[Q] wanna make sure I do everything right - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I just typed for 20 minutes on this reply and then accidentally closed the tab before posting. ;_; So let's try this again. It's probably going to be a bit shorter this time around, 'cause I don't wanna spend another 20 minutes, but mkay
I'm pretty new to all this, and while I think I have a decent idea of what to do, I want to make sure I'm going to be doing everything right the first time around
I was planning on doing the following:
1) install the 3 button combo fix
2) install clockworkmod recovery
3) install speedmod
4) install a custom rom
Now I have some questions regarding all this Probably very newbish questions, but alas, here goes:
1) clockworkmod=clockworkmod recovery right? same thing?
2) if I installed clockworkmod, could I still use Odin if wanted to?
3) radio, rom & kernel are 3 different things, ive been told by a friend with a HTC Hero. but I only see custom versions of ROM and Kernel for the SGS. Does that mean it's different for SGS users? how I should see this?
4) with clockworkmod I could put a backup stock rom into place to flash to in case I ever have to send my phone back, right?
5) custom roms dont include custom kernels right? since when I read custom rom threads they sometimes list kernels, as if they're included or something. confuses me. they're 2 entirely different things to install, right?
I think that's about it. Am I missing anything? I mean, is there anything I could/should do as well?
Hope you guys can help me

First.. Why would you start new tread if you could post your question in the Energy ROM tread in which you would get much easier answer????
Second: reading and understanding before moving towards to possibly screw up your device is first thing to understand
Anyhow if you wanted ROM as same as in the picture then you need to flash Energy.BLACKSTONE.23542.Sense2.5.Mar.05.7z

Did you install hspl or use uspl to flash the rom? Read the following - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377.
ok, 2 users have responded to assist you.
Firstly, Bulldog, who quite rightly asked why you didn't post this in the NRG thread in this forum instead of creating a new thread
Secondly, ClydeB1, asked whether you used HSPL or USPL which looks like a good starting point, and he also directed you to thread.
I suggest you ask the question about rom in NRG thread and ask for flashing assistance in dummies guide thread (link from ClydeB1)

[Q] problems when trying to make a recovery image/backup current rom on CWM.

ok, i have searched and have seen 1 other thread like this with the same problem, but its in the Facinate forum, so i dont know if what was aid on there applys to the Galaxy s. but basically, when i go to back up my current rom, it comes up with a message like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
what was said in the fascinate forum is that i need to flash CWM with odin for it to work properly. is this correct? and if so, how do i go about it?
thanks and sorry for being a dumbass if this is stupidly obvious.
Oliver
P.S im using hardcore's speedmod k12h 500hz kernal if that makes any difference to anything.
EDIT, this problem is now sorted....
bump, can anyone shed some light?
Install CWM first as per instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734166
I was doing it with Rom manager before, sorry i forgot to say, i have tried the process which is mentioned on the thread you suggested and have just tried it again, still no joy and its coming up with that screen in the first post. Could it be something to do with the kernal i am using?
Oliver
Bump!!!! please, anybody got any ideas... would flashing a new kernal be of any help?
so i havemade a backup using nandroid, seen as it wasnt working through rom manager. i just need to know what files should be within it for it to have backed up my rom... or should i just trust that it should be there.
Hi, if i was you i would download titanium backup, the free version is all you need, then you can create a full backup of all your system data and apps and even app data so ur settings dont change... it will take about 5 - 10 mins. then when you have flashed a new rom or what ever it is your doing, just re-apply titanium backup and let that do all the work..
yeah, i understand that. but i mean to be able to restore my stock rom if i need to? because im preeeeety sure that titanium dosent do that? (if this sounds sarcistic it isnt meant to be)
well there is an option to back everything up into a ROM but ive never used it so i dont know, besides if your changing to a new ROM and you dont like it, just download and flash back to your current ROM it only takes two ticks via clockworkMod.
but clockwork mod isnt letting me do it (make a recovery image), if you see the top of thread...
yes but you dont need a recovery image, you can flash back to your current firmware if you dont like the new one. all the system apps ect are built in to the ROM, so all you need to back up is your apps and things, which titanium backup can do
ok, i am officially confused, as i dont see how i can do that without a recovery image to reflash...

Issue with Rogers Captivate and Custom ROMs (title edit)

I'm about to save you a lot of time Rogers (Canada) Captivate users.
I spent the last 6 hours using http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html these directions to flash a rom.
Here is what they don't tell you.
This is for the AMERICAN version (AT&T) Captivate only. Yes. You will be able to install the rom on your phone... but the SIM card supplied to you by rogers will not work with this rom.
Also, after following the "excellent" tutorials online and via youtube, you will end up with a phone flashed back to "stock" (At&T) stock... with all their bloatware. AND your startup graphic will now be "AT&T world phone"
Who would have known how good we had it as Rogers customers?
Bottom line. Stay away from Serendipity, and possibly all roms. Launcher pro is better than 90% of them anyway it seems. And you can turn that off in .6 seconds.

