Old Firmware?

Hey guys,
today I got a used Galaxys I9000, it came with the Kernel-Version: 2.6.29 and the Build ECLAIR.AOJG1.
I saw that there is no compatible root for this Build, so do I have to flash a new firemware with odin or shall I do a firemware update via Kies ?
Thank you very much.

If i were you i would update via odin. MUCH quicker and far less hassle, also you can go straight for a custom rom.

can you prefer a rom ? I would need one that allows me to install cm 9 or ICS.
So it needs to be rooted and has CWM installed right ?.
Im afraid to brick my new phone, some im asking.
thank you again.

I prefer you cyanogen 7.1 or a stock with semaphore kernel.

[Q] Upgrading Darky's v9.2 to v10.2 problems

Hi, I am having problems upgrading my phone from Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition to DarkyRom v10.2 Resurrection.
After alot of forum reading/trial and error/semi-bricking I successfully installed v9.2 on my phone using heimdall.
Phone specs:
Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (Canadian Bell)
GT-I9000M
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: I9000XXJPY
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build: Darky's v9.2 Extreme Edition
I followed this guide to get version 9.2 installed using heimdall(darky-resurrection-edition-guide.1578 -sorry couldn't post url), I couldn't get any version to work using odin.
And now I've been using this guide to upgrade to 10.2, attempting installs with odin and heimdall, with no luck (darkyrom-v10-4-2-xwjw1.6577-sorry couldn't post url), doing the "long guide" outlined in the post.
After I try this guide my phone shows the DarkyRom logo and then infinitely reboots.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try????? I've currently reflashed it back to v9.2.
I don't completely understand firmware versions, kernel versions, rom versions. I think I am running Froyo version, if thats whats 2.2.1 means. I have mainly been fooling around with this because the kies update semi-bricked my phone. Anyways, thanks for the help/suggestions
I also read in another thread on here to use the app DarkyOTA, in the app store it says that my device is not compatible with this app, so not sure if that is the proper route.

Flash a stock GB rom with Odin.. then a cf root kernel.. then you can install any custom rom you want from clockwork mod recovery.. I have never used hemidal so I can't help you with that...

First of all: Have you considered updating your Firmware with Samsung Kies or OTA? You are still on Froyo but the latest official Samsung Update for the i9000 is 2.3.x Gingerbread ( you can do it OTA. For this, go in your phone to settings--> about phone--> system updates).
Second: You need root rights to install custom ROMs and some apps like NSTOOLS (for e.g.). Here is a link, which shows you how to root your I9000 running Froyo: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...t-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-with-a-single-click/
Flashing means nothing else then to install a newer version of your operating system.
Third: When you update (flash) your device, the lags should be gone.

Samsung kies cannot view/read my firmware version and i dunno why:/
i really wanna fix this mobile bcoz it's too laggy and keeps freezing.. T_T
how to flash my mobile? what's the difference between flash and upgrade?? and the rooting link that you gave me isn't working anymore.. no more megaupload:/

Have you tried updating over the air (OTA) ?
Maybe you should consider this option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494493
Try to do it step by step.
P.s.: All your phones data will be lost.
P.p.s: Flash and upgrade is basically the same. But flashing is a common expression, when you do it on your own and not via KIES oder OTA (that´s how I explained the difference for myself ;-) .

that's ics? how bout gingerbread? sorry i'm just a beginner..
how to flash it the easiest way? i mean just to fix lags etc. ~

Try it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14273101&postcount=1
It´s for Gingerbread and you´ll find everything you need in this thread to flash your device. If you have any question, feel free to ask. But I´m sure you can handle it! It´s really easy.
P.s.: The easiest way would be with KIES! But this obviously don´t work for you.

Hi Mimi my recommend for you that's to flash one of the ics rom its really fast .. my galaxy i9000 was like your I flashed the ics (right now I am use dark knight 2.1) and now I am happy from this rom flash it you will happy:
1)first flash a stock rom in Odin (you will found how to do that in the forum)
2) download the zip file for your rom(that you want to flashed(my recommend its onesomic or dark knight2.1)
3) do full wipe
4)recovery mode>install zip from SD card>choosing the zip>yes-install
5)flash a kernel(my recommend last semaphore kernel(right now 0.9.1))
Then injoy with fast galaxy s i9000..
Good luck...!
NOTE:its really easy don't afraid if you had any problem in the flashing rom we here to help you ...
I hope for you good luck !!

Rooting my device

Hi guys, i am new to all this!
I really want to root my phone but i dont understand any of the step by step guides i have found.
Can anyone simplify things for me and tell wat i have to download to be able to do it?

Easiest is to root a JW4 ROM. Flash it to your phone using Odin and flash the CF-Root 4.4.
Search for the files above.

Hi is it possible for me to update my Samsung galaxy tab
Model: GT-P1000
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000JXJM2
Kernel version:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build number
FROYO.JPJM5

You will install Kies on your PC before, And put your Tab connect to USB. Well you can update via Kies.
sorry for my bad English
Good luck

hi there are no updates available thinking of rooting it but have no idea how and if i can do it with my tab i want version 2.3 or later

makes restock rom, recommend the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5" from overcome
and download your latest version (same region) from sammobile.com then flash it
Maybe you must to un-root your tab but I'm not sure that make you can update.
Warning all your data will be lost.

Yes there are plenty of ways to update your device.
You can simply install Samsung Kies, connect your tab and update to official gingerbread (2.3) or you can install a custom GB rom (Overcome Rom).
You can also choose to install ICS (4.0) or JB (4.1), various flavors like AOKP, CM9, CM10 etc.
To get started on custom GB or any other custom rom you should first root/stock your device using the Overcome guide/rom. The original thread is Here but the links are down so you should get the guide and safe-restock/rom files from the mirrors here.
Everything you need to do is included in the guide. Once you have installed Overcome rom you will be rooted and have a custom rom/kernel, from there if y0ou want to go up to ICS etc you simply put the rom on your sdcard, boot into recovery and flash the desired rom.

For me better upgrde to overcome rom..its more stable and have native 3g call..
