Hi, So I have a Australian Galaxy S i9000 with stock 2.2 DTJP5.
I have finally decided to try a RomKitchen Gingerbread ROM, but I am not sure exactly what the entire process is.
Do I:
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Flash Gingerbread Bootloaders with Odin
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
or perhaps:
-Flash a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders using Odin
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
I cant find instructions that go into enough detail for the current Base ROM's on the RomKitchen Generator though, like,
-Which Base ROM should I choose- JV5, JV9 or JVO?
-Exactly what bootloaders and where from, do I get to flash first?
Also, is it easy to get back to my current stock, so I can update when Gingerbread is released officially?
Hoping someone has had some success and can help me out, Thanks!
Ok, now you have Froyo and you want to have GB.
So you'll need GB bootloaders. I would do it like this:
- wipe/format your internal sd
- Put the Kitchen-ROM on your internal sd
- Flash the Gingerbread-bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089989
- Go into recovery and flash the Kitchen-ROM
I've used the bootloader to install CM7, works very fine and downloading only the bootloader goes much faster than a ~200MB complete firmware from samfirmware.com or out of the XDA-forum here.
go with installing the stock gingerbread rom first..it is always safe. better safe than sorry
what i usually do...its a lengthy one...flash stock gingerbread, select a kernel with CWM, place the ROM in SD or EX-SD and install thru update.zip option.
which base are you looking for? JVO has got many themes now. and so does JVP.
its always a good option to check whether you have 3e recovery enabled!
Thanks!
What I ended up doing:
1) Flashed a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders (JVP from samfirmware.com) using Odin
2) Flashed this kernel [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519] with Odin
3) Used ClockworkMod to install the RomKitchen ROM
4) Did ext4 conversion, root, etc from ClockworkMod
5) Also managed to get a custom boot animation working
Good, and if everything went fine, you won't have any problems.
Is it OK to flash a new non-wipe RomKitchen ROM with a different kernel to the current kernel?

yes definitely, but remember to disable any lagfix if the new kernel does not support lagfix

No need to Odin.. it's a CWM flash. Just root your phone, install CWM, replace recovery with the patched 3e recovery (see attachment), copy firefly zip on internal sd, reboot into recovery and flash the firefly zip from the sdcard. Let it do it's job... It may looked stalled on Formating DATA for a while but just leave it alone for a few minutes (5-10) then it will go on. Reboot and your done.
flash it or not
do i have to put that attatchment in the root of my internal sd card and flash it with cwm?
Does firefly work on a stock ROM? Based on the OP's post, I think he has a stock rom on, and he rooted the same.
probably, anyways how would i get to stock firmware from a rom? 2.2

FireFly is going to replace the stock ROM
And yes you can Flash it over 2.1 (Eclair) or 2.2 (Froyo)

