I’m not gonna waste time discussing how Samsung decided to say no to updating Galaxy S, including other single core Galaxy phones to Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0, citing hardware limitations. Needless to say, fans were not pleased, resulting in a petition for Samsung to change their minds. Reeling under fan pressure, Samsung decided to release a value pack update that would try to bring some features from ICS, to keep customers happy. Soon after, a value pack firmware was leaked, which bought along a few nice features and additions.

Well, after almost 3 months, Samsung has made good on their promise and finally officially released the final value pack firmware with XXJW4, based on Android 2.3.6. And for those that wanted it, Samsung have finally included TouchWiz (TW) 4, their improved TW UI that debuted with the Galaxy S2. Other additions and improvements are also pretty good, showing that Samsung actually worked hard to give users something they’ll like.

Here’s a look at all the features and improvements in the firmware:

  • Face Unlock
  • New Kernel with huge RAM (Total RAM: 364 MB)
  • Galaxy S II ICS Lockscreen
  • Photo Editor
  • Built-in TouchWiz 4
  • Improved Camera UI + Can capture pictures while shooting a video
  • Auto-Rotation is fast – Fast switching from portrait to landscape
  • Overall speed improvements
  • GPU Performance slightly increased

Now, without further ado, lets take a look at how you can flash the new XXJW4 value pack firmware on your Galaxy S.

Compatibility

This firmware and the guide below are compatible only and only with the Samsung Galaxy S, model number GT-i9000. It’s not compatible with any other device and may render an incompatible device unusable. Check your device model in Settings » About phone.

Warning!

The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don’t know completely what it is. If any damage occurs to your device, we won’t be held liable.

Pre-Installation Requirements

  • This procedure will wipe all your apps, data and settings (but it will NOT touch your SD cards, so don’t worry about those). Backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you.
  • If you have Samsung’s PC software Kies installed, un-install/shut it down completely from the taskbar first because it may interrupt the flashing process.
  • Drivers! — it’s important you’ve the proper drivers installed. Download links below:

How to Install XXJW4 Value Pack Firmware on Galaxy S

  1. Download the XXJW4 firmware.
    Download Link  |  Filename: I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip  |  Size: 170 MB
  2. Now, extract the downloaded file I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip (from step 1) to any folder, you’ll get these 2 files:
    1. JW4_JW4_JW4.tar
    2. SS_DL.dll (ignore this file)
  3. Download Odin which we will be using to flash XXJW4 on the phone.
    Download Link  | Filename: Odin3 v1.7.exe
  4. Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC.  Then switch it off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
  5. Boot into recovery. To do this, press and hold the Volume_UP + Home + Power till the screen turns on, then let them go. You will boot into recovery soon enough.
  6. Now, using the volume keys to navigate and the home/power key to select options, select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm. After the data wipe is complete, remove and re-insert the battery, but don’t power it back on.
  7. Now, put the Galaxy S in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN + Home + Power until a screen saying Download Mode comes up.
  8. Open Odin (downloaded in step 3) — Odin3 v1.7.exe.
  9. Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added!!” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve proper drivers installed. See point 3 above under Pre-Installation Requirements.
  10. Now, in Odin, click the PDA Tab, and select the file JW4_JW4_JW4.tar (from step 2.1)
  11. Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 10.
  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.
    IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck at some stage and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, do this — disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 8. Same if you get a FAIL message in Odin.
  13. In case you encounter any roadblocks flashing XXJW4, let us know in the comments below and we’ll try to help you out.
  14. Also, in case you wanna root it and install (cwm) clockworkmod recovery on your Galaxy S with XXJW4 firmware, check this page.

Once the phone boots up (first boot will take up to 5 minutes), you’ll be running the official value pack firmware on your Galaxy S i9000, with access to all the new features as listed above. Do let us know how the firmware works and whether you like it or not, in the comments below.

    2) Auto-Rotation is fast – Fast switching from portrait to landscape / Overall speed improvements/ GPU Performance slightly increasedAre total bullshit of xda idiots with no basic knowledge – speed increase comes from A FRESH SYSTEM INSTALL
    as for download links use fast download not hotfile waiting files / speed depended on overall hotfile traffic

      Hi kapil, thanks for replying. However the procedure above says to select one file PDA, what about other files like CSC or Modem etc ..are those not required ? Secondly, if i flash this thru odin, will kies recognize this when i’ll plug my phone to lappy ? Please let me know …m bit worried as this is first ever time i m goonna try n flash thru odin .
      Thanks

      yeh, when using odin you can upgrade from any ROM. backup your data and apps(if you want to) & follow the instructions mentioned above.

