Now sorry for posting, you probably get real annoyed with n00bs asking this all the time... But I was wondering for CM7 could I simply follow this guide-
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide when my phone is on 2.3 Official
Or would I need to go back to the froyo bootloader and do it from there...
Also I have used CM7 (LG Optimus One) for a long time and I am looking for a change i.e MIUI! If I'm on stock gingerbread could I just follow this guide-
http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/getting-started.php
As I would prefer to flash MIUI over CM7.
Thanks for your Help!
You can do either bud, but going from froyo ensures a clean installation with a clean bootloader, flash stock I9000XXJPU, then flash Speedmod Kernel k12c (froyo) make sure CM7 is on your internal SD card, boot into recovery (vol up + home + power) , mounts and storage, format system, data, cache and datadata, its always best to install a kernel cleaning script too but not essential, then flash CM7 and Viola! Let me know how you get on bud

Thanks mate, worked like a charm,
Just wondering is it worth flashing a different kernel (I ended up installing MIUI)...
I think I installed SpeedMod (whatever came with the EZBase Package).
Anyway what am I best to install?
Cheers

Your welcome bud I'd flash Glitch Sooooo quick and with OC ability, its perfect for CM7/Miui

Done! But after flashing MIUI my g-sensor is way out of whack. Playing games like teeter and MX-Moto they move straight to the left
Plus all fixes involve FROYO
Hey bud you need to use the terminal emulator on your phone and run this command
adb shell
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_Yamaha
Then make sure your phone is completely horizontal taking into account the little bump we have at the bottom of our phones, so you need to make it completely flat then press start, once done then reboot

I did that said it was successful but no change....
BTW I did by coping the files using root explorer out of darky's rom as miui doesn't have them but no change.

I've created a zip archive that can be flashed via Clockworkmod Recovery to replace the necessary files in /system/lib and /system/bin to flash a kernel built against T959UVJFD onto a newer build (thanks to eugene373 for the list of necessary files^_^).
Incase anybody is wondering... I've flashed this myself with no issues and bluetooth works fine.
Edit: A good example of this is flashing one of JAC's or kingklick's kernels onto the new OTA UVJI6 firmware .
Forgive the noob question, but will this allow us to flash Jac's XMOD kernels on a JI6 rom?
Nvm found the answer myself. For any other noobs wondering, the answer is yes. Duh
Thanks for posting this!
You're welcome.

Worked perfectly for me. Saw the other threads about this and just hadn't had time to give it a go but I am now running Jac's uv/oc/cf.

Can you describe the steps you took to flash this? I came from stock JFD (repartition and EFS clear checked) to JI6 (nothing checked) and then flashed the .zip with CWM and it worked fine.
Spoke too soon. I just flashed the zip without JAC's kernel because I forgot I deleted it from the phone after I installed JI6. So I pushed the 1.1 OCUV kernel to the phone, flashed it and it worked. Seems a little choppy though but I will give it a few minutes and maybe another reboot to see if it settles in. Thanks for the work.
Edit: Oh yeah, it's frikkin rippin now! Thanks
Thanks. I haven't quite decided to do this yet, and it helps to have an easier way to do it. I need to go search later, but anyone care to save me time and explain what the downsides are to reverting these libraries to earlier versions?
Didn't work for me...
I tried to flash using colockwork, got stuck at vibrant screen...
So you have to flash this and JAC's kernel at the same time? I'm a noob so please help me out...

Yes. Flash back support then BEFORE rebooting flash the kernel you want. Or use the all in one zip posted above.
Thanks...
Thank you guys for your help... I'm trying the all in one now...
So, just to be clear, from ji6, I reboot with clock work, flash old kernel support, when while still in clockwork, proceed to flash jac's kernel, right, then reboot? Or can reboot after applying old kernal support, then go crazy flashing kernels?

nice work. I'm curious.. forgive my ignorance but why is it that we can simply flash this through clockwork but cm7 and miui require an initial kernal before flashing the ROM?

dont quote me on this haha im not really sure but i think it has to do with the fact that cm7 is an official legit aosp rom while this has touchwiz? haha im not really sure.

I dunno about this, but afaik, the update script on CM7 is CwM 3.0 based, while ours and all the other ROMs are the older script.
So to run their script, you first have to ODIN the custom kernel with the new recovery and then flash the zips.
Here, the kernel is included in the main zip file and flashable normally...

