UPDATE 2: A new Android 2.3.3 Firmware (XWJVH) for Galaxy S i9000 has leaked. And we’ve posted installation instructions for it too. Enjoy! [link below]

How To Install XWJVH on your Galaxy S i9000

UPDATE: We will keep updating this page for other XWJVB stuff — ROMs, Mods, Hacks, Root, etc — as and when they get posted. So, keep watching this space, exciting stuff coming soon.

  • How to Root XWJVB using Chainfire’s method.
  • More links to be added later, when available………

Well, there is new Android 2.3.3 ROM — XWJVB — for Galaxy S on the block and we’ve already got it booting on our Galaxy S. If you want it too, here what you can do to get it.

But, warnings first, as always:

[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. Do this only if you’re capable of getting your phone back right on your own. If any damage occurs to you or your device, we won’t be held liable. You only will be responsible — you’ve been warned. Okay![/warning]

[info]This guide is applicable only for Samsung Galaxy S international version (i9000). If yours is Vibrant/Captivate/Fascinate/Epic 4G or any other Galaxy S variant, then this ROM — and Guide — is not for you, and that’s for definite.[/info]

You may already know that this ROM is available in two versions: one with_bootloaders and the other without_bootloaders. Flashing with_bootloaders version is considered riskier than without_bootloaders. But you have to flash with_bootloaders because this is required by Android 2.3, unless you’ve already done that while installing earlier leaked ROMs — XWJV1 or XXJVK. If you haven’t installed JV1 or JVK with bootloaders, you have to install XWJVB with_bootloaders.

We’ve tried this ROM with_bootloaders version and would recommend the same to you. If you’re confused, simply download and install the with_bootloaders version.

XWJVB Installation Video

 

Follow these step-by-step guide to Install XWJVB Android 2.3.3 ROM on your Galaxy S:

  1. Download XWJVB with_bootloaders version. File name — GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe. Download Link. Size: 155.64 MB.  [If you already have Android 2.3 bootloaders, download XWJVB without_bootloaders version. File name — GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3.exe. Download Link. Size: 155.41 MB. Apply the procedures below accordingly.]
  2. Double click ‘GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe’ and select Extract to let the file extract its contents in the folder “GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl” — you’ll get 3 files in this folder:
    1. CSC_NEE_JV3.tar.md5,
    2. PDA_XWJVB_Sbl.tar.md5 and
    3. PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5.
  3. Download Odin3 v1.7.zip from here — Mediafire Link. Extract the zip file to get Odin3 v1.7.exe.
  4. Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC.
  5. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
  6. Now, put it in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
  7. Open Odin (from step 3). Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under the Odin’s message box.
  8. Important, uncheck the ‘Re-Partition’ button. While, keep ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F. Reset Time’ boxes checked.
  9. In Odin, place these files (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
    1. In the PDA box, select this file (from step 2.2) — PDA_XWJVB_Sbl.tar.md5
    2. In the Phone box, select this file (from step 2.3) — PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5
    3. In the CSC box, select this file (from step 2.1) — CSC_NEE_JV3.tar.md5
    4. Leave the PIT box empty.
  10. Double check everything said in step 7, 8 and 9 above.
  11. Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
  12. When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot. You can unplug the cable now.
  13. When your phone has restarted, you are on the XWJVB running Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). Congrats!
  14. Check your phone’s version by here: Press Options -> Settings -> Scroll down and select About Phone -> Scroll down and check your version.

XWJVB ROM Highlights


[valid] Want to get root access on XWJVB? Well, just wait a little bit till we come up with a guide (using chainfire’s root method) for that too. [/valid]

[info]If you experience any problem in installing the ROM with the steps given above, try flashing the ROM again, but with 512 PIT file this time. Download the Pit file from here. Extract the downloaded file to get the Pit File. Then, select the Pit file in Odin’s Pit box this time (step 9.4 above) and keep the ‘Re-Partition’ box (in step 8 above) checked too. All other things same as in steps given above.[/info]

      A única diferença que notei foi ter perdido o t9 português (obviamente a mais grave), e repararam um bug que quando se ouvia musica com o ecrã desligado as teclas de volume não funcionavam… agora já funcionam.

