UPDATE 1: If you’re experiencing graphics related problem, then that’s probably because you’re upgrading from an Android 2.2 Froyo build. So to solve your graphical issues you’ll have to flash XXJVK with bootloaders, you can download it from here. Installation process is similar, just use the file with bootloaders.

UPDATE 2: For everyone who is having graphical issues, download & flash the ROM with bootloaders from here — named “GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK_Sbl.exe”, Size: 146.72 MB. Installation process is similar.

UPDATE 3: The post has been edited to replace the JVK Download links with the its with_bootloaders version. It’s been said that the with_bootloaders version is a bit risky, but if you want to install the custom ROMs and do other stuff, you’re gonna need it anyway. Also, users who tried the without_bootloaders version of XXJVK are facing lot of problems (like graphical issues as told in the comments below) and it’s said that the with_bootloaders version takes care of that too.

UPDATE 4: A new official ROM — XWJVB (final release for Europe) — is available too. We’ve already covered it. Here’s How to Install XWJVB and How to Root XWJVB and install CWM. Enjoy!

For more clarity of versions, here are the file names of two version with respective size:

  1. JVK_with_bootloaders —

    GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK_Sbl.exe (size 146.72 MB)

  2. JVK_without_bootloaders — GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK.exe (size 146 MB)

So, we would suggest you to download the with_bootloaders version — size: 146.72 MB — so that you don’t face graphical and other issues and also are able to apply custom ROMs made on JVK — we’ll covering these ROMs too, soon.

In case you want to download the without_bootloaders version of XXJVK, here’s the download link. Install Instructions same as for with_bootloaders version given below.

The instructions below (together with links have been updated, to install with_bootloaders version.

[info]This guide is applicable only for Samsung’s 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]

    5. Now, head over to Odin (from step 3.1, double-click to run the program on computer) and place the files as per the instructions given in steps 8, 9 and 10. Also, for reference, check the image at the top.
    6. Leave the PIT box empty.
    7. In the PDA box, select this file (from step 2.2) — PDA_XXJVK.tar.md5
    8. In the Phone box, select this file (from step 2.3) — PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5

    [valid] Want to get root access on XXJVK?

    Well I’ve posted a rooting guide too, follow the link below:

    Root XXJVK – Android 2.3.3 ROM for Galaxy S i9000 [/valid]

    [info]If you experience a problem in getting the ROM flashed with the steps given above, try flashing the ROM again, but with 512 PIT file this time, and keep the ‘Re-Partition’ box checked. All other things same as in steps given above.[/info]

    To read the differences in “bootloader” version and  “without bootloader” version, go here. Or below is the quoted summary from the link:

    • XXJVK firmware with-out bootloaders + Froyo/Eclair bootloaders on device = Graphics/Screen corruption + Can’t enter Recovery Mode
    • XXJVK firmware with-out bootloaders + XWJV1(GB Beta) bootloaders on device = OK!
    • XWJV1(GB Beta) firmware with-out bootloaders + XXJVK bootloaders on device = OK!
    • Froyo firmware with-out bootloaders + XXJVK or XWJV1(GB Beta) bootloaders on device = OK!

    Let us know in comments below how XXJVK Android 2.3.3 ROM works on your Galaxy S (i9000).

        Hey….. this ROM is European, so I think it supports French. Check out the installation video (4 mins 55 seconds), there is a proof that it supports way too many languages and so, I think French should be there.

      1. Guest Avatar

        Make sure your phone has completely switched off. Wait for it to vibrate a little after the screen goes off.

        Plus, make sure you’re holding the correct buttons together — volumedown+home+power.

        If you can’t enter the download mode, you really shouldn’t try this.

      Can i update my i9000 without it being rooted??

      1. Guest Avatar

        This is a stock ROM and isn’t pre-rooted. So, applying this ROM doesn’t result in Rooting unless you do it manually separately. But if you want to play it very safe, wait for Samsung to roll the update out via its Kies PC software.

        Well, if you can enter the download mode, your phone isn’t bricked, I guess. What’s your phone’s version? This ROM is only for Galaxy S i9000.

