I am an EX iPhone user... I decided to switch to android because I like it beter than iOS and also because of Apple ways of treating the users. Well My Request is the following:
I really like this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091 and I want to flash it on my galaxy s i9000XXJPP (PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED SCREENSHOT).
I updated via Kies from Eclair to Froyo.
I have recovery 3e.
I have installed ROM Manager... I tried to install the CWM from it but after I clicked boot into CWM, it just reboted into recovery 3e.
I have installed EXT2 tools and one click lagfix using the oclf from the market.
I have rooted my device using z4root.
I really do not know what are the steps to do that.
Can someone please help through the process of flashing this RAM? I do not want to wipe my data/settings/apps.
I experience the following issues with my SGS i9000:
Sometimes the reboot (boot) of the device does not go smooth and it shutsdown and re-reboots and it does that several times until I plug the usb cable. ALSO sometimes when I reboot (boot) while the USB cable is blugged in it does the same thing until I unplug the usb cable.
The battery life is very bad when using WIFI of watching a film etc...
The reception is bad and sometimes people call me but they get voicemail directly and then I recieve an sms from the provider telling me that somebody has called while my phone was unreachable. When I take the battery out and then put it in and turn on my device I get 4 signal bars, after a while I get 1 bar or nothing at all. I tested that and that's what happens all the time.
I need to get red of these issues... I hoop this ROM will do that.
I will really appretiate it if somebody writes a guide for me here.
Thanks in advance,
Firstly you'll need recovery 2e to be able to install clockworkmod. Follow the instructions here
Once you've install recovery 2e, flash clockworkmod. After that, you can backup your rom just incase anything goes wrong by using Rom Manager.
Then just download the latest version of Darky's rom, you can either have a no wipe version or a wipe version. Follow the instructions on the post for Darky's Rom.
I'm using Darky's Rom and it's sweeeeet. An awesome rom I must say
Hopefully that helped
Tell me how it goes and good luck!

Hi guys, I need some help..
I have had my SGS for over a year now and decided today i wanted to root it and do all the stuff that comes with that... anyways so i rooted it and then tried installing cyanogenmod but i got a bootloop which i thought fair enough ill just put the phone back into download mode and download my firmeware of i9000xxjvt again. this was no problem, however... this unrooted my phone i think becasue i didnt see superuser or cwm in my apps again. so then i tried rooting my phone again but i think i picked the wrong file in the PDA part of odin and my phone screen turned off and ODIN said fail or somethign similar. Then i tried turning my phone on and it now has this icon;
well i cant post links but if you go on tinyurl and add "/6o3dt8y" after it you'll see
im so scared iv ruined it, i dont have insurance but it is covered under my parents house contents cover.. i dont wanna have to go through that though. any suggestions? i havent tried removing the battery to turn it off btw it's still on that screen because im scared of doing further damage.. dont know how long the battery will last tho.

