[Q] Questions- CWM, Kernel, and ROM flashing order - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to flash a custom ROM + kernel and I'm running into some problems that I need tips for:
The main problem is that I can't easily flash Clockworkmod to do a backup. I'm on ZSJV6, and apparently this has 3e Recovery, which does not allow simply flashing from ROM Manager. Now I read that the answer to this is to flash the custom kernel CF Root- but what I plan to end up with is Darkyrom + Semaphore kernel, and Semaphore has CWM in it anyway. Do I have to flash CF Root -> Darkyrom -> Semaphore in that order?
Second question- If yes, which version of CF Root? I'm on official ZSJV6, and I see no JV6 version.
Third question- Do kernel versions and ROM versions have to match? I see the latest version of Darky is based on JW1, but Semaphore 2.5 is based on JVU. Can they be used together, and if so, does anything need to be done to make them play nice together?
Fourth question- How is JVU newer than JW1?

first - there is an easy enough way to skip the recovery. use this guide and rom first (cant link to it bugger)(go to darkys rom site. look for gti9000. then [ODIN] DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection GT-I9000. that will put you on to darkys version of cwr. then flash the newer version of darkys rom to get to jv1 and after the semaphore kernal in recovery.
second - i have no idea. im guessing there the same.
3rd. i believe the kernel has to support the android version and the rom has to support the kernel(and vice versa) you can always try it anyway. if it boot loops just flash darkys 10.2 again to get back to basics.
4th - jvu is 2.3.6 and jw1 is 2.3.5 android

[Q] How to downgrade speedmod kernel from K13e to K13c

Hi All,
Reason for this question is that, first of all I wanted to root my newly bought SGS GT-I9000 (2.2 DDJP6) So, flashed speedmod kernel K13E (latest). Later, when I wanted to install MIUI rom, as per the instruction one need to flash K13C kernel.
But, whenever I try to flash SM - K13C kernel on top of K13E, I tend to soft-brick my phone (BSOD). I need to once again flash K13E to get back my SGS to work.
So, in order for me to get on to MIUI rom, I have two options...
1) Downgrade K13E to K13C kernel. And continue to flash MIUI rom.
2) Restore my kernel to stock kernel first. Then start flashing K13C and continue to flash MIUI rom.
Can somebody please suggest, which option would be best and highly feasible?
Thanks in advance for the responses
Prabhu.
i dont think it matters what version of speedmod you are on, its only so you have CWM to flash the cyanogen kernel.
but anyway if you want to downgrade just download the one you need k13c and flash it thru CWM or ODIN and it will overwrite your previous kernel
I did try to flash K13C on top of K13E. Odin just froze at <ID:0/022> zImage step.
Please find the snapshot attached.
how long has it been like that. ?? try to find a CWM version and see if that works.
or just flash miui with your current kernel
If u want to get on miui, follow the guide on theandroidsoul.com/net.....good to have a clean start with ezbase2.0
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I tried the CMW version of speedmod k13c and was successful. But, while flashing the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar from odin again, I got stuck in the below attached odin screen.
Is there any CWM version for the cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar? What is that I am doing different?

[Q] Quick JUWE 5.2 Question

Hi All,
I'm pretty new flashing custom firmware and have only done about 2-3 full firmware flashes to my phone. I had ran a few searches but haven't found an exact answer. Is it safe to flash directly to JUWE 5.2 from CWM (Gingerbread JVK 2.3.3) without upgrading to JVQ first? On JUWE's Rom forum it states, from gingerbread that you can just update through CWM, but on his extended installation guide, it states a few things differently. Specs below:
Bell Mobility I9000m Vibrant
Model Number:GT-I9000
Firmware Version:2.3.3
Baseband Version:I9000UGKC1 (Flashed this separately when I first installed GB due to poor signal.)
Kernel Version:2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVK-CL75655 se infra SEI-28 #2
Build Number:GINGERBREAD.XXJVK
CWM 3.0.0.5
Rooted
Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to all!
yes u can upgrade directly but in juwe's manual he clearly states that u go to stock jvq first before u flash his rom.. follow the manual, its safer..
Ok, so the safest option (which is what I'm looking for), would be to flash the stock JVQ with Odin and then Use Odin again to flash JUWE's tar file by placeing it in the PDA section of odin.
I'm on Juwe's 5.2,
1) you need to Flash Stock JVQ with Gingerbread bootloaders , there are a few threads on dev part of SGS forum
2) then you need a kernel that has CWM recovery [because you install Juwe's rom, through the CWM] - you can use Chainfire's JVQ kernel for that
3) Copy Juwe's Rom on your internal SD and install through CWM, but clear cache and such
My personal recommendation is not to be afraid to try. If the 3-button combination works it is very hard to brick your SGS, so just follow install guides to the letter and all will be great.

