Hi Guys!
I was reading now through a lot of thread but as I never flashed a ROM before I didn't get to know what i wanted.
I am running Gingerbread 2.3.2 (JV1) and want to change to Darky's Extreme Edition v10.1.
What do I have to be careful about? Do I have to install Ficeto_JVH_Odin before?
Sorry for asking, probably there is an appropriate explanation somewhere but I couldn't find it.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards

- V10.1 is based on JVH firmware so to flash it you need to install a JVH base ROM first Flashing a base ROM means flashing it with Odin. Ficeto_JVH_Odin is what you should use. Everything will be explained, keep reading.
- If you already flashed Ficeto_JVH_Odin then you can flash v10.1 over it, else you need to flash Ficeto_JVH_Odin before flashing v10.1 in CWM.
- If you flashed Ficeto_JVH_Odin & Ficeto_JVH_CWM on top you can also flash v10.1 over it no problem.
- If you come from Froyo, from Gingerbread JVK or JVB then YES you need to flash the JVH base ROM. If you don't you'll probably have problems.

OK so did i get that right: I first have to install Ficeto via Odin and then I can install Darky's 10.1 via Recovery?
Sorry, I know there's always a risk of bricking the phone, but I just want to be sure that I don't destroy it because I made a fatal mistake flashing it from a wrong version.

yes flash that ficeto JVH first, thats the gingerbread base, then you apply darky's rom over it
Thanks man. I know it sounded stupid, but i just wanted to have a 100% guarantee that i got i right.

no probs. we would all prefer you ask a simple question than, start a post ' i bricked my phone' lol

I am a Bell i9000m user -- I'm using Froyo right now (JL2 modem) which uses the 850 hz band
I desperately want to go to a Gingerbread ROM.
I understand before flashing roms via CWM I need to change the bootloaders to the new Gingerbread 2.3 models
Can anyone point me to directions as to do this (I think it would have to be done via ODIN I'm assuming?)
Also, do I use JV1 or JVK ? what's the difference ?
Cheers
You could try ezbase, it didn't work very well for me though. (errors on boot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
Otherwise, you could flash the gingerbread bootloaders, then your choice of gingerbread roms, or flash the stock deodexed JVB in ramad's thread, with odin.

So JVB is the one to go with ? I am gonna flash the bootloaders first to turn it into a stock Gingerbread phone then go from there.
What do you mean by stock "deodexed" JVB ? what's the difference between deodexed and/or the original stock ? Sorry I'm still kinda new / learning

yes definitely go with JVB bootloaders (e.g here, for files and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924) and install a good base rom (e.g.Docs, Simply Honey or Stock Rom) that installs the full JVB in ziplined and deodexed form: this will aloow you to add features and themes later. If you only install the basic odexed JVB you cannot add themes or apps without risking (and incurring, boot crashes).
After you have the Rom installed you can go back to Odin and flash the KC1 modem if the JVB modem doesn't connect with Bell (or adjust the settings as per here on how to activate the necessary band within any modem).
You can than flash any custom kernel if you want to further tweak and adust your system. (Warning, this does get to be fun).
Docs didnt work as well as i'd hoped, i ended up going with Bezke's rom - plus it already had the theme i was planning to install haha.
can anyone tell me which ROM uses 2.3.3 gingerbread firmware as a base firmware of any ROM in this forum?? i tried reading but had a hardtime figuring out which one of those uses a 2.3.3 firmware as a base of the ROM?
do the darky's rom uses 2.3.3 base firmware??
hi
just read OP of every rom in DEV forum it will tell you what that rom is built on
regards
Are you asking about which ROM is flashable through ODIN, so that you can install a custom ROM directly without the need of installing a stock base ROM?

SGS is flying. It is very close to stock rom. I tried Darky's rom RC5, but could not match with Simply Honey in quadrant score.
All the roms that have 2.3.3 or the word Gingerbread in the post heading are what you want .

it says on the simply honey instruction that i have to install a kernel?? ahm, which kernel is that faster or the best kernel in your opinions? my phone is so i dont need to backup anything does it matter installing the rom?? what are bootloaders for? sorry for noob questions. im totally new on this phone. just making sure everything goes well to avoid bricking my phone.
there are too many ROM that use 2.3.3.....

