How to update Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 to Gingerbread XXJVQ 2.3.4 Firmware
Last time when we saw on how you can update your Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 with the latest XXJVP 2.3.4 Gingerbread release, most of the users were more than happy to update with the same but later some of the users faced many issues after installing some of the applications as many users faced force close errors. So, for all the users who are facing this issues, we will see on how you can update with an all new Gingerbread 2.3 release in the due course of this article.
The version which is leaked recently is the leak version and not the official KIES 2 release. But updating with this version of Gingerbread 2.3.4 that is XXJVQ 2.3.4, the warranty will not be voided. Though there is no time line given by Samsung on the arrival of the official version of Gingerbread 2.3.4 release, you can expect the same in the coming months and not if not any time soon then we are there any time to give you all the latest updates for your phone even before Samsung comes forward with the Gingerbread 2.3.4 or even the future releases of Android versions.

Hi Neal,
thanks for the great guide. i Just updated it.
But am facing an issue with USB tethering.
When i connect usb and turn on tethering, after few seconds the connection terminates.
I was facing the exact issue in XXJVP as well.
Can u please tell me how to over come this.
Shreenidhi
have you cleared the cache?
Yes. Flashed the binary, rebooted in recovery mode cleared data/cache.
Followed all standard procedures.
Can it be fixed by flashing a custom kernel??? I assume the problem is with one of the drivers….????
I think all galaxy S phones on 2.3.4 are facing this issue.
Shreenidhi
custom kernels are highly unstable!
Thanks Neal,
Can we install Voodoo lag fix on this fw as well?
I am talking about the one you posted for XXJVP
yes
yes…possible….
Well, you asked the question, I didn’t wait, just installed voodoo which was posted for XXJVP. working like a charm. go ahead.
Just installed.
Superfast with superuser rights …………..
getting average quadrant scores of 2250.
Guess sgs 2 has to wait a little longer
Dear Neal Brother…. Hope u r well….and again thanx for this article [XXJVQ]…
I update my Galaxy I9000 to XXJVP from by following ur article and Stuffs [XXJVP 2.3.4 provided by you] on 21 June, 2011. Hope you know that. And I face no major problem at all.
Dear brother can you plz explain what is the basic difference between GINGERBREAD XXJVP and XXJVQ?
I found ur this article through my mail few mins ago and I am again interested on this Firmware XXJVQ.
So dear Big brother Neal plz tell me is there any difference between XXJVP and XXJVQ ?
there are some minor changes which can’t be listed here! We are really sorry for it!
Thank you Brother for reply.
hi neal, can we root this version the same way we`ve rooted XXJVP?
Hey buddy, we have already come up with the article, kindly visit the site to find the article!
I just installed this but very dissatisfied!! It sluggish hen entering/exiting application, same thing with scrolling.
Well, “Be dammed with reality” scores a quadrant score of 1403???!!!
In any case back to JVP which is much smoother and faster, with a lower quadrant score.
Ps, i did clear cache, and wipe data. I am on bell Canada with a GT-I9000M
Hi Neal, Please let me know does this XXJVP 2.3.4 arabic enabled or not. pls confirm. Thanks
its not an arabic version, but be rest assured as once it arrives we will surely update with the same!
If problem goes with the flashing, how can i restore the old version of OS in galaxy s i9000?
which version you wish to go on?
Hi Neal,
After I upgraded, my SGS was not able to detect my SIM card. When I tried my SIM card to other phone, it worked. I have disabled voodoo lagfix before I upgraded the software.
What went wrong?
Kindly help. Thank you.
reflash your phone!
Hi Neal
The last time I tried to update with this software I ended up with Android version 2.2, Baseband version I9000XXJP2; Kernel Version 206.329 root@sep 52#1 and Build number GT-I9000-eng 2.2 MASTER 332 TEST-KEYS.332.
How come is that possible whilst i was following step-by-step instruction
just refollow the instructions to update the correct version again!
hello Neal, Thanks for the update.. in the above post you have mentioned that ” All the users across the World can proceed and update their phones but the only thing you will have to ensure is that the phone is not locked with any sorts of network or else it will lock the handset after the update.”