do i have to flash a kernel before flashing the rom or can i directly flash the rom?
You can directly flash the rom using CWM. Later on, you can switch to other kernel.
if i flash it and want to go back to stock, how would i get back to 2.2 rogers
Hi All,
I'm pretty new flashing custom firmware and have only done about 2-3 full firmware flashes to my phone. I had ran a few searches but haven't found an exact answer. Is it safe to flash directly to JUWE 5.2 from CWM (Gingerbread JVK 2.3.3) without upgrading to JVQ first? On JUWE's Rom forum it states, from gingerbread that you can just update through CWM, but on his extended installation guide, it states a few things differently. Specs below:
Bell Mobility I9000m Vibrant
Model Number:GT-I9000
Firmware Version:2.3.3
Baseband Version:I9000UGKC1 (Flashed this separately when I first installed GB due to poor signal.)
Kernel Version:2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655 se infra SEI-28 #2
Build Number:GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
CWM 3.0.0.5
Rooted
Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to all!
yes u can upgrade directly but in juwe's manual he clearly states that u go to stock jvq first before u flash his rom.. follow the manual, its safer..
Ok, so the safest option (which is what I'm looking for), would be to flash the stock JVQ with Odin and then Use Odin again to flash JUWE's tar file by placeing it in the PDA section of odin.
I'm on Juwe's 5.2,
1) you need to Flash Stock JVQ with Gingerbread bootloaders , there are a few threads on dev part of SGS forum
2) then you need a kernel that has CWM recovery [because you install Juwe's rom, through the CWM] - you can use Chainfire's JVQ kernel for that
3) Copy Juwe's Rom on your internal SD and install through CWM, but clear cache and such
My personal recommendation is not to be afraid to try. If the 3-button combination works it is very hard to brick your SGS, so just follow install guides to the letter and all will be great.
Hello professionals!
I am currently on a vodoo kernel, the bootmenu shows it has ClockWork Recovery 2.5.1. and vodoo lagfix.
Ontop of that I use the stock Samsung ROM with Vodoo Sound.
Root is enabled.
Now I want to upgrade to Gingerbread.
The problem: I don't quite remeber what I did half a year ago and what was important. I followed some guide on here.
Do I have to revert anything?
And how would I go flashing GB? Just use the update.zip on the SD to flash a new Kernel out of recovery mode through CWM and then flash the ROM the same way?
I'd recommend reverting ext4 to rfs filesystem, then flash a complete stock GB firmware /with/ GB bootloaders, after that you can grab any rom/kernel you want if you don't like stock.
GB and froyo bootloaders are different, so if you just try to flash a new gb rom with CWM directly you'd probably softbrick the phone or something
i think the best way is flash newest gingbread rom( JVS 2.3.5) with odin, in odin you need to tick "repartition" and "update bootloader" ! <=this is very important if you used lagfix and froyo rom.
wouldn't a stock GB firmware/bootloader kind of crash with most kernels/roms out there?
Just to be sure, the order is:
-firmware
-then bootloader
-then kernel
-then rom
??
All that after reverting the lagfix and all that via ODIN?
First of all I'll start by saying I am currently on Infinitum v2.2 ROM (ICS 4.0.4).
I am willing to install a new ROM but I don't really get the installation procedure.
Most of the installation guides tell you to enter recovery, install the ROM zip, GAPPS zip, perform wipes and that's it.
Where have flashing stock ROMs, kernels, root and the rest of the Odin stuff gone?
If I want to move from one ICS ROM to another ICS ROM, is installing from recovery really enough?
Moved from SlimICS to ICS333 using recovery. Wipe, Flash ROM and then Google apps Or you can revert to GB and flash ICS ROM.
ODIN is for dealing with Samsung firmware (ie. stock ROM) only. Changing kernels via ODIN can be done because the firmware is still by Samsung. Same thing with the modem.
Anything to do with custom ROMs can only be installed by a recovery method.
Samsung isn't making an ICS firmware for i9000. Your only method to have ICS is via custom ROM.
Always follow instructions by the dev of the particular custom ROM you choose.
Its been sometime since I have bought the note. I was wary of installing custom ROM's due to the various hardbrick issues. I have installed custom ROM's on other android devices (Galaxy S, Dell Venue) hence do have some basic knowledge. I am on stock rooted Indian ICS ROM :silly:
Two questions before I start:
1. I am sitting on a potential dangerous ROM, and I know it. Has there been any light on EMMC hardbrick bug by Samsung, (I have not tried any OTA updates in fear of bricking the phone). I am on Android version 4.0.3 (baseband version N7000DDLP4).
2. Is the CWM hardbrick bug sorted?
So I intended to follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Flash stock GB ROM through ODIN.
2. Root and install CWM (Is CWM the only method of installing custom ROM's)
3. Install the custom ROM (I was looking at Liquid Black ROM based on CM9)
sounds ok
use pc odin to flash GB tar file
CWM is the only way to install/flash zip files of custom roms that are available here.

1. No rom is dangerous, it is just the Kernel, change stock kernel with some safe kernel and you will be okay.
2. Yes, use safe kernel like Speedmod or Notecore, they have safe cwm too.
Maximum of custom roms can be installed using cwm recovery only, but look for Alliance rom, it can be flashed with odin too.

Wouldnt the custom ROM packages include the kernel too? If I am installing from stock GB ROM, are you infering the kernel will be what Samsung released when it came out with the GB update?

It does, that's why I said flash safe custom kernel and you will be good on stock rom too!, so basically its just the kernel which is faulty and no issue with rom as long as you use with safe kernel. You can also flash stock firmware using mobile odin and can inject custom kernel at same time.

Yep you are good to go as GB kernels are safe. You can also
1.If you are on stock ICS : Root it and install abyss kernel (Its a GB kernel so your phone wont boot).
2.Reboot recovery & Wipe data
3.Install your CM9 ROM.
Best of luck

Well referring to my given procedure (If you follow it) after flashing Liquid Smooth you will have its kernel (CM9 kernels are safe for wiping) as far as in case you consider flashing TW custom ROMS just make sure it has a safe kernel (Speedmod or notecore) before wiping.
Thanks, the inputs are appreciated.
A final question, I read that stock ICS rooted through CWM.zip is unsafe. Unfortunately I had rooted my stock ICS installation the same way, phone is working fine till now. Anything I should be wary of before proceeding (yeah am nervous about bricking the device).
I am planning to install a pre-rooted GB ROM as mentioned here:

I am planning to download the N7000XXKKA ------ 2.3.6 2011 November------- N7000CPWKK3 -----------United Kingdom (Carphone Warehouse)----- Download version, and flash it as posted by Dr Ketan.
I will follow the method to root here:
