Yep. Just use Odin

Files include
512 pit file
CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5
where should the red files be put in odin ?
The options i have are PDA PHONE and CSC ???
Do i need any other files ?

If you absolutely positively have the right firmware - the CODE is the, um.... actusally I don't know... anyone else?

I know that's definitely wrong!
Phone = Modem - I know that!
And where's your PDA?
There's plenty of guides on this forum for flashing with Odin - just have a look in the main Dev threads - there's an Uber thread in there that explains literally everything...

Hi,
the CODE file should be put to PDA,
MODEM is Phone, pit file is obvious..
Also you should flash a CSC File (which you put to CSC ) depending on your country or any Multi-CSC! Just use the search.
i downloaded I9000UGJH2 FROM
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
AND THEN ALSO
Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (512) FROM THE SAME SITE
LOADED Odin3 v1.3
CHECKED RE-PARTITION
MOUNTED BY PIT
s1_odin_20100512.pit
MOUNTED BY PDA
I9000UGJH2-PDA-Kernel-Bootloader-CL490514-Low.tar
CLICKED START AND IT DID EVERYTHING ELSE
now my phone is stock and works just like new
thanks guys, worked a treat
Hello there guys. I have the following query. I have DDJP6 Froyo with DamianTGO kernel which includes ClockwordModRecovery inbuilt. Now i want to try XWJS3 Doc's Rom which i downloaded from Romkitchen.org . The issue is that the Doc's Rom downloaded with custom CSC and Modem(both India Specific) has an older CSC of DDJG4, which the stock Froyo CSC for India is DDJP5. Now if flashing Doc's Rom will bring the CSC back to JG4(which i think it will,, since it's the WIPE version), how do i update JUST the CSC back to JP5?? I do have the JP5 CSC file as a .tar file. Can i update just that using ODIN without re-partition and leaving Phone and Modem blank?? Or update it through CWM? But how do i make a tar file CWM zip compatible??
If the query, or anything similar has already been posted and answered, kindly give me the link for the same. Thanking you all in advance
Just flash the csc bit through ODIN and leave everything else empty.
Thank You Very Much

Hello,
1) if I wanted to flash to JVO with Odin, is the setup in the attached pic correct (especially the files on PDA, PHONE, CSC and repartition ticked)?
2) Wasn't there a bootloader I needed to flash? I think I read somewhere the bootloader changed with GB.

1)Yup
2)The bootloaders are included in the file you have ( See where it says sbl in the file name of the PDA )
Yeah saw that SBL and that made me suspicious whether that file really should go into the PDA slot and leave the bootloader slot blank.

Nope leave it EXACTLY as you have it there mate and you are good to go.
and repartition has to be ticked as well, right?

Yes.
You are using a pit file so you need repartition ticked.
Thanks a lot for the quick help!

no don't repartition unless you want to in which case you need ONE EXTRA FILE: 512.pit!! You sound like a newbie so depending where you are coming from -stock firmware-wise, by all means repartition but you must obtain the 512.pit that you add to odin and flash with the rest of the rom. WARNING: this will wipe all your data and apps and repartition your phone including the sd card. make sure that you remove any external SD cards if you have one and the SIM card too...for peace of mind
UPDATE: oops! England has beaten Algeria...in cyberworldcup
I'd consider myself as noob, yep.
I thought I have to repartition when upgrading from JPY (2.2.1) to JVO? I don't know when this has to be done. Just saw the PIT file recommended for JVO on samfirmware and somehow assumed I have to repartition.
So what should I do, what's the difference if I do or not do it?
I backed up all data and wiped the phone before so there's not much on it right now (and no lagfix or so used, just stock rom with CF kernel).

