Ok, so I was updating my phone to froyo according to these instructions by Virnik0 (meh, it seems I can't use links in my posts), but the name of the topic is "[HOWTO] manually flash Samsung Galaxy S with JPM firmware ** WORKS **" And you can find it from these forums.
Everything went fine. I successfully updated my phone to froyo, but I didn't root my phone or install lagfix even though the person gives instructions on how to do so, instead I just jumped into this part. This is a quote from the instructions.
GUI Medthod:
Download Android Mate from the Market
- Open the Android Mate, and switch to File Explorer bookmark at the top
- navigate to the /efs folder
- by ticking, select nv_data.bin, and from the bottom menu, choose copy.
- navigate to your sdcard directory (/sdcard for internal SD, or /sdcard/external_sd for external SD, does not matter)
- press Paste from the bottom menu.
- Connect you're SGS to the usb and download ''nv_data.bin'' to your computer
- Open ''nv_data.bin'' with notepad or wordpad and search for ''KOR'' change this to the product code matching your country
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now after I have downloaded "Android Mate" and navigated to the /efs folder to my surprise I find that it's empty and doesn't have such file named "n_data.bin" or any other files for that matter.
What does this mean and how do I get such files there?
After searching forums I found out that you should take backup from those files in /efs, but that was not mentioned in the instructions I was following
Edit: This is what I did before I jumped into the part I have quoted above.
1] Download both I9000XXJPK and I9000XXJPM firmwares
2] Download Odin 1.3
3] Download 803 pit file
4] Startup Odin.
5] Extract I9000XXJPK and I9000XXJPM tar files which you have downloaded to separate folders.
6] Then in Odin: (Now we will flash JPK firmware)
a) Click PIT Button, select s1_odin_20100803.pit file
b) Click PDA Button, select I9000XXJPK-REV03-PDA-low-CL584433.tar.md5 file
c) Click PHONE Button, select MODEM_I9000XXJPK.tar.md5 file
d) Click CSC Button, select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPK.tar.md5
e) Tick Re-Partition Button
f) Power off your phone and make sure you have SIM card out, SD card out.
g) Press and hold 3-button combo, to boot your phone in Download mode (Volume down, Menu, Power)
h) Once in Download mode, connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
i) In odin, ID:COM field shall change color to yellow, and in Message window, you will see message "Added"
j) Now press Start button.
k) Go and take cigarette, coffee, etc. This will take up to 15 minutes.
7] After successfull flash, phone will reboot itself, and Odin will write Success message. First boot can take another 10 minutes, so be patient during stare at glowing S logo on the screen.
8] If phone stays in text console (Recovery Mode) after reboot, writing (with red), that it is having problem with internal SD Card, do not panic, it will take another minute:
a) Just use Volume Down/Up to up or down movement and selection.
b) Select "Wipe cache partition" and press Home
c) Select "Format internal sd card" and press Home
d) Select "Wipe data / Factory reset" and press Home
e) Select "Reboot" and press Home
9] Get back to point 7]
10] Power off your phone again, press button combo for Download mode again.
11] Close Odin, start it again. It shall detect ID:COM port again.
12] Now press PDA, choose JPM_JPM_U_JPM.tar file (finally, JPM firmware).
13] Make sure Re-partition tick box is unticked.
14] Press Start
15] After reboot, you will have newest Froyo firmware available.

