I am a newbie ::: Please help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am an EX iPhone user... I decided to switch to android because I like it beter than iOS and also because of Apple ways of treating the users. Well My Request is the following:
I really like this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091 and I want to flash it on my galaxy s i9000XXJPP (PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED SCREENSHOT).
I updated via Kies from Eclair to Froyo.
I have recovery 3e.
I have installed ROM Manager... I tried to install the CWM from it but after I clicked boot into CWM, it just reboted into recovery 3e.
I have installed EXT2 tools and one click lagfix using the oclf from the market.
I have rooted my device using z4root.
I really do not know what are the steps to do that.
Can someone please help through the process of flashing this RAM? I do not want to wipe my data/settings/apps.
I experience the following issues with my SGS i9000:
Sometimes the reboot (boot) of the device does not go smooth and it shutsdown and re-reboots and it does that several times until I plug the usb cable. ALSO sometimes when I reboot (boot) while the USB cable is blugged in it does the same thing until I unplug the usb cable.
The battery life is very bad when using WIFI of watching a film etc...
The reception is bad and sometimes people call me but they get voicemail directly and then I recieve an sms from the provider telling me that somebody has called while my phone was unreachable. When I take the battery out and then put it in and turn on my device I get 4 signal bars, after a while I get 1 bar or nothing at all. I tested that and that's what happens all the time.
I need to get red of these issues... I hoop this ROM will do that.
I will really appretiate it if somebody writes a guide for me here.
Thanks in advance,

Firstly you'll need recovery 2e to be able to install clockworkmod. Follow the instructions here
Once you've install recovery 2e, flash clockworkmod. After that, you can backup your rom just incase anything goes wrong by using Rom Manager.
Then just download the latest version of Darky's rom, you can either have a no wipe version or a wipe version. Follow the instructions on the post for Darky's Rom.
I'm using Darky's Rom and it's sweeeeet. An awesome rom I must say
Hopefully that helped
Tell me how it goes and good luck!

Did I screw my galaxy s? Restore Operation?

Hey all!
I hope I can get a fast reply, since my time online is limited.
Anyways, i had darkys rom 9.5 installed and i decided to switch on voodoo lagfix. When i went for a system reboot i would see the samsunga galaxy S logo and the words "Restore Operation" being repeated over and over without progress, i took out the battery. I tried switching it on again several times without success
So the question:
Is my galaxy S considered garbage now or what should I do?
Is it over? Im so into android phones and i was trying to actually put money aisde and thought i would not be seeing another android phone for a year or 2. So I guess i will go for a new one if that is really the case, but that is not the point of this thread anyway sorry for drifting away.
Anyways, thanks for the answer in advance, greatly appreciated
Can you get in recovery mode and bootloader mode?
If so desable any lagfix if you got it
Enabled.Then flash an official rom

Thanks a lot for responding
Well, i tried getting into recovery mode without success . I am able to get into the download mode though, if that is of any help.
As for bootloader? What is that?
Once again thanks for the fast response..
EDIT: So does that mean my phone is now a helpless case? Or is there any way around it?
I found a thread via google where a user had a similar problem. Only difference being that he was on darkys rom 9.2, where as i am on 9.5.
I believe the procedure would be the same, but im really new to all of this and before completely wrecking this phone i would rather see what people here have to say to it.
He couldnt boot his phone and recovery mode didnt work, however , just like in my case, download mode works. He was told to flash 9.2 Resurrection edition onto his phone and it seems as though everything had gone well for him.
Would me doing the same thing perhaps solve my problem?
Only one question remains, how do i flash a rom? I followed this guide, very simply.. pretty much made for dummies, haha.
darkyrom.co m/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-darkys-rom-on-2-2-2-2-1-i9000-i9000m-only.1041/
How exactly do i flash 9.5 extreme edition onto my phone again? The only program i recall using is odin 1.3, but that was in order to flash a kernal onto my phone.
I believe this is the rom i'm using: Darky's ROM Extreme Edition 9. I just do not know how to flash it, according to the guide i had to upload it to my phone, boot my phone in recovery mode and select the zip file and BAM! Now,however, i only have access to download mode. Meh. . .
Anyways, before i pull off a stupid stunt i would like to get some confermation before proceeding.
Thank you
Yeah, you have download mode, so recovering through Odin is possible. You could flash a stock rom or darky's resurrection. That guide you linked looks fine to me.

