[Q] i9000 voodoo installation

hello all
I am using the I9000 international version
official rom 2.3.3 I9000ZSJV6
I tried installing the new voodoo and turns out there is the signature problem, realizing is the recovery 3e which is causing it.
so now I wonder if I can still install it through Odin? Just select the PDA and starts it?
Will I lost any data in my phone? I already have pictures contacts and stuffs backup, but just don't want to lose those installed applications.
Thank you very much for answering, helping and even just reading it!
Appreciate it, Thank you.
p.s. got another question in flashing roms, so do i also lost all data by flashing a new rom?

I haven't i9000 but i'm sure you have to flash a custom recovery like CWM first...

Yes. 3e Recovery is the problem. If you want to get 2e Recovery which will solve this issue forever, you will need to flash CF-Root.
Either that or you downgrade your SGS to Eclair 2.1 (Step by Step) and flash it back to what you want to gain 2e Recovery.
And yes. You can flash a kernel via Odin with PDA. If you flash KERNEL ONLY, your data will not be wiped out. However, if you are to flash a new ROM, all your Data will be wiped out.

Thanks all

Reflash to stock kernel and start from clean might do the trick.

urgh
but my backed contacts are save as .sbu
might just flash it back to official rom and apply lag fix....
SpeedMod Gingerbread and Talon Kernel Alpha should work just fine with official rom right?
sorry for so many questions, thanks for helping!
btw how to remove lagfix if i wanna update through kies in the future?

[Q] Stuck with a farmated phone

Hi Guys
Maybe the answer on this question is easy for you guys, but I have searched a lot and can't find the answer.
My problem.
I have had a custom rom on my phone for a half year.
Then I wanted to install a stock rom, so I rebooted to recovery and formatted it all.
Then did I find a custom rom, and tried to download it with Odin.
First stock rom stopped in the middel of the installation.
Then I tried another version, it did not help either. I did finish the installation, but screwed up my bootloader.
Is have installed a new bootloader again and think it works again.
Then did I read in a thread that it's important that I now which rom version my phone is running. (JPY JPO ect.)
How can I find out which stock rom belongs to my phone, when I only have download mode and recovery.
I also tried to install Darkys rom, but realised i didn't knew how to push the file into the sd card in download mode.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
I really don't now how to get my phone up and running again.
Thanks in advance

You don't need to place the Darky's ROM on the SD card. Just put your phone into download mode and use Odin as instructed in Darky's thread. You install the ROM from your PC.
And in future, you may want to do a little more research into how to use odin to handle problems before you flash something new...it will save you a lot of stress.

Next time I will be more carefull.
I just tried to install another stock rom, and this did also screw up me bootloader.
It's the same error as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140
Do anyone know why ?

I'm sorry, but I can't find the thread which are describing how to install with odin.
Only how to install with Darky app, which have to be installed on a working rom.

I did and it's okay.
But I still don't know how to install a stock rom on my phone, without getting a error.

Now i have tried several stock roms and after installing I still get the same error as on the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140
Why is this not working for me?
I'm going for getting a stock rom on the phone. Darkys was only an emergency, if I can't make the stock installation to work.

Did rom files downloaded properly? And theres issue that flasging often fails while using odin 1.7 and 64bit windows 7 (and maybe other 64x).

Great... Now the reason you had the issue like the thread (which was likely answered in the thread) was that a file, likely dbdata.rfs was not on the package and you repartitioned it. So that partition never gets created and then can't be mounted.

[Q] DarkyRom 10.2 RE Issues/Question

Hey Guys,
I have a couple of questions in regards to going back to stock from DarkyROM 10.2.
After using 10.2 for about a month now, I have noticed that while the rom is fast, There are quite alot of glitches in my day to day operations. My 3D HD games no longer work smoothly (as they did in 2.3.3 with CWM), the phone will randomly freeze up when using the browser/gallery/calender etc. After multiple re-flashes I am coming to the conclusion that to get back to my original performance I may need to flash a stock JVQ and then mayby just us CF ROOT or something of the like to get CWM access.
My question is, what preparations need to be done before preforming this flash. Also, can the stock files be flashed with ODIN? Also, if anyone has any input on why DARKYROM 10.2 seems to have these issues, please feel free to let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!
Phone Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Vibrant (i9000m)
DarkyRom 10.2 RE -w- KC1 Modem
Only Mod preformed after flashing RE was updating the SMS application to the SGS2 App to restore the chat bubble colors. The issues were present before this update. Did the update through DarkyRom Tool.
If you guys need any more information, just let me know..

