[Q] ROM backup - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
i've got a problem which hopefully you guys can help me with. i rooted my i9000(2.2) with z4root and then installed oclf....
now i wanted to flash gingerbread 2.3.3, so to backup the current ROM i installed ROM manager 3.0.2.2 and did flash cwm recovery, then proceeded to 'backup current ROM' but i'm getting this screen - Android system recovery (3e) and its giving me the message that its' updating media, installing mulit-csc and install default apk-files... how can i backup the ROM? i tried searching but couldn't come up with anything useful...any help would be appreciated.. i'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to this stuff

you can't install a custom zip with 3e recovery install a kernel containing cwm or if it is easier for you a rom including it(darky resurection for example) you can also downgrade your recovery and then install cwm with rom manager(2.1 roms have 2e recovery it is even possible to downgrade it with a script)
easiest would be darkys rom with odin
do you have 3btn?
edit:btw you need clockworkmod(cwm) to do a backup

yes i've got 3btn and about the cwm it's currently unable to backup... should i install speedmod kernel?.... i'll try darky's rom like you mentioned but won't i need to backup first?
thanks for the reply

well you can't backup without cwm any kernel flashable with odin/heimdall having cwm will do it ...
with darky's resurrection you will loose all apps and everything
you should use titanium to save them but don't restore system apps in 2.3
backing up efs is a must tho...

sounds like CWM is NOT installed to me? (3e would seem to indicate it hasn't to me) but I haven gone to gingerbread myself yet.

one more question, after installing darky's rom can i upgrade to gingerbread 2.3 with kies if samsung releases the upgrade?

no it will not work with kies buth with odin
remember you will delete everythinv on your phone (not the files/media but settings apps contacts etc. so save them)
you can use darkys normal rom no need for resurection

i had oclf and speedmod installed.. so i disabled the oclf lagfix and removed the ext2 tools... but before flashing darky's rom i forgot to go in recovery mode and disable lagfix, is that a problem?? the rom is working perfectly but i read some posts that the lagfix should be disabled...

they aren't on by default with speedmod.
even if on it shouldn't be a problem because both kernels(you used dark voodoo with darky ?) know ext4 but it is better to deactivate it. i myself had a problem with it it didn't mount data..
if it works now you are good to go
just a tip make nandroid backup before any lagfix chance

before flashing i installed darkyrom manager and in the kernel option selected skip since i already had speedmod... i think i didn't use dark voodoo(installed version 9.5)?...but i did go in the advanced options in speedmod before the flash and enabled the lagfix and changed the data_fs, cache & DBDATA to ext4... i have already done nandroid backup....the phone has become so smooth it just feels different
thanks for replying gbohm.. you've been very helpful

you are very welcome.
you kept the kernel so what you flashed had no influence on your lagfix.
only if you chance ther kernel there could be problems.
if you flash a kernel better turn off lagfix (just to be safe)
in many cases there is no need to put it off but you have to know them with off you are safe to go...

[Q] help with flashing cm7 phone just goes back to factory standard

Hi
I'm having problems flashing to cyanogen mod on my galaxy s. I've rooted it, installed clockword mod recovery, after having to change the kernel to get back to 2e recovery. I have the mod file on my sd card, not my external sd, and have renamed it to update. I have tried a number of times to flash the rom, through rom manager and going directly into cwm. I wipe the data and the cache before.
Yet each time it just reboots into the factory standard, like when I bought my phone. Sorry if i've missed something obvious, but i'm at a loss. Please help
You need to flash a gingerbread rom which has a cwm kernel. Ramad has done his stuff on a jvt rom I believe.
Check the cm7 thread for further flashing instructions - the steps are quite clear.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
You can also try to use the CM7 install guide linked in my signature, however it sounds like your problem is not flashing CM7, but flashing CWM3. Plenty of good guides for that on XDA...find one.
The trickiest part of installing CM7 now is just getting CWM set up properly. Once you do that, it is all cake.
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I thought that a froyo 2.2 rom was needed for cm7, although I was taking my information from the cyanogen wiki. I will seek out the gingerbread rom then. I am on cwm 2.5 currently so this may well be the problem.
rschenk: I did read through your guide and notice that I was unable to select samsung galaxy s mtd in rom manager, only galaxy i1900, and also was unable to select cwm 3 so thought this may be something to do with it. Also I couldn't see cm7 in the rom manager downloads and had to dowload it from cm7 site. After reviewing the guide again I am now a little confused whether I need gingerbread rom with cwm kernel, or whether I could flash speedmod kernel and put cwm 3 on after that.

