So, finally time has come to tell you guys that Gingerbread 2.3 has arrived for Samsung Galaxy S I 9000 and you will be further happy to know that you will now be in a position to install the same on your phone effortlessly. Just read the instructions carefully before flashing your device.
Important Instructions:
1. Ensure that you are having Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 as the firmware is only for this phone and not for any other similar phones like Captivate, mesmerize Fascinate, Epic, I 9003 etc though that might look similar.
2. Back up all your data including messages, contacts and also all the third party applications which you have either installed from Android Market Place or from any other sources.
3. It is very important to enter in the download mode before flashing the firmware in your phone, if you cannot enter into download mode then you can solve this bug from here.
4. The things which you will be needing while flashing is Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone, micro USB cable,Odin v1.3, Gingerbread 2.3.2 Android Firmware and PIT 512 file which have to be downloaded.
5. Irrespective of whichever may be the current stock version like 2.2 or 2.2.1 or even XXJPY, XWJS3, you can update with this Gingerbread version. Also, additionally many might have installed Voodoo lag fixes in your device, so even with this you can flash your device. Also, read the instructions fully once and then proceed to flash as you will be well versed with the steps.
6. PLEASE SELECT ONLY 512 PIT and not any other PIT like 802 or 803 etc.

Hi Neal, OK so I upgraded in a moment of madness to Android 2.3.2 using your method. It all worked fine. However, I now find that losing Kies is much more of a pain in the neck than I thought. Samsung have released 2.3.3 but Kies although recognising my phone wont update it.
How do I get back to a version that Samsung supports and will update?
Thanks,
Gordon
you need to update using the Odin flash tool, you can update to any version of your choice!

THIS VERSION SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED.
NOTHING IN THIS VERISION IS WORTH THESE PROBLEMS.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Hey man small problem, my phone after taking a call went to ‘upload mode’ and said kernal panic. DO i need to be worried about it ? also the swipe wont work, it says the swipe installed is for a different device and the funtionality is limited !
Thank you so much, works great 😀 😀 this was my first modification, never thought things would work out fine in one go. Thank you so much for your efforts, i sure owe you some beers 😉
People
I have a Galaxy S I9000 with 2.1-update 1 and want to upgrade. I have tried using Kies to do this but it says it is ‘locked’ If I type *#7465625# then all the lock status’s are OFF so I am sure it is not SP locked.
Samsung say I have to take it to one of their service centres but this is a 120mile round trip!!
My question is – will your procedure above upgrade this phone.
you need to update with the XXJVR 2.3.4 edition as that is the latest version!
Further research into what ‘locked’ means seems to imply that the version of Android I have (2.1) is a ‘special’ T-Mobile version and they do not have a ‘special’ version above 2.1. The phone shows no indication that it has any features/apps/stickers that are T-Mobile specific so what exactly is this version and how is it different to Vanilla 2.1?
Can I backup the version of Firmware I have first so I can put it back on if things go wrong?
why you need to do the backup, you can download and apply the firmware anytime from here.
Neal
Not sure what you mean by that? Are you saying that you have the T Mobile ‘locked’ firmware on here like I currently have? If so then what is it called? For info, my phone reports that it has Firmware 2.1 update 1, Baseband I9000XXJM1, Kernal 2.6.29 umts_scm@S1-BUILD05 #2, Build number ECLAIR.I9000XXJM1. What does that mean?!
you can apply the XXJVR update!
Neal
What does that mean! Is the XXJVR the ‘locked’ T Mobile version? How can I find out what each of these types of Firmware are?
No, XXJVR is not the locked one, you need to install the XXJVS 2.3.5 version !!
Hi, can somebody please explain what the password is, and can i not get an answer like ‘look in the article’ i have looked, their is no password. somebody please tell me what the password is.
password is mentioned in the article “samfirmware.com”
thanks 🙂
Hey Neal,
read ur latest posts…it seems u r trouble shooter here….
i m having issue with My GT I9000
whenever i connect it to kies it shows lates firmware update is available.But when i starts update,at backup window it says backup failed due to unexpected error & update stops…. i have reinstalled latest version of kies atleast 4 times now..
can you suggest what could be the problem..
also since froyo update ,speed of phone has become miserable…will gingerbread solve that prob?
ruchir
you can manually update your phone with the latest ever XXJVR 2.3.4 version of Gingerbread 2.3.4!
[…]Yeah, it worked but when i’m playing some games it lags a lot! Games like NOVA 2 and Backstab are really slow 🙁 .. Opera is very slow too, i can barely surf the net! And besides that: Swype does not work.. i can type normally but when I “swype” nothing happens.. Can anybody help me?
NeaL, do you think if I update to the 2.3.4 version it will solve my problems? And if it solves, i must do the same instructions? Like using the same PIT and everything? Again: thanks a lot!
yes all your issues wil be solved!
Hello my phone : FW version 2.2 Baseband: I9000XXJPP Kernel: 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S611 #1 Build FROYO.XFJP7 can i update my phone? i bought it from vodafone romania and it is locked in vodafone. do i need to root it or something? thx a lot for the guide.

And if i update this firmware like this will my service provider give me any greef for doing this update to my phone if i have to take it in for any unscheduled servicing or problems?
THanks alot

Dear bro,
I have seen ur latest update on the forum about the firmwire Extra Ordinary ROM v3.4 … All the best wishes.
My doubt is now am having the firmwire 2.3.2 XXJVE (which I thought to be the latest, but now only came to know ts too old …)
Shall I update to this latest one? (After updating to Gingerbread XXJVR 2.3.4 Firmware , as read from your article) But can I do it directly from XXJVE to XXJVR 2.3.4 ? or first 2.3.3 then 2.3.4 …etc?
If so;
1. Does it require Rooting … etc? I simply don’t like to root or do complicated surgeries on my Phone. But I enjoy Flshing the ROM.
2. Saw that all my Internal SD will be formatted … I would like to keep the gallery in the phone and don’t want it to get formatted…
3. Above all, I want my phone to be with the latest firmwire, bugfree, enhanced ROM and Battery backup and Total stunning performance… So I want 2.3.4 xtra ordinary rom…
I know the question is lil idiotic… but pls help me and suggest which firmwire I should update now…
Thanks in advance…
yes you can update with the XXJVR 2.3.4 VERSION. no, updating with this wont need you to root the phone!
what is the password to extract ? :S im searching all over for it…
the password is mentioned in the article!
Very good job!
Amaazing work!
thanks andres!

I tried to upgrade my samsung galaxy S to 2.3 from 2.2 froyo. It worked beautifully.
However the swype feature becomes disabled and I wasnt able to use it. Do you know how to fix this?
Also when I used the benchmark quadrant to calculate the speed, it did not improve very much at all. It was only 1100, pretty much the same as before. Can you explain this too?
Thanks ;D
yes but you can have this feature in 2.3.4 XXJVR version!
to get higher quadrant scores, you can update with the Extraordinary ROM!
extraordinary rom? do I need to root my phone for that?
yes you will have to root!
Hey..first of all thank you very much for this blog/advice on upgrading to 2.3. I did this few days back. Now what I have observed is that swype doesn’t work when it comes to SMS. Any solution for this?

Hi,
The first step of starting the phone in download mode doesn’t work for me. Mine is a UAE handset (GalaxyS- i9000).
This device didn’t come with the market app. Recently I have managed to get market app by following a process which involves dialing *#272*XXXX#.
When I press the volume down + home key and switch on the phone, nothing special happens. The phone simply starts as it does normally.
you can follow the instructions which are mentioned in the above article
Trying to do this but the Gingerbread 2.3.4 Firmware download provided, is in a zip file, witch is Password protected.
……..
So ?
How can anybody here have done this without a password (scuse my frustration)
kindly find the password in the article!
In what article is the password? As I am having the same probleme…

Hi Neal, It is really good to see that your instructions have worked perfectly the first time for so many users, unfortunately, I am stuck badly with my first upgrade and need your help badly. I did the upgrade as per your instructions but with the 512 PIT option(it did not work without it the first time without it) but after the successful completion, the phone is not switching on at all. I waited for more than 5 minutes and then tried manual start but no good. the phone is just dead now.
please can you confirm if there is a way to bring it up live again?
thanks in advance.
Arun
thanks for the appreciation arun.!
you can update with the latest version which is XXJVR 2.3.4, you can find it on androidadvices.com.
Kindly update with the same!
Great, works or me. Thanks a lot Neal. Just one query, how do i get my backup data back? I used ‘mybackup’ app to back up my data/app on card. After upgrade all installed apps are gone. How to run ‘mybackup’ to restore backed up data? Shall i download it again?
thanks & regards.
there are some links which are given in the “Pre requisites” section, kindly find for th same!
Hi Neal,
Again bad experince with people like you. Who share the ideas but protect them Code. Asked many people about code and always answer here and there or botom or up. All is fuck. If you protect then write code clearly. I have waisted my three hours. May be never come accrose this side again. And if i see your name then may go ahead without any paying attention.
No Regards
may i know what problem you are facing? You can update your Galaxy S GT I9000 with the latest version of XXJVQ 2.3.4 version. From where the question of coding comes dude, we haven’t mentioned code anywhere like as you are mentioning.
With Regards,

Hi. I have just updated my Samsung Galaxy S through Samsung Kies. And my current version of my firmware is
PDA:19000BOJS5
PHONE:19000XXJPY
CSC:190000GDTMJS6
BUILD INFO:2011.02
These updates were run by default through connecting the USB cable and open the Samsung Kies. So I am not sure whether my firmware version is the lastest version or not. Please let me know whether I am on the right track. Thank You.
I would like to add something which is Samsung Kies says the latest firmware version is my current version. So whats Gingerbread 2.3 and so on? Why is it mine on 2.2.3?
Sorry. Its 2.2.1
there are several versions of Android, like after 2.1, 2.2 update was launched and after (Froyo) 2.2, the 2.3 Gingerbread update came! 2.2.x are the sub versions of the same!

does this new update improve internet speed & performance? sorry if it sounds like a silly question but that is what is most important to me, many thanks! 🙂
hey kim you are requested to update sgs with xxjvp 2.3.4
Hello! Your tutorial is the best! I have an SGS I9000. Firmware is 2.1-update. Build number is Eclair.JPJG8 Question is, is it safe to proceed? I took it to our local Samsung service center. They were willing to upgrade it but they told me there was the risk that it won’t switch on again, hence, DEAD PHONE. They say it happens rarely but when it does, there is nothing you can do about it. Is it true? I really want to upgrade my phone but that so-called fact is giving me second thoughts. Please advice. Thanks!
By the way, my phone is working perfectly fine. I just wanted to upgrade it. That’s all. =)
yes @jinx this update is safe if followed the instructions carefully as its mentioned above!
Install worked well, but now my home button doesn’t work and I can’t get cell signal. Wifi works fine…thoughts?
THE NEW VERSION OF 2.3.4 has arrived for SAMSUNG GALAXY S. http://www.androidadvices.com
Hi,
First of all thanks for the detailed info. That was very easy to follow and update.
one Q – I see the samsung Kies showinf LATEST firmware as – PDA:JV6/PHONE:JV4/CSC:JV6(INU)
and after updating using ODIN i see my phone firmaware as – PDA:JV1/PHONE:JVE/CSC:JV1(INU)
Can explain this? is my firmware on some lower version?
yes, it has malfunctioned i guess! try updating with XXJVP 2.3.4 version from http://www.androidadvices.com
please download link
its there in the article buddy!
Great guide..We’ll try this one with my SGS.
dear i have samsung galaxy s with Froye which i upgraded from Eclair by using Kies. now many of my friends have upgraded to Gingerbread by using Kies. but Kies installed on my Laptop doesn’t show any update for Gingerbread. it says ur current version is up to date. i have this Galaxy S from T-mobile and i live in Pakistan. would u please guide me. Is it something to do with T-mobile??? like they haven’t released update to Gingerbread???
Regards
flashing the network locked handset is like taking a risk! its really your call to proceed to update or not!

