In fact, you cant really brick any device, since it is software modding only ;-) if you cant recover your phone nomore, i am quite sure, it was a hardware bug. Or you completely didnt follow a guide given...
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
The easiest way :
- install ROM manager
- flash CWM from it
- put your rom (zip) in your sd card
- reboot to recovery from ROM manager
- flash it from CWM
or
N00BY0815's thread
Thanks for. The replys both to noobs yes its a full brick i went and put custom rom onto it but couldnt play the playstation games on it so went bck to stock rom it told me to update which i done it bricked my phone yes it was my fault i shouldnt hve done the update as stated in last bit of post .

So techonally even if i put on wrong cm 7 ie for a diff phone i wont brick it plus to dwnload from rom manager i need to pay for it

There is no WRONG CM. Go to http://get.cm/?device=p970 and choose the one you like. Mostly the new ones are better, but not always, since they sometimes produce unknown errors. I wouldnt flash CM anyway, if your new to flashing and stuff. Better try v3 of huexxx's Zeus ROM. Find it in DEV Section.
PM me, if you still have your old bricked phone. And give me your Facebookname, cause maybe we can unbrick it
I tried zeus v3.2, there are bugs that needs to be fix. I encountered the need to re-enter my google account password every restart. The call function seems to lag and sometimes FC.
This is my experience and thus sharing it here will give the DEV to fix it for us.
Then you definitly either chose the wrong version, or made a fault during installation. I am using it since the beginning and never had any bug with it. And trust me, cm still has faaaaaaar more bugs ;-)

Download gapps from cwm. Fyi cm7 deleted all network settings on my thrill. Took 3 hr to flash baseband sucked

Hi all, my friend has OB v20 b rooted and cwm too.
He want to install a modiv rom like cm 7 or 9 or the others.
But the roms sometimes based on ob another version like v.20 O or S etc
It doesnt matter to install those rom or not...
Please help... I am so confusing right now
Its so different with my Xperia ray..
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
It doesnt matter, as long as it is a P970 and not a P970H or something else. Just go ahead and try it, you ll only need to unbrick it, which isnt that much of a dedl with smartflash
Hi,
About a year ago I bought my wife an i9000 off ebay. It is the UK unlocked version. It came with the stock rom. I rooted it and have installed various different roms over the year. At first, the phone was fine, but its gradually got slower and now, it's almost unusable. The phone constantly lags, hangs, crashes etc. It drives the wife up the wall and I get it in the neck.
I finally decided to go back to the last official gingerbread rom to see if that would help (XXJVU), but its the same.
I am starting to think that the phone simply isn't powerful enough to run today's versions of the apps a smartphone should be able to run. Her list of 'must have' apps, on top of what's installed as standard is as follows:
Apps that will run in the background:
Facebook app and widget
accuweather app and widget
BBC news app and widget
stock calander widget
viber
Apps that will be opened and closed:
skype
memoires diary app
adobe reader
google translate app
samsung mobile print app
CTK (Czech news app)
Is this list of apps excessive? Should an i9000 be able to run today's versions of these apps without any problems? A lag here and there won't bother her, it's the freezing and crashes that drive her crazy.
If the above should be possible, could someone recommend a ROM or ROM/kernel combo that would work? I don't care if its stock or custom, or what version of android it is, I just want the phone not to freeze.
Thanks

My suggestion is gamerzrom ive been running it and its perfect no freezes or crashes and ive been running much more than you mentioned above. The phone is still going strong

Hi, if u already suitable with flashing, then its easy, GB got really good sense on videos n app but its to buggy to use, Using ram manager n sometimes reboot ur fone will clearing cache so ur fone will be fast again, but only on limited time. Cache will start to bulky n slowing down da fone.
If ur familiar with flashing, then upgrading ur fone to ICS or JB is wise decision. As 4.x Android have a good ram manager n easy to use, and did say, clearing cache would be good but sometimes check ur internal sd if it get too bulky. Insufficient space will makes operation apps to became failure as app need space to launch either in RAM or sd.
and still, if ur fone still became lag or slow, after upgrading, i suggest u use some script available here in XDA to make ur fone systems manageble like supercharger or fly on script.
but be xtra careful and read carefully before doing something. Doesnt want to risk bricking ur fone rite, so Good Luck

Thanks for your replies.
So what is your modification?
Juz choose any custom ROM in dev section, as for me, i juz using nightlies with supercharger and script by slaid, thats all, but really, da post before juz for jokin, and if u wanna to gain it, u need to OC ur fone.
There are tons of quite dependable custom ROM out there, try every one of it. as i also do da same before. and decide it on ur own

Ok, I've installed the latest slim bean, and I want to try the mods you suggested above. Could you explain what you've installed from slaid and supercharger?
Have you patched services.jar?
It all looks a bit complicated to me..
Thanks.

