Hello all,ive got a i9000 without 3 button combo and i heard it can be fixed by installing a kernel so...there's a kernel flasher that flashes (.tar) kernels(obviously)directly from the sd card i think its called SGS kernel flasher and im wondering if someone with download mode already could find a bit of time to see if it is safe since you could restore without loosing 200 hard spent cash.
if you can help click the link:http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...d-recovery-mode-in-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000/
(sorry if its wrong to post links :/)
i forgot to mention its a GT-I9000T since im from puerto rico
You could also get into download mode with adb or a jig.

That is correct, but you see im going to try really wierd stuff with my phone and i want to be able to back up m rom and restore it without the need of a pc since im rooted and have e2 recovery ind i cant enter recovery mode without 3 button combo.
-Edit:im really glad you replied tho..im desperate and constantly pressing F5 lol
i already try this and it works like a charm it really saves me..before i got super laggy froyo 2.2 im afraid to flash a new rom because i dont have a 3 button combo.. but now after using this i'm already in 2.3.4 and it really fast.. thanks for that method,. it really helps.. just read and follow the instruction and you will be fine.. it really helps..

Hi all,
I bought a second hand SGS and it has 2.2 froyo
How can i put it back to normal 2.1 android please?
i dont want root or anything...
can any1 help? ill put a few quid in your paypal if you can take the time to guide me through it?
Well, you could always just goto settings and initiate a factory reset... You'll lose root and revert back to the stock eclair 2.1 ROM.
where is that option?
i found sd card and phone storage and
internal sd card format option
i notice another option in privacy that says factory data reset. but that looks like it might be just personal data reset not full reset thingy,
if what your saying works i will be very happy!

Think about this for a second....a factory reset is somehow magically going to pull stock 2.1 out of .....where exactly?
the OP is going to have to Odin back to stock....plenty of info here on how to do this....
what is Odin?
the search functions are down at the moment so i cant search the forums
Maybe you can help mate? please!
Its laggying badly this 2.2

Why else would it be called FACTORY reset ? It would be the firmware provided with the phone, which would be eclair as opposed to the froyo build he received on a rooted second hand phone.
The option is in settings-> privacy-> factory data reset
You can't get Froyo without flash to a froyo ' factory' firmware. In this case, A beta firmware. Whenever you flash to a new firmware, you lost your old firmware completely.

yeah i guessed it wouldnt be that simple.
guys can you give me a clue?
im thinking this: see if im anywhere near.
download odin
connect phone to pc
restart holding the volume down, power and home
flash with original files - im having trouble finding these
will my samsung be 2.1 and non rooted after that?

1. Download odin,
2. Download the needed firmware files from Samsung firmwares,
3. Phone off. Vol down, menu, power
4. Add pit512/513 (can't remember which), pda, modem, csc in odin
5. Tick re-partition
6. Connect phone to pc
7. Click start and wait for your phone to restart
All done, This is just a quick and rough guide how to do it, there's a much better guide on this forum what to do and how
do you kno where the firmware files are exactly? i cant search the forums for the guide.. search function is down.
A quick look and you'll find 'forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596'
For firmwares, a quick Google 'samfirmware' you'll need to sign up to access the files in the firmware section That's if there not in the above link
the first one you must to do is download the firmware file through the internet,
then download the drives and odin and pit512 file,
and then install the drives ,then run the odin,select the re-partition,in pit,select the pit512,in pda,select the firmware which named with pda,in modem and csc is also select the firmware named with modem and csc,
shut down your phone then press vol- ,home ,power at the same time,you will see a android ,
connect your phone with the pc,
when the com is turn green ,press start.and wait..after you flash the firmware,you should format the sdcard and wipe your data..
thanks guys
i think ive sorted it, but still seem rooted somehow
is this the right firmware?
2.1-update1
basedband version I9000XXJM4
Kernel version
[email protected]#
Build number
ECLAIR.XWJM8
If thats all good! then thanks very much guys.. but root still looks iffy to me.
will this stop me from receiving updates from samsung? ie propper froyo when its out.
damn i just read that i think i should have used the 803pit and not the 512. is that right?

if you are trying to flash the leaked BETA froyo from Korea, yes you need the 803 pit

You can get the firmware here http://www.samfirmware.com/home.htm
Depending on what country you are in, there are diferent firmwares.
Download odin from that page aswell.
They also have a how to guide on how to flash with odin.
From my understanding you won't be getting Froyo OTA, you will be getting it via KIES. But with all the modding going on I doubt KIES will let you so you like everyone else here will have to get it installed via ODIN, no big deal at all . Just check back xda when froyo is in news for sgs

Will this also be applicable to me ? I have only rooted my phone. It's unrooted now... And I've not deviated from the stock firmware.
I advice you to check if the 3 Button Combo works on your Phone. If not, apply the 3 Button SBL Fix before messing with ROMs to help recover the device in case of a brick.

