Hi,
This is my second time flashing a rom. I own a rogers captivate and I rooted and flashed to Darky's v7.0 (2.2 Froyo) NO WIPE.
I want to change the rom to Doc's ROM JPY V6.2 CE.
All i know is that I have to copy the .zip folder in sd card folder and flash it using rom manager. Do I have to do the same to flash with this one?
I have read all over the forum and I read that I am supposed to flash back to stock 2.1 and then flash again to a different rom(any other rom). Someone also told me that if I have a NO WIPE version of rom installed then I don't need to flash back to 2.1. Is this true? Can someone please confirm this?
1. Should i just download the rom and just flash through rom manager(if yes, then skip q#2) or change to stock 2.1 first?
2. If i have to change back to stock 2.1, i think I have to use something called ODIN. Can someone explain me the process please? and I dont know where to get stock rogers 2.1 rom. I looked all over the forum.
3. I do not want to overclock my phone cpu. The main post on DOC's rom says that I have to flash a kernel through CWM after first boot. I dont know what CWM means or how to use it. Any instructions?
4. Should I install the Wipe version or the NON-wipe version? and what is the difference? I like changing roms once in a while and I might change it again but I dont know which one I should use.
5. Is this a 2.1 eclair rom or 2.2 froyo? How do i figure it out without installing?
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these questions.
Thanks a lot.
I have always just booted into recovery mode with CWM and flash the zip that way as it works for any rom i have tried so far. I have rom manager but never used it to load a rom since CWM works flawlessly everytime for me.
The simple answer is if your changing ROMs (i.e. Cognition to Perception) - should flash back to stock then load the new ROM.
If your just updating an existing ROM and it has the "no-wipe" version? Then you should be able to run the *.zip provided following the instructions given (most likely through ROM Manager/CWM)
Hello.
I currently have a 2.2 galaxy s firmware witch i got using kies. I added the voodoo lagfix kernel to it.As i have read in the description, clockwork mod doesn't work with voodoo, so i'm stuck using odin for updating.
So, for the question: Is it safe to upgrade to 2.2.1 from Kies? And, moreover, how can I flash a costum rom like darky's or cyanogen? (i'm not sure about them).
P.S. How can I come back to stock 2.2 and delete the Voodoo kernel
Please help,
Thanks
create a folder within the Voodoo folder called "disable_lagfix" then restart the phone, it should convert back to RFS from EXT4 and return the rom to normal (ie. no lagfix applied)
once this is done, download whatever rom you want (JPY is the latest uk OFFICIAL relese i believe) or create your desired rom within Doc's Kitchen....
So, for the question: Is it safe to upgrade to 2.2.1 from Kies?
Yes otherwise it would not be offered by Samsung .
And, moreover, how can I flash a costum rom like darky's or cyanogen? (i'm not sure about them).
READ each post for instructions .

You should be SURE before flashing custom ROM. Read and collect as much information from their thread. This will minimize the risk for you to repeat same problems others have had...

