Hey guys,

Urgent help needed...

I bought a new Galaxy S a month ago and I experience the lag and normally only a reboot could solve it. Then Froyo came by in Kies, and after the update it was still laggy. So i revolved to rooting with SuperOneClick and applying OCLF lagfix... It was running fine until after a week or two, the phone started to experience serious lags in the homescreen, the app screen and various force closes from apps.

Then i tried formatting the phone in recovery, i did a recovery and data wipe but only after that i realized that i forgot to unroot and clear the lagfix, but even then i had no problems until this morning the phone was lag again.

Assuming that it was the root and the lagfix that i forgot to undo, i tot of trying to flash my phone with Odin using the firmware i got from samfirmware.com

Downloaded I9000DXJPA from samfirmware and used Odin 1.3 to flash my phone, there wasnt any problems with the flash and Odin reported it being successful, but my phone only boots up to the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen, not even booting to the 'S' screen. Waited for quite a long time then i tried booting into recovery but no luck, recovery doesnt work, but download mode works for me.... I tried flashing a few times and still no luck, changed to Odin 1.7 and tried flashing several times as well...

Please someone give me some advice or help me.... Please~

can u guide me through the process?? I'm really new to this android thingy.

Is darky's rom nice?? I scrolled through a few posts and most of the comments are good.
Sorry if i'm asking too much. Had no luck with it for hours now.

i'm quite interested in trying darky instead. JPU is just version 2.2.1 right??

erm, for the PIT file, do u guys still use 512? i heard there's 512 and 803 pit files as well, and 803 is said to be better?

oh god there goes my night and my studies...

so in ur opinion its the JPA firmware form samfirmware that caused this to happen???
so if in any case that i need to send my phone for repair how do i revert it back to JPA? Anybody has the stock JPA firmware?

oh... ok... i'll try that out... but first still... fix my phone
need my galaxy back asap... there's a slim version for darky 5.5 is it nicer?

OH YESH!~~~

THanks Fornx, THanks One81.... THANKS~~~

Gonna try JPU 1st... later will try darky

another question... JPU doesnt support chinese?

yup i tried it just now... JPU is really speedy compared to JPA i tot JPA was great, this is even better

would really like to try darky soon, but i'm on recovery 3e i dun have 2e not sure how to get it done

LOL
not bad also can go travel, as long as the phone dun fully brick i'm happy XD

is it normal after flashing Darky v5.5 mod that the phone boots slowly and it loops at the "S" screen for quite some time?

YAY~~~
On darky 5.5 now...
really nice interface and so on...

thanks for the tips... done everything... running everything smoothly XD

after darky mod i cant connect my phone to kies... any fix for it??

oh wow... tempting.....

btw what kind of protection u guys use for ur SGS? Screen protector, casing, pouch or anything?
I'm using a silicone devil case (like those for iphone) which is bought from taman connaught, a capdase resin (i think) case, and another case which has 2 pieces (1 that snaps on to the sides and another for the top and bottom).
All which i think is not good enuf. Searching for a pouch as well...

will the oleophobic layer wear off fast? actually i tot of getting a zagg invisible shield but its way out of budget and its not oleophobic.
currently using DCmugen's Matte screen protector but experiencing some reduction in screen responsiveness...

hopefully "quack" would restock on the screen protectors when i get my hands on ptptn loan XD

ya bought those "ori" capdase casing right after i got my phone at the same place for RM35! felt so stupid

just saw a video for the SGP ULTRA SLIDER for SGS, that looks more like a protective case... but its kinda expensive for a casing.
case-mate's tough case looks really promising too... 2 layers, 1 layer silicone and another hard layer on the outside

Added on December 17, 2010, 9:30 pm1. Darky 5.5 is mod rom. It is always possible to revert ur phone to stock firmwares (2.1 eclair, 2.2 froyo, etc) thru Odin. if gingerbread is ever released for SGS in the future u can always flash back to stock firmware and upgrade through Kies or u can download the firmware online and flash it using Odin again.
2. Yes. Some games and apps would cause lag but not sure which would
3. Brightness at maximum? The screen drains a lot of battery as far as i know. The screen problem might be from the lag ur experiencing. SGS GPS is known to have issues, there are known fixes around but sadly none worked for me so just use the original settings.

sorry my mistake

use JPU 1st lor if JPU solves most of ur problem then mayb u can stick to it and if ur feeling adventurous then get darky... XD
quite impress with JPU but then Darky has more customization and a lot of unused stock apps removed

if i were to throw my SGS at u would u bounce a desire HD or Desire back at me??? XD
