i suffered that alot when i was new to rooting and flashing, just try flashing a new stock firmware back to the phone from samfirmwares.com and see how you go,
actualy pre rooted firmware
firmware http://www.multiupload.com/YY0JBMUWBF
csc file http://www.multiupload.com/NRVCK6KYWD
512 pit file http://www.multiupload.com/I5WICSBFJ1
see how you go with that, although u may need to manually add youre providers apn settings in after though

Regarding the icon: flash the bootloaders(boot & Sbl) and a working kernel

Thanks for the posts ...fliptechnologies do i use odin to flash them files ? where does the firmware go ?(pda?). Does anyone know if anyone with the same problem has made a guide by any chance ?
thanks

there are apps which help you root your phone using adb
like SuperOneClick you might want to try it, or using a firmware with root as suggested
there is also an app which can be installed in your phone to root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953)
but first you need to get a firmware in order to install that app
get an stock ROM like 2.2 froyo or 2.1 eclair, then try with the app

problem with upgrade firmware

Hi...
I am trying to upgrade the firmware of my Galaxy Si9000.
When I connect to Kies, I get a pop-up saying my firmware is PHONE:JP2 and a new upgrade PHONE:JV4 is available. I tried upgrading but once the process starts,
First I get an option to Backup Data.
Then, I see a window which says "Preparing device for Firmware Upgrade"
And that's it. After some time download begins , in between 50-60% its stops
The screen on the phone stays with the working man but nothing is being upgraded till the moment when Kies asks me for firmware recovery. Unplugging the phone and restarting brings it back to its original state.I tried doing 5 to 6 times but no help.
Any idea???
My Galaxy S is currently running on Android 2.1
Kies is updated to the latest version.
and
i also tried with the manual firmware update or any other custom ROM firmware update from the trusted source provided at AndroidAdvices.com, but the problem is my device doesn't go in download mode (Volume Down Key + OK button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button)...plz help me out........

1. Dear kumar, have you tried to multiply your question even more? I saw that you already asked this question in "Ask me for anything..." thread, and you have started new one... Maybe you shall ask in SG General? Maybe in SGS2 threads?
2. Buy a jig from eBay to go to download mode...

samsung galaxy si9000
instead of buying Jig ......is there any other alternative way to go in download mode?

use "adb reboot download"

[Root] Help, can't root v20c

Posting on behalf of a friend. Here goes:
0) Yes, we've read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105
1) Stuck on V20C. The official LG update utility says this is the most up-to-date version.
2) Have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442588
3) Have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392
4) Have tried method on Cyanogenmod wiki.
Nothing worked. Is there a method that's confirmed to work for V20C out there, or have we just screwed up something? Attempting to eventually install Cyanogenmod.

indeed you can't downgrade using LG updater.. no problem, friend, here's your solution..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
1. download the v10a firmware
2. install the firmware using SmartFlash Tool
3. root the v10a using blackjack
4. install ROM manager, and from there, install CWM
5. you can use the CWM recovery to install another custom ROM

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566532 by the end of it you'll have your version ready to flash and root at your will

Ah, thank you very much.
We weren't aware that the methods for V20C and other V20 firmwares were interchangeable - after several failed attempts and several more perusals through XDA we were beginning to suspect that V20C was unrootable as nobody seemed to mention this version.
Glad we were wrong, now happily running CM7. Phone is reportedly much faster and responsive now. Thanks for the help!

I'm trying to install cfroot/kernel/cust. rom but phone is rebooting all the time

Hi,
My friend bought used Galaxy S. He asked me if I can install any custom ROM on his device. First he has installed 2.3.6 XXJVT. I downloaded CF Root for XXJVT and plugged phone in Download Mode. During installation an error has occurred. Odin shows me "FAIL" on red background. When I'm trying to boot phone it displays me:

}
I'm install stock ROM for Germany, 2.3.6 Value Pack, but this one hasn't got a CF. This ROM is XWJW3. I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34347160
I'm trying to install this kernel but after installation phone is rebooting all the time. I wanted to install CM9 via CWM, so I tried CWM and tried to flash it but during installation phone rebooted. Display shows me "SAMSUNG CYANOGENMOD", then - display shows recovery with red triangle and phonerebooted, then it shows me "SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000". It loops all the time. After that I installed three files XEU with PIT 512 and CF Root for JW4, next I tried CWM and installed CM9 but phone rebooted again. My other friends also have SGS, but with battery. They have got model GT-I9000 but my friend's device model is GT-9000i.

you need to be sure which model you have, either its i9000 or i9001, they are two different models with different flashing procedure and ROM's. Best way is to check IMEI Check your IMEI here or here When you are not sure what model is your device.
For i9000 Follow this guide
For i9001 Follow this guide

Hi,
I installed some random firmware and it got installed. But then phone started looping in boot.
I searched xda and found another thread which i did odin and fixed boot loop.
But after that again to square 1. The actual issue is that as soon as the phone is started the apps, services like google.com.etc etc starts crashing and phone barely boots up. How do I fix this crashing ?
Please help.
Thanks.

[Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat
and flash the gingerbread stock ROM, if you have poor Mobile Network reception problem, you can change the modem for India later, so follow guide and flash with PIT and JVU ROM
or you can flash a rescue kit ( it is the same) If you have everything saved, its best you format your internal SD card for a clean install.
