ive tried so many of all of your roms and cant find the answer for this. i just came back from being on a gingerbread rom (simply honey) and i tried going to toxic music but tokic got stuck for 20 minutes on the bali kernel screen. now i cant get into the recovery option (reinstall packages) so i can root. it wont let me. it says no such file or directory. ive done this about 60 times and never came across this problem. i cant get root access to add other roms. can someone please point me in the right direction...PLEASE!

Wrong place! But gb roms have a diff method for getting into download mode

Yep. This certainly will occur after coming from gingerbread. Load up Odin and flash back to stock, reroot your phone as you normally would. Flash a 2.2 kernel and a 2.2 modem and try to flash. Its seems like you might have some Ginger Ghost left from gingerbread rom and its causing conflict coming back to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Are you able to get in download mode? If so you'll be ok.

go into download mode and odin to stock

you will use same files but different key combination to get into download mode...

That key combination is vol up+power for download mode...at least I'm pretty sure.

that is the problem though. I can get to download mode. I can go back to stock. I can download the root file. I can go to recovery . ....but I can not load it. red typing comea up when I try to reinstall packages and it says It cant install from sd. how can I obtain root if I cant load it from recovery? Can I use odin for your music rom? I just need root. Killing myself trying to figure this out.

Did you put the update.zip on the root of your SD. or in some other file.?

That is also my suspicion. You probably don't have the update.zip in the main directory of your phone's sd card. If its not there, you can simply transfer it back in via usb...

that was it. i had a file called rootupdate.zip and i thought that was the one but i guess it wasnt because nothing was happening. so i looked again in my external sd and still had the original update.zip file, transferred it and it worked. happily rooted again! thank you guys for your help. maby i should delete this thread now.

Instead of rooting JFD and flashing CWM just flash a voodoo+stock kernel. you'll have cwm faster than rooting then getting cwm

Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I just really need some help...
I just recently flashed my galaxy to JP6 and installed voodoo and everything was running fine. I then wanted to root my phone and tried Chainfires solution from here on this forum. It bricked my phone and I had to flash back to JM8.
I am now running JM8 but when I go to flash JP6 it says fail and wont let me?
I also tried flashing JMP and my phone screen went green halfway through and stopped flashing.
Any ideas why I cant flash to froyo anymore?
Is it because I still have voodoo installed?
If so how do I delete it? I've tried following th instructions from curios google page but I couldn't figure it out.
The error in odin reads "Can't open the serial(COM) port"
Any info on this would be greately appreiciated!
Thanks

Hey,
My guess is it's your recovery version. You need to boot to recovery mode and see whether the version is 2e or 3e. 3e won't allow you to flash unsigned updates.
Also, make sure you put a 'disable lagfix' folder inside your voodoo folder on the internal SD card. That may also be an issue.
Good luck!
I can currently only get onto download mode with my phone, I used to be able to get into recovery mode using the 3button technique but I no longer can.
I'm pretty sure it's voodoo that is causing me my problems, is there any way I can disable/un-install voodoo with only going into download mode?

Not that I know of mate, you need access to the drive so you can pop a folder named 'disable lagfix' insude your /voodoo folder. If you can get into download mode, you should be able to use Odin to reflash a ROM, I think you need to tick 're-partition' though. I've never flashed a SGS with Odin (yet haha), so would pay to do some more reading. I do know that it is the only way to restore your phone to absolute stock, which I think I would be doing. Then you can start again!
Good luck!

When the phone goes into this loop it cant stop unless I take the battery out, after doing that I try and flash the stock 1 again and it shows the loadscreen and then goes into the loop again. I need urgent help please... I think I may have done some things wrong... Dont know what to do to get my phone just back to the way it was after I updated to 2.2.

So you get into download mode. And you flash stock , but it still shows the fish logo? Just to clarify
No it does the same except it doesn`t show the fish logo, am I maybe flashing the wrong file or not flashing correctly at all?