        And if yours is i9000, make sure you’re doing everything right. Check the video for assistance.

      Hi,
      This is my first time flashing, your instructions helped me alot. I have got Gingerbread on my phone and working flawlessly.

      One problem, during boot up, my screen goes into like a white noise, pixely type look, Im worried that it’ll screw up my phone, is there anyway to remove it?

      1. Guest Avatar

        I guess, the problem with screen is of Android, I think even Nexus S on Android 2.3.3 suffers from that. So, cannot really do anything with that. Hope Google fixes that and Samsung integrates the same for us too. 🙂

      2. Guest Avatar

        Oh okay, but it did occur while in camera mode. Also my phone restarts when listening to music but they’re gone now.
        I need help with this one since it’s really urgent. My recovery mode is not on my phone anymore, after the flash, it dissapeared. I seriously need it back but I don’t know how.

        Thanks for your help anyway 🙂

      Guys, I’ve purchased my SGS in Saudi Arabia and I’m sick of it’s branded software – I can’t run Android Market on it even!!! And there is a few useless programs like Quran and Prayer Times. Also I can’t have my mother language installed which is Polish.

      Uploading your ROM is the only chance for me – please tell me if you think it’s (relatively) secure to upgrade my phone:

      Model: GT-I9000
      Firmware: 2.2
      Baseband: I9000JXJPE

        Hello Andrew, this is a leaked ROM based on Android 2.3.3. if you want to keep things very safe, I recommend you wait for Samsung to roll out the update officially (via kies).

        That apart, I’ve noted your phone’s details and it seems to me your phone is compatible with XXJVK. You can try it if it’s urgent to you but this is always a bit risky. So, you’ve to take a decision and you only will be responsible.

        BTW, if Polish language is all you want, I recommend you to go to Settings -> Locale and Text -> Select locale. I think you will get the polish language there. As for this Android 2.3.3 ROM, it has polish language, I’ve just checked it on my phone.

        Hope everything is clear to you. Good Luck!

      2. Guest Avatar

        Thanks for the information, however who doesn’t risk doesn’t have any gains/achievements 😉

        I looked for LOCALE and there are only a few strange languages on it like Urdu, Hindu and Arabic :(. I have also downloaded MORE LOCALE but somehow it wouldn’t help apart from changing program/icon names to Polish. I’d love to have SWYPE in Polish though.

        Also I think that if I wait for KIES all I get will be another version of the arabic soft.

        Please tell me – is there any possibility to back up the current ROM of my phone? And what if things go wrong? Do I need to pay Samsung service to install the software for me or simply the phone is dead?

      3. Guest Avatar

        Cool. And your view abt Kies update doesn’t look misplaced to me.

        You can backup your ROM using the ROM Manager free app from market. But that will require your phone to be rooted. You can use the z4root android app to root your phone — search for it on our website.

        Btw, know that these procedures and methods are considered risky and you onlu will be responsible for your device.

        Lastly, I don’t know for sure, but I think Samsung guys will charge you to repair your phone if anything goes unexpected. That’s just what I think.

        Works on Saudi Arabia Samsung Galaxy S.

        No more Quran in my phone, Android Market works now and a full set of the most popular languages/locales added.Phone seems to be a lot faster. Automatically updated the STC mobile internet setup as well. Update process as easy as piece of a cake – and I am a rookie in these things.

        I had a problem with the camera at first but somehow everything seems to be working now without any action from my side. The only problem I can see after a day of testing is this graphic crash screen on startup but it’s merely aesthetic thing.

      Hi I just bought a GT i900 from dubai and its only a month old. Now its not booting up after I powered it off yesterday. I came across this site and at the very top its mentioned that I can fix the ROM for international i900 and not for Vibrant/Captivate/Fascinate/Epic 4G. So how do I figure out which model is mine? and if I can update my fone?
      please help.

        This RON isn’t meant to repair stuff. I won’t suggest you to try this ROM. I think you should visit the Samsung Store.

        Hello Andrew, this is a leaked ROM based on Android 2.3.3. if you want to keep things very safe, I recommend you wait for Samsung to roll out the update officially (via kies).