Hey, first of all, don't panic, there's nothing wrong that can't be fixed. You should still be able to put your phone into download mode. After that, just flash it with the correct files via Odin, that's all. I recommend downloading jvu firmware instead of jvt. After that you should be able to flash a custom kernel, my recommendation is Semaphore (look for it in the development section). Then flash cyanogenmod via recovery menu. If it starts flashing, then you get into a bootloop, just pull your battery at some point and pull your external sd card. (I had this issue too.) Then put your battery back (but not the sd card) and you will be able to install it correctly. Cheers
Sent from my sgs Please hit thanks if I helped!
You have the i9000? Because I see a restore procedure for i9001 on the server your 'bsod' image is hosted: http://www.broodplank.net/flashsamsungi9001.php
The only think different is the firmware you need and the Odin version. Don't use the multidownloader, but for instance Odin3 v1.85.
I'd recommend cf-root kernel, it's "rooting for beginners" and still enough to be able to flash Cyanogenmod. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Just pull out the battery. I too had a lot of soft bricks this week and you wouldn't believe how many times I had to pull out the battery, lol.
Just try to flash some stock gingerbread rom's and see which one makes your phone work again.
If you can't get into download mode anymore. Pull out the battery, connect your phone to your pc via usb, push volume up and down simultaniously and lastly put in the battery. It should boot up into download mode.
Thanks so much guys I was really scared I ruined the phone. Pulling out the battery worked and putting it into download mode was easy after that. I flashed jvt again because I couldn't find jvu and then flashed cyanogenmod successfully, I removed my external SD this time tyo avoid the boot loop. i will try again later with semaphore kernal first but again thanks a lot people.
so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"
well, yesterday my brother brought me his cellphone which doesn't boot anymore, he wanned to install a custom rom since he saw that i have a fast one (galaxy s I)
so when i asked him what he did , he said he followed all the steps in rootgalaxynoteDOTcom/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v3-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/[/url]
but then, his phone didn't boot, so he wiped - reset factory setting, which i read is a BIG NO when you're flashing ICS.
so whats done is done, i am trying to get it back , i can boot in recovery mode/download mode ... i tried out many kernels like AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo or speedmod, and downloaded at least 4 or 5 GB stock roms.
sadly , if odin flash is successful, it stuck on (samsung galaxy note gt-n7000) black srcreen, reboots few times then stays still...
if the odin flash wasn't successful , it keeps stuck on data.img and never goes beyond that .
i did all the steps i could find, wiped data after installed stock GB rom and rebooted, nothing worked
i even used rogue_ET-recoveryonly , and i think it went along format all the way, but still nothing happened after that.
the only thing i haven't tried yet was the repartition + pit file, i couldn't find the PIT , most of the roms have pda/modem/csc ... so if anyone can help out, i would really appreciate it ..
thanks
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...
thanks, no it doesn't get stuck at factoryfs at all , i did check out most of the threads here, and most of them say "go back to GB with odin and if its stuck on samsung gt-n7000 boot screen just go back with recovery mode and then wipe data / cache " but never worked, so i thought i should ask around here
i'll check out the threads you posted and see what i can come up with
weird, i used the 16gb pit - repartition (check)
and i flashed it with SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS through odin.
and its still the same, the flashing with odin was successful and everything went fine, no hanging , no delays or what so ever. after it restarts its stuck on the black samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 screen
im gonna wipe data / cache again but i doubt that would fix anything.
so any idea what could be wrong? specially when the flashing process went fine?
i've already tried like 4 stock roms ,
arabic uae , europe , saudia and the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS
i wonder if i need to put something in boot space in odin "just a thought"
ive tried downloading roms from here [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LQ3
and here [STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle
any ideas?
For OP:
If you are not stucking while flashing from PC Odin then you are not superbricked.
I think you got corrupted /system or other partition; I saw another thread where OP was getting this sort of hang due to filesystem corruption which can't mount.
Entropy512 gave simple dd command based solution for erasing initial 1MB of partition.
Try searching for corrupted filesystem/partition related information. I can't recall exact thread title, sorry.
I hope this will help.

Should try to install/reinstall samsung usb driver package. or try reinstall Kies also provide drivers for Note.
If driver is install properly: when connect with PC using usb cable it need to be shown under hardware management as something like "android composite adb interface" or something like that.

Also are you trying to connect adb after booting the phone ? Means in a stuck state ? I think you can try enabling ADB thing from CWM rather than trying to boot phone fully.
hmm i can't find an option in CWM that suggests that , still searching
also im trying to find roms that i can install from CWM , are there any GB roms that can be directly installed from CWM ?
thanks.

Hi: I understand he means boot the phone into CWM and then connect to PC in that environment. adb need to be run from PC while the phone is booted into CWM recovery.
Still, most of the custom roms are in the .zip format and can be install using CWM. they just now become a bit more difficult to find since dev move on to ICS/CM9 roms. Still try to find some GB roms in the forum such as: rocket GB, litening GB, xtralite GB....
This is the link for Rocket rom GB. Better try v22 than v23.

Yes, recovery mode is in CWM. (in case you have not done it: Enter recovery by,from phone power off: pressing volumeup + home + power and release power when see samsung letter while still hole the other two buttons.)

hmm. that should be still the problem with usb driver. Have you checked under hardware management if it show the device as "samsung composite adb interface" yet?
kernel should not be the problem with connecting adb. It is the problem with usb driver for Note. Sometime Win7 have problem with driver. You may want to search for another package of samsung usb driver on the web.
I did put some links of GB roms in the post in the previous page. maybe try them first if any luck.
Also try to restart computer to see if the driver issues get solved.
Got to go. Hope that you can solve the problem. GL.

