[Q] Install new ROM 2.3

Hello,
I try to install new ROM the my first time (and also try to backup my ROM)
So I root my phone (I hope I did it )
and I install ROM Manager .
I download ROM Ultibread-V1.4.ZIP and copy to the root of the SD.
When I open the ROM manager and select to backup my ROM or select Install ROM fro SD Card and get into recovery mod I'm getting only the following options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip (this all the time give me error that the file is corrupt even if I download and copy new file
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
format internal sd-card
How can I solve that ?

An easy alternative would be to flash any Froyo Kernel. It would give you Clockwork Recovery directly. You just have to boot into recovery and apply the ROM.

Thats because stock rom can not run unsigned update.zip.
Try to flash speedmod or ultimate kernel via ODIN.
But please make sure that you have 2e or 3e recovery before you use ODIN

Flash cf root in Odin. This will give you 2e recovery which you need to install zip files. Then flash speedmod Odin version and you should have working cwm.

hi dude,
what I would suggest is using Darky's rom ressurection edition
i had the exact same prob but it got solved
it's a little difficult but you shouldn't get stuck if u follow the instructions well

this should work

I think I'll wait with flashing Gingerbread for Darky's rom based on it Wouldn't change that for anything else!

ATTENTION: This is exactly the same way to flash any other custom samsung rom.
You can't flash with this procedure roms like CM7 MIUI AND ALL OTHERS ROMS BASED ON CM7.

In first procedure in recovery (vol up + power + home), DON'T do a factory reset !
First, with repartition in Odin everything should be clean and second a factory reset seems to remove "sim toolkit" app and at next boot you'll be stuck at "Unlocking sim card" step.
Please, edit this tutorial or add "sim toolkit" app in the rom.

I am using a Galnet Twooey III (2.3.5) with Gingerbread bootloaders.
Do I need to go back to Froyo bootloaders?
Or the only thing to do is just to flash the CGR v79 using CWM?

or install stock jvr->replace core to darkcore 3.1-> install v79 from cwm-> replace core?
or any other solution?

FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final - how to install
Hello
I have an samsung galaxy i9000 with
Gingerbread 2.3.3: JV9 - JVO - JV7
I downloaded the file
FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final: CriskeloRom_GINGERBREAD_v77_I9000-I9000T-I9000M.zip
Lets try it...

After installation
This is a GREAT ROM.
I am really happy with it.
Very awesome.
Everything works fine!
And my i9000 has bekomme even faster, so I can underclock for saving battery.
Keep up the good work.

Finally after all joy of this mod I have some suggestions.
I am using the version v77.
When trying to apply the battery mods or the blue theme, the phone loops while talking to the SIM card. Only way out, to restore my backup.
There might be the possibility, that I did not read enough about the battery mods, however, my knowledge of spain is zero.
Another question. I like the gel type style of buttons, as shown in gingercriskelos adress tab. I themed a lot for nokia. Would it not be nice to use this kind of tabs (buttons with gel effect) for the selected tab at any modus?

dark side of dark core
I am happy with v77. My prob. unfortunately i used a ext4 and forgot to reset!
When I saw v79 I tried it.
Install ZIP from SD Card.
I did not consider, that another kernel was included: Darkcore.
I end up with the astronaut.
All my cwm backups became unusable.
So I went for a clean gingerbread install and put v77 on top again. So I lose my product code.
Why didnt you stay with the old architecture, so that users can follow upgrades easily with cwm zip without wipe.
best regards
jodahush

not much movement in this thread anymore. People moves to v79
Just want to mention, that I can install battery and theme mod now.
My problem was the ext4 lagfix i used before.
I am interested to know, how those mods works with darckcore, since this thig is allways lagfixed. (v79)
Criskelo seems to move to Galaxy S2. I hope somebody continue his great ROM

I installed as per guide but I don't have google maps and don't know how to Install it?!!
tia

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
When flashing to JVQ, all went well and i got pass & reset on odin, but then on my phone, i got failed to format & got stuck on the samsung logo screen.. please heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

[Q] Having problems getting into recovery mode

I am having a very hard and frustrating time trying to get into recovery mode. Basically I installed a ROM today that was very unstable, and when I go to rom manager trying to flash a different ROM the screen just goes black any help would be greatly appreciated thankyou.

Unless u wanna flash AOSP roms (CM or MIUI) or maybe froyo roms stay away from that app. To get to recovery the easiest would be to flash a kernel with cwm backed in. Download this package http://www.mediafire.com/?tx56ypyw8wx4c8n. Open ODIN_Kernel_Flasher in 2 - Kernel folder, add Kernel.tar to PDA, uncheck auto reboot, Connect your phone in download mode to PC and hit start. Once complete pull the battery and reboot your phone in recovery mode. Wipe data (factory reset), cache and dalvik cache and then flash a rom of ur choise. In case u'd want a GB (gingerbread) rom coming from stock or froyo rom first u'll HAVE TO flash gb bootloaders before the rom. U'll find the gb bootloader flasher in the package u downloaded, check out the readme file as well.

