Ok, so I was updating my phone to froyo according to these instructions by Virnik0 (meh, it seems I can't use links in my posts), but the name of the topic is "[HOWTO] manually flash Samsung Galaxy S with JPM firmware ** WORKS **" And you can find it from these forums.
Everything went fine. I successfully updated my phone to froyo, but I didn't root my phone or install lagfix even though the person gives instructions on how to do so, instead I just jumped into this part. This is a quote from the instructions.
GUI Medthod:
Download Android Mate from the Market
- Open the Android Mate, and switch to File Explorer bookmark at the top
- navigate to the /efs folder
- by ticking, select nv_data.bin, and from the bottom menu, choose copy.
- navigate to your sdcard directory (/sdcard for internal SD, or /sdcard/external_sd for external SD, does not matter)
- press Paste from the bottom menu.
- Connect you're SGS to the usb and download ''nv_data.bin'' to your computer
- Open ''nv_data.bin'' with notepad or wordpad and search for ''KOR'' change this to the product code matching your country
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now after I have downloaded "Android Mate" and navigated to the /efs folder to my surprise I find that it's empty and doesn't have such file named "n_data.bin" or any other files for that matter.
What does this mean and how do I get such files there?
After searching forums I found out that you should take backup from those files in /efs, but that was not mentioned in the instructions I was following
Edit: This is what I did before I jumped into the part I have quoted above.
1] Download both I9000XXJPK and I9000XXJPM firmwares
2] Download Odin 1.3
3] Download 803 pit file
4] Startup Odin.
5] Extract I9000XXJPK and I9000XXJPM tar files which you have downloaded to separate folders.
6] Then in Odin: (Now we will flash JPK firmware)
a) Click PIT Button, select s1_odin_20100803.pit file
b) Click PDA Button, select I9000XXJPK-REV03-PDA-low-CL584433.tar.md5 file
c) Click PHONE Button, select MODEM_I9000XXJPK.tar.md5 file
d) Click CSC Button, select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPK.tar.md5
e) Tick Re-Partition Button
f) Power off your phone and make sure you have SIM card out, SD card out.
g) Press and hold 3-button combo, to boot your phone in Download mode (Volume down, Menu, Power)
h) Once in Download mode, connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
i) In odin, ID:COM field shall change color to yellow, and in Message window, you will see message "Added"
j) Now press Start button.
k) Go and take cigarette, coffee, etc. This will take up to 15 minutes.
7] After successfull flash, phone will reboot itself, and Odin will write Success message. First boot can take another 10 minutes, so be patient during stare at glowing S logo on the screen.
8] If phone stays in text console (Recovery Mode) after reboot, writing (with red), that it is having problem with internal SD Card, do not panic, it will take another minute:
a) Just use Volume Down/Up to up or down movement and selection.
b) Select "Wipe cache partition" and press Home
c) Select "Format internal sd card" and press Home
d) Select "Wipe data / Factory reset" and press Home
e) Select "Reboot" and press Home
9] Get back to point 7]
10] Power off your phone again, press button combo for Download mode again.
11] Close Odin, start it again. It shall detect ID:COM port again.
12] Now press PDA, choose JPM_JPM_U_JPM.tar file (finally, JPM firmware).
13] Make sure Re-partition tick box is unticked.
14] Press Start
15] After reboot, you will have newest Froyo firmware available.

Thanks, now I see them and I was able to change the product code
Hi,
Sorry, I know this has been covered loads before but im still a little confused on the method.
Im running a great custom rom on my SGA called MindCR. I would like to be able to flash an updated custom kernel.
Im attempting to flash Rafael.Baugis. E3 Stable.
Code:
How to install Kernel with E3 Recovery (Stock):
shutdown the phone
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-XXX-boot.img.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( Select_you_rom_file.zip )
wait the end of process
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-modules.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
Do I download stock-kernel.tar ? and from the stock recovery, apply update from sdcard, choose stock-kernel?
Do I need to wipe cache afterwards?
Sorry this is so easy for most, but to me those instructions are confusing!
many thanks for your help xda
(ps,. i would of posted this in the dev section but i don't have enough posts)
The solution is in your post itself..
From Rafaels Skydrivd download the two files.. And flash exactly as given in his post

