I just go the new I9000, it was an unlocked phone but it seems to be a Tmobile version (international perhaps?)
anyways, I am on the ATT network and the HSPA+ without a problem. and it currently came with the XWKDD firmware installed. I would like to keep it stock, i just had lots of issues with my ATT Captivate after i moved to Gingerbread, and this one seems to have everything.. so far it was an easy root, i also got the CRT shutoff setup.
I would like to have the battery mod where I can see the % of the battery.
but this seems like an older Rom, and the updates do not let me move up to 2.3.4(?).
is there anything newer out there, that is stock, also if I do put a rom on it, how hard would it be to go back to stock?
and for the love that is all holey, how do I turn off the 100% warning.. that wakes my butt up when i really would rather not know!
thanks

sorry for the newb question, i feel odd with this phone.
I9000? You're sure you don't mean the I9100?
In case you're talking I9100 (SII):
Here's a huge pile'o'stock-ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
incl. instructions on how to flash.
KDD is fairly old (oldest one I've seen so far).
And there's also a thread about the 100% notification, but don't have a link to it ATM, just look around, it's there
Hi guys, I have a rooted Bolt currently running 1.70.605.0. I rooted when i got it back in May and since then I installed a rooted update of Froyo. The phone has been dropping network connection a lot lately that it's very aggrevating. I am thinking it may help fix my problem if I update to Gingerbread with the new radio.
i downloaded the file 2.11.605.3.zip from the TeamBamF.net site last night but now I am sort stuck. It's been so long since I rooted this phone so I kinda need some help. I search everywhere but haven't found a thread where there is like a step by step direction. If someone can provide me some assistance or point me to the right thread I would so much appreciate it.

The data dropping out may be due to some work/upgrades in your area ... call VZW to see if they know anything.
As far as updating to GB, my advice is tread lightly ... especially if you're just wanting a stock version of it. There are bugs, the biggest being voice mail notifications not working, that may drive you nuts. That being said, there are several custom ROMs around that have fixes/tweaks that make this plagued GB build VZW & HTC released much more manageable. Look around and there are a few "stock" custom ROMs out there - or if you prefer a totally different look/feel there are several Sense 3.0 ports to choose from too.
As far as a how-to guide, the best one I've seen is THIS ONE. Read it and get knowledge my friend
Happy flashing!
2.11.605.3.zip is the [gb] patch - "It changes camera libs, and some insignificant
framework, and apks." as stated on teambamf.net, i did read it is running smooth,
increased battery life but,with issues pertaining to vm notification error and front facing camera
upside down. i agree with Yank talk with carrier, im currently running dasBAMF Forever
kernel 2.6.35.10 stock radios have had no issues.

Can you link me to that download? I would like to see exactly what you are making reference to before I comment.
Some of those update .zips are the full unrooted rom. You wouldn't want to flash that. You want to make sure and look for something like...
"Rooted Debloat Blah Blah Blah"
The link provided by Yank is a good one. #3 for "Flashing a Rom".
Also another hint (just in case you are unfamiliar with recovery). the camera buttons toggle up/down and the power button is used to make a selection. you can select "go back" by toggling to it and selecting it or you can use the soft back key.
hope that helps.
As to the voicemail issue, Eris has fixed that. Took him 30 minutes, he said.

http://teambamf.net/showthread.php/718-How-to-flash-a-ROM
so i have been lurking the rezound forums for quite some time, and I actually used the phone for 3-4, which is good to to my work bc i switch all the time. however, I never S-Offed the the phone so im in a little bit of a pickle..I sold it to a customer who said they wanted it to work on Straight Talk, mainly data and voice. I Said shouldnt be a problem bc they were going to finish out 6 months of contract with vzw,. However he has put on a recent leak(The one before our newest "should be OTA" so the ,5), just the ROM i believed, I had previously put Amn=Ra and made a backup on GB before i sold it in case he encountered any problems since he wanted to buy it rooted to screw around, anyhow im hoping that the backup will somehow save me if i have any errors.
Basically he has chosen today to want to put the phone on ST, im not worried about everything working right off the bat, mainly calls and data. I have read that there are GSM Roms only which is what i really need to apply. So As much as I have read im not clear on what exactly needs to be done to get it on a GSMRom?
Ive searced but these threads seem down and i have spnt much of the last couple of months graduating, moving, and lurking in the GNex forums. Any help would be appreciated as this is a hell of a device he loves it and wants it on ST. Please do not reply with search. I am not sure of where to start, and i simply want this to be as pain free as possible for him. I have spent plenty of time searching, and will know what to do with directions, also ADBand i are good friends, however im using a windows machine instead of my mac today so that may take some adjust ment, if anyone who knows could simply give a long time member the information (and someone who handily knows) i want to cause no pain, just give me a few links and hints as to where to start.
the phone actually works out of the box on GSM network but only voice. It can work for both voice and data if you apply the gsm fix. I would suggest that you start with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
You technically do not need to flash any custom rom but it may work better. In the Rom section there are a couple of GMS specific roms that you can try. The rom has its own specific detail on how ot flash it. I am not too certain if they all need to be S-off but I would suggest that as it makes it easier to test roms.
I would first to make things simple and not have to flash extra stuff every time just s-off it's very simple and fast now. Second the gsm fix is hit or miss. I would just after you s-off run a ics ruu then use one of the gsm only roms out. If I remember correctly you can only really get 3G on t-mobile's network and 2G on at&t's. I also think I saw where the 3G might need the two specific bands to get it but not sure on that. So s-off and ruu to ics then flash a gsm rom and it should be good to go. That way if anything ever goes wrong you can always just ruu back to gb. Just remember whenever you ruu always preform a factory reset in bootloader helps with data connectivity issues happening.