        That apart, I’ve noted your phone’s details and it seems to me your phone is compatible with XXJVK. You can try it if it’s urgent to you but this is always a bit risky. So, you’ve to take a decision and you only will be responsible.

        BTW, if Polish language is all you want, I recommend you to go to Settings -> Locale and Text -> Select locale. I think you will get the polish language there. As for this Android 2.3.3 ROM, it has polish language, I’ve just checked it on my phone.

        Hope everything is clear to you. Good Luck!

        1. Andrew Avatar

          Thanks for the information, however who doesn’t risk doesn’t have any gains/achievements 😉

          I looked for LOCALE and there are only a few strange languages on it like Urdu, Hindu and Arabic :(. I have also downloaded MORE LOCALE but somehow it wouldn’t help apart from changing program/icon names to Polish. I’d love to have SWYPE in Polish though.

          Also I think that if I wait for KIES all I get will be another version of the arabic soft.

          Please tell me – is there any possibility to back up the current ROM of my phone? And what if things go wrong? Do I need to pay Samsung service to install the software for me or simply the phone is dead?

          1. Kapil Avatar

            Cool. And your view abt Kies update doesn’t look misplaced to me.

            You can backup your ROM using the ROM Manager free app from market. But that will require your phone to be rooted. You can use the z4root android app to root your phone — search for it on our website.

            Btw, know that these procedures and methods are considered risky and you onlu will be responsible for your device.

            Lastly, I don’t know for sure, but I think Samsung guys will charge you to repair your phone if anything goes unexpected. That’s just what I think.

            Works on Saudi Arabia Samsung Galaxy S.

            No more Quran in my phone, Android Market works now and a full set of the most popular languages/locales added.Phone seems to be a lot faster. Automatically updated the STC mobile internet setup as well. Update process as easy as piece of a cake – and I am a rookie in these things.

            I had a problem with the camera at first but somehow everything seems to be working now without any action from my side. The only problem I can see after a day of testing is this graphic crash screen on startup but it’s merely aesthetic thing.

      Hi I just bought a GT i900 from dubai and its only a month old. Now its not booting up after I powered it off yesterday. I came across this site and at the very top its mentioned that I can fix the ROM for international i900 and not for Vibrant/Captivate/Fascinate/Epic 4G. So how do I figure out which model is mine? and if I can update my fone?
      please help.

        This RON isn’t meant to repair stuff. I won’t suggest you to try this ROM. I think you should visit the Samsung Store.

        It is said to be specifically for i9000. With i9003, it’s gamble, even more than normal. I won’t suggest you trying this ROM.

      Until now I’ve noticed that some startup screens are scrambled, they look like a graphics failure and also very important 3G internet connection does not work on this firmware.

      Nice fast ROM, much better battery life, much much better…………
      until I used live wallpapers! Battery only lasted around 8 hrs then.
      Anyone else find that?
      Or is there a cure please?

      1. Guest Avatar

        battery life is a problem…. no cure is really available. Here are some tips that you might be already knowing — keep sync off (use manually), live wallpapers OFF, WiFi and 3G/H Off when not required. Make sure you don’t have too many apps running in the background. Task killers won’t help too much unless you don’t uninstall the apps you don’t really need.
        That’s it.

      I installed Gingerbread on March 29. I played a few days with it and really everything works just fine for me. Upgraded from Froyo.
      The two “problems” I have, are that the cracked version of Navigon doesn’t work anymore and a purchased game from Gameloft, NOVA, doesn’t work. But that’s not really a problem, since I still have Google’s Nav and a lot of other games. What’s really cool, is the speed increase!
      So I’m very happy with this update and other than this two minor bugs, it really works great!! Thanks to everybody who made this possible and thank you Shivam for the installation guide!

        Thanks for thanking everybody for the ROM!
        I’m loving it too but I guess, the real FUN will be when custom ROM devs get the best outta Android 2.3 builds….it’s hard to live without custom ROMs (themes, etc), and with just Sammy’s stock ROM, even if it’s as good as JVK.
        BTW, I just tried the MIUI ROM, which is based on Android 2.3.3 and it’s just amazing!