Hello,
if I am going to flash a minor custom ROM update, do I need to remove the lagfix (Gingerbread ROMs)
Also the same question when changing themes
Thank you in advance!
if you are updating a ROM through CWM you should be fine.
if you are changing ROM then you must remove lagfix.
Themes - you dont need to worry about lagfix when flashing themes.
hi everyone, I use to look for information here and now, since I haven't found an answer was time for asking
I´ve installed a JVK version of gingerbread (using Odin), I wanted do have a recently version and I mounted a JVB version with a touchwiz updated.. after that I wanted to have a rom from romkitchen so for that I had to update the "Wordclock mod" to a version that "accepts" zip files to install.. and the problem is that the files that I found were CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS for the jvb version and CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS for the jvk (which being a jvp works with the jvb) (in this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ) which basically have removed the boot sounds.. so what I wanted to do is to reenable boot sounds. So, with this I´ve got some questions
Is it possible to update the WCM from the gingerbread version from an app or how can I update it directly from the gingerbread rom so I will have the bootsounds and also update the WCM so I can install any zip file.
(Actually I use this gingerbread version as a basis to a have a clean rom to install my "modem.bin" file and then I update the WCM so I can Install the zip rom that I would like to have )
(actually the question would be: how can I update WCM to a version that allows me to install zip files without disabling bootsounds
Or, simply, how can I reenable bootsounds in a JVS version of gingerbread 2.3.5)
thank you for your help
Hi
I just tried upgrading via Kies from my current old config, but it advised that my phone couldnt be upgraded... The current set-up is (as per Kies):
PDA: JPO
Phone: JPP
CSC: JPO (VOD)
From Settings, it says:
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband version: I9000XXJPP
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #14
Build: FROYO.XXJPO
I want to upgrade to the latest best featured stable software, custom or stock, that provides good battery life and best features. I'm not averse to custom kernels as I understand they provide cool additional features such as BLN and optimised audio etc. What would be the best latest ROM/Kernal set-up to provide what I need?
I originally flashed the above via Odin, so I'm comfortable doing that. With respect to the Speedmod lagfix I have installed, do I need to disable that? I can see a disable option to disable in CWM.
Is there a simple step by step that I can follow to get the latest software on without screwing up my phone! I've backed up some apps using Titanium Backup and have my SMS /contacts backed up to SD, so I'm ready to rock and roll...
Thanks in advance

Most devs include the steps you should take to install their rom on their relative threads. i would recommend Darky's rom or Milky if you want something very stable and with up to date software.
i doubt you'll have any trouble installing them.
Good luck!
by the way, you should disable any lagfixes before installing a new rom, or use the kernel cleaning tool.
Have you tried the stock firmwares from Samfirmware.com?...

It's usually better to disable lagfix before flashing a new rom. You should first ensure that you're on a stock rom. If you're not, flash the odexed JPO rom to go back to stock. From there, you'd want to upgrade to a gingerbread rom. Download a gingerbread rom that has bootloaders and flash via odin. After that, you can easily flash newer roms like JVR, JVS or JVT. JVS and JVT are newer (2.3.5) but have more bugs than JVR (2.3.4).

Hi
Thanks for your note. Can you clarify the process for me (I'm not great at doing this stuff!)... I think I quite like the sound of Milky's ROM/Kernal. So following your advice above...
1. Enter CWM and disable the lagfix
2. Download and flash odexed JPO. I still have the JPO file that I put on my phone via Odin (named: JPO_JPO_U_JPP - about 280mb in size). Is this the right file? If so, how do I flash it? (am guessing via Odin but in which section (PIT/PDA/PHONE/CSC) and what do I put in the rest?)
3. Download Milky's (assuming I want Milky's ROM and Kernal etc)
4. Install via Odin
5. Restore all apps etc
6.
If you can help clarify my (mis)understandings and add in any steps I have missed, it would be really helpful.
Thanks

2) I don't know if that's the stock one, but you can find the stock JPO from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
3) Since Milky is based on JVR, it would be safer to flash the stock JVR rom with bootloaders via odin first, before you flash milky's rom. You can find the stock JVR here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195335
Then, flash Milky's rom, but check to make sure there are no other special instructions for that rom.
All the other steps seem to be fine. So, basically, you flash 3 times. First time is to go back to stock JPO, second time to go to stock JVR and third time to go to modified JVR, which is Milky's rom.
Thanks all for your advice.
I took the plunge yesterday and installed Milky's without installing the stock ROM's (not the right thing to do I know!). I did disable the lagfix and reset the ROM to stock within CWM.
Anyway, luckily it all went really well (following Milky's detailed instructions with the package) and I was on the new software quickly.
The phone is set up nicely now, so I'm pleased it went so smoothly.
One question - I understand I can fiddle around with the voltage and processor speed. Is there an optimum level to maximise battery life without performance suffering?
Thanks again!

If you want to overclock, it's pretty safe to use apps like Tegrak Overclock to go to 1200MHz. The extra 200MHz will not really affect battery life. Also, you could check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250442
