Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help me.
I attempted to flash my ROM with Darkys, but my Galaxy S didn't play ball and stopped booting.
So I followed the usual steps to get it back via odin.
Procedure:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (.PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Check the "Re-Partition" checkbox.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.When the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.
Now, It worked yesterday and all was good, but as you know Eclair is powerfully S*%t So I tried reflashing darkys from the Clockworldmod, and this also killed the phone preventing it from booting.
After this I could not access recovery mode.. only Download mode.
Rinse and repeat the steps above... Sadly now once my phone goes to reboot after reflash in Odin, it freezes on the white rotating circles.. and doesn't progress. as mentioned above, I can only get into Download mode.
My Galaxy is a GT-i9000 (Australian Optus).
Can someone please help?? I've looked around but can't find a fix.
If you can help me out that would be Awesome..
Since you are using eclair, I would suggest first upgrading to a stock froyo (there is a froyo upgrade guide in general) and if that works try darkyys rom.

Flashed xx rom twice and it broke your phone . Lesson learnt ???.
Go to Rom Kitchen and download a rom to your build and flash .

First you may need to flash a clean setup

I was on Darkys 10.1 EE
I made sure voodoolagfix is off. I reset the phone to factory.
I wanted to move to the latest MIUI so I begun by flashing to EZrom by following these instructions.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/
I download all files proplery (using flashget)
selected the files using instructions.
Hit start, and nothing happening. Been like this for 15 min.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Should I turn of teh phone and try again or, while I am in download more try reflash 10.1 so as to not brick the phone?
EDIT: FFS phone is bricked. It is displaying the Phone ! Computer logo
sigh..now what?
Remove and reinsert your battery after some time. Don't turn your phone on. Directly use the 3 button combo to enter download mode. Connect USB cable. Flash new firmware using ODIN. Avoid EZOdin.
Did that, GOt back to Darkys again.
Do how do I flash a froyo 2.2 Base without EzOdin
I meant avoid EZOdin, use regular ODIN. On the safe side, use the newer ODIN3 1.82 or the trusty old ODIN3 1.31
Hey guys am new to dis forum and I wanna root my sgs i9000
its an indian version phone n here r d details
PDA - i9000ddjvb
Phone - i9000ddjv7
Csc - i9000ddjvb
Firmware version - 2.3.6
Baseband version - i9000ddjv7
Kernal version - [email protected]#2
Built num - gingerbread.ddjvb
Pls help me n pls provide me step by step instructions as am an begginer n wanna root my handset .. pls help me out guys
Thanks.
afaik there's no rooted kernel for this rom.
you can try that, anyway.
1 - google for "odin" and download it on your pc. or take this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464775
2 - similarly, install samsung kies (so you have samsung drivers)
3 - download semaphore_2.7.4_sc.tar kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
4 - download original kernel from ramad's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
4 - turn off your phone, that press power+volume_down+home until you enter download mode (yellow pic on screen)
5 - run odin.exe (as administrator in win7). make sure kies is not running on your pc before running odin.
6 - connect your phone to pc via usb
7 - in odin select as "pda" the semaphore kernel. leave all options as defaults. execute it. this is done in a few seconds. this way you are rooting you phone (aka adding busybox) and installing superuser.apk
8 - unplug usb.
9 - let the phone reboot. then turn it off back again, and get once again in download mode (power+volume_down+home).
10 - run odin.exe (as administrator in win7)
11- connect phone to pc via usb
12 - in odin select ramad's jvb kernel as "pda". execute.
13 - start phone, to be sure reinstall superuser from google play
14 - you're done, now you are rooted with original jvb kernel.
I do not know if this is a robust procedure, but it worked for my italian jw7 rom, hope it is ok for you too.
after gaining root privileges, you can remove semaphore.apk from /system/app with root explorer (download from google play)
Do u think it ll work

since your phone is not rooted you have to use odin anyway.
"superoneclick" methods do not work with sgs1.
hence, you have to flash a pre-rooted kernel to gain root permissions.
after that you can flash the original kernel thus restoring the original state of the phone, apart from rooting it. you don't lose any data or setting, by the way.
since it looks like you're a cautious guy, I suggest you to study a little bit more thru the forum to understand how flashing kernels with odin works.
you can start by downloading odin, kies, and both kernels, and the whole original rom (you can find that in ramad's thread as well). Ramad's thread explains exactly how to flash with odin, btw.
I'm glad to help, but I'm not taking any responsibility on your behalf. do it at your own risk.
thanks broo ..

hey i followed d way u said n it worked smoothly .. thanks a loy bro .. and now u can u tell me how to go for a custom rom and upgrade my handset to ICS is it possible or do i need to make any more chnges to my handset .. lemme no asap .. thans in advance ..
I thought you wanted to root the phone for basic mods and removing samsung bloatware, not for flashing a custom rom. That's another matter.
if you want to flash a custom rom you need cwm recovery. this is a tool you get in "recovery mode", turn phone off and then power+volume_up+home to get there. some gingerbread custom roms can be flashed with odin, but as far as I know, you can't for ics or jb.
stock recovery won't let you flash any rom.
you do not have cwm recovery on your stock kernel.
to root any custom rom, you have to flash semaphore back again, and stick with that. with semaphore you have cwm recovery, so choose the rom you want to install and follow its thread instructions.
BUT: I've tried LOADS of custom roms, and never been fully satisfied with anyone of them. reboots, phone turns off by itself, limited functionalities, small bugs...
always reverted back to (rooted) stock. I'm never ever going to flash any rom but a stock one anymore. Of course you'll find different opinions on that on xda, this is just my 2 cents.
Lastest stock roms (2.3.6) are fast, smooth and completely bugfree.
Thanks in advance
hey thnks in advance but one of my frns has rooted to ics n he is telling tat phone works smoothly only for video recording and another one app .. rest works fine for him
anything for ram space .. i just have 364 mb ram wich gets almost full quite aftr using d net or running any apps .. pls suggest me any app or anythin wich i can do to increase my ram storage and other things ..