Yes? So you can get easily into the download and recovery mode right? Try to flash some other kernel maybe. fugumod, cf root, speedmod or something .
What rom are you on and what are you trying to flash?
I am on froyo that I downloaded through kies, so now I tried to root my phone with fuguroot when this happened. Isnt there a way to go back to the stock froyo and try flashing fuguroot from there. Isn`t fuguroot and fugumod the same? Sorry for all these qeustions im new

Fuguroot is just for rooting, not an actual kernel
Fugumod is a full kernel with which you can run your phone
And how did you flash fuguroot ? And where did you get the stock kernel?
Cuz right now I think you flashed a gingerbread kernel on your froyo rom after you rooted with fuguroot.
And the way back if you killed your rom. As long as you are able to get inside the download mode you can flash a full rom 3 parts (maybe with pit and repartition)
I can only get into download mode, recovery mode only shows load screen and hangs. Do I need fugumod to use fuguroot because the rooting wasnt successful thats what im struggling with. I only want to root my phone so I can use one of the lagfixes, dont know which one yet, can you maybe recommend a route for me to take
I flashed fuguroot using the .tar files in that thread throught odin, adding the file to pda and preesing start. It says it completed successfully but when it resets it wont stop.

Can you please answer me where you got your stock kernel from ? The one you flashed AFTER fuguroot? Then we can move further.
And also you dont need fugumod even though its a very good kernel. But not sure about the froyo version. First, WHAT did you flash after fuguroot?

So as I said, you flashed a gb kernel on a froyo rom. You need a froyo kernel. I have no idea where there are froyo stock kernels. For that you need to google or search here on xda.
or you can try the froyo versions of the kernels I wrote you a post up.
Ok thanks i will try that, will get back to you if i'm struggling

If no luck while searching stock kernels you can try this http://fugumod.org/zImage.2.7.tar <<< fugumod full kernel for froyo
or from here speedmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
or voodoo or some cf root. really no idea where the stock kernels are
EDIT: that one you found, I dont know, and no idea if it will work. But if you wanna go custom. Try rather the kernels I posted up. (now I hope you have the I9000 too : )
Ive flashed a stock kernel that I found and it hanged at the loadscreen, after that tried flashing fugumod and it`s been hanging on fish logo for about 10 minutes already. Will keep it going a while to see if something happens.
I can however, get into recovery mode now. Is there something I can do from there?

You can try to do a factory reset from the recovery first.
I kinda hope you flashed a kernel for froyo this time. And flashing kernel over kernel and also gb. It might break your rom too. Depends on what the kernels are doing and applying.
If everything fails
Since you know how ot use ODIN if this doesnt work. I think you should try a whole new rom install. Either the one for your country as it is froyo. Or maybe try out the whole new shiny GB

Well I have no idea what rom you had before. From which country and csc you have. Also why are you trying to flash froyo if there is gingerbread?
And I guess the flashing of those custom kernels I wrote you didnt help?
Probably .
But if it fails flash via Odin stock Eclair 2.1 with pit 512 and repartition checked is my get out of jail card .

Hi there,
I had the issue that after apllying FuGus kernel, the phone kept looping in the loading phase (showing the battery symbol) and doing something (busy indicator). Nevertheless, I just switched it off (this worked) and installed the original kernel. Since then, everything works fine.
As I am not allowed to post answers in the dev branches --> @nikademus: Thanks a ton!

3 combos buttons work ?
Vol down+home+power on/off ?
Vol Up + home+ power on/off ?
if yes, try to flash the correct rom for I9000M
If you can get into download mode, and Odin sees your phone, then it is very unlikely that you bricked it.
Just flash Darkys ressurection or stock Samsung ROM from Odin.
ok installed darkys, now all phone does is flash galaxy i9000 screen
managed to get past that screen and back to recovery mode, and still d/l mode, trying EZBASE now as i was getting as far as colour S then bursts of vibrations
UPDATE:
stuck on boot loop now, still can access recovery and d/k mode, after trying to install EZBase. is their any other siggestions.
pref, instructions and files for re-loading stock firmware for australia on it, if memory calls had 2.2 of eclair
still no luck people, any further advice please
I just had the same issue with my i9000m. Download the fireware I9000UGJL2.exe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
It fixed my issue instantly. Then go to that kitchen rom website and create your own ROM. My phone has never been faster. GPS works very good, way better than before. Even cell service is 100000000000 times better....
ok, good news is i have it working stock rom and rooted, got most aps back on, now my issue is, i cant install clockwork recovery from rom manager, i tried it via odlin and got the screen of phone and pc and the exclamation mark. can some1 please help out as to how i can get clockwork recovery mod installed.

