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

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 .

Can someone please post a more detailed set of steps for installing Continuum v5.4.1 from stock. I've been using FireFly for the last 3 months and really want to try out this rom. I've restored back to stock using ODIN one click and have done a master clear. There are no details on how to install the new bootloaders and the kernel using ODIN. Please don't slam me as I am new to this. I've read the entire first post. I've watched the MobileTechVideos video on youtube, but it appears to differ from what is posted in Icezar's post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9PKsk32Y0s (appears to be one file that gets bootloaders, kernel and ROM).
I've downloaded the ROM to my internal SD card. I have the talon kernel TalonDEV-0.1.2.tar file and the galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5 file on my computer. I used the ODIN3 v1.3 that was listed in the thread using the bootloader file in the PDA field. The installation fails; my phone is in download mode and connected to the USB on the motherboard. I end up having to pull the battery and have a soft brick (I have to use a jig to get download mode again and one click to get back). I've tried ODIN3 v1.82 doing the same steps, but in that version I put it in the bootloader field; it fails as well. One thing I noticed is the bootloaders linked in the thread say JVB and the ROM now says JVH; is there an error in the post? Does the version of ODIN matter? Do I need Galaxy S windows drivers? Right now I'm staying on stock until I can figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for your time...
Follow Mobile tech videos Samsung Captivate (How To Install Gingerbread ROM's) video instead, it's how I installed Continuum. Just install continuum instead of whatever he installs at the end. Same process.
For what it is worth, the version of ODIN you use is very important. There are a few versions of the one click download version that are specifically meant to return you to a stock rom. You want to make sure that you are using the full version such as ODIN 3. I have ODIN 3 version 1.7 and have used that several times to install Continuum and other stuff like different kernels.
The latest version of Continuum comes with the proper kernal already packaged. For the sake of playing it safe, when I was flashing 5.4.1 over stock 2.1, I installed an older version of the talon kernel first. I don't know if that was necessary, but it didn't hurt the situation either.
Thanks for the replies; I really appreciate it. So continuum v5.4.1 has the kernel bundled. I still have to do the bootloaders first using the pda field and not the bootloader field in ODIN3 v1.82?
Another question that came to mind; is there a way to get out of download mode without using 1 click back to stock. If I am in download is there a key combo that will reboot the phone normally? Thanks!
So I successfully installed the gingerbread bootloaders. I used the new key combo to get into download again and used ODIN to install the talon 1.2 kernel linked in the continuum post and it completed and the phone starts to boot and I battery pull. I then used the new recovery mode combo which works, but when I try to find the rom on my sdcard I get an error that it cannot mount /sdcard along with a bunch of other mount errors. My screen is similar to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076670&highlight=cannot+mount+/sdcard. In my case Odin completed successfully for the loaders and kernel. Please tell me what I missed. I used one click to get back to stock after I couldn't get past this error. Thanks...
icezar's instructions are probably the most complete you'll ever see for a custom rom ----- by far the best and most thorough, just follow them.
Best I can say is to just start over - one click back to stock, download mode, then flash continuum (first one - bootloaders).
I let everything boot up and then move updates to sdcard.
Flash kernel you want - I like Talon's (I'm on test 13 I think - OC'd at 1.2 -50,-50,-50,-75,-75-75 - all tweaks disabled)
Flash update zips via recovery .... 5.4.1 ---- I usually wipe Dalvick just to be sure, though it does it on its own.

On stock from download - just hold down all of the buttons, if it goes to recovery (which it should), just select reboot.
On GB loaders, it's different for the key combos, but still manageable.
I know exactly what you are going through. The instructions are very detailed. However, for those of us coming from 2.2 without having to understand Odin, the instructions are confusing. I think your confusion stems from there being multiple pit files. I have minimal knowledge of odin, but here is what I did to get GB Continuum from FF 3.0.
First off, I restored to stock using JV6 file without bootloaders per Icezar's link. I then downloaded each of the odin 1.3 rar files and extracted EACH (with 7zip) to a different folder. Then I ran the relevant odin file for each step.
Here is what I have gleaned from the process. The pit file in each rar is different, so normally you would select the relevant pit and pda file. The reason this worked without selecting the pit is because the pit and relevant pda were the only files in the directory as the instance of odin I ran. This may be wrong, but odin did not work if separated from the pit/pda.
Hope this helps because after tinkering with tweaks and UV settings I was at 40%battery after 1 day without charging.

