Will this work? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ya all,
Just wondering if I can do this:
1) Flash to CF-Root kernel (As close to JV7 as I can get)
2) Flash CM7.1 for i9000
3) Flash Glitch v13.1 kernel (if it has CMW, does it?)
The reason for doing this is to get past the 3e recovery console, as that's stopping me installing CMW outright (from Rom Manager) which I need to flash Glitch.
Tbh, not even worried about which version of CF-Root I flash long as it boots... only going to be on the phone a matter of minutes.
So, will it work? Is there a better way?
Thanks in advance good peeps of XDA

If you come from GingerBread Stock Rom
so you've got System 3e
with 3e can't you flash Zip file over Recovery Mode
You Had Right Way but maybe make a little mistake
If you use CF-Root, then use pls the kernel with Addon CWM (I prefer DarkCore 4.1)
So you've got System 2e, after flashing Kernel
Download
[CF-ROOT] --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 (take the one with ending "-CWM")
[DarkCore] --> http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficeto.u/files/
*Important
to do before flash CM
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
*Optional
to do before flash Glitch Kernel
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
_____
If it was useful don't forget to Thanks

Thank you very much very much diklooc didn't know about the cleaning before install CM7, could have been messy lol.
One more question, if I flash CF-Root with has CMW built into it, will I loose CMW if I flash Glitch?
If CMW will get deleted after flashing Glitch, or if no one really knows... can I flash CF-Root then get ROM Manager and reflash CMW? If I do this, CMW wont disappear if I flash Glitch? ...if CMW will dissapear after flashing Glitch this is.
I could be getting this completely wrong, plus I don't know if Glitch has CMW built in... if it does then there wont be any issues as far as I can see.
Anyone know if there is an Odin version of Glitch (I haven't seen one...)? Would save having to flash anything else as this feels like "the long way round".
Thanks again all, awesome community

You will not lose cwm from flashing glitch, indeed you will have a gucci custom cwm......
No requirement to use rom manager for cwm - that method hasn't really been used since eclair.

[Q] [i9000M] Installing CWM/2e Recovery

I have an i9000M running UGKG3, rooted. I still have the stock kernel and have no modifications. I'm trying to get a CWM or 2e recovery that will let me install update.zip files that aren't signed.
I have tried kernel after kernel, getting bootloops with every one.
I tried signing the CWM update.zip myself but it only managed to remove one of the two errors I get about it not being signed in 3e Recovery. I tried signing it multiple ways, nothing.
I tried replacing some of the recovery files with Root Explorer, to no avail.
I also tried flashing JVQ and JVR so I could use CF-ROOT, but they didn't even get to the "Galaxy S" boot logo before it looped.
Does anyone have a solution?
Anything that works, really. A signed update.zip, a i9000m compatible kernel, a successful replacement method, anything that will install a usable recovery.
Thanks in advance,
Getinaf
I'm in the same situation as you. I have UGKG3 installed, with the rooted stock kernel via Odin. I have tried almost every custom kernel I can think of, and they all boot loop. I've tried Rom Manager to install CWM, and it doesn't work either. I haven't tried any JVR roms yet, but from what I read they should work, so I'm surprised you're getting bootloops there too.
I guess there is something different with gingerbread compared to froyo that makes the kernel more picky. On froyo I had the stock JL2 rom, and was able to install the speedmod k13e kernel to get CWM without any problems at all.
I guess we'll have to beg and plea for a dev to make a modified KG3 kernel with root and CWM recovery. I would be happy with that. I don't care about lagfixes or any other mods to the kernel. I just want root and CWM
I totally agree, that or I'll try and cook us one. I hear there are tutorials for things like root and cwm. I'm really actually trying to install juwe's smart rom, and for the life of me nothing is working. I'm sure there are more people like us out there too, it will be worth it to find a solution.

I am very tempted to make own kernel. Nice and simple: root, and cwm. That's it. Now to find a tutorial
has anyone figured this out yet?i'm in the same situation...
Just flash this kernel on top of whatever you have, it'll work... trust me!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
I've been running that kernel for months back then when I was still running official Gingerbread KG3 from Bell and it's the best one there is.
Installation steps :
- Download kernel
- Start Odin, make sure Kies' services are all shut down
- Select Kernel as PDA in Odin
- Put phone in download mode
- Connect through USB ... Odin should detect phone
- Hit start, reboot phone
- Enjoy, you're done!
If you have problems like FC after that:
- reboot to recovery
- "wipe cache"
- Advanced menu --> Wipe Dalvik cache
- reboot (be patient, it'll take a few minutes to reconstruct dalvik cache)
- you're done!
Did all this and nOw in a boot loop. Can't reflash as debugging is off. I flashed first tIme frOm mObile Odin ?
What ROM did you have installed when you flashed Semaphore kernel?
Please help

Flashing from one custom firmware to another

Hello guys,
actually I've darkysrom with darky kernel on my SGS but I want to change to another custom firmware, mainly because of ICS.
Can I flash the new cfw just by using clockworkmod? Because I remember that there was something concerning the kernel which was important before flashing to another cfw.
Do I have to disable the lagfix before flashing?
Yes you must disable lagfix to avoid problems with the new kernel.