Its known that antutu scores and any benchmark scores mean nothing the performance shows in games. Benchmark scores change if you make 50 tests itl be always different .
Yes i suggest gamerzrom because it has everything in one package no scrips needed. The dev tried everything out and used only the best in his rom and so far its flawless

GamerzRom it's closed at the moment.
I haven't tried it so I can't comment on it's performance.
I've flashed countless Roms and in my experience I'm most satisfied with C-RoM Mix.

if u choose GB, just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273317 and choose any 2 attached link (CM or Stock (not both) ) then choose what Ram Manager u wanna use and copy it to internal sd. Boot to recovery and flash RAM MANAGER first, then da Fly On script after. Reboot. Thats all.
If u from ICS/JB Rom (custom or stock)
Hav u rooted? Root first and update ur superuser binary. And ur chosen rom must have kernel that support init.d (see if u got init.d folder in /system/etc/ thats all. or juz ask ur ROM dev
1. Download script manager from GPlay
2. Download this script (.sh) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1200973&d=1342401278 and dont change anything. Save da script inside root of internal sd
3. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273317 and download da 1 of 2 last attachment (choose it, CM or STOCK depend on ur ROM. Most custom rom based on CM Nightlies)
4. Choose any RAM Manager u wanna used (for me its hard multitasking)
5. save it at da root of ur internal sd.
6. Run script manager and choose da script from supercharge RC10, dont forgot to tick da skull (permission from superuser).
7. Read carefully da instruction in script manager. As it will tell u everything, u can choose no for all except da one that change ur services.jar, click yes for it.
8. After da script done, it will ask u to reboot. Juz say no and it will come back to da main menu, Now u can choose again of 34 option (maybe got more option, i juz forgot about it) from script. Juz see da option to unsupercharger and choose it (coz u just want it to patched da services.jar, not to use da supercharge. Only RC10 have da option to alter da services.jar quite easily or if u wanna da hard way, see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16635544&postcount=2 )
9. Follow any of da instruction. , it juz wanna to revert back to normal, except for da services.jar
10. Reboot. Now u hav alter ur services.jar.
Now reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
1. In recovery, choose to install zip, dan choose RAM MANAGER first.
2. After it done, choose da fly on script and flash it.
3. Reboot after it done.
in case of update da script,
1. delete da RAM Manager in /system/etc/init.d and delete file named ram_manager. (or if ur recovery got option to clear init.d juz pick it.)
2. Reboot to recovery and as usual, repeat da above instruction (juz for da script, altering services.jar already been done) and dont forget, any changes must be followed by wiping cache.
thats all and if in case u dont hav guts to try, dont do it.
Wow. Thanks for the detailed instructions!
I have followed them and done everything you said. The phone seems to run a lot smoother now. I just hope that it stays that way and doesn't start to slow down after time.
The slim rom comes with the semaphore kernel which does not seem to have the ability to overclock. Can I install a new kernel with that rom to enable overclocking?
Thanks
Semaphore can overclock the system. However it needs it's own app - semaphore manager. With that app you'll get a few nifty features on top so it's worth downloading anyway.
find semaphore manager from stores
however, any circumstances occur over OC will not be my reeponsibilities.

screenlock on i9000 and way forward
Hi guys,
cool to see there are still some SGS activities going on with that device. Since I have my GNEX I did not look at my SGS anymore.
So, had it in my hands yesterday and thought about updating it.
Problem I have is: I can not access the phone anymore because I dont remember the screenlock anymore (numbers) ;-(
The phone is fully rooted and unlocked with a
Darky Rom and
Dark kernel
Via the lockscreen I can boot to Recovery (CWM) or Download mode (as well as via the buttons of course)
Question: is there a similar tool like the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit for backing up or do a nandroid with the SGS?
I guess I have 2.3.x version running currently.
Well the external SD i backuped already - but I am afraid there is still some stuff i would like to get before wiping..
Would be great if you could help me out.

Lol man, you can't use official Facebook app on the phone, It's the slowest s*it ever made . Use m.facebook.com in browser, or any alternative Facebook client instead, official Facebook app kills all the performance .
Install GamerzROM, delete the MORPH folder from the .zip file BEFORE installation. Do NOT restore any apps using TitaniumBackup or similar. If your phone gets too slow, use Clean Master to clean the cache, that helps too (use especially this app!). Do NOT use custom launcher, use Xperia launcher, which is pre-installed in GamerzROM, it's really fast . Do NOT install any additional performance tweaks, because the best ones are pre-installed in GamerzROM.
My phone is blazing fast with these settings, hope I helped . BTW také jsem z České Republiky, zdravím
Edit: I just noticed that there ain't no download link for GamerzROM 3.0, so you can just wait for the next release .
