INSTALLED Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition VIA CWM AND WHEN START TO BOOT MY SON TURNED IT OFF ,
NOW I CANT GET INTO RECOVERY ONLY DOWNLOAD MODE WORKING HOW TO FIX THAT
had no lagfix before install and flashed the phone before wit diferent roms without any problem
If your phone is able to go into Download mode, you should be fine.
You can use odin to flash stock eclair 2.1 onto your SGS. If you're not too sure how, have a look around the forum and there should be plenty of advice on how to go about it.
If, somehow, you can't find anything, reply here again and I'll see if I can help you out.
I haven't done the same thing but the result is pretty much the same, stuck with a boot loop after installing Bell provided Android 2.2 upgrade. I can now only get into download mode, could you guide me where I can the instruction to load the stock 2.1 firmware that contains the bootloader and where I can download the files so I can try to make it work again. Thanks
Everything you need, you should be able to find on http://www.samfirmware.com , including Odin (the software used for flashing) and some guides.
Be sure to download the firmware for your location ie. Europe, Asia, America.
Read darkys thread. Do the long install. Simple.
Also the first boot with darkys rom takes about ten mins. It says so on install instructions. People panic for no reason because they get impatient
Downloaded the firmware already but it is in a .rar password protected, I am looking for the .tar of the same file I9000UGJH2. Found another site with the .exe but not sure how to use this one with Odin, the exe autoextract, but the file does not contains the .tar file and cannot find the info on how to configure Odin with this. I Will continue my research. Thanks for the info
The password is different depending on which file you downloaded. Go back to samfirmware and see whether the file had a # or ## or neither.
# Pass = samsung-firmwares.com
## Pass = samfirmware.com
Just flash any stock firmware via Odin and you'll be fine.
Thanks all for your assistance, can't wait to leave work and try that.

thanks

Hi, I have flashed various roms using the kitchen, so i thought i would try gingerbread also from the kitchen, anyway to cut a long story short i need to flash back to a previous one so i downloaded a stock to use with odin as i could get download but not recovery, so the flash went fine and it said it had finished and rebooted but it just stays on the S screen (bootup) i can still get into download and recovery, i read that i think i need to do a fresh flash using 3 files but i dont know where to get it from and what goes where. i have a galaxy I9000 in uk many thanks for your help
ok ive downloaded a pit file and a csc file and jp9 what else do i need please help

Hi guys,
I am flashing my gf's phone and tried to root the phone first. Flashed a 'PDA' file in ODIN as the guide said.
Now my Galaxy S has the BSOD (Black Screen Of Death) logo. I can still go into the Download-mode, so i guess there is no need for panic.
I read a lot of guide's and faq's here at XDA, and I think I am supposed to flash new firmware via ODIN (with a PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC file).
My problem is that all the links to this firmware are down or dead, Argh!
Can you provide me a working link with the right and some advice?
BTW, I flashed my HD2, and HTC Sensation many times before, but I am new to flashing Samsungs.
When you flashed the PIT file I assume that you selected repartition?
The PIT file contains the "Drive" layout when you select repartition it will completely wipe the phone as you have found out.
If the phone is able to boot into download mode you will be able to flash another ROM.
I would suggest Darky's 10.2 as this is a odin flashable ROM and it is based on the Samsung stock ROM's.
If you use Darky's you do not have to root the phone before flashing as Darky's complete ROM includes root standard.
Most of the new custom ROM's do not require root before hand as root is included unless the thread states other wise
Hello,
I will start with saying that Ive already checked every tutorial in every android website.
here is what I did.
I had Miui (Not the ICS one) I have tried to flash CM9 with the existing recovery. than something somewhere on the flash procedure go wrong and the phone just rebooted and putted in loop with no recovery option but download option. so I tried to flash the stock rom using odin 1.85, and the phone just looping on the image of the mobile operator. I did this procedure with the odin for more stock roms I found.
thanks in advance really I need your help...

maybe you forget ‘Re-Partition’checkbox, it's important.
Hmmm.. perhaps, you have to make sure all the files are properly placed (depending on the ROM you are installing). Also, I'd recommend using a pit file (and don't forget to click on "Re-Partition".. So far, it worked for me. ^.~
Recently I flashed my SGS i9000 to CM10 with CWM and then CM9. Now I want to downgrade to the stock GB rom. Is there any clean instruction to do that? I've searched for a long time to have a clear idea about the exact procedure and found several tutorials. But they are confusing. Some says that I have to use Odin with the re-partition option checked but someone says, don't do that. What exactly should I do? Which version of Oding should I use? Should I flash with Bootloader/ update Bootloader?
Another question is, which is the latest stock GB rom? Please help me providing download link.
How I do it every time:
Go to sammobile.com. From there download XXJW4 (I use it). Unzip it and you'll find just one .tar file.
Also beforehand go find a file named dbdata.rfs (I think it is).
Open Odin with your phone connected in download mode. Click on PDA and navigate to the .tar file.
DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THAT.
Press start. Give it a moment while it flashes everything in.
Now your phone will boot- in a bootloop. Dom't worry. Take the battery out, reconnect and go into download mode. Connect and open Odin.
Again, click on PDA and find dbdata.rfs. Again, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
Press start. It'll flash in that one file.
Done.

Hi,
I have a I9000BVJP4 (FROYO.BVJS4) phone bought in 2011 from Orange in the UK. I was trying to root the bastard to get Jelly Bean on it. I coulddnàt get 4zroot to root it, neither Once Click root method (earlier would not reboot the phone and Titanium said it wasn't rooted anyway and the second just said "failed" when it got to the end of the process).
So I decided to use the CF root method. I downloaded the various cf kernels here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 as I thought I needed to match the JS bit. So I tried JS3 which looped on intial screen the first time. JS5 and JS7 just hang on the first screen. Clearly I can get ODIN 3.07 to upload these kernels so I can get the phone to switch to download mode. THe problem is that it hangs and never boot.
I'm a bit of newbie with this stuff but I understand that as long as i can get into download mode I haven't bricked the beast. THe problem is that I donàt know how to out of this situation. I bet it's just a question of finding the right kernel and uploading with ODIN. Any suggestions? I presume the phone is still unrooted (or maybe not now that I have all these kernels uploaded through ODIN?)
Your help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks

Mate,
cheers for this although the XXJVU ROM you suggested didn't work. I decided to give the XXJVT version a go which I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and I tell you this rocks. I've finally got rotation working again and have got rid of all the crap that Orange installed.
Do you know if Jelly Bean works on the I9000 and how it performs? Is it worth installing on such an "old" device? BTW, I used the same pit file you attached. That did work. Thanks again.

No problem ever . yep, Jellybean works , infact it rocks ! . the stock gingerbread firmware is crap if compared with jellybean . I use cm 10.1 Android 4.2.2 makes my phone butter smooth doesn't matter its quite old though but works like a charm. did you root your phone ? using semaphore kernel ? you have to root it first to install jellybean for XXJVT , here's the link for the kernel :-
http://78.46.194.137/kernels/Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.9.1.tar
flash it the way i told you , you have to select it in the PDA file option in Odin. hope it works for you now .