Alright so I've never rooted my phone or done anything fancy with it as far as that goes. Recently the ICS update was released and I didn't update right away, wasn't sure how bad it would mess up my current settings etc. After reading that it retained all my settings and functionality I decided to upgrade. Ok so first off I can't Tether anymore and my portable wifi hotspot does not work either, I'm on Rogers and in Canada, never heard of 'tethering plans' such as other people refer to with AT&T. I have my 4g enabled, can retrieve internet access, and as soon as I turn on my portable hotspot my phone is unable to access the 4g anymore, It enables a wifi hotspot but anything that connects to it gets limited connectivity and can't access the internet either. It's like the phone just shuts it off automatically. I used to use this all the time and was one of my favorite features about my phone.. If I'm unable to use this I don't even want the data plan that I currently have, the data plan I decided on DUE to this feature.. So I'm gonna be pretty pissed off if this amazing little update is trying to force me to pay for something that I already pay extra to utilize properly.
I could be wrong here but I'm pretty damn sure that the battery life has dropped by close to 20% I can watch the percentage go down while I'm doing stuff and it seems to be losing life a lot quicker now, and I noticed that after the first day of using ICS. The resolution on the unlock screen seems to be botched, It's very squished... My old version never did this, and it's kind of annoying for my background images and having the clock looking out of whack.
I'm not sure what to do, there doesn't seem to be an update and as far as I know the update has been out for awhile now, why hasn't this stuff been fixed, who can I make official complaints to as far as Samsung or Rogers goes? I've checked these forums a bit and people seem to be having a lot of issues, some similar to mine some not, some I may have just had the luck to avoid so far. Is factory reset the only real option to fix things, and will that even help my tethering issues?
Also things like browsing through Facebook can eat up 5% of my battery in five or ten minutes... I know for sure that it never used to do that. I don't get why the battery life would be effected so drastically, but even when It's just sitting around while I sleep I lose a higher % of battery life than I did before... I've browsed through various threads but there doesn't seem to be many options, is anyone able to respond to the issues I'm having?
Flash a custom ROM. It's easy, and the experience is much better. There are guides in the stickies on everything you need to do.

Like he said above me, flashing a custom rom would fix your problems. I'd recommend CM9 ICS. It's pretty stable and my favorite so far. Downside is you lose S-Pen functionality.

I had the same problem and found two possible solutions:
1- I installed foxfi and i was able to use the wifi hotspot. I still wasn't able to access the native wifi hotspot functionality on the phone, but foxfi did the same thing so no big deal.
2- factory reset. this option is a little radical, but as has been explained elsewhere on this forum, the upgrade doesn't clear some configurations that remain from the GB ROM and those conflict with things like wifi hotspot and cardock and several other things.
I had to eventually do the factory reset. It was a nuisance because i had to reinstall everything, but now my phone works great and I can access all the native functionality.
You could also flash a custom ROM, but I have done it and while they are faster and sexier than the STOK ROM you always have to give up some functionality and they always have some bugs, and once you start flashing custom ROMs you can get OFD and we may lose you forever... (I had it from my windows mobile days and I would flash a new ROM sometimes more than once per day)..
Root (flash cwm with Odin), do a factory reset, and then flash the rooted/deodexed version of the UCLF6 stock rom. You won't lose ANY functionality, and your phone will be quick as hell again -- or even faster.
Like paleh0rse state...
Here is the thread with all the listing for stock LF6; tools that may be required. Along with all the ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
If you gonna flash a rooted/deodexed version of the UCLF6 stock ROM, no need to root before hand, just put CWM on and flash away.
Foxfi worked for me. But it doesn't connect right away to the Internet, had to inniate a browser then it connected.

XDA is no longer worth my time.
Factory reset fixed it for me.
TimOster; I did not use Klies, I am with Rogers so I assume it was one of their Roms, It was a wireless download but through my homes Wifi I believe. And I don't really think I did it manually, I got an update message on my phone one day didn't even realize it was ICS at first, but of course it gave me lots of warnings and obviously realized what it was before doing it, but I wasn't expecting this lol, I wish I had checked it out online first I would have seen all the complaints and just stuck with the old version.
I'm thinking about trying a factory reset first, and if that doesn't fix things, mainly the battery issues, then I'll try a stock rom.
No one seems to mention anything about the battery usage though, am I the only one noticing this effect? :\
XDA is no longer worth my time.

Hello All,
I've been out of the scene for years...and I'm just getting back into the hacking that I used to do...
My question is this....with the screenshot attached...where would you go from here as far as upgrading goes?
Screenie :laugh:
If you want to actually use it LineageOS is pretty solid (even thoug, possibly cause of my incompetence I am just running it in 3G)
A quick question.. my baseband is still VRUFNK1 and it appears that you have a more recent one, were you able to find an upgrade for the baseband that did not affect the bootloader? Where?
I'd love more recent radios (might possibly help with an issue I am having with not being able to switch to LTE, even though the cause might be completely different)
