I can flash directly from Gingerbread? I tried 2 times with OdinOne Click flash but I have not flash because Odin gets stuck in factoryfs. Thanks to USB JIG I managed to revive my Captivate.
yes you can, but why?
odin sometimes locks up. keep trying. where did you get this one click?

I will try with a file .tar i got. I need Flash CyanogenMod 7.1, the Stock ROM Gingerbread is worse than Eclair, I am disappointed, I thought it would be better
Another question. It is necessary wipe/data before flash with Odin?
Just flash CM7 from where you are now. And Odin wipes it for you

Are you sure that I can flash directly from Gingerbread 2.3.5 (Stock) to a ROM CyanogenMod 7.1 (Official)? Had I known it would not be with the disastrous Stock ROM 2.3.5. And from any Custom Kernel? I have Corn Kernel v7.06
Yes flash it with CWM Recovery and it will boot loop (supposed to happen). Pull the battery and put it back in. Boot into recovery and wipe everything then flash CyanogenMod and Gapps. Reboot and you're good to go. If you wanna flash a custom kernel I recommend Glitch 13.1

No need to Odin.. it's a CWM flash. Just root your phone, install CWM, replace recovery with the patched 3e recovery (see attachment), copy firefly zip on internal sd, reboot into recovery and flash the firefly zip from the sdcard. Let it do it's job... It may looked stalled on Formating DATA for a while but just leave it alone for a few minutes (5-10) then it will go on. Reboot and your done.
flash it or not
do i have to put that attatchment in the root of my internal sd card and flash it with cwm?
Does firefly work on a stock ROM? Based on the OP's post, I think he has a stock rom on, and he rooted the same.
probably, anyways how would i get to stock firmware from a rom? 2.2

FireFly is going to replace the stock ROM
And yes you can Flash it over 2.1 (Eclair) or 2.2 (Froyo)

do i have to flash a kernel before flashing the rom or can i directly flash the rom?
You can directly flash the rom using CWM. Later on, you can switch to other kernel.
if i flash it and want to go back to stock, how would i get back to 2.2 rogers
Hi,
I've tried to flash the latest MIUI ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S but now I'm stuck at recovery mode. When I reboot I always get into recovery mode. I just can't boot it. I tried to wipe and put other rom's on it but I just can't get phone working! I can get into download mode.
So can my phone still be saved?
Hope you guys can help me out!
I would try a clean XXJPU install with ODIN, after you'r on stock install a custom kernel with root - then try cm7 (easier install ) then moving to muiu would be easy.
okay thank you, you would be a hero of you could save my phone haha.
wich custom kernel do you prefer?
If you have download mode install a clean 2.2.1 JPU whith Odin (pit 512 and Re-partition).
Once you have it working, flashing as you want.
Froyo 2.2.1 custom Kernel: speedmod k13d.
GB 2.3.3 custom kernel:Voodoo test 6.0 or GTO Ginger JVH RC1 v2.1.
both for recovery (zip files).
DamianGTO Ginger JVH RC1 v2.1 kernel works fine for gingerbread roms
if you are able to get into donwload mode, you are saved
looks like the ROM you are instlling aint working, or your doing it wrong
i would suggest trying a stock firmware first then you can go crazy and try with new stuff
Sorry, im new to all this! I have a stocked rom and stocked kernel i had no way to get to the clockwork recovery so i tried flashing talondev kernel and my wouldnt start anymore so then i flashed the setrion kernel and it worked fine but iwanted to install the contiuumm rom and then i tried to install it from the recovery and my got bricked! i unbricked it and restored it stock again but i dont know where to start again! please help me im still a noobie to all this, but ireallly want that rom!
First off do you have Gb bootloaders? Secon after you flash Talon turn on recovery (i897 bootloaders Vol up and down + power button, i9000bootloaders down+power)
is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129821
so i just flash that and then flash the talon one? but will that get me to the clockwork recovery too?
according to this Flash GB bootloaders and flash the kernel and it should work. Mind you that's a I9000 rom and it should work with I897 bootloaders but I've never tried it. But I usually recommend I897 over I9000's just because its native, but its a thing of choice i guess.
I currently have a rooted phone with custom 2.2.1 based rom.
CWM recovery is also installed.
I'd like to know if I can flash a stock rom via recovery.
You need Odin/heimdall to flash a stock ROM. Look in the development section stickies, or do an official update

So if I downloaded I897UCKJ2.rar I can only flash it via ODIN ?
You are on Froyo bootloader...with froyo rom...for GB roms u have to flash GB bootloader...there is a whole thread in Dev section with different options to flash GB...I would suggest flash KK4 with bootloader and then Kernel with CWM built in...and u will be good...NOTE: Falshing bootloader might brick your phone...but u just have to do it once...
If you just want the latest "stock" gingerbread you can just use the samsung kies mini to get kk4 and it will give you bootloaders and the stock rom
Hi, I used cm9.1 for a week but was disappointed with it's battery life, so i decided to try cm10 nightly. I did the CWM backup but after that i entered boot cycle and cannot boot to recovery now. Boot to download works fine, so what are my options now? Should i flash a stock rom and try flashing cm10 nigtly after that?
Edit: Managed to get recovery working but the recovery file itself doesn't work.
Try flashing Semaphore kernel for ICS via Odin, it may boot properly or it could get you to CWM, then you could flash a ROM... If not, download this http://d-h.st/4nP , it's pack of 3-file stock jw5 value pack, pit512, cf-root and Odin, flash it (if u know how), then just flash cm10 or cm9.1, your choice, there shouldn't be any problem
Thanks alot! Worked in the second attempt (the semaphore flashing)
I was upgrading from 9.0rc2 to 9.1 and encountered the same problem; could not get my phone into recovery mode, only download mode. Flashing Semaphore ICS 1.3.0 using Odin3 got my phone booting again without losing any data, settings or apps