    Thank you for the guide .. Just flashed my SGS from XXJVK to XXJVB without bootloaders. After rebooting I can see some of my applications are there still. I didn’t wiped my phone .. but those application gave me force close error.. so I uninstalled and reinstalled those apps and everything is working fine .. I felt XXJVB is faster and smoother than XXJVK .. Need to check the battery ..

      @ghost.bhoot2k – Available RAM is less compared to 2.2.1 and XXJVK(2.3.3) .. It is showing in between 212 to 260. But the phone is fast compared to the previous versions 🙂

      I think one should still stick to 2.2.1 xwjs8 deodex rom with gingermix theme and voodoo or speedmod lagfix…….
      benchmark-1600 plus
      awsome speed,no lagfix at all
      free ram – >240
      battery back up is like heaven…>24hrs with heavy 3g and wifi usage with transparent theme
      maildroid works fine
      and so on…….

    I’ve uninstalled and re-installed the apps that are being affected but still the same force close issues.

      do a factory reset after installing xwjvb and DONT put the backed up applications……of course ur data will be lost

      Thanks, I’ll give that a go.

    demerits of xwjvb——
    1. email apk goes back to 2.1 eclair
    2. no new market is placed.instead market updater is placed
    3. wifi is again 2.1 eclair based
    4. cant configure an stable yahoomail
    5. less free ram—-hangs like anything while multiple app are opened
    6. more force closes
    7. cant deodex…soooooo sad
    8. no stable kernel yet
    9. cant apply lagfix—benchmark-around 900 only
    and so on……..let a good stable version be out.
    TRYING HARD TO CONFIGURE A GOOD STABLE CUSTOM ROM.WISH ME BEST OF LUCK…..

    Hey guys listen listen…this rom is not the original gingerbread update but the COOKED one released by samfirmware as
    1. I have checked through hacked kies,there is no such release of 2.3.3. The latest in Europe is still 2.2.1 xxjpy in some countries and xwjs8 in others.
    2. The original gingerbread is based on ext4 whereas this fake release of samfirmware is still rfs.
    3. Read my previous post-it has used 2.1 eclair for few apks which itself proves that its a fake rom.
    4. Modem used is still JVK……i think you people are wise enough to decide the part of jvk…???
    So please dont be in a hurry to wipe all your datas and install 2.3.3 xwjvb.Let the kies release be oht either in your country or uploaded on samfirmware.

    Hi Kapil,

    I’ve one question. As per your instruction there is no need to tick re partition option in Odin. However as per samfirmware guide, always use Pit & re partition option while flashing rom with three files.

    I am totally confused on this part. I am using Froyo 2.2 updated through Kies only. Never install any other rom. What should i do.

    Thanks..

    1. Guest Avatar

      I wil giv you the key of your doubt becoz i am THE BHOOT having all the keys.just remember one thing…….
      Pit file is used for partitioning your device for the FIRST TIME meaningby if you are flashing your device with 2.2.1xwjs3 for the first time just tick repartition.but when you upgrade with same version 2.2.1 xwjs8 then you are not supposed to tick repartition as your device has already been repartitioned with 2.2.1 version.
      Likewise if you are installing 2.3.3 xwjsb for the first time just tick repartition but if you are upgrading from 2.3.3 xxjvk to xwjvb then no need to tick it…..

    Mr Bhoot. Thanks for your help. But are you sure that this is not the official ROM..Should we try this or wait to get it through Kies only.

    I am really bored of this 2.2 :(==

    1. Guest Avatar

      Sry for interrupting the conversation between you and Mr. cool-bhoot, but I think if you’re really bored of Android 2.2, XWJVB is worth it — go for the with_bootloaders version, since I think this will be your first partition. You can do with or without PIT files, both options worked pretty well on my SGS. BTW, why don’t you try some custom ROMs, hmm?

    2. Guest Avatar

      100 % sure…if you want to double check it just patch your kies with 2. registry and go for product code xee and nee.it will show you the latest update in european countries…..after double checking please do reply…

  34. Guest Avatar

    Quick question: my phones 3-button combo fix wasn’t worked so I installed a 3-combo fix. Will the with_bootloader version mess with my fix or will it stay intact?

