[Q] Please help me did I brick my phone?

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

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

Confused about firmware versions

Hey everyone. So I have an SGS2 rooted and running a custom rom and now am doing the same with a bell i9000m.
I used Kies to update to 2.3.3.
However, no matter what kernel I flash, I always have a boot loop. I have NO CWM and I would like to get that for the ability to hard reset...
I can only really access Download mode. Tried flashing back to stock 2.3.3 KG3 rooted kernel and still no luck. Tried CF Root JVP 3.7 (to get CWM) and still no cwm and a boot loop.
If I have updated to 2.3.3 doesn't that mean I have the gingerbread bootloader now? No matter what kernel I flash, I always seem to be getting a freaking boot loop, but it should be working....
Am I flashing the wrong firmware version or something? Or just getting unlucky with boot loops (Seeing as how CF root won't even boot)
Just kinda confused because for CF root you are supposed to install a version with a similar version model (JVP,ect) but the i9000m had JL2 (for froyo), and KG3 (for gingerbread) which are not options for CF-root

[Q] i9000m 2.3.3 to ICSSGS RC3.1

I've been doing a little reading and it appears some people have problems flashing ICS roms to the i9000m.
Can I simply just flash the ICSSGS RC3.1 rom to my phone, or is there a bit more involved in getting this Galaxy S version on an ICS Rom.
Also would love to hear from people who have the Canadian i9000m and who have upgraded to ICS, and what their experiences have been like.
Thanks

Is your phone rooted, if not you'll need to start with that.

Hi,
I have a Bell I9000M, which is just the international version I9000 with an "M" slapped on to the end of the model name, so you're in the right forum
It's pretty simple to flash to ICS from 2.3.3. All you really need is CWM recovery installed. If you're coming from pure stock 2.3.3 for the I9000M, then here are the steps for flashing ICS:
1. Flash to any Gingerbread firmware that's compatible, I usually go for something like JVT 2.3.5 which can be found in the stock firmware collection thread, so in these steps I'll just assume you're going to use JVT.
2. Flash Chainfire's kernel (make sure you flash the right CF kernel version for your stock firmware) over the stock JVT. This will root and install CWM to your phone.
3. Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (hold volume up, home, and power while starting the phone).
4. Flash onecosmic's ICS ROM or teamhacksung's ICS ROM (or whatever ICS ROM you want) through CWM recovery. Both of these ROMs listed can be found in the I9000 development section.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I've run into a bit of a problem. Odin will recognize my phone when it is on because I have usb debugging enabled, but it won't recognize it in download mode. I soft bricked it and was barely able to recover it with the one click unsoft brick app.
I've tried different ports and restarting my pc. I did come across a rooted kernel that would work with my phone, but I can't flash it because odin won't recognize the phone in download mode. So it seems like I'm a little stuck now. heimdall does detect the phone in download mode though.
any ideas

try to download the drivers to your computer and make sure that there is no Kies program activity running in the background in task manager, then after that try to go into download mode and plug your sgs back

I am almost in the same position. I have 2.3.3 all stock.
Firmware version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - I9000UGKG3
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7 I9000UGKG3
Buildnumber - gingerbread.GKG3
So i need to go to 2.3.5 using JVT.

do not forget to backup your rom and WIPE everything . (not wiping usually causes bootloops and it may even bug the phone so you cant go to recovery and you'll have to use odin again ) .
I tried ICSSGS RC4.2 and it kinda sux ,in my opinion use Dark Knight 3 and flash Dark Knight 4 to fix the bugs from both roms (read rom's topic) . Very stable and not that memory hungry

Help getting cwm

Hey everyone, i currently own a rooted galaxy s i9000 that runs 3e recovery and a really buggy custom Israeli rom.
I would like to flash another rom but 3e needs rom verification or something like that so i can't really work through it.
I understand that i should use ODIN to flash CF-Root, but the rom has changed the build number somehow so i don't know which version to use.
Some info:
Android Number:2.3.3
Build NumberilotxRom JVH GINGERBREAD V1.1.2
If you could post a link to the right CF-Root and ODIN files i should use and some basic instructions i would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance, Daniel.

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.

flash GingeBread 2.3.6(Maybe xxjvu or JW4) and flash cf-root.
you may follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149455
to use custom rom GB 2.3.6 is a good start, if you want to flash cm10.1 i suggest after you flash CM7(GB) -> cm9 (ICS) ->CM10 (JB) to avoid lost imei.
