Hello XDA,
I've used ODIN to flash to my default ROM on a few occasions when my SGS decided to not boot. This is a sort of pain, since I flash back to stock 2.1, then I have to upgrade to Darky 8.0 on 2.2 to access the "Darky Configurator" and then flash again to the latest Darky after using the configurator application.
Are there default 2.2 roms available? I couldn't find any. If not, can you use Odin to flash to a custom rom like Darky's?
I now realized that Darky has just released an Odin version, perfect!

I currently flashed Darky Rom 9.6 on my phone and live in Aus. To do this i installed a japanese rom and then a kernal and then the darky zip. I want to go back to stock so i can flash the official gingerbread to try it on the phone. Do i have to do anything special due to flashing a kernal and another rom? Is there a quide on how to go back as i found a quide to flash to darky but not back to stock.
well you need to flash a stock firmware with all 3 files and 512 pit.
this will remove any file system conversion caused by darky / voodoo kernel.
head over to www.samfirmware.com and find the firmware for your region, flash it through odin ( instructions on site ) and then take the path to gingerbread
it is also better that you remove/disable any lagfix if it has already been applied.
also remember that after installing the stock rom, you will then need a stock gingerbread rom with a bootloader..
good luck
Hi,
I've tried to flash the latest MIUI ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S but now I'm stuck at recovery mode. When I reboot I always get into recovery mode. I just can't boot it. I tried to wipe and put other rom's on it but I just can't get phone working! I can get into download mode.
So can my phone still be saved?
Hope you guys can help me out!
I would try a clean XXJPU install with ODIN, after you'r on stock install a custom kernel with root - then try cm7 (easier install ) then moving to muiu would be easy.
okay thank you, you would be a hero of you could save my phone haha.
wich custom kernel do you prefer?
If you have download mode install a clean 2.2.1 JPU whith Odin (pit 512 and Re-partition).
Once you have it working, flashing as you want.
Froyo 2.2.1 custom Kernel: speedmod k13d.
GB 2.3.3 custom kernel:Voodoo test 6.0 or GTO Ginger JVH RC1 v2.1.
both for recovery (zip files).
DamianGTO Ginger JVH RC1 v2.1 kernel works fine for gingerbread roms
if you are able to get into donwload mode, you are saved
looks like the ROM you are instlling aint working, or your doing it wrong
i would suggest trying a stock firmware first then you can go crazy and try with new stuff
Hi guys. I got a problem with sgs.
SOme time ago I've updated from stock froyo to simply honey 3.3. it's running on 2.3.3 JVO firmware and speedmod JVH kernel. Now i want to update to jvp and install tiramisu rom. I did that, but it shows that its still JVO/JVH and its 2.3.3.
I think i did everything right.
First i flashed stock JVP over to current rom in odin with pit
then kernel
and then via cwm rom.
ROm is installed correctly. THere are some bug, but i think its due to the fact that its based on jvo. how can i install the firmware i want?
any ideas/.
Flash stock-JVP (in Odin with PIT-file + Re-Partition) and then the ROM with CWM, it must work.

I currently have a rooted phone with custom 2.2.1 based rom.
CWM recovery is also installed.
I'd like to know if I can flash a stock rom via recovery.
You need Odin/heimdall to flash a stock ROM. Look in the development section stickies, or do an official update
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
So if I downloaded I897UCKJ2.rar I can only flash it via ODIN ?
You are on Froyo bootloader...with froyo rom...for GB roms u have to flash GB bootloader...there is a whole thread in Dev section with different options to flash GB...I would suggest flash KK4 with bootloader and then Kernel with CWM built in...and u will be good...NOTE: Falshing bootloader might brick your phone...but u just have to do it once...
If you just want the latest "stock" gingerbread you can just use the samsung kies mini to get kk4 and it will give you bootloaders and the stock rom
I'm trying to flash a custom ROM + kernel and I'm running into some problems that I need tips for:
The main problem is that I can't easily flash Clockworkmod to do a backup. I'm on ZSJV6, and apparently this has 3e Recovery, which does not allow simply flashing from ROM Manager. Now I read that the answer to this is to flash the custom kernel CF Root- but what I plan to end up with is Darkyrom + Semaphore kernel, and Semaphore has CWM in it anyway. Do I have to flash CF Root -> Darkyrom -> Semaphore in that order?
Second question- If yes, which version of CF Root? I'm on official ZSJV6, and I see no JV6 version.
Third question- Do kernel versions and ROM versions have to match? I see the latest version of Darky is based on JW1, but Semaphore 2.5 is based on JVU. Can they be used together, and if so, does anything need to be done to make them play nice together?
Fourth question- How is JVU newer than JW1?
first - there is an easy enough way to skip the recovery. use this guide and rom first (cant link to it bugger)(go to darkys rom site. look for gti9000. then [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000. that will put you on to darkys version of cwr. then flash the newer version of darkys rom to get to jv1 and after the semaphore kernal in recovery.
second - i have no idea. im guessing there the same.
3rd. i believe the kernel has to support the android version and the rom has to support the kernel(and vice versa) you can always try it anyway. if it boot loops just flash darkys 10.2 again to get back to basics.
4th - jvu is 2.3.6 and jw1 is 2.3.5 android
