ValuePack Update for Samsung Galaxy S with Face Unlock I9000 XXJVU 2.3.6
After so much of flip flops, Samsung Electronics seems to be in the making of Value Pack for the users of Galaxy S, this Value packs is in lines with their Official announcement that it will be going to launch a Value Pac very soon. So, today we will check out an all new firmware update for Galaxy S GT I9000 which is dubbed as XXJVU 2.3.6 Firmware which is the global leaked version. This update of XXJVU 2.3.6 comes after the most stable firmware till now of Gingerbread 2.3.5 and is truly packed with a host of add on features and enhancements which we will be checking out in the due course of the article. The firmware which we will be checking out is not a fully stable value pack but is a beta version of the Value pack which got leaked.
This update brings In just one improvement compared to the last version. There were some graphic rich games like NFS Shift HD and others which when played used to heat up the phone terribly. This bug has been fixed in this version of firmware. This was an issue with the users of XWJVZ which has been addressed in this.
KIES Information:
This update of XXJVU Gingerbread 2.3.6 is not an Official firmware released via KIES tool and you need to make use of Odin to apply this update.
Also, there is no ETA on exactly when this update will be pushed via KIES tool but as soon as this update arrives, we will cover that one as well if at all there are any changes.

how to activate face unloack????

I have CM 7 currently. I entered recovery mode and did “Wipe data/factory reset”, “Wipe Cache partition” and “Clear Dalvik Cache” and rebooted.
After this, I switched off and tried to enter Download mode, which doesn’t open. The phone just simply boots into CM7 again. How to enter Download mode now?
Is this because there is no more a download mode after installing CM7? I can enter recovery mode easily though, can this update be applied from the recovery mode by copying into sdcard?
Thanks in advance
please stick to the instructions! we have summed up all in depth!
I asked because instructions were not working for me.
Anyway I was able to enter the Download mode after removing the USB cable and trying again. And then successfully applied the mod. Thanks for providing the files and tutorial.
Thanks Android Advice!
I have done it successfully and I will share my experience regarding this update.
I just want to know that can I go for one click solutions for tooting available on different forums.
we will come with the same within the next 12 hours!
I have updated to value pack. Everything is very very good except the battery life. I was using XWJVZ. It had given me the best battery life so far among all firmwares. With Value pack battery life came down to one third of XWJVZ. This is very much disappointing.
have you checked by clearing the cache?
yes, I have done hardware reset after firmware update.
thnx for this update hope the stable and official 2.3.6 will come out soon..i successfuly run this update works great..thanks more power androidadvices..
thanks empoy for your appreciation!

rooting is different from updating! you can install with DDJV9 Firmware to revert back to official version!
If i updated it and the official KIES didn’t detect the phone, is there an unofficial Kies that will work, and if there is, can u tell me where i find it?

Dear Neal,
Some time back you told about an app Mobile Odin that I had downloaded. If I want to use that App to update my SGS GT I9000 with this FW, what should I do? Can I download the same package as it is,copy to phone and try to update? Or, should I unzip the package and copy the .rar files only to the phone before updating with Mobile Odin? Could you explain the procedure, please.
Thanks a lot,
Mahmud K

Dear Neal,
Some time earlier you told about an application named Mobile Odin which can be used to update FWs on SGG GT I9000. I have already installed the App. Can I download this FW package as it is directly to my phone and update it using the Mobile Odin? Or, should I unzip it and need copy only the .rar files to phone? Could explain the procedures to update this FW on my SGS GT I9000 using the Mobile Odin?
Thanks a lot for your usual support,
Mahmud K
as of now all the firmwares are not built according to the mobile odin! that is the reason you cannot use it!
are the files still available?? not able to open the link
WE ARE TRYING TO FIX THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

I just do not want to be experiencing the force close issues in the value pack. Thx, pls assist.

