(Q) Quick Guide on CM9 installation process

sup xda!?
I was trying to ask for this in the General Thread for CM9 but only found trouble..
After looking through the thread for over an hour, I still couldn't find a comprehensive guide on how to install CM9 on my device..
I know that you need PC-Odin for it, you need gapps and of course the zip of the ROM, but I just can't figure out what to flash, what Kernel to flash and how to..
As I saw many people asking about this, I think it would be greatly appreciated if one of you pros could spare the -minutes- it takes to give us noobs some info..
I am currently on the latest Stunner build and on the LP6-Kernel..
thanks for any help! peace
EDIT:
ok, copperdawgnc sent me to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
and told me:
"This will show you how to use PC ODIN & has GB roms to download"
so it seems that we need to use PC-Odin, as expected, and install a GB Rom first..
I know how to use Odin a bit but I still don't know what to install..
what Kernel, which ROM, any ROM? and do I really have to flash an unrooted stock and re-root..? why is that necessary?
p

Maybe this can be of some help:

thanks!
so, it should go like this:
1 get ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000XXLC1 (Europe) or ODEX PRE ROOTED N7000DXLC2 (Malaysia)
2 install via PC-Odin
2.1 get PIT file and choose the 3 (?) files mentioned in the screenshot
3 after it's done: download Mobile ODIN
2. download CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LC1-v5.3-CWM5.zip
3. load CF-Root kernel using Mobile Odin
4. get back into recovery
5. wipe data
6. install cm9 and gapps
7. wipe
8. done?
seriously?
wouldn't it work if we only install the CF-Root-Kernel LC1 (?) and flash CM9 from there through Odin?
LC1 or some other Kernel?
thx

Thanks for posting this question, MrKancho. I can't help, but have the exact same situation myself, with imilka's CM9 rom. Just want to confirm that the installation method you outlined works without any problems before trying it myself.
Thx

You want to flash CM9 through Odin?
And how do you propose to flash a zip file using Odin?
:facepalm:
You flash CM9 and Gapps using CWMR.

[Q] Bootlooping Problem in Galaxy S I9000

Hi,
I have a problem when trying to flash my galaxy s and install ICS Dark night v5.5.
When I try updating the kernel using ODIN, my phone gets into bootloop.
It is a froyo installed phone. Also, I am unable to get recovery mode. It enters download mode though.
Can anyone help me out in this??? I am very new to this stuff... I am a beginner...
Held up in this for a couple of weeks.....
Thanks,
Sridhar

If you can boot into download mode, use ODIN to flash a stable rom, then get CWM and your back to where you were, hold off the nightly builds or post in the Cyanogenmod official thread or forums.

Thanks a lot... That did work.. But now i have got Mobile network not available error after flashing.....

Probably best to mention which version of software you are using and the source...
Best option is to flash stock gingerbread version via Odin.
www . theandroidsoul . com / xxjvu /
sorry can't put correct address in yet dont have enough thanks...

it would be better to update to any stable stock rom, go to sammobile.com...
i suggest you update to the latest firmware or ics stock rom for i9000 via odin then root that firmware you have chosen(CF-ROOT) and then update the custom rom darknight v5.5 via cwm...

I think you need gingerbread bootloaders for ics.. You were on Froyo, so it won't work.. You'll need to install a stock gingerbread rom with the pit file and repartition.. After that you can try an ics rom..

I found this thread. After attempting to get CM9 onto my S it wouldn't boot so I used odin to install a stock from from sammobile but now the phone just boot loops.
Could someone please help me.
More info:
After the odin flash - I get a screen like the recovery menu saying things such as "E:Format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10" and things of a similar nature - will have to see what the others say.
Any ideas?

You probably flashed a rom without bootloaders. Try flashing a 3 file rom from here and repartition with 512 pit.

[Q] Update My Galaxy Tab 7' P1000 - ICS

I already rooted with using superoneclick, and i wanna know how to install ICS on my tab please help me. (super user it there)
Model Number
GT-P1000
Firmware Version
2.3.3
Baseband Version
P1000XXJPZ
Kernel Version
2.6.35.7
[email protected]#2
Build Number
GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO UPDATE.

Go to http://www.teamovercome.net
Just in case you don't know, overcome is Gingerbread.
You only want overcome kernel as stepping stone so you have a cwm recovery.
Once you have cwm recovery, you can flash anything, including ics.
Since you are already on JQ1, I don't think you need to follow the whole flashing their stock safe rom, since it is also a JQ1.
just grab the overcome kernel 4.0 tar, and also download ics cm9 or aokp ( your pick, go thier individual thread and read up) and latest gapps, put them on sdcard.
I think you do factory reset first, then flash overcome kernel using Odin.
Then boot into cwm recovery by pressing volume up and power on at the same time.
From recovery flash ics and then flash gapps.

Actually more choices of rom now, SGT7 ICS by cdesai (also recommended) and Gummy (not recommended for now seems very buggy, although it has better theme).
After following priyana's instruction,
Remember, as mentioned in each instruction on the perspective rom's thread,
You will get a strange 'recovery loop' as if it's failing to install. Just go back to recovery mode (power + volume up)
and reflash the ICS-ROM .zip file.
Welcome to the world of ICS.

thank you guys very much for the information. i am a noob and i really can't see anything how to do this.. please tell me step by step how to do that if so that will be very easy me to do.. i don't know anything about rooting but i already rooted it with superoneclick root and super user is there too i don;'t know what to do with it. please help me.

See the guy phloke posted a cached copy of the overcome guide.
Download it, it is a .PNG graphic file.
Read it ten times.
Follow that exactly, and let us know how it goes.
Edit: after that we talk about ics.