if you're sure that you used the same pit file as before i.e; 512.pit then you don't have to repartition at all.....if in doubt then repartition. BTW which pit file did you see on samfirmware.com? Should I assume that this is your first rom flashing from stock JPY? Also, make sure that you use the JVO rom that includes GB bootloaders.
Before? I never flashed a full ROM via Odin, only kernel (CF), thus I never re-partitioned myself.
Until now I used KIES always to flash ROMs.
If re-partitioning works like on a HDD I guess then this can be skipped unless something changed partition wise from Froyo to GB?
So do I need to re-partition at all?
Hey guys, gonna steal the end of this thread.
Currently I am on 2.2:
PDA: JPA / PHONE: JPP / CSC:JP7 (MET)
I want to use ODIN to upgrade to STOCK 2.2.1 and for it to change the CSC to XEU so that 2.3.3 (and future updates) will be done through kies automatically.
Can somebody confirm how I do this? Which file do i need to d/l - all three? And do I (and why) need to repartition?
Thanks in advance

If you used Kies anyway, why not use it now to update to 2.2.1? Afaik you can change the CSC with market apps (think I read that somewhere but someone may want to confirm this). Anyways, you could just stick with your normal CSC as GB will be released to the rest of Europe anyway.
Currently, it's uncertain whether there will be more updates after GB afaik.
But yes, our question remains: do we have to re-partition at all if we only used Kies so far to update ROMs?

Official Samsung GB for UK has already rolled out, it's called XXJVO and believe me once you've done your first ODIN rom flashing you will never stop flashing other..(custom roms and kernels) if there're any geeky tendencies inside you and just waiting to be released... see this thread and all your fears will be assuaged!

Thanks! There it says:
"Note: Re-partition is not a must, use it only if you need to change partition sizes on the device, but in most cases you will not need to repartition at all." question answered.
@Unregistered: you could use I9000XXJPY from samfirmware, JPY was the one that was offered to me by Kies back then (German unbranded SGS). But someone may want to confirm this to you first, as I see lots of others 2.2.1 ROMs there and not sure what the difference is. Samfirmware offers a single file and once extracted you should have 3 files.
I just wonder why the 2.2.1 ROM files do not show on that website which CSC is used, maybe it's universal or something?
Well, I guess Widget21 has a point here. If you are willing to flash now with Odin, you might be willing to do it with GB too, then the CSC won't matter (it doesn't matter much anyway as I learned).
Just be sure your 3 button combo is working and that you connect with direct USB.

JVO has multiCSC and UK's xeu is included in it so no need to worry about changing CSCs...remember the 'Thanks' button is there for a reason
@Unregistered: yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. If you wanna flash GB in the future you might want to do it with Odin and then the CSC shouldn't matter anymore.
For some reason, I'm unable to find out the CSC on the file and it's not listed. The JPY I downloaded from samfirmware recently has DBT as CSC (Germany). If you download the JPX file and extract it the CSC file might tell which region it is (as in my case).
@Widget21: I used my thanks feature up for today (5 max). I'll try tomorrow again.
I just downloaded this:
http://hotfile.com/dl/100618077/49a97b4/I9000XXJPY.rar.html
JPY_JPY_JPY.tar. I thought i was getting the three files. Where do i go from here
hi frnds,
I am currently on Vanilla unrooted XXJVQ and I wish to send the phone to company service centre, thereby I need it to look as Untampered as ever. Could someone please suggest how do I go about installing the Indian Stock Rom?? Please note: I am comfortable with Odin, the only confusing parts to me are "Repartition tick or untick" and Bootloaders?

Easy,especially since you are comfortable with Odin.
Tick repartition when you go for a 3-parts file.
Leave the bootloaders alone.
Use PIT.
Use the DDJV9 firmware that you can download from Ramad's threads.
for your ready reference,here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Good policy always is to go for a hard reset to get a clean phone,after duly backing up all important stuff to your PC so that you can reinstall after cleaning.
By hard reset,I refer to *2767*3855#
Best wishes.

I downloaded the file DDJV9 from the link mentioned by you, but it does not contain pit files. It just contains 3 files. What should i do now?? should i go ahead, or is PIT a necessity???
A straight quote from the above mentioned link
"All firmwares are split into 3 files so flashing can be done with or without repartition and any combination of PDA, Modem and CSC is possible."
You have to check what pit file to use
either 512 or 512 or 803
here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm it is reported that DDJV6 uses 512.pit
you can get pit file from same link
