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]

Follow these step-by-step directions to install XXJVK Android 2.3.3 ROM on your Galaxy S:

  1. Download XXJVK with_bootloaders. File name — GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK_Sbl.exe. Download Link. [Whether you’re coming from Froyo or have already tried XXJV1 we would suggest with_bootloades version.]
    1. Extract the self-extracting ‘GT_I9000_XXJVK_XXJVK_OXAJVK_Sbl.exe’ file by double clicking on it. You’ll get 3 files:
      1. CSC_OXAJVK.tar.md5,
      2. PDA_XXJVK.tar.md5 and
      3. PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5.

      1. Odin3 v1.7,
      2. s1_odin_20100512.pit and (No use in this guide)
      3. s1_odin_20100803.pit. (No use in this guide)
    3. Switch Off your Galaxy S. Make sure it’s disconnected from PC and connect it only when told.
    4. Now, put it in Download Mode. For that, press and hold these keys together – Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button.
    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
    9. In the CSC box, select this file (from step 2.1) — CSC_OXAJVK.tar.md5
    10. Make sure to uncheck ‘Re-Partition’.
    11. Keep ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F. Reset Time’ boxes checked.
    12. Now connect your phone (which is in Download Mode since step 5) to computer.
    13. Upon connecting, Odin will show “Added” under the message box.
    14. Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
    15. When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot. You can unplug the cable now. That is, disconnect your phone from PC now, when reboot starts.
    16. When your phone has restarted, you are on the XXJVK Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread ROM of Galaxy S. Congrats!
    17. Check your phone’s version by here: Press Options -> Settings -> Scroll down and select About Phone -> Scroll down and check your version.

    [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).

      To all who have troubles with 3G – it’s not android trouble, it’s in operators setting something wrong. Tested on different sim-cards (some works and some dont).

      Can I update to 2.3.3 with this method my SGS with android 2.1 (ECLAIR.XWJG4)?

      1. Kapil Avatar

        Well, don’t know for sure bcoz I tried it only from Android 2.2. I think you can try it but know that it’s risky. I would suggest you to wait a little bit till we publish our WUP article on how to install darky resurrection ROM – which will install Android 2.2 for you. once you apply the Darky resurrection ROM, you’re good for XXJVK (android 2.3.3) too. Okay!

      It’s hard to believe that this 3G problem is in operator – 3G works fine with older firmware-version. Now phone doesn’t even show the 3G symbol, even if wi-fi not available.

      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
        Guest

        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!

      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!

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?

      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!

        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 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.

        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 ?

        Oh, i almost forgot…..

        In this ROM you cant get the screen off animation – Because Samsung didnt allow it in STOCK ROM.

        You must flash Custom ROM.

        Go to XDA forum, and use Search.
