[Q] SGS debrand

Hey guys.
Just bought a brand new SGS on Portugal Vodafone last week. On first day, and after read some hours here in the foruns i already rooted it and unlocked it ^^
Now a question arrises, debrand the bastard!!! i hate the Vodafone animation on the start after the first boot logo that says Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000, hate the vodafone bloatware that fuls the screens, and sincerely dont like the lots of Samgung App that sneeks around every corner of the phone.
Already flashed and debranded other phones so im not really a BIG noob on the thing, but im a really NOOB on Samsung phones. To be honest im scared with all the procedures that exists... Already backed up EFS folder for starting. attached you can find 2 screenshots i taked of the version and about screens
I can enter recovery and download modes and already noticed i cant install Clockwork Recovery ( is it the best here for the SGS, or stock one is suficient? ) because im at 3e version of android recovery and not 2e. id love to try the ROM MANAGER app...
So as im at 2.3.3 i guess i'll wait for a custom ICS, but i really would like to get ride of this bloatware, stock or custom ( i like cyanogen roms )... is there a soul that is willing to help me?
thanks in advance

Hey,
seems you want try ICS rom. Okay here ya go:
1. First you want rooted ROM with CWM installed. Easiest way to do this is flashing a "base
ROM" like this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/JVU/JVU-RE.zip/download
(Thanks Darky and Ficeto, http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-jvu-re-gt-i9000.6558/)
2. Extract the files, you should have: Odin 1.3, .pit file and PDA.tar
3. Now open Odin, set .pit file
-tick repartition
-set PDA.tar into "PDA"
-put your phone to "Download Mode"
-make sure all is okay and your phone is detected by Odin (if isnt't, you have to install SGS drivers to your PC)
-click start
4. When flashed, wait until your phone reboots. (nice sound fx, eh?)
5. Now your phone is rooted and has CWM recovery.
6. Now download Teamhacksung's CM9 ICS .zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593
-download also Google apps
7. Put your phone to PC and copy these files to your phone internal sdcard.
8. Go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition
-then install .zip from sdcard
-choose your zip
-flash
-when flashed, flash Google apps
-wipe data&cache again, or calendar sync wont work
9. If it goes to bootloop (wont pass samsung galaxy bootlogo) flash again.
If Google sync won't work, you have to install Google apps fixer from CM9 thread.
Hope I helped, ask if you didn't understand something=)
You are doing this at your own risk

[Q] ok new guy here please help !!!!!!!!

OK first i have googled it and have read many threads so plz dont tell me to do so
and im no noob i have a galaxy fit im jus trying to help my lucky friend who has a galaxy s

1. Download Darkyrom(version).zip
2.Get into recovery mode(cwm)(Volume up+home+power)
2. Wipe Data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
4. Go to advanced->> wipe dalvik
5. Install zip from sd --->> darkyrom.zip

Edit: there are sites that says that you have to install the rom with odin, google a bit more, you don't want a bricked galaxy s

Best answer can be found on the Darky's website. Go to http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php and look for the rom you want to install and they have instructions on how to do it.
I would suggest trying Darky JVU it is the latest and in my opinion the best Darkyrom

bro he dosent even have cwm its complete stock i was thinking if i somehow gget rom manger to work atleast i cAN GIVE HIM CYANOGEN MOD DIRECTLY FROM ROM MANAGER DOWNLOAD REP

Download the latest stock firmware from the following link:

Download Chainfire's CWM kernel (link below) for the firmware you installed from the link above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Now that you have CWM, you can download and install the Darky firmware of your choice.

the installation instructions are given in the link along with the download link..
this will give you darky rom 10.2 on your friend's phone which will be rooted along with CWM recovery.. after this you can install any rom which you want using the recovery and the instructions given in the op of the rom you chose.

Bro look at the kernel name -.-

Just install semaphore kernel with odin by downloadin kernel and put in pda slot in odin. Put the phone into download mode by using vol down home and power. Plug phone in and hit start. Make sure you have the drivers installed(samsung kies) and it recognizes the phone. When its done flashing in about 10 seconds it will reboot. Now power down the phone and hold vol up home and power. That will bring you into cwm recovery. Make sure you have darky rom on sd card. Do factory reset and go to install zip from sd card and install darkyrom zip. It will then install and reboot. It will take a while so just wait. If it boot loops put it into recovery again and reflash the zip file again. Please hit thanks and happy flashing!

