wow lucky i double checked, so that means DO NOT TICK RE-PARTITION? it might be outdated but the flash guide in samfirmware is dated 16 June!! so need RE-PARTITION or not?

ok done with re-partition, odin says pass then i choose reboot then the S came out but now the screen just blank and its vibrating every few seconds, how ah? i wonder how long does the reboot takes....

wei tai loh, dont scare me la, its still the same condition, cant be taking that long right?

ok doing what u asked but this time i untick instead of ticking, at recovery mode after flashing i select reboot right? or wipe dat/factory reset? or wipe cache partition? or format sdcard?

same thing is happening after i flash the 2nd time, after i select reboot at recovery 3e the S logo comes on then blank screen and the phone vibrates every few seconds

flashing for the 3rd time still not working, wonder what went wrong, can someone please help?

yup im flashing JPD, pit file is .803, follow exactly every step, even the flashing in ODIN says PASS then when reboot got problem it just shows the S logo then blank screen and it will be vibrating every few secs

thanks for attending to me guys, appreciate it, im flashing again for the fourth time, here are my steps :

1) Using ODIN 1.3, open ODIN, then add the pit file (which i downloaded from samfirmware .803 pit file) then i add the PDA part using a file named JPE_U.tar. then i press start. i tried both repartition ticked and unticked.

2) After finish the ODIN shows PASS then the phone will enter recovery 3e mode and i use home button to select reboot now

3) After pressing reboot, the dancing S will come out and then the S will be there for a while then next thing screen blank and it vibrates every few secs.

Its happening for the fourth time after flashing. how?

nope im from stock JF4 did not flash to JM8 cos they didnt mentioned to do that for JPD only for JPA and JPO, anyway im already downloading JM8 now to try flash to that first and see how it goes, gonna be a long night!!

yes only PDA, there is only one tar file isnt that the file i should place in the PDA, what file to place in Phone and CSC?

downloading JM8 file now and gonna try flash that, see how it goes

nah i hardly did anything to my stock JF4, no lagfix installed at all, anyway i'll try flashing to JM8 now and see how, fingers xrossed

yup still waiting for the JM8 file to download finish, damn slow la. then will flash to that using the methods all the sifus here teach me. thanks jujx, silentser, ken, kmrdeva

i third that!! lol! if we really want froyo sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands, find the info you need flash it on your own, plenty of people here ready to guide you but if complain about SGS of cos it will backfire, the froyo delay is well known in this forum but its my first time using samsung but counting the pros and cons, i still like the phone because of the hardware specs, as for froyo, i took matters into my own hands and flash one that is official in other countries (actually im half way through for those who were following me last night, i managed to flash to JM8 will try flash JPD later when i get back home) or one can also hack kies registry and flash.

so basically, the decision is with us, whether we want to sit down and complain or we take action to get what we want.

oh i finally managed to flash to JPD but the language is in chinese!! how do i change language ah?

just unplug battery should be fine but why did you end up in download mode anyway, no one accidentaly presses 3 buttons at one time

i did the same thing as you did but after reboot chinese characters started coming out for JPD, was hard to navigate cos they were asking for steps to set up the phone, so i decided to flash to JPA instead, worked fine. by the way, only one .tar file which i placed in PDA for both JPD and JPA which i flash, after flash JPA my *#1234# is :

PDA: I9000XWJPA
PHONE : I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000XEEJP4

after really testing JPA since this morning, seems like the battery and signal strength compared to my previous JF4 is much improved. but still need some time to test. It feels smoother as well....

where were u when i was flashing JPD last night!!! lol. i reach this part but no one could tell me what to do, so instead i flash to JPA, which so far is not too bad in performance. looking forward to flashing to more improved version of froyo though

partner = SGS??
