Here is the update that everyone has been waiting for At the moment, I'm only providing the modem, and rooted, stock, deodexed version of the ROM. There will be a cleaned up version to go along with all of this in due time, but we're currently working out some problems with it. I would like to note that despite this being the Froyo update, it is not without its own set of problems, and odds are you may never see another update outside of this from anywhere. However, the benefits of getting Froyo will outweigh the problems with it for most people, so have at it.
You will need a few things to get this, first, the downloads list here will be needed (obviously). You'll also need to have CWM setup and know how to use Odin. Heimdall will also work for those of you not on Windows, but I'm not providing any instructions for flashing using Heimdall. Also note that you will want to wipe data or perform a factory reset before booting into Froyo to avoid any problems. While you may get away with not doing it, you could end up with several problems, so my recommendation is to wipe data. Also, you can flash the ROM first, or flash the modem first, which ever you want to do. There isn't really a required order for it, as long as you do both parts.
[size=+1]Instructions[/size]
Download everything you need.
Odin
Froyo Radio
ROM+Kernel
CWM Kernel
CWM update.zip
Put the ROM zip and CWM update.zip on your SD Card
Flash the Radio via Odin in the PDA box
Enter CWM and flash the ROM+Kernel
Wipe Data in CWM before restarting your phone
Restart and enjoy Froyo

FAQ
How can I donate to you for this?
You can either click the "Donate to me" button above my avatar, or go through this link. Don't feel obligated to donate though, as Verizon should have given this to you (the users) long ago.
Can I still receive updates after flashing this?
You cannot receive updates after flashing this unless you revert back to DL17, which is the latest official software released by Verizon and Samsung.
If I can receive updates on this, how can I restore back to DL17?
I've been sending this to several people already that have had problems with their phones. If you need to revert back to DL17 for any reason, download this. You will need 7-zip or similar to extract it. Once you have the .tar.md5 file, flash it in Odin via PDA like you did for flashing the modem to get Froyo.
Can I return my phone to Verizon for warranty repair/service with this on my phone?
No. If you need any sort of help with your phone from Verizon, you will need to have the stock DL17 ROM on your phone. Anything else and you have voided your warranty and Verizon and/or Samsung will not have to do anything to help you. See the above question for a package to restore your phone to the latest stock software.
Are there any bugs in this release?
Yes there are, just as there is with any software. I do not know what the bugs are though off hand though as I have not been using this update. I also cannot say whether any of the problems you may have will ever get fixed, seeing as you can't even get a straight answer on why the update has been taking so long.
Is xxx modification/theme compatible with this?
Odds are that it isn't. All of the current themes and modifications for DL17 will not work on this package. They will all need to be updated to be able to work. Given that this is a relatively new release, this could take some time, especially given that it is the summer and people are on vacation (I'm looking at you trailblazer ). We will work though to try and get all of the mods ported from DL17 to EC03 so that you don't have to give up anything to upgrade.
Will you release a "clean ROM" based on this?
Yes, and it is already in progress. I have sent it out to a couple people already to ask for feedback and any issues. Once they say it is ok, I'll create a new thread with the cleaned up version. There is currently no ETA on when it will be released though.
Are there any other kernels I can use with this besides the one that comes with it?
At the moment, there isn't. I'm trying to get a custom kernel to work, but it has some problems. At the very least, we can customize the stock kernel some, but I do not know if a full source built kernel will ever be available.
Can I flash this if I am on the voodoo kernel?
No, if you are running the voodoo lagfix kernel, you will want to disable voodoo prior to doing anything. If you don't, you'll be in for some fun times with Odin getting your phone back in a usable state.
Can I get something included in the FAQ?
Yes you can. Just create a post with the following template, and I'll try to keep the FAQ updated. If I don't see it or add it right away, don't worry, I'll try and update it. If it has been a week or two and I still haven't responded, just send me a message with a link to what you want included. Here is the format to use:

Kudos @imnuts for the effort!
Took about 7 minutes from download to phone setup. There was a short hang at the Samsung screen (approx. 15 seconds) but other than that it looks like it should. All startup animations are in tact..