I am currently in France and my phone is locked with a network Provider named SFR. My Android version is 2.2 and I want to get on 2.3.4. How can I do it? Your help will be appreciated it.
Regards,
Nick.
you can proceed for the update!
hi neal,
gr8 job. flashed yesterday but i’ve been experiencing force close and mobile network loss. can it be fixed?
NETWORK LOSS cant be blamed for firmware!
Dear brother Neal… my I9000 is currently running on XXJVP [which is provided by You].
Actually I want to know is it necessary to update my phone to XXJVQ and also plz tell me what is the differnece between XXJVP and XXJVQ. Is XXJVQ provide me any extra facility…. plz let me know brother.
Thanx in advance.
if its working alright then leave it, but if you are facing any issues regarding the force close errors then you can flash XXJVQ!
Ok Bother…….. thank u.
I have successfully upgraded to 2.3.4 from Froyo 2.2 and so far I have not experienced any problem though my 3 button combo which I had fixed has dissapeared so I have not managed to do cache clearance.
So far I have noted a greatly improved speed. Thanks a million for the tutorial and download
thanks for your appreciation Jimmy!
Hi Neal
How to Root Galaxy S on Android 2.3.4 XXJVQ Firmware?
Soon we will come out with the article for the same! Stay tuned!
http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-android-234-xxjvq-firmware/4/
I have successfully rooted just today
Hi I updated and everything looks fine. I ran the quandrant standard, my score is now only 1350. It was above 1800 before. What does this mean.
Hi Paddy
I have never seen a score of 1800 in my SGS, Please let me know too which version did u do the test…
It was 1800 in which version?
Was it with voodoo lagfix??? If so, you will have to wait for the lag fix to arrive for this version mate!!! voodoo improves the performance of your phone…
voodoo lagfix needs to be separately installed or flashed!
I switch back to XXJVP because i think it’s better than XXJVQ
Why brother…. did you face any major problem in XXJVQ ??? Please share with us.
there are no issues which ar ereported!
How do you switch back to an older version firmware?
Please brother Roderick or Neal do guide me. Thanks.
Just connect your fone to the computer and make sure that you stiil have the older version firmware, the procedure is still the same.
Ok fine thanks alot bro, just wanted to make sure that if it is possible and it won’t do any harm to my Galaxy S if I flash an older version on a newer one through the same procedure? Thanks
don’t worry it won’t harm at any point of time!
How do we switch back to an older firmware, brother Roderick or Neal please do tell me. Thanks.
to which version you want to go back to?
Hi just upgraded to gingerbread 2.3.4 and everything is working great and a lot faster, this is the first time i have ever upgraded a phone thanks for the fantastic intructions, the only thing i had to do to make it work was tick the re-partition,if i did not it got stuck on file analysis(does not metiont this on the detailed instructions, Cheers
ticking or not ticking the repartition doesn’t matter in this case as its a 3 file firmware!
Neal,
It was a very detailed tutorial, I have been reading your blog for a while now. Proves to be very useful for someone like me who is new in the world of Android. I am not new in flashing firmware though but before I jump the boat, I have a question.
Currently I have DDJV6 which is the latest Indian firmware for Galaxy S in Kies 2. My question is what do I gain from flashing this version of firmware? If you could point me to a release note or something then it will be great!
Keep up the good work!
since these versions are the leaked ones, giving you the exact details or the notes will be difficult!
Any major improvements though?
I believe in the philosophy of “Don’t fix it unless it’s broken!”.
@Krishnau in my personal experience this new 2.3.4 XXJVQ version gives you better browser, more smoother then previous versions, though I have never tried DDJV6 as I am in Australia and here still 2.2.1 is official version. Apart from browser GPS is incredible, navigation is just what you want, google map turns when you turn.
Still you cant make video calling but via skype you can make video call (samsung only) if you use patched application as original skype application dosen’t support all android devices yet.
Regmi, thanks so much for your reply!
Yeah, I could use a better GPS fix time!
Just one more q
Is this rom deodexed already?
its odex version
Do you know where one would be able to get the deodexed version? I’d like to install some themes on this. Cheers.
its an odex version and there is no deodex version as of now!
