Guys i have a way to install the official ICS ALPHA Firmware on the I9003
1.Requirements
First thing to do is to fully charge up your phone to a minimum of 60% battery life to ensure that your phone doesn’t turn off during the installation process.
Make a back-up of all your necessary data as it is vital to have a copy of your original files since we are installing the alpha version of ICS 4.0. Most of the current features won’t work right now and you may have trouble in accessing your data.
Enable USB Debugging on your phone by navigating to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.
Disable all unnecessary computer processes like antivirus software, firewall programs, and PC suites as they may interrupt the firmware installation process.
2.INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download the ICS firmware from here
2. Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
3.Do not extract the zip file.
4.Put the zip file in ur sd card
5. Boot into recovery or clockworkmod recovery.
6. Select install update from sd card. U can move around by the vol. buttons and select by the power key
7. Now select the zip u copied earlier
8. Wait for 5-10 mins. The process will complete and it will reboot
9. And now u hav ICS on ur Phone.
Remember ur doing this at ur own risk. I am not responsible for anything that happens. Its still the Alpha release so do expect some software or hardware issues!
What is the source of this release?
by samsung? or u? pls tell me, I need to know
So its official or not?im confused.u get it from samsung?
have u tested it？
Its the same thing that is doing its rounds on the internet.Google it ya ll find it,its by androidauthority.com,i think its is the alpha port by fuss made a long time back.. Link :www.forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18955766

Guys, if anything like this happens again, please contact myself or wardfan by reporting the post or pm. We usually respond pretty fast. If you pm me, I get it immediately. (So pm is best for me) We do not want to see anybody have their phone ruined.
To the OP, do not post links like this that is not verified to work. It only causes headaches.

I have made an install zip for the Android Market 3.1.6 which seems to be working well. No problems with downloads or payment options. Please feel free to download and leave comments. This is my first foray in the Android arena so please no flames, YMMV. The usual disclaimers, I take no responsibility if this bricks your device, etc... Hope it helps some and if it does please give thanks/credit.
Dude this version has been out for a long time now and its not even the newest version of it
Please search first and stop spamming!
No spam intended, I know this is not the newest version of the ap but 3.2 is not working for many. I just posted to help anyone who upgraded and needed to roll back to a working version. For me (and many others) 3.2 does not allow you to purchase aps, free works fine but purchase is not working. Again no spam intended and this is a working zip and ap.
Any way to get the apk .to push tho root explorer cant flash my volume rockers quit working thanks in advance
And i cant buy app version 3.1.5

Yes just unzip the file and copy the Vendor.apk using root explorer (or whatever ap you are using) to the system\app folder, reboot and you're good to go.
Thanks will do ..

You missed the intent of the post. Granted the OP did not do a great job explaining it, but this is not spam...
He made this zip version so people can easily revert to this version of market if you are using my series of ROMS. Mine have 3.2.0 and that is a screwed up version. If you flash this zip it will resolve that by killing the old version and replacing it with this version. He made it into a zip to simplify the process.
And remember, if you dont like the post, simply dont respond. No need to come in and start flaming and acting like a tough guy. Just ignore what you dont like and move on.

Warning: Using ODIN on ICS may brick your phone!
This tutorial is for those who are currently having issues with this ICS update and the phone is very unstable on it.
1. Restore to a GB rom. U can flash using odin but other users are saying that it may brick ur phone.. Do it on your own risk. I have done it with no problems. Indian users do flash zskk5 2.3.6. For other users flash zcla1 or xwla4.
2. Root it. Then install busybox.
3. Use efs backup pro, a windows software, to backup your efs partition. Dont worry, its free..
4. Backup ur sd card and other data.
5. Repartition using apx mode using the unbrick tutorial.
6. Flash a GB rom specified earlier.
7. Again root n install busybox.
8. Restore efs using efs backup pro.
9. Install cwm and restore ICS.
10. Do a factory reset.
Thats it!
If you find it helpful, i am open to recieving thanks!

How can u claim that after doing this ICS will be brick free and bug free . Just using unbrick tool will turn emmc immortal seems legit
provide sources or explain this in details.

I must say that you really put the devices under risk.Sorry to say this.Doing wipes/factory reset is the main cause of brick and the same applies to nandroid restore.Odin is considered safe but since 1 guy said he bricked using Odin,I'm not sure if he flashed after his device was affected or the Odin made it.
As of now,those who are in ics,do not wipe or restore backups.stay where you are.

I cannot explain this but it really worked for me.. I have tried every possible way to make my phone stable but this was the only way which worked. Just shared something which i found fruitful but if you dont find it useful u can tell me an another way to do it.. I m cool with anything..
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
U r provding wrong information to other users, u have mentioned that follow this tut to get brick free ICS, also part of this post are encouraging peoples to use odin on ICS which is claimed dangerous by other user. this can harm peoples around here. After following this tut peoples will be careless about brick bug and might be brick their devices.
We are here to help each other and share but do not share things which could harm others.
Better edit out this post.

