[Q] Ultibread! V1.3 - How to ?????

Hi
i read carefully the procedure for flashing the Ultibread! V1.3 based on 2.3.x but as a noob on flashing i did not fully understand. can anybody help me at the remarks as per the original description
I RECCOMEND INSTALLING FROM GINGER XWJV1:
do i have to flash that before updating via odin - this is a 2.2 ed.?
Get into download mode
flash a FROYO yes FROYO Speedmod kernel (make sure auto reboot is OFF)
where to get that and which version - pleas a link for dummies like me
Then pull battery and enter recovery mode
when to pull battery and how to enter recover< mode without battery ???
Then in CWK choose Ultibread-V1.3 and apply.
means most likely start in recovery mode and install from sd ???
Reboot
thanks a lot for helping a noob

I'll break it down for you .
1.Download the XWJV1 (it's the official 2.3.2) Firmware from samfirmware.com. Also download Ultibread and put it on your (internal) sd card
2.Flash it using Odin
3.Get into download mode by turning your phone off and then holding the volume up button + home button + power button
4.Download the SpeedMod K13C kernel from here
5.Flash the kernel using Odin (select the tar package under pda, make sure you don't repartition and turn auto reboot off)
6.After flashing remove your battery for 5 seconds and then put it back in. Turn your phone of while holding volume down + home + power. It will now go into recovery mode
7.Now select install update from zip. Select the Ultibread zip and your good to go!
Good luck!

Thanks for the breakdown - now i understand it too and i am almost done

as currently the speedmod kernel is moreless noch acassible for download - if it is just for rooting, may i also use cf-root instead?

you use speedmod to flash rom via cwm

I installed it over my doc rom.. And it worked correctly....
Some applications errored out... but after uninstalling them and reinstalling them everything is working correctly =) (at least it seems that way so far)
You should propably do a wipe and then install so you dont have problems with your apps =P
So yeah... you can probably skip all those nonsense instructions xD

Just do regular procedure because some users have experienced problems like:force closes, fuzzy screen and even soft bricking the device

Do you have samsung captivate (at&t branded galaxy s)? You can't flash I9000 (international galaxy s) roms to captivate.

If your phone is samsung captivate, you can try to flash stock captivate rom with odin.
There is captivate forum in xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=703

Oh, i'm sorry. If you can't go to download mode with "vol down + home + power" combo, i think that you need usb jig. You can make it yourself or buy it somewhere.

ODIN (choose GT-I9000): http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=5&t=1&o=1
Stock rom (choose I9000XWJVZ): http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9000&r=1#regiona
This stock rom come without root, so if you want it, you can flash some custom kernel e.g semaphore. Flash stock rom first and then flash custom kernel also with odin (kernel goes to bootloader box in odin).
Semaphore kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
edit: You need to register to sammobile if you want to download.

ok..thanx for that..but can i go for a custom ROM rather than a stock one? plz gime the ODIN for that aswell..really appreciate ur help!!

Yes you can flash custom rom, but first flash stock rom. Most custom roms are cwm flashable, so you don't need odin to flash those.
- Flash stock rom with odin.
- Flash semaphore kernel with odin.
- Download some JVZ based custom rom from here.
- Put custom rom (whole zip, don't extract) to internal sdcard.
- Go to recovery (shut down phone, then press and hold vol up + home + power). When recovery menu appear, press vol up/vol down to move and power to confirm.
- Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, then go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache.
- When all wiped go back main menu of recovery and choose "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard".
- Find custom rom's zip file and flash it.
- Reboot your phone.
- Enjoy

ur the best man!!! am just waiting to fix the brick n then i do as above!!
i went into this state as of i cudnt get into recover, wen i did thru CWM i couldnt open the update.zip..it was strange..lets c!!
thanx a million!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stock rom flashing help

Hello,
I am completely new to flashing roms on android devices and i am just trying to understand the basics behind the process.
- Installing custom roms
- reverting back to stock firmware after installing a rom
I read the 4th post in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
i kinda have some understanding about flashing roms now but i still dont fully understand it.
My device is a Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
Thanks

What exactly do you want to know?
1. Installing custom roms is pretty easy the hard part is choosing the rom and to flash a rom you need to have the cwm recovery and like be on the base you need. ex: lets say you are on a jvt rom and you want to flash a jw1 rom, well in this case you dud need to flash jw1 from odin and then flash the rom from recovery...., but if you are on a jw1 custom rom, then in that case you can just flash the rom from recovery with wipe (recommended).
2. To flash back to stock: you dud need the stock file from sammobile or from wherever you get it and you would need odin, you place your phone in download mode then you put 512pit in the pit section/ code in the pda section/ modem in the phone section/ and csc in csc. then you have to make sure that repartition is ticked and all the others. make sure that the download is not interrupted for that would brick the phone.
-to flash a kernel you dud need to put the tar file in pda and Don't check repartition and click start.
I hope this helped a little
and remember to do this at your own risk.