**BEFORE I START I MUST NOTE THAT THIS IS STRONGELY BASED ON THE "DOUBLE RAINBOW RC1" Whitehawkx DID, I ONLY REMOVED BLOATWARE, REPLACED MUSIC PLAYER WITH CM7 ONE, AND MADE FURTHUR OPTIMIZATIONS WITH BOTH BATTERY LIFE AND SPEED!**
Pre-Rooted
This is Android 2.3.3
Comes with 4 Lockscreens.
Comes with 4 apps; Spare Parts/SGS Tools/Titanium Backup/QuickBoot (is able to be deleted)
Link for further details/give thanks to him: http://edtdev.com/forum/topic/10-rom-official-i9000-233-gingerbread-3272011/
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Odin to stock JFD (DON'T SKIP THIS STEP!)
2. Place XXJVK_Vibrant_I9000_Port_NO_BLOATWARE.zip on your internal sdcard.
3. Boot into clockwork recovery
4. Select the zip file and flash
5. Once it is finished rebooting, wait 15 minutes before doing ANYTHING!
6. NOW REBOOT AGAIN!!! (JUST DO IT!)
7. Once you complete the setup process open the app Spare Parts (included) and set Activity/Process Management to NORMAL. This helps with the RAM issue.
8. Open Settings>Display>Animations and turn on either "some animations" or "all animations" to enable the TV shutoff animation.
9. If you want bloatware flash Bloatware.zip NOW via android screencast.
VOODOO INFO:
Supercurio's Voodoo hacked kernel is included. There are a few things to be aware of:
1. You can flash this from RFS or EXT4 (RFS seems to be the safest and most reliable)
2. Voodoo is enabled by default.
3. During the conversion process you will see the double rainbow. Don't freak out. It takes roughly 5 minutes to convert and the phone will eventually boot like normal.
4. You may or MAY NOT hear Linda's voice during the conversion. Again, do not freak out.
5. If you do hear Linda, she will most likely sound like a chipmunk. DON'T FREAK OUT!

If the browser doesn't work download Opera or Dolphin. Will work just fine. We optimized that rom to run pretty damn good in these old heros. Just don't fill up the home screens and tons of apps or it will bog down.

hey just an fyi we dont talk about rocksteady around here the guy who made the ports was bannanas to say the least matt knows what im talking about lol.
Oh ok sorry.
The Sensible Gingerbread says to flash FR-recovery. What is that? I currently have ROM Manager and the Clockwork Recovery. Whenever I try to flash Sensible Gingerbread with that, it reboots into recovery every time I try to reboot it.
firates is just a tool that partitions your sd card for better memory management theres a thread in development on how to set it up.

The original thread says
How to install(might be a waste of time)
wipe ALL, flash FR-recovery, wipe ALL, reboot recovery, flash ROM, reboot. It is also recommended that you have an s-off bootloader, since FR is a recovery modification. It installed fine for the testers, so YMMV. But be warned, bricks are your fault, not someone elses Also, the CPU frequencies are now 245xxx (needs to be fixed, keep reading) - 729xxx (careful, some phones can only handle 691xxx). You need an overclock method (setCPU, overclock widget) to change the frequencies to 264xxx - 691xxx.

Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy S i9000 mobile.
It's running on :
Android 2.3.3
Baseband : DXJV9
I have not rooted it or did anything till now.
I wanna flash ICS AOKP on my mobile..
I have tried using the search option but still im soo deserted.
Can you guys guide me on how to root,flash CWM recovery, and flash ICS please ?
and Does Galaxy S supports ROM Manager ? coz i've been using Galaxy Ace before and it didn't support it..
Thanks a lot
For Root read this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
You need to download file ending in JVP. Usually you want the one ending with last 3 digits of your baseband but as there is no JV9 JVP is close enough and is reported as working. Besides it does not really matter as you just need this for root.
Once you have root you can simply follow the guide in the AOKP thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524108
I know you have stated you want AOKP but if you want a bullet proof simple way to get this all done start with this thread for Team ICSSGS.

I usually like to make sure I have all necessary files, roms & programmes before starting so if anything goes wrong I can get my phone working again. This tutorial will help you with that also.
After following all of this you should have a good understanding of what to do and then you can flash AOKP as their instructions are kind of limited.
Also when choosing an ICS Rom this is a great thread with regards to performance.

But if I can give you an advice, wait for the next Milestone which is expected to be released over the next few days

and finally, Which version of the kernel should i use for official AOKP b34? 1.1.0 or 1.1.0s?
Not sure but both should work. 1.0.1s is for slim ics and other roms. If it is not compatible it will break 720 video recording & playback otherwise eveything else should work. There is also a video patch somewhere.

