In order to run a Gingerbread Rom, you must have the Gingerbread Bootloaders.
The Roms that you want to flash will have Instructions on how to install, in that Rom's OP. There will be detailed instructions provided by the Developer of that specific Rom.

having a wierd problem, as the title says i am unalbe to change roms and have it boot.ever since i flashed the ROGERS 2.3.3 (containing i896 ROGERS bootloaders)
no big surprise i didnt like it.
while reading this keep in mind i have alot of experience flashing, and yes lagfix was disabled!
odin flashed a CWM kernel (one was using before rogers)
restored Nandroid. (of before ROGERS)
stuck at kernel screen
Flashed different kernel compatible with rom.
stuck at kernel screen
Loaded CWM to flash a custom rom.zip
flashed OK
reboot stuck at kernel screen
Odin flashed i9000 gingerbread (with i9000 GB bootloaders) from few months ago
stuck at kernel
Odin flashed ROGERS 2.1 eclair stock.
stuck at kernel
Odin flashed ATT one click
SUCCESS!!
Odin flahsed Rogers 2.1 eclair
SUCCESS!!
ODIN flashed i897 ATT GB bootloaders
ODIN flashed CWM kernel CWM flash ROM
Restore NANDROID
SUCCESS!!
finally back to normal...**never flashing rogers 2,3,3 again!
or so i thought.
got bored and went to flash a different ROM
STUCK AT KERNEL
had to repeat all above steps!! ALL before it was back to *normal* again
any thoughts to what got permanently messed up????
Did you try reformatting system and cache before flashing a new ROM in cwm? (i'm just guessing here)
yes and the Odin one click re-partitions - wiping everything known.but still the problem exists after flashing my 1st custom rom i am unable to boot into a second ANY rom (stock or custom)
and this is VERY frustrating as i just finnished my own custom ROM and am unable to quickly flash test versions.!!
I don't know. Odin one click should have fixed everything. Did you master clear/reformat the internal Sd?
no not the internal sd.
also i remembered at one point right after being on ROGERS stock 2.3.3
the first rom i tried flashing was a custom build I made with a kitchen tool using cygwin.
anyways after flashing and failing, i noticed the update script i created flashed the zimage to 2 different dev/bml blocks!! one i never seen before.
i stopped using that kitchen tool but is it possible it flashed something to a dev block that odin one click isnt clearing? but it repartitions. that should clear EVERYTHING!
still my problem presists...
flashing issues. cracked screen. might be time to buy a new phone.....
You could use Heimdall to dump your partitions and find out.

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!
How can i flash Stock Froyo/Gingerbread trough Odin? Can`t find anything usefull @ google
btw i can reach Recovery Mode (CWM / Speedmonk something)
(Kinda experienced by flashing around with my N1 for around 2 years now, but never heard about this Odin Program)
thanks for help anyway

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays

after successfully flashing CM9 to my Defy I convinced my friend to go to ICS as well...so far so good/bad!
I followed the guide to install CMW recovery and did a backup of the stock ROM.
After this I copied CM9 nightly and the google apps package to the internal memory...apperantely the zip package of the google apps was bad, so i tried to boot into CM9..it took a damn long time, so I removed the battery (OK, bad move...but so be it don't bit*h about it!)..CM9 booted but said someting about "encryption of the storage failed..please do a factory wipe"......I did so, using CWM recovery...which ended me up in a boot loop without having access to CMW recvry.
So I thought, flashing the zImage again with heimdall will have the bootloader rewritten (maybe the 2nd bad move this day) so I can access recovery again...I imagined zImage was kinda like a BIOS of a PC...apparently it is NOT
After some google-f00 I found out I have to flash an official FW from samsung, with repartitioning,using odin, am I right?
But the probel is, that they tell me to do a *#7465625# to find out details about the stock firmware...but this is not bossible because the phone hangs at the galaxy s boot logo.
So my question is...what can I do to access either recovery or the stock firmware with a phone stuck at boot logo (i can boot into download mode) and having only a nandroid backup of the stock rom?
Can anybody tell me what to do without spending 200 coins to obtain another SGS for my friend (Yeah, I told him that the risk is to brick the SGS, but I have a kind of guilty conscience.
Hope someone can help...
Thanks a lot!
Odin doesnt care about whats currently on your phone . Just go to samfirmware. Com, find a nice stock rom (2.3.3) for i9000, and flash it with odin. If you dont know how to use odin: use the search button in the i9000 section ''how to use odin''. keep us updated / or if you have any other questions :thumbup:

hey
when i screwed my sgs, odin + darky ressurection rom helped
i can't post a link , google "Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition.zip" ,though i can't remember if i used that version. some got removed, try to look for a sourceforge link. That still works
and see the reply above how to use odin
Hey,
There are also lots of tutorials on youtube, and other sites to show how to flash an original rom. I also screwed up my install of CM9. And then I followed this guide to get the original rom running again.
w w w.theandroidsoul.com/download-install-xxjvs-firmware-update-galaxy-s-i9000-to-android-2-3-5/
After that, use this link for rooting + CWM:

hmmm... i read from another site there are some custom rom that requires the phone to be in a rooted stock rom or another custom rom...
example:
to install Galaxy S GT I9000 with Orange Amestris v7.3 ROM Custom Firmware you need to be on stock XWJW1 or XXJVU Firmware since the baseband of "amestris" would be on xwjw1 or xxjvu or custom rom with the same baseband...
what stock rom/firmware the phone was in anyway?im guessing gingerbread stock rom? you still got a chance to update it right since you can access download mode...
from what i can remember, i updated my boyfrnd's s2 from gingerbread to official ics from "sammobile".com (remove quote)
then updated it to a custom rom...
well this might be irrelevant but this is how i updated my galaxy s:
well on my galaxy s i updated it from gingerbread stock rom rooted to gingerbread miui then to ics miui andy's version, since im on ics i have successfully tried different ics custom rom like darknight, slimics, elite etc...
hope this kinda help =]
Thanks a lot...I flashed the original firmware (it didn't start properly, but I don't care) and with this was able to flash the zImage again...then I was able to access bootloader and reinstall CM9
Hi everyone,
First time posting, I was on Simplicity rom 2.2.1, playing tiny tower while my alarms were going off. Next thing I know, the whole phone (GT-i9000) crashes and its stuck in an infinite bootloop. I can get into download mode easy enough and I tried flashing to a heap of stock roms: JVT, JVU, JVH and JVN. Nothing worked. I couldn't get into recovery mode, but after flashing the original CWM7 kernel I could.
Tried wiping everything in recovery, including dalvik cache, then flashing back to Simplicity in CWM. Again, nothing working, in fact nothing at all. Tried stock again, not working. Tried flashing some other kernels, didn't work either. Curiously I tried flashing darkys rom RE 10.5 in ODIN and it failed at repartitioning. Not sure if there's anything behind that. Anyway, I don't really know what to do next, so I'm here.
i tried without repartition with repartition etc and it would always fail.. but then i tried again put repartition set pit file and now..its flashing it! so trying more might help you. btw im using darky resurrection
That didn't work, it only lets me attempt one ODIN flash per entry into download, then I have to reset the phone to try again.
Make sure flashing a rom with bootloader.

I've always been cautious about bootloaders, I read somewhere that if you do it wrong it will completely brick your phone. Can you tell me how to do this safely?
you need to flash stock rom 2.1 with three parts and pit 512 and repartition checked, if didnt work try with out repatition
Can you provide a link for stock 2.1? I can't find one.
Found one with a bootloader, used ODIN, and it worked! Then went to stock JVU, updated to speedmod kernel (still working) but then I tried to update to SURFACE rom and I'm back to square one. Bootloops.
Tried more stocks roms with bootloaders, none of them working. I can get to recovery again if I flash CWM7 kernel like before.

Sorry when I say bootloaders I mean they are built into the rom. I never flash them separately. The above link is a great resource to firmware with bootloaders. The newest gingerbread firmware is JW6... Try that or one of the others. I'm currently on JW5, with semaphore 2.7.4 kernel and DMore 3.3 Rom, it's rock solid. Hope you get it sorted.

Yeah I found this thread earlier, I did flash with JW6, doesn't work.
So instead I just accidentally flashed a ROM for the Galaxy Tab, now my phone won't turn on at all, I'm afraid I just bricked it for reals. Can't enter download mode, completely dead boot.

Hello there
After experienced many times upgrading rom from stock firmware to ICS custom, I have a trick for myself and want to share it to you all! That is how to boot into an ICS rom without appearance of kernel splash screen
** Note: This trick is useful with AT&T bootloader only, i've tested with i9k bootloader but unsuccessful.
What needed:
1. Eclair stock firmware: (needed if you're on any custom rom, if you're using stock then don't need to load this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
2. Speedmod kernel (to get CWM): this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 ---> download speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar in attachments box at the bottom of post #1.
3. Elite 10.1 for Captivate (must have): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567102
4. Your favorite rom, or if Elite is good enough to you, then you don't need to download anymore! Don't forget to put these rom into your Cappy sdcard!
Here's the sequence of work:
Again, if you're on stock rom without CWM, then ignore step 1 and jump to step 2!
1. Download mode --> Odin --> back to stock Eclair with AT&T boot loader
2. Download mode --> Odin --> flash Speedmod kernel to get Clockwork Mod Recovery, by putting the file speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz.tar you've loaded above into PDA box in Odin, then Start and wait till completed
3. Recovery mode --> Install .zip file of Elite 10.1 ROM, wait till finished and you can boot into Elite successfully. You can ignore this booting process if you don't want to use this ROM, by taking battery pack out!
4. Recovery mode --> Flash your favourite rom and kernel in your usual way (wipe cache, dalvik or full wipe)
5. Reboot and you will see, Cappy shows only the AT&T splash screen and never lets any kernel have a chance to show its own logo!
I've tested with these ROM: CM9 nightly, SlimICS, ICSSGS with exact steps above and the results are the same: great! I've not tried with AOKP yet, but I think it should work!
If anyone try this with AOKP and everything's ok, plz comment so that I'll update into this post!
Hope it helps many Cappy's owners!
this seems stupid
i would rather get rid of the AT&T logo from booting than the kernel splash screen
Ahh then you can use i9000 bootloader!

Here's your topic: [MOD] Custom Boot Screen (for Gingerbread ROM's)
I attached a param.lfs tar for UCKF1 stock rom
no Eclair for my replacement phone
Ever since I got a replacement phone (by AT&T warranty) I cannot install Eclair 2.1 using Odin into it.
I can only use the Odin for going back to 2.2 and 2.3
If I install 2.1 on it I get a bootloop and sometimes it bricks - only a jig can get it back to life.
Do you think this will work with 2.2 ?

I think it's possible. I used to upgrade to ICS from 2.3.5 stock rom with AT&T bootloader and this trick was useful that time. So firstly, u should try to do this trick directly on ur stock 2.2. I believe it will work! But if it won't, u need to upgrade to 2.3, then do the same process!

Thanks. Maybe it's better for me just to try is from 2.3 stock right away and not to bother with 2.2
Anyway, I'll try it if I ever have to go back to stock for any reason.
This kernel splash screen doesn't bother me it it's nice to know how to remove it