ok thanks, what should i flash then, or how can i update to 2.2 or 2.3 without loosing files and apps ?
Man you should not try to flash things when you don't understand them.
For this moment you tried to flash a kernel that is for a gingerbread rom (JVB, android 2.3.3) on your Eclair 2.1. Don't you think you should read a bit more before flashing everything on your phone?
Go to the official rom thread and follow the guides to flash a gingerbread(2.3.3) or Froyo(2.2) rom
Ok ill put this as plain and as simple as i can
1. I am new to flashing
2. I asked how to do it, as after all this is a q&a section
3. I feel my questions hvae not been answered correctley
so i shall explain again and this time links may help
1. I want a kernal that will give me recovery options
2. I do not want to loose anything on the phone
3. I want to upgrade to 2.3
so i would like links please or someone who can take the time to write a quicvk step list telling me what to do.
You really need to go to main thread and all info is there, it would take ages to talk you out of this...its all out there, seek and you shall find, its tough love

[Q] Galaxy S i9000 softbricked; won't enter recovery or reflash from download mode

Similar to Masterslackers issue.
The phone was originally a stock Optus Éclair 2.1. About 6 months ago I decided to customize the i9000 with a custom Froyo 2.2.1 Rom (Doc's Rom Docs_XWJS3_Wipe-v9_1) from “The ROM Kitchen”. It worked really well and was much faster and responsive..
Yesterday, I decided to look at a move to Gingerbread and cook another ROM @ the ROM Kitchen, this time a Gingerbread 2.3.4 iteration.
The phone was rooted so I used Rom Manager to get into recovery mode where I could flash my new, Doc's JVR_No_Wipe-v8-00-08-22-10-09-4e6a8e4e86718.zip Rom.
All seemed to go well, but after the Flash, as the phone booted the first screen became filled with 100s of random coloured lines, then it transitioned to the normal Samsung start animation, but soundless.
After booting, I noticed that I no longer had a notification bar where battery, time, signal strength etc. was normally displayed atop the screen. I tried several different launchers to see if that was the issue, but to no avail. I tried to enable the notification bar using Go Launchers gesture setting (no go)
I tried rebooting the phone over and over, the notification bar would not return.
I was starting to lament my decision to flash when the following occurred.
I tried to re-enter recovery mode via ROM Manager to install a different ROM, but the phone bypassed it and then hung @ the Samsung I9000 logo screen. I then had to power the phone off before it would reboot into its UI. I could no longer reach recovery mode by any means.
Because I was getting nowhere and I had read that after flashing a new rom, root would often be lost, so I tried rerooting with "XXJVP-Complete-Rooting-Package" from
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s-on-android-2-3-4-xxjvp-firmware/ This also failed but it has also left me with a soft bricked phone.
The phone will not boot up or boot into recovery now, however It would still boot into (3 button) download mode.
I have tried various versions of Odin from v1.0 to v4.28 to ReFlash the phone back to life but with no success yet.
Using Odin, the phone hangs with no sign of progress and reports the following when left for 30minutes or so.
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
Anyone have any suggestions that might help to get the phone back.
Thanks, TeZ
So you didn't flash stock gingerbread before flashing custom rom? so you should first flash stock jvr and do hard reset after booting. Then you are safe to flash cwm capable kernel and custom rom.
For the odin problems, maybe you have kies running in background? Kill all kies processes and try again.
And I'd suggest reading all guides found in romkitchen thread..it saves lots of trouble. Hope that can fix your phone

Agree with above post, if you have Klies on your pc/laptop uninstall it, and re download the drivers, i have a good 2.3.4 tutorial and root 2.3.4 tutorial, both with Odin, let me know if interested. Also if you have heimdall installed then uninstall it also.
After you unistalled Kies (or at least stop it) and installed the drivers , pick a stock rom with bootloader from Ramad collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 .

Thanks for the info, running out of time today, will try for tomorrow
When moving from a froyo (2.2) rom to gingerbread, (2.3), you need the gingerbread bootloaders or you'll get all sorts of crap when turning on your phone (ie what you have).
Use odin to flash back to froyo, or flash a gingerbread firmware that comes with bootloaders. (I would recommend going back to froyo first to make sure everything is ok, since flashing bootloaders is a bit risky, as messing it up can permanently brick your phone)

