I flashed my phone to some firmwaer i downloaded.. now samsung released an update but if i connect my phone to Kies it tells me that i couldnt do an update on this firmware...

someone told me that i had to get the official firmware from kies so i could get the official update.. is that true?? And if yes, where can i get this firmware??

Would be nice to get an answer..

Great video!

Would the way of flashing in this video equally apply to Samsung GT-i5800 Galaxy 3?

Thanks in advance!

[nottinghammassive]

AFTER CARRYING OUT THE FLASH IF YOU ARE IN THE UK DO THE FOLLOWING

[nage46]

Great info mate. Keep up the good work.

[erolchoo]

hi im am going to buy this phone and i really dont understand much of this flashing thing .So can someone explain me the steps of doing it.I mean should i first root it or not?whats the first thing i need to do with it when i buy it and whats the last?and do i need an extra external sd card?

[avatar43210]

Great guide mate :)

Managed to flash my SGS crapped my pants when it was flashing as only had this phone for a few hours but these vids helped ALOT

[omairanjum]

I tried updating my JM1 to JPM using this method, however ODIN failed. There was no progress bar on my phone. I waited for quite a bit, then I unplugged and restarted. When teh phone started, it wouldnt recognize my SIM card, so I reset my phone and restarted. Now everything force closes on startup and I can't use my phone. I;m freaking out, PLEASE HELP :((

[Tobloenn]

I was told to use the 512 PIT, is that true for a 2.1 ROM?

Also, do I need a CSC that is the same as the one the phone came with?

Thanks

[waqarr]

i tried 4 times with odin but that blue bar does'nt go more than 2-3%...dont know what to do..can any one help?

[dclobato]

Worked like a charm on mine! Thanks a lot!

[razorsbk]

thanks man. VERY GOOD quality.

[config2000]

Just updated mine. Thanks. Nice tutorial!

However, I had to use the *.pit file supplied with the firmware set and not the **513.pit version supplied with Odin

I initially got a blank screen on reboot after the Samsung logo finished

My firmware is now JG5 (up from JF3)

Equally, I have also ran Ryans APK lag fix and the phone is flying now!

Quadrant scores are through the roof (2139)

[coolandmellow]

Which firmware from UK has the factory unlocked default Galaxy S firmware pls anyone?I mean any carrier and European languages.

[ziman88]

thanks this vid helped a lot!

[Xyngular]

thanks for the tremendous help dude! i'm a new android user :D just flashed samset over :D 

[Xyngular]

okay it's going blue now... hope it works lol. please do not brick ):

[pacorredor90]

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE

[atom069]

Hey why is the USB connection still in Russian dude hah does that not change or what

[Zawadzke]

I was able to flash this to the Captivate but the screen is always set 90 degrees off; ie When I hold the phone vertically it sets itself in landscape mode. I don't know what that's all about.

You may be able to flash the PIT and stock captivate kernal over it and fix it, but I haven't persoonally tried it yet.

Any one able to get this to work on the captivate?

[nasdreas]

im gonna buy this mobile to

If i have the galaxy s should i immediately flash the firmware or not?

and where can you see the firmware version the phone?

[aeo087]

@nasdreas Well you can wait for samsung to make an official release, which should be coming soon, or you can flash the beta firmwares that are in the samsung-firmwares website. I am currently running JM2 and it's great, it has some nice new features including a very handy task manager.

[UFBvoodoochild]

@nasdreas should you immediately flash the phone, not really neccessary, personally i would wait until it is officially released. lets face it the samsung i8910, NEEDED a flash update, it got so laggy. The thing you need to remember that the firmware is a BETA, so any small annoyances and such wont be ironed out yet and the firmware wont be spot on despite the handful of improvements it may present.

[sanjayschulz]

One question: I'm getting the samsung Captivate (ATT version of the galaxy s) and wanted to know if I can just install the same rom onto that phone? The reason is this: When you get the captivate you are required to sign up for one of the new data plans which are not unlimited anymore. I was hoping I could "mask" the phone by installing the galaxy s firmware on it so I can then get the unlimited data plan since ATT won't recognize this as the samsung captivate/smartphone anymore. Thanks!!!

[aeo087]

@sanjayschulz I'm not sure about the captivate. I've read it can be rooted in the same way as the international Galaxy S... I suggest you go to the xda-developers forum and check the section for the Captivate, you'll find more information there.

[rudi93600898]

@aeo087 Admire the effort of making a great tutorial. I'm curious about the new XWJG5 FW. First of all... have you tried it, if you did how much faster is it from the last update you are using and is the stall fix needed (fixed in the JG5) after JG5 flash? On some forums they say that the memory management has been fixed with this update. Is that true? Thanks!

[aeo087]

@rudi93600898 JG5 seems very promising, I flashed it a couple of days ago. So far i'm running it stock and have yet to see any blank screens or noticeable lags; I've only installed a couple of apps so far though... The change-log says they improved standby battery life and improved memory management. There's a new stall fix that greatly improves the phone's I/O, i'll be trying that as soon as I get my new SD card. I'll try to make a video tutorial when I'm successful.

