I`m going to try and flash this ROM...
file:///C:/Users/Colm/Desktop/[ROM]%20[04.01.2011]%20Darky's%20v8.0%20Gingerbread%20Edition%20%E2%98%85%20JPY%20%E2%98%85%20%20%20Darky's%20&%20R64's%20Finest.%20-%20xda-developers.htm
I want to make sure I`m doing it right, I am rooted and applied OCLF, from what I`ve read I`m supposed to un-install/disable OCLF, install ROM manager and apply CWM, flash into recovery, factory data wipe, also wipe cache, ( I want to start from scratch ) select the update (CWM), then the ROM and then let it do its thing?
I`m on stock everything, just rooted and OCLF, I`ve read through Darky`s instructions, I`m to assume I just follow them regardless what I have on my phone.
I`d love some confirmation on this, just to be sure, nearly forgot, I have SGS i9000, thanks
You seem to have it right.
What version of Android are you running right now? If it's 2.2, you'll likely need to "fix" your recovery mode. You want recovery 2e (if you get into recovery mode, you'll notice a 2e or 3e in the top of the screen). 3e won't let you run unsigned files like you'll need to in order to install Darky's or another ROM.
If you need the fix this, flash any of the kernels in the dev forum (for example, I have flashed SpeedMod).
I`m on 2.1, stock, so I`m good to go then?
One other question, does it matter how I rooted my phone?

Looks like you're good to go so long as you're sure the lag fix is disabled. The source of root doesn't matter.
I`m trying to figure out how to disable it now, do I just un-install it or what?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with OCLF and can't offer any (credible) advice. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere discussing the topic and will offer instructions.
Well I manage to do it and it looks fupping deadly, thing is NOW WHAT DO I DO?

Every single one of them are failing @ System.
I have flashed many roms and have yet to see this issue.
I have even tried to install a nandroid and they say system.img not found, skipping restore of System
my quadrant before doing anything was ~950 so im assuming no lagfix was present.
did you flash back to stock with odin1click??

Going back to stock is the only safe way to install a rom imo.
Do a proper stock install and watch all the roms work.
im sure it will.
im just trying to learn why. it all started when i went to install SetiroNs 1.4.6 cwm

Because it is the phone...not the rom or kernel...unless you had a bad flash to begin with.
This is why it is recommended when switching to different roms...and even sometimes flashing updates to certain roms ...that it is the most prudent thing to do, to head off these types of issues that come up sometimes. It is also recommended to do a master clear as well...and I usually go one step further and wipe and format the drives and do a factory reset. Sometimes doing it more than just once too. It may be a royal PITA...but...the alternative is what you are experiencing it seems...
Mac
is there a way to tell which filesystem is being used?
i have CWM 2.5.1.2
my Axura restore did work.......so i at least have a phone for the moment
I updated to froyo 2.2 (leaked version) on my samsung captivate, and I was wondering if there was a possible way to downgrade back to 2.1.
*The only reason im not liking froyo 2.2 at the moment i cant seem to learn our find out how to root it...
Wanted to root to rom a custom rom?
"noobie question"--> if i was to downgrade to 2.2 back to stock 2.1 and root it to have super user, i could then be able to install a custom rom? OR what would other people suggest doing?
Could someone point me in the right way with a link or two maybe, or some suggestions?
bummmpppp! this is all so new to me!
Here's a link to the SuperOneClick to root and enable non-market apps.
And here's a thread for new captivate users.
You might have an easier time finding answers in the Captivate forum.

Thanks so much for these thinks, I can use this SuperOneClick user on my Captivate with froyo 2.2 correct?
I like the froyo 2.2 just couldnt figure out how to get superuser, im trying to install a custom rom on it, never done it before just wanted to try one out and see! New to all this so probably have more questions haha !
Also another noobie question(s).
What does "flashing" mean?
lol
You have to be rooted to have superuser privileges.
Flashing a phone rom is like installing a new OS on a PC. Be careful on doing so and watch some videos and read up on it if you get brave to try flashing custom roms onto your device. Usually ppl use a windows app called Odin to do so. Make sure phone always charged 100% before flashing any new rom also. It could mess up battery stats otherwise and could risk brick if its almost dead then dies LOL. Assuming that's the context of flashing you meant.