[How to] Booting ICS ROM without any kernel splash screen

Hello there
After experienced many times upgrading rom from stock firmware to ICS custom, I have a trick for myself and want to share it to you all! That is how to boot into an ICS rom without appearance of kernel splash screen
** Note: This trick is useful with AT&T bootloader only, i've tested with i9k bootloader but unsuccessful.
What needed:
1. Eclair stock firmware: (needed if you're on any custom rom, if you're using stock then don't need to load this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
2. Speedmod kernel (to get CWM): this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 ---> download speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar in attachments box at the bottom of post #1.
3. Elite 10.1 for Captivate (must have): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567102
4. Your favorite rom, or if Elite is good enough to you, then you don't need to download anymore! Don't forget to put these rom into your Cappy sdcard!
Here's the sequence of work:
Again, if you're on stock rom without CWM, then ignore step 1 and jump to step 2!
1. Download mode --> Odin --> back to stock Eclair with AT&T boot loader
2. Download mode --> Odin --> flash Speedmod kernel to get Clockwork Mod Recovery, by putting the file speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar you've loaded above into PDA box in Odin, then Start and wait till completed
3. Recovery mode --> Install .zip file of Elite 10.1 ROM, wait till finished and you can boot into Elite successfully. You can ignore this booting process if you don't want to use this ROM, by taking battery pack out!
4. Recovery mode --> Flash your favourite rom and kernel in your usual way (wipe cache, dalvik or full wipe)
5. Reboot and you will see, Cappy shows only the AT&T splash screen and never lets any kernel have a chance to show its own logo!
I've tested with these ROM: CM9 nightly, SlimICS, ICSSGS with exact steps above and the results are the same: great! I've not tried with AOKP yet, but I think it should work!
If anyone try this with AOKP and everything's ok, plz comment so that I'll update into this post!
Hope it helps many Cappy's owners!

this seems stupid
i would rather get rid of the AT&T logo from booting than the kernel splash screen

Ahh then you can use i9000 bootloader!

Here's your topic: [MOD] Custom Boot Screen (for Gingerbread ROM's)
I attached a param.lfs tar for UCKF1 stock rom

no Eclair for my replacement phone
Ever since I got a replacement phone (by AT&T warranty) I cannot install Eclair 2.1 using Odin into it.
I can only use the Odin for going back to 2.2 and 2.3
If I install 2.1 on it I get a bootloop and sometimes it bricks - only a jig can get it back to life.
Do you think this will work with 2.2 ?

I think it's possible. I used to upgrade to ICS from 2.3.5 stock rom with AT&T bootloader and this trick was useful that time. So firstly, u should try to do this trick directly on ur stock 2.2. I believe it will work! But if it won't, u need to upgrade to 2.3, then do the same process!

Thanks. Maybe it's better for me just to try is from 2.3 stock right away and not to bother with 2.2
Anyway, I'll try it if I ever have to go back to stock for any reason.
This kernel splash screen doesn't bother me it it's nice to know how to remove it

[Q] Update My Galaxy Tab 7' P1000 - ICS

I already rooted with using superoneclick, and i wanna know how to install ICS on my tab please help me. (super user it there)
Model Number
GT-P1000
Firmware Version
2.3.3
Baseband Version
P1000XXJPZ
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
[email protected]#2
Build Number
GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO UPDATE.

Go to http://www.teamovercome.net
Just in case you don't know, overcome is Gingerbread.
You only want overcome kernel as stepping stone so you have a cwm recovery.
Once you have cwm recovery, you can flash anything, including ics.
Since you are already on JQ1, I don't think you need to follow the whole flashing their stock safe rom, since it is also a JQ1.
just grab the overcome kernel 4.0 tar, and also download ics cm9 or aokp ( your pick, go thier individual thread and read up) and latest gapps, put them on sdcard.
I think you do factory reset first, then flash overcome kernel using Odin.
Then boot into cwm recovery by pressing volume up and power on at the same time.
From recovery flash ics and then flash gapps.

Actually more choices of rom now, SGT7 ICS by cdesai (also recommended) and Gummy (not recommended for now seems very buggy, although it has better theme).
After following priyana's instruction,
Remember, as mentioned in each instruction on the perspective rom's thread,
You will get a strange 'recovery loop' as if it's failing to install. Just go back to recovery mode (power + volume up)
and reflash the ICS-ROM .zip file.
Welcome to the world of ICS.

thank you guys very much for the information. i am a noob and i really can't see anything how to do this.. please tell me step by step how to do that if so that will be very easy me to do.. i don't know anything about rooting but i already rooted it with superoneclick root and super user is there too i don;'t know what to do with it. please help me.