Check if your phone can go into download mode or not first.
Switch off the phone first. Then press volume down button the home key and the power button at the sam time and switch on the phone! See if you can go into download mode or not and take it from there.

from what I know you can root with out this thats only required if you want to flash new bootloaders or kernels as far as I am aware? or have I made a mistake here (not really been important to me as I have the download mode of course)

if you can falsh clockworkmod then I'd reccomend the voodoo kernel with lagfix once you have tried that you'll never go back makes the device soooooo much faster.
you have to be careful to disable it if you flash something else or if you want to upgrade via kies or so on but well worth the effort
the flashing process is a little scary first time as it will take upto 20minutes to convert (depending on how much crap you have installed) but if you back up using CWM first then you'll be fine one way or another. I also find darkyys recovery rom brilliant if you really screw things up (like forgetting to remove lagfix before you flash something new )

As has been said time and time again, you need to be able to go into Download and/or Recovery Mode to do any flashing with your phone, keep trying until you manage it, sometimes the buttons are tricky to hold down properly.
To get to download, turn the phone OFF, then hold down the up volume and the home button. While keeping those depressed, hold down the power button for four seconds, which is about the time it takes for the log screen to appear, then disappear or change. Continue holding down the volume up and home buttons for a few more seconds, then release them together. After a few seconds you should get the Android road sign.
If that doesn't work, experiment with different amounts of time, holding the buttons longer or shorter.
If it just doesn't work, then yes, it is Jig time as JJ said.
Thanks again guys for your help. what is the Jig solution.??????????.
Cheers
Antony.
super one klick will root your device or you can flash with odin a custom kernel with root in. (like supercurio's or hardcore's)
jig is a micro usb device that can bring your telephone in download mode when is dead!
hi to all thanks for all your help with my sgs.
cheers antony.
Hey Guys! Im going to explain how i got my self in this situation
I got my new Note 2 days ago and decided to root it at first. (KK4)
Which i did but not with CWM Manager so i used the InitialCFRootFlasher to get CWM Manager working.
Then i used Odin to flash the XLA4 on my device so i could get the RocketRom after that. But now when i want to go inte CWM Recovery mode to do a Nandorid backup i just get to the original recovery mode. And when i open CWM manager it says that i need a CF-Root V5.0 or newer.
What should i do? Really didnt know how to search for this so sorry if there already is a thread about this.
Please help me out guys
Dont wanna ruin my phone because i didnt know better
Thanks in advance!
Keep calm mate, don't worry.
I just wonder if your phone is properly rooted or not. If it is ok, you can download and flash CF-Root for LA4-v5.0 here http://download.chainfire.eu/140/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip
If not, you can read clearly this topic, thanks to CF to solve your problem:

If you have use PC odin to get LA4(and seems you did it), then simply, you have lost Root + CWM.
N LA4 is not necessary b4 Rocket ROM.
If above is true, you have just option to downgrade n Re root + CWM
Oh, didnt see the replies before i edited it, i solved the problem just like u described in ur post taycuong76
didnt scroll down enough to see that there was a CF-root for the LA4
thx anyway love to see the great support and that everybody wants to help even if there already is a thread about this. Just makes me more satisfied with switching from the toy iphone 4 to a real phone
Got rocketrom on my phone now, just amazing that there are so many custom ROMs to choose from
Thanks again guys
EDIT: "unEdited" my thread for anybody that find themselves in this sitauation
Just dont panic like i did
Okay, so ive been stupid.
I had MIUI installed, 2.4.20, and wanted to get rid of the triangle at boot. I followeda guide ( jayceooi. com/2011/08/10/how-to-remove-yellow-triangle-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-without-usb-jig-video/ ) that suggested a kernel fiddling, and i checked which one i had etc. I had DXLP7.
Anyhow, it wont stop booting up, i guess it gets in a loop. I can still access stock recovery and download mode. I've tried a few more kernels that i figured it must be, but with no luck. Atm i just wanna recover my phone.
Please help.

However, im really unsure of what rom to use, all the letters got me really confused. Now i've come to a 'i dont have anything to loose'-feeling, so im trying regardless of understanding the letters or not.

Don't worry,if u are on ics then flash a ics stock rom ,if on ginger then flash ginger if u are in a boot loop.
Search samfirmware.com for LP7 rom.u need register to dl. And password is samfirmware.com to extract the file.if u don't know how to flash with odin.search for insanity rom in i-9000 forum.look for ezbase rom .there is one of the best toturials for using Odin.but DON'T use this rom,it's a i9000(sgs) rom,u need a l9100 rom.
@lntratech also have stock rom for l9100(gs2).those are flashable with Odin .but is flashed in PDA only.
Hope this helps

thanks for your advie but flashing the speedmod kernel in ODIN onnly gives me a FAIL. =( gonna try a one click but thanks for the info about getting odin to run
so i tried odin one click and it freezes up when it wants to set partitions never even begins.... now odin seems like its freezing up cant even get a kernel flash to run
everything fails when i try to flash via odin! im frustrated as F**K
R u trying to flash the kernel ".tar" through Odin ??
U could try Heimdall instead of Odin.
Or if u have Root, use SGS Kernel Flasher by NELDAR from Google Play Store.