I have found I can UV 1000/800 150, but 100/200 only by 50 & 400 by 75 before boot looping. However I kept io deadline and tweaks above that selection on. With rfs it has been smooth and fast. But sd write speed no matter what is slow... Have you had any luck?

Thanks guys. I'm waiting on a JIG I ordered this weekend before I try again. It sucks sticking resistors in trying to get dowload mode after a soft brick. Does anyone know the techincal reason my sd card wouldn't mount after I flashed the bootloaders and the talon 1.2 kernel? From what I am reading I just do the gb booloaders then install continuum from recovery as it contains a newer talon kernel. Fyi my build number is 1009.
So I did my upgrade tonight to Continuum 5.5. This time I had my JIG from MTV; thanks Josh! It made it a hell of a lot easier. I did the GB bootloaders and did a battery pull after ODIN 1.82 completed and the galaxy s screen came up. Then I installed the old talon 1.2 kernel which I'm not sure if I needed to do. This time it worked and I believe my error was in the video he doesn't un check the Auto Reboot; in the ROM post it said to un check it. After the kernel completed I did a battery pull. I used the volume up + power combo to hit recovery. I did a clear cache and D Cache. Then installed the ROM. Thank you for all your help. I really appreciate it!
Good deal! Glad the jig worked for you. I have had an amazing battery life and modem/GPS functionality with 5.41 while keeping lagfix/extra 4 disabled.

Similar to Masterslackers issue.
The phone was originally a stock Optus Éclair 2.1. About 6 months ago I decided to customize the i9000 with a custom Froyo 2.2.1 Rom (Doc's Rom Docs_XWJS3_Wipe-v9_1) from “The ROM Kitchen”. It worked really well and was much faster and responsive..
Yesterday, I decided to look at a move to Gingerbread and cook another ROM @ the ROM Kitchen, this time a Gingerbread 2.3.4 iteration.
The phone was rooted so I used Rom Manager to get into recovery mode where I could flash my new, Doc's JVR_No_Wipe-v8-00-08-22-10-09-4e6a8e4e86718.zip Rom.
All seemed to go well, but after the Flash, as the phone booted the first screen became filled with 100s of random coloured lines, then it transitioned to the normal Samsung start animation, but soundless.
After booting, I noticed that I no longer had a notification bar where battery, time, signal strength etc. was normally displayed atop the screen. I tried several different launchers to see if that was the issue, but to no avail. I tried to enable the notification bar using Go Launchers gesture setting (no go)
I tried rebooting the phone over and over, the notification bar would not return.
I was starting to lament my decision to flash when the following occurred.
I tried to re-enter recovery mode via ROM Manager to install a different ROM, but the phone bypassed it and then hung @ the Samsung I9000 logo screen. I then had to power the phone off before it would reboot into its UI. I could no longer reach recovery mode by any means.
Because I was getting nowhere and I had read that after flashing a new rom, root would often be lost, so I tried rerooting with "XXJVP-Complete-Rooting-Package" from
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s-on-android-2-3-4-xxjvp-firmware/ This also failed but it has also left me with a soft bricked phone.
The phone will not boot up or boot into recovery now, however It would still boot into (3 button) download mode.
I have tried various versions of Odin from v1.0 to v4.28 to ReFlash the phone back to life but with no success yet.
Using Odin, the phone hangs with no sign of progress and reports the following when left for 30minutes or so.
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
Anyone have any suggestions that might help to get the phone back.
Thanks, TeZ
So you didn't flash stock gingerbread before flashing custom rom? so you should first flash stock jvr and do hard reset after booting. Then you are safe to flash cwm capable kernel and custom rom.
For the odin problems, maybe you have kies running in background? Kill all kies processes and try again.
And I'd suggest reading all guides found in romkitchen thread..it saves lots of trouble. Hope that can fix your phone

Agree with above post, if you have Klies on your pc/laptop uninstall it, and re download the drivers, i have a good 2.3.4 tutorial and root 2.3.4 tutorial, both with Odin, let me know if interested. Also if you have heimdall installed then uninstall it also.
After you unistalled Kies (or at least stop it) and installed the drivers , pick a stock rom with bootloader from Ramad collection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 .
I prefer Odin 1.82.

