[Q] i896 Stock?

Hi there. I'm new to the Android scene, so please bear with me.
Recently got a stock Rogers i896 (unlocked) running Eclair 2.1 update 1. Rooted using z4root, installed Perception build 10.1. Rooted & unlocked. Working great, minus GPS.
Now that the official Rogers Froyo update is out, I'm looking to upgrade to a custom ROM based on the official Rogers firmware. The latest cognition build seems like a good choice for me.
However, I have a few doubts before updating. I know that I should disable voodoo lagfix before updating. The main issue is that I still have my stock i896 boot, and I would like to keep it that way. In order to install a new ROM, I've read that it's advisable to go back to "stock Eclair". However, to my understanding, most of these guides would actually end up putting AT&T Eclair onto my phone, which is highly undesirable.
Can somebody please shed some light on this? I've come across CWM flashable i896 stock froyo, but I'm unsure as to whether this would qualify as flashing "back to stock". I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, and I've honestly tried my best to read up and understand these terms. Any help would be appreciated.

+1 , i got a phone that was rooted off someone today and i want to bring mine back to stock...

[Q] Super Noob; Help wanted :(

So I recieved a T-mobile G1 recently, and I wasnt satisfied with the stock rom. Before this phone, I had an htc aria and on this same site I was able to install the cyanogen rom on it, more or less with ease, but even with following all the guides on the forums, I havnt been able to flash a custom onto the phone.
Here what I have done so far:
I got the phone with the DMD64 build version so using the wiki I was able to get it to rc28 (or 29 im not sure I dont remember)
Then following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 I think I rooted the phone along with installing the hardspl and update.zip
after I did that i flashed this rom? http://andblogs.net/2009/01/jesusfrekes-14-images-are-out/
After that, I downloaded cyanogen magpie cm7, renamed it to update.zip and tried to flash it, but on the recovery menu it said it could find the install script.
right now heres the info on the phone:
Firmware: 1.0
baseband: 62.33.20.08u_1.22.12.29
kernal:
2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 [email protected] #1
build number:
kila_uk-user 1.0 tc5-rc8 116470 ota-rel-keys,release-keys
If some one could tell me how to flash the custom rom and what the radio stuff means or if you could just send me to a forum with everything already answered for me that would be greatly appreciated
(I've used the search bar and everything )

SGS I9000 - Help for flashing

Hi everyone!
I have a SGS (GT-I9000) that I would like to flash with cyanogenmod7. But despite having read quite a lot of stuff about flashing and so on the internet, I have to admit I am a noob, this is why I would need some advice
I had the phone with 2.2.1. I rooted it with the one click utility and unlocked it with the market app few months ago.
Then I flashed it with Darky's 9.5. After a while, I decided to upgrade it with darky's 10 rc6 but something went wrong (and I have no idea what it could be). Honestly, it has been a while now and I could not say what exactly happened, I can just tell you what I can read on my phone:
Firmware version:
2.3.3
Baseband:
I9000XXJVK
Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVB-CL118186
[email protected] #Dark_Core_2.0
Build number:
FICETO.GINGERBREAD.XWJVB
I noticed something which I think is curious. I just intalled Kies in order to get the drivers for the phone, and I received a message:
A new firmware version is available...
current version: PDA:JVB / PHONE:JVK / CSC:JV3
(NEE)
latest firmware version: PDA:JVH / PHONE:JVO / CSC:JV3
(NEE)
But I always thought that when you flashed a custom rom, Kies could not update your phone anymore ?
So do you think that I can just flash the rom in recovery following the guide on cyanogenmod's wiki or should I revert back to stock ?
Thank you for your attention.

Just flash cm. Backup your application with TB, factory reset and follow flashing guide.
If you encounter any problems, you can always flash to stock then.

[Q] Rooted Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000M - Can't flash ROM's

Just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M (Bell) using Root Unlock. Have superuser and ROM Manager installed (recently found that ROM manager incompatible for flashing new ROM's) Error msg - E: failed to verify whole file signature
My understanding now is that I would be better rooting using CF-Root with a customized kernel for my Gingerbread 2.3.3 build (haven't found one yet but see several options for 2.3.5)
Question: Assuming that I can find and install an appropriate kernel via Odin, do I need to restore my phone to OEM (unrooted) before I can head down the path of a CF-Root or can I install a new kernel on my phone as it exists in its rooted condition?
Any info or direction would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to flash a new ROM anyways, you can just flash a kernel via Odin. You will have to wipe everything before the ROM flash.

Do I need a kernel specific to my firmware version? Or can I install say, a Gingerbread kernel of a different version like 2.3.5? I see several options for downloads for this one, but not for the 2.3.3 version that I have currently installed. There was one link I found for a 2.3.3 kernel but it was no longer available on megaupload.
If I can and do opt for another kernel, when you say wipe everything... that includes the partition as well?
Thanks much for the reply, I'm really just getting started with all the in's and out's of rooting.
Thusfar, it seems to be a bit intensive for this particular Galaxy model compared to the all the success stories I'm seeing on later phones and OS versions.

[Q] Rooting 2.3.3 JVK

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to root an i9000 2.3.3 XXJVK However Im struggling to find a guide with working download/links
info:
Model - GT-I9000
Firmware - 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000XXJVK
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVKCL75655 [email protected] #2
Build: GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
it was recently restored, I'm pretty sure it was 2.3.6 before however it is refusing to update now.
Anyone got a working guide / download links?
I have also seen a few people with IMEI issues should I be backing up the IMEI before somehow?
The aim is to get to 4.X as 2.3 is to laggy and eats battery.
Thanks!!

The best thing to do is to upgrade to either XXJW4 or XXJVU just to be on the safe side using Odin.
In the development section there is a thread to do with CF-Root. These are specific to the firmware you are running on, eg. CF-Root made for XXJW4 can only be flashed on XXJW4.
These come with a custom recovery as well so once you've flashed Cf-Root you can just flash whatever rom you want through recovery.
I'm sorry I can't post links to any of these as it's hard to multitask on an old tablet - searching through the I9000 forums will get you to CF-Root and stuff quickly
IMEI issues only occur because people jump from 2.3.x -> 4.1 and above. To prevent that you have to go from 2.3.x - > 4.0.4 -> whatever rom you want. Tedious, I know, but it prevents IMEI from being lost. If you check your internal storage under a foler called /backup you might find backups of your IMEI as well.

You should just always backup your IMEI before modifying any system component. As soon as you get root access you can do it with terminal command.
