[Q] Vodoo-Froyo Kernel+ROM to GB Kernel+ROM? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello professionals!
I am currently on a vodoo kernel, the bootmenu shows it has ClockWork Recovery 2.5.1. and vodoo lagfix.
Ontop of that I use the stock Samsung ROM with Vodoo Sound.
Root is enabled.
Now I want to upgrade to Gingerbread.
The problem: I don't quite remeber what I did half a year ago and what was important. I followed some guide on here.
Do I have to revert anything?
And how would I go flashing GB? Just use the update.zip on the SD to flash a new Kernel out of recovery mode through CWM and then flash the ROM the same way?

I'd recommend reverting ext4 to rfs filesystem, then flash a complete stock GB firmware /with/ GB bootloaders, after that you can grab any rom/kernel you want if you don't like stock.
GB and froyo bootloaders are different, so if you just try to flash a new gb rom with CWM directly you'd probably softbrick the phone or something

i think the best way is flash newest gingbread rom( JVS 2.3.5) with odin, in odin you need to tick "repartition" and "update bootloader" ! <=this is very important if you used lagfix and froyo rom.

wouldn't a stock GB firmware/bootloader kind of crash with most kernels/roms out there?
Just to be sure, the order is:
-firmware
-then bootloader
-then kernel
-then rom
??
All that after reverting the lagfix and all that via ODIN?

[Q] clockwork and voodoo kernel issue

Hello.
So i've got a problem with my I9000.
I've upgraded it to froyo, official release, so i'm stuck with the 3e recovery.I recently flashed the voodoo lagfix kernel via Odin. I would like to get clockwork recovery to replace 3e, but I understand i have to flash it via Odin, too. My question is : Is clockwork's kernel going to replace voodoo? If so, how can i have them both?
Thanks a lot in advance.
if you upgrade offical froyo then u must first do a root..the root files can be find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108...download correct root for your firmwire phone...then flash it tru odin..when u done with that u must download a rom manager from market...and install it to get clockwork mode =)
I wouldn't follow the previous poster's advice.
If you're going to use cwm, why do you want stock firmware? Try flashing speedmod kernel to get cwm, which has built in root and lagfix accesable from recovery. Or just go to a custom fw like docrom kitchen.
Best procedure for going custom with the sgs is a single flash of speedmod w/ cwm from odin, and then flash anything else via cwm.

[Q] How to downgrade speedmod kernel from K13e to K13c

Hi All,
Reason for this question is that, first of all I wanted to root my newly bought SGS GT-I9000 (2.2 DDJP6) So, flashed speedmod kernel K13E (latest). Later, when I wanted to install MIUI rom, as per the instruction one need to flash K13C kernel.
But, whenever I try to flash SM - K13C kernel on top of K13E, I tend to soft-brick my phone (BSOD). I need to once again flash K13E to get back my SGS to work.
So, in order for me to get on to MIUI rom, I have two options...
1) Downgrade K13E to K13C kernel. And continue to flash MIUI rom.
2) Restore my kernel to stock kernel first. Then start flashing K13C and continue to flash MIUI rom.
Can somebody please suggest, which option would be best and highly feasible?
Thanks in advance for the responses
Prabhu.
i dont think it matters what version of speedmod you are on, its only so you have CWM to flash the cyanogen kernel.
but anyway if you want to downgrade just download the one you need k13c and flash it thru CWM or ODIN and it will overwrite your previous kernel
I did try to flash K13C on top of K13E. Odin just froze at <ID:0/022> zImage step.
Please find the snapshot attached.
how long has it been like that. ?? try to find a CWM version and see if that works.
or just flash miui with your current kernel
If u want to get on miui, follow the guide on theandroidsoul.com/net.....good to have a clean start with ezbase2.0

I tried the CMW version of speedmod k13c and was successful. But, while flashing the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar from odin again, I got stuck in the below attached odin screen.
Is there any CWM version for the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar? What is that I am doing different?

