[Q] froyo 2.2 and installing voodoo lag fix - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

although i did find similar thread, it still doesn't fully answer my questions.
Currently my device is rooted Galaxy S (froyo 2.2, baselin JHJP6, Build JHJPA) with OCLF V2. The device was bought from a local operator (Orange, IL).
Since voodoo lag fix is believed to be better than OCLF, i've tried installing the Update.zip version, but got the 'verification failed' message, and had to abort.
later on, I discovered i used the latest 5.2 version, intended for the froyo 2.2.1.
* is that the reason my installation failed? if not, what voodoo version should i use?
* is there an updated froyo version that i can install, or will it delete all of my local settings?

newest version of froyo is 2.2.1 (JPY) that can be found in the development section, and for the lagfix, you have to have ClockworkMod (CWM) and update.zip wont work you have to select install zip from sd card. then select choose zip from sd card. then find lagfix and apply.

thanks for the rapid answer.
regarding 2.2.1 - i noticed it was ment for european versions (am i right?). are u sure i will be able to use it on middle east device?
in addition, how can i tell which of the various voodoo versions (in the voodoo archive) fitts my SGS?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 that has all the stock firmwares for all different countries.. you could check that to see if your running the latest version for your area.. if your on the latest you could always try a custom ROM. have a look through http://romkitchen.org
here you can cook up a ROM that suits your needs. you can chose every bit of the ROM yourself.. i dont know about JPY and using it out side Europe. i dont want to give wrong information out.. but read through them links and im sure your answers will be in there somewhere... post back how you get on.

Hi, did you find the right kernel for FROYO.JHJPA?
Thanks,

I think you need to apply it twice.

[Q] How downgrade Galaxy S to froyo from gingerbread?

My i9000 is on i9000xxjvb stock rom. I flashed modified kernal to make it rooted and cwm enabled. I am unable to move appear from phone memory to internal SD. An error message appears " failed to move application, not enough memory."
To get rid of this, i tried Hamsterbread 1.1 custom rom, but problem not solved. I used every method from hard reset to wipe cache, data and more. But nothing happened.
Now I want to downgrade to froyo. I don't know how to do this? Please, tell the procedure in detail and step by step. I belong to India. There is no 2.2.1 version available for India. Can I go for other regions versions? or I should stick with i9000ddjp6 which is latest verison for India. Thanks
i havnt tried downgrading. but i think you could try flashin back using odin with bootlooder froyo.
i live in india but use european firmware an see no problem
^^ Im not sure about this. I think you can just flash a Froyo ROM via CWM. I am not sure about this. It always makes sense to search around before you do either. Good Luck!
If you flash speedmod (or whatever froyo kernel you choose) through odin, then simply install whatever rom through cwm via zip file. The downgraded froyo rom doesn't need bootloaders, the gingerbread ones are backwards compatible. Tried it myself and it worked without a hitch.
Just flash any stock firmware through ODIN with pit and repartitioned tick and you are good to go.
Makes sense to open eyes and read the post that tells you how .Or even use the search button .

[Answered] stuck on recovery verification error SGSI9000

I'm stuck in a strange problem on my Galaxy S I9000
i'm running firmware 2.3.3 gingerbread JPJV6
it is rooted
i installed rom manager
i hit Flash clockworkmod recovery (on rom manager)
choosed my phone *samsung galaxys i9000*
downloded and installed successfully (alleged)
hit reboot to cwm recovery (on rom manager)
it reboot .. Android system recovery <3e>
and in red text (E:failed to verify whole-file signature "and" E:signature verification failed)
.............................
i don't know what's wrong here ... all i wanted to do is to apply updatefile.zip of cyanogen mod ....
..............................
i downloaded the updatefile of CWM and renamed to update.zip and tried to update from the android system recovery 3e it gave me same red error
..............................
can some one help me here please i'm stuck and don't know what to do .
I had some kind of this message one time, try to go in download mode to write again the PIT file.
i didn't understand what you mean by write again the PIT file .... you meant open odin3 get another PIT file ? or re-flash the gingerbread and then root it all over again ? you think this would fix anything ? i'm still confused not sure what to do
If you want CM, just flash custom kernel as a PDA in Odin. You will get CWM.
Then go to CM thread and follow instrcutions.
one last question ........ can you suggest a kernel to me .. I'm on rooted 2.3.3 gingerbread JPJV6 ..
3e is your problem, it only allows Samsung-signed packages. I'm using ChainFire's CF-Root kernel with stock JVT (until I get TeamHacksung's ICS working properly!)