    1. Guest Avatar

      No idea — 🙁

    2. Guest Avatar

      The “with_bootloader” will not remove your 3-button combo fix. I did the same thing and then flashed the “with_bootloader” to correct the graphical error I got after the fix. I still have the 3-button combo in my beloved SGS.

    3. Guest Avatar

      wait a second dear….dont be confused…i will explain everything to u becoz i am THE BHOOT
      bootloaders are internal programmes which are locked and unlocked by factory.fortunately our galaxy s european version is not locked one however newer mobiles and tabs are coming with locked bootloaders.now when you are flashing any rom you are free to flash with or without bootloaders.however some fake (2.3.3 xxjvk and xwjvb beta version) roms with bootloaders are programmed in such a way that it gets locked..(unusable)….so better not to put bootloaders with FAKE ROMS.

    Samsung’s update to the Galaxy S Gingerbread – withheld by Google.

    JVB/JVK FAIL !!!

    1. Guest Avatar

      Not complete Fail, many users — including me — are enjoying the JVB — it’s cool!

    2. Guest Avatar

      Fail because:

      1. Battery drain (lot of people complain),
      2. Someone can use your account to buy sth @ Market
      3. Low scores in benchmarks
      4. Google withheld samsung updates.

      Great because:

      1. If you like(chose) you can use 2.3.3 on GS
      2. They share source and guys from XDA started making “kitchen”
      3. Your own reason.

      But anyway you guys are doing great job. Thanks to your posts i started updating my GS via Odin, Great job again. Thx

      Sorry for my english…

    Mr Bhoot. Thanks for your help. But are you sure that this is not the official ROM..Should we try this or wait to get it through Kies only.

    I am really bored of this 2.2 :(==

    1. Kapil Avatar

      Sry for interrupting the conversation between you and Mr. cool-bhoot, but I think if you’re really bored of Android 2.2, XWJVB is worth it — go for the with_bootloaders version, since I think this will be your first partition. You can do with or without PIT files, both options worked pretty well on my SGS. BTW, why don’t you try some custom ROMs, hmm?

    2. ghost Avatar

      100 % sure…if you want to double check it just patch your kies with 2. registry and go for product code xee and nee.it will show you the latest update in european countries…..after double checking please do reply…

    Quick question: my phones 3-button combo fix wasn’t worked so I installed a 3-combo fix. Will the with_bootloader version mess with my fix or will it stay intact?

    1. Kapil Avatar

      No idea — 🙁

    2. Christoffer Avatar

      The “with_bootloader” will not remove your 3-button combo fix. I did the same thing and then flashed the “with_bootloader” to correct the graphical error I got after the fix. I still have the 3-button combo in my beloved SGS.

    3. ghost Avatar

      wait a second dear….dont be confused…i will explain everything to u becoz i am THE BHOOT
      bootloaders are internal programmes which are locked and unlocked by factory.fortunately our galaxy s european version is not locked one however newer mobiles and tabs are coming with locked bootloaders.now when you are flashing any rom you are free to flash with or without bootloaders.however some fake (2.3.3 xxjvk and xwjvb beta version) roms with bootloaders are programmed in such a way that it gets locked..(unusable)….so better not to put bootloaders with FAKE ROMS.

    Samsung’s update to the Galaxy S Gingerbread – withheld by Google.

    JVB/JVK FAIL !!!

    1. Kapil Avatar

      Not complete Fail, many users — including me — are enjoying the JVB — it’s cool!

      1. Modrzej Avatar
        Modrzej

        Fail because:

        1. Battery drain (lot of people complain),
        2. Someone can use your account to buy sth @ Market
        3. Low scores in benchmarks
        4. Google withheld samsung updates.

        Great because:

        1. If you like(chose) you can use 2.3.3 on GS
        2. They share source and guys from XDA started making “kitchen”
        3. Your own reason.

        But anyway you guys are doing great job. Thanks to your posts i started updating my GS via Odin, Great job again. Thx

        Sorry for my english…

      hi sir,so finally u have decided to downgrade.i will give you a full tutorial how to install 2.2 via odin and via kies.but before that i would like to know what all problems you faced with this fake rom????and one more thing i would like to know that which country update you want to install–germany or australia or sweden or india or china or any other??????