Lol, wtf are you all talking about??
I am not a android specialist or somethin like that, but if you work trough the tutorial in darkys thread, you will get gingerbread that looks like gingerbread, not like stock samsung firmwares.
Why do you make it so difficult?
Just flash the Ficeto JVB stock rom trough odin, then reboot. then flash the dark core 2.2, reboot and install superuser from market. then just flash trough clockwork recovery/dark recovery darkys rom v10 rc6 or final, whatever you want... I prefer v10, it works more stable, even if its a rc.
So, the only important thing is, follow the manual and you will reach your destination
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...v10-rc6-i9000-i897-stable-but-not-final.2420/
Here's the link to the instructions...
Have fun and good luck, dude
correct me if im wrong !!!
he wants to use darkys 9.3.
that is not a gingerbread rom is it ?? im sure its a froyo rom (i dont use darkys roms)
so going from gingerbread to froyo without changing the bootloaders can cause issues.
flashing JVB is not gonna help as that is also gingerbread ...
Well, then he could have a look at darkys thread and follow another manual to get to darkys 9.5.
I cant imagine, why somebody would use atm somethin like froyo Its so ultra-old. v10 is much better in every aspect. The only disadvantage is that there arent any kernels for OC/UV :/ But everything else is awesome. Just like the crt screen off animation and the overscroll glow
Anyways, you have to go to darkys thread and make then some conclusions about it instead of just postin a thread about your problem. If you would read the first post, you would know even more, than now
Hi,
I finally got a Samsung Galaxy S after finding a great a deal on it. I'm aware that there are several ways on how to root this device. However, due to that I don't know which to use.
Currently I'm running on 2.2.1 Froyo XXJPY with Kernel Version of [email protected] #1.
I'm not totally clueless about rooting as I've done it already on my HTC Wildfire.
Could someone please advise me which is the most up-to-date and safest method of rooting? Link would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit confused about installing ROMs. I used to use CWM on my HTC Wildfire which was incredebly easy to do. Would it be the same on my Galaxy S?
I'm planning to test out MIUI, DarkysROM and such ROMs. Would these ROMs have the LAGFIX feature integrated in them as well?
I apologise if a thread like this has already been posted a thousand times but I just can't come up with a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy s Vibrant the I9000M and I rooted and unlocked mine today using SuperOneCick and then The Galaxy s unlock by helroz on the app market took a grand total of 6 minutes
Thank you! Now, that's one down.
Now just want to know about flashing ROMs e.g. MIUI, DarkyROM and such.
Do I need to root my SGS first to be able to flash custom ROMs?
I also noticed that you would also have to flash firwares and kernels. Do I need to this before flashing custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.
In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.
and from that its easy
As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.
use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.
read a little and after that have fun!!
And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.
Hi,
Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz
So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.
When would I need root then?
Is that right?
This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.

That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).
And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.
Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?
It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's
I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.
sorry for this nooob question....
new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????
sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.
I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.
So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.
The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.
So,yes you are good to go.

Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?
Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?
Really appreciate all your help Bork84!
Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.
As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.
but I am not an expert on that.
from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.
So i cant give you a 100% answer
The question is really in the title, what do I flash first when upgrading from darky froyo to ICS, the kernel or the rom?
Thanks!

Follow instructions for the particular ROM you want to flash
They usually don't mention the kernel, only the rom :/

The kernel is pretty much always included in the.zip, if you want to change from the ROM kernel to another, then usually just a case of using a cleaning script, or manually clearing cache/dalvik and a couple of others (init.d & Ns tools usually) and flash away
upgrade 2.2 to ics
You have to burn GB stock-rom 2.3 with odin first !!!
after you finish you need gb kernel like semaphore 1.8 also burn with odin (give the stock root).
and finnely flash the ics rom you wont (with the dev Specific rom Guidelines)

Afaik you don't need gb bootloader to flash to ics, (see slim website) however it is a good idea to in case you want to revert to gb, but in that case it is easier just to flash the boot loader....see nitr8s ezboot thread
Hi, I know it's been a really long time of the thread but what I know ALWAYS FLASH THE ROM FIRST AND THEN THE KERNEL