Well, if you're going to CM, it is same what kernel to use when flashing CM. Just pick one up, like Semaphore, download it, put it in Odin as a PDA, flash it. Then you have CWM. In CM you can't use what ever kernel you want
thanks i'll download semaphore kernel and see what's gonna happen i appreciate your help here really

[Q] Major issues with the i9000 right now. Please Help.

Hey guys,
So recently I tried rooting my phone with CF-Root and Odin, and then it went into a boot loop of just the Galaxy S on startup.
I eventually found out about Heimdall and right now I'm running 2.2.1 Froyo with Build XWJSD.
Problem is, that the phone doesn't read the SD card? Like it will see the SD Card, scan it, and say it's finished scanning but then it won't let me access it either in CWM or through the Android UI itself.
Any ideas? I just want to get MIUI installed haha.
Well I just tested the SD card in another phone and it works fine. So it's definitely the software/rom I'm using now I think.
Is there anything I can do to make this work. Maybe like a completely stock 2.2.1, that is guaranteed to work haha? I just need this card to be read. Because even when I plug the phone and run Kies, Kies doesn't recognize the version of the firmware. And If I try to use superoneclick root, it also doesn't recognize the version of the firmware.
So right now I'm using 2.2.1 XWJSD, which stock rom should I install with odin or Heimdall to make this work?
Thanks a lot again.
Head over to this thread and download JVZ (Gingerbread 2.3.6), flash with Odin with re-partition checked, then head over to Chainfire's thread for CF-Root kernel for JVZ and flash that through Odin as well.
Forget about Kies since you'll no longer be using that to update firmware and whatnot.
CF-Root will come with CWM installed, so after you get that done, download MIUI and flash through CWM
Thanks a lot will try it out.
This CF-Root right? CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip
Unfortunately the phone is stuck in a bootloop now after installing 2.3.6 JVZ.
Did you make sure re-partition is checked? If it still bootloops after re-partition then try JVT or some other stock ROM and see if that boots up before applying the CF-Root kernel
Yeah I made sure re-partition is checked, and I installed it with the 512 pit file, unless I shouldn't be using the .pit?
your gona have to reflash the rom or install arom thats already rooted you could try darky 10.2 re or check out puggerduk on tube

MIUI is running based on Android 2.3, I found the Android forum that helps me well enough to do my first flashing and rooting. Here is what you need to try to do:
1. Flash your i9000 with XXJVU 2.3.6 ( Value Pack ):
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
2. Root your I9000 with CF-Root-XX OXA JVU 2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvu-firmware/
Do everything on the post and you can install MIUI ROM from recovery straight away after that.
Hope this helps. If it does, please consider press 'THANKS' button

[Q] android system recovery <3e>

Ok... from the top - I've done a good amount of flashing custom ROMs (B & N Nook and Captivate) and reading on forums but I'm currently stumped. I can't boot into the ClockworkMod recovery - instead I go to the stock android system recovery <3e>. This has been my complete procedure:
1 - Odin3 one-click downloader and connect phone in downloading... mode, click "start" to go back to stock
2 - odin one click "master clear"
3 - Samsung Kies update to Android 2.2 froyo and then Android 2.3 Gingerbread
4 - One click root
5 - Put .zip of ROM on internal sd root
6 - Odin3 v1.82 load ClockworkMod Recovery .tar
Now here is where I am stuck - I have the most up to date ClockworkMod Recovery but I can't boot into anything but the stock android system recovery <3e> (either through the app or by holding volume up and down and powering on) - where if I change the zip file name to update and try to apply update from sdcard I get an error that the signature verification failed. I'd like to install the latest build of ICS but I am just stuck - any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
You'll need a kernel with the non-3e recovery baked in. You can either flash a Gingerbread kernel with CWM (e.g. Boog's kernel) or flash a stock gingerbread rom with CWM in the kernel.
Ok - thank you. I have downloaded that Heimdall one-click .jar file. However I'm having trouble opening it... I feel really foolish ont his but if I extract the files I see a readme file that says I shouldn't be reading it and I have gone the wrong way. But if I open the unextracted file it tries to open in WinRAR and again non of the files seem like a program file that I can just open and run. Sorry about this...
No problem - just double-click the file. The .jar is an executable file that will install the necessary drivers, open the heimdall program, and get everything ready to flash. Once it's ready and sees your phone in download mode, all you have to do is click flash and it will do the rest.
I have now figured out ICS - I think I had the wrong .zip I was trying to install... Does the ICS allow for overclocking?
Ok - my apologies again for keeping going with this (but my main goal is to get to ICS) with that kernel it wouldn't let me install ICS (but I was able to do the latest CyanogenMod). On the Team Hacksung Wiki page FAQ on Galazy S it looks like CM7 kernels don't work - did the one I installed from the above thread have a CM7 kernel?
Does anyone know of a specific kernel I can use to go from stock 2.3.5 so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and install the ICS zip?
I'm sorry - I needed to update or install Java... Then I needed to install the correct drivers - automatically routed to this through the Heimdall program so it was easy enough (I think this has to do with switching between ODIN and Heimdall). Thank you again so much for the help. Time to give ICS a shot
YouTube ics video I had the same issue boog kerneral with cwm baked in it att boot loaders follow the instructions I'm using works great
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Moving to Q&A
Flash back to stock 2.1 which includes the 2e recovery which doesn't have signature checks. With that you can flash a cwm zip and get into the clockworkmod recovery. On the captivate you gotta reinstall the the update zip twice, once to install cwm, the other to actually go into cwm.