Hi Neal,
Thanks you for your wonderful work. I have Gingerbread.2.3.3 for my galaxy GT-I9000 and i am from India. I am happy with 2.3.3 factory firmware.I want to update my phone with any of the latest android OS with good stability, no wifi issues, no foreclosure issues, good battery back up.
In fact i am quite happy with 2.3.3 battery back up and overall stability. There are different OS versions mentioned in your website, namely
2.3.6 XXJVU
2.3.5 XFJVA
2.3.5 XWJVU
2.3.5 XXJVT
Out of the above 4, 2.3.5 XFJVA is a global official release pushed is some countries where as 2.3.5 XWJVU is official release for Portugal.
Please suggest honestly which one to take out of the above 4. I don’t do much experiments with my phone till now and want a overall best firmware.
Thanks
Go with XXJVT Firmware!
Hi Neal,
Thanks for your quick response. I read that there is a fix for foreclosure and performance issues for 2.3.5 XXJVT.
Do i need to put that fix after applying the 2.3.5 XXJVT firmware ?
I am going to do it for the 1st time. So i am little bit apprehensive. Will it be detected by SKIES ? Will the battery and performance be better than the 2.3.3 firmware ?
What about the GTalk video call ? In which firmware version it is supported ?
Thanks
it wont be detected in kies!
Hi Neal,
You did not answer the other questions.
I read that there is a fix for foreclosure and performance issues for 2.3.5 XXJVT.
Do i need to put that fix after applying the 2.3.5 XXJVT firmware ?
Will the battery and performance be better than the 2.3.3 firmware ?
What about the GTalk video call ? In which firmware version it is supported ?
Thanks
gtalk video is not there
Hi Neal,
One last question.
I read that there is a fix for foreclosure and performance issues for 2.3.5 XXJVT.
Do i need to put that fix after applying the 2.3.5 XXJVT firmware ?
Sorry for troubling you, but i can not stop appreciating your work.
Thanks
yes there is a fix for xxjvt firmware!
Hi Neal,
Is applying the fix a must or it is for those who see foreclosure and performance issues ?
Thanks
there is no fix for this but you can clear the cache!
Hi Neal,
Is this fix for 2.3.5 XXJVT a must ?
When i tried to download the zip file, i am getting “404 Not Found” error.
if it is not a must, then i won’t put it.
Thanks
its not a fix for xxjvt, we have already covered the XXJVT FIX!
Hi Neal,
Do you know any firmware version for GT-I9000 which supports ad hoc wireless network ?
XXJVT Supports!

After applying this version and alo rooting the system, my bluetooth connection becomes very instable. The connection is often not made, or after 1 call broken. Is this a known issue?
have you tried clearing the cache?
Dear Neal,
My SGS i9000 was nearly bricked. Fortunately managed to Odin flashed it. How it’s back to stock ROM
with
Firmware version 2.3.3
Baseband version i9000DXJV9
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-i9000DXJV9-CL216763 root@SE-S604 #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.DXJV9
Can I just Odin follow instructions as above to upgrade?
Thanks in advanced.
Dave
yes you can upgrade to this version!!
Thanks Neela,
I think I successfully flashed it in. Thanks a million.
Only question is, the last step of “Clear Dalvik Cache”, I couldn’t find the option in the recovery mode. I noticed I’m now on as oppose to the shown in the photo above. Am I missing something?
Regards,
thanks dave!

Hi, I am currently on XXJVP, so I’m just wondering if I can update straight to this version or do I need to put on another version first. If so can you please tell me which version(s) I need to use first.
Thanks
Ben
Hi, I’m in the process of updating my firmware at the moment, but my phone is stuck on the first screen when I turned it back on after I disabled Voodoo. I got the robotic voice telling me it was working, but now it has been about 3 hours and it is still on that screen. Could you tell me if this is normal (I do have a lot of apps), or if something is wrong, and if so, is there anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks
Ben
you can re insert the battery and re apply the update!

So I had XXJVT and upgrading XXJVU. XXJVU runs well. I rooted XXJVT with CWM so i backedup with the CWM. I rooted XXJVU with CWM as well then I restored my backup. My phone showed that it is already I9000XXJVU but the android version still says 2.3.5 and the face unlock feature somehow disappeared. Can you help me here to restore it successfully without having the features gone or something? I appreciate it that this update runs faster on my phone and uses less memory which means I can play games without lag, but really miss face unlock feature. Can you help me here somehow?
apply the update again, it will be sorted out!
face unlock should be there!
hi Neal,
I tried XXJVS,XXJVA, and XXJVU ..In all this attempts my wifi is not stable. It is getting disconnected every now and then. Is this common or is it specific to me. My Wifi was working without any issue earlier

Hi Neela,
I have Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000; Firmware 2.3.4 ; Baseband version I9000 XXJVR ; Build no. Gingerbread XXJVR ; Kernnel Version 2.6.35.7- I9000XXJVR – CL 425308 se.infra@ SEP-63#2
I was having force close issue so I carried out hard reset and went through the procedure and lastly reeboot. Then I backed up. I connected to Kies and saw there was an update so I did that. On the Kies it recorded that the firmware version is now PDA: JVR / PHONE: JVR / CSC : JVR(SWC)
However on the phone the firmware was still 2.3.6
There two things that I have observed.
1. If say I uninstall an application like Skype and turn off the device at night for charging, when I turn on the device next day this application re-install automatically.
2. If I copy say music via Kies on to the device and turn off the device at night for charging, when I turn on the device next day the music copied has been deleted.
Well the normal phone functions work all right but the force close problem is still there particulary with Skype, Whatsup, Bible and AVG anti virus.
Please advice and help soonest.
Thanks in advance,
Kwasi.
just clear the cache from the recovery mode, it will be sorted out!
Is this version already officially been released?
Like the final of the final version for the Galaxy S (Value pack)?
yes its officially released!

