ATTENTION: This is exactly the same way to flash any other custom samsung rom.
You can't flash with this procedure roms like CM7 MIUI AND ALL OTHERS ROMS BASED ON CM7.

In first procedure in recovery (vol up + power + home), DON'T do a factory reset !
First, with repartition in Odin everything should be clean and second a factory reset seems to remove "sim toolkit" app and at next boot you'll be stuck at "Unlocking sim card" step.
Please, edit this tutorial or add "sim toolkit" app in the rom.

can i put it insted of the JVq that i downloaded form here http://www.multiupload.com/RTT74XVG7E
???

This guide is wrong man!
You gonna put newbies in trouble!
Please remove this thread

what's wrong with it?
i followed it to the letter except the factory reset in recovery (for the causes Wendigogo already mentioned) and everything is working fine.

I am using a Galnet Twooey III (2.3.5) with Gingerbread bootloaders.
Do I need to go back to Froyo bootloaders?
Or the only thing to do is just to flash the CGR v79 using CWM?

Hi,
currently I am using v77 with darkcore 2.9 that matches jvq.
what is the procedure that I need to follow to install v79?
install v79 from cwm-> replace kernel to darkcore 3.1?
or install stock jvr->replace core to darkcore 3.1-> install v79 from cwm-> replace core?
or any other solution?
thanks a lot!

FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final - how to install
Hello
I have an samsung galaxy i9000 with
Gingerbread 2.3.3: JV9 - JVO - JV7
I downloaded the file
FulRom NoWipe V77 Versión Final: CriskeloRom_GINGERBREAD_v77_I9000-I9000T-I9000M.zip
Lets try it...

After installation
This is a GREAT ROM.
I am really happy with it.
Very awesome.
Everything works fine!
And my i9000 has bekomme even faster, so I can underclock for saving battery.
Keep up the good work.

Finally after all joy of this mod I have some suggestions.
I am using the version v77.
When trying to apply the battery mods or the blue theme, the phone loops while talking to the SIM card. Only way out, to restore my backup.
There might be the possibility, that I did not read enough about the battery mods, however, my knowledge of spain is zero.
Another question. I like the gel type style of buttons, as shown in gingercriskelos adress tab. I themed a lot for nokia. Would it not be nice to use this kind of tabs (buttons with gel effect) for the selected tab at any modus?

dark side of dark core
I am happy with v77. My prob. unfortunately i used a ext4 and forgot to reset!
When I saw v79 I tried it.
Install ZIP from SD Card.
I did not consider, that another kernel was included: Darkcore.
I end up with the astronaut.
All my cwm backups became unusable.
So I went for a clean gingerbread install and put v77 on top again. So I lose my product code.
Why didnt you stay with the old architecture, so that users can follow upgrades easily with cwm zip without wipe.
best regards
jodahush

not much movement in this thread anymore. People moves to v79
Just want to mention, that I can install battery and theme mod now.
My problem was the ext4 lagfix i used before.
I am interested to know, how those mods works with darckcore, since this thig is allways lagfixed. (v79)
Criskelo seems to move to Galaxy S2. I hope somebody continue his great ROM

I installed as per guide but I don't have google maps and don't know how to Install it?!!
tia

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
When flashing to JVQ, all went well and i got pass & reset on odin, but then on my phone, i got failed to format & got stuck on the samsung logo screen.. please heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

[Q] Install new ROM 2.3

Hello,
I try to install new ROM the my first time (and also try to backup my ROM)
So I root my phone (I hope I did it )
and I install ROM Manager .
I download ROM Ultibread-V1.4.ZIP and copy to the root of the SD.
When I open the ROM manager and select to backup my ROM or select Install ROM fro SD Card and get into recovery mod I'm getting only the following options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip (this all the time give me error that the file is corrupt even if I download and copy new file
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
format internal sd-card
How can I solve that ?
An easy alternative would be to flash any Froyo Kernel. It would give you Clockwork Recovery directly. You just have to boot into recovery and apply the ROM.
Thats because stock rom can not run unsigned update.zip.
Try to flash speedmod or ultimate kernel via ODIN.
But please make sure that you have 2e or 3e recovery before you use ODIN
Flash cf root in Odin. This will give you 2e recovery which you need to install zip files. Then flash speedmod Odin version and you should have working cwm.

hi dude,
what I would suggest is using Darky's rom ressurection edition
i had the exact same prob but it got solved
it's a little difficult but you shouldn't get stuck if u follow the instructions well
link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671
this should work
I think I'll wait with flashing Gingerbread for Darky's rom based on it Wouldn't change that for anything else!