Follow that exactly, and let us know how it goes.

First, thank you for reading this. I had rooted & unlocked my at&t GT-P1000 using custom ROM 4.1.0 from teamovercom in January, 2012. Today, I like to something new and curiousity that can I install ICS custom ROM. But I am still not confident by reading from here: " http://rootzwiki.com/topic/22246-ro...ung-galaxy-tab-p1000ln-gsm-build-38-11062012/ " (please no quote). Now, I'm asking for your generousity and patient to show me what other steps I need to do to flash ICS custom ROM after follow teamovercome user guide, and my tab still able to make/receive call and I have now, thanks again. Pleae, please, and please reply to " [email protected] ".
Best regard,
Van.

you already have Overcome, so it is dead simple
- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.
- boot to download mode
- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar
- once flashed the tab reboots.
- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off
- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )
- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)
- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.
- force reboot to recovery again
- flash ICS again
- immediate after complete, flash gapps
- reboot
To go back to GB you need to do the Odin restock all over again though.

Installing Stock ICS over Rooted GB 2.0.6 ??

I have 2.0.6 GB ROOTED
And I checked software updates in settings to find A new firmware Android 4.0 about (337) M.B
The question is if i accept downloading this update via wireless .. will I preserve the Rooting option in new ICS ???
Or better to download the Firmware (621) MB from hotfile & Flash it through [mobile odin] ?! although im still aware to do something wrong to end stupidly in breaking the device =/
All i want to keep the Root as I overclock the phone to 1.6 Ghz ...
sry about the nuby question but im afraid to brick the phone +/
Thx in Advance >>>

Emmmm.... if you need the rooted phone, you need to flash custom ROM through CWM. If you'll download new ROM via Wi-Fi, you don't get root.
Just flash 4.0.x through CWM. If you haven't CWM, flash GB with custom kernel with CWM through Odin.
You can get the bricked phone only if you'll make wipe through CWM builded on the stock Samsung ROM.

how do I install ICS on my rooted galaxy note, rookie!!
I want to install ice cream sandwich on my rooted galaxy note but i have no idea how to do it. I hate gingerbread and all the apps and the way they are displayed.

You have no idea ? I'm not surprised !
Look around you and SEARCH for the things you want.Check out dr.ketan's thread for rooting and follow individual rom guides (in their respective threads) for installing ROMs.Don't just sign up and say you don't know anything and want to be spoon-fed.
Also,read the hardbrick warning posted by the devs in the dev section

Okay, first of all, small Q&A:
QA:
1) What is CWM? CWM is advanced recovery program. It's built-in in kernel. You can enter in CWM by pressing in powerd off phone home+vol.up+power.
Wht is kernel? Kernel is the core component of the phone ROM. You can flash it separate from other parts of ROM.
2) You can also flash separately the Modem (phone), CSC and UMS parts. Remember, some kernels do not support some ROMs, for example: If you'll flash the Cyanogen Mod, and then some Franco kernel, your phone will cannot start properly. Ofc. you can use CWM in this case.
3) This is scary to flash my phone? No, if you read all instructions, you can "breack it" in the only one case: you'll wipe it from the CWM builded in official samsuung 4.0 - 4.0.3 RoM.
4) What is "wipe/format user data"? This is the way to clear your personal data, and the other trash in your system. You need to wipe before installing new ROM.
5) What happens if i flash new ROM without it? Nothing critical, but some of your apps can work incorrect this way.
6) How to flash kernel from CWM? Download the kernel in *.zip file, copy it to the SD-card, restart in CWM, install zip file. If you have *tar rom-file, use the PC-Odin.
7) What is Odin? Odin is leaked samsung app for win32 for flash samsung devices by USB
8) What is mobile odin? It's better than odin for bigbro? This is the superapp made by one of the xda-dev (chainfire, if i don't mistaken). But u need the root priveledges to use it.
You need to find PC-Odin 1.85 or 1.87, and the rooted ROM with CWM in *.tar format. Close all kies services with "task manager".
Connect your phone in download mode (home+vol. down+power and when is powerd on and ask you about flashing, press "vol. up"), launch Odin. You will see yellow quadrant in odin. Then you need to click on "PDA", then selecting the downloaded ROM file, and do not forget the "pda" checkbox. Do not touch the other checkboxes, then Start.
Wait before it's flashed.
This is the basic guide, ofc.