3 days into this update and I absolutely love it. I fixed the 3 button combo and now my phone can get to download and Recovery modes and all else is fine with no noticeable lag like I was used to with Froyo 2.2. However on connecting with KIES it tells me that “This version cannot be updated” and gives me the current firmware version as DDA:JVQ/ PHONE:JVQ/ CSC:/JVQ (KOR). Does this mean KIES will never update this phone again. Also, does (KOR) mean that this firmware is the Korean one or what?
this is not the korean update.
Hi,
unfortunately I was unable to connect the galaxy with the PC, in Download mode.
Simply it does not recognize the USB device, and therefor the ODIN does not react
What could it be???
Thnx
have you updated the KIES version and also have you cleared the cache?
My friend also had the same problem with 2.1. when tried to connect to pc device driver were missing and couldn’t connect, we were unable to install drivers. he had to go to the samsung store to repair. And he got repaired under warranty.
Hi
i could not find the link of XXJVQ can you let me know from where i can download this firmware??
the download link is there in the article!
Hi,
Thank you for the nice tutorial. I followed all the steps with my GT-I9000B, but my touch screen don’t work after the update. All other buttons are working, but the screen simply don’t respond to touch, gestures, etc. What it could be?
Thanks.
just clear the cache and re flash the firmware, all issues will be sorted out!
Hi Neal, I succeeded to upgrade to version 2.3.4., but it gives an error at speed dialing. It says USSD code running…and then an error message “unknown application”. Do you have any idea how to repair this? Thanks.
its an operator issue! Check with your operator as operator is responsible for all USSD services!
This firmware has major bug….I installed and when i push home button from stand-by the phone did not respond.I reinsert the battery and start.Two times the same bug. For moment return to 2.3.3. I’m not single guy with this major bug…
its not a bug, just re update the phone, all will be well
Hi,
I succeeded to upgrade my SGS GTi9000 to XXJVQ 2.3.4 with vodoo lagfix (Gingerbread-GT-I9000-XXJVP-stock-kernel+hacks),from XXJVH 2.3.3 with CWM, Ficeto ,Darky rom v10.1,successfully.
Works very well ,no lag and get over 2000 in Quadrant and the battery held today at 100%, 8am to 9pm at 19% with wireless and data on the GSM and WCDMA not.
The phone network is encoded in Vodafone.
I am very pleased with the first day.
Thanks Neal .
Keep up the good work.
thanks for the appreciation!
I love this tutorial but could you please make a rooting tutorial for JVQ like the one you did for JVP? That would be awesome!
we will try our level best in the next version of fw
Hi Neal, I also have a question. Pretty small one I think. You stated not to do this if locked to a network. I’m in Canada on the Bell network, using a SIM card. Does this mean that I should do this update?
I meant to say, does this mean I should NOT do this update?
go ahead you can update for your phone! We recommend!
can you use any other sim card in your phone?
I’ll have to check, I don’t know at the moment.
The “force close” error still persists but it is much better than the XXJVP version. The “force close” error just pops up after I end a call and try to quickly go to the home screen by pressing the back button. I loved the speed XXJVP generated with Voodoo but the “force close” problem was too irritating. I hope there comes a Voodoo lagfix for this version soon… For people who are on XXJVP and face the irritating “force close” problems, you can wipe the cache partition and reduce the problem temporarily… 2.3.4 has a long way to go before it comes close to perfect…
Anybody who is facing problems when opening the compass application??? Mine works 50% of the time and the rest it is just a blank screen and it just wont open
Didn’t have this problem in FROYO…
My phone is so MOODY
Sri Lanka
kindly clear the cache before u proceed to use your phone!
Hi Imran

Exactly, I am using the Super Compass app too.. So it must be something to do with the app… What compass app are you using mate??
Hi Neal , is this the latest version available as of now for galaxy s ?
yes this is the latest version!
Hi
Is this one has Persian or Arabic Language (fonts) support.
no it doesn’t support the Arabic or Persian language as of now!
Dear neal

please i need to know what should i do …. .
thx

Cool, tq tq tq
Thanks a lot Neal. Its working perfectly.