From Stock Froyo to a RomKitchen Gingerbread ROM

Hi, So I have a Australian Galaxy S i9000 with stock 2.2 DTJP5.
I have finally decided to try a RomKitchen Gingerbread ROM, but I am not sure exactly what the entire process is.
Do I:
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Flash Gingerbread Bootloaders with Odin
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
or perhaps:
-Flash a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders using Odin
-Root the phone
-Install ClockworkMod
-Install the produced RomKitchen ROM with clockworkmod.
I cant find instructions that go into enough detail for the current Base ROM's on the RomKitchen Generator though, like,
-Which Base ROM should I choose- JV5, JV9 or JVO?
-Exactly what bootloaders and where from, do I get to flash first?
Also, is it easy to get back to my current stock, so I can update when Gingerbread is released officially?
Hoping someone has had some success and can help me out, Thanks!
Ok, now you have Froyo and you want to have GB.
So you'll need GB bootloaders. I would do it like this:
- wipe/format your internal sd
- Put the Kitchen-ROM on your internal sd
- Flash the Gingerbread-bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089989
- Go into recovery and flash the Kitchen-ROM
I've used the bootloader to install CM7, works very fine and downloading only the bootloader goes much faster than a ~200MB complete firmware from samfirmware.com or out of the XDA-forum here.
go with installing the stock gingerbread rom first..it is always safe. better safe than sorry
what i usually do...its a lengthy one...flash stock gingerbread, select a kernel with CWM, place the ROM in SD or EX-SD and install thru update.zip option.
which base are you looking for? JVO has got many themes now. and so does JVP.
its always a good option to check whether you have 3e recovery enabled!
Thanks!
What I ended up doing:
1) Flashed a Gingerbread stock ROM with bootloaders (JVP from samfirmware.com) using Odin
2) Flashed this kernel [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519] with Odin
3) Used ClockworkMod to install the RomKitchen ROM
4) Did ext4 conversion, root, etc from ClockworkMod
5) Also managed to get a custom boot animation working
Good, and if everything went fine, you won't have any problems.
Is it OK to flash a new non-wipe RomKitchen ROM with a different kernel to the current kernel?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes definitely, but remember to disable any lagfix if the new kernel does not support lagfix

[Q] Back to Eclair Stock ROM from Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Stock)

I can flash directly from Gingerbread? I tried 2 times with OdinOne Click flash but I have not flash because Odin gets stuck in factoryfs. Thanks to USB JIG I managed to revive my Captivate.
yes you can, but why?
odin sometimes locks up. keep trying. where did you get this one click?
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I will try with a file .tar i got. I need Flash CyanogenMod 7.1, the Stock ROM Gingerbread is worse than Eclair, I am disappointed, I thought it would be better
Another question. It is necessary wipe/data before flash with Odin?
Just flash CM7 from where you are now. And Odin wipes it for you

Are you sure that I can flash directly from Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Stock) to a ROM CyanogenMod 7.1 (Official)? Had I known it would not be with the disastrous Stock ROM 2.3.5. And from any Custom Kernel? I have Corn Kernel v7.06
Yes flash it with CWM Recovery and it will boot loop (supposed to happen). Pull the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery and wipe everything then flash CyanogenMod and Gapps. Reboot and you're good to go. If you wanna flash a custom kernel I recommend Glitch 13.1

[Q] Partial Brick?

Hey guys, hope you guys can help me answer my question.
I always am not able to update any rom via the zip file.
For example i am now on Ice cream sandwich Kingdroid. I want to flash abyss kernal but it hang in the recovery saying updating files.
My only way of changing roms is to use ODIN to downgrade to factory gingerbread and go back up again to any rom i wish to use.
This happen with any rom, liquid or anything, i just can't flash any rom in CWM.
Is my phone partially brick from fullwiping on a icecream kernal previously?
I don't think so, you should flash stock GB rom with Odin (the rom must have 4 files, PIT, CODE (PDA), CSC and Modem (PHONE).
You must enable "repartition" on Odin.
After that your Note will be like out from factory.
I think you are not fully rooted, flash franco kernel and from franco recovery flash abyss kernel and then do full wipe and then install any custom rom and see wether you are fully rooted????