Do I have to seperately flash another kernel or is that been done by flashing the cfw?
Disable lagfix, wipe (data, cache, daliv cache), Flash ROM via CWM, flash new kernel. If it gives you bootloop go to CWM and flash kernel again. It should work ;-)
Hi,
i tried to flash slim ics but something wrong happened. first i opened clockwork recovery and wiped everything. after that i tried to install from zip and choosed the base file of ics slim rom but there came a message which said that the installation was aborted. then i've read in the tutorial that one has to format the system but it still didnt work.
now the phone doesnt boot anymore but i can get to clockwork recovery. i recognized that it is a modificated version from darky with the name "cwm darkycore recovery" or something like that.
can someone please help?
EDIT:
ok the phone is back alive. i flashed darkyrom with odin.
but i guess the same will happen if i try to flash slim ics again so there must be another way right?
EDIT2:
i got it. just installed the cm9 with cwm darky core recovery and after that installed slim ics.
if you've got to the trouble of odin-flashing the darkyrom back ,why didnt you just flash something else ?

[q] installing cwm recovery and cm9 on sgt p1000 india

Hi Everyone,
I have the Samsung galaxy p1000 tablet which is rooted and running stock firmware version 2.3.3 ....i have rooted it using doomslord toolkit....
.....I want to install cm9 on my tab....but i want to make sure everything is good before i start doing anything.......
i tried downloading overcome but download stopped everytime.......
i have downloaded overcome kernel 4.0.0.tar though.....
i want clockwork mod recovery on my tab.....how can i do that?
i am on stock firmware so do i need to restock it through overcome......or flashing the overcome kernel would do it all....
should i flash the overcome kernel only......is it feasible to use that kernel for stock firmware.....will the kernel convert tab into ext4 thereby making it possible to flash cm9
please help me over this......
Thanks..
I did that before, flash the kernel, wait for the conversion to ext4, reboot and flash cyanogen mod. For me it worked for installing AOKP mtd.

Thanks salahmed......but one more question...was ur stock firmware rooted when u flashed the kernel cause that's what is bothering me...and how do i return to my original device clean firmware once i am using cm9....
Thanks once again...

You can always restock using overcome stock safe.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
I have some free time today and so i will flash the rom today.....
Are these the steps i should follow???
1. Flash the overcome kernel only without restocking....
2. let it convert the system into ext4....and let it reboot after it...
3. Then shut down the tab and press volume down and power buttons at the same time till the clockworkmod recovery shoots up....
4. Then navigate to ' install from zip' and select AOKP BUILD 37(decided to flash AOKP) zip file....let it flash and then flash kernel(which kernel should i flash????? or does the AOKP zip contain it and hence it should be automatically flashed)
5. Then flash gapps.....
6. when it's done ....reboot
questions....
when should i wipe dalvik cache and data( before flashing AOKP zip or after that)
?????
also i read somewhere that i can revert back to original samsung firmware by flashing original samsung firmware via odin with "repartion checked".....
After flashing overcome kernel go to recovery wipe cash, dalvic cash, factory reset format data, then flash AOKP, the kernel is included 'z image' , then reboot system let it to complete booting, then reboot recovery again and flash gapps.
And that's right you can revert back with re partition but I did not try it.

Clean & Fastest Way to switch between kernels ICS STOCK

Hi,
I am using GNote Internation Version with INDIAN ICS Rooted Stock Rom 4.0.3.
After reading so many things (Cheers to devs) I finally installed the speedmod kernel K3-12. I like this kernel However I still wants to try the famous & much discussed NoteCore kernel.
Can anybody please tell me the simplest & Fastest method to switch from my current speedmodKernel to Notecore ICS Kernel.
I flashed Speedmod via CMW. Is it safe to flash via CWM ?
Also please let me know do i need to use the "Sybr Kernel Cleaning Script " as well while changing the kernel .
If I Install the kernel from Mobile Odin then I would not have the opportunity to use this kernel Cleaning script.
Also please suggest which method is better to change the kernel by Mobile Odin (Tar File) or By CWM recovery (Press hold volume up + Home+ Power) .
I am going to change the kernel of my phone 2nd time, first was Stock , then i changed to speedmod and now I want to change it to Notecore. Do i really need to run the cleaning script or concerned about kernel cleanup.
I also checked my device using Got Brick Bug ? and I found that my EMMC is having this issue.
Kindly suggest.
ok emmc bug risk is on every single note on the market
mobile odin is faster, but I dont think it cleans. try both You might like one or the other
You can also use ktool

