Default Neeh Help Flashing To I9000XWJG3

Hey guys,

Got a noob question to ask:

I bought a Galaxy S two days ago and would like to update to the latest firmware. I live in Australia and my firmware details are:
PDA: I9000DTJF3
PHONE: I9000DTJF3
CSC: I9000OPSJF1

Now my question is what files inside the 'I9000XWJG3.rar' do I need to flash on my Australian Samsung Galaxy S? As there are 3 files in the 'I9000XWJG3.rar'.

Do I just flash the 'PDA' file using Odinv1.0?

I'm scared about the MODEM file will stuff up my carrier settings because it uses European gsm networks? or correct me if I am wrong?

Thank you.

Also interested in this answer.

And is it worth the upgrade to I9000XWJG3 from:

PDA: I9000DTJF3
PHONE: I9000DTJF3
CSC: I9000OPSJF1

and when using Odin.

CSC = CSC
PDA = ?? which file?? code or modem
MODEM = ?? which file?? code or modem

Thanks guys.

Yep, I'm another one on Optus with the same firmware. The SGS seems a lot more difficult to flash than my Nexus One that Ive had for 6 months now.

Just out of interest for those other Optus Aus users here, did you have an update.zip on your internal mem?

the update.zip was not there when I got the phone.

But I did put it on and run update.zip and now I have a Superuser Permission App.

When flashing with Odin3,

PDA = CODE
PHONE = MODEM
CSC = CSC

Remember to use the .PIT file as well, which can be found here. You will need an account to download it, but that's free..

I'm new to Android too and I'm sorry I can't answer the OP's question, but I don't think it really matters if the files are European, because I flashed with Eastern-European files and I live in Holland. When I inserted my SIM my phone immediately switched to Dutch. You will have to enter your APN details manually though, but that shouldn't be too big a problem..

Hope this helps!

Edit: I'm actually not too sure anymore about flashing with European files, because I just read in the USA SGS topic that the US version has 4 buttons, whereas the European version has 3. Not sure about the Aussie version, but I would suggest you wait for an answer from someone who knows his stuff a bit better than I do
