Going back to stock JL2

I flashed my Bell i9000m with the Speedmod rom, and it is running great. However is it possible to revert back to the stock kernel for upgrades via Kies?
Another stupid question, can Darky's rom be flashed via Odin on top of Speedmod?

You can flash the stock JL2 kernel on top of the speed mod yes. If you want to keep the speedmod and are only interested in being able to upgrade, you could use the kies registry hack and trick kies into thinking your phone is at an older model, this includes the kernel, however i'm not sure what will happen because some of these roms only have some of the data needed in the flash, example is that the stock 2.1 has a sddata folder and non of the roms after that have that folder.....
Darky's rom is meant to be flashed with clock work recovery, so if you want to flash it just follow his instructions. it comes in a zip file so it can only be flashed via clockwork. Do not unzip because it's signed

Great, thank you. Gonna flash to Darky's rom after creating a nanodroid backup

[Q] JVB+Bootloaders -> JS8 Rom

Hi there,
I've got a quick question about the compatibility of JVB bootloaders, with Froyo roms.
I've flashed stock JVB+bootloaders, flashed Chainfire's kernel, then installed Faryaab's F1 rom.
However, i'm considering flashing back to Darky's JS8 rom.
Which steps do i need to take?
Something like the following, perhaps:
First put Darky's rom on my internal SD card
Flash Hardcore's Froyo kernel through ODIN
Don't let the phone reboot, pull battery
Enter recovery, flash Darky's rom?
Am i missing a few steps, perhaps?
Thanks in advance.

I would also appreciate it if some one could answer OP's question. I'm not finding GB as stable as I hoped.

The new bootloaders are compatible with froyo and even eclair thus you dont have to flash the old ones. nevertheless i would recommend to do a clean install which means you should flash any stock froyo Firmware with repartition first and then flash any Kernel with cwm in order to flash the rom you want

Cheers, that's the answer i was hoping for .
Considering the modem, my guess is that it shouldn't be an issue to leave the JVK modem intact?

no it shouldnt. but if you flash a custom rom afterwards it will be changed anyway

JVK is a good modem .

You can find the stock rom from samfirmware.com
While flashing if you are using a single file then repartition should be unticked, if you are using multiple file pda,pit etc then you have to tick repartition
You are on gingerbread.
In my experience best custom rom is Darky's . you can try 10.2RE then upgrade with 10.2.1

you can roll back to stock rom at any time. for getting stock rom you can visit samfirmware.com
Once you flash the Darky its included the kernel. If you want to change the kernel you can change it later.

[Q] I9000m troubles...

Hello there,
I've been playing with my i9000m for the last 12 hours (...) and I seem to have hit a roadblock. I simply cannot find a kernel that will run on my phone with 2e/ clockworkmod recovery AT ALL and it's driving me a bit nuts. I'd love for someone to point me in the right direction, preferably to an Odin flashable (that's pretty much all I'm comfortable with) 2e/ clockworkmod recovery kernel that will actually get past the boot screen on an i9000m. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, all.
Oh, and if I should be using something other than Odin, please inform me. And if my thinking is all backwards, smack me and gimme some splainin, if you'd kindly. Thanks again.

what version of android / rom are you using? It will make a difference.
I'm using the stock gingerbread 2.3.3 UGKG3 rom designed for the i9000m. AFAIK, there is no custom kernel that will work with this rom - only the rooted stock kernel with no CWM.
If you want to use a custom kernel that has CWM features, I think you need to install either a stock i9000 rom like XXJVT, or you have to go with a custom rom entirely.

what exactly are you trying to do? If you want the latest stock rom with root. Flash JVT pda, with KG3 modem and CSC and 512 pit, in odin then flash latest semaphore or chainfire kernal to root. Put file in pda and flash in odin. There are alot of good tutorial on here.