I have flashed various kernels and roms a lots of times. This method is safe and works all the time.
To flash kernel, you need to be in CWM mode. The next thing to do is to flash Abyss and then reboot recovery! After this you are good to flash any ICS kernels, including Notecore and Speedmod etc.
The above method is also used to flash Roms!. But there is an additional step to do the three wipes, ie, wipe data, clear cache and Dalvik cache. YOU MUST ONLY DO THIS AFTER YOU HAVE REBOOTED THE RECOVERY!
Hope this would offer some help.

- fastest and simple way off course Mobile odin since you can execute without reboot to CWM recovery
- and yes you can flash the Notecore kernel from CWM Recovery
- Sybr Kernel script it is optional like already mention above my reply
finally my own suggestion by my own habbit..i always love to flash from CWM Recovery so i can wipe cache and dalvik or battery stat (when i flash on full charge battery) plus Sybr script if i must
* don't forget if you with Speedmod kernel .. directory is read switch over that internal SD became your External SD and your External SD became Internal SD

[Q] Problem installing kernel. Please help.

Before I begin, yes... I did search and look through a few threads with similar titles but did not find my problem.
I am not a phone geek and I am new to all this, but I rooted my Note along with a "Franco kernel", which worked successfully. My phone booted up as it was before (in fact I noticed absolutely no difference in my phone, whatsoever).
The problems begun when I tried to install an "Abyss" kernel via CWM, which apparently installed successfully, but the phone would never get past boot-up (not so successful after all, huh?). I realized that it wasn't going to work, so I though no problem, and went back into CWM and re-installed the Franco kernel that I was using before (which worked). Strangely, this kernel, too, would now no longer boot.
I successfully restored the phone with a GB rom via odin (teriible rom), and proceeded to install the so-called "Hydracore" kernel (love the names) via cwm.... this kernel made things even worse. Once again the installation was supposedly "successful", but the phone doesn't go past boot. This time, it gets stuck on a very dim black screen, which isn't actually black, it is a dark creamy/pink hue that you can only notice in absolute darkness. (WTF?) This screen has random black blotches on it, but again, if you are in a lit up room the screen looks completely black and you cannot tell that it is actually lit. When I say that this kernel made the problems even worse, I say that because when this happens (dim black screen), I cannot even enter CWM recovery at all to try and install a different kernel. From here, I can only access download mode, and have no choice but to restore the phone with the GB rom via odin. I did so, and proceeded to install the latest version of "Hydracore" (v5.4) posted right here on XDA by the member 'chasmodo.' This time, I did the installation of the kernel via odin, which, once again, was supposedly successful... and once again a lie, as the phone just goes into the same black screen, with no option other than download mode.
The sole reason I have wasted hours of my life researching and understanding mobile phone terminology in the past few days is so that I can have jellybean on my Note. It seems that I am unable to do this because the Kernels are not working on my device. I have a very powerful and capable phone, which is currently stuck on this GB rom (which I think has to be the most terrible piece of coding ever made) so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
can you try go back to stock GB rom.. then upgrade to ICS and root using Dr Ketans method and then install Hydracore
You flashed Hydracore on GB rom? that's the main reason behind your problem, this Kernel is not for GB. Now either flash custom GB kernel or flash stock GB firmware using pc odin and then root it. Check post # 2 in this thread for rooting. (I guess you know how to do this )
Once you have root and cwm recovery, you can flash any custom rom you want.

