Try just running the 'step2-windows.bat'.
Some people say this happens under win x64, and others say it's something to do with the 1.31 rom.

hi,
u need just to take the "testimage.zip" file and save it in ur mini sd card
after that rename the file to ""LEGEIMG.zip"
go to fastboot and wait till the device recognize the file
u will receive a message to install the file
after it finish install the rom ur fone is rooted
"u may need to use the goldcard for this step
then fallow below step to install ur rom after u fone is rooted
Installation
Just copy this file to root of your SD card and rename it to update.zip. You can also use previous non-customized version.
Good Luck

HELP!! how to get back to original software?

Help, i need this REALLY fast.
My friend got a sgs, and i flashed a new kernel (backed up the original one) and a new rom.
Now i don't know how to get back...
Anyone help me?
Do i have to restore the kernel and use Samsung Kies?

He's running a custom 2.2 ROM and wants to go back to stock 2.1
Should i use Odin? Will this brick anything if it goes wrong?
Damnit i'm in trouble

right ! chill out, take a breath lol you will be back to normal before you no it !!
first of all, go to www.samfirmware.com to get the firmware you need.
put the downloaded files in the correct boxes using Odin.
If the firmware comes in 3 files, Use 512 PIT and check re-partition
hit start, wait for the pass sign and your done !!

You need the jm1 firmware from samfirmware.com, use the flashing instructions on their site using odin.its very simple, just take your time. Jm1 is a low level firmware for 2.1 which will enable you to upgrade to the latest offering via kies making your phone completely stock and "legit".
It will remove the 3 button recovery and download mode which you can restore using instructions elsewhere but I guess that is the least of your worries for now and is the price for going back to eclair.
Good luck and take your time.

you have to flash it using odin. try to find your original firmware in www.samfirmware.com, if not, try to find it using checkfusdownloader descrybed in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032437.
once you flash it, sometimes you need to restore your csc code using *#272* Imei # .
once you done that, your phone will be like new, and kies will recognize it, and you will be able to upgrade it via Kies.

You say that you saved the original rom .
That should be re storable depending upon format as to how .

turn the phone off press and hold volume down , the middle button and power this should give you download mode....
and why would your friend want 2.1? doesn't even support flash...
You should tell your friend to flash JS8 android 2.2.1 it will make the sgs alot better

[Question] Help needed and advice regarding upgrading my firmware please.

Hi everyone, I am brand new sgs owner and first time smart phone user and I upgraded my phones firmware on kies to 2.3.3 / baseband xxjvo / build number gingerbread.xwjvh
I been talking to a few people that have got 2.3.4 and cyanogen mod 7. And I really want to get one of them because my battery life is pathetic on 2.3.3
I have an idea how to do it (I have watched alot of tutorials) but what is confusing me is all the different downloads like cwm and speed mod, kernals, ROMS. All these terms are driving me mad as I dont know if I need to flash this stuff first to upgrade the firmware.
I have been told I may or may not need to root my phone to make it all work because of the current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3?? So what do i do?
Can I just flash a new firmware on via odin? or do i need to flash diff kernals or clockwork mod or speed mod what ever they are to make it work properly.
Im sure its all easy enough once its understood but I cant find basic explanations for all these terms.
I really dont want to mess up my phone but i know I can get this done once i know how.
So could someone that knows please tell me once off, what do I have to do to upgrade from gingerbread 2.3.3 xxjvo to something better like cm7 or 2.3.4.
Do I need to root first? install CWM or speed mod or whatever.
Also what is CWM and speed mod. are the roots?
Sorry for not knowing anything as i said its my first smart phone and I want to get to know how to use it to its full extent
Will greatly appreciate any advice/ help given.
If some ones going to help me could they post the links to the downloads that i will need.
Thanks very much

1.its simple root ur fone first via odin and then flash the voodoo/fugumod lagfix(incase ur experience any lag)
2.Download Rom Mgr premium and download (cyanogen mod7 ,nightlies or watever)
3.Take a backup using Mybackuppro or titanium backup before u flash cm7
4.Go to Rom Mgr Premium and then install the rom of ur choice and also make sure u check GAPPS(if u want gmail, market an all crap)
I m a newbie 2 Galaxy S myself, but i have quite som experience on rooting other fones

Thanks for the reply but what is rom mgr? and must i pay for it if its premium
And what is the download for the correct root I have seen a thread by chainfire with hundreds of root downloads but I dont know what one to use.
Is a ROM the same thing as a firmware?

