Installed Froyo 2.2 (updated through Samsung Kies), then installed OCLF Oneclicklagfix and rooted succesfully.
If I understood it correctly, when a new android firmware is available through Kies, I will not be able to get the new firmware, because I unofficialy rooted the phone. Therefor, I would like to know; how can I get the phone back to the original state (before I installed lagfixes and rooted the phone)?
Is a factory reset with the three key combination sufficient enough?
DISABLE THE LAGFIX FIRST.
Download the Firmware from samfirmware.com and use a flash with Repartition. I recommend you to flash your stock version and then use Kies to update.
If you want to restore to factory settings, you may do so after flashing the new firmware by going to the Recovery Menu and Wiping Data/Factory Reset.

sorry for such a noob question, but right now I had a odin3 stock flashed jh6 captivate and used rom manager to update to jh7. I want to reflash to stock again, but want to flash directly to jh7.
Is it possible to flash directly to jh7 and bypass jh6 altogether?

Should basically be that... except that it comes rooted already.
You also have the option of using the new "Kies Mini" to perform the update "officially":

Hello, sorry if this has been posted before but the search function is awful.
I have a UK i9000 (SGS) on Vodafone
I had my phone working great with some custom rom, Tayutama edition was my favourite. I dropped the phone on top of my computer, it went haywire and started resetting every few minutes. It would do it if you flicked it or jolted it so I assumed that it was probably a connector in the battery. It was not something I could fix so I prepared to phone so I could send it back as a warranty job. With a lot of work, I managed to return it to a stock firmware 2.1 (via ODIN), I have sucessfully updated it (via ODIN) to XXJPY and I am using kernel 2.6.32.9 hardcore_speedmod-k12r-500hz #6. My Phone is rooted with ch root.
I can get into clockworkmod recovery fine (by installing ROM Manager), i can install a custom rom no problem (it flashes correctly), but it refuses to boot after the flash process is complete. It just gets stuck at the 2nd boot screen (whether this is custom or the standard SGS gleam logo). It does this with various custom rom's and I was wondering what the problem might be. As I said, I could flash custom roms at my leisure until i dropped the phone, now it wont work. I am sure that it is not the phone that is phsyically broken as this sounds likely, but probably my flashing root.
To get the phone working, after flashing a problem rom, I must always use ODIN to flash JM6 with 512 pit and the XX CSC. Then I can flash JPY with ODIN (using an all in one package, so no CSC/modem etc), then root, speedmod kernel etc.
Anyone got any suggestions as to why?
do you have lagfix enabled on your speedmod kernel ? that can cause issues..
also how long are you letting it boot for ?? after a flash my phone can take upto 15mins to get past the boot screen.
last few times i had it disabled i think.
I did a full wipe of the SD card and the internal SD card, then flashed from download with odin successfully. Therefore the lagfix cant have been enabled as I understand it. I have disabled it the proper way (cant remember how) and still unsucessful.
In my experience it normally takes between 3-5 mins for the first boot, I had left it well over 2 hours once (to prove to myself that it was not my lack of patience) with out any change. I have tried taking out the battery, re-inserting it and booting again (for another 2 hours) and no success.
Is there a foolproof way to ensure the lagfix is disabled? Last time I tried a custom rom, I was coming from a totally stock firmware phone. No lagfix applied, no custom kernel, only rooted to allow clockwork recovery to install, should I try it again without rooting the phone, IE just using clockworkmod's update.zip at recovery?

http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5 download that and flash it with odin using the pit included and CHECK REPARTITION.. then when thats done flash JPY thru odin and then you could flash speedmod kernel thru odin..
when all that is done it will leave you with CWM and in there you can root / unroot You will be un rooted as default, also you can enable lagfix / disable lagfix you will have lagfix disabled by default too.
you are right about lagfix being removed when going back to stock.
so when all that is done your phone will be stock except the kernel, if all that works you should be good to start again..
just one more thing, when you are flashing a rom thru CWM you are choosing install update from sd card >> chose update from sd card right ??? you dont need to be rooted to flash speedmod kernel
My i9000 is on i9000xxjvb stock rom. I flashed modified kernal to make it rooted and cwm enabled. I am unable to move appear from phone memory to internal SD. An error message appears " failed to move application, not enough memory."
To get rid of this, i tried Hamsterbread 1.1 custom rom, but problem not solved. I used every method from hard reset to wipe cache, data and more. But nothing happened.
Now I want to downgrade to froyo. I don't know how to do this? Please, tell the procedure in detail and step by step. I belong to India. There is no 2.2.1 version available for India. Can I go for other regions versions? or I should stick with i9000ddjp6 which is latest verison for India. Thanks
i havnt tried downgrading. but i think you could try flashin back using odin with bootlooder froyo.
i live in india but use european firmware an see no problem
^^ Im not sure about this. I think you can just flash a Froyo ROM via CWM. I am not sure about this. It always makes sense to search around before you do either. Good Luck!
If you flash speedmod (or whatever froyo kernel you choose) through odin, then simply install whatever rom through cwm via zip file. The downgraded froyo rom doesn't need bootloaders, the gingerbread ones are backwards compatible. Tried it myself and it worked without a hitch.
Just flash any stock firmware through ODIN with pit and repartitioned tick and you are good to go.
Makes sense to open eyes and read the post that tells you how .Or even use the search button .

just download a stock froyo firmware and flash with odin. there are tutorials all over the place
just flash froyo kernel using odin and then enter clockwordmod install zip
Hi,
Here's my story, I was running stock Froyo 2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy I9000 (India) and decided to give latest SpeedMod kernel (speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz.tar) a try, things went well and I flashed the kernel successfully via ODIN. After this I went ahead and enabled all recommended tweaks and lagfix (both data and system) this also completed successfully.
Now problem started when I followed this guide and did something wrong (I guess), I skipped the "Flashing SpeedMod Kernel" step as I was already on that and disabled the lagfix (Data + system) after disabling lagfix and rebooting android setup screen came up and my data was lost followed by lots of force closes - I went ahead and applied "galaxys-efsbackup.zip" and flashed "CM7 kernel" as instructed. After rebooting the phone was on CWM Recovery 3 and I tried "“mounts and storage” which did not worked.
Now, I have flashed back the SpeedMod kernal and back to CWM recovery 2.51 but restoring backups is not succeeding, pls. suggest how to get my phone back to a working state ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is now resolved I flashed the stock firmware via ODIN.
Pls. anybody for rescue ?
just download your stock 2.2 rom and flash the stock firmware with odin... should fix your problem
I was on Froyo 2.2, can I update to 2.2.1 latest firmware ?
Also what ODIN version and options should I flash with.
This is now resolved I flashed the stock firmware via ODIN.
Hey everyone. I have a captivate running Spenditity 6.4 and i need to restore it back to the stock firmware to have it sent in. I CANNOT use odin because my USB port is messed up and doesn't work. I need the stock firmware in .ZIP format so I can flash in CWM, I also need it to not be rooted.
Thanks in advance
If it's Gingerbread and using ext4, which it most likely is.. and you want to go back to stock.. you need to flash using Odin in order to reformat the partitions to the correct filesystem.
Well I just installed the JH7 update with clockwork, it's rooted for some reason and I need to unroot it now. Any ideas how? I only install apps that are in the marketplace now.