      See, the other files, Phone, CSC, etc. are not required with this one. XXJW4 is meant for some countries only (I guess, UK, Ireland, etc.) so if you are not from tat country, or if it wasn’t launched yet in your country, you may lose Kies update. You can get the Kies update back, by flashing a firmware meant for your country. And don’t worry, Odin is pretty easy.

      Your saying is giving me confidence and i feel i should give it a try now. Btw is it worth upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6? Is it better in performance and no lags n all ? Can you please tell me some noticeable peformance increment in this firmware ?

  4. Guest Avatar

    if you are flashing 4 files (ie PDA, Phone, CSC & pit) then you need those 4 files. However if you are flashing a tar file then only one file selection is needed (ie PDA). Make sure kies is closed. kill the ‘kies’ process in the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del).

    I got the bootloop problem aswell. Removed battery, tried wipe/factory reset but this keeps getting red msg: E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10

    I guess this is the issue cause I still can’t get past the boot screen.

      i think, this is an essential step (you should add in your tutorial)….i also went into bootloop, tried everything. Then i Went back to xxjvu and then to xxjw4. That solved my problem.

      Thanks kapil.
      Is there anyway to convert to ext4?

      Krishna

      Well, there is a way. You gotta root it first. Search for root xxjw4 — https://nerdschalk.com/xxjw4-root-and-clockworkmod-recovery-for-galaxy-s/– and
      then open the Tweaks app which you get along with the CWM app, after rooting. Tweaks app will allow you to convert to EXT4. Try this.

    well guys if u are having any boot problems, then google for sock ROMs eg. ‘JVS’ or ‘JVT’ thereafter get the appropriate CF Root for the ROM extension as downloaded. You gotta do the long way..trust me even i had to do this way when i skipped one of the step where I was earlier on ICS for my galaxy S..i1900. Once u have root it then go to recovery and do a factory/data reset and once done just remove of the batt as no need to reboot. Afterwhich place back ur batt and then go to update ur Odin to the latest XXJW4 ROM upon reset from the previous ROM..once u placed the ROM into the PDA tab then go to ur phone into download mode and subsequently hitching it thru ur USB to get Odin to recognize it..once added..just hit the start button..once done successfully the phone will reset..into the latest ROM and once again go to Odin for rooting…hope this short illustration helps…

    Hey. I’m coming to this ROM from the CM7 stable mod for i9000. While flashing with odin, it’s getting stuck at SetupConnection. Is there something in particular i’m missing/overlooking here? please help me out as I wanna try this ROM out ASAP. Thx in advance 🙂

    Update: Ok, I got past the setup connection issue, but now i’m having a boot loop problem. It’s not going past the boot screen. Can you please help me out here?

      Remove battery, place it back and see if boots up. Otherwise, also do a factory reset from recovery and then it should boot.

    I got the bootloop problem aswell. Removed battery, tried wipe/factory reset but this keeps getting red msg: E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10

    I guess this is the issue cause I still can’t get past the boot screen.

        i think, this is an essential step (you should add in your tutorial)….i also went into bootloop, tried everything. Then i Went back to xxjvu and then to xxjw4. That solved my problem.

    I installed  XXJW4 Value Pack to upgrade my Galaxy S to Gingerbread 2.3.6. from Android Geeks so my query may not be relevant.

    The RAM on the phone is 320 MB and not 364 MB ?

    By the way running Launcher Pro seems to run phone smoother and faster than Touchwiz ?

    I’m running stock 2.3.6 with voodoo kernel, root and ext4 enabled. Is there anything apart from disabling ext4 that I have to do before following the above steps to flash this Rom. Thanks

      Since it’s a firmware, I guess you can install it even without disabling the ext4. But if you’ve already disabled it, no problem, your are more safe.

      Other than that, make sure you’ve disabled the pin security thing on sin card change in settings. Some people set the pin and then forget which causes problems.

    Hi
    I’m running XXJVU (rooted).
    Can I just follow the above instructions to install / root the value pack ? nothing else needed?
    I saw on another posting that after flashing it, phone should be put into recovery mode and select wipe data/factory reset and cache/partition – to remove old firmware. Is this step needed please?

      Don’t worry. Do this: Remove battery for 4-5 seconds and then place it back. Install XXJVS firmware first from this page – https://nerdschalk.com/download-install-xxjvs-firmware-update-galaxy-s-i9000-to-android-2-3-5/

    Dear Kapil, 

    Thank you for your useful tutorial.
    But unfortunately  I can not connect my Galaxy S to odin. 

    I have downloaded all the necessary drivers and software as per your suggestion and install. 

    After rebooting as download mode, odin didn’t recognize the phone (although I have install the drivers for windows).

    But charging through USB is ok. 