New Roms

sorry for the newb questions, but i am finding way to much cross references for rooting and unlocking a bell vibrant could someone help me out I would like to put on a new rom pls.
1. Go to this thread and download JVT. Flash JVT with Odin and make sure re-partition is checked.
2. Go to this thread and download the CF-Root kernel for JVT. Flash the kernel with Odin
3. You should now have stock 2.3.5 with root and CWM installed. Reboot into recovery and use CWM to flash whatever custom ROM you want.
thanks very much just finished and it worked out very well.
2.3.5 and 2.3.6 why not jvu semaphore kernel 2.5.0 and @ oserx o.7.1 rum is the best and fastest rom I had

[Q] [i9000] Recovery mode problem

Originally I had 2.2 on my SGS. When Samsung released the update to 2.3 Kies couldnt update my phone. So I applied the recovery mode downgrade from 3e to 2e via Odin and flashed a custom ROM from romkitchen.org
Now I wanted to flash team ICSSGS rc3.1 rom to my phone but when I go to recovery mode all I get is a black screen.
The phone is working though, and pressing the power button boots it up.
So I installed rommanager.apk by Clockworkmod and via it, cwm recovery.
But still the same black screen.
What can I do to get recovery fully operational again?
Usually when you create a ROM from ROM Kitchen you have chosen a kernel. Which kernel you have chosen?
A recommended way: flash a custom kernel (you can DL from "Android Development" zone) via odin. Then follow the instruction from ICSSGS.
Hope I can help you!
Ah yea, I've forgotten to mention that. I've chosen Talon kernel. Can you recommend me one?
You could flash Semaphore kernel, pick the version to match your rom you have currently installed. Once you have Semaphore kernel installed you can follow the instructions to install ICS rom.

I did this now:
1. Return to stock 2.3.3 via Odin
2. Flash root kernel
3. Install CWM recovery
4. Install ICSSGS RC4.1
5. Install devil kernel
Voila
Thanks for the help

basic Kernel question

I am extracting this specific question from my other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855867&referrerid=1918103
1. how can I tell exactly what kernel I am running? does any part of the code "-N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2"
translate into one of the kernel names that is being tossed about here? (speedmod, abyss et al)
2. and wanting to follow flashing instructions (from 2.36 to stock current ics) to a "t", can I flash any recommended kernel over the one I currently have (see above, which is also no longer stock since I already flashed that but forgot its moniker, btw rooted phone) or is there a one-way caveat?
voila, dumb questions I suppose but at least I hope they're precise;
thx

Go to phone setting, about phone, and then you will see kernel version, the last three letters is the kernel your device is running. For example if it is ics kernel lq3 then it is compatible with cf root 5.6 lq3, if you want to root your phone with CWM recovery. For ics you can use custom kernel regardless what version of kernel it is, meaning it is compatible to any kernel version if it is a custom kernel, by flasing a custom kernel using the pc odin you will root your phone and get CWM recovery also at the same time safe from so called ICS SUPER BRICK BUG.

thanks.
could you address my question if the kernel KK9 (shich appears on my settings readout) translates to any of the known kernels ie abyss, speedmod or other?
can I keep this very kernel (N7000XXKK9-CL725676 [email protected]#2) and flash a custom ICS via CVM recovery?

KK9 is a gb rom and has a stock gb kernel. Abyss is a gb custom kernel. Speedmod is a custom kernel also. To get a custom kernel must flash first in pc odin.
To root and get CWM recovery read this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Yes you can flash custom ics rom over it using the CWM recovery, pls read the op in the custom rom for the procedure before flashing any custom rom. By flashing a custom ics rom you will get ics kernel, you will not retain the kk9 which is a gb kernel.