CM7 can be flashed over either froyo or gingerbread as long as the kernel installed allows you to flash from cwm recovery.
Did you get the option when flashing Rom manager recovery to use galaxy s mtd? When you choose it it will say it is not supported, but it is lying.

No I didn't get that option, I got Vibrant (mtd) captivate (mtd) but not galaxy s mtd, only galaxy I9000.
Still not exactly sure how to proceed, I've just flashed speedmod kernel for froyo, but its put me back on recovery mode 3e again, no cwm at all. Think I need to find the gingerbread rom with cmw kernel, struggling to find it on search at the moment.
But you will get better battery life if you have gingerbread bootloaders no?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Ok, after going recovery second time, this time manually as opposed to through rom manager, speedmod cwm appeared. Successfully flashed to cyanogen from here no probs. Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
As for battery life on gingerbread bootloaders, no idea, too noob to know.
Glad it's sorted. You do get better battery life from gingerbread bootloaders.

[Q] What`s the correct kernel to my device??

Hi guys. I have a I9000 and i want to install the CyanogenMod 9 on it. I`ve Already rooted my phone using the Unlock Root. However, I can`t go to the Clockworkmod recovery to install customs rooms. I tried to flash the CWM recovery using the Rom Manager app, but when i was installing, an error happened. I figured out that the problem is my kernel that is not compatible with the CWM. I know that i have to flash a compatible kernel using Odin, but which kernel should i flash??? My device is a Galaxy S I9000, 2.3.5 android, and 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVT-CL617736 kernel. Already rooted. Please someone could help me??
Thank you so much
Don't use rom manager, use Odin to flash, CWM is bundled with rooted kernel (CF-root, Semaphore)

Hi, I have the same error problem, cf root was not bundled with my own root package. I flashed to gingerbread 2.3.6 xwjw1, I also tried rom manager to flash recovery and it was successful, but when I rebooted to recovery to backup my current rom it bootes to the android (3e) recovery. As I've discovered it seems rom manager is not compatible with the xwjw1 series. How do I get the correct cf root for xwjw1? Believe me I have tried google and am scared of the things I see since "jw1" is not behind any of the cf root packages I see. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
xtome
On xwjw1 you can Odin flash as PDA Semaphore 250 tar kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14481782
Untick re-partition before flashing.
After reboot you may need to install Superuser from Play Store.
That will give you root, CWM, gingerbread ready for CM9.1

Use Odin to flash (put .tar in PDA and uncheck repartition). You can flash Semaphore JVT 1.8.0 or CF-Root v4.3

Thanks Sunny men, but OT's advice worked, I can now boot to semaphore recovery and wipe etc.
Question though, if I now flash cm9.1 rom, will I be able to boot to recovery without the holding any button combinations. What I mean is can I boot to recovery from the shutdown menu or do I need an app for it?
Also is cm9.1 the best rom for my phone? any thots guys? Thanks again.

Yes, in CM 9.1 you can boot directly to recovery from the shutdown menu. CM 9.1 is very stable and fast, so try it. And when you flash CM9 for the first time, your galaxy will go into a bootloop. Then remove the battery, put it in, go to recovery with 3-button configuration and flash it again.

Hi guys, thanks for all the help. I have flashed CM 9.1 successfully.
Everything works OK for now.
Also flashed gapps, CM 9.1 seems to be a great ROM.
I have a question though, the gapps I flashed seems to have only a few Google apps, play store and Google talk. The file size was 49mb so is that all that's in gapps or is there a hidden mode or something.
Also, sin007 I can't find any reboot to recovery from the shutdown menu, though I flashed a stable version of CM 9.1 and not a "nighty version". Could that be the reason? But no biggie, CM 9.1 comes with rom manager.
Finally I wouldn't mind any tips you guys have on making the most out of the ROM.
Thanks and all the best.
Shutdown menu - Reboot - Recovery
OK?
There is an APP on google play, sgs kernel flash, it is easier and faster than Odin. And works perfectly. I've flash the speedmod kernel and finally upgrade to cyanogenmod 9.1.
Anyone knows if this APP works on galaxy s2 (i9100)?

NANDROID ? Don't use stock recovery. Don't make nandroid backup for stock rom.
so how should i flash cwm recovery .
and which recovery is best suited for nandroid backups and comptability with all apps.
does it necessarily require me to install custom roms.