I want to install Darky (DarkyROM v10.2) - Will this work?
It will be much appreciated if someone can point me to the right direction because all the guide that I came a cross are saying if I am coming from ECLAIR and Froyo. and none is stating from the spec I have got.
any suggestions is much appreciated
Quick Step by Step guide:
1- You have to look if you have enabled the 3-combo button and also I think it's good to do a EFS backup and save it in your computer.
2- Download Darky 10.2 Resurrection Edition and follow the guide to install it through Odin ( enter download mode, conect USB, check repartition, select pit file, PDA... Etc)
That has to work.
Ok, here you go:
1. Download stock JVQ firmware (http://hotfile.com/dl/122481899/943a689/I9000XXJVQ.rar.html) and unrar it.
2. Download some kernel that supports CWM. Like speedmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519) Follow the link and bottom of the first post, there is links, choose one of those.
3. Download Odin 1.3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?zgbta2co4uyct2z) There is also 1.8 but 1.3 works well too.
4. Download Darky's v10.2 (http://www.multiupload.com/NFEDVYNHZX)
5. Open Odin, its .exe inside the .zip you downloaded.
6. Check you have only auto reboot and f.reset are ticked.
7. go to PDA-section: choose PDA file from the JVQ pack you downloaded. Its named CODE there. Then click the MODEM button and choose modem from JVQ pack you downloaded. Its named MODEM there. Then click CSC and choose CSC file from JVQ pack.
8. Put your phone into download mode: shut it down. Then click volume down, physical meny button and power button at the same time. It should show yellow and black screen with Android mascot digging hole.
9. Plug your phone in to PC. In Odin, you should see one of the little boxes turns into yellow. (if not make sure you have latest drivers installed, download KIES if you want them quite easily)
10. When the box is yello, click "start" button in Odin.
11. When it says "PASS" green box should appear and the phone restarts itself. Unplug your phone and wait till it reboots.
12. When it has rebooted shut it down again and put it into download mode again. Do NOT plug it in yet to PC.
13. Press "Reset" on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select speedmodkernel that you downloaded. You don't unrar it. Check that only f.reset and autoreboot are ticked. Then click "Start". It takes few seconds and "PASS" text appears with green box.
14. Wait till you phone reboots. Put Darky's ROM into you internal SD card's root. DON'T unrar it! Just copy it straight to you intSD card.
15. Shut down your phone. put it to recovery mode by pressing Volume up, physical menu button and power button until Samsung galaxy S thing pops up. Release keys and wait.
16. Now you have CWM in front of your nose. use volume down and volume up buttons to navigate in CWM. Go to "select zip from sd card". Click it with power button. Then choose Darky....zip there and click Yes when next menu appears. Texts starts to scroll and when its ready, click "reboot system now". It might do it by its own. i don't remember..
17. It takes some time till phone is ready and reboots.
18. Enjoy
ATTENTION! MAKE SURE YOU PACK UP EVERYTHING YOU NEED. DO ALSO NANDROID BACKUP IN CWM BY CLICKING "backup/restore" and there click "back up ALL" DO that BEFORE you install Darky things!
Thank you for the quick replies - much appreciated - I still have few things to confirm with you guys.
1. Download stock JVQ firmware (http://hotfile.com/dl/122481899/943a689/I9000XXJVQ.rar.html) and unrar it.
### Does this one has to be the JVQ? when I look at Samfirmware the JVQ is for Europe. I am in Australia - will this be a problem?
2. Download some kernel that supports CWM. Like speedmod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519) Follow the link and bottom of the first post, there is links, choose one of those.
### I have looked at the bottom link and there are 3 options to download. which one should I download? is it this ??: File Type: tar speedmod-kernel-k15i-t10.tar - [Click for QR Code] (7.21 MB, 3436 views)
### How do I install the Kernel?
I am very sorry if this is such very basic questions but I have tried to read it but I just can not get my head around it.
any help is much appreciated.
Regards
1 It isn't a problem
2 Yes is that. You can flash it via sgs kernel flasher (download it from the market) or via odin. You must put it in pda and flash without pit and repartition

Thanks again.
I am so very close here - when I try to download the JVQ - my download manager is saying file does not exists. I go to samfirmware and it says the same. Can I use any other firmware ? Can I use my current firmware?
If I can not use my current firmware, which are the other firmware I can download and use.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME GUYS - MUCH APPRECIATED
Are you using the browser of your phone?

Just tried again and now downloading - very strange
so, correct me if I am wrong - I will need to download : tar speedmod-kernel-k15i-t10.tar and install it using apps from the market?
then I am ready to follow the full instruction to get darky on to the phone .
Thanks
Yes you are right!