    I do not have Kies (though i tried with kies but it can’t recognize my phone and after that i uninstall kies and re-install windows). 
     
    My windows version is win7.

    Can you help me in this regard.

      Restart PC. Power off phone. Remove battery for 5 seconds and then place it back and then go to download mode. Now, try again. Also, try other USB ports on PC, if the above didn’t work, otherwise you’ll have to use somebody else’s PC.

    Recently I see my display blinkig/lines on my display always moving. I don’t understand this is for hardware problem or not. I tries reset and remove the batter for while. But nothing happened. 
    Can you help me in this regard?
    Best Regards,

      Nope.. only when you use .pit file in PIT box, should you tick repartition box, not otherwise.

      so the video tutorial is correct tht i dnt need to tick the repartition button ? can i follow it ?

      i dnt understand wht u mean as the vdo tutorial also used the .pit file but didnt ticked the repartition button thts where im confused alot =/

      Then there is some mistake in video. What I said above is 100% right.

      And if pit file is selected but repartition is not ticked, then Odin ignores the pit file, and no harm done. But if you don’t select pit file but rock repatition, that’s a problem then, Odin will get stuck.

      You know, it’s very simple. just follow the steps above and forget everything else. Don’t do anything extra, don’t do anything less.. just do all steps above and you’ll be fine.

      That said, just in case and only if Galaxy S doesn’t boot up after you get PASS in Odin, reboot to recovery mode and do factory reset from there. Then, restart the device.

      Well, in case you are still stuck, remove battery for 4-5 seconds and then place it back, don’t restart phone, restart PC, use PC another USB plug to connect phone to computer (if you have desktop, try the USB plug at the rear), Open Odin, Boot phone into download mode and try again.

    I tried everything as you described. but the phone doesnt automatically go on reboot mode after “PASS” appears on Odin. also, when I manually select the reboot on mobile, it keeps on rebooting. it has been more than 20 mins and it is still rebooting

    Boot loop solved:
    if you guys are stuck in boot loop after flashing xxjw4, you need to flash dbdata.tar as well.
    i uploaded it here:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/80130275/dbdata.tar
    after flashing xxjw4 go to download mode and flash dbdata.tar and thats it, your phone will boot normally.
    i had the same problem on my SGS I9000 and it is solved now.

    Flashing another firmware:

    if you dont want xxjw4 anymore, root and install cwm as shown here:
    https://nerdschalk.com/xxjw4-root-and-clockworkmod-recovery-for-galaxy-s/
    now you can install everything else

    Will this work with my Galaxy S I9000B? (Not the international version) …what features could I loose? If it is only the TV then I don’t really care, I never use it

    1. Guest Avatar

      I did it and almost screwed my phone as the touch screen did not work. I SOLVED IT by flashing only the kernel with one compatible with this rom and my device I9000B. I used this kernel: Semaphore 2.7.4 for the i9000b.

      I was trying to upgrade my i9000 using the Kies and apparently the upgrade failed and my phone for soft bricked… obviously Kies could not recover (shitty software) and my phone was stuck on Download mode. Ended up here using google and decided to give this a go as my phone was out of warranty anyways.

      This worked brilliantly and was pretty easy to do too. Now my cellphones a lot faster then before and GUI looks better to the eye too. No problems faced here at all after the upgrade.

      thank you for this information, but, how i do to update my Galaxy S I9000B??

    2. Guest Avatar

      This won’t work with i9000B. I didn’t know that and flashed it anyway, and the touch screen stopped working. To fix it, I had to flash a compatible kernel, fortunately I was able to enter download mode for this. Now it works fine but I have some problems like lagging sometimes and also the phone sometimes just crashes and restarts. I still like the update though, but if I had known I could have killed my phone I wouldn’t have done it

    This release works and is far better than the stock firmware, although it gave some small issues after flashing it, like the boot loop issue but was fixed by flashing the dbdata. One thing bad about it is that it has intermittent screen flashing issues which requires you end all task to stop it, but overall I like the firmware and all the added features

      change ur launcher. it seems to be an issue with Touchwiz.

    Thanks a lot AndroidSoul. My Samsung Galaxy GT I9000 works perfectly now. I followed the procedure exactly and it smoothly happened. The phone reboots into recovery mode first for a few seconds and then eventually the phone starts. Though t takes 5 minutes but this wait was worth it. The phone now feels smooth and fast which previously needed several tapping and waiting to do any normal task. Thanks a lot.

    Though I have a problem. When I open the market it says “Authentication Required. Please log into your Google Account.” and Gmail says “Your mails will appear shortly” which never did.

      Turn off the phone, boot into recovery by pressing Volume Up + Home + Power, wipe data/factory reset, then restart. It should boot up alright.
