n00b questions - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Hi all,
I'm new to the Android world.
This morning I received my i9000 device and already in love with it!
I'm on firmware: I9000XXJF3
On the Samsung Firmwares site I saw a lot of different firmwares.
What firmware would be best for my i9000 (8gb EU model on T-Mobile Netherlands)?
If there is a better firmware, why should I upgrade? Or is better to wait for Froyo?
To change firmware do I need to root the device?
I also read stuff about recovery kernel, do I need to do that first?
Also do I need Odin or do I need another app for firmware upgrading?
What lag fix app do I need?
A lot of n00b question... But I hope someone can help me out.
Tnx!

Hey,
JF3 is the latest official Firmware for your device.
All other firmwares which you saw on the website are leaked firmwares, means they are not officialy released by samsung.
There are already leaked froyo firmwares, but jit is broken and they are more or less in alpha stage, so i wouldn't update to froyo atm. If you want froyo, you should wait for the official release in september.
I recommand JM2, its the most responsive and smooth firmware, in my opinion. JM5 is also very good. but keep in mind, they're both leaked.
To flash a new firmware you need odin, there is a tutorial, just check the stickies in this section.
You dont have to root your device to flash, but if you still want to, there is also a tutorial.

no its not, JF stands for 2010 June
M is not a official code for a month.
JF = Year (J) / Month (F) , Release-Date of Firmware
Year of Release:
A = 2001
B = 2002
C = 2003
D = 2004
E = 2005
F = 2006
G = 2007
H = 2008
I = 2009
J = 2010
Month of Release:
A = January
B = February
C = March
D = April
E = May
F = June
G = July
H = August
I = September
J = October
K = November
L = December
So if you have M-Z as month code, its not a official release ^^
Hopefully i am right, if not correct me plz xD

The best firmware right now (but this is subjective) is JM5 if you ask me. It is not official.
You can wait for froyo but JM5 is a massive improvement to JF3 already.
You don't need to root to install firmware.
You don't need custom recovery kernel either .
Firmware upgrading is done in odin.
With JM2 or JM5 you don't really need a lagfix because the phone will be fast enough without. Otherwise both RyanZA and Chainfire's fixes are simple and effective.

Just read the FAQ PLEASE!

Thanks guys for all the answers!
It's a lot more clear to me now!!
Really appreciated. Going to flash JM2 or JM5 this weekend.
Btw does JM2 or JM5 contain the Dutch language? Also Swype in Dutch?
Cheers

before you flash anything make sure your 3 button combo is working properly

Thanks!
Just tried the 3 buttons and I got in recovery mode (when pressing volume up) and got in download mode (when pressing volume down).
I can see 4 options: reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
Also I see the Android with a yellow triangle.
What does the wipe cache partition do? Of course it wipes cache. ;-)
But what is the use of it?
Do I need to flash all 3 TAR files? (CODE, CSC, MODEM)
Code is probably the OS itself, Modem is radio rom but what is CSC?

Anyone?

Lezen?
wiping the cache partition can fix problems with some programs...

Or that more ppl have found out how to dump firmware... Anyway, good new wrt warranty.
I9000XXJF3 UK Galaxy S
Hi,
I've flashed a few ROMs on my SGS but I want to flash back to the stock firmware which I belive is I9000XXJF3....
Ive got the files but there's 2 'CSC' files..... CSC_19000SWCJF3 and CSC_19000SOXAJF3 but does anyone know which one applies to UK Handsets ? or doesnt it matter? and if it doesn't whats the difference?
Cheers in advance
I believe OXA is default - but if you are trying to get stock so you can get the official JM1 over Kies, I've just tried it and no success. Will give the SWC a go, expecting nothing, then have to goto JM1/2 over Odin instead.
EDIT: Yup, SWC = Swisscom!
Im just gonna flash it now so will see how it goes.....
My phone has JG9 firmware.. that looks like it's newer than anything there.
I checked mine when stock before flashing and it def was JF3...
a few questions though...
can anyone tell me what 'code/lettering' id expect to see for a UK CSC file ??
can can I mix a CSC from another firmware?
What relevance does any of this make as i've flashed JM5 from the samsung firmware site and they have all worked...even though it booted up in Russian
NB - Just flashed JF3/OXA and cannot update JM1 via Kies...just get.....
'Device's version cannot be updated'
So I guess Im screwed !
i too hace this problem, tried almost every firmware flash just to be able to get official update, even on stock o2 jf1 firmware its a no go..
im in uk here also...
let me know if you have any luck..
Maybe if someone can explain the naming convention for country/provider on the csc codes ill try mixing and macthing from other ROMs...
Hi
I've tried to update my phone via Samsung Kies but no luck
First off all Kies doesn't identify the phone firmware and after that it say that i have the last update. (i don't have 10 posts so cannot link the screen shot with kies)
My phone is GT-I9000, Eclair I9000XXJF3
I need to update because i have problems with Skype(doesn't work at all) and Internet connection(only after i reboot the phone is working).