      Nice fast ROM, much better battery life, much much better…………
      until I used live wallpapers! Battery only lasted around 8 hrs then.
      Anyone else find that?
      Or is there a cure please?

      1. Kapil Avatar

        battery life is a problem…. no cure is really available. Here are some tips that you might be already knowing — keep sync off (use manually), live wallpapers OFF, WiFi and 3G/H Off when not required. Make sure you don’t have too many apps running in the background. Task killers won’t help too much unless you don’t uninstall the apps you don’t really need.
        That’s it.

        Yep! It’s the best work Sammy’s soft team has done so far. You think the Nexus S partnership with Google helped the S team? I guess so.

      Absolutely first class instructions. Installation was very smooth (following all steps).

      On initial boot, WOW factor kicked in as I could not believe how fast it booted and it was very fast.

      DISAPPOINTMENT returned after restoring Titanium app backup. Reboot and it took just as long as my previous ROM. More disappointment after closely inspecting it for a day, ROM just felt naked and not polished. Features that I’ve grown accustomed to were missing – theming, app functionality ie, phone call recording, etc.

      Decided that for the time being, I would return to using Darky’s ROM v9.5 with the Black Android theme.

        I’m glad you like the guide. I would agree with you on the ‘missing features’ one often get so used to. It’s the official leak right now — nothing more than that, so I hope the fav devs of ours get us a good and solid Android 2.3 builds of their great Android 2.2 ROMs soon!

      I installed Gingerbread on March 29. I played a few days with it and really everything works just fine for me. Upgraded from Froyo.
      The two “problems” I have, are that the cracked version of Navigon doesn’t work anymore and a purchased game from Gameloft, NOVA, doesn’t work. But that’s not really a problem, since I still have Google’s Nav and a lot of other games. What’s really cool, is the speed increase!
      So I’m very happy with this update and other than this two minor bugs, it really works great!! Thanks to everybody who made this possible and thank you Shivam for the installation guide!

      Darky has just released RC3 for this rom with what his changelog describes as a lot of spit and polish. Think I’ll give it a go tomorrow as it is becoming somewhat late in the land down under. Here is the link:

I have been trying this since yesterday but no joy.Please could you advice me what am I doing wrong.My phone at the moment is running 2.3.2 version of gingerbread, also I tried from froyo 2.2JPH STILL SAME PROBLEM.Let me please what am I missing.

        Hey, can you provide us an screenshot of what it’s looking like at your end? Although I don’t think you would make any silly mistake as this — but do make sure you’re selecting the right files in these tabs — PDS, Phone, CSC. Also, is it showing “Added! !” in the message box and what about the 0:(COM4) [under the ID:COM] with yellow background as in the video at 1 mins 39 seconds?

      I tried all Options above but I can’t make it to work.I just wanna know if there is anything I need to install in my phone before I started this procedure. I never had problem with other rom before this,I don’t understand why this one doesn’t want to install.Is there any other way apart from using ODIN?

      Ok guys, this is the message I keep getting when I try to istall 2.3.3.When I use ODIN 1.7, I keep geeting message on top of the odin screen saying Odin “Not responding”. And in the message box these are messages Added
      Enter CS for MD5
      Check MD5..Do not unplug the cable.
      please wait..

      These are messages I keep getting on ODIN.I tried to watch video above I can’t see any different to what I am doing Unless there is something which I need to do with a phone.I have been trying this since 2 days ago, I wish someone could help me,I am so tired.

        Are you sure you’ve proper drivers installed? If you already have drivers installed, I would suggest you to uninstall them first and then reboot the PC. Disconnect your phone first, though. Upon reboot, install the latest drivers. Download from here: For 32-bit Windows – http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml, For 62-bit Windows — http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml.

        Try it out.

        Also, some questions:
        1) Have you disabled the Lagfix, if any, on your earlier ROM. What was the ROM you came from?
        2) have you tried flashing the XXJVK with 512 PIT file. I know I haven’t used that in the video but you can try it. just take care to keep the Re-Partition button in Odin CHECKED now (since you’re using the PIT file now). Okay!

