problem with upgrade firmware - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi...
I am trying to upgrade the firmware of my Galaxy Si9000.
When I connect to Kies, I get a pop-up saying my firmware is PHONE:JP2 and a new upgrade PHONE:JV4 is available. I tried upgrading but once the process starts,
First I get an option to Backup Data.
Then, I see a window which says "Preparing device for Firmware Upgrade"
And that's it. After some time download begins , in between 50-60% its stops
The screen on the phone stays with the working man but nothing is being upgraded till the moment when Kies asks me for firmware recovery. Unplugging the phone and restarting brings it back to its original state.I tried doing 5 to 6 times but no help.
Any idea???
My Galaxy S is currently running on Android 2.1
Kies is updated to the latest version.
and
i also tried with the manual firmware update or any other custom ROM firmware update from the trusted source provided at AndroidAdvices.com, but the problem is my device doesn't go in download mode (Volume Down Key + OK button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button)...plz help me out........

1. Dear kumar, have you tried to multiply your question even more? I saw that you already asked this question in "Ask me for anything..." thread, and you have started new one... Maybe you shall ask in SG General? Maybe in SGS2 threads?
2. Buy a jig from eBay to go to download mode...

instead of buying Jig ......is there any other alternative way to go in download mode?

use "adb reboot download"

[Q] Kies crashed Galaxy S update now bricked !!HELP!!

Hi.
I tried updating my Samsung Galaxy S to the latest firmware using Kies (all official), as it was updating i got this message: "disconnect the cable, then battery, then replace battery and turn on and then try again"
So i followed the given steps and i get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I searched on this forum and found a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134975) which i followed and lead me to this screen:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h9VbztnoEqs/TamSqYdBRyI/AAAAAAAAAEs/oxp7FUo5WRs/s1600/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode.jpg
Only problem is, what should i do after this? It's on that screen. I dont want to root it (yet...), but want to update it to its latest firmware.
Kies it probably the worst, misguided software i've ever used.
Can you give a link to the official latest firmware, so i can install on to the phone.
Thanks
You could also try "emergency recovery" or something like that from the Kies. Our use Odin/Heimdall to flash stock rom. Don't worry you'll get your phone back up and running

I tried Emergency Recovery on Kies, nothing was coming up, so that was a fail...
Can someone please link me to a good tutorial to Install a stock rom on to my phone please?
Thanks.
Edit:
I've found this Tutorial, should i refer to it for my situation?
Edit 2:
Can some one link to a ROM that i can use for "[GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000" as the current one linked on the thread is dead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
[GUIDE] Flash/Install/Update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 to I9000: Detailed guide for n00bs
Use jvu, one of the latest official:
http://hotfile.com/dl/140301534/be8872c/I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar.html
No need to put anything to your sdcard as you dont have cwm.
Read the guide, get odin and 512 pit
Use search.

Thanks for the links!
I have looked everywhere and i cannot find the 512.pit, only one i found had a dead link.
Can you link me to a working link please?
Thanks
Edit 2:
Hey, nevermind, i manage to find the link and download.
I've installed the firmware it is 2.3.6! So happy
Thanks a million!

[Q] ICS 4.0 odin fail.

And from there i am stuck.

It looks like the drivers for your phone are not installed. Under the fail box it should say Something like com 6 in yellow if you had the drivers installed and phone connected. Try installing the drivers for the phone again and when its connected to odin you should see a yellow box and you will be ready to flash then.

Install drivers throught Kies. Its one of options whn doing connection rroubleshooting. After reinstall reboot pc. For next steps keep kies closed. It looks also like you did not go into download mode.
Press volume button down, homekey and powerbutton at same time quickly after powering up device. May need couple of tries. Its tricky. Reconnect if not done so phone to pc.
Press volume up to confirm. Now you can flash do not disconnect phone, be patient and wait till device powers back up.

I think I bricked my Tab?

It is showing a small round mobile phone, 2 dots, a ! inside an orange triangle, 2 more dots, and a computer.
This is the first time I'm seeing this screen.
Edit: Just to give some insight as to what I was doing...
I was using a SGT7 build of CM9, and I noticed USB Tethering wasn't working (native nor Wired Tether 1.4 worked). I had to run to a friends house for the night real fast, so I figured I'd just go back to Stock firmware and use that for a few hours just so my desktop could get Internet.
I am also using Windows 8 Release Preview. Odin could see my device fine, but upon pressing Start to start the flashing process, it did nothing (I'm guessing Odin or Samsung's drivers don't work well on W8RP). No progress was made on either Odin or my tab for about 5 minutes. Since nothing was done, I figured I could close Odin, and restart my Tab. Now I only get this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I immediately went to the "How To Unbrick Your Galaxy Tab!" thread, but didn't find mention of the screen I described in this post, and then I made this post in panic.
When I went back to Windows 7, Odin was able to reflash my tab successfully, and USB Tethering was working fine. So perhaps Windows 8 has some weird incompatibility with Samsung Drivers? In any case, this might serve as a warning to anyone trying to use Odin in Windows 8.
I think it was mentioned in a few threads.
Many confirmed that it is another download mode.
You just have to make sure it is fully charged, and keep trying Odin restocking. It will go through.
(I never experienced it myself)
Edit: many reference, just search in here fore "phone exclamation pc"
Yea it would seem it's another download mode. I was able to flash with Odin just fine in Windows 7, so all is well again
i have said this in many threads. this is the result of faulty flashing. just use the latest version of odin
please thank me if you found this helpful

I'm trying to install cfroot/kernel/cust. rom but phone is rebooting all the time

Hi,
My friend bought used Galaxy S. He asked me if I can install any custom ROM on his device. First he has installed 2.3.6 XXJVT. I downloaded CF Root for XXJVT and plugged phone in Download Mode. During installation an error has occurred. Odin shows me "FAIL" on red background. When I'm trying to boot phone it displays me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm install stock ROM for Germany, 2.3.6 Value Pack, but this one hasn't got a CF. This ROM is XWJW3. I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34347160
I'm trying to install this kernel but after installation phone is rebooting all the time. I wanted to install CM9 via CWM, so I tried CWM and tried to flash it but during installation phone rebooted. Display shows me "SAMSUNG CYANOGENMOD", then - display shows recovery with red triangle and phonerebooted, then it shows me "SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000". It loops all the time. After that I installed three files XEU with PIT 512 and CF Root for JW4, next I tried CWM and installed CM9 but phone rebooted again. My other friends also have SGS, but with battery. They have got model GT-I9000 but my friend's device model is GT-9000i.

you need to be sure which model you have, either its i9000 or i9001, they are two different models with different flashing procedure and ROM's. Best way is to check IMEI Check your IMEI here or here When you are not sure what model is your device.
For i9000 Follow this guide
For i9001 Follow this guide