How though? The guide states that i need to put darky's rom onto my phone. Then i need to get into recovery mode (which i no longer have access to) and install it
Darky's resurrection seems like the best course for you since, as the name implies, it was created to bring phones back from similar situations.
Just follow the directions EXACTLY...and good luck.

Sir yes sir, i will give it a shot
Thank you for replying, i will post back the reesults asap
EDIT: oh .. this is something i cannot do:
"
2. Disable all lagfixes by going into the Recovery. Disable both normal and /system lagfixes. This is a must."
proceed with darky resurrection anyway?
EDIT2: Another problem popped up:
2. Wipe/Factory Reset phone. This is required. Turn off phone and then boot into Recovery (Vol UP+Home Key+the Power Button.). Select the 'wipe data/factory reset' option (using Power button if on custom ROM/custom kernel, or the Home key if on stock I9000 firmware). Then select Yes to do it.
i followed darky resurrection's guide up to the part 7, (after flashing with odin). After the reboot i was supposed to get an error:
7. After ODIN completes procedure and the phone reboots, a screen will come on the phone with 'Android system recovery <2e>' written at the top, and the following text will be written at the bottom:
"E:Invalid command argument
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
#MANUAL MODE#
-- Appling Muti CSC...
Installing Muti CSC"
However, the phone reboots in my case but just repeats the same error over and over.
Samsung galaxy logo appears and a robotic female voice keeps repeating : "Restore Operation"
I have no way to proceed to part two as i cannot access recovery mode
I guess it is over?
No one can help anymore?
I'm not sure but have you tried reflashing the kernel? do it through odin, a lot of time it can fix it just by doing that. If that works then go ahead and flash darkyy resurrection. Almost everyone is able to bring their phone back to life using his 9.2 method
Hope this works for you. Even if out doesn't don't worry because as long as you can get into download mode someone here will be able to provide more in depth solution. Try the irc in darkyy forum see if stone there can help you

Flash a stock 3 file firmware available from samfirmware.com with .pit file and re-partition ticked
This should put your phone back to stock completely, once you have done this it will be as you got it from the box
Then you can start again to install Darkys
Update
Haha I have just done the same thing except I was disabling lag fix, done the above and it does work!

so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"

so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"
well, yesterday my brother brought me his cellphone which doesn't boot anymore, he wanned to install a custom rom since he saw that i have a fast one (galaxy s I)
so when i asked him what he did , he said he followed all the steps in rootgalaxynoteDOTcom/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v3-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/[/url]
but then, his phone didn't boot, so he wiped - reset factory setting, which i read is a BIG NO when you're flashing ICS.
so whats done is done, i am trying to get it back , i can boot in recovery mode/download mode ... i tried out many kernels like AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo or speedmod, and downloaded at least 4 or 5 GB stock roms.
sadly , if odin flash is successful, it stuck on (samsung galaxy note gt-n7000) black srcreen, reboots few times then stays still...
if the odin flash wasn't successful , it keeps stuck on data.img and never goes beyond that .
i did all the steps i could find, wiped data after installed stock GB rom and rebooted, nothing worked
i even used rogue_ET-recoveryonly , and i think it went along format all the way, but still nothing happened after that.
the only thing i haven't tried yet was the repartition + pit file, i couldn't find the PIT , most of the roms have pda/modem/csc ... so if anyone can help out, i would really appreciate it ..
thanks
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...
thanks, no it doesn't get stuck at factoryfs at all , i did check out most of the threads here, and most of them say "go back to GB with odin and if its stuck on samsung gt-n7000 boot screen just go back with recovery mode and then wipe data / cache " but never worked, so i thought i should ask around here
i'll check out the threads you posted and see what i can come up with
weird, i used the 16gb pit - repartition (check)
and i flashed it with SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS through odin.
and its still the same, the flashing with odin was successful and everything went fine, no hanging , no delays or what so ever. after it restarts its stuck on the black samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 screen
im gonna wipe data / cache again but i doubt that would fix anything.
so any idea what could be wrong? specially when the flashing process went fine?
i've already tried like 4 stock roms ,
arabic uae , europe , saudia and the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS
i wonder if i need to put something in boot space in odin "just a thought"
ive tried downloading roms from here [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LQ3
and here [STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle
any ideas?
For OP:
If you are not stucking while flashing from PC Odin then you are not superbricked.
I think you got corrupted /system or other partition; I saw another thread where OP was getting this sort of hang due to filesystem corruption which can't mount.
Entropy512 gave simple dd command based solution for erasing initial 1MB of partition.
Try searching for corrupted filesystem/partition related information. I can't recall exact thread title, sorry.
I hope this will help.

