i have downloaded the android 4 I727UCALC4 leak from wiki and i have a few questions before i try it that i hope someone who has tried the leaked update can answer.
1. will the update slow my phone down? i had a captivate and went from 2.2 to 2.3 and it slowed the phone bad and did not want that to happen to this phone.
2. if i update will i still be able to connect to kies mini.
3. and if i can connect to kies mini and do not like the update can i use it to restore my phone back to the way it is now with gingerbread 2.3.5? and if not how can i restore it back if i wanted to?
4. and last has anyone had any problems at all with this leaked update. anything missing or not working.
sorry for so many questions but its better to be informed before hand than sorry afterward, so any and all info anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
oh and what about this new flash counter crap that keeps track of how many times i flash my rom and can i get around that.....
Wrong forums, this is for i777.

Dear Friends,
I happened to have a perfectly working rooted SGS running JPK on Froyo until a while ago. When I tried installing fonts with typefresh. This is where everything went haywire. The phone now doesn't want to boot. It says SGS I9000 and vibrates there 4 times and repeats the vibrating cycle. I want the phone to be working again else my mother will murder me. I tried going to the recovery mode and tried to do a factory restore but that didn't help. Tried to reflash the custom ROM I downloaded from this site (can't find that link) using ODIN but it doesn't work either. While reflashing I did not check the repartition tab. What are the possible solutions here?? KIES doesn't detect phone in download mode. Is there any link from where I can download the factory shipped froyo rom and try reflashing the same via ODIN.
Guys please help it has now turned into a Black Screen Of Death. Though I can still go back to Download mode....please help guys this is getting from bad to worse....
Update: The phone now only goes to download mode...
BUMP! Please guys a few hours before mom comes home from work...
Try flashing a 2.1 firmware with Odin.
Google samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I5700 using XDA App
You could also try flashing
Froyo that does not brick
and then flash to JI6
EDIT:
Do you have the drivers set up for your device?
Also, What device are you using? The SGS line has many phones. My advice above was dependent on it being a Vibrant
Yes I do have the drivers for my device. I'll be trying 2.1 in a while. What are the chances of Samsung giving me a replacement for the device??
I live in India. We don't get the Vibrant here. It's just plain old Samsung Galaxy S GTi9000

If you can reach download mode, find you favorite firmware in one of the guides on XDA, and using Odin flash it.
If you know what firmware you were on, you can also just reflash the PDA file of that firmware. The PDA file is Packages inside the rar file you download from samfirmware.com
Best thing is to find a guide, and follow it.
I'd JPK before things went haywire. I'm wondering what's the difference between JPK and JPM. Which one should I go for??
I'm planning to flash to JM8 then doing either JPK/JPM. Is this fine?? Or should I directly flash with JPK/M and forget about JM8? Which one is better K or M? Anything else I need to be aware of before I take the plunge??

Hey pal.
It really doesn't matter which firmware you flash. Over the time, I realized that what works for one does not necessarily work for the other. It really is a very subjective thing.
Between JPK and JPM, the later (JPM) is the latest release. If froyo excites you, go for either JPM or even JP6 (JP6 being a day newer than JPM and recommended i suppose). If eclair suits your use, I would suggest JM9

Eclair - JM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802909
Froyo - JP6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807351
It really is not difficult flashing firmwares on the i9000. Just follow the instructions from the thread to the dot and you are all set to go. In the same breath, I would also go as far to suggest that you stay away from custom ROM's till you get familiar with the process of flashing ROM's and troubleshooting (in case anything goes wrong). Stick to the stock ROM's and you should be good to begin with.
Do update on your progress.
Cheers.....
Fixed it. Flashed JPK everything working now! Thanks for all the tips and inputs!
This is my first android device (samsung galaxy s 4g sgh-t959v). I am already rooted thanks to superoneclick and confirmation via rootchecker great apps by the way great for noobs like me. My question is can I get the low down on th deodexed kc1 custom kernel and flashing to my phone also doing a nand backup on the phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also have rom manager and busybox installed, however I have not flashed clockworkmod recovery as read not to do so on another post, says it wasnt suported yet. Again thanks in advance.
The kc1 is actually an update that is available through kies mini now. They are trying to get a deodexed version of the "official" update.
It fixes some bugs you may have noticed. - message failed to send, lock ups, reboots, etc...
As far as flashing goes I would start here.

