Hi my current mobile state is
Code:
Firmware version : 2.3.4
Baseband version : i897uckh3
kernel version : 2.6.35.7-i897uckh3-CL461307
I want to install clockwork recovery and make nandroid backup of what I already have and then try some cool ROMS around here to find which suits my taste .
Problem is where should I begin from here ??
start by reading the new user guide in my sig.use that info to learn what stickies are and why no one will give you a better answer.
You are SOL. KH3 doesn't have Nandroid back up working. Only 1 kernel actually has CWM and thats Boog's KH3 kernel.

Sorry for the possible repost from other newbies but I really want to make sure I don't $%#& up my phone!!!
I bought a used i9000 and it currently has the following config:
Model: i9000M
Firmware: 2.2
Baseband: I9000XXJPK
Kernal: 2.6.32.9 shout.lee (at) SEP-09 #6
Build: FROYO.UGJL2
I was thinking of trying to put a newer Gingerbread ROM on it or another ROM that is recommened by users here that works really good. What are the key steps to knowing what rom will work on my phone? Do I upgrade the firmware along with the ROM for compatibility issues?
I have tried the tutorials with no luck, no only do they confuse my old a$$ lol, but I tried the ROM manger and clockwork recovery, but my phone always takes me to the samsung recovery instead.
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
Thanks Again!!!
The rom is the firmware sotospeak. Just leave CWM alone for now. I learned the basics by just flashing some stock roms using ODIN. CWM is fun, but it is a part of the kernels, which you don't need to mess with if you upgrade using ODIN.
Even though odin sounds scary, it's lot less complicated than trying to figure out where the clockwork goes in the rom.
Suggest you read this guide: Good guide
It was the first guide which really made things more easy for me.. also I use odin3 v1.0 the guide calls for 1.7. can't vouch for 1.7.
CWM all the way for me and a custom rom .

Ok Thanks for the info... Anybody else with some good in sight....
hi.
i have an sgs i9000:
build: froyo 2.2 XWJPF
baseband: XXJPP
kernel: speedmod-k13e-500hz #36
i've installed speedmod kernel via odin 1.7 to obtain root. I have superuser but somehow I cannot install busybox (even via Market). It's Root Checker that says so: root OK, busybox not OK.
I've installed Rom Manager and when I boot into recovery it goes to CWM recovery 2.5.1. I've already made a nandroid backup.
My question (and for some of the users i've seen in foruns) are:
I want to test some ROMS but i would like first to change to a chainfire kernel, but there is no cf-root with the JPF reference. What kernel should i use?
From the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 I've read that for Froyo firmware has "CF-Root < 2.4 versions" associated.
Does this means that i should get a CF-Root with JPy (y = F or upper) and v2.3 or lower in the zip filename. Is this correct? Following this assumption, can i use CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.zip ?
After that if want to upgrade to a gingerbread ROM or any other available. The kernel used interferes on the ROM planned to use on the upgrade? And after the ROM upgrade the kernel suffers an upgrade too?
The lagfix should be disabled before ROM change and enabled after that, correct?
Sorry for this extensive list of questions, but i think it can help me and other XWXPF build users.
Regards.
Hay dude first go to www.samfirware.com and download a latest gingerbread rom from there and flash that via odin and then dowload the kernel from xda...such as cf root or galaxian or semaphore...the lastest version of rom is jvr...its quite simple

i'm running android 2.3.3(flashed with odin) right now...i tried to install cyanogenmod using a guide form the cyanogen wiki for captivate..!
but a black screen comes up when i try to boot it in clockworkmod..!!i had to reflash android 2.3.3 all over again..!!!(man..did i get a scare o wat..!!!)
the official wiki says that itz meant for android 2.2
is there any way to install it on my captivate running android 2.3.3
or better yet can we install it without clockwork..????
CM7 will flash just fine over 2.3.3. I don't know if there is a way to do it with Odin, but you shouldn't have to. I have flashed it using that wiki numerous times over both stock and 2.3.x and, with the exception of a few boot loops, it has always ultimately worked.
If you are coming from 2.3.3, you will need a kernel with CWM that will work with your ROM. Alternatively, you can downgrade to 2.2 and follow the directions in the wiki.
What ROM are you coming from?
The kernel with cwm in it does not matter if it's compatible with the firmware he's about to flash over, the only requirement is that it has cwm.
Not going to be booting into the os after that kernel flash anyway.
Just flash the kernel with Odin and then yank the battery, button combo into recovery, and follow the rest is the directions...
Btw for future reference, please post ROM specific questions in their respective rom's Q&A sticky.

