[Q] Noob Darky's ROM 10.2 flashing question - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running a stock XXJVQ firmware with Galaxian 2.1 kernel installed. I have a few backups to it made in CWM.
My question is - if I try to flash Darky's ROM, will I lose CWM and all the backups I made to my previous ROM?
Also - it says that I should have lagfix turned on before trying to flash Darky's ROM. I used the CF tool to convert all my rfs memory to ext4. I suppose that's the same as a lagfix, meaning that I already have my lagfix turned on, right?

your nandroid backups will remain intact, and just use cf tool to convert back to lagfix disabled(all on rfs) and you should be set to go....remember to follow darkys instructions to the word and then you should have no problems....happy flashing

Hi there,
I have the stock JVQ flashed via odin from samfirmware, I would really like to use this rom. However, I was following the steps documented on this link which was successful (I reverted back to the rom on this page just to make things simpler, and to ensure that there wern't going to be any glitches):
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-installing-stock-rom-gt-i9000-only.486/
and then started to follow this:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...rkys-rom-on-2-2-2-2-1-i9000-i9000m-only.1041/
However got to part 2, and the kernel flash didn't work (didn't get the dark core recovery part written on the recovery screen). So I clicked on the 'Alternate Method to Get Working Kernel' and the links dead!
Is there another method I can follow step by step, I currently have no root on the phone, but I can easily root using CF root if that helps, however previously I found no lagfix option! I'm completely a noob at this so any help would be appreciated...I want to try the rom that everybody's talking about
Many Thanks

If you flash 10.2 Resurrection Edition you don't have to worry about lagfix on or off!
It will give you a CLEAN, FAST phone.
From there you can install, tweak, modify to your hearts content!

As the above poster said, just flash Darky 10.2 RE instead. You can flash it with Odin regardless of the ROM you have before. Just follow the guide on this page:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/

does this rom work on m110s (korean I9000).. is there anyone who tested it?

CWM Recovery

Can someone do a simle step by step tutorial how to get the real CWMR to rooted RotoV4 custom rom? All Odin files and stuf or a update.zip than really works.
I have tryed few thinks posted here and ended up bricking my tab and had to flash Roto again and again.
I need this badly for flashing things!

Use the kernal by Chainfire (2.3 version) that provides CWM3. You flash the kernal with Odin, then you can use CWM3 to flash future roms and kernals.
He has careful instructions included. Let me know if you need anything else.

Where can i find this?
It is a thread in the devopment section. For anyone needing CWM3 this is the way to go!
I would recommend flashing Paulobriens MoDaCo kernel either with RFS or Ext4 file system.
You can get it in the Dev thread.
Use Odin without pit and repartitioning.
Read instructions because flashing might take two steps to install Cwm.
I like this kernel with Ext4 for speed.
Cwm recovery is fully functional.

Quoted for truth... Modaco's kernel has a flawless adaptation of CWM. I've successfully recovered from backups a number of times with it. So long as your tab is compatible then don't bother with other CWM kernels. It just works.

[Q] How downgrade Galaxy S to froyo from gingerbread?

My i9000 is on i9000xxjvb stock rom. I flashed modified kernal to make it rooted and cwm enabled. I am unable to move appear from phone memory to internal SD. An error message appears " failed to move application, not enough memory."
To get rid of this, i tried Hamsterbread 1.1 custom rom, but problem not solved. I used every method from hard reset to wipe cache, data and more. But nothing happened.
Now I want to downgrade to froyo. I don't know how to do this? Please, tell the procedure in detail and step by step. I belong to India. There is no 2.2.1 version available for India. Can I go for other regions versions? or I should stick with i9000ddjp6 which is latest verison for India. Thanks
i havnt tried downgrading. but i think you could try flashin back using odin with bootlooder froyo.
i live in india but use european firmware an see no problem
^^ Im not sure about this. I think you can just flash a Froyo ROM via CWM. I am not sure about this. It always makes sense to search around before you do either. Good Luck!
If you flash speedmod (or whatever froyo kernel you choose) through odin, then simply install whatever rom through cwm via zip file. The downgraded froyo rom doesn't need bootloaders, the gingerbread ones are backwards compatible. Tried it myself and it worked without a hitch.
Just flash any stock firmware through ODIN with pit and repartitioned tick and you are good to go.
Makes sense to open eyes and read the post that tells you how .Or even use the search button .

just download a stock froyo firmware and flash with odin. there are tutorials all over the place
just flash froyo kernel using odin and then enter clockwordmod install zip

[Q] Custom ROM with custom kernel, few questions.

