[Q] Changing custom ROM to another - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another? Is it different? How about lagfixes? Do i need to disable something? Step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first
The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch

Nice to see some other fin's
You are on 2.2 stock rom right?
(You may skip this if you've already done)
First, root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it
(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)
(Start here)
Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)
Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
After flashing it, (I suggest you to use the Cyanogenmod ROM, its much better than MIUI IMO) just see this guide and download Cyanogenmod and flash it trough CWM

[Q] rogers SGH-I896: Cant get into rom recovery mode for ics update

Im trying to do an ics update on my rogers captivate... I have the files i need to get it done but i just cant get it into the rom recovery mode. I know a little about this stuff but not a whole lot (learning as i go along!). I have Recovery 3e on it right now and by the sounds of it, this is not going to work to get it into rom recovery mode... so i downloaded the rom explorer and got a file that was supposed to replace 3e with 2e or something of that matter so i can get it in the right recovery mode to upload ics onto my phone. I moved the file to system/bin and renamed the old recovery file recovery.bak i than moved the other recovery file to the same place and changed the permissions! i rebooted my phone and still nothing! Any help would be greatly apreciatted... and dumb it down a bit so i can understand!

Simple way: Download the Heimdall one click in my signature. Backup the stuff on your phone. Go into download mode. Run the one-click. Install the drivers that come with it (it will tell you how). Click the big "flash" button. You will have CWM when it's done, and can flash from there.
^Or you could just flash a kernel with CWM build into it.
The ideal platform for flashing an ICS Rom has to be CWM + Root + Stock GB ROM ( kk4 leak ).
If you got some patience, do it in order.
1. Root your phone.
2. Install CWM recovery.
3. Optional :Flash any GB Rom ( Preferably any one of those captivate leaked roms) using CWM.
4. Download ICS ROM (teamhacksung seems to be stable) and Flash TWICE through CWM
Enjoy
"Thanks" , If I helped you

Yes . Root is technically a Linux kernel super user privilege

so then you know that it doesnt matter if you have root or not when you are in CWM, since you arent in an OS....?
therefore, ROOTING is not necessary to flash a new rom..
I also am on rogers and what I did was to use an heimdall 1-click package that flashed CWM for me then I used CWM to flash an ICS build.

[Experimental] Stock Recovery For Gingerbread 2.3.6

Introduction
Many new users flash Clockwork Mod recovery on thier stock Gingerbread 2.3 roms and then suddenly they realize that they need to root their phone and want to root it. But, when they give it a try they find that they need to have stock recovery to root the device.
And, you shall then need to go through the tedious process of flashing stock firmware just to get back to stock recovery. You will lose all your settings, data, configuration and there are many other drawbacks. But, no more of flashing to stock rom from now on.
With this flashable tar file for stock recovery, you can now be able to revert (or go back) to stock recovery even if you flash CWM recovery with the necessity or going through flashing the whole firmware.
Use it at your own risk!!!
Experimental.... Recommended Testers : Users with stock Gingerbread DDKQ7 firmware

Pass : [B]yagyagaire[/B]
See, next post for instructions on installing or using it.
Instructions on Flashing Stock Recovery!
So, let's begin.
Download Odin Multidownloader v4.38 for GTS5570, Tass_v1.ops and stock GB Recovery if you do not have them already. You can download them from here.
Run Odin Multi downloader v4.38 and select the Tass_v1.ops by clicking OPS button.
Select One Package Option and Click One Package button and select the stock recovery file name (stock-recovery-gt-s5570-yagya.tar.md5) file you downloaded.
Leave other settings to default (i.e. don’t change any other options/settings)
When you are done reboot your phone in download mode (Press Volume Down + Home + Power button to go to download mode)
Connect your phone in download mode to your computer via USB Cable.
When Odin detects your phone (If you see a com port number written in yellow background at the top left, then your phone is detected. View image.), click Start button.
Wait till Odin finishes the job (approx. 3-5 minutes) and when it reports ‘PASS’, you can disconnect your phone.
That's all. You have flashed back to stock recovery without having to flash a whole new firmware on your device.
Now, reboot to recovery mode (press Home + Power button) and see if your recovery changed to stock or not. Don't forget to share the result with us at the post below.

This is only for those who want it so, you can stay back if you don't need it. I want no spam in this thread.
AS you can read here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/12/rooting-samsung-galaxy-pop-with.html those who doesn't want to install custom rom need stock recovery to root their device since the rooting scripts written till now, only work with stock one.
So, those who flashed CWM recovery but now wants to return to stock recovery since they are not going to flash any custom rom will use this to return to stock GB recovery.