Hi guys… I really want to upgrade my Galaxy S GT-I9000 with 2.3.3 to Value Pack,but…something keeps me back… Maybe I prefer to do this via KIES,that’s why…? Is there any news from Samsung about this? I dont’t belive that they will put this for Galaxy S on the Kies,but the same time I’m still waiting…
What you will suggest me? Shall I try to upgrade with instructions above? Is that really no risky to damage the phone?
Thanks!

Hi Neela,
My GTI9000 current Baseband : I9000DDJV5 and Kernel version :2.3.35.7-I9000DDJV9-CL312456. Can i upgrade my firmware with XXJVU 2.3.6?
can you please send me the link to the update
Hi Neela,
I am currently on 2.3.2 firmware
XXJVE
Build number GINGERBREAD XWJV1
When I put the phone in download mode and connect it via USB the ID COM box won’t turn yellow. The USB works fine. I guess I need the correct drivers to install. Do I need to install them on my phone or my computer or both and can you tell me where to find them.
Cheers mate.

hi plz help me,,
after extracting file i went into download mode and wen i open odin the id;com section was not going into yellow. where from i download the require conecting driver download.i am using samsung galaxy s .i am waiting for your answer.
thank you
You have to install KIES to install the drivers. After that stop all KIES-Applications, start Odin and connect your phone again – the divers should be loaded now and ODIN should find your phone now.
Keep in mind that you have to run ODIN with administration rights.
I did the odin thing.
It did it succesfully
Phone wont turn on.
OK, I was following this update step by step but then i noticed you have written that ticking re-partition might brick your phone. I was on cm7 before following this guide and I ignorantly ticked the re-partition box. And it worked. So I don’t know how it can be dangerous.
you can re apply the update by following the instructions
Does this update method also work for Korean Anycall version of Galaxy S
no its for unlocked version
dead link for downloads…
links have been renewed, kindly check the same now

Hello,
I downloaded the rar-file from the link, but the password supplied in this article does NOT let me unpack the files. I get prompted with “wrong password”. Any suggestions?
/Johan
Hi,
Using the password androidadvices.com, I have systematically a “wrong password” error message when decompressing the rar file with winrar or winzip. I download many times the file and use a pro access.
Can you help me ?
Thanks
tried youre link to hotfile to download the pack, extract, enter pass. after this it starts unpacking but halfway it gives an error.
Bad block: “I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA\CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5″
File fails CRC check: “C:\Users\Ventus\Downloads\I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA\CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5″

i tried it 4 times now
grz
when i click open with winzip i can only see 3 files. maybe also a problem since u mention 5 files
try samfirmware.com as password

while extracting would show error box with name and destination and with “corrupt file or wrong password” :/
only been learning about flashing firmwares about 4weeks now and i have i9000 on 2.3.6xxjvu(rooted)with semaphore kernel?. and have recently flashed back to this as the dark knight ics4.0.4 rom i was using had problems with the tv out and fc’s. is there any ics roms that are as stable as the jvu? why cant i find any honeycomb roms for the i9000 and is it true that its not a good idea to use them on the i9000. other than that the value pack 2.3.6 is one of the best roms ive used and is the one i keep going back to. can i get a ics theme for it and how do i apply it?(can i use rom toolbox or suchlike?)ive tried about 20 or so roms in last month but think the 2.3.6jvu rom is my favourite.
What about password ????
the password is there in the article
WHAT ABOUT PASSWORD??? i tried both passwords mentioned
Neel, when extrcting the same, it showing only three files, the PIT file is not there…how it can be sorted out???
you can find it in the zip file
Neel i tried the download 3 times, uzipping the downloaded file shows only three files the pit file and the odin files are missing .. pls help
extract the folder again with WINRAR
Hi, tried WINRAR but have the same problem, no PIT file. Tnx for your help
Hi Neel i have only found three files in zip folder and also the password isn’t working. kindly help asap…
PIT file is missing as well.
Problems.I downloaded the files and in WNRAR I can see only 3 files.After extracting, the same.I did everything as you said.Help!
Password androidadvices.com does not work. This is not the password. I’m now trying a brute-force crack it. Pls remove encryption else change to a simpler password if you can’t remember what you uploaded. Thanks.
refer I9000 category to find the latest release
As Michael said, the password is -> samfirware.com. So the article is either using an outdated shared s/ware link or the articles is very outdated.
There are only 3 files inside. This means whoever uploaded it only uses 3 files.
1. CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
2. GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5
3. MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5
That’s about it. Unless the author updates his article, the buck stops here.
Thanks.
its an outdated article, that is why the link is dad. you can update with the latest firmwares from GALAXY S SECTION
