XXJVS Firmware- Update Galaxy S i9000 to Android 2.3.5

Yes, it’s been so long since we all flashed XXJVR (Android 2.3.4) firmware long back on August 2 and later, while the some portions of the android blogosphere was already beaming with the latest Android 2.3.5 builds of Android OS. So, it was time Samsung showed their supremacy, yet again, with this tiny update too, updating their rockstar Galaxy S (international version GT-i9000) android phone to Android 2.3.5, from 2.3.4 — just an addition of 0.0.1 but says a lot about how hard Sammy’s update team is working on to push timely update. Not only is Samsung the first one to update their phone to Android 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, but now, to 2.3.5 too.

So, without much ado, let’s see XXJVS Android 2.3.5 in flesh on our lovely Galaxy S i9000 — btw, even the mighty Galaxy S II is yet to see Android 2.3.5 builds. And for your information, this Android 2.3.5 update firmware/ROM, XXJVS, is said to be an official leak of Samsung’s team, but like always there is no confirmation from Samsung about that. We’ll know only when XXJVS reaches to consumers using Kies, Samsung’s PC update software.

Before seeing the whole flashing/installation procedure, let’s see warnings and compatibility notes first:

[error]This guide is applicable only for Samsung’s Galaxy S international version (GT-i9000). Check your phone’s version in Settings – About Phone. It has to be “GT-i9000” for this firmware to be compatible with your phone. If it’s not GT-i9000, simply don’t try this ROM on your android handset — don’t even think about it if you care about your android device.[/error] Warning: Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won�t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

Pre-Installation thoughts:

  1. Installing/Flashing this ROM will erase your apps and data. So, it’s a very important you back them up, before proceeding further. To backup your apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. Restore APN settings if Internet isn’t working for you. This Android backup guide would help you. And if you’ve rooted your Galaxy S, you can save application’s data too, using Titanium backup (free app on android market) to backup apps with data. And use this this app only  again to restore those apps with data.
  2. Drivers! — it’s important you’ve the proper drivers installed. Download links below:
  3. If you have Samsung’s PC software Kies installed, un-install it first because it may interrupt the flashing process. If you’ve installed it for sake of drivers which otherwise weren’t working, make sure you exit the Kies completely before beginning the procedure below.

How To Install XXJVS on Galaxy S i9000 (for experienced users)

Well, it’s pretty easy if you’ve already had fun flashing using Odin a decent number of times already. Download XXJVS (password: samfirmware.com) and install it using Odin3 v1.7. Put the *CODE* file in PDA tab, *Modem* file in Phone tab and *multi CSC* file in CSC tab. Put the .pit file in PIT tab and make sure Re-Partition is ticked too. Hit Start!

If you didn’t get what was said above, don’t worry one bit, a detailed guide for you is just below.

Step-By-Step Guide (for not so experienced users)

Although the guide below is very much detailed, step-by-step and sufficient for you to easily flash the XXJVS firmware on your Galaxy S, but in case if you want to watch a video of how you are going to do it, that is, flashing the XXJVS firmware is flashed using Odin, check out this video showing installation of an earlier firmware ‘XWJVB’ on Galaxy S. The procedure is same, so it would be helpful for those who are new.

