The first Android 2.3.3 ROM for Galaxy S — XXJVK — was leaked in the March end and it was being said that the official roll-out would begin sometime in mid-April, Well, today, April 15 falls in line with that and we’ve a new Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) ROM out, called XWJVB. The ROM has been leaked with two versions, one with_bootloaders and other without_bootloaders — just like JVK versions.

We know you’re curious about the difference between the JVK and JVB, so are we, but hold on till we take a deep dive into the new ROM and find out what’s changed, for good and worse!

Here is more info about the XWJVB:

  • PDA: XWJBV
  • MODEM: XXJVK
  • CSC: NEEJV3 or XEEJV3

We don’t know this for sure but it’s being said XWJVB is the final Gingerbread release Samsung would distribute through Kies. So, if you want to play it very safe, wait — if you can — for Sammy to send it to you via Kies. We would suggest you to check for update using Kies — with any luck to boot, it might be already available to you by now.

For those who don’t get it via Kies and are keen to get it before Sammy throws it out for them, we will shortly put up the installation guide for installing XWJVB, so keep watching this space.

Update: Get the full step-by-step installation guide with video at this post of ours — How to Install XWJVB on Galaxy S.