You don't really have to flash back to stock unless you want to (it won't hurt anything, just make sure you flash back with a bootloader-free package) and I would stay away from the ROM Manager installation method.
thanks a bunch..!!it finally worked...
Newbie here
i got a galaxy S GT-19000, and updated it to 2.3.5 via KIES.
now i want to ROOT and install CWrecovery, but i dont seem to find guide on installing CWrecovery.
pls help
Just flash any kernel... Most of them give u root + cwrecovery...
I personally recommend semaphore kernel... U ll gets its thread in the development section...
First of all, wich 2.3.5 firmware is it?
you can check it on settings -> about phone, look at the baseband version.
Check it out and when you find out you can go to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
when you get there, hit ctrl+f and type in the three last letters in your baseband version.
and follow the guide on that thread!
Hope this helps!
Edit: or do as sbnaul, would recommend semaphore over plain cf-root.
pls can u tell which version of ODIN flasher to use?
Use Odin 1.82
HII ALLL.....
I m a newbie here...
Recently I got an SGS i9000 from my cousin which runs on FROYO 2.2 . Its very outdated so I thought its time that I give my SGS an update. For this I rooted my phone and installed ROM manager so that I can flash clock work recovery in it. But even after flashing CWM successfully it boots in android recovery. Its only then I got to know that my phone rune '3e' recovery and I need '2e' recovery for this.
Since a few days I was browsing on how to revert 3e recovery of mine back to 2e recovery. I found a handful of information regarding the same. A video in Youtube suggesting that I can use ODIN and flash the kernel to speedmod-k12 or i can even download CF_ root_"Build no".tar from xda and flash my kernel to get 2e recovery. Also to take a nandroid backup i need 2e recovery as 3e doesnt show any option for this. Can you suggest me which is the safest and best possible method to do the recovery reverting.
Details of my phone:
Model No : SGS GT-i9000
Firmware : 2.2
Baseband version : I9000JXJPE
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9 [email protected] # 91
Build no : FROYO.JPJPG
Also suggest me, if I am going to flash using CF_ root method , I cant find the kernel related to my build number JPG. Can I use JPE instead of that.
Thank you in advance
i think you wanna flash some gingerbread or maybe ice cream sandwich or jelly bean rom!
but for a person how hanv´t flashed anithing bevor i would suggest you only to flash gingerbread. becouse this ist the last android version suportet by samsung und till now the only one which has a stable releas for custom roms like minu or cyanogenmod (http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s).
the first thing you have to know is i think, that there ar different bootloaders for gingerbread.
so you have to flash them first like discribed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011701
if you have done this you are free to flash any gingerbread (or above) firmeware you want to.
here is a list of some stock firmewares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790&highlight=all+gingerbread+bootloaders
these are not the fastest rom´s but they are stable, becouse they are made by samsung and there is only root integratet.
about the efs folder discribed in this thread. the efs folder is the lokation of your IMEI. in some crazy situations, most times only in not heavy testet alpha releases of for exemple cyenogenmod, ur IMEI get erased and with the safed es folder you can backup it the easy way.
for me personaly the best rom´s ever made are based on cyanogenmod. so if you wanne test it here is an update guid how to get cyanogenmod 7 (based on gingerbread): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
i hope i may helped you a litle
Hey
For flashing ics or jb u need 2.3.6..so if kies still recognises ur phone..i say update it from there...
If it doesnt goto sammobile.com and signup and download the firmware u need and also the flashprograms,flashguides...
Its simply...
Cheers

Thanks for your guidance.....
Sorry 4 being a noob...But let me ask u something...Isnt it betr 2 take a nandroid backup before i proceed with the installation of gingerbread..Incase if it gets bricked i can restore it back ....
Since my recovery is 3e there is no option of backup and recovery...I used a rom manager and flashed CWM ...but read somewhere that CWM works only wid 2e recovery ... So I just wanted to revert back my phone recovery to 2e...I saw in youtube a video showing that if i flash my kernel with speedmod-K12-500hz using odin, I get a speedmod kernel and CWM recovery....
I was not sure whether doing this would cause any probs to the device or is it ok to flash speedmod kernel..???
Thanx in advance

Thanx 4 ur reply....
My internet connection is not tat gud ..so i wudnt prefer updating via kies.....
I downloaded XXJVU 2.3.6 from androidsoul.com... I m just a bit worried that I cant get a nandroid backup cos my recovery being 3e ....I have already flashed to CWM using Rom manager..but it wud work only on 2e recovery...
So wat i wanted 2 ask is can i flash my kernel to speedmod-K12 for CWM recovery.....or is there a betr suggestion frm ur side...??
speedmod kernal is a good choice! i did it that way i flashed the first time.
i don´t know the number of speedmod for froyo but i think you have posted the corect number of the kernel.
if you want to be 100% sure that you won´t lose your contakts you can use myphonexplorer to backup them to your computer bevor you flash spedmod

Thnx in advance...
Dial in your phone: *#1234#
Look at CSC, it should be like CSC: I9000123456, the last 6 digits/letters are the CSC string, the first 3 letters of are your CSC code (Example: XEU, ITV, XSA...etc.).
Go to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and download the firmware for your region and extract by using 7zip.
Enter Download Mode on your device and flash the firmware using Odin.
Find a Kernel with a build in CWM, almost all developers Kernels has that, flash as PDA.
Now you are ready to flash any ROM you like using CWM.
Take your time and read to know what you need to do and how.
Best of luck