Hello Neal. Thanks for the post. Really helpful. I just upgraded to 2.3.3 XXJVO and it’s working perfect. The only problem is that now on the home screen, there are only 2 shortcuts available at the bottom of the home screen (only Phone and Applications instead of also Contacts and Messaging that where there before). Is there a way to add them there as well or did something go wrong with the upgrade? They were really helpful where they were before..
Thanks, Kyris.

Hey Neal,
I found that the proxy settings are not available on the gingerbread update. Is there any app that you can recommend (free app). I looked at ASProxy but it is $5.99 (I think) and I want to connect to my University Wireless. I used to connect it when I had Froyo 2.2 though apps were restricted. Can you name an app that can allow apps access as well?
Thanks
Kind regards
Vibushan
Hi Neal,
Thanks a lot for the update. I’m new to android and i did this within 4 days of my purchasing the new phone. Thats only because you have explained it in such easy steps and have given proper hyperlinks to download files that are needed. Never seen such a complete instruction set before. Kudos. Please continue the good work.
Kind regards
Vibushan
thanks @Vibhushan for the appreciation. We look forward to your Continued support and appreciation ahead!

I’m having SERIOUS problem with my Samsung galaxy S i9000
I upgraded to Gingerbread to stop my phone crashing every 5 minutes of normal use … now i keep on crashing even harder! but less i’m now experience Kernel Panics!

Hello , i have recently installed the 2.3.2 on the i9000 Galaxy S , but so far i have found two errors .
1st the phone hangs after instensive usage and gives kernel reboot error.
2nd after phone calls ends sometimes the phone hangs if there i didn’t remove the phone off the ear to disable the proximity sensor.
Please help if there is a way to fix this , and thanks for the great job .
Also one last thing , i need to root this rom how can i do it ?
Ahmed A gad
@ahmed i would not recommened you to root your device straight away as i reckon you are a newbie to this flashing world as rooting voides the warranty. Though you can install the latest and the most stable 2.3.3 Android XXJVK Gingerbread version for your Galaxy S from here,

http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-stable-gingerbread-xxjvk/
Firstly, thank you very much for this!
It works perfectly most of the time, but lately I have been getting more and more hangups on my i9000. I just goes dark and stays that way for anything from 20 seconds to several minutes. It happens at least once a day. I never experienced this with 2.2 lagfixed. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
@Bendik 2.3.2 has some bugs which are solved in XXJVK 2.3.3, try installing the same!
Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort with this. The video was especially helpful but it was somewhat scary to hear you say “or it might brick your phone” so many times lo. It made me so nervous but I am grateful that you are so thorough in your instructions. Excellent post. Thanks again.
88887I have download all three files but can’t open any of them? pit 512 or i9000xxjpy or i9000xwjv1 can you please help he?
@hussain you can go ahead and install XXJVK 2.3.3
I have OneClickLagFix is that a problem?
@stanislav no issues go ahead and flash! we are here to help you! 🙂
Update: managed to re-download all drivers using Kies, and flashing again now.
Recovered! Thanks for the above, much appreciated.
I have also noticed a number of problems with Samsung Dive on this phone which is what I think caused this to start with…
@senor just pull off the battery, reinsert and then follow the procedure again!!
Hi,
Something has gone wrong after the following the steps above and now I see a phone joined inbetween a computer with a warning sign in Orange. I can’t turn the phone on, and when I enter the mode I normally would do to flash it Windows doesn’t recognise the device – says unknown device and does nothing after that.
Obviously cannot even find the device in Odin to do anything.
Please can you advise – I think all I need is the driver or drivers to connect the device in the ‘Downloading… Do not turn off Target!!!!’ mode
my pc cant recognize usb when im in “downloading do not turn off target” screen and of course odin cant recognize it as well im unable to upgrade 🙁 .. can anyone help me? please
@romwell pull of the battery and follow the procedure to flash again!
@romwell odin will recognize, first enter download mode, open the odin and then connect the phone to pc via usb to upgrade!
its asking for pwd?
Plz provide pwd
@praveen samfirmware.com is the password
last week i was installed 2.3.2 android samsung s gt i9000 mobile but now not working navigation option now an dalso very very poor speed pls give me a solution
@ravi you can install the latest Gingerbread 2.3.3 which we have recently posted on our site
Hi Neal,
I have recently flashed my SGS with 2.3.2 from the link at the top of this article.
I can’t seem to get swype to work (no language packs installed?)
I read the posts above and you mentioned a new release that would sort out this issue…
Is this available yet?
Thanks for your efforts and keep up the great work.
Thanks

@MC do configure the 3G APN settings, for this you need to contact
@sabkasajan
maybe this is caused by an app. I had the same problem. MyhiddenPassword app was blame. After I removed this app all works fine.
Question: I did the install above. Everything worked great! Now, I am having some issues with the phone locking up that I never had before on the release I had. Is this a Gingerbread problem? How can I fix it?