KC1 isn't on the update on Kies Mini. The update is KD1 which is newer and fixes the MMS and other small bugs that KC1 still had.
Checked out the link and wanted say thanks. it will be very usefull to get up to speed with this device for when the good stuff rolls out. Also one more thing reading the other post I dont think it mentioned doing nand backup. Other than that im good just wanna know ill be able fix it in case I really screw up messing around. Also awsome response time on the post and thanks again.

Thanks for the info it is much appreciated
My bad, got'em mixed up.
You should go and read the CWM beta thread on the Development section. There is a CWM beta version out that lets you do a backup of the phone. However, I don't think the full restore option is working quite yet. I think the best you can do is to restore your data and cache, even though you can do a full backup. You will have to wait for the final version of CWM to come out to do the full restore from any full backups that you created.
Thanks for the heads up on that. I will be patient and wait cause im new to android and want to do it all right the first time. Hacked a couple psp's but this seems to be more risky cause for psp you just needed the right memory card and modified battery. Thanks again and I will keep my eyes open in the forums for a way to fully backup and restore.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO USE THE 3ERECOERY installer so i can backup restor flash zip i go aqnd it prompts me when open i down graded my root to shell root and it said could not find directed path i dont know what im doing wrong does it have to be done through odin i use winrar to extract can some ;one please give me a heads up

STUCK AT WAITING FIR DEVICE????
hey guys, ive been searching and searching for answers but cant find any. I recently came across the post about how to upgrade my cellular souths samsung galaxy s showcase 2.1 update 1, to 2.2 froyo. but i couldnt find any files to download them, so i went to another site and found instructions and files to do everything with odin. but i failed to realize that i was installing the samsung i9000 files. now my phone will not turn on. it only will allow me to go back to the download mode. which, im sure i can correct my problem with the right files. can anyone please pm me or help me with the right files i need to use in odin to fix my problem. i have the samsung galaxy s schi500 showcase (was using 2.1update1) when i tried updating. From Cellular South, non rooted.Trying to either A. get back to 2.1 or best case scenerio get to 2.2
did You ever get your Showcase back to 2.1
I know Cellsouth released the 2.2 upgrade last week
maybe You can flash that, to help You out
Hey im still learning things so please cut me some slack. After the update to ICS, my phone basically felt like a paper weight with all the bugs. so i used odin to get me back to 2.3.5 and figured i could use the ota to update to 2.3.6. well ive found out thats hit or miss. today tho it finally went thru and downloaded, however when it rebooted it went into CMW and was unable to install. now as you can figured when i checked for updates again it told me software up to date check back in 24 hours, but my software is still 2.3.5. All im looking for is the original 2.3.6.. does anyone know if i can download it and flash it through CMW somehow? I did find this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548750 I downloaded the one that says 2.3.6 untouched but when trying to use odin with it, it ****ed up and almost bricked my phone. Is there a noob guide for this? becasue it contained img files along with several tar files. Im just unsure how to do it correctly. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Guys I see there are TONS of threads here for this device (infuse 4g) all of them have dead links from the dev-host site. My problem is this. I had the device on stock froyo 2.2.1 I believe. I have no simcard in it so it wouldn't let me take OTA updates which I thought u could even without a card or service. I'm trying to get a phone for my son to play with and watch his song videos and This is the only device I have and or can afford for the time being. it will be a WiFi only device so i don't care about radios and APN stuff as long as wifi works. It wouldn't let me install any apps from the market because the android version too old so I decided I would manually flash an update to it.. I got clockwork mod on it but 99 percent of the links for roms are dead but I found one eventually. I think it was 4.4.2. it wouldn't hoot and it just hung indefinitely 9n the Samsung logo.. so i found and flashed a 2.3.6 I then realized I had the rainbow distortion in clockwork and before it boots. I read into it and learned that it's from having froyo bootloader's. My problem now is
1. I can't find working links to the gingerbread or whatever other bootloader's I need and I can't even Google it because the link I found says "click here" instead of a file name.
2. I can't flashbany other rims because I can't see in clockwork mod to be able to flash anything.
I realize I can use idin to flash a firmware andnif I flash froyo then go to gingerbread then to icecream it supposedly will work but I can't find any Odin flashable froyo ROMs and I can't find any gingerbread or other bootloader's... Are all the files for this device just gone forever because the device is old and links are broken?
I'm sorry this post is so long I would really appreciate any response at all I realize I probably am screwed but I'm just trying to set this device up for my son. Thank you in advance if anyone answers I really really appreciate it
Go to androidfilehost.com and search for "infuse4g"
You can still download a few ROMs.
