Hey Ramad,

I have a little question : a few firmwares on Samfirmware have these files in PDA : sbl.bin, boot.bin and param.lfs. I have heard that these files can brick our phone.
Can i delete them without changing anything in the PDA and flash through Odin ?
Thanks for helping me.

Sorry for my bad english.

They will not brick your device, there is a picture on post #1, you can see more than 16.000 downloads and right now it's more than 18.000 , did you read any post where anybody said that the bootloaders did brick his device?

If you don't want to flash the firmware that updates the bootloaders then download the firmware that is without bootloaders from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 and you will be fine.

Good luck

Thank you but in fact, i don't intend to flash to 2.3.3. Can i send you a message to talk about my question please ? because i think i will be off topic if i continue on this thread.

Thanks again.

Which firmware do you want to flash JVK Gingerbread?

Update Galaxy I9000B - Operator Claro in Brazil

Can I use this ROM to Update I9000B device from Claro in Brazil?

[Ramad],

Not trying to confuse people, cm7 and MIUI require 2.2 bootloaders even though the firmware is 2.3.3.

So if you are from Samsung rom like xxjvk or jv1 and going to cm7 or MIUI, you will encounter screen tearing as well. Downgrade to a 2.2 with bootloaders will eliminate the tearing.

Hope you can include this info as well.

P/S: As always, thanks for sharing this with the users here.

Yes, you told me about that last time.. I don't know if these costume firmwares have the informations you mentioned on there threads.

All I know is that I9000B hardware is different than International I9000, you might end up damaging your device by flashing a I9000 firmware.

Which firmware do you want to flash JVK Gingerbread?

Yes i would like to flash jvk gingerbread. How can i flash custom roms is that the same procedure as stock firmwares?

I want to ask some basic thing.if i want to flash to the new firmware,not GB one,like 2.2.1 or any custom ROMs,it is better with bootloader or not ?

Because now,i do not flash yet to any other custom roms because i just bought my sgs and it is still in stock firmware. 2.2 Froyo.

Don't flash a firmware that contains bootloaders unless that you have too, we have to flash the Gingerbread firmware with bootloaders the first time or we will not be able to enter recovery would have graphics corruptions.

[Ramad] · Mar 28, 2011

Please ask and post only if you have questions related to the topic of the first post, this thread is about Gingerbread and it's bootloaders.

You can search the forum for all the questions many of you have asked, and they all have been answerd many times before, I'm sorry but this thread must stay on topic.

No, the bootloaders are safe to use.

Ramad : I think you have cured my frustration! I posted this in the turbo gingerbread MOD.

Ok, I have a question, I installed stock JVK (odin), booted up, transferred ZIP to root directory on phone, loaded k13d (odin) when into CWM and installed the turbo zip...

All works fine BUT I cannot get into CWM anymore, just recovery 3e.. I have done this process twice and need help to get CWM working, in 3e recovery if I select update zip it says

E: failed to verify whole file signature
E: signature verification failed

Can someone link direct to what kernel works after flashing to JVK, i saw someone mention 'damiens kernel is the only 2.3 but I also saw that on the rom kitchen k13d. Please help me,as I only have CWM to install ROM and then i lose the ability to..

this phone is my third sgs i9000 and havent had problems over the last year with this stuff until now..

In short please link kernel that works and holds even after installing tutbo 2.3

cheers

Is this because I didnt use a bootloader?? If I load with a bootloader then flash a kernel will it keep CMW or will I lose the ability after I use CMW to flash a ROM?

dan 6a · Mar 29, 2011

I just downloaded the bootloader link and there is only code, modem csc files, I thought there would have been a 4th file to put into boot loader box? in post one there is no file you have put in bootloader, can you clear this confusion up

I have a feeling im going to get this all working soon, I await your replies man

thanks again!

Ignore the underlined bit, I realised the boot loader was part of the CODE, Odin confused me with the bootloader box. Is there times where you do your Bootloader, Code, modem and SCS boxes, like all 4 of them?

dan 6a · Mar 29, 2011

****s sake, my problem is isolated to just me. My other i9000GT doesn't lose CWM its just this newer device

I thought ODIN reset it completely what else can I try, I thought the bootloader thing was the illusive problem fixer for this

but Im still losing CWM after loading a ROM

Any idea's anyone

CWM is not working on stock JVK, no matter whether you update bootloader our not. Only using a hacked kernel on to of your JVK will give you CWM back.

No. In fact the latest victim is the lmgify guy (aka pacoferet

) who was on jvk rom and he wanted to go back to cm7, he got his screen teared. I didn't read in details but seems like other users sent him the wrong thing for him to flash back to 2.2 bootloaders.

2.3.x bootloaders is needed for 2.3.x rom. No issue of screen tearing when user downgrade to 2.2.1 Samsung rom (this i can confirm).

2.2 bootloaders is needed for 2.2 roms. Issue of screen tearing when user upgrade to 2.3.x Samsung rom (this was reported by several users, hence you came up with this thread)
2.2 bootloaders is needed for cm7 and miui rom. Issue of screen tearing when user tries to flash with 2.3.x rom (also reported by me

)

Hope it clears up the confusion.