A: .tar files are to be flashed in Odin
- on the phone go to download mode: keep the [+] and [-] pressed while you power on, when the menu pops out, press [+] again
- on the pc launch Odin, connect the phone with the usb cable, it should lite up a COM-x port if drivers are installed (Rafael provides those too)
- in Odin, press the PIT button, select the cooperve_0623.pit file, press the PDA button, select the 2012***E3-PDA-boot.tar file, uncheck Re-Partition. Start!
B: .zip files are to be flashed in recovery mode, no need for PC
- move the zip file to the sd card
- go to recovery mode: keep the [+] and [Home] pressed while u power on for around 8seconds, a recovery menu will pop out soon after. if it reboots you've kept the 3 buttons pressed too much time, try again.
- select browse for zip file. choose 2012***E3-boot.zip. flash it. choose 2012***E3-modules.zip. flash it. Reboot. No need to wipe anything.
Everything should be clear from Rafael's kernel post, link to files is <<< Custom Kernel and Modules >>> and you can navigate outside the default skydrive folder to find stuff like windows driver and etc.
you can navigate there upper so you will find also driver files etc.

Procedure To Update Samsung Galaxy S With Cyanogenmod 10
Device must be running latest Gingerbread 2.3.6 with ROOT to begin .....
Remove KIES completely from Phone and reboot Computer then Install latest Samsung USB Drivers then Reboot Computer...
Ensure that your phone battery is at least 85 percent charged
Cyanogenmod 10 Download
Download Google Apps (Optional)
Connect your device to PC by using the cable.
Enable mass storage mode on it.
Now transfer / copy all the 2 files to your device’s internal SD card.
Ensure that you are not keeping it in deep directory.
Now disconnect the phone from computer.
You then need to enter into recovery mode.
To do so, switch off the device completely, press & hold Volume Up button + Home Button + Power key until recovery mode appears.
After entering into recovery mode, select “install zip from sdcard” & then “choose zip from sdcard“.
Navigate to the ROM file (which you’ve transferred earlier)
Select it & press on ‘Yes‘ to continue. ROM installation process will start.
Wait for the ROM to get installed.
After ROM gets successfully installed, your phone will land in the recovery mode again.
Now select wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition to wipe all the data & caches from the phone memory.
The same procedure you have to do for installation Google Apps. (Just don’t do the above step i.e, don’t wipe the data after installations of Gapps).
After installaing both things, now press back button to land in recovery mode.
Select reboot system now from the Recovery mode to Restart the phone.
Usually first boot of the phone takes some time after flashing of new ROM so be patient....
Done!
Issues if you have any :
LOW STORAGE NOTIFICATION : HERE or See this LINK
If the above doesnt help TRY THIS APP
NO MOBILE DATA :
Toggle Flight mode ON/OFF
IMEI Issue :
Flash a stock version of Android for your device: GB 2.3.6 (JVU, or other) that will restore your IMEI
Then you can backup the /EFS folder.
NO 3G AVAILABLE :
The CSC you used is most likely not intended for your area.
This means that the broadband provider settings are not included and
need to be configured manually.
Go to : Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names, press the settings-button and select "New APN"

Open ODIN and Check Re-Partition and put in PIT File
Make sure all 3 are ticked...
Also put in PDA / Modem / CSC press start when phone is connected via Download MODE
Press start....
Then just follow the rest to Root it...

Quick few questions please? (elaboration)
from the read-me / many posts:
**Once u have the i897 Gingerbread Bootloaders, it is not necessary to flash them again. They are
backwards compatible, therefore you can flash Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, CyanogenMod, MIUI without issues,
per the proper install instructions.
-Are the bootloarders mentiond, the ones from flashing, or from samsung/att itself. eg. I have stock gingerbread 2.3.4 from the factory, should I use the bootloaders or not?
-Would it hurt to reinstall the bootloaders if there was any question?
- I performed a dry run, and cannot get the "digging down android" I get this:
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung recovery utils -for bml-

Did I do something wrong? (edit: built a jig- goes into digger mode now)
-since I am on 2.3.4 I am tryin gto install the kk4 you linked-
the instructions say get to download mode (done)
run oding as admin (done)
yellow com lights up(done)
press start? --how does this get to the correct file? do I load it under PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC?
thanks much.