Flashing in simple terms means to install a new OS version/Updates/Themes etc on the phone. The most common method found here in XDA is to use something called as Clockwork Recovery Mod.
Seriously, go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364 you will know what you need to do to flash a custom ROM. And may I suggest Firefly 2.1 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914284 as your first ROM. It is a good ROM. You will enjoy it. There are some other ROMs, if you ask which is the best, clearly there is none, it is purely on preference. Once you have flashed one ROM, and then a few, you will know which one you like.
1. installing a custom rom does not require a rooted phone, you can copy the update.zip to your sdcard and get into recovery, select the custom rom zip file and flash from there.
2. have you flashed a bios on a computer? flash a phone's rom is very similar to that.
a few weeks back i got an update from t-mobile i think it was 2.2.1. i was running a custom rom by evil, I think it was sense. it never fully installed as it came up with a black scrren with a exclamation mark and a little android guy. every time i go into recovery now, i get the same thing. this also converted the phone back to stock rom.
im sorry, but i am a newbie when it comes to flashing new recovery images. do you think this is what needs to be done? i had clockworkmod's on there before, had a buddy do it for me.. and he didnt explain to me how to fix install it lol. i do install roms etc.
any way i should go with this?
You guessed right, you need to reflash the recovery, and possibly re-root before that.
You can follow the guides in Wiki, found in my signature.
did it, having a problem installing roms now :| gonna post in that roms thread.
Hey guys, sorry if this a dumb question but I am not sure if flashing stock firmware is good enough to remove all evidence of rooting and such since I dont know what exactly happens in the process of rooting / flashing.
I just realized I have an hardware issue but I already rooted my GN using zergrush v4 and flashed the CF-Root kernel after that (using the already-rooted.bat by CF).
Someone wrote something about simply flashing stock firmware so I
- flashed stock firmware (full firmware, not only kernel)
- rebooted twice
- used every factory reset / wipe option stock offers in recovery mode
- booted and reformatted internal sd after unmounting it
(Yes I seem to be blind or stupid because only after I did that I saw I could have simply flashed stock kernel and used unroot script...)
For a noob like me it seems like it did the trick, I am not rooted anymore, SU, CWM... are gone but I just want to be sure there aren't any traces anymore.
Thank you in advance for answers (hopefully).
You should probably flash the stock recovery as well. As soon as they boot into recovery they will know.
Edit: guess I should have read it more thoroughly, I see you don't have cwm anymore.

Thanks for the reply rogerski1, I already checked before you edited and it is stock.
There is so much to read and learn for a first time android device owner and since there are a lot of contradicting statements all over the threads (concerning wipes and such) it is hard to guess who is right or wrong and if I understood it right, so I had the urge to ask.
Thank you, gotta go to sleep.
From what I understand, a flash of a complete ROM, including the kernel, should get rid of Clockwork Recovery, because CWR is stored in the kernel.
From what I understand the kernel is like the engine. The rom is the car. Overclocked kernels will make your car run faster and better. The recovery maybe a repair shop? Flashing a rom and kernel will still leave you with a custom recovery. Its there in case **** goes wrong. Fwiw, I am not a developer or programmer at all, just an android enthusiast.

Hi all.
Really sorry cos I'm sure the answer's around here somewhere, but not sure where to look.
Problem is, I had my 2.3.5 rooted and all was ok. I then had a problem a while back with Titanium (paid) backup that said that I wasn't rooted.
I've tried re-rooting and that didn't work, so now I've done a factory reset, cleared the dalvik cache.
CWM is still installed but nothing works on there. Can't install busybox.
Just want to take it all back to fresh and root the phone with the fastest ROM possible.
Like I say, I've looked all over here and various forums but can't find an answer to my specific problem(s).
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

use this link to get a JVU based rom on your SGS.. it'll be rooted with CWM recovery and stuff.. after that you can choose to flash any rom on your SGS.. just follow the instructions in the op of the rom you choose..
Thanks Ishangoyal..
Just to reiterate, I can just install this on top of the phone as it is not and it'll work?
I would highly recommend this tutorial instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
It allows you to upgrade to ICS.
You're a diamond - it's done! saved my phone from being stamped on! ;-)