  1. Download XXJVS firmware first. Filename: I9000XXJVS.rar. Size: 228 MB. Download Link. (password: samfirmware.com)
  2. Extract the downloaded file ‘I9000XXJVS.rar’ to get these 5 files:
    1. CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
    2. GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVS.tar
    3. MODEM_I9000XXJVS_REV_00_CL1059471.tar
    4. s1_odin_20100512.pit
  3. Download Odin PC Software which we will be using to flash the XXJVS Android 2.3.5 ROM on Galaxy S. Filename: Odin3 v1.7.zip. Size: 192.55 KB. Download Link.
  4. Extract Odin3 v1.7.zip to get .exe file – Odin3 v1.7.exe. Run it when asked in step 7 below.
  5. Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC.  Then Switch it Off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
  6. Now, put the Galaxy S in “Download Mode” — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power. This is required to Install XXJVS using Odin PC Software.
  7. Open Odin (from step 4) — I9003_Odin3 v1.82.exe.
  8. Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get “Added! !” message, than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed (links given above under heading ‘Pre-Installation thoughts’).
  9. Now, in Odin, select these files at respective tabs (for visual help, see the screenshot at step 11 below):
    1. Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship.tar (from step 2.1)
    2. Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9000XXJVS_REV_00_CL1059471.tar (from step 2.3)
    3. Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVS.tar (from step 2.2)
    4. Click the PIT Tab, and select s1_odin_20100512.pit (from step 2.4)
  10. Make sure these 3 checkboxes are ticked: Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. [Note: Since we’re using the .pit file, it’s important that the Re-Partition checkbox ticked, too. If sometime is future, you do not use the .pit file, then that time, keep the Re-Partition button unchecked. Just keep this in mind, always.] Leave everything else on Odin untouched.
  11. Double check everything said in step 9 and 10 above. Your Odin’s screen, after selecting all the files and ticking and not-ticking the checkboxes, should look like this: XXJVS Firmware Installation Guide
  12. Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your phone will automatically reboot, upon which you can unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. If it’s in red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.
  13. When it restarts, your Galaxy S will be running the Android OS, v2.3.5 with Samsung’s custom UI TouchWiz 3 atop it. Not TouchWiz v4 — that you find on Galaxy S2 — for Galaxy S right now, at least officially from Samsung. Check out you’re your phone’s android version here → Settings → About Phone.
  14. (Optional, of course) If you found this guide useful, share it with your friends and others on your Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and on websites you normally visits. That would be helping us grow too!

ROOT XXJVS

Yep, we just posted the root guide (with download links and all that) to root XXJVS firmware. Find the XXJVS Root here.

That’s it.

BTW, as for what’s changed apart from the Android 2.3.5 build number in “About Phone” under settings, there is not much to say. The video talk feature is missing from the GTalk app. But, the Gmail app has been updated to latest version, 2.3.5, which supports individual label-wise notification system, always show images, etc. Let us know if you find any more changes — as also how is the battery life on your Galaxy S running XXJVS.

We’d be glad to hear back from you. See you all in comments below.

  10. If somebody has it running, can you please check if the swype keyboard has Bulgarian (Български) language in its language list? I am using the device primarily for writing and cannot afford an update where Bulgarian swype language is missing (like in 2.3.4). Thank you in advance!

  11. wifi doesn`t work

    1. did you use the jvr root?

    2. same here, wifi doesnot work even after root…

    3. Wifi seems to disconnect once per minute

  12. I am still on I9000XXJVP and even here WIFI is not as best as it was before. Yes! Phone is very speedy and hangs very less.Will wait some time to update further to see reviews of XXJVS users.

  13. Kapil , Is there something new in XXJVS that was not there in XXJVP ? Will only update if it is a big step forward.

    1. Nah, you can avoid this happily. Nothing great to speak of changes 🙁 Only gmail app has been updated to v2.3.5, which one can do from the android market itself.

  24. Hi Kap

    Thx for the updates, i was browsing thru darky rom ver, what does JVS-Base meant/do and Darkcore_4.0_JVS do/meant, i was wondering how to do theirs, its confusing with so much varieties to chooice 😀 any advice? thx

  25. Hi Kap

    Any difference in using Odin V1.0 or V1.7 or V1.72 to root ?

    1. I would recommend v1.7 over 1.0. And better use the one I’ve provided link for, both for installation and root.

  26. wifi is not working  propely…

    1. Will fix for that tomorrow, new cf-root for jvs is live, actually. Using that solves problem.

  27. WIFI Ain’t Working!! Wait For Another UPDATE.

  28. any idea how to roll back to a version that may be updated with kies?  since flashing 2.1 to 2.2 and 2.3, kies gives me  ‘this version of firmware cannot be upgraded’ …or smth..   (galaxy s  i9000, xxjvr at the time)

    1. yes after flashing of our own..even i can’t update my phone from kies. I get Same message ‘this version of firmware cannot be upgraded’ . Only Kapil can guide you what to do for going back to official update way.

  29. Hey guys, you gave download link straight from your website! Way to go, thanks a million… Though try mirroring also, because your download speed as not as fast…

  46. WIFI worked best in Android 2.2  . New versions have fasten the phone, increased battery time, decreased hanging but WIFI has lost its class. But still very happy with I9000XXJVP . Skype video calling works great and front camera can be used at will. Hopefully in future Galaxy S will get that one last killer and ultimate update.

