Flashing the nonservice sbf will clear all data.

I was able to do it Quite Easily...What exactly happens when you try to flash the Stock Sbf?Any error or what?And which SBF are you trying to Flash?2.0 and 2.0.1 will make the Boot loader hang.
Hong Kong 2.0.1 or 2.0
I am following those steps...I am ok when I flash the GOT 2.2, but I can't when I want 2.1 back
interesting enough...I can now successfully flash UK 2.1 and when I help my friend to flash GOT 2.2, it fail again. the RSD said flash error...
the error code is 0x7100, i've search for it and some people said moving the file to other location will help. I did it but seems the error is still here, or the RSD skip all process and said finished, nothing changed! Do any one know how to solve?

Use this patch.
Then you can install roms with the locked bootloaders by modifying the odin files before you flash. You have to untar the files, remove a few files, them retar the files into the odin file, and flash.
I am in desperate need of help you guys! I screwed up so hard that I don't even know where to begin...
THE SITUATION:
-Right now when I go to turn on my phone, it will only stay on the current SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen (the very first screen when booting your phone) and it keeps flashing in and out.
Before trying to use Odin to put back the original Kernal on my phone, it was just stuck as the SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen, still wouldn't start. <I followed this website step by step>
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...-to-a-stock-rom-after-installing-darky's-rom/
BEFORE ALL OF THIS EVER HAPPENED:
I finally rooted my phone and manage to download Clockworkmod recovery on my phone and then used it to flash Darky's 10.2 custom ROM. Everything turned out great except at the beginning of the boot, the screen turned all rainbow coloured, completely distorted, and it continued to do that. I then tried to go back to Recovery mode to do the Voodoo lagfix but I couldn't even get into the recovery mode anymore, it either wouldn't let me, or it did but the screen didn't go to it properly (more likely the first one). I read somewhere that if you reflash your phone again, it should make all the tweeks go away. So I tried that from the Darky's tools menu and ever since then, I've been stuck with the Boot Screen this whole time...
I already bricked my phone once, and that was before the Flashing Boot Screen.
I really need help you guys, I would at least like to have my phone back to the original basis, at least! Your help would be greatly appreciated!
THANK YOU
P.S. (i'm not that great at all this phone tweeking, but I've succeeded in doing it up until yesterday)
Can you get into download mode (vol down+home+power while putting the battery in)?
If you can, just reflash a stock or custom rom in odin (like a darky odin rom) as guided by whatever rom you choose.
If you cannot get into download mode then we should know that too.
Edit: oh it looks like you could (and hopefully still can). Try a different rom or reflash. Sometime things do go wrong but as long as you can get to the download screen you should be fine in the end.

Yes, I can get into download mode! (thank you for reading my post).
If it's not too much to ask, could you maybe find the ROM that would be good for me to flash, considering my situation?
I want to be sure that it's what the top tech guys would recommend
A link would be appreciated
thank you again!
I'd start with a Darky rom - lots of users - active forum and odin editions for your situation. I have to go but you'll find the link on the first page of the development section.

So in essence all I have to do is flash the Darky ROM V10.2 with Odin using the Download mode on my phone and it should be okay?
Wait one caveat. Was it a gingerbread rom or froyo? Use a Darky rom of the same type...
Then yes it should be ok if you follow their guide. Cross fingers.

well...I did everything you said. The ROM is on there alright, it flashed and everything (And I know this because now when the boot screen STILL FLASHES, the darkcore & darky's rom logo are on it too).
THIS TIME AROUND:
The stock recovery seems to work...
any ideas??
Well we are sort of in long shot territory now... OK first try using a different odin version or ez odin and reflash.
If still not working??
Might be warranty time then but others are welcome to chime in.

tried ezodin, flashed it, and i still get the exact same thing I've exhausted every single possibility there is!!!
I really need help on this, my warranty is not gonna do anything because i have the phone rooted..
If you flash a stock rom with pit the root is gone. It won't boot but they can't prove it was you either and I don't think it was you.
But see my other post on your other thread for one last thought.

okay that could be useful data potentially (let's hope it won't have to be).
If you didn't see my reply from the other thread, here it is:
Once I rooted my phone, I automatically went from Stock Froyo to Darky's 10.2 extreme edition. It worked and everything except for that color disfiguration and the clockworkmod recovery not working.
It's weird because after I flashed my first darky's rom, i checked the phone and it said that the firmware version was 2.3.X (I believe X may have been 4). So from what you're saying, I don't exactly think it has anything to do with the fact that I went straight from froyo stock to GB darky ROM.
So are you saying that I should flash darky's 9.3 for Froyo and THEN flash the latest version?
No I think that you need froyo re edition then stock gb with bootloader (as the instructions say I thought) then a custom gb like 10.2.