Dude is that ok now..?
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
Dude NEVER recommend factory reset (especially via CWM which is the case here) when dealing with brickbug. It's ok to share your experience, I understand you just tried to help but in such particular case we must be extremely careful, and we cannot think it worked for me once...it will be safe for all others. No, it doesn't work that way. Data wipe is known to be the most common trigger of brickbug. There is already a good thread: [CAUTION][ICS]Read before flashing ICS, and look at Entropy512's posts. He's I guess the best xda-expert in that matter.
And about using Odin... I haven't carried any of those bricked phones in my hand so I cannot state anything for sure, but I'm up to 90% sure that damage was already present before Odin was used (since problems started before). It's highly unlikely that Odin itself can trigger the brick. However problems could become more evident after Odin were trying to write to damaged partition. Any single case has been reported where using of Odin itself was considered as the one that caused damage of partition/chip.
It's a shame that you guys don't have custom ICS-kernels, that would make it much easier.
Yes...Entropy is the guy who first found the bug and showed us some light on it.
OT:LOL...we take the pride that Brick bug first showed up on us(Note users)

You did not mention what you exactly did. I mean... what are those "needed things"? It's not just enough that you start with some stuff and begin flashing. You should have proper knowledge & accurate files & extremely careful while doing these type of tasks.

the needed things were odin 4.83, BENI_v1.0.ops, and S5670XWKTI from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583430

**** figures -_- i just noticed the thease roms are for gingerbread users only... i flashed the gingerbread only roms on froyo :/ -.-
the phone responds(screen on... lol)... yea but i could not get it to oding with power+home+volume down it didint display the logo on startup too...
I installed S5670XWKTI from here:

Hey! The names of four files is important. They need to be set at right place. If odin is still detecting your phone while you tried the Download Mode, may be this will helpcheck your starting file names)
1. OPS :- BENI_v1.0.ops
2. BOOT :- APBOOT_S5670.....
3. PHONE :- MODEM_S5670.....
4. PDA :- CODE_S5670....
5. CSC :- CSC_S5670....
You can try this (at your own risk) b'coz froyo also have 4 files with their correct order mentioned above.
Hope this helps...

Hey guys as the topic says my lock button ain't responding!..
All was fine until today my phone suddenly hanged and I took off my battery to restart the phone but tit turned on on its own without pressing the power button !..and now when I try to lock the device or turn it off it ain't working!:
I am thinking is it the ROM issue (I'm using official cm7) or hardware issue(key is broken)...
Please help!

A Guy in my neighborhood runs a repair shop and I took my fit to him!..he said that its not a hardware fault but indeed it's a software defect!..He said that in such a case mostly 80% it is a software defect! ..
So I was planning to flash a stock ROM can anyone provide me with the link of latest Indian Firmware for Galaxy Fit?..(along with a small procedure,if possible) ...
Thanx guys!..

Should I go for 4 files firmware or .tar?

It's not an Official CM7 prob. But, since, it seems nothing except repairing ur phone... you should give it a try. Try to flash both stock firmwares one by one, and see whether it's back to normal.It doesn't matter which one u flash first. Flash either four pkg firmware or one pkg.(depends on U).:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Download stock ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
In Search write s5670 and you now have ROMs for download.
After download ROM.zip, extract it.
You now have MD5 File. Flash this 4 MD5 File with ODIN.
This is an example:

Power button issue
Hey admin I have this strange issue with my fit !
Whenever I charge my phone with a different charger of the same specs or if i overcharge my phone the power button responds like its a touchscreen button or so !
I do not need to press the button !
Even if I roll a finger over it it would lock or unlock n may switch off or reboot at random !
Plz solve this thing !
Note: already tryd numerous ROMs !
currently on MII v4 !
Hey i facing the same problem here.
my power button has been broken for a year.
But when i go to service centre, they said they must change all of sparepart. because the thing that broke is the main machine.
I dont know they're trying to trick me or not
i had same problem earlier but not now..
There was a time when my Galaxy fit device started acting weirdly like trunng off automatically, frequent hangs, etc. But i was okay with all those things till my power off button suddenly stopped working at all. Although i still was able to go to safe mode and recovery mode but it wasn't working during normal operations. Till than i was usuing the old FORYO 2.2 version of android. I thought maybe upgrading to Gingerbread can solve the problem. So i tried upgrading my device through Samsung kies. Unfortunately due to slow internet or some other issue i wasn't able to upgrade my device.
Than i finally upgraded my device manually through Odin. All my hopes were dashed when i noticed that my power off button was still not working. Than i flashed various roms like Jana Rom and finally i'm using stock rom.
After using this rom for about 1.5 years one day i suddenly noticed that my power off button started working miraculously. One of my friend who also use Galaxy fit had same problem but his power off problem was automatically fixed quite earlier than me. So i guess it would be best if you wait long enough and hope that the power off button would one day started working again.
OK. so i watched the noob video before doing all this i just wanna say i tried my best...
so i have rooted 1 phone prior, to this Samsung galaxy s blaze attempt. it was successful.
but this one wasn't so fortunate. i searched your forums up and down and maybe its because i'm "special" according to the video.
i cant find anything on how to help me unbrick my phone.... here's what i did....
1. downloaded odin 1.85
2. downloaded blaze.pit file
3. downloaded blaze-root img file.
did the process word for word action for action. step by step,...
and this is where i failed. i didnt download CWM i didnt download super user...
and i did all this over ICS, which i read in other forums stating that all the things i was doing was wrong because i was following instructions for Gingerbread. which i dont have because i updated to ICS a few mnths ago.. i failed i admit i am a nub... now i need a veteran of android Ownage to save me!
'
my samsung galaxy s blaze 4g, gets stuck at the loading section of the start up. *blue bar loads all the way then it just stops at the end. nothing happns. ive waited and still nothing happns. lol im so sorry guys
plz help :'(