Sorry . No offence dude.
I didn't mean to be rude. I was just a little off that time.
I was just saying that there would be very little or negligible percentage of people that would go back to stock recovery.
And also if they have flashed GB they would themselves get stock recovery. And I think no CM or custom rom user would prefer stock recovery.
I guess it would be really very helpful in case if phone has any hardware problem and in warranty, so may be flashing stock recovery and then sending it back would help.
It is helpful.

Well not a problem.
No read carefully what you have written and what I am telling below. Yes, they will get stock recovery after flashing GB. But, the aim/focus here is to get stock recovery with out flashing GB firmware.
If you can get it, then all right. Otherwise, I would suggest us to stop this and leave it here only.
I wanted to share this since I got few request for this, and it's here now and those who want can use and those who doesn't can simply ignore it.
there is a typo in the first post.
I dont understand, if u want to reduce the tediousness then just make a flashable zip of the recovery. Why odin? They are using a custom recovery after all.
Hold it. There a ppl using cwm on stock roms!! What are they using it for without rfs support?

Well, I understand flashing it in CWM is a good idea. So, I will update provide an zip soon.
There's no need to hold it . LOL! New users are not learned like you are, so they flash it. Later they want to revert back but find that they will need to flash whole rom , that will erase all data and apps. But, with this they can only change the recovery to stock.

Your solution is to reflash stock rom. Then you must be rooted in order to have cwm ... :angel:

He's right flash the stock.
But I dont think we need to root the phone to use cwm, you can install it even you arent rooted. But fyi cwm cant be used to root the phone, it must use the stock.

Yeah, possible and good solution would be to flash stock ROM via Odin. And then if you need root, follow StoneBoyTony's method for rooting. (You can find the thread here)
Another option if you like is, after flashing stock ROM, flash CWM recovery and install any Custom ROM like CM7 or MIUI or Emanon etc. Custom ROMs comes pre-rooted, so don't have to worry about root. (But remember, CWM recovery is needed for installing custom ROMs)

True. For using CWM recovery, the phone needn't have to be rooted.

thx guys for the tips !
just a few questions
1) do i again need an *.ops file while flashing back stock rom thru odin?
2) if i do need the *.ops file can i use the same or does it need to be a different one?
3) what filetype (zip or img) to use for the stock rom and where to put in odin (boot or phone)?
download 1 package firmware put it in the one package section select TASS.ops file .ops file must be tass. connect your phone and flash
a little bit troubleshooting:-
you got stuck at Samsung logo while booting in recovery means you didn't use a proper cwm package or flashing method please check the package
can anyone tell me why cwm cannot be used to root device, it can root device with 100% success and the package also don't need to be signed because of using cwm

You can change it to English, its easy if you followed the icons. I forgot to say it before to have a look at the icons for changing language.
Anyways Click Application icon (Bottom rightmost icon) > Settings (blue Gear-like icon) > Locale & Language (White colored A icon) > Select English from the list.
And, if you plan to get a different "Custom" ROM, make sure you install CWM recovery before. (Search in Development section for CWM recovery flashable via Odin)

[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

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.

Thanks sin007, that is invaluable advice. Will do just that. thanks 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)?
Thankss

Oops sorry, didn't bother pressing the reboot button, typical noob error. Thanks OT.
I have a problem though, I just discovered my phone's imei number has changed after I flashed cyanogenMOD 9.1. How is this possible and how do I get back my original imei number?. Thanks.

If you want fast and stable custom rom, then try this: New build of CM10.2 in [Team Canjica] CyanogenMod 10.2 thread.

The phone is too old to stay many developers (not much left) :crying:
Here is CWM: update.zip
If you need kernel, then after flash this: [Kernel][3.0.101] MK kernel r6
I think these files are only going on I9070 phone. I'm not sure that will be fine on i9070p.
If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

Oh yeah great suggestion
Tomorrow i prepare ODIN and flash the latest official rom. After that from stock recovery i thinks i can flash the root.zip for root access....... using flashify for installing recovery and after that finally installed this 10.2 and after that install the kernel here.
I thinks it's not the best solution...... but it's but it's better than nothing I need only to use this i9070 only for emergency or backup smartphone

This is the right order for me after Odin;
in recovery: wipe, flash update.zip, flash mkkernel zip, flash root.zip and then custom rom + gapps.
I don't flash kernel on custom rom. You know that you need it or not. I think that's unnecessary. I would rather flashing kernel before flashing custom rom.
