My fren Galaxy S did the update to 2.3.3 yesterday. After awhile the phone restarts non stop & gets very very hot. Try taking out battery and putting it back also cannot solve. Unable to use the device anymore. Can any sifu help.....

try this.

1) take out the battery, then put in back
2) vol up + home + start button to get into recovery mode
3) wipe data
4) then restart

this should solve ur problem.

But if have not back up ur datas before upgrade, then u will lost all ur data after doing the above steps. With ur situation, loosing data is the only way to get ur phone back alive.

Stable ICS, well, that will be a long long time... as there will not be an official ICS for SGS.

On CM7.1 with stock kernel
Glitch nor fugu didn't seem to work well. Random reboots.

Anyway with stock kernel OC/UV is enabled
SetCPU with 2 profiles
One with screen off another while charging
See how battery life is with this.

Thx bro for ur kind input. Will try this & Gong Xi Fa Cai to all .....

Make sure you back up your /efs folder and store that folder in your computer.
That's ur IMEI info.

when you was on screen 1, if you wanna go to screen 5 you just slide to left right? is this from rom or kernel?

well in that case then could u recommend a good, well balanced custom gingerbread rom?

i used csl mi-300 previously n custom roms could really make the phone improve by 2 - 3 folds!

normeck -> rom
It's actually from launcher, called loop scrolling

can pm me d link for gamerzrom custom rom?

check it at xda developers la.

okok...found it.thought not on xda.long time didnt flash my phone though...sorry

Custom roms, I use CM7. Stable and quick.

i see, thanks for the input guys

what bout the samsung stock 2.3? good enough for daily use till ICS is stable enough?

btw, it seems that my phone cannot be updated using KIES :S

I suggest not updating via kies.
Rather download the ROM and update via ODIN, much faster.

Personally the stock roms have issues in terms of lag.

Once I went via CM7, it was a much more enjoyable experience.

those who are on GamerzRom, can u use Evi?? If FC on my phone

U can find it in the first page too

alright i shall try my hands on custom 2.3 rom using odin for now then..

how long would the whole process take assuming everything goes well?

got class from mrng till evening tmrw

Added on January 28, 2012, 11:18 pmwhat about browsers bro?

i've used opera mini for its smoothness for my old phone bcuz of hardware limitation

any other better, easier to use browser that galaxy S can handle?

It really depends on what you're downloading.
You can download stock 2.3 roms and flash via ODIN, those roms are typically 200+mb.

Flashing itself takes a few minutes at most.

CM7 is ~100mb if i remember correctly.

But CM7 is slightly different from flashing stock roms.

The key is to get a CWM recovery on, then flashing custom roms are much easier.

For browser, I can't comment, because the CM7 browser is good enough.

Same old question...

I just update to Stock XXJVU Value Pack.
Seems like it not as smooth as the previous version & sometimes it will FC.
I also feel that the battery is draining faster...

Any thing I missed in the process?

You need to fix permissions to fix the FC, u can do this with CWM.
As for battery drain, sometimes it happens with different roms.