[Q] Help With Custom Rom installation.

Hi there,
Since gingerbread with most probably be the last update for SGS i would like to install a custom mod.
Now i have been trying to do this (darky 10 RC4) for the past 2 days.
I followed Darky's instructions then i had a problem with the CWM only accepting "edified" script.
So i downloaded rom manger and tried to downgrade ta 2.5 but as soon as i tap on the 2.5 it immediately comes up with an error, "an error occured while flashing your recovery."
this is done on a 2.3.3 JVB SGS with CWM 3 installed (orange text).
Are there alternate routes? maybe downgrading to android 2.2 installing an older version of darky and than upgrading the darky rom?
any help is much appreciated.
thanks
Download the rom CWM-zip and put it in your internal sdcard.
Download some froyo-kernel (yes, froyo) with CWM 2.5. Speedmod for example. Then flash it with Odin repartition and auto-reboot unticked. When the flashing process is completed, pull the battery and then boot to recovery (3 button combo). Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.
thanks, i wil try that.
Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.

just 1 question, why do i need t flash CWM-zip if i am already on CMW 2.5?

Sorry. With CWM-zip I meant the Darky's Rom.zip, which can be flashed through CWM.
it didnt work, u just gave up.
hopefully some new rom update that is edified will show up in a couple of months
Install supercurio hacked kernel, it has recovery 2.5 instead of 3.0.0.5. From there you should be able to install darky's rom. If the new version of his kernel is recovery 3, tell me i'll send the old one just for the purpose.
Hi,
ok last attempt
i flashed ( odin PDA, no pit and no repartition) with this link:
Kernel Download:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975349
while i was on
PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
rooted with root CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS
and lag fixed with CF-Root-ext4-v1.2
and it forking worked red text 2.5 THANKS A BUNCH!
edit just a problema. it is only booting in CWM.
reattempting this without the lag fix.
2nd attempt with PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
and without lag fix not rooting.
phone stuck looping at booting with strange sound on each boot loop
3rd attempt with rooting, but no lagfix
If you are only rebooting in recovery, did you flash the new kernel, then reboot recovery ? if yes, the easy way to get out, is to reboot in download then reflash the wanted kernel (Since your rom is installed, you can install any kernel (GB of course)) then, it will reboot in recovery again and just reboot system now. This should fix your problem.
edit : Dont forget to get CF-root 3.1 for JVB and not JVK.

[Q] Questions about themes, boot animations and bootloop.

Hello all.
*I have conducted searches and couldn't find much on the subjects, or have found irrelevant information.*
I'm relatively new the modding the SGSi9000 and have just as of recently upgraded to the leaked 2.3.3 and installed Darky's ROM v10 RC4 with CWM3.
I have been trying to install themes for my phone by downloading the themes .zip and putting the phone into recovery mode and installing the said .zip, however the phone ALWAYS goes into a bootloop and won't get out of it unless I reinstall Darky's ROM v10 RC4.
- Is there a way I can make a backup of Darky's Rom and just reinstall that using CWM so I don't have to reinstall everything from scratch using ODIN? If this is possible, will it get me out of the bootloop caused by the failed installation of a theme? It's a fairly tedious process.
- If not, is there a way to get out of the bootloop after the failed installation of a theme and revert back to the way just before I tried to install a theme?
I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong (I must be) and if there was an up-to-date guide on how to install themes correctly? The themes I'm talking about are the ones as follows:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000049
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022956
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042516
- I was also wondering as how to how I could change the animated Samsung Galaxy S logo and the sound it makes just after boot. I've read that you can't change the writing of the static Samsung Galaxy S so that doesn't bother me. If there was an up-to-date guide on this I'd also be happy.
Fware: 2.3.3
Baseband: i9000XXJVK
Build: Darky's v10.0 RC4.
If you need anymore information then please do ask. Thanks in advance.
- Gee
As its Darkys rom ask Darky ask in his forums read his posts re themes for his roms .
You want an easy method of themes and boot animation visit Rom Kitchen not the dark kitchen .
Build your own rom choose themes boot animation etc .