Now something else is going on with the phone. It was fine and charging when I went to bed now the freaking thing is stuck in a boot loop =(, the odin version you told me to download will it also fix this issue? Or do I need a different one?

If u can get it into download mode ur all fine, as for which Odin, u'll find everithing ur looking for in that package I've linked. Once extracted go trough the readme file.
Edit: which rom did u come from and which one did u flash last?

I came from an obsession rom which was the unstable one, flashed to darkys rom. I still can not get it into recovery mode I will give the odin link you posted a try thanks for all of your help

[Q] Cannot find matching CF-root

Are you planning on rooting to then flash a custom rom or do you just need root access?
If you are planning on changing roms then just flash a pre rooted firmware or one that has a root solution available.

What do you want cf-root for? If you want root to you can flash a custom ROM it doesn't really matter which one you use. If you want it to run you current stock ROM with root then it is better to run the correct one. I cannot find that one either. Good luck.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

There's no cf-root for JVC. I've only found a french forum with a very tricky way to root... far easier to flash another ROM that has cf-root. But come on, let's have a little more fun... ICS!

I want to change rom. Can I just flash any rom compatible with galaxy s i9000 or do you have to have compatible kernels? I have seen tutorials where it says to flash to something specific before flashing to the final one. If it's possible can someone send me a link to a custom pre-rooted rom which I can flash straight away onto my phone?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

most of the roms come with a kernel. You can then flash other kernels but these do need to be comparable. I have team oceans 4.2 for example. This comes with its own kernel but I have installed semaphore 0.9.1 which sheet a lot of testing has been the best fit for my use. Hope that makes sense. If you have something particular inn mind let us know and we can help more

This is a stock firmware and the Odin 512.pit that I use when going back to stock and root is easily applied. It is a good idea to save these on your computer if (or when) things go wrong .

Can I just flash a rom with its custom kernel over my orange stock rom and it's kernel? They don't have to be similar in any way? Also, so I don't need root access to flash a custom rom.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

You will need root access to flash custom roms as most have to be flashed by cwm(which you will get when you root your phone)

This brings me back to my original problem, people told me to flash a rom with compatible CF-root, but to flash i need to root? So i am stuck in a little circle?
Or does this only apply to custom roms and not flashing stock roms?

You flash Cf-root with Odin. This gives you root. You then flash custom ROM through recovery on your phone. As mentioned above if you want root to flash custom ROM then you need root it does not really matter which cf-root you use. Just follow instructions in Cf-root thread then follow instructions from ROM thread you want to flash.
If you want to use stock ROM with cf-root then it needs to be compatible.

CF-Root info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
From thread:
Instructions (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
Help! I don't know which file to pick! The filenames confuse me!
First thing: don't panic! It's all rather easy, and you won't easily do something bad! I am personally attentive to use the exact same version as the ROM I am running, but it's not that important.
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.
If you are just installing CF-Root to flash a custom ROM like Darky, make sure you have ROM Manager already installed, ClockworkMod flashed, then simply install the latest CF-Root, reboot once normally, then reboot in recovery and run the Darky update.zip. In this case it does NOT need to be a near match at all!
Before you start it is a good idea to download your stock rom or another one for your phone from here. http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=-1#modelsa Then where it says region click your country.
I recommend getting everything you need before you start. So make sure you Odin, a 512 pit file & your stock rom with the PDA, Phone & CSC files. There are plenty instructions for getting back to stock if you search.
Next get the ROM you want & the kernel you want.
Now that you have everything you are ready to go.
My process is as follows.
1. Remove SD Card, some say to remove sim but I have never done this.
2. Turn on phone & turn on USB debugging.
3. Connect phone to usb & copy everything on my internal sd card onto my pc. (I have a samsung folder & create a folder with the date and put everything in there - just in case)
4. (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
5. shut down phone.
6. Follow cf-root thread instructions.
7. Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
8. Start ODIN
9. Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
10. Put your phone in download mode (power on, volume down, home button)
11. (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
12. Make sure repartition is NOT checked
13. Click the START button
14. Wait for the phone to reboot
15. Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
Now you have root & cf-root. Restart phone. Next step is generally as follows.
1. Start phone.
2. Connect phone to pc.
3. copy files you wish to flash onto root of internal sd card. in my case team icssgs 4.2 & semaphore 0.9.1
4. (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
5. restart phone into recovery.
NB. Make sure to do a backup at this point and ensure you have a copy of your efs folder somewhere!!! - if for some reason your IMEI number is corrupted you will need this
6. factory reset & clear cache
7. advanced button -> clear dalvik cache.
8. back & choose install zip from sd card
9. choose zip from sd card.
10 .select the zip file (in my case team icssgs 4.2)
11. Choose yes- install... zip name
12. repeat steps 8-11 and select semaphore kernel.
13. factory reset & clear cache
14. advanced button -> clear dalvik cache.
15. reboot phone. Reboot can sometime take a while. sometimes you may need to do this twice.
Semaphore: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468795
Team ICSSGS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
If no luck then reinstall stock rom using odin making sure to use all three files & pit file with repartition checked.
Please note I am still fairly new at this so it may not be perfect & you should always rather follow instructions from the thread of the ROM you wish to flash
Hopefully that's it. Don't think I left anything out.