thanks, i restarted my pc , reinstalled kies, and now it shows under device manager
now i connect to the phone through adb , i appreciate you pointing it out
which method you think i should go for 1st? this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
or unzipping a rom and then pushing it all through adb?
i think i'll go for removing and repartitioning manually, hopefully it'll work
thanks again guys , i'll post the updates here,
lol, my brother called me and he's like "if u can't fix it by the end of the night, fk it, dont bother yourself with it" but to be honest, im too stubborn, i hope i can fix it
looks like deleting and adding partitions back through parted kinda work, for the first time i was able to pass the boot screen after i installed rocketrom from CWM
however, its been 1/2 hour since im stuck on rocketrom loading screen it keeps looping and looping.. i wonder if i should wait more.. or should i try another rom?
finally got rid of the verification -.- was kinda annoying thats why i didn't bother editing posts,
anyways, rocketrom didn't work, so i decided to flash a stock rom instead , the flash through odin went fine, it was great to be able to wipe data without getting stuck , however, it keeps going though samsung animation over and over, i think im gonna leave it like this one the charger till morning, i wonder if it'll be the same
guess i have to google for "samsung loop" , i wonder why this keeps happening though -.-
-.- leaving it for 6 hours on samsung logo animation didn't do the trick , still looping when i woke up, so i guess i'll do some more search on why this is happening.
You have checked partitions and see no error that means the problem lies somewhere else, not partitions. I have no idea yet, but for me I would try some different roms. Small roms have more chance to work, that is the feedback I got from some people:
- try check rom in the link I sent
- try paranoid android which is CM9, or asylum
- extralite
cheers.

thanks buddy, i appreciate your help, the partition "USED" to give me error when i did the check 9 10 11 , but after removing the partition and reformatting them (and i also removed the cache partition) now its working fine "i suppose" i didn't do another check, but i might will now that you mention it.
i already tried rocket rom, didn't work, stock rom didn't work, so i'll give the others a try at least it doesn't get stuck on the boot screen, but its stuck on the animation logo which is an improvement
thanks again
Hey all,
I have recently been given a phone by a friend, a SGS i9000. He bought it as is, and being n00b he couldnt describe anything to me about how or why it was like this. As I have a i9000 myself I took a bit of a look at it, I have no idea what firmware,rom,kernel etc is on it. After researching around it seems to be locked in a bootloop, I can not access any recovery menu, if I hold the power + home button I get the screen below (found this button combo somewhere in the forums, attaining to the Samsung anycall, korean?), but when plugged into my computer it comes up saying "windows could not recognize device blah blah". Any hope??? Last resort will be to get a jig, but ive never had to use them before and not sure if it will solve my issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Identify what Phone it could be by checking its top corner for a Tucked in TV Antenna ...if you can pull out an Antenna its an M110S, if not it is an i9000 flashed with a wrong ROM. IF its M110S , just use PIT STOP link below to resolve using How to flash guide
The Anycall screen you are getting means it is still in download mode and can be detected by Odin, if not do a battery pull ( follow My Android Solutions, link below)

Thanks for your reply.
I have looked to see if there is an antenna, nothing there. Ive tried rebooting the PC, and done a battery pull. Whilst in bootloop ive plugged in the phone, nothing comes up. Whilst in download mode, ive plugged in the phone, device detected but unrecognized. I removed everything......then......
1) Uninstalled all drivers and KIES from my PC > Reboot
2) Went to Android solutions, started with step one, no help.
3) Went onto step 2 (Problem:- Cannot connect to PC or Unknown Device, getting Code 43 or any other code or NO response when using USB cable),I checked to see if any pins were bent, and cleaned the contacts using some mini brushes I had. I am using a Samsung USB, same one i use for my i9000, which works 100%. Installed and tried every driver seperately, whilst trying to see if odin would detect anything.
NOTHING :crying:
Tried different ports etc. The only response I get is when ive put the phone into download mode (Home+Power), then all I get when connected to PC is "USB Device not Recognized". Im grateful that I get that, but cant do much else haha.
Can you suggest anything else?? can I even use the jig as a last resort???
Did you remember that you need to reinstall drivers?