Edit:
Here is the "plan"
Prerequisites:

Download Rom
Instructions:
1. Get rom onto your internal SD card (copy to phone using PC.)
2. Download and Run Odin Flashing Utility (not Odin one click) Odin3 v1.7.zip (install on win pc)
3. Boot phone into DOWNLOAD mode (by
plug USB cable into computer
have phone shut off
hold both volume buttons
plug USB into phone
let go of buttons when you see an android digging "down"
4. Flash to Stock I897UCKK4 Gingerbread Firmware
*tbd
4. Click RESET button in Odin (beside START)
5. Click PDA button in Odin and find your kernel.tar file
(kk4 corn kernel 7.0A)
6. Click "Start" in Odin
7. Reboot into RECOVERY mode (instructions below) ** Use volume buttons to navigate up/dn and pwr for enter.
have phone shut off
Hold both volume buttons
press and hold power button
KEEP ALL 3 BUTTONS HELD for 3-5 seconds
after kernel bootscreen you will see clockwork recovery menu
8. Select "flash zip from sd card"
9. Navigate to the rom you placed on internal sd in step 1 : select Yes
10. Phone reboots to new ROM.
Here i what I did-
unpacked .zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912
http://hotfile.com/dl/137865417/4bc...S_Bootloaders_Re-partition_Full_Wipe.zip.html
ran as admin the odin file.
pressed the big start button
here is the output.
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/005>
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
phone is stuck
any advice?
Have u looked at this Captivate - PC Connection Issues... thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33227541
Be careful flashin packages with bootloaders. If flash fails during the install of the boot.bin or sbl.bin u could possibly brick ur phone.
If u were on anything gingerbread before this, then u have the gb bootloaders. So u can use a package without the Bls included.
Try a different micro usb/usb cable or diffferent usb port. More info in that thread i linked.
Majority of the time, the trying of a different cord is the solution.

Here is how I did it (100% working)-
From android 2.3.4.
Directions that worked: I used linux host running a xp virtual machine guest. This may have presented sopme issues, but it worked.
I used the odin method. Each time I connnected the phone I needed to goto devices and click the phone. I need to do this
because I needed 2.3.5 to get a rom installed, and OTA/Kies failed everytime.
Preliminary: Download Rom (and gapps) and get on internal 13gb SD card. power off phone.

hello I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 Orange firmware version 2.2.1 and kernel version 2.6.32.9 root @ DELL104 version number # 1 FROYO.BVJS4 I want it to version 2.3.6 and after version 10 cynogenMod .
the question that I must étépe by step.
thank you for your assistance.
Excuse my English I used google translate
Morning,
So. Breaking this up into three stages.
Installing 2.3.6
1.) From Sammobile.com, download a 2.3.6 firmware of any region. Many people use XXJW4 (UK). Also download Odin unless you already have it.
2.) Place this firmware somewhere in your computer. Start up Odin.
3.) Turn your phone off. Once it has shut down, hold down the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons. You should see a "Downloading!" with a yellow android. This is download mode.
4.) Connect the phone to the computer using a USB. On Odin, one of the boxes should turn yellow saying "ID:COM".
5.) Click on PDA, then find the firmware you downloaded. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS.
6.) Wait for it to start flashing.
Once you have 2.3.6, you need to root it...
1.) From the I9000 development forums there is a thread called "CF-Root". Search until you find the file with a JW4 in the name. (Will post links later)
Or you can just google "How to root 2.3.6 XXJW4" and it will take you there.
2.) Oece you have downloaded the zip file, unzip it. You should find a .tar file inside.
3.) Start up Odin and get into download mode. Connect the phone by USB.
4.) Just like before, click on PDA, find the CF-Root .tar, click on it. Again, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
5.) Wait for it to flash in. Your phone is now rooted
After that comes installing CyanogenMod...
1.) Backup whatever data you want (SMS, contacts, etc)
2.) From these development forums download BOTH CM9 and CM10. Also download JB gapps (Google Apps, links will be posted later). There is a good reason for this. Put all of these files on your phone, in your internal storage (not a microsd).
3.) This time, turn the phone off and hold down Volume Up, Home and Power buttons. You'll see your recovery mode.
4.) Using the volume buttons to move up and down, scroll down until you see "Wipe data". Select yes. This will erase everything! Do the same for "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" under "Advanced Settings".
5.) Once they have all finished, select "Install zip from sdcard". Scroll until you see the CM9 zip. Install this first.
6.) It might start installing but then stop halfway, and then your phone will bootloop. DON'T PANIC. Your phone hasn't been bricked Just take the battery out, put it back in and boot into recovery mode lke before again. You'll see recovery has changed.
7.) Go to 'install zip from sdcard' again. Find the CM9 zip and install that AGAIN. Select Yes. Wait for it to finish.
8.) Once it has finished, let it boot for the first time. Once it gets to the homescreen, turn the phone off.
9.) Put it back in recovery... Again. Go 'install zip from sdcard'. Scroll down and this time install the CM10 zip. Select Yes and wait for it to finish.
10.) Once it has finished, select 'install zip from sdcard' again and this time find your JB Gapps zip. Wait for that to flash in.
Done! you've upgraded to 2.3.6, rooted and installed CM10.