Ok, so just to be 100% on this
-I should flash Darky's 9.2 froyo onto my phone,
-then I should flash regular GB onto my phone (Not sure about the bootloader part though, if you could clarify that)(Also where would I get JUST a stock GB ROM?)
-then I can flash a custom GB ROM?

well i can safely say that flashing the 9.2 froyo rom was a fail. It's still doing the same old routine.
I just know that this problem can be fixed somehow without sending it in to bell or samsung or something.

I think you are right but other than trying again and again, which I've done before -though now I know why I had too - I am out of suggestions. Good Luck and if I have a brainwave I'll let you know.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App
OK a few last brainwaves:
1) Try a fully complete stock rom with cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin, param.lfs, zImage, and sbl.bin (this was from JL2 rom for Bell - not sure if they all have the sbl.bin) and pit.
The key is to make sure it is complete. Try downloading the same rom from 2 different sources just to be sure its not a corrupt download (going overboard I know).
2) Can you get into recovery? Try to format partitions (not system) under advanced features (I think - I only have 3e right now as I am trying to diagnose other issues).
3) If you have a froyo rom on at one point, try to put a steam recovery kernel on. Its not really being developed anymore but I think that if you put a CWM packaged rom on to the external SD you could flash from there or at least move it to the internal and then flash it. Worth a shot. Or you might be able to transfer one in regular CWM recovery - can't recall as I have not had to try for about 8 months.
4) If you really want to try something completely different, and I am not sure I've got the balls if it was me but if you can get a file to flash from CWM or steam that you can get on from the external SD, you might try CM7. It uses a completely different file system so you'd have to go back to froyo via odin only (as a samsung based rom will not play well when flashed on top of the cm7 file system).
And calling it a day at this one...

Okay, basically at this point, I just want my phone to work I've tried what you said. I remember that before rooting my phone initially I was running Froyo 2.2.1. So I found the ROM for that ( http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm ) Just like you said. I downloaded from the *Provider Samsung Galaxy S i9000 heading and picked the I9000BOJS5 ## from February 2011 because I think somewhere around there I updated my phone to Froyo. Flashed it, did everything, still no luck.
I've had a recent hunch though. When the bootscreen boots up, it keeps saying i9000 only, when before it used to say i9000M at least for a little bit (yes my phone is i9000m). Is there a stock froyo rom that's specifically designed to go with the i9000m model? Or are they just all the same?
Never give up
-Thank you so much
Hi!
I have a SGS i9000, half of a year ago I installed a custom ROM. Since then I didn't have my native language in phone, found some files that added it back, but didn't work for gingerbread versions. Now I have some weird problems with my phone, starting from not able to hold calls and ends with some weird really quiet sounds. I asked the phone distributor about these problems, he asked if I have flashed Custom ROMs, he said it is a common problem with them.
Is there a way to flash "the real" ROM on my phone?
I have flashed over 10 different versions, none of them work right, because KIES says I have an unknown version or that this version cannot be updated.
Try a new custom rom, but if you want stock, go to samfirmware.com you will be able to download any stock rom you wish.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Like I said I tried to install many different versions, I downloaded them from that site. All of them resulted with one of 2 errors that I said before with KIES. I think I need to download it somewhere else. Also almost all versions needed to flash dbdata.rfs
Flash jm9 with pit 512 check repartition.

For those of us who purchased our phones in China, there is a way to change to the newest ROM from India or anywhere else for that matter, Some of us ran into issues where ODIN failed to flash and we had a softbrick as a result forcing us back to the Chinese ROM, so here we go.
Note: You might need Mobile ODIN pro and that will require a small investment
Step one: requires root, so choose your favorite kernel and flash with ODIN
Step two: you will need to extract the factoryfs.img from the md5 file you downloaded.
Step Three: move the factoryfs to the root of your sdcard int or ext
Step Four: MobileODIN is required unless you know of another tool
Step Five: Use MobileODIN and select factoryfs as the system file
Step six: MobilODIN will allow you to inject the root tools you need to keep root
Step seven: Push Flash Firmware and wait for the process to complete
Step Eight: you now have a new system with GAPPS minus the Chinese software
Oh. Very interesting! I'll need to check this out as soon as i got the time...
You could be my saviour.

Have it checked it works but i dont find the factory.img from chines ICS rom
It does work indeed, so far no problems found. The factory image will be in every ROM image that Sammobile has on the site.
Is it good, stable and everything is working, recovery, download mode ? Any bugs?