[Download has failed twice but third time it has downloaded and restarted with Gingerbread]
Hi Neal,
I am in Ireland and my Galaxy S is locked to Vodafone. Can I update or should I wait for the official Kies gingerbread update?
Thanks,
Brendan
hey brendan we have come up with an article for you, the vodafone specific, refer http://www.androidadvices.com
dear neal,
i update my phone through your guide but it will restarts automatically after 15-20 hours. i am facing this problem with all the firmware i have used like xxjvp,ddjv6
please suggest me any firmware or tips or tricks which stops such auto reboot.
thanks waiting for ur rply
in froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY is the best and in Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJVP and XXJVQ are good versions!
thanks for your rply
i just want to know you all facing the same auto restart problem or mine is faulty one?
was this issue there earlier or has arrived after you have updated your phone?
it has from the day i purchase it. and one of my friend also having the same issue.
Have you tried using a fresh copy of Gingerbread without installing any apps on your phone for about 2 days??? Try to figure out if there is a problem with the apps you are using or if its the OS… Check your battery too because some batteries when they go less than 20% in energy, they play havoc which means the battery needs to be replaces soon…
Sri Lanka
Hi Neal,
Thanks ! and we really appreciate all the worked that youve done.
I recently update my phone to XXJVP and great improvement specially battery issue, so far no problem found, although i face a problem during update because i was stuck in the middle of the process, but after reading comments, i disable my anti-virus and close KIES under task manager and after everything went smooth.
Q ?
Should i go for updating to XXJVQ ?
Should i install Voodoo Lagfix to improve performance?
After installing the XXJVQ you will not feel the need to install any lagfixes! Let us know for any more help!
is it normal for the file analysis to take so long in start of odin?
yes its normal
I switch to XXJVQ but i cant use my mobile network. Please help
it can’t read any sim card and can’t access mobile network.
just reflash the process!
its ok now. thanks sir neal.

Hi Neal,
Wanted to know if this update is region specific? I am in Africa, the southern part, and would like to update my Galaxy to the gingerbread firmware (XXJVQ). I have only recently started to read up about this so i would just like to confirm wether it would be a problem
Thanx a mil!
no, this update is not the regional specific, its for all!
i updated my phone. flashed it and cleared the cache. However, at first everything was okay until i suddenly cant send SMS but i can still call. HELP

Hi Neal.. I have downloaded both XXJVP(with Vodoo lag fix) and also XXJVQ firmwares.. Which one do u suggest me to update? Pls help
thanks a ton!!!
you can go with any version, all are equally good versions!
why is there no download link for the 2.3.4 xxjvq??
nevermind, found it
the download link is very well there in the procedure!
hi there,
I am trying to apply voodoo lagfix to this version and my phone is stuck now
it shows on odln
Added!!
Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
File analysis..
Get PIT for mapping..
Firmware update start..
boot.bin
Please help
you can pull off the battery and can try the process again. If your phone refuses to start then update with the XXJVQ Firmware first and then proceed for the update again!
hi Neal, there are a number of cool apps that came with the phone, however im unable to locate where they are in the phone and the backup app im using only allows .apk apps to be backed up of which none of the ones I refer to are included. I would assume that installing this FW will remove these a
.pps.(ie calandar, FM radio, Navigon etc)
If this is the case, could you suggest how I go about saving these .
George
yes all issues will be solved after updating with this version!
so does that mean that these “apps”/widgets will still be there or will they be gone ??
widgets / apps will be erased after the update, the stock ones will remain!
Hi Neal
I recently upgraded to XXJVQ and a week later rooted my phone successfully as per your detailed and well presented instructions for both procedures. However, after rooting it, I am experiencing intermittent force closures while trying to make calls using the key pad and/or through Call logs. I have wiped the cache severally but the issue persists. Though it is not a big problem as such, since I still manage to make the calls after retrying, a bug certainly exists and I am wondering if my case is a unique one and if re flashing XXJVQ again and then Rooting the phone will solve this problem. Thanks for all of your good work
have yo cleared the cache?
