Hi guys. I got my first android device 2 months ago and I am having lag issues.
This was given to me by my boyfriend and he said this is his old phone. Now what I want to do is to have it rooted so I can install Voodoo LagFix on it, however, since I am a very noob person when it comes to this I need everyone's help if possible.
Here are my phone's specs
GT-I9000
2.3.3
I9000DXJV9
2.6.35.7-I9000DXJV9-CL216763
[email protected]#2
GINGERBREAD.DXJV9
I tried to follow this blog since the one who wrote it said it was easy to follow
bala4linux.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/root-samsung-galaxy-i9000-2-3-3-dxjv9/?like=1&_wpnonce=27d9c2fb53
but when I am trying to put the zImage thingy it seems that I can't see the file after clicking PDA and also i double checked on it and it just says "file". no ".tar"
on it. Maybe my computer can not recognize ".tar" files? I don't really know. I wish you guys can help me. all I want is to get rid of the lag on the phone... btw I have optimized it on every angle possible (cache, move to sd, clear data etc).
My only hope to fix the phone is through voodoo lagfix (i think).
I am really noob on this. If you can please tell me how to do it step by step.
if you can show visuals then it would be very much appreciated.
NOTE:
please do not ask me to ask my boyfriend this and that.
after he left Korea we broke up. also, to clarify i think this phone is the international version since its not from anycall.
Your help is very much appreciated ^_^
EDITED:
Also, please allow me to add. I saw a video on youtube rooting there was a yellow thing on odin upper left. When I did it it was not there... They yellow thing under the green bar stating progress i think? says pass and all that ... I hope it was a big hint on how to root my phone =(( ..
Waiting for your generous help ~_^

Hi guys,
I'm in real need of someone who can help me out, a friend at work asked me to give him my phone (we both have the same galaxy s I9000) because he had a lag fix for it that was really easy... ok i thought... he ran it and now the phone is really fast!! great I think! The then problems started.
When it boots up it shows a new screen that says vibrant (this isn't a vibrant phone its a aussie model i9000)the first sign that things were wrong, then the headphone detection wasn't working, and worst of all i can connect it to a usb or even a power charger without the phone turning off and the battery icon appearing then turning off again indefinably. ohh shiiiit!
I think he may have run the vibrant file not the correct one for the international i9000 i have, so i find the voodoo website and rerun the update with the correct one (used a removable sd card get the files from my pc to the phone) BUT still have the same problems I also tried the “disable lagfix” to roll back but no luck.
SO if anyone can tell me how to dig myself out of this ever deepening hole I will be hugely indebted to you...BIG TIME!!
Are you sure he didn't switch his phone with yours.The lagfix doesn't need a new rom.
From my pov.
He installed vibrant firmware, then installed Voodoo.
Browse flash guides. You still have boot.
flash a new firmware, 2.1 imo. is the best, add voodoo and/or oclf v1.
Must ofc have root priv.

I read a lot of things here and i would like to make my phone to work better.
I would need some help with the 3 button recovery mode, because i cannot put the phone in recovery; i would like to explain me somebody how to fix the lag thing and if possible to put the 2.2 update on it
10x
By the way, i read a lot of posts, i looked it up on the internet how to do stuff and i didn't get it...with all the explenations and the tricks and tips, and very much videos on you tube, now i'm confuse and all the info in my head is jumbled up
So please, who will help me to be prepared to be asked a lot of questions
Upgrading through Kies might be the easiest and fastest way to get Froyo. Install keys and plug in your phone and check for updates, if it doesn't show Froyo as an option (build JP6, JPM, or JPA) then check the how-to threads of how to apply the registry hack to get Kies to upgrade you to Froyo. That's the easiest because then you don't have to worry about recovery (yet) and the newer build will probably include a fix for recovery anyway.
ok , what is Kies?

Hey have you read this sticky yet?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810682
The instructions there are pretty str8 forward and please DO NOT post this type of questions here. There is a question forum for a reason!
Dude U should you the search function, anyway there is no rush to go flash froyo on your SGS right away.
You should try to familiarize yourself to the phone first.

So, recently i bought a samsung captivate, switched over from iphone and i am pretty familiar with jailbreaking iphones and able to do that. however when it comes to android phones and rooting im lost.
okay, the captivate i got from a dude off craigslist, and he said it was suped up and extra fast and rooted. i thought okay well that sounds like a great deal let me check it out. however, homie didnt tell me that he took off the original captivate software and now i have an at&t samsung captivate running on galaxy 19000 and not the original software. I am not able to find anywhere instructions on how to put the original software on the phone and get it back it the brand new factory default. I am not sure if i unroot it would that take the 19000 galaxy Os off and then the original would come back? or do i need to download the original? i cant even find that ive looked all over samsungs website.
Like i said i am pretty good with messing around with iphones and im sure if i just got a step by step instruction on how to fix my issue i could do it i just need some help from someone who knows how and where to find the tools i need to do it. I really appericiate any help you can offer. Thanks!