Really, it's super-easy to install the backlight fix, and you don't even have to root or muck around all that much. You flash CWM in odin, which takes about 30 seconds, and then boot into CWM and flash a single zip file, which should take at most a minute including the reboot time. Tada, keyboard light is fixed.

That requires root access and messing with stock recovery right? Although it can be done quickly, it could mess up any future official ICS update...you know, an official build that has the backlight fix + other fixes. I'd rather not deal with unrooting, getting stock recovery back on, and still have a risk of a soft brick....all for a backlight fix. For my scenario ICS can wait or never be applied on the glide. My wife doesn't care .

It actually doesn't require root access, just a custom recovery, which is flashed from the PC. You can then replace it with a stock recovery, if you prefer.

I made a walkthrough for the entire leak here, but I'll snip it down and just assume you're running some form of ICS now that's completely stock:
bakageta said:
To fix the keyboard backlight bug, you'll need the following:
Odin 1.85
Clockworkmod Recovery
The Keyboard Backlight fix The one labeled LH2 is for the official, the one labeled CWM is for the leak. If you're not sure what you're on, go to About Phone, and check the Baseband Version, if it ends in LH2 you're on the official, if it ends in LG9 it's the leak.
Optionally, SuperUser 3.2 RC3 if you'd like root.
First, make sure you have Kies installed, so that you have the correct USB drivers. Download the 4.0.4 .exe file from here. Power off your phone, hold Volume Up and Power to turn it back on. Keep holding them until you get a screen warning you about custom software, and release, then press volume up again to enter download mode. Hook the phone up to your pc and run Odin 1.85. Uncheck "F. Reset Time" and make sure that the only box checked is Auto Reboot, you shouldn't need to change anything else. Click on the PDA button, and load the clockworkmod .md5 file you downloaded, then press the start button and wait for the device to reboot.
This time you'll reboot into recovery. Power the phone off, hold the volume down and power button to turn the phone one. Keep holding them until you see text about entering recovery in the top left, and release. Use the volume keys to navigate and power to select, and go to Install zip from sdcard. Select the keyboard backlight fix zip. Once that's finished, if you'd like to be rooted, repeat the process to flash a zip, and this time select Choose zip from sdcard, selecting the superuser zip you downloaded earlier. Select Yes, and wait for superuser to flash. If you plan on keeping Clockwork Mod Recovery, you should make a backup now. To do so, select Backup and restore, and backup. This will take a bit, just be patient. When you're finished, select reboot system now, and you should be set.
From here, if you rooted you can install something like Titanium Backup, which will use root access to let you remove the various AT&T bloatware.

Yeah backlight isn't working sorry, someone on a blog had said so. Very unprofessional of samsung. A rom cooked with cm9 willl have to include the backlight fix

Cool, thanks for the info. Good to know root is not required. I'll still hold off on the update but I'm sure others will apply ICS+backlight fix.
I updated last night, and I can report that after ending any call the phone app reports a hard stop rather than just going away, and that resets your cell connection. And I imagine the keyboard backlight will be fixed very soon. But did these issues exist on the leaked rom in its first release and then programmers modified to get them back?

I'm downloading it on my computer at home right now but I was in a rush to get to work. Looks like I'll have to wait until my lunch break to flash this, haha.

Is your power saving mode on? I've always found it makes so many things laggy, unfortunately. Might be enabled by default on the rom. Worth a look.
Great community here. Yesterday I was non-rooted ICS. Today I'm rooted JB with Wallet.
My phone just got 1000% better.
First of all, I appreciate all the Devs hard work bringing these Roms to us! :good:
I was running rooted UCALH9. Updated to this JB via Odin and all SEEMED good. Problems I had:
1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!
2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.
3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... No fix at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!
Damn I had that same Play Store FC problem yesterday -- I wish I'd have figured that out. I ended up doing factory reset lol.
I receive same fix permission error as you, but I rebooted into recovery to do it.