Hi! I'm planning to install custom rom on my sgs gt-i9000 by Darky (either 9.5 or 10 RC).
But Darky uses DarkCore as kernel, and I want to use speedmod kernel (as I understood this one of the best kernels out there).
What is the right process to install this?
Flash the kernel via odin (PDA right?) the use Darky's Rom Configuration with "Skip Kernel" and then use recovry to install the ROM?
Also can I stay with my current modem which is I9000XXJPY? I really afaird to flash the modem (and CSC).
One last question is how to backup my current kernel/modem/csc/rom?
Also as I understood I need to backup /efs right? Is there something else I need to backup (my contacts are saved on the sim card so I dont mind loosing those and I dont mind loosing my current applications and their settings).
Thanks a lot!
if you are not rooted, get rooted !!
download CF-Root, or speedmod kernel, flash it through ODIN and make a full nandroid backup. Also backup efs just in case your IMEI gets corrupted.
i have used speedmod kernel with older versions of darkys roms, but voodoo kernel is recommended.. But you can try which ever kernel you like, providing you know how to fix if something goes wrong.
you can skip modem in the darky app if you are happy with your current modem.
and once you install cf-root or speedmod you will be rooted, so download 'titanium backup' from the market and that will back up all your apps
1 last thing, i cannot emphasise this enough.. be sure you know how to fix a bricked phone before going ahead with the flash. i myself - along with many others - have had 'issues' with darkys roms.... I am not saying you will, but be careful and always have a current backup !!
DarkCore is based on Voodoo kernel right?

Thanks!
yes it is
and read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
if you ever get stuck in a bootloop, boot into recovery do a factory reset.
if you have serious issues, boot into recovery, do a factory reset along with formatting, cache / data / system, then re flash.
if you have even more serious issues, then you need to boot into download mode and flash a 3 file stock rom with 512 pit and re-partition checked.
thats all there is to fixing a bricked phone. Always make sure 3 button combo works before taking on any sort of flashing.
Thanks a lot!!

question before i flash again.

well, i have had some issues flashing my phone to 2.3, and it is currently on continuum v5.5 working fine for a few versions. so i don't want to rush into anything and mess it up again, but i want to try another rom. im a little confused to what all i need to do to get the new phoenix rom on coming from a talon kernel.
thanks!
Just use ODIN ONE CLICK STOCK (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 and then place the rom of ur choice and flash it in CWM!! tell me if u need anything else
Odin back to stock and follow instructions in the OP for the Pheonix thread.
You need to verify that your current installed kernel is compatible with your new rom of choice.
If not:
1. Find one that is compatible, install it via odin without rebooting - then boot to recovery and install the zip file in cwm.
OR
2. Odin one click to stock and go from scratch.
If going from GB to GB rom then the important thing is the kernel compatibility or you will likely go into bootloop. Other than that wipe, reset and install.

CWM Help?

So, just switched out my captivate because my warranty was still in effect. Rooted etc etc. But I remember installing CWM with rom manager to begin flashing my first rom back in the day.
But anywho, I have installed ROM Manager, clicked to flash CWM but when I go into recovery (vol + - & Power) All I get is the samsung one. (Blue text) and I only have the options to reboot, install packages, clear cache or wipe sd card.
Can anyone offer any advice?
^ Try reinstall packages. U may have to do it twice.
Gotta install the update.zip with install packages but you have signed bootloaders if you're on stock froyo. Odin to 2.1 and install cwm from there. You can find the update.zip for cwm on the cappy forums and just put that on the root of your internal memory to avoid using rom manager. Don't even have to root to flash.

Hmmmm do you have the stock odin pit file/pda or is the old school odin where you couldnt even do that shoot you right back to 2.1?
^ If u want to go back to Stock Eclair...use the first link in my signature below.
I typically use Odin jf6 one click rev0 from designgears. Its still on the forums I believe but might be dead link. Just make sure it has the pbl and sbl. If you are worried I can upload the one I have used for the past 9 months without fail( but ffailure is always possible, just be sure to follow directions and you should be alright. ) alternatively there is a guide to get to stock jh7 on the forums using the Odin that you have to manually select files for. Should be an easy search. I believe people consider this safer for the newer builds but I used oneclick on my 1010 tons of times and have used it once on my 1012 no problems.
Sorry for the long post hope I helped
