[Q] whats the best way to flash to froyo

hello can someone give me some advice what is the best way to flash to froyo
do you need to have a firmware already installed like jm8 for instance or can you
just wipe my phone and install from fresh .
thank you

Just flash JPY from samfirmware.com as a PDA without a PIT file selected.

can i do it even if my galaxy doesnt have a firmware already installed i was wanting
to do it from a fresh wipe then just install the jpy
thank you

i would suggest to flash Darky's Rom. it's easy and you don't need to use odin or heimdall. plus its a really fast Rom!

i was looking into doing that but an i flash without having a firmware already installed
or do i need one already on the phone i have read on a lot of post people saying
you need something like jm8 firmware first then you can flash over it dont know
whats the best way realy
thank you

Kies 2 is the easiest way........... If you want to flash to a custom 2.2 I suggest reading through these forums for a few good hours.

How does your phone work if you have no firmware .???
Suggest A Froyo update is normally via Kies . Why do you need to flash ??
Suggest B If you are flashing custom roms please please read all the posts regarding flashing and save breaking your phone .
Suggest C questions go in the Q& A section not development .

<----- says the best way to flash FroYo if you are a woman is to wear a t-shirt with FroYo stencilled.
Seriously, if you want an official 2.2, try one thats correct for your country & region. General section has a sticky.
If you are adventerous & want to experiment, try one of the MODDED ROMs available. There is a sticky here in dev.
If you want a 2.2.1 without ant modifications, try to search for it here in dev with a title [MOD][CSC] or something or try my desi link in my signature. I will search & add links later.
PS : how old are you?

Coming from Froyo - Clear my confusion please?

Hi.
Before I spam up more of the ROM threads I figured I'd better make a thread.
I'm at 2.2.1 with Voodoo Lagfix and Soundfix Kernel right now.
I want to upgrade to Gingerbread or one of the more functional ICS Roms.
Now in all the threads about them I don't see anything about Bootloaders, Firmware and so on.
My Question:
What do I have to flash and in what order?
I figured bootloader>firmware>ROM+RADIO?
Will the old ROM(2.2.1) work with the new bootloader?
The situation is kind of bad since my phone is my only source for internet right now, so KIES for basic stock upgrading is out of question.
I want to reconfigure my apps and all that stuff anyway so a backup will of course be done but is not necessary.
Thanks for reading and maybe some other people coming from 2.2.1 or lower will also find help here.

use the above link .. be sure to click on update bootloader .. as you are coming from froyo rom to GB rom so you need GB bootloader.. rest of the odin settings will be as shown in the video in the link

Thanks for your reply.
I hope you don't missunderstand me but I don't want to just follow a tutorial, I want to know what I am doing.
And this tutorial is basically telling me "use that PIT and that PDA" and boom.
But what about the bootloader? Does this change the Kernel?

.pit file contains the information of how to partition your space, if you choose .pit file in odin, you'll have to click repartition otherwise its not needed..
for details about all file types you can just google...
The guy in video didn't check bootloader because he was flashing from a GB rom only.. when you are coming from a froyo rom, you'll have to check the bootloader option as it'll be required to run GB rom otherwise you may end up in a boot loop..
The kernel that comes with the rom will be flashed... so the kernel you have now will change

Hi
Is there any way to jump from Froyo ROM (2.2.1) to ICS ROM without Flashing the GB ROM?

Yes, it's possible and the same procedure as with any GB ROM. Important is that most ICS ROM's are still in beta, nobody can and will guarantee anything.

Sorry, you can but you need the GB Bootloaders

[Q] How do i install Android 4.0 ICS?

Hi people.
I haven't visited the site in a long time and i just noticed that ICS is out.
So i am trying to figure out how to install it.
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

just forget it for now, there's lots of bug with the rom (leaked rom and official rom)
stay with GB for now

Ok, noted, but i was more wondering about the procedure.
It doesn't look like an easy straightforward procedure.
How would one go about installing ICS?

Once oficial ICS is out in your country for your carrier you simply plug youre Note into PC and use the instal wizard on Kies. It will do it for you nice and simple.

Thank you very much for your swift answers.

If you are on GB stock, just flash this ROM with mobile odin (safer!), check everroot and all (although I still didn't get root), and should be good BUT I say stay away.. It's not good and not radically different from GB.. If you flash anyway, STAY AWAY FROM LPY KERNEL.
If you're on any custom ROM, downgrade to stock GB and follow the procedure..
BUT DON'T FLASH IT.. I flashed it twice and luckily enough, I could come back to GB but you might not..

