Ok I just got my sgs and I was wondering if I can backup my current build to restore later if any problems should come up and be able to send it to repair (warranty)
Also I want to update to 2.2.1, do I have to update through kies before I flash to darkys or another rom? Or just flash my rom with odin (I'm on 2.1)

Look up Titanium Backup or Clockwork Recovery.

You shouldn't need to. Check the install instructions for Darky's ROM (or whichever you're looking at) to be sure.
Can I roll back on the same configuration if needed? You know if I mess something up really bad and need to take the phone to get serviced?

Ok I'm not clear on this ... I install
Clockwork put darks rom on the sdcard flash it etc... My question is if I'm on jm4 can I just do that? Or do I have to first update through kies? Will it update my phone to 2.2 and jpy automatically is what I'm saying ...

If you want Froyo then your only options are to flash back to stock and then use kies mini to get the update or flash a custom ROM based on the new release.

Can I flash back using one clicklag fix or Titanium Backup?
And, I download kies.
Titanium backup only backs up your apps and data.
One Click Lag Fix? -- is a.. lag fix.
Are you still on 2.1? Or are you on 2.2 right now?
one click had a button to unroot. 2.1. [How do I "flash back to stock"?]
This one [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY if you have the three button recovery.
This one I897UCJH7 - OTA System, Kernel, Modem - Clockwork Flashable - Rooted if you want to use CWM.
This one {Stock Rom} Odin JF6 with 3 button fix if you need the three button fix.
I installed official 2.2 via Kies right over rooted 2.1 with no issues. After the install, TiBu was still there, but would not work until I rooted 2.2. What I am saying is that, in my experience, flashing back to stock before updating via Kies was not necessary and by skipping that step all of my aps, SMS, and call logs migrated over seamlessly.
Hello People,
I've installed the latest verion of Cyanogenmod on my sgs. But there are a lot of bugs in it so, i'm wondering if it's possible to return to the original Froyo Rom and how.
Kies doesn't detect my phone...

But, will i lose everything then or what?
Btw.. the biggest thing im stuck with is the "force close loop" with com.android.phone. Do you know how to solve this?
you can do a backup with titanium backup.. and that way you wont lose your apps...
Yeah as other said,
Just do a backup with titanium and then just flash a stock rom with Odin or use ezbase. And you're good to go

Hi.. I want to keep the apps/data/msg etc on the phone, can I flash the official branded firmware through Odin without it wiping the phone?
I'm sick and tired of Kies f**king me over, it offers an update but FirmwareUpdate crashes whilst downloading the update (tried on Win7 and XP, multiple cables, reinstalls etc)
Kies is offering me the JVH update.. I'm on JP6 (2.2) and am rooted through SuperOneClick and have flashed the Speedmod Froyo kernel, undone lagfix
I'm guessing this should be possible as I have updated to JP5 and then JP6 through Kies in the past and all the data was preserved.

Every firmware will you flash via odin....everysingle one will wipe all your data... There are some cases when it won't but after flashing you'll get FC of all your apps...
If you're running a lagfix you must deactivate it when you want toinsstall a 1 file firmware If you want to flash a 3 file firmware you shouldn;t care about it
yes, the ROM wipes PERSONAL data, like messages, phone book and so on,,,but NOT the SD card, so basiccaly if you back up these data via Titanium back up, the back up folder will be stored on the SD and will remain.
Your data is wiped but sdcard isnt

Thanks guys for the replies, knew it was a good idea to ask before I found out the hard way!
Guess I'll just wait until Samsung fix that p.o.s. Kies
Might be a good time to come over to custom roms and f**k kies off for good!

There is titanium backup, but don't backup system apps. Use sms backup&restore app to backup messages, it works from 2.1-2.3.4

flashing firmware with odin will format only data. not sd card. do a nandroid backup before you flash.

Personally, if it were my phone I would have backed up the important stuff and update through Odin but it's my gf's phone and she doesn't want me messing up her homescreen/msgs/contacts/settings/apps etc..
I ended up emailing and *****ing to Samsung about Kies and they've suggested I take the phone down to one of their Service Centres and let them deal with it, might try that out.
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?
Hi all,
I've spent most of my lunchbreak searching for the answer to this question but can't find much.
I've just had my phone back from repair where I had to flash O2 branded 2.2 before I sent it back and I had a lot of trouble finding the correct Rom. My returned phone now has branded 2.3.3 on it and I want to back it up myself in case it ever needs to go back again. Is this possible?
Thanks,

Yes it is possible, but you will need to root, instal cwm recovery and then make a nandroid backup

Thanks for the info. Will the Nandroid backup be completely stock then? Won't the backup have CWM and be rooted?

If you root, and install CWM ...CWM and root will remains after you install your nandroid backup. If you rooted flashing a kernel, you may unroot flashing a stock kernel..but it may fail..it may depends on the kernel, not 100% sure. And you need to have the stock kernel to flah any way.
I think you better look for a leeked copy of your stock firmaware today, before having any problem, and store it in a safe place.

I thought so, thanks. I've got my branded 2.2 firmware so I'll just use that in future if I need to send it back again and update through Kies.
