[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?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
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.

Well I would recommend you the Asylum ICS rom in CM9 base or if u want the AOKP go ahead with my rom Half-Illusion
Both are light and fast
Also can try the Paranoid Android rom if you want custom app dpi.
Above all roms are AOSP and doesn't include any samsung features!
Kernel comes with the custom rom. U can flash newer versions of kernel from the kernel repository link in my siggi.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE
Depends what features you are looking for,
If you're just looking for something smooth and stable and close to Stock (With Samsung Apps etc) then check out the ICS ROM CleaNote which comes bundled with the Dev's own kernel.
If you're not bothered about the Spen apps etc then I'd say give Paranoid Android a go..
It's personal preference really, Just have a read through the threads in the Dev section, Most of them have screenshots or a video showing features and installation method..
But, as You're on Stock ICS at the moment, be careful and DO NOT Wipe / Factory Reset on a STOCK ICS Kernel.
Cheers

Speed and stability depend both on rom as well as kernel.. most of the sammy based custom roms use notecore these days which is also my personal favorite:good:

Take it easy, you're fine. If you've installed HydraCore it means you're on a safe kernel. Just download pc Odin if you haven't already.
What rom do you want to go to? I'd recommend for safest operation, install gb stock, then look at upgrade but it depends on which rom you want to flash.
Emmc bug is only triggered on stock kernels or under some cwm flashes which most people don't do, so take it easy, you're ok.

1. Flash hydracore kernel.
2. Reboot recovery.
3. Make sure you are on hydracore kernel.
4. Do what ever you want.
If you still being scare of doing this. Just follow jeetu suggestion. Go back to gb pre rooted rom by using pc odin. Then use mobile odin to flash rooted kernel. After get full root, go recovery and flash cm9. Done.

Flashing Hydracore doesn't affect root, you will be rooted and can flash PA directly using cwmr after flashing hydracore.

I would recommend you go with the long route of installing stock GB first. I saw the installation instructions of PA (i'm not sure though if that's an outdated tutorial or if it's still the current one to date), but it explicitly tells you that you need to be on stock GB before installing PA. I'm open to corrections though from those who have PA already installed but personally,it would be good if you start from scratch and work your way up to eventually install PA.
That's just my advice to you.
Hi,
I got a question, I have flashed the kernel to the hydracore one, have root and CWM but I am still on the ICS stock ROM. Is it possible to go directly to paranoid one without the need to downgrade to GB ?
By the way, can you provide a link to dl paranoid ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Ok but as I can see the ROM is only 160 MB as other ROM (stock for example are almost 700MB), I don't want to lose some essential functionalities by flashing to an incomplete ROM. How to know which file to dl from the Gapps is there on this one that you have the 500 MB missing ?
Thanks again and sorry for my poor knowledge
All aosp roms are that size.. It's a completely different experience as aosp roms are pure Google experience with no Samsung or any other retailers custom launcher and bloat..
It depends on Wich functionalities do you have in mind?

Ok thanks so they put a lot of useless heavy crap inside I guess
I am still struggling to have a download link for a stable zip file to flash, is it possible to have a link ?
Thank you
I've downloaded the rom in the past no issues.. Don't know about mirrors.. Maybe ask there in the ParanoidAndroid threat

[Q] Flashing from a JB ROM to Stock

Hey guys thanks for the help,
I know how to flash roms and have a pretty good idea of how to work within CW. However my friend flashed his Samsung Captivate to a JB ROM (I'm pretty sure it was more of an official AOKP ROM), and after a couple days, he decided he wanted to flash back to a more stable Gingerbread ROM or the ICS CM9. I tried to help him flash back but it comes back with an error and then when we reboot it has the same ROM from before.
So, what would I have to do to flash his phone back to CM 9 and what preparations would I have to do to flash it back?
(By the way, I have an HTC Inspire myself, so if anything is different besides the type of ROM's I have to flash, don't be afraid to tell me. I want to learn more about it.)
Thanks so much for your time and help. It is much appreciated.
I would install stock GB ROM using Odin .. then flash cm9 if needed
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Flash UCKK4 stock rom(use it from the one click master collection of stock rom's). Then flash the corn kernel(search forum for it) as it has a built-in cwm recovery, Then flash whatever rom you want to flash.
I have the same problem, but i've a samsung galaxy s i9000. What can I do?
Thanks for help.

Probably better ask in the i9000 q & a forum...
