[Q] Flashing Custom ROM with ODIN

Hello XDA,
I've used ODIN to flash to my default ROM on a few occasions when my SGS decided to not boot. This is a sort of pain, since I flash back to stock 2.1, then I have to upgrade to Darky 8.0 on 2.2 to access the "Darky Configurator" and then flash again to the latest Darky after using the configurator application.
Are there default 2.2 roms available? I couldn't find any. If not, can you use Odin to flash to a custom rom like Darky's?

I now realized that Darky has just released an Odin version, perfect!

[Q] How to go back to stock rom from 9.2Darky with voodo kernel

[Q] Why wont it flash?

Hi guys. I got a problem with sgs.
SOme time ago I've updated from stock froyo to simply honey 3.3. it's running on 2.3.3 JVO firmware and speedmod JVH kernel. Now i want to update to jvp and install tiramisu rom. I did that, but it shows that its still JVO/JVH and its 2.3.3.
I think i did everything right.
First i flashed stock JVP over to current rom in odin with pit
then kernel
and then via cwm rom.
ROm is installed correctly. THere are some bug, but i think its due to the fact that its based on jvo. how can i install the firmware i want?

any ideas/.

Flash stock-JVP (in Odin with PIT-file + Re-Partition) and then the ROM with CWM, it must work.

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] Vodoo-Froyo Kernel+ROM to GB Kernel+ROM?

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?