[fallingup79]

I have the Samsung Vibrant. How can I get the the bootloader screen?

[aeo087]

@fallingup79 I unfortunately don't know much about the vibrant, but xda-developers opened up a section for it in their forums. That'll be your best bet to find more information.

[Ibustcherries]

@fallingup79 Hold volume up and volume down while pressing the power button... It doesn't always work on the first try but keep doing it. It took me about 6 tries. Just pull the battery when it boots to the tmobile screen

[giantcandy]

@fallingup79 if you can get to adb, you can just do "adb reboot download" but make sure it's on com7, i think it's the most important...mine was on com4 and it wouldn't flash and was stuck on "do not turn of your target" message....then i bricked it..and can't get to the download mode... :(

[lordzebdeh]

PHEW!!!! FAILED TWICE BUT GOT IT TO WORK IN THE END

[lordzebdeh]

mines bricked FUCK

[aeo087]

@lordzebdeh are you sure? as long as you can boot to the downloader (yellow screen) you should be able to save your phone...

[UFBvoodoochild]

@aeo087 no, as with flashing any phone, if done incorrectly or something goes wrong, you will be left with a shiney black brick, i'm sorry to say.

[giantcandy]

@lordzebdeh mine too...and the usa version can't get to download mode from brick....so no retryin to flash it....no home button to get intow download mode... :( unless i can find a way to get it into dl mode

[totkrieg]

Scratch that, now my phone won't connect to tmobile...

[totkrieg]

Thanks for the videos... now I am off to do MCR R2... this made me feel much more comfortable (at least when it was my g1 I knew I was going to get a new phone soon, but now that it was brand new it had me scared all over again)

[tmcstewart2009]

God bless man.  Great video. Just updated to the I9000XWJG3 firmware and it definitely feels a lot smoother to operate.

[FrezoreR]

People always take about someone bricking their phone. Do you have any link to someone who has? because I've never seen anything about anybody managing to do so.

[edinho0808]

but what is more safe? use re partition or dont use?

[flotars]

@edinho0808

This is my question to

[edinho0808]

nice video man!! im new in android smartphones i have few questions too =P

i have dxj4 ( asian firm)

can i flash european firm? ( newest firm?)

and when im flashing i need mark Re-partion? or no? what more safe? marked or unmarked?

thanks!!

[aeo087]

@edinho0808 That's the firmware mine came with. You can flash european firmwares, but you will lose the Asian languages and get the European languages. I usually re-partition if I'm flashing a new or different firmware from the one I currently have, if I'm flashing the same firmware, I don't....

[Geekchimp]

m new to android and i have few question .

What is advantage of flashing this new firmware [ie do to get su]

after flashing this firmware will i get updates directly from samsung or else i need to flash the update firmware similarly?

If i need to go back to original firmware where can i get glalaxy s stock image?

[MrLovepeace2009]

Thanks a lot for tutorial .can we get htc desire ROM on it,coz i like htc sense much .

do you have voice to text feature in it???

[siclusiferx]

great video dude .. would i need to flash my phone ?? and with wat would it help .. and does installing roms done in the same way .. thanks alot ..thuimbs up ..

[aeo087]

@siclusiferx I have another video on installing a rom. The only reason you should update to the JG1 firmware would be to install Modaco's MCR r2 rom, or because you want to get rid of the software your carrier put on your phone and just have what samsung included. When I have time I'll make a video on the advantages to upgrading firmware, rooting, and installing custom roms.

[siclusiferx]

@aeo087 ohhh mannnnnnn thanx alot for the reply ..well i guess i hav to read more and more .. thanx alot again and it would be much appreciated to see such a video .. cheers

[ObliviA007]

Nice video..

What other languages are also available? I need Dutch

Thnx

[aeo087]

@ObliviA007 This firmware contains many languagues, it is set to russian by default but it should adjust to Dutch when you insert your simcard.

[god4488]

@aeo087 maybe some1 already ask, however does it mean you can Flash a HTC Firmware for example? Or just the HTC sense UI which looks better ^_^ ?

[vradovic]

can you install paid application with this firmware?

[aeo087]

@vradovic yes, you can install paid apps in this firmware.  Look at my other video regarding issues with the firmware.

[TravUK]

Great videos, thanks for taking the time to show this. Pretty straight forward, but so much easier to follow from a video.

[zaffe93]

when i buy the phone, can i update to the latest firmware? or do i need to use oldest? 

[aeo087]

@zaffe93 You can update to the latest one. In my case I got the phone from Singapore and it had JF4 with a lot of unwanted software from the carrier... I flashed JFB and it removed all those unwanted apps and logos, leaving me with only the stuff Samsung included in their original firmware and also noticeably improving the performance of the phone...

[juztin888]

@aeo087 Hi, I have a Korean version of Galaxy S...the details are:

MODEL #: SHW-M110S

At 1st, i was able to root my phone successfully, used superuser and BusyBox from my previous firmware. Everything was going well until i upgraded it through Kies. and my phone ws unrooted. have u rooted this kind?

[juztin888]

Respond to this video... awsome video...i hope you can give some korean firmware a try which there are a lot of units out there with my problem regarding flashing rooting...