    2. Guest Avatar

      Hey, I’ve already posted a guide, which is very good, I suppose. Use the EZRom to downgrade to Android 2.2.1. This ROM is pretty complete and would also take care of Android 2.2 bootloaders — so, use this ROM to go back to Android 2.2.

    Hi Bhoot, so finally its proved to be a fake rom. Yaar but why the hell they did all this drama. And Samsung is still sleeping like a lazy ..ssss. Btw which rom are you using?

    1. Guest Avatar

      I’d flash 2.3.3 from Kies that was faster than this cooked rom from samfirmwares. Is it true that 2.3.3 for Galaxy S is going to get Ext4 in Stock-release???

    2. Guest Avatar

      what 2.3.3??? this is just the nomenclature…if you want i can give a rom named 3.1 HONEYCOMB or 4.2.1 ICECREAM which will be displayed under ABOUT PHONE.it does not mean that galaxy has got honeycomb or icecream.its very easy to alter the things once you know how to play with framework and how to configure a rom.

  62. Guest Avatar

    ok i wanna know these things: kapil / bhoot / anyone pls help:

    1. does this rom really f-up the three button combo?
    2. xxjvk’s battery life sucked big time drained in six hrs without doing much. how is xwjvb’s battery life?
    3. i’ve seen kapil’s guide to downgrading to 2.2 using EZrom. bhoot, can u actually provide links to installation guides to ur said 2.2 downgrades? I could use the Australia version.
    4. Also is there such a downgrade available that can let me upgrade to Samsung’s 2.3 whenever they release?
    5. Can smbdy link me to a different/latest/better guide to upgrading to darky’s extreme edition? i tried a few times from a forum at darky’s page. Everything goes fine til the final reboot when i get stuck forever at the boot animation logo. help? suggestions? advice?

    1. Guest Avatar

      1. No! — as far as I know
      2. Better
      3. & 5. EZRom is good. It’s pre-rooted and recovery already installed. To switch to darky’s ROM, just download the ROM and put it on sd card and then using recovery on your EZRom, flash darky’s ROM. Simple!
      4. It’s hard to say you can get perfect solution to become friend with Kies again. I don’t know for sure but this is what I could recommend. First, on the samfirmware.com download the latest ROM released in your country and then. install it using ODIN. Make sure while downgrading you use EZRom first and then the country-specific official ODIN ROM. Another thing you can try is using Doc’s kitchen to cook a ROM for yourself with components being what Samsung has latest issued in your specific country/area.

      Hope it helps!

    2. Guest Avatar

      1. 3 button combo works fine as our mobiles are not having locked bootloaders.
      2. battery life is better than xxjvk but far poor than 2.2.1 xxjpy and xwjs8
      4. for upgrading via kies you must have factory provided rom not the coocked one.for INU (india) it is DDJF3 2.1 update1 eclair updated via kies to JP6 2.2 froyo.if you are using this one then only your kies will detect and let you upgrade to 2.3.3 when it arrives in your country.
      5. please use the most stable version of darky that is 9.3 extreme.if you go for 9.4,9.5 or 10 problems will appear.secondly use speedmod kernel under darky configurator.
      3. for downgrading you can easily use EZROM but it wont provide you the factory built rom so one has to go to samsung care for installing DDJF3 2.1 update1 as its not available anywhere else.

    3. Guest Avatar

      Thanks for all the info guys! If samsung ever comes up with an official gingerbread, i’ll try that out via eclair-froyo-ginger. If not, i’ll try out darky’s 9.3 and so on. let’s see what happens. So far i’m happy with this xwjvb. thanks again.

      NO you must NOT tick the “Phone Bootloader Update” box, and “re-partition” is optional but if you plan to tick it then make sure you’re inserting a “.pit” file in the “PIT” box.

    Hi,

    I want to make sure that I won’t mesh up upgrading my SGS from 2.1 to 2.3.3.