search threads for himem kernels. you'll find many of them. you'll probably get another 20 or 30mb. but I'm not going to suggest something I've never tried. current ram to me is more than enough.
regarding ics being faster and smoother, that's a matter of debate. my opinion is that the fastest rom around is cm7.2 (gingerbread), much faster than any ics rom. much more. At least among those I've tried.
the whole point about custom aosp roms is that samsung never released source code on some drivers, hence the little bugs here and there in cm7/9, ics, jb, and so on. that's why stock roms are superior, imho.
if you really want ics, move to sgsII or sgsIII

you can flash a Semaphore kernel as PDA in Odin 3, and you will have root as well as CWM or you use any other rooting method from My Android Collections

Thanks a ton...going ahead...will let you know in sometime...
just to add to the earlier post, just in case you have never entered download mode before
For i9000 :- you hold the Volume Down + Home + Power
Note:
When using Odin to Flash, Open task manager and close these : Kies.exe , KiesTrayAgent.exe, and KiesPDLR.exe

yes, enable USB debugging and restart ODin3, always restart after any flash or problem
Odin v3 will turn blue, not yellow

what have you tried to do to fix this already?
ICS Bad Idea!!!
I wouldnt recommned updating to ICS especially through kies i had my phone stuck at "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again" for 2 days It was a disaster. So i came across a website called http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/
I then downloaded the the I927UCLH2 ICS 4.0.4 Original Stock ROM using ODIN... FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE NOT KIES!! BUT THE ORIGINAL STOCK ROM!
***After you have successfully completed the stock rom with ODIN***
Get a rom from http://forum.jakar.co/android-hack/1345758298/ Choose the ROM called Bio360 its almost the same Replica of Gingerbread its Version 2.3.5
VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure you put the ZIP FILE (ROM) in your INTERNAL STORAGE NOT THE EXTERNAL!!! (SD CARD SLOT) BIG MISTAKE!!
Go to google and type in "CWM captivate glide new" click the first link beggining with www.theandroidsoul.com........ FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE!
After you have downloaded the Rom (ZIP FILE) and CWM put your phone into Recovery mode by powering off the device. hold power button and the volume down button until you see clockwork recovery, from here you are going to look for install from sd card and look for the zip file/Rom Bio360 and you should be set!
*******THE Bio360 Rom is also Rooted so there is no need to do an extra step************
*** I HOPE THSI HELPS ANY PROBLEMS FEEL FREE TO INBOX ME ANY QUESTIONS*** I WILL TRY MY BEST TO HELP......
Sorry guys wrong post this is for Samsung captivate glide! , my mistake..

This is for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Sprint SPH-L900) Is the website for the stock rom
rwilco12.com
stock rom: [ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-L900 MA7 (MA7 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock
Odin 3 v 1.85 (You Can Google and find it)
ok sweet so I have done this successfully. i really believe you should put this on ur first post so people dont have to do searching and can feel at ease.
1. Start ODIN 3v1.85
2. Enter Download Mode
a. Power the phone off.
b. Plug the usb cable into the computer (not the phone)
c. Hold both sides of the volume rocker down (vol up + vol down)
d. While holding those buttons down, insert the usb cable into your phone.
It may take a second or two for the screen to display with a warning. Press the Volume UP key to download a custom ROM.
3. In ODIN, click PDA and select the PDA.tar file you extracted
4. DO NOT check re-partition, Flash Lock, Phone EFS Clear, Phone bootloader update
5. CHECK Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
6. Click Start
At the end of the process ODIN's first block will show up as YELLOW with the words PASS and your phone will reboot.
Unplug USB from your phone after first boot.
It worked for me perfectly you don't have to F.Reset
Perhaps you should try the Note 2 forums for a more informative response?
I have the same problem with my tmobile galaxy s ii, T989
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again
and whenever I start installing a stock room using Odin 1.85 it force close and the phone stays in the same page saying

Please help!
Tried everything I know and still not working
I tried two computers and everytime I start odin it forces stop
The screen is still in Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again
and I guess this is the download mode because I restarted it with volume up and down and pluged the usb and it turns to this screen
I downloaded odin again to make sure it runs ok and also tried it in my wifes phone and it runs with no problem
It is one of two cases, ether the phone is completely dead or the files I am using to be installed are not the correct ones
I tried the files on this post:

Please tell me what to do
I really need the phone...
Ok so I was on the Vodafone release of the JB update, the phone became real laggy etc so I decided to see if there were any more releases of the JB update, I found Australia's LT6 so I switched off my phone.
I connected to ODIN on my laptop and put the MD5 file into the PDA and clicked start, It failed, so I tried again from scratch and it failed once more, Since then I have tried flashing A copy of the old Gingerbread stock rom. Still no avail.
I can access Download mode and when I enter recovery mode I get firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in Kies.
Kies does not register the device yet my laptop makes the sound when I connect it.
What do I do to save my phone!
Info; My phone is not rooted or on a custom ROM All stock.

Do a factory reset, wipe /system/, flash the ROM, and you will be good to go ! :good:

Why do I need to use a CM9 Kernal?
I don't want to have root.
Where do I put the Kernal in Odin?
First of all you should tell as exactly what error you got when installing XXLT5 in PC Odin.
Maybe make a snapshot of PC Odin window with the error.
Not start more actions with other ways to install a Rom before it's clear what happened. If you do not know it might get even uglier.
