[Q] How to downgrade speedmod kernel from K13e to K13c

Hi All,
Reason for this question is that, first of all I wanted to root my newly bought SGS GT-I9000 (2.2 DDJP6) So, flashed speedmod kernel K13E (latest). Later, when I wanted to install MIUI rom, as per the instruction one need to flash K13C kernel.
But, whenever I try to flash SM - K13C kernel on top of K13E, I tend to soft-brick my phone (BSOD). I need to once again flash K13E to get back my SGS to work.
So, in order for me to get on to MIUI rom, I have two options...
1) Downgrade K13E to K13C kernel. And continue to flash MIUI rom.
2) Restore my kernel to stock kernel first. Then start flashing K13C and continue to flash MIUI rom.
Can somebody please suggest, which option would be best and highly feasible?
Thanks in advance for the responses
Prabhu.

i dont think it matters what version of speedmod you are on, its only so you have CWM to flash the cyanogen kernel.
but anyway if you want to downgrade just download the one you need k13c and flash it thru CWM or ODIN and it will overwrite your previous kernel

I did try to flash K13C on top of K13E. Odin just froze at <ID:0/022> zImage step.
Please find the snapshot attached.

how long has it been like that. ?? try to find a CWM version and see if that works.
or just flash miui with your current kernel

If u want to get on miui, follow the guide on theandroidsoul.com/net.....good to have a clean start with ezbase2.0

I tried the CMW version of speedmod k13c and was successful. But, while flashing the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar from odin again, I got stuck in the below attached odin screen.
Is there any CWM version for the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar? What is that I am doing different?

From Stock Froyo to a RomKitchen Gingerbread ROM

Hi, So I have a Australian Galaxy S i9000 with stock 2.2 DTJP5.
I have finally decided to try a RomKitchen Gingerbread ROM, but I am not sure exactly what the entire process is.
Do I:
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Flash Gingerbread Bootloaders with Odin
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
or perhaps:
-Flash a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders using Odin
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
I cant find instructions that go into enough detail for the current Base ROM's on the RomKitchen Generator though, like,
-Which Base ROM should I choose- JV5, JV9 or JVO?
-Exactly what bootloaders and where from, do I get to flash first?
Also, is it easy to get back to my current stock, so I can update when Gingerbread is released officially?
Hoping someone has had some success and can help me out, Thanks!

Ok, now you have Froyo and you want to have GB.
So you'll need GB bootloaders. I would do it like this:
- wipe/format your internal sd
- Put the Kitchen-ROM on your internal sd
- Flash the Gingerbread-bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089989
- Go into recovery and flash the Kitchen-ROM
I've used the bootloader to install CM7, works very fine and downloading only the bootloader goes much faster than a ~200MB complete firmware from samfirmware.com or out of the XDA-forum here.

go with installing the stock gingerbread rom first..it is always safe. better safe than sorry
what i usually do...its a lengthy one...flash stock gingerbread, select a kernel with CWM, place the ROM in SD or EX-SD and install thru update.zip option.
which base are you looking for? JVO has got many themes now. and so does JVP.
its always a good option to check whether you have 3e recovery enabled!

Thanks!
What I ended up doing:
1) Flashed a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders (JVP from samfirmware.com) using Odin
2) Flashed this kernel [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519] with Odin
3) Used ClockworkMod to install the RomKitchen ROM
4) Did ext4 conversion, root, etc from ClockworkMod
5) Also managed to get a custom boot animation working

Good, and if everything went fine, you won't have any problems.

Is it OK to flash a new non-wipe RomKitchen ROM with a different kernel to the current kernel?

yes definitely, but remember to disable any lagfix if the new kernel does not support lagfix

New Roms

sorry for the newb questions, but i am finding way to much cross references for rooting and unlocking a bell vibrant could someone help me out I would like to put on a new rom pls.

1. Go to this thread and download JVT. Flash JVT with Odin and make sure re-partition is checked.
2. Go to this thread and download the CF-Root kernel for JVT. Flash the kernel with Odin
3. You should now have stock 2.3.5 with root and CWM installed. Reboot into recovery and use CWM to flash whatever custom ROM you want.

thanks very much just finished and it worked out very well.

2.3.5 and 2.3.6 why not jvu semaphore kernel 2.5.0 and @ oserx o.7.1 rum is the best and fastest rom I had

[Q] i9000m 2.3.3 to ICSSGS RC3.1

I've been doing a little reading and it appears some people have problems flashing ICS roms to the i9000m.
Can I simply just flash the ICSSGS RC3.1 rom to my phone, or is there a bit more involved in getting this Galaxy S version on an ICS Rom.
Also would love to hear from people who have the Canadian i9000m and who have upgraded to ICS, and what their experiences have been like.
Thanks

Is your phone rooted, if not you'll need to start with that.

Hi,
I have a Bell I9000M, which is just the international version I9000 with an "M" slapped on to the end of the model name, so you're in the right forum
It's pretty simple to flash to ICS from 2.3.3. All you really need is CWM recovery installed. If you're coming from pure stock 2.3.3 for the I9000M, then here are the steps for flashing ICS:
1. Flash to any Gingerbread firmware that's compatible, I usually go for something like JVT 2.3.5 which can be found in the stock firmware collection thread, so in these steps I'll just assume you're going to use JVT.
2. Flash Chainfire's kernel (make sure you flash the right CF kernel version for your stock firmware) over the stock JVT. This will root and install CWM to your phone.
3. Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (hold volume up, home, and power while starting the phone).
4. Flash onecosmic's ICS ROM or teamhacksung's ICS ROM (or whatever ICS ROM you want) through CWM recovery. Both of these ROMs listed can be found in the I9000 development section.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I've run into a bit of a problem. Odin will recognize my phone when it is on because I have usb debugging enabled, but it won't recognize it in download mode. I soft bricked it and was barely able to recover it with the one click unsoft brick app.
I've tried different ports and restarting my pc. I did come across a rooted kernel that would work with my phone, but I can't flash it because odin won't recognize the phone in download mode. So it seems like I'm a little stuck now. heimdall does detect the phone in download mode though.
any ideas

try to download the drivers to your computer and make sure that there is no Kies program activity running in the background in task manager, then after that try to go into download mode and plug your sgs back

I am almost in the same position. I have 2.3.3 all stock.
Firmware version - 2.3.3
Baseband version - I9000UGKG3
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7 I9000UGKG3
Buildnumber - gingerbread.GKG3
So i need to go to 2.3.5 using JVT.

do not forget to backup your rom and WIPE everything . (not wiping usually causes bootloops and it may even bug the phone so you cant go to recovery and you'll have to use odin again ) .
I tried ICSSGS RC4.2 and it kinda sux ,in my opinion use Dark Knight 3 and flash Dark Knight 4 to fix the bugs from both roms (read rom's topic) . Very stable and not that memory hungry

[Q] Questions- CWM, Kernel, and ROM flashing order

I'm trying to flash a custom ROM + kernel and I'm running into some problems that I need tips for:
The main problem is that I can't easily flash Clockworkmod to do a backup. I'm on ZSJV6, and apparently this has 3e Recovery, which does not allow simply flashing from ROM Manager. Now I read that the answer to this is to flash the custom kernel CF Root- but what I plan to end up with is Darkyrom + Semaphore kernel, and Semaphore has CWM in it anyway. Do I have to flash CF Root -> Darkyrom -> Semaphore in that order?
Second question- If yes, which version of CF Root? I'm on official ZSJV6, and I see no JV6 version.
Third question- Do kernel versions and ROM versions have to match? I see the latest version of Darky is based on JW1, but Semaphore 2.5 is based on JVU. Can they be used together, and if so, does anything need to be done to make them play nice together?
Fourth question- How is JVU newer than JW1?

first - there is an easy enough way to skip the recovery. use this guide and rom first (cant link to it bugger)(go to darkys rom site. look for gti9000. then [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000. that will put you on to darkys version of cwr. then flash the newer version of darkys rom to get to jv1 and after the semaphore kernal in recovery.
second - i have no idea. im guessing there the same.
3rd. i believe the kernel has to support the android version and the rom has to support the kernel(and vice versa) you can always try it anyway. if it boot loops just flash darkys 10.2 again to get back to basics.
4th - jvu is 2.3.6 and jw1 is 2.3.5 android
