So what exactly is wrong with your phone right now? is it up and running and you just want to get 2e installed?? or is your phone dead? anyways, easiest way to do it is grab a copy of Odin, then grab a copy of hardcore's speedmod kernel, open odin, put your phone into download mode, plug your phone in, make sure odin finds it, click the pda button, locate the speedmod kernel.tar file and click ok, then click start, it will be very fast and it will flash a new kerel on your phone.

ive been needing to flash 2e recovery too. is it ok to just flash the pda?

Download either hardcores kernel or chainfires cf root kernel flash using odin by putting kernel in pda.

sounds nice and simple. ill do the odin way. op, you can also try the sgs kernal flasher app found in this forum and never touch a computer
1. install sgs kernal flasher
2. flash a kernal which includes 2e
3. ????
4. profit!

How can I recover my SGS ?

I flashed some wrong files on to my SGS, the phone wouldn't boot up, and worst off all I couldn't deactivate the OCLagFix.
I now only have acces to the Download mode, please help me to fix this problem!
I would like to know if I could go ahead and flash a ROM without the update.zip method, because I don't have acces to the internal SD card.
Thanx in advance!
You need to flash a stock rom using odin, jp7 always gets me out of trouble

3 combos buttons work ?
Vol down+home+power on/off ?
Vol Up + home+ power on/off ?
if yes, try to flash the correct rom for I9000M
If you can get into download mode, and Odin sees your phone, then it is very unlikely that you bricked it.
Just flash Darkys ressurection or stock Samsung ROM from Odin.
ok installed darkys, now all phone does is flash galaxy i9000 screen
managed to get past that screen and back to recovery mode, and still d/l mode, trying EZBASE now as i was getting as far as colour S then bursts of vibrations
UPDATE:
stuck on boot loop now, still can access recovery and d/k mode, after trying to install EZBase. is their any other siggestions.
pref, instructions and files for re-loading stock firmware for australia on it, if memory calls had 2.2 of eclair
still no luck people, any further advice please
I just had the same issue with my i9000m. Download the fireware I9000UGJL2.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
It fixed my issue instantly. Then go to that kitchen rom website and create your own ROM. My phone has never been faster. GPS works very good, way better than before. Even cell service is 100000000000 times better....
ok, good news is i have it working stock rom and rooted, got most aps back on, now my issue is, i cant install clockwork recovery from rom manager, i tried it via odlin and got the screen of phone and pc and the exclamation mark. can some1 please help out as to how i can get clockwork recovery mod installed.
fone details are
galaxy S i9000I now just without the i

Go to D/L mode and reflash the kernal.
So you tried flashing Chainfires JVB kernal on a 2.1 rom?
I think that's the problem....

ok thanks, what should i flash then, or how can i update to 2.2 or 2.3 without loosing files and apps ?
Man you should not try to flash things when you don't understand them.
For this moment you tried to flash a kernel that is for a gingerbread rom (JVB, android 2.3.3) on your Eclair 2.1. Don't you think you should read a bit more before flashing everything on your phone?
Go to the official rom thread and follow the guides to flash a gingerbread(2.3.3) or Froyo(2.2) rom
Ok ill put this as plain and as simple as i can
1. I am new to flashing
2. I asked how to do it, as after all this is a q&a section
3. I feel my questions hvae not been answered correctley
so i shall explain again and this time links may help
1. I want a kernal that will give me recovery options
2. I do not want to loose anything on the phone
3. I want to upgrade to 2.3
so i would like links please or someone who can take the time to write a quicvk step list telling me what to do.
You really need to go to main thread and all info is there, it would take ages to talk you out of this...its all out there, seek and you shall find, its tough love

[Q] Can't seem to get any ROMS to work (reboot problem)

Okay I posted this thread because I didn't want to hijack someone elses anymore than I did.
I recently got a Samsung GT-I9000, I believe it's the international though I can't be 100% sure. I tried doing a few simple ROMS like CM7-9, Devil, Dmore, etc but nothing seems to work. I can use Odin and Heimdall just fine, but I can't seem to use adb to actually get into my device. I can get into download mode and CWM Recovery, but I can't seem to get any flashes to go through, any help?
I've managed to get it past the GT-I9000 stage and it goes into an android breaking out of concrete bootimage, but then it just loops. Also The GT-I9000 picture is perfect, but the bootimage color is all skewed, does this mean anything?