You didn't happen to play with the camera at all, did you?
I can live with the Fix Permissions via CMW, so that would clear up 2 out of 3 of my problems. All I need is a fix for the Gallery problem, and I can go back to Official JB.
Thanks!
Howl long was the flash?
I'm inside Odin on flashing system.img.ext4 right now and it stays there which looks like about 20% for last 10 minutes with no forward movement.
How long do I need to wait before I consider something is wrong with flash process?
Changing cable to Samsung one did the trick if you are in the same situation.

I bought a Galaxy S Glide (I think the same as the Blaze) from an outlet in Hong Kong on import from Canada (on boot it says "Rogers" so I can assume it's from Canada).
After using it for a week it suddenly stopped using the network and said that I need a lock code.
I went back to the shop where I bought it and they said they couldn't do anything immediately and would I like a replacement, which seemed like a nice thing to do.
However, after a couple of days I notice a glitch on the screen happen a couple of times.
I refused to believe it was a big problem (because it was my new phone right!) within a week the screen started to totally crash to the point that it would freeze in the boot up process.
You can see a picture attached of how the screen looks after I managed to do a hard reset.
When it starts to go like this, you cant do anything with it.
The guy at the shop wont change it or refund it, he claims I dropped it.
Samsung Hong Kong don't support it because it's from Canada and the only shop that knows what to do with it is the guy that sold it to me.
I'm taking the guy to the small claims court, but I'd rather have a fixed phone.
Any ideas please?
Thats happen to me, is a problem with the roger version. Everything in internet say the problem is hardware, but now mines works perfect. So, is like a bug in the rogers, maybe hardware problem, but if can be fixed with software i dont think so.
If you flash ICS with superoneclick (will remove rogers bootscreen) the problem will be fixed, of course you can flash it with a tar image with odine and will have the rogers bootscreen too. With that the phone will work again.

I strongly doubt this, that looks and sounds like a hardware fault. But hey, if there's no warranty option, you've got nothing to lose...
-E- FWIW, I would boot it into download mode, and let it sit on that screen for an hour. Then plug it into your computer and make sure Odin sees it. If it hangs while in download mode DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING. You REALLY don't want your phone to hang mid-bootloader-flashing, that's an automatic fullbrick...

If the device is no more under warranty, I would say trying this would not harm the device anymore. Also this is a samsung released update so nothing unofficial about it.

if you search in internet about freeze problem in glide you will see. Can be roll back with odin. But, if you have no warranty on your device, you dont have nothing to lose, and much to win if the problem solve
My brother had this same problem on his glide (bought at newegg). I got him to install galaxym unlock (galaxsim? Something like that), and you purchase an inapp unlock for $3, and it runs, reboots your phone and you regain unlock. They claim its permanent. So far my brother didnt get locked again.
Is cheap, fast and you can also see in the reviews that there are more glides that used it and worked.
Hope this helps!

thats for unlock, is possible that your phone will lock again when update to ICS. my phone was too from newegg and is rogers, thats why i say is a problem with rogers version.

Thanks for thinking about my problem, but this solution misses one very big point, the phone that was locked was changed for the phone that has a screen that doesn't work.
I do not have the locked phone any more.
probably will lock again after you flash ICS via odin, thats happen to me. Is not a screen problem, again, if you want to try to solve, do what i say before.
I have the exact same problem, was just about to post in the other thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953672
Bought my phone from Amazon US marketplace about a month ago (but live in the UK), and suddenly the phone did that on start up one day. However, I agree with lorddavid, it is not a hardware fault as it does not freeze in download mode. Samsung service centres won't repair as it does not have a UK warranty, and although I can get a refund by returning I would rather have a working phone.

If you flash ICS with superoneclick (will remove rogers bootscreen) the problem will be fixed, of course you can flash it with a tar image with odine and will have the rogers bootscreen too. With that the phone will work again.