        Lemme know if that helps or not? Also, make sure that your phone is not Galaxy S i9003, since this ROM and guide is applicable only for i9000 version. Check your phone’s version in settings – scroll down and select ‘about phone’ – ‘model number’ — it should be GT-i9000.

        Good Luck!

      Hi Kapil.
      I am from India and recently bought SGS with 2.2 (Kernel 2.6.32.9 Froyo.DDJP6.
      Am interested in getting latest version on my galaxy SGS.
      Will you pl inform me will this build 2.3.3 XXJVK work for me in India with Airtel as service provider ?
      Thanks

      1. Guest Avatar

        Hi Raj, it’s working for me on Tata docomo, so I think it would work for you too on Airtel. BTW, it’s the eaked version and unless you’re in hurry, you can wait for Samsung to distribute the update via its PC software Kies by mid-April, I guess.

        But, I think Galaxy S i9000 doesn’t sell anymore. Make sure your phone’s model number is GT-i9000 under About Phone under settings. If it’s recently released Super LCD version of Galaxy S — i9003 — I don’t think this ROM would work.

      2. Guest Avatar

        Its SGS i9000 only… I am not in hurry but I really dont like the speed lag it has in 2.2.1. So I wish to update it. But after reading all comments I think I should wait till update release by Samsung, due to Battery Drain Problem. Should I ?

    134. Guest Avatar

      2.3.3 Workin fine since yesterday, Just battery consumption is doubled … requires charge after 6-7 hrs if usin Wifi at home.

      Rest speed is awsome kinda likin it..

      I just installed I9000XXJVK|2.3.3 using odin. Everything installed fine and phone is working.

      But yesterday i ran into a weird bug. All my speed dial contacts run into a ussd code running and then i get connection problem or invalid MMi code.

      the same contacts work fine otherwise.

      any ideas as to how to solve this?

      also in running apps>all there is an app called “angry gps”

      is that part of 2.3.3

      What is the risk to upgrade it from operator ROM Eclair(“SFR , Orange , …”)?

      if no solution for these probleme I take my risk 😉

      i have 2.2 and my GalaxyS simply not entering the “download mode” while pressing the 3 keys.

      anyone can tell if the phone still ok for ROOT’ing?

      is there any combination to put it in the “download mode” ???

      1. Guest Avatar

        To get your SGS in download mode, switch off your phone and leave it as such for 1 minute. Then, press these keys together: VolumeDOWN+Home+Power.

        If that doesn’t work, I think your phone has downloade mode disabled via the 3 keys setup. So, very seriously, I won’t suggest you to try anything on your phone since working download mode is key to get your device right back if sth happens. Okay!

      Hi, I’m running Darky’s v9.1 extreme edition and want to change to this ROM, has anyone done that before me? Any probs/bugs? pls let me know :…oh BTW Darky Rulez

      1. Guest Avatar

        Just follow these instructions or Darky’s instructions. Darky is giving you these instructions to initially get it working and then flashing his mods on top of this. All of the ROMs are doing this so that you install the correct kernel and framework.res

    164. Guest Avatar

      at first it looks hard to install ROM on the sgs but if you follow the instructions it gets all easy. By the way is there the Darky’s ROM 2.3.3? if there is anyone with a clue please post the link or email me @[email protected]

      After the upgrade to 2.3.3 I am very fast running battery will not last me even a day with minimal use of the phone. does anyone know how to fix it? THX

      1. Guest Avatar

        I installed the gingerbread with these instructions. First installed with-out bootloaders and had 2 problems. First Graphics sucking, second battery running out in 7-8 hours. Then I installed With bootloaders and only the first problem gone but battery is till the same. I now gone back to my lovely froyo 2.2.1 and everything works fine!

