No need to Odin.. it's a CWM flash. Just root your phone, install CWM, replace recovery with the patched 3e recovery (see attachment), copy firefly zip on internal sd, reboot into recovery and flash the firefly zip from the sdcard. Let it do it's job... It may looked stalled on Formating DATA for a while but just leave it alone for a few minutes (5-10) then it will go on. Reboot and your done.

flash it or not
do i have to put that attatchment in the root of my internal sd card and flash it with cwm?

Does firefly work on a stock ROM? Based on the OP's post, I think he has a stock rom on, and he rooted the same.

probably, anyways how would i get to stock firmware from a rom? 2.2

FireFly is going to replace the stock ROM
And yes you can Flash it over 2.1 (Eclair) or 2.2 (Froyo)
Check here for step by step directions
SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND

do i have to flash a kernel before flashing the rom or can i directly flash the rom?

You can directly flash the rom using CWM. Later on, you can switch to other kernel.

if i flash it and want to go back to stock, how would i get back to 2.2 rogers

From Stock Froyo to a RomKitchen Gingerbread ROM

Hi, So I have a Australian Galaxy S i9000 with stock 2.2 DTJP5.
I have finally decided to try a RomKitchen Gingerbread ROM, but I am not sure exactly what the entire process is.
Do I:
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Flash Gingerbread Bootloaders with Odin
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
or perhaps:
-Flash a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders using Odin
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
I cant find instructions that go into enough detail for the current Base ROM's on the RomKitchen Generator though, like,
-Which Base ROM should I choose- JV5, JV9 or JVO?
-Exactly what bootloaders and where from, do I get to flash first?
Also, is it easy to get back to my current stock, so I can update when Gingerbread is released officially?
Hoping someone has had some success and can help me out, Thanks!
Ok, now you have Froyo and you want to have GB.
So you'll need GB bootloaders. I would do it like this:
- wipe/format your internal sd
- Put the Kitchen-ROM on your internal sd
- Flash the Gingerbread-bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089989
- Go into recovery and flash the Kitchen-ROM
I've used the bootloader to install CM7, works very fine and downloading only the bootloader goes much faster than a ~200MB complete firmware from samfirmware.com or out of the XDA-forum here.
go with installing the stock gingerbread rom first..it is always safe. better safe than sorry
what i usually do...its a lengthy one...flash stock gingerbread, select a kernel with CWM, place the ROM in SD or EX-SD and install thru update.zip option.
which base are you looking for? JVO has got many themes now. and so does JVP.
its always a good option to check whether you have 3e recovery enabled!
Thanks!
What I ended up doing:
1) Flashed a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders (JVP from samfirmware.com) using Odin
2) Flashed this kernel [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519] with Odin
3) Used ClockworkMod to install the RomKitchen ROM
4) Did ext4 conversion, root, etc from ClockworkMod
5) Also managed to get a custom boot animation working
Good, and if everything went fine, you won't have any problems.
Is it OK to flash a new non-wipe RomKitchen ROM with a different kernel to the current kernel?

yes definitely, but remember to disable any lagfix if the new kernel does not support lagfix

[Q] How do I get my samsung galaxy s I9000 back to stock kernel DXJV9?

i want to flash again stock kernel Gingerbread 2.3.3 DXJV9.
i still have the stock kernel and odin but i dont have an idea how to do it.
i have done flashing through Odin but my phone it did not boot, so i have to flash CF-root again.
my current config is:
Firmware: Gingerbread 2.3.3 DXJV9

with the current kernel im getting bootloops everytime i open wifi and i am forced to factory reset in CWM 3.
so please help...
any solution on this?.... please.

Are you flashing with repartition?

[Q] Back to Eclair Stock ROM from Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Stock)

I can flash directly from Gingerbread? I tried 2 times with OdinOne Click flash but I have not flash because Odin gets stuck in factoryfs. Thanks to USB JIG I managed to revive my Captivate.
yes you can, but why?
odin sometimes locks up. keep trying. where did you get this one click?
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I will try with a file .tar i got. I need Flash CyanogenMod 7.1, the Stock ROM Gingerbread is worse than Eclair, I am disappointed, I thought it would be better
Another question. It is necessary wipe/data before flash with Odin?
Just flash CM7 from where you are now. And Odin wipes it for you
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
Are you sure that I can flash directly from Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Stock) to a ROM CyanogenMod 7.1 (Official)? Had I known it would not be with the disastrous Stock ROM 2.3.5. And from any Custom Kernel? I have Corn Kernel v7.06
Yes flash it with CWM Recovery and it will boot loop (supposed to happen). Pull the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery and wipe everything then flash CyanogenMod and Gapps. Reboot and you're good to go. If you wanna flash a custom kernel I recommend Glitch 13.1

[Q] Bootloop problem

I am just about to throw my phone at the wall.
So I was on stock 2.3.3 and decided I wanted to update to ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
I didn't have clockwork mod and wasn't rooted so I eventually got this working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Then I tried to install the ICS rom but it wouldn't work. I then tried to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353657 which for some reason didnt have any cell phone coverage.
I tried going back to the just rooted version of 2.3.3 but haven't been able to get the phone to go past the samsung logo / Clockwork Recovery.
Edit: Whenever I try flash the 2.3.3 rooted rom it updates me to Clockwork Mod Recovery v3.0.0.5 with HEAPS of errors.
Any ideas?
You should go back to a stock rom via Odin...you will need a rom that has 3 files (csc , modem, phone) and the Odin 512 .pit file and check the repartition box.

I flashed the cf root the same as the software my phone had under settings. I flashed it using odin.
There was an error message, I can't recall it exactly, it couldn't execute or something. Yup I wiped data.
Flash back to stock using odin
Thanks for the help guys