I'm currently using Serendipty 5.2 on my Rogers Captivate with no issues what so ever. You're most certainly doing something wrong.
Nice to know. The latest version is 5.7, which I installed. I will not add a clever image showing your folly by responding to my post out of common courtesy.

How about explaining what I did wrong instead of a face palm? I know that's asking alot.
Are you saying the tut online doesn't flash to an ATnT stock? Are you saying I'm stupid? Are you saying your rom works no matter what? Tell me. Educate. Communicate.
At the very least refute my claims.
Do your self a favor and delete your comments. It is still early, not too many have read it yet. You need to read much more and gain a better understanding before you post something like this
It would appear that the statement made by the OP is false, in that the ROM works on various versions of the device.
If you need assistance, make a new thread in Captivate Q&A, without a title directing the issue at one particular ROM (how about something like the new title of this thread?)
Explain what you have tried, what isn't working (exactly), and someone might be so good as to tell you what you did wrong.

[Q] Bought a new Vibrant with custom ROM

Hey there - I just bought my wife a used Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (I9000M) and it came with a custom rom / cwm recovery already installed - now I'd keep it as it seems to work ok, but since it's for my Wife, I'd rather just return it to stock as she doesn't need all the custom rom enhancements I don't think.
What i'd like to do is return it to a stock Samsung ROM - or at least something really close to stock. (Something that has all the stock Samsung apps maybe?) I'm not familiar at all with the rom that's on there so it may be the best one available, I have no idea. This is my Wife's first Android phone and I'd rather not turn her off of it because of some custom roms issues.
My problem is that I'm not sure how to go back. I've read a bunch of articles on here and I just got confused since there are so many different modems and regions, or whatever. I'm not a total noob with custom roms, I've put dozens on my Dell Streak, but the Samsung seems to be a bit more complicated (to me at least). If someone could help me by listing the steps required to go back to stock or if they can recommend an optimized stock rom, something like that, I'd really appreciate it.
Here's what I have on there now...

and there you have to pick the file with UGJL2 firmware, download, doubleclick to extract it and then just follow the instructions in the thread fireburn postet.have fun
I run doc 9.9.5 myself, JS8 2.2.1 is a better ROM than JL2 2.2 and the speedmod kernel is also better than stock...but whatever.
I have all the Samsung stock apps on mine (not the Bell ones, don't really need them unless you pay a ton for mobile TV), but whoever cooked that one up might have left them off.
Thanks a lot folks! I might just look at possibly cooking another rom that has all the standard apps in it.
I did notice something that doesn't work in my current ROM, when I connect the USB cable, the option to mount the sd memory as a mass storage device isn't available. Does anyone else have that issue (or have you seen it before)? Do you think cooking a new ROM up in the kitchen would resolve that or do I have to go back to stock for that feature?
Thanks,
Steve
Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB settings
Don't know what setting it could be on now but change it to 'mass storage'

[Q] [Problem] can't install app2sd

I dont get this... when I follow this I get

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
when I follow this in the result I get - NO Change?!
I dont know what I'm screwing up here...
when usb debug is on and what ever the mode(charge, or sd mounted) I still end up with the same...
Дa, I'm rooted with xRecovery and the rom is stock nothing more...
I dont know,I'm thinking to get a custom rom but there are way too many for a basic user like me to chose from...I just want more space in that thing
p.s. I read that when you leave gps on its not consuming the battery unless some app starts to use it. Is this true? I've lost the phone like 2 times and I would like to use the gps tracking thing in that case...
Most custom 2.2 Roms are easy to install and use, may i suggest Froyobread as its what i use and i have tried most of them and find it the best. Apps2sd working, battery use very good and max 108 free RAM, avg 70-90mb. Just Backup current stock in xrecovery and install custom zip from sd, place Froyobread in folder called roms along with all others and then its easy to keep track of them. Root is pretty much useless without custom rom.
Your problem can be answered well if you posted this on General Section.
Wrong section sweetie.
@corsav6
specified rom link mabe?
theres like a ton on the internet and all have good and bad ratings...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079463
Thats Froyobread from dioxanh, i find it the best but everyone has their fav.
ok I'll try that out but I still like stock cuz when I go to the place Where I got it they wont help me
You will get all the help you need here at xda. if you dont like the rom you can just restore your stock rom from xrecovery. if you brick your phone you can use the repair function in pc companion and it will unroot and restore factory rom.
And they(the shop)prob wont help now your rooted and have xrecovery installed.
Ok so I got a hackdroid now so if I come back to stock I'll revive the thread.(also made a conclusion that for app2sd to work it has to be ext3 format partition. well atleast for me...)