Do I still need to root the phone before I can flash cm7 from sd card? Do I put it on internal or external sd card? And If so what root do I use for my particular firmware

Anybody? ? Someone must be able to help me

Here are some posts I think will help u find some answers,
Download mode is HOME BUTTON+VOL DOWN+POWER BUTTON
Recovery mode is HOME BUTTON+ VOL UP+POWER BUTTON
1 Android ROM and rooting dictionary: all the terms explained
2 A link explaining how to flash a custom Rom via Odin and their downloads.
3 Deodexed Stock roms
Hope this helps. By the way all these are custom rom lists and not samsung stock firmware.

Thank you for the reply. Is cm7 a custom Tom?
How safe is it to use a custom rom instead of a Samsung rom.
Can some one tell me is there a particular order I need to follow to upgrade my phones firmware.
Like root then something else followed by the firmware.
Could I upgrade from xxjvo without rooting?
Again sorry all the questions I feel like a dumbass.
Thanks

Double post

Again sorry for being persistent but could someone give be a step by step quire to upgrading my current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3 to something better for battery and better radio signal.
Must the phone be rooted first? Must I install anything else before or after the new firmware
Thanks

Hi, check out samfirmware.com to download stock 2.3.4
I'm on the newest jvr, and my battery is good.
It's also flash manuals there for how to use odin.
thats the safest!
If you want root permission, you can flash cfroot kernel after the rom.
Edit: i'm on the oldest 2.3.4 jvr, looks like it came a new relese today.

Is a specific ROM needed to run a different firmwares? or vice verse?
If I flashed 2.3.4 does that mean I have a new ROM or new firmware or both?
thanks

Pls do refer my previous post for upgrading to 2.3.4 GB roms (2)
2.3.4 roms are way better for battery. There are some light weight roms with excellent battery life eg SURFACE,Matrux rom, Juwe's Smart Edition(My Pick) etc
You dont need to be rooted to flash a custom rom via ODIN.
CM7 is a custom rom and I would recommend it only if you know what u r doing. Its not very advisable for a noob (imho).
There is insanity cm7 034 with gb boot loaders [ROM] insanity CM 034 [16.08.2011] - Multi DPI But its in heavy dev stage. Pls go through their thread before flashing it.
Here is the EZBOOt link

Thanks for Advance Help

You need to root your firmware first head over to this thread
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
when you are done with rooting and installing clockworld recovery mod you can easily flash to LA4 through cwm recovery
visit this section and download any LA4 custom roms u may want.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1349
Steps are given in every thread how to flash it via cwm recovery so pay attention to it and follow exactly as they told u to flash it.
You are done ..
i am also from india i got the same Kl3 version i did the same way as i stated above and i am currently on [XXLA4]CheckROM Revo NoteHD™ V5 no problem yet its smooth and fast
and about the question of warranty, rooting voids the warranty of your phone and flashing if not done properly may harm your phone so its upto you to decide as no one here takes responsibilty if something happens to your phone , at end its your phone do what you want ..

There is no problem to use LA4, I m in india too, n using LA4 since it released.
If you set to LA4, you won't get ICS update over OTA/Kies. But you can always update it manually, stay tuned to XDA, how to get ICS, when it becomes available. OR simply you can revert back to KL1 indian ROM anytime n get ICS from OTA/Kies.
Now How to update KL1 to LA4.
That depend you want to Root your Phone or Not.
If you dont want to Root your device, simply download ROM LA4 and flash using PC odin.
If you want to Root, you have to Root it right Now on KL1, b'coz LA4 is non rootable. Just get Root + CWM n update to LA4 using either CWM OR Mobile Odin Pro.
Now rearding guide -
You can use 1st link on my signature to get Root + CWM to your KL1
Use 2nd link on my signature to download LA4
use Post #2 n 3 of same thread to find How to update it