Thanks for your reply Neal Pradeep but I have been trying and re trying for days now all I get is Unknown Device when I plug the phone in while it is in download mode.
Hi I am new to android so need some help, When I connect my Galaxy S to the computer it works fine all the drivers are there and the computer detects the phone and Odin detects it and I get a yellow box but when I put it into download mode and plug it into the computer it doesn’t detect the drivers and Odin won’t detect it so can’t flash the ROM. Can someone please help as I really want to upgrade to version 2.3.2 and also get rid of the Optus stuff as I don’t use it. My phone is not locked to any networks.
just retry the procedure you will get through @andmax.
matt: You made my day. Thanks a million. my cellphone is back to life. I really apreciate the time you expended searching the net. and the most important, you decided to share it. Thanks to neal too because of all that trainning I have being learning from his blogs.
@luisnica thanks for your appreciation, do let us know if you need more help!
matt: I had decided not to mod my phone any more after the failure I had with the reception, but this is like a drug. you sound so convinced that im going to give it a try. I´ll let you know if I succeed. Thanks
(unstable)
I will wait for the Final, this BETA is instable.
couple of days ago I tried thisone but in 2 hours I went back to 2.2.2 I9000XWJS5
Better wait untill the end of the month
@luisnica and all other Galaxy 9000T owners:
the only way to get the phone working again is to get correct modem installed again. This is currently not available for Samsung Galaxy i-9000T phones.
What I did successful:
1) download Darkys ODIN version v9.2 – flash as described with PIT and TAR file (no modem included)
2) update to latest Darkys ROM version (excellent working a very fast
3) Now the modem part: Download file modem_ugjk3.zip (this is 850Mhz frequency by default) and install
4) enjoy the excellent Samsung Galaxy 9000T phone 😉
best of luck!
Hi Matt, im sorry that im this noob…but how do i install modem_ugjk3.zip? i have downloaded the file…but if i run the zip from recovery mode it just hangs and does nothing…
hey neal….m facing many probs after upgrading probs lyk it hs started hanging a lot…especially after any call,in maps it shows my wrong location,in cant use swype,sumtym it shows wrong time…n after hanging screen goes black n then i hv to take my batt out n switch it on again…
so help me out wth ths…
thnx..
@ayush sorry to hear that ayush, now in this case you can move out of this and try installing XWJS7 which will solve your problem.
Hi Neal,
I have gone through all the comments and just wanted to know when you think the 2.3.3 will be out. I understand you said a couple of weeks ago that it ill be out soon. Any update? I currently use 2.2 and want the 2.3.3 badly.
Also, you are doing a great job!!! Keep up the good work.
Adi
hey aditya, can’t tell the exact date but be rest assured about the upgradation, as soon as it arrives we will give you the detailed upgradation guide. Do, let us know if we can help you in any other queries. Thanks for your appreciation, stay tuned to AndroidAdvices.

Neal,
Download issue solved, downloaded the right version now.
Everything is working fine; I am very happy.
On the Dutch Spotnet site they mentioned this release; and told me that
this version is some beta version.
Can you tell me if your version is a beta or not?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Marc
hey! marc happy to hear that, its a beta version, final version is expected by this month end. So, stay tuned!
I almost forgot: My phone is GT I9000T. (Just like matt also says).
Neal. I have been moving from v2.3.2 to the latest v2.2.1. I have been experiencing a decrease in signal reception. I used to have 16asu in signal strength inside of my house. (I live outside of the main city). So far i cant get any call while i stay at home (where the signal strength now is 5 asu). I dont have any problem while i stay in the city. Nothing wrong with the service provider ( I compare it with another identical galaxy S). Do you have any idea how to fix this?: Thanks a lot.
@luisnica hi, have you checked with changing the operator as there might be some issues with the operator.
Neal,
Thanks for the reply.
Odin issue solved, need to connect phone first.
Still issue of the download link: It downloads Froyo 2.2.1. XJWS7
Cheers,
Marc
ok
i think I figured it out. i upgraded a Samsung Galaxy i9000T. It looks like that this type of phone uses different frequency. Now, as keen as i am to use Gingerbread, i upgraded my other Samsung Galaxy i9000 (without T) and all runs fine from beginning.
Therefore, I suppose, it has something to do with the build of those 9000T phones which are not ‘common’.
Any thoughts are very appreciated. As such, clearly would not recommend at this stage upgrading any 9000T phones to ‘unofficial’ versions.
@matt though this update is for I9000, really no clue about the consequences if flashed this fw in some other phones! Its not advisable as some of the functions might not work well, though the phne looks same!
Still having loads of questions;
1) While in big cities in New Zealand, all works fine since updating from 2.1u2 to gingerbread,
2) as soon as i move out of cities, no signal anymore, though, i have second still original samsung I9000 2.1u2 which has good signal coverage and 3g service
3) what could be the reason? was there a frequency change somehow? why do i get good coverage with 2.1u2 and none coverage at all with gingerbread?
4) what does the PIT file exactly do?
Thanks lots
@matt PIT file is not responsible here, its just a base file, check with your Network provider for the issue.
Think something is wrong:
When I download the Gingerbread as in the link in the top of this artice,
after unpacking I get totally different files as mentioned in your list:
-PDA_JS7.tar.md5
-PHONE_JPY.tar.md5
-CSC_XEE_JS1.tar.md5
The only correct file is the pit file:
-s1_odin_20100512.pit
Also, Odin the first field on the left hand side second row does not turn yellow.
I don’t get it at all…
Please help!
@Marc restart pc, first open Odin, close KIES, put your phone in download mode and then connect with USB while putting Odin on screen… Follow this, you will get through! Do, let me know if there are any issues
wow, nice article, it is working fine.. thanks for the post
Nice post! very helpful.. Hoping for a stable release of 2.3 for SGS soon… 🙂
can i install this in the galaxy S i9003 ???
@Gibran no this is only for I 9000.
Neal is doing a wonderfull work
but guys its our own phone afterall
dont look for the latest but slow fw
Go for the best fw Like FW: XWJS7
seriously it undoubtedly the Best Fw i have experienced so far.
Go For it its 2.2.1 but better than 2.3.2
Thanks Neal Again
the best software ever… thanks dude for helping me out ,,, it took me minutes to install gingerbread in my galaxy s… it works great and many people have been complaining about market but it works just fine,, infact that was the first thing i tried using after installing 2.3.2..
thanks a ton
Hey Neal, great job in your tutorial.
However, my samsung is now freezing a looooot. Swype doesn’t work, mobile data also is out, and it crashed on a number of occasions.
What’s the best way to go back to 2.2?
@marc DO CHECK OUT THE LATEST ARTICLE ON XWJS7 , tht will be perfect as its a stable version
Hey ricnar I have the 9000B and managed to upgrade to Froyo 2.2, I don´t use the digital tv part here in Argentina so can´t cay much about it except it does try to look for channels, shame as its a good idea. Anyway use the I9000BVJJPD firmware also first without pit if it fails use 512 via odin3 v1.0
No se de donde seas, yo soy de Mendoza y acá no agarra canales tampoco, pero fui a Bs As (capital federal) y me agarro 7 canales… me quería matar 🙂
windows did say that it was trying to install drivers and then failed… then retried and then it went onto theis kernal panic upload mode…. does this mean i have bricked my phone?
okay so i followed steps exactly…
it says pass on odin and rebooted fine.. but before it loaded the home screen it now says kernal panic upload mode….
Neal,
your efforts are sincerely appreciated, believe me. when anyone is posting negatively on here it is mainly a channel to vent frustration more than anything else. i’ll look out for the update….
@gabe: You should check your APN settings: Go to “Settings” > “Wireless and network” > “Mobile networks” > “Access Point Names”. If you have no APN there, tap the menu button and select “New APN”. Look up the APN settings of your provider on Google. I hope this solves your problem.
just curious what happens if you forget to take out your sim and ext sd and you flash???? cheers but seriously please help thank you
@gabe its juz a precaution..
just flashed asian fw still nothing??????
so whats wrong no matter what firmware i flash 2.3.2 or 2.2.1 it all works great but still no 3g capabilities absolutely none no packet data what so ever????? any ideas?? should i try the asian firmware?????? please help no matter what i do i cant get my phone to function as normal please i just want to be able to use the internet??? thanks
i just want to check im doing it right so when you flash xxjpy you use the 512 pit from samfirmware and you download the xxjpu.rar file from samfirmware unrar it it then becomes a zip file and then in odin you put the 512 pit in the pit section and the zip file in the pda section??????
@gabe correct
also if i try to use the option: apply sdcard: update.zip
it just says: Install from sdcard…
finding update package…
opening update package…
verifying update package…
E:failed to open /mnt/ internal_sd/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E: signiture verification failed
installation aborted.
please help thank you
hi mate so heres whare im at i followed your advice and tried to flash xxjpu then xxjpy in that order flashed xxjpu no problems then tried to flash xxjpy and no problems in odin but when rebooting it goes into recovery mode and says
E: cant mount/ dev/ block/ st110
(invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media: cant mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me nu for format and reboot actions.
copy media content failed.
and when i try reboot or factory reset or clear cache or format sd-card then reboot it doesnt get past the boot animation and then just vibrates?????? please heeeeeeeeeelp thank you appreciate it.