Was very happy to read this, seems like I'll have to try it. Have been putting it off as it will wipe my phone which I did not want to do just yet - I have a lot of photos and clips which I can't exactly back up as it does not boot normally. Really annoying. Any way to access these/back up before flashing?
And another question, that ICS update is the first leaked one which carried a few bugs (as did the official UCLH2 one) - can I install the fixed UCLJ3 straight away? And do I need a rooted phone in the first place? In Rawr0w0's initial post it seems to suggest I do. Sorry for all the questions, and thanks in advance.
dont remember, i think is the UCLH2, and i think that there was a odin flashable of the latest version (with bug fixes), you can try that (but dont know where download it :/ )
Do you have the photos in your internal storage? i think if you flash with one click, it will delete it, but if you flash the firmware via odin, it doesnt delete it (but i am not 100% sure)
And no, you dont need root to install roms via odin
This is UCLH2 without one click

And here is the latest version with bug fixes (like keyboard light)

These are the officials. But the second link i never try it to flash because when i has the problem there wasnt that version
Thanks, yeah that's where I was getting the files from, I'll try it tonight, will probably go for the second link, the UCLJ3 rom.

YES WAHOO!! My phone works! Thank you for the advice! I mainly got it from the other thread but without having read your attempt at flashing I would never have tried it - I'm so happy! I managed to make a back up and copy my media via CWM anyway, but everything was still on there including all my texts and whatsapp messages, and now I have ICM 4.04 too!
Phew I thought I would have to send it back, get a refund and order another one which is a massive pain and lose everything on my phone.
Hkcharlie, you need to try this!

Hi guys..
This is my first time on this site. I dont know why I never found it sooner. Anyways. I have a Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch. I am currently on the fi27 I believe & I am rooted.
I would like to update to the JellyBean.
First off, can I go to JellyBean from the fi27, or do I have to go to the Fl24 first, then to JellyBean?
Do I have to unroot, before I do anything?
I hope I am asking all the right questions. I really have no clue what I am talking about. I had my friend try to explain it to me, but didnt work very well... My head isnt right at times. I have a brain tumor, so sometimes things are hard for me to comprehend..
So if someone could tell me what I need to do in order to get to JellyBean, from rooted fi27.. I would appreciate it.. Or if someone can guide me to the correct post that I would need to read that explains it..
Just anything to help me get to JB, & whatever Files or programs I need or whatever..
Really appreciate your guys help!! Means a lot...
Welcome to the site! If you aren't sure that you are rooted you can look for SuperSU

Rwilco has made a compilation of the stock roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252), which include Official JB Builds. When you feel confident about moving forward, you might also want to look at some of the other non-stock roms too. Good luck in your flashing!
To go from ics to jellybean flash in odin a one click for a jellybean rom. Super easy to do take a look at some stickies for guidance. Rwilco has the one clicks for you.

I am rooted. I said that in the first post.
I have no clue what an Odin is or a one click..
Like I said, I have never done anything like this before. I got my phone from a friend who had rooted it before I got it.
I apologize for my questions. Having a brain tumor messes up my head at times & things are hard for me to understand. I am sorry.
Can someone maybe post a link to the page or the file that I would need in order to get to JellyBean..
I am not on ICS. I am still on FI27
Can I go to JellyBean from FI27, or do I have to go to FL24 first?
Can I just flash to JB from where I am now, being on FI27 & rooted or do I have to Unroot first.
Nobody answered my questions..
Or If you did, I am sorry, but I dont understand.

Click on the link for GB27 root/restore and download to your PC.
Once its DL you need to extract files. Right click on your screen and make a folder gb27...then click on the DL gb27 and extract... Click to select where to extract too then select that folder you just created.
Once it's done double click until a screen pops up that says something like root/restore gb27. Boot to DL mode (power off the hold volume down and power at the sane time.. Then select volume up) and then connect to PC. Once it recognizes your device...yellow light...click start and then let it do its thing till the green pass light happens then your phone will auto reboot and then set it up.
I know this sounds like a lot. While you're DL the one click at this link watch qbkings video and it will all make sense I swear. He makes it very very easy.
grab the restore version of the one-click...being its ur first time on jb.. this will wipe ur phone data..so back up anything u need...but i definitely advise using restore version ...this will also create the correct system partition for jb on ur phone....and as stated above, Watch the qbking video...it is a great resource.....Good luck..
