You can flash darky rescue center. Download it. All instructions are in darky zip file.

Nowhere near bricked... But you have to follow directions now.
Flash either a 2.1 or 2.2 rom. The rom has to be 3 files. You need to flash with a 512 pit and re-partition.

[Q] I want to flash a custom rom

Hi
my phone is a galaxy GT-I9000
PDA : I9000BGJP3
PHONE : I9000BGJP2
CSC : I9000XECJP2
Build Info : 2010, 11
it has froyo 2.2 , Movistar Spain stock rom
it is not rooted
and it has recovery and download modes
Now I want to flash a custom rom (cyanogen or darky's)
i have read a lot of guides and tutorials but i'm still a little confused
So I want to know if I need to flash the firmware first, then only after that, I install the custom ROM ?
Or do I directly install a custom rom without flashing a new firmware ?
thanks for your help

Hi ziko360, since it sounds like you are new to custom roms I recommend you first try darkys rom.
If you are wanting to flash darkys v10.1 then yes you first need to flash the jvh firmware then flash darkys v10.1 after.
If you dont want to flash a custom rom you could always flash jvo from samfirmware.com then just flash a custom kernal instead.
Edit: Iv just noticed you asked in another post that you wanted to install the voodoo lag fix. If you have done this, then remember you must first diable the lag fix!

You should create a file or folder named disable-lagfix and place it in the voodoo directory on your sd card and reboot the phone. Or if that's too complicated you can Download from the android market the application Voodoo Toggle reboot Button - just hit the button so that voodoo is off and reboot. Also, in the app Voodoo Control there is option to disable voodoo lag fix

Ok thanks alot. i'll check this soon..;-)

ok thanks a lot
It is actually Darkys 10.1 that I have chosen
I've read the tutorial on Darky's website and it explains everything (flashing jvh firmware, disabling lagfixes... )

The fix is flash stock Froyo with pit and repartition checked via Odin if rom breaks your phone .

[Q] Best Custom Firmware for I9000M?

I'm kind of new at this and i'd like to know what is the best Firmware i can use for my Branded Bell i9000M.. The phone is already unlocked (SIM)...
I need a guide if possible or clear instructions.. as this is my first time.. Thanks so much

Can I use this Darky Rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091

Yes you can, i have that rom, but be careful before flashing a Gingerbread rom for the first time. You have to "prepare" your phone.
1: You have to root your phone. search for Superoneclik.
2: You have to install Rom Manager from the Market. Run the app and hit "Flash the reccovery" from the menu. You will be able to install a custom rom from your SDcard by entering in recovery mode.
3: You must flash a Gingerbread rom that come with a bootloader.

Take your time before flashing a rom, there is a lot af topic here to explain what to do, be sure to understand if you dont want to brick your phone. You are responsible of what you are doing.

My phone was rooted, and unlocked and whatnot. But I didn't download any bootloaders or nothing... just flashed with Odin. Now I have darky rom 10.2 EE. I had to flash a new modem to get it to work on 850 band though.. kinda new to flashing too. But worked like a charm
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Darky's rom 10.2 EE (Extreme Edition) is to be flashed via ClockWorkMod.
Darky's rom 10.2 Resurection is to be flashed with Odin. I was not aware of that version.

I donno then man, I flashed with Odin. It works amazing. Just cause its not a Canadian thing I guess they don't have proper modems built in so I flashed KC1 at first and it was ok. Now just flashed JL2 with cwm and it seems to work better. What's the diff between resurrection and extreme. Just the memory wasting background apps thing? And does darky rom config work with this rom?

You can try S.U.R.F.A.C.E ROM JVQ Base, really fast and has good battery life.

[Q] Rooting and Installing ROM on GT I9000

Hi,
I finally got a Samsung Galaxy S after finding a great a deal on it. I'm aware that there are several ways on how to root this device. However, due to that I don't know which to use.
Currently I'm running on 2.2.1 Froyo XXJPY with Kernel Version of [email protected] #1.
I'm not totally clueless about rooting as I've done it already on my HTC Wildfire.
Could someone please advise me which is the most up-to-date and safest method of rooting? Link would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm a bit confused about installing ROMs. I used to use CWM on my HTC Wildfire which was incredebly easy to do. Would it be the same on my Galaxy S?
I'm planning to test out MIUI, DarkysROM and such ROMs. Would these ROMs have the LAGFIX feature integrated in them as well?
I apologise if a thread like this has already been posted a thousand times but I just can't come up with a definite answer.
Thanks in advance.