Neal,
my issue seems to have been “swept under the carpet”
any news on a fix for the browser? Surely I cannot be the only person who has issues streaming…!
something interesting i found, when I go to the normal sky sports website the videos stream, however the mobile sky sports site doesnt allow me to view the video clips (it did on froyo 2.2).
i have read some feedback from other people on the samefirmware site who have said the browser is poor. perhaps there is a fundamental issue with the browser.
hey mandeep, we are here to serve you, we are working on addressing all the issues at just one time, kindly give us sometime, today we are coming out with a new firmware post, so keep watching this space.
Hi Neal,
After I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 and it runs smoothly, again a big thanks brother, In fact i have my previous comments 4 days ago and its really fantastic. But I noticed the battery easily drained. Did someone ever also observed ? Neal do you have any recommendations?
@Joel yes battery issue has been reported, will come up with a new article so that all the people who didn’t liked the beta build of Gingerbread can go back to an all new Froyo stable built.
emm: the zip file is fine. It must be something wrong with your pc or the winrar or winzip. i recomend you to reinstall one of this programs; then try to unzip, writing down the password, word by word.
Hi there Neal, once again thanks for the cool update you have given us. Apart from SWYPE, I am facing couple of other things the MAPS is not working it does open but does not show any maps and 2nd thing though it just happened only 2-3 times but still is concerning, THE MOBILE SWITCHED OFF when trying to open MAPS specially.
Can you help me out here.
Thanks
i cannot update mi galaxy i9000b with this froyos or gingerbread of general i9000, my galaxy is i9000b and have tv digital, if i update with the general firmware I lost this feature.
Samsung put effort and update your i9000b model too
ricnr
@Neal Pradeep: i have a question concerning flashing back to froyo. Why do you recommend flashing xxjpu first and not xxjpy directly?
thanks, toni
good question, actually the first version of 2.2, 2.2.1 and the 2.3.2 are the base versions and rest all the versions are the updated versions, so unless and untill the base version is not flashed you can’t flash with just update, so is why i mention to flash with JPU first and then update JPY.
I have done everything you have said and it has taken over an hour 2 do this fucking upgrade and it is still going. I have a bad feeling it has fucked my phone. Please Help me out here……………….
Sorry to hear that Richard, now you can flash XXJPU from here which will be the best and then you can opt for the most stable XXJPY, but first follow the procedure from the below link and then XXJPY One,
Do let us know if we could be of any help.
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-2-2-1/
@luisnica98: i downloaded the gingerbread zip file over again, and when i now give the password it extract almost untill the end and then i get: winzip encouradged problems during…. so i still cant update!!! someone help!