You can get back to stock, but the i9000 roms are much better then stock. It is likely if you like to play with your phone that you would end up flashing in no time.
What rom are you on
Settings, about phone, bottom
Find the galaxy s (not captivate drivers), then use odin 1 click downloader to revert to stock.
Step 1: install drivers
Step 2: got to download mode. Easiest way is to turn off phone, remove sim and battery, put battery back in, then hold vol up and down buttons while inserting usb. If you get a yellow android symbol that is shoveling, you're golden.
Step 3: use the odin 1 click to revert to stock. On the odin screen, you should see a com port light up and at the bottom "added". If your device is in downolad mode click start.
Step 4: set your phone down, don't touch anything, and watch the magic.
Step 5: (optional) donate to design gears, the person who will have really saved your butt.
u can try this single post if u wan to reflash to original rom..
it got everyting inside.

Hello guys. I'm newer here and I came in fornt of you with one problem (but biggest one). Today I tryed to fixlag with voodoo and S&G tools and something bad it's happend with my phone. I install kernel after that voodoo lag fix and the battery icon. I moved to sd card all those things and after that I reboot my phone and the problem appear. My phone is oppeing but my screen is freezing with the logo "GALAXY S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG" and no other things I can do (only to watch this). How can I recover my phone and the OS? Please someone help me to do something because I don't have any inssurance and I'm f**ked up!
Thanks a lot for helping and have a wonderful day!
Sorry for my language guys.
P.S.: If you don't undestand what I want to explain ask me for a print screen shoot. Thank you.
need to use odin.. get in download mode and reflash a complete firmware like jpu and then any custom f/w you want.
Hi everyone, my first major post asking for help so here goes:
Long story short bust my Samsung Galaxy I9000 yesterday, someone rooted and modded it for me and I lost contact with them.
I would really really appreciate anyone especially one of you hardened vets out there if you could talk me through rooting my replacement, putting these partition thingies on, that cynogen mod ive heard of and a speedy kernal. Basically making my phone lightning fast and reliable. I had a darky rom on my last phone, but think it was well dated?
I ve read the tuts, but I cannott see the wood for the trees, plus I am NOT confident with messing with this kind of stuff at all.
Id like it if someone wouldnt mind taking time out if they could spare an hour or two and do it live with me through msn or something?
I know some of you out there are probably thinking dumb noob, but yhea your right I am.
Thank you so much.
Admins if Ive posted in the wrong place, or asked something out of order apologies in advance. Genuine unconfident laman here.
do you have any rom that you wanted to use?
Hi spyder thanks for a response. To be absolutely honest I have not got a clue.
Some people at work swear by that cynogen mod, I had darkys and had no problems but it was dated. Im well open to suggestions?
I use my phone for everything, internet, maps, games, emails etc, so if you can suggest something whats new, stable, opens my phone to its full potential and easy for me to do Id be happy to try if your willing to help me.
I should get my phone in the next few hours, Ive been waiting for 5 hours now, then hopefully i'll be able to see what software it has pre loaded? whether its gingerbread or honeycomb etc.
darky's rom is nice and it been around for some time though i have never used it. download link and tutorial is included in his thread http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/darkyrom-v10-4-2-xwjw1.6577/
Just recieved my replacement Samsung Galaxy GT I9000
my software details are as follows:
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: I9000BVJV3
Kernal: 2.6.35.7- IBVJVC-CL679241 [email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
HEEELLLP!
Thank you
OK, I think Im going to take the plunge, but can someone please tell me exactly what software, etc I'll need to download?
And I'd like to give cynogen a try, but which pit and tar etc will I need please?
Im confused theres far far too many for me???
Remember I need to know how to root first? from my phone details above??
Thanks guys.
you need to use odin also before using odin kill kies from task manager on your pc.
uninstall kies or kill it
ok first thing you want to do is head over herehttp://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
and download darky rom
once downloaded extract it and put it on your desktop
open odin 1.3 for windows vista and 1.85 for w7
put the pda.tar in the pda section and the pit file in the pit section
simples once you see it
then power of your phone and hold down the volume down power and home at the same time
if you succeed a big orange triangle will pop up plug the phone into the pc
in the box closest to your left a yellow sign will pop up saying com then a number
click the start button and wait for it to do its stuff once booted up you can unplug your phone and go around setting it up!
your phone will be rooted and fast!!!!!
Paintballer - THANKYOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
Phone rooted, brill and easy instructions from the guys page who used the Darky Rom, and most importantly, NO MORE ORANGE JUNK on my device!!!
Cant thank you enough.