Hi,
you'll find here in this thread at the bottom of the second Post the latest Firmwares for ODIN or CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388342.
Better use ODIN to flash the JW8, it's the latest one from Samsung.
After that you can decide if you want to flasha kernel with root and a Custom rom.

Firmware Chaos

Hi there!
I am a bit overwhelmed by the strange release order on samsung-firmware.com of the last "inofficial" (whatever) releases of the european i9000 firmware. Theres a JM1, a JM1 NEW, a JM2 and JM5. To make chaos complete Kies is offering me a JM1 as well, when entering test mode. What kind of JM1 would that be? The old one, the new one, or a total different one? I followed all the threats losely over the past month, but somehow lost track. A short guide is very much appreciated. Or, to put it bluntly, what F/W should I flash regarding stability, speed and gps? Or, just what the heck is the right order?
Thanks in advance,
Chicken
The JM1 New is the Version from Kies, so if you worry about warranty issues, you always should use KIES updates.
I don't know if there is a difference between JM1 and JM1 NEW.
I would recommend JM5. Stable, fast and everything works as it should.
I'd also recommend to flash the Samset rom after flashing JM5 and then the latest Lagfix. Your phone will be flying!
Well.. are you sure about that? Because I got JM2 from Kies, and it's different than the JM2 from samsung-firmwares.com...
I'm using DDJG4 and it works perfect and even better with lag fix and evo gps fix
JPJG8 is the best version I used so far! It also does not have the contact FC bug!
I bought my Galaxy S in Germany end of June
I got JF3 as Stock Fimrware
I Updated to JM1 over Kies
as i heard JM2 over Kies is only for branded SGS.
All other Fimrware Versions are from Samsung but not officially released (over Kies),
They are leaked Developer or Beta Versions.
The JM1 from Kies is diiferent to that previously leaked one from samsung-fimrwares.
So in th officially sight there is no chaos(for the firmwares).

Christopher
Im on XXJF4 PDA XXJF3 Phone and TMUJE6 CSC on an unbranded and unlocked SGS and when i plug into Kies it tells me that i cant update my current version. I have tried other firmwares for samsung-firmwares and it still tells me i cant update. Does this device need to be put into a procific mode to update though Kies or is the no update for UK?

Yes, I got JM2 from Kies, but with Kies in test-mode. I didn't even have to set up my APN again, it included Telenor

Great! When?
Unbranded SGS?
Unbranded SGS yes. Flashed it a couple of days ago.
BTW! This is the firmware info:
PDA: I9000XWJM2
Phone: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000XEEJM1
To determine the LATEST firmware look at the last three letters/numbers.
Assume they are in base 36 and then look which has a higher value.
All good?

I couldn't get any update running in "normal" mode.
This makes me rage...
I also have an unbranded SGS (Bought from Komplett), and Kies won't give me an update in test mode or normal mode. I really want this new - official - firmware.
Maybe I need an older version of Kies...
The "leaked" firmwares aren't beta or test firmwares necessarily (except the Froyo firmwares) - they're merely service centre firmwares. Samsung releases many firmwares, some of which have different firmware versions, but which may essentially all be the same, to their service centres but never makes them available for users to download.
To my knowledge, there is NO "official" UK update yet (via Kies). However, if you take your phone to a service centre, they may well flash it with a newer firmware than the one you have.
----------------------
When dealing with firmwares it is very important to remember that one firmware release (one code branch) may contain 20 or 30 or more actual firmwares. This is because of network / operator branding and language files. This is why the firmwares we're seeing for the Galaxy are XXJM5, JGJM8 etc.
Samsung firmware versioning works like this:
Firmware version i9000XXJM5 means:
i9000 = Phone model
XX = Country / region (XX is generic Europe 1)
J = Year of build / release
M = Month of build / release
5 = Consecutive number (so 5th build of the JM branch)
...what is interesting is that Samsung are using month codes which are over the 12th letter in the alphabet (which is L) - this usually means the firmware is a test / beta firmware, but the fact that JM2 is available to the public via Kies counters this.
When you take all these things into account, it becomes obvious that the JG and JM builds are all essentially the same, but just with different localisations / customisations for the languages / regions / networks they were originally intended for.
I should also add that any one "firmware" is made up of three elements; the PDA (phone code), CSC (branding / localisation / applications) & modem (baseband) code. That's why you will sometimes see different version numbers for each specific part of a firmware, within the one "whole" firmware version.