Anyone??????

Alright, I'll take this one if no one else will. I too have the i9000m, and have learned all I can about keeping it alive and well. Going back to stock is easy. Go to general and look for the stock firmware thread. You will get instructions there on how to flash with odin. I've never used darky before but I did use CM7 and flashed back no problem. You could also look for Ramad's prerooted roms. I'm running one right now, UGKG3. Works great as I couldn't root it myself.

Hey Dude, Thanks alot for your response! One more question before making the switch....Should the voodoo lag fix that comes with Darky 10.2 be disabled before flashing with Odin back to stock?

If you want to go back to stock ROM. Before flashing disable the lagfix (for safe). You can download the firmware from www.samfirmware.com. and its an odin base installation.
Post your problem in www.darkyrom.com some expert will help you...

Hey guys.
I have flashed stock ROM (2.3.4) via Odin and worked absolutely fine. Didn't need to fiddle with the lagfix or anything. Simply popped phone into DOWNLOAD mode and flashed (with re-partition/wipe and backing up "stuff" beforehand).
The lagfix menu I think, is in the RECOVERY mode in the extended power options menu. I think thats the CWM with the DarkyROM maybe? Either way, you can enable/disable the lagfix in that menu.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Home screen completely gone.

I have the captivate from rogers (canadian SGH-I896)
It is running KH2 (RWC) firm ware according to Kies.
I rooted the phone and was uninstalling some bloatware via titanium backup
when I musta removed something unholy.
As when I tried to close titanium backup I had no home screen at all. Upon reboot I still have no home screen. I still ahve the notification menu pull down.
When I receive a txt I can type and reply to it but I can do nothing that involves the homescreen it is completely blank.
I tried to factory reset the phone but it did not fix the issue. I tried searching and could not find anyone who had the same problem.
Any advice?
EDIT - I followed this link (Samsung Galaxy S APK List)with respect to uninstalling the bloatware:
But, as it was not rogers specific I removed all the rogers stuff (Account, ring back, etc) I also did remove Y! Finance clock which I have now read was also a bad idea.

There might be an easier way but I would try flashing a new rom. Or flashing back to stock using Odin or heimdall. Do you have a custom recovery?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

I was using the stock ROM from kies. And I had no flash back up or anything to fix my phone (which in the future I will make sure I do!)
When I try to reflash my ROM using kies it says I already have the newest one. so I reckon I will have to download the stock rom from somewhere else and flash it my self?
Should I go back words to Eclair and then reflash using keis to gingerbread?

I wouldn't worry with kies. There is a heimdall one click that will take you back to stock froyo or gingerbread ( your choice) and will already be rooted and I'm pretty sure it removes bloat ware. Just download it to your computer. Put your phone into download mode hook it up and run the program.

HELP! Recovery bootloop!

So i was testing out one of my ports which doesnt boot. I went to format data through mounts and storage, overshot and formatted my internal sd. So now, i cant boot into system, and cant put a .zip onto my phone. So i flashed semaphore with odin, then used my moms sd card to try to flash a rom from. But now it just boots into recovery. I cant find any ics roms to flash with odin. So i have to go back to stock.. I have the stock samfirmware file (I9000XXKG3-HomeBinary.tar) (<- something like that). But there is no one package option in odin. Help appreciated.

Go to:
[Firmwares]Official I9000/I9000M Firmwares collection [Latest: XWJW6, XWJW5, XXJW4]
Scroll to - Gingerbread 2.3.3 firmwares section - North America (I9000M)

I already have stock firmware, i need to know how to flash the single package

Put it in PDA section with repetition ticked and flash

It will take you all of a minute to download the three parts (comes in one file) and you get the exact instructions to ODIN flash.

Try Flashing this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671
a newer version is available @ http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
After flashing one of the roms obove, all should be fine again and you can start flashing the rom you originially wanted ;-)

I figured out my first problem, I flashed kg3 cause I forgot that my i9000 is international, not a Canadian one. (Even though I'm in Canada).
So I will flash JVU like it originally was and then flash the darky rom.
Thanks for the help!