Click to expand...

Ok, let's clear things up a little. Every rom has its own kernel, let's say the default kernel of that ROM. There are stock Roms, which are those official of Samsung. Those come with its own kernel, but not rooted.
Now: there are some stock roms, of which some guys have managed to modify its kernel just to be able to have root access, and to have a modified version of the recovery: ClockWorkMod recovery.
There are other kernels, though. Kernels that people develope to improve those default kernels that come with stock kernels. But improve performance comes with (perhaps) less stability (actually that's not completely true, as cooked kernels also improve stability, and are in general far better than stock ones). What is true is that not every cooked kernel works with every rom, you have to make sure it works with what you want.
You definitely don't need to have root access to flash, but you do in order to make those highly important security backups! You can have root without flashing kernel.
Now, what are those roms that flash over other roms...? Generally cooked roms are stock roms modified to improve them. But they still use a lot of the stock roms system, that's why cooked roms have to be flash only over that rom they are based on. You still don't need to be root to flash those roms, but generally you do need ClockWorkMod recovery, that's why you need to flash cf-root kernel prior flashing a cooked rom. Or perhaps the cooked rom do not come with a modified/rooted kernel and you still needs to change the kernel (but usually they already come with a rooted kernel)
Hope that helps you even a little to know what do you want to do!

Thanks for the help everyone. I am going to flash an unbranded stock rom to get out of this orange rom. Would this tutorial work to debrand my phone?

Help newbie with installing new ROM

Hi, I'm stuck with installing new rom, so I hope, that you'll help me.
There are steps what I've done:
- followed THIS topic and ROOT the device with ODIN and CF-Root 4.4 file.
- OKAY, I'm rooted, so let's flash the new ROM
- entered in Clockworkmod Recovery and format EVERYTHING ( /data, /system, /cache, /sdcard etc.... just everything) for clear system
- next I load package with ROM and than INSTALLL
and here is the most important part
- when installed ROM gets something like bootloop but with restart - ROM is loading and after about 40 sec its RESTART
- and the same thing over and over again - restart ->loading->restart.... System never start up correctly to the end
- then when I saw that it does not work, I tried go into the CWM, but there was no CWM (!!!) - it was erased (by installing new ROM maybe???)
- so I must flash (old and stock) ROM via ODIN and again root device with CF-Root (with CWM) - that was only functional rom, what I was able to run, and again did this procedure
I tried this way, perhaps with millions of different ROM and EVERY was stucked (restart) while loading.
I think there are some non-deleted files in device, which should be erased (and which cannot be erased by CWM) for clear start of new installed ROM, what do you think?
Would someone please help me? I don't want old Gingerbread with Kies
Thanks for every responce!

please read all my topic - i flash this kernel only for clockworkmod recovery
through CWM I can flash any other rom
through ODIN only stock - cant find any ICS or JB rom which I can flash via ODIN (.tar file)

What variant of i9000 do you have? Are you sure that the rom you are trying to flash is made exactly for your variant?
EDIT: Try Darky ROM, they have an ODIN flashable version called "Resurrection Edition" or something.

I mean give me the link for the Rom you are using not kernel

Ok so you can flash Darky Rom Resurrection Edition through ODIN with no problem. Its GingerBread if i remember correctly, but it should give you a recovery mode and fully operating phone. From this point you can flash whatever you want.

....And there is one more important thing:
When I have a stock kernel and stock rom from Samsung, cant get into recovery mode - VOLUME UP and POWER non functional. Only when I type: "adb reboot recovery" in terminal.
Just after when I flash a new pre-rooted kernel with CWM, VOLUPE UP and POWER is now functional
k4Z3666: OK, I try and give you an echo I think, when I format everything in CWM, there will be no sign of the earlier system and ALL WILL BE CLEAR

ok, flashing ICS, may need to be done twice, as first flash may bootloop, IF you want to return to stock to get out of this mess, since you are not sure as to where you are now, due to flashing many roms, use any kit from My Android Collections, link below to get you to a booting ROM, than add a kernel with CWM (use EZbaze package with kernels)

that's helped me too thank you