I have a galaxy s Vibrant the I9000M and I rooted and unlocked mine today using SuperOneCick and then The Galaxy s unlock by helroz on the app market took a grand total of 6 minutes

Thank you! Now, that's one down.
Now just want to know about flashing ROMs e.g. MIUI, DarkyROM and such.
Do I need to root my SGS first to be able to flash custom ROMs?
I also noticed that you would also have to flash firwares and kernels. Do I need to this before flashing custom ROMs?
Thanks in advance.

In order to flash a custom rom you need to have clockworkmod (CWM) recovery.
and from that its easy
As for the newer rom's here, they are all 2.3.x, so in order to get from 2.2.1 JPY, you will need to flash a stock rom 2.3.x with bootloaders via Odin.
use this link to read about odin and flashing with it. its a great guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
to find stock rom's - they are in the general section. and custom rom's in the dev section.
read a little and after that have fun!!
And keep in mind every rom has its little guide, read those before you flash any.

Hi,
Many thanks for replying. Can I follow the video below made by a fellow XDA member direct from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 via Odin?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lO3Y86N2p0&feature=BFa&list=FLqhM0qK4aVsLmWAA_YYhBCA&lf=mh_lolz
So I will Download stock JVQ from Samfirmware > Download Odin > Flash a stock 2.3.4 JVQ > Install chosen Kernel with CWM > Flash chosen ROM using CWM.
When would I need root then?
Is that right?
This reminds me when I had my Samsung Tocco. Pretty much same procedures.

That is right... basically when you flash a kernel with CWM you get root access. it's one of the features of a custom kernel. some of them activate it on there own and in some you need to activate it your self from the recovery (very simple).
And all the custom rom's come with root access, so in following the steps you wrote, you will get the root access with the custom kernel, and again in the custom rom.

Thanks for everyone's help. I'm now running Armetris 3.6.1 with Semaphore Kernel.
Just a question though, with my phone rooted, lagfix enabled, flashed with custom ROM and such, can I just simply go back to stock ROM? e.g. JVQ/JVR using Odin without any problems?

It is suggested to disable lagfix before changing rom's and kernel's
I know some how would say it is not a must when you use odin, but i always disable it before doing changes. I like to keep it safe.

sorry for this nooob question....
new to the samsung gt i9000, do i need to create a gold card before i do anything else????
sorry to be a bit thick but im used to htc

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running on Semaphore Kernel but I can't find any Lag Fix option on my phone? There isn't any on CWM Recovery as well.
I thought when you use EXT4 and convert it, Lag Fix would show up but I found nothing, so I just converted back to RFS.
So, I'm fine to directly go back to 2.3.4 JVQ even even I have a custom Kernel and custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If you used the EXT4 app and converted to RFS then you have disabled the lagfix.
The lagfix changes the filesystem from RFS to EXT4. so when you converted to RFS yoh disabled it.
So,yes you are good to go.

Gold card?? what??

Also, If I were to flash a JVS Based ROM do I need to be on stock JVS and a JVS Kernel to flash it?
Once on I'm on JVS custom ROM can I just go back again to JVQ stock (Older firmware) without problems?
Really appreciate all your help Bork84!

Basically using odin you can change to JVS and JVQ no problem.
As far as custom rom, from what I know it does not matter on which 2.3.x you are, thay all have the same bootloders. so technically you dont need to be on stock JVS to flash a JVS custom rom.
but I am not an expert on that.
from my experience, i flashed to a JVR (2.3.4) custom rom via CWM from a 2.3.3 stock rom, and didn't had any problems.
So i cant give you a 100% answer

Flashing ICS Updates

Hi All,
This will sound a stupid question, i have flashed SpeedMod Kernal (K3-3) how to i go about flashing a ROM also?
I know most ROMS say how to perform but SpeedMod says no CWM or CIN9 roms?
Anyone help.

What I did:
1. Flash Stock ROM 2.3(choose your country from the Stock Rom topic) with Odin 3
2. Root your device
3. Install CWM
4. Install safe ROM (CM9 as example)

So what ROM are you on now with the speedmod kernel? Stock ICS?
What ROM do you want to go to?

Currently on latest UK ICS 4.0.3 (Offical) rom from Samsung Kies software. Sorry should have stated before not on 2.3.6 anymore.
Any suggestions?

Okay, flash the Speedmod kernel in CWM. This puts you on a safe kernel with stock ICS.
Now, you can flash a CM9 variation of a rom or aokp or one of the other ICS roms that use samsung base.
Edit:
After you flash speedmod, boot up your phone and check settings, about phone, and make sure the kernel is speedmod. Let your phone settle for a little bit, maybe charge if it needs to.
