[Q] Help Installing Roms - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys ,
Just got the Galaxy i9000 . I am on baseband xxjvo and gingerbread 2.3.3 . I want to try out some custom roms .
I am familier with the installation procedures . I have rooted my phone and have the CWM in it . Do i just need to download the rom ( cm7 or miui ) , place it in the sd card . Boost into recovery and install from there ?
can anyone please help me out or point me in the right direction .

Read the installation guide on the relevant rom thread

Yes, best and easiest way in my opinion is to flash the ezbase froyo rom, but as I said, if you read the relevant rom guide all the instructions are there!

[Q] Anybody from Newcastle (UK)?

hello guys,
I am looking for someone who is able to flash my friends Samsung galaxy s i9000. It has still the Froyo software on it. I successfully flashed my to ics but I am not able to do this with the other device. It has a strange basebuild no. I'm not sure how to do this.
Can anyone help me? I would be really thankful.
Cheers
Is no one able to help me?
The baseband is the modem. Should make no difference to which rom you flash. Is it on eclair, froyo or gingerbread?

Sorry, just noticed you've said froyo. You just need to flash stock gb rom, then the semaphore kernel to match for cwm and root, then you're good to go for any custom rom you wish.

This smartphone has JM1 installed. Sorry but I am an absolutly newbie. I only was able to flash my one with a step by step guidance.
I haven't found anything about JM1 How to flash etc.
I am a little bit desperate now ....
Search for a stock gb rom (jvu/jw1 are recent) with gb bootloaders and follow the flashing instructions using odin.

Sorry, where do I find something like this? After flashing with Odin I will be able to put ICS from teamhacksung on it?
See perka's jvu thread in dev section, there is an odin flashable download.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Once flashed, boot up, turn off, then flash cf-root kernel for jvu - use the search function to find thread or go to read first couple of pages of perka's thread for a link.
Once you're rooted, you'll be good to go.

Is it this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ?? You mean JVU is compatible with JM1?
Thank you for your help!
If you're friend needs a rom i'd start by either flashing Darky's ROM 10.2 RE with full instructions including a vid tutorial on that thread
or
Flash Jetpack v8.2 with instructions and a vid tutorial in that thread.
The reason why i recommend those two ROMS, is they're particularly easy to flash and have good support.
I'd start with Darky's ROM and then move to other ROMS from there if you want, because it's a fast, very stable rom with a brilliant community for support. Plus you dont need much expertise to flash it, and it comes packaged with root and clockwork mod recovery installed, so you dont need to do anything to prepare your phone for flashing. This ROM does it all. If you wanna move off from there, well then you're all set. But if you're friend just wants a fast stable ROM, then he's all set with Darky. If he wants a bit extra speed, then move to Jetpack V8.2 it's stable and no bugs and its very fast and features thunderbolt! tweaks preinstalled, which are custom tweaks written by a guy called pikachu01 and they improve the SGS very well. They dont require too much expertise to install, but this saves you hassle and gives you all those added benefits from thunderbolt!.
If you're really keen on this teamhacksung ICS build then go to the darky rom and then from there install teamhacksungs build. Just make sure you read carefully to know what you're doing.

Flash a stock gingerbread rom. Then flash a custom kernel like semaphore. After that you can install ics.

NO! Gingerbread is a requirement to install CM7.. If you read the OP on all other ROMs available for the mini, GB is a requirement. you have no other choice but use Odin.. or upgrade through kies if you don't like Odin.
thanx. ok which step i need for odin to work properly for mini. any links ???
Go on YouTube and follow edendroids instructions that is how I did it the first time.

cm7 is based on gb and since gmini's froyo is not compatible with gb bootloader that's why we need to upgrade to gb
since there is no cm6 for gmini we cannot flash cm on froyo
if u dont want to use odin,u can use kies..just update it in kies to latest firmware..

New to S.. Wanna flash

Guys, recently bought galaxy S i9000 with froyo
Now i wanna switch of a ICS rom which is stable and bugless with ofcourse battery life..
So how can i upgrade.
Plz guide

You will want to root your phone first, look in i9000 General on how to do that.
Then, look in the i9000 Development forum for an ICS ROM and follow instructions.
I think you need GB bootloaders first. Best is to upgrade with kies to GB->root->flash ICS.
Go to chainfire kernel thread in development section.there you will get all the steps to root your phone.Then go to ics ROM of your choice i would recommend CM9 or team nyx...open the thread you will get the info how to flash...you will have to flash twice...and it's done
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Okay i will update first to GB via kies and then root it and with CWM i will flash custom ICS, correct step ?
Yes it is

Hi cistamlaka, be aware that it is your uncle's phone, not yours. So I would be very careful on rooting and upgrading to a different rom. If he is on a stock 2.3.3, I think (because I had it) there is an update to 2.3.6. It fixes a couple of lags.
If you root him the phone and push some new rom onto it, he might be confused because he will lose the TouchWiz and some applications. Check first with him, what applications (and if some Samsung-made) he uses and if he is okay to change the looks of the phone.
Isnt it right that he has only to download a file and change it to "update.zip" to flash it via stock recovery? A friend of me needs that file, is it the same to use as on sgs plus (i9001)?

the problem is that usb doesnt work (he will fix it) but the charging works.For update do I have to use kies or OTA if it is possible?