      2. Guest Avatar

        Take I come back around back to an earlier version, this does not satisfy me 2x a day to charge my phone. Enough to use it and 6-8 hours is really below the level of such equipment.
        Still I’m feeling a Darkys Rom and see whether it will be better. On our forums people write that they PDAs stamina and 4 days with Gingerbread Darkys ROM, I do not know 🙁

      @ nohcho, how to go back to froyo (original one) on galaxy s?

      1. Guest Avatar

        I used this website: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-use-odin-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-to-android-2-2-froyo-download/comment-page-1/#comments to upgrade it from an earlier version and also to downgrade it from the battery eating Gingerbread. Just read through the instructions and there are 2 stages to do it. I used the Stage 2 when I downgraded my phone last week as I had already flashed my phone before. I think you have to go for stage 2 too. But do use this version XXJPU which is the latest of Froyo which you can download from here: http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5. Do the rest following the stage 2 instructions.

        Hope this helps

        Hey… it’s pretty simple to downgrade to Android 2.2. Just use the EZbase ROM — EZRom. Link here — https://nerdschalk.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/

        The EZBase ROM will also take care of bootloaders required for Froyo. It may sound puzzling that even when you’re on Android 2.3 (with bootloaders), you still require Android 2.2 bootloaders but that’s the case here. So, when switching back to Froyo, you do need to get to Froyo with bootloaders and stuff and EZRom takes full care of that. What’s more it’s pre-rooted too with these apps already installed — titanium backup, superuser and ROM Manager. So, give it a go. FYI, it’s based on XXJVE Android 2.2 Samsung Galaxy S ROM.

        Apart from that, EZBase is the best choice to revert back to Froyo when wou want to try MIUI for Galaxy S, or CM7 SGS ROM, or the stock Android 2.3.3 ROM. Why? Because it’s complete and safe and forms a decent base to try the above mentioned 3 ROMs. We’ve already covered MIUI — which really is one GREAT Rom — and I’m on verge of getting you guys super solid CyanogenMod 7 SGS ROM. Hang in tight!

        Enjoy 🙂

      thanks for you sharing Nohcho and Kapil. i think they ways you guys recommend are to install custom ROM. please tell me a way that i can go back to the original one which is installed by Samsung on my device, as i heared that the official 2.3.3 Samsung ROM for Galaxy S is going to be out in the market in this month, i need to install the official ROM.
      so please tell me to go back to the original one not the custom again.

      Hi can I flash the (with bootloaders) xxjvk over darky9.2 anywhere in the world. Never flashed before. I’m nervous but so keen for 2.3.3 custom rom, looks like a few nice ones to choose from.

      1. Guest Avatar

        Yes, you can flash with_bootloader JVK. But I would say, better try the newer Android 2.3.3 ROM — XWJVB. Installation Guide here — https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-install-xwjvb-gingerbread-rom-gaalxy-s/. Go for the with_bootloaders version here — I’ve been using it for quite some time now and I’m overall happy with this. Root is also available as stated in the post there. hope you like it.

        Install the latest android 2.3.4 Firmware xxjvq but before that go to
        recovery right now and do a factory reset, then wipe dalvik cache. Then
        install the xxjvq. I hope that fixes everything.

        Your data and apps and their data will get deleted so better take backup
        using the titanium backup free android app.

        Hey, download the file from here –

        password – samfirmware.com

        Installation procedure is similar to JVK you’ve installed using our guide.
        Don’t tick the re-partition box unless you’ve selected the .pit file too.
        Rest all is same.

        Good luck. since this firmware, BVJJW4 is for Australia, this should fix
        your problems. Back up your data before installing this since apps and data
        will be lost.

      I have successfully installed 2.3.3 on my SGS. It is XXJVK and is working perfect. Few issues which I am facing :

      1. The battery works fine, but on its own mood, it suddenly starts discharging all of a sudden. No new apps has been installed. When I see the log, I see “Android OS” and “Android System” to have used the max

      2. I used Appmoster to backup most of my apps. When i restore them from SD, it does not show as installed in the market

      Any idea why the two are happening? Do I need to upgrade this ROM or are there some patches available….

      Thanks in advance

        Search for xxjvr firmware on our website and install that using the guide. That’s the latest and greatest version and would solve your problems too, hopefully.