I honestly don't think I know anywhere near enough to customise my own ROM... I already have a boot animation from some themes thread that I'd like to use, was just wondering how to get that on there instead of the animated SGS logo.
Also, have you got an answer to my question in relation to the bootloop and making a backup?
Thanks.
If you made a backup from recovery before flashing the theme, then hold the power button down during the bootloop until the phone switches off. As soon as the screen goes dark, hold the three buttons as normal to go into recovery. If you can't turn the power off with the button, then pull the battery, replace it and go into recovery mode as normal.
From recovery, just restore your backup as normal.

[Q] How to install custom ROM ...?

Hey Frnds...m new to this forum and also new...to Samsung galaxy s i9000 2.3.3 os
Plz can you provide me some help for the installation of custom ROM like ..simply honey 4.o....what are the advantages of that....?
PLz Help me... i want to install simply honey 4.0 But i dont no how to do that..>
Tnx in advance..!!
...then I suggest you read the Simply Honey thread in the Dev forum. It will tell you all the advantages of the ROM and give you instructions about how to install it.
No one can do it for you, you will need to put the time and effort in and educate yourself. Once you have done that, if you still have specific questions then ask them but don't expect anyone to hold your hand and walk you through it step by step. If you don't think you can handle that or don't wish to try, I suggest you stick to the Stock ROM on your phone, you will be happier that way.
However, if you DO make the effort, I guarantee that the knowledge you gain will be invaluable and really improve your Android experience.
Thnx for the rply....n i`ll definitely try to install custom ROM....and i don't want anyone to hold your hand....i just wanted to know the installation process..!!Thnx for the rply and i`ll check the forum..!

Simpliest way is to download CF root for your current rom. For example XXJVQ. Download Odin ( 1.3). Than turn off Kies if running! Open Odin. Put your cell phone in download mode via 3 button combo ( volume down, lock, home) You will see a droid digging and download. Connect the phone with data cable. On the top left you will see PAST. Now hit PDA at Odin. Choose the CF root ( extract it if it is not in tar archieve) than hit start. After the boot open the menu of the phone, and see clockwork mod. Install it! Now select custom rom of your choise. I am on JUWE's with GALAXIAN kernel. Put the rom on your SD card. Than go to phone RECOVERY ( vol up home, lock) You will see the the CLOCKWORK MOD. Choose ot instal instal zip from SD card. Choose the rom and than go After the Flash WIpe data, Wipe Cache and wipe Dalvik Cache. Convert to EXT4 and u are good to go.

[Q] How to properly flash a new rom?

Hello there, I have a rooted SGS and I have flashed it before, although that was well over a year ago.
I felt it was about time to try something new so I'm looking for information on how to properly do an upgrade. I found many flashing guides, but not that many good ones about how to 'upgrade'.
At the moment I'm running Android 2.1.1, Darky's v9.5.XWJS8 with Dark_Core_1.0 and I'd like to try SlimICS with Semaphore, or any other stable & good release if you feel you have suggestions.
Any help is appreciated!
there are many ways.
But also the search is your best option.
google youre best friend.

SIMPLE WAY TO ROOT AND FLASH LATEST ICS
1. Flash by Odin (download Odin) Semaphore 1.2.0 kernel (as PDA, UNtick repartition, UNtick reboot).
2. Take out battery.
3. Go into recovery (vol up + home + power, release power after few secs)
4. In recovery mount internal SD (sdcard) and plug phone to PC. Delete all files from internal SD (if you don't have any important files). Copy latest CM9 and gapps to internal SD. Unmount internal SD.
5. In "mounts" menu use every (excluding internal and external SD card!!!) "format" option.
6. Go to flash ZIP menu and choose CM9 ZIP, then gapps.
7. Turn off recovery (phone).
8. Turn on phone and wait to boot.
Hope I helped.

Why not install the latest version of semaphore kernel?
1.2.5?
Re:
Hi,
Have a look here: http://www.darkyrom.com/index.php?threads/darkyrom-v11-0-black-edition-android-4-0-4-ics.7941/ - this is just for information, so at Step 13. you can alraedy flash Slim.
After flashing this, you will have no problem to flash any other ICS ROM in just a few minutes because you will already have the ICS bootloaders.
Hope it helps!
Sorry for being a nuisance, thanks for all the good replies!
So even tho I'm already running a very old custom rom & custom kernel, I can just proceed to flash by using any guide?