http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-2-2-1/
hi mate thanks i guess i will have to wait till proper release but in the mean time would like to flash back to the fastest most stable version of 2.2.1 so i can use 3g in the mean time but there are so many options i see that you have published alot of the tutorials so thought id just ask the master which is the best????
XWJS5
BUJS3
ZSJPG
XXJPY
keeping in mind my handset is australian???? thank you really
hi mate first of all id like to say thank you for this tutorial i followed instructions to the letter and it worked love the new interface and speed etc BUT i have lost all 3g capabilities i have no internet anything that requires data network just wont connect i had absolutely no issues prior to installing new fw but have left it for two days to see if it would right itself etc have double checked all phone and network settings and shut down any apps that might hinder packet data usage and still nothing wifi is fine calls and text fine but no 3g…..please can you help and if not can you tell me official release date for 2.3.2??? much appreciated
There is still no confirmation of 2.3.2 officially
emm: for the password right down letter by letter. Dont copy and paste (some times doing this doesnt work for me).
I NEED THE FLASH PLAYER AS WELL AS WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER (Windows Mobile) on my new Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Need also Quick Player. All this in order to watch news programs on the web. Are you able to help? Please advise. Sigurd Kolbdinson/Copenhagen/Denmark
@Kolbeinsson you can make use of Real Player as Windows media player is not available as of now for Android.
Yes i know, im downloaden 2.3.2 now again from the site and gonna try it again,, i dont understand why the password doesnt work with me
yes i know, but it doesnt work i downloaded the gingerbread file from this page and trying the password i typed before but it doenst work! what can i do about it?
every single user who has flashed their phone with 2.3.2 has downloaded the file, added the correct password to it and it worked, only for you its not working, kindly try the same correctly
ok thanks bro once again.
I am typing this pass: samfirmware.com when they ask password, but it doesnt extract the file, please help, sorry but its important!
hi there, sorry for the trouble but the password is the same which you are trying, even the target website mentions the same.
Password: samfirmware.com says the last line but if i will extract the gingerbread zip file the password is incorrect, so wich one do you guys use!? please help! i dont have a phone now because im trying to install this!!! please
hey pls enter all in small letters, even the target site has mentioned the password below the table with the ##mark, kindly refer the same there too…
so the fw 2.2.1 whaich u r telling me is it the OFFICIAL fw
@prabhpreet yes
hi Neal Pradeep
just wanted to know that im still using ur fw 2.3.2 and its superb.
now if i want to downgrade to the OFFICIAL fw, is that possible.
just because my frnd told me that its not possible to downgrade or upgrade to OFFICIAL firmware.
please tell me now.
hey prabhpreet, you can very well go back to the version but here you need to be careful while flashing as f you want to go back to 2.2.1 version which is previous version of 2.3.2, you need to flash with XXJPU firmware which we have already covered earlier here http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-2-2-1/
be rest assured, do let us know if we could be of any help to you in firmware changes!
HI DANIEL, you can root your galaxy s by following the procedure in the below link,
http://is.gd/eganuj

I found the firmware file after enter the true password to rar file. You don’t need to add that file, thanks.
I didn’t find this file?
CODE_I9000XWJV1_CL31216_REV03_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
DO you add please?
Thanks…
I think you need complete the froyo update first in argentina the three operators claro personal and movistar have 2.1 eclair in march 2011, and no signs of update to Froyo.

