It is a bit tricky but possible to flash the Indian ROM on a Chinese phone.
First of all you will need MobileOdin or some other method, just load the MD5 file into mobileodin and flash. If you use ODIN remove MLO, Modem and SBL with total commander or something else, remove the md5 extension and Odin will flash it.
You will be stuck at recovery after reboot, you will need the bootloader from the Chinese ICS ROM leaked a month ago, go into download mode and flash the bootloader.
first boot will go into recovery again, reboot again and the ROM will finish it's setup, if still sticking, remove battery and reboot

I have been trying to write firmwares from samfirmware.com onto my galaxy s, and when I write them it just flashes the boot logo, and then resets. I figured out that it isn't actually entering recovery to install the package. Is there any way to fix this? Or have I officially bricked it?
Note: I just unrooted, that's when the problems started. (stupid I know) I was running CWM Recovery, and Darky's Rom
does it enter download mode ??
if so flash a full 3 file firmware in odin with pit and repartition
EDIT: you cant flash odin files in recovery.. only in odin using download mode
Did your phone have 3BR to start with?
Yeah it enters download mode, says pass when I flash it etc, just when it reboots it doesn't write the flashed package. Do you know where I can get a 3 part package?
@geesamsungs - what do you mean...? Sorry, only very new to flashing.
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?

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.
Thanks

Can you get into download mode then install a rom via odin. I did something similar and this fixed it.
also got this problem, but now fixed. have a look here.

That bootloader patch didn't cause those lines. They come from flashing a kernel that has unsigned bootloaders.
You need a complete flash with a .pit file and repartition. Go to teamovercome.net, downloads, stock safe gingerbread. Get the instructions guide while you are there also. After you repair your bootloader, you can flash any other rom you wish, or just stick with the stock gingerbread.

Hi everybody
Im new here and to flahing new Roms and stuff.
i believe my phone is bricked and im struggling to get it opperational. Here is what happened...
I have a GT-N7000 on 4. 1. 2 Jelly Bean, which i rooted and flashed to custom ROM CynoganenMod 12 on 5. 0 Lollipop. All was going fine, i rooted my phone, installation went accordingly. After a week or so whithout any problems, my phone started to freez, slag and hang which it never did before, so i decided to flash it back on 4. 1. 2 Jelly Bean I did all as is step by step on Odin 3.-v1.8. When my booted, it booted into System Recovery...
reboot system now (I did)
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage (I did)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partion
apply update from cache
-----------------------------------------------
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Applying Multi-CSC. . .
E : All failed to mount and open in red ( Invalid argument )
Nothing seems to work, so when i pull out the battery but it back and press "Volume down, Menu and Power button it takes me to the screen with the Warning and yellow triangle where i can install a custom ROM...
Volume up : Continue
Volume down : Cancel ( restart ) (I did)
When i Volume up it takes me to...
ODIN MODE
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : NO
CURRANT BINARY : SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
My problem is i have no clue what my PDA nor my CSC code is. Im from South Africa and not sure either which of these are correct.... XFV, XFC, XFM, XFA (im not network locked) so i dont know which firmware to flash with Odin to make my phone opperational again? Any help please guys.

Download Philz kernel in tar.md5 format and flash using Odin... Then try to boot into recovery. You should see cwm. Factory reset and flash a stock rom again.

I have tried Phillz and did as you suggested. Im confident that i dont have the correct firmware. I downloaded this from Sammobile : N7000XXLSZ_N7000OJVLSB_N7000LSO_HOME.tar.md5.
Not sure how to go about this....
Doesn't matter what firmware you had.. Once you do a factory reset you can flash any rom made for the n7000
Were you able to get into Philz cwm recovery after you flashed the kernel?
Hi there.
I am happy to report that my phone is back to its original state. Phew, that wat too close for comfort.
I figured that it was obivously bricked or something close to it.
The problem was that i repartitioned it with the wrong PIT file and wrong kernel. Why i did that, i dont know? So i found firmware i thought would be the correct one! In its bricked state i copied the file superuser to my external, so can unzipit in CWM recovery. I download a file flashprogram Samsung N7000 +Pit. I then unzipped it and found the .Pit file which i flashed onOdin3 v1.85 at the same time with the firmware, have it repartitioned, and install the firmware.
It passed with success. Go Green!!! )
It booted to Philz recovery and installed the zip file superuser, took your advice then rebooted.
My phone switched on but a page came up where i had to give a password decrypting the device storage. Freaked out repeated the same prosesswith Odin and it started up normaly and suprised to see it restored to its original state* *smile*
*Just be carefull not to go flash the wrong stuff on your phone if your not sure what you are doing ( like i did! )*
I took your advice to heart and want to thank you for your expertieze. I learned alot from my phone the past 3days.
Regards.Johan
