Help me update from froyo to gingerbread. Please!!!

Hi all

I have simunlocked my Galaxy S TMN carrier phone. Recently i also rooted my phone The oneclick way. The specs of phone is
Firmware version: 2.2
Base Band        :I9000XXJPP
Kernel              :2.6.32.9
                       root@se-s603#1
Build no.           :FROYO.XWJPF

Now i saw on the net i can manually update with ODIN to 2.3.3. Baseband Ver. : I9000DDJV4
                                                                                     Kernel Ver.      :2.6.35.7-I9000DDJV6-CL198883
                                                                                                            root@SE-S605#2
                                                                                        Build No.       :GINGERBREAD:DDJV6
Is this the new stock version available through Kies? Will i be able to do the update if my phone is rooted or has a stock TMN carrier version of froyo? Does this build have any defects? like shortened battery live? Or does anyone know when portugal will get the update through Kies? Must i wait for the official update through kies? Sorry a lot of questions, but want to make sure i do the best thing.

Thanx
                                                 

Hi Troll

I followed the link and downloaded Spooffw from the market. installed it and run it. It was granted supper user permission but gave me a message " an error occured when the product code would be retreived. the folder /efs could not be found. Please send your log. ok." i pressed ok  and it displays

Spooffw

This application modifies system files, nv_data.bin and build.prop. Use with care

Reboot

Step 1 Back up current sttings

Back up
Step 2 choose a preset in the menu . requires reboot
Product code
(clear  noting in the field)
PDA
i9000xwjpf

OK

step 3 choose the same preset again no reboot required.
phone
i9000xxjpp
csc
i9000tmnjp3

Ok

i also press update presets but nothing happens. everything stays the same.

Help please

Thanx

Can you give me a step by step spoon feed guide to do it with odin, because i am very dumb when it comes to things like this and i dont want to brick my phone. Does it matter  if my phone has TMN carrier OS on it?

Thanx

Hallo, thanx for your quick response. For  both please if possible or the one you think is the best. Because i would like to try both and see the diffirence.

Thank you.

Hi Saszseb

Yes it says Network Lock     (off)
               Network Subset (off)
                Sp Lock           (off)
                CP Lock           (off)
How do i test for the 3 button combo. do i turn off my phone and hold down volume down, home button and power button till it starts and when it says recovery mode or downloading mode it works and i just turn it off again. and turn it on normally again for the test.? Thanx again for your patience and help.

Hi Saszseb

Thanx , both three button combos worked. I read through bothe the gingerbread and android 2.3.4, and i think i will go with gingerbread 2.3.3, the other one looks a bit complicated. One question i saw on some web pages when you used oden some boxes must be ticked of and some not. In the guide you supplied they dont say anything. can you help with that. thanx

Hi Saszseb

1)Thanx ,  i wont tick of the re-partition, and flash lock. So there is no need for pit files. Then next i only tick PDA, and leave bootloader, csc and phone open. is that correct?

2)I made a backup of all the files and system files with titanium backup on my phone build in memorycard. If anything goes wrong will i be able to reload my old froyo with just that?

Thanx again for your patience and help

Hi Sascseb

Thanx. 1)how do i make a nandroid backup?
          2)Must i do hard reset (factory reset before flashing with odin and after  i flashed with odin?)
         
Thanx.