I am in same situation with a GT-S5570, it has stock rom and is rooted. I downloaded Clockwork Manager to it's SD card.
Then from stock Recovery manager I tried to install CWM from sd card. The screen got distorted and graphic looked awful.
Had to reboot and nothing got installed.
Tried Odin but it won't recognize my phone while in Downloading mode.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2........any ideas? I guess I need somekind of backup first, if I mess up and need to reinstall stock? Hard to do with stock recovery mode though.

Apps can always be reinstalled in no time I think, problem is I can't install CWM from stock recovery, when selecting update from sd/zip or whatever it says, I pick the CWM file on my SD-card.
Then the graphic gets messed up and I can no longer see the menu clear.

before you flash cwm make sure its in the root directory of your sdcard... . So to say sd root is to say the topmost folder on the sdcard, which is just on the sd and not in a folder.
without getting odin recognize your Mobile you should not flash anything as if you get in any trouble it would be easy for you to flash the stock rom
and best and safest method to flash cwmr is to flash it through odin
you cannot backup stock rom with cwm recovery only custom one's can be backed up
to backup apps and data you should use titanium backup

[Q] Where has my root gone? (Not able to Root after Odin Flash!)

Hey Guys, I flashed DDKQ8 firmware yesterday via Odin. Before that, yes my SGA was rooted and I was using CM10.1 + PurePerformance Patch + S2E on DDKQ5 firmware. (I took a Nandroid backup of it, before I flashed DDKQ8 via Odin)
After Odin flash, I used Universal gb root and there was a Super SU app in my application menu, I actually never bothered to open it up, and again went to the stock recovery to flash CWM 5.0.2.6 custom recovery.
After it, I wiped SGA to factory settings (and other blah blah) and restored my nandroid backup.
Since this point, I don't have a Root Access on my phone!
I tried flashing old upd_1.zip over it. Doesn't work..
I tried flashing universal gb UNROOT, Doesn't work.
I tried flashing universal gb ROOT again.. Doesn't work.
I tried flashing OLD unroot.zip over it.. Doesn't work.
I don't have a root access anymore on my phone! S2E from old Nandroid Backup, Doesn't work.. All newly installed applications are being installed in internal space,.. However, old applications are mounted under sd-ext and works fine!
Any suggestions? Or should I just flash it via Odin again?

[Q] galaxy tab p1000 overcome v4.0.0 not rooted

i have a galaxy tab p1000 v/ gingerbread 2.3.3. i followed the instructions on installing the GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip and Overcome v4.0.0 kernel using heimdall utility. After a couple of tries, i was able to get the kernel to install and things are working fine. I thought Overcome v4.0.0 kernel install will give me root access but apparently not. Can i run the doomsLord v4 rooting toolkit to root this or not? I dont' want to mess it up again and redo the entire install process to fix again. Also, i downloaded the clockworkmod app from the google store but it doesn't support the p1000. How and where do i obtain custom roms and install on this device? can i download cyanogenmod custom rom, put it in the sd card and boot to recovery and run install? Not sure since i now have the Overcome v4.0.0 kernel, i can't install any of these roms? i've never used custom roms so no sure what can and cannot be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can install overcome ROM 4.1 (not just the kernel)
If you want, it is rooted, you can follow my signature.
But overcome kernel 4.0 is what gives you cwm recovery. That is the recovery you can use to install cyanogenmod or any custom ROM.
Just read their respective instructions.
Ask again if you are stuck.

hi, from the link you sent, i see a couple of overcome 7 series v4.1 , which one can i use that won't mess up what i currently have? also, are you saying after installing one of these, it'll also root the tab? i'd like to remove some apps like 'Pulse' and the Office software on this device. Thanks again.
I always use the no wipe version.
You can always wipe data manually from cwm if needed.
But always make a habit of wiping cache and dalvik cache when changing ROM/kernel.
Yes, when you install rooted ROM, you have root.
I don't think pulse is built in. You can uninstall from Play market.
But if you can't remove, learn how to use Titanium Backup to uninstall apps.
You don't seem like a person who needs root.....

hi, sorry i'm not an expert on this so i'm bugging you again. So my p1000 tab has firmware 2.3.3 , kernel 2.6.35.7 Overcome-v4.0.0 #40. You mentioned i can install ROM 4.1 . I see in your list Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip. To update to that, do i just copy it to my internal SD, fire up CWM Recovery and go thru the 'install menu, choose zip from internal sd' , select this zip file and update? Or i can't do it that way?
that is the right way.
