[Q] Why wont it flash? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I got a problem with sgs.
SOme time ago I've updated from stock froyo to simply honey 3.3. it's running on 2.3.3 JVO firmware and speedmod JVH kernel. Now i want to update to jvp and install tiramisu rom. I did that, but it shows that its still JVO/JVH and its 2.3.3.
I think i did everything right.
First i flashed stock JVP over to current rom in odin with pit
then kernel
and then via cwm rom.
ROm is installed correctly. THere are some bug, but i think its due to the fact that its based on jvo. how can i install the firmware i want?

any ideas/.

Flash stock-JVP (in Odin with PIT-file + Re-Partition) and then the ROM with CWM, it must work.

[Q] Flashing Custom ROM with ODIN

Hello XDA,
I've used ODIN to flash to my default ROM on a few occasions when my SGS decided to not boot. This is a sort of pain, since I flash back to stock 2.1, then I have to upgrade to Darky 8.0 on 2.2 to access the "Darky Configurator" and then flash again to the latest Darky after using the configurator application.
Are there default 2.2 roms available? I couldn't find any. If not, can you use Odin to flash to a custom rom like Darky's?
I now realized that Darky has just released an Odin version, perfect!

[Q] How to downgrade speedmod kernel from K13e to K13c

Hi All,
Reason for this question is that, first of all I wanted to root my newly bought SGS GT-I9000 (2.2 DDJP6) So, flashed speedmod kernel K13E (latest). Later, when I wanted to install MIUI rom, as per the instruction one need to flash K13C kernel.
But, whenever I try to flash SM - K13C kernel on top of K13E, I tend to soft-brick my phone (BSOD). I need to once again flash K13E to get back my SGS to work.
So, in order for me to get on to MIUI rom, I have two options...
1) Downgrade K13E to K13C kernel. And continue to flash MIUI rom.
2) Restore my kernel to stock kernel first. Then start flashing K13C and continue to flash MIUI rom.
Can somebody please suggest, which option would be best and highly feasible?
Thanks in advance for the responses
Prabhu.
i dont think it matters what version of speedmod you are on, its only so you have CWM to flash the cyanogen kernel.
but anyway if you want to downgrade just download the one you need k13c and flash it thru CWM or ODIN and it will overwrite your previous kernel
I did try to flash K13C on top of K13E. Odin just froze at <ID:0/022> zImage step.
Please find the snapshot attached.
how long has it been like that. ?? try to find a CWM version and see if that works.
or just flash miui with your current kernel
If u want to get on miui, follow the guide on theandroidsoul.com/net.....good to have a clean start with ezbase2.0

I tried the CMW version of speedmod k13c and was successful. But, while flashing the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar from odin again, I got stuck in the below attached odin screen.
Is there any CWM version for the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar? What is that I am doing different?

[Q] how can i downgrande from 2.3.3 back to 2.2 roms?

So i've installed a 2.3.3 rom and now i cant get to CWM recovery..
so if got this right, while on a 2.3 kernel/rom i can't see nor boot into CWM recovery even though it IS installed..
by flashing to a 2.2 kernel Using "SGS Kernel" will i be able to access it again?
or can i downgrade to 2.2 by simply flashing a 2.2 rom from Rom Manager?
Sorry for being a noob..
What 2.3.3 rom have you flashed?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i flashed Darky's Extreme Edition v10.1
If you want to go back to a standard firmware, you could just go to samfirmware.com and flash a firmware using odin with pit file and repartition. You could just flash jvo rather than going back to 2.2.
That would restore recovery mode back to your phone
You will need to disable voodoo lagfix first though. You can do that with voodoo toggle app on market.
Edit: Flashing a kernal like fugu will give you cwm. Just flash jvo from samfirmware first
cant i just flash a 2.2 rom from the Rom Manager app?
edit:just noticed your edit, will any 2.2 kernel work or just the ones with CWM?
For rom manager to work you will need a compatable kernal first. If you cant access cwm I would guess you have the wrong kernal or it didnt flash correctly.
If you have a 2.2.3 rom I would not recommend flashing a kernal for a 2.2 rom.
If you want cwm then you will need a kernal thats includes cwm. I personally recommend fugumod kernal.