First, thank you for reading this. I had rooted & unlocked my at&t GT-P1000 using custom ROM 4.1.0 from teamovercom in January, 2012. Today, I like to something new and curiousity that can I install ICS custom ROM. But I am still not confident by reading from here: " http://rootzwiki.com/topic/22246-ro...ung-galaxy-tab-p1000ln-gsm-build-38-11062012/ " (please no quote). Now, I'm asking for your generousity and patient to show me what other steps I need to do to flash ICS custom ROM after follow teamovercome user guide, and my tab still able to make/receive call and I have now, thanks again. Pleae, please, and please reply to " [email protected] ".
Best regard,
Van.

you already have Overcome, so it is dead simple
- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.
- boot to download mode
- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar
- once flashed the tab reboots.
- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off
- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )
- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)
- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.
- force reboot to recovery again
- flash ICS again
- immediate after complete, flash gapps
- reboot
To go back to GB you need to do the Odin restock all over again though.

Flashing Custom ROM on my devices

Hello!
I currently own a SGS II I9100 and a SGNote N7000. The I9100 is on stock GB(rooted) and N7000 is on stock ICS(not rooted). I want to have CM9 on both my devices. Both my devices are in the faulty hardware list that ICS brickbug can affect. So decided to downgrade the N7000 to GB before flashing CM9. Went through a lot of threads here, and one in particular was by Dr.Ketan which lists all the stock firmwares. A bit unsure whether my understanding of the steps are correct or not!
Download the stock firmware files of GB
use PC Odin to flash GB(as per steps in Dr.Ketan's guide)
after flash wipe and do factory reset(any corrections?)
Flash CWM Recovery(or need to root before this?)
Install CM9
My concern is that the N7000 is already on ICS. Won't a direct downgrade to GB via PC odin brick it?(Please don't castigate me if this question enrages you! I am dumbfounded here.)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
NOTE: I did ask this question by mistake in the SGS II section(since i'm going to flash CM9 to both my devices). But all i got was a sarcastic reply and a link to the CM9 Nightlies Discussion thread(because i used N7000 as an example!). I did go through many threads before posting this question, so please tell me whether the steps according to my understanding are correct are not and also if i'm missing something here. This is my first attempt at flashing ROMs. Once i get the hang of it, i wouldn't ask such questions. Thanks.

To be precise From GB kernel you can flash as much as you want. There is no risk. Follow Dr. Ketans Guide for the same. But for your N7000 as u r on ICS you need to be first on a safe kernel like Abyss 4.2. Since yiu do not wipe for the Kernel change it is safe as wiping or factory reset from an ICS kernel triggers the brickbug. So as the thread link above will say DO NOT WIPE WHEN IN ICS.

Yes i do understand that wiping from ICS will wipe the life off my device as well :silly: I wanted to go back to GB and then flash CM9. Let me re-phrase my question then. Is going back to GB from ICS as simple as downloading stock ROM from Dr. Ketan's page, Flash it via PC Odin and after flash, wipe and do factory reset? Do i have to re-partition or something? Because in the thread that you've pointed me to, the OP has posted saying going back to GB by repartitioning and flashing via PC Odin! I'm truly in the dark here. Kindly advice!
This is what i have now:
Directly rootable KL1 stock rom from Dr. Ketan's Page
Odin 1.85
CyanogenMod9 RC2 for N7000
So do i have to Flash GB, root it, flash CWM Recovery and get into recovery mode, and flash from the CM9 zip? These steps are the ones that are confusing me.

Yep, the steps you've outlined are correct, simple pc Odin flash of gb, no need to repartition. Then from there you can root and cwm, then flash cm9 zips through cwm.

[Q] Get SGS back to Factory Defaults

Hello All,
Have some issues with my phone that i want to run it through you all.
I live in India. I have a SGS GT-i9000
I got it first with 2.1. I updated it to 2.2.
At 2.2, I installed DarkyROM and played around with it. I tried going back to 2.2 after a few days. At that point, the Lagfix was enabled and then the flashing did not work.
I somehow fixed it and was able to resolve it and get the phone working. This was close to a year ago and i do not remember what exactly
I then installed 2.3 and it was working great. However, from then on, Any flashing i do, i get the dbdata.rfs error message and i've to flash the dbdata.rfs downloaded separately for that issue. That works, But again, If i try to flash, or do a Format Internal Flash, i see the problem again.
How do i fix it?.
I tried going back to 2.2 with the 3 file method and then went to 2.3. Same Issue
I just want to format the phone completely and go back to a saner state. Please help.

Tried. It works. But then comes up with a complete error trail when resetting the phone.
I am trying to get that error now. Had it somewhere......... Basically, it says unable to format and so on.

Hi.
I did this now...............
Installed Froyo 3 File combo. ( since i read it somewhere) and did a Factory reset. Works ok
Installed GB 2.3.6 3 File Combo and did a Factory Reset. Works Ok. No Error Message
And then Installed CM10 and Slimbean. All working ok
However, I come back to my original question: What is the best process to get my phone to complete defaults?.. Like all hidden partitions cleared to how it should be even to the partition format level and so on.

http://d-h.st/4nP - this is "GB Flash kit", unpack it - in there you'll find 2.3.6 JW5 ROM, Odin v1.85 and also CF-Root kernel, after flashing this your phone will be ready to flash any stock or custom ROM

Yes it is 3-file stock JW5 ROM for SGS i9000 (from Samsung) +PIT512, JW5 is not newest, but for example in my country it is... there is already JW8 value pack.... just signup to http://www.samfirmware.com/, then type "i9000" in the search field and check the newest ROM for your country/carrier ... I posted the GB Flash kit cause it is the best way to prepare your phone for flashing any ICS or JB ROM, also for flashing 1-file ROMs downloaded from samfirmware