Alright..I've flashed AOKP b34 and Semaphore 1.1.0s
Everything seems to be fine
But now my sdcard is mounted as internal storage and the actual internal storage is mounted as sdcard..is this a bug or what ?
Even when I connect my phone to my PC using USB,only the actual internal storage (which is mounted as SDcard shows up..
I personally haven't 1.1.0 only 1.0.1sbm with slim ics. I think the 1.1.0 is still a test version for cm9 but could be wrong. Things may have updated since i last looked but i recommend reading the semaphore thread and posting there for more help.

Known bug in Semaphore. Make sure you enable the 'Netfilter' module in the app. When it randomly doesn't work, which is the bug, simply check and uncheck it 2 times and it will work.

Now, The only problem I'am experiencing is a little more battery drain when compared to GB.
I am gonna experiment with modems..
Hello lovely XDA users. Just wanted to ask a few questions about the Note. Im used to Nexus devices and the unlocking and rooting process is usually straight forward, reading up on the Note I got a bit confused lol. So how do you root it? I have read about the ICS leaks bricking phones so I will stick to GB for now, can anyone recommend a good GB ROM? Would like stock Android if possible. One more question, apart from rooting how do you get CWM Recovery on it? Thanks for your help people and I'm really looking forward to getting the Note.
There's a thread in the dev section with pre-rooted firmwares. You can flash any of these with PC Odin and you're rooted. I suggest you flash the European Open or UK version of XXLC1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If you want to get CWM Recovery as well you need to flash the CF-Kernel for the version of the rom you flashed. So if you flashed XXLC1 you need the CF-Kernel for version LC1.
Scroll to the bottom of this post and download the file for the correct version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18978158&postcount=1
Extract that file, double click the alread-rooted.bat file and it will push all the necessary files to the Note. Once it's done your phone will reboot and you can use CWM Recovery (hold power+home+volume up untill Samsung logo pops up) to flash any rom you like.

Extract that file, double click the alread-rooted.bat file and it will push all the necessary files to the Note. Once it's done your phone will reboot and you can use CWM Recovery (hold power+home+volume up untill Samsung logo pops up) to flash any rom you like.

Explained like a pro, Thank you very much. Any GB ROM you would recommend? Preferably with Stock Android although I'm guessing you can't use the S Pen apps? Might stick to Stock Touchwiz ROM although I hate it. Any kernel to recommend with a Stock ROM? Thanks for your help.
All the custom GB roms fully support the s-pen because they're all based on official Samsung firmwares, I'm not aware of any custom rom with stock Android UI at the moment. You can always use a custom launcher to at least get rid of TouchWiz. I'm using CheckRomHD V6 and installed NemusLauncher at the moment and I like it a lot. RocketRom V23 is a very nice rom as well though it's a bit of a hassle to flash as you first need to flash V22, do a wipe and then flash V23.
You can even combine custom roms and custom kernels. If you want to be able to overclock as well you can flash for example CheckRom and then flash the AbyssNote 4.2 or FM Kernel 2.0 in CWM Recovery. Or if you go for speed and good battery life you can flash SpeedMod Kernel 2-11.
Basically it's all up to you. Read the threads about the custom roms, choose a few with features you like and just try them for a while. Just keep in mind that there is a slight chance you end up in a boot loop (usually solved by doing a data/cache/Dalvik wipe in recovery) or soft-bricking and you have to start all over by flashing a pre-rooted kernel and CF-Root again, but this applies to any custom rom on any phone.
You said them firmwares are pre-rooted but on the thread it say's they are not directly rootable. ???

No problem at all mate, welcome to the wonderful world of the Note
So much positivity on this thread... Awesome. Btw I recommend official cm9..It's safe and won't brick your device.. And is amazing. Slap reloaded cm9 on top and you're golden.

Where is this ROM? Sounds good. Any Kernel you recommend with it or just the standard one that's with it? Can you OC with normal kernel?

Would like stock Android if possible.

Does this mean that you want all the stuff that comes initially with your Note?
If yes, then CM9 probably is not the right thing for you. It is devoid of all the
Samsung crapware, plus you don't get native S-Pen Samsung support. This
means no SMemo and similar stuff; you have to use different apps from the
Market instead.
OTOH, if you want a lean, smooth and fast Rom, and are not afraid to do some
tinkering, then CM9 would be ideal for you.

1. CM9 is here.
2. No optional kernels for now, because it contains the only safe ICS kernel ATM
3. No OC either, but you won't be needing it - the kernel is very fast as it is. In
fact, I keep mine at 1.2Ghz. It feels just as quick, and it's somewhat easier on
the battery.
Ok, I flashed a stock GB ROM through odin and I have run the bat file and installed the CF kernel and CWM. How do I flash CM9 and where do I find Reloaded CM9? Thanks you lovely people
Aw, our little boy took his first steps