  47. So when I upgrade my phone to 2.3.4 My BF whent ballistick.
    I use Parrot car kit MKi9200 with soft 1.95.
    Now after 1 or 2 phone calls I got an error: “SORRY The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (Force close)”. After that phone did not find Parrot and I had to restart my phone. Yesterday I upgrade to 2.3.5
    And what you know the error text is shorter now but it still f..k my BF up.

    Whay to make new ones if they can not fix the bugs in old ones.  Some times I think if Linux wortks the same way then I am not suprised whay only small group of ppl use it. Becouse it is full of bugs and as it is free ware then no one is responsible.

    So how I can get the original soft back now ???

    1. try amestris ROM you will see the difference on battery life, speed, stability.. no FC since i installed.

    3. yes, it’s rooted.. Kies has just been a huge FAIL for me, so I really hoped I could at least get some upgraded firmware like this… but everywhere I look you need the three button combo… :/

    4. buy a jig of ebay , that will force the phone into download mode

  62. Guys, my “home” button no longer works on my GalaxyS (I think I spilled some water on it…) so I don’t have the three-button option.. Any other way to install the firmware? I’m currently on the 2.2. Thanks!

  71. One problem, the image showing how Odin should look doesn’t have the Re-Partition button ticked. I hope it hasn’t disterbet anyone until now 🙂

    1. I’ll check it and let you know, but know that it needs to be ticked.

    2. Oh, that’s because I took the screenshot before selecting the .pit file which is why re-partition remained unticked. I’ll soon replace it with a correct pic. Thanks for pointing it out.

  72. i tried that with my galaxy s gt-i9000 xxjvo but  message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin it’s in red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful. so now what will i have to do????? 

  73. Hi guys. I’m also experiencing frequent wi-fi disconnects. My phone is not rooted.
    Changed from xxjvq to xxjvs because of the force closed problems. But now the wi-fi problem is more nerve wreck. Is there some fix to this? Thanks

    1. update: Back to xxjvo. At least is stable.

  95. Sorry for the stupid noob question, but does upgrading this way wipe anything?  I’ve backed up, but if all my apps/contacts/settings get wiped, the missus will be peeved.

    1. you can backup contacts, messages, logs etc. using MyBackup, or if your current firmware is rooted then you can backup everything using Titanium Backup. yes re-flashing wipes everything.

    2. Thanks Andrew for helping people out here… i had forgotten to reply him… 🙂

  107. Hi Kapil, thank you for your answer!
    Can I just ask 2 more things please:
    1) Really irritating on my DarkyRom 10.2 is that when I open Contacts/Phone/Msgs for the first time it takes like 3 sec blackscreen at least to open them. After that they are in cash or RAM and they open instanteneously. But after some time, they are killed automatically I guess, and again when I open Contacs – 3 sec lag time, which is so irritating. Same happens with other things like manage apps or similar.
    Is stock 2.3.5 having Contacts to a non kill list or something, so when you use them you don’t have to wait everytime.

    2) I remember when I was on stock 2.1 even, I have Facebook sync, and when I open Contacts and tab Activities – I can see my Facebook contact, or just some Facebook activities happening. Is this working with 2.3.5?

    P.S. I have a friend with 2.2.1 original stock, and she hasn’t done any customizations to her phone, and doesn’t have a lot of programs installed -> and her phone runs way much smoother than mine 2.3.4 customer rom……. ;(
    Hope all will be ok when I flash custom 2.3.5 next week.

    can i bring him to life with that one?

    1. Install the XXJVS again by booting into download mode and follow each step correctly. Don’t worry, it will be okay.

  119. Hi Kapil,

    I’m using i9000 and with Froyo and upgraded to 2.3.4 through Kies.
    I have few thing to clarify

    1) My current F/W is I9000XXJVQ. Kies says its the latest version. Will 2.3.5 (I9000XXJVS) compatible  with my phone ?

    2). If I flash my phone through Odin will I able to use Kies for future updates ?

    3). Is the 2.3.5 still has the lagging problem that i have with my 2.3.4 ?

    Thanks you

    1. 1. It’s compatible.

      2. I think to be compatible with Kies updates, your phone should run the latest firmware available for your region. Since your region has xxjvq available as latest firmware officially, flashing back to jvq should make Kies happy. But, if you flash jvq with different csc file, there might be problem, so I can’t say it would work perfectly.