Sorry for the noob questions but im just trying to understand haha
1. what are jvt and jw1 roms?
2. When you say be on the base you need do you mean the base firmware required for the rom?
3. How would i know which rom i have now, JVT or Jw1?
4. Whats the thing u mentioned whipe in "you can just flash the rom from recovery with wipe (recommended).?
last.5. I already found the stock firmware i have now and ive downloaded it for later if i need to restore it. but what is the tar file you mentioned in the end?
Thanks Man. I appreciate it.

sorry, this is not meant to be offensive but you have a lot to read. There're some good tutorials on how to flash your phone here on xda. search for it.
short answers to your questions:
1. jvt or jw1 are versions of stock samsung roms
2. I think he means if you are on a jvt rom you should only flash custom roms for jvt
3. settings>about phone
4. wipe means resetting the phone, deleting cache and dalvik-cache

no matter what u know u first should know about flashing stock roms..in case u mess something up u will need to flash the stock roms,its a good thing that u have already downloaded these..then u should know how to install kernels to root n have Clockworkmod recovery,then u will be able to flash custom roms..u should serach the net for these questions with a 'How to' at first...

Instruction for new ROM installation
There are basically 2 methods for flashing a ROM
1. CWM recovery menu mode
2. Download mode.
1. For CWM recovery mode you phone must be rooted with CWM, just put the ROM zip file in sdcard of your phone of your choice. then power off the phone. Then you may want to boot in reovery mode for this use pressing and holding 3 button combination simultaneaously as Volume UP + Home key + Power key now you should be booted in to recovery mode there just wipe data/factory reset then wipe cache from option then find and select install from sdcard -> chose file zip from sdcard and press power key to selct and start flashing. wait max 5 min and your phone will be booted with new rom of your choice.
2. Boot in to download mode by pressing and holding 3 button combination simultaneaously as Volume down + Home key + Power key now you should be booted in to download mode now connect your phone with PC and open odin in PC then select ROM file as PDA, PHONE & CSC under propoer boxes then click start - wait max 5 min and you phone will be booted in to new rom.

[Q] Noob try to root Samsung Galaxy S i9000

Hi all,
firstly I would like to mention that I know that there are a lot of tutorials how to do this..but..I currently can't find the instructions to the latest "stock ROM" (I think its JW6 - if I am not correct feel free to correct me) root..
I would like to know these things:
1) How to root mentioned phone with this ROM?
2) I am not pretty sure but with my HTC WildFire S I didn't need to flash "kernel"? What it is and am I right that i need to flash it?
3) Will I have recovery (like CWM, ..) right after root or will I need to make some more to get recovery?
Sorry for posting this kind of answers - I think that they are already answered but I am little "confused" from information which I get from the internet.. I have already rooted and flashed custom ROM to my HTC WildFire S but with Samsung it looks for me quite "strange" and I really don't know what to do and I also don't want to end up with broken phone..
Thx all which will help me

First you need to download Odin and the Samsung USB driver.
Then download the root file from here. Search for JW4 since there is no root file for JW6. JW4 will work just fine.
Unpack the root file you downloaded.
Boot your device into Download mode by holding down the volume down + home + power buttons.
Open Odin and click AP. Then select the root file (.tar) you downloaded.
Connect your device to the computer and click Start (Make sure re-partition is not checked).
That's it.
Yes you will have CWM Recovery. To boot into CWM Recovery hold down the volume up + home + power buttons.
Hope this helps.

Guys, last compatible version of Odin for i9000 was 1.83, period.
Use JVU or JVZ as only those contain the bootloader you need for any 4.x custom ROM, no other Gingerbread firmware contains it.
@KoFiler on HTC you needed just a custom recovery. Here is the same, but as the recovery can not be flashed on i9000 separately, the package "zImage" contains also the kernel. So you must find a custom kernel that matches the firmware and flash it with Odin to get the custom recovery in package.