Hi Guys, I got to this stage :
16. Now you have CWM in front of your nose. use volume down and volume up buttons to navigate in CWM. Go to "select zip from sd card". Click it with power button. Then choose Darky....zip there and click Yes when next menu appears. Texts starts to scroll and when its ready, click "reboot system now". It might do it by its own. i don't remember..
### I can not find the the ZIP file of Darky - all I see was the folders which was previously in my SD card.
I already put the ZIP darky into the root of my SD but still can not see it.
When I check the the version:
Build number is Gingerbread XWJVN - Is this correct?
Kernel is 2.6.35.7 [email protected]
firmware version 2.3.3
Please help
Thanks guys
You must go in the folder of the zip file of darky rom. If it is in the ext sdcard choose sd-ext.
Strange you must be on xxjvq. Flash it again via odin

I have just flashed it again and now showing JVQ.
but when I try to browse the CD (sorry not CD - SD card) it seems like it is not there.
Let me try again.
### Have tried again but still can not see the darky .zip I need . - very strange
Thank again for your time and suggestions
Cd?
Darky doesnt support JVR yet.
and about kernel:
13. Press "Reset" on Odin. Then click the PDA button and select speedmodkernel that you downloaded. You don't unrar it. Check that only f.reset and autoreboot are ticked. Then click "Start". It takes few seconds and "PASS" text appears with green box.
Already told how to flash it
That download problem is strange... Try later again. I can't help with that..
p.s. Don't worry your questions, its good you ask
sorry, i was late
so you have copied darky to your intSD card? can you see it if you plug your phone to PC.
You should be able to choose it from CWM.. how about is there something like "install zip from sd card" ?

Yes, there is "Install zip fro SD card but when I execute it, it came up with unable to read of somekind....
Now I have download the Darky rom tool form the market. with this tool I can see the darky.zip file I put in my Sd card. but when I try to flash it it came up with :
runtime error:
location (389,0) file//android_asset/Resources/functions.js
Message:
wrapped java.io.IOException: error running exec() command [Su] working directory: null Environment:null(file//android_asset/Resources/functions.js#389
and the flash does not happen. just stop.
Hmmm.... I wonder if I need to clear cache and factory reset it?
Do I need to install super user (busybox*su)?
Hmm.. it might be good idea. Do a factory reset and clear cache and davlik cache. Do it from CWM.
Then put Darky again to your intSD card and try again

Also, if it's not much of a bother, can you try the LG Flash Package as well?
Use V20B_00.kdz and see if it's rootable?
no no bother at all the only problem is lol i don't know what that is i already have it downloaded on my desktop. maybe if you could explain what that is for sure i would do it
Basically it's all the files needed to flash the phone.
There's a step by step guide in the first post. I feel like I'm missing something though as another user got an error with the internet connection...
It you get an error, you don't put your phone in danger. It just won't flash anything.
wait what is it supposed to be flashing just curious? a rom? or what?
Hi,
Sorry, I know this has been covered loads before but im still a little confused on the method.
Im running a great custom rom on my SGA called MindCR. I would like to be able to flash an updated custom kernel.
Im attempting to flash Rafael.Baugis. E3 Stable.
Code:
How to install Kernel with E3 Recovery (Stock):
shutdown the phone
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-XXX-boot.img.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
hold the keys Vol-Up + Home + Power per 6 seconds
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( Select_you_rom_file.zip )
wait the end of process
select the option "apply update from sdcard"
select the file ( xxxxxxxxxxxx-modules.zip )
wait the end of process and reboot
Do I download stock-kernel.tar ? and from the stock recovery, apply update from sdcard, choose stock-kernel?
Do I need to wipe cache afterwards?
Sorry this is so easy for most, but to me those instructions are confusing!
many thanks for your help xda
(ps,. i would of posted this in the dev section but i don't have enough posts)
The solution is in your post itself..
From Rafaels Skydrivd download the two files.. And flash exactly as given in his post

