Just follow it step by step. 1. Download XXJVU firmware first. Filename: I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar. Size: 225.9 MB. Download Link. (password: samfirmware.com) 2. Also download this PIT file: s1_odin_20100512.pit 3. Extract the downloaded file I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.rar to get these 3 files: 1. CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 2. GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5 3. MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1059471.tar.md5 4. Download Odin PC Software which we will be using to flash the XXJVU Android 2.3.6 ROM on Galaxy S. Filename:Odin3 v1.7.zip. Size: 192.55 KB. Download Link. 5. Extract Odin3 v1.7.zip to get .exe file Odin3 v1.7.exe. Run it when asked in step 8 below. 6. Disconnect your phone if its connected to PC. Then Switch it Off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off. 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 (from step 5) Odin3 v1.7.exe. 9. Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message Added! ! under the Odins message box in the bottom left. If you dont get Added! ! message, than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure youve drivers installed if not then follow these links ('32 bit (x86) Windows | 64-bit (x64) Windows). 10. Now, in Odin, select these files at respective tabs (for visual help, see the screenshot at step 11 below):

1. Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (from step 3.1) 2. Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5 (from step 3.3) 3. Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5 (from step 3.2) 4. Click the PIT Tab, and select s1_odin_20100512.pit (from step 2) 11. Make sure the Re-Partitioncheckbox in ODIN is selected. Also, Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes should be selected too. Leave everything else on Odin untouched. 12. Double check everything said in step 10 and 11 above. Your Odins screen, after selecting all the files and ticking and not-ticking the checkboxes, should look like this:

13. 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, youll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. (Check screenshot

below)

14. When it restarts, your Galaxy S will be running the Android OS, v2.3.6 XXJVU firmware.

2.CWM(Clockworkmod Recovery) and root on the XXJVU Demonstration:

1. Make sure youve installed XXJVU firmware. Try this only on XXJVU firmware and not on any other firmware. 2. Download CF-Root kernel first. Filename CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip. Size 6.89 MB. 3. Unzip the above file to a folder. You will get the .tar file CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3CWM3RFS.tar inside the extracted folder. Its recommended to use 7-zip free software to extract it. DO NOT extract the .tar file (even if you see it as a zip file, which it is not). You need to flash the .tar file using Odin to gain root access and install the ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) alongside. If youre getting zimage file, it means youve extracted the .tar file too! and thats not a right thing to do. 4. Use the Odin software you used while flashing the XXJVU. No separate download is required. 5. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off. 6. Boot your phone in Download Mode Press and hold VolumeDOWN+HOME+POWER keys together. 7. Open Odin now. Connect your phone to PC now. Youll notice Added! ! message in the Odins message box in the bottom left.

8. On Odin, click the PDA tab and select the .tar file you got in step 3 CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar. 9. Make sure Re-Partition checkbox is not selected. Leave the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes selected. 10. Double check step 8 and step 9. Your Odins screen should look like this:

11. Click the Start button on Odin to flash the CF-Root kernel. 12. After the CF Root is installed, phone will restart automatically. When you see the PASS written in top left box, you can remove the cable. On success flashing, Odins screen should look like