I too had the same problem since I got into 2.3.4 firmwares. You cannot get rid of the FC Errors and I got them while I end a call. The FC Errors might come on certain applications like the new market place and foursquare but it depends among users but the most common problem was the dialer. Do not try to re flash because it will bring you back to square 1 and the problem would still exist. The best option is to go for an official update like 2.3.3 DDJV9 and so far I have not come across any FC Errors. 2.3.4 is only a beta version and it has heavy bugfix to go through, lets wait till it gets official because the FC Errors can sometimes get on your nerves… Good Luck..
@Imran, thanks for your thoughts. However, after the FC’s I was experiencing became more frequent. I decided to re-flash with the 2.3.4, which as you rightly observe is tedious since you have to go through phone and applications setup afresh. I have not re-rooted yet and a week down the line, the FC’s are no more. I am considering my options on this ROOT thing. Being an average user on the tech side, I am weighing the options between, MY NEED FOR ROOT vs the RISK of having to RE-ROOT and the FC,s reappear, taking me back to square one
@Jimmy,
Keep me posted on the FC error on your device, what version of 2.3.4 are you on now? Just check if the super compass app works fine because on mine it just freezes half the time.
Thankx in advance budd…
@Imran, Since I Re-flashed I did not experience any more of the FC’s. However this upgrade bug has gripped me like most other Android and yesterday, Neil “unleashed” XXJVR to us which I have already flashed. My Initial comparisons does not show much difference between the XXJVQ and XXJVR though time will tell
Neal,
just for reconfirmation …
which firmware suites best on SGS GT i9000 ?
gingerbread
froyo
or
CyanogenMod
or is there any other?
Stock XXJVQ as of now!
Hi Neal,
I extracted the JJJVQ 2.3.4 file and I got three more zip files, named CODE,CSC and MODEM. Is it supposed to be like that?>
Nitin
yes! you just need to follow the instructions!
Hi,
The picture of the files extracted,on page 4, does not show any zip files, neither there is any mention of the zip files. It’s kind of confusing.
zip files are there, its in the procedure section!
Hi Neal. I’ve just updated my GT-I9000T to XWJVB following your instructions, actually transforming it to a GT-I9000 and It works great!. I rooted it following your instructions also. And unlocked it with the application called Galaxy S Unlock. I tested it with another SIM and I can make calls fine. Since I’m unlocked now, my question is can i update to XXJVQ following the procedure in this page?.
Thank you!
kindly clear the cache and also if problem persists you can re apply the update!
Hola Roberto,
really you confirme all you said, you unlock it too, and installed the firmware, but that’s fantastic ! because I was just thing about trow this GT-I9000T away !! I can not do nothing with it and even since I reset it I can’t download from the market !!
I was desperate. Please tell me the true: you can really install this XWJVB and make the damn T international ?
yes you can but are you talking of installing on I9000T?
Hi Neal, thanks to keep this post alive,
Yes I’m talking of installing xwjvb-2.3.3 on the GT-I9000T which is the Galaxy S you find in Mexico with Telcel on it but never used it (I live in Belize, just south, no telcel here but BTL). As Roberto said this firmware seems to solve all the problems but I’m not sure he’s got the same lock than me (here a post about this Well I don’t understand everything about PDA,CSC and else but… why xwjvb-2.3.3 is suppose to work on this specific galaxy S (the damn latin america) but the not the xxjvq-2.3.4 ??
Thank you for all
it works on all the I9000 pHONES, and this update is not the region specific update, so you can update from any where!
Hola Zed. si puedes hacerlo. incluso puedes actualizarte a esta xxjvq. ya yo lo hice. mi galaxy s i9000t lo compre bloqueado con movistar en venezuela. tambien vi que el que vende telcel en mexico se puede convertir a i9000. saludos!
ha bueno, muchissimas gracias ! voy a ver y regresar para decir.
But here
These firmwares are for International I9000 Galaxy S version, your device must be unlocked before flashing these firmwares.
*Don’t flash these firmwares on other devices. Any posts and Private Messages regarding flashing these firmwares on other devices will be ignored
Then I uderstand this update is ok after the GT-i9000T (Latin America for exemple) has been upload to XWJVB and then convert to a i9000 (international). That’s right ?
yes, we have said the same!