Thanks for the info, running out of time today, will try for tomorrow
When moving from a froyo (2.2) rom to gingerbread, (2.3), you need the gingerbread bootloaders or you'll get all sorts of crap when turning on your phone (ie what you have).
Use odin to flash back to froyo, or flash a gingerbread firmware that comes with bootloaders. (I would recommend going back to froyo first to make sure everything is ok, since flashing bootloaders is a bit risky, as messing it up can permanently brick your phone)

Ok, here's where I'm at:
For the sake of simplicity I will detail what gave positive results rather than a tirade of what didn't.
Uninstalled Kies, rebooted
As instructed, went to:

Loaded up Odin and followed instructions.
Flash went ahead as normal and I now have a working phone again, thanks to you DSGE, I'm a very happy man
So I now have Gingerbread 2.3.3 installed and running.
My only issue's now is, that.
1. Half my apps dont work now or force close even after a reinstall.
2. Some apps won't install at all IE; my fav launcher; Go Launcher
3. I no longer have root access so Rom Manager and Titanium backup wont work.
4. My Backup Pro, works after I rewrote the correct path to the External Sd, but do I want to do that just yet? and just how much data should I reinstate so I don't corrupt the new system?
What should I do now?
Install busybox?
do a hard reset?
Flash a different Rom that will work for me?
Thanks so very much for all the good advise.
Cheers
First root the phone, then either a different rom, or format system and re install 2.3.3 or which ever u just installed, i think ure apps are not working due to the phone needing a wipe/reset and cache cleared from clockwork recovery

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!
How can i flash Stock Froyo/Gingerbread trough Odin? Can`t find anything usefull @ google

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!

Hey guys,
So recently I tried rooting my phone with CF-Root and Odin, and then it went into a boot loop of just the Galaxy S on startup.
I eventually found out about Heimdall and right now I'm running 2.2.1 Froyo with Build XWJSD.
Problem is, that the phone doesn't read the SD card? Like it will see the SD Card, scan it, and say it's finished scanning but then it won't let me access it either in CWM or through the Android UI itself.
Any ideas? I just want to get MIUI installed haha.
Well I just tested the SD card in another phone and it works fine. So it's definitely the software/rom I'm using now I think.
Is there anything I can do to make this work. Maybe like a completely stock 2.2.1, that is guaranteed to work haha? I just need this card to be read. Because even when I plug the phone and run Kies, Kies doesn't recognize the version of the firmware. And If I try to use superoneclick root, it also doesn't recognize the version of the firmware.
So right now I'm using 2.2.1 XWJSD, which stock rom should I install with odin or Heimdall to make this work?
Thanks a lot again.
Head over to this thread and download JVZ (Gingerbread 2.3.6), flash with Odin with re-partition checked, then head over to Chainfire's thread for CF-Root kernel for JVZ and flash that through Odin as well.
Forget about Kies since you'll no longer be using that to update firmware and whatnot.
CF-Root will come with CWM installed, so after you get that done, download MIUI and flash through CWM
Thanks a lot will try it out.
This CF-Root right? CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip
Unfortunately the phone is stuck in a bootloop now after installing 2.3.6 JVZ.
Did you make sure re-partition is checked? If it still bootloops after re-partition then try JVT or some other stock ROM and see if that boots up before applying the CF-Root kernel
Yeah I made sure re-partition is checked, and I installed it with the 512 pit file, unless I shouldn't be using the .pit?
your gona have to reflash the rom or install arom thats already rooted you could try darky 10.2 re or check out puggerduk on tube
Root Galaxy S i9000 and install a custom rom

MIUI is running based on Android 2.3, I found the Android forum that helps me well enough to do my first flashing and rooting. Here is what you need to try to do:
1. Flash your i9000 with XXJVU 2.3.6 ( Value Pack ):
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/xxjvu/
2. Root your I9000 with CF-Root-XX OXA JVU 2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxjvu-firmware/
Do everything on the post and you can install MIUI ROM from recovery straight away after that.