Hi Neal.
Errorless. I thank you for your advice.
hey neal, great job. i am quite a noob to this, but you made it quite easy for me. Am i able to root my phone now with 2.3 loaded. or is there a way to still be able to use root needing apps? thanks
hey daniel by loading 2.3.2 your device will not be rooted, you need to root the device separately!
cheers 🙂
hey neal whats new with the gingerbread upgrade as compared to the 2.2.1
better ui and better speed with few tweaks here and there!
hi where is the PIT file i can find it?????????????????
hi pit file is there in the article.
hi. is ther the animation power off like in nexsus ??????????
No, Nexus S boot up screen is still not embedded in the 2.3.2 update.
Hi,
I got my sgs with 2.1.
Then started my web quest for fw upgrades. one day I stumbled upon this site and since then I have upgraded my fw each time there’s a new one.
They pretty much work in the first try. The tutorial is simple and perfect. Best site for android upgrades. Me a loyal follower now.
U guys need to upgrade carefully and follow the guidelines like bible. I am sure there wont be a problem in upgrading.
Thanks neal for his awesome upgrades.
I will wait for the bug fixes to upgrade to 2.3 🙂
Cheers
Neal,
Can i undo all of manual updating and revert my phone to the state i got the phone with?
with all the pre-installed apps?!
thank you.
hi shehab, you cannot manually undo the update, to go back to the 2.2.1 version, you need to update with XXJPU version which is stable version. http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-2-2-1/
Neal,
The upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3 fixed my problem from the disappeared Market app on my phone, i got my Samsung GTI9000 from Egypt-Cairo so it had a alternative to the Market app with something called SlideME 4.0.
so i sincerely thank you with all my heart:)
i just have two concerns i can’t find any Arabic support for the Android 2.3 there is no languages options anymore and i can’t type in Arabic as well.
so shall i wait for Google to update this firmware issues?
and when i am connected to Kies it says “this firmware cannot be updated”
what is that about?
and thank you again.
thanks for your appreciation, you can go to locale and text and can choose the region to change the language.
Hi Neal, nice post for us galaxy S users.
I have 2 problems, one which was SIM card which was similar to matts problem which I solved by re-flashing, but I still could not use my 3G connection to get online even after flashing 3 times, following the exact step in your guide. Do you experience that problem as well?
In any case, Ill revert back to froyo first and wait for a better/really official version of gingerbread.
Thanks for the help and the post!
Hey minh, sorry to hear that but am not facing any issues with 3G as am already using Vodafone’s 3G on it.
I advise you to follow the procedure to flash XXJPU for your device which is a much more stable build for 2.2.1 and is perfect with no problems being reported till now!
Check with the below link and follow the procedure to flash,
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-2-2-1/
kinda neal,
i don’t want to go back to an older version so ill try re-flashing with is firmware. any ideas when 2.3.3 will be available? 🙂
neal,
is it possible that the default browser could be corrupt? the reason i say this is because it has been playing up a little since the firmware upgrade. is there a way of installing the default browser?
hey! mandeep wat u can do the most is you can re flash your phone with this firmware or if you wan to use much stable firmware then you can update your SGS with XXJPU and can flash with the same from the below link,
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-froyo-2-2-1/
hi neal
just updated and all went ok. now i lost connection to my carrier completely. Vodafone NZ. Made sure that the sim card is ok and it works in other galaxy phone. going to wireless network operators search is not displaying any operators.
mmm, lost..
sorry to hear that, kindly visit your nearest Vodafone NZ Official Store to get more help!
thanks mate giving it a go now….appreciated
Hi Neal
Followed your instructs and upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.2. with no problems at all !!!
Really appreciate your post and a big thank you.
I have not noticed any performance issues except for SWYPE not working. Will wait for your update.
I installed the Gingerbread keyboard. It seems to be working fine, but do you suggest I remove it?
Also are there any cons to rooting my phone? I read in another post that preinstalled SWYPE like in my SGS can be removed after rooting.
Pls advice.
And THANKS once again. Really appreciate all your help.
Sail
Its only requested to root your device if you wish to explore the device and wish to try something new with the device, though its a risky process i would not recommend for a non-developer user or the one who is an amateur as its a risky process.
thanks for your appreciation
You are free to use any applications, apps are build to be tried, so go ahead install and enjoy. 🙂
Thanks Neal, will be waiting for the update….
hi neal did everything as per instructions, and when i hit start in odin an error popped up and my only option was to press ok. now my phone has been connected and in recovery mode for an hour and all that is displayed in the odin message window is:
Added!!
Enter CS for MD5..
Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
Please wait..
and my phone is still in download mode. what do i do?????? please help and thank you for your tutorial im very excited to have new fw. does my phone have to be rooted or unrooted?? please help i have no phone thanks
oops! sorry to see that your phone is messed up now, just pull off the battery and plugin again, go into the download mode and then repeat the procedure mentioned above.
there’s no condition, rooted/non rooted phone user can update the phone by following the above procedure.
Hi Neal
you have done a good job, thanks for your time and effort in explaining the upgrade!
made real simple and easy to understand,
i will be waiting for the next update
i presume you will also have step by step instructions on that
thanks
corey
yes corey, surely we will post the step by step tutorial
Hey everyone, just got it perfectly installed and its great !!! just one exception, swype function is not working in keyboard. I have selected swype for INPUT METHOD but when i type something it just does not work.
Is this a bug in this version? if not can anyone help me out pls.
Quadrant is 1025, mobile is really zippy and smooth. 🙂
Thanks.
hi umer, a bug has been detected for some of the users that swype is not working but soon in the next update it will be solved.
brother neal,
fantastic!
awesome…
thanks a lot.
same problem like ayush
Thanks Neal. Will it be available over the air under the new settings>about phone>software update section? Or will I have to go through the same process in the post above again? If I have to do the same process as above again and all data will be wiped, I’m gunna wait 10 days before installing all of my apps back again. thanks again
as of now since its not officially released by KIES, you will not be able to update the same via OTA method but you will have to flash the same via the Odin flash method. Keep watching this space http://www.androidadvices.com to get the latest updates on the new version.
Hi i have a problem i m trying to upgrade my galaxy s in download mode when i connect with usb cable its always display on my pc ” USB Device not Recognized ”.

hi ayush, there is a bug and it will be solved probably in the next update.
hi
please can i know if this update have ARABIC support
thanks
hi, yes the arabic support is very well there, you can go to languages and select the same
hey neal thnx man thnx a lot my probs r solved now n m using gingerbread 2.3.2 now….\m/
You are AMAZING!!! Thanks so much for this post. I’ve been trying forever to upgrade from 2.1… I even took it into the Hong Kong Samsung Office and they said they couldn’t upgrade it for me and needed to charge me 1000 HKD+ to change the board because it was rooted at one point.. What garbage!
Quick question though, does swipe work after you upgrade? I can’t get mine to work… it just beeps at me when I try to swipe input, like there is nothing in the swipe dictionary or something. I also got the message “The Swype Package you installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality”
hey daniel, thanks for your appreciation! Swype has some issues! but will be solved in the next available update which will be releases from 10 days from now!
the video player is sometime very close.
please solve it brother.
oops!! if there are more problems then you can switch to XXJPU which is mentioned here on how to flash, follow the instructions and then move on to XXJPY 2.2.1 you will not face any issues as its the most stable v in terms of btry n other parameters!
hey neal .. i read all d comments n the instructions carefully
firstly i d appreciate you for the awesome job u r doing wid the firmware 🙂
what i wanna know is .. is this the official sgs 2.3 version ??
also are der any known issues with the firmware??
i m plannin to switch ..so plz reply asap
thanks .. 🙂
hey rahul, yes there are some minor issues though works perfect, you can switch to it, if you like it then you can stay on it or else you have an option to switch back to any fw, am always here to help you guys! 🙂
So, be happy and taste the new version!! :
hey neal
i use this fw but im facing some problems
please try to resolve it
1) When i try to switch off my phone for the first time, after closing logo displayed my my does not switch off and something is written on the left top.
its displaying
“KERNAL PANIC”
“UPLOAD MODE”
then i remove the battary and restart again.
after then it does nt show.
is there any problem?
2) my phone get slow after upgrading.
it is definately not an issue with BBC servers or skyports servers…! that I can assure you. everything was working fine prior to flashing to the new rom.
I rang t-mobile (who were helpless) and also samsung (the tech guy told me to update the kernel via the xda developers site). I have no idea how to update a kernel so i dont want to risk. streaming was fine on 2.2.1.
please please try to solve this for me!
Kidda Neal,
I it seems like I am the only person who is having a problem with the streaming, therefore I have decided to flash the firmware again with the same 2.3.2, just incase there is a conflict of some sort which is causing the issue. I am not concerned about losing any applications.
before I go ahead, can you tell me:
– what options I need to select in ODIN to do a complete reinstall
– what options (if any) should I select in recovery mode after the reinstall
– should I do a factory reset or not
thanks
its not required actually!! it would be my personal advice tht don’t flash again as the file system is of no fault and shouldn’t be blamed!! 🙂 there might be probs with the servers of bbc..
Thank you very much Neal. I trusted you and I have updated my SGS GT I9000T cellphone. Everything is working very good (so far). I love how fast it works. just 1 thing: I have not noticed difference with the battery usage. It drains fast when I turn on WiFi.(let say from 100% to 70% with 1 hour usage). And again thanks a lot.
thanks for your appreciation, do let us know if there are any clarifications.
i just ask because all my data are still there…
sure no issues, if you want then you can go to recovery mode and then you can probably delete all the cache!
A BIG BIG THANK YOU NEAL PRADEEP
I GET INSTALLED THE NEW FW 2.3
BUT ONE THING I NEED TO CLARIFY
do i need to factory reset now.
just because i have my same pics and videos in the gallaries which i have in 2.2
but all the apps are deleted now.
tell me…..
no not required of any resets, you can enjoy your new software firmware now! 🙂
its done now,
but what is the password for I9000XWJV1.rar file
when i try to unzip it ask me to enter the password.
Password is mentioned at the bottom of the post.
should i removed my battery and try again with inserting the sim card
yes try it again! coz am too really confused to see that unusual situation of 6 ID COM blocks glowing, neither i have experienced before nor heard of it
no but i removed my sim card after switch off.
i have an airtel connection and its sim free
Neal yaar,

