[Q] KB5 and KB1

what's the difference between T959VUKB5 and KB1? I have KB5 so can I flash my ROM with KB1? I am running on Froyo 2.2.1 and wanted to get 2.2.4 or 2.3 and i dont see any KB5 ROMS.

I am on KB5 too and its an old update. The latest one is KD1.

Just to be clear; you are on KB5; the most recent stock ROM (with some nice fixes) is KD1.
Flash Whitehawx's stock deodexed KD1 here.
The included features/fixes can be found here and are cut 'n' pasted below:
Beginning May 2nd, Samsung Galaxy S 4G users will begin receiving an Over the Air (“OTA”) software update. The update will be staggered, and users will receive the update randomly over the next few weeks. If you would like to manually install the upgrade, you can do so using the Samsung Kies Mini software on a PC or Mac. Kies Mini can be downloaded from http://www.TinyURL.com/KiesMini (http://www.TinyURL.com/KiesMini) (not case sensitive).
The OTA updates the software version to version T959VUVKD1. The previous version was T959VUVKB5. This is NOT an operating system upgrade to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread).
This maintenance release includes various bug fixes and enhancements based on customer feedback.
Call functions
•Incoming caller number displayed instead of name (for customers who subscribe to Caller Name ID service)
Memory
•Phone freezes, soft reboots, lags, or has black screen
Messaging (SMS, MMS, e-mail)
•Error: ‘Message not sent’ or 'Error in server response' when sending a Picture Message
•Contact’s name does not appear in text message ‘To’ field

i got the KB1 ROM in the link you have provided but the second link including fixes, doesn't have any files at all. Does it suppose to have any files?

Nice I have a lot of those issues that it is said to fix. Nice! I am gonna do that when I get home tonight.

You mean you got the KD1 ROM in the first link.
The second was informative only to list the fixes going from KB5 to KD1 stock ROM.
Follow pixelbrain's excellent guide to the letter to use Odin to flash that ROM to your phone, using Whitehawx's KD1 ROM in step 1. DO NOT use a PIT! You'll brick your phone. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with this procedure. Try it, don't be afraid, search the forums when you have questions and you'll learn in no time. I'm still a noob too BTW. I've soft bricked my SGS about a dozen times but always brought it back to life with Odin! There is a ton of great information on these forums, and the great likelihood is that your questions have already been answered. Search and you'll find it.
Good luck!

And just for clarification.

The error is a spoof, just reboot, it installed.
With that said, anyone else have screen dim when loading the new LG Camera. When I pull battery and reboot the dimmed screen goes away, any other work around, as I hate pulling the damn battery.

Is there an easy way to root the official OTA? I want to remove some bloatware and flash the LG cam. The reason I'm on the stock official is because of the baseband which made a huge difference for me (and as far as I know, there's no other way to get it)
Thanks in advance

hmm.... It gets stuck at step 5...

See post 4 above. Xboarder provider rooted v21e OTA, you can flash over the LG update. It will preserve the baseband. Then simply flash the LG Camera.
Xboarder also provided a bloat remover.zip that you can apply that removes all the TMobile bloat. It could not be simpler.

If I understand correctly, this will replace the Gingerbread camera with the Froyo camera. It doesn't sound like it's possible to have both on the phone at the same time -- is that right?
The reason I ask is that I'm really much happier with the way the Gingerbread camera works with the flash; the Froyo camera generally overexposed nearby things, but the new camera does a good job of regulating the flash and shutter. I'd like to have all the bells and whistles (that I haven't needed yet but might be handy someday) from the Froyo camera, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the improvement in flash photos (which is something I do pretty often).

hey xda i need a little help, you guys always have been great so here it goes...
im an evo user rooted and everything. i just got my wife and upgrade to a samsung epic, so what i was wondering was which is the best way to root and most importantly how do i know shes on/has EB13?...i dont even know what that is....i see links that refer to that but dont know whether to follow those instrusctions or look for others that just match what i have.heres her info if it helps...thank you guys!

again thanks and if this is dumb sorry

Here's a link for how the recovery which you will need once you root the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967&highlight=root . At the beginning of the paragraph, there's a link for "One Click Root".. just follow the instructions, it's pretty simple.
As for EB13, no she does not have it.. her phone is running on EC05 as shown in "Build- FROYO.EC05" which is just a version of Froyo (android 2.2) as is EB13..
Were you going to install a ROM on the phone once it's rooted or..? and if so, do you need to know how to flash the ROMs?
**and for future reference, you might want to try to search the forum.. there are wikis that would have told you what EB13 and EC05 are, and the link for rooting the phone was actually the first result when you search "root" haha.
Just figured I would warn you because some people on here get pretty pissed off when someone posts a new thread about something that they just yelled at 10,000 other people for

what is EH17?
and this link roots and installs a recovery?
again thanks sorry for dumb questions

ok, for starters, ec05 is the sprint distributed rom version, as would be eb13, or eh17 or any other 2letter2number codes on the epic forums. i'd stay on ec05, it seems to be the most stable rom/modem combination. you can flash most any rom (including the eh17 leak) from the ec05 rom, and you'll suffer less reboots or problems (unless otherwise stated by the rom developer) as long as you wipe properly. as you seem to be familiar with rooting, remember to make nandroids at any important step. as far as roms, i like the simply aosp and the cm7, but they have no touchwiz or sprint bloatware. if you like that, try srf.
finally, please be respectful of the forum rules and post in the proper place. this should be in q&a
edit: the 'E' stands for the year, 2011, and the 'C' stands for the month, march. this rom was released in march of this year. EC05 was the last official release, and was froyo. anything after EC (ED, EG, EH) are all gingerbread leaks that are less reliable.

EH17 is the lastest Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" leak for the Epic, besides the Froyo ROMs its the most stable.
Yes this will auto root and install recovery. To boot into recovery hold down Power, Camera, volume down.
After you flash the first link I posted, boot up shut down and go back into recovery and flash the second link. after that you should be good to go.
ANd it's cool man but like they said, post in Q and A, no one minds helping though.
**Personally I prefer the Gingerbread leaks over Froyo due to the speed.**

no, the newest stable official build is ec05, the newest leak is eh17. i wouldn't use anything but either of those. eb13 was released in february and was a froyo build replaced by ec05.

Infused was the first rom I ever ran, gtg was such a pioneer for the infuse, just searched my files at home and can't seem to find it sorry. It was a great rom but I would recommend using a newer rom with updated support. My favorite right now is Emancipation, I had 1 day 17 hrs on one charge the other day. Infused is a great rom tho

[Q] Bricked my phone

Hello,
First of all I'm a n00b at this, so bear with me.
I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY S phone that came with FROYO 2.2.1. I tried upgrading to CM9 following the instructions in cyanogenmod full update guide wiki.
I encountered a few problems though:
1. That guide is for Android 2.3+, so I had to go to the Samsung website and upgrade the firmware to GINGERBREAD.
2. Apparently, my phone doesn't go into download mode by using the side buttons. So I had to do it using ABM.EXE.
Finally, I was able to install CWM Recovery 2.5 using heimdall. I wiped out data/factory reset, cache partition and Dalvik cache. I go to the download folder to install CM9 nighlty zip and I get a STATUS 7 error.
Now my phone doesn't even load. WHAT DO I DO?!!!!!!

Fancy paperweight

Do you have a Samsung t959v or t959? If its t959 ur in the wrong forum and if u have a t959v then you flashed a rom meant for another phone.
If you have a t959v and can get to rec or download mode then try flashing kj6 one click but seems like you don't have this phone.