Should try to install/reinstall samsung usb driver package. or try reinstall Kies also provide drivers for Note.
If driver is install properly: when connect with PC using usb cable it need to be shown under hardware management as something like "android composite adb interface" or something like that.

Also are you trying to connect adb after booting the phone ? Means in a stuck state ? I think you can try enabling ADB thing from CWM rather than trying to boot phone fully.
hmm i can't find an option in CWM that suggests that , still searching
also im trying to find roms that i can install from CWM , are there any GB roms that can be directly installed from CWM ?
thanks.

Hi: I understand he means boot the phone into CWM and then connect to PC in that environment. adb need to be run from PC while the phone is booted into CWM recovery.
Still, most of the custom roms are in the .zip format and can be install using CWM. they just now become a bit more difficult to find since dev move on to ICS/CM9 roms. Still try to find some GB roms in the forum such as: rocket GB, litening GB, xtralite GB....
This is the link for Rocket rom GB. Better try v22 than v23.

Yes, recovery mode is in CWM. (in case you have not done it: Enter recovery by,from phone power off: pressing volumeup + home + power and release power when see samsung letter while still hole the other two buttons.)

hmm. that should be still the problem with usb driver. Have you checked under hardware management if it show the device as "samsung composite adb interface" yet?
kernel should not be the problem with connecting adb. It is the problem with usb driver for Note. Sometime Win7 have problem with driver. You may want to search for another package of samsung usb driver on the web.
I did put some links of GB roms in the post in the previous page. maybe try them first if any luck.
Also try to restart computer to see if the driver issues get solved.
Got to go. Hope that you can solve the problem. GL.

thanks, i restarted my pc , reinstalled kies, and now it shows under device manager
now i connect to the phone through adb , i appreciate you pointing it out
which method you think i should go for 1st? this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
or unzipping a rom and then pushing it all through adb?
i think i'll go for removing and repartitioning manually, hopefully it'll work
thanks again guys , i'll post the updates here,
lol, my brother called me and he's like "if u can't fix it by the end of the night, fk it, dont bother yourself with it" but to be honest, im too stubborn, i hope i can fix it
looks like deleting and adding partitions back through parted kinda work, for the first time i was able to pass the boot screen after i installed rocketrom from CWM
however, its been 1/2 hour since im stuck on rocketrom loading screen it keeps looping and looping.. i wonder if i should wait more.. or should i try another rom?
finally got rid of the verification -.- was kinda annoying thats why i didn't bother editing posts,
anyways, rocketrom didn't work, so i decided to flash a stock rom instead , the flash through odin went fine, it was great to be able to wipe data without getting stuck , however, it keeps going though samsung animation over and over, i think im gonna leave it like this one the charger till morning, i wonder if it'll be the same
guess i have to google for "samsung loop" , i wonder why this keeps happening though -.-
-.- leaving it for 6 hours on samsung logo animation didn't do the trick , still looping when i woke up, so i guess i'll do some more search on why this is happening.
You have checked partitions and see no error that means the problem lies somewhere else, not partitions. I have no idea yet, but for me I would try some different roms. Small roms have more chance to work, that is the feedback I got from some people:
- try check rom in the link I sent
- try paranoid android which is CM9, or asylum
- extralite
cheers.