- on the pc launch Odin, connect the phone with the usb cable, it should lite up a COM-x port if drivers are installed (Rafael provides those too)
- in Odin, press the PIT button, select the cooperve_0623.pit file, press the PDA button, select the 2012***E3-PDA-boot.tar file, uncheck Re-Partition. Start!
B: .zip files are to be flashed in recovery mode, no need for PC
- move the zip file to the sd card
- go to recovery mode: keep the [+] and [Home] pressed while u power on for around 8seconds, a recovery menu will pop out soon after. if it reboots you've kept the 3 buttons pressed too much time, try again.
- select browse for zip file. choose 2012***E3-boot.zip. flash it. choose 2012***E3-modules.zip. flash it. Reboot. No need to wipe anything.
Everything should be clear from Rafael's kernel post, link to files is <<< Custom Kernel and Modules >>> and you can navigate outside the default skydrive folder to find stuff like windows driver and etc.
you can navigate there upper so you will find also driver files etc.

hello I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 Orange firmware version 2.2.1 and kernel version 2.6.32.9 root @ DELL104 version number # 1 FROYO.BVJS4 I want it to version 2.3.6 and after version 10 cynogenMod .
the question that I must étépe by step.
thank you for your assistance.
Excuse my English I used google translate
Morning,
So. Breaking this up into three stages.
Installing 2.3.6
1.) From Sammobile.com, download a 2.3.6 firmware of any region. Many people use XXJW4 (UK). Also download Odin unless you already have it.
2.) Place this firmware somewhere in your computer. Start up Odin.
3.) Turn your phone off. Once it has shut down, hold down the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons. You should see a "Downloading!" with a yellow android. This is download mode.
4.) Connect the phone to the computer using a USB. On Odin, one of the boxes should turn yellow saying "ID:COM".
5.) Click on PDA, then find the firmware you downloaded. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS.
6.) Wait for it to start flashing.
Once you have 2.3.6, you need to root it...
1.) From the I9000 development forums there is a thread called "CF-Root". Search until you find the file with a JW4 in the name. (Will post links later)
Or you can just google "How to root 2.3.6 XXJW4" and it will take you there.
2.) Oece you have downloaded the zip file, unzip it. You should find a .tar file inside.
3.) Start up Odin and get into download mode. Connect the phone by USB.
4.) Just like before, click on PDA, find the CF-Root .tar, click on it. Again, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
5.) Wait for it to flash in. Your phone is now rooted
After that comes installing CyanogenMod...
1.) Backup whatever data you want (SMS, contacts, etc)
2.) From these development forums download BOTH CM9 and CM10. Also download JB gapps (Google Apps, links will be posted later). There is a good reason for this. Put all of these files on your phone, in your internal storage (not a microsd).
3.) This time, turn the phone off and hold down Volume Up, Home and Power buttons. You'll see your recovery mode.
4.) Using the volume buttons to move up and down, scroll down until you see "Wipe data". Select yes. This will erase everything! Do the same for "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" under "Advanced Settings".
5.) Once they have all finished, select "Install zip from sdcard". Scroll until you see the CM9 zip. Install this first.
6.) It might start installing but then stop halfway, and then your phone will bootloop. DON'T PANIC. Your phone hasn't been bricked Just take the battery out, put it back in and boot into recovery mode lke before again. You'll see recovery has changed.
7.) Go to 'install zip from sdcard' again. Find the CM9 zip and install that AGAIN. Select Yes. Wait for it to finish.
8.) Once it has finished, let it boot for the first time. Once it gets to the homescreen, turn the phone off.
9.) Put it back in recovery... Again. Go 'install zip from sdcard'. Scroll down and this time install the CM10 zip. Select Yes and wait for it to finish.
10.) Once it has finished, select 'install zip from sdcard' again and this time find your JB Gapps zip. Wait for that to flash in.
Done! you've upgraded to 2.3.6, rooted and installed CM10.