Hello Neal
i just upgraded from jvk to 2.3.4. im having an issue and was hoping u can help me. when i open the app market i see the apps but when i click to download them it just stays downloading and doesnt download. the internet does work. im msging u from my ph. please help… thanks Marj
go to manage applications and clear the data in the market app! and then re try downloading! Have you checked with the data connection? As sometimes ISP blocks the downloads and just allows surfing!
What will happen if the phone is provider locked? How can we go around it when updating with 2.3.4?
it will unlock the device and then warranty can’t be claimed!
Interestingly I’ve flash my vodafone locked SGS to XXJVQ but its still locked, even after rooting. ;p
hii.. i ve started d update process.. i ve crpss checked in entering the provided files in the odin. its been 20 minutes since d process started.. but its not proceeding from boot.in. PLs help
hi,
i followed your instructions,but i ticked the box for repartition,
i dont have any problem yet,
should i flsh this again with repartition unchecked or am i good?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
no no, its ok if working fine!
hi neal,
Thank you so much for this update, All your instructions are well detailed and very helpful, keep it up,
this firmware is really good, browser is smoother than in the JVP version,only bug noticed is the battery widgets is showing 98% charge as soon as its been disconnected from charging, its been the same for all gingerbread versions, no other bug noticed so far,
the voodoo version for JVP is working fine with this JVQ, phone is very smooth now, everyone can surely try it,
Thanks again..
Hi Neal
i followed all of your instruction but im facing problem
it keeps fail so i tried on higher version of odin which was 1.85
but it tell me Can’t open the serial(COM) port.
i got my SGS from vodafone australia, it is unlocked and version is
gingerbread 2.3.3 XWJVK
I think the version of odin you using is only for galasy s II
Hey Neal,
I had updated the 2.3.4 XXJVP with the voodoo lag fix that you had given earlier.
Is it ok to update with this new one cause i have been noticing these force close errors.
should i jus update with XXJVQ directly or do some thing to remove the voodoo lag fix and then unroot.
I have 2.3.3. installed on my sg s and is running very smooth. before that had 2.3.2, was crashing and force closing all the time…

my phone is bricked … how i can unlock it?
just re apply the update, things will be back on track!
my phone is bricked .. how i can unlock?
is it bricked on unlocked?
was bricked on the black screen of death … but i solved the problem
great to hear that your issue is now resolved!
Hi,
I recently update my phone to XXJVP and applied the voodoo lag fix. It seems the battery life shorten with voodoo lag fix.
1. Can i upgrade to XXJVQ directly or do i need to remove the lag fix first before installing the XXJVQ? if yes how do i remove the lagfix?
2. If i flash my SG with XXJVQ, do my lag fix ereased?
1. yes you can update,
2. yes lag will be comparatively reduced!
dont tick re partition?
Hey brother Neal can you please tell me if this firmware is for all I9000 Galaxy S like I9000, I9000M, I9000T or only for the I9000? Cos Ive got a I9000T and I see on many forums that many people have reported that Froyo or Gingerbread update is not possible on I9000T? Thankyou
this is Only available for I9000.
And neither I9000M? So what do I have to do to upgrade my I9000T to this version? If there is no way I can upgrade to this version then to which Ginferbread version can I upgrade my I9000T? Thanks
as soon as it comes for this device we will surely let you know!
Hi Neal,
Thanks for your expertise.
I am still unsure about proceeding. Can I upgrade Bell Canada Samsung Vibrant I9000M with
version DDJV9 (specifically to get Hindi Input and display with correct conjuncts) and can I root the device after?
Regards,
Mike
no this version won’t support Samsung Vibrant I9000M! no hindi keyboard is still not supported!
but the 2.3.3 here http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-to-stable-gingerbread-xwjvb-2-3-3-firmware/
seems ok on the 9000T is that right ?
yes
Hello Neal,
Its a great site, procedures explained in simple words.. and I can’t thank you enough.. upgraded to JVQ and applied vodoo and its great !