    In order for me to follow procedure easily is to understand what are the files involve. My inquiries are:

    1. when do i need the pit file? In your procedure no pit file selected but in some other posts in the web you need to have the pit file as well as tick the Re-partition box.
    2. is it safe with your procedure w/o the pit file upgrading from 2.1 to 2.3.3?

    Thanks a lot

    1. Shivam Avatar

      Download the PIT file from here — http://www.mediafire.com/?2g3pdjd88cj8nz0 [It’s a .zip file so first extract it, you’ll get the following file “s1_odin_20100512.pit”]

      Now in Step 8 of this tutorial tick the “Re-partition” box, and then in Step 9 click on the “PIT” box and select the “s1_odin_20100512.pit” file.

      That should get you safely upgraded to 2.3.3 🙂

      Thanks for everything, however I’ve got one issue re: operation of the phone.

      Sometimes there is no fluidness. You can recognize that when opening some application. Is the issue due to the old data that is still in the phone? Do I have to wipe the data/factory reset or the cache partition? Which one should I consider?

            Hello again Shivam!

            Thanks for everything, however I’ve got one issue re: operation of the phone.

            Sometimes there is no fluidness. You can recognize that when opening some application. Is the issue due to the old data that is still in the phone? Do I have to wipe the data/factory reset or the cache partition? Which one should I consider?

            Thanks

      I think you should disable lagfix before you proceed. If you want help with that, here’s the link — https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-disable-lagfix-on-galaxy-s-i9000-instructions/

      If it’s not in your recovery then it means you don’t have any lagfix installed on your phone. So buddy you’re good to flash XWJVB.

    Hi, I´ve followed the guide precisely, but something went wrong and ODIN failed.
    I was trying to flash GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl with bootloaders and now I can´t get anywhere besides Download mode from which I am not able to flash anything.. ODIN either hangs or woes about “PIT partition”. I´ve tried to use 512PIT too. As far as I can tell the device is not bricked since it´s not showing the “black screen of death”. Originally I was running Juwe 1.9 XWJS8 ROM without any lagfix. I am kind of hopeless now and would be grateful for any clue or guide.
    Any help appreciated!

    1. Shivam Avatar

      That’s unexpected but anyway you can try the following methods:

      Method 1:
      Try again using ODIN v1.3, download from here http://www.mediafire.com/?0uqsgfq0dlskx3u
      and, 512PIT from here http://www.mediafire.com/?t4427gu89s79184
      And remember when we select a PIT file we must also tick the “Re-Partition” check box in Odin.

      Method 2:
      If method 1 doesn’t help, then flash the EZBase ROM using the guide below:
      https://nerdschalk.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/

      And after flashing the EZBase ROM try flashing the XWJVB again, but use ODIN v1.3 this time, and also use the 512PIT [I’ve given the links in Method 1]

      Hope it helps. Good luck 🙂

    confused.. do i need to flash w/o bootloaders version after installing the w/ bootloaders version?

    1. Krishna Avatar

      Hell no. Android 2.3 bootloaders are required when you’re installing the Android 2.3 for the first time, not again — that’s why we need to use the with_bootloaders file in the beginning. When you intend to flash a new Android 2.3 JVB, you can install using the without_bootloaders version.

      But in no case both versions are required to be flashed.

      Hope it helps.

    Hey, this guide ROCKS.
    I was on Darky extreme 9.5 and it was good, but got scared that I wasn’t going to be able to upgrade when Samsung/Google FINALLY release 2.3… to us. So, I flashed this ROM using odin. It was really easy, I then rooted using chainfire kernel and made sure busybox is working, so as to be able to restore my Angry Birds progress (very important).
    So, it’s all good. Battery life is SUPERB compared to Darky (but Darky is very cool and I am sure that all that coolness needs more power). I don’t really think Google have fixed the SGS GPS nightmare in this release. Mine still only gets to about 10m accuracy.
    However. It is a good rom and thank you for your work on it.

      There are not much differences between the two ROMs apart from the fact that XWJVB is the latest one. But users have reported that XWJVB has better battery performance & stability as compared to XXJVK.

      So you did the right thing. I’d have recommended you to do the same — flash the XWJVB over XXJVK 😉

      Anyway glad you got it working.