Root Kernal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908

I've just got UGJL2 on it atm, since that's the only thing i can get to actually run. I'll give XXJVT a shot. But ultimately all I want to be able to do is try some of the custom roms (cyanogen, miui, apply some fancy lock screens through update.zip) through the use of ROM manager... which I do need CWM for. I do like the stock gingerbread rom, I just want to customize it a bit.

cyanogen and miui are completely seperate roms, they are not based on samsung what so ever. You should probably just stick to stock jvt for now. (until you get your feet wet.) There are alot of great custom roms you can run on stock jvt. You just need to get that up and running first. Follow the instructions in the links I gave you. I live in Canada too, and run JVT pda on my phone, with KG3 modem and csc, works perfect, install semaphore kernal after, its the file linked Semaphore_Kernal_JVT_1.8.2.tar. Once your rolling you can install zips through cwm. Just remember to keep your baseband version, your modem KG3 or you will notice your cell coverage sucks. With KG3 its full bars. The firmware in the first link I gave you contains bootloaders so you can flash straight from there. Remember to use the 512 pit file. Since this is the first time your flashing gingerbread.

Alrighty, I see how it all peices together now. I've got the UGKG3 modem and CSC installed alongside the xxjvt PDA with Semaphore JVT over it. Runs really nicely too, Thanks for all the help guys. I'll play with this for a while, hopefully it'll continue to run nicely I'll go gander around at the other roms now that I actually know what i'm looking at! I like this one though, thanks for the reccomendation. And I do indeed have my CWM installed, so i can go gallavanting now
Thanks guys!

Happy rom hunting

Which "JVT" ROM did you guys install?
XFJVA/XXJVT/OXFJV1/Sbl or XXJVT/XXJVT/OXAJVT/Sbl (or does it matter between these two?)

Samsung Galaxy S i9000m bricked after installing wrong Clockwork Mod!

Alright, so this is my first time posting as I can usually find my questions in another thread... Haven't been able to find this one however.
So I rooted my phone earlier today and have been trying to get the Clockwork Recover Mod on it. I followed a tutorial and made a bad mistake... It seems I downloaded a CF-root made for the i9000 as opposed to the i9000m. Now when my phone tries to boot, it cycles between displaying the start-up screen for each, but it never boots. I can still access download mode, which I understand means I can still change it... But what am I supposed to do?
Further info: Running Android 2.3.3 on Bell.
Thanks!!!

Ditch the i9000m stock rom (which is UGKG3 2.3.3, the one you're probably using) and flash JVT (2.3.5) stock rom, then flash CF-root for JVT. The Bell i9000m will run on the International i9000 firmware and this should get you out of the bootloop.

I hate to sound super uninformed, but how should I go about doing that? Where do I get the stock rom for 2.3.5?
Thanks so much for the help though, I might just need a few extra steps to help get me there...
EDIT:
Would I just use this?

Follow the instructions on here. Use the JVT 2.3.5 PDA, KG3 modem, and csc...its the canadian one. And you might as well repartion with 512 pit. All this can be downloaded on the link above. After you do all that you will have the latest gingerbread firmware. Now you can root with a JVT kernal like semaphore or CF root. There are also a bunch of custom roms you can use on JVT not much if anything for I9000m . The only thing you need from I9000M is the modem and csc....otherwise your cell coverage will suck. I assume you already have odin, if not its available on the above link aswell.

good advice. One other idea, since CF root tripped you up the first time, reduce your anxiety level and root using Hardcore's kernel for JVT or something similar -- one that is robust and also has good step by step instructions.

Question on which files to pull from the site for kernels, modem and csc files...

I have a Bell Samsung Galaxy S I9000M also and am trying to install the Clockworkmod 2.5 hardcore kernel also and got into this boot loop...fortunately, I had the kg3root.tar with the kernel in it to re-flash and get operational again.
For us newbies, perhaps you could direct us to the specific set of files that we need to flash (with links to them) and the instructions to apply them.
I think to have a rooted gingerbread with clockworkmod recovery functional...at this point the ICS update should be able to be done using the instructions on the web. (hopefully)
thx.