[Q] Rooted GT-I9000M but can't flash CWM

Hi there, I rooted my GT-I9000M on KG3 FW using this FW http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23560333&postcount=498 , downloaded Superuser and busybox, downloaded ROM Manager, flashed CWM, but when I'm trying to install custom roms, it boots up on Android System Recovery 3e instead of CWM Recovery. Did I missed something or I need to do something else to make it work ?
I've got the exact same problem.
Flashed stock kg3 pda,phone,csc
Flashed rooted kg3 (pda only in odin)
Installed superuser and busybox which seem to work correctly
installed rom manager and download cmw recovery.
Tried rebooting in cmw recovery and it does not work...
I don't think the cwm is the same...I believe that is just the simplest root directory possible, nothing more. Try flashing jvt or jw5 in pda and root that after with appropriate root kernel. Then you will have no issues. Besides there are no custom roms for kg3 anyway.

This is a good guide by All Gamer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
I already saw that guide, but the JVP ROM is not available anymore. I googled it and I can't find it !
Guys just flash jw5 under pda and use the kg3 modem and csc. Then flash semaphore 2.7.4. tar. Problem solved. I have a bell Canada phone myself and this setup works great. Then you can flash ics or whatever in cwm. If you don't like ics, I recommend Dmore3.3 for jw5.

Is there any rooted kernel out there which I could use with stock kg3 rom and modem without losing anything at all?
So I could use cmw recovery for a nandroid backup of my phone?
thanks
I just did what vanisleryan said, but I still got the Android System Recovery 3e not the CWM Recovery. I'm totally lost now ...

Bud I'm running a custom rom installed through cwm and the instructions I gave are what I'm running right now. If you're rooted with the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel than you have cwm. Not sure what you did wrong? Go and install the cwm apk I think it's available in the chainfire thread.

OK, I figured how to get to CWM. When I'm trying to install the MIUI ROM, I got bootloops. Did I do something wrong or it's just an imcompatible ROM ?

Not sure but I think you might just need to pull the battery when it boot loops and go back into cwm with 3 button combo, install again and should complete install. It probably tells you installation instructions on thread. Man if you don't end up like miui then try Dmore3.3... It's rock solid and resembles ics but runs on gb.

I successfully installed MIUI and I love it. The only thing annoying is that it's showing numbers instead of my carrier name.
Maybe you need to install a different modem, where in the world do you live?

[Q] Bootlooping Problem in Galaxy S I9000

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to flash my galaxy s and install ICS Dark night v5.5.
When I try updating the kernel using ODIN, my phone gets into bootloop.
It is a froyo installed phone. Also, I am unable to get recovery mode. It enters download mode though.
Can anyone help me out in this??? I am very new to this stuff... I am a beginner...
Held up in this for a couple of weeks.....
Thanks,
Sridhar
If you can boot into download mode, use ODIN to flash a stable rom, then get CWM and your back to where you were, hold off the nightly builds or post in the Cyanogenmod official thread or forums.
Thanks a lot... That did work.. But now i have got Mobile network not available error after flashing.....
Probably best to mention which version of software you are using and the source...
Best option is to flash stock gingerbread version via Odin.
www . theandroidsoul . com / xxjvu /
sorry can't put correct address in yet dont have enough thanks...
it would be better to update to any stable stock rom, go to sammobile.com...
i suggest you update to the latest firmware or ics stock rom for i9000 via odin then root that firmware you have chosen(CF-ROOT) and then update the custom rom darknight v5.5 via cwm...
I think you need gingerbread bootloaders for ics.. You were on Froyo, so it won't work.. You'll need to install a stock gingerbread rom with the pit file and repartition.. After that you can try an ics rom..
I found this thread. After attempting to get CM9 onto my S it wouldn't boot so I used odin to install a stock from from sammobile but now the phone just boot loops.
Could someone please help me.
More info:
After the odin flash - I get a screen like the recovery menu saying things such as "E:Format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10" and things of a similar nature - will have to see what the others say.
Any ideas?
You probably flashed a rom without bootloaders. Try flashing a 3 file rom from here and repartition with 512 pit.