      3. If you install lots of apps, the phone will slow down and will lag too. Only Galaxy S2 is the phone currently available which would not lag.

      Note: I’ve found xxjvs to be the best firmware for Galaxy S1 — and I use that only on mine. Xxjvt is also out but I don’t like the blue overscroll it got almost everywhere quite wrong.

    2. Wow! Thanks for your Quick reply!

      1). Thanks
      2). If someday XXJVS available with Kies will I able to continue with Kies update again ?
      3). What is the best Lag fixing software you recommend for I9000 ?

      sorry for lots of questions

    3. Don’t worry to much, man. Install JVS and live a happy life. When you need Kies compatibility, flash xxjvq back. I think lagfixes and custom ROMs do not help much. JVS is wonderful and faster than any lagfix I have tried, and that includes almost every lagfix out there.

      Hope it solves your probs 😀

    4. ..so true..xxjvs alone is the best than the other custom roms..thats my opinion…:)..

    5. Thanks Kapil!

      I’ll do it and give you the feedback!

      Thanks again!

    6. Dear Kapil

      I flashed my phone and everything is working fine!

    8. Small Problem Kapil
      The Swipe Keyboard is not giving right words
      for example
      when i type “how are you”
      It comes as Hoe are tast”
      for “Where is my car” as “Wekere is nu var”

      Why this happens ?

  134. Hi Kapil, can I update to XXJVS from ZWJV4 without harm?

  135. Dear Kapil

    This is regarding the Swipe issue.
    I checked the language settings. It was all languages selected.
    I deselect all and select only UK English.

    But still the problem is same…

    1. Well, I still think the problem its with language only. Happened to me too.

    2. Well, I still think the problem its with language only. Happened to me too.

    3. Dear Shivam, Thanks for your reply
      I found the problem.

      Directly swipe language change didnt work but,
      Settings > Applications > Running Services >Swipe >settings > Select Locale
      Change the language here..

      It fixed the problem !

    4. Cool! Btw, I think you went to settings only, by another route. Anyway, if it ever occurs to other users and the 1st solution doesn’t work, I’ll be quick to hand out your solution to them. 😀

    5. Dear Kapil

      What is the quick route to Swipe settings ?

    6. Is there any other way to get the chinese input working please?

  143. Hi Kapil. When will you lead us down the path toward XXJVT and beyond?

    1. XXJVT is little bit ugly, so we didn’t share it. Is there any other new firmware?

    2. Not that I have heard.  It would be wonderful if we could move directly to ICS!!

    3. Making an ICS firmware is Samsung’s job man. We just write a guide in how to install a firmware when it leaked on the internet.

    1. Do as said in the guide above. Don’t do anything else. When you select 512 pit file, you have to keep re-partition checked.

    but i upgrade my phone to this version i havnot persian language?
    please tell me how i have persian/iran language in my phone?
    email : ah_elmbaz@yahoo:disqus .com

    1. Persian language is not available by default. To have it on XXJVS, you’ll need to root it and install ClockWorkMod recovery on it, and then flash a separate .zip file to get farsi/persian language.

      Interested?

    1. I think download mode is disabled on your phone, then. maybe you should buy those $2-5 costing USB Jig at local ebay site, to enter your Galaxy into download mode.

    2. tnx for the tip! but how can i use it? is there any other way to enter my galaxy into download mode without buying or something? tnx buddy!

    3. Search YouTube for this — it’s very easy thing, btw 😉

  217. Hi Kapil,

    I followed your instruction and I upgraded my SGS to XXJVS firmware. After that I root my phone and I installed CM7 as per your guides. Everything went well. Thanks for your well written guides.

    My question is: Can I use the same procedure for installing XXJVS firmware from CM7 using Odin? 

    Thanks.

    1. Yes, Of course. You can install xxjvs from any version of android or from any rom, using that very guide.

    1. Restart PC and phone both. Then try again. Also try another usb port on PC.

    2.  
      yeh i jst done all that a stil no change also after awile my phone screen blacks out while still in download mode, could this be the problem? i also noticed that in your instructions it says to add s1_odin_20100512.pit to the PIT tab and to make sure Re-partition is ticked but in the screen shot u have provided Re- Partition is not ticked and PIT tab is empty?

      sorry if i just being a dumb ass lol i havent done this before 🙂

    3. Ohh… use the pit file. And then, select the re-partition checkbox.

    4. thanks for your fast replys 🙂

    5. What’s your current firmware’s build number? Check in settings – about phone.

    6. i Just tried it one more time and it says in the message box Can’t open the serial(Com) port. while still stuck on set-partition. i hope this means some thing to you :0

      Thanks for your help so far:) 

    7. It’s booting up, right? If yes, check and tell me what’s your current firmware’s build number? Check in settings – about phone.

