got 9.4 meh

Shit, I just update to latest original Samsung firmware I9000ZSJPJ
And I find that the Z4ROOT just won't work anymore. Arghh.... Have to use superoneclick!

make sure you didn't download the one with the locked bootloader ;O

@fornaxlife
I don't understand? Bootloader? Which one do you mean? Z4Root or Superoneclick?
I'm not really good at Superoneclick. Any working z4root or other simpler root apps?

if you flash the firmware with locked bootloader through odin, you can never flash custom roms anymore.. means you're bound to the official firmwares ... i heard this jpj comes with a locked bootloader.. depending which link you download from

hmm simple root app.. simplest is to flash a custom kernel to it..

superoneclick is easy either actually.. just plug to the superoneclick software with usb debugging on.. then start root @@

Locked bootloaders only exist for Galaxy Tab, no? I haven't seen any SGS firmware with locked bootloader.

no idea.. someone mentioned about it in xda jpj thread about the link in the first post when it was just released

how does the JPJ performs? quadrant and battery life?

Well, I downloaded the firmware from Samfirware site.
Only one .tar file. Not sure about bootloader.
I flashed with odin 1.8 with the option of bootloader. But I didn't tick on it. So, not sure what's going on.
I see. Thanks fornaxlife. I didn't know that Flashing custom kernel can root a device. Thank you very much.

Added on March 20, 2011, 3:25 pmWhat is the difference between root and shell root in the Superoneclick option.
I have rooted my phone (sort of) after clicking on root button. Superuser installed, but yet I couldn't use my Titanium Backup pro. Shit....!

any difference between galaxy s and vibrant?coz I saw vibrant is selling for RM 1.3k new.I know it's ap but it still packs the same thing as galaxy s.only can't find comparison in google.

At first use of the latest official ROM, it really looks snappy.
Media scanning is fast, shut down time fast, quite impressive.
I haven't even applied Speedmod Kernel.
But I'm restoring all my apps now. Then compare again.
Basically, I'm flashing back to Original ROM is because I wanna check my GPS problem. On Darky 9.3 before. Can't detect my position. Lbs test only lock on one satellite. Pethetic huh?

Momax 2700mAh battery report - left charger at 9am (100%). Still have 80% left at 3:30pm. Approximate utilization of 20% in 6 hours, or about 3.4% per hour.

Any recommendations on battery monitoring/logging utility that I can use to get more 'scientific' battery usage data?

Sorry to say that I don't like it. Too bulky. One of the reason I bought SGS is its dimension. Slimmmmm...

No need to say sorry to me. Some people prefer form over function while others the reverse.

ANyone with 3button combo problem? I tried flashing the 3 button combo fix with odin. it's bricked now. Only show Phone ! PC icon when try to boot. Is my bootloader still intact?? I hope so. So USB JIG can get into download mode in this condition??? anyone experience this??

Bootloader still intact whenever you still see something. When bootloader is screwed, there won't be anything on screen.

I noob question, I'm on prepaid without any 3G data.so if I buy vibrant, do I have to go 3G all the way?and do you think this phone will get 2.3 gingerbread update?it's using corning gorilla screen right?

Dunno, buddy. Maybe someone else can answer your questions - I have never really paid much attention to the US variants of the Galaxy S since I use the international version.

hmm, quite a number of people has their phone soft-bricked when fixing 3b combo using odin and heimdall.

Usb jig should get you download mode. Once you get it, flash any stock rom.

Alternative to usb jig is to use hairdryer method, just be careful because you do not want to heat up the whole phone.

thanks for your time kinda confused in picking either this(vibrant),captivate or the galaxy sl and last the galaxy ace.at 1st thinking of galaxy ace,but When I hear that there's only 1 time support, kinda gave up on buying that.gonna plan wisely.
