this is wonderfull, thanks to you and your friend mate !!
so does this means when we accidently break something while firmware flash we can always go back to this original firmware ? and the f;lashing procedure of this will be same as any other firmware ?

kalpik · Jul 26, 2010

No.. this means, that if you want to submit your phone for warranty, you can flash back to the stock firmware! The flashing procedure is not same! To recover, do the following:

1. Download clockwordmod recovery from here: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.4-galaxys.zip
2. Rename it to "update.zip" and put it on your internal SD card.. Don't put it inside any folder.
3. Download the stock firmware nandroid backup from here: RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting
4. Extract it and put it into your internal sdcard (I'm not sure about the directory structure on the zip file my friend uploaded.)
5. Power off the phone, then boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume UP + Home + Power button simultaneously.
6. When in recovery, use volume keys to navigate to "Apply update.zip". Press home button. Your phone will now boot into clockworkmod recovery.
7. Use the volume keys to navigate to nandroid. Use the back soft button to select. Then chose restore, and restore the ROM.

It did not work for me on Opera Mini but it works just fine in the inbuilt browser

Had this phone for just 4 days and these were the 2 major problems:

1) Wifi never used to work on a 802.1x authenticated network(connects but does not send/recieve data)
2) GPS rarely used to work

Did a firmware update to JM2 version yesterday and both these problems are solved. Wifi connects and stays connected and GPS takes far less to get a lock. I would recommend someone who has these problems to try it.

FYI,

If you are trying the TV out using mini stereo (3.5 mm) to RCA cable, make sure to connect white one to video unlike the normal yellow one. Other two are the stereo channels.
TV Out video quality is 'OK' and is not that great compared to DLNA, but it works with most of the TV sets. One advatange over HDMI is it mirrors everything displayed on your phone.

U have to put these tiles into internal sd card/brut.googlemaps/tiles/map-en_IN/

Put the tiles according to ur zoom level (16 or 17 or 12). then enable "save to sd card" and "read from Sd card" options in brut's googlemap.
BTW new googlemap update has come in the market. not much change though

Might be a software bug. Try JM2 ROM if its that important for u and dnt care for warranty, otherwise u may consider going to the service center.

If you are using it only to check mails and for chat, then 50 MB seems logical. Anayway, try this app for data usage http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/net.jaqpot.netcounter/ and is very accurate also.

This is fabulous news! If you (or someone else) could please test it thoroughly to see if there aren't any issues like the UI lag, improper RAM allocation, bad WiFi connectivity or anything else that you could notice, I would be very grateful.

I'm almost done buying the phone, but just need to find a good price and pony up my finances a bit. Kinda like Barcelona and Fabregas, heh.

kalpik · Jul 28, 2010

The leaked firmware (which is yet to leak, should be out in a few hours

) is of alpha quality. I'd give it a week at least until it becomes usable.. Ill do all my testing then

kalpik! did u tried that stock firmware you got from ur friend's phone?
Its good news that froyo is leaked for sgs. I will try it once i get my laptop back from service center.
BTW why samsung is not providing stereo FM in sgs ( i tried in JM2, might be a bug). Although i dont use it but i didnt expect this type of quality from such a high end phone.

kalpik · Jul 28, 2010

Yes, I tried the stock firmware. It restores just fine. The only thing is that it doesn't update the radio. So you can still tell if the phone was flashed