I think the solution to your problem has been found, and your phone is actually an M110S Anycall galaxy S..read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888319...so you need to use the M110S repair kit, download from Pit Stop, link below and flash as per guide or like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28174768&postcount=4774
First of all I would like to thank you xsenman, your posts and guides on these forums have been a huge help. Going along with what you said in your last post, I have started downloading the repair kit, then hopefully do an official update for here (Australia).
I just want to add, you may want to add the the following as a solution to a lot of problems (it helped me verify).
I had a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30797809&postcount=1
And about half way through the thread is IMEI check
I entered the IMEI from my phone (an official samsung gti9000), and it came back with a result saying exactly that.
I then entered the IMEI from my friends phone (bought from ebay >:/ go figure), and it came back saying it was M110S but so has it that the internal sticker on my friends phone says model: GT-i9000
If anyone else gets into a confusion like I have, which it is hard to tell if its fake or not. Posting/sticky the imei check will save a lot of time, heart ache and possibly from creating a $200 paper weight.
Once again thank you so much, hopefully this repair kit will work and the phone will be up and running.
:good:
Ok... I'm a NOOB I know, but I screwed up BIG TIME.
Here's my problem (also sorry if this is the wrong place)
I got my Samsung Galaxy S today and I wanted to root and upgrade from 2.3.6 to the most recent ICS that was stable with the phone.
I believe I rooted my phone correctly their was no problem there.
Went in Recovery
It was fine at the most part, cleared out the Cache and all that jazz.
Then Installed Cyanogen, That was fine also.
then... I cleared out the cache and etc again and installed the second file...
then this is where ALL the problems started...
So I installed the second file, then recovery automatically closed out and it seemed fine but it went into a boot loop, I'm not even sure if it can be considered a boot loop.
It continuously loops between the "Samsung Galaxy S i9000" Logo & "Samsung Galaxy S & Cyanogen [MOD]" logo...
I couldn't enter recovery...
Because I'm a fool, I took things into my own hands.
When into Download mode, used Odin and placed TAR file (I think it's called) into the PDA section and tried it.
It failed and it BRICKED!
So I have a double wammy!
Firstly I need help to get out of the Bricked state before I can do ANYTHING else
Then I have a choice.
I could...
Find away to get out the loop and Cyanogen working with whatever ICS it should be running
OR
Find away to take it back to 2.3.6 and never tamper with my phone and leave it to the professionals.
I would prefer going to Cyanogen over 2.3.6
I also believe "XXJW4" will be of help to you to narrow down the problem.
Your help with be EXTREMELY appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Don't worry, you should've tried harder if you wanted to brick SGS.
My question is: can't you get in download mode?
You may try USB jig or the unbrickable mod. But I ain't able to answer any further due to my lack of accidents during flashing.
It's better for you to wait for some professional opinions.

I can get into download mode without a problem, just not Recovery...
I've been looking around if their is a way to flash the recovery but can't see it for some reason :|
I looked at that bricking mod...
Wasn't worth it!
I found another by the same guy I believe and it worked like a charm So the bricking has been removed.
Never thought I would see the day I would actually Unbrick and bricked phone. I feel so special HAHA
Read this and somewhere in that thread there is a download link for "EZbase" download it and follow the instructions in the EZbase folder you downloaded to flash it up in Odin. However if you use Heimdall then I personally told others how I did it on the second page of the thread.
If you have any further questions just come back to this thread...

when flashing ICS from GB 2.3.6 you need to flash twice. see MY Android solution link below , anyway I think your problem already solved, if not just flash a rescue kit to get back to GB 2.3.6 from MY Android collections link below
A truly wonderful resource xsenman, I have somewhere to turn people thank you.
I think I should update my problem.
I'm out of the Brick.
I've Flashed CWM recovery and I can get into recovery and Download, but it only stay on the first boot screen (where it mentions the name of the phone.
I wanted to load "CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS" from the recovery but the phone is not letting me saying "E:failed to mount /sdcard"
I Flashed dbdata.rfs.tar to solve it But it didn't work.
Maybe an after effect of the Brick?
so I am stuck here at the moment
Also want to say that I realised I did not properly root my phone so I think I have no choice to call it quits and just go back to 2.3.6.
but I don't have a complete or where to get a "recovery kit" you could call it of some sort which can take me back to 2.3.6 with TouchWiz
Oh wait never mind
I used your recovery
WORKED LIKE A CHARM!
MADE ME A HAPPY MAN AND I CAN GO TO SLEEP!
I wish I could pay you for your effort but I guess I can only say how much I can thank you!
Recovery wont work now, something is corrupt. I don't know exactly what it is... maybe the partitioning or something the ROM sets up is all corrupt. I'd like to know exactly what is wrong here as well tbh.
But you need to flash a recovery kit in Odin or Heimdall because I'm not 110% sure (I could be wrong) official stock ROM is the best way to go atm... I've extracted this link from my thread for you which is EZbase and in the folder you'd download there is instructions for use with Odin.
Hope this helps...
Oppps... didn't see that lmao, glad you fixed it!
in need of help
First off all i am noob when it comes to android but i somehow managed to install cyanogen mod. I have been using it for a while but today i dropped my phone and something happened now i cant start it. when i turn it on its stuck between cyanogen mod and gti 9000 sign. i think its in a loophole. by the way i cant reach recovery mode (vol+ home power). i can star download mode but nothing happens when i plug it to my computer.
I require assistance and tahnks to all further replies.