I ‘m having an issue though since I moved to gingerbread .. PBAP phone book access with bluetooth speaker phone systems like Jabra Cruiser don’t work properly any more,, like they wont call out names.. haven’t had that issue in froyo,, every gingerbread kernel or ROM I tried has this issue though.. Have you guys come across this issue and any clues ?
Thanks ones again .. !
Cheers !
thanks buddy for your kind words and appreciation, we look forward for your continued support!
BT is not working for me either. i need to resolve this issue though since i use a speakerphone with it and transfer small data to other devices with it.
Neal thank you very much’ i’d update it successfully to 2.3.4.
i would like to ask about the language, how could i install arabic language or other languages to the phone?? please help me.. thank you
as of now you cant install arabic but as soon as the arabic version comes, we will surely cover the same!
Ive done a few updates from your instructions. Great stuff. But on completion of JVQ i can not get the three button combo to get into cache clearing/F reset. It wont do it. Is there another way to clear the cache. If i dont do it i know it could cause some hicups later.
hi neal
can i install this version ( xxjvq 2.3.4) with using the CSC of the jpjpm 2.2.1 to have arabic support
i know that look s stupid but can it work thanks
please respond as soon as possible
hey Neal, got around to doing the FW upgrade and ALL i can say is it rocks. Thanks for your comprehensive explanation on the process. If I could add to it, be patient. Some procedures are happening when you think they arent !
Nice one Neal
thanks george for your appreciation!
Hi Neal good job with the instructions. Looking forward to installing the firmware but I want to know that do I need to enable lagfix on this version or is it smooth enough on its own? And what benchmark scores do you get with this firmware?
the benchmarking will be different for different devices and also it depends on diff. benchmarkign tools you use, so it will be difficulat to tell you the exact numbers!
Hi Neal can I please know that what is the difference between rooting and flashing your device? and should I root my Galaxy S or flash it? which one is a better practice?
Thanks in advance
its mentioned in the article! you can flash it, no need to root as of now!

Hello
1. I installed drivers for I9000…
2. then went on 2.3.3 – but it was a battery drain
4. then with procedure on your site went to root 2.3.3
5. I must upload 2.3.4 JVQ (I wan’t to go for Extra Ordinary Rom 3.2)
But…. Every time Odin recognized phone when I plugged it in – now, when I rooted it (v 2.3.3 – which is mandatory to go for 2.3.4 JVQ) – well now Odin does nor say “added”, and windows pop up msg: “…. usb device not recognized….” (?). Why is that? It worked perfectly before root on GB 2.3.3. Sholud I install drivers again?
Any help, will be most appreciated!
BTW: Keep up the good work!
Regards!
I solved the problem by installing Samsung New PC Studio… all other solutions to install drivers failed somehow…
thnx anyway! hope this helps someone
regards!
you need to install the latest version of KIES!
Thanks – I already solved with mentioned Smg PC Studio – and I really have no need for KIES… A never used it and I don’t miss it.
I’ll keep it in mind if installing on some other PC.
thanks zorzi, good to hear that!
thanks
Hi Neal,
I was trying to update my phone with this firmware but it suddenly failed at somepoint. What should i do now? please suggest something asap.
remove battery, reinsert, restart pc and then try updating!
Hi Neal,
I used your guide to update to XXJVP and now XXJVQ. The guide are really detailed and easy to follow. Thanks.
i had a black screen of death problem, The screen went black after boot.bin started. So i flashed it to the old firmware i.e. XXJVP and then again to the new one and the second time it went great.
I having a bit of a problem with running applications on the roms. Asphalt 6 and modern combat crash at the start of the game. Is it a problem with the ROM or is it some thing else.
have you cleared the Cache from the recovery mode?
Yes i did, I even did the factory reset option.
Is any one else having the crashes as mine?
try installing XXJVR!
same with XXJVR. I think its a gingerbread issue …
Is there a guide i can follow to downgrade it from 2.3.4 XXJVR to 2.1 Eclair that came with the phone?
you can directly update with the 2.2.1 version!
Hi

1. is there video/voce chat support for gtalk?
2. is “daily Briefing” included?
1. no voice/ video support
