What rom.. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000M JL2 froyo 2.2. This is my second galaxy because the first one i had the internal sd died! I want to have a new fast ROM that is veryy smooth. I was about to flash Darkys when i came across seeARMS! now i am stuck beteen which one to flash. And when flashing the i9000M is there any secrets i should know to not brick or kill the sd again? thanks guys

why dont you flash both and see for yourself which one you like most ??? everyone has their own opinion on which ROM is the best... its all down to personal preference....
and as for the steps to take to avoid damage.... the only step i can advise is to read the thread carefully... any precautions will be on the thread so take your time... and try to learn how to 'unbrick' your phone first.... incase you run into any problems

is that a yes??
yes, you can
Many ways to do it... I've used Darky's, Ultimate and a few others... settled on Doc&Stef's RomKitchen as they use stable components and the process is very easy to use and well documented.

just flash CF-Root via odin, then clockworkmod, create a backup and try the romkitchen or darkys rom. best roms imo
But in this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939752

I need to install first a custom firmware ?

Well the simple answer is look at page one of Darkys posts where oddly enough the instructions are written as how to flash his rom .
Bit of advice dont flash until you really understand what you are doing unless you want to join the IBSGS club short for i bricked my galaxys an now it does not work .

Shouldn't that be IBMSGS club?
This is becoming way too common. Flashing before reading.
I dont want to brick my phone, if that happens i will cry like a b*** xp I will do step by step
You should look out for Darky's ROM, best ROM out there! It makes your SGS so damn fast
They even have a great step by step tutorial on how to root/flash your SGS. Don't have the link by hand, you should look out for it ^^
One advice: Never ever flash the official 2.2 Update from Samsung. My phone was nearly turned complete useless because I had since then terrrible performance problems...

[Q] 2.3.3 ROM

Hi,
I install Samsung Leak ROM 2.3.3.
And I would like to install new custom ROM.
Can you recommend me what ROM I should install and what are the steps ?
I have Galaxy S I 9000
Best advice for you is to look around the Development section at what ROMs are available. All are very well made and the threads for them are usually very informative and give easy to follow instructions to allow you to flash the custom ROM.
You should be careful posting questions like this, some people may flame you a bit as they'll tell you that you should just look into the threads and learn

They post that stuff because someone who doesn't know how to get back to 2.2.1 shouldn't have installed 2.3.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
should help you out abit mate, remember any 2.3.3 will not be completly stable,, im on darkys 9.3 Rom with 2.2.1 i think i wil wait till Gingerbread is official and a good rom like Darkys V10 is final before i make the jump.
Official gingerbread as of now .So it will be in the rom kitchens soon and adapted by the end of the week .
Best rom choice build your own in the rom kitchen .

Or read the threads on roms in Development and read the help posts on the forum to see which roms continually break phones .

[Q] First time to root, i'm scared =S

Hi
I have a SGS i9000 , still not rooted or flashed . I also heared that it might brick my phone, so I would like if someone gives me the best rooting tutorial which worked for him
some of my sgs infos :
frimware version : 2.3.4
Baseband ersion : I9000XXJVR
I'm sorry if this topic allready exists, but i'm so scared x)
thx for reading​
first and foremost, backup all data you have on your phone.
then try to understand the consequences that may occur after you root your phone (your warrany might be voided)
watch this video to learn how to root: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55zXmrMFXkU
or learn from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
also if anything bad happens during rooting and your phone gets bricked. don't worry. just keep calm and come back to the thread. you can review a bricked sgs with ease.
happy rooting!
I felt the same way dude...what if i bricked my lovely new sgs?!? But one day i came to this site, see the dark knight rom and just thought fcuk it im goin for it. Rooting and flashing roms takes litterally a few minutes. As long as you follow all instructions exactly, you cant go wrong.
They put the disclaimer in the posts about possible damage but thats only so nobody can blame them. Those few sentences are enough to scare you (like it scared me) into not attempting it but i guarentee you, after your first flash that doubt is all gone and you wont be able to stop modding
I can link you to the exact post i used on my first ever flash if you want....Good luck.

you need a lot of reading, please read every sticky of the mini forum
you can take your phone back to stock by flashing firmware through Odin (PC software)
first you will need to be on gingerbread because every rom here is maid for gb
second read about cwm recovery, recovery is what you will need to flash custom rom
follow every procedure correctly and no brick will be in your path
i think im using gingerbread, ill provide SS..
so i need to DL ODIN in my PC(stock purposes?)
if i follow the step by step procedure 100%? no brick will happen?
is there any link for CWM RECOVERY?
google for flashing firmware to mini and you will get Odin
read about flashing cwm, now also Odin will be used and do jot use rom manager your mobile may brick
for 2-3 days do only reading then do what you want to
damn im fxckng scared to flash my phone even though i read tuts bout flashing
nothing to scare for when we are here just clarify all your doubts before doing anything

First you will have to flash CWM
Follow the steps in the link given below:
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html#.UDIx1KniaM9
Then you have to install a custom ROM of your choice(according to your specifications)
I suggest Andro-id 3.2
Follow the link below to flash Andro-id 3.2:

And that's it!