    Hi, I followed the instructions and I get a ‘pass’ in odin, however when I reboot my phone it just loops at the SGS start up screen!! please help!?!?

    I hold onto vol up+ power + home button and it takes me to recovery. It then displays the following message:

    # Manual mode #

    applying Multi CSC
    Installing Multi CSC
    Can’t access to ‘/system/csc/VOD/system/’.
    Successfully applied multi-CSC.

    can anyone help please??

    thanks!

      Try doing a factory reset if you’re able to boot into Recovery.
      Or you can use the EZBase ROM to painlessly update your phone to Android 2.3.3 XWJVB ROM. Here’s the link — https://nerdschalk.com/ezbase-rom-v3-0-full-installation-guide-w-video/

        Thanks for your reply Shivam!

        However I tried the process again using GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK_Sbl and it worked! could you tell me what the difference between GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK_Sbl and GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl are and why the former worked?

        update: I tried the odin method again with GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl and all seems fine now!

        thanks

          There are not much differences between the two ROMs apart from the fact that XWJVB is the latest one. But users have reported that XWJVB has better battery performance & stability as compared to XXJVK.

          So you did the right thing. I’d have recommended you to do the same — flash the XWJVB over XXJVK 😉

    Hi guys!
    Just flashed a week ago this Rom and really happy with it. Meantimes (from today actually) I am a happy owner of a Galaxy s II. So I passed my galaxy s to my wife. The problem is that I cannot perform the factory reset for some reason, and this phone is still stuck to my gmail account which I cannot remove. Some ideas?
    I would like to have a full wipe of the phone — apps, data, everithing. Only pure gingerbread.
    Can u help?

      Well if you’re having problem with factory reset — and you want to have a full wipe — then a simple solution would be to flash the whole ROM again on your phone using the guide above.

      And BTW congratulations for Galaxy S II 🙂

      Ok, flashed it again. No I have a bigger problem:it wont work with my tree mobile sim. No data, no calls, nothing. I put a tmobile sim inside and it works fine. Called the guys from technical support, went to three store… They say it is a problem of the pphone. For some reason my phone does’t accept three mobile (they have a special network?) but accepts for ex. t mobile. What should I do?
      And yeah: Galaxy S II is awesome, never seen anything better!!!

      That’s good that you’ve i9000. You can try this ROM. There are no other requirements before flashing the JVB (no root is required!). Just make sure that your phone is able to enter download mode, because it’s a must to use Odin. That’s it.

    Ok, flashed it again. No I have a bigger problem:it wont work with my tree mobile sim. No data, no calls, nothing. I put a tmobile sim inside and it works fine. Called the guys from technical support, went to three store… They say it is a problem of the pphone. For some reason my phone does’t accept three mobile (they have a special network?) but accepts for ex. t mobile. What should I do?And yeah: Galaxy S II is awesome, never seen anything better!!!

      It does hv Swype with of course English language. I am using one right now,
      actually. To use swype, hold the text input space first. You will get a
      pop-up of options. Select “Input method” and then select Swype — that’s it.
      Enjoy!

    Does this work for any Network Provider?
    Some of the comments above seem to suggest it only works for T-Mobile?
    I’m on Orange.

    Also, on my SGS currently I am rooted on 2.2 Froyo, does that make a difference? Do I need to perform the procedure described here from a stock phone without root?

    My phone bricked with these symptoms any help:
    cannot power on
    cannot get into restore mode by holding volume down+camera+power
    cannot get into download mode by holding power + 1 on the keypad
    cannot get into download mode by shorting pins 4 and 5 with 301kohm resistance

    any other ideas?  I think i may have to JTAG it to get it working but that I don’t know how to do exactly need help.

    2. Guest Avatar

      sorry, the Samsung Epic 4g.  I gave up on it.  I haven’t found anything about JTAG settings as far as memory location for the bootloader, memory location for the application, device Id I think I found.  My choices to unbrick it right now are send it to someone and pay the $40 to do it for me, or buy the automatically setup RIFF JTAG device for $150.  I am pretty sure I hosed the bootloader which is why you have to run JTAG to install some type of bootloader and go from there.