Okay, i have only 1000000 questions!
What does "flash" mean exactly? In my mind it sounds like changing firmware, am i close?
what does mobile odin do?
Is LPY kernel and LPY firmware the same thing?(as in because they are indivisible)
Why stay away from LPY kernel?
I have never tampered with my note since i bought it, i find no reason to since my phone covers all my needs, and thus i didn't familiarize myself with the terms or the procedures. For all intents and purposes you should explain it to me as if i was a 5 year old!
I understand that most probably you won't really take the time to explain these things to me, so i could use a central platform that can provide the answers to these questions in a straightforward manner without having to lurk here on the forums for a 1000 years.
Please if you know of such a place provide me with a link.

Here is a centralized link, it's been my best friend in getting answers:
Forum Search
Edit: If you have not messed with your phone, why would you even consider doing it with a rom that could potentially brick your device completely. If the juice isn't worth the squeeze, don't even attempt. If you want to learn, root with a GB rom, and for that follow Dr. Ketans thread, very easy to follow with pictures, and although you said explain it like I would to a 5 year old, I apologize in advance that the pictures aren't popup

Should answer most of your questions..
Anyways, yeah flashing means changing firmware but it could also refer to a kernel (read through the link) or anything really, even a theme.
Odin is a program used to flash various firmwares, kernels, etc for samsung devices. There's PC Odin and then there's mobile odin. Mobile Odin can be used to 'flash' just about anything, be it a stock ROM or kernel or a custom ROM.. By using mobile odin you don't get the yellow triangle too.. Which is used by samsung to detect whether the phone has been messed up with or not.. It's pretty easy to get one but it's easier not to get one if you know what you are doing.. Just read the thread above and your most questions will be answered.. Read the wiki on GN note too..

And I would suggest you to first get a hold of changing ROMs before jumping to ICS. There are various GB custom ROMs available. Try flashing them..

[Q] NooB Question

Firstly I apologize as I have found this being asked before, but not in these circumstances. I am new to android being a long time iphone user. I now have a N7000 that I used PC Odin to flash LPY. I have noticed all of the concerns over bricking and with my lack of knowledge I am thinking I should flash a custom rom to avoid these issues.
My question is which is a good rom to go with, ICS (Such as kingdroid 2.0 or something GB?) More accurately what is the best process? I am currently not rooted. I am ignorant to android and I have noticed a steep learning curve making the transition. I explain this to help understand why I am asking this question.
I have attempted to search, and I have browsed Dr. Ketan's thread, and I still cant find a good answer. I just don't want to have a bricked phone trying to get to a custom rom. Any help or suggestions is highly appreciated.
Should I root it first then use CWM to switch to another rom?
What custom roms are recommended for easy use out of the box?
Another quite simple question is if I saved all of my contacts to google are they currently synced, as in if I switch to another rom they will still be accessible?

What I would do if I were in your place: I'd revert to rooted GB like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
then I'd flash one of the CM9-based Roms, because they are the only truly safe ICS Roms ATM, and these are
1. official CM9
2. Asylum
3. Paranoid
4. MIUI
5. KANG
Also, your contacts are safe with Google, and you can restore them in no time at all.

Thanks for your response, when you say revert to a rooted GB is that the process through PC odin? Also does it need to be one of the safe roms? It seems the problem stems from a wiping command?

Hello!
Yes , use pc odin to revert back to gb, i did so, i used an prerooted stock gb .
Then follow chasmodos guides to go to ics again.

One more thing, to back up my apps so they are there on the new rom do I have to be rooted?

yes !! to use app like Titanium Backup !
or since you probably downloaded all apps from Google Play Market
then when u install your new firmware/rom you can simply download all of them from google play(but u lose the data of those apps )

Highly recommend you invest in Titanium Backup.

Thanks guys for the continued responses, I am shocked not to see any flaming as of yet. I am new to all of this but I continue to do my research through reading many many threads on this forum. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge. Any links to good reads are much appreciated.
Cheers

[Q] Over My Head

Hello all, I will be the first to admit i have not much of an idea as to what imdoing but thats half the fun.... Have a GT-N7000 that has odin mode
download stuck on screen (not uncomen from what i readon here) although there seems to be adifferent reason for each time ????
My phone was rooted & had frankie kernal & I had been having some issues in the hrsb4 this happened, must of some how wiped a system root file ??? when read the log it said from memory extended------ missing. then all of a sudden stopped going into recovery mode & justgot finger on wrong part of button & now hear we are ????
Would any 1 be able to suggest the best way to get out of it (if i can) even if means going back to factory & starting again ???? Help would be muched appreciated.

Visit the stock ROM thread in the original development section, Downloada GB firmware for your region, flash it via ODIN and that should fix you up :good:
you can then continue to start a fresh and go from there. There is a detailed picture guide for flashing firmwares so its relatively simple.

wow that wasquick