I wouldn't recommend flashing back to 2.1, as it is much easier to simply flash a kernel with CWM baked in.
That is also an option, both able to be done with several clicks of a button.

any help?
i try to enter to APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP
but have the same error :
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifcation failed
i have galaxy i9000b
also have the superuser , 2.2.1 froyo and wanna upg to ice cream or anything new
i read i have to change the android systema recovery <3e> to 2e ??
here i found a lynck with 3e-fix-unzip-uninstall
but these is for Captivate and doesn't work for i9000b ?
Yea 3e recovery has a signature check, and clockworkmod zips are not officially "signed." Either flash back to stock 2.1 eclair which has 2e recovery w/o signature checks, or flash a custom kernel with cwm already included, as suggested above. I cannot speak for if the modded 3e recovery will work on an i9000b.

Edit: this 3e mod should work on the i9000b, and has worked great for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

[Q] How to reflash rooted I9000 without Market

Hi guys,
Got myself between rock/hardspot. I'm trying to re-flash kernel on my I9000. Every time I try to flash via recovery (stock 3e), I get error saying failed E-signature verification.
I can't download any fixes from Market/Internet because of error: SIM not detected (this actually is *why* I want to reflash). However I CAN update via tar & Downloader using Odin 1.35, or from zip via stock recovery (3e). I can't flash *anything* (like ROM Manger or CWM) because of verification error above. Phone *does* appear to have CWM app installed, but it boots to stock 3e recovery *not* CWM recovery.
I spent over a week searching XDA and the web and tried many dozens of supposed solutions but can't find one that works. Most were either crapware or required Market access or ROM Manager.
Help! I have little hair left to pull out!

What he said, gets you cwm.
Plus it doesn't look like you have a modem/baseband installed, that will need to be flashed via ODIN, regardless.
Still No Joy on flashing ROM without Market
Thanks thedefault, but still no joy. Same old problem "E:signature verification failed". I tried CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v2.7-CWM3RFS.zip and CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS. This is the same old problem that's driven me batty for over a week - can't flash any zips. Any other suggestions?
How to install baseband/modem
Thanks nyloncrack. Excuse my ignorance, but where do I get "basebane/modem" to install? I thought this was included in Kernel(s). Note that I can't flash any zips because of E-signature problem, can only install via Odin.
Maybe signature check is enabled by default
Signature Verification IS on
thedefault:
Yes, signature verification is always on. (At least I can't figure out how to turn it off). I read in another thread that the stock Samsung recovery (3e) checks to make sure that the file was signed by Samsung. They further advised the enquirer to roll back to version 2e which did not include this. Of course, I can't get there from here.

But with CF-Root and custom kernel a custom recovery is used. No signature check at all.
Recovery that is in use
thedefault:
I'm not *running* the "custom kernel/custom recovery" - I'm trying to *flash* them. The kernel/recovery I'm *using* is the XXJW4 kernel and Samsung 3e recovery.
BTW: One Step Forward/One Step Back
I noticed that the CF-Root zip actually contained just a tar file. Eureka!, I can use Odin to flash it! But noooooo, after I did so, phone went into continuous-reboot-loop. Arrrrgh.
I rememberd that happend to me once but I found that reinstalling a full custom rom helped me out try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650 it might work out.

Well, you obviously have flashed wrong cf-root kernel. Grab one that goes with your current rom (jw4, right?). Just flash correct kernel with Odin and it should work just fine
And there's many good guides/tutorials in general section which should be quite straight forward stuff..