  229. Hi Kapil this will be my first update so i have a few questionsn1. If i do this update will my internal memory be wiped? n2. Can i do this update from 2.1 stock without the need of any update? n3. Can i do this update with root installed and a lagfix? nHope to hear from u soon.

    1. Hi. I’m an lfc fan too ;)nn1. You’ll loose your apps and data. But won’t loose anything on sdcard. n2. You can update from Android 2.1/2.2.nn3. Yes. No need to remove root or lagfix. These will get removed automatically.

    2. Thanks for the quivk reply much appreciated 😉

    3. Hi again lol but i have a problem i cannot get my phone into download mode using the 3 button combo is there any other way to do it

    4. Use USB Jig — search for it on local eBay or try buying it from any local store. It costs around $2-5. Search YouTube for how to use it.

    5. Thanks for that but my mate just told me another way that is to use android sdk can i use that or will i have to buy a jig

    6. Whichever method works, follow that. 😉

    7. hey kapil if i update via kies do i have to remove root and lagfix???

    8. wow that was a quick answern

    9. so if im being annoying but i want to make sure everything goes right what will happen if i do have a lagfix installed and update via kies

    10. so if im being annoying but i want to make sure everything goes right what will happen if i do have a lagfix installed and update via kiesnn

    11. Kies will not recognize your device. Simple. It won’t update. You can try it yourself.

    12. i meant sorry

    13. it did recognize it

    14. Oh. Better not try it. I’ve never done it. Better disable lagfix from recovery.

    15. how do i do that??? i have ryanza’s oneclicklag fix and it says i dnt have it installed because the memory things dont match so i cant unistalll and i cant install because i only have 4mb of memory left

    16. Then you don’t have it installed. So, don’t bother.nnTo clean everything, simply install the xxjvs from above. Forget everything else and restore your phone to Android 2.3.5 with above.

    17. i updated via kies worked fine :)n

  256. Hi Kapil and All,

    This tutorial is GREAT! I’m new to Android ( I bought my SGS exactly a month ago ) and this is my first flashing too….It works perfectly! I just followed all the instructions and BOOM…I got Gingerbread 2.3.5. LAYAR is the only Apps missing but it doesn’t worry me at all. My next flashing is….ICS/Android 4.0 :-). Thanks Alot for Kapil and the Developers whom working hard for this firmware. I will post again later after next flashing 🙂

    1. Note: LAYAR wasn’t installed automatically, so I found it and installed it manually :-). Also the good thing after everything’s done, the phone is not rooted. So, I think the warranty is still applied 🙂

    1. It’s Volume DOWN + H + P, to go to download mode, when computer will recognize your phone.

  293. I got problem with my SGS after upgrading. For most of the time everything works great, but one, two times a week, i cannot get my phone out of stand-by mode. Normally you press ‘home’ button and LCD turns on, then you can unlock it. My LCD stays black, but phone is still working. I can hear it ringing and i can pick up the calls. The only way to solve the problem is removing battery. It happens completely randomly. I don’t remember certain actions after it happens. I just leave my phone and when i come back and want to use it, i can’t. Did anyone similar problem?

    by the way, i have a question. everytime i had a phone call on-going, i’m just curious, why i can’t open any apps? i can’t even send an sms unless i have a txt msg received and that’s the time that i could send an sms.

    may i ask, is there any way or any other apps on the market that allow us “android users” to open any apps or even sending an sms, etc. while phone call is on-going?

    thanks kapil! and more power!

    by the way, i have a question. everytime i had a phone call on-going, i’m just curious, why i can’t open any apps? i can’t even send an sms unless i have a txt msg received and that’s the time that i could send an sms.

    may i ask, is there any way or any other apps on the market that allow us “android users” to open any apps or even sending an sms, etc. while phone call is on-going?

    thanks kapil! and more power!