Hi there, sorry to hear of your challenges.
One thing to remember before flashing is the nature of safe / unsafe kernels. Equally as important is compatible / non compatible kernels. It's not clear from your post but did you flash Abyss on an ICS ROM? If so, Abyss is a GB kernel. It will install but the ROM wont run due to lack of compatibility.
Abyss is used by many as a Safe kernel, a base to flash a new ROM from . Alternatively, it can be used to "downgrade" to Gingerbread ROMs.
If you are intent on trying a JB ROM, I would suggest a doing a full wipe (use the numerous guides on XDA) and a kernel clean (jBroid Script Cleaner for example). Now, research Chasmodo's excellent Kernel Repository and choose a kernel. Hydracore 4.3 Standard is a good "benchmark" however you could try the Official CM10 kernel from Entropy. Reboot to Recovery and flash your JB ROM of choice.
You will now have "Full Wiped" (including Script Clean), installed a Safe (Compatible) Kernel and flashed a compatible ROM.
For what its worth, I found GB to be an excellent ROM, particularly 2.3.6 and 2.3.7. CheckROM was one of my favorite ROMs on the S2 and they didnt even feel the need (till recently) to make an ICS version.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Yes, I forgot to mention that when I rooted it I was running official 4.0.3 which I got OTA. After I rooted I tried the Abyss kernel. I had read that if you try and install CM10 straight from ICS you can brick, and that you had to downgrade to GB to do this. There must have been a misunderstanding on my part as I though that installing Abyss would downgrade me to GB.
What I don't understand is that I have now installed a GB rom, yet the Abyss gb kernel still does not work.
The two members that posted mentioned that I should root, though I did mention in the OP that it is already rooted... Am I missing something?
Anyway, I want to avoid having to download any more big files. I already have the latest "nightly" build of CM10 in my SD card. Is there any GB kernel that I can install from where I am now that would make it safe to install the CM10 zip?

If I were on a GB ROM and wanted to run CM10 I would Full Wipe (including Cache and Dalvik) then do the following -
Flash Official CM10 kernel.
Reboot to Recovery (do not go straight to ROM flash)
Once back in Recovery, flash the CM10 ROM.

So the official CM10 kernel is a gb kernel? Because remember that is what I'm currently on.
And just to make sure I got you... wipe everything, install kernel (I don't understand what you mean by "go straight to rom flash"), but then not "reboot system", instead "reboot to recovery", then install CM10 rom?
Also, when you say a "full wipe" do you mean that it will erase everything like a factory reset and delete all my apps and everything else? And is there anyway to install CM10 without doing this or is that the only way?
Cm10 kernel is a jelly bean kernel, so gb rom will not run under it.
Full wipe does mean erasing everything. Coming from gb, there is no other way to install, you need a full wipe, remember, you're updating two full revisions of the os, so it's not surprising a full wipe is needed. If you're worried about your apps, root gb before upgrading and use titanium backup to backup you're apps and then restore them when on cm10.

If you are on rooted GB Rom and want to flash a custom JB or ICS one, this is what you do:
1. drop into recovery
2. do a full wife™ (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik)
3. flash your JB/ICS Rom
4. reboob
Nothing else is needed, no intermediate steps like flashing another kernel in between, and especially no running Jbroid or Sybr kernel cleaning script.

You telling me that I can safely go straight to JB from my current GB rom and kernel?
I already have a "nightly" JB rom on my SD card, so just to be clear, all I do is go into CWM recovery, do a "full" wipe (how do I do that by the way?) and install the JB rom from zip?
Yes, you can go ahead. Just follow the instructions kindly provided by chasmodo.
But please, do not forget to flash GApps after you flashed the JB "nightly ROM which is on your SD Card". Otherwise you won't have Google account, play store etc yada yada.
Full wipe (aka full-wife™) means wipe data/factory reset. Nothing else.

Great! I am downloading the GApps for JB now. How do I install them? I understand that this is also done through CWM recovery, but how do I instal them? do I install the JB rom and reboot to recovery and then just install GApps from zip before rebooting system?
Also, does the full wipe have to be done in CWM recovery, or can I just do the normal wipe on the phone menu before entering recovery?
You flash the ROM by pointing the recovery to the "ROM.zip", the same is valid for "GApps.zip".
So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

So you do the following, no reboot in recovery in between those 2 steps!
Install zip (from where it is located, internal/external SD )
*ROM.zip
*Gapps.zip
*reboot system
Wipe data/factory reset is done (most of the times) in recovery. Just get used to it. Saves you some bad habits on doing it on stock ICS ...

OK install ROM and then install GApps straight away, got it.
Just about the wipe, is it a simple one button wipe that wipes everything, or are there several things that I have to wipe independently? This is the part I'm not too sure about.
Just go into recovery and have a look. I mean, a really close look! Your topic was "need help to install a kernel" not "I don't know how to use recovery and please can someone come over to my place in order to explain me CWM recovery".
Sorry. Everything has been explained. Can't (or rather dont want to) help you further than what has been already mentioned. Period.

That's fine. I'll go into recovery and have a look. Thanks for the help that you did give anyway.
It worked! I have been messing around with my new Note on Jellybean and looking through all the settings. It doesn't have project butter (or at least the project wasn't very successful), but still miles ahead of Touchwiz.
Just want to extend a big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. Much appreciated.