Hi friend.......
First thing is....you are not bricked!!!!
Second thing....this has happened to almost everyone here.......
Third thing......I think I can solve for you.......
Can you go to here, my thread for my own semi-brick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20687063&postcount=233
It has links for ROM, 2.3.6. [Oh...Oh...dead link]
[I see andy post different link, use that for ODIN flashable package....it's prob I8150XXKK1_I8150OXXKJ6_I8150XXKK1_HOME.tar.md5]
Flash as One Package, Check One Package/Auto Reboot/Protect OPS
You got ODIN, right, and ancora.ops......if not, let us know.
BTW, this is not Romanian ROM. It is Multi-CSC, English OK, no branding from Local Carrier.....in CSC OXX means Multi-CSC, so it's OK and safe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032
Here is the description of CSC´s (included country variants):
DBT (Germany specific)
OXA *Multi CSC* (for France, Germany, Italy, Poland, UK, UK & Ireland)
OXE *Multi CSC* (for Baltic, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine)
OXX *Multi CSC* (for Austria, Baltic, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland)

KK1 means 2011-11-v1........
Best of luck

CSC = Customer Sales Code or Consumer Software Customisation??
In Phone/PDA:

KK1 means Year 2011 Month November Revision 1

File says XEU.......generic, unbranded UK.......it seems OK!!! on first look.....
But: I8150XXLA2_OXXKL4_XEU_Android_2.3.6.zip
XXLA2....means Phone/PDA F/W
XX Region is Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and
LA2....means Year 2012, Month Jan, Revision 2
OXXKL4........CSC values are ambiguous???
OXX...........means OXX means unbranded Multi-CSC, which supports many Euro Languages
KL4....means Year 2011, Month November, Revision 4
Which is all OK......
But then there is the XEU....does this refer to CSC also???
As I said, XEU.......generic, unbranded UK CSC.....so, two CSC values.....
But, I think it's just academic, it should not matter!!!
AS for Messages not being sent, you set up the APN's for your provider???
Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Access Point Names.....maybe important
Who is that, O2, Voda, Tesco????
May be important, as I don't think all Irish Providers are included in the generic CSC xml files, like customer.xml, thers.xml, etc......
Im with meteor. Checked there and few of the settings seem to be different also few more on the phone that are not listed on the website, so going to give them a ring. Flashing the new rom as i type so see if that has any effect

Would there be any speed and battery improvement from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 ?

Noob question: Can Odin change my German branded SM-G988B/DS to Nordic firmware?

Hello,
I am completely new to changing firmware using Odin, and I want to make sure, that I don't brick my phone
I have bought a S20 Ultra 512GB 5GB DS (Exynos), but it seems to be a German firmware, as it comes with Deutche Telekom apps preinstalled, two of which can't be uninstalled, and Samsung Members speak German instead of Danish.
My biggest issue, though, is that the latest OTA security update is May 1st.
Base band version: G988BXXU2ATE3
SAOMC_SM-G988B_OXM_DTM_QQ_0006
I found this: (can't post links on XDA yet):
samfw -> firmware- > SM-G988B -> NEE -> G988BXXU2ATF5
Which is for the scandinavian countries. (Nordic)
Changelist 18862671
Build date Mon, 08 Jun 2020 06:59:35 +0000
Security Patch Level 2020-06-01
Product code NEE
PDA G988BXXU2ATF5
CSC G988BOXM2ATF5
The questions:
Can I apply that to my phone, or will it brick the phone?
Will it get regular OTA updates for the nordic variant afterwards?
How much user data will be retained after firmware update?
Thank you so much for your assistance to a complete newbie
If you want to change it you will need to use Samkey (paid).

Oh, okay
That's another new thing for me to get into...
I will read up on it and get back with more questions
But can I ask already:
Which of these procedures (samkey and Odin), if any, will break warranty?

It doesn't break warranty :good:
Hi again,
Sorry to be of bother...
I succesfully switched the CSC of the OXM firmware from DTM to NEE.
Now Service Provider Software Version is: SAOMC_SM-G988B_OXM_NEE_QQ0009
NEE/NEE,NEE/EUX/DTM
I know for sure, that the NEE models (though 128GB version) has received the One UI 3/Android 11 update.
But it is not offered as an OTA update to me.
I have rebooted twice, but still no OTA update.
I'm still stuck at an update from September/October.
Is it because mine is a 512GB version of S20 Ultra, while the rest of the NEE versions are 128GB?
Or is it because it still reads DTM at the end of ...NEE/EUX/DTM?