thanks buddy, i appreciate your help, the partition "USED" to give me error when i did the check 9 10 11 , but after removing the partition and reformatting them (and i also removed the cache partition) now its working fine "i suppose" i didn't do another check, but i might will now that you mention it.
i already tried rocket rom, didn't work, stock rom didn't work, so i'll give the others a try at least it doesn't get stuck on the boot screen, but its stuck on the animation logo which is an improvement
thanks again

Bootloop problem

Hi!
I just recieved a Galaxy S and i have a problem.
At the beggining, the phone bootloops. Then I full wipe it, so now doesn't have that problem. Now the problem is, that when it loaded and show the start settings (select lang, date, time etc.) every single application on the phone "Force Close" and the phone reboot itself and repeat the same procedure. I don't know what kernel, ROM the phone use, but i think it is the stock one (2.3.4 or 2.3.6)
I am able to go to Download Mode, but when I do that, the phone can't connect with ODIN, also my computer doesn't recognize my phone when i am in Download Mode (when i try to turn on the phone, then my computer recognize: Samsung Android USB ...)
I also tryed to change the ROM via recovery, but there i've got very few options (reboot, apply updates, wipe data, wipe cache), so i'm not able to change the ROM from there.
Please, tell me what to do.
Edit: Sorry for my bad english
I'm pretty sure you only installed the wrong USB drivers. There should be some sort of tutorial on the web to get the right drivers for an Odin access. Anyways, be sure that KIES and all child processes are killed when using Odin (use the task manager to look that up).
Feel free to ask further questions

Hey! Thanks for the drivers above. The funniest thing is that the computers in my school recognized my phone, so do ODIN. But my computer still not recognized the device. Tonight i will send files to my flashdrive so tomorrow i will flash ROM with ODIN in my school (i have an admin account ) When i get back from school, i'll post the results here.
[sorry for my bad english, again]
Hi, again! Today I messed everything up. First, i flashed with ODIN the Darky's ROM but after installation 20 minutes the phone freezed at the logo (no progress there). Then I flashed CWM with ODIN and tried to install CM10 without success. After the installation the only thing which was changed was the CWM (new version 6.x.x.x). Then I tried to flash new kernel (Semaphore_JB_2.5.0s) and now its freezes at the logo "SEMAPHORE". I dont have recovery anymore, only the Download Mode.
Please, give me a link with the steps or show me how to install new ROM property, because this is the 3rd day i'm trying to start the phone with new ROM. Kies don't help, because "USB Debugging" is not activated on my phone (i can't activate it, because of the problem).
Thanks.
cm9 with odin
for cm9 with odin check this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419102
Flashing shouldn't take more than a few minutes. CM9 was stable for me - with cm10 I still have a few problems.
start from stock rom
I think you should flash stock rom first.
flash GB firmware 2.3.6 (recommend JVU).
flash CF-root for jvu.
you can find stock firmware easily here as well.as instructions.
make sure play around with your phone for a while after done. then go ahead to any custom rom.

I9001 bricked? Please Help!

Hey guys I've got some serious problems with my phone...
Today I wanted to flash the new recovery from ivendor on my brend new PC. Ive installed the "Samsung Driver for mobile phones" because I know that Kies won't work on CM10. Well so far so good. I flashed the new Recovery via ODIN. The phone rebootet normally after that like always. Than back on my Homescreen I was going to settings to do a factory reset including deleting all files from SD card. The phone rebooted again and than everything was going to hell...
Than the Android symbol showed up like always after a full wipe but that time the phone bootet into recovery directly and my recovery shows a lot of errors like E:cant' mount / cache/recovery/log E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p17. And my recovery background has this Android symbol which you can see in that link:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XU5LJWLFf...AZ4/fiL5GNNDg6g/s1600/AndroidRedTriangle.jpeg
When trying to boot normaly my phone only boots till Samsung galaxy/Cyanogenmod screen and after 10-15 secound it goes off...
Please Help!