i want to go back to Android 2.2??????????????
@ayush, have you ever seen the download mode in your phone? If despite trying hard u are not unable to get into download mode then you will have to follow the below procedure to get download mode,

Neal, you recoment to use odin v1.3 to do the update, however it can be found found a most recent version of odin like the v1.82. Does it make any difference using a different odin version?. Thanks.
it doesn’t matter actually!! though i have to use any one, so i recommend the one which i use rather than telling you which i haven’t!
Got it flashed. Thanks man. works great for now.
Neal Yaar,
I will be patient and wait for the next upgrade….
thanks
when the next upgrade comes out how to i get it off my phone
@zain we will update you with the same! keep tuned to androidadvices.com
Neal,
not sure if this will help solve the problem but these are the details of my phone:
baseband = I9000XXJVE
kernel = 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJV1-CL31216 root@DELL1-1 #2
build = GINGERBREAD.XWJV1
juz wait for a day or two!! if there’s any problem with skysports streaming then we will be able to figure it out!
i dont understand what it could be then? youtube works fine, but i cannot stream the clips on http://www.m.skyports.com nor can i stream any clips on bbc.
this is very frustrating…!!
neal yaar, you need to help me man : -))
yes I have tried with WIFI, not working. also called t-mobile who advised me to do a factory reset.
not sure what to do now. am thinking of flashing back to 2.2.1… 🙁
oops!!
coz its surely not an issue with fw as am able to use it very well!!
@mandeep yes that will be kool but have you checked with WiFi?
Youtube is working fine, its strange… I am with T-Mobile. I am wondering if it is a settings issue? maybe I need to contact t-mobile to re-configure some settings…. I will give them a call.
so you can watch the video’s on bbc and skysports? lucky 🙁
am on Voda 3G, working perfectly on my phone!!
have u tried any other site like YouTube?
Kidda Neal,
OK, so I have gone to recovery mode and cleared the cache partition and also did another option (i think it is like a factory reset). I have reinstalled flashplayer but am still having streaming issues.
try this, go to http://www.m.skypsorts.com and try to stream one of the video clips. also you can try a video on the bbc mobile site. they are not working for me.
any ideas?
many thanks

Hi Neal,
I am having a couple of problems with this flashing,firstly when I select USB option there is one option missing * Ask on Connection*.
When I select USB mode for some reason I can see E: and F: drives but its coming up as empty and I cannot transfer data between comp and phone.
Apart form that I am missing all the apps on Samsung Apps store.
I am getting quadrant score of 990-1050.
to get the phone as a drive option, you need not select the usb mode, even in the normal mode you can explore the same!
Kidda Neal,
Here are some problems i have encountered so far:
I cannot stream video on the default web browser (I have flashplayer installed)
Default web browser freezes sometimes
Keyboard freezes sometimes (I installed the gingerbread keyboard from market)
Picture added to contact appears grainy after a little while, initially it appears OK
Generally a bit laggy…!
Any suggestions to improve the above would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Thanks
Neal yaar,
thanks. I am using this site, and in particular, your posts, for flashing my phone, so i must thank you as your step by step guides have enabled me to successfully flash my phone on a few occassions. is there any way to subscribe so that when you release a new post I am notified via email? currently I am just checking randomly…!

Stay tuned to AndroidAdvices.com

Expect Nexus one kernel in the coming updates!!
stay tuned to android advices
Kidda Neal,
This firmware version does not come with the gingerbread keyboard, why is that? I thought that would be something standard.
Also, i found the following video on youtube, which shows the samsung galaxy s running with the nexus kernel. Do you know what the kernel file is/does? it would seem as though it changes the GUI.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB7oUptHnPc
I would like to see that interface on my phone sgs…! 🙂
Thanks
thanks yaar

Thanks Neal, you are a genius! Gingerbread working beautifully, without hitches.
Hi! Thank you Neal. I am totally agree that you are a genius. At first, my galaxy s was in gingerbread 2.3.4 in original package. Then, It was spoiled. Later I were only able to download 2.1 firmware. Today, I am happy because my phone is in Gingerbread again!
Thank you!
Great to hear that!
