Reset & Re-Install Samsung Galaxy S i9000
November 25th, 2013
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000. Its an Australian phone with an Australian provider modified OS. When I upgraded to Froyo it was slow as all hell. I had to use the oneclickfix to fix the lagging. Its definitely better, but I have seen other phones that didn’t even need this fix after froyo was installed. In order to fix the lag I needed to root the phone.
Anyway to cut a long story short, is there a way I can completely format everything on the phone. I mean back to have nothing on there and then install an unaltered version of Froyo. I don’t want Gingerbread at the moment. If someone could assist me with some links and work instructions it would be much appreciated.
P.S – I know I need to backup my things and I know how to do that.
Thanking you

Make a jig
(Basically a micro usb input with a 301k resistor and a bent over piece of wire).

all your answers found here, patience and read thoroughly
I have the same device which is from a Australian Telco, basically I had a bunch of applications from the Telco that I never used and I wanted to unlock my phone. Easiest way is to root your SGS then use Titanium backup to manually remove each telco app installed and the previous link is a good community to find out ways to root your device, also try using Youtube.com to find some tutorials if you are unsure.
Guyz, thank you all so much for your help. Apologies for the late response. Your feedback has been very helpful to me.. MUch appreciated and thank you again.