Greetings & good luck
Thanks guys for your help. I tryed all of that. Even flashing Stock ROM hasn't helped. Phone is bricked : /
does odin detects your i9001 when it shows the screen described in 1st post?
if you could do something with odin and if there are no hardware problems your phone is far away from bricked. (my opinion)
take a look at our wiki. you may find something to reset everything (partitions, bootloaders...)
good luck
well dude u r using s+ right..try flashing it through the recovery mode directly if u can access the card..or take a card reader and mount the cwm recovery and flash that and flash those zip files u want through external sd card..i dont trust odin much..maybe we can figure this out together if u didnt fix it yet.
I have exactly the same problem, no matter what I flash (with Odin/CWM) it no longer boots, and it fails to wipe data partition. Any idea how to repartition de data partition?
It never happend to me but I'll try to help you. I don't know if I'm allowed to put links on this forum but broodplank who is known on this forum for his sgs+ releases has a great tutorial on his site and u might wanna check it out.

i did try a odin flashable cwm V6 but its stuck on "setup connection" each time i try..
Le tips:
- Patientce
- Remove and replug device
- Reboot device
- Use another USB port or cable
- Turn kies of (ctrl+alt+del > Taskmanager > Procesess > Terminate anything with KIES in its name)
- Turn AW/FW off
Just flash TWRP and you're good to go

dude im fricking out..
i accidently soft bricked it and now im trying 2 flash it back 2 stock with odin through your guide
but odin recognises my pc recognises the ops file as a text file so odin doesnt even see it...
u gotta help me ;_;
hey man relax... in wiki page you'll find cwm5.5.0.4 flashable zip and you can install it from recovery ( even from stock recovery if i remember corectly)... if you can't acces your phone you can copy it from pc to phone using recovery ( mounts and storage )... if you are stuck in recovery( you're phone boot in recovery only ) you'll need to flash the bootloader using odin.. also you can find the steps and necessary files in wiki and in cm10 by ivendor in firrst post ..Good Luck !!!
1: How did you softbrick it? What did you do, because I thought Odin got stuck??
2: You do see an Phone an ! and a PC?
3: You do have the latest ROM by Samsung and the correct AriesVE.ops?
If yes then we can get started. Follow my guide, when odin gets stuck at System (for a long long time > You know this because the green balk with time gets stuck) unplug device, reboot download again, reboot computer, and try again with BroodROM RC5 (see index)... (BroodROM RC5 is a last resort for our device since it has fixed many softbricked one including mine)

aaaand that's what happens when you start flashing random stuff to your phone without knowing what you actually do...
Ok, I wont tease you or anything, here is what to do:
READ THIS
THIS (all stuff from there, doesn't matter if you don't consider it necessary, you surely will in the future)
After you read all those and understand everything, flash back to stock using @mrjraider tutorial, it's a clear step by step one so follow every step.
Now, the thing is that you'll need CWM Recovery, not FeaMod which is only able to flash GB ROM's.
The most stable CWM recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 you can find it at the bottom of the OT from this thread
HERE is how to flash CWM with Odin.
Please, pay attention and don't rush things up. And next time you have a problem post in an appropriate thread don't open a new one and especially not in the dev section, see this
Also, no user "gotta help you" you've chose to flash tings to your phone, if you mess it up, it's your own failure and nobody 'MUST' help you... (see this)

i did try using his guide and i folowed it step by step
my only problem is that odin gives me that message i showed in my last post..
also untill i fix this soft brick i cant move on to recovery mode so
i need 2 fix that first..
the guide doesnt show anything related to what im doing wrong..
Someone with brains would have removed odin, and the ops file and redownloaded it again. Also save those on your desktop