I am not sure what you are doing wrong. You need to install the correct kernal first and then the ROM. You may want to watch YouTube video of GT-I9000 rooting and flashing the ROM step by step video.

This seems to be a wrong kernal. Or try to take out the battery for a minute or so, then put it back and turn on the phone, this should help. If not check the kernal requirements and re install the ROM.

I just flashed a good stock kernal, and it's rebooted. It has the normal Galaxy S Bootimage and it's playing the music (first sound I've had from it) but never makes it past that, it waits there for about a minute and then reboots. I can get into the recovery (Android system recovery <3e>) but it's not CWM. When in recovery it says
-- Appling Multi-CSC...

Can't access to '/system/csc/VIA/system/'.

Go to "ramad" thread and a rom from there and flash it with Odin (in PDA only)
that will restore your Phone or download "darky 10.1 resurrection rom" also flashed with Odin.
If u don't know how to flash with Odin then search Google writing "flash with Odin" there are utube video guides

Ramad's thread is where I got the ROM + Kernal + Pit. I tried searching for darky's rom, I can find the rom but no kernal. Any luck? All of the links are outdated
After I do the ROM from Ramad's I get the below, it reboots twice then I get the error about the CSC, then it reboots with the galaxy s boot with sound, stays there for a few then just reboots constantly, playing the boot with sound.

Opening update package...
Verifying update package...

Bar goes a quarter of the way, phone reboots
Go to darkyrom.com and find this rom darky rom extreme 12.2 this link is up and working.it's jvq rom but that doesn't matter as long as the phone boots up.after that u can flash any rom from the phone cwm.
If this doesn't fix it,then try with pit.file and tick re-partition.
Get the pit-file from "ramad"
Are u trying to flash from 3'recovery on your phone?? This can not be done
U need to flash using ODIN,it's a samsung flashing tool.
Before u can flash from your phone,u need cwm recovery.
Go to cf-root kernel and find a kernel that matches your firmware and flash it with ODIN,then u have custom recovery.
First time flashing with odin, google "flash with odin" there is video guides,easy to follow
I can get CWM on my phone, and I've flashed using ODIN but still no luck getting it not to constantly loop
was your firmware originally froyo or eclair...if so you may need to do a bootloader upgrade...been racking my brains all day thinking what the problem might be....heres a link to a very simple way to upgrade bootloader courtesy of nitr8

now he tells us!!! well a bootloader upgrade wont harm, but for gods sake make sure kies aint going to fire up half way through...and dont jog or disturb the phone during the flash cos if you mess up a bootloader flash its toast time!
Any good links for bootloaders? Lol, I can't seem to find any non-outdated ones.

Root issues need help

Hi Guys! so first of all, i'm not a total newbie and i have been searching the forum and been googling like crazy trying to figure this out and now i have to turn to you hoping to solve this...
okay, i have rooted my girlfriends SGS I9000 with superoneclick root, got superuser and all is well there, but i still only get android recovery no CWM..? So whats up with that? do i download latest CWM and just flash it using android recovery? or is this a faulty root and i must try something else?
Read somewhere i had to flash a new kernel to get CWM?
Any help from you guys would be highly appreciated!
Why dont u try using odin??
Cheers
If I Helped, dont mind Hitting the Thanks button...
You have to choose one of the available recoverys for i9000 and flash one of these via Odin
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app
The easiest way to root it is to download and flash 2.3.6 jw5 (if not present) using Odin and flash cf-root kernel, you'll get the cwm recovery too.
Thanks for reply
i will unroot the phone again and root using odin and cf root... i am going to install custom ROM straight after, so i am not going to update to 2.3.6 from 2.3.3...
*update*
Worked like a charm! now i have CWM... First time i used Odin actually and it is MUCH faster than this oneclickroots out there! So thank you all for the help.