Ok, here's where I'm at:
For the sake of simplicity I will detail what gave positive results rather than a tirade of what didn't.
Uninstalled Kies, rebooted
As instructed, went to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
downloaded: Odin v1.82
downloaded: Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Australia and New Zealand)
XWJVN/XXJVQ/XSAJV5/Sbl (CSC: XSA): Download (150 MB) (Build date: Sun Jul 10 11:30:54 KST 2011)
Loaded up Odin and followed instructions.
Flash went ahead as normal and I now have a working phone again, thanks to you DSGE, I'm a very happy man
So I now have Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed and running.
My only issue's now is, that.
1. Half my apps dont work now or force close even after a reinstall.
2. Some apps won't install at all IE; my fav launcher; Go Launcher
3. I no longer have root access so Rom Manager and Titanium backup wont work.
4. My Backup Pro, works after I rewrote the correct path to the External Sd, but do I want to do that just yet? and just how much data should I reinstate so I don't corrupt the new system?
What should I do now?
Install busybox?
do a hard reset?
Flash a different Rom that will work for me?
Thanks so very much for all the good advise.
Cheers
First root the phone, then either a different rom, or format system and re install 2.3.3 or which ever u just installed, i think ure apps are not working due to the phone needing a wipe/reset and cache cleared from clockwork recovery

Seems to relate to 2.1 to 2.2.1 didn't see any mention of 2.3.3. I'm afraid I'll stuff the phone if I use the old root files.

[Q] Can't seem to get any ROMS to work (reboot problem)

Okay I posted this thread because I didn't want to hijack someone elses anymore than I did.
I recently got a Samsung GT-I9000, I believe it's the international though I can't be 100% sure. I tried doing a few simple ROMS like CM7-9, Devil, Dmore, etc but nothing seems to work. I can use Odin and Heimdall just fine, but I can't seem to use adb to actually get into my device. I can get into download mode and CWM Recovery, but I can't seem to get any flashes to go through, any help?
I've managed to get it past the GT-I9000 stage and it goes into an android breaking out of concrete bootimage, but then it just loops. Also The GT-I9000 picture is perfect, but the bootimage color is all skewed, does this mean anything?

I am not sure what you are doing wrong. You need to install the correct kernal first and then the ROM. You may want to watch YouTube video of GT-I9000 rooting and flashing the ROM step by step video.

This seems to be a wrong kernal. Or try to take out the battery for a minute or so, then put it back and turn on the phone, this should help. If not check the kernal requirements and re install the ROM.

Well I've installed ROMS and Kernals a million times on my Captivate, but I can't seem to get it to work on the I9000.

I just flashed a good stock kernal, and it's rebooted. It has the normal Galaxy S Bootimage and it's playing the music (first sound I've had from it) but never makes it past that, it waits there for about a minute and then reboots. I can get into the recovery (Android system recovery <3e>) but it's not CWM. When in recovery it says
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/VIA/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.

Go to "ramad" thread and a rom from there and flash it with Odin (in PDA only)
that will restore your Phone or download "darky 10.1 resurrection rom" also flashed with Odin.
If u don't know how to flash with Odin then search Google writing "flash with Odin" there are utube video guides

Ramad's thread is where I got the ROM + Kernal + Pit. I tried searching for darky's rom, I can find the rom but no kernal. Any luck? All of the links are outdated
After I do the ROM from Ramad's I get the below, it reboots twice then I get the error about the CSC, then it reboots with the galaxy s boot with sound, stays there for a few then just reboots constantly, playing the boot with sound.

Bar goes a quarter of the way, phone reboots
Go to darkyrom.com and find this rom darky rom extreme 12.2 this link is up and working.it's jvq rom but that doesn't matter as long as the phone boots up.after that u can flash any rom from the phone cwm.
If this doesn't fix it,then try with pit.file and tick re-partition.
Get the pit-file from "ramad"
Are u trying to flash from 3'recovery on your phone?? This can not be done
U need to flash using ODIN,it's a samsung flashing tool.
Before u can flash from your phone,u need cwm recovery.
Go to cf-root kernel and find a kernel that matches your firmware and flash it with ODIN,then u have custom recovery.
First time flashing with odin, google "flash with odin" there is video guides,easy to follow
I can get CWM on my phone, and I've flashed using ODIN but still no luck getting it not to constantly loop
was your firmware originally froyo or eclair...if so you may need to do a bootloader upgrade...been racking my brains all day thinking what the problem might be....heres a link to a very simple way to upgrade bootloader courtesy of nitr8

now he tells us!!! well a bootloader upgrade wont harm, but for gods sake make sure kies aint going to fire up half way through...and dont jog or disturb the phone during the flash cos if you mess up a bootloader flash its toast time!
Any good links for bootloaders? Lol, I can't seem to find any non-outdated ones.