It won't brick if you follow exact procedure. If there is brick in case, most of time it is not real brick, it may be semi brick, which can be recoverable. and yourself also can do it, depend on problem you are having.
If any major issue or real brick happen, it can be depends on kind of error it have. reaction to Samsung totally depends on the issue you have.
If you update to Germeny, still you won't get update from germany, if your CSC is not set to it, again it is different things. But in real way it is much easier to get manual update, b'coz OTA/Kies update will erase your Root.
Backup is just image partition of your currant device, you can back to your ROM + currant settings + data, with few clicks, note for that you shud have running device + CWM. incase your device not getting into recovery, that backup have no role at that time, but you can flash to stock ROM, n then you can restore from your backup.

Yes, for rooting + CWM, you just go to first link on my signature, at the lower part of OP, you will find, 'I have Kernel KL1' - download it, extract n execute.
You will get Indian DDKla1 + Root + CWM.
you can flash Rocket ROM, by CWM. It is advisable to wipe data before flashing Rocket ROM,(it will lost your data, so you shud backed up it)you have to store zip file of said ROM to your memory card, get device into recovery (Home + Vol up + power), select Install zip from SD card, point to zip file, where you have stored it(there is separate menu for Int/Ext memory).

Thanks again Dr.Ketan.
Below is what i am seeing my mobile under about phone menu.
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.7-N 7000XXKL3-CL 793489
[email protected]#2
From the kernel version, KL3 is kernel version..rite? this is i have discovered frm chainfire's rooting thread. so it means i shud use KL3 version? or KL1 version?

Present i am in kL3 after rooting my phone can i directly flash with custom roms or i wan to root+cmw then i want to flash with custom roms
Plz provide u r mobile no brother @ Mr ketan

yes your kernel showing KL3, you have to download 'I have kernel KL3' theoritically.
But if i say frankly, it doesn't have difference, I have KL7, i flashed CF ernel KL7, that time, then after i pass through LA1,La3,La4, i still have CF root KL7, i didn't bother to change it, n working flawless. So nothing to worry much.

You have to get Root + CWM too. b'coz custome ROM available in flashable zip file. It need CWM.

seriously bro.. theres no need to worry at all. just follow doc ketan's thread plus u can watch his fully illustrated video also (dont read all posts in his signature threads and confuse yourself, just read the firsts few posts written by ketan only). in fact there's not much we have to do to root (everything is automatic/background task). first android phone is always exciting! i had the same tension like you.. but there's nothing to worry.. if something goes wrong i can guarantee one of us will give you a call.. chill!

Is ROM manager working? What rom are you using?

Hello! Unfortunately I could not follow the Note developement that much, as I did with the Desire HD before.
I liked it with the Desire HD, I had tried many different roms, and switched without problems with titanium backup for the apps and rom manager to change different roms....putting the cyanogen was a joke, easiest thing.
Now I am on stock ICS 4.0.3 with the note, plus root permission.
I would like to improve performances in games, and see if I can get Epic Citadel to start...because until now i only get a black screen as soon as the 3d rendering in real time should begin (that means, after the loading screen).
So, is it easy enough to put another rom? If yes, which rom would you recommend? I was very happy with cyanogen on the desire hd. If the results on the note are similar enough, then I wouldn't mind switching to it!
Tried reading here and there about cyanogen, but I don't get the part where you write 'dont flash from stock rom'.

since u've a rom manager wif u, all u need to do is do a backup of ur ics b4 flashing any rom.
the easiest way to flash CM is use ur rom manager to download which CM u like to flash.
after finished downloaded then ur rom manager will ask u whether want to proceed wif the installation.
i only can advice u to do a backup b4 flashing. flash it at ur own risk.
if u still not confidence then flash a safe kernel from here wif ur ics version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

but i thought rom manager was not compatible with galaxy note?

no idea about it, but i use to flash CM download from rom manager.
if u're familiar to rom manager then i suggest u to root wif PhilZ-cwm6*then do a backup.
u can use rom manager CWMR 6.0.12 but just don't use stock recovery to flash it might brick ur Phone！
remember backup ur ics when official jb released u can restore via rom manager or PhilZ-cwm6*recovery.
rom manager is just easy n lazy way for flashing rom ha ha ha.
