that you have on your phone that allows you to use this on our network.
Please find below a link to our website where you are able to check in the future if an update via Orange has been released.
http://www2.orange.co.uk/servlet/Sa...96364420640&product=Feature&t=Product&tabid=1
Be aware that your handset may not be available on the listings until if or when an update is released.
When a new update is made available by a handset manufacturer they will pass a version of this to Orange so that we can run the required tests to confirm that this update they have released will co-exist with the Orange branding that you are required to use on your phone.
It is possible that the new update that is released may not co-exist with the Orange branding and thus we will not be able to release the update for the Samsung Galaxy, if they can not co-exist and we were to release this to your phone, this could effectively be detrimental to your handset and Orange will not process for this reason.
If the update version can not co-exist with the Orange branding then we will wait for Samsung to release a new update to which we will restart the testing process accordingly.
Be aware that it is not possible to advise of any estimated timescale for the testing of this update by Orange, furthermore, we can not guarantee that an update will be released at all regarding the Samsung Galaxy as the updates that could be released may never work alongside the Orange branding on the phone.
Because some of this information is speculative and based on situations regarding the testing of updates that may or may not ever be released by Samsung and the time it takes to complete the testing of the new updates, please accept my sincere apologies that we can not be more specific regarding your query.
As with the current Android update it has been released via an Over-The-Air format, this may be the situation for the the next available update, but this method we will not be able to confirm until the update is valid for Orange UK handset users when it has been released.
Please be advised that the answers to many common queries can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section in the Help and Support option on the Home page of our website.
www.orange.co.uk
I trust this information clarifies your query"
I have one of the O2 unlocked handsets, just went for the XEU update, works like a charm

Could u tell us: pda,phone and CSC versions please ?
I would be grateful, cuz I'm waiting for O2 FW just for the APN settings and for future updates.
If I update to XEU Froyo version now can I update to O2 Froyo version when they decide to release it?
Just thinking about warranty etc...

You can always change back to what you need via Odin if you're comfortable with that. If not, wait for official Kies update or you'll have lots of work to do.

JPO from samfirmware sets product code to xxkor :/
While they claim that it is europian firmware, so ... and does not have cz/sk swype. I have backup of some important files so ot is not prob, but better is to be pattient and wait for official froyo. This is my advice for ordinary peoples.

I am happy to use Odin and don't mind the effort but are there actual O2 ROMs around that I can flash back onto the device later if needed?
Also will flashing an XEU ROM change my product code?

i'm O2 SGS user uk, updated my sgs last night to JPA via kies, didn't need reg edit hack... had jp6 (via kies using reg edit) previously. was available since 15/11/10 @ 2100 GMT, recommend rooting SGS via pc and OCLF, quad score before was 980 after was 1800.
much more solid compared to JP6.... need to fully test it but why you reading this get the new firmware!!!
forgot to add, needed to click the update firmware button more then once as i think the server which you download JPA from is quite busy, it is there though, thank goodness i don't need to deal with kies for a while!

help to upgrade to UK orange firmware

I have heard that the uk orange 2.2 firmware is available through kies. I flashed the rom two months ago from orange 2.1 firmware to JPO firmware. Now i want to flash back to orange 2.2 firmware.
The strange thing is that I cannot upgrade through Kies even I flashed to JF1 firmware by Odin (upgrade buttom does not work). My production code: I9000HKDORA.
Then I use Odin to flash the new uk orange 2.2 firmware (I9000BVJP8), i can sucessfully flash but cannot enter the system. it stoped at the first image "I9000'.
Anyone can help me?
Thank you.
I am a complete noob so this is probably wrong but cant you use reg hack ( on this forum somewhere) to spoof your phone firmware on kies?
Tried the orange 2.2 update and really didnt rate it, mainly because it didnt really improve anything from 2.1 so used the reg hack to unbrand and get jpy.
This I do like-give it a try .
Thank you. Why I want to upgrade the official one is that I found there is no phone signal at most time when I flashed other firmwares. Could you tell me what firmware you are using for your orange branded phone? Any signal ?

Help debranding i5800

Hello am very new to android. Have just got a I5800 that was originally on t mobile. Its unlocked now but i want to flash a generic official rom. I know how to root it if needs be. Could someone advise me on how to go about the debranding.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
Go to samfirmware.com there you'll find roms (official). Search here in the forum for a flashing guide...
ok i have just found the flashing guide.
i forgot to ask about the CSC. i have a diffrent windows mobile samsung (omnia lite b7300) and when i flashed this for the first time i never knew about the CSC.
my question is this. i assume flashing one package will also flash the CSC, and on the winmo omnia lite the CSC had details of the operators that the data settings are automatically recognised for.
is this the same for android devices and if so does anyone have a UK English CSC for the i5800 or is there any way i can back it up and reflash or am i just worrying about nothing
thanks for your help
Well if you're asking that if you flash one package, it will also flash the csc? Probable and if you want a csc for i5800 just download jpf.
yeah looks like JPF has a english CSC.. hope it has provider settings for the uk lol.
am gonna go try flash when the firmwares downloaded hopefully il be ok.
thanks everyone for your fast replys
anyone got any english i5800 roms with CSC included before i smash it out of frustration. loved this phone before this
found the language option but i still need a english uk default rom or csc because of service proivider settings and when i hard reset
Well download a rom from here and flash and you should be on froyo in the u.k and if not try finding an XW rom

just found that you can change the CSC and product code same way you do with another phone (the SGS i think)
*#272*imei#
where imei is your imei
also hard resets, but on reboot it asked me if i was o2 prepay postpay or tesco mobile.
PERFECT!
off to see wat KIES says.
EDIT :
This device cannot be updated
PDA:JPM / PHONE : JP4 / CSC : JPF (XEU)
Not that that matters i have the right csc
